It is now possible to-tell with some accuracy just' what the elections have accomplished. That the re suits have "not - been as favorable to the Eepu'blfcan party-a's in 'previous years is due partly to" the natural apathy'of 'voiertf in the "off" year; and more" particularly to dissensions within, the" party, of which some were caused by inordinate personal ambition. :Bn't with 'all that has A operated, tg the disadvantage of the Republican party in the late cam paign, the general result is really mora' favorable than Republicans themselves, expected, and unerringly indicate that the people still believe in the principles of our party, and have no idea, of abandoning them, though they .may go back on treach erous leaders. In Massachusetts Claflin's major ity is greater than it was before. Tie " Ttcpuiuican cuugri'Mgiuuai ueieg;r tion is re-elected and a Legislature ,is .chosen, itliat, will re-elect Senator TVilsonnfew Jersey has come bold ly to the' rescue. Two Congress men have been gained; but this'is not alb A Legislature has. been chosen that will send a Republican indtbr 'to Washington in place of Cattell. Delaware had a sharp fight. ,The Democrats carried the State by 500, a falling off on their part of ' nearly 3000-since the Presidential election. In Maryland, some of the Republicans didn't like to have the negro vote with them, but that feel ing will wear off in a couple of years, and. in 1872 we. shall expect some ConKressmch from that State. We gain a little' in Lousiana, but lose in Alabama and' Arkansas, owing to the re-constructed rebel vote Two Senators and two" "Representatives are thus lost. Florida and Kansas stood the, fight boldly, and were faithful to. Republicanism, notwith standing, rebel terrorism in the former, and a LaborRcform ticket in the latter. In 'New York the Republicans, as the Tribune says.arc numerous "en- ougVfor one' successful party, ,but not for two," and deserve their de- feat. Through harmony they might have had it all their own way. Through splits and non-voting, they lost four districts that gave us from l,700to 2.700 majority in 1868. The nati6nal election law worked well,i.and we .have to thank Presi dent Grant's faithful execution of it for the most quiet election the city lias known for years, with the few est frauds, and consequently the smallest Democratic majority. The Democrats counted upon a net gain of twenty-two members of Congress- Instead, they only gain eighteen members, while the Repub licans gain six, making their net gain but twelve or fifteen, giving them the Missouri Free Traders, Reduction of taxation, reduction of expenses, will be the mission of the next Congress, .And if the work is well done, to suit the best inter- 'csts of the country and not the schemes of politicians, it will be safe'to expect a complete Republi can victory in 1872. NO SIGN OF PEACE. There now app'ears to be less chance for peace than at any time since the--war began. The move ment of Russia cannot but be the re suit of careful consideration, -and will at least serve to stimulate to still further effort the French, who arc already sufficiently encouraged by 'their recent.successes. Rut Eng land cannot quietly submit to havC Russia abrogate tho.treaty of Paris, and altogether the good hopes of peace entertained a week ago must "be postponed until war shall deso late all Europe. San Domingo. Alter ail tnc united btates may lbse'theprize of San Domingo, such as it is. . There seems to be some .foundation for the statements that Bismarck is negotiating for this island, and that the people are ready fqr annexation to Germany, if the United States will not take them. It is probable that the scheme to annex San Domingo will gain sup porters on account of this move ment, if only to head off another European power from gaining a foot hold in, America.

In a large number ofthe old. re liable Democratic counties' fn north western Ohio, the Democrats are be coming disgusted with the adminis tration' of their party; and are elect ing Republicans to office; In Au glaize and 'Henry counties, Republi can Sheriffs have been elected; in Hancock a Republican' . .Treasurer was chosen at the last election, and in Wyandot they elected a Republi can County Commissioner. In many other counties this has been the, case, anennsome "where -ihirmajortties heretofore have been upwards of one thousand' the Democratic majorities this year have dwindled down to a mere .nominal figure., The fact of it is the people are getting tired' of Democratic extravagance and mis rule, and are strongly, inplinedo in augurate a change. Patience has ceased to be a virtue, and we may look for a toppling over of these old rotten administrations throughout the State next year which will cause a shaking among these Democratic dry bones that will be highly amiis ing. The people are waking up, and fossilized Democracy had better take the alarm and; stand from under. THE RAILROAD.

St t In a recent speech, Senator Trum bull declared that the national bank ing systeih.is not only the best we have ever had, but that, its privil eges made free, it would supply the country with a currency everywhere the same, and upon the whole, better than Government greenbacks.

NATIONAL BANKS. Another Letter from Gen. Hazen. New York; Nov. 10. The Eve ning Mail has another letter from General Hazen. That distinguished officer says: The Prussians arc bringing "up about two thousand siege guns, including the big Krupp gun exhibited in Paris in 1867. It will take them some time to get these guns in position. If Paris will not then surrender it must ac cept the consequences. rot one gun has j-et been fired into Paris, nor will one be fired until there is enough in position to make it mad ness for the French to acceptthe German fire. The Germans are cer tainly a most remarkable people. They never return the fire of the French, nor appear .in conspicuous places to draw fire upon themselves. They arcalvrays forbearing; and al ways havo a kind word-fbr-any one- They have aonevery little pillaging, only taking by requisition whatever was needed for military purposes.

To the Editor ofthe Toronto Globe: Sin The recent display of auro ra at Toronto were remarkable for their deep red color. In answer to many inquiries with reference to the cause of this color, I'will give an account' of several ob servations of these displays. I find indications that the light is due to the passage of- the polar light through a 'stratu m of minutely divid ed meteoric matter, just as the rays of sunlight appear red when pass ing through atmosphere loaded with smoke. The. conclusion is' partially con tinued by an experiment made by myself on the evening of October 24." On this occasion the bright red light was succeeded by' the 'usual gray mist. o frozen vapor, which increased in density to a very unusu al extent Feeling sure' that this densc'matter must be" falling to the earth, I at once thoroughly cleaned a glass' slide, and exposed itjn an elevated position. After one hour I- examined the exposed surface with a powerful microscope, and was delighted to find that the slide had received and retained hundreds of small bodies, uniform in size and appearance, and easily distiniruish- ed'from dust and other objects usu aHy.found in the atmosphere. They are spherical, soim, nrmiy attached to the glass, and about ,one-5000th of an inch m diameter,or about one half the size of the human red blood globule, What arc these little bodies? Where! and how do they originate? I think we may be able, partially at least, to answer these questions. space, in the regions of auroral currents, certainly' is filled by our own atmosphere in sl rarificd condi tion.

Heavy battles were fought on Wednesday and Thursday last, near Orleans, in which the Prussians were driven from that place with a loss of about two thousnnd on the French side, whilstthat ofthe Prus sians was much larger. Over a thou sand prisoners were taken, together with a large amount' of ammunition. The hottest of the fight was at Col mier on Wednesday. On Friday General Trochu began preparing for a grand sortie, and the French troops at Lj-onswere advancing toward Par is. On the other hand the main body of the Prussian forces recently before Metz, was reported marching south. If all these forward move ments continue many days, there must be a'speedy collision and some desperate fighting, possibly before the bombardment opens. On the rusultof that fighting will doubtless depend the question of bombard ment. Monda3-s news makes more per ceptible the object of the' French in their movement from the Loire northward. The French army, or ganized on the Loire had reached dimensions much larger than that under General Von derTann, which lay along its front, But portions of the armies that had invested Stras bourg and Metz were hastening "from the east and northeast to rein force Von dcr Tanh, and when, the junction Tvas formed there was little doubt that a decisive blow would be struck at the French- army of the Loire. To prevent this the. French commander decided to attack Von der Tann before the reinforcements reached him, to crush him-if poss ible, or at all events to 'prevent junction with' the troops of Prince Frc derick Charles. The hope was that these armies, if kept apart, be beaten in detail, and the victorious French army be enabled to march to Paris aild attack the Prussian investing line in the rear, whilst Trochu with a formidable force made a concurrent attack from the city, with the purpose of breaking through the Prussian lines and raising the siege. So far the scheme' seems 'to" be" working well. Von der Tann and his "Bavarians have been pushed back along'the line.of the Paris railroad from Or leans to Toury, a distance of twen ty miles, or one-third the way to Paris. One account claims that the retreating Germans attempted to fall back in the direction, of Chateau Neuf and Montargis, with the pur pose of meeting the advancing" re inforcements, but they were turned back and compelled to take the road to Paris.. This is doubtful, as' had the Germans retreated in the direc tion indicated, instead of falling back along the railroad, the road to Paris would have been uncovered. The forces of Prince Frederick Charles are not expected, by the French, to arrive until the 15th, and it is the apparentpurpose of the Frenchto follow up their success by an attack on Von derTann at Toury before that time. , A battle at that point was expected on Snnda3', the French army being about to move from its position at Chevilly. The bridges have been broken and roads obstructed on the route of the Ger man troops coming from the cast, un the rrussian side there is reticence as to movements past; or prospective. The only intimation of importance comes from Versailles. to the effect that Paris will not be bombarded, as it is known that in less than a month it will have to sur render through hunger. The ac tive movements of the French armies outside also convey the impression that if Paris is to be saved from surrender through famine the relief must'eome quickly. At this critical juncture in French affairs the attention of Europe is called to another direction. Russia, acting, it is believed, in understand ing with Prussia, has notified the Powers of its intention to repudiate the treaties of 1856 and 1866, and to send ships of war through the Bosphdrus and Dardanelles, an act in direct contravention of those treaties. There is much hurrying of special messengers between the European capitals consequent on this announcement, and every ap pearance of a general disturbance of the peace of-Europe. Turkey an nounces its readiness to meet the crisis, its army and navy being in good condition. If all parties "mean business" the war news from Europe will soon be exceedingly interesting. Strange Phenomenon. A. singular aud almost'.incredible meteorological phenomenon is de scribed in the Mobile Mcaisler of .November 3d, which gives, it on testimony of several unimpeachable witnesses. For several davs there fell unon n portion of the Catholic ccmctry, on Stone street, above the Three-mile creek, a steady but gentle shower of ram, though the sky was entirely clear all the time. For five days a shower of rain fell without ceasing, sometimes in quantities not enough to lay the dust, but at times it rain ed quite hard. The rain fell upon an eclosure in which arc buried thirteen of the Lcmoine family, and fell no where else. Outside of this enclosure not a drop of rain fell m the live days, and the sky was bright and clear. The Jlegfstcr says : "There arc so many who can vouch for the truth ol Jlr. Lcmoine s statement, and his character for ver acity is such, that there can no longer be any doubt of tlc fact that has been raining for the past five days on the graves of his kindred.'' ihe survivors evidently look upon the occurrence as- a special miracle lor the hcnciit ol their departed rel atives. If the phenomenon is sub stantiated, we may expect a good deal of scientific dicussion of the cause. a a a a Bishop Simpson has declared in favor of woman suffrage, and thinks the fll reformation of society will not ba attained until women rote. at Nitro-Glycerine The most appalling accident that ever occurred in Northern Ohio was the explosion of eight tons of nitro glycerine Tat Fairport, on Tuesday evening, Nov. 8. THE MAGAZINES. storage nitro-giycenne when ready for market and awaiting shipment, were located on the west bank ofthe riv er, four or five hundred feet from the water's edge, and twice that dis tance from the lake. These two magazines, which were abort a hun dred feet apart, contained on Tues day, sixteen thousand pounds of nitro-glycerine, packed in stone jars, holding about sixty pounds each. Tuesday afternoon three men, Nelson Malone, Patrick Scribner and Edward Duncan were engaged in transferring glycerine from the jars, to cans, preparatory to ship ment- The elder. Malone, father of the first named, over sixty years of age, who was employed as a man of all work auout the establishment was engaged in digging for the foundation of a .third magazine, a short distance from the others. A number5 of jars had been re movedifrora one of the magazines, and that portion of the contents which was in a sufficiently liquid state, transferred by pouring into the cans. That part which was fro zen if was necessary to' "thaw out." and the. three men at the time ofthe explosion were engaged in carrying these jars down to the river, to be transported to the east side for that purpose. Suddenly, at a quarter beforc five o'clock, the people: in that vicinity, and, indeed, for many miles around, were startled byTa fearful report, as if a score of cannon had been dis-i charged simultaneously, and atitho same instant, the rattle of broken glass, the tumbling of chimneys and such a shaking of buildings that iney nearly leu to pieces. From past experience; everybody in Fair port knew what it was, and the ter rified people rushed from their houses into the streets,, appalled wun iear. Immediately following the cxplo sion an immense mass of sand and the debris of jars, cans and maga zines, ascended to the height of two or three hundred, feet' accompanied by a dense cloud iof smoke, the whole illuminated by the blaze of the burning glycerine, presenting the appearance of-a bright orange coior, xnis continued but for a mo ment or two, and then the smoke slowly drifted away upon the breeze auuaiummj qnietias ii no such thing as .nitro-glycerine had. ever been' discovered. "Witnesses say uiai me sigiit was learluUy grand, uc explosion oi tne second maga zme, caused by the concussion of the first was so nearly simultancou that many persons aver there was but one report. Others are uositiv they heard two distinct reports with but a second or two intervening. It was known1 that four men were at work near the magazines, and the tnought ol them sent a thrill of hor ror through every breast Not the slightest sign "of them was discern- able. In a short time, when the terror of the citizens had somewhat abated, the small boats were filled with people and rowed rapidly across tuo river to, tne scene or disaster. Here and there they found small fragments of flesh and bones seared and blackened, and these only were leis.to ten tne leanui tale or death, mi. ... . . . xiic enect-,upon tnese men was one of the most wonderful features oi tne explosion. They were not merely killed, they were literally blown to atoms! In the fast crather- ing darkness but a mere handful of these lragments could be found, tlm largest being a piece of rib, three or four inches in .length. On Wednes day morning the search was renewed and within .a radius of five hundred icetfrom the magazinesi.wcre col lected enough of these ghastly rem nants to fill, perhaps,, a half bushel measurcand this was all that was left of these four men. ry'I. . m , ,, xua eneci upon tne magazines was wonderful: Of the frame struct ures only- a handful of splinters were anywhere to be seen. It seems as it the wood must have been con sumed, or the pieces blown so far that no one, has yet found them. The force of the! explosion nenn- trated deep into the earth, heaving out uuge, masses oi sand, and be low this, huge masses of clay. The holes, wljich must have beeii blown out to the depth of fiftv or sixtv feet, soon filled with water up to the level of the; lake. They are forty urmijacei m mameter at the top, and seem like craters of extinct vol canoes, a wo of three sveamor, trees which stood near the matra- zmes were scathed and rent limbs were wrenched, off,, and all covered with, sand and blackened as if swept u uery toruauo. , THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION doubtless never be known, as an inowieage upon this point per- ioucu witu me uniortunate victims. It is thought.bv some that it TT1J1V have been caused hv the accidental striking together.of two of the stone jars.Trhich the men were engaged in imuuung. unatevcr it, may have ueen, tue occurrence affords a fear- 1UI illustration of the tremendous power of this substance. A Country Without Greenbacks. The Overland Monthly tells how the Mormons manage to get along witaout green Dacks. Hundreds 'of fanners, living in rcasouably comfortable circum stance, and having largo families to clothe and educate, will not see a dollar in money for years. Such a farmer wishes to purchase a pair of snoes io,r ins who. lie consults the shoemaker, who avers his willins- ncss to furnisji the same for one load of wood.
