naturally turned with the first moment of
freedom into otter indifference to all reli
gion. The disgrace of hia father, who was
beaten and humiliated into the dust by
hanghty and victorious Austrians, became
the good' fortune of the heir, to whom the
throne came thus: as it were, unawares
and as a God send.

was well aware what part he was called
upon to play, he found himself hailed king
by a United Italy. But Fortune which
gave with so lavish a hand, took from
him what was worth to him almost as much,
and the newly won crown Was draped in
to mourning for theloss of his eldest born.
Nor was it his heart only that was wound
ed: hia pride suffered even more, when his
mighty ally, who had fought professedly
for an idea, came and asked for a consider
ation. As if to I urn the wine of intoxica
tion offered by enthusiastic Italy into hit
ter worm wood the price to be paid was
nothing less than the ancient patrimony
of the house of Sav. .y. AH that had ren
dered his race famous in the annals of the
world wal bound up with the noble little
dnch.v ; there his ancestors had ruled wise
ly and fought bravely, and there rested
the ashes of his forefathers. Adding iu-
sult to injury the French Emperor de
creed that the devoted subjects of the un
fortnnate king, bis personal friends, and
loving tieighbors, should vote themselves
Frenchmen, and when the farce was con
summated, Victor Emanuel had. aold' hja
birthright for a mess of pnttage. r
A few years passed and Fortune began
her wicked play with her victim once more.
She gave him the long-coveted klnirdbnts

those whom he loved in hia soul. An ar
my of invasion entered once more bis
kingdom, and when they had defeated and
destroyed his beloved subjects, he had to
kiss the rod and thank but crafty ally for
his moderation !
Surely kings have their sorrows as well
as commoners, and being placed high
above the pity and the sympathy that con
sole our grief and heal our wounds, tbey
have little to be envied. As to Victor Em
manuel we fear the end it not yet. The
Roman question is a cancer in the great
body politic of Italy; there can be no
doubt as to the fact that the nation, with
one heart and one mind, are determined
upon the destruction of the temporal pow
er of the Pope and the choice of Rome as
the oi l v fit capital of Italy. Thia ia not
an idea merely but a conviction, based up
on high political reasons which the people,
a is always the case with such questions,
feel instinctively. What tiie precise rea
son may be which m?kes the t rencb F.m
peror for the time the protector of ti e
Pope, seems to be unknown as yet ; so
much, however, is certain that Italy is too-
poor to venture upon resistance.
It cast only be hoped for toe-sake of a
noble people who have bat just achieved
independence and are entering upon a path
of worthy reform, as wall as for the fake
of the peace of the world at large, that the
unfortunate Kiug may find in bis old age
that happiness which Providence baa so
far denied him, amid the most brilliant ex
ploits and be most splendid successes that
ever fell to the lot of modern monarch.

ATttrLtIKf -SCENE.
Jbat the Detroit Post, November 7,
A gentleman who arrived from Chicago
on Tuesday morning gives the following
particulars in relation to an affair which
transpired on the train, and if the eircam
btancts are as stated, they are indeed bod:
A mi'dli- aged man came into the steeping
car, just after leaving Chicago, on Monday
night and ordered a berth. It was observ
ed by hia fellow travelers that he seemed
to be in great mental agitation, and would
often press his hands to hia temples, at the
same time uttering to himself unintelligi
ble wards. After entering the berth he
commenced groaning, and was then asked
the cause of hia trouble, when he stated
that be waa the captain of a boat which
had been laid up for the winter at Milwau
kee, here be had been paid hut wages,
amounting to f 3,000, but had been entic
ed ints a gambling saloon and had there
fallen a victim to two sharpers, who intro
duced be' novel game known of "three
card atoate," and left him penniueas.
From a friend he hod borrowed money
enough to bear his expenses to Buffalo,
where baa a wife and three children, whose
sufftstonee waa to have been the money
he had lost, lie repeatedly exclaimed,
"Oh! my poor family, what wilt become
of them this winter! 1 hey will

Total Republican, 151
From this it is assumed that the Repub
licans will have a majority of fifty-three in
the electoral college, without counting any
votes from the ten unreconstructed States.
This is about as unreasonable an estimate
as could be made. The folly of claiming
Ohic directly after the overwhelming po
litical revolution in that State, which up
set the Radical party and transferred the
Legislature to Democratic control, is too
apparent to require further comment. It
ia scarcely less foolish and presumptuous
to claim Indiana, where the late local elec
tions fumished unmistakable signs that the
State has returned, to its old Democratic
love, and that Radicalism is doomed in that
State. Minnesota and Wisconsin were so
nearly snatched out of the hands of the
Radicals at the late elections, and the Rad
ical majorities, once large, are now so mis
.bly nA mtmiwmmiy mmH, t w HtV
cr admire the assurance which so positive
ly c 'edits those States to the Radical side
of the slate for 1868. The Democratic
victo ies and large gains in every portion
of Illinois last week, famish but poor rea
son for claiming; that State as Radical.

The entire electoral vote of the States,
excluding unreconstructed States, is 249.
It appears from the above that the States
which have gone Democratic this year east
1 ID electoral votes, requiring only six more
to give them a majority of the 249 elector
al votes of the North. Th indications
furnished by the elections in Indiana and
Illinois in October are such as to warrant
the Democracy in claiming those States aa
Demcratic, and likely to do ftill more so
in 1868. Most certainly nothing in the
elections in those States warrants the Rad
icala in coolly setting them down on their
side of the slate. Those two States east
together 29 votes, which reasonably may
be added to the States where general elec
tions have been held which have gone De
mocratic. Adding the 29 to the 119 al
ready mentioned, and the Democrats hare
148 of the 249 Northern electoral votes, or
a majority of 47. Bat Ohio, Indiana, and
