The oflicial canvass of the October elections in" the eastern States show largely increased Republican majori ties, even over those of Mr. Lincoln in lsGL This is but another evidence of the soundness of the doctrines of the Republican party, for the right must prevail, and no principles except those based upon right and justice can stand the test of a popular verdict for any great length of time. "Policy" may rule for a time, bu' principles are eter nal; and those advocating just meas ures will come out victorious in the end, no matter whether in political, social or buMnrss affairs. The groundwork of the Republican faith is Justice. and the people have decided in its fa vor s opposed to "pohcy." Let the pany Lut kee-p in the straight traik and, as the New Yt-rk Herald tay3, the Republicans have a rjuarter of a cenlur' l:are of power in this coun try." J us.ice will prevail in as en lightened a country as the United Stat.'?, and the men or the party that forsakes her paths fur the more tortu ous cne of "policy " will go down as the retd before the tempest, or the Johnson party before the indignation of a clear seeing at:d freedom loving people. Let demagogues and 'policy" m t-n beware. CONVICTED AXU ES(JAIE1. The trial of James P- ' Howe and John Pen'se,' charged with the murder of George L. Gideon, was brought, to a clos yesterday morning- It resulted in the acquittal of Pense.and the con viction of Howe for manslaughter and a senteuce of one year in the Peniten tiary. Howe was remanded to the jail, from .whence he made his escape about dark last evening, under the fol lowing circumstances: The colored mau Gibson. havi,ng no place to stay after his acquittal, and having no money was left in .the jtil over night Hawe and Gibson were the only prisoners in the jail. Alout dark, or a little before, Gibson came running up 6tairs, where deputy sher iff Gass and family live, saying that Howe had broken jail. Mrs. Gass sent him to the Court House to inform the sheriiT. which he doue promptly, but no traces of the prisoner could be found. Gibson says he had entered a back apartment in the jail and closed the door. He heard the main entrance to the jail opened, and upon looking out sivv Howe just emerging there from, with a bundle of clothes which he had prepared. The jail was fastened by a huge padlock on the outside, a counterpart of which is not known in the county. The lock had been opened and was found Iviu? on the floor iuit within the J f door, without key or other implement with which it could have been opened. There is a grate at the side of the door, where a person on the inside can reach around to the lock. It is the belief of sheriff Gas. as well as most 01 our citizens, that the loclc was opened by some one on the out-ide. or eLe that the prisoner had been provided vi;h a ... - key. e catnot iimgine mat tnis lock could have been unbolted except with a regularly formed key, as it i? one of peculiar shape; but the question is, how was one obtained? Some in rrniouii outsider has assisted in the e matter. Blame cannot be attached to Sheriff Gass, as the prisoner was connneu in nr.,Mp!v ihfi same manner that he has , been tince last spring. side of Congress as to the Republican. Had it been a measure which Demo crats considered a , , party matter, we are of opinion they could have killed it "with fourteen Republican votes against it in the Senate and forty three: in the House We apprehend they could have defeated the Constitutional Amendment or the Civil Rights bill with that much help from the Rpubli can sue. 1 WAS IT A "CANAItDI" Forney states it is the general bel'ef in Washington that President Johnson did, in some shape, submit to his At torney General the questions which a short time ago the telegraph charged him with. Forney says: 'I have not conversed with a single intelligent observer, who does not believe that the ouestions published in the Philadel- a a phia Ledger on the came from Andrew if not in a written his Attorney General, undoubtedly in consultation with his associates. These questions are tumply a better preservation of his own notorious plat form a clearer condensation of his own threats." The author of the so-called "canard also says that from a reliable gentle man he learned "that a paper had been seen in the Attorney General' office with the printed heading, "Executive Mansion," containing a series of ques tions iu relation to the actual status. under the Cosnlitulion, of the present Congress, and Can nature and extent of the powers and duties of the President under the Constitution, both as regard. the jiresenl Congress, and the right of the Southern Stales to represent itton. 11th of October, Johnson himself, communication to i A1 - t A DORHINGTON, ESTATE ADEN i , n t V" Vl;V-k?l"i tV Vol... mtt.tnouih, Neb.; Trk: Harvey.

The e'ec ticn of several Members of Congress is to be contested. The Chicago Re publican enumerates them as follows: The election of a number of Demo cratic Congressmen is to be contested. In the Second Indiana District, the election of Kerr over Gen. Gresham is believed to have been effected by importation of voters from Kentucky. In the Fourth Indiana District, the election of Holman, Democrat, over G rover, will be contested tor gross frauds in Dearborn county, where Hol man resides, and where the usual vote is immensely increased. The electi ;. n! fieri. Morsran. Democrat, in the Thirteenth Ohio District, is to be con tested.

About six o'clock in ihe evening, when Mr. Terry was returning from tea, he discovered a liizhtor small fire in the building and was on the point of going over to see what caused it; but on second thought, opposed it was a fire built by the me chanics and therefore abandonee! nia first intention. The fire is evidently the result of accident or carelessness. We understand Mr. Irish had ihe building insured for S3.000.
