A slip was handed us tho other night with one of Mr. Lincoln's 6tories on it. Brother Dovey made such a good speech that we could not find it in our heart to spoil its efiect by anything less appro priate ; but now that election is over the story is just as applicable. Dill Reynolds had a fine old blooded mare that had run Uiany a race and won many a prize. At last they turned her out to rest, and in course of time Bill found that she was with foal. Expecting nothing less than a "world beater," a racer, Bill in due time marched out to see the colt. One glance sufficed. Instead of a short haired,! clean limbed, fine grained "Abdallah," a runty, long eared frowsly haired, mule colt appeared. "A slouchy, long eared mule colt, by Moses 1" shrieked Bill, in wrath, and left ; while the old marc, after one square look at her progeny, gave a snort of disgust, threw up her heels in a vicious kick at her disgrace and made for the bush. She was never seen afterwards, and the mule was left to shift for itself. The Cincinnati Convention miht aptly bo compared to the old tnare. Its pains and labors were great, vhila the Bill Reynolds, in the world of politics looked rn with anxious expectation, 6ure that nothine but cood blooded stock would h nfTomd for such a race on euch a track. The eolt was born, aod as the tele rrmnri flashed the name of Horace Gree lv ticross the contiaeEt, the people shouted ' slouchy mule colt, by Moses, and tho convention (its tuother) after nn irood look at its work left him to wiggle for himself, and out. rhe's wiggled A Soldier, telling hia motltf of the terrible fire at Chickamauga, was astea . , u.. l,- nAt rcf hhind a tree. ..t,-i" said he : there waso enougb for ih9 oncers.

Card Jrcm Greelej, - Horace Greeley prints a card saying "The undersigned will resume the editor- ship of the Tribune, which he rclin-1,1,:, qui?hed on mbarkingin another line of business six months ago. Henceforth it shall be his endeavor to make this a thoroughly independent journal treating all parties and political movements with judicial hurness and can lor, but courting the lavor and deprecating the worth ot no one. It he can nereaiter say any- thing that will tend heartily to unite the whole American people on the broad platform of universal amnesty and im- partial suffrage, he will gladly do so. Pnr th rrpnnt. however, he can best command that consumatioa by silence J and forbearance. 1 T23 EESULT CP TES'ELSCKO: Our unavoidable absence from town yesterday prevented any comment being made on the election returns. Suffice it to say, that we have gained a great nad gionous victory; that the thousands up on thousands lolled up for Gen. Grant, prove beyond even the shadow of the suspicion of a doubt that he was the free, glad, heartfelt choice of the people of these United States. It proves that a straight, clear, consistent record is worth something to a man, and it settles for ever the principle that there is no real gain, a&d no use in this free and cnlight- eued community, for any party to run an expediency candidate with the sole hopes of gaining votes . from the oppo site party. The N. Y. Tribune claims- that tho Liberal defeat is owing to the corrupt use of money, but that argument is so futile; so utterly senseless, that Mr. Whitelaw Reed will be the first man to deny that 7te ever sanctioned such a theory, six months hence. You eannot buy the whole people of the United States. No party can. These majorities are so large, so unanimous and so overwhelming that all talk' about the votes of such a mass of people being bought is idle, jdje va poring. The fact is that tho people distrusted G reeley--wcre afraid of his vagaries; hi3 queer financial theories, and also dis trusted the power of the party that in the main, backed him, or by the help of whose votes alone, he could hope to be elected. That truth, staunch adherence to a fixed policy, and equal -ights, have tri umphed over connivance, vacilating-cou victions, and a bold faced attempt to override the well known sentiments ol a large portion of the Union, is the les- son of these elections. Our victory is tremendous. It is sublime. Let us be thankful and bear no malice. Greeley says he ingoing to return to bis first love, the Tribune, and that hereafter he will support J.he Adminis tration and be a good boy. That business meeting of the stock holders a short time ago, probably had something to do with this sensible determination.

The Luited States Cec- tennial Commission hasreceived uo Gov- ercment aid, such as England extended to her World's Fair, and France to her Universal Exposition, yet the labor and responsibility imposed upon the Com mission is as great as in either of those undertakings. It is estimated that ten millions of dollars will be required, and this sum Congress has provided shall be raised by stock subscription, and that the people shall have the opportunity of subscribing in proportion to the popula tion of their respective States and Ter ritories' The Commission looks to the un failing patriotism of the people of every section, to see that each con tributes its share to the expenses, and receives its share of the benefits of an enterprise in which all are so deeply in terested. " It would further earnestly urge the formation ia each State' and Territory of a Centennial organization, which shall in time sec that county as sociations are formed, so that when the nations arc gathered together n JS7G each Commonwealth can view with pride the contributions she has made to the National glory.

J. II. NOTKWARK. Plate Sup't Inimig'n, Nebaaska, Gen. Grant says, in subitaoce, that he is glad the people of this country, his country, have vindicated his charac ter and tstified in the strongest possible way the way a free country does ex press its opinio--ti the fact that they do not believe the calumnies circulated against kim. And we soy that (Jen. Grant stands to-day twenty per cent, higher in the estimation of all honest, sound ihinking men than he did at the outset of this canvass. His patience, his calm forbearance, under the vilest abuse have won him hosts of friends, It was oiwe said of a famous English man, that, "he never said a foolish thing and never did a wLe one." but we have found a man who through a long and. trying career ha not only never said a foolish thing but has unmistakebly done m-i-ny wise thing-, for the nation, for himself and for his party, not the least of which was to hold his tongue in the ftce cf sueh great provocation. It is said the washer-women of Chica go are getting up a wring. Dr. Renner, wbese judgment on po litical matters, is usually good, is con siderably put out, by the election re turns; but he i(ands his defeat with re markable good grace. In his last issue of the Stuats Zeitung, he says : "There is much comfort in the idea that the defeat of yesterday is not the first one in history. The list of the vanquished is precisely as long as that of the victors We have plenty of com pany of which we need not be ashanied. Were not Caesar, Napoleon, Frederick ihe Great and many others defeated? Such a thing can happen in the "regu lated families" among the greatest men, most heroic armies and to the purest patriots.
