. THE ELECTIONS on Tuesday augur | (3 glorions demoeratic vietory next vear: Our reasons for this statement \ are briefly these: In 1867.the Demod. erats ‘were generally saccessful, but | thie year following they were terribly | beateny "lu,lS?l;dem_ocrzi_tic viéé(}l'jés l were a ébmi’pon'occm‘_i‘end‘c : l;lxt‘">fl_lg‘ vear following Grantism swept thel ,whole country. ' This year the Republicans have been generaliy successful, "

and according to the above rule, they will be hopelessly defeated in 1876..

- THE ELECTION RETURNS are not what they shoujd % Massacliusetts: faited to re-elect Gov. Gaston; New York did not give proper-encourage-menf to the gallant champions of refo;m];; Pennsylvania foolishly upiheld corruption by elecfing‘;ﬂzu‘t' nitand Rawle in preference to the"gﬁ'e and gifted Pershing and the reformer Piolette; Wisconsin faltered in her suppqit_of the Reform Goverfior ‘thylfﬁr. Maryland /and Mississippi, on'{he other hand, bravely upheld the democratic banner.| All honor to these commonwealths! e ;

It BEHOOVES the apologists of that poor rag baby to opén their batteries .upon the Macon (Georgia) Tele--graphfor disseminating the sentiments é?ﬂ}odiegt,iﬁ; the subjoined quotation: ' |“As we have been fearing for some days, Democracy has gone to the devil with a rush, and Radicalism is more alive right now than it has been any - day in eighteen months. The defeat of the Democracy has brought the White House once: more -in'sight of ithe Jacobins. Tor this “fesult the Ohio Demiocrats aresolely respopsible. They threw away or ignored issnes that gave them thirteen outof twenty Congressmen, and a majority of nearIyi gS,OOO last year, and took up one that ‘places themr on the defensive from the jump.

+ . CONCERNING the 'St&bé% elections held last Tuesday; the World of that . date regarded ..ghé contests in seven , States of interest and importance. In . almost.every State wliich held an. elecstion adifferent issue wasraised. There was not, properly speaking, a central and - conspicuous issue, such as last _year was found in:Grantism, Butler~ism, ?Cr,'edit-l\lo‘billiér» and salary-grab-bing, and which brought about the tidal wave of 1874: The only subject - of general interest~that could be rais—&d in these electioms is that of the cur- . Yency. Of the siX¥ States wihere the _“party platforms take cognizance of tlie . financial questigll, . both Demniocrats . and Republicans in fite—New Y ork, +| Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesot, + and Wisconsin—are the Hard Money, - whil¢ in PEmiSylvania the emrrency j'iluesfion has lost significance through the defeat in Ohjo and the presence of a'more important home issue. In New York the question to be decided was as to administrative ref%i:m; in Pennsylvania it was whether or not the Treasury shall be gaved from a corrupt.ring; Massachusetts tells pre- " cisely what of strength remains to . Radicalism in its birthplace and " stropghold; Minnesota and Wisconsin gave the same answer as tothe North~west, shaken by the contests of 1873 and 1874, while Mississippi will show whether there is-salvation for the three% most sadly oppressed of the * Southern States.: ; e

There were three tickets in nomination: the:Democratic which supported John Bigelow for Secretary of State, the Republican, supporting Frederick W. Seward® and the Prohibition, whose nominee for the same office was George B. Dusinberry. The Liberal Republicans supported the democratic ticket. Last year the Demoerats elected Governor Tilden by a majority of 50,312; the year previous the Repu‘bliczms elected their Controller by a majority of 4,065. All parties favor specie résumption in their platforms. The great question was whether Gov. Tilden is to be sustained in his warfare against the corrupt canal Ting. ~ The Democrats implicated .in the latter did their very best to defeat the democratic and elect the republican ticket. On the other ‘hand, mauyf'honest Republi-c_ans openly advocated the election of the democratic ticket as an endorsement of Gov. Tilden’s vigorous fight for reform.

- MINNEAPOLIS LETTER. To the Editor of The National Banﬁer: - The Latin poet, Horace, advises au-. thors, in cheosing a subject to vv’vr’xte_ upon, to “select one just equal to their strength, and to ponder long and deeply what their shoulders will bear.”— Had Horace lived in America in the 19th century, when every cross-road boasted a newspaper, and when every third boy, whoig pitch-forked through a course in the 'district school, comes. out “with all his blushing honors thick upon his vacant head,” ambitious to have his nafne'and productions appear in print, he would have advised such to “prolong - ponder ever.” - In writing these letters to the BAN~NER 1 have but two objects in view: one to instruct, if possible, the reader the other to amuse, it possible,, myself. In the prosecution of two objects so pre-eminently unselfish and praiseworthy (?) 1 trust I shall not prove myself an “unmitigated bore” to the reader, or lay myself open to the stinging sarcasm hurled by the poet, Lessing, at the gay old lad who, designed by nature for ashoe-maker, was trained for the literary profession.

IN CASTING ABOUT FOR A SUBJECT, The greatest difficulty that “hedges me in” is the fear that I will not make a proper selection out of the multiplicity of 'items prominent in this locality.

-If I were only a “localizer,” instead of a bloated (%) and distinguwished (?2) special correspondent, what a field of amazing richhess would I have here to'“browse” in. I could send you seventeen letters a week filled with thrilling accounts of run-aways, fires, aceidents, domestic infelicities, coroner’s inquests, blil'glztries, high-way robberies, and an- occasional cold-blooded murdey, There is nothing in_the whole range of human expediency quite so effective for hashing up arms and legs as a busz saw: We have hundreds of them here and they do up the business, almost daily, with -neatn?;ss and dispatch; nothing so dexterous for nipping off finger-ends as planing machines or Middlings Purifiers. We have hundreds of them here and do this thing with a regularity and efficiency quite monotonous. Nothing that furnishes superior facilities_for men to drop and grind themselves to powder, than the half dozen tall chiurch spires, and the towers of our new susJpension bridge now in lix'dce‘ss of completion. ,Wheu a(f)ciden_ts fail us, then the ingenuity and skill of one or more of our mtizepns shines forthin all their fiendishness, to keep the news items from growing stale. One woman takes the tea-kettle and pours boiling water down | her paddies’ neck. Another takes the tea-pot, for a change, and imitates the former in manner if not in matter. A third applies “cold pizen,” and thus the “crimingl kettle boils”"— week in and week out. -

- A COLD-BLOODED MURDER was committed in this city about noon of Sunday, the 17th, which has fow parallels in the history of crime. Mr. James Brown, the murderer, lived with his wife and two daughters, aged respectively 16 and 13 years, at No. 1610 Bighth street, and while his daughters were at church last Sunday, Brown called his wife into the front room, locked the door, told his wife what he proposed to do, and then deliberately fired three shots from a pistol, one of which took effect in the brain‘of the victim, and proved fatal. He then went outiinto thestreet, informed some friends whom he met of the tragedy, and desired to give himself up to the proper authorities. , The following confession made to the reporters who visited the murderer in jailafter the tragedy will reveal the motive, as well as the deliberation preceeding and'dttending the act:

“I never wish to excuse myself or escape thepenalty of the law, but for the welfare of my children, to rescue them from eternal ruin, a life worse than hell, I have done this. Yesterday, about noon, I told my wife to go into the front room . with me as I wished to talk with her for the last time, that I was going to kill her. 1 had told Mr. King, at the mill, that T should do murdey, and .asked him to pray for me. But I saw no other way .to save my children. I had considered the subject thoroughly and candidly.; Sometimes I had thought to kill myself, and thought “What, andleave _my children in a worse than hell? No,' never!” 1 could not do that. After we were in the room, and I told ‘l%{xer what I should do, she begged that I wouldn’t, and promised things thjﬂ:‘ I knew she would not fulfill. Sheldenied that she had been untrue to me, and tried to escape and I shot her.'— And here the feelings of the man ov-. ercame him, and shaking with emo--tion he said: ‘I have heard it said that faithlessness will accomplish all things -and Fhelieve it is so.”” S i " The victim was the second wife of her slayer, to whom she was married 19 years ago. o A The cause given by Brown for the “deed is that his wife was not only unvaaiﬁhwful to him, but- was using every wffort to induce their danghters to enter upon a life of sin and shame. The } maurderer is an° Englishman by birth, 49 years of age, a mem‘ber of the Con‘gregational Chureh, and has been a ‘tesident of this State for 21 years,— He has always borne an irreproachable character, was faithful and conscientions in the performarce of his duty. and to those who knew him best it seems incredible that .he could have ?mmitted such a crime.

AVILLA JOTTINGS. - *The editor of the Garrett News has been in this place soliciting subseriptions,and advertising. But, judging from the small bundle received at this office’ and the uncomplimentary notice which some of our business men received‘in‘thé first issue of that paper; he could not have been very suecessful. The idea suggested to people to abandon their own county newspaper and substitute in its stead a onehorse, patent-insideé concern from another county,is not well received here, and the people very- righteously refuse to take such advice, even though the editor of the latter hurl at them all the abuse at his command. The editor of the News is greatly incensed at some of our business men hecause they do not see proper to ‘patronize him, and criticises them rather harshly for their action in this matter. He says the Avilla pedple demand conveyances to‘convey their goods, ete., to some other place, because. they refuse to subscribe to and advertisé in bis paper. But in this statement he is mistaken. If there are no business people at Garrett of sufficient enterprise to support a newspaper;why not leave and.go somewhere elsé,. ;wi_}vg:_i‘e publishing a newspaper, will pay? Leave us alone, Mr. Editor, it is not our fault that you haven’t struck a bonanza at Garrett and are compelled to go abroad for patronage to support your paper. S

W..D. Carver and Isaac Neff took a young man named William Lemper to tl)q;;:jnszlx‘re Asylum at Indianapolis last week. On arriving at the home of Lemper; thgxt" ﬁnf.or't_unate ‘young man .ixltel'x'i)gzit‘qtl the officers as to whether they‘wanted him. = They replied in the affirmative, when he led them.to a pile of straw where he picked up a coat:and drew from it & revolver, t} reatening to blow out the brains of anybody who attetapted to molest him. Considerable trouble was experienced in'disarming the lunatic. When this'was aceomplished he was hand-cuifed and after a while became perfectly rational, apparently, and expressed a desire to have the hand-cuffs removed. This request was not granted, however, until they had arrived at the gate of the asylum. From what can be learned of Lemper’s condition, he ascribes the cause of his insanity to family troubles. He claims to be rejected by his people. He is the same person who escaped from Sheriff Hough some years ago, when that officer had him ip__chai-ge and was euroute.to the asylum. Since that time Lemper has been traveling all over the United States and Cuba, and has squandered a considerable. sum of money. ~ His father is in very goed circumstances, financially. ; If anybody asserts that inflation received a check lately, he simply asserts a falsehpod. I don’t mean an inflation of the currency, however, but ot humanity. Emanuel Baum believes in inflation. He reports the arrival of a bran new boy, who made his appearance on Friday, October 22. The weight of this late arrival is said to be 128 ounces, but Uncle Henry Baum thinks it must be a mistake, and says he did n’t have his-spectacles on’ when he weighed the little fellow. I will wager a cent, however, that in one year from 'noJfW he will weigh slightly heavier, if he lives. Aug. Vogeding also claims a new arrival, in the shape of a boy weighing 176 ounces. Wonder if he did n'd make a mistake? [Cvnta o R

If those so-called demochatic newspapers that advocate the necessity of inflating the currency, published in this vicinity, claim that it is demangded by the Democrats, they don’t spedak the truth. The chances for electing a democratic President on an inflation platform, are as gnod as that of a candidate standing on: a secession platform. There are a good number of Democrats who express themselves in favor of voting for the other party ‘candidate should the Democratic Na“tional Convention attempt to force ~upon thair party the fallacious inflation theory.

A number of Union Mills women raided a saloon one day last week, and adopting the motto of Buckeye BroadAxe, used “auger suasion” and spilled the liquors on the ground. The saloon men, it is alleged, turned round and stoned the windows of one of the churches. This is ‘bold business all around and no good ever came [rom such absurd conduct.—LaPorte Argus. The Waterloo Press hasshad a view of a man in the County Auditor’s; office who spent .thiree days trying to get released from the-payment of 83 cents in taxes. That is nothing; we know of a man in- that county who has been more than three years in trying to pay less than that sum. He is the man who ought to have credit for good intentions.—Steuben Repubdlican. : ;

James Martin, a farm laborer, 80 years old, came to Térre Haute, Sunday, to see his mother, and got into an altercation with his ‘sister’s husband, John Truder,; by whom he was stabbed fatally.

- On~Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 20, the jury in the Beckelheimer case, tried in the Kosciusko Cireuit Court for the murder of Susan Ingrim, by administering to her a glass of wine strongly charged with tineture of cantharides, that he might the more easily accomplish his devilish designs upon her person, brou,‘g?ht in a verdict against the defendant, sentencing him to the penitentiary for: life. His mode of proceedure to gain the affections of the lady and gratify his sinful lusts was the most outrageous act ever perpetgated upon a human being, and although his intentions may not have been to take her life, his severe punishment is not more than sufficient for his stupidity and the enoxmity of his crime. Human life is too cheap, and until a greater value and gecurity is placed upon it by a proper punishment of those who seek and do destroy it, we may expect fiends and desperadoes to poison their neighbors and shatter their heads and bodies with bullets upon the slightest pretext.—Rochester Sentinel..

;. Terrific Storm at Goshen. Felegraphic accounts from Goshen: are to the effect that the terrific storm of Friday night will not soon be forgotten by the residents of that town ‘ ‘and the surrounding country. At 8 o’clock, we are told, a hurricane struck | the farm of Josiah Snyder, and ruined everything. .- The residence, a large j two-story building, containing Mrs. ‘Snyder And seven children, was uuroofed, chimney blown down, and the houge thrown off its foundation. The barn was entirely demiolished, the roof being lifted off and the grain scattered to the :winds. , Out-buildings were blown completely away. A wagon, left standiﬁ’g in the bz‘tr;‘i—yard.'was | dashed to pieces, and in, the morning nothing but one hub; could be found. Large orchards, filled with apple, pear, and cherry trees, were torn up by the roots, and’all carried away. Scantlings from the house of Mr. Snyder, and trees from his orchard, were found on Saturday morning one mile and a half from his residence, Forty cords of wood near the house were picked up by the tornado; and now lié scattered over an 80-acre farm. The escape ot"ers. Snyder. and family from. déatly’/is considered a miracle. The wind blew a perfect gale, causing considerable uneasiness amongst the audience of 300 persons of the elite of the town, who were assembled in the court-house listening to a lecture by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The streets and walks were flooded, and the streams swollen by the torrents. .

- A Hormble Story. | From the Middleport (O.) News.]

‘We have heard of a very distressing accident occuring in . Jackson County, West Virginia. It:was a “house-raising.” As'is customary on such occasions chickens had been killed by chopping off their heads. Two little sons of the owner of the house toibe raised saw the chickens thus guilliotined, and during the day. concluded to repeat the operation. It was just at a time ‘when the men were lifting a heavy log into its place. The father, who was holding one end of the log, casting his eyes toward the little fellows, one of whom had the ax raised to sever the neck of his brother, let go ofithe log' to save the boy, and 1t fell, killing six men, two instantly, the others living only a few hours. Theé ax fell before the father could reach the scene, severing the neck of the s@g. , Thus were seven persons hurled into eternity in a:twinkle. * e

Vircizza Crry has a population of about 12,000, nearly half of whom are miners.: It is bui]t on!the side of a mountain, or “foothill,” " of Mount Davidson, and is 6,205 feet above sea level. It lies iilnmediate- . 2 . ly above the great Comstock lode, and the.ground beneath s burrow=ed by tunnels and drifts in every direction. It is connected with the Central’ Pacific rai]roa(h. It is the principal mining center of the west and the commercial center of Nevas da. Two-thirds of the bullion produced in the United Statés is taken out of the Comstock lode. The great'loss arising from the destruction of this city is chiéfly owing to lack of fire protection. Secarcity of water 'seems to have been the only. obstacle to quenching the. flames. Examples like this are of daily occurrence and forcibly show how essential fire protection is to small cities as wdll as to large ones.

. el - E—— i i The: agrieultural returns for October show that the wheat crop of ‘ the present year is a short: one, ang.,‘ there is a marked deterioration in* quality. The average thus far reported is’ about} 80 per cent of last year’s 'productijrf. _lf this indicates the total depreciation; it amounts to nearly : 62,000,000 bushels and gives the crop at 246,000,000 bushels. In quality the crop averages 14 per cent below sound condition. The condition of the corn eropis exceptionally high. The produce exported this year falls short of 1874 about 4 pericent. The oats product 5 per cent greater than last year. The potato crop promises to be extraordinary, both 'in yield and in quality. - “Tobacco is 2= per- gent above the average. Barley is 87 per cent of last year’s crop,. and buckwheat not far from the average.

- 'Thé . Boston' Post, the leading Democratic paper.of New England, gets in-the following good and true point on the|talk about a currency based on the faith of the nation: “As coin is only of that value which it intrinsically possesses, regdrdless of the stamp put upon it, so’is the value of paper currency determined by its ready convertibility into coin: Not that it is worth anything of itself; but that.it represents agtual value; and will at any time bring it. That is: the very most that can be said for paper-money. The talk about ifs being.based on the wealth oF the country is the assignat theory right over again, leading up ‘into the air) o o 8 s o Pl

. Chief Washburn and a:detachment from the United States Secret Service have lately been watching a gang of counterfeiters who m%c,le their headquarters at Centralia, 111 A raid was made Thursday, Oct. 21st, and Washburn and his men have the whole ‘gang now in custody.— ; Their names are Nelson D. Driggs, Peter Morsth, Eva Morsth, and Ger-. trude M. Driggs. Their prelimina- i ry ‘examination will probably take' place the first of next week. The evidence of guilt isso 'strong that the counterfeitersican hardly escépe a term in the penitentiary. By the explosion of a'locomotive at Raritan Siding, on the Eastern & Amboy R. R. New Jersey, the en-. gineer, a- foreman; of a labor gang, and three othergmen were killed outright, Mondags- and thirty-three laborers were scalded, some of them fatally. A telegram says the labor-* ers occupying the caboose, uncon-' scious of danger, and, when the shock came, were scattered like leaves before a hurricane. Some of: them were blown through the roof and sides, and by the force of the explosion were lifted 20 or 30 feet into the air. ! e Lot

; Young PDevils!lncarnate. 4 Louis and William Renk, of New ‘York City, aged seventeen and fifteen years, have for some time led immoral lives and a few- months ago fled from home. Last Saturday they sent a letter to their father, at No. 49 Ludlow street, to the effect” that Detective. Kealy knew where Dick Rodney (Louis) was and could arrest him if the father would go to No. 300 Mulberry street. The letter purported to be gigned by Detective Kealey. Renk obeyed, and as soon as he had left the house his sons forced open the back door, pulled their pistols and dirk knives, and drove their brothers, into ~another room, where they locked them in. They then seized their mother, and while Liouis held her and pointed a pistol at her head, William robbed her of a gold watch, a locket and chain, and a pocket-book. Theéy then threatened to kill her and their brothers:if they attemptea to prevent them from making their escape.
