How WE FEEL.

14OW w y EELs
We can think of no better illus
tration of our feelings over the elec-
ton than that of an anecdote which
was told on Bishop General Polk of
the Confederate army. Gen. Folks
army occupied, and had fortified,
Columbus, KY, on the Mississippi
river. To this point the govern
ment sent a very heavy and a long
cannon, which used long shells.
The Federals approached this point
on the Missouri side of the river
and entrenched themselves just be-
yond the reach of ordinary ordi>
nance, but this new piece was ex-
pected to carry shells and dismay
into their encampment. The day
arrived for its full test, and some
"lamp-posts" as they were called,
were successfully thrown into the
camp of the. enemy, and caused
them to move out rapidly. While
thus testing the cannon it exploded
scattering the gunners in all direc-
tions. Genl Polk was standing a
short distance off, and. one of the
gunners was thrown at his feet. The
sulphurous smoke was so dense
that one could not see his hand
before him. The man atthe feet of
the General, in reaching around,
and feeling able to get up on his
all-fours, and catching hold of the
Generals legs, looked up and quiet
" said, "Aint this help" The
Bishop General looked down, and
with a suggestive smile replied, "It
smells like it."
And that is just about the way
our election of Tuesday smells to
US.

The idea of fourteen or fifteen

simply disgraceful surrender to

Mr.. Pearson.
Our friends in various counties
in this district have treated US with
indifference so far as sending news

R1cHMoND. Va. Nov. Bird, Ii a. m. {
It's confidently asserted this morn
ing that Yost, the Republican candidate
in the 10th District is elected by from
1000 to 1900 majority. The District
elected Democrat in 1884 by 1,187 maj
ority. This makes a total gain in the
State for the Republicans of two Con-
gressmen, with the 1st, 9th and 9th Dis
tricts.in doubt. All three of these we're
carried by the Democrats in 1884. The
probabilities are that the Republicans
carry the 9th District, and may carry the
1st. In the 9Th the vote is very close
and so far no just estimate can be made

victing one of the keepers in a trial which
ended on Saturday. On Sunday morning
at 1:3O o'clock twenty-five pound keg OF
powder mixed with nails was placed on Il
back porch OF Tuft' s residence and exploded,
causing report that awoke the whole
neighborhood. Fortunately no damage
was done further than the breaking OF all
the window panes on that side ofthe house.
Mr.. Tufts and his wife and two children oc'
cupied room directly above where the
powder had been placed, which leads peo-
pie to believe that more harm was contem-
plated than was accomplished. Gov. Mar
tin, who was in the city spending Sunday
with his family, has offered reward oi
$500 for the perpetrators of the outrage.
