The campaign just closed has been one
Of unprecedented bitterness on both sides.
The republican candidate and the repub-
lican party have been assailed with ma
lignant ferocity by open enemies and by
pretended republicans who have proved
themselves false to their principles and
traitors to their country. Carried away
by their hatred of Mr.. Blaine, they Joined
the democracy, and fairly out-Heroded
Herod in the brutality of their assaults
upon the object of their personal ami
mostly.
The democrats and their sham republi-
can allies waged mcrciless war of
defamation against Mr.. Blaine. They
tried to crush him to oarth under q
mountain Of infamous vilificstion and
atrocious lies, started to break down his
character. No candidate was ever sub
jected to such terrific fire from the mud
batteries of an INSCRIPTIONS and utterly
CONSCIOUSNESS foe. Satan and his imps
could not have shown greater industry,
ingenuity, and shameless audacity in tho
origination and circulation of basoless
ISLANDERS than the bureau of defamation
has displayed in its inexcusable aud cruel
war on Mr. Blaine.
Those persons who allowed their per-
sonal prejudices to run away with their
patriotism and their loyalty to the party
that saved the nation aud has dictated tho
policy of the government during the
period of its greatest prosperity must feel
proud of tho record they have made
during tho past four months. They
played into the hands Of the enemy they
had been fighting for quarter Of cen-
tury. For the qualification Of grudge
against man who had been honored by
his party convention with nomination
for president they strove to destroy tho
party of good government and turn the
country over to the tender mercies OF the
wolves who sought to destroy it, and who
have fought with desperation every effort
made to build up and strengthen the re.
public. They should turn with shame
from their own reelection and hate them
selves. They should visit upon them
selves the detestation that will be be-
slowed upon them by their old friends
and by their pretended new friends
They viii be Stunned and distrusted by
their fellow-men. Having proved un-
faithful to their principles, they will
share the unhappy lot that befalls traitors
and ingrates. .-..-..,

"You are not looking we'll tonight, my

The Republican Party triumphant.

Returns at this writing arc far from
complete, but we have no doubt whatever
Of tho election of Blaine and Logan.
Early reports woro unfavorable, but as
the count proceeds tho prospects for a
sweeping republican victory grow
brighter. New York, which appeared to
have been lost will in all probability
give the republican ticket a plurality of
between 5000 and $4,000, and
that alone will elect republican
president, coneeding the democrats New
Jersey, Connecticut California, Nevada
and Indiana, with their thirty-nine cleo.
toral votes. The republicans are likely
to carry any or all Of these states, how.
ever, and Virginia and West Virginia as
we'll, and thus make the victory sweep
ing. We await later returns with serene
confidence that they will confirm the es-
Inmates based on the vote already counted.
If our latest advices from Richmond are
correct, Virginia has been wrested from
the solid south. Indications arc that the
ate has been carried by tho republicans.

A STRONG swoRpFIsH. g.
lie Drives His Blade Through Nine
Inches OF Copper and Wood.
New Orleans Tines Democrat.

NeD Orleans Tines Democrat
A very remarkable event has occurred
in the recent experience of the three
masted schooner Themis. of Boston, COM
manded by Capt. N. E. Kendrick, and
now lying in Ship island harbor. The
Themis sailed from Mobile on Aug. A
with o cargo of lumber for Tampico. She
was a tight vessel, taking in very little
water and requiring but little use of tho
pumps. On the fifth day out from Mobile
Capt.Kendrick himselftried the pump and
found no water-that is mono above tho
3 inches play allowed between the lower
end Of the pump and the bottom of the
hold. An hour or two afterward the
mato happened to try il, and, to the great
astonishment of the captain, reported 20
inches of water. The water was pumped
out, but was soon found running in again
at the rate of 12 inches an hour. This
was near the bottom, and of course the
rate of leaking would diminish as the
elevation of the surface of tho water and
the extent of its cross-section would in
crease. 1t was enough, nevertheless, to
create alarm, and to keep the crew con-
tinually employed at the pumps during the
passages to Tampico-all efforts in the
mean time TO locate the leak proving un-
while discharging the cargo, these efforts
were redoubled. 1t was fully ascertained
that the leak was not near the water
line-as had been hoped-but at the bot
tom of tho vessel. Finally the mate,
cropping and exploring about the bottom,
reported that he had found a horn stick
ing in the coiling or inner lining of the
timbers, which he could not remove He
was told to break 1T Oh, and ut length
brought up about two inches Of what the
captain at once recognized as the end of
the blade Of a sword fish.
On further examination it was found
that the blade had penetrated, in the first
place, the copper sheathing of tho
schooner; then the outer timbers of the
hull, A inches in thickness; next q vacant
space of 8 inches between the outer and
inner timbers, or ceiling" and lastly,
AZ inches more of solid wood constituting
the ceiling, altogether nearly 8 inches of
plank and copper, with IL inches of va
cant space, including the inches Of the
end broken off. How much of tho
sword remained outside has not yet
been ascertained. The blow was struck
from below, in direction nearly
vertical, and some idea of the amaz-
ing force may be found from tho figures
above given. The point Of impact was
little forward of the mizzenmast, about
three feet from the keel, on the starboard
side. BY tearing away part of the cell
ing, Capt. Kendrick was enabled partially
to stop the leak, and to bring his vessel
first to Apalachicola and thence back to
Ship island, whore he was sent for quar-
antine, although he had clean bill of
health. This is no doubt the most OK
traordinary case ofpiscatorisl swordsman-
ship on record. There is no room for
question of its entire truthfulness. The
fragment of the sword is still sticking in
the bottom of the schooner. and will be
available for examination when she comes
to the dock for repairs.

The Only Place to Get News.

The election returns that were dis
played upon the transparency in front of
the office of The NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN last night gave to the crowd that
thronged the streets the only reliable
news they were able to get. The news
was dispensed as it came, whether favor
able TO republicans or democrats, and o
patient mass of humanity, numbering
from 5000 to 1900, congregated about tho
corner of Tenth and ID streets and Penn
sylvania avenue until late hour, absorb.
ing intelligence as it was bulletjned with
distinguished impartiality. The great
crowd was good naturcd and noisy, filling
the air with cheers for the rival
candidates. 1t gives US pleasure to
make everybody feel good, though on the
question Of political information we vio--
late no confidence in saying that we enjoy
it best when it comes our way. In this
connection we might say that the few
misguided individuals who came down
town to read the returns that were to have
been displayed from the democratic head
quarters, across the street from The Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN building, turned in
disgust from tho tallow-dip exhibition
furnished by their own committee to tho
generous display provided by this estab.
lishment. Encouraged by the kindly
greeting accorded us last evening we shall
continue to do good right along.

London Letter 10 San Francisco Chronicle.
As might be expected the aristocracy
yields fine harvest of cranks. Just at
present Lord Savernake is exciting o
good deal of attention by reason of his
extravagances and his eccentricities.
This youth has only just come of age, aud
is the grandson and heir of the wealthy
Marquis Of Aylesbury. Lord Savernake
drives about the west end of London to
costermonger's barrow drawn by fast
trotting donkey. The barrow is highly
ornamented with brasswork, and tho
donkey carries very handsome set of
harness. His lordship's get-up, as saw
him driving down Church street and
Marylebone the other day was simply
alarming. He wore long, light coat
buttoned tightly down the front, and
adorned Il am moderate In my computa-
tion) by at least hundred pearl
buttons. His trousers, which were as
tight as they could possibly be made down
to the ankles, terminated in miniature
balloons, well-nigh hiding tho patent
leather boots, which were also studded all
over with pearl buttons. These wonder
full trousers bore triple dark stripes on a
fawn-colored ground, and on the bottoms
the ''perlies" again figured prominently.
A few evenings ago | had occasion to
visit the Marylebone theater, one of the
minor low-priced houses, and there l
again encountered his lordship. He was
drinking at the refrcshment bar, and this
time was accompanied by an individual
who, in all save features, was an actual
double of the nobleman. On inquiry
found this young man was his groom.
There is no beastly pride about Lord
Savernake," said my informa It. "What
T.. 4 4. p
is none too good for his servant" This
young lord is strange mixture of oddity
and shrewdness, as he has large number
of hanson cabs running on the London
streets, which, l understand, are paying
him remarkably well.
