ELECTIONS. The Republicans Victorious. THE TIDAL WAVE HAS STRUCK A SAUD BAR.

The Republican majority in Ohio Amounts to Probably 10,000. Jnwa Rolls up a Grand Republican Majority of 33,000 or 40,600. At the hour of going to press the full returns had not been received, but . enough has been received to show that Baja has been elected Governor of Ohio by about 10,000 majority; that Kirkwood has been elected Governor of lowa by from 35,000 to 40.00 majority, and the new State Constitution of Nebraska is adopted, and the State carried by the Republicans by a majority -of 10,000.

Another Democratic county heard from. It is in Ohio. Its name is Brown, The defalcation is only $60,000. A lengthy review ofSherman’s memoirs, -by General Boynton, made up from official records of the War Department, is announced to appear at an early day The disapointment of an lowa man who •cutout a bee-sting and four inches of his leg, and then swallowed a pint of whisky under the impression that he had been bit. ten by a rattlesnake, was intense, and his indulgence in a second pint would have -been pardonable. Now, let’s try him again and see if he knows. Prof. Tice, of St. Louis, predicts that there will be terrible storms between the 9th 22nd of October. But ‘Where? Almost any fool could guess that there will be storms somewhere at that or any other time. Nasby is opposed to inflation. Ue says that four gallons of water to one of whisky may enlarge the bulk, but after all, there is only one-fifth genuine inspiration in the stuff. Then again he is decidedly opposed to any plan that would ruin water by spoiling good whisky. There is considerable philosophy in this. The last Legislature passed an act providing that the County Commissioners should make all the purchases of stationery for the county officers. Attoiney ■General Buskirk holds that the act is invalid, because it was not presented to the Governor for his signature in time. The county officers will therefore proceed as .heretofore.— Ex.

Mistakes.

It is a mistake to suppose that the supscription to a newspaper is clear gain to the publisher. He does not get his white paper for nothing—the paper is not printed for nothing—and a printer cannot live, bodily, by faith. It is a mistake to suppose that money due to this paper for subscriptinn, would be as good to us in a year as now. It is a mistake to suppose that we would not be thankful for what is due, as well as for new subscribers.

Valparaiso & Rensselaer Railroad.

[From the Valparaiso Messenger.] Fbiend Zimmerman :—Rensselaer ■wants a railroad, and wants it badly.— Beautifully situated on an arm of the Grand Prtirie, ip the midst of a splendid farming country, it is, as it were, at the back of Good Speed, completely isolated frotn the United States and the rest of Indiana, in consequence of no leading railroad line striking it on its north.— 36 miles south from Valparaiso, and 4 miles west, with a perfectly level country Intervening, a narrow guage railroad between these two points would give Rensselaer all the facilities necessary to make it as good a town as any county seat in the State. Excellent sand etone quarries contiguous, a fine white sulphur spring, and other accessories, would tend to its advantage. Now, as to the cost of such a road and its advantages. The problem has been solved as to the most economical guage for a railroad, which is proved to be the narrow guage. The right of way, in the first place, could be procured at a nominal cost, south from Valparaiso. It would be on a section line to the Kankakee river; from there only making a westing of 4 miles in 23. The grading would not cost over SSOO per mile, say for grading and bridging, S6OO per mile, making $21,600; ties and iron, $108,000; two passenger cars, SI,OOO ; 20 freight cars and flats, $7,000 ; freight and passenger houses, &c. h say SIO,OOO ; 4 locomotives, $32,000, yaking a total of $179,600 :

or a cost es. say, $5,000 per toile, and a road free from debt, owned by the men whose interest it is to run the road economically. , W 1 Every farmer on the line can have his short side track, and instead of spending the time of himself men and teams in hauling his wheat and other crops to market, he can load Lis cars and ship ft all off in a.day, taking advantage of the state of the market in short order.— Rensselaer, the townships through which the road would run, Valparaiso and the farmers along the line can accomplish this work before the first of next June, if ’they wish. Rensselaer will then have east, west, north and south connection with 3 good.roads, the P. C. & St. L., the P. F. W. & C. and C. & L. H. Railways. They can have the advantage of the new elevator being erected here with as much advantage as the farmer living one mile from Valparaiso; and they can look forward to the extension of their line, in the near future, to Michigan City as a lumber market, and south to the coal regions. Let some of the influential men of Valparaiso and Rensselaer take hold of this project. The people will find it a paying investment. Both counties will be brought closer in interest, and Rensselaer will flourish better than if she had a leading line running through her, holding out inducements to farmers at the rate of one cent per mile on a freight train, to do their trading in Chicago, and leave the home merchants to sit on his counters, looking at his full shelves, and whistle through his fingers for the customers he ought to have, but who have gone to Chicago to get fleeced by confidence and bunko men.

Colfax.

The following essay on the career of our eminent statesman, Schuyler Colfax, was written by Miss Matie Howard, a young lady of Rensselaer, and was read by her before the National Normal School, of Lebanon, Ohio: “Mighty oaks from little acorns grow so, great men from common school-boys rise. As the tender branches of the young oak, through the instrumentality of the rootlets, increase in size, beauty, and solidity of texture, day by day, and year by year, till it becomes a mighty tree rearing its lofty head above its forest mates of more rapid growth, so did Schuyler Colfax, a boy of humble circumstances and limited school training, by earnest endeavors and diligent labor, in crease in knowledge and firmness of character step by step, till he became a man of great influence and ability. He was born in the city of New York, in 1823, during the administration of Monroe. His career as a student* was transient, being completed at the age of ten —owing to the death of his father, and the limited means of his mother.— He was sent to the common schools of the city, and while there labored so diligently that he was soon promoted to the high school, where he spent the last two years of his school life. His mother marrying again, Schuyler was compelled to act as clerk in his step-father’s store nntil thirteen years of age, when the family emigrated to Indiana and settled in the village of New Carlisle. Here, again young Schuyler seved as cleik in a common country store; but while he was thus engaged his education was advancing also ; his spare moments were occnpied in reading and studying. He was familliar with the political world and the duties and rights of citizens, and at the age of seventeen he was appointed Deputy Auditor. He then moved to South Bend in order to devote his time better to the fulfillment of his official duties.

It was at this period he began the study of law, and like a true American and Western citizen, he took a practical interest in politics. He was a deep thinker, and by the time he was able to vote, he had published his political views from time to time in the county paoers. His faculty of dealing justly and pleasantly with all classes of men. his natural sobriety and his truthfulness, and clearness of expression, gained for him many friends, and a good reputation for information, and as a good writer. He was employed for two years to report the proceedings of the State Senate to the In dianapolis Journal, and in this he reaped a similar reward. At the age of twenty-two he established a weekly paper called the St. Joseph Valley Register, of which he was both editor and proprietor. It was characterized as being uselul, interes ting, and morally pure; free from the masses of vile detail which so many of our papers to-day, of respectable position’s, contain. In politics he supported the Whig party till its death, when, quoting Mrs. Stowe, ‘dike all of its members of clear heads, progressive tendencies, and decided characters, he joined the Republican party.” But prior t o this he had risen to considerable eminence and influence as a Whig, and had been as a delegate to the National Convention, both to Philadelphia and and to Baltimore, where he was appointed secretary each time. In 1850 he

became a member of the Indiana Constitutional Convention, in which he proved himself to be a judicious legislator, a ready debater,"tod a fine speaker. In 1845-he was dected by -the newlyformed Republican party us Bcpresontative in Congress, and he was re elected for several terms. During the thirtyfourth session, when the “Nebraska bill was pending, the members were composed of the men, thr Administration men, and the Know-Noth-ings ; all of whom were debating and wrangling in regard to a Speaker. At that very critical moment, when the position was almost ready to be delivered over into the hands of a Southern man, who had all the Democrats and the whole South on his side. Mr. Colfax, who was an energetic vibdicator of right, arose and made a motion which seemed to be just the right thing in the right place, and which resulted in the election of an Anti-Nebraska man, and preserved our nation from utter degradat.on. It was during the same session that hemaderhis famous speech on the “Bogus Laws of Kansas ” In the thirty-eighth Congress he was elected Speaker, which position he occupied until 1867/ The Republican Convention at Chicago, in 1868, nominated him Vice President of the United States, amd being the successful candidate, he was inaugurated iu and took his place as President of the Senate, wherj he served faithfully and satisfactorly for four years. In 1873 he was implicated with the charges of corruption brought against the members of Congress who had shares in a speculation in some railroad scheme which was connected government bonds of the Pacific Railroad, known as the Credit Mobilier. He was examined repeatedly by a committee appointed to investigate the subject and their final report was made in .February declaring that the impeachment was groundless, that the alleged offense of bribery, if committed at all, was before he became Vice President. The truth of it was this : Colfax had been led into the speculation without knowing its character, but as soon as he ascertained its nature he dropped it and would have nothing more to do with it ; though the fact of his being connected with it cast a shadow on his character, especially among the Democracy, for they were very jealous of him. and anything they could produce against him, whether just or urjust, they are and always have been, ready to hurl at him in order to destroy the power he had wielded in the affairs of the government. His influence upon the nation has been marked, though his duties have not been so brilliant in their nature as the deeds of some of our great commanders, yet they have been such as to require the greatest courage, forethought, justice, and untiring industry, and few men of his position have wielded a greater or better influence. The city of South Bend and our own State (Indiana) feel proud to claim such a noble character as a resident, and we ihink, had it not been for the slander of the Credit Mobilier, he would undoubtedly have been our next President.

Tip™ MW STORE. THE GREAT AMERICAN EXPLORER, MAJOR MUCKLESWORTH, lias been heard from. The last account we had of him was up to the 17th day of March, 1875, in latitude 41 j degrees west longitude from Washington where he bad encountered Deaooxa Tubbs and bis and after three days of hard bombardment had captured him and his whole party, and —now have them confined in theMew Urick Building on Hie South Sicle~of IVashiiagton Street, Ao. 1004. one door east of F. J. Sears & Co’s dry goods store. The Deacon and his party made a gallant resistance at the old stand on the north side of the street, but the Major was a lit- • tie too strong for him and captured him and his subordinates, Lieut. Meyer and Will Young Peri,grim was wounded by an accidental discharge of Meyer’s piece, but. young Perigrim, nt last accounts, was doing well; lie was using KADWAI’S READY RESOLVENT for his Blood, one bottle of WALLACE’S BITTE 8 for his Digestive Organs, and three boxes of M’ALERTER'S ALL HEALING S-ALVE for his wound. It is thought by his nurse that he will recover. The Major, in the long exposure with Deacon Tubbs, cheering on his men, took a severe cold which settled in his throat, but by using a bottle of Dr. Harding’s Celebrated Cougti Mixture. we are happy to inform the public that he is able to be out again, and at the NEW BRICK STORE compounding Drugs and Medicines, where the Deacon and the Major are found at all times dealing out Medicines to their numerous.Custcmers.
