Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1876.
The election in Colorado yesterday
went Republican by a small majority,
and the Republican papers are intense
ly jubilant. The fact is that neither
Colorado or West Visginia, the one
with five electorial votes and the other
with three, have received much consid
eratiou in the October elections, the
teal nn J activity of both parties being
concentrated in Indiana and Ohio.—
The territory of Colorado was habita-
ually Republican from 1862 to 1872,
with fluctuating majorities. A Repub
lican delegate to the ;House of Repre
sentatives was chosen five times consec
utively. In 1874 the tidal wave swept
away the usual majority, and Thomas
M. Paterson was elected by a Demo
cratic majority of 2,163. The Repub
licans split into factions that year, and
paid the penalty of division.' All the
Federal offices are, of course, held by
Republicans of the most pronounced
type, and the patronage, which counts
so largely in a territory, has, of course,
been used to its utmost extent. The
largest total vote of Colorado only
reaches 16,.503, and a considerable part
of the population consists of Mexi
cans, who can be bought and sold on
election days like cattle. If the jDem-
oeracy have even the least regret for the
loss of Colorado, they have special
cause to rejoice at the prospect of af
fairs in New York. The unfortunate
differences between Tamany and Tam-
a ny parties in the city, which at one
time threatened disaster to the Demo
cratic pnrly in that State, have all been
amicably adjusted, and now that the
party will present a solid front in No
vember but little fear need be enier-
tained of the result. The Republican
press and the horde of stump speakers
°f that political complexion are ma
ting a terrific outcry against the Demo
cratic House in relation to Southern
*ar claims. The New York Sun sayB
Henry H. Smith, who was clerk of the
committee on war claims of both the
borty-Second and Forty-Third Con
Sfess, and is now the general clerk oi
the House, has, after a careful exami
nation of the official records, made a
statement of the facts in regard to
* outhern claims, which was presented
® the Forty-Second, Forty-Third and
orty-Fourth Congresses. Of the one
,‘undred an< b forty bills which have
, een Paraded as having been intro-
teed by Democratic Representatives
ltl tae Present Congress, it appears that
° n e hundred and nineteen are old
c aims, which have been pending before
le F orty-Second or Forty-Third Con-
v? 8 ’ an< i that the greater part of these
' a |ms are exactly similar to those
mms which have already been paid
./ 1 ® Republican Congresses and by
e ' ar and Treasury Departments in
, e as b fo n years. It also appears that
i ar ^ e num ber of these claims were
reduced by Republican members as
p 6 . rom foe South us the North.—
j,?! 10nB we re presented from Mr,
aine and othor members from Maine
erin 8 exactly the same cases.
Much is now being said by the press
don °k ^® s tamp of what may be
n. e . T either house in regard to the
,i n ln B°f the electorial vote Bhould
are n° n v 8t k® c b 08 ®' These comments
predicated on the supposition of the
joint rule being still in
eitho , ill * 8ru fo gave the power to
r louse to reject the vote of any
doubtful State. The present house
took the view that this joint resolution
must be re-enacted by each succeeding
Congress, and early in the last session
sent to the Senate a concurrent resolu
tion, re-enacting the joint rules ot the
two houses. This resolution lay on
the table of the Senate the entire ses
sion and was never acted upon. This
being the state of the case, and there
no doubt about it, the jjwhole power
over the counting of the electorial vote
remitted absolutely to the hands of
the President of the Senate. It is to
be hoped, however, that the vote in all
the States will be so decisive one way
the other that.it will leave no room
for a difference of opinion.
The election in Georgia, which tqkes
place to-day, will be for Governor and
members of the Legislature. The Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor is Al-‘
fred H. Colquitt, and the Republican
nominee is Jonathan Norcross. The
Democrats had a majority of 203 on
joint ballot in the last legislature. la
1872 the vote in the State for President
was Greeley, 80,278 ; Grant, 62,715.—
Democratic majority,17,347. In 1874
the vote for Congressmen was, Demo 1
crats, 93,563; Republican, 33,161.—
Democratic majority 60,186.

Terrible Arraigment of Republican Ad
mlnlstra.ion.
Testing the Sense of Touch.
Btrntlein's Fvo Sensei of Man.]
For this experiment two persons are
required, one of whom tests the sense
of touch of the other. For this pur
pose a pair of compasses is taken,
whose points, somewhat blunted, are
placed at a certain distance from
each other on a part of the skin of the
other person. The latter must then
say, with closed eyes, whether he feels
the contact of two seperate points, or
wheither both seem to be merged into
one. The result of this experiment
opou the less sensitive parts of the
skin is very surprising. If the points
are placed on the forearm in the di
rection of its length at the distance of
“ ,58 inch the sensation is a double one

The following were the closing sen
tences of Mr. Hoar’s speech.
“My own public life has been a very
brief and insignificant one, extending
little beyond the duration of a single
term of Senatorial office, but in that
brief period I have seen five judges of
a high court of the United States driv
en from office by threath of impeach
ment for corruption or maladminis
tration. I have heard the taunt
from friendliest lips, that when the
United States presented herself in the
East to make part with the civilized
world in generous competition in the
arts of life, the only product of her in
stitution in which she surpassed all
others beyond question was her cor
ruption. I have seen in the State in
the Union foremost in power and wealth
four judges of her courts impeached
for corruption, and tho political ad
ministration of her chief city become
disgrace and a by-word throughout the
world. I have seen the chairman of
the Committee on a Military Affairs
in the House, now a distinguished
member of this Court, rise in his place
and demand the oxplosion of four of
his associate for making sale of their
official privilege of selecting the youths
to be educated ut our great military
school. When the greatest railroad of
the world binding together the conti
nent and uniting the two great seas
which was our shores, wus finished. I
have seen our National triumph and
exaltation turned to bitterness and
shame by the unanimous reports of
three committees of Conggress, two of
Houses, and one here, that every step
of that mighty enterprise had been
taken in fraud. I have heard in Ing
est places the shameless doctrin avow
ed by men grown old in public office
that the true way by which power
should be gained in the Republic is to
bribe the people with the offices crea-
ated for their service, And the true end
for which it should be used when
rained is the promotion of selfish am-
}ition and the gratification of personal
revenge. I have heard that suspicion
haunts the footsteps of the trusted
companions of the President. These
things have passed into history. The
Hallam, or the Tacitus, or the Sismondi,
or the Macaulay who writes the an-
nanls of our times will record them
with his inexorable pen: and now ;
when a high Cabinet officer, the con*
stitutional adviser of the Executive,
flees from office before charges of cor
ruption, shall the historian add that
the Senate treated the demand of the
people for its judgement of condemna
tion as a farce,and laid down its high
fundtions before the sophistries and
jeers of the criminal lawyer? Shall
he speculate about the petty political
calculations as to the effect on ono
part or the other which induced his
judges to counive at the escape of the
create public criminal; or, on tho other
hand, shall he close the chapter by
narrating how these things wero de
tected, reformed and punished by
constitutional proceses which the wis
dom of our fathers devised for us, and
the virtue and purety of the people
found their vindications in the justice
of the Senate ?
Speaking of the efforts of plundered
South Carolinians to protects them
selves, an editorial writer on the Boston
Advertiser is unmanly enough to say:
It is not a very good time to talk
large about tho impolicy of clothing and
feeding political enemies now when so
many cities neighboring to Charleston
are piteously appealing to the North
for succor.
to 1.18 inch the contact is felt as a
single point, and the person experi
mented on feels considerable surprise
on opening his eyes when he see
that two points have been touched in
stead of one. The tip of the tongue is
found to be the most sensitive, the two
points being distinguished when only
.0394 of an inch apart. If the points
of the compass be placed on the
cheek near the ear, so that both can
be clearly distinguished, and then
brought slowly over the skin to the
lips, a sensation is experienced as
though the points were being separated
from each other. The skin of tne back
has the dullest sense of touch, since
when the points are at a distance of 2-
36 they are still preceived as a single
touch. It is quite astonishing how
greatly the distance between the two
points must be increased on the back
before we are clearly concious of a
double impression. Weber explanes
these facts by assuming that terminal
limits of a nerye fibre are much smal
ler than sensory circles, so that the
latter always contain a great number
of isolated nerve fibres. If two termi
nal limits are excited, and if a certain
number of isolated fibres unexcited lie
between them, the impression is only a
single one. A curious illusion of touch
is seen when the first and second fin
gers and a pea is picked up between
them in this unnatural position. The
impression is particularly strong that
the hand is holding two peas, and the
illusion is especially powerful when
the pea is rolled back and forth be
tween the fingers.

The Bishop and the Bees.
• '
We find the following good story in
foreign journal:
A French bishop, being about to
make his annual visitation, sent word
to a certain curate, whose ecclesiastical
benefice was extremely trifling, that he
meant to dine with him, at the same
time requesting that he would not put
himself to any extraordinary expense.
The curate promised to attend to the
bishop’s suggestion; but he did not
keep his word, for he provided a most
sumptuous entertainment.
His lordship was much surprised,
and could not help censuring the con
duct of the curate, observing that it was
highly ridiculous in a man whose cir
cumstances were so narrow, to launch
out in such, nay, almost to dissipate his
annual income in a single day.
“ Do not be uneasy on that score, my
lord,” replied the curate, “ for I can as
sure you that what you now see is not
the produce of my curacy, which I
bestow exclusively upon the poor.”
“ Then you have a patrimony, sir ?”
said the bishop.
“ No, my lord.”
“ You speak in riddles,” rejoined his
lordship; “how do you Contrive to live
in this manner ?’’
“ My lord, I have a convent of young
damsels here, who do not let me want
anything.”
“ How 1 you have a convent ? I did
not know there was one in this neigh
borhood. This is all very strange-
very unaccountable, Mr. Curate.”
“ You are jocular, my lord.”
“But, come, sir; I entreat that you
would, solve the enigma—I would fain
see the convent.”
“So you shall, my lord, after dinner
and I promise that your lordship will K.t4.oo p. m.

be satisfied with my conduct.
Accordingly, when dinner was over,
the curate conducted tho prelate to a
large inclosure, entirely occupied by
bee-hives, and, pointing to the latter,
observed:
“This, my lord, is the convent which
gave us a dinner; it brings roe in about
eighteen hundred livres a year, upon
which I live very comfortably,and with
which I contrive to entertain my guests
genteelly.” , . ,
The surprise and satisfaction of the
bishop may be imagined.
For a sensation of the serio-comic order,
the town of Saco, Me., is now prepared
to furnish an excellent illustration. A
young man belonging to the United
States Navy returned home one day last
week, and, before meeting his wife, learn
ed that she was about to go to the Centen
nial Exhibition with another man. He
immediately blackened a spot on his
breast with a soft cial, pierced a vein till
it bled, proceeded to the house with a re
volver in his hand, entered the family
drawing room with his bleeding breast ex
posed, discharged a revolver under hw
arm and fell to the floor as if dead.
