TLIFE glorious news from all over the . country which we announced last week lias been fully verified by later returns, and proves that the old Republi­ can party has gained the greatest vic­ tory ever achieved since its organiza­ tion, and that General James A.

It was a glorious victory and UK people rejoice. ;•* ROTOB TO WHOM HONOR IS DVB. ;/ There is a universal opinion among friends and foes to award Gen. Grant great credit for the influence he has exerted in bringing about the mag­ nificent result i»f yesterday's election. The honor is well bestowed. It is not to be denied that the great General of the war and his special followers se­ cured thousands of votes throughout the country that might otherwise have been lost through indifference. His personal presence awok3 men to the importance of the issue involved. His brief speeches were directed to the business sentiment aud to the patriot- vie sentiment of the country in about equal proportions. His appearance in the campaign was generous, coura­ geous and magnetic. It was generous because he had, for his friei-.'Js if not t for himself, suffered a sore disappoint­ ment in not receiving the nomination after the extraordinary efforts that Had been made In his behalf. It was •ourageous because his active parti- l tAnship was sure to excite bitter erit- Icisms, as it did. But it was still mag- *etic because the First Citizen of the V- tJuited States exerted the same power | to command admiration and summon fy a following that lias been character- y l«tlcof his entire career. It is only lair to remember that the others who j Had been unsuccessful aspirants for the distinction Garfield won, joined in the Campaign heartily and both Blaine ^ '..#nd Sherman have done noble work, tv Which will be gratefully acknowledged their party and by their country. $ethaps tlie special strength which ; general Grant brought to thecampaign Consisted not only _#of the 3 powerful |f ; Hold upon the people, but also in giv- J& ;- lug the lie to his enemies aud traducere ft who predicted that lie would be luke- p\ warm and indifferent.

EDITOR P I.AINOEALKR:--The people of the loj'al North marched boldly to the discharge of their highest duty on election day, under the benignant smiles of Providence, who vouchsafed a balmy air and golden sunshine, shitn- merlng with the nutumual haze of an Indian Summer day. Never were clt- iaens of any land called to duties more solemn, momentous or exalted. Right well and nobly was the battle fought, aud a long drawn sigh of relief burst forth from every patriotic heart when the work was done, as the news of vic­ tory caiue flashing over the wires. It was the fall of Richmond and the sur­ render at Appomattox repeated again, fifteen years after those notable events. It WAS a re-consecration to loyalty and to God. made by a peoplo who know what sacrifices mean, and a keen appre­ ciation of the glorious thing it. is for men to die for country and yet think it not less noble to live, act and vote, so that the couptry itself may not die. To tlie world it presented the spectacle of a ^reat loyal people, riding upon the topmost wave of commercial pros­ perity. the like of which was never knftwn before, speaking in a voice louder than booming cannon or th« surging-waves of old ocean--saying, labor shall be protected, business ac­ tivities shall be fostered, men's rights everywhere shall be respected, the freedman shall be guaranteed what eve­ ry other man has, and by the Eternal he shall vote and that vote shall bo count­ ed; if he is murdered, his murderer shall be punished; he shall be helped in his education by the Government in his efforts to fit himself for citizenship. In short, it was the loyal people of the North, in the presence of titc mem­ ories of the loyal dead, re-aflirining their devotion to the Union and all the holy principles for which their he­ roic martyrs gave up their precious lives. The rejoicing here at the CapJtcl over the results have been manifest everywhere. Even the honest Demo crats admit that, on the who]*, it is vastly better for the country that the healthy condition of public affairs now existing should not be interfered with by any change of policy. The crowd of hungry Democrats who have been gathering here for the last two years to be on hand for places when the cliAiige did come, find their hearts have suddenly slipped down into their breeches pockets, and in their despair, cry: ( , What shall I do? Where tsan I go To find relief from all my woe? » This campaign has been carried by the most \iersistent kind of effort The country can never know the anioi-.nt of work that has been done here at the Capital by the National Congressional Committee under the direction of its cool and deliberate chairman, the Hon. J. A. Hubbell, of Michiga-.i, who seems to have fallen heir to the sagacity and political act* inen of the lamented Senator Ohfcndler He has been assisted by the Hon. Ed­ ward McPherson. as Secretary, who has no equal in this country as a polit­ ical statistician, ready writer and or­ ganizer of the detailsof campaign work. The potent agencies that have gone out from these headquarters in the shape of documents, pamphlets, speech­ es, etc., etc,, can only bo reckoned by thousandsfof tons. The telegraph has been used this year as never before, putting this Committee in communi­ cation momentarily with every section of the country. All honor to these offi­ cials, who have so faithfully and suc­ cessfully conducted the affairs of the campaign. The Solid South now stands bv Itself on its own issues. Since 1864 the North have been unvilling to consider our Southern brethren as ready to set up a form of government to antagonize the union, but at Cincinnati, Wade Hamp­ ton made a bed for the So'id South, and they must now lie in it. The North now understands just what the Solid South mean. Illinois justly ranks as the leading meat producing State, and will make a better showing than heretofore, and a fair share of premiums will be fairly won by our breeders. There will be some English bred stock at the show. The classification of prizes makes. It possible for a single steer to receive premiums valued 9330; a single wether #180, and a single barrow 0185, besides competing for the larg* car-load pre­ miums, offered for cattle, sheep and hogs. All Interested In feeding and breed­ ing meat stock will be greatly benefit­ ted by attending this Show, at which the best specimens of fat cattle, sheep and hogs to be found on the continent will be exhibited" The National Live Stock Journal, speaking of the Show, says: "Don't forget the Chicago Fat Stock Show that commences Nov. 15. Let every man that wants to educate him­ self on the cattle question, on mattets of feeding, breeding and management, o'n what constitutes true merit in the beef breeds--on the difference between, breeds when matured, on the relative advantages of early and late maturity --in short, everybody interested coiiie to this great school of breeder's and feeder's art. It has no equal on the continent, and 110 fanner is so wise but lie may here learn something that will be worth money to him in his bust, ness." The very low excursion rates grant­ ed by the Chicago & Alton a,|id Illinois Central Railroads will enable many Sangamon county fanners to attend the Show, which opens at the Exposi­ tion building. Chicago. Monday, Nov­ ember 15th. and continues during the week. Nearly all the roads running to Chicago have agreed to give excursion rates to the Fat Stock Show. BARGAINS --FOR THE PEOPLE-- f V*' Cnraoattiea of a Voter's Registry. Prom the Sacramento (Cat.) Union. ffvV The great register of Sacramento County, Just sent out by the County ' • Werk to thelvarious voting precincts. ' contains the iinnies of 11.426 voters.-- | --j" the lists will be found a large num~ L *)er of names where the initials are in­ closed in quotation marks. In all such cases the explanation is that the voter has no name for the Initial. In some instances It happens that all the Init­ ials are tHds'quoted. and those are cas- 8 wherein the voter has 110 give^i name, unless the initials are to be call­ ed names. Out of the whole number of persons registered, 978 wore born in ihe cottgitry known as the German Em­ pire, including Belgium and the Neth­ erlands; 2,180 were born under the flag of Great Brltaiu.aud of tlie-e 1.239 were born In Ireland. Of all other For­ eign nationalities there are 646, one |>ervm being born of American parent* In China. To this are to be Jadded 17 born at sea, whose national­ ity are not indicated on the register.-- I lassifyinsc them, for convenience sake, foreigner*, the result gives 7,597 tlve-born persons registered a* vot- er* in this county. Of this number on­ ly 542 were born in tiie State of Cali- The Chicago Fat Stock Kliow. (Illinois State Journal, Nov. 4. 1880.) The entire force at the agricultural department, is busily engaged in com­ pleting entries for the Third Annual Fat Stock Show which, from present ! indications, promises to be & very ] large and attractive exhibition of fat I cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry. This i county will be creditably represented : by John Ilighmore, ol Rochester, who will show some Ipure bred shorthorn steers of great excellence, which, with the large exhibit of fat. sheep by Geo Pickrell, of Wheatfield, will ensur.-' Sangamon county a liberal share of preiii iums. Mr. Hickrell was the future recipi­ ent of the grand challenge plate last year for the best show in the sheep class, aud all who have seen tiie sheep fitted up for the 1880 Show, pronounce tliein a better lot than shown in 1879. Kentucky will have some cattle at tlie Show which, if as good as the stock shown last season, may insure the highest honors of the show beimr won two successive years by that State. Two prominent Ohio breeders will compete for the prizes offered to through-bred short-horn steers. Iowa breeders and feeders are mak­ ing -tiviable records, and tlie stock en­ tered from that State will doubtless compare favorably for the best. Indiana will have stock on exhibi­ tion as usual, and it will be nothing new if the exhibitors from that State take a respectable number of blue rib­ bons. Michigan was well represented last A DOG THAT DIKD OF (iKIKF. Dr. Martin, a gentleman living on Decatcr street, tells the Vonntitutinn a remarkable story about a dog who actually died of a broken heart. '"Yon, remember." said tlie pleasant Doctor, "that about two months ago uiv father- in-law, Sir. W. II. Harvill, who had reached a green old age, died. You may or may not know that he owned at the time of his death a very tine bull-dog--a huge, fat, sleek, fellow, who went by the name ot Ponto. For months and months before his deatli this dog was his constant companion.-- There was something almost human in tlie devotion of the dog to his mas­ ter, and. as a natural consequence, tiie master was particularly fond of his dog. Tlie daily movements of the old gentleman, for a long time before his last sickness were as regular as those of a clock, and Ponto followed him as surely as his very shadow. They were simply inseparable. When the old man died'Ponto took his place by tiie coffin and du^ot budge until it was taken fromvth<riooHK" The lie got up and followed it etaely to tlie hearse, and followed the hew^se to the grave.-- Ponto came back to the house a chang­ ed .flog. Ev«ry night he lav upon his rug in tiie .porch aud moaned pireously all night long. I have never heard any expression of human sorrow that was half so plaintive and touching as the moaning of that dog, as night after night, . he writhed upon that nig.-- Every day found him making tiie rounds just as lie used to do before tlie old man died. He would walk , slowly up tlie street, and after a while pass down the other side on his way out to tlie plantation. He would; come back to tiie store, and after laving under tlir.t chair a few moments, wouM get up, look into.my face iu tlie most pleading manner.and then he would go up to the house, and after taking his place by the sofa iu tlie hall, suddenly spring up and walk through my fath­ er-in-laws bedroom. He was looking for ills dead master. The family let hini have his own way. and I did all in my power to console him. I tempt­ ed him with tiie ciioicest meat, but he refused to eat. I offered him tlie warmest milk, he would not drink. He went about with his head down, tlie very picture of sorrow. He dwindled away almost to a skeleton, staggering around daily to tli«* places visited by iiis master in life and at night giving vent to his distressful moaning. But tliis could not ia<t forever, so one day about live weeks after the old man died, Ponto came dragging his lank and weak body down tiie street--that same street which lie had traveled so mail}' bright morning with his master. When lie got by the fence there he stopped aud sank upon the ground. I ran to hhn, and, lifting him in my am*, car­ ried lijin into tlie yard. I laid him gently on the ground--1 wish now I had taken him into tiie house and placed him in tfie old man's room, for (and tlie kind Doctor turned his head, there was a tremor iu his tone), for he was dead."--Atlanta Confutation.
