nine out of tea of the counties of the
State have chosen Republican officers.
A Senator is to be elected in the place

Maryland elected tho Democratic

will elect a Senator in the' place of
Hamilton, whose term expires in 1875.
In Minnesota the full Republican
State ticket was elected by about 10,
000 majority. The Legislature may
be classified as follows: Senate Re-
Sublican, 27; Opposition, 14. House
publican, 00; Opposition, 45. - Ma
jority on joint ballot, 28. Republi
can loss from last year, 49. The Op
position gain 8 votes in the Senate,
which will count against Ramsey's re
election. Massachusetts elected the entire

12,000 majoritj'. Henry L. Pierce was
elected to Congress in the Third Dis
trict without much opposition.
In New York tho Democratic State
ticket was elected, by. about 10,000

tion of a few vacancies in the Legis

in a majority of the counties without
regard to oartv affiliations. In some
counties stright Republican and Dem
ocratic tickets were run, and in other
, counties Farmers, Independent, and
Anti-monopoly candidates were in the
field. In niauy counties the .Repub
licans united with the farmers, and in
others the Democrats joined with
them. The Republicans and their al
lies carried more Democratic counties
than did the Democrats and their
anPDorter. A careful analysis of the
returns thus far received shows that
with the light vote polled the Repub
licans maintained their usual ascend
ency. Among the interesting features
of the contest were those for School

EejaMal te the Emergency.
The following extract from an edi
torial in the Inter-Ocean of the 11th,
contains wnae and pith,' and should be
heeded by every Republican, who haB
the best interest of his country and
party at heart: " -
Hitherto during its whole history
the Republican party has proved itself
equal to every emergency. That it will
meet squarely and manfully the econ
omic demand of the hour m it met the
terriblo exigency of war and the more
.' delicate questions of emancipation and
reconstruction, there is no room to
doubt. There is chaos in finance,
trade, and commerce. So far as gov
ernmeutal aid is to be invoked to
bring order out of this chaos it inust
be sought at tho hands of the Repubr
lican party. To parp at the party in
power in an emergency like the pres
ent is to betray an infidelity to the
well-being of the country, no whit
less reprehensible than the want of
patriotism displayed by the Democrats
of the North during the late war, in
giving moral aid and comfort to the
rebellion. Northern men vehemently
'declared then that the South could
not be eoaquered; Democratic con
ventions resolved that the war was a
failure, and demanded a cessation of
hostilities with a view to the patch
ing up of a dishonorable peace. Lib
eral, Democratic, and Independent
newspaper editors sneeringly assert
now that the Republican party is cor-
A. J -1 J 1 aT i a
rupi, ueuascu uy me tyranny oi cau-
cus, and demoralized by local defeats,
ut ag neither denunciations nor
... i j., a . , , r
resolutions had the effect todeferthe
. " "
country from giving to the Republican
party a hearty support then in its
prosecution of the war, so now, neither
the cowardly falsehoods nor the baee-
i less insinuations against the patriotism
honor, and integrity of the great party
of the nation, uttered by reckless
journalists and disappointed politi
cians, will cause the people to with
draw from it the earnest support nec
essary to the fulfillment of its mission
as the conservator of the economic in
terests of the country.
The situation is grave enough to
excite feelings of apprehension in the
minds of all who are brought in con?
tact with the currents of trade, now
prostrated and in danger of entire
collapse. The people look anxiously
to the reassembling of Congress as
the only source of relief. To intimate
that the Republican majority in that
body possesses neither the virtue nor
the capacity to devise and apply a
remedy, is to declare that trade and
commerce must continue to languish
until the stagnation in every depart
ment is complete, for if a Republican
Congress cannot solve the problem it
must remain unsolved. It therefore
behooves Republicans to strengthen
party lines in order that the moral
force of public sentiment behind the
majority in Congress may be exerted
with the greatest possible effect. A
great work opens before the approach-
inc session of Gongress; the value of
party discipline, or the demoralizing
influence of the wrangles of faction,
will find illustration in the manner in
which the Republican party in the
national legislature shall meet and
grapple with economic questions de
manding prompt attention. One of
those great opportunities, of which the
Republican party has had many,
awaits the assembling of Congress. Let
Republicans everywhere strengthen
the hands of their representatives bo
that, sure of confidence and support at
home, they may legislate fearlessly and
wisely.
LMk sip Fsmers!
Ninty-aix milions of bushels of
wheat, says the Mark Lane Express,
will be needed by England this
year from other countries to make
up the deficiency of food arising
from the failure of the potatoes
and shortness of her grain crop.
France, instead of exporting wheat,
is expected to need 48,000,000 of
bushelo. Thus, altogether, it is be
lieved these two countries will need
144,000,000 of bushels. Even rye
and barley, yet much used in
Farnce for human food, are also
deficient in that country. Our
farmers have the brospect of a
0od foaeign demand for their
groin.
The prospects of the Republic con
tinue to brighten in France. It is not
at all unlikely that now, after the
monarchical cause has become hope
less, the Left may make seven or eight
more converts among the trimmers,
and thus turn the tables upon their
opponents. It is the purpose of the
Left to induce the Assembly to appeal
to the people, and in this they will, of
course, have the support of the Bona
partists. The justice of the point
raised by M. Grevy, that the Assembly
is incompetent to create a longer exe
cutive tenure than that possessed by
itself, is unanswerable, and must ulti
mately be conceded by all. At any
. rate, the crisis and the danger of a
collision seem to be past.
And Still Another. A Sullivan
ilnd.) correspondent of the Terre
Iaute Journal gives an account of a
recent interview with a man by the
name of Russell, in that county, who
is nearly 120 years old. This old
gentleman was born in Maine, can
speak six different languages fluenty,
has smoked tobacco for more than a
hundred years, and chewed and took
snuff "off and on." He gave 1 no' ex
cuse for having lived bo long, and we
- suppose the correspondent forgot to
ask him.

too good to be entirely forgotten:

For the Palladium.
Aa Unlqae Sward Preavntatioa.
'Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father which is in heaven is
perfect. "
'Take heed that Je do not your
alms before men, to be seen of them;
otherwise re havo no reward of
your Father which is in heaven.
"Therefore, when thou doest thine
alms do not sound a trumpet be
fore thee, as the hypocrites do, in
the synagogues, and in the streets,
that they may have glory of men.
Verily I say unto you, they have
their reward.
"But when thou doest alms, let
not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth;
"That thine alias may be in secret,
and thy Father which seeth in se
cret, Himself shall reward thee
openly," Christ's sermon on the
Mount
When anything is done in the
presence of the public for the sake
of letting the public know about it,
and when anything is done in a
public congregation in the most
conspicuous, ostentatious, and
pompous manner for the sake of
making an impression, it becomes,
by right, the proprty of the pub
lic and the subject of criticism;
therefore I make n o apology for
this article, though. I crave the kind
indulgence of the editor of the
Palladium in allowing me the space
I want at preeeit; a friends mind
will be easier thereby.

When any class of people during
a religious excitement set aside in
dividual responsibility and declare
that "the Lord is running the meet
ing," there is some danger of lay
ing too much on tho Lord; and if
the Holy Spirit is to answer for all
the vainglorious, silly things that
poor mortal min is devigp, jt may
be a good thing for the silly mor
tals, but it is certainly taking un
warranted liberty with the. Holy
Spirit.
We have many accounts of sword
presentations in by gone times that
where appropriate to the occasion,
and had a meaning that could "point
a moral or adorn a tale," but this
last sword presentation that claims
the attention of the Christian, and
heathen, and Mahommedan world
caps the climax of all that has pre
ceded it, and is as remarkable for
eccentricity as uniqueness; there is
nothing coincident with -it in the
past, and as it has no model, let us
hope it will never have a copy.
At the timo that Cornwallis wise
ly concluded it was time for him to
"turn his back" on the United Col
onies and surrendered to Washing
ton, that man who could not tell a
lie when he was a boy, handed tho
sword back to the British General
with a great deal of magnanimity,
courtesy and graco. The father of
his country knew how to behave
himself, and could get out of an
embarrassing tituatioa with manly
dignity and christian spirit. Ever
since he told the truth about the
hatchet he had been able to show a
good "hand." He held trumps that
day, and made s point !
Last Sabbath evening .when a
certain Knight Templar presented
his sword and the rest of his rega
lia to the minister for the benefit of
the heathen, and concluded hie
speech with the declaration, "I turn
my back on the world, the flesh and
the Devil," the minister was evident
ly in the condition of tho man who
was presented with an elephant, he
didn't know what to do with it
"The world, the flesh and the
Devil,' or the emblems of them,
was rather a hand full for a man of
limited experience, and afniclcd
with sanctification in the superlative
degree! Yet he listened to the pre
sentation speech as one who is well
pleased with his pupil, and took up
the sword .with a flourish, and an
attempt at dramatic jesture. Wo
were reminded of the scene in the
play of Guy Mannering, where Able
Sampson gets ready to the rescue
of Bertram, and exclaims: "Ix, I
have armed myself. I will smite
lustily! If there had been a boy
in the gallery to sing out "phodio
ous!" the burlesque would have been
complete, and the que would have
been easily taken. It is sometimes
such a short step from the sublime
to the ridiculous, from high trage
dy to low comedy.
The preacher remarked that a
sword was a queer looking thing in
Quaker meeting in time of peace.
The congregation thought so too,
especially the Sir Knights who were
present A sword was a queer
looking thing to be in any meeting
for the worship of God, unless the
congregation expected to be attack
ed by murderers. Tho preacher
said that he did not know the use
Masons made of their swords The
Masons knew he didn't, too. They
knew he couldn't see the point! If
he had been of the initiated, and
had learned the meaning of the em
blems engraven on the sword, he
would have known more and said
less. He said something .' about
beating the sword hto a plowshare.
Blacksmiths, spare that sword! The
brunished steel is too fine, and pig
iron too plenty. Let the heathen
have it ! They can use i. for a
toasting fork; it is long enough to
stick through a good sized mission
ary, and a fat baby besides.
It is suggested that if there is
another such jackassical forco to
take place at the celebrated "White
Watsr Meeting House, at the close
of the entertainment, tho wire puller
thereof shall say, "finally brethren,
let us bray!"
Allow me to venture some advice
to any who may feel it their duty to
give up a society that they may
better serve tho Lord: Go quietly
and soberly to your brethren and
tell them your convictions, dispose
of your regalia in a proper way,
pay your dues and get yoar demit,
and then "turn your back" on your
brethren, singing: - - :
"Adieu! a heart felt fomi-adu?u,
Yo brethren of the myrtle tie." - J."
But whatever you do, don't be in
fluenced against .your good sense,
by egotists and bigots 6 jny
insult the best friends you ever had,
and the memory of those who have
passed into the - eternal world; and
"beha've unseemly" or "become as
sounding brass and tinkling cym
bal." The Masons are a class of citizens
fully able to take care of themselves,
and stand in this community us
good men deserve to Stand; they
are not in need of vindication from
my humble self, yet I am filled with
6orrow and disgust at a bigot who
would tako advantage of a religious
excitement, to persuade any1 person
to do a thing which they would not
do under other circumstances, and
I am too nearly related to some of
the fraternity to hear thern "stigma
tized as "the - world, the fl?sh and
the Devil" and be silent; and besides,
a little selfishness comes ip;f as the
cold, hard winter continues, and
the panic increases, the wood pile
may get low and the flour- barrel
empty, then a friend who ':' doeth
alms in secret'' may be found who
can read and understand the Mason
ic emblems, "a heart benevolent and
kind that most resembles God," a
strong and faithful 'left hand' that
lets not tho right hand know what
it doeth, a Templar Knight Rearing

The Spragaes and tbe Crast Deed.
Concerning the deed, your corres
pondent is able tc give more explicit
information in regard to its provisions
than was given at the meetingor has
appeared elsewhere. As it' is now
made out it is proposed by the A. &
W. Spraguo Manufacturing Company,
and A. & W. Spracue, to ?ohvey of
their corporate and private property
to their trustees, by way of mortgage,
to be secured by notes amounting, say
to $12,000,000, having three years to
run, with interest payable at 7 3-10
per cent, per annum, with power re
served to pay a dividend upon the
principal on each recurrence of the
semi-annual payments. Absolute pow
er is (riven to the Trustees to sell anv
portion of the property in their discre
tion, and apply the proceeds i ratably
for the payment of the creditors. It
is also proposed by the stock holders
in the corporation to deposit with the
Trustees inajoity of the stock. of the
corporation, to be held in trust by
them, so that they, cau have, .at all
times, the power to take possession of
the management ot the corporation.
The details of the instrument are full
to the effecting of this general purpose
Power is also given to supply any va
cancies that may occur, by equitable
judicial appointment, it was prepar
ed by Esquires B. F. Thurston,
Charles Hart, James Tilfinahast, and
John A. Blood.. It is expected that
hctore it is finally delivered to the
1 rustees lull opportunity will be had
i'or the creditors, through their com-.
mittiee, to employ counsel to see that
its form is amply sufficient tp farry
out the proposition on the patt tjf. the
company and A. & W.?5praeue- -;.
The general feeling here is one "of
most complete satisfaction at the re
suit of the work, and the creditors be
lieve that they have secured to theiu
selves the claims which thev- hold.
The almost complete unanimity with
which this satisfactory result was ac
complished was perhaps as surprising
to them as to the outside public, and
the effect is to inspire confidence in
all directions. Tne Spragueso earn
estly declare their disposition to do
their utmost for the satisfaction of al
ODiigauons, ana.o eagerly express
their desire to act in harmon'y with
the' committee and the Trustees, and
to agree to anything that may be con
sidcred for the bct interests of all
that it is fully believed that .no hin
drances will interfero with the speedy
settlement ot their anairs which can
in any way be avoided by the debtor
and creditor. .Boston Advertiser.

The Cuban Murders.
The massacre by the Cuban au
thorities of the four "Patriot Gen
erals" captured on the. Virginius
was certainly n dastardy and blood
thirsty affair, but we hardly think
anybody will succeed in making a
cause of war out of it lhe Vir-
giuius was a vessel of bad character
and doubtful nationality, but aside
from all questions as to the legality
of her capture, only one of the four
persons executed claimed to be an
American citizen, and it is doubtful
if he had ever been naturiized.
Tbe four victimis were Beunabe
Yarojt alias Bembetta; General of J
Division Pedro Cespedes, Comman
ding General of Cinefuegos; Gen
eral Jesus pel Sol, and Brigadier
General Washington Etas. The
first three were Cubans, the last an
Irishman, and all rebels in the eyes
of the Cuban Government Their
execution was certainly atrocious
and disgraceful, but we see no
ground for any war or talk about
war Indianapolis Journal.
In addition to the shooting of the
above named Generals, later news con
firms the report that the captain and
crew of the Virginius were also mas
sacred by the cuban murderers. The
result is not anticipated to end in war
with Spain; but our government are.
sending war vessels to the Cuban coast

zens there," and compel the Cuban au
thorities to conduct themselves like
humane and civilized people.
Captain Hall's Death.
"Wasaington, D. C, Nov. 11. The
Star of this evening, in referring
to the stories brought by one of
the crew of the Tigress in regard
to the cause of the death of Captain
Hall, says: lt certainly will be
better for all concerned that the
entire truth should be developed
while all participants in the expe
dition of the dead leader, are with
in reach to be questioned. The
story that Captain Hall camo to
"his death by foul means should be
established or silenced beyond re
vival. - It is well known here that
Mrs. Hall, widow of Captain Hall,
who was recently in Washington,
is fully impressed with the belief
that her husband was murdered.
She has made strong appeals to our
government to send out an expedi
tion to bring the body of her hus
band home. It seems to us that
this will be the only really satisfac
tory way of clearing up the mystery,
and doing justice to both the living
and the dead. If Captain Hall
was poisoned, the tell-tale evidence
will be found upon his body. It
has been reported that though the
government may not send a vessel
solely for the body, that an expedi
tion to be 6ent out for furthur ex
ploration may call for it In this
case, of course, care should be taken
that none of the persons implicated
by rumer in the murder of Captain
Hall, should take part in this expe.
dition, or to have any opportunity
to tamper with his remains, and it
would be better, we think, to have
any further investigation a public
one. This will serve to silence
the possibility of any further cavil
as to thecaractcr and thoroughness
of the investigation.
Those wrho are rejoicing over the
defeat of the Republican party in a
number of the States would do well
to linger over th6 picture of the
Democratic successes in New York
as
thus depicted in the Daily
Graphic of Nov. 7th:
"Our people have deliberately
elected to important offices a num
ber of men who ought to be in the
State prison men whose political
trickery and moral turpitude have
been repeatedly exposed and are no
torious. Some of these men are
already under indictment for of
fenses that are crimes. Uthers are
not the less guilty because they
have managed to cover their tricks,
and with eel like slipperyness and
rapidity of movement have wriggled
out of the hands of justice. Our
people have delipertaly and with
open yes elected men to the As
sembly, benate, and other olhcial
positions, whose private characters
are base . and whose political acts
have covered their names with odi
um and infamy. We do not print
their names, because they are as
familiar to the general public as
those of the worst thieves and black
legs and pickpockets. Everybody
knows who we refer to. Men cov
ered from head to foot with corrup
tion : men whom an honest mechan
ic or merchant could not invite to
his house or be seen talking to on
the street; .men actually reeking
with suspicion and ' bloated with
ill-gotten gain, have been picked up
and put in places of trust and re
sponsibility. , And this, too, by the
votes of men who pretend to be
decent and would palm themselves
off as Reformers! Reformers, for
sooth! '
Very few hogs have yet been sold

farmers are short of corn and anx

We lake the following extract of
Mr. Baxter's address, and notice of
it from the Journal of the 12th:
"We have been preaching total
abstinence from the pulpit and the
public prints for the last thirty
jears, but our efforts havo been un
availing owing to the policy of the
government in granting licenses.
As fast as we throw water upon the
fire from one side the enemy are
keeping up the conflagration by
throwing on oil from the other. It
will be impossible to control the
liquor by licensing the sale of the
fluid. Nothing but total prohibi
tion will ever uproot it Our law
does not enforce total prohibition,
but it is a very powerful instument
though it will not work itself, and
so one can hope for it No law is
self-supporting.
"If you were to license prize
fights in this State it would not put
a stop to the brutal sport, but when
the authorities prohibit them per
emptorially it would stop them
without delay. . The same will ap
ply to the social evil and the liquor
question, and we need not hope to
abolish either until they are placed
under the ban of the law. The
temperance people of Indiana have
every advantage, they have the
strong arm of the law at their backs,
but the liquor men will make a
tremendous effort to elect a legis
latrrre which will repeal the obnox
ioua liquor law now in force, and
unless they are met more than half
way, they may prove successful.
They have raised large sums of
! money to cary on the campaign
j and have formed rich and power
I tul organizations, with a sole pur
I pose of using their utmost endeav
ors to overthrow the law. There
is no time for idleness. If the en
ergies of the American people could
only be aroused on this question as
they were aroused during the great
conflict a few years since, then we
would have nothing to fear. Slave
ry, an institution nearly as power
tul as the one with which we are
now grappling, was hurled from its
throno. Lst ua use cue - moral m
flnence of temperence in our Itattle,
and cease not the fight until victory
finally crowns our labors and
throws the ranks of the enemy into
confusion.
Mr. Baxter was loudly applaud
ed at different portions of his ad
dress,' and the audience was fre
quently moved to tears by tbe pow
er of lus utterances, it is impos
sible to convey in a brief abstract
like the above any impression of
speech of such a character as this,
where so much depends upon the
manner of delivery.
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Bax
ter's address, half an hour was ta
ken up in short speeches by mem
bers from different parts of the
State upon the condition of the
cause in the respective districts
which thev represent The meet
ing then adjourned until this morn
ing at 9 o clock.
A Car far Hard Timrs.
Ciencral bherman has been sur
prising his auditors, high and low,
by saying that the failure in rail
way, mercantile, and speculative
life are of no real consequence, and
that they ought to go on until the
conscienceless element is elimina
ted from banking and commerce.
He thinks that if sufficient of these
failures occur, we shall have an easy
money market in a few months.
The gloom that recently hung over
Memphis is fast disappearing, for the
devastating fever has almost rnn its
course. Tho weather is reported as
favorable for the sick, and the streets
are said to be again filling with usual
ciowds. Out of muck sorrow and
tribulation the survivors in the strick
en city have reached brighter days,
and will return to their accustomed
avocations with a grateful feeling in
their hearts for the humanity which
was so generously exhibited in their
behalf. . '
A human brute named Wade,
who had deliberately murdered' an
aged couple for the money he sup
posed they had in the house, was
Luna in Pennsylvania last week.
The hanging was bunglingly done.
The rope was too long, and the
culprit s feet touched the ground
Wade was again taken on the scaf
fold, and while the uheiiff was ma
king ready for a second trial, Wade
requested him. with an oath, to
hurry up, as he had aa appointment
to dine with the Devil at 2 o'clock
and did not want to be late.

San Francisco is very much ex
cited over tho discovery of inex
haustible iron deposits. Though
the mines began to attract - atten
tion a conple of years ago, the fact
that they are really of great value
was not folly established until quite
recently. In Eldorado county a
whole mountain of iron haa been
discovered, and a company to work
the ore is being formed.- It is ' ex
pected that the deposits are suffici
ently large to enable to Golden
State ; to snpply Mexico, British
Columbia, Central America, the
western coast of South America,
Australia, and the islands, with all
their needs.

ment wlU not relieve, no swelling It will
not subdue, and no lameness which it will

true. Where the parts are not gone, i is ef
fects are marvelous. It has produced more
cotes of rheumatism, neuralgia, lock Jaw,

scalds, burns, salt rheum, ear acbe, etc., tip-
on the human frame, and of strains, spavin,
galls, etc, upon animals in one year than
have all other pretended remedies since the
world began. It is a counter irritant, an
all-healing pain-reliever. Cripples throw
away their crutches, the laaie walk, poison
ous bitea are rendered harmless, and the
wounded are healed without a scar. It la
no humbug. The recfpe is published around
each bottle.' It is selling as no article ever
before sold, and it sells because it does Just
what it prof ejids to do. Those who now suf
fer from rheumatism, pain or aweUing de
serve to tatter if they will not use Centaur
Liniment. ' More than 1,000 certificates of
remarkable cures,. Including frocen limbs,
chronic rheumatism, gout, running tumors,
etc., have been received. We will send a
circular containing certlflcatea, the recipe,
etc., gratis to any one' requesting it. One
bottle of the yellow wrapper Centaur Lin
iment is worth one hundred dollars for spav

liniment Is worth your attention. No fam
