A radical meeting was held in Richmond to

come to this city for the purpose of soliciting

The Late Territorial Election la Colo
rado. From the Denver Neivt, Oct. 15.
The official abstract of election returns for
1807 shows a large increase of the popular vote
throughout the Territory, a large majority lor
the Republican party in both branches ot tbe
Legislature, as well as on the popular vote. The
Council will stand as follows: 8 Republicans,
4 Democrats, and 1 Independent Republican.
The House will stand: 15 Republican?, 9 Demo
crats, and 2 Independent Republicans. The total
popular vote is 9340, against G99G last year, when
a delegate to Congress was elected. An analysis
of this vote shows tbe following result on Coun
cllmen: Republican. 4458; Democratic, 4046;
Independent Republican, 407; scattering, 381.
The straight Republican majority over tbe
Democrats is 412, and tbe combined vote of
straight and Independent Republicans gives a
majority ot 876 over the Democracy, an increase
of 708 over last year, when Chilcott's majority
over Hunt was only 108.
These facts are exceedingly gratifying, and
demonstrate that Colorado is now, as always,
thoroughly Republican. The issue of the last
election turned almost entirely on national
politics, and the exhibit as made in these offi
cial returns is all that is needed to place Colo
rado on the side of Conerress and freedom. An
other fact to be noticed is the population which
this vote shows. The usual estimate is from
five to seven persons for one voter. ' This would
give us a population of from 46,745 to 64,443. If
the latter is saia to De too nign, it is to c-e re
membered that in many of our distant precincts
not over one-halt of the legal voters go to the
noils, on account ot tne ereel uistance to tnem.
This tact onght to enable us to claim the largest
estimate of seven persons to a voter, which
should place our population at not iar from
66,UUU.
SWITZERLAND.
Resignation of the President.
All the Swiss and several of tbe French papers
have occupied themselves for some days past
with the resignation, so totally unexpected, of
M. r ornerod. President ot the Swiss Confodera
tion for tbe present year. He gives up that
high post to be member of the Board of Direc
tors ot a bank which has just been authorized
by the Council of State of Geneva, and the prin
cipal branch of which is to be in Paris. It is
not long since it was tbe practice for industrial
societies to seek out a ouke, a marquis, a count,
or even a baron, to liirure ou their boards: but
thlB teems to be getting out ot fashion; and, In
truth, it bua lost a food deal ot its elfcct. aud
they now address themselves to high function
aries. The same occurred to M. Staempfil, also Presi
dent of the 8wiss Confederation, who lost his
political vocation uiree years back. M. Staemplll,
however, did not vacate the Presidential chair
until the expiration ot nts year of olhce, and
then only declined being re elected; whereas M.
Forncrod has not had the patience to wait till
tbe 1st of January, 1868, when his functions
legally terminate. He has sought, it Is true, to
explain and justify tbe step he has taken In a
published letter, bat it seems without success
among his countrymen, who consider that his
piemature retirement from the Presidency is a
marked slight on the Federal Assembly, and
indeed towards all Switzerland.

That Lovely Babe.
The Journal du Loire et-Oaronne relates that
two ladies leading a little sucking pig by a string
entered tbe Agen Railway station three days
back, but before taking their tickets asked
whether they would be allowed to carry their
pet into the carriage with them. This was re
fused, and tbe two intended travellers went
away; some time after they returned, one of
them carrying what appeared to be a baby, with
its lace carefully covered over. They took their
tickets and were about to get into the train,
when the station-master, who had not forgotten
their previous request, advanced, and remark
ing, "Oh, what a beautiful child!" passed his
hand over its head. A grunt of satisfaction was
the reply to his caress. The ladles, finding that
their scbeme was discovered, preferred to
abandon their journey rather than travel with
out their strange companion.
Disadvantage of One-Line Paragraphs.
The Bonton Transcript says: "The evils of
one-line newspaper paragraphing are growiug
more obvious every day, as this condensed style
of giving news is increasing. There seem to be
mauy patagraphists engaged in 'boiling down'
the news of the day, who pay little or ho atten
tion to the manner in which statements f facts'
are qualified in the original article. For in
stance, a contemporary publishes a rumor that
evidences have been discovered leading to the
belief that Pascal, not Newton, discovered the
principle of the attraction of gravitation. Mr.
Paragraphist announces the startling fact thus:
'Pascal discovered the attraction of gravita
tion.' Such a system of reckless disregard of
fact and truth is highly reprehensible, and indi
cates that the perpetrators of the offense should
extend not only their paragraphs, but enlarge
their powers of analysis."
A Novel Courtship and What Came of It.
A servant girl in London recently carried on
a flirtation with a charity boy who was accus
tomed to clean tho windows at the next home.
Their method of courtship was rather singular;
the girl mounted to the roof of tbe back part of
the house, and whilst sitting there conversed
with the lad, who stood at a window opposite.
One morning she mounted to tbe roof, and
whilst stepping on aBkjllfflit the glass and
framework broke and she fell through. Her
iBB were cut, and she was so seriously injured
that bhe died In about two hours.

In tlie metier of Richard Lynch, arremed and com
muted upon a charge of II real voting-, the allegation
being that be waa a New Yorker, and voted In the
HI x in Ward of tbie city, the District Attorney called
the attention of the Court by staling that Immedi
ately after hie arreet he ened out a writ ot habeas
coriiue, and then entered ball to appear at thl term
oi the Coin t generally: not to appear at tbe bearing of
tlilf writ, but generally. and then walked off to New
York; and then aaked that the writ be dismissed, be
cause, by entering hall and going out of their Jurisdic
tion, Lynch bad waived lila right to the habeas
corpus
Mr. Brooke, representing I.yncb, stated that the
writ In tbe case was made returnable on Saturday
last, and when called np then waa continued until to
day. Imin) dia'ely alter tbe continuance the District
Attorney Slot np a bill to tbe Grand Jury agnlnvt
J.yn b, and had ft found, and the (nan whs brought to
Court lor trial. Then a motion waa made by the de
fendantto quanb the bill as Improperly found, while a
writ of habeas corpus In the case waa pending, and
the argument of the motion wee deferred. In tbe
meantime tbe defendant entered ball for bis appear
ance. This ball did not In the leMt affect his right, for he
fore a hearing could be bad on tbe writ of habeas
corpus It would have to be decided whether or not
this bill waa properly found: and after that tbe writ
would come under the consideration of tbe Court.
But the matter should be heard properly, and the
motion to quash bad precedence ol tbe writ of j bubeae
corpus.
1 lie Judge said he would endeavor to administer the
law firmly and Impartially, but he would notitr ilu
the law one way or tbe other, and. therefore, would
not hear tbe cane until tbe writ was preduced.
Tbe writ could not tbeu be found, but when It was
afiei wards obtained and offered to tbe court another
case was under consideration and this one couse
quently waa not concluded.
In the case of tbe commonwealth tx rei. George A.
Ksyanaugli, tbe writ waa dinmlnsed,
Tbe case of the Commonwealth e.r rrl. Oottl'eb
(tcherer, who waa arrested and commuted on tbe
evening preceding tbe election, waa continued.
The cane of tbe Commonwealth ex rrl, Mary Jnnee
and Rachel Jonea vs. Tbe Keeper of tbe County
Prison waa called. It will be remembered that In this
case the rflutora were to answer the charge of tbe
murder ot tbe little girl Anna B. Kleharua.
It waa alleged that tbe child had In tome way
offended tbe relators and Incurred their III will, and
tbey out of revenge threw a poisoned peach to her,
which abeate. and which earned ber death.
Tbe evidence or tbe father and mother showed that
the relators bad from time to time thrown to tbe
cbild cakes, apples, and other eatables, wblcb abe
would take up and eat: that on the Saturday preceding
tbe death the child bad made aome remark of re
proach to one of tbe relators, and that one aaid, "I'll
lix you, and your mother loo Boon afterwards;" on
tbe following alternoon, wblcb waa Sunday, the child
waa seen eating the half ot a peach, wblcb appeared
to have been smoothly cot, and was covered with a
wblte powder or flour; tbe motber took the peach
away from the child, but not until she bad eaten
part of It, and death ensued at 10 o'clock that nl ht.
Mr, Dwlght, representing the Commonwealth,
stated to the Oouit thai be could produce a chemist
who bad made a post mortem examination npon the
body, and prove tbat there was strychnine In the
child's stomach; but he coo Id not produce further evi
dence to connect tbe relators with that poison. Tbe
Commonwealth could not show tbat (liber of tbe
relators tbrew that peach to tbe child, or tbat tbe
peach waa poisoned; be did not see that they bad
been connected with thedeatb, and, were the case to
go before Ibe petit Joiy, be could not cousclentloiuly
press for a conviction on this evidence.
Messrs. L, O Cae8ldy and J. Rich Grler who repre
sented tbe relators, .ben pressed for their discharge
on tbe Insufficiency of the Commonwealth's case,
stating that tbey had already been too long cause
lessly confined upon this most Infamooa charge.
The Judge said that this evidence waa not enough
to Justify the holding of the relators; and it being all
tbat could be offered against tbem, be would order
their discharge.

When Louis Napoleon found it necessary
to provide for hia "companion," Mrs. Howard,
the lady in question, as Mr. John Uaj would
say, demanded as part of her settlement the
title of Countess. The Emperor sent an agent
to Italy, to purchase a small State with a title
attached, and gave to him a letter of introduc
tion to Cavour. The Italian Minister, sup
posing the agent's mission related to great in
ternational questions, had the go-between
dined and wined, in sumptuous apartments,
and treated with distinguished consideration.
Finally, Cavour sent for the agent and by
diplomacy extracted the secret of the mission.
It is unnecessary to paint the wrath of the
great Italian when the thing came out.

Washington, Oct. 26. Major-General Thomas
report to General Grant on tbe subject of the
municipal election, at Sashville, a month or so
ago, will be published on Monday morning. It
comprises the correspondence between these
officers. In reply to inquiries respecting his
duty, General Grant explicitly Informed Major
General Thomas that tbe latter's duty was to
prevent collisions. If Governor Brownlow
should Issue his proclamation declaring insur
rection or Invasion to exist, too formidable to
be put down by the force at bis own command
and call upon the United States forces to aid
aid him, then aid would be given.
General Thamai la thaft Informed IKttl hia
mission was to preserve the peace, and not to
take sides in political differences until called
out in accordance with the law. lie was to
prevent mobs from aiding either parly, and, If
called upon legally to interfere, his duty was
plain. The conclusion of the report is In General
Thomas' own language: "The election is over.
A'l quiet."

Baltimore, Oct 26. Judge Giles, in the
United States District Court, this mornine de
livered a long and very able opinion in the case
of a libel against the ship Maggie Hammond.
The Judge decided the eontract to ship iron
from a port in England to Montreal, Canada,
had been palpably broken by the owners of the
vessel, In consequence of the delay In the de
livery of Iron of nearly four mouths, owing to
the vessel getting damaged, but It was tbe duty
of the contractors to have employed another
veBtel, or other means, when they tound their
own ship could not perform hor voyage home.
According to maritime law, there was evident ne
glect and palpable violation of contract, and as
thereby tbree hundred tons had declined ma
terially iu value owing to the delay of its de
livery, he would award the difference of price,
which amounted to some seven thousand dol
lars, against the ship Maggi) Hammond and
her owners. Many very nice and novel points
were covered by this decision.

The New York Tribune thia morning says:
"Money is 7 per cent, on sail, and loans at less
are rare. The difficulty in selling commercial
paper continues, and names not first-class can
only be uted at ruinous rates. Best names pass
at 810 per cent. The trade of the country Is
not In a satisfactory condition, nor are there
tDj indications of returuing confidence. Much
of the present disturbance m commercial affairs
proceeds from political cannot, and until that
source of trouble is removed no permanent im
provement can be looked for."
The Chicago Republican of Wednesday says:
"Money continues very close and firm at 10
ter cent, per annum. The extreme closeness of
lie market, and the difficulty that a good many
operators in produce and merchandise meet
with in obtaining loans is havlDg its effect on
values. The prospect is by no means favorable
that the market will relax any of its present
features for some weeks to come. But a little
more than a month of lake navigation remains.
and to move the grain crop to the seaboard a
large volume of currency will be required. The
prevailing tone of the money market at points
East is more than usually stringent, and the
bankers are very careful In their selections of -paper
presented for discount, and refuse all that
is not strictly first-class. Speculative paper
does not meet with any favor, as the banks can
find emDlovment for all tho means at tnetr com
mand in legitimate business enterprises."
The Cincinnati Commercial of Wednesday
says:
"'Exchange Is in barely sufficient supply to
cover the wants of the market, and is, conse
quently, quite firm at par baying, l-20c pre
mium selling, for large bill, f he money mar-
ket was In a slightly easier condition to-day,
partly because of a freer feeling on the part of
bank managers, and partly because tbe move
ments of the currency were for tbe day a little
more comfortable. It Is noticed that there Is
some falling off in the offerings of the best
quality of paper, but that there is an abundance
ot tbat which does not seem to have purely
legitimate creation. Outside rates for paper are
in some cases severely high, governed rather by
the necessities of the borrower than by any
competition among lenders."
