ceived to make certain the election
of the Republican State Ticket,by at
least 20,000 majority, that the
Legislature will be Republican in
both branches. This result' possetres
unusual significance and importance,

These substantial and brilliant vic
tories indicate the drift of public
opinion upon the great qtettiena of
the day, and the determination of
the people to interposes Solid North
as an offset tothe SOlid South. It is
also A verdict in favor cif the finan
cial policy of the government, and a
repudiation of the paper money de
bit-dont which has 7 had such a hold in .
Ohio. They are certain evidence
that an aroused Northern feeling will
carry the Republican Candidate in
triumph to the Presidency in 188 j
Sommrow the promno candidacy
of Mr. TILDEN does not aeon toriwet
,the views of the many, in portions of
-the " solid South," where it viintpre
sawed he would roll up large-major
ities,-:,,,Frorn time to time opposition
to his nomination has been mildly
suggested, , but the Northern Democ
racy, with about that share of Jack
sonian firmness that is indicated in a.
rampant mule, have Insisted in their
taking the medicine, and .now the:
patients are kicking in the traces.
Thei.ittle Rock (Ark.) Gazette re
marks, that it has been zealous in
opposition to Mr. TILDEN, not froM
any feeling of . personal dislike oci
hostility,. , but simply because there
are otheietter memand better Dem
ocrats for the position and, most of
all, it opposes his nomination be
cause it Mars he cannot be elected.

Toz general results of to = town,.
elections in Connecticut on Monday,
are reported fa \ rcrable to the Repub.
licans. As a' "stra w "
, is indicative
of the way the cifite likely to
run neat year, this is worthy of
notice. In theland of steady habits,
sudden political revolutionh are un
known, and the drift of public sent":
ment does not change violently. If
Connecticut is Republican in 1879, it
is tolerably certain to-be Republican
in 1880. Rent events show that
the State is not hopefully looked to
by the - Democrats, and hardly. re.
garded at present even as " doubtful." ,
Connecticut may fairly be put down
in ifie Republic= column for 1880.

• The disaster which befell the West
boupd Pacifier expiess on the Michi
gan,
Central Railroad, near Jackson,
was the most shocking that has oc
curred since Ashtabuli. The 'train
left Detroit at 10 36 on Thurs
day, 4Q minutes late,'ind the deplor
able results which followed are due
to thip- fatal delay. The train was
composed of fourteen cars—seven
'Wagner sle epers, four, passenger
coaches and three mailond baggage
cars. Next to the'lnall cat' was'ari
emigrant and second-class ear, near
ly filled with pasiengers. _The train
attained a high rate of speed after
leaving Detroit to make, tip the lost
time, and, when near Jackson,at a l
siding a slight down - grade acclerat
ed the spee,dorhich - at that time was
not less than. forty miles a -hour.
Here a. Switch , engine, whose driver
was *Oiling, upon the main, tmek,_
tokink.advantage of the time'of the
supposed" delayed express, was en
countered with the most appalling
effect. The two engines were in a
twinkling 'reduced to the most com
plete Wreck that.. it is possible to
imagine, a hopele ss and undistin
gnishable -mass of, broken and tWist
ed metal. The tender of the express
engine had telescoped into the bag
gage car, , which is in turn was forced
into the mail ,-car. These crowded
the first passenger coach to the right
onthe embankment and crushed
back into the two 'following coaches.
The scenes which followed were ter
rible. When the baggage car came
in contact with the telescoped coach
es there was a heap of bruised, bleed
ing nhd dying human - beings, whose
moans and cries of distress filled the
air. " Mutilated bodies of the dead
could be seen among 'the _debris of
the- ft wrecked." -coaches. Under the
sharfeless mass which was once-the ex
press engine were the lxxlips of the
engineer and fireman, which were ex
* ,
trigated as soon as possible- , Death
to them and many of the other vie-,
Ulna must have -been instantaneous.
The engineer - :and fireman of the
switch engine Seeing their peril in 1
time leaped 'fromN,their places and
escaped injury. The lateness of the
hour and the darkness,of the night
rendered the work of extricating the
victims neccessarily a slow and
tedious one, but scores of ready
hands,. were, actively engagedin doing
all that could lje done under the dis
tressing circumstances. Many try
ing and-touching incidents occurred '
and many acts , ot.theroism were re
corded. , The, latest accounts state
that: fi ft een people were killed; and
thirty-one wounded. The passengers
on the trains tell horrible stories.
C. 0. Parsons, of Boston, says that
when he climbed thipaigh the "win
dow of the telescoped . car he copid
scarcely find room . for his foot, so•
thick were, the - bodies of- the dead
and wounded. The groans of, the
sufferers :were horrible. • Children
were calling for parents, mothers for
their children, husbands for their
wives and wives for their husbands.
_The body of one , little, girl was hand
ettout whose head had been literally
smashed to a pulp. A little boy was
passed through the window by Mr.,
Parsons, who' was also terribly
smashed.• One 'poor fellow died of
strangulatioti; an iron bar having
pinned him to the ground; the bar
lay across his throat, but so great
was iti'weight that it was impossible
to rescue him. Mr. Parsons then
went to the forward _end of the
wreck.• A faniily,cOnsistink of father,
mother and one little boy four years
of. age, were found - crushed beneath
the pile of splintered timber. Hus
band and wife were dead. The
mother's arm was clasped so tightly
about her child - that the little one
could not be extricated, from this
embraceof death for several minutes.
The little fellow' -Was finally gotten
out of the wreck after two hours, of
kibof,lvhen4t - was found that one of
Gig - legs was-broken. •
