The Election in the State.

We give below summary of the eiec-
ton held in the various counties last
Thursday. Very few Of the counties made
clean sweeps. Where the majority of the
county officers elected were Coalitionists
we have designated the county as Coali-
zionist, and the same with the Democrats.
Thus Augusta is put down as Democratic,
although two of her Supervisors are Coal
itionists, and Rockingham, which elected
one Democratic Supervisor, is put down as
Coalition. In some of the counties, as in
Highland, Warren, Rappahannock, &c.,
no question whatever of party was raised,
the personal popularity Of the candidates
determining the result. The returns up
on which this summary is based, are
gathered as far as possible from the local
press, and where there are no county pa
pers, reliance had to be placed on cores
pondents, always very uncertain authority
in election times.
The following summary is, we believe.
as near correct as can be ascertained at this
limo

WASHINGTON, April 22.- Representative
Pettlbope, of Tennessee, was In stnte OF mind
when ho visited the White House to-day, and
was in still worse humor when he left It, 1t
seems that one of his constituents was con-
vlcted and sent to the penltentary for stenl.
ing postal funds. After petition for n pardon
had been prepared his father, who is a minis
ter of the Gospel, mortgaged his own property
for $500 and made restitution of the money
stolen; an of1lcer of the postoffice Department
having held out hopes that after such restitu-
ton n pardon for his son could be easily OBJ.
tained. The Attorney-General has, however,
declined TO recommend the granting OF the
pardon.
Mr.. Pettibone Is very wroth over what he
styles the ambiguous terms of the Attorney
Generals Endorsement upon the papers. ~

$500 shall be restored TO the cDnvlcts father.
"Tbls great Government cannot afford to keep
that money and take the home away from
that old preacher and his mOtherless daugh
ters. II is an outrage"
Ae Mr.. Pettibone proceeded he grew moro

was very evident that his anger had com

IT is time that the Department of State
walked up to the fact that England pur-
poses to use this country, practically, as a
part of her own dominions. One of her
schemes is to ship the discontented popula-
tion of ireland to this country, forcing
upon them choice between emigration
and the workhouse. The dispatches this
morning tell us that IL, 900 persons in Gal
way have applied for assistance to come to
America. We are glad to receive all who
come to this country of their own free will
to make it their permanent home. But we
deny England the right to force the Irish
people from their native soil and drive
them to this country in order tina. she may
be relieved Of the Irish question.
ireland is conquered country
which has never acquiesced in the
victory of her foes, nor been reconciled to
their rule. 1t is said of the Turks that
they have been campel in Europe for four
centuries. So, too, the English have been
camped in Ireland for seven centuries.
They are more aliens to Ireland than the
Turks are to Europe. The English idea
now is to drive the Irish from their native
land and fill the country with Englishmen; !;
and to do it they propose to use this coun-
try. 1t remains to be seen if there is nerve
enough and patriotism enough and wisdom
enough in'this Administration to eheckmate
this cold -blooded scheme.
Another thing that the dispatches tell us
is this:
In the House OF Commons Mr.. Bourke, con-
serVative, gave notice that ho would question
the Government as TO whether any steps had
been taken by the authorities al Washington
relative to the conspiracles against England
aleged 10 nave beon Organized In America by
members OF the Irish dynamite party.
The cool insolence of this question is un-
paralleled. No such steps have been taken
and none win be taken, unless our Depart
ment of State is to become mere tender TO
English outrages and migovernment. The
impudence of the question is palpable when
we recolIect that II proceeds from member
Of the Parliament of that country which
gave asylum and protection to Joseph MAJ

The show at this popular resort Is n decided
change from what we have seen for some time.
AS the curtain went up last night 1t remtndod
one of the fairy tales we read In our childhood
days. There was the bevy OF beauties grace
fully attlred In snow white dresses, and as
each one OF them sang their respective song 1t
was encored TO tho echo. II would be super
fluous for us to mention any one whero all are
so good. The American Four, the mouarchs
of all high.kickers; the four principal mlrth-
provoking disciples of Momus, who have
pleased, amused and astOnished everybody In
every section of the country where they have
Appeared. The American Four present new
songs, dances and lndescrlbablo follles. Tho
funniest team I'm the world. Jake Bndd,
Washington's premier favorlte, gave one OF
his inimitable absurditles, to the delight of
all present. Tho show closes with very fancy

THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY Mormon
converts landed in New York yesterday.
One hundred and three Of them are Scandi-
navians, the rest being Englishmen. They
are described as being we'll dressed, and
their baggage indicated that they are better
off in worldly goods than emigrants usually
are. The missionary in charge said that
Mormon doctrines were better received and
more converts made among Protestants
than among Catholics. In Ireland he
found a liberal spirit toward Mormon
ism in the north, which is Presbyterian,
but in the sonth and west, which are
Catholic, it was dangerous to preach the
faith of the Latter Day Saints, He said
there are 5000 Mormons in England too
poor to emigrate. The Mormon Church
has 1Co Elders in England and 25O in Eu-
rope altogether. Surely the rise aud pro-
gress of Mormonism is the most remark
able religious phenomenon of the 10th
Century

A CORRESPONDENT of a morning

per, writing from New Orleans, saysl;
Some people in the North have old fogy no.
tIons about having stores open on Sunday,
and object to cock-lghtlng and running the
aters on the Sabbath. If New Orleans laughs
at these notions, all right. But business of
the better sort does not thrive under these
conditions.
We advise this correspondent to go to
Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas
City and see what "some people in the
North think about the things he men
tions. II occurs to us that business of the
better sort" thrives in these cities. We
fear that the correspondents eyes are
blinded by sectional prejudice, which even
some people in the North" are afflicted
with.

The EreniHg Ners commenting on the
doctrine of protection says: "An excellent
illustration of the application of this stu
pidity is given in the case of the American
Timed Plate Association, which proposes to
shut out the timed plate we now import
from Great Britain at a cost of 81 millions
and make it ourselves at cost of Al millions,
which would be clear loss to the wealth of
this country of y millions" Let us see if
this proposition is true. If we purchase
from England 2l millions of dollars worth of
timed plate, all this country has left is the
plate, for which we have sent out of the
country 81 millions of gold, or its equivalent.
If we manufacture it at home, even at cost
of fl millions, the people of the country not
only have the plate but they have kept at
home the 81 millions OF money which in
the former case they would have sent to
England, 50 that by manufacturing the goods
at home there would be at the close of the
transaction, just 81 millions more money in
the country than if We purchased the same
goods of Great Britain. AS the wealth of
the nation consists in the aggregate wealth
of its individual citizens, it is not exactly
clear where the stupidity comes in.
