Immediately after the last cleo
tions for Congressman, the Republi-
cans gave the shout Of triumph as
they supposed that they had the con-
troll of Congress. But it seems now
that they must make some combina-
tions, similar to the Malone sena-
torial one, in the House, if they
would hold supremacy there. The
result of the last Congressional race
was LAT straight Republicans, 1872
straight Democrats, 5 Independent
Democrats, and a motley array OF
Greenbackers, Gre enback Demo
Gratis and Greenback Republicans
numbering 9. Since the election the
Republicans have lost four and the
Democrats one. For the Republi-
cans to organize the next House they
must elect members in all four OF
these districts, which looks almost
impossible as the Democrats are
almost certain to elect a member in
Morton's district, in New York. The
Republicans will then be in a min
GRITTY of one, and they will have to
find another Malone.

DEFEATED!

The result of the election in this
county on Tuesday last was a eva
terloo route' to the Den ocrats, the
Republicans making a clean sweep
of their ticket, even to the defeat of
Townsend for a second term of Clerk
of the Court, which result is a sur
prise to even many Republicans
themselves. There is no use, how
ever, to moralize over it now. A
majority have ruled it so, and ifthey
can stand the election of the ticket,
we will try to. We hope it may turn
out for our good. We have not the
official vote to give this week, but
the majorities are alE below 200, ex-
cept Treasurer Cooper and the vote
on the Governor. 1t is enough to
know we lost all, and that it a
through the supineness of Democrats
alone. It may bea severe lesson to
some. Y;s5 81
The result in the State at the pres
ent writing TUESDAY, noon,) would
indicate the election of Gov. Foeter
by from 10000 TO $4,000. Nothing
definite can be said as to the Legis-
lature.

The political situation is one of
quietude, and will so remain for some
time. Vice President Arthur's &C
.cession was made without a jar,
thanks to our admirable system of
government. What he will do in the
future is the subject of much spec
ulation. That he win, I'M few weeks,
and probably while the Senate is in
session, change the Cabinet is hardly
without a doubt. He will have his
confidential advisers in full sympathy
with himselfand his policy, whatever
that may be. Arthur's accession
brings new men to the front, and
Grant, ConkIing, ct. al, are again be-
coming prominent. A great many
Republicans are getting ready to eat
a good deal of crow, and the way
some of them gulp it down it cannot
taste so bad. One of the most mel
ancholy features of this change OF
dynasty is the loss of manhood which
has befallen many men. A month
ago, no epithet was too ere for
Mr.. Arthur, in the minds and speech
of one wing of the Republican party,
but the same men now declare that
he is not half so black as they had
painted him, and stand ready to fall
down and worship him. But this
will hardly conciliate the e Presi-
dent. He knows his men. All Demo
Gratis hope his administration may
rebound to the honor and glory of
the country.

There was a bitter quarrel among
st. Louis Baptists, the sides being
led by the Rev. Drs. Boyd and Lof-
ton but these two gentlemen, with
several of their followers, have pub
lished the following over their names:
whatever errors or faults there may
have been in the past among US, after
a full and free interchange of views,
we do now, without any compromise
of principles, bury all our grievances
at the foot of the cross, and pledge
ourselves to be one in the cause of
Christ" There are some other
churches that might profit by this
example.

Probably no other medical paper
ever written has had so many unpro-
fessional readers as the report of the
examination of President GARFIELD's
dead body by the surgeons. People
unfamiliar with this sort of literature
will be struck with two things: the
capacity of the medical language for
exact description, and the ease with
which it can wrap in polysyllables a
great and grave blunder. So calm
and e. f-possessed is the tone of the
scientific gentlemen making this re-
port, and so considerable is the ana
tomical knowledge displayed, that no
one reading it.without previous &C
quaintance with the case would i'm
agine that it was the confession of a
tremendous professional blunder, de-
tccted only after the patient had
passed beyond the reach of profess,
ional aid.

One Of the saddest things to the
mourner, after the burial of the dead,
is to see the even flow of business,
the noisy wheels of trade roll on, and
all the world forgetting the dead.
We, as individuals, have but small
concern in the public mind. We die
and are forgotten. 1t is wen the
fate of great men. The country
just now feels a great sorrow at the
loss of President Garfield, and many
thousands regard the deprivation of
his gifts to his country as irrepara-
BILE. Those ofus, however, who have
mourned the death of Webster, of
Clay, of Lincoln, know how soon the
greatest fame is lost in the hurry
and turmoil. the cares and anxieties
of life. Today President Garield's
name is upon lips, which a year hence
will fail to speak his praise.

Since in some cities and towns
subscriptions of small fixed sums to
the GARFIELD fund have been opened
among people whose scanty earnings
make even these sums hard to give,
it should perhaps be pointed out
that anything like c%ompulsion in
procuring such subscriptions should
not be resorted to. 1t is already
certain that the family will have
half a million dollars at its disposal,
and additions t6this sum by the
pennies of the poor or the dimes of
the toilers should be purely yolunta-
ry, and not a matter of solicitation
under penalty of the censure ofneigh-
bors.

This has been q bad season for the
employees of circuses. Rarely has
there been O time when more of them
have come to grief. In May. Eliza
beth Davene, a trapeze performer,
died in New York city from the eff
fects of a fall received in one of her
performances. There have been sew
eral railroad accidents to circus
trains, in which performers were kill
ed and MANNED. In Kentucky, two
weeks ago, two men were killed in a
collision, and Louisa Montague, bet
ter known as the $50 900 Beauty"
was severely injured, her face being
badly lacerated; on Monday of last
week, Rosina Richardson, Barnum's
Fat Woman, died, and that same
night, in Tennessee, Kinkade, a
famous circus tumbler, "missed his
tips in turning a ~somersault, broke
his head, and was killed. These are
but a few of the many recent mishaps.
There has also been heavy loss TO
circus proprietors by the death OF
lions, tigers, elephants, and other
animals, which have here and there
fallen victims to the hardships in

Investigations made by the new
Commissioner Of Agriculture into
the tea culture of his predecessor,
Hayes's crony, LIE Due, show that it
was even a greater waste of money
than at first appeared. LIE Due took
it up on the recommendation of one
Jackson, who had raised tea in India,
and he leased $50 acres of plantation
in South Carolina, at q latitude far
too northerly for the purpose. Con
gress put $4,000 into this tea farm
or, at least, appropriated that sum
for the tea business. LIE Due paid
out several thousand dollars in clear
ing the farm, put a $400 iron safe on
it, and made great preparations for
a crop. The agents of Commission
er Loring find that the only way to
save his plants from dead failure is
to remove them further south.

The Washington Star says the

The Washington Star says the
assassin Guiteau has recently been
afflicted with malaria, and, in conse-
quence, quinine has been prescribed
for and taken regularly by him
While he is aware of the nature of
the drug, he is under the impression
that there is in his powder something
else, and once or twice he has been
reluctant to take it. On one occasion,
after receiving the powder he laid it
by, saying he would take it when he
got ready. 1t was thought by some
that he intended to keep it until
another dose was given him, in the
hope that by doubling the dose he
might put an end to his existence, or,
at least, make himself so sick as to
excite sympathy. Those who have
the care of him scout at the idea of
Guiteau's taking his life by his own
hands, not believing that he has the
physical courage to attempt it. He
is such a coward, they say, that it is
doubtful even if the Jail doors we're
opened, and he had the privilege of
walking out. whether he would ven
ture in the rotunda of the Jail with
out protection; and he would not
leave the building alone if he had the
least idea that be would be recogniz-
ed.
