DEERRIELD.

Well, the election is over, and II looks as II we
had been "gobbled." In DeeIAeld we succeeded
in making small reduction in the Republican
majority given at the October election. In the
recent canvass some striking peouliarities were
presented, First, we beheld party claiming to
be OF "high moral ideas" supporting two OF The
most politically corrupt men 10 the party for the
two highest positions, one Of whom was turned
out Of oflce by his political friends for corrupt
practices that could not be endured even by the
corrupt Republican party. seCOud we behold
party bowling at the Rebel Brigadiers," yet
keeping high official honor on that distinguished
loyal patriot" Longstreet who did more than
any one man IN destroy The Union al Gettysburg,
and denOnuclng the Rebel" Hancock, who did
more than any one man to whip that same
"loyal' Longstreet. Third, we behold party
claiming to be for high tariff and protection,
yet supporting an open and avowed Free Trader,
and an honorary member of an English Free
Trade Club FOurtl, we behold a parry, claim
ing to be the especial friends Of the workingmen
of the United States, yet supporting a man who
is In favor OF Chinese immigration, in order that
we may have cheap labor" Verify, 1t must make
some men feel good to be consistent,
