Our readers -will now see that we wer Wholly justified last year in refusing endorse in any manner the Democrats so-called anti-bribery moTement. When the devil was sick, Tne devil a monfc would be l Wben the devil got well The devil a monk was he 1 Last year, Mr. B. B. Grant, in his offic ial position as Ohairman of the Democrat! County Committee, clothed with all th< authority of the Democratic party of Clin- ton County, formally and with a great flourish qf trumpets, invited us to join in a movement to suppress bribery in Platts- burgh. This year he has not only failed to put in an appearance, but has given his almost exclusive attention to scouring the country and laying plans for a campaign, in which it is estimated the Democrats hare expended $15,000 for purpose o bribery! Last year the Plattsburgh Republican the Democratic anti-bribery organ of Clin- ton County completely, exhausted both Webster's and Worcester's dictionaries in search of scathing invectives to pour out upon Bepublioans whom it suspected of using money in elections. Will it this year single out the new Assemblyman and . Sheriff, and other prominent Democrats, Who are suspected of bribery on an exten- sive scale, and hold them up to like con- tempt and ridicule? Will it represent them, and the young Democratic lawyers and clerks in Plattsburgh, as criminals and fit subjects for State prison ? Will it warn Mr. Smith against the terrible crime of taking a false oath I In short, will it d< its utmost to ruin the personal standing oi these men, as it has the leading Bepubli- oans of Plattsburgh on a like pretense If mot, then let-it hide its head for shame and haul down its false colors 1 On the night before the election, the Plattsburgh anti-bribery union held a meeting and declared that the anti-brib.ery sentiment of one of the political parties (meaning the Democratic) had completely \oozed out,\ and after a careful inquest the ' anti-bribery organization pronounced itself dead t The funeral was held on Tuesday, and special services were held at the \Black Hole,\ on the east side of the Biver.

The Democratic majority on the oounty ticket ia about as follows: Smith, Assem- blyman, 2,000; Parsons, Sheriff, 1,400; Dunn, District Attorney, 1,300.

Pennsylvania Republican b; 12,000. BUTLERISM WIPED OUT Iff MASSA- CHUSETTS. The Republican party of this country gained a most signal victory on Tuesday of this week. The result in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and othei large states is of national importance, and shows that the tide is already set for a Re- publican victory in 1884. The result in the State of New York terribly crushing to the Democracy. Tc see the magnificent majority of two hun- dred thousand in 1882 completely wipec out in one year, to see both branches of the legislature wrested from their hands at one stroke, is a terrible blow, and one from which they cannot recover. It shows that what we have said is strictly true, thai there are just as many Republicans in th< State as ever, and of the two, that the lumber is steadily and surely increasing. Without going into details we will give the general result. The majority for General Carr, for Sec- retary of State, \will not vary materially from 19,000. The Democratic state com- mittee concede it at about this figure, but claim the rest of the state ticket. This the Republicans concede, but it is believed the vote is very close. But the result in the Legislature is of the greatest significance. The Senate of lasl winter stood 18 Democrats and 14 Repub- The new Senate will consist of 19 Republicans and 13 Democrats. A ohange of 101 The Assembly of last winter Btood 15 Democrats and 43 Bepublicans. The Assembly will be at least 73 Republi- cans and 55 Democrats or opposition. A change of 60. Both houses will be organ- ized under Republican control, with a Re- publican Speaker and a Republican Presi- lent pro tern, of the Senate, with the con- rol of the committees of both houses. Massachusetts* No less significant ia the result in Mas- sachusetts. This is one of the states to which the opposition bad pointed to show that Republicanism was giving away. But the answer now comes back in the oom- plete overthrow of the Democratic-Butler ;ombination and a clean Republican ority of from fifteen to twenty thousand 1 )he latest returns give Robinson 15,000 ijority for Governor, and the Republi- as 139 members of the Legislature, democrats 92, Independents 1, and nine listriots to hear from. Pennsylvania* The old Keystone State also remains rm, and gives a Bepublioan majority of om ten to fifteen thousand, in a total vote about 600,000 against 743,000 last year. Minnesota. The latest returns indicate that the Re- mblican majority will be little less than 15,000. This shows where the great North- west is tending! They elect a Governor, Supreme Court Judge, and other import- ant officers. Connecticut* The Republicans have carried both ranches of the Legislature, with a major- of about 40 on a joint ballot. New Jersey* While the Democrats have elected Gov- irnor, the Republicans have carried both tranches of the Legislature. Otber States. The Democrats carry Maryland, Mississ- ppi, Virginia, and ether Bourbon states! Che local elections in Colorado, Michi- ;an, and elsewhere are favorable to Repub- icans. The general result is certainly a splendid republican send off for 1884, and with roper care and diligence we may con- lently expect to elect the next President the United States. % Lather's Fourth Centennial. The general assembly of the Presbyteri- church in the United States at its lession in Saratoga in May last, and the National council of the Congregational lurches of the United States at their late iting in Concord, in view of the ap- aching four hundreth anniversary of birth of Martin Luther, Nov. 10, commended their respective churches to ;age in such services at this time as shall st fittingly express \our grateful re- lemberance of the name and work of the reat reformation leader.\ The National >uncil recommended that the 11th of avember be observed for this purpose id ' 'that the pastors of the churches take occasion to direct the thoughts of leir congregations to the reformation ef- icted,\ and \especially to the great doc- ines of justification by faith only; of the ipreme authority of the Word of God; of ie priesthood of every believer; of the ight of private judgment; to the fruitful- tess of these principles in the promotion >f civil and religious liberty, and to the ignifioance of Luther's personal religiouB ixperience and divine conduct of his life, is an evidence of the power and purpose of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to carry forward the work of human redemp- tion to the predestined consummation in is own blessed and eternal reign.\ —It is reported that Moses, the 1 husband >f Blanche Gray, the fat girl, who died in Baltimore a few weeks since, has sold her body to a physician of that city for the sum of $25.

Although the election was very quiet, the Republicans were out in force, and from returns received the Republican ma- jority is estimated as high as 1500, and probably will not fall much, if any, short of that figure.

A terrible explosion, caused by fire »mp, took place in a colliery at Accring- ;on, a town in Lancashire, nineteen miles orth of Manchester, England, on Wednes- morning. A large number of miners ere at work in the colliery at the time of he explosion, and it is known that sixty- three were killed and forty more or less in- ured. The killed all but 18 remain en- >mbed in the mine. Great excitement exists in the vicinity of e disaster, and a large force of volunteers re now at work attempting a rescue of those imprisoned in the mine, but, as yet they have been unable to i'each the locality in which the miners were at work. ?he Sapreme Courts View of an Insane Person's Snicide.

It is expected that the Democratic House will turn out the present officials of that body night of refreshing sleep on our kiout skir beds we mounted two of his Indian herd, ing ponies for a ride over his ranch of Ii miles in width, situated six miles north of the Smoky Hill river. His ranch con- sists of four hundred square miles, and tht cattle on a thousand—\plains.\ the working force of the Senate. This ex- pectation will draw hither a great many outsiders of both parties, but it seems hardly possible that there will be such violent tussel for the House offices as ther< was, eight years ago when the Democrat first obtained control of that body. Then were then over 5,000 hungry Democrat here fighting like wolves for the hundrei or so positions to be filled. They had beei out in the cold a long time and the aromi of the flesh-pots sharpened their appetite Although a very gay winter socially i predicted for Washington, the societ: people will not look to the cabinet familii for their entertainment. In fact Secretar; Frelinghuysen's seems to be about the only one of the cabinet houses where any social festivities may be looked for. Secretary Folger's house is presided over by hi daughter, who is too much of an invali to devote herself to society to any extent. Last winter she was obliged to pass ii Florida on account of her health. Mrs Lincoln, the wife of the War Secretary, is another inyalid, and for the last year the Lin coins have been in mourning for Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, so their house is closed for everything except very quiet entertain. ments. This winter the house of Secretary Chandler will be closed, as the family are in mourning. Postmaster General Gresh- am and Secretary Teller both live in smal houses in a very quiet way, and aside from the regular Wednesday afternoon recep. tions will entertain but little. The Brew- ters, who live in the large house on Con- necticut avenue, formerly occupied by the French legation, are very ambitious, so- cially as well as politically. They will no doubt entertain the most prominent polifc- cal and diplomatic people and those mem- bers of the common herd whose fortum can be reckoned by millions. The political problems casting theii shadows over the country, struggling com- ing events big with importance, begin to focalize, so to speak, at Washington. The struggle for the control of the administra- tion in 1884 is to be a tremendous one. It is to begin at the opening of the session of Congress on December second, next, and to continue until a new President takes his seat in the White House, though, by the way, it is not impossible that Mr. Arthur will himself resume the comfortable place. Both parties have large tasks be- fore them. Your correspondent is informed that the talk of nominating Blaine and Grant for a presidential ticket is by no means a barren idealitjr. Both gentlemen are conceded to be^dfev.oted to Republican principles as 6 m willing to yield their personal prefer- nces forthe success of the ticket. Some, itfwever, say that it would be a good ticket, if reversed. I think it a good ticket to think about. There is no awful hurry about de- liding. Civil rights is not a new question, by ,ny means, but it seems that in this free aid enlightened country, and in this age )f advanced ideas, we have not yet settled ill the problems which grow out of the irst principles of the republic. The proposition of the declaration of independ- ence that all men are born free and equal ind enjoy the inalienable\ right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, etc., which our Fourth of July orators keep fresh in our memories, seems to be true with certain modifications. The colored people, the Chinese, the Indians, and the Mormons, take exceptions to our interpre- tation of their rights. The recent decision )f the Supreme Court, which amounts to this, that there is no redress except under the common law for distinctions excluding colored people from common privileges, is accepted by the colored race generally as inimical to their interests, and they pro- pose to hold the dominant party respon- ible for it. Another interesting question n civil rights is revealed this week in the eport of the Utah Commission, which has returned from its campaign against poly- gamy. This commission was authorized by Congress, under Senator Edmunds bill, to oversee the elections in Utah, and to exclude persons having two or more wives from the right to hold office or to vote. In this territory, the women vote alBO, but are excluded where they are united to a poly- gamist, so that three or more votes are lost for each male polygamist. It is hoped that the effect of this law will be to re- strain the young men and women, the ris- ing generation, from practicing the vice. It excludes them from citizenship and office, and it is assumed that this civil re- striction will be enough to gradually in- duce them to abandon polygamy. The jommission report that 12,000 voters were sxcluded in the last election. This would represent about 500 men, who were re- itrained from voting privileges because of practicing polygamy. Not a very large mmber, it must be confessed. In fact, lome people laugh at the idea, and call this a mere rose water policy which the mor- mons chuckle over. But it is at least a step in the right direction. It is a vexing >roblem. Surely its best solution lies in Jefeating the idea by peaceable methods rather than by the loss of human life, which must follow violent means. Sena- >r Edmunds is a long-headed statesman. j is by no means sure that he has not levised a way to overcome this shameless •ystem. Jumps. hundred miles, and in its appearance drouth is a curiosity which but few tourist from the east have noted. Formerly, in size it was almost navigabl for small steamers, but at the present timi presents an aspect of surface encrusted bottom of white \sand and clay, mixei when in reality the treacherous hardened covering only invites the unwary foot oi horseman to almost certain death by sink- ing in the thickened water, by clay and quicksand, which flows underneath with volume as large as our Saranac river, t Clinton county, and has a depth that has not been reached. Not long since an engine and tende: jumped the track crossing this s* wu * \ stream and sank beyond the reach of everj effort to recover it. As I stood gazirjg al this apparent river bed, mine host suddenlj spurred his horse to a jump around a bent and over a bluff, and following in the di rection from which proceeded cries oi distress, found to our horror his daughte] >n the back of her pony, the latter with only his head and neck above the treach- erous Smoky Hill and she fast sinking above her waist, crying: \O papa, come quick! I'm losing my pony, Zip! He' sinking fast.\ With the agility and dex- terity of a red akin he threw his lariette, which herdsmen carry behind the saddle to draw out cattle mired in the buffal< sinks, which fastened about the struggling creature's neck, and with his own steei drew them both ashore. She had ridde: out to assist her brother in releasing the herd from the carrolland \rounding\ them out for the day's feeding. She undertook to cross a sharp bend in the river, taking the encrusted surface forsura footing, not knowing its uncertain nature. Had*it noi sn for the timely aid of the resolutt father, and the unerring aim of his lasso, both rider and horse must have perished. This whole range of territory was for miles destitute of grass, so that California over-land bound emigrants were compelled to carry with them forage for their horses and mules, wide trackless domains bearing hardly a stick or twig the size of a tooth- pick. Now it teems with nutritious graz- ing called buffalo grass, known as superior to any for stock fatting. Interspersed yo\ will find excavations or hollows of several feet* in depth, called buffalo sinks, where they have grouped together, pawing am\ stamping until a receptacle for water is formed, affording drink the most of the grazing season for the immense herds of buffalo and antelope which formerly roamed •ver that vast range. The climate here is evidently undergoing a gradual change, and its material results upon the soil is evident. The lack of tim- ber is sorely felt, which will gradually be overcome by planting forests. Almost every stock man is planting trees. Mr. Middleby has now on his ranch a large quantity of maple, beech, oak, butternut and locust in process of growth. The suc- cessful raising of crops here is a question of time. During the years of '76 and '77 a grand rush of farming emigration set in, but the experience of a few seasons of lack of water and the hot wind which sweeps over the plains periodically, disheartened them, and those who oould left, while a few who were destitute of means to return, turned their attention to stock raising, in some instances with one cow, and they are now among the wealthiest of the Frego stock raisers. On my return to Morrisonville, N. Y., my much esteemed friend, Mr. M., will ac- company me as far as Albany, on his way to Scotland for a cargo of black Galway cattle, of which he has already imported quite a number of heads. They are lardy breed, enduring, with less liability o loss the much dreaded western ' 'bliz- irds.\ The Galway cattle are worth, delivered >n the ranch, $1,500 per pair. HUB.
