Philadelphia Correspondence-
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 16.
The attendandance on Wednesday
last was over 93,000 paid admissions,
and on Thursday footed up over 100,-
000. This vast throng, composed of
people from all sections of the country
and of all conditions of life, is quite as
great a curiosity as the Exposition
itself, and in its varied phases affords
an interesting study to the student of
human nature. .Since the 8th of Sep
tember, when the conference of railroad
managers agreed to reduce railroad
fares, travel has taken up its course in
this direction, and the indications are
that it will continue to increase until
the close of the Exposition. We have
already far exceeded the largest daily 7
attendance at either Paris or the Vienna
Exposition, and the probability 7 is that
a larger number of people will have
been at our International Exposition
than ever visited any exposition in
Europe.
Thursday was New Hampshire day,
and also the day for the unveiling of
the statue of Christopher Columbus,
presented by our adopted Italian citi
zens of the city of Philadelphia. In
honor of the day the New Hampshire
State building—a cottage with porches
on front and on each side—was hand
somely draped in graceful festoons,
with the star apangled banner And the
flags of all the nations represented here.
Gov. Cheney, hi3 staff and members
of the council were seated on the porch,
and the space in front of the building
was reserved for the military. At 111
the military escort, headed by the Lex
ington cadets, marched up and formed
into line, followed by the Amoskez vet
erans, headed by a brass band. Follow
ing them came President Welsh and
Gen. Hawly, of the United States Cen
tennial Commission and Board of
Finances, accompanied by the Govei-
nor of New Hampshire, who proceeded
the officers of his^staff, who were in full
uniform. The committee of reception
and the color guard formed into line
before the Governor, and saluted him.
After music and address of welcome
was made by 7 Gen. Hawley, to which
Gov. Cheney responded, addresses were
made by Prof. Sanborn and others. At
intervals the occasion was enlivened by
music by the Huichenson Family, who
rendered the “ Old Granite State,” and
other appropriate and familiar airs
in good style. The proceedings, though
brief, were of a very agreeable charac
ter, and seemed to be highly enjoyed
by the large concourse of citizens from
the old Granite State. The most con-
spicious feature of the day and the one
that attracted the largest crowd was, of
course, the unveiling of the statue of
Columbus. The anniversary of the«lis-
covery of America was selected and
very properly, by th$ Italian donors of
this beautiful gift, as the day most ap
propriate for these ceremonies. The
monument stands in a conspiciotB po
sition, facing east in a direct line to
wards Horticultural Hall, and is between
Lcs Troii Frerc's restaurant on Fair-
mount Avenue and the Government
building. It is made of the purest
Italian marble, and is the work of Prof.
Salla, of Florence, Italy, and is a very
creditable woik of art. The monument
is 22 feet high ; its base is 7 feet long
and G feet broad, and weighs about 35
tons. It cost about §18,000. The figure
is ten feet high and rests on a cap four
and a half feet high, the front of which
bears the inscription : “ Presented to
the city of Philadelphia by the Italian
citizens.” On the reverse is the inscrip
tion : “ In commemoration of the first
century of American independence.”
On the back of the die the space below
the cap is inscribed: “ Dedicated on
Oct 12th, 1876, by the Christopher
Columbus Monument Association on
the anniversary of the landing of Chris
topher Columbus Oct. 12th, 1492.” The
figure represents him in the costume of
his age and country.

A Startling Rumor.
Proposed Substitution of Grant for Hayes.
Louiavillo Courier-Journal.]
A shadowy but statling rumor rea
ches us that the Republican managers,
made desperate and reckless by the
unexpected loss of Indiana, on which
they confidently relied, are discussing
a most astonishing coup. This is no
less than the withdrawal of Hayes from
their National ticket and the substitu
tion of Grant in his place. The mean
ing of this would be rvolution. The
party of fraud and force, is feeling itself
beaten, knows that its only resort is the
bayonet and matiallaw, rigotousiy en
forced by the man in possession. It
is thought by those who are urging
this measure that violence can be
made to count for more before than at-
ter the election, and they argue that
nobody hut Grant can carry out the
scheme. The Bepublican managers
see that Hayes is beaten. There is not
a ghost of a chauce for him with a fair
61 This is Chandler’s scheme. It comes
to us from a quarter which may be
called reliable. That it is seriously de
bated among Republican leaders is
undoubted. Whether they will dare
to undertake it remaines to be seen.
Our opinion is that they will not. But
when such men are driven to the wall
there is no knowing what they will do.
The People Congratulated.
The National Democratic Committee to the
Voters of tho United States.
Fellow Citizens: We congratulate
you as patriots, as partakers with us in
the common destiny of American free
men, upon the results of the October
State elections. We rejoice in the vic
tory which the people’s ballots have be
stowed upon the friends of reform, in
the valley of the Ohio, where the Re
publican hosts had an overwhelming
ascendency in every Presidential elec
tion since 1S5G. We rejoice in the as
surance these elections convey that
your ballots will bestow decisive ma
jorities to the allied forces of Democ
racy and Reform in the November elec
tions throughout the Union. But we
rejoice not as partisans; we rejoice with
you as fellow citizens.
And when the decision of this week
of one million voters along the valley
of the Ohio shall be ratified next
month, by the fiat of eight million
voters throughout the whole republic,
we shall still rejoice, chiefly for the rea
son that not one of its citizens can miss
of an equal share who are Democrats,
in the political peace and good will
which will then and there be establish
ed among all sections, races, classes and
conditions of men, and in the prosper
ity of which political peace, based on
equal rights and fraternal good will, is
the first condition.
Upon the three States of West Vir
ginia, Ohio and Indiana, were concen
trated all the influence of the Adminis-
tion, all their efforts, and all the vast
sums of money forced from the one
hundred thousand officeholders of the
party in power.
These were fearful odds, not again
to be contended against so concentrated,
‘‘or in the November elections the con-
cest will be in every one of thirty-eight
States upon the same day.
Nevertheless, against these odds the
Democrats and Reformers, of West Vir
ginia and Indiana have been victorious,
and in Ohio they have all but rescued
a State hitherto deemed hopeless, and
have created an assurance of victory in
November.
If it falls to our lot as a National
Democratic Committee to congratulate
the people of the Union upon this vic
tory in the first battle of the reform
campaign, it is only because Democrats
have been honored to be the leaders of
the people in the work of national re
generation.
The victory won, the victory still to
bo won, will be a deliverance as much
to Republicans as to Democrats.
The patriotic masses of the Repub
lican party may be thankful that the
misdeeds of their unworthy leaders
have been rebuked and are to he ar
rested. The suffering whites of the
South may lift up their heads to greet
the dawn of a better dav for them, m
well as the nation at large. The colored
citizen may share the general joy that
he will soon cease to be the stock in
trade of corrupt politicians, but shall
enjoy his rightful liberties and his
equality before the law amid universal
pod will.
As for the Reform Democracy, to
whose standard victory has been tied,
with all her garlands on, it only remains
for them to welcome every ally, every
friend, close up the ranks and press on,
shoulder to shoulder, under the banner
and with the one watchword, Reform.
Fellow citizens, peace between all
sections; prosperity in all our homes:
of these you have been for years de
prived by the mistaken solicitudes of
patriotic Republicans, played upon by
selfish and corrupt leaders, who have
kept fanning the dying embers of civil
strife in order to escape inspection of
the trusts which they have abused.
For eleven years you have had the
name of peace. At no time have you
had the substance of peace. In lieu
thereof you have had the grinding tax
ation and wasteful expenditure of war.
Just before every election every year
you have had the preaching of a new
crusade against a section utterly defeat
ed in war, and anxious only to be com
pletely reconciled in peace.
For eleven years the power of the
men who have seized away the control
of their party from the hands of its
statesmen and founders has been su
preme in almost every department of
the Federal Government.
Discarding the hope of prolonging
their domination by benificent public
measures, they have created and traf
ficked upon public calamities. The
poliev they adopted has been worked
out. ” Its failure has been absolute.
In place of past performances these
same corrupt and selfish leaders now
proffer promises already broken as their
titles to further trust.
Having prostrated our manifold in'
dustries by the vast aggregates and the
worst methods of Federal taxation,
they now again solicit your confidence
as the instruments of retrenchment and
relorm.
Having debauched the puolic service,
and having just now, in the face of open
day, assessed their army of a hundred
thousand officeholders—the people’s
servants—paid by the people’s taxes—
in order to create immense corruption
funds to frustrate the people’s will, they
now profess to be the champions of
civil service reform. Having imposed
upon the Southern States the rapacity.,
fraud, and plunder of the carpet-bag
governments, having almost ruined the
prosperity of the North by destroying
the prosperity of the South, having
created terror, uncertainty and confu
sion in all the productive industries of
the South, which furnish most of the
exports of our whole country, keep in
motion the commerce and manufactor
ies of the North and East, and furnish
a market for the agricultural products
of the West, they now purpose, by re
newal of the same fatal policy, to pro
long their own power in the hope of
concealing their misdeeds, and for this
purpose they do not hesitate to renew
the cry of intolerance; to revive the
dying memories of fraternal strife, and
to appeal to the fears and prejudices of
the timid and the ignorant.
Fellow-citizens, these men and their
measures have been completely tried
and have completely failed. An op
pressive taxation, an exhausted South,
an impoverished North, a fluctuating
currency, the enterprise of an industri-
Ohio go on to a complete and beneficial
revolution in the administration of the
Government of the United^States ?
WiU you not, by the voice iR "over
whelming majorities at the pdls, pro
claim your invincible faith, after all
these years of corruption and passion,
in the high immortal principles^f gov
ernment by the people for iRe people,
in simple honesty and strict ecjnomy,
as the supreme wisdom of- pubic pol
icy, in justice as the mothier of bower,
and in civil freedom as.the be-all an!d
the end-all of a true Republika na
tionality? : -
Will you not bnild up a new piosper-
ity for all the people on 'the old foun
dations of American self-government,
on peace, reconciliation, and fraternity
between all sections, all classes, and all
races embraced within tnir"flystrm of , v
American commonwealths; oa4ho-fr('.'^ : y ie '

on honesty and purity of administra

wisdom and justice of their decision.

Well, Hargrove has bolted the regu
lar nomination of his party for Con
gress, and refuses to support Sheats, the
nominee. Hargroye got up a little
convention of his own at Kingston
last Saturday, in which no nomination
was made. It was decided to allow
the Hargrove squad to vote for whom
each mau pleaseed, hut “ Liitle Zack,”
being Dr. Felton’s right bower at Rome,
recommended his followers to vote for
Dr. Felton. This, of course, is a part
of the “alliance offensive and defen

to make “war to the knife” against the

The Story of a Bank Bobbery.
From tho Chicago Tribune.]
A few days ago dusk a stranger called
atlendenceof a bank cashier in St. Louis,
and introducing himself, said he desired
some private conversation on business of
importance. The cashier thereupon led
him to si - private room, gave orders that
they were not to be disturbed, seated him
self, folded his ears, and desirid his mys
terious acquaintance to communicate the
object of hfe visit The min coughed
once or twice, then said : ■
«Being the cashier of this here financial ^nt elections, and seeing what they, have
institution, of course you keep the kefcd done, Democrats have sufficient cause ffir
.. . ... nej
of patriotism along the valley of the
from Floyd county. The honest Dem
ocrats who are now supporting that
“ alliance” in the advocacy of Dr. Fel
ton, do not dream for a moment the
mischief they are doing the Democratic
party. And, yet, we understand Maj.
Hargrove was highly complimented in
Rome the other day by a Democrat
while he was making a speech for Dr.
Felton
Isn’t it about time Democrats were
opening their eyes to the real purposes
which influence Hargrove and his mal
contents to support Dr. Felton ? Will
the intelligent supporters of Dr. Felton
tell us why Zachariah B. Hargrove is
so anxious for the election of Dr. Fel
ton ? Can they give us any reason for
it except “to make an alliance offen
sive and defensive,” and by it make
“ war to the knife” against the Demo
cratic party? Are there Democrats
really willing to make that war upon
their party ?
The cashier-said-he did.
1 And you. know about the bank robbers
that go round and tie and gag cashiere
and their families, and with pistols at
their heads compel them to give np the
keys?’
The cashier said he did.
‘And- you’ve heard about the Daven
port Brothers and the Spiritualists and
things?’
The cashier said he had.
‘ Now,’ said the stranger, ‘ I’ve been
studying up the whole business, and I
have found out how to overcome them.’
‘ You don’t say so.’
‘ Yes, sir. For $51 will impart to you a
secret which may at some future time save
your life and the funds entrusted to your
care. I will show you how to untie any
series of knots, however complicated; to
remove a gag from your mouth, and, in
fact to set yourself free. I can release
myself in 2:141, and with a week’s prac
tice I’ll bet you can show better than
three minutes. You see the advantage
of my system ? There is no need to resist
and get shot; all you have do is to let
them tie you up, and, as soon as they’ve
taken the key and gone, why you just let
yourself loose and give the alarm.’
The cashier said it was a remarkable
invention.
You bet it is,’ said the inventor, ‘and
as I never take any money for it till my
customers are satisfied of my honesty in
dealing with them, I’ll tell you what I’ll
do. Just let me gag and bind you,and then
I’ll give you simple directions what to do,
and if you don’t unloose youself in five
minutes and express your entire satisfac
tion with the process, I’ll give you §10
if you find that I am a man of my word,
jjou 11 pay me §5.’
The cashier said that nothing could be
Surer.
Another thing,’ continued the visitor:
I am a poor man, and this secret is my
only stock in trade, so I’ll ask you not
to teach any one else how to do it, for
that would spoil my busiuess.’ . . , :
The cashier consented to -the arrange-
■ '-^TSBsr mm biu Tjnv saxa tne outer.
‘If I fail, you keep it; if you are satis
fied, you will return it to me with another
$5. And now this i3 how we do it.’ So
saying he took a roll of cord and gag from
his pockets, and with great dexterity tied
that cashier hand and foot and gagged
him so that her could not wink.
‘Now you are tied pretty firmly, ain’t
jou? You wouldn’t think you could ever
get loose would you ?’
The cashier looked the replies he could
not speak.
‘ I don’t think you could myself,’ said
the inventor; ‘ and now let me tell you
my name 13 Jesse H. James, the notorious
train robber, and if you don’t fork over
that key in three seconds I’ll cut your
throat from ear to ear. I beg your par
don ; you can’t, but I’ll take it myself.
It’s no trouble,’ and turning that cashier
over on hi3 back like a turtle, he took the
key. ‘I won’t take your pocket-book,’
he said, ‘ for the S10 is yours, as I don’t
think you will be able to get loose in five
minutes'or hours either. So long, sonny,’
and, with a courteous bow, he quitted the
apartment, and proceeded to the bank,
which he rifled as completely and leisure
ly as if he had been one of the directors.
The sad event has cast a gloom over the
community.
The Home-Stretch.
Springfiold Republican (Hayes).]
This indecisive October result means
such a last month of the canvass as
this country hasn’t seen but once or
twice during its whole political exis
tence. It is the home-stretch that is
to decide this year. The election will
not be over until the men are actually
elected. The clinch and tug will now
come over the State of New York, New
Jersay aiid Connecticut, with the ad
vantages of position and present chan
ces appreciably in favor of the Demo
cratic. All three of these States have
Democratic governors; one of these gov-
enors is the party candidate for the
presidency, and withal as experienced
and astute an organizer of victory as
modern American politics has seen.
With every now the probability of a
solid South approximates more closely
to certainty. Add to the Soul hern
electoral votes those of three States
(New York, New Jersey and Connecti
cut), with those of the ex-slave and
border States, which are conceded to

This without Indiana, without Califor

Indiana cast 185 electoral votes on Tues

for as Indiana went Tuesday so will go

Philadelphia Press (Radical): Tues

points to the certain overturning of the

Probable Effect of an Eastern
War on American Trade.
New York, October 18.—The scenes
in the gold room this morning haven’t
had a parallel for years. At the open
ing, operators begun to rush wildly to
the ring, and for the first five minutes
gold ran up rapidly amid the greatest
excitement. It had opened 1101 per
cent., but before the first minute had
passed, it had risen by 1 per cent, ad
vances to 1101 per cent, when it sprang
suddenly to 111 per cent. During the
next minute the price reached 112 per
cent, and shouts of excitement rang
out long and loud.
The price then rose one-half per cent
at a jump, and during the next minute
had reached 1131. Rates then began
to recede slightly, and the shout became
shrieks, on one side to bring the rates
further down, and on the other to keep
them up. For the next twenty minutes
rates vibrated by 1 per cent between
121 per cent and 113 per cent, alter
nately going up and down- Every time
the rate manifested a downward ten
dency the shrieks would become loud
er. The indicator continued to change
almost with the ridity of lightning.
After the rate had fallen below 112
per cent, no efforts on the part of the
bulleeould get it up again, and the ex
citement began to abate, when it was
found that nothing could raise the rate
beyond 1111 per cent Since 1 o’clock
gold has settled at about llllallll per
cent, not because the war feeling has
subsided, but because the extreme ex
citement in the gold room was not jus
tified by anything that had yet occurred
in the market on either side.
The Eveniug Post has the following:
The warlike rumors from the East, with
the possibility that the European pow

troubles, had a marked effect on Wall
street and the merchandise market this
morning, all having been thrown into
the greatest excitement In the gold-
room the scene has been without a par
allel for years. Boisterous and excited
brokers bid for any amount at almost
any price, and purchases, which opened
at 1101 per cent, rapidly carried the
price up to 1131 per cent Yesterday
morning gold opened at 1091 per cent,
so that in the two days the price ad
vanced fully four percent So large

been effectually knocked out of “ the

all sign fail) the good work will be com

cipline to the anti-reform party. Tilden

Chicago Inter-Ocean (extreme Radi
cal): The elections of Tuesday simply
mean a prolongation of the contest until
the 7th of November, whereas, with the
entire defeat of the Democratic ticket in
Indiana, the campaign would have been
practically ended. There is a possibility
of a Confederate success now in the Pres
idential election, and this possibility will
nerve both parties to a contest probably
never before exceeded in excitement in
the United States.
Indianapolis Sentinel (Democrat): The!
is battle is over, the victory decisive,
and the enemy is ouis. Every inch of
the ground ha3 been fiercely contested,
but the harness of our adversaries turns
out to have been too thin to withstand the
hot shot, the steady and well-directed fire,
of onr yeomanry. It has proven to be,
in the hour of trial, not only too thin, but
too loosely jointed; for the arrows of
truth and "honor and honesty—aye, and
of love—have pierced to the core the stout
hearts it encased.
Washington special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer: There is a decided sentiment
that the Presidential contest is already
anticipated in its results. The Republi
cans fully expected at least a majority of
20,000 iu Ohio and half of that in In
diana. The loss of the latter Stale and
the gain of the former by a majority be
lieved to he less than Hayes received last
year is construed by them as a decisive
victory for their opponent; so decisive,
indeed, that a stampede seems inevitabje.
Every inch of ground must again be con
tested by them iu Ohio, and the whole
sale expenditure of tuonej 7 made in In
diana has been thrown away.

Democrats throughout the country must
think, plan and act under a sobering and
chastening sense of the tremendous re
sponsibilities which are imposed upon
them as a party by the near approach of
a great national triumph. In all their
nominations for office—national, State
and municipal—they must sternly resolve
to bring only the bring only the best men
within their ranks to the front. The
campaign of calumny has ignominiously
failed.
St. Louis Times, (Democrat) : Let us
thank God and take courage. We have
met the enemy on two of tho hardest
fought political battle-fields in our histo
ry, and the result is a glorious and endur
ing victory. The Democracy frankly ad
mitted the gravity of the conflict. They
as frankly conceded that defeat meant
annihilation, and this, too, with a full
knowledge of the odds against which they
fought. They knew that over one hun
dred thousand Federal office-holders had
been massed against them ; that money
had been used without stint to corrupt
and demoralize them. They were not
disheartened. Their lines never wavered
for an instant.

Pestiie, Oct. 18.—Intelligence from
Vienna state that England considers all
diplomatic action at Constantinople at
an end. This statement has produced
a very gloomy feeling here, and war is
considered unavoidable.
Advices from Bucharest state that
an agreement has been concluded be
tween Roumanian and Russia for pla
cing the Roumanian troops UPder
officers in case of war.
A correspondent telegraphs an inter
view with Ristics,the Servian Prime
Minister, in which the latter stated
that the resumption of hostilities, in
which Russia will participate, is certain.
London correspondents at different
points telegraph as follows : “All Rus
sians in Paris under the age. of forty
have been ordered home. The New
Russian iron-clad, Peter the Great, is to
leave Cronsadt timmediately for the
Mediterranean.”
Russia has issued a circular note an
nouncing that, in the interests of hu
manity, she feels bound to march troops
into Bulgaria and Armenia. There
are 82,000 men at the camp of Bendor,
and 64,000 around Tiflia. Austria’s
Eastern policy will conform to that of
Russia and Germany.
Vienne, Oct. 18.—It is stated that a
convention has been concluded by
Russia with the Roumanian railways,
by which the latter engages to make
preparation for transporting altogether
of 200,000 troops at the rate of at least
25,000 daily.
London, Oct 19.—The SeandarJi dis
patch from Belgrade says that there is
some talk of a nropusal for an amistic
until Dec. 31. It matters little what
proposal is made. It is the opinion of
well informed people that Russia is
bent on carrying on a war until she
gains % clear road to Constantinople.
The Times' special from Belgrade says
that the Russians state that a European
war will not begin until early spring,
when if necessary, Russia will be pre
pared to do somthing in the direction
of India.
The Pari a correspondent of the Times
reports that symptoms of accord be

Mrs Jane G. Swisshelm, who is now
in Germany, has come to the conclusion
that she has been all wrong in trying
to reform the world through the agen
cy of temperance organizations. She
says she joined them early and labored
faithfully to promote their growth, but
thinks she might have been otherwise
employed with much better results.
Instead of encouraging temperance,
these organizations have resulted, she
now believes, in driving a majority of
the conscientions men out of the liquor
businees, and turning it oyer to uncru-
pulous persons, who have drugged and
poisoned “this staple of human con
sumption.’, The temperance pledges
have pat a premium on broken faith;
prohibitory laws, enacted only tp pe
broken by the wholesale, have engen
dered public demoralization; and the
tricks which have been resorted to in
order to sell the alcoholio beverages,
have corrupted both dealer and buyer,
and stimulated.mean and clandestine
drinking. What has led to this change
of Mrs. Swisshelm’s views on the liquor
question is the examination of the
effects cf the free sale of malt and other
liquOres in Germany, where “there is
no disgrace, no penalty attached |to
their monufacture, sale; or use. Those
•are reserved for the abuse. Each per
son is requried -to govern his or hiei
own appetite, and, failing to do So,
b ears the cod sequence alone. It ;ia
the man who gets drunk, not the one
who furnishes the means, who bears
the penalty of drunkenness, and'ihe
result of the system is certainly ad
mirable as compared with ours.” She
does not believe in (He theory of hol
ding the dealer responsible for the
effects of the liquor) rnsfed of the drunk
ard. She thinks the consequences is
to impair individual Self-control, to
funish apologies to the druukard, and
to encourage intoxication. Mrs. Swis
shelm’s opinions are well worth think
ing about.

Concerning the effect of the elections
in Wall street, a. New York letter of
Wednesday says: “There were thtee
things to set gold back this morning—the
acceptance of the armistice by Turkey,
an advance »f k in consols, and the prdb-
able election of a Democreatic President
in November. The latter, it is true, was
not assured^ but the indications were
more that Way to day than they were yes
terday. Opinions, however, differ asito
the resalt upon gold of aDemocratic vic
tory in November. On the one hand: it
is contended that Mr.. Tilden’s election
will resuin such a sharp cutting down iof
expenses and return of prosperty to tjie
Southern States, that the credit of the
gbvernernment will rise at once, and
gold fall in proportion; while, on tpe
other hand, it is argued that a Democrat
ic triumph means “ repudiation” andj a
rise in gold to points that have not befen
known for years. The majority appears
to be decidedly with the former—that! is
in favor of a-beUer credit, a more pros
