The November Elections.

When the Journal went to press last week, the
election returns at hand were very meagre, and tho
result IN the most important States in d ubt To
be sure, it was reported that the Bourbons had
been defeated in Virginia. but that was thought to
| be almost too good news to be true while the
! Democrats claimed to have elected their State
! ticket in New York, the Republicans holding the
| Legislature by small majority on Joint ballot
Exactly the reverse of this proves to be true The
Republicans of New York have elected the whole
OF their State ticket, except Treasurer by an aver
| age of about IL 900 plurality Ira Davenport for
comptroller ian anti Conkling MANI leads with
majority of 1870 Gen. Carr (stalwaru for sccre-
tary of State, has II $50 Judge Russell is elected

engineer by $500, and Judge Finch to the court
of appeals by 200. Maxwell dem. has major
ity of nearly 22000 over Hustled rep for State
treasurer. Hustled was cut for variety of reasons
but mainly because of his connection with the
Plat scandal The Democrats have the Legislature
by small majority, in consequence of the loss of
Republican districts by divisions. As the Legisla
ture elected will not choose United States Sepa-
tors, and will be held in check by the yetoes Of a
Republican Governor, this will be loss that will
be little felt. Mr. Conkling and his friends who
gave the Legisa ture to the Democrats will not be
able to repeat the performance. The election of
Republican mayor in Brooklyn is notable feature
of the contest in New York
The news from Virginia is confirmed and better
than first reports indicated The anti Bourbons
have not only elected their candidate for Governor
but carried the Legislature. which ensures the
election Of United States Senator in sympathy
with the Administration to succeed Johnston Dem

from Bourbon rule and general disintegration of
the solid South is expected to follow

The HenkeI School Bill.

The Wing Of August 18th, in an edi-
torial Sq,si6, boldly makes the statement
that Hon. FL. n. Riddleberger wrote
the $50 called Henkel Bill, J" and that it
was amended by Henkel and Allen, 80
as to issue only three fourths of the
Auditors estimate Of the school taxes
In certificates to the schools.
I do not know from whom the Wing
derived its information, but do know,
and will state emphatically, that Hon.
81. III. Riddleberger never wrote line,
nor did he suggest single word con-
tanned in the Bill, aud what is still
more, he never saw the bill until after
it was printed for the use of the Conn
mittee. would not have taken notice
of any statements made by the Wing
in regard to the efficiency or ineff1ciency
Of the bill, but when it publishes such
an egregious mistake for political pur-
poses, think it but proper that 1t give
the name of its informant. I do not
charge the Wing with publishing mis-.
statement of facts purposely, but un-
hesitatingly charge the Whig's inform
ant with stating what is untrue.
Since the Wing has chosen to open
the subject, I will give you, for publ
cation, next week, q full history Of the
Bill, that your readers may see who
were the friends of the measure.
Yours, &C., D. s. HENKEL.

EsTERN CONNECTIONS OF THE
CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILWAY
General Wickham, second vice presi-
dent of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
way, is just setting out to the Kanawha
Valley with the view of going over,
with the engineers of the company,
the proposed route of connection with
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway and
the Hooking Valley railroad at CALI
polls. We understand that 1t is the
purpose of the company to put large
force at work upon this connection so
as to complete it at the earliest practi-
cable day. It is said that the object of
General Wickham's visit to the Ka.
nawha Valley is to determine whether
the road shall be built from Scarry
down the Kanawha Valley to Gallipolis
or whether it shall be run from some
other point than Searry on the line Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway,
which would give shorter line of new
railroad to be built and also to expedite
the commencement of the work.-Stote.

for the Virginia House of Delegates,
says in his card:

Malone, Cameron, Lewis, and the rab-
BILE that follow them"
Mr.. Curlett is native of Baltimore

To show what an utter disregard fol
truth the correspondents of the Malone
papers have, and how systematically
they misrepresent the plainest facts,
we publish the following telegram sent
to the Wing from Lovingston last Mon
day evening
"Hon. John Paul met Goode here to-
day and utterly crushed him. The
Funders are cast down and the Read
justers are jubilant. Nelson is safe for
the peoples cause. Goode tried to rally
upon the race issue, but our people
would not scare worth scent"
And the Wing, bolstering up its cor
respondents gross Misrepresentation
spreads above in flaming headlines :
"PAUL GETS AWAY WITH GOODE-
THE COUNTY REDEEMED"
Men may sometimes honestly differ
as to which side gets tie advantage in
a political discussion, but there Is no
room for any such difference of opin-
ion abo1iit the discussion between Goode
and Paul at L0vingston; and any man
in his senses who heard that discussion,
and saw the long faces of the Mahone-
ties and wild enthusiasm of the Demo-
Gratis, and then says that the former
were jubilant and the latter cast down,
tells what every man who was there
knows to be q deliberate falsehood.-

BY A. WORDIMANN

Behold the mansion reared by Deedal Jack.
See the malt stored in many plethoric sack
In the proud cirque OF Ivan's bivouac.
Mark how the Rats felonious fangs invade
The golden stores in Johns pavilion laid.
Anon with velvet foot and Tarquin strides.
Subtle Grimalkin to his quarry glides;
Grimalkin grim, that slew the fierce rodent,
Whose tooth insidious Juan's sackcloth rent.
10! now the deep mouthed canine foes as
saulti
That vexed the avenger of the stolen malt.
Stored in the hallowed precincts of that hall
That rose complete at Jacks creative call.
Here stalks the impetuous Cow with crumpled
horn,
Whereon the exacsrbating hound was torn,
Who bayed the feline slaughter beast that slew
The Rat predacious, whose keen fangs ran
through
The textile hbres that involved the grain,
Which lay in Hans inviolate domain.
Here walks forlorn the Damsel crowned with
rue,
Lactiferous spoils from vaccine dugs who drew,
or that corniculate beast whose tortuous horn
Tossed to the clouds, in fierce vindictive scorn.
The marrying hound, whose braggart bark and
stir
Arched the 1.-the spine and reared the indig-
nant fur
OF Puss, that with verminicidal claw
Struck the weird Rat. in whose insatiate NAV
Lay reeking malt that erst in Juan's courts We
saw.
ROBBED in senescent garb that seems in sooth
Too long prey to Chronos' iron tooth;
Behold the man whose amorous lips incline
Full with young Eros osoulativs sign,
To the lorn maiden whose lact-albi hands
Drew albu-lactic wealth from tactical glands
OF that immortal bovine. by whose horn
Distort, to realms ethereal was borne
The beast canicula, vexer Of that sly
Ulysses quadrupedal. who made die
The old mordacious Rat that dared devour
Antecedaneous Ale in Johns domestic bower
Lo! here with hirsute honors DOTTED, succinct
or saponaceous locks, the priest who linked:
In Hymen's golden bands the torn unthrift,
Whose means eXiguous stared from many riff
Even as he kissed the virgin all forlorn,
Who MIXED the COW with implicated horn,
Who in fierce wrath the canine torturer skiet
That dared to vex the insidious muricide
Who let auroral ef11uence through the pelt
OF the sly Rat that robbed the palace Jack hat
built.
Whose shouts arouse the shorn ecclesiast
Who sealed the VOWS of Hymens sacrament,
To him who robed in garments INDECENT,
Exosculates the damsel lachrymose,
The emu1gator of that horned brute morose,
That tossed the dog that worried the cat tina

FISH OR FOWL!-The Readjuster or
gans are trying to make the people be-
lieve that the "Funders," az they call
them, are composed of Democratic Con-
servatives, and Republicans, who favor
the honest payment of the State debt
So they call Wickham q "Funder.
Now, if Daniel is the "Funder" candi-
date for Governor, and Wickham is .
Funder, we ask, would Wickham, hold
ing the principles he is known to hold,
be admitted to fellowship in a Conserva-
tive Convention? OF course not. Yet
the Readjusters, as we know, fellowship
politically with those who sit az mem-
bers In Republican convention one
day, and Readjuster convention the
next. The dodge the Readjusters are
trying to make reminds US of the old
story of the judge whose son had just
been admitted to the bar: "Now John,
il the law is on your side. but the equity
is against you, demand the strict letter
of the law; but if the law is against you
and equity and justice on your side, de-
mand that justice be done your client,
although the heavens fall"
"But father" said John, suppose
equity and law are both against me,
what must I do then ?" "Well, my son
john" said the old Judge, you must
talk round, you must talk round" Just
so, when we pin them up as to whether
they are Conservatives or Republicans,
they "talk roumd" The people of Rock
bridge are too sharp to be guJled by such
tricks as these Lexington Gazette.

When the Mahoneites first passed the
Riddleberger bill, and before General
Malone and his few followers had gone
entirely over to the radical party and
become the political allies of Chandler,
Dawes and the other more pronounced
haters and revilers of Virginia, the New
York Times denounced them as repu-
diators. Having since become good re-
publicans, however, and Joined the en-
emies of the South, the Times has ceas-
ed to look upon their repudiating scheme
with critics eye, condonss the crime
for which it 80 severely censured them,

bound itself to them with hooks of steal

never known to be the father OF any
thing else. Among these articles IL .
Spanish dollar, dated 1887, which the
old servant declared his master gave
him as . gift on certain Chrlstmas
day; also q shaving glass formerly
used by Washington, together With a
bell with which he was accustomed to
call his coaehman, and walking stick
which the General always carried when
engaged In pedestrian exercises around
his estate. Among other antiquated ar
ticles which came from Mount Vernon,
now in Mr.. Nowland's possession, are
several dilapidated old hymn-books
containing revolutionary pseans, . pair
of old fashioned spectasles, which at
one time rested on the nose of the col
ored man who had the honor OF singing
lullabys to the infant Washington, and
an old trunk studded with "tack" let
