M. Wi, KEII, Bocy FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1876, In the general rojoicings over the splondid Ropublican triumph in Dlivois, it should not 0 overlooked that Bex L. WiLey, of tho Cairo District, n plain, honest farmer, dofoat- 1d HanTzaLt, prosont Congrossman, and one »f tho most popular young Domocrats in the Eighteonth Diatrict. ) As Tus Tnwuxe figures it out, the Repub- licans have gained five coriain, and perhops six, membors of Congress in Illinois, viz.: Awpniont in the First, Bnextano in the Third, Iavea in tho Soventh (Will), Mansa i tho Tonth (Warren), Trerox in the Thir- teenth (McLesn), and Witey in tho Eight. pouth (Cniro) District, There was only ono other district the Ropublicans had a right to * expect, viz.: the Second (Chicago), whero Col. Davis is defeated by a few hundred votes. Gov. BTeAnNE, of Florida, telegraphed to Woshington that tho Ropublicans had un- Jonbtedly carried tho State, but that the Democrnts wore engaged in desperate work lo provent the forwarding of tho vote to the Btate Capital,—throwing railwoy trins off tho track nand otherwise capturing snd in- tercepting the returns,—so that tho result woa doubtful. It ig evident that tho Florida Tildenites havo reccived from the hendquar- ters in Now York a message something liko this: *We must huve the State at all haz. ards I A report crepl out from the Palmer House last ovening thot an urgent message had boen telegraphed from TiLpex's leadquarters in New York to the Palmer House headquarters to soyd o trusty messenger! Immediately to Wisconsin *‘to correct tha, returns ! " People who are posted in Demo- cratio literature know what is meant by “correcting the eloction returns,” The Re- publican monagers in Wisconsin would do svigely to keop their cyes and ears open obout these days, or the first thing they know they will bu counted out by the * coe- vectors of election roturns,” All respectabla citizens will unite in the congratulations of the Republicans of the First Congressional District upon electing Avvmica over Hoxwe. Setting aside all Hoxie's conspicuous unfituess for Congress, it is fortunate that the mothods which he pdopted to socure his nomination, and which wero applied to some extont in the cam- paign, should havo roceived so emphatic a tcbuke from tho people of Chieago. We think, with Hoxte’s failuro, these wethods will not bo ndopted vory svon ngain by nny- body nspiriug to Congressional honors in this city, In the six wards in the city com. prised in Hoxme's distriet, he ran nearly 1,000 votes behind his ticket, so that ho is not likely to make his sppesrance in politics uguin, The escape was lucky one. ————— Couse, of this city, had gone to Now Orleans to assist in ** correcting ” the count in Lou- Thers is foflunmable material enough already in New Orleans without any contributions from the Northern Demoeracy, whoso presonce thera cannot possibly do any good and may do a great denl of harm, If Gon. Consz has no other orrand he shonld stay at homo and putiontly swait the result. This flockivg Boutbward of Tildenites from the North looks like au attempt to gain by intimidation and force that which was lost at the ballot-hox, and if Democrats rush to tho rosue, why not Republicana ns well? The reault of thd clection in Louisiana can bo determined withont Northern interfor- ence, and Gon. Conse nnd everybody else will do wall to keop at home and wind their own business, ‘There is no doubt now that Mr, Baextano has beou olocted to Congress over Mr, Le- Bloyxe In the Third District by o substan. Mal wmojority, 'The Poor-Houso vote will searcely avall the Domderatio candidate this year, ad it did sgainst Mr. Famwein, We folt considerable coufidence all nlong thut Mr, Brextaxo would Lo olected, but that confidonce was strengthed whon the Obicago Z'imes, n fow days bofore the clec- tion, bogan n malicions warfare upon him. Yhenever the Chicago Zimes asenils anybody with o special show of viclousuess, it geu- srally convinces Chleago people that tha porson attacked is o protly good sort of o man, and worthy of their support. By the . woy, Br. LaTnuor, in the Fourth Distvict, who beat a Republican bolter na well us a Democratic opponeut, probably owes a part o his succoss to the persistent abuse the %mes gave Lim, and u part to the fact that . %0 made the Z'imes pay 25,000 for one of ¢a malicious elanders on the fuir fame of & ‘ady. Arvricn, BrexTaNo and Latusor are oretty good Congressional waterial, and it is sreditable to this section of the State to have slected thew ‘Ihe Chicago produce markets wero quiot yes- lerday, aud rather irregulur, with very light ro- wipts of grain, Mess pork closed fic per brl ower, sL§10,00 cash and §15.874@16.40 seller o yewr.

Now, the way he should accopt the compliment is nn expression of particular confidence that he will make an effort to roform the abuses that have pre- vailed in the Bherifi’s office for some ycara. It has been cloimed for Kxny all through tho campnign that ho would be independent of the bummers, if olected; and, as he has boon olected with that understanding, lio should try to ropay the confidence with good faith, Mr, Kenn was onco Sheriff of Vigo County, Indiann, so that ho docs not go into the offico without experienco, which will enablo him to introduce reforms systematic- ally if ho is soinclinod. He should kecp in mind that he received several thousand Re- publican votes; that it was theso which gove him so Landsome o majority ; and that he is under obligations to them to adminis- ter the offico as fairly and intelligently sslo can, 'This is 6 reason to hope that he will do 8o, for it renders him largely independ- ent of the bummor olement in tho Demo- cratic party. The total voto of Cook County was 76,196, of which 02,448 wero cast insido the city limits. Tha city vote would have beon almost, if not quite, equal to the total vote in tho county if thero had been proper facilities for polling it. In many of the voting precineta in the city there were from from 1,200 to 1,400 registered votors, and the average time required to vote wns not less than o minute per man, or only sixty an hour. Many citizons—old men, invalids, wen who could mnot afford tho time—were thus kept oven from tho effort to vote, and thonsands of citizens woro partinlly disfranchised by being shut out altogother. In Now York, wards corrospond- ing in sizo to our largest wards aroe divided into twenty, twenty-two, nud twonty-four voting-precincts, so that never more than 500, and generally as fow as 250, are required to voto at one precinct. ‘I'he result of such an arrangement is that thero is no hard- ship in casting a vote, the entire vote of tho city is ensily polled, and it {s quickly counted and returped, There should nover bo an- other election in Chicogo without similar facilities forreceiving tho ballots. GETTING 0UT OF THE WOODS, Yesterdny returns from tho doubtful States wera awaited with fovorish anxioty, The throngs about the newspaper offices were re- doubled, oud so slowly did the news come in, and so contrndictory was it when ro- ceived, that the excitement was wrought up to the utmost tension. The morning dis- patchesindicated that Californis, Orogon, and Nevadn might be stricken from the list of doubtfol Stutes ond sot down for Haves, Nothing enme over the wires to damage the encouraging prospects which, from the dis- patchos of the night before, it was manifest there were of the transfer to the Haves column of the votes of Florida, Louisiana, South Corolina, aud Wisconsin, but all re- mained in suspense. At the Democratic headquarters, on the strength of grapevine dispatehies or spirit-medium communica. tions, perhaps, after the Pacific States were conceded to Ilaves, these remmining four doubtful States wero claimed moro vehement. ly than before for TrLpeN, But the dispatches came, and the Tilden- ite prospects began to vanish. First the doubt as to Louisiana was dispelled. Gov. Kerroaa dispatched that there was no doubt about it—the Btato had been carried for Hayes, Noxt cams tolegrams from Wiscon. sin that that Stats had also gone for Hayes by 4,000 to 5,000 surc. South Oarolina wos still claimed by tho Democrats with desper- ate tenacity. Then upon them like a thun- der-clap come the news that North Caro- lino—which had beou sot down in the Tiz- DN column, aud the ton votes of which had been reckoned for him to mpko up the184 Electoral votes which it was in somo quar- tors ot first conceded bo hod secured—had gone for Haves, About this time Havea stock began to rise rapidly, nud thero was o sudden withdrawal of offers to bet odds on Tiroey, and all tho Democrats went to hedging, It seomed now that at lnst Florida, with her four Elcotoral votes, was to ba the koystono State of this contest, nnd it was still oxultantly claimed by the Democrats that, with the sevou votes of South Corolina and the four of Florida, oven conceding awsy North Onroling, Tiroen would hinve the exact numboer of Eicctoral votes required. But enrly in the evening all such delusive liopes were crushod by dispatches indicating -that, thanks to the presence of the Super- visors of Elvctious, u fair ballot hiad been sooured in South Caroliun, and it had gone Republican, Then, to complete the good nows, camo intelligenco that a Republican victory in Florida could be dopended upon beyond doubt, Up to this writing all our dispatches go to confirm these good tidings, 'There is a homely bit of wisdom which the Demoorats hereabouts have already lad to tuke unto themselves, and which bids us be guarded about hallooing before we got ont of the woods, Dut unless thero ba * bulldozing" about it,—ns thoy now atyo political wssns. sinotion, waylaying of judges of election, smashing of ballot-boxes, and tho like, in Florida and South Caroliva,—Haves is al- ready out of the woods, and, instead of going into the White House with a baro mo. Jority of the Electoral College, will have a majority of twenty-ono Electora!l votes. Among the results of the eleotion in Il- linols, the eloction of Gou. 1. O, Haves to Congress in the LaSalle District ia specially gralifying. His clection is gratifying be- cause of his porsonal ability aud Republican. ism, and wlso bocause it defeata the presont iucumbent, Mr, CaurueLyn, who has proved to be o most lawmentable fallure, No one questions Mr, Caxrnesr's integrity and siu- cerity, but ho is too impracticable for tho or- dinary affairs of maukiud, Believing lim- self to Le an oxpert in political economy, he bLias contracted Labits of thought und pecu- Har notious upon finnucinl watters which ex- coed the comprehousion of common intelli. gence. Bo dovotod was he to Liis jnsane the- ory of au iwodeewable paper inonoy ine against nll the silver.coinnge ncts, lest tho coinngo of silvor might wenken the popular demand for paper money. Mr. Canrnect, falled to mako that impression in Congress which his admirers expected, and henco their doscrtion of him and his dofeats 1t is for nearly similar rensons gralifying to know- that Anpenson, the other special Groenbncker who was elocted in 1874 from tho Nineteonth District, has been defeated. ‘Who lios been elocted his successor is not yot precisely ascortained, but the people, even of his district, have got tired of the Groenback- Independent organization, and Mr, ANDER- 80N has been dropped. THE VOTE OF ILLINOIS, In their zonl tho Deinocrats yesterday laid claim to the Btate of Ilinois, including in that claim the Electoral vote, the Governor, and State officors, and a mnjority of the Logislature. Tho vote of 1872 was not n real vote. Gnant's majority was then over 5,600. A nearer appronch to tho test of party strongth was the vote on Governor, which stood : Oglesty, Republican..... Koerner, Democrat... Oglesby's mnjority, ‘We have roported and for President from fifty.two out of the 102 counties of the Stato, and thirty.sevon coun. ties for Governor, Outside of Cook County tho vote is very small. Compared with tho Governor's voto in 1872, the votos of 1876 for Prosident and Governor show tho fol- lowing result : Preeldent—Tilden's calns. President—Haycs' galna Net galn for Thden. .. Governor—Steward's gaina, . Governor—Cullom'sgains, Net gain for Stoward.. Tho-great bulk of this gain s in Cook County, whore Tiupex's gain is 9,681, ond Srewanp's 7,404, ond thore is no danger of 8rEwARD's oloction, PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS, In consequence of tho scoming closoness of the Electoral vote, there is a ranewed dis- cussion of an old question,—the possibility of an Elcctor botraying the trust roposed in him by the people of the State. There is no precedent of n Presidontinl Elector, after Loving been clocted 8s a friond to a known candidate, violating such confidence by vot- ing for some ono elso, Thero hes, however, never beon o cnso where an Elector could have changed the reault of an eleotion, If the contingenocy now oxists, it is the first time when n single Elector might defeat the popular will by proving false. ‘There is no legal obligation upon a person appoiated an Elector to vote for any particu- lar pereon. The obligation is o moral one, —one in. which his personal honor and personal credit are impliedly pledg. ed that, being elected, Lo will vola for the candidats supported by those who elected him. He is nominated as on Elector to vote for tho candidates voted for by the party who chose the Elector. There is an implied pledge, and this has been, and it is to bo hoped will always prove, 08 strong a8 it could be made by law. In fact, the theory of this mode of electing President is, that the Eloctors are to make tho choice of President, This theory, how- ever, hus been long since abandoned. The candidates for Presidant aro selocted by tho poople, and the Electoral College merely rop- resent and oxeonte the will of the peoplo ex- preased at the polls, For cases of vacancy in the Presidential Electors each State hos a provision of.law, which wo suppose is the same in all the States, In Illinois tho law provides that, if an Elector fail to appear at nmoon on the day appointed at the State-House, the Elcot- ors who may be present may forthwith appoint another person to fill such vacancy. The instances of vacancles in the Electors thus filled are numerous. It happened in 1800 that the popnlar vote was so closo in New Jersey that a portion of the Electoral ticket of each party wns elected, "The samo result happened in Virginia, but as the rosult could not be affected, the matter was arranged among tho Electors, BStrange ag it may seem, there are in overy State num- bors of voters who scratch the Electorel tickot, and hence there is often a difforence in the number of votes for the soveral Elect. orson the sama ticket. Where the popular voto of the Statois close, it is possible, for this reoson, thot some Elcctors on each ticket may bo chioson in a State. It is, we suppose, possible that a Presiden- “tial Elector wmay bo purchased; but such a thing has nover nppened, and we hopo may nover happon, and the man who becomes the {irat examplo of such a crime may well mako his arrangemonts to bo regarded ns infamouns among mon for the remaindor of his life, The Electors do not meet to vote until the first Wednesday in Decombor. THE LOCAL DEMOORACY, There is trouble in the Demoerstic camp in Chicago. 'The doubt upon the election of Tupexn hns been a torriblo sot-back, They had mapped ont the future so charmingly and so profitably that it was especially eruol to hve the picture clouded by such an acci. deut na the want of ong vote. Democratio patriotism has been abundunt in Chicago doring the onmpaign, and in no part of the country has the maxim that ** to the vic- tors belong tho spoils ™ been so accepted as gospel truth ag Ly the Domocratio **soldiors aud sailors " of Chicago, Tho Government of the United States Lns in this city soveral pluces of Honor, trust, and profit, ’I'hgta is the Custom-House, the Internal Rovenuo office, the Post-Office, and the Marshalship, with nll the appendnges aud collateral places, The number of these, however large, is nevertheless limited, and much leas than the whole nunber of * sol- diors and saflors ” who have run the Demo. cratic homiquarlers, A competent and judi- clous man will therefore be necessary to diseriminate in the proper distribution of the places, Tor thia high aud important trust, requiring ekill, and sober, careful thought, with knowledge of men, Mr, Penny H, Surtn will perlinps admit no rival, and, from his relations with Tirpex, will probably be dic. tator, unleas Mr, W, F, Coornavau enter the Cabinot as Secrotary of the 'I'reasury, or Mr. ‘Tnomas Hoyne bo made Attorney-General. It is possible also that Mr. Canten Harmi. 80N, ny the sole Demooratic Representative in Northorn Ilinois, may clafin that he shall have sowe controlling voice in the distribu. tion of patronsge among his constituents, Of conrse Mr, Oynus H. McCoruiox wants no potty office. Should the Legislature (it Democratic) chooso ta eleot him Benator of the United States, his gratitude to higfriends might ba shown even in a more subatantial mannerthan a small sppointisent, Neverthe~ loss, Mr. MoCoruick will be a man of weight with the TizpzN Cabinet; he was a large stockholder in Credit Mobilier, which Mr, T1LDEN 80 adroitly managed, and of which he shared the liberal profits, Then thoro is that force of Gonerals,—OaxxroN, Briuzs, Conss, placed that they can do the most good? Who ia to bo Marshal and who Postmaster? Then there is tho long array of civilians,— men who like Titozy himself did not go to the War, and took no part therein. The on. II. . MiriLr, whoso opinions on State. Bovereignty agree with thoso of TiLpEN, would not take any of thess minor places, unless it wero the professional ono of Die- triot Attorney. TFor this, however, there will bo a host of candidates from the junior members of the Bar who have stumped the saloons and the roral precinots, and will claim n share of the reform they helped to produce, There are, moraover, two eminent men,—Judge TrRomouLy and Jndge Doortr- TLE,~both ox-Senators, both ex-Republic. ans, and both oleventh-hour TiLbeN men. Neither of theso will seok the local officos, Gov. TiLbrN may probably put them in his Cabinet; indeed ha can, i so dlsposed, fiud statesmen onongh in Illinois to Al his Cab- inot, Thero is QGov. Pauazn, and Gov. Kornxen, and Mr. Connixa Jupp, late Grand Commander, who will all consent. But, aftor all, tho vital pointis the dis. tribution of tho local plunder. To whom will Mr. Prfny Buirn, or Oanten HanrnisoN, or the other man, give the Post-Ofica? Will it bo to Mirrs Keuog, or ., H. WinstoN, or John Cosmrer? Who will be Marshal? Will it bo Gen. Cauenoy or Gen, Conse? As wa supposo Farnswonti has got through run. ning for Congress, will he accept tho office of Collector? And what is Oapt. Coxnzrr to have? Thora ara in the hands of the ruling party tho following offices to be distributed: Post- master and 400 subordinates; Collactor of Customs and twenty-five subordinates; Col- lector of Internal Revenue and fifty subordi- nates; Marshal and twonty subordinatos; District-Attorngy and threo subordinates, Here are 500 places, suro pay, to be divided among 88 many Demoersts. Civil-Servico TReform, Mr, TiLpEN says, must begin by the romoval of everybody who isin offico and the appointment of Democrats, Tipen got 81,000 votes in this connty, and there are only 500 places to go around. There ave, however, soma foreign Ministers to be np- pointed. There is Mr. Jouy Fonsyrm, and B, G. Cavrriewn, and J. V. L Moxxe,’and J. R. Hoxie, nll ex-Congressmen, and all willing to accept forcign missions, In the meantimo, TiLDEN may get that other vote between now and March next, and those seoking placo would do well to file their ap- plications and recommendations with Prany Surri, so that if suddenly called npon to act ho may be ablo to muko his selections understandingly. “PUSH POR THE NAVY-YARDY On last Saturdny night the Democrats of Brooklyn had a torchlight procession, in which was a transparoncy bearing the in- seription: ¢ One push moro and the Navy- Yard is ours,” In this inscription moy be found the truo inwardness of their political compaign in general, In tho commencemont of every campaigu thore is a popular impres- elon that the party in offico bas the advan- tago of the party out of office, as they can levy contributions upon and have the Federal office-holders at work for them. This, how- ever, is only o superticial improssion. As a matter of fact, it is an elewent of wonkness rather than of strength, and has always proved so, espocially among Republicans, 'The party in power is handicapped. It has 1o oflices to promise. The officos are already filled and pro-ompted by the old stagers and machine men, who can hardly be lifted out with a derrick, ‘Tho BELENAPs, Boss Smep.’ menod, Bo N8, and CmiNpbress, and all the professionals, through long familinrity in running the machines, can be dislodged only by an earthquake or a goneral upheaval. ‘The office-holders in cities and towns hold on to their places as comfortably as a barnaclo on a ship's bottom, and will contribute only o certain small percontage of thoir salary or gnins to o campaign fund, because thoy have a roasonable hope if their tenure of ofice has been ncceptable that thoy will continue in thoir places. On the other hand, the party out of offico is un- Lampered by any antecedents, traditions, or pledges, In the present campaign, Mr. TiLoey has been enabled to hold out hopes of preferment to a multitude of patriots. Every ambitions maun of overy nationality who haa fought, bled, and died for ‘I'tuory, and every proprictor of every Democratio grocery who has mustered his class of bum- mera and scalawags fo savo thoir country, has hed a hope in his breast that he will have on bffice, ‘There aro dozons of men expeot. ing to be Cabinet officors, scores of men ex- pecting to get o forcign mission, hundreds of men oxpecting to Lo Postmusters, thou. sands confident that thoy will have snug berths in the revenue servico, the Custom- House, and the thousand-and-ono other of. fices to be filled, and theso men to-dny are betwoen a shiver and aswoat o ench now dispatoh comes in, The prospective office appoars aud disappears with refroshing rogularity,. Now you seoit and now you dou't, but hope springs mmmortal in the buman bresst. This expectation is upper. most in the mind of every patriot who has mado a resolute fight for Tiupxy, and with tlis ond in viow he has spent his moncy like water and given all his encrgios and his time to the working of the primaries, the manipulation of tho grocorics, aud the stuff. ing of the ballot-box. Iu this city, overy Democratio patriot has been working with direct reforonco to an oftice, and the result lias been that, although thero are compara- tively fow capitalists in that party, the Demoorats have been cunbled to chock on moro money than the Republicans, sinco the lattor have hed to work without uxpectation of offlee, especially as Mr. Hayes' position in the matter of civil-servico reform is such that he wonld rotain capable and faithful men, only a few incompetents Loro and there being turnod out to make room for new men. ‘The Administration in power, thercfora, is hampered ot every turn by tho men in office. It isin tho awkward prodicamont of the man who attempted to lift himsolf by the straps of his boots, It hos no now re- aources, A multitade of officc-sockers s pitted against & small squad of office-bold. ers.. Againat 10,000 men are pitted 100,000, who dare not refuso to be bled to the uttermost farthing, lost thoy may proju- dice thelr claim to office, Mr, TirpeN, theroforo, has had all these sclfish motives to work upon. He hay had whole regiments of bhalf-starved country editors who have alung ink round in the ‘moat extraordinary mannear aud thrown mud with patriotio industry, in the hopo that for the next four yeara they may have tho post. W porquisitos to live upon, instesd of the pumpking aid cordwood that aro credited sgainst subscriptions. 'Thero aro platoons of metropolitan editors who havo exhiausted the ethica of lying and turned the American eagle inside ont, in the hope that their pining columna may be distanded with the psp of Government ndvertising. *‘Ono push for the Navy-Yard,” shonted tho Brooklyn patriota. *“Ono push for tho Post-Office,” shouted Prnny Bairn, and straightway tho wholo mob of patriots commenced pushing, thousands of them coxpecting to push into places that hold hundreds. Tho Chioago Post-Offico will neccommodato a littlo ovor 800 omployos, As the result of the push for tho Post-Ofice, a thousand or more famished and long-starved patriots are anxiously, yearn- ingly, bescechingly, and tenderly looking to Peany Burrn, as the manipulator of the bar. rel and almoner of TiLoEy, to provide them places in it, whilo the othor thousands aro clamorous for places in the distilleries, without & thought apparently that the most of thom must continue taking their whisky outsidethe distillery in the cnpacity of bummers, as usunl, This tromondous pressure of tho avorago offico-secker cannot be offset by the party in power ; but thore is consolation in tho rofloction that it Trupex is olected, the Ropublicans four yenrs from now will have an army of fresh aspirants for the swacts of office, who will charge npon the Post-Officos and Custom-Honses liko the Light Brigade at Balaklava, and with a force, directness, enorgy, oud weight that the machine Demo- corats will not bo able to withstand ; and this, too, notwithstanding thnt Domocrats love offico better than Republioans, and mako more money out of them, retrenchmont and reform being convenient catch-words when they aro *‘ outs,” but nover practiced whon thoy are *ins,” as shown by the recont record of tho Democracy in Chicngo and -Cook Connty. —, Aside from the lenning which the English newspapors have generally had for the Dem- acrtic party, it is gratifying to learn that the principal journals like the Times, News, and Standard have advisod their poople that thera is no oceasion for spprchending any injury to the American ecredit from TiLDEN'S cleotion, Suchanapprohensionwouldof itaclf bo a damage, and it ought to bo suppressed until there is somo notual and overt provooa- tion forit. The English newapapers gen- orlly oxpress a rolinnce upon Mr, Tinoxn's own moderation and his influence with tho party ; but there is really a better ronson for the nssurances they have given their readers. Though the Republicans muy not havo eloct- ed their candidate for Presidunt, they will not have forfeited all their influenco in shap- ing tho public policy. The Sonate will bo Republican for at least two yoars to come, and perhaps longer, and there will bo a small Republican majority in the next Houso of Nepresontatives. Tho Ropublicans, there- fore, will be powerful cnough to pre- vont the consummation of any of the wild financial schemes that may be born of Dem- ocratio success, and in every attack on the national credit their defengse will be the moro offectivo becauso they will have the people back of them. Before the- election it was hoped that the Cairo District would go Republlcsn, nnd elect Rux WiLey to Congress over the present fu- cumbent, HlAnTzELL, Who is a thorough-paced doughface; and it {8 now helleved that the dis- trict has dono it. Two years ago Hanrzrin had 1,580 majority.

Two years ngo that district went Democratic by 4,600 majority, and it is hardly possible there has been such a revolu- tion this year in favor of the Republicans. — ———— The desth of Tueopnor voN HrugLiN, tho famous German scientist, was ennounced a day or two agzo by cable.
