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. Democratic Pyramid INDIANA. OREGON. GEORGIA. ALABAMA. ARKANSAS. KENTUCKY. CONNECTICUT. WESTVIRGINIA. Republican Pyramid. OHIO. MAINE. VERMONT. The Demorats this year have carried eight States, having sixty-eight electoral votes; the Republicans have carried three States having thirty-four electoral votes. Two to one for Uncle Samuel.— Cincinnati Enquirer. Delaware should have been added to the Democratic pyramid. 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. • -Newnan Herald, 12th: “On last Sat urday evening R. M. Taylor and R. L. Sibley while crossing the railroad bridge in Senoia, their horse became frightened at a hand oar coming up the road while on the bridge and backed off, precipita ting young Taylor and buggy together with the horse, a distance of twenty-five feet, killing the horse immediately, de molishing the buggy, and injuring young Tavlor seriously, Mr. Sibley saved him self by jumping out of the buggy. 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. MASONIC NOTICE. AftEQUIAB mealing of Columbian A Lodge No, 7, F. & A.
