RESULT OF THE ELECTION —HOW THE DEMO CRATIC PARTY WAS DEFEATED —FIFTEEN THOUSAND ILLEGAL RADICAL VOTES POLL ED —THE OniO DELEGATION IN THE NEXT CONUUESS—THE DEMOCRACY NOT DIS COURAGED. [Correspondence of the World. Cleveland, 0., October 15. After a most gallant fight, in which every Inch of the State was hotly contested, the Democracy are defeated by from ten to flfteeu thousand majority. How this re sult was accomplished is plain to every body here. Such an election almost ap proaches a farce, for as far as honesty in conducting a campaign is concerned, the Radical party are put to the blush in Ohio. In the first place, to carry out their nefa rious objects aud intentions, they nomina ted men for Congress whom they knew to be defaulters, perjurers and thieves, tried and convicted within their own bailiwicks.— Such men, the like of Ashley, whose Cono ver manipulations are fresh in the public mind ; Gibson, the defaulting State Treasu rer of Ohio; Eggleston, “ baggage-checker” for Hamilton county, and last, but hot least in the mires of corruption, the noto rious Bob Sehenck, of Dayton. These were the men who cried, “ Fraud! fraud ! the State in danger!” when every honest man knew the noise was made to cover up their own guilty transactions. Would such men as Ashley, Gibson, Eggleston and Schenck stop a moment to colonize when an oppor tunity was afforded them ? No! it is not in the nature of the men—it’s not exactly their idea of a political fight. Now, from Information upon which implicit reli ance can be placed, it is absolutely true that not less than fifteen thou sand illegal Radical votes were cast on Tuesday, besides an illegal vote of 8,000 in Northern Ohio. Carpet-baggers from Michigan, probably the agents of “blood letting” Chandler, swarmed Northwestern Ohio, while Ashtabula, Lake, Trumbull and Mahoning counties were filled with the hirelings of the Radical State Central Com mittee from New York. Besides this, every negro from Pittsburg, from Indiana, De troit, and thousands from Kentucky were rushed into those conuties where the Radi cals have large majorities and, of course, manage.things to suit themselves, regardless of law—that “ paradise on God’s footstool, the beautiful town of Oberllncast three lvun _ deed and twenty negro notes on Tuesday , ami we find the Radical presses gloating over such a liigh-hauded outrage. Mr. Val landigham was shamefully treated in his district. No regard whatever was paid to the laws of the State, and five hundred men, dependent upon charity, who were declared illegal voters by the Legislature of last Wiuter, voted under the advice of Schenck, upon the ground that the Supreme Court would hereafter declare the law unconstitutional! Had it not been for that illegal vote in Dayton, Mr. Val . landigham would have been elected. He is defeated by only 411 votes. Mr. Wra. H. Gibson, Mr. James M. Ashley, Mr. Benja min Eggleston and Mr. Cooper, have all been allowed to remain at home, enjoying the comforts and pleasures of private life. After such an expression from their con stituents, it is doubtful whether such a course is very congenial to their tastes.— Notwithstanding the gross frauds which they perpetrated, the voice of the people was too loud, and the devoted patriots were laid on the shelf. Winans, in the Columbus district, had a close shave. He has less than one hundred majority, and that was given him by the negroes in and about Zenia. Several other Radicals were ran Yery closely*—our friends making a gallant fight in very district. The following will comprise the delegation from Ohio to the Forty-fl rst Congress.

Reserve. [From the Atlanta Intelligencer. United States District Court, Northern Dis trict of Georgia. In the matter of Lind-) T « , . sey Perdue. j ln Bankruptcy. STATEMENT OF FACTS AGREED ON BY COUN SEL. In this case, on the 24th of April, 1860, the vendor, Win. L. Mitchell, now deceas ed, sold to the vendee, Lindsey Perdue, 640 acres of land, in Meriwether county, Ga., for SB,BOO, receiving in exchange, by way of payment therefor, another tract of land in said county, at the value and price of $6,100, and taking notes for the balance of the purchase money, to-wit: $3,700. Af terwards Mitchell died, and John A. Mitch ell beiDg appointed his executor, sued Per due in Meriwether Superior Court, and re covered judgment for $3,700. In proving fits debt in bankruptcy pro ceedings, subsequently taken, he asserted the vendor’s lien, and filed his exemplifica tion of his judgment in the case. Subse quent thereto, the assignee exempted 290 acres of the land, under the 14th section of the Bankrupt Act. Exceptions thereto were not filed within twenty days; and no tice was not given of the setting apart of the exemption to bankrupt or of assignee’s report on the subject. But afterwards Mitchell, soon after receiving information of the claim of exemption, filed his petition before the register, and prayed that the question of allowing or disallowing the vendor’s lien, and disposal of the land and payment of said unpaid purchase money be certified to Judge Erskine for his de cision and instructions. The register de cided, sustaining the act of the assignee in disallowing the vendor’s lien, and allowing the exemption of 290 acres of the land, in cluding the homestead. Those igmkAke record, except the agreement -which the case was certified stnd th W in which the Hen was asserted, are now lie fore the court ariff'dflclsioh. • StotielA*?for «lohu * ** the above, and &iy tbatthe lavC does not require the assignee to give notice 1 that he has Set apart to the bankrupt the exempted property.

Resting upon the foregoing statement of facts in the matter of Lindsey Perdue, a voluntary bankrupt, the court will pronounce its decision. The contro versy is between the immediate parties to the contract of sale of the 640 acres of land, and not between the vendor and remote party, for instance, a bona fide purchaser from the vendee, who bought the pro perty and paid the purchase money without notice. The matter of the vendor’s lien is involv ed in this case, and it has been elaborately argued. If it were absolutely essential to a determination of this question that a histo ry of the peculiar principles inherent in, and which control the vendor’s lien, should be discussed, and time permitted me to do so, (which it does not,) I might with judi cial propriety decline; for this has already been well done, not only by the Supreme Court of tlie nation, in Bayleyvs. Greenleaf, 7, Wheat 46; see also Brown vs. Gilman, 4, Id. 225 ; Thredgill vs. Pintard, 12, How.' 35; and by Mr. Justicc Story in Gilman vs. Brown, 1, Mason, 191; but likewise by Nisbet, J., in delivering the opinion of the Supreme Court of Georgia, Wellborn ife Duncan vs. Williams, 9, Ga., 86, and in Webb vs. Robin son, 14 Id., 216. In these last two cases, this eminent judge has given a clear expo sition of the doctrine of the veudor’s lien, the incidents dependent upon it, and the consequences which flows from it. At the time of the alienation of the land by Mitchell Jto Perdue, the vendor’s lien for the unpaid purchase money was of force in this State, aud there is no evidence what ever before me indicating that tins lien was waived by taking security, or otherwise.— In Bass vs. Ware, 34, Ga.,386, it was ruled— Walker, J., delivering the decision of the court—that the abrogation of the vendor’s lien applies only to those liens created after the Code went into effect, which was subse quent to the sale of the land.. It was contended for the bankrupt, that the vendor’s l'en could not exist against him, because the vendor received in ex change, by way of payment for the land, another tract of land at the value or price of $5,100, and $3,700 in notes. These notes are now in judgment at the suit of the exe cutor of the veudor, and remain unpaid. I cannot rale the point in favor of the bank rupt. The sale was of 640 acres of land for SB,BOO. A tract of land of the value of $5,100 was given as part paymeut, and the residue of the purchase money in notes. I can see no difference in principle, whether a part of the purchase money was paid in cash or in land at an agreed price; either goes to extinguish the debt pro tanto. Three is, neverthless, some analogy between this proposition and the case of an exchange of land for other land of equal agreed value. In the former c ise, the vendor’s lien, or equitable mortgage, as it has been called, attaches on the delivery of the conveyance, binding the vendee, who becomes a trustee for the vendor for the unpaid purchase money ; it not only exists against the ven dee, but also against his heirs and volun teers and all other purchasers from him, with notice of the existence of the vender's equity. The lien will also prevail against assignees under the Bankrupt Law, and again the claim of dower by the wife of the purchaser, unless there be a positive law to the contrary. 2, Story Eq. Jur.* Secs. 1227, 1228; 4, Kent, 151; 9, Ga., 86; 14, Id., 216 ; Fisher vs. Johnson, 5, Ind. R., 492. In the latter case, that of an exchange, the ex change fnust be a mutual grant of equal interests in land, the one in consideration of the other, 2, Bla. Com. 323; Litt. Sec. 62. It is said, however, that exchange in the United States does not differ from bargain and sale. 2, Bouv. Inst. n. 2055. The assignee set apart 290 of the 640 acres to the bankrupt, as exempted under the provisions of the 14th section of the Bankrupt Law. On the part of the execu tor of the vendor, this allotment by the as signee, which was approved by Register McKinley, is now sought to be set aside, for the reason that the purchase money lor the land has not been paid; while on the side of the bankrupt it is insisted that the assignment of the 290 acres was legal. The General Assembly of the State of Georgia, in December„lß43, passed a statute exempt ing 50 acres of land from levy and sale, un der any judgment, order or decree of any court in this State, founded on any con tract made after the Ist-of January, 1844, “ except the same shall be for tile purchase money of said land, for the payment of which said land shall be. bound. Cobb’s Dig. 390. And Such, I apprehend, is the law on general principles of equity, without any positive enactment. This was in force on the 24th of April, 1860, the date of the sale, and so continued until the abrogation of the vendor’s lien by the Code. The sav ing or reservation just quoted was omitted from the Code; obviously, because, when the vendor’s lien was abrogated, this reser vation of the land to the vendor for the un paid purchase money would be repuguant to the repeal of the equitable lien by the Code. But the Code did not intend to an nul the reservation in the law of 1843 so as to act retrospectively; for to do so would be an attempt to impair the obligation of contracts. The statutory reservation was an incident—indeed, a part of the contract of sale. ’’And the 7th section of the Code itself provides against its violation: “Laws prescribe only for the future.” And, where the vendor has not waived his equitable lien, this court would not, either in justice or morals, be warranted in allowing the vendee bankrupt to have dominion over, and enjoy an estate in land which he has never paid for. The vendor’s lien must pre vail. Ido not think that Congress intend ed that the Bankrupt Law should override cases of this nature. It appears from the statement agreed on by counsel that it was after the asserting of the vendor’s lien, and the filing of the ex emplification of the judgment obtained for the unpaid purchase money, that the assig nee exempted the 290 acres. But it was argued that exceptions to this act of the assignee must be taken within twenty days next after the allotment of the land to the bankrupt, and that the law does not require the assignee to give notice that the land was set apart; and order XIX of the Gen eral Orders iu Bankruptcy, promulgated by the Supreme Court of the'United States, is relied on. This order, after speaking of the duty of the assignee to set off articles to the bankrupt, according to the provisions of the 14th section, giving the estimated value of each article, concludes as follows: “ And any creditor may take exceptions to the determination of the assignee within twenty days after the filing of the report.” Looking to the general intent and scope of the bankrupt law, and to order XIX, I am of the opinion that the Supreme Court did not mean that the auxiliary “ may,” as here used, is to be taken in an imperative sense. On the contrary, it seems to me that the Supreme Court intended to leave a discretion with the District and Circuit Courts—to permit them to repair accidents, correct mistakes and prevent frauds. No good reason has been given, or authority invoked, going to show that the law does not require the assignee to give notice that exempted property has been set apart.— Therefore, I cannot question the correct ness of order XIX. And upon the question of time, it may not be foreign to remark that the objections taken by the vendor’s executor go to the title and not to the quan tity of land set apart. It is ordered and adjudged by the court here that the decision of the register be re versed and that the actings and doings of the ril thepremises bo and they are hereby feet aside; and that the said 640 wrnres of land, witjh the rights and apnurte nances thereunto bele^r*® - b» *<>oT, Duke assignee, tinder the tfce.'aTni M&VzV-’/bW into the at MfSM.* r s for The clerk will certify this decision to Mr. Register McKinley.

Views op a Foreigner. —The editor of the Courrier des Flats Unis thus expresses his opinions of the Presidential election: “ It has seemed to us a matter of small mo ment whether the name of Grant or that of Seymour shall issue from the electoral urn; and now, more than ever, we are persuaded that to whichever side the balance inclines, whatever party may gain power, will be compelled to devote itself to restoring pub lic affairs to their normal condition—to re construct the South without partisan views —to bestow on all the States equality in the Union—to reduce the public expenses, in flated by prodigality and corruption—to re duce the taxes—in a word, to heal the wounds of the country and begin anew era.” The editor proceeds to express the opin ion that anew party, “ 2he Party of the. Future ,” will arise, created by the necessi ties of the country, composed of the pa triotic and conservative men of both of the existing parties. He thinks he sees already the beginning of this party among the peo ple themselves, who, in the elections just past, have shown their aversion to men of extreme views ; aud he instances the rejec tion of Mr. Ashley and Vallandigham in Ohio. He advises the Democrats not to waste their strength on the Presidential election—as the President, whoever he be, will be mastered by his situation and the condition and necessities of the country— and to devote themselves to the Congres sional elections. “ The future belongs to them,” lie says, “or at least to the party which will spring from the moderate ele ment of the Republican party. Around this nucleus will necessarily rally all who are not pervaded by the spirit of violence and faction, to which the country is indebt ed in these latter days for so many disor ders and so much ruin. We give these views of an enlightened foreigner—who, being less under the influ ence of the partisan feeling which influ ences more or less every nature —may see our situation more clearly than we can. [Richmond Whig. We invite the attention of our readers to the following correction of an error by the Hon. David Irwin, of the compilation which originally appeared in the Macon Telegraph, and was copied into this paper, relative to the constitutional and statutory provisions governing elections in Georgia. It is im portant that the error be corrected by the journals of this State that have copied the compilation referred to: [For the Intelligencer. Marietta, Ga., October 15,1868. I see in your paper of the 13th inst. a chapter containing the constitutional and statutory provisions governing elections in Georgia. This is a very important and useful decument to the public, and should be correct. In Article 4of that Chapter, § 1332 of the revised Code, I find an error, not however, attributable to yon. I find it so in the Code; said Article and Section fixes the time of electing Electors of President and Vice-President on the first Monday in November, when it should be on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The words underscored were omitted by a mis take of the printer, and not discovered until I saw your paper. I find it correct in my revised manuscript. Please make the cor rection in yodr paper. I send yon the Sec tion as it should be, on the next page. Very truly, yonr friend, David Irwin. § 1332.
