Wisconsin went against tbe Re publicans last year, but now, having discovered ber mistake, sbe gives a Republican majority of about 6,000, elects a strong Republican Legisla ture, and tbe Republicans bold their own in tbe Congressional delegation. The scramble for tbe epoila Lft8 &1 ready begun. Nearly balf the coun ties in tbe S'-te contain Democratic aspiranu for the U. S. Senatorsbip. Tbe for will soon begin to fly. Wolves were never hungrier, and there is but this one bone to be crunched. Tin election of Hon. Winthrop W Kctcham, in the Twelfth Congression al district, wsb a double triumph. Tbe district gave an average Demo cratic majority of over a thousand votes, and the candidate against whom bo ran, Hon. Ilendritl B. Wright, is an old and popular favoritewitb the Iople of Luzerne. Is Allegheny county, 12,732 Re publicans were absent from the polls on tbe 3d, only 13,089 votes being polled for Olmstead. In 1872, the Republican Tote was 25,711; the Democratic rote was 16,400. At tbe last election, the Democrats polled nearly their entire vote 15,704 3,4 C" votes were cast for tbe Prohibi tion ticket, and by this means electing tbe Democratic ticket Tn vote in this State for Cover iior two years since waa in round numbers 353,000 Republican to 317, 000 Democratic. The vote for Lien tenant Governor at the late election was 277,600 Democratic to 272,000 Republican. This shows that while the Democratie vote fell off 40,000 the Republican vote decreased 81, 000. "". Really, bow, the X Y. Tribune is not being well treated by its Dem ocratic friends. It created this great revolution, yon know, by scaring tbe country out of its propriety with fears of a "third term." And now, here comes Richard Schell "uncle Dick" one of the New York Democratic magnates, just elected to Congress, aud declares to the Herald that the third term is a humbug, for said be, "the President has several times told me be would not be a candidate for another term under any circumstan ces." Cruel, cnel, Richard! IIow rould you treat tbe Tribune so? Wx have it from authority which we canDot doubt, that a day or two previous to the late election, the edi tor of the Huntingdon Journal wrote sundry letters to Republicans ia Bed ford county, asserting that it bad been ascertained beyond all doubt, that CoL Yutzy was opposed to the re-election of lion. John Scott and was pledged to Mackey for U. S. Senator and urging the friends of Mr. Scott to vote for Hon. Wilttara P. Scbell. As we do not desire to have any future onpleasantness on this subject, it is now in order for Mr. Durborrow to rise and explain. We 6aw a few days Bince, in a newspaper which we bave mislaid, a bitter sneer at the Pennsylvania Protectionists as "tbe fellows who worshipped pig metal as their God." This is simply indicative of the Dem ocratic Free Trade sentiment that w ill prevail in tbe next Congress. It was an open secret before the late election to all who pleased io learn it, tbat Democratic succesn meant "Free Trade," and if the eastern leaders of that party can bave tneir wav, bard money also. And no sooner was victory assured than tbe Free Trade banner was ung to tbe breexe. On the evening of tbe 6th tbe Democratic magnates 'of New York assembled at the Manhattan club to celebrate their success, and August Belmont, in making his in troductory speech, said: "We owe our victory to our platform which bad placed upon it Free Trade and Elate Sovereignty." On tbe previous day the N. Y. World in an article exult ing over the result of tbe election, used tbe following language .Vic- tory has been tied, .with all her gar- lanas on, to tbe standards of tbe De mocracy by laithfu! bands which bave f occesbfiilly planted these stand ards in the forefront of thi gir at bat tle. It is a victory for Free Trade; a victory for Hard Money; victory for Home Rule. Tbe sign by which we bave conquered ia the Empire State is the sign by which we shall conquer in the whole country."

Federal bayo nets, to coerce Louisiana - into the ranks of the Republican party,- it be ing assumed that that State bad been carried by the Democracy. It now turns out as was anticipated, that the presence of tbe United States forces has prevented the contemplated Dem ocratic frauds, and ' tbe 'Picayune (Democratic) roncedes that the Re publican State .ticket ia elected, that tbe constitutional amendments,-eta-bodying Kellogg' financial policy, are adopted by a large majority; that three Republican Congressmen (in stead of one a first reported) are elected; tbat tbe House i close; and that the Senate stands twenty Re publicans to ten Democrats. ' ' " It is an undeniable fact that most of the Southern States were, carried for tbo Democracy on the Sd inst by the colored vote, and ' the late L"wh'te man's party" alrcady'tasan elephant on its bands." Thus tbe'N. Y. World, with daintily gloved fin gers, pats their back and says: The Democrats may promise less to the colored race, but tbey will ive them more real benefics than the'Rsdicals have gives them. We shall Dot be surprised if in 1876 two-thirds of tbe negro voters in the South are found supporting tbe regular Democratic nominations." While' on tbe other band the moro indiscreet Dentocrat ic papers, whose editorV'test' of party fealty baa always ' been to "d n nigger," begin to talk bont what they expect to do, thus tbe Logan, Kentucky, 'Sentinel, is Candid enough to say: ."We will have national conventions of all the State to revise and amend the Constitution of the United States, ."and. there will be no' Tin? niggers in that convent.on.

That is what we propose to do with the Diggers." -Oca "brethren"' of te Republican press will cry over the milk spilled at the election on the 3d inst, and reasons for the disaster arc as plen tiful as blackberries in mid-summer. It was our own fault, "an' there's the end of it." Local crievanccs, real or imaginary, contributed to tbe reeult in all the States, but an examination of the figures will show that tbe vote polled by the Democrats is not so fulj a one as that given to Greeley in 1372.- Here s the real cause in a nut-shell. The Republicans didn't vote, and therefore the Democracy won, not by force of their own num bers, but through the paucity of ours. With the Democratic party as a par ty, there is no evidences of sympathy on behalf of the people. They arc as incorruptible and as true to Re publican principles us they were from the day of the firing on Sumter to the defeat of Greeley in 1872, and they still hold in the some detestation the doctrines of the rebel Democ racy.' ..'..-, Over confident from long continued success, tbe Republican sentinels were caught sleeping at their posts, and the camp was captured by an enemy whose strength they de?pised. The blunder was a terrible one, bat it is better that it happened now than in 1876. The defeat now assures us victory then! We hold that tbe re verses of the 3d will prove a bless ing in -disguise; -if the Republican party will lay the lessou to heart. KB HEW YORK LETTEB. New York, November, 16, 1874. THE elections. ,..

' " Your Teason? I asked. ' "Because," was bis reply, v'it is time to slap somebody in the face.

As this man did, bo did thousands of others. ' The Republicans of- tbe city felt that a change was necessary that within the -party-evils - had grown up tbat required a radical and very severe treatment. And 60 they either voted the Democratic ticket, or refused to vote at all. The Democracy are as jubilant as men can be. The Manhattan Club, which is the headquarters of the lead ers of tbe organization, was, on Fri day night, a scene of revelry , of the wildest possible kind. Champagne flowed freely, and the . more Demo cratic fluid whiskey was as com mon as water., Thurman, of Ohio made a speech, as did Tilden and the other magnates. , ., ' . " No wonder they feel jubilant.' They see ahead of them a lonsr vista of good things., Tbey see in this tri umph a Democratic President in 187C, which gives unto them tbe unchecked control otlhe eity, tLe State, ; tbe whole country." Through the minds of these men float visions of positions of trust unhampered, and of plunder unlimited. . They sec io the immedi ate future a revival, of the glorious days of Tammany, when the great city, bouna baud aud, foot, was in their; bauds, bleeding money at every pore. ' Tbey see the revival of the Americus Club, with its gang of jolly roysterers; of the old Tweed times; in brief, when every man who could control fifty votes had his' bands in the treasury, elbow deep.

On Wednesday morniusr last the express safe on a train between New ork and cranton, l a., was taken from tbe cars and robbed. Tb$ southward train from Scran- ton to New York arrives here at twenty minutes of 7 and stops fif teen minutes for tea. Tbe night was unusually dark and the express messenger hungry. He locked the safe and tbe door of the express car and went to bis supper The burg lar watched an opportune uiomeut, and when the safety-valve of the ea- gine wa9 blowing off, he thrust bis hand through the window, by. the side of tbe entrau:e door to tbo car, raised the latch, opened tbe side door on the opposite side from the depot, placed a railroad tie upon the ground and to the door or tbe car, ana by that means noislessly slid the safe, weighing 218 pounds, to the ground. Then putting the tie to the. ground, and shoving the side door back to its place, he dragged tbe safe by main strength toward the river. Forty yards from tbo railroad.track . be came to a high board fence, and not being able to lift it over hs wrenched the lower board off and pulled it about fifty yards further, alongside a worm fence. Jlere, in ; its . shadow, ho applied a lever to tLe handle, and by a sudden , wrench easily, broke open tbe safe, . which was nothing more than a common sheet irou box, guarded on the corners , with iron bars, a quarter-inch in thickness by one and a quarter inches in , width. It was no more trouble lo open it than it would be to a blacksmith to get at the contents of a clam. (. The burglar then went about. 150 yards further into the Celd of S. S. Bogarf, lighted bis lamp and proceeded to ex am iue the contents of . each express package. He was evidently in a hurry, as in some instances be did not get all tbo money from the enve lopes., .One package from . Portland, Pa., to a firm in , Nfw York, which hai been put in but a few minutes before, containing $1,000, was torn open, but being wrapped in a lot of paper, wss jlefi on the ground; anoth er envelope, containing z,uuu ironi a national bank at Scrauton, Pa., to the Nashua Bank of New York, was gone: a draft for $643,18 from Phelps, of Oswego, N. Y., was among tbe torn envelopes.,, Payment has been stopped., Several small drafts, rang ing from $13 to $30, were also found; also several gold and silver watches, ear and finger rings, with some, oth er bijouterie that either the thief did not appreciateor overlooked in .bib haste. After rifling the express packages he made busty tracks across Dogart s" gram field southward in tbe direction of Manunka Chunk station, the imprints of his boots being plain ly seen in the ground, which were just eleven inches long and evidently new ones. The quickness of hisoper- ations may be judged from - the fact that Mr.'E; Henry, a' farmer living just dciow jue station and who was on tbe way to it, saw the light in Bogart's field while the train was not yet a mile from the scene of the robbery, and on bis approaching ;it suddenly disappeared, and he; heard the footsteps of some one running. This could not havp been morc than twenty minutes from ( the time' the messenger left the car. The niess-en-ger did not discover the loss until tbe train , bad run ten miles, and then telegraphed back from Washington that it had been lost somewhere be tween Manunka Chunk and Oxford. Detectives . from Washington and Hackettstown came up late the same night as far as Oxford in search of the Bafe, and the news was flashed privately over the wires that therob bsry bad taken place. " If ibis had been publicly given out no doubt but that the robber would have been easily apprehended ; but, through stupidity and fear of public blame, tbe news was withheld as lute as pos sible, and it was nearly 8 o'clock this morning before tbc robbery became generally known.

It emitted a terrible stench, and when asked the cause, McMahon said he was burning chickens which had died of choler. . . Suspicion having recently been aroused tbat Mrs. McMahon had been foully dealt with, Samuel Proline, au independent detective, was era ployed to work up the case. Protine, and Prosecuting Attorney Reiss ar rived b?ro to-day. The Eeeniny Dispatch gives quite a lengthy ac count of the affair derived from them. After, McMahon' log heap burned down, the ground was plowed over, but on examination ' by Detective Protine a few days ago, several hair pins, several buttons, and bones, which looked like finger bones, and part of an upper jaw bone, with tbe teeth attached, were fouDd. This led to the arrest of McMahon,1 and the evidence adduced at the prelim inary, examination, ; and improbable and contradictory statements made by McMahon and his children, led to his being held in one thousand dol lars bonds to answer the charge of manslaughter. Great excitement exists in the neighborhood. Mc Mahon is well advanced in lie, and has grown children. - A Xnrder tor Thirty Dollars.' Terre Haute, Ind, November 9.

As I approached tbe watchbouse I saw through a window , Bobbins in side. His shoulder and - head only could be seen. ; I raised the gun and fired. '. I then hesitated a few min utes lo listen if the report of the gun bad aroused any one. 1 then went up to the watchbouse door and found Bobbins on bis knees praying. I plainly beard bim say, 'Oh God, have mercy on the one who did this; sparo him for Jesus' sake.'

Tbe left leg was also cut across tbc thigh to the bone, besides being badly cut and lut-erated in other places. Mr.. Ben der only escaped from the infuriated animal by lying perfectly quiet. As long as be straggled tbe animal con tinued it attack, but Mr. Bender happened to think he had read that if a man lun attacked in tbat man ner ,'wero, to lie still, the animal would leave his. victim. He tried ibe experiment, ;it proved true, and he afterward wanazed ii reach the house- without any .assistance.

Tbe Mennonites, as ia well known, aro a religious sect, haviug their ori gin iu Holland iu the sixteenth cen tury, whoso prevailing characteristic, like tbat of tbe Quakers, is noncom baiivenoss. They emigrated to the boarders of tbe Black Sea, and, after developing tbe resource of that country by their industry and thrift, are now driven oet by a requirement to perform military service in viola tion of their , religious principles.
