promises to be a very exciting one.
Fbanch in thk Rhtrogradb.—A start

The Election r» Ohio.—The Cleveland
Herald puts on record this prediction:
“Though not gives to prophesying, we
venture the prediction that, at the coming
election, ‘Constitutional Amendment, No?
will run behind the Democratic ticket, and
‘Constitutional Amendment, Yes,' will run
ahead of the Republican ticket.”
The Tolodo Blade, In commenting on
this, says:
“The Herald Is right. There aro Demo
crats, and not a few either, who will vote
for the Amendment. We can name them
by hundreds in the Northwest.”

FROM THE NEW TORN P.
ASSOCIATION.
Washington, Oct. 4.—Official advices
have been received here that eight hun
dred head of cattle, stolen by the
from Texas, were at Fort Bascorn, subject
to the order of the owners, on proof of
property.
The following preliminary proceedings
occurred at Albany, N. Y.
Resolved, That the organization known
as the Tammany Hall Organization is. the
regular organization of the Democracy of
New York, and that delegates be appointed
to tills Convention.
Resolved, That recognizing the delegates
from the county of New York, represent
ing the section of the Democratic party
known as the Mozart Hall, as sound Denao-
crata of unquestionable fidelity to the
principles and nominations of the Demo
cratic party of the State, we tender them
honorary seats in the Convention.
On motion, the German delegation was
included.
Mr. Messmore has been removed.
Mr. Cal cot’s successor is under consider
ation. The contest is bitter.
Florence, Oct. 4.—Official dispatches
are silent regarding the Rome disturbance-,
bnt confirm the Viterbo.
Sunday School Gamblinu Schemes.—
Speaking of this new fashionable vice, the
New York Tribune says:
Sunday-school gambling scheme*—-or, in
other words, lotteries and raffles at church
fairs—have become so common a feature of
those annual entertainments, that even the
charge of a Kings County Judge to the
Grand Jury, that it was the duty of that
body to indict every participant in such
f >radices for violation of law,caused mere-
y a week’s quaking among the fair offeu-
ers before they resumed the disreputable
swindle. Among the noticeable items of
news in our Mexican correspondence U
the fact that managers of the poor-house at
Jalapa have prayed the General Govern
ment to so far rescind tho order prohibit
ing all lottery schemes as to allow them to
continue a small lottery which they have
operated for years, and without whose aid
they cannot sustain their institution. If the
success of the almshouse in question is es
timated upon the number of inmates, then
the claim is undoubtedly well founded, for
wp know of no custom more conducive to
well-stocked poor-houses titan that which
instills & passion for lottery tickets or raf
fle chances. Supporting paupers by help
ing to beggar many now out of the alms
house, is about ou a par with sending Bi
bles tb Hindustan with mo-icy inveigled
from the public under like false pretences.
Thh Indian War*—The Commissioner of
Indian Affairs at Washington received the
following communication on tho 1st in
stant :
Os age Nation, South of Kansas,)
September % 1867. )
Hon. N. O. Taylor, Oom. of Indian Affairs,
Washington, D. (7.;
Dear Sir: We, the head Chlefe of the
Osage Indians, being very desirous to re
main on friendly term3 with our Great Fa
ther, the President of the United States, do
hereby renew our friendship, and do trust
that the Government of the United States
will extend to us the usual protection. We
have just returned from our summer hunt.
We have not met with any Indians un
friendly to our Great Father, and have
been successful on our hunt.
On our return from the plains wo were
told that we. as an Osage nation, had been
accused ol being unfriendly to the Gov
ernment, and disposed to disturb the set
tlers, our neighbors. To state the truth in
its reality, we desired and demanded such
white men as had settled on reservation to
remove their families and stock from our
lands, but we have, in no instance, disturb
ed any of the settlers who live on the
lands sold to the Government, or jciven in
trust by treaty of 29th September, 1865.
We ao not deny that during our hunt we
have seen some American horses among
our ponies, but on returning from the
plains we have carefully collected them all
and placed them under the care of a white
merchant to be returned to their rightful
owners. Permit us to observe that tbe
whites have stolen a larger number of our
ponies, whilst we have no means of ever
recovering them.
We are also told that the State of Kan
sas is organizing four companies of mili
tia to protect the white settlers in the
south part of Kansas against the hostile
Osages. We never were nor never intend
to bo hostile to our Government, or the
whites. We know that our welfare de
pends on their protection, and therefore
solicit the usual protection from the Gov
ernment.
Your friends and brothers,
Whitb Hair, [his x mark,]
Principal Chief Osage Nation.

Barnum’s Gorilla Attacks His Kkrpei: .
The Gorilla recently placed in Barnuin'*
Museum yesterday afternoon gavo an ex
hibition of his natural fierceness by at
tacking his keeper, Prof. Davison. Fortu
nately, the latter escaped without serious
injury, and at the same time without giv
ing the gorilla an opportunity to practi
cally demonstrate to the incredulous whe
ther the said animal has sufficient power
to tear a man to pieces.
Yesterday afternoon, as Mr. Davison wa«
in his accustomed place, he ventured too
near the bars of the cage, within reach of
tho monster. The hand of tho animal In
stantly grasped Davison’s right arm.
Prot'es3or Davison almost instinctively
dropped to the floor, so as to bring the
hand of the gorilla to the floor of the cage
before ho could grasp him with his other
hand. To have remained standing would
have given the gorilla an opportunity to
have pulled the arm out by the socket, if
he had the power, which Professor Davi
son professes to believe.
The grip of the animal slipped from the
arm ofMr. Davison, but still retained hold
of the coat. As the keeper fell, the beast
held his whole weight at arm’s length with
apparent ease. Professor Davison quickly
threw off his coat, which was torn tosh reda
by the gorilla.
The affair caused much excitement for u
few moments. Professor Davison waa
slightly injured.—New York Post.
The Question Settled.—The Interna
tional Congress, which has just met at
Paris, has decided that cholera is not
contagious, but is eminently infectious,
like yellow fever, typhus, etc. It origin
ates where large numbers of individuals
are collected under bad hygienic or clima-
teric conditions.
It is transported along great maritime,
fluvial or lands of communication by the
travelers who frequent them. Crowding is
the principal cause of cholera and of
almost all epidemics, and ventilation is the
best means of preventing and stopping
such maladies. To herd them together like
beasts is to kill them as a matter of cer
tainty. Individuals in an infected district
must therefore be scattered, and themselves
and their clothes be disinfected as soon as
possible. 4k

The Ram Memkimac.—Another effort is
now being made to raise the famous ram
Merrimac from the bed of tbe Elizabeth
(Va.) River, where she has remained an
obstruction to navigation since her de
struction during the war. All her gnus,
anchors and chains have beeu removed by
the wreckers in the employment of the
Government. All attempts to blow up tbe
hull have so far failed. The wreckers have
secured the iron prow, and are advertising
it for sale as a curious relie.
Gen. i*orE and the Press.—All reason
able men''in Georgia ought to congratu
late themselves that the military law in
this State is administered by* a man so
moderate, competent and patient as Gen.
Pope. Had be been disposed to retaliate
the abuse and insults which have been
heaped upon ium by the secession pres—
had he been tempted to use resentfully the
power in his hands—we should have found
them as quiet as they were when, just al
ter the surrender, they were apprehensive
that a King Stork would rule over them.
The senseless ridicule and vituperation
with which they assail Gen. Pope, show*
that the military tyranny they complain of
cannot be much of a tyranny, or they
would be more reticent in their language.
But they are determined not to be suited
either by mild or severe rule.—
Rejtublican.
