The . general result of the. Fall elections has been decidedly adverse to the Refinblican party. © States “which have heretofure, since the or‘ganization of the party uniformly eleéted its candidates, bave in several . i instances been carried by the De-} mocracy, and for the first time in. ‘sixteen’ years the Democrats have a majority in the Housés of Con, gress.” Bat still. the defeat is no ‘disaster if the party only hi « wisdom to learn wéll the lesson whieh the elections teach. If the Repubii. > "Call party ever had apy merits, it has themstill. The peorle who compose it are just as honest. and pattiotic asin the first year of its existence. ‘They have not grown corrupt. There has been no‘ falling from grace. But the uuprecedented success of the party has attracted to it unprincip\ed and scheming po-. litical adventurers, who have pushed themselves into high pfficial places, ‘and there exhibited their vicious and’ Of these we twe.do not hesitute to designate Ben,’ Butler’ as the ebief type, time a patient people have endured . the-evil they could not endorse, boping it would pass away, but at length forbearance ceas¢d, and they have entered their protest in a manner which admits of no misunderOE: The people of i agsachuiodiy as ever, ek moi as willingly follow leaders who enjoy. their ‘confidence and respect; they have experienced no change in opinion or sentiment. The lesson of the campaign evidently is that a party to be permanently successful: must have not only good principles, bat good _ €andidates. “The old saying -‘‘prin“ciples, not men,"’ contains the elements of an untruth, We can. easily seo where a bad fan repre‘senting good principles, may bea ‘worse combination than a good man representing bad “principles, and leave no redeeming feature in the. arrangement. If the Republican pafty therefore would retain its suit must presnt anly its best men for office. There is no #uch important work td hold it to* gether as in the early days of its histury, and its integrity can only be assured by constantly proving itself worthy. This we believe it will do. ‘The outlook now indicates it. If it is not done we hope the Democracy will regain all the departments of government, i et Sale of the Truckee Republican. B. T, K.

The Sacramento Union says: ‘‘Depnty Sheriff Cross of Nevada county yesterday brought. down from Poisom a colored man named Frank White, whom he has been hunting for several weeks, on a charge of ‘obtaining goods under false pretenses at’ Truckee, and also for sundry thefts. He will take him over the mountain by this afternoon's train,’ A man bas been frightening Grass Valley by measuring its streets.

The Board of Education are haying a sidewalk laid down from the school house down to the alley modation of the children who have to pass that way in going to and returning from school. It is an improvement long needed. The Board are doing just what they ought to in many particulars. i They say that ‘Clara Louisa Kellogg fastens her garters with a pair ef $500 diamond clasps, and Anna Dickinson snaps a pair of amethysts around her blue silk stockings, but the widow of Captain Jack ties up her old army sock with a pair of Shaknasty Jim’s old suspenders, : If this city will keep up its lick in the line of improvements utitil. the completion. of the railroad, it ‘will astonish old residents when they returh. sie “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” We had {his item set up for yesterday's paper, under the impression that it was Sunday.
