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. Dem. Extract from the Speech of Hon. Geo. F. Hoar, of Mass., in the Belknap Impeachment Trial. May 7th, 1876. 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 Rome Railroad—Change of Sohedule O N AND AFTER MARCU lat, the craning train (except Saturday evening), on thli road, will be iliicontinued.

Route dail 7 »* 7 -°° A - M 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. §wuclct[a' Obuiric.

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.
