The election returns up to Friday
night are not indicative OF that result
the Union men of Madison county had
expected to hear after the gratifying
victory we won in this county. There
is, we confess with regret, but little
prospect now of our being able to over
come the 700 that Cavanaugh is ahead
up to this writing. Probably Missoula,
Beaverhead, Choteau and jefferson will
give slight Union majorities in addition
to that of Madison. The boasted 2,10O
of the Democracy will be reduced to be
low thousand in this Territory, and
that is one grand result of the cam
paign. Another is that the Union party
has now thorough organization, and
half the counties are Enthusiastically
Union, although by less majorities than
the others go Democratic. The vote o.
Madison county is in the vicinity Of
1000; that of Edgerton 5000. The

licans stand precisely in the same posi-
ton. The whole tendency of the loyal
people is to conservatism. They are
willing TO stand just where they have
reached as they were at the close OF the
war; but if the insane, reckless encroach-
ments of that antagonistic element head
ed by Andrew Johnson, against the prin-
ciples established by the highest arbiter
of xll governments, compels them to
resistance their own safety demands that
they should drive back that faction and
leaves the ground open for firm step
farther on. The election of Grant will
have pacific effect upon the country.
The loyal will feel assured the disloyal
will see the uselessness of resistance,
and the vexed questions of the day will
disappear like magic. This is, we be-
lieye, the popular feeling, and no machi-
nations of Miles O'Reilly or the Dem
ocratic party can drive or entice them
from their purpose-the nomination and
election of U. s. Grant.

AN INCIDENT in Gen. Meagher's life,
which may not be generally known,
was referred to in the following passage
in Collector Russells speech at Faneuil
Hall. Boston


When Meagher was arrested he was
followed to prison by the young girl
whom he loved, and who was as true to
him in misfortune as an Irish patriot is
true to his country in the hour of her
agony and despair. And when SEN
tence of death was pronounced, then,
like the lady Of Robert Emmett's choice,
she could no longer live, and she died
of a broken heart. Her fate lends new
pathos to the beautiful lines of which
the band have this evening reminded

In this piping cold weather, good husband
man will not only have his thoughts about
him as to the comfort of the human beings
dependent upon him in the house, but he will
also be merciful to the dumb and needy crea-
lures in his stable. This should be so tight as
to exclude all noticeable currents of cold air.
His horse should be covered with good
blanket adjusted and confined to the body so
as not to fall off, and we are not sure that the
same protection for his milch cows would not
be equally merciful and beneficial. 1t is well
known that animals which are well sheltered
and kept warm, will not eat so much as those
which are Suffered to stand in the cold; anu
the saving of food in the course of single
winter will more than pay for these simple
means of keeping them warm. Some persons
neglect to clean out their stables daily In
cold weather large masses collect, which are
not only offensive and unhealthv-for animals
need sweet air-but they render it difficult for
the animals to lie down upon the frozen ma

This may be prevented by having the apart

Ihls question Is beginning 10 attract

gard to the future he said "if money mat

This is significant declaration, and

ed at no distant day. The State Auditor
Of Ohio is understood to agree with Mr..
WADE upon this question.


Several influential Republican journals
in different parts Of the country are advo-
eating this view. Among these journals,
we may name the Chicago Tribune, Pro
vidence Journal, and the New York
Times. Every one must be convinced
that country situated as ours now is in
its financial condition, with q heavy burden
in the shape Of q tremendous public debt
cannot quietly rest under the excessive
taxation which has to be resorted to to NEE
the accruing interest upon the nationa
debt, and to provide ways and means fol
the current expenditures Of the Govern
ment, and long leave out Of the account
thousands Of millions of taxable wealth
The people who meet the tax collector
everywhere, demanding revenue from every
description Of property, save those bonds,
will not long rest quietly and consent to
this enormous taxation while the million
aire reposes in ease and placidly receives
his interest upon his gold-bearing or cur
rency paying bonds.


Whatever excuse might have been for
this exemption during the war, when the
Government was in pressing need Of
money, that time has gone by, and the old
issues should be called in as soon as pos.
sible and replaced by others that may be
taxed by the federal Government.


In our Judgment, the politicians or the
party that oppose this measure of taxing
the Government securities will be left be-
hind. The people will emphatically de-
mand new issues Of stock and equal taxa
ton. Nothing else will do. Nothing else
will save us from repudiation. 1t may be
objected that measure such as we here
propose would violate existing contracts
We do not advocate any such doctrine
The process Of consolidation must be com
menced soon, and this will give the op
portunity to make the new issues taxable
