Tito Elections The elections last week were pro ductive of democratic thunder all nrouud. The democratic party is still alive, and giving trouble to its old opponents. In Connecticut there was a clean sweep—the democracy elected the governor, and have a large majority iu both branches of the legislature, thus securing a democratic U. S. Seu ator in place of Buckingham, radical. Connecticut covered herself all over with glory, aui\ the radical route is complete. In Dayton, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and other towns, the democrats carried the day. Mr. Orvis Appointed Judge Gov. llartranft, as we intimated ig last week's Reporter, appointed Hou. John H. Orvis Judge of this, 25th, judicial district, aud the appointment wa- confirmed by tie senate ou 10th. Mr. Orvis being the member of the lower house, from this county, sent in his resignation the same day. Ths appointment of Judge Orvis w ill give general satisfaction throughout this judicial district, and a belter and more fitting gentleman could not have heen selected by the governor. As the legislature may adjourn by end of the present month we hardly think it necessary to go to the expense to elect a membe. to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Orvis, yet an election may be order ed, particularly if the legislature should prolong its session. l ire richest man in the World may be C. S. Senator Jones, of Nevada. A Washington correspondent gives cue the following idea of his wealth : He is the owner of a silver mine more productive than any on earth, his part of the profits of which, a -hurt time ago, was $250,000 a month, ut which is now at least doubled bv the discovery of a new vein. He was a Broderick Douglas Democrat, ran for Lieutenant Governor on the Dem ocratic ticket a few years ago, and was defeated, and is bright, keeu, gener ous. and quick-witted. He lives in the house of Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, 1325 K street, aud entertains with great hospitality and munificence, without the slightest ostentation. THE NEW LIEN Bnx.—The fol lowing is the full text of the lien bill, for the better protection of the work ing classes of this State which has passed the Senate, and has passed the >econd reading in the House : A supplement to the act for the better protection of the wages of me chanics, miners, laborers and others, approved the ninth day of April, An no Domini, one thousand eight hun dred and seventy-two. Section 1. Be it enacted, etc., That the proviso to the fourth sectiou of an act entitled "An act for the better protection of the wage* of mechanic*, miners, laborers and others," approv ed on the ninth day of April, Anno Domini, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, and shall not here after be so constructed as to in any manner apply to coal lease, mortgage or mortgages, or to make the same a lien preferred to the lien of the wages of labor mentioned in said act, but thai such claim of wages shall be a lieu preferred thereto. Sec. 2. That the last proviso of the first section of said act, which is as follows: "No such claim shall be a lien upon any real estate unless the same he filed in the Prothonotary's office of the county in which soch real estate is situated, within three months after the same becomes due, and ow ing in the same manner as mechanics' liens are now filed," be, and the same is hereby repealed. Sec. 3. That all acts or parts of act 3 inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed. Accordiug to Prof. Wickersham each scholar attending the soldiers' orphans Schools costs the State six hundred dollars, the whole number of orphans cared for since the Schools were instituted being 7,000, aod the expense for the same was $4,300,000. Rather expensive school teaching, but then it must fx?borne iu mind that it was carried on by radicals, and they have never been known to practise economy in handling the people's money. 'I he senate on 11th inst., suspended its rule which requires appointments by the governor to lie over fsr five days before confirmation and confirm ed the nomination of Hon. John H. Orvis as additional law judge for the I wenty-fifth judicial district by a vote of twenty four to one. Mr. Orvis has resigned his seat in the legislature and received his commission at the bands of tho governor. The action of the senate ia singling out hia nomination for prompt approval is a gratifying tribute to an unyielding political op ponent.—Patriot. We have not yet beard a breath of opposition to Col. Brown as the rad ical caudidate for Lieutenant Gover nor. Such singular unanimity is without a parallel in the politics of this country. Bald Mountain, in North Carolina, only had a head-ache. Are the Tutens for or against Brown for Lieut. Gov. They cau no longer remain neutral, who is not for him is against him.

This action may endanger the Centennial bill which needs only to pass the House, it having gone through all the preliminary stages in Imtli Houses, but the action of democrats may have the effect of making the Centeuuial hill a party measure in which case, there will he enough republican votes in the House to pass it. l ufair apportionment hills have too long been imposed upon the de mocracy, and they are justifiable in the use of any honorable meaus iu their power, to defeat a gerrymander of the state. dkiockatmT victories. CONNECTICUT. A SWKKIMMO VICTORY. New Haven, April 7-—1 a. The election has resulted in a sweep ing Democrmtio victory. Returns give lngersoll a majority of [>,7VH' over Harrison, Republican,) and a plurality of 1,699. Smith, the Pro hibition candidate, received a little over 4,000 votes. The Senate stands 10 Democrats to 5 Republicans, aud the House is heavily Democratic. The election has been made by the people, and a heavy Democratic ma jority iu the General Assembly reu- Jers the choice of a Democratic Cui ted States Senator an easy matter. THE ELECTIONS —DEMOCRATIC CITY TICKET ELECTEI> AT DAYTON. Dayton Ohio, April 6.—The elec tion was quiet. An extraordinary vote was cast especially io the Seventh and Eighth wards, Democratic, which cast 365 votes more than ever before, giving nearly 900 Democratic major ity. But* was elected for Mayor and the Democratic city ticket was elected by fully 200 majority. THE DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT. Cincinnati April 7. —The Demo cratic majority in Cincinnati will be about five thousand in a vote of about twenty-eight thousand. The full vote of the city is about thirty-threw thou sand. The Democrats will have a majority of about fifteen on joiut bal lot in the City Couucil. The Fall electiou in Pennsylvania this year promises to be of unusual interest. It takes place on the first Tuesday of November, instead of the second Tuesday of October, a* hereto fore, aud will be the first general elec tion held under the new Constitution. Among the State officers to choose arc a Lieutenant Governor and two addi tional Judges of the Supreme Court —one by each party. Members of Congress arc to b chosen throughout the State, as in other States. Allow ing twenty-two State Seualors to hold over, whose terms have not expired, there will be tweuty-eigbt Senators and 200 members of the House to choose to make up the full comple ment required under the new Consti tution. The usual number of ceunty officers are also to be elected, some of them (commissioners and auditors, for on the cumulative plan of each elector voting for only one per son where two are to be choaen. The cost of the Ashantee war is of ficially certified at $4,500,000, which is at about the rate of $9,000 per nig ger killed. This is dog cheap, as wars go. In additiou the expedition ary force have burned up several clus ters of palm-leaf huts and captured King Kofiee's big umbrella, which is now in the British Museum, with guards walking round it day aud night. The commander-in chief is pronounced a new Miltiade*, and his victory is as much talked about in Great Britain at present as Ther mopylae was in Athens. There was no particular reason for the war ex cept that the niggers were thought to be somewhat weaker than they were, and when the paeans of victory are all sung and the lamps of triumph gone out in smoke, the stricter class of econ omists will doubtless deem that the $4,500,000 might have been laid out to better advantage. The Vicksburg Herald put* it thus; Vice-President Wilson g>es to the Hot Spring* in Arkantai for the ben efit of hi* health. It is a hopeful sign of the time* when men like Henry Wilson, Vice-President of the United States, and Oliver P. Morton, United States Senator from Indiana, are com* polled to come down among the rebel secession Democracy of Arkansas in search of health. We shall be glad to know that they have not only re covered their health but that they have lost their politics. Governor Dix on 7th, sent a mes sage to the New York Legislature calling the attention of that body to the action of Congress on the finan cial question, and recommending the -Senate and Assembly to enter a pro test against the adoption of measures looking to an inflation of the national currency. The Legislature adopted resolutions in accordance with the Governor's recommendation. Washington, April B.—The upper most question in Washington just now is, Will the President veto the infla tion bill ? which will be laid before him possibly this week. The expan sion Senators, who claim to know the views of the President, give a very emphatic negative, while the anti expansion Senators expressed the greatest confidence this evening that if the House passed the Senate bill to morrow without acy amendment look ing to a future retirement of the green backs he would certainly veto it. These opinions, from equally authori tative quarters, do not give a very definite idea of what the President will do with the bill, and the truth doubtless is that he does not now know himself. He is getting, how ever, a pretty good idea, of public sentiment. To~day be recived half a bushel of letters and numerous tele grams appealing to him to veto any inflation project submitter] by Con gress. The better sense of the coun try seems thoroughly aroused over the vote in the Senate, and according to advices received here the course of Governor Dix and the Chicago Board of Trade will be supplemented from all quarters. rower ofOwgin, Slrvclttiittc. and lite Will [ Kimn t'r Itrown Scijusrd rvr at lerture) What now is the agent of pro dncliun of nervous force in r.ur blood " It is clear that hlood itself must be; necessary to tho production of nerve force. Still for a limo the oxygen alone which is carried by the hlood may suffice. Oxygen, even when the hlood seems to have heen taken away altogether from the part, can give some nette force to the nervous sys tetn ; hut there is a medical agent, which lias immense power in produc ing nervous results. When the spi nal cord of a frog lias been washed ot every drop of hlood, when injections of pure water so as to carry away every particle of bluml, it Strvclrniite is put on the spinal cord, in a short time the amount of "reflex pewder, which is a manifestation of nerve iorce, is very much greater tlian it was bo fore, show nig that strychnia has in creased that power. This is tho only lact we know, which clearly proves that a medicine putting aside oxygon, can have such a power indeed, which ais verv great. What is the power of our will or* the nerve force? This is a question which a great many patients every day ask themselves- There i.- no doubt that nerve force is very little under our will. It may be an admira ble provision of nature. It may he that we would spend it very foolishly, as we do spend many other things. Still, there are many circumstances wheu the deficiency of will-power is really paiuful and in patients in whom the amount of nerve torve is immense I.have tried to tr asure the amount of nerve force in a irog. 1 have fouud that a frog cot.d lift a weight of twen ty grammes to a poiut which was about a line and a quarter 000 or 700 times iu an hour and a quarter. 'lbis is an immense amount of nerve force, aud manifested, too, wheu the spinal cord was uo more receiving blood, wheu there was uo tuore circulation. Iu this cast* the frog was beheaded. Compare this wilh ths case of a trog having its head. The frog with a head, after a short time could not more at all willfully ; while still the reflex action, as we call it, an irrita tion of the skin, determined a strong movement. There may he, therefore, in certain circumstances, an immense amouut of nerve force accumulated iu the system. I would not say that there is uo more production immedi ately sfler the cessation of circulation. 1 had not washed the vessels. There was blood lsft there ; still there was not much of it, and it was not charged with oxygen after a time, I have for a long time tried to prove that there is unity iu nerve for ces. If we spend force either in the way that I am now doing, by mental more thau by physical labor ;if we speud force by the pen in hand, when we are studyiug quietly at a table, we find, that after having heen at work three or four or five hours, that the uerve foce that remains for phy sical exercises is dimiuished. We hare drawu force front a focus which is the same that gives it fi>r mental ac tion and for physidal exertion. If, ou the other hand, we walk twenty miles and find ourselves physically tired, we find then that very little force remaius for mental actiou. These are facts, however, which seem to be in opposition to this, and those facts will be fully explained in the last lecture, when I come to ex plain the two laws of production and expenditure of nervous force. 1 may say this much, however, just here, that it is perfectly well known con trary to what I have said that we can do better with our brain if we have had some exercise than if we have had no exercise at all. But it is simply that a certaiii of exercise has led to the production of a nervous force by improving the circulation, improving the secretions, improving respiration, and improving in fact all the great orgauic functions through which the secretiou of nervous force takes place, so that we have become richer iu our force b.H-ause of the ex ercise we have taken physically. There is no doubt, therefore, that moderate exercise will lead to a pro duction of nerve-force and facilitate the exercise of our brain powei ; and there is no question that if we draw too much of the nerve force of our sys tem, if wc draw a great deal more of it than can be reproduced during a certain time ; if we walk, for instance very fast for five or six hours, wc are then unfitted for work ; and for a good ruau} other things. Our respiration becomes difficult. Our heart, after having beaten with much rapidity, comes to beat very slowly. We are weakened iu every organ whose ac tion depends on nervous force. There is no doubt, therefore, that there is a common focus of nerve force on which we draw for any of the activities of our system employing nerve force. Looking through a microscope for several hours, as rnicrographers know full well, is a cause of great fatigue, and will render mental work or phys ical labor thereafter more difficult. Interesting Insurance Suit. In the case of the Home tire insur ance company of New York against the Pennsylvania railroad company tor damages alleged to have been caused to I)r. Rutherford's barn near Middletown by spurks from a locomo tive, a verdict for $2,300 wss render ed in favor of the plaintiff. The company insured a born and contents on the line of the defendants'mud and on a windy day in October, 1£67, four trains of the defendants passed within fifty feet of the barn. Within a few miuutcs of the time u fire broke out in some straw in the barnyard, which communicated with and destroyed the baru and contents. "The plaintiff bad insured the same property and paid the loss to the owner of the barn, and sued the railroad compnny for its ueg ligence. The defendants claimed, first, that they did not set fire to the barn ; that their engines were oflhe most approved pattern ; and, second, that if they die cause the fire it was because the straw and other drye in flammable stuff was scattered negli gently around the barn, and this should defeat any recovery on the ground of contributing negligence on the part of the owner of the barn ; and | finally, that no suit could be brought in the name of the insurance company fur a part of the loss, hut that the action must he in the tutine of the own er of the ham for his entire loss, 'lie case will be carried to the supreme court by the Pennsylvania railroad company. ♦ ♦ On the confirmation uf Mr. Or vis all the senators hut Mr. Kruientrout vo ted fur the confiruation. His opposi tion was the result of an opinion that the appointment wae not constitution al, Mr. Orvis being a member of the present legislature. TUK INDIAN FMINE.
