R« turns indicate- uuti-.istakauly that Wui. T-athrop. tl»e Winnebago fraud, is elected to represent this District in Oeiijf ress for the next tto years. If we "knew, or even Had reason to suppose ti.»t this was the free oltoiee and wish of the people of the District, we would have nota woul toN say, hut we know otherwise. He was nominated by- fraud and elected by the most brazen and open-handed bribery and corrup­ tion every known in the history of this country. \Ve make not this charge for the purpose of bangy<n£ idle words, for the disgrace will be upon the Fourth District for the next two years, say what we wiH, but merely to show the honest voters sthat they have no voice in »uch matters, but that the District it run by a clique and Ring of the worst political thieves and cut throats that ever disgraced a Nation. No honest man who ever read the proceedfngs of the different County and District Conventions can deny that Lathrop was put int* the field by fraud and trickery, and the Ring, seeing that the cause of their pet was gradually weakening, on the eve of election sent money into every town in the District to buy votes to save their forlorn hope. That they have succeeded is but anoth­ er evidence that the people are not awake to the true issue, and iearn when to* late that the Ring and Machine politicians still have them by the throat, and jmc constantly digging at their vitals, running the offices of the District fur their own benefit, utterly ignoring all justice and right in the matter. Every honest Republican in the District should hang his head with shame. . The Banner District of Illino­ is no more unless she can claim the title through being controlled toy the worst set of political thieves on the conti­ nent. To this honor she is justly en­ titled. But then she will be represent­ ed by that extremely honest/ man, Lathrop, who acknowledged before election that he would be financially ruined if he was defeated. But how is he to make up this small fortune that fce has spent in this canvass? Here is auether question that the people may want answered in the future. Can his promised, Postmasters at Harvard, Woodstock, Elgin and Belvidere an­ swer this question. |#*We hear of "tramps*' everywhere. The question what to do with them is becoming serious. While many are doubtless shiftless and lazy, large num­ bers are ready and anxious for work. A correspondent of the Boston Journal refering to the numerous farms in New Hampshire, estimated! at 2000, that are lying waste having been deserted by the young folks who have flocked to the cities in their desire for rapid wealth, suggests that tramps and the unemployed workmen in the cities be sent to cultivate tbem. thus securing their own support and raising a surplus for market. Bettfr Jhis than tor the city to provide the unemployed with work as they demand. The Chicage evening Journal says: "The committee appointed by the signers of the petition of Judge Mc­ Allister, asking him to resign, fcrually presented that formidable document to the unjust Judge yesterday afternoon. He did not execute his foolish threat to commit the presenters for "contempt of court." He was evidently detered by the magnitude and high respecta­ bility of the petition and its signers. Of course he will not resign; but it is safe to say that neither he uor any other Judge will dare again to outrage the public sense of justice by such in­ famous rulings as his in the Sullivan trial. If the case was to be tried again before the same man, he could hardly have the brazen impudence to refuse to allow testimony in rebuttal of the charge that Mr. Ilanford struck Mrs Sullivan, The Election. The latest returns received from the Election oil Tuesday indicate that Sanrae? J. Tilden is elected President, and Thomas Hendricks Vice President of these United States. This announce, meut we believe will be to many, as it was to us, a surprise and disappoint­ ment. There is a bare possibility that thi# result may be changed, but the hope is Small, and consequently we must accept the inevitable result. The vote will he close, but the rasult was so entirely unexpected that the length of countenances to be seen on the streets is not to he wondered at. New York. Connecticut, New Jersey, Indiana, Florida, and probably Wisconsin, Loui- siatiu. and Oregon, have given Tilden their votes, together with all the Southern States, except So uth Carolina. His majority in New York City is & little under 50,000, and in the State over 30,000. By our next issue we will be able to give the exact result. LATER. The latest dispatches received up to noon to-day (Thursday) indicate the possibility that Hayes and Wheeler are elected. The returns are coming Vn slow, and it will not do for either side to shout very loud j ust ye t. McHBNRT. The election in this village passed off quietly, and although the issues were exciting and men were working hard and earnestly, we believe no ill- feelings was manifested, and all passed off in the most pleasant manner. Four hundred and eighty-six votes were cast, an "unusual large vote, and were divided between the different candidates a& follow. President--Hays 215. Tilden 263. Governor--Cullum 220, Stewart 266. Congress--Farnsworth 275, Hurlbut 163, Lathrop 46. , Senator--Haines 281, Joslyn 198. Representative--Granger613£, Janae§ 103, Dennis 307J, Gilbert 412}, Whit- more 12. Circuit Clerk--Salisbury 220, Rich­ ards li>4. Dwight 101. Sheriff--Van Curen 329, S ted man 164. MCHENRY COUNTY. The result in this county is the el­ ection of the entire Republican ticket. The offices of Sheriff and Circuit Clerk were hotly contested and consequently th e majerites on both of these offices were small, but we presume the successful jpandidates are well satisfied as it is and now that it is over out­ siders will be obliged to acquiesce. The following are the new officers elected; Slates Attorney--Ira R. Curtis. Clerk of the Circuit Court--E. E. Kichards. Sheriff--D. A. Stedman. Corner--John S. C'ummings. At the time of going to press we are unable to give the majorites, but will do so next week. ILLINOIS The Republicans carried Illinois by a majority of from 20,000 to 30:000. Lew Steward is not only badly defeated for Governer in the State at large, but lost even his own county (Kendall,) and every town in that county, and even L'is own village of Piano. Culloin proved to be what we said he was be­ fore his nomination, the most popular man in the State. His vote was largely aheaa of the Presidential Ticket. XHK LEftlSI WtlSR Hon. M. L. Joslyn of Woodstock was elected as State Senator on Tuesday over E. M. xlaincs of Lake county by a handsome majority. For Re pre sen tar tives Hon. F. K. Granger,of McIIenry. aad Hon. W.. A. James, of Lake county, Republicans, and E. M. Dennis of Lake, Democrat, were elected. The full re­ turns not being in we are unable to give the majorities. A special,. dated "Camp in the Field en Yellowstone, Oct. 27, via Bismarck, D. T., November 4," says thst General Miles, commanding the troeps en the Yellowstone, after fight­ ing, defeating and pursuing Sitting Bull aad the confederated tribes under him, thi« day accepted the surrender ef 400 lodges of Indians belonging at the Cheyenne agency, these tribes surren dering five of their principal chiefs as hostage as aguarantee of their faithful compliance with the terms of the sur­ render. These bands are to go at once to the agency, where, upon their arri­ val, they will submit to the require­ ments of the government. The Indians held as hostages left this evening for St. Paul under a 6trong guard. ISTA prosecuting attorney in San Francisco the other day, submitted the case as follows: "Your Honor, there has been ne criminal before this Court in the last decade who has proved so vile a creature as this prisoner. He is a villain of the w«rst type--a monster, a brute who should be annihilated and his carcass swept frem the face of the THANKSGIVING DA*. President Grant issue<| the following proclamation on the 20|h. From year to year we have been ac­ customed to pause in our daily pursuits, and -set apart a time to offer our thanks to Almighty God for special blessings. He has vouchsafed to us, with our prayers for a continuance thereof. We have at this time equal reason to be thankful for His continued protection, and for many material bleesiugs which His bounty has bestowed. In addition to the favdrs accorded to us as individ­ uals, we have especial occasion to ex­ press our thanks to Almighty God that, by His providence aad guidance our government,established a ceutury ago, has been able to fulfil] the purpose ef its founders in offering an asylum to the people of every.race, securing civil and religious liberty to All within its border*, and meting out to every indi­ vidual alike justice and equality before the law. It is moreover especially our duty to offer our humble prayers to the Father of All Meroiea for a continuance of His divine favor to us as a nation and as individuals. By reason "ef all these considerations, 1, Ulyssws S. Grant, President of the United States, do recommend to the people of the United States to devote the 30th day of No­ vember next to the expressions oi their thanks and prayer to Almighty God, and laying aside their daily avocations and all secular occupations, to assem­ ble in their respective places of worship and observe such day as a day of thanksgiving and rest. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this 'twenty-sixthday of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-six and of the independence of the UnitedStates of America the one hundmd and first. By the President: U.S. GRANT. HAMILTON FISH. Secretary of State, A Train was wrecked near Somerville N. J., on the New Jersey Central R. R.,last Tuesday by au open switch, which had pro.bably been turn­ ed by one of the striki ng hands who had previously been on the road. The engine was thrown upon its side, two coaches piled upon it, and three other coaches thrown from the track. Three persons were killed and several more seriously injured. A train passed the place in safety 45 minutes before, show­ ing that the switch had been turned after it. Although no trace of the guilty person has been found, stih' it is evident that the act was a malicious one, as the switch was plugged opeu and the green light turned to indicate that it was closed and all right. A Mnager *t the Centennial. Many strangers at the Centennial are not yet aware that they can't get out, even for a moment, and get back, o.i the same entrance fee. I saw au old man try it the other day. He says to the gateman: UI want to ge out a minute. You'll know me when I come back, won't you ?" Gateman--1kYes: Pll know you by a fifty cent stamp.'* Stranger--k'What! Ain't the money I Pfiid you good tor all day?"^ G.--"Yes; it's good for ^11 day, if you stay in all day." ^ S.--"But I want a bite j teet, It'll cost me 50 cents in here.^ 1 G.--"That's the rule, o)d man, and you'll have to stand it. Blit I'll tell you what you can do. "3&»u can go down by them palings, and there's some boys outside will sell you a sand­ wich for 20 cents." * 1 followed the old gentleman down by the palings to witness his invest­ ment. Sure enough, he found an au­ burn-haired boy with sandwiches, and taking one through the slats, passed out a 50 cent stamp. "This is 1876" says the brick top Arab. ~ "---n £.--" W ell I guess I k no wed that be­ fore. Gim my change H, Arab--"This is Centennial year." S.--(snapping his finger nervously through the crack)--"Here, boy! I don't want no fooling. Gimmy change right away." A.--"Don't yiouknov. this is Centenr nialyear?" S.--"Yes, sholly I do. Gim my change, you owdacious devil.*1 A.--"Don'tgive any change Centen­ nial year." S.--"You cussed, infernal,red-headed brat of Satan, if you don't gim me 30 cents, I'll come out there and "get a policeman hold of you." A.--"Now, mister, that wouldn't be business. You don't want to come out here and pay 20 cents to get back --just for 30 cents--aud if you was ter do it for spite, where'd I be when you get out? You see this is the Cen­ tennial year. Have to make our jack this year. Now, you go along quiet and nice, and it'll be the same next Centennial." Finale--Arab performs a short war- dance and yells: "Run here, Jimmy! I've done it to another of 'emI" NEW FIRM. BLAKE & BENTFIELD.

Have stockholders any rights that managers are bound to respect? The condition of some of the most important railways makes the question peitinent. Great properties which ought to earn millions yearly have been plundered with scarcely an attempt at concealment. Others have been com­ pletely gutted, under cover of confusfd or false reports. All examination or inquiry is denounced as "astock-jobbing report" by managers who have skinned the property so that nothing is left but debts, and want to sell out and retire rich. Is a stockholder, then, a person whom it is right »n<^ reputable to rob? Or are railway managers a privileged class, whose divine right it is to relieve other ptople ef their earnings. HaT'Undoubtedly there will be strong demand for American cereals from Qreat Brtain this year, which, of course will enliven business in that country. Mr. Caid, who is an authority on British agriculture, shows that the wheat crop of the united kingdom is far from abundant. This arises frem the land devoted to wheat having been 678,000 acres less than the average acreage of 1874and the seven preceding years. Mr. Caid says Great Britian wriJl rely mainly on this country to make good the deficiency, and predicts better priceR. «rTh« fears that the approaching winter would be an exceptionally se­ vere one on our working people, are being rapidly dispelled by the revival at last of trade in most of its branches.
