And black break the waves on tha storm-bat. tered coast, And sound the long bogies on peak and on island* And gathsrs the tempest with haste and with host.

In 1850, Washington Hunt w|g elected Gavarnor of Hew York by 282 majority on the official count, hut there were no Johnny Davenports to -disturb the tranquillity of the State •overit. Horaio Seymour, the de feated, candidate, sent no howlingdis patches from Utica about fraud, but with the dignify and patriotism of a statesman tie’grttcefiaily bowed to (he result, In 1852 Seymour defeated Hunt by * Urge majority, and in 1854 he was again defeated hv Myron H. Clark by 309 on 'he oftciaj count. Seymour was thengovernor. with Democratic power in every department, but no wail of the deuagogne came from him about frauds. Heand his official par ty fiienda counted the vote as it was returned, just as it is now returned for Cleveland, declared Clark elected b v 509, and he retired with docent and dignified respect for the {topnlar will. In 1840 Pennsylvania cast her elec toral vote for Harrison over Van Bureii by 349 majority on the official count. Van Buron was President: his defeat was not yet assured, aseth cr States had not yet voted, but no shriek of fraud c?me from the discom fited candidate, then wielding the whole power oi the nation. The vole was counted and certified without a murmur, and the electoral vote of Pennsylvania given to Harrison on 349 majority. In 1844 the electoral vole of Tennes see was cast against Polk and for •Clay oh a popular majority ofll3 by the official count. It was Polk's na tive State, and pride in the candidate and party interest combined to make ■the struggio almost nnexampied in desperatiou ; but no yell of fraud was heard ; no ballot-thief was employed by the Polk committee to cry fraud and then hunt for or invent it; hut the vote was computed without tho attempt at trickery, technicality or wrong, and President Polk manfully acquiesced in the loss of ids State by 113 votps. In 1848 Governor Johnson was elected Govcrner ever Morris Long streth by 305 majority on the official count. It was the first time the Whigs had ever elected a' Governor in Penusvlvauia; and the desperation of the Democrats to prevent Whig control of the State, was evidenced by their forcing the dying Governor Shank to resign on Sunday, to assure an election that year and prevent the Whig Speaker of the Senate from serving beyond the following Janua ry; hut Johnson carried the State by 305, and that settled it There was no Steve Elkins in those days to cry frauds to cover frauds, and Morris Longstreth honored his Quaker line- WASHINGTON, GA„ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1884. age by bowing to the result with all tho dignity and manliness of hones ty. , In 1839 Marcus Morton defeated Edward Everett for Governor of Massachusetts by 2 majority.

View# of Loading Ooneerratlve Journals of Both Parties on Olovoland. Blaine Defeated tha Republican*. {Vtom Philadelphia Telegraph, Blathe.l Democracy proved the truth ef that once more on the 4th of November, when it chase Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks President ami Vice-President of the American Re public. It iseternly declared that bo man is fit to be its Chief of State whose official probity is not beyond repreach. It was the peeple who did that, pot the adherent* of the Demo cratic party. It was not what Mr. Blaine’s political enemies wreta or did that defeated him ;it wa* what Mr. Blaine said and wrote that de feated him. Outer th# Republican ranks there marched, with sullen, determinedpurpose, tens of thousands of patriotic men who refused to ele vate to the head *f the gevernment a men who himself wrote- the baleful history of hit own public misdeeds, who stood by his otan hand a aeff cenvictod trafficker of hit official po sition for personal gain. They dared sot teach the youth of their country that dishonor and truth ara in public men things to be rewarded with the highest reward of all. They dared not se betray Democracy as to ateiet in the makingof such a man tholr couutry's Chief Magistrate. Either they voted for his opponent, Grovsr Cleveland, or they did not vote at all. It was they who wou Tuesday’s great victory. They ara not the lets Re publicans, hut the more republicans, for doing it. Tley have proved themselves the saviors of their party, the honest apholdcrs of its noblest principles; for never again will the most reckless of its leaders make a man of dishonored record the stan dard-bearer of Republicanism. They will never again make the iestie. “Men not Principles,” but “Principles and Mon.” They made one issue and the people made another. Said Mr. Curtis, a day or two before tho elec tion, “The issue of this campaign is indeed a good protection—protection not of labor, hut of America!! honor, both of the nation abroad and of onr citizens in public and private ref lations.” That issue decided tlie re sult. BUROHARD’B BURDEN. N. Y. Herald : The Rev. Dr. Bnr chard seems to he supplementing his “rum, romauism and rebellien” ad dress to Mr. Blaine with prayers that Governor Cleveland may be cheated out of the Presidency. When informed that Blaine might bc“putlcd through” if John J. O’Brien and crcattii-et of his kind could manipulate the returns I he Rev. Doclor is reported as respond ing: “Thank God far that hope. I have earnestly prayed that the weight of having possibly defeated Hr. Blaine might he taken from my shoulders. If it pleases Heaven to answer my peti tion I shall he once more a happy man.” The bigoted self-conceit of beseech ing God lo upset the honest result of a Presidential election in a nation of fifty five million people, merely for the sake of making the Rev. Dr. Sam uel D. Burchard, of this city, “once more a happy man,” is stupendous. A triple source of happiness: a good busiucss, a contented mind and a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. THB PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. Unhappiness Amonff the American Con suls and Diplomats. London, November B.—The unhap py American Consuls and other dip. lomafic officers stationed in Europe will pot thank the Associated Press for ths anguish of mind it has caused theip during the past week in regard t*> the Presidential election. Many of them had made arrangements to have tlie election news telegraphed from London, and early on Wedweeday a a consular attache here, whom they had deputed to supply them with the news, sent word of Governor Cleve land’s election. Late tlie seme night he contradicted his provious informa tion. On Thursday ho sent ward that the election of Mr. Blaine was Certain and tatter on the same day that the remit was in deubt. On Friday morning, tagiag far hi* basis a feolish Reuter Associatsd Press dis patch. he telegraphed once more that Mr. Blaine wae probably elected. La ter in the day he eme to me in de spaii end said that a fatality parsued him and he wished to know how he could let them down easy. Whether easy or not. they are probably all down by (his time. INCITED AMERICANS ABROAD. The greatest excitement ha* reign ed in the American colonies hero and in Paris every since Tuesday and bet ting has been general. I was in Par is en Tuesday night and found many eager to learn the result. Many of them did not go to bed at all that eight. Mr. Nicholas Fish came over from Brussels end was very glum at the tidings. Mr. Bookwal ifr was in Parii, also, and was very free with his predictions efA Demo, cratlo defeat. The Standard and Dai ly News have had long dispatches evtry day insisting from the fleet on the election of Governor Cleveland, but the Reuter dispatches bulled Blaine stock steadily, even up to Fri day morning. In consequence of this confusion the English papers thus fcr have said very little on the subject Worth repeating. The Irish papers greeted the announcement of Mr. Blaine’s election with much warmth, the Nation being particularly effu sive. English opinion generally is kindly ttt Governor Cleveland and (lie hope ie expressed often that stock juggling will now he prohibited. It seems to he taken for granted here that no tar iff legislation of importance Is to be looked for. The Irish members are curious to knew who will succeed Mr. Lowell. Tho English papers ail deplore Mr. Lowoli’s probable re call. On Monday night two persons tin known, supposed to he tramps, at tempted to break into the News of fice, but Were discovered by Win Gailliard a colored restaurantcr who lives nearby, and fled. We cannot imrginc what they could want that was in the office, as they certainly are poor enough without attempting to run a paper. They were no doubt hungry, and may have heard that there was “pi” always to ho found in printing offices, or they might have been alter tlie paste pot; or who knows but what they wanted lo make na a donation, knowing that sub scribers were usually very slow about paying iheirsuhscriptiqiis aud that we could not live on air and water alone. If the latter is the true suppo sition wo are exceedingly sorry they they did not get in.

Tiyo men mot in the publication of fice of a Now York magazine. for which both had agreed to write arti cles. They wore introduced to each oMter, •Ud I watched them vory inter estedly, because they were General Grant and General Beauregard. The visible, splendors of war had depart ed from them with their uniforms, and their civilian coats wers even glossed by wear in spots where gold licence had shoWn.

THE XAN WITH LEGS OP GLASS. A Doctor’s Schema to Oeat out Seven Dev il* Worn a Cranky Patient. (From the Detroit Times.) “Hallucination ?” said Dr. Jenka. “I kew a ina nonce who thought bla legs were made of glass. Lived down East. An old, wealthy dyspeptic bachelor. I think the idea about his logs was the result of dyspepsia, hut I was quite a boy at the time. Any way, the old boy was so afraid of hav ing his legs broken that he cried out when anyone approached the bed. There was an old doctor in the vinin ity, wiio was half mad himself, and this old fellow detorminod to cure him. One day he called and asked the old man to como out for a drive. Of course Hie old fellow was horrified, but the doctor insisted and ho at last consented togo. Abed was made up in the doctor’s conveyance and tho dyspeptic carried out and tenderly laid in It. They drove off and about, until over a hill a little distance off Iheysawthe stage coining. “Then the doctor, by a dexterous twist of the lines,evertunied the bug gy and tumbled the old man out in tlie middle of the road. Of course lie cried out that he was done for,but the doctor righted his buggy and drove off, leaving him squirming in the middle of tho road, and qalte unable to move, owing t* his glass logs. Sud denly he was alarmed by a shout and saw the stage come tearing down th* slope, heading straight for him. He gesticulated, but tho doctor had fixed things with the driver and the stage came right along. Well, th* eld fel low stood it until the stage was only a few feet away. Then h* jumped up and ran—ran clean hack (otown— and was never bothered with glass legs again.” The Great Exposition Inaugurates Then The approaching Inauguration of the Exposition the Worlds Industry at New Orleans, La., at noon on tho 16th of December, reminds of the Ex traordinary Giand Semi-annual (the 17th) Drawing of.The Louisiana State Lottery at tlie same hour, whon $522, 500 will he distributed among the for tunate investors in sums $150,000 to SSO.

Jay Gould, the enterprising chiva licr d’ industries of Wall street, is, at the present moment, the most disap pointed and unhappy mortal In the United States. His scheme of self aggrandizement,winch ho lias hither to made successful by a persistent course of public robbery, aided by a rotten administration of national af fairs, in the election of Cleveland sud denly comes to naught. Tlie king of Wall street swindlers, bated and de tested by democrats and republicans alike, has, like a craven crowd, begged their pardon by sending a congratu latory message to . 'President-elect Cleveland. The question so often asked. Why did Gould so much de# sire the election of Janies G. Blaine? is easily answered, Gould is the head and front of the Pacific railroad rings, tho most thoroughly organized and depurate gang of public plunder ers and land sharks that ever had a grip upon a civilized community. Blaine is the universally acknowledg ed tool ot that?ring. Gould for tho last ten years has fattened off this Pacific railroad ring, more particular ly the Union Pacific links of it. The, Inauguration of a democratic regime m.ans an investigation into tho cir cumstances under which millioiis of • lie stock of tho bankrupt Kansas Pacific railroad was bought by Gould for a mere tyiflejand illegally unloaded up on th# Union Pacific at par, by which operation this same Gould en riched himself (o tho amount of $9,- 000,000. Consequent upon this inves tigation Mr. Gould may bo compelled to disgorge some millions of hi* ill gotten gains. It also means an en forcement of IJie Thurman act in all Us provision*, end the enforcement of the Thurman act means tho dierup tion of th* Pacific railroad ring and the appointment of a government re ceiver tor tha Union Pacific, who will endeavor to re cover for the government of the United State* a moiety at lean of the $73 OJOt.OJ which that cor poration owe* it. In (lie third place, it means government invesligatiau into tho teiograph sytem of the coun try, the outeotne of which will ho ve ry injuriou* to the interests ofGould’s Western Union scheme, and will en tail upon him tho loss of many more millions. The defat; of Blaine also means the defeat of the unholy scheme devised by Gould and his partners in crime for driving tho Indians ont of Indian Territory, stealing their rich lands in the name of the goverement, and then having them divided among the land grant railroad# which they control and which they propose to extend through the territory. Theee aro a lew of the many reasons why Gonld so actively supported Blaine. Gould is a Gould man every time and only a Blaine man incidentally whon it will help Gould.—Boston Post. bonded whiskey. During the current fhcai year near ly thirty-four million gallons of whis key must be removed from bonded warehouses, and either exported or lbrawn upon the market. In the lat ter event nearly thirty million dollars must he paid to tlie government by tlie owners of the whiskey. This tax. if enforced, means ruin lo these own ers. and. it is said, will involve the fall of many banks which have made heavy loans secured by this commod ity. If three or four millions of gal lons arcthrown upon tho market per month there is no limit to which tho price may not fall. It cests about six teen cents to make a gallon ef whis key, and ths tax is ninety cents. There is going to be a heayy less somewhere. While the rockets were being fired at Americas Wednesday night, Mrs. A. J. Hudson, wife of Dr. Hudson, was struck by a glancing rocket, which exploded just before it reached her, on the hack of her head, cutting a painful gash, which bled copiously. The wound, while painfully, is not serious. Friday evening the gin house of Gen. P. H. Bradley at Bradley’s sta tion, Richmond county, was burned, the fire catching from a spark out of tho engine. There were about forty bale* of cotton in the house, hut most of these were removed. The engine gin and cotton seod however, were de stroyed. XO. 47 A SAD DEATH.

How these shouts of joy and triumph, the roar of cannon and tho blaze of lights,must have pierced into the hearts of that grief stricken fami ly I And what a temperance lesson should this fearful tragedy teach! Here was a good, quiet citizen, stand ing by a fire, without an evil or hos tile thought, when some thoughtless word, uttered without design to wound, reaches a stranger whom he had never before seen, already crazed with drink, who at one blow sends him into eternity. The hand* upon which five dependent being* rely for their daily bread are paralyzed in death, a happy home desolated, and four little children left upon the cold charities of the world. The hand* of an honest mechanic ara stained With the life-blood of a fellow man Who novel- did him harm, and he shut soon be put upon trial for his itffit. The long chain of wretchedness that follew* the consummation ofthiiono act is too horrible to think about. John Moon was a hard working man, and a kind husband and father. He had bought his family a comfor table home and was promptly meet ing his payments on the same. He was receiving a good salary, and gave lit* family all th* little comforts of lift. But without a word of warn ing, he wa* taken sway from them, and th* future of this humble house hold is wrecked. Mr. Moon wa* not intoxicated, and the difficulty did not take place in a bar-room. Mr. Sykes hid been drinking all the afternoon around town, and he was a madman whan' be entered the room where' his unsuspected victim stood.
