We concede the election in Indiana of five republicans???Heilman, Browne r Cal kins, Cowgill and Baker. Five democrats are known to be elected???Cobb, Brick- nell. New, Hostetter and Colerick. One national, Mr. He La Matyr, is elected. This leaves the sixth and ninth districts laseificd. We have given in the table ???ne to the democrats and one to the re publicans. The sixth district is now rep resented by Mr. Robinson, repuhlican,who was elected by a plurality of 276. There were three candidates before the people ???n Tuesday, and we have seen nothing to indicate the defeat of the democratic nominee in this close district. In the *ther doubtful district, the ninth, there were also three candidates. The notori ous God love S. Orth had at last accounts a plurality of 2-11, with Fountain county to hear from. Fountain county lias long Ikvii a close county, casting one year a 'lemocratic majority an<^ reversing it per haps the next. Mr. De La Matyr, the uveessful national candidate from the Indianapolis district, was formerly aradi ???al Methodist preacher, but he received the democratic nomination,and Is claimed a democratic greenbacker. The chances are therefore good tliat the democrats will control the delegation. The result iv event, a handsome one, for the apj**rtionmcnt act of the state requires tUO democrats to elect a congressman, while 23,060 republicans can elect one. If we have, as now seems probable, car ried lioth branches of tlie legislature, this nefarious law will lie repealed. It is almost certain that the democrats have a majority on joint Imllot, which en sures the ^return of Mr. Voorhees to the senate. In Iowa, two nominees of the demo- mocratsand greenlmckers haVe broken the solidity of republicanism by carrying the sixth and seventh districts. Mr. Gil lette, of the seventh dis trict, is a good democrat. One of the West Virginia districts is dis tressingly crhjse, hut we are satisfied that the democratic nominee, Mr. Wilson, will pull through. To sum up, we have gained six inein- l>ers of congress, secured the control of two additional state; delegations, those of Ohio and Indiana, and carried tlie only legislature of tlie four states that has a ???nator to elect this winter.

There ill l>e time enough for that when full ???turns are liefore us. In the meanwhile e an* left to contemplate the reversal of dcinocratifi; majority of over twenty-two tlioiisaiul in Ohio in the course of a sin gle year, and the defeat of the Ohio idea in the state that gave it birth and that to-ilay overwhelmingly opposed to a sin- ;le gold liasis, to a forced resumption and to farther contraction. Tlie total vote of Ohio Is over 650,000, and there is no rea son to doubt that the greenback vote of Tuesday exceeded 75,000. Add these figures to the democratic vote and we have a majority against further contrac tion and in favor of the substitution of greenbacks for national liank notes, of sixty thousand. And yet the news is bulletined all over the country to-day that Ohio has repudiate*! the Ohio idea and adopted the hard-money theory of John Shennan and the eastern money lenders. Tlie Cincinnati Gazette de clared almost before the smoke of the conflict had been cleared away, tliat it was a victory over, what it calls, ???a scheme of false and slippery money??????that is, over greenbacks, and in fa vor of bank notes and a gold basis. Why is this? How is it that the ene mies of currency reform are able to nul lify in Ohio a j??opular verdict of 60,000, more or less? Why has the state been turned over to the supporters of John hennan and the bondholders? Tlie resison is as plain as the nose on nan???s face. The friends of currency re form were divided, while the enemy re mained compact and harmonious. With folly almost incredible, men left refused to join tlie only party that could carry into practice their ideas, and threw away their votes on party that alisolntely had no chance of gaining a control either of the state federal government. Tlie very reforms they desired have thus been stifled, ami their own consciences must tell them that they are primarily responsible for the reverse they have encounter**!. Tlie monopolists an*l money sharks from one end of the country to the other are this morning exulting over their unexpected *-scape, and they will doubtless proceed without delay to re-establish their shaken authority. But the triumph of the gold bugs is not ill. The third-party folly in Ohio has riven the party of corruption and misrule u new lease of life. Hope and vigor hav taken the place of despair and apathy. And the grcenbackers did it; for every vote cast for the greenback ticket in Ohio was a vote indirectly cast in favor of the party tliat opposes home rule, supports the centralization of federal i??ower and upholds the gigantic fraud of 1876. If the republicans have secured a majority of the Ohioand Indiana delegations,through the diversion of votes to the greenback tickets, tlie election of a republican hard- money president is possible in 1880, thus jierliaps bringing hopeless defeat home the *lehtor class and untold injury upon the country. It is just such a pro gramme as this that tlie greenback movement makes possible. It is just such a |??eril that it leads up to. Every vote cast in ??>hio or in Georgia, or in any other state against tlie democratic nom inves, operates <o lengthen the rule of the moot fi-omipt party tliat the country has ever known, and to rivet the chains that tlie east have put upon us. There s no help for us (tolitically or financially, ???xoept through the democratic party, am! the re?-tilt in Ohio ought to fully ???pen the eyes of every intelligent man the dangers of the situation. T*??e Mew Lejrtnlatui Tlie general assembly meets on the 6th ilay of November, and the session that will follow will be one of tlie most impor- i nt held in Georgia for many years, wul assemble under new auspices, and its duties will lie new and varied. One of these will be the rearrangement and readjustment of the law under tbe new constitution, and this will involve grave responsibilities. From present appear ances Hon. Rufus E. Lester will lie elected president of the senate without opposi tion. He is an excellent presiding officer, prompt, alert and thoroughly fa miliar with parliamentary law. He made many friends daring the last sion of the legislature by his fearless im partiality and his methods of dispatching business. When the last general assem bly met be was eleete<l for two years, but the calling of the constitutional conven tion and the adoption of the new consti tution made it necessary to elect a new legislature for the government of which new officers will have to be chosen. Hon. A. O. Bacon will be re-elected speaker of the house. He is one of the most expert parliamentarians in the state, and one of the most popular of onr public men. During his recent European tour he took occasion to frequently attend the sessions of the British parliament, thus fortifying his own experience and confirming his practice. Major Bacon expenses that it economical, attending the will to nec- and there portunity to re-establish home-rule, and to appoint honest, efficient and respecta ble men to office.

He had just liecn to hold a conferemx* at Denver, Colorado, and went, thence to Montana to hold the conference there. He was, of course, on a stage, and one bright, cold morning he reached a breakfast house to find it in flames. The Cheyenne Indians had just made a raid on the place, and had destroyed things generally. The good bish op found a joor Methodist preacher sitting a uite disconsolate near the ruins.. The In- ians had robbed him of his horse and wag on. The savages had not toen gone three hours, and the bishop was luckily date enough to escape. At a recent concert, it was the subject of remark, that in what ???fine voice??? tlie singers were; in commending his good judgment, the leader will pardon q<* for whispering that he always recommends Bull's Cough Syrup for clearing and strengthening the voice.
