IT'S ALL OVER.
We Mean the Saturnalia OF the
Past Two Days and . Half.

The Republicans OF this city, a. well
as all over the country, have since
Tuesday night been having, in the i'm
mortslized words OF the profane parrot
after his fight with the monkey, "a h-l
of time" They have all felt in an "Oh
be joyful state and the Democrats have
SO far seen no reason why they should
not feel so.
The rain OF yesterday cooled their en-.
tnusiasm off somewhat, still, all day
long, groups were gathered on the cor
ncrs and the saloons were crowded.
Every once in q while cheer would be
heard followed by toot OF one OF those
ear-piercing horns. Although there was
considerable noise, still, after the horri'
BILE din and pandemonium OF Tuesday
night, Wednesday morning, afternoon
and evening, the noise of Yesterday
was nowhere and it seemed in
comparison like Sunday. The news.
paper offices were crowded all day with
anxious individuals who wanted to
know about Col. Ben Wilson's chances
for Congress, and the betting fraternity
were anxious as to California, Oregon
and Nevada. The returns were meagre
and not much satisfaction was gained.
But very few additional bets were
made, and those on Wilson, but nearly
every one wanted to hear from Wetzel
before they risked their money. About
4 o'clock word was received that Weizel
gave Wilson $50 and that with the
changes in other counties seemed 10 in.
sure his election and bets were then
made that he would not have over 800
more votes than Hutchinson, but in
very lew cases taken.
About q o'clock Tumor was started
that put every Democrat on his mettle,
and drove every one to the newspaper
offices, while the Republicans, with pale
faces, gazed at each other and asked ii
such thing was true. The report was,
that Barnum had telegraphed that the
State Of New YORK had gone Democratic
by 5000. This was followed by rumors
that il was 1000, and that the Republic
can majority was cut down to 1000
Nothing OF this nature had been rs'
ceived at this Office, and as the New
York wires were busy. Baltimore was
wired, and the answer came back
"Wonld to God it had!" The rumol
spread like wldtire, and upto l2o'clock
the streets were crowded with anxious
inquirers, while the telephone bell was
ringing continually, and the question
always asked was, What the is this
about New York; At last people came
to the conclusion that the rumor WAS q
myth and was gotten up for betting pur'
poses; some explained it by saying the
State had gone Democratic by. that ma
jority in 1916
The saloons did a good business, but
there was not so much drunkenness
displayed as characterized the forty
eight eight hours previous, but there
were lots OF biz heads and general
PLAYED out and bunged up looks about
a large majority of people.
o.day it is probable things will settle
down and look as in former days. The
people will talk OF it awhile longer, but
the agony is over, the drunk ended, and
now for business and work for better rc'
suits next time.

Fun in tho Camp.

Yesterday morning there was circus
ola mild type at the Faeder rancho,
corner Twentieth and Main streets. IL
seems that the old lady has been out OF
town, at least our informant states,
and YESTERDAY she returned, and pro-
ceedsd TO ascertain from her lady 60
boar,lers il all had been well during her
absence. One OF the trail damselS gave
her startling piece of Information.
She told ile that caused blood TO be
seen in Mrs. Ships, nee Faeder, eye.
IL Was that John Ship, her hu..
baLd. hau, during her absence, been
altogether too loving To the colorei do
mesric who reigns in the culinary de
partment. John Was then interviewed
by the Madame. hut he denied the soft
impeachment and apparently all was
lovely. But it was rot so, outside ap-
pearances are often deceiving. and as
soon as John conh lay his hands on
Lizzie johnson -the dispenser OF the
scandal-immedistely thereafter, Lizzie
found herself lolnced roughly out ut
the house into the cold, vi IL, vile
world. This action aroused the Madame
and she lit out after John, then there
was trouble. and soon thereafter Officer
"Yank" sullivan served some warrants,
and now he goelh about with bland
smile and saws he will cen have them
before His Honor this morning. Seiah !.

An confederate's Tribute to
Gen. Hancock "A Pleasing Inci-
dent.

Among the speakers at the Ham
cock ratification meeting at Warren
ton, Va, was General VILLAIN IL.
Payne, leading lawyer of that town.
and brigadier general in Cen Fitz
Lees c, Moderate cavalry division
In a synopsis of Gen. paync's speech
the Warrenton Index says:
Gen. Payne related an incident
personal to himself, which illustrated
how entirely Gen. Hancock sought to
end the war and soften its hardships
10 its victims. lie described the
scene when his house in IYarren-
ton was surrounded at dead Of night
al ter Llncoln's assassination, in viola
tion OF the terms Of capitulatlon at
Appounattox, and how he was drag
ged to Fairfax Court-house, though
but recently badly wounded. aud
locked up in jsil with Federal deser-
ters. All the property he then had
in the world. consisting of horses and
equipments, we've taken IRON him and
his aid, and from thence he was
hurried to Washington City, where,
with four companions. he was hound
ed through the streets by an infurialed
mob who supposed the prisoner had
some connection with the assassina
ton From Washington he was
transferred, in Nas. to Johnsons
Island and supplied with the un-
pleasant information that he would
be held for amnesty. Whilst there
every effort was made for his release
by interesting some one oil influence
| in his behalf. Gen. Grant was adj
dressed by Gen Lee; Henry Winter
Davis was approached through q
relative of his wife; and appeals were
made through Secretary Stanton aud
others in authority. But no one
could be induced to concern himself
in the matter. At length General
Payne addressed a letter to General
Hancock. The reply was an instant
order ior his release on the parole
granted the Confederate army; and,
better still, an order Tor the rrstora-
iion of all property taken from him,
On his return home. in June, he found
awaiting his call his own as well as
his aids horses and all their equip
ments, except sword especially val
ued for the inscription upon it. That
sword was appropriated by an officer
sitting upon the Of Mrs. Surratt and
was being worn by him. In a short
time that, too, was returned to him,
and will be handed down to his
chillren's children. The audience
could well understand that in the
generosity, the justice. and the soldier
like conduct Of Gen. Hancock in this
comparatively triaing matter the
speaker recognized noble ami mag
nanimous spirit and why he should
