Thx Philadelphia Democratic Commit
tee have been actively canvassing the
election divisions, and the chairman
claims that he will be able to prove that
from 25,000 to 30,000 fraudulent names
have been registered as voters. For sev
eral years the Democratic managers have
succeeded in decreasing the return of
voters some thousands, and although
nothing like a 30,800 depletion has erer
been attempted or thought possible, it is
believed that ont of the 185,000 and odd
names on the lists of the city at least
49,000 are fictitious and are likely to he
so shown.
E. S. Ainsworth, a thorough New
Englander, bom and bred in Vermont,
and now of Huntington, Ind., writes ns
of the political prospects in his State as
follows i " I know it is tho easiest thing
in the world to be mistaken, bnt Indiana
will probably givo a large majority for
Tilden and Hendricks. I have visited
the southern and central portions of the
State and, according to my observations,
ten out of twelve of the young voters
will cast their first vote for the Demo
cratic side ; this gives 12 per cent, of the
votea to be cast. Vow or no old votes
will change from the Democratic to the
Republican aide, whilst many (I know
them) will leave the Republicans for
Tilden and Headricks. Again, so far as
ay observation goes, by far the larger
part of the Independents are taken from
the Republican ranks. The Democratic
party, at least in southern Indiaoa, is a
•solid.* Nothing can break it."—Spring-
field Republican.
The Tide In Favor of Tilden.
Springfield (Naas.) Republican.]
The reaction in favor of Gov. Tilden
or rather against the Republicans, is
growing rather more marked. The war
issues and the income tax raid have spent
their force, apparently have done the
Democrats all the hurt they can, and are
now, under the laws of reaction, helping
them a little. This new setting of the
popular tide toward Democratic success
will be strengthened or strangled by the
Indiana and Ohio elections next week.
Both sides are bragging very stoutly,
about these; but tho balance of independ
ent judgment is that Indiana will go for
the Democrats, and Ohio be rather a
drawn game, the Democrats winning on
tho head of the State ticket, bat the Re
publicans having the majority on the
rest and for Congress, and so insuring
the State’s vote for Haye3 in November.
A Modest Benefactor.
Staunton Vindicator.]
The unknown and generous friend of
Virginia who has donated tho valuable
museums to tho University of Virginia
and the Washington and Lee Universi
ty is a wealthy old gentleman of Roohes-
ter. New York, of education and refine
ment, and as modest as he is liberal.
The rector of the University ot Vir
ginia, the Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, signified
to him his wish to have a life-size portrait
ot their benefactor, to be placed in the
HuBcum Hall after tho donor shall have
passed away, or when he may have de
cided to permit his name to be made
public. Mr. ——— replied that he was
an obscure man, and did not wish to have
his name associated with that of the.
great Thomas Jefferson, of whom he wa3
an enthusiastic admirer; ho thought it
would savor of presumption. All he de
sired was to carry out so far as in his
power lay tho magnificent designs of the
founder of the renowned institution. Ho
further expressed his intention to make
the museum of the University of Vir
ginia tho most extensive and valuable in
America. There will be expended on it
nearly $70,000. and it is estimated that
it will take $28,000 to carry out the de
signs of tho donor with regard to the
Washington and Lee University.
The German Vote In Ohio.
An intelligent Chicago German, who
has been making a tour of observation in
Ohio, earns up the results of his inquiries
about in this way: There are about
60,000 German voters in Ohio. Of these
about 36,000 have been in the habit of
voting the Democratic ticket, and 44,000
have been in the habit of voting the Re
publican ticket. None of the Democratic
Germans, or but very few of them, will
vote for Hayes? while fully two thirds of
the Republican Germans will vote for
Tilden. That is to say, Tilden will get
nearly or quite 30.000 German Republi
can votes. In 1872 Grant received 281,-
852 votes, and Greeley 244,321. Assuming
that voters of other nationalities will di
vide about as*they did four years ago, the
change of30,000 Germans will give Tilden
about 274,000 votes and Hayes abont
252,000, and carry tho State for Tilden
by 22,000 majority. But voters of other
nationalities are not going to divide as
thoy did four years ago. A great many
Democrats then refused to eat crow, who
will now voto for Tilden. How many
voters there are of this description may
be inferred from the fact that the whole
number of votes cast in the State in 1872
was only 526,178, while in 1875 it was
590,000, and from tho fact that Greeley
received only 244,321 votes in 1872, while
Allen received 292,273 votea in 1875. The
total voto was 03,917 greater, and the
Democratic voto 47,952 greater m 1875
than in 1872. It is by no means impos
sible, therefore, that Tilden will carry
the State by 30,000 majority. n>. will
almost certainly get a majority of 25,000,
unless the Chicago German, whom the
Times calls an accurate observer, is
greatly mistaken in his conclusions with
respect to the German vote.
Indiana and Obio.
The next number of the Txlxoraph
and Mxssingib will be opened nervous
ly by a good many people, aa it will con
tain news from the elections in Indiana
and Ohio. Common consent makes the
election in Indiana a crucial test of the
result of the Presidential election—be
cause with Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Indiana, California, Oregon, and
that portion of the “solid South” which
will assuredly vote for Tilden and Hen
dricks, the victory is won. Of all these
States of the North and West, Indiana is
pronounced the most doubtful. Hen
dricks’ nomination was therefore pressed
on him in order to seenre Indiana, just
as Hayes* nomination was dictated almost
altogether by the necessity of securing
Ohio.
How close and doubtful the contest is
considered in Indiana may be inferred
from the fact that in a total vote of
nearly 400,000 the coolest Democrats
claim the State by from fire to ten thou
sand majority, while the Radicals claim
all the way up from two to fire thousand.
As to Ohio, when Hayes was nominat
ed the State was promised to the ticket
by from twenty to fifty thousand majori
ty; hntit is not denied that the canvass
has materially weakened these preten
sions, and now the talk is from fire to
eight thousand.
Considering the violence and and close
ness of the canvass, it is not probable
that the retnrns in onr next will as
sure the result in either State, but in
both a marked gain in the large towns for
either side will he significant. It should
be remembered that all our telegraphic
election figures come from the Radicals,
and are more likely to be favorable to
that side than the case calls for.
The news to-day represents both par
ties confident and under as mnch excite
ment as they can carry. The most favor
able omen we can detect is that the Dem
ocrats are good natured, while the Radi
cals are as caustic as aquafortis.
We would urge on all, no matter what
the result may be, to gird np your loins
and stand, strong for the final vote in
November. If these elections shonldun-
fortunately prefigure the defeat of Til
den (which we do not believe will be the
case), then there is a still more, impera
tive and vital necessity upon us of the
South to secure every vote possible in
the House of Representatives. With a
decisive majority in the House, and a
new lease of power on the back of the
enormous profligacy and usurpation in
which they have heretofore run riot—
with all offences condoned and blotted
ont—no man need be startled at any au
dacious exercise of repressive tyranny on
this section of the country. We wonld
not be snrprised to see half of the South
ern States pitched neck and heels ont of
the Union; for Radicalism will he su
premely bent on making euro work for
the future.
The Receipts or the Centennial Ex*
hibltlon.
The official figures recently published
show tho receipts of the centennial ex
hibition so far to have been $2,210,203 24,
a sum greater than any previous world’s
fair. It hae also had the largest attend-
ance ever known in a single month, in a
single week, or on a single day, and, with
abont thirty exhibition days yet to run
on, it is safe to predict that before its
close it will have surpassed all other ex.
hibitions in the aggregate of the attend
ance. The largest monthly receipts
were in September, and footed np $948,-
081, which represented an attendanoe of
2,130,791 paying visitors, though there
were during that month 308,698 dead
heads. The smallest attendance was in
July, when there were only 636,517 pay
ing visitors and $317,199 23 cash re
ceipts. From May 19th to October 1st
the total “ dead-heads ” were 1,438,356.
The total attendance during that time is
put down at 6,209,215. At the Faria ex
hibition in 1867, which lasted 217 days,
there was a total attendance of 8,805,969,
vrith $2,108,670 receipts.
Worse ana Worse. -
Sincoit has transpired after all the
blatant shouts of tho Radicals, that Con
necticut gave a handsome Democratic
victory in the late township elections,
the "outrage” cry has actually been
raised against the wicked rebel sympa
thizers even in the nutmeg State. Hear
what a Hartford bloody shirt organ has
to say:
At General Hawley’s New Britain
meeting last Friday evening, the Boys in
Blue were stoned, and the color bearer
was struck nine times. The following
evening a Republican procession in Hart
ford was attacked with missiles of various
kinds. At Poquonnock, Monday night
stones were thrown at a Republican pro
cession by Democrats along the line of
march. At Sonth Manchester, also, last
night, the Democrats went further and
committed felony by stealing a horse
which was left near the hall by a Repub
lican, and foor harnesses were ent to
pieces by members of the ''law and
order” party. As these things are oc
curring nightly in Connecticnt, reasoning
men are asking themselves the qne3tion:
" How much safer can lives and property
be in the Southern States, where Demo
cratic intimidation cannot be so well re
sisted as here ?”
Well, why don’t yon pitch in and make
short work of these dangerous Demo
crats ? Surely New England, the land of
“steady habits,” where witches were
burned at the- stake, and tho pilgrim
fathers flourished, ought to bo secure
from that intimidation which we thought
was confined to Southern latitudes.
But tho habit of lying is a spreading
disease liko the ancient leprosy, and os
it has resulted so well in firing the North
agains ta "solid Sonth,” perhaps it was
thought that tho same tactics would work
equally well at home. We shall seo in
November.
Georgia at the Centennial.
The following quotation from a letter
just received from a former estimable
fellow-citizen, Mr. J. H. Zeilin, will ex
plain itself:
What I now most want is to know if
some way cannot be devised to bring
Georgia before Centennial visitors on the
12th inst., upon which day there will be
unusual attractions, and since them is no
evidence of sufficient interest being tak
en to make the 10th at ail conspicuous as
tho Georgia day, if Georgia was repre
sented in a modest manner on the 12th
as the Maryland and Southern day, much
good might result from it
The Centennial managers seem greatly
surprised that the Empire State of the
South will not even accept of some benefit
from the Centcnnial,for it thepeople could
hear from some of her speaker-, or in
any way leom what exists in the State
from her own citizens, it could not fail to
be of an advantage.
Can’t you induce Messrs. Hardeman,
Bacon, Colquitt, Biount, H. V. Johbson,
or some one that can “ illustrate Georgia ”
to be here on the 12th, and if so, you ar-
authorized ty me to say that it wonld
afford me particular pleasure to serve
them here, andto see that they were es
pecially well taken care of.
The Txlxgbaph has already taken
gronnd that our noble State should at
least be heard from on her public recep
tion day, through the potent voices of
some of her eloquent and representative
sons. But the suggestion does not seem
to have been acted upon, and wa fear im
proper motives will be attributed to onr
people 'for this seeming want of sympa
thy in the national jubilee. This is
deeply to be deplored. At this late honr
it only remains to print the letter of onr
worthy correspondent, and ask all or any
one of the distinguished citizens named,
if possible to be present on the 12th, and
every other visitor also who may be on
the gronnd, and claims his residence or
nativity here.
A Model Hayes and Wheeler Cant*
paign Oration.
Tho Pekin (Hi) Times, of a late date,
publishes a synopsis of a speech lately
delivered in that town by a man calling
himself “Professor Lansing, of Clark
University, Atlanta, Georgia,” before a
Methodist conference in session at that
place. As a specimen of the character
and temper of this reverend scoundrel’s
speech, the Times reports a part of his
speech as follows:
“ I shall attempt to give yon only a
faint idea of onr condition and prospects
in the South. In doing so, however, I
shall confine myself to facts which have
come under my own observation. * * *
• • • I am sure you have not had a
glimpse arms of society down there as it
is. The accounts which have reached
you give no conception of the darkness
of degradation that overhangs that be
nighted land and degrades and disgraces
onr American civilization. I confess to the.
general nachastity of the negroes, but
that of the whites suffers immeasurably
by comparison. A distinguished man, a
brother of a Texas ex-Governor, told me
that the state of morality was such all
over the (South that, although a Sonthern
man all his life, he was compelled to send
his daughters and son3 out of that coun
try, and they were at this time in the
North, he being afraid to raise or have
them in such communities. Unchastity
is the sin of that people, and has been
for generations. Their laws protect it
and their churches and ministers either
overlook or wink at it, and I tell it as a
fact, that such has been the case so long
that they hare quit preaching the ten
commandments—they do not dare to
preach them when so large a proportion
of their aristocracy and wealthy mem
bers violate them in this thing.
And a farther fact is, that those poor
negroes, before our teachers went among
them, did not even know of the existence
of the decalogue. It is the domineering
whites, and they alone, who are respon
sible for such scourges a3 the Hamburg
horrors. Let them be dealt with in all
the rigors of military law. Send
troops, say I, to hang the villains.
“But,” say the Democrats with a
shudder,” “ that will break, the Con
stitution.” Let then such a Constitu
tion bo broken, and I had almost said
let the Constitution be d—d. [Great
clapping by a portion of the ministers.)
I would say a great deal more right here,
were it not upon the eve of a political
election. Now, brethren, (turning to the
applauding ministers on the right) you
hare heard of some such thing as frater
nity, have you not? (A voice, yes, and
laughter among the ministers.) That is
all very well to talk about, but I am down
on fraternity—fraternity with Southern
Methodists. I will have none of it. I
believe in treating with them a3 Gen.
Butler said he would treat with the
rebels; only when wo bare onr heels upon
their necks.

Republican? Baying Bailies.
Washington, October 6.—The Repub
lican campaign managers have sent some
of the vilest roughs to Indiana and Ohio
that they were able to find in the East
ern cities. The stories which the Repub
lican press in different sections have
with such surprising and suspicious una
nimity set afloat about “shoulder-hitters,’
"blood-tub3" and “repeaters,” seem to
have been designed to direct attention
from the hordo of disreputable characters
which tho Republican managers have
turned loose in these two important
States. It is known that the Republican
committee has expended large sums of
money among the bullies in Indianapolis
and Fort Wayne. It would not be sur
prising if there were serious riots in In
diana on election day.
A .Republican fraud.
Washington, October 6.—The last
public debt statement issued by the Sec
retary of the Treasury is a fraud and a
cheat. It was deliberately prepared for
campaign purposes, and is circulated in
pamphlet form, to ensnare readers into
tho belief that during September the
debt was reduced upward of $200,000.
While such reduction is set forth, the
truth is, if the United States had met its
honest obligations, the September in
crease of the debt would hare aggrega
ted what is claimed as a decreaso. It is
a notorious fact that all departments of
the Government with premeditated pur
pose abstained from issuing warrants for
money juBtly duo claimants and provided
for by appropriation, until after the Oc
tober elections.
Republican Corruption In Indiana.
The Republican managers have been
congratulating themselves to-day over
the withdrawal of the greenback candi
date for Governor in Indiana. This re
sult, it is alleged, was accomplished by
the expenditure of a considerable sum of
money by Republicans.
The Democratic managers are convinc
ed that the Republicans must have sent
$1,000 000 in all to Indiana. The treasu
ry clerks alone were bled for about $30,-
OOO. S ichof the clerks a3 for any rea
son are not able to go home to vote are
required to furnish a substitute and pay
bis expenses.
The Connecticnt Election.

ty-three. Most of the towns were car
ried by increased Democratio majorities.
Three towns are yet to bear from.
THE GEORGIA. PRESS.
Thxbx was blood upon the moon last
Friday night and Saturday, at Angasta.
There was one murder, one case of dan
gerous stabbing, one of attempted assas
sination, the intended victim being Mr.
H. H. Duncan, who was shot at twice
while on bis way borne, a hostile corres
pondence between Mr. Gregg Wright, of
the Chronicle and Sentinel, and Mr. John
Davison, and a terrible accident, the de
tails of which are set forth as follows by
the above named paper: The meeting at
Summer Hill was marred yesterday by
aa unfortunate accident, which occurred
a few moments after the ceremonies were
over and just as the people were return
ing homeward. When the piece of artil
lery, which was carried from Augusta to
be used in firing salutes on the occasion,
was limbered up and started to leave,
seven persons were stated on it for the
purpose of riding to the city. Among
these were Messrs. John Theo. Pardue
and Peter Easterling. The piece was
drawn by a team of stout mules, driven
by a negro who was seated on one of them.
The team started off at a rapid rate, and
had proceeded but a very short dis
tance when one of the wheels of the
cannon ran over a small stamp, tilting
the piece and giving it a violent jar.
Messrs. Pardue and Easterling were un
seated by the shock and thrown to the
ground. Both fell under the cannon.
One of the wheels passed directly over
Mr. Pardne’s head, crushing it in a hor
rible manner, and cansing instant death-
Mr. Easterling was comparatively slight
ly injured, receiving severe bruises on
tho left arm, near the wrist, and abont
the head. The team was brought to a
halt as soon as possible. A physician,
who was at the meeting, hurried to the
spot, but Pardue was past all human aid.
Mr. Ransom furnished a wagon to bring
the body to Augusta, and tho deceased
was then escorted to the bridge by a de
tachment of Colonel A. P. Butler’s com
pany, detailed by him for that purpose.
Mr. Pardue was the husband of Mrs.
Annie Blount Pardue (Jenny Woodbine),
the Georgia poetess.

Thz Constitutionalist understands from
" a gentleman who recently had eeveral

success in Indiana and Ohio, yet, in case
of reverse there, the fight would still go
on, and every energy be redoubled in

The opponents of General Bntler in tho
Eleventh Massachusetts District argue
that Judge Hoar, the bolting Republican
candidate, will bo elected over both Bnt

these reasons: That General Bntler will
lose more than enough votes to elect
Judge Hoar; that Tarbox will have no
Republican votes; that Tarbox and But
ler will be obliged to draw upon each
other’s adherents for votes, but caa secure
none of the followers of Judge Hoar, and
that the reserve vote will give Hoar a
plurality. Tarbox’s friends on the other
hand, claim every vote cast for Hoar is
equivalent to another vote for Tarbox,

Indianapolis, October 5.—The capital
city ot Indiana ha3 been the scene to-day
of a political demonstration without par
allel in the history of the Hoosier State.
In 1856, when politics ran up to fev.er
heat, and back in 1840, great gatherings
have been witnessed, but this day’s pa
rade, in size and enthusiasm, .stands
alone. Political veterans who remember
old time displays are amazed at the spec
tacle, and predict that many campaigns
will come and go before anything com
parable to it will be seen in this region.
Snob a harvest of Democratic'soldiers
and citizens has been gathered on short
notice, and the mystery seems to be where
they all came from.
Symptoms of a trememdoua outpour
ing had been detected in telegrams from
various parts of the country and State
announcing the coming of delegates, and
those began to develop last night, when
Chicago, Milwaukee, and Iowa veterans
appeared, 1,200 strong, and Baltimore
and Philadelphia followed with delega
tions of Boys in Blue. They were re
ceived on the Arsenal grounds at mid
night with an artillery salute. But the
actual dimensions of the affair were not
realized until this morning.
By daylight excursion trains began to
unload at the Union depot, pouring forth
Democrats like bees from a hive. Some
were organized companies, either of vete
rans or Tilden Guards. The largest pro
portion came merely to see and to partic
ipate in the general enthusiasm.' A little
later the delegation of soldiers, mounted
and on foot, with an endless stream of
people from neighboring townships and
towns lying within a radius of twenty
miles came thronging in from every ave
nue and choking the principal streets.
They had left home at daybreak and all
reached the city at about the same time.
When these delegations of rural Dem
ocrata were joined and jostled by im<
mense crowds' arriving by trains and
flocking to the city centres, and these
were met ty a general outpouring of
home citizens on the sidewalks, the scene
of uproar and confusion may be faintly
imagined. The marshals of the occasion
were ata loss to handle the- throng and
to separate the various delegations and
station them preparatory to the grand
parade. Side streets were lined in all
directions withcompanieaforming. They
extended for miles; the hotel corridors
and balconies were thronged.
' When the preparation had been com
pleted the column was cet in motion by
the firing of a signal gun. The scene
was indescribably grand and exciting as
the tributaries along innumerable' side
streets flowed into the main channel,
until the big human current was com
plete. The main column moved forward
amid firing of cannon, and under com
mand of Gen. Siegel. It included four
thousand Dauocratio soldiers, about
twice the numbe-r that joined in the late
Republican reunion. Many carriages
were filled with cripples, and hundreds
of maimed veterans on foot bore witness
that the war was over.
First iirtbe position of honor were the
veterans of the Mexican war, under com
mand of the veteran Gen. Shields of Mis
souri. Following these were soldiers of
the late war from points as follows: One
thousand from Chicago, under command
of Col. .Baldwin; eeveral hundred from
Michigan, Iowa, and other Western
points; one company from Baltimore:
1,600 from St. Louis, under command of
Capt. Davis Mutpby; 300 from Louis
ville, under Col. Keigwin; 100 from Phil
adelphia and Harrisburg, under Capt.
Power; 100 from Detroit, including
twelve colored men; 163 from Lincoln’s
town of Springfield, Ill., including three
negroes and 68 white veterans who never
voted the Democratic ticket before;
nearly a full regiment from Indianapolis,
bearing numerous battle flags, and in
cluding 100 who belonged to Ben Harri
son’s Seventieth Regiment during the
war, while other points of Indiana con
tributed another thousand from New
Albany, Seymour, Fort Wayne, Franklin,
Shelby county, Crawfordsville, Madison,
Greencastle, Greenfield, Columbus, Lo-
gansport-, and Lapotto.
As the veterans filed through the
streets they were cheered on every hand,
the ladies being hearty in expression of
good will. The military feature of the
parade was made perfect by the presence
of distinguished soldiers, such as Gens.
Siegel, Palmer. Corse, Bragg,| Maneoh,
Fitz Henry Warren, McClemand, Par
sons, McMahon, McCandless, Whittaker,
Farnsworth, Carrington, Cameron and
Stiles, while Colonels and Captains in
numerable took prominent part in the
parade.
Following tho soldier element came
eminent statesmen, liko Govs. Hendricks,
Bigler, Curtin, of Pennsylvania, Palmer,
of Illinois, Parker, of New Jersey, Sena
tor McDonald, the Hon. Wm. M. Spring
er and others. '' iomni
The second division, which camo next,
under command of CeL George Russ,
comprised a small army of uniformed
and ununiformed Tilden Guards. Three
wards from Chicago were represented,
and there wa3 a handsomely drilled com
pany from Detroit. All the rest came
from Indiana alono. Here certainly was
the picturesque in politics never before
seen to finer advantage. The tasteful
and grotesque were side by side in amuB-
ing contrast: Handsomely equipped and
perfectly drilled companies of guards
were sandwiched in between squads of
farmers mounted and on foot, equipped
with nothing hut enthusiasm and trons-
pariencies, while again huge, wagons
would contain either pyramids of chil
dren in red, white and blue or bear some
sarcastic device in tableau against Grant-
ism, acted out by comedians from the
country. One of these latter represented
a jail on wheels, with members of the St,
Louis Whisky Ring inside, clad in prison
stripes, and while the procession moved
the jail birds would Bhont lustily for
Hayes and Wheeler. An attempt was
made to have an immense bull take the
role of Morton, but the animal refused to
be a “sitting bull,” -and had to be led.
The spectators, however, understood and
enjoyed the farce. Ingenuity was ex
hausted on mottoes. Tney were prepar
ed in great variety, and made an attrac
tive part of the display.
- It is impossible to state' exactly what
the numerical strength of thi3 second di
vision was. The ranks moved closely,
but were sometimes four and sometimes
eight deep, and wero broken by special
features. It is Eafe enough to say that
the civic display was as largo as tho mili
tary, and this would make tho full force
of the procession approximate 10,000.
The late Republican parade occupied
thirty five minutes in passing. To-day’s
procession, after a most triumphal march
of nearly four miles, was one hour and
thirty minntes in passing the corner of
Washington and Meridian streets, where
the largest concourse of people was
gathered. Over the street at this point
an arch had been bniltand embellished,
among other decorations, with a live
American eagle, with this motto beneath
him: "I am safe in the arms of the
Democracy.” Judging from comparative
time in passing, there could not have
been less than 9,000in this line. This is
but a fraction of the visitors in town.
One hundred and ninety-six car loads
came in since morning, to say nothing of
an immense throng which came in wa
gons. The influx of people to-day has
seen at least 40,000, and all for Tilden
and reform.
The parade cloeed at 1 r. x, and from
that time :on through^ the afternoon
speeches were delivered from three stands
in State-house square, and from all the
hotel balconies. The crowds were im
mense at every point, each speaker talk
ing to several thousands and meeting
with unbounded enthusiasm. The streets
were like a vast human forest Iu the
principal thoroughfares the crowds were
so dense that travel of all kinds was
blocked, and no efforts were made te
open channels. Governor Hendricks was
the hero of the day, and called forth more
worship and kindled more enthusiasm
than any other speaker of the occasion.
From the stand where Hendrioks spoke
Gen. James Slack read the resolutions.
They were cheered seriatim, end then
approved aa a whole. The orators of the
day were Gens. Palmer, Corse, Shields,
Carrington, Farnsworth, Siegel, McCan
dless, McClernand, and McMahon; Govt,.
Palmer, Curtin, Parker, and Bigler; Col.
Cahill of Tennessee, Gen. Cameron of Il
linois, W. M. Springer of Illinois, E. S.
Cleveland of Connecticut, and a score of
lesser lights, including Thomas Nicholas,
colored, from Detroit, who spoke with
fine effect.
Before dark the country people began
to disperse, bnt many remained to take
part in the grand torchlight procession
which closed the festivities. Houses
were brilliantly illuminated, the avenues
were again jammed with spectators, can
non were fired from the State Home
square, rockets and Roman candles in
beautiful profusion flashed over the
scene, and the whole city was literally
ablaze. The main column of the proces
sion was a solid river of light for miles,
and was just an hour in passing under
the arch.. Five thousand torch bearers
were in line. The result of today’s great
jubilee will be increased oonfidenca in the
result of next Tuesday’s election.
- It seems aa though the Republicans
have determined to antagonize the Dem
ocratic soldiers, and have effectually suc
ceeded by distributing small paper mod-
ala of Confederate battle flags, with the
inscription "A Solid South— 1861,”
while the picture of Gov. Hendricks is
on the reverse side. Last night these
were scattered through the streets and in
the hotels by order of the Republican
Committee, and have simplyincensed de
cent Republicans a* well as the “ Boys in
Blue” who favor the election of Tilden.
The following telegrams were received:
Indianapolis, 2:19 p. x.—In numbers
and enthusiasm this great gathering far
exceeds expectation. .Unquestionably
the largest, most impressive, and over-,

Tbs most notable object of interest in
Oregon is old Gen. Joe Lane. No inan
ever received such an ovation for services
in the field as Joe Lane when be returned
from Mexico at the close of the war, and
gave the State a chance to carry him
on its shoulders for -his gallantry at
Buena Vista. He went west in
1856, was appointed provisional governor
of Oregon by Fillmore, then was in the
Senate, and had just finished his term
when he was nominated' for Vice-Presi
dent on the ticket with Breckenridge.
After that defeat the hot political
places that knew him once knew him no
more forever. He b6nght a farm back of
Rosebnrgh, running np from the Talley
of the WilUamette, and built him a* small
frame house high on a picturesque spur
of the Rogue River Mountains,-where he
has lived ever sixee in perfect seclusion.
Two years ago he lost his wife, whom he
always called “ the Madame,” and loved
devotedly. Since then his desolation has
been relieved only by a negro boy. who
cooks and keeps house for him. He is
eighty-three now, straight as an arrow,
six feet two inches in height, and he can
pick np his rifle and bring' home a deer
or follow down a front stream:over the
rocks about as well as the next man.
And then he reads a good deal. Ono
room in his cabin is sacred to his books,
and his library is' one of the most valua
ble on the Pacific slope. Onlyonce lately
they got h:m worked np to'the. point of
coming down from his garret in the
clonds and making a speeoh. It was on
the 4th of Jane, at Boeeburgli. There
wore at least 5.000 people present, and
when the old hero began the auditors
stretched their necks as it a new revela
tion was coming, and every word was to
be precions. Only a few could hear him,
for his voice had drifted into the child
ish treble, bnt cariosity kept them spell
hound till he closod. He reminded one,
with his majestic presenoeand flowing
white hair and beard, of some John the
Baptist in the wilderness crying unto
the people “ Repent I” The old man has
one wish left—to vote for Tilden and
Hendricks; If the ticket wins he wants
to depart in peace, like Simeon, for he
will have lived to see the country’s salva

GIRLS IN CHINA.
The Misfortune ef Being Bern 1b the
Celestial Empire.
Iowa State Register.]
From a letter from Mrs. Julia F. W.
Plumb, in China, to friends in this city,
we glean seme items relative to the treat
ment of girls in that far-away land- Mn.
Plumb, prior to her marriage, lived in
Des Moines, and has many acquaintances
and friends in this city. She is the wife
of a missionary in that country, and is
living near Foochow. The letter says*
Some time ago Nathan and I went ont
walking, and a man came oat of a honss
with a tiny little black-eyed baby in his
arms, aoont two months old. “Two
years old,” he called it, for it was born
during the last month of the old year,
and so had lived in two years. lima the
Chinese count ages. It was clean and
bright, and almost pretty, and he begged
us to accept it. They were very poor;
had no clothing or rice for it, and it was
a girl. This last was the crowning mis
ery. I was sorry there was no foundling
asylum in the Mission, as there has been
at one time in its history. I think if it
had been a white baby we wonld have
accepted the gift. As it was, Nathan
exhorted the man to keep it and not
drown it, as he was snggestively near
the river. He told him how wrong it
was to wish to kill babies becanse they
were females, and mnch more which the
man seemed to understand, and promised
ns he would let the baby live. It is not
an unusual thing to find little girl tobies
cast ont to die.
Some time ago I was at Earl Street
Chapel, attending my women’s meeting.
A strange woman came in, and after ser
vices over I entered into conversation
with her. She seemod to be quite an in
telligent woman, and in good circum
stances, the keeper of a shop. I inquired
about her family. She said, “I Into but
one child.” I said, “Only one child? No
girls?” She replied, "Oh, yes, girls a
plenty—five or six, I forget which. ~
drowned them as fast as they were horn. 1
X had never heard ssch an avowal before,
and I was shocked. I said, “How conld
yon? Was it not hard to da?” She
said, “Yes, it was hard. Some of them
were unwilling to die, and one took hold
bold of my finger and held on to it; then
I was frightened greatly." I said, “Bnt
how conld yon drown yonr own little ba
bies, which yon ought to love and nour
ish ? Did yon not lore them?” She
answered, “They were girls. They must
be clothed and fed, and if they had their
feet bound like mine to make ladies of
them, they conld not work and bring in
money like boys. I have one son. He
eats opium, and gives me & great deal of
trouble. It’s better they were killed!
It’s better so.”

Macon Presbytery
Held its autnmn session at Hamilton,
Harris connty, and met in the Baptist
church on Thursday evening, October
5th. In the absence of the Moderator,
Rev. A. W. Clieby, it was opened by a
sermon by the Rev. James H. Nall, of
Coiambus, after which organization was
completed by the election of Rev. Wm.
McKay, of Macon, Moderator, and elders
J. P. 8tevena and T. F. Brewster tempo
rary clerks.
The attendance was very small, five
ministers and five ruling elders only
being present.
The Rev. John Beveridge was received
by transfer from the Presbytery of Cin
cinnati, Ohio.
Reports from the various churches
were read, and free conference on the
state of religion was had. i
The Cnthbert Church, having called
Mr. T. R. English, a licenciate ot the
Harmony Presbytery,, Sonth Carolina,
made request for a special meeting of
Presbytery, to be held at the call of the
Moderator during tho sessions of Synod,
at Augnsta, Ga, in November next, to
receive him and arrange for his ordina
tion and installation. This meeting was
ordered to be held, and PreBbytery, at
its rising, to adjourn for that purpose.
The following committee was appointed
to examine! the new Book of Order and
Discipline sent down by the General As
sembly,’ and to report at next regular
meeting of Presbytery: Revs. J. H. Nall,
A. W. Clisby, and J. T. McBride, and
Elders Anderson and Willcox.
Supplies for vacant churches were ap
pointed as follows:
Newton—Brethren McBryde, McKay,
and Beveridge.
Lumpkin—Brother Beveridge and Li
ceneiate Briggs. 7 .
Perry—Brethren Nall, Maxson, and
McIntosh.
Dawson—Committee as appointed by
last Presbytery continued. !
Smyrna—Brethren McBryde and Bev

Columbus was appointed the place for
next regular meeting of Presbjtery, on
the 18th of April, 1877- a
Totes of thanks were passed, acknowl
edging the hospitality of the friends at
Hamilton, to the other churches for u*e
of their places of worship, and to the
Southwestern and North and Sonth rail
way for usual courtesies.
Members of Presbytery retain pleasant
memories of the generous hospitality and
unremitting kindness of’the whole com
munity of Hamilton. The meetings
were harmonious’ and interesting, and

To What tho Republican Organize
tion has Descended.
Now York Sun.]
There is a class of news which the Sun
carefully avoids because it is disagree'
able, generally useless, and often inde
cent; bnt when the Government of the
United States is involved in matters of
this sort, and when the people’s money
is applied by the order of the President
to purposes of thi3 description, it may
become necessary to bring tho facts to
public knowledge. Such a case is re
ported in to-day’s paper by onr Wash
ington correspondent.
It seems that Alexander R. Shepherd,
of Washington, the intimate friend of
President Grant, had his mistress put up
on the pay roll of the Bureau of Printing
and Engraving in the Treasury Depart
ment. She did no work in the bureau,
never pretended to do any, and never
came there even for her pay, which was
regularly sent toherby amessenger from
the bureau. Finally, during the ad min
istration of Mr. Bristow, we presnme it
was, the Superintendent of the burean
refused to pay her any longer; and there
upon President Grant issued ah order
directing that tlm woman should be paid
the same as those honest persons were
paid who actually worked in the bureau
In issuing this order, the President knew
perfectly, as onr correspondent states,
both the woman’s relation to Shepherd
and the fret that she renders to the nation
no service for the money she receives.
These shameful payments are now con-
tinned under Mr. Lot M. Morrill, of
Maine, Secretary of the Treasury, who,
though hitherto regarded as a respecta
ble gentleman, does not appear to shrink
from acts of (hi* description. Of such is
the party of Hayes, Wheeler and Grant.
