THE ELECTIONS.

EWfiona were held last Tuesday io flie State* of New York,. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts. New Jersey, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Maryland and Mississippi. As was predicted in these columns a few weeks ago, every Northern state was carried by the repub licam by largely increased majorities. In New York, where the greatest interest centered, Ihe lesult is exceedingly gratifying to the republicans. • Cornell, their candidate for governor, is elected by a plurality of over 43,000 votes, and their entire state ticket was triumphant (with perhaps the exception of Soule, .candidite for engineer) by majorities ranging from 1,000 upwards. The republicans also have a decisive majority in each branch of the' legislature. This is indeed a glorious victory of right, over wrong—hohesty over fraud and dishonesty. In Pennsylvania the republican victory surpasses all expectations. Instead of carrying the state by only 30,000, as the most sanguine republicans had expected, they made a- clean sweep of everything by nearly 60,000 majority. The old Bay State records her verdict for jnsrice and humanity, and buries that old political renegade, Ben. Butler, under a majority of at least 17,000. New Jersey elects a legislature republican iu both branches. Connecticut fob lows suit with a republican legislature, by a largely increased majority. In Wiscousin the republicans make good the predictions of the late Senator Chandler, electing Smith governor by about 22.000 majority. Minnesota is also carried by the republicans by a handsome majority. Nebraska elects Amasa Cobb, the republican candidate for Supreme Judge, by a satisfactory majority. Maryland goes democratic as usual. In Mississippi the shot-gun policy was again . victorious..

The result of these ejections is sufficient ccuse for rejoicing among the re- ] uhlicans. «nd is a .verification of the prediction that the solid south will be ntet by a solid north. It is time the lenders of the democratic party were re alizim' this fact. Their shot gun policy will not work in a country where the right of suffrage fe guaranteed to every American citizen, regardless of race, color, or previous condition. Neither will the measures adopted by their repre- . sentatives in congress be sanctioned by a majority of the people. They have gone just a little too far and it is hoped the re suit of the elections this fall will bring them to a sense of tbe situation. One important feature in the business boom of the country is the fact that the debtor class is growing beautifully less. Good crops and fair prices will go far to relieve many who have for years been laboring under the yoke of indebtedness. Their heretofore empty pocket-books will be sufficiently inflated to enable them to lift the mortgages from their farms and stop that high rate of interest which has been sapping them of their very life blood as it were. Many who have been compelled to go in debt for the necessaries of life arq now able to liquidate and resume the cash system. In order to this era of prosperity the- peo* pie should learn to go slow, get only what is really needed,-and pay for what you get. Don’t plunge into wild speculations; don’t invest your means in something that will be of no earthly benefit to you. If you have any surplus cash invest it in something that is sure to bring a return or else lay it by in some safe place for a rainy day. By observing these suggestions you will find a healthier .financial stake of affairs prevailing, fewer bankruptcies and better and more prosperous times-generally.

Michigan City Enterprise: The United States mints have coined over forty-four millions of dollars, and have been ahle to force iuto circulation le*s than thirteen millions. The remainder is in the treasury vaults. The fiat and greenback men—what few are now left —will all be back, in their old places in the republican or democratic ranks in 1880, and the soft money issue of irredeemable paper will be a thing of the past. The yellow fever scourge in Memphis and other southern cities has run its course and retired for the season. People who left their homes to escape the ravages of the dreadful disease arc returning in large numbers, aad business js assuming its usual activity. The president has issued bis annual thanksgiving proclamation, setting apart Thursday, the 27th instant, as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer. Major General Hooker died at Garden City, Long Island, on the 31st ult. 7 aged sixty years. LI is death was sudden and unexpected! The late Senator Chandler leaves behind him a fortune estimated at $3,000,tMM). .llig annual income was $125,000.

DEATH OF SENATOR CHANDLER.

Zacharuh Chandler, United State* Senator from Michigan, was found dead in hit bed at the Grand Pacific Hotel, in Chicago, Saturday morning last. His death was caused by congestion of the lungs, brought on- by a severe cold which he contracted while speaking at Janesville, Wisconsin. The evening previous to his death be addressed an immense audience in McCormick Hall, Chicago,; which was characterised with his usual vim and earnestness. Upon retiring for the night, in speaking of the campaign, which was so near its close, he remarked that he felt relieved to think he was so near the end, little thinking that he was so near the end of his earthly career. The announcement of his death is received with universal surprise, and casts a gloom over the entire Nation. The profound sorrow manifested everywhere upon the receipt of the 6ad news has not beeu equalled since the death of Senator Morton. Mr. Chandler was born in New Hampshire, and at the time of bis death lacked little of being sixty-six years old. He moved to Michigan before he attained his majority and has been a resident of thflt state ever since. He has always taken an active part in politics, and besides holding prominent 1 positions in his own state he has been thrice elected to the United States Senate, serving in the capacity of Senator continuously for eighteen years. During all the years that Mr. Chandler has been in public life his integrity has never been questioned. He was always found upon the side of law, order and good government, and advocated the claims of his party honestly, fearlessly and boldly. In his death the republican party looses a safe and wise counselor and the nation one of its greatest statesmen. His memory, like that of Morton’s, will be cherished in the hearts of his countrymen through all future ages, and his name and fame will be as enduring as the hills. The funeral rites were performed at an early hour. Sunday morning, at the Grand Pacific Hotel, Rev\ David Swing officiating, after which the remains were escorted to the depot, and deposited in the baggage car of the special train which was detailed to convey the corpse and escort to Detroit. Upon arrival at the latter place, the remains were escort ed to the late residence of the deceased, and on Wednesday the last sad rites were performed in the presence of a vast concourse of people. The Sentinel, like a great many other democratic sheets,, is terribly exercised for fear Grant will be a candidate for a third term. The General, however, still pursues the even tenor of his way, notwithstanding all their twaddle.

REMINGTON POT-POURRI.

[Prom our special correspondent.) A batcher shop, a broom factory and a flour and feed store, are the new business enterprises of this town. Instead of mixtßg blue mass with a “hydraulic” syringe, our physician mixes it with turpentine and capsicum, and applies it with a “hydraulic” syringe, to draw a blister. This week and last were profitable ones for tbs liverymen. Court in Rensselaer was the cause of an unusual amount of travel between the two places'. The roads were in better condition than for several months be* fore. i Oates has been informed in a roundabout way that scarlet fever and scarlet rash are the same. So it was the scarlet fever we had amongst us a few weeks since. The blunder was made in consequence of not having received a medical education. Well ignorance is occasionably excusable —but rarely.

11. W. Snyder, finding himself growing too heavy and corpulent to mount a long flight of stairs, has moved his office to a ground floor. He now spreads himself in the rear room of the Exchange Bank. He and Mclntire have a serious job on hand. One takes the Chicago Tribune and the qtber the Chicago Times. Which one will be converted is uncertain, hut Harper’s head is undoubtedly level, in which case he will be no backslider. , Diphtheria is still holding the schools at a standstill. Several new cases and one death are to be recorded thus far this week. A little son of Mrs. Anna McCully died on Sunday evening, quite suddenly and entirely unexpectedly. One peculiarity of this disease seems to be, that you never can tell when the danger is past. This little boy bad been dismissed by his physician as needing no medical attendance. One case of scarletina in the family of Jasper Guy developed itself on Tuesday. The respectable part of our citizens are very much elated overths failute of Willet to procure a license. Truly it is an up hill business to undertake to override public opinion. It is to be hoped that the next applicant is yet unborn. Whenever a man shows his hand in trying to get into the business of ruining fortunes, cursing families and filling the pauper list, he siraightwaj’ loses the respect of the better portion of this community, no matter how much he may have been esteemed before. What is the country coming to. Good crops, good prices, resumption a fixed fact and New York gone republican. There certainly must be something wrong, for the democrats have stubbornly asserted over and over again that should such th ings occur the heavens would fall, unless.brought about by democratic statesmanship 1 was assured a few days since by an astute democratic politician and wire worker, that the New York republ cans were undoubtedly, by the tens of thousands, going to scratch Cornell. If they did, from present appearances, the democrats beat them at that game. Woe, woe, woe. Is it possible that the Empire State has so far lapsed toward barbarism as to again fall into the hands of Republicans.

Yea verily.
