TIIK EMPIRE STATE.
Of nil tho victories achieved by the
democracy this fall, the victory in New
York is the most important, tho most
brilliant. It is tho largest, mast popu
lous, and most wealthy State in the
Union, and wields a powerful influence
upon the other States. Tho result in
Now York makes it almost certain that
-the Democrats will elect the next Presi
dent of tile United States. Had this
great State with its 38 Electoral votes,
adhered to the enemies of the country,
the 1 most sanguine 1-eraocrat would
haye despaired of success In the great
contest of 1868, Both parties felt this,
and hence it was that the recent contest
in New York was carried on with so
much vigor, determination and real.—
It was death to the party that was to be
defeated.
Never in the history of party warfare
was such ah effort made as the Negro
party made to save New York from the
march of the popular upheaving—tho
great ground-swell, that lias been mani
fested in all tho elections held this fail.
The National Republican Committee,
the Congressional Republican Commit
tee, the Colored National Committee,
the Equal Rights Committee, with hum
bug “General” Sheridan ns traveling
agent, joined the efforts of the Radical
State Committee of'New York, in the
desperate attempt to stay the tide of
popular opinion. The State was liter
ally besieged by Radical slangwhangcrs;
and political tracts, tilled with swelter
ing lies, were as numerous as tho leaves
of Valambrosa. Defeated in nearly all
the Northern Staten, the conspirators
piled into New York all the men and
money they could rake and scrape to
gether. It Was their last card—their
last desperate effort to stifle the voice of
an honest and betrayed people. Their
salvation or destruction depended upon
the result, and their all, their last hope
was staked upon the issue. All the en
ergies, all the abilities, all the talent, all
the cunning, all the means, all the vil
lainy of the party were put into play to
save them from the impending ruin.—
“Atall hazards, and without regard to
means or money, we must save the Em
pire State,” said the conspirators.
But all would not do. The people of
New York—a Stale that had contribu
ted more men and more money to the
-war than all the New England States
combined—had made up their minds to
strike down the infamous and devilish
men who compose the Negro-disunion
party. Nothing could move them from
their purpose; nothing could appease
their wrath; nothing would satisfy them
but the condemnation and death of the
God-defying Negro party. With one
heart, one mind, one will, and one
sworn determination, the sovereign
I’EOPI.K of New York mot their oppo.s
ers at the polls, and defeated them
horse, foot and dragoons. Nay, not
only defeated them, hut annihilated
them.
Glorious New York! —all honor to the
greatest of our .States —a State that is an
Empire within itself. Will the dare-
devils in Congress after this response of
iNew York to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Con
necticut, California, Maine, Kentucky,
Maryland, Delaware and Nevada—will
they dare go on in their work of trea
son? Will they continue to outrage
public sentiment and public decency,
and put the people at defiance? Wo
trow not. But if they do; if they per
sist in their treason, then the people
will demand of President Johnson that
stronger measures he used against them.
The yeomanry of the country are in no
humor to be trifled with longer. They
are angry, and in terrible earnest, and
they have sworn hi their hearts that
this country shall not he torn to pieces,
nor be controlled by semi-barbariaa ne
groes. This is their deteyminalion.—
Lot the conspirators then take iieed, if
they do not desire to feel the people’s
Wrath,

After the Pennsylvania election, the
New York Tribune said: “If there was
neither a newspaper nor a common
school in the country, the Democratic
party would he stronger than it is.” If
this statement be true, how is it that in
the City of New York, where more ami
abler newspapers are published and read
than amongst the same population else
where, where the public schools surpass
in excellence any in the world, and are
attended by one hundred and fifty thou
sand pupils, yearly—how is it that New
York rolls up a Democratic majority of
(10,000? How is it that Philadelphia,
the second city of the. Union, with its
multitude of newspapers and its splen
did system of jrce education, gives a
Democratic majority? How is it that
Boston, tlie centre of refinement and in
telligence, the Athens of America,
which boasts that It contains more
wealth and intelligence than any city of
the Union—how is it that Boston gives
a Democratic majority ? How is it that
Baltimore, renowned during half a cen
tury for her educated men and beauti
ful women, gives a Democratic major
ity of 15,000 ? How is it that San Fran
cisco, the Queen City of the Pacific
slope, the centre from which radiates
the new civilization of tlfo far west, how
is it that she gives a Democratic major
ity ? It would be useless to add to this
list the cities of the West and South, or
the Smaller cities of Brooklyn, Albany,
Lancaster, Harrisburg and others which
give Democratic majorities. In view of
these facts we challenge contradiction
to the assertion that wherever there are
newspapers and schools, wherever there
is education, intelligence and virtue,
there the Democratic party is in the
ascendency. If the Republicans will
continue to claim all the intelligence in
the land, they had better get up a now
set. of facts.
It Is estimated by the New York
1 imes and other journals that the pure
ly partisan legislation of the late session
of Congress has added to the national
expenses oyer one hundred and seventy
live million dollars. The reconstruc
tion act alone will cost that, apart from
the disabilities it imposes upon the
South to meet its share of the national
expenditures.
The Democratic victories on the sth
brougiit gold down with a rush ou the
oth.
BEAR THIS, EVERYBODY
The New York Herald, it is well
known, has been one of the most zeal
ous, as it has been the ablest Republi
can paper in the United States. It was
Mr. Lincoln’s organ in tho Empire
State, anil with great power, and often
with more zeal than prudence, sustain
ed all the ;icts of his administration,
with tho exception of an occasional
growl at its corruptions. Tho Herald
believed in Mr. Lincoln’s professions,
and in the professions of the Republican
party when they pretended to be anx
ious for a restored Union—for peace—
for a reconciliation between tho sec
tions. Mr. Bennett, its editor, now
finds that lie was mistaken ; lie now
finds that instead of sustaining men
who were in favor of a whole Union, he
wns giving aid and comfort to traitors
—to men who made a mock profession
of “loyalty,” for no other purpose than
to hoodwink and deceive the people,
tiie hotter to unable them (tho conspira
tors,) to make the negro the ruling pow
er in our once happy land—happy until
an unprincipled sot of political gam
blers ami thieves got possession of it.
Mr. Bennett, like all men of sense,
has got ids eyes open, and, notwith
standing his Republican proclivities, he
sounds the alarm, and appeals to the
people of all parties to fly to the rescue
of our threatened country, and save it
from negro domination. Ho says the
negro trust not and shall not ruie this
country, and this sentiment will be re
sponded to by every decent white man
in America. But, to the article from
the New A ork Herald. We, may men
tion m passant, that tho Herald supports
Gen. Grant for next President:
[From U,r Xcw York Ucrnhl.\
The Ma'aer Omsliun nml ll,c
Early,
Shall this continent bo given up to
barbarism for a fanatical experiment and
a party scheme? This, and none other,
is now tlie question before the American
people. Shall wo throw away what we
have acquired of science and civilization,
blot out our history, give up all aspira
tions of the future, that the nigger may
become supreme and restore tire land to
that happy state of nature in which Af
rica now is? is Africa such a magnifi
cent evidence of the nigger’s greatness
that the example of its history should in
ditce us to change our system for his?—
For uncounted centuries the negro has
had possession of that continent and
never built a city, never bridged a river,
never made the smallest discovery hav
ing any tendency to widen the little
space that separates him from tile gorilla
—never even borrowed the discoveries of
races with which he came in contact, ex
coptns they supplied moreellicient means
for the gratification of ids instinct for
cruelty. Salli is the history of the nig
ger in his native land, iiui ho comes ?o
another continent, becomes subordinate
to a race that forces him to labor, and.
presto! thereisa change! freedom had
kept him a brute, sloven, made him'a
man, and what must the second freedom
make him 7 Lord of the ascendant! He
must be the master and must control'lpe
political destinies of tho nation, though
It be to tlie exclusion of a race of while
men without superiors on the face of the
earth. Such is the drama now in pro
gress. Tho white man of the North
holds down tho white man of the South
while the nigger tramples upon him.
Wendell Phillips and Vhad Stevens are
-rigid.- There is nothing in the platform
of the republican party but the nigger,
and no other subject in national polifics
worthy of thought, by comparison with
the discussion of the position, but the
rights anil the powers the nigger is to
have iu tlie nation. Tins involves the
most momentous revolution a people over
passed through. It involves tho com
plete, overturning of our present social
nhd.politioul system. Wo are accustom
ed, to leek upon the French Uevohuion
ns a sufficiently terrible chapter of his
tory ; yet that was only a war between
classes, all of whom were of tlie same
race, and its bloodiest phase was merely
the insanity of revenge. Here it is in
sisted that a superior race shall give way
to an inferior, when that inferior race
lias derived only from contact witli the
other wind semblance of humanity it
lias. Men whose fathers fought side by
side with the men of the North in three
wars fur the honor of tlie republic—men
ol a race whoso instincts are nil towards
progress—must yield to a race wiiose in
stincts are so positively the other way,
(hat. left alone, they fall to absolute bar
barism and wildness in a single genera
tion. Of what moment arc rimiidal dis
cussions, free trade theories, or political
hairsplitting of any sort, by comparison
with tlie deliberation of tins nigger ques
tion—bearing with Has it does tlie possi
bility that tlie Westward progressof civi
lization is stayed, was definitely arrested
by tlie success of tlie Northern people in
tlie great war that tljey supposed was a
war against barbarism ?
Nothing can have forced tlie repub
lican parly to its present extreme posi
tion in regard to the nigger, hut a senti
ment of desperation, a leellng that tins
degraded nice is its forlorn hope, and that
if it eunnot ride through the slave vole it
must relinquish power altogether, Tho
attitude of tlie Northern people justifies
this thought. The protest of the people
lit the polls —a protest heard from tho
widest separated extremities of Hie nation
not only announces to the republican
leaders Hint they have gone farther than
tlie people would permit, but Unit they
have gone so far they can never hope to
secure popular confidence again. To
abate some portion of tlieir pretension
would therefore be useless, ami they des
perately choose to push the game to its
ultimate limit, hoping yet to control by
means of tlie power to be given to tlie
nigger. It is clear enough that this is in
ail ways a murderous policy—murderous
to tho country if it prevails and to tlie men
who have planned it if the people can see
their purpose. And the people must he
made to see ; and thus every jut gained in
power given to tlie nigger will be lost by
tho depth that this policy will inevitably
give to the reaction of the nation against
tho bold, bad, unscrupulous knot of poli
cians who are definitely determined to
ruin if they cannot rule.
Bull Itini aid not destroy the Union, nor will
UenioenlLlc victories destroy the Unloii-lleimb
llcnn imrly.— JVar Yorh 'jribnnc.
If the battle of Bull Bun did not de
stroy the Union, Greeley and his party
of conspirators did. The Union is now
virtually destroyed, and ten States, in
stead of aiding in the liquidation of the
National debt, are an expense to us, and
the whole burthen is borne on the
shoulders of thcjieople of the North.—
But, we will not despair. The people
now see, if they never did before, the
aims and objects of the vile men who
have had control of the Government
for more than six years. And as
McClellan was called on to destroy the
effects of the Bull Run defeat, ho' may
be called on again to rescue our country
from the hands of worse traitors than
were those who then menaced it.
The cost of running this Government
under Radical dis-imiou rule, is about
eight hundred millions of dollarsper year,
and thnt'iu a time of profound peace.—
When a Democratic administration
spent eighty millions a year, the party
now in power howled about extrava
gance, and wanted the country brought
back to the days of the fathers of the
Republic. We got it back to the good
old days of Adam ami of Eve, with a
vengeance, Thirty dollars per week, to
each man, woman and child, are now
expended by “the best Government
upon earth !" If we cannot get a cheap
er and better one, wo had better return
to a primitive condition, Let us have

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN
The news of our glorious Democratic
victories has sent a thrill of heartfelt
joy' and gratitude through tho great
popular heart of the country. It is not
the ordinary feeling of exultation over
partisan success, but is something deep
er and loftier—a feeling which would
rather find expression in devout thanks
giving than in Waning bonfires and noi
sy demonstrations. The history of the
list six years iiad almost convinced our
truest patriots that mankind were not
.capable of self government. No other
people could have borne so submissive
ly tho outrage, imposture and oppres
sion which the American people have
endured since the first inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln. We saw all the
fundamental principles of civil liberty
broken down and trodden under foot.—
We saw the rights of free speech, a free
press, the habeas corpus and tho trial by
jury denied and taken away. We saw
men-torn from their homes at the dead
hour of night without warrant of law,
tried without court or jury, and impris
oned without judgment or sentence,—
Wo saw the. Constitution contemptu
ously set aside, as a thing of the past—
pronounced too. antiquated for modern
ideas of progress, and openly and boldly
repudiated by a Rump Congress, rep
resenting a contemptible minority of
the people, who boasted thatlhey legis
lated “outside of the Constitution.”—
Wo saw the governments of ten States
ot the Union overthrown, their execu
tives unseated, their courts closed, their
Legislatures abolished, and the lives,
liberty and property of the people
placed at the absolute disposal of mili
tary dictators whoso citiof recommenda
tion for appointment had been that
they heartily sympathized with the
despotism they were to enforce. We
saw all these crimes perpetrated in the
name ofjihcrty. and yet the people sub
mitted as if they were slaves. To pro
test was to brave the - dungeon or the
halter.
Through out this- fearful trial, tlie mas
ses of the Democracy never lost faith in
its principles, hut there were some.who
grew weak j n tho faith and joined tlie
ranks of mu-adversaries. There is an
Eastern story of an aged man who re
ceived a commission from the Deity to
proclaim to Ids people that arain should
fall upon tho earth for nine days and
nights- Upon whomsoever tlie rain fell,
upon-him and his children should fall
the- spirit of madness. They were
therefore to retreat to a cavern by tho
river, to save themselves from the terri
ble scourge. When tho ominous day
arrived, tho prophet retired to the ap
pointed cavern, and there remained
alone, during tho appointed time. On
.the tenth morning lie came forth and
sought* his brethren. He beheld war
and bloodshed and confusion all around
him—brother was armed against broth
er, aut 't father against child. Women,
once tender and gentle, urged on tlie
cruel strife, and holy men of religion
applauded eacii deed of blood. Flames
kindled by a brother’s hand burst from
every homestead, and helpless women
ami children were driven forth to starve.
Amidst the general confusion his own
brain began to reel, and spying in a fur
row a quantity of the maddening water
still unevaporated, and uttering the last
words of reason “it As- rain to he none in
a world of madmen" plunged into tlie
liquid poison, and came out as mad and
wretched as Ins neighbors. So it seem
ed as if wo had become a nation of mad
men. To be insane and fiendish was to
be popular; and many who had true
manhood in their breasts plunged into
tiie maddening wnters'of a bloody fanat
icism that they might become as blood
thirsty and as “loyal,” as their neigh
bors. But the masses of tlie Democrat
ic party never lost faith in tlie virtue
and intelligence of the people. They
believed that the dance of death could
not be kept up forever—that there would
come a day of returning reason, when
men should rise above tlie level of brut
ish 1 masts. That trust lias been re
warded the prayer of faith lias been
answered. Tile vote of Connecticut,
California, Iventucky, Maryland, West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
\ork, New Jersey and even Massachu
setts has vindicated the faith ol the De
mocracy, and proclaimed in a voice too
clear and loud to be misunderstood, that
there is a great revolution in popular
feeling sweeping over the entire coun
try from tiie Penobscot to Hie golden
shores of the Paeifie. The people have
declared that this isa white man’s gov
ernment, and that it has no more legiti
mate power than tho people have in
vested it with by the terms of the Con
stitution. Yes, thank God, tlie people
aie again clothed in their rig-lit minds.
They have reasserted their capacity for
self-government, and tlie “ loyal”" trai
tors, however thoroughly they may be
organized, however strengthened by ill
gotten wealth, however unscrupulous in
regard to tho means by which they
would secure success, can never again
triumph over them.
Our friends must remember that tho
contests this year were only for the van
tage ground in tho great battle which
will be fought next fall, between the
hosts of liberty and despotism. These
contests wo have won, and with pru
dence and energy it is already settled
that wo may elect tlie next President
and House of Representatives. Tlie
people are with us. They have decided
that the Union shall bo restored and the
Constitution maintained, and they .have
declared that no negro empire shall be
erected on the ruins of tho Republic.—
Let us bo true to the principles upon
which wo have triumphed, let us work
with an energy and zeal before unknown ‘
in our ranks, and with the help of the
great Ruler of Nations wo will yet save
the country.
The fell purposes of the Radical party
have become so thoroughly revealed,
that people who have suffered them
selves to be seduced into blind co-ope
ration with it, can .no longer bo deceiv
ed. No man who is true to the Consti
tution can he a Radical. No man who
is in favor of the supremacy of the white
man can be u Radical. No man who
prefers republicanism to despotism can
lie a Radical, No man who is opposed
to a Avar of races can be a Radical.

THE mriox PACIFIC BAILROAD~ALL
BAU* TO THE BOfKY JIOC.MAJt.MS,
Not even this country of great achieve
ments lias ever before undertaken any
industrial enterprise so important as the
building of a railway to the Pacific ocean.
Less than twenty years ago, Col. Benton
advocated in Congress a railroad, “ where
practicable,” across the country from the
Mississippi to the Pacific coast; but his
moderate proposal was considered to ba
fan in advauce.even of this progressive*
age. And yet to-day, more than one
third of this vast work has been finished.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company,
organized in ISO 3, began to build in 1804,
had only fairly get to work in 3SS-5, and
in October, ISO 7, have completed live
hundred miles of road which has been
pronounced by Government Commission
el's first-class in construction and equip
ment. This Company is constructing
the eastern end of the line, beginning at
Omaha, Nebraska; while the Central
Pacific Company is building the western
end, beginning at Sacramento, Califor-
nia.
The peculiar and impressive features
of the Pacific Railroad arc; Ist, Its Im
portance os a national enterprise; 2d,
The especial privileges granted to it by
the Government; and 3d, The unusual
care taken ,by Government enactments
for the safety of investments in its secu
rities.
The national importance of a railroad
to the Pacific can hardly be over-estima
ted. The Government Is spending mil
lions of dollars annually in transporting
men and material to Us frontier posts;
with a railroad In operation, this expense
will be reduced at least three-fourths.—
The gold and silver mines of the Wes
tern States and Territories yield annually
about one hundred millions dollars;
with the increased facilities for emigra
tion, and for transporting the requisite
machinery for the thorough development
of the mining region which a railroad
will afibrd, this production will bo at
least doubled. The public lands in Ne
braska, and in the Territories west of
that State, have been comparatively
worthless, because they were Inaccessi
ble, and, consequently, unproductive;
the Union Pacific Railroad opens all the
great valley of the River Platte and vast
regions beyond to the occupancy of
thrifty emigrants, and has already estab
lished such a succession of thriving towns
as will bring all land in the vicinity of
the railroad into active demand. In cose
of foreign war or domestic revolution,
the existence of a railway line, by which
troops could be conveyed from the Atlan
tic to the Pacific, or vice versa, in a week,
would be of incalculable value; while
under any 1 circumstances of internal
trouble, necessitating a repetition in
kind of the Utah expedition, thej saving
to the Government by means of this road
would be enough to construct the entire
line. Gen. Sherman has said that u The
Government could afford to build the
whole road rather than be without it,”
and there are abundant reasons for pro
nouncing this opinion a sound one.
So great are the manifest national ad
vantages to bo derived from a Pacific
Railroad, that the two powerful compa
nies authorized to build it received very
extraordinary gran ts from Congress. Do
nations of land were made to the compa
nies to the amount of 12,800 acres per
mile; and then United States bonds, to
an average amount of about $30,000 per
mile, were advauced_to the Companies,
which have the privilege of paying a
large part, if not all, of this Indebtedness
to the Government, by the transporta
tion of malls and war and other national
material. No other industrial enterprise
ever received so liberal aid from the Gov
ernment as this.
Having madesuchspecial grants as In
dicated Us entire confidence in the full
success of the undertaking, the Govern
ment took unusual care that those who
Joined with it in assisting the Union Pa
cific Railroad Company should be amply
secured against any probability of loss or
failure. The Company was authorized to
issue its own bonds to an amount equal
to the advances ofctbe-Government, and
these bonds constitute the first mortgage
upon the road, the claim of the Govern
ment being made a second lien. The
Government appoints five Directors, who
shall look carefully' after the manage
ment of the road ; and also three commis
sioners, whoso duty it is to thoroughly
inspect each section of twenty miles, be
fore the bonds can bo issued upon that
section. Thus the bonds represent, not a
projected enterprise, which may bo com
pleted, but a finished and equipped rail
road, earning very largely in excess of its
expenses, and with a future which can
not fall of being eminently profitable.
The future business of the only rail
road connecting the Atlantic and Pacif
ic states must be something marvelous,
and we venture the prediction that no
single track will long accommodate the
endless succession of trains that will
crowd Us entire line. Western Europe
is waiting for it, as the shortest route to
Eastern Asia; and how many anxious
hearts in the old home states are longing
for it, to join hands with friends and re
latives, without the cost and risk of a
long, dreary and dangerous voyage in a
croweded steamer along two oceans.
But if the business of the completed
line is to be something marvelous, the lo
cal business on the sections already fin
ished is not less satisfactory. The earn
ings on three hundred and twenty-five
miles for a single quarter this season are
officially reported at one million dollars,'
and as the road goes further towards the
great mining regions, this sum must be
increased.
Every reader of this sheet is lnteresled
in the rapid prosecution of this work,—
Every new agricultural or manufacturing
community established by the opening
of this road will add to the national
wealth and aid in paying the public debt.
Every acre of laud hitherto unimproved,
which shall now be cultivated, Increases
the store of food for our own population
or for export. Every additional ton of
gold or silver that is mined puts money
in the public purse. The road will be
the great agent in the development of
the American continent, and its comple
tion in 1870 will benefit an entire popula
tion. With such a future before it as the
finished lino is certain to have, and with
so many guarantees for the protection of
the interests of those who invest in it, we
cannot but think that its bonds consti
tute one of the best investments now be
fore the American people. Theiri spe
cial advantages are set forth elsewhere,
and the character of the financial officers
of the Company Is sufficient guarantee
that those advantages are not exagger
ated In the slightest degree.
The full official vote of Ohio la in.—
It shows that the largest vote over cast
in the State was polled at the late elec

The limited election nows which we
gave last week indicated that the De
mocracy had carried everything before
them. More complete returns show
that our triumph was even more glori
ous than we then anticipated. Below
will be found a summary ot the latest
and most reliable news, carefully con
densed from the telegraphic reports:
NEW YORK.
New York City gives a Democratic
majority of over 61,000.
Brooklyn and Kings County give a
Democratic majority of 15,000.
The Democratic majority In the State
will reach 45,000!!
The Albany Argus claims New York
by 45,000 majority, with a majority in
the Assembly and 15 out of the 32 Sena
tors; Thirty-eight counties give the
Democracy a gain of 48,671.
The New York Legislature will aland
as follows; Senate—Democrats 15; Rads
17. House—Democrats 71; Rads 57.
Democratic majority on joint ballot, 12.
In 18G6 the Radicals had 58 majority on
joint ballot. One of the Radical Sena
tors is an independent.
NEW JERSEY.
The majority in New
Jersey, so far, is 13,492. Seventeen
counties out of the twenty-two are Dem
ocratic. Every Senatorial district was
carried by the Democrats. There is a
Democratic majority of one in the Sen
ate, and of 30 in the House—making a
Democratic majority on joint ballot of
thirty-ono. The gallant “Jersey Blues”
have fully redeemed the honor of their
State.
MARYLAND.
“ Maryland, My Maryland,” lias not
left a grease spot of the Radicals. Col.
Bowrie, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, and the entire State ticket,
are elected by 40,000 majority! The
Legislature will be unanimously Demo
cratic. There has not been a single
radical State or County official elected,
pot even a constable. St. Mary’s coun
ty gives 1,510 Democratic votes to 39
Radical votes; Charles county 1,229
Democratic to 7 Radical, and Calvert
county 889 Democratic to 1 Radical. —
Those are “ healthy” counties for “ Cop
perheads.” Such are the legitimate re
sults of keeping a people down for a few
years under bayonet elections.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Bullock, the Radical candidate for
Governor, is elected by 27,000 majority,
a Radical loss of over 40,000 on last
year’s vote. The Democrats and license
law men control botii branches of the
Legislatare. Another such a Radical
victory in Massachusetts will put the

BAUHOBAI. SUFFRAGE.
In the extremity of their distress the
Radicals of Kansas called upon the
strong-minded women to come out and
help them. Their Macedonian cry was
heard, and Mrs. Susan B. Anthony—
whom the public will doubtless remem
ber as the whilom vendor of a patent
nostrum which “ was never known to
fail, if taken in time”—and Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton—who is probably a
distant relative of the late Secretary of
War—rushed to their relief. In addi
tion to these there were five Mrs. Rev
erends, four Mrs. Judges, two Mrs.
Honorables and two Mrs. Majors, which
would seem to argue a fearful amount
of domestic unhappiness in the ecclesi
astical, judicial, civil and military
families of “ Bleeding Kansas.” Most
of these ladies are perhaps childless, and
having no sons of their own, it is emi
nently proper that they should recon
struct somebody else’s sons. Doubtless
they all take Mrs. Anthony’s syrup reg
ularly, to prevent accidents.
The telegraphic despatches tell us that
on election day, “Mrs. Stanton and
Mrs. Anthony visited the polls of each
ward in Leavenworth, and addressed
the voters. They wore accompanied by
the Hutchinson family, who sang some
of their campaign songs, and were re
ceived in every precinct with hearty
cheers for women’s rights and female
suffrage.”
But Susan’s pills were too strong for
Kansas, and both female suffrage and
negro suffrage miscarried. The State of
John Brown-and Jim Lane has repudia
ted the “twin relics,” and so long as
“ Bleeding Kansas” continues to bleed
the white men will control the polls.

Mr. Swartz,- County Superintendent,
thou announced that the time bad th
rived which,was appointed for the elec
tion of the “ mnheh t fixam Ining Com
mittee.” Ho proceeded to road the sec
tion of the law pertaining to the election
and duties of the Committee.
■ Ml*. Coburn, Assiatarit'State Superin
tendent, defined the decision of State Su
perintendent as to whoin Were dulyqual
ified electors. Ho stated that none were
eligible'who - did not hold valid certifi
cates, those who wero now holding pro
fessional certificates, yearly certificate,
or diplomas from State Normal School.
Mr. Glllelcn desired to state that cer
tain influences were exercised to begd
au unfriendly spirit towards the teachers
of Carlisle. The teachers of Carlisle, an
independent school district, had met with
their brother teachers with no cynical
or critical spirit, hub with a courteous
feeling which should ever characterize
members of the-same profession. He
hoped that ho would see a reciprocal feel
ing manifested, and a proper spirit evinc
ed towards each other.
Mi*. Swartz, selected Messrs. Wherry,
Keller, and Rltner as judges of the elec
tion. A
Mr. GUlelen then offered hia volt
which was objected to. Mr. G. thenap.
pealed Cobum for his opinion.—
Mr. C. replied at length, stating that Mr.
Wlckersham, State Superintendent, bad
received a dispatch asking’ 4 * whether the
Carlisle'teachers could vote?” and that
Mr, Wlckersham replied, “No.” Upon
reconsideration Mr. W. had sent him to
the convention with his opinion reversed.
“ That Carisle teachers, having valid cer
tificates, and teaching now, should vote.”
The judges however decided that Mr. G.
who holds a valid certificate and was now
teaching could not vote. .
. Mr. G. .then replied that there was a
singular want of respect on the part of
the judges toward the opinion of State
Superintendent. With his opinion read
before them that they still persisted in re
fusing Mr, G’a vote. '
Mr. Wherry, replied that the State Su
perintendent's opijnion was not his dccU
ion, that they should be , very careful as
required by instructions, and that they
therefore had to 'reject the votes of the
teachera.of Carlisle.’
Mr. G. then stated that the teachers of
Carlisle had brought to an issue what bad
long been desired. He was glad to know
that it; would be decided what relation ao
independent school district had to gener
al school lawsV whether the organic law
of s Carlisle was to govern their school
operations,, or whether it was amenabk
to every general law the Legislature may
enact. He therefore would give notice
that he wquld appeal to the;State Super
intendent for final,decision. .
Messrs. Beistje, Gring, Palm; Misses J-
Givler and Annie Plain were duly elected
as the permanent visiting committee.
