Address of the Demoeratic Na- " tional Committee to the " Peaple of the United States, The State Liberal Committee’s Appeal to the People of New York, Shanks, Radical Candidate, Beaten in the Ninth In- diana District. ‘Congressional Nominations-=-Miscel- Ianeous Ktems, ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC_NATIONAL COMMITTEE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. New Yorr, Oct. 14.—The National Democratic Committee have issued the following eddress to the people of the United States: The October elections are over. They enable us to form tolerably accurate idea of the true political situation of the country. In Georgia Wwe have to recount a victory for the Liberal ticket so nnaxufl)lcd a8 to take her out of the list of doubtful Btates, and practically to promounce in edvance the decision of et least 125 votes the Electoral College. To this number it is only necessary to add sixty votes to elect Greeley and Brown. In Pennsylvanis tho distinguiehed Chairman of the Liberal Committoe has eloguently characterized the methods by which the result of the election there was accomplished. In Ohio, despite the most procedented gaius for tho Liberal Damo- cratic ticket, the Grant managers have carried the election by a reduced majority, having brought to the polls their_entire reserve vote. Had our Democratic friends in certain localitics of that great Commonwealth shown the same earnestness and activity, and_cnabled us, like our enemies, to record our entire strength, thoy would now be esulting over a brilliant victory. In Todienn the Democratic and Liberal farces have achieved a most important success over the Panniavlmnin tactics, most un- sorupulously employed by tho Administration and its allies, showing thus that a frce people, when aronsed, knovw their rights, and dare main. tain them. diang hus fairly demonstrated that ehe can neither be bought nor bullied. - The moral of these results fs that victory is still in plain view for our national ticket, and that en- orgy and coursge will assuro it; that victory must be won. wemean to preserve free in- in etitutions on_ this continent, we must aseure it. The event in Peonneylvania on Tuesdsy last, when considered inits causes, is the mvstnpfzdling olitical catastrophe that has ever taken place in this country. Should the system through which this catastrophe was brought about be condoned by the people, and foisted on the other States, it seals the doom of freedom in America. A ead contest it is surely, that the city in which our Republic was born, amid the anthems of a free geople, should now now be the first to toll' the knell of its liberties. It is for tho free, un- bought people of all the States to calmly re- view the fearful crime sgainst euffrage in Pennsylvania, and to decide whether it shall be repested within theirown borders. For the first time the system of free governmentand the sanctity of the ballot are really on trialin the United States. From this hour forward the pres- ervation of the franchise in its integrity dwarfs all other izsuos. Let our friends in each of the Btates catch iration from the heroic conduct of our fellow-eitizens in Georgis, and in Indi- ena, and from now till November let their strug- glo 'be manful and nncenainf for liberty and an untainted ballot-box; for reform and an honest Administration of the Government. (Signed.) AveusTos BeneLy, Chag{:mn of the National Democratic Com- mitteo. The Tribune makes the following comment : #The Democratic National Committee meets tho situation with hlfh courage and wisdom. The admirable address of Mr. Bchell is the rallying cry for the short, sharp, and decisive campaign that remains. We may make it end in success if we will. The Democratic State Committee of Ohio frankly tells the csuse of failure to make the victory there complete. Tho Liberal Re- publicans, it eeys, gave them all the voes they needed, aud more, but they had not themselves brought out their own vote. The State Com- mitteo of Pennsylvania might truthfally make & gimilar explanation. . Thero is a large olement of the Hariranft majority direcily traceable to apathetic or dis- contented Democrats. We were cheated 10,000 in Philadelphia. We lost a greater number of votes for which we hud reason to look to the arty to which Charles R. Buckalew has been so sjs&ingulsbed sn ornament. We may trust it for better work now that its leaders frankly recognize the situation. Between now and No- vember there will be some of the hardest polit cal fighting ever seen in this country. The Li eral party 18 too well founded, and {00 nobly i spired, to be crushed by an engagement which Ioses two States and secures one.” ADDRESS TO THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribunc. New Yorg, Oct. 14.—The following is the ad- dress to the Liberal Republicans of the State of New York: HeapquanTers N. Y. Lis. REp. STATE Cont., 81. Nicnoras Hotkr, Oct. 14, 1872, The results of the Octobes ctions_have not fulfilled our just expectations. Though Indiana is tied withd Liberal Governor and Buperin- tendent of Education, chosen by decided me- jorities ; while Ohio has so far reduced the ad- verse mejority that our brethren in that State confidently hope to be successful at the coming election; ~ while Georgia declared for us by & mejority which insures the choice of Greeley and Brown electers in nearly every Southorn State, yet_the enormous majority counted against us'in Pennsylvania has given our adversaries aesurance that by like lavish disbursements and fraudulent practices they may carry slmost any State they choose, includ- ing even New York. - There is no intelligent cit- izen, of whetever party, who does not realize that the 85,000 mojority scored up in Pennsyl- vania for Hartranft over Buckalew ropresents not the convictions of the voters, but the vast sums whereby those convictions have beon overborne, end that this majority conld have just as_easily beon given to eithor of the two undoubted g;i(f’lmfic peculators who were pardoned out of felon's cells, where they had spent but a few months in order that their testimony might smooth the way to Hart- ran{t's election. A contestis now forced upon us between money and manhood. Al the ex- penditures of all parties in former Presidential elections do not equal in the sgeTogate the vast sums with which every contested State is supplied in order to make them seem to desire and consent to the retention of the presont rule &t Washington. Not only are office-holders, 1snd-grant jobbers, subsl;}; mongers, and_Gov- ernment contractors of kinds assessed and reassessed to promote the re-eloction of General Grant, but we are well assured that European bond-holders and fund-mongers who never saw this country, whose rights we nover questioned, whose interests we never aseailed, have been in- duced to subscribe and contribute bonnteously to the same end. We cannot raise dimes to meet the dollers thus poured out against us, No credit moblier has dex- trously transferred millions to our pock- ets, and fostened o corresponding debt upon the industry and property of the toiling ‘masses, No Secretary of the Treasury stands ready to belp us Al our pockets or our campaij chest by stock gambling, in which he loads the dice 8o a8 to make it certain that we shall win. In short we have but the few dollers proffered A d ty-ti -6t., for business. By ordy | B, TR ey o ek, Dporder of us oy those who huve honestly earned them, and we must make therewith the best fight we can, while the venal, the sordid, -the rapacious largely supply their tens of thousands to our antagonists, confdontly expecting theis rotum with lsrge usury throngh the legislation and jobbery whereby the few are emriched 2t the cost of the many. Of course, these are all shouting in chorus that we are already beaten. But we ere not beaten. There are twenty States casting nearly 200 electoral votes that we can still carry if we only will. Wearain danger of defeat mainly because some faint heerfs are discouraged. " Alarge majority of the American people realize that wo stand on the Tight plat- {orm, and they at least desire our success, ey desire, a8 we do, a perfect National reconciliation on the basis of universal amnesty and impartial liborty. They desiro slso Netionel purifi- cation, and 8 genuine Civil Service Reform, whereby the freedom of election shall be protected and shielded from the. enormous corrupting patronage of the TFederal executive. If w6 shall be overborne in this elec- tion, it will be generally conceded within & year that'the roforms for which we struggled were enuine and necessary. In every contest be- ween money and manhood, the latter is certain of ultimate if notinstantsuccess. Brethren, we must not be beaten. Our country has too much at stake on the issue of this confest. Resolve with us this day that by t’u\u’ stout hearts, and strong arms, the Libersal cause and candidates shall be resistlessly borne onward to a decisive, Beneficent trinmph. On behalf of the Liberal Republican State Committee. (Bigned.) Jomx CocmeaNE, Chairman, THE VOTE OF INDIANA, INpraNapoLs, Oct. 14.—The official vote of 77 countics, received atthe Secretary of State's office, with the semi-official returns from the other 18 counties, give Hendricks, Democrat, for Governor, 894 mnjarit{; Loonidas Sexton, Republican, for Lieutenant Governor, 1,313 ma~ mejority; W. W. Curry, Republican, for Secre- tary of State, 1,163 majority; J. A. Wildman, TRepublican, for Anditor, 1,254, majority; J. B, Glover, Rspuplican, for frohaurer, 1,620 major- ity; G. L. Orth, Republican, for Congressman- at-Liarge, 1,147 majority ; William Williams, Re- ublican, Congressman-at-Large, 1,474 majority. o balanco of the State ~ ticket, o%- copt Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, is _ Ropublican. For the Iatter office, Milton B. Hopkins, Democrat, is clected. The Legislature, from the official re- turns, will stand 54 Republicans to 46 Demo- crats in the House, and 27 Republicans to 28 Democrats in the Senate. 1 Tho official vote of the Ninth Congressional District elects Neff over Shanks, Republican, by 28 votos; but in one township in Adams County, Shanke’ district, 47 Republican votes were thrown out on account of the words * Repub- lican Ticket,” printed at the head of the ticket. If theso votes are allowed in the final count, Shanke will be elected by 19 votes. Both parties ere preparing to renew the con- toat for the Presidential election. ADDRESS TO THE LIBERALS OF MISSOURI. Sr. Louss, Oct. 14.—The Liberal State Com- mittco have issued e address to the Libsrals of Missour, in whioh the recent olections are re- viowed, and much hope for the future s ex- prossed. It is claimed thas ul the Southorn tates, oxcepting North and South Carolina and Missishippl, will_go for Greoloy. giving him 98 eloctoral votes; New York, New Jersey, Conneo- ticut, Indiann, Nevada, and Missouri are regard- od 03 certain for the Liberal ticket, piv- ing oighty-three more votes, or enough, within three, to elect. New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Californis, and, Iilindis, although doubtful, are considered almost certain _for Greeloy; at loast cnongh votes will be_obtained from them to render o victory .in November sure. THE DAKOTA DELEGATE ELECTION. Yaskron, D. T., Oct. 13.—Trustworthy re- turns from the northern pert of the Territory, and along the line of the Northern Pacific Rail- roed, show a concentration of the Representa- tive vote on Brookings, and giving him a major- ity of nearly 800 in thaf portion of the Territory. This puts him 500 shead of Moody, the other Republican candidate, and probably elects him by & plurality vote over Armstrong, Democrat and Liberal, though it will be some time befora the official returns are all in. The contest bee tween Brookings and Armstrong may be close. CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS, - = NEw Yomg, Oct. 14.—James W. Covert had been nominated for Congress by the Democrats of the First District of New York. - 87. Louts, Oct. 14.—The Democrats of the Third District in this city, at the third meeting of their Conventlon to-night, nominated Wm, H. Btone for Congress.

INDIAN RAVAGES. The Apachcs Murdering and Plunders ing in Arizona. BN Franorsco, Oct. 14,—Advices from Tuc- son, Arizona, Oct. 8, say, on Sept. 30, the Apaches attacked Hughes' ranche, near Critten- den, end killed one Mexican snd &tole the ‘ani- mals.

An order was recoived by Lieutenant Hall from Goward, not to fire on the Indians in the moun- tains unless engeged in actual ontrages. The eame order Wwas sent to all posts of the South Gila_ river on the same doy of the murder of the soldiers.

Escape and Perils of Survivors---Six Lives Lost---Story of an Officer. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune. RaoINE, Wis., Oct. 14, 1872.—A painful ex- citement was caused this evening by the arrival of life boats bringing survivors from the steamer Lac 1s Bolle, of the Engleman Line, Captain H. W. Thompson, Clerk Sanderson, which sunk off this port last night. She loft AMilwaukee on Sundsy night with a cargo of pro- vigions. The story of her loss is told by two officers of the unfortunate steamer, who were inthe life-boats. . ‘Two of the five boats have arrived here, & boat commanded by the clerk, Sanderson, and one commanded by the second enginesr. The former boat hed seven persons in all onboard. The en- gineor's boat had ten of the crew, including first and second cooks and night-watchman, one pas- senger, and a boy, twelve persons in all. The Captain’s boat, nginlx is reported ar- rived in Milwaukes, had four persons aboard. She wns & very small boat. One of the other two boats, with ten pingle, 'was seen by the engineer’s boat making north toward Mil- waukee, Nr.

About midnight, when about, fwenty-five miles off Racine, sea running heavily, we ship- pod & hevy ges smidships, which put out fires 'and stopped engines. It was blowing hard from the north and when the vessel lost headway the wind swung her around and a heavy sea strained open seams through ‘which the water rushed with such force that in spite of all offorts of the crew, it gained rapidly upon us, and about 5:30 a. m., it becamo evident the steamer would go down. There wero five boats in all, two life-boats, the yuwl and two small boats. We got all the peo- ple into these boats, with the exception of five or six men who refused to leave the vessel, and :ivho, I think, wers drowned when she went low. . I bhad in myboat 7. persons, Peter Wetter, M.

They left DMilwaukee at 9 o'clock, last uight. About midnight the steamer Sprung aleak and made water rapidly. Thera were about twent -fiv;nsuuengem on board, includ- ing soven ladies three children.

Finding the steamer sottling fast, thay prepared to take to the life-boats, of ~hic) were five. were put, with good crew to manageit, Tho men werd, however, tired out, having worked all nifhb with nothing to eat, and sufering from cold. When the last boat left the steamer, I eaw five menleft on her. WWhen she went down, 8aw four of them In the water, one clinging to & iece of timber.

CLATI MATTERS. SEWARD. ‘The number of claims against ihe government consequent on the cost for property taken, dam- aged, and premises occupied, &c., is being con- tinually augmened, and although there were four commissions established to hear and adjudicate on, it will be several years before the list of the claimants will be finally erased. The British American claims, although the Commission to try them has been in ex- istence nearly two years, have mot heen re- duced much in numbers ; though there is & fair prospect that, on the return of the session of the Commissioners in the latter partof this month, a large number of the cases will be dis~ posed of. The Mexican and Spanish Claims Commission are unable to do much toward disposing of the ‘many cases on their books on account of a disa- groement having arisen among themselves, which will have to be settled through diplo- ‘matic channels, and by that course only. It is expected that both will be in running order in & ‘month or two, but not before that time. The Southern Claims Commissioners have dis- posed of several thousand claims of loyal South- erners, on which Congress, atits last session, finally passed as approved by the members of the Commisgion. 'Of those passed on the amounts are comparatively small, but in the re- maining cases, which the Commission are now engaged upon, the amounts are very large, and on that =account much testimony has to betsken. In a numberof the claims, the amounts are over $200,000 each, whilein one case it reaches to §300,000. The majority, how- ever, range about $30,000 .each. During the summer months, the Commissioners disposed of & number of small cases, which rest on docu~ mentary evidence. It will be two years, at least, befora_the Southern Claims Commission _ shall have concluded its work. b AREANSAS TROUBLES. s Advices received here to-dsy from Little Rock indicate the peaceful settlement of the disturb- ances in Pope County, which at one time thre ened civil war between the Clayton-Hadley Gov~ ernment and the people of the State in_general, The indignation of the whole county was turned on ‘the Clayton-Hadley band, and it is now stated that they have snesked out of "their scrape by employing Democrats to cone ciliate the people, and have dismissed Dodson, who will not run for office again. This disturb- ance hag made the unfortunate county bank- rupt, and & lawless malitia have eaten up the stock and provisions on every side and saddled $100,000 of debt on them. — The European Armies, From the Pall Mall Gazette., An article appeared lately in the Berlin Post showing that the military forces under the com- mand ofthe three Emperors who have just left the capital of Germany are considerably more than half of the whole forces of Europe, The effective of the Ruasian army, without including the garrison troogs orthe Cossacks of the Asiatic rovinces, q P would reach 1,362,464 men, with 760 horses, and 9,084 guns. The Austriam army is slaced at 969,051 men, with 132398 horses ond 1,424 guns; and the German effective i9 1,052,506 mhen, with '239,314 horses, snd 9,022 guns., These thrae together would thus com- Bose the enormous total of 8,378,021 men, 696,397 oraes, and 5,630 guns. This s’ taking the ar- mies on the old war footing ; but Germany hss already—in 1870-71—shown she could exceed the number stated as her effective by nearly 200,- 000 men. Now, let us take the forces of all the othor Earopean States together, and we do not find that they approach anythiug like the above total. Instead of nen:li?tbxee and & half mill- ions, they give only 3,143,516 men, and 820,357 Lorses, and 8,572 guns. The milifery forces of France on the war footing reach 505,537 men, with 113,939 horses and 984 guns. Ttaly has 501,977 men, with 43,472 horses, and 720 guns. England is placed at 70,779 men (of whom only 54,633 can be employed ont of the country), 33,643 horses, and 336 guns. Belginm, Holland Danmark. Tnxkerfz. ‘and Spain, can’ dialpose in all of 981,364 men, 199,304 horsés, and 1,582 guns. According, however, to the new military organi- zation to be adopted in France, the military forces of that power will be increaséd to 1,300,000 men, and 2,400 guns, without counting the sacond line of the reserve and the territori: army, which, in case of necessity, might raise the effective strength of the French forces to 8,000,000 men. Obviously, however, these last figures do not, at present at least, represent any real force, although the Berlin Post concludes from them thet France would be able, upon necessity, to sustain a conflict with acoalition of the three empires. Getting Out of 2 Dilemma, An actor by the name of Hind was remarkable for his gresem)e of mind and fertility of expedi- ents. One evening, while playing in some for- gouen melodrama, 'ho exteicated. himestt sy onor from an awkward dflficull’g. Ho repre- sented the hero of the piece, a hardened bri- gand, caught ot last, and awaited his doom in o sombrecell. One of his accomplices had con- trived to convey to him a rope ladderanda file. His business was to file throngh the bars of Lis prison_window, and attempt his escape through the opening, At the moment when he was getting out of the Wwindow, three soldiers had to rush on the stage, fire at him, and shoot him desd. Hind duly went, through his part ; but at the critical moment, infltnbdg of the ex- pocted fatal catastzophe, tho guns misged fire, he goldiers refreated in disorder, and imme- dintely returned with fresh muskets, which, nob being loaded, merely flashed in the pan. Hind’s position was becoming unpleasant. Snddenly ho foll upon the stago, uttering fear- fal cries, dragged Ponsatt o e foot-lights in apparent agony, and exclaimed: ‘ Mercifal heavens! I have swallowed the file!” Then, after well performed convulsions and another loud groun, he fell stark dead. The audience, who had began to murmur, were appeased by this improvised poetical justice. ~Tho new Congregational Clrarch at Peshtigo was dedicated on 5;1‘5“" evening, the 8th, tge mm:emur%;!
