ELECTION RESULTS.

The political philosophers have
found sufficient material in the late
Congressional election for specula.
ton upon the remarkable changes
which have taken place. Colorado,
always counted as certain Repub-
lican State, sends ~ Democrat. The
Democratic nomination in the First
Connecticut district, was given to a
young man unknown to fame. The
nominee began by notifying the
convention that he would not run
unless they struck out the free
trade plank in their platform. They
acquiesced and r.. j. Vance, the
Democratic nominee, was elected.
The Illinoise delegation from 10 to
10 revolutionizes to the extent Of
I6 Democrats and IA Republicans.
Ward, a Democrat who voted
against Morrison, was defeated by
Mason, a Republican, while Nor.
rison was also defeated by Baker, a
Republican. indiana joins in the
surprise by increasing her Republi
can representation to z instead of A,
out of 10. Iowa reduces her Dem
ocratic representation from 3 to ..
Kentucky, the seat Of Bourbon
ism, finds the Republicans creeping
up from one to three. The up
heaval in Kentucky eliminated in
the marvellous shaking up in Car
isles district. In Massachusetts,,
the Democrats carry 4 instead OF
districts ont Of IL. Michigan re-
turns nearer to her old mornings,
with 6 instead of 4 Democrats out OF
III.
The most remarkable revolution in
the Republican column took place in
Minnesota. From a solid Republi-
can delegation OF 8, White, Strait
and Gilfllan are land low by Demo.
Gratis, giving the Democrats q
majority of the delegation. Nebrska
sends McShane, the first election of
o Democrat to Congress in the
history Of the State. New Hamp.
shire gives tie between her two
Representatives. New Jersey in
creased the Republicans to 8 out OF
z. New York now tie at II to II,
gives the Republicans 10 and
Democrats 10. North Carolina also
increases her representation from
one to three Republicans and one
Labor member. The change in Ohio
was from 10 Republicans 10 -, Q
gain of ). Pennsylvania remains :
Democrats to 20 Republicans. In
Tennessee the Republicans lose
Zachary Taylor; Neal, Democrat,
is returned. The greatest revolution
on the Democratic side is in Virgin
ia. From s members the Democrats
fall to 3, and the Republicans from
increase to 7. In Colorado, Symes,
Republican, has 700 majority.

THOUGHTS.
BY VIM. W. LONG.

The winds of night are moaning
Like spirits of unrest,
Amid the solemn, lonely pines,
And DER the dark earths' breast.
No great poem was ever composed
and joined together in a parlor, and
never will be. The atmosphere does
not suit it,

POETRY.
A FADED FLOWER.

Only faded flower yet thick and fast,
What troops of tender memories throng
the breast,
In gazing on these petals as they rest
In this old volume where she placed
them last!
o cruel Time austere iconoclast
Why of our treasures must thou take
the best,
Till beggard quite. forlorn and dispo-
sessessed,
Our breaking hearts yearn for the van
ished past?
She too has faded like summer rose
Passed like perfume from the ways
of men
While I, a Shade, still linger on the way,
5 Time-worn, lone, disconsolate and
gray,
Yet fadeth not the love that brighter
grows,
Till it shall bring me to her arms again

SCHOOL INTERESTS NO 3.

There are two important things,
among others, that give character
to community, town or city. These
are good schools managed by intel
ligent and liberal minded school Of
ficers, and taught by competent and
live teachers, and a fair number OF
churches supplied with able, active
and evangelical ministers. Intelli.
gent and moral people, looking out
for a permanent location, always in
quire in regard to these two requisi-
ties.
Martinsburg, fortunately, with
other desirable advantages, enjoys
fair share of both these requisites.
The ministry has for years been
characterized by talent, piety and
efficiency and the public schools,
since their establishment soon after
the war, have steadily improved I'M
der able and efficient teachers, and
have now reputation equal to any
in the State. That they are not
perfect, and that there is still room
for improvement in some things
must be admitted. 1t will be my
purpose in the further discussion OF
this subject to touch upon that
which / conceive to be essential to
place them still higher in the scale
of ascendency by appropriate
measures in that direction. Some
of the suggestions l proposs to
make may be regarded as mere
theories, but from the standpoint OF
continued observation and long
experience | regard them as legiti-
mate aud practical. What hints
and suggestions will appear in any
of my future contributions are
prompted by an honest and sincere
desire on my part to benefit an In
stitutlon in which / have done my
share of work during nearly half a
century, nineteen years of which
been devoted to the schools of
Martinsburg. ! commenced the
work at the early age OF 16 years, a
career in that profession equaled by
few in its duration.
Martinsburg has four Ward
schools 1.-THE first and third Wards
having together but one school,) a
colored and a Grammar, or more
promperly High School, besides a
Catholic ParochIal School, Semi
nary for young ladies, and several
other small private schools. There
are, therefore, enough schools to
absorb all the youth entitled to
enjoy their advantages. And yet
there are considerable number oil
children not attending any school al
all, but whose school is mainly o1
the streets or in the country, not
unfrequently committing serious
depredations.
The Ward schools have each four
teachers--a principal and three
assistants, and ale SO graded that
the courses embrace SIX years.
Upon proper qualifications they are
then promoted to the High School
The standard Of the entire course
has gradually been raised from
gear to year in all public schools oil
the city, so that at present they
compare favorable with any in the
land, for it has always been my aim
aud ambition to keep the schools
abreast OF the times.
AS a class the teachers stand fair
in scholarship, and second to nc
other corps of teachers in energy
and tact, and their ready co-opera
ton at all times in carrying out al
orders emanati.ig from me whilt
Superintendent. the harmony ant
good feeling Of this corps of teach
ers is perhaps unexampled. Ny
intercourse with them has beer
most pleasant and still love t.
