A Democratic Congressman Elceted in the Fourth Distriet. How the Liberal Cause Is Progress= ing in Wisconsin. Letter from Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees. LETTER FROM HON. D. W. VOORHEES. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, ‘WasazNaToN, D. C. Oct. 16.—A letter received in this city to-day from Mr. Voorhees, dated at Terre Haute, Oct. 14, says that he does not re- gret his defeat for Congress, but is glad to be remitted to the practice of his profession, -whick is more congenial and lucrativo. As to the cause of his defeat, Mr. Voorhees says he fore- seen it when he eeid that the Democrats could not organize in the short time given them before the election, and that it was simply o stay-at- home vote in his party that beat him, and hurt the canse everywhere. Nobody thought there was & Yosaibility of his defent, and over-confi- dence led hundreds to _stay awny from the polls. He vrites, a8 follows, in rogard to the Liberal movement : ‘A word or iwo now about the movement, itself. Itisright in its principles and objectsa—n movoment destined to restore self-government to the people of the South, and to_rolicve them from thieves and pirates, to bring about general amnesty, peaco, and recon- ciliation between the sections, to purify the departments of the Government, now- infested by a plundering ring engaged in the civil service of the country. A ‘movement, 1 eay, contemplating such results as these, can- not fail to elicit my zealous and unfaltering sup- port. The only misteke our friends made was in supposing that the prejudices of the mesees of the Democratic party, of thirty-five yeara standing, against Mr. Greeley, could be entirel, overcome in a brief canvaes of sixty days. I takes more time than this to work such a change in the minds of honest, slow-thinking people. I thought go when I tried to prevent the nomi- nation” of * Mr. Groeley, and now - I know - it wss right. I have en- tire * respect for this element in our party, and in timo it will harmonize with the canse in which we aro engaged; butit takes more timo than wos given in this movement. Allow me to saya word on another point. Mr. Greoley has personally raised himself 5 thonsand fold in mX estimation. His course has been_all that could be desired, and I believe he would, if elected, bo porfectly truo to the principles he has 80 grandly proclaimed in his unrivalled addresses to the public. I shall votefor him in November,* ot only unhesitatingly but with ploasute,ss & man who has established his claims to my admi. ration, notwithstanding my previous prejuc —_— = DEVELOPMENTS ~ CONCERNING ELECTION FRAUDS IN PHILADELPHIA.

The Court Houso was crowded early in the even- ing, and Governor Bross spoke for{ two hours, and was frequently applauded. He'was followed by Hon. D. W. Hanna, of Torro Haute, in & ringing speech. $ 0 election in Indiana has convinced the few Bourbons in this vicinity of the utter hopeless- nees of their cause, and they have all detor- mined to vote for Greeley. The Liberals and Democrats in this part of the Btateare not dis- sed to give up the contest by! any means. oy s il Lave strong hopes that with hard work the State may be carried for Keerner and Greeley. / APPOINTMENTS OF LIBERAL &PEAKERS IN ILLINOIS, Special Despatch fo "Te Chicago Tribune, - SpRINGFIELD, IlL, Oct. 16.—Governor Palmer will address the people at Louisville, Clay Cona- ty, Illinois, on Thursday afternoon, Oct. 24 ; and at Fairfield, Illinois, on Friday afternoon, Oct. 25, Senator Trumbull speaks at Cairo on next Saturday; at Marion, Williamson County, Illi- nois, on next Ionday; at Belloville, Illinois, on ‘Wednesday, the 23d, and at Carligville, Thurs- day, Oct. 24, 4 '%he Liberal canse in Nlinois is in =2 splendid condition, and our cemp fires ‘burn brighter every day. ' SOUTH CAROLINA STATE ELECTION Coruaeia, Oct; 16.—In the State elections to- day, for Governor, State_officers, and fivo_Con- egsmen, the only decided opposition offered 5' the Democrats was in the southern district, ‘where Hon. B. F. Perry, ex-Provisional Gover- nor under Johnson's administration, was nom- inated for Congress. Itis thought thathe is elected, defeating Wallace, the present repre- sentative. It. is generally conceded that the Regular Republican State ticket, with Moses for Governor, is elected, defeating what is known as " the Bolters’ ticket, with Tomlinson as candidate for Governor. CraRLESTON, 8. C., Oct. 16.—Everything pase- ed off quiet at the elections to-day. No conclu-~ sive returng aro in, but tho probabilitios ate that Moses and the regular Republican ticket.are elected by & largo majority. A CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS. LoweLy, Muss., Oct, 16.—The Democrats and Liberals of the Seventh District to-day nomina- ted John K. Tarbox, of Lewrence, for Congress, and Geo. Stevens, of Lowell, was nominated for tho short Congressional ferm. Hartrorp, Conn., Oct. 16.—The Democratic and Liberal Committee of this city wdnfifl nominated W. W. Eaton for Congress, to the unoxpired torm of 8. L. Strong, deceased. The Republican Convention meots to-morrow, and General J. B. Hawloy will probably be nom: inated. BosTox, Oct. 16.—General Builer was renomi- | ated for_Congress by the Republicans of the Bixth Massachusetts District, to-dsy. The Democrats and Liberals in the same district have nominated Charles P. Thompson for Con- gress. . 81, Louss, Oct. 16.—Eragtus Wells and W. H. Btone have been nominated as the Democratic candidates for Congress respectively in the Second and Third Missouri Din{n'cta. ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF LIBERALS AND DEMOCRATS AT INDIANAPOLIS--THE RE- TURNS YET INCOMPLETE, Special Despateh to The Chicago Tyfbune, Inpravarowts, Ind., Oct. 16.—The Democrats and Liberal Republicans held a magnificent meeting at the Academy of Music to-night. The house was crowded. = Speeches were made by Governor Hendricks, the Hon. G. W. Julian, General Manson, Judge Gooding, end Dr. White, of New York. Tho enthusiasm wes very great, and a_dotermination. evinced to go nto the coming election with colors fiying and presenting an unbroken front. Inthe conrse of his remarks, Mr. Hondricks seid: “T wish to refer to one fact. Ihave beep for many years, conspicuous in the politics of tho Stato, but never experionced such bitter attacks se in_ tho present campaign. For my public acts I askno cover; but private af- foirs, for contcmptible purposes, had" been brought into question, without reforance to the trutl. But their aitacks ndded to the votes I received. There is & sentiment of fair play and justice,in the minds of tho people which -inducos them to dofend a man when unjustly asssiled. A little moré effort would have olected both the Congressmen-at- Ln.rfie and the whole State ticket. The vote of the Republicans in the election just closed was in favor of reform.,” He was gratified to ex- pross Lis obligations for their support, and also gratified to know that the Democrats stood side by eide with Liberal Republicans in fayor of reform and good government. He regretted that there isa single man in the Democratic party - that received Grant money, and, in retwn for it, struck a blow against the law. i They will hereafter be rejected by the Demo- crats, and neglected by tho Republicans, eg unfit to be trusted. Indiana can bo comnted for Greeley and Brown if we work vigorously. Ther is not a eingle man in Indiana but knows that thero is occasion for reform. It is said that the fight between the boys in blue and the boys in gray is still going on, but I dispute it in toto. The war ‘ended seven years ago, and 1872 should be a year of jubiles, general rejoic- ing, and gladness. = I ask the soldior to moke his ballot mean just what his bullet meant,—not to make desolation, but that the legitimate authority of the country might be re- stored, and our Republic continue s united na- tion. Let the hatred which separates the North and South pass away, and we shall .be_brothers sgain 88 in doys of old.” Mr. Hendricks, in closing, &aid that the Grantites Diad expended all their money and could not get any moroe to import votes with, and, with Bmper organization and diligence on the part of Demo- crats and Liberal Republicans the State can be carried for Mr. Greeley by 5,000 to 10,000 ma~ jority. The official returna of the State election are yet incomplete. The result will be but little different from the figures already published. THE LIBERAL CAUSE IN WISCONSIN. WRITEWATES, Wis., Oct. 14, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Bm: The October elections have not, in the least, disturbed the equanimity of mind of the Wisconsin Liberals. Every manis “in line,” and ready for the contest. The redemption of Indiana from the Executive control of the domi- nant party is, indeed, a great triumph for the Liberal caus The irreproachable character, minent abilities, and pure patriotism of T.A. Hendricks, the Governor elect, givo sure guar- antee that for the next four years, the Hoosier Btato will be vouchsafed good and honest gov- ernment, 80 far. “as the Execu- tive il be enabled o spscure - if, Hig election 1is, indecd, the . first sub- -stantial victory wlnch hea been achieved in the Northwest over the Washis “Ring " and its nefarious schemes. This grond result. has 'in- Epixcd tho Liberal forces with courage and zeal. The result in Pennsylvania is a victory of the Grantites, of which they féel heartily ashamed, knowing the same to have been securcd by the most infamous frauds ever concocted. The Lib- erals are not in the least dispirited over that result, while several in this vicinity who bave Leretofore acted with the Grantitos ‘declare that they will no longer sustain & party ®which has proven itself 8o uttorly lacking in evéry eloment 80 essontial to good government. Allow us to assure our Liberal friends in othrr States that Wisconsin will do “her whole duty in November. We huve visited over, 200 towns eince the Baltimore Convention, and haye found thet there are from ten to thirty, and, in some instances, 08 many as 100 Republicans who will support Greoloy ; while the defection of Demo- cratic voters is infintisimal. The German Re- publicans cleim 9,000 voters in this State, and Eive us tho assuranoce that seven-eighths of this class of voters will cast their votes for the Lib~ cral ticket. - If this be go, the State will most as- suredly be carried for the Reform tickot. From various parts of the State, we receive the most encouraging news. The Grantites aro relying upon the prestiga of former successes, sather than excessive labor, fo carry them through. In short, thereis no enthusiasm for theirticket. The charges of_corruption upon the reigning ginnst thoy know to be true, even if not admitt them, and, as a consequence, the ticket drags Deavily. ‘The Liberals will elect four of the eight Con- gressmen, and possibly one more. Nr. Mitchell will be re-elected from the Milwankee District Dy at least 10,000 majority, while Eldridge will beag 'his compotitor anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000 votes. The Legislative ticket will be close in the Stato; but the chances are decidedly favorable to the Liberals. A gain of eleven Assemblymen will give us the control of the Lower Branch; and, of this number, the four Counties of Mil- waukes, Waukesha, Dodge, and Jefferson alone will furnish a gain of ten. A gain of six Sena- tors will give us the control of the Higher Legis- lative Branch; and these, it is believed, can be secured. Allin'all, the skies look bright in Wisconsin,, Let no Liberal feel the slightest discouragement. Let us advance our whole line upon the enemy, and, with the watch-words of Reconciliation and Reform, victory will perch upon the banners l{orém by the Liberal army in the November %:n- est. 3 A DEBATABLE QUESTION. Prr1ssuncH, Penn., Oct. 16.—The Gazetle will contain an editorial {0-morrow morning arguing that the recent amendment to the Sixth Section of the Sixth Article of the Constitution of the State of Pennsylvania takes the election of State Treasurer out of tho hands of the Legislature and remands it to the the people, that as somo time must be consumed in developing the details of the law bearing on the subject, the election will be remanded to the people at the general election next year. Under this view Hon. Bio Mackey, the present incumbent, will hold over. The guestion will no doubt excife animato discussion, it being one of considerable importance. DEMOCRATIC CQNVCE’;:'I;ON AT coLumsus, i0. Coruamus, 0., Oct. 16.—The Democratic State Central Committeo met Liere to-day, with prom- inent Democrats from all parts of Ohio tocon- sult relative to the political situation.

IMPORTANT CLADM BEFORE THE SOUTHERN CLAIME COALMISSION. = WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—An important claim wag partly heard to-day by the Sonthern Claims Com- mission. The claimant is Mrs. Anna M. Fitz- hugh, of Fairfax County, Va. Her farm was occupied slternately by tho Confederate and Federal forcos, but sho having & letter from Generel Winfield Scott, asking the army officers, s & personal favor to him, not to destroy her property, neither side did so. Tho husband of the claimant was General Wm. Fitzhugh, for ‘many years a State Scnator of Vir- ginia, " who, shorfly bofore the war, liberated all of .his slaves, and provided for their colonization in Liberia. Quite & number of wii- nessés ere examined to prove the loyalty of Mrs. Fitzhugh, although she has the order given her by Colonel Green, then Chief of the Quar- termaster'’s Department, who was also present during the honring to-day, stating that the Gov- eroment nceded the wood on har farm, and intended to immedintely cut it. The witnesses testifed that on 2,000 acrcs ef ~her farm fifty cords - per acte were cut. The Government’s price for standing timber at the time was $1 percord. The claim is for 8375,000, which is the largast in amount that has yetbeen filed bafore the Commission. The Commisgioners intimated that they had & certain witness in rebattal that they would examine, and, as the counsel for the claimant have not concluded their case, anothex hearing will be granted. it - OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO. In view of the fact that a considerable portion of the forthcoming message of tha President will relate to Mexican affairs, and that; the Ad- ministration propose a positive policy-in that die rection if the facts justify, it has rmade the hesdquarters of the Mexican Legation a |xeeorz of some importanco hera™-of late. ‘The Brownsville Commission, appointed un- der an act of Congress - last * winter, to investigate the crimes of the lawlessness on the Rio Grande, have made their report to the ‘Btate Department, and it is understood that it ‘deals severely with the negligence of the Mexi- cen Government to punish outrages:in that quarter, or protect the lives and’ property of American citizens. Bat the Mexican.Govern- ment does not propose to let this investigation into these disorders be ' a one-sided affiir. It has also sppointed o commidgion to take,counter evidence as to the, cause of these disturbancés, with' instruc- tjons to report as speedily as possible, and at all events before the- assembling of the American Congress. The Mexicans chargs the border dif- ficulties to that condition’ of society on both sides where the law is not respected, and where the strong, imespective of neotionality, prey upon the weak in the same careless defiance. They propose to charge that so far as the report of the American. Commissioners is concerned, and which is now in possession of our Government, thst it is made simply in the ~ interests of speculators, and that other consid- erations besides motives of public policy in- fluenced the American Commissioners in msk- ing their statements so entirely one-sided. It is stated that Mexico also proposes to be firm in this matter, and, although relatively weak, will not submit to any exorhbitant claims fcr damages, especially upon ez pariestatements of facts. Asa compromise, and with a-view to placing the case fairlyin the may of Interne- tional treatment, the Mexican Government will agreo to s special convention having power to make & treaty with regard to the country in- fested with the alleged ontrages. Mr. Nelson, the Mexican Minister resident, is now on hie way to this city, charged with the special mis gion of arranging this Convention. The legation here also claims that varioms misrepresentations have been mede frcm time to time with regard to the harmonjous workings of the Mexican American-Claim Commission, now in session here. Among other things it has been stated that the desth of Franz Licber, Esq., of this Commission, caused & desd lock. This is especially denied. The Mexican representatives state that there is no dissgreement, nor'is there any cause for any. The removal of Guzman, the Mexican umpire, has only the’ signifi- cance that he was recallld by his Government simply to present the good will of the American Government, and o setilo all international difficulties amicably. ~The inter- national difficulties of Mexico are so greatthat the Government there, above all things; desires harmony in its American diplomatic relations. It was announced -by.the Mexican Charge &' Affoirs -to-dsy .that .Joso- Matia Tglesias, late Minister of Justice at the (City of Mexico, . snd one of tho most promi- nent and upright citizens of his-country, had been appointed to succeed Guzman, 80 that, in future, everything is expected to go on smootk- ly in the Commission. According to the Con-~ ‘vention under which this Commission came into existence, there can hardly bo a posesibility for Qisagreament over contestod claims. - In the cadd of the failure of the two Governments to agree upon one umpire, eace is empowered to gelect its own umpire, and the cases upon which disagreements arise are settled by lot. - 2 SCULPTURE.
