The Republicans have carried Ohio hy 20,000, and Indiana hy 2,- 000 in the late election. What is the difference between a fixed star and a meteor? One is a aun, the other n darter.

Every effort of Dr. Felton and his mouth piece, the tree Press, to blot or stain the bright escutcheon of the Hon. J. C. Clements, i« a miser- j able failure. One of the murderers of Dr. Par- j sons, the American missionary, has j been coudenmt.ed to death und two | others have been sentenced to fif teen years' penal servitude. As a high protective tariff man, Dr. Felton is not the friend of the “poor laboring farmer, merchant and mechanic,” and they are find ing out where to place him upon that question. —♦ » • West Virginia stands steadfast in the hour of defeat.

Cincinnati merchants, without distinction of party, have handed together to protest against section alism. They declare with one voice, that the vehement politics that is fashionable in Oliio, is hurt ing their trade. Grant says every Northern State legislature will compel the State’s Congressmen to resign and resist a Democratic administration. Grant should show what power a State Legislature has to‘compel’a State’s representative to resign. - ■■ ■ Two strangers, gentlemen, will occupy the same seat in u railway car, chat) pleasantly on politics, trade, crops, etc., and have quite an enjoyable season.

Canton correspondence of the At lanta Constitution: Hon. Judson C. Clements candidate for congress from this district, made a speech here to-day, and was well received. All who saw or heard him speak are well pleased with his appear ance. He is the man for the posi tion, and ’will undoubtoly he elec ted. He will remain in the county about a week. “How is it now? The Georgia leg islature has had some smart men in it. and some that are not so .smart. Borne are ‘Dignity,’to put it mild. Wh-n Mr. Clements was there he was asked to vote on a hill . brought in by some man in lower Georgia to mako it a penal offence to hunt on another man’s land. | This ‘Dignity’ fellow (we do not rec ollect his name) hud likely got n ad with some chap that caught a rabbit on his side of the fence, and how do we find our great brother Cl< inenta voting. He voted to innke it a penal -that is to fine or imprison (rr both) a poor man who chnr.ced to get over a fence when his good old dog had caught a rah- j hit or ’possum fnir'y and squarely. That’s the sort of reformer he is I Look out for your rabbits and ’pos sums, and look out for your own selves too, if lie can catch you at ( it." From the above which we clip j from the Free Press, our readers can form some faint idea perhaps, of 1 how hard np that sheet is for Cam paign material against the Hon. J. C. Clements. This is a fair sample of the balderdash and tom-foolery that the Free Press is filled up with these days. The Romo Courier publishes a few chapters of Dr. Felton’s record in j Congress, during the last session, i showing most conclusively, and that too, from the Congressional Record, that Dr. Felton voted against the reduction of the tariff on Salt and other articles of prime necessity, and that he voted in the interest of the iron monopolists. The Doctor’s whole course in Congress summed np from the Con gressional Record is clearly and for cibly in the interest of the money kings, and against the laboring clas ses, and yet the Doctor denounces the Home Courier from every stump in the district as incorrect in its statements, hut fails to read a sin gle paragraph, or vote from the Record which lie carries with him, to prove that the Courier has made any incorrect stnt»ments. - I)r. Felton in his speech at Mr. Davis’ cross-roads, in this county, on last Friday, made another com parison of cur Judson, this time lie says Col. Clements reminds him of a “runt pig” that is trying to find a teat and can’t. Well, we are not a going to call the Doctor by any hard names, or make any unfavor able comparisons of him ; as u friend and advocate of Mr. Clements we cannot afford to say one disre spectful word of his opponent: he does not do it ! He is too high-ton ed, magnanimous and courteous to all, and especially to his opponent, to stoop to that kind of a warfare. Try it again Doctor. We are not mad, nor scared a hit. We will see you later —on the 2d of November for instance. The Indiana disaster is not ns | had as it might have been. The adversity majority will not exceed j 6,000, and a change of three thou* j sand five hundred in November . will transfer the state to the demo* j cracy. Intelligent* observers say i that such a change is inevitable, as ; the circumstances next mouth will j be favorable to the democracy. The \ republican pressure will to a great | extent ho lifted, and the crowd of detectives and deputy marshals i that dominated the polls lust Tues : day will not hand next time i Indiana is not lost to us, and the j democrats of that state ate by no means despondent.— Atlanta Consti tution. We are not at all surprised that i the Republicans carried Indiana. | The whole party backed by the wealth anil power of the govern ment had been concentrated, in a ; united effort to secure a victory j there for the last twelve months. — j This concentration of effort and re peating process hy which it was | greatly aided, will he impossible on i the first Tuesday in November. — Hancock is stronger than the party and will recapture Indiana and car ry every Democratic State North, and with the solid South he will be ; overwhelmingly elected. The Cincinnati Enquirer, in ref r | ence to the election Tuesday, says: “The effect upon the democracy of the Union will certainly be as in vigorating as was the eff-ct of the I Maine election in September last ; on the Republicans. The vo'e of Indiana is not needed to elect Han cock, and the vote of Ohio was not expected to contribute to that event.” | The New York Sun says, “Noth ing tlmt has happened since the opening of the campaign, lias made so many friends and votes for Gen. Hancock, ns the wholly uncalled for, untruthful and stupid attack upon his reputation, by his fellow West Pointer, and comrade in arars 1 Ulysee 8. Grant.” Dr. Felton's Insult to Col. Clements ami Ills Friends, When IK Felton came to La Fayette court week, to make a speech, he was waited on by n com mittee of as nice gentleman ns there i« in this county, to ask him if he would divide time with Mr. Clem ents. Dr. Felton replied—in a very abrupt mannei —that ho would not divide time with him here, or else where; that ho didn’t propose to ( get up crowds frr the organized In this district. i When Dr. Felton had made his speech, there was loud calls for Col Clements from every part of the house. In respoi se to ilmse calls Col. Clements advanced to the stand as Dr. Felton came down ; took the i Doctor try the hand and placed a j chair for him, and asked him to have a seat; but the DoCtol refused, and left the court room promptly. | But he did not leave the town so quickly ; hut gibbering bis friends | about him, he took his stand on ; the street, and for their benefit | commented upon the Colonel’s speech while he was making it. This was the way Dr. Felton de- ' ! ported himself in LaFayette in the opening of the campaign. Last ! week, Dr. Felton invited Col. Clem- j . ents to come to his day appoint- ! merits; Col Clements very proper ly declined. This week he propo ses to go to Col. Clements'appoint ments, or to meet him in joint dis- ; ! cussion, at any point Ley may | agree upon. Onr correspondents and the peo- i pie, are everywhere asking why I j this concession, tins softening i , down upon the part of Dr. Felton? I The true answer is just this: Col. 1 1 j Clements has been, and is still j : making a most brilliant and suc-'i ' ; cess fill campaign of the district; his ! ' | statesmanlike hearing, and hiselo- j ' | quent appeals to the reason and judgment of the people, are telling everywhere favorably foi him. He has done more in fix weeks to put j down partisan prejudice and pa«- j sion in this district, than it was tie- I ■ lieved at first could ever he done, j j and ns a consequence. Col. Clem- j | ents has large appreciative audien ' ces wherever he goes, and Indepen | dents and ronsetvative Republicans ( j are everywhere rallying to his sup- j i port. Dr. Felton in many places I in tliis district is speaking to treeß j and empty seats. The tiile and the | crowd is with our Judson and he j knows it, and as a last forlorn hope j of getting before the “dear people” j in an appeal once more to their passions and prejudices, lie pro'po- J ses a joint discussion, upon any terms. I We hope Col. Clements will not I accept, indeed, wo can’t see how he can consent to discuss the issues of I 1 j the day with the man who insulted 1 I him and bis friends at LaFayette. ; *3 ♦ llr. Felton's Lore for Ills Opponent. Dr. Felton stated in his speech at ' j LaFayette, that he Imd heard so [ many good tilings about Col Clem-1 j ents, that he really lov«d him, and | in the same speech, he said that he . would not mention Col. Clements’ I name igain during the campaign, or words to that effect. We did not ! attend the Doctor's late appoint ments in this county ; hut we hear j it stated by those who did, that Col. Clements aTiil his record is toe bur den of his discourses now, and what ; is still worse, that he is tnisrepre i senting Col. Clements in regard to ; his record, in a fearful manner. . Oh! why this unfaithfulness . doctor? Win re is your first-love? ! , You said in this same speech that you would beat CuL Clements 5,000 . ! votes in the district, anil has it be come necessary to resort to such . means now, as the above, in the ef i foit to check the tide, that has set j in for the Hon. J. C Clements? - ♦ Dr. Felton has at last written to Mr. Clements to join him in dis , mission from now until the day of the election. Mr. Clements must certainly beginning on the Doctor . or he would not at this late day . want to call him out Mr. Clem f ents is doing good work in the low er end of the distr ct making many , friends. Oh, Doctor you can’t call him off now, you would not meet C him at the beginning so he. will not be called of]' of his good work in t the lower counties to meet you at [ his home. — Dade County Gazette.

I '' A few nights ago a large party of I ' emigrants, mainly negroes, were in j 1 one of the waiting rooms in the j Union Passenger Depot, waiting j there until tlv»y could hoard their j train. While sitting there, musing j no doubt of the homes they left, ‘ the colored members of the party j began humming hymns, and Siam j : their murmurs developed into songs ! and their songs to wild, excited in | vocations to the Lord to save them i until finally one old aur.tie became j j J I so excited that she commenced the ; j regular war whoop, jig dance shout, j i embracing her nretheren, weeping j | and laughing at turns, screaming !in her faiiat : cal delirium, and it was with the greatest difficulty that she J was appeased and made to under stand her surroundings and the in- ] ] congruit) of her action. — Chntlnnno- \ 1 t/a Times.
