The Springfield Scandal.

The excitement in relation to the scandal in high social circles is unabated. The names of the parties are talked of on the street?, and concealment is no longer practicable. The facts in this shameful case are briefly these: Mr. James S. CJadsden is a well-known business man of Springfield, Illiuois. His pursuits call him from home. On last Friday night returning unexpectedly from a visit to the country, he found his wife in the wanton embrace of Mr. Speed Butler, a merchant of this city, son of the ex-State Treasurer Butler. The case is aggravated by the fact that Mr. B. is a married man. His wife is one of the most excellent, accomplished and beautiful women in the country. They have three daughters. Maddened by the discovery, Gadsden drew his revolver and rushed upon the destroyer of his happiness. Butler fled into the darkness, leaving behind his hat, coat and other garments. Gadsden pursued, firing as he ran. Having exhausted his ammunition, but not his ire, he returned to his faithless wife, who, like Niobe, all in tears, besought his mercy in vain. Her clothing was immediately packed and, conveying her to the midnight train for

Indiana, he sent her back to her parents, in that State, with a full statement of his wrongs. Then rousing his counsel, Messrs. Edwards, Stewart and Brown, he ordered the immediate filing of a bill for divorce. Thus the matter remains, while the whole community stand aghast in sorrow and amazement. Butler is said to be seriously wounded.

Some farmers sell their grain at the right time, and realize good prices, while others hold on for higher rates and lose money by so doing. There are men who profess to be able to inform farmers just when to sell, and when not to sell their grain, but such men are humbugs. They may give good advice, and they may do otherwise, because nobody can foretell events with a certainty. As a general rule, when a farmer is offered a fair, paying price for anything he lias to sell, he had better sell. A Wisconsin farmer says: '"I am told that in Wisconsin there is a large amount of $2 50 wheat still held by farmers, and the majority of these farmers have been in debt ever since they raised the crops. Four years ago barley was very high, worth $2per bushel, with a prospect of being stiil higher. I hauled a number of bushels to market, but I though I would not sell until I got it all in. When I finished hauling, barley was down to $1 90. We all thought it was coming up again—and as I thought my barley was §2 barley, I concluded to hold on a spell. Barley kept coming down, and I kept holding on for a year and a half then I sold for 40 cents."

Change of French Rulers.

Louis XVI was executed in 1792, and his son, the Dauphin, after barbarous usage, died in 1795. Napoleon I. had two abdications and two exiles. His son died in Austria, and never obtained the imperial sceptre. Louis XVIII., who came next, was an exile for 20 years, and was restored to the throne by the bayonets of Europe was chased off it by Napoleon, driven into exile, but was again put back by the military forces of the continent. He died after a reign of nine years. His brother, Charles X., the best portion of whose youth had been spent in exile, wss driven fr*m the throne by the revolution ot 1830, and died far from his native land. His successor, Louis Phillippe, whose father had been executed in 1793, was in turn driven from the Kingdom, when an old man, after a prosperous reign of eighteen years. His successor was Louis Napoleoii. Of all the sovereigns of France since 1773, he has had the longest reign, as President and Emperor. They thus compare:

Louis XVI., eighteen years. Napoleon I., fifteen years. Louis XVIII., nine years. 4 Charles X., six years. Louis Phillippe, eighteen years. Louis Napoleon, twenty-two years.

The wounded are Mr. Shepherd and Mr. Heppard, all of this State. It will take several days to repair the broken trestle work.

her

Democratic majority

for Governor to 455, although on local issues the Republicans elect a SherifFand Clerk of the Court. The Democrats gain largely in members of the House. They claim the control of the next Legislature. Nothing has been received from the Kanawha region up to this hour. It will be impossible to determine the result in the State until further returns are received, although it is conceded by the Republicans that their majority of 1S68 has been greatly reduced, and there is a probability that they will lose the Third Congressional District as well as the First.

A telegram from Charleston, Kanawha connty, says the county is very close. It will probably give a Democratic majority-
