Ah unfair apportion meat is all that
gave the Radicals so largo a propor
tion of the Congressmen elected in
Ohio, as in Indiana. |Whon we
have reports of the Congressional
rote in each District, this will be
mado to appear.

The Marianna Courier states that
Mr. W. R. Swain, superintendent of
the Rock Cave plantation, Jackson
county, Fla., has gathered 800 barrels
of corn from forty acres of land. If
it takes five bushels to make a barrel
of corn in Florida, as elsewhere, Mr.
8. gathered 4,000 bushels, or 100 bush
els to the acre. In what Htato can
this be beaten ?
Judge Loohrane made a good ap
plication of an anecdote to tiie result
of the Ohio olection, at a Democratic
meeting in Atlanta on Friday night.
He told with great effect the tale of
the fellow who, when ho had wound
ed and chased the turkey without
catching it, and was laughed at, re
plied, ‘‘Well, you may laugh, but he
won’t roost so high any more!” The
story was greeted with roars of
laughter.
The Nqw York Sun charges that
the quid pro quo which Spain received
in the matter of the surrender of
Twoed without a treaty, was thnt our
Oovernment would no longer insist
on the punishment of Burriel, the
butcher of unarmed American citi
zens. That may be so, but still the
question remains unanswered, why
was the Administration at Washing
ton so anxious to get Tweed at this
or any other price?
The Philadelphia Times, a Liberal
Republican and Independent paper,
which supports neither Tilden nor
Hayes, says: “Ohio and Indiana
stand even in majority, face to face
in the great battle. The strong Re
publican State and the doubtful
Democratic State each presents its
average five thousand majority, and
Hayes is certified to tho country for
November enfeebled by his faltering
Republican lines, wliiile Hondrickais
presented to • the nation green with
the laurels of a substantial victory
wrested from the very desperation of
power."
Ten or twelve unknown white men,
well armed, broke Into the jail of
Oousbatta parish, La., on Wednesday
night last, and released nil the pris
oners. Four of the prisoners releas
ed were negroes, and the other was a
white man named Btrother. The N.
O. Bulletin says : “The belief is gene
ral that the men who entered the jail
are the friends of the man Strother,
a Radical, charged with an ttempt
upon the life of Mr. Z. T. Webster,
District Clerk, whioh occurred some
weeks ago and created so much ex
citement—the Radicals charging that
he was shot because ho was a Radi
cal/’
They have a peculiar way of deal
ing with ministerial scandals in Phil
adelphia, which we notice, not to
recommend imitation elsewhere, but
only to show ono of the different
forms in which an excitement about
such matters may vent itself. It oc
curred on Thursday night last, in the
Twelfth Baptist Church of that city,
when, in a church meeting, a mem
ber rose and read a paper accusing
the pastor. Rev. Mr. Bott, with im
proper intimacy with female mem
bers of the church. The report says
that “the accuser persevered in his
reading of the paper, although two
copies of the charges were snatched
from his hand. He was assailed by
female members of the congregation
with violent epithets, and the singing
of the doxology wus commenced to
drown the reading. At length, after
a very stormy session, it was decided
to investigate the charges. When the
reading commenced the pastor has
tened from the church. He was pur
sued by the father of a young lady
with whom he is charged with inti
macy; and the pursuit was continued
some distance down the street, but
was not successful.”

Notes and Imminent*.
Bob Ingersoll remarked when he
heard the news that if he had been
a Christian suckled on a creed out
worn he would have said
it all. As it was, he consented him
self with invoking all the deities of
Greek, Oriental and Norse mytholo
gy to convert Ohio and Indiana into
holes in the ground.
What does Gen. Kilpatrick think
now of a bloody-shirt campaign with
plenty of money? And is he not con
vinced that Anson Wolcott, the Inde
pendent candidate, who was poor
and needy and wanted money, sold
more than he was able to deliver?
The Republicans have sent “Black
Jick" Logan to stump lowa, where
they have from 40,000 to 60,000 major
ity.
General Kilpatrick is more than
ever convinced that the pen is
mightier than the sword in such
bands as his.
Bob Ingersoll has seen of the labor
of his tongue, and is abundantly dis
satisfied.— .V. F. World.
“THK INAI.IENABLF. RIGHT AMD
HUT* OF 80L.T1K6."
At the request of aoouple of gentle
men, we copy from the Atlanta Con
stUution a letter of Df. H. V. M. Mll
lor on the subject of the forco of
party nominations. There is a good
deal of abstract truth In Dr. Miller's
propositions,' but it Is plain enough
that he is striving behind “glittering
generalities” to Justify a revolt
against party authority when the
conditions to which he refers do not
exist. Wo have in Georgia no body
of men who have dictated nominees
to tho Democratic party—wo have
had no nominating conventions com
posed of “self-constituted” delegates.
In overy county in the State tho full
est and fairest opportunity has
been given to every voter of
tho Democratic party to par
ticipate lu the sclootion of such
delegates, and all who felt sufficient
Interest did so participate. Are
we to understand Dr. Mlllor as main
taining that after the members of a
political party have thus participated
in the making of a nomination, there
is no obligation—no covenant of good
faith—binding them to support tho
nominee ? Such would seem to be
the meaning of his phrase, “the in
alienable right and duty of bolting.”
But it is plain that such a conclusion
would destroy all organized effort
among men. It would subordinate
principle and faith to mere porsonal
caprioe or obstinacy. It would leave
a political party unorganized and
distracted to meet its better discip
lined opponent. In such a contest
numbers might avail but little, and
we would commit the folly of giving
the reins of government to a minor
ity simply because the majority were
too "independent" to act together.
Dr. Miller’s declaration that the
reservation of “the inalienable right
and duty of bolting” is the only se
curity for the good behavior of con
ventions, amounts to nothing less
than the claim that such conventions
have no powers and authority what
ever, and might just as well never be
held; because it assumes that every
member of tho party is just as free to
oppose tho nominee ns he was before
ho went into the convention. If the
right of bolting is reserved to the
minority in a body of this kind, it is
of course reserved to every member
of tho minority separately, and this
is setting up the caprlco of one man
against the decision of a body of men
with whom he united in counsel with
the understanding that the majority
should control, and in a matter not
of principle, but of party expediency
or personal choice merely. Dr. Miller
is mistaken. The “security” lies in
the party taking an interest in the
question before the convention
meets, and thus giving it direction.
Their security lies in controlling, in
stead of bolting, and a revolt cun
only be justitled by showing that tho
convention practiced a fraud upon
tho people—nominated a man whom
the people did not authorize them to
nominate. It is not pretended—can
not be pretended—that any such
fraud has been practiced in Georgia;
and until it is shown that an attempt
has been made to cheat or defeat the
will of tho people in this way, Dr.
Miller's generalities can have no ap
plication to the present political can
vass in Georgia.
INDIANA.
We asserted, a day or two ago, that
the Radicals wero enabled to elect a
majority of tbe.Congreasmen in Indi
ana ouiyby their so forming the Dis
tricts as to pile up heavy Democratic
majorities in a few of them, and we
expressed the opinion that when the
votes cast for Representatives to
Congress in all the Districts could be
compared, it would be found that the
Democratic majority for Congress
men was as large as that'for Gover
nor. This opinion has been more
than sustained by reports of the
the Congressional vote. The follow
ing returns and estimates of this
vote are furnished by telegraph:
First District--Fuller, Democrat, esti
mated at 1,500.
Second District-Cobb, Domocrat, esti
mated at 5,000.
Third District—Dicknell, Domocrat,esti
mated at 5,100.
Fourth District—Sexton, Republican,
offietal, 317.
Fifth District—Brown, Republican, esti
mated at 1,600.
Sixth District- -Robison, Republican, of
ficial, 802.
Seventh District—Hanna, Republcan,
party estimated at 1,600.
Eighth District—Hunter, Republican,
official, 1,080.
Ninth District -White, Republican, offi
cial. 1,272.
Tenth District—Calkins, Republican,
official, 1,840.
Eleventh District—Evans, Republican,
estimated at 1,200.
Twelfth District—Hamilton, Domocrat,
estimated at 6,400.
Thirteenth District—Baker, Republican.
2,300.
The majority for Williams, Dem.,
for Governor, is now ascertained
from the full returns to be 5,500.
But in the vote for Congressmen, ac
ooording to the above statement, the
Democratic majority is 8,329. The
Democratic majorities range from 1,-
500 to 6,400, the Radical majorities
from 302 to 2,300.
If the Radicals have secured a ma
jority in the Legislature at all, it is
due to the better distribution ot their
strength entirely.

TAMMANY AND ANTI-TAMMANY.
We stated in our last issue that the
Ua>il* of a union between the Tam
many and Anti-Tammany wings of
the Now York city Democracy had
been agreed upon. This basis, as we
learn from the World, was that Tam
many should have two-thirds and
Anti-Tammany one-third of tho offi
ces to be filled at tho coming elec
tion. The committees of the two
parties met on Thursday for the pur
pose of apportioning the offices be
tween thorn, and this was found to
be a more difficult matter than the
agreement upon a basis. Tammany
propose® to take the Mayor, Sheriff,
Surrogate, throe Coroners (tho full
nomination) fourteen Assemblymen,
three Aldermen-at-large, eight Dis
trict Aldermen and live Congress
men; Anti-Tammany to have the
County Clerk, tho Superior Court
Judge, tho Marine Court Judge, two
Congressmen, seven Assemblymen,
one Alderman-at-large, the Senator
in the Fifth District and three Dis
trict Aldermen. This proposition
was not acceptable to tho Anti-Tam
many men, who rejected it without a
dissenting voice. Mr. • Coughlin
moved to amend by asking tho Tam
many people to give tho Mayor, one
third of the Aldermen and one-third
of tho Assemblymen to Anti-Tam
many, all tho other offices to bo nom
inated by Tammany. The amend
ment was accepted, and the motion
was carried.
Another meeting was to have been
held on Friday evening, when, it Is
much to be hoped, all tho differences
of these two factions wero settled.
The eyes of the Democrats all over
the country are now turned anxious
ly to Now York. Surely tho Demo
crats of that city cannot bo guilty of
the folly of going into the Presiden
tial contest with distracted ranks and
opposing forces. We shall hall as an
assurance of victory in November the
news of their settlement of their dif
ferences ; but we can have no such
confidence if they persist in their
foolish quarrel over the division of
spoils which they can only win by
union among themselves.
DIIIO AND INDIANA.
THE BLOODY-SHIRT CAMPAIGN A FAILURE.
Now York Herald. 12th.l
The Republicans founded their ap
peal on what is popularly called the
"blooded shirt.’’ With the except
ion of Mr. Schurz and J. D. Cox we
remember no prominent speaker in
either Ohio or Indiana who brought
into prominence those reforms which
the country needs. Civil service,
currency, economy, respectability
all went by the board and press, and
speakers urged only and continually
the danger of tho “united South,
danger by rebel war claims, aud at
tempted to arouse tho old war fever,
the feelings of bitterness, hostility
and suspicion toward the Southern
whites. Now, of course, this was
done deliberately. It was no chance
work. In July there was still reason
to hope, and oven to believe, that the
“bloody shirt,’would not appear in
tliis campaign. Suddenly and sim
ultaneously it was raised in both
States by all tho Republicans, with
out oause, and without any reason
except one—that they believed that,
on.the whole, this was their strongest
card. Tho field of argument lay open
to them to chooso, They could have
planted themselves on Civil Service
reform, on currency reform, on gen
eral good will and confidence, but
they preferred an appeal to dying
and dangerous passions, that seemed
to them their surest, and, wo must
believe, their only way to success.
Well, it hue failed them. Substan
tially their campaign with the
“bloody shirt” is a defeat. It was a
desperate enterprise, set on foot bv
the anti-reform wing of the parly,
which assumed command, and had
its own sweet will in the campaign.
It was the plan of the battle of the
Chandlers, Mortons, Logans, the
“war horses” of the Republican
side; and the subordinate lead
ers, not even excepting poor Mr.
Schurz at tho last, fell obediently
into line and fought it out, aud sub
stantially got beaten. Undoubtedly
they deserved it; but will it teach
the Republican party no lesson?
Will not Governor Hayes and those
leaders of his party who desire re
form now see that the old appeal of
the “bloody shirt,” to prejudice,
hatred and unreason is a failure, and
that it is high time for them to oust
the false leaders, to return to the truo
issues and questions and make their
struggle for November upon these!
Two courses are now open tp the
Republicans. They may go on as
they have begun, or they may at
once and finally cast off the “bloody
shirt” and base their appeal to the
people on distinct pledges of reform
and good government. It they have
the courage to do the last they have
still a hope of success; for there is
no doubt that while there is a univer
sal demand for “a change,” a con
siderable part of the voters would
prefer this “change” to come about
under Republican Federal rule. If
the reform wing of the party should
now corao forward and take posses
sion of the party machinery, vigor
ously and decisively inspire its
councils and efforts, and shako off
the Southern demagogues like
Kellogg, Packard, Spencer and
Chamberlain ;if they should proclaim
good will, and cut loose from the au
thors and supporters of notorious
abuses at Washington and in the
South, then they have still a chance
of success. But if,on the other hand,
as seems much more likely, the par
ty goes on as it has begun, then it
seems to us its fate is sealed. It will
be compelled in that case to encour
age still more its basest elements
everywhere, and to proceed to ex
treme measures iu the South in sup
port of the rotten Republican lead
ers there. We may expect to see the
President ordering troops into South
Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi
to back a notoriously corrupt crowd
of political gamblers. This cannot
now bo done without arousing
throughout the North a storm of
alarm and indignation which will
sweep the Republican leaders into a
deserved oblivion. If the party open
ly puts itself ou the side of corrup
tion and maladministration, North
and South, and misuses the Federal
power to maintain its rotten adher
ents in power, then it will deserve to
perish.

THK DKMDCHATIC VICTORIES!.
PRESS COMMENTS ON THE PRESENT rOLIT
CAI. SITUATION.
New York Herald, Ind.—lf the
Democrats mean to win they have
now an opportunity; but must put
their statesmen to the front und
speak out. Fortunately for them
the brunt of their canvass falls in
New York and other Eastern States,
where sound principles prevail and
can get a hearing.
New York Times, Bop.—We renew
our recommendations to friends In
this State to look well to the organiza
tion and harmony of the Republican
canvass. The strength of the opposi
tiinisnotso despicable that ft can
be safely disregarded.
New York Sun, Ind. Rep.—With
Indiana and West Virginia going
Democratic and Ohio Republican,
the Democrats have obtained all that
they expected in this contest, while,
on the other hand, with Indiana lost
to them, tho Republicans have cer
tainly got tho worst of the battle in
this sharp struggle.
Now York Tribune, Ind. Rep.—We
apprehend that there will be no giv
ing up of tho fight on the part of the
Democracy. The Republicans can
not afford to sit idle or count upon
their opponentt being too much dis
couraged to keep up the contest.
New York Graphic, Ind. Rep.—
The people are tired of it. Stories of
Southern indignities to tho blacks,
however authentic they may be,
smell of the outrage mill. Traitor,
rebel and Confederate have ceased to
scare or excite the old passions.
Albany Argus, Derm—Tilden and
Reform—Hendricks and Reunion !
By these signs we conquer. The
skies are bright with promise.
Utica Observer, Dem.—ln these
signs wo conquer. It was all in vain
that the rogues and blasphemers
waved thebloody-shirt over the hills
and prairies of the West. They have
exhausted their resources, they have
spent their money, they have fought
their fight and they have sounded
the retreat.
Rochester Union, Dem.—The Re
publican leaders will now probably
eoncentrate all their efforts upon
Now York. But it will be of no use.
They have spent their strength,
which from this time forth will be on
the wane.
Philadelphia Press, Rep.—These
victories do not warrant us in relax
ing our efforts.
Philadelphia Times, Ind.—Hayes is
certified to the country for November
enfeebled by his faltering Republi
can lines, while Hendricks is pre
sented to the nation green with the
laurels of a substantial victory wrest
ed from the very desperation of pow
er.
Philadelphia Enquirer, Rep.—
Ohio’s majority is 15,000 less than it
should have been, and Indiana’s—
well, tho less said about Indiana’s
majority tho better.
Harrisburg Patriot. Dem.—The re
sult in Ohio and Indiana proves that
the election of Samuel ,T. Tilden is
among the certainties with an earnest
and resolute effort.
Boston Globe, Ind.—The mistake of
tne Republicans from the point of
view of party policy is almost too
obvious to need argument. The dis
passionate men who make up the
body of independent voters, and who
are going to decide the contest be
tween the two parties, have no sym
pathy with this cry of anew rebel
lion or with the policy of repression
and proscription.
Boston Post, Dem.—lt is a great
victory. A victory of tho right over
the wrong, of honesty over corrup
tion. of the people over tho rings
that would rule them. It dooms the
Republican orgauiz ition, because it
dared not cut out that cancer, called
Grantism, which was consuming its
life.
Springfield, Mass .. Republican, Ind.
Rep.—The argument for Mr. Tilden’s
election is no stronger than it was
Monday, but the probability of it is
appreciably greater. It will be a lit
tle awkward for the Ifldiana Repub
lican organs which have been clam
oring for weeks past that Indiana is
“the real battle-field," and that de
feat there in October would mean the
election of Tilden in November. The
floating voter finds himself still
afloat, after all. But the swash is
Tildenward.
Hartford Times, Dem.—These Octo
ber elections assure the election of
Tilden and Headricks.
New Haven Register, Dem.—The
loss ot Indiana to the Republicans
renders Hayes’ chance for the succes
sion a hopeless one. Tho political
skies are brightening.
Bridgeport (Gann.) Farmer, Dem.—
With Indiana and West Virginia
Democratic, the election of Governor
Tilden is assured and beyond doubt.
He could have been elected without
Indiana, but with that State Demo
cratic certainty becomes doubly sure.
Patterson (N. J.) Guardian, Dem.—
The October State elections have
demonstrated that the American peo
ple cannot be bought with their own
money, embezzled by corruption and
fraud on the part of their temporary
rulers. Thank God for that!
Newark Journal, Dem.—Even sup
posing that Ohio has not gone Dem
ocratic, but has just been saved from
tho wreck by a bare majority, the
defeat of Radicalism is still over
whelming. The cause of right has
triumphed over wrong. October is
the sure harbinger of November.
Portland, Me., Argus, Dem.—Til
den and reform. That is what the
dispatches meaD. We have fought
thq good fight and won the victory.
Indianapolis Sentinel, iDem.
Henceforth the bloody shirt will be a
blank in our politics. It is manifest
ly our interest tc cultivate fraternal
relations with the South. It is our
duty to live in charity with oil men.
In the great State of Indiana the bat
tle is over, the victory decisive and
the enemy Is ours. Neither spite nor
invective nor ridicule has been able
to move the masses from their just
victorious determination. We have
gallantly fought the battle of tho na
tional contest, and it may fairly be
considered as settled. The State is
safe and the nation saved.
After the Indians who Don't Like the
Treaty.
In Camp, Black Hills, Oct. 12—via
Spring Hill, Oct. 13.—Gen. Merritt
leaves this forenoon with about 700
cavalrymen of his command on a
raid to the east of here. No one but
the General knows the exact line of
march, or what Indians it is expected
to fight. It is believed, however,
that it is occasioned by the reported
absence from Red Cloud reservation
of a number of small parties. They
are young bucks who are angry with
the old chiefs like Red Cloud or Rain
Dog for signing the treaty instead of
making war. The command takes
ten days’ rations and moves with a
pack train.
Pennsylvania is an important State
which has heretofore held her State
election in October, but this year
elects in November. The Democrats
feel great confidence that they will
carry it for Tilden and Hendricks.
