X: TUCKER, Bec. MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1876. At tho Now York Gold Exchange on Satur- dny tho prico of greenbacks was the highost recorded since July, 1874, namoly, 913 conts on the dollar in gold. England is not altogether without consola. tion for the failure of peace negotiations in the East. She has just shipped 15,000,000 cartridges to the Turkish Government. The bill amounts to about $375,000, and it is presumed tha oods were sent ¢. 0. d. The reception of Seuntor Buamne at Clove- land Bnturday evening was tho most impos- ing political demonstration in point of num- bers that ever occurred in that oity. Itis estimated that. over 20,000 people partici- pated, and it was noticed that in the monster torchlight procession a large number of solid bnsiness mon marched in line and carried o torch for tho first time in their lives. The Republicans confidontly count upon relegat- Ing Congreasmnn Parne to private life by o majority of 3,000 Jeer Davia hos been heard from in refer- 1ce to the Presidontial contest. He writes Irors London that e has groat hopes of the election of TiLven, whose elovation to the Presidency would be tho signal for a goneral rotarn to America of the Confederato oxiles now in England, who will all be on hand at the inangurstion, delighted to meet old *Irionds in Washington, Under the now and tmproved stato of things Davis himsolf would, ho says, roside permanently in Wash- ington, ready to teke such a position in the Democratio Adwministration as the Bolid South should demand for its formor chief- aiz, Ancther important defection from the tnks of the Indupendent-Girecubackera is apnounced in our Washington dispatches. Jol. A, B, Rcostoxe, who wes a delegato to sho Nationnl Greenbeck Convention at In. fiaunpolis end & wemwber of the National Exccutive Cowmmittee, approves of tho step " taken by Axsoy Worcorr in withdrwing from the canvass, and bag written o letter to tho soft-money Ropublicans of Indisna urg- ing them to leave off playing into the hands of the Democracy and give their united sup- port to Gen, Hannisox, the Republican cau- didate for Govornor, Col. REpsTONE'S ren- sons for advising this comse are identical with those which prompted Mr, Worcors's withdrawal,~n {inn conviction of the utter hopelosanoss of the Independent movemont in Indinun, aud a decided hnwillingnoss to nasist indirectly in bringing about the suc- cess of the trencherous Domoeracy. What time Gen, MoOresrax is buslly en- e gaged in Ohio making spoechces in behalf of i | ! his friend TiroeN and Reform, the Now York ZYmes givos to the world a scrsp of history in conncction with the moth-sxterminator contract, which was inquired into with in. different success by a Democratic Investi- gating Committoo last winter, The Z'%imes hes fornished some information which the Committeo fniled to develop, or at lenst to amako public, showing that in 1878 Gen, McCrentan recoived during four months something over §4,000 for his services in pushing the ' Cowwrxs & Dreaa moth- extorminator for use by the War Department in the preservation of army clothing. Gen. McOnewraxn, being at this time n privato citizen, nnd in no way connected with the army, had a perfect right to opernte as a lobbyist for army contraots, aud it is only on account of the effortsto cover up the matter that an appearance of crookedness is given to it. If everything about it was straight and legitimate, it is dif- ficult to uuderstaud why so much pains should be takon to convey tho falss jmpres- glon that the monoy paid to Gen. McOLRLLAX was in roward for his offorts to secura the introduction of the moth-oxterminator in ‘Europe, in the face of documentary evidence directly to tho contrary. In the intereat of Ieform it might be well for Gen, McCLrLLAN to explain the apparent partnership inthe lobbying busiuess between himself and his father-in-law, Inspector-General Manoy, and the profitabla relations they scem to have exjoyed with tho then Hecrotary of War, Gen, Beraxar. * The Chicago produce markets were gon- erally easler Saturdny, with a fair business in grain, ess pork: closod 56@100 per brl lower, at $10.60 for October and $15.00 gellorthe year.

The Colorndo papers of Thursday and Fri- dny are at hand, and fully confirm the presa reports that the State had been swopt by the Republicans. The vote of Denver City was s follows : Rovry, Rep., for Gavernor... Uvanes, Dem., for Governor., Repablican majority...... . 979 But onall tho other candidates the Ro- publican mnajority was from 500 to 650. The town called aftor Grrerey gave Rourr 230 majority. Two-thirds of the countles liad gone Republican, and the aggregate majority waa not lesa than 1,800, The Btate Benate consista of 20 mombers, of whom the Ito. publicans have eleoted 18, porhapa 19, The House consiata of 49 members, and the Ro- publicaus have elected 86 sure, by the re- turns published in the Denver pnpers of Thursday lsst. Thene rosulis, of course, se- ouro Havxs and Wazzrzn the threo Electoral votes of the State. And yel the more reck. loss of the Titprw papers keep gabbling about the Btate being still in doubt, and seold at the Associated Press sgent for not sending false roturns until after the election to-morrow in Indiaua and Ohio, THE MISTAEE OF THE SOUTH. Sectionalism waa one of the many griev- ous evils of slavery. The defonse of the po- culiar institation forced all the people living under its shadow into & political antagonism with all those who were not defenders of slavery. In this way the ** Solid Sounth ” be. came arrayed against the North, and event- ually forced tho country into opposing sec- tions, In the abolition of slavery ono of the hopos and expectations was that the causo of soctional parties having been removed, there- after the politics of the country would find partios divided upon some other than geo- graphical lincs. The War left the popul. tion of the Sonth divided politically. The whites, which were in the majority, were divided between the Republican and Opposi- tion parties, and the colorcd people, os a whole, were Republicans. A large body of the whites wera mnot Domocrats and had never bean Democrats, Slavery being abol- ished, theso non-Demoeratic whites were propared to unite upon various issues with any party in opposition to the Dem- ocratio party. For some yoars theso persons voted with the Republicans, snd the latter parly was in o majority in sevoral States. But the old Rebel spirit and tho old anti-negro preju- dices woro {oo strong, Maoual lnbor was pronounced degrading ; and the nogroes de- manded wages for Iabor which they had for ncontury rendered asa duty they owed to their owners. These nogroes could not be reduced to involuntary Inbor so long as thoy continued to be freemen, and acting with the political party in power. The business of coercion and terrorism was begun, and eventunlly tho whole white population, ex- copt a fow persons of Northorn birth, were forced into the white man's party., No white man could continus to act with the Tepublicans without becoming a social out- cnst, exclnded from commercial intercourso nnd treated as worso than a negro, Having forced tho whites into an almost unanimous hostility to the negro, the work of Lerrorism was then directed ngainst the negro fo forco him to abandon politics. Wherevor the Ite- publicans were in 8 mnjority, as in South Carolina and Mississippl, the white line in politiea was drawn by force. 'Tho pistol, the bowie-knife, shot-gun, and rifle, the lash, the torch, and tho bludgeon, wero brought into use, The murder and ussassination of ne- groes was made a popular pastimo, The ne- groos have been taught in all these Ro- publican States that the only safoty they can lhope for is to abstain from politics or voto the Domocratio ticket, This Jcsson has been improved by’ the rifio and the rope, negro familics Lave been subjected to miduight visitation, and to the murder of somo of the members, aud no negro is per- witted to spenk of politics under ponalty of being shot on the spot. Tho great end sought is tho establishment of n *¢ Solid Bouth"; to Lave the sixtcen Southern States united politically against the North; to have tho sixteen Bouthern States vote solidly as “the Bouth" in behalf of the Democratic party, aud, if successful with the aid of a fow Northern Blates, have the Government pass under tho political controlof the * Bolid Bouth, - ‘I'ho organization of sixtcen States iuto sectional party on tho sole issue of autagon- ism to the political freedom of tho nogroes, nand tho completion of that solidarity of the ex-glaveholding Btatos, by meany of murder and othor barbaritios that rival those prac. ticed by tho Lurks upon the Christians, is a revival of sectionaliem in s form mora re- pulsive than oven that which existed before the War. A “Solid South” invites and com- pels a solid North, and ont of such a division cf.lths people there can come mnothing but ovil, The suceessful gaining of the control of the Govormnent through tho voto of a Solid South, and by the use of violence upon tho wonker clnas of tho poople of that seotion, wrill be a ealamity to the South, It ean have but one outcome. It will arouse the whole American peoplo from the confidence in which they have welcomed back theso ex. Tobels, and will provoke such o storm {bat tho tomporary triumph of solid sectionalisn will be oxtremely shortlived; end in the res- cus of the Government from such hands tho rule of tho shot-gun in politics will bo effeotually extinguished forover, at whatover 100y bo the cost needed for that purpose. The defoat of TrLokN at the coming clec. tion will be a blessing to the Bouth, It will explode the policy of a Bolid South; it will teach those people that thelr material inter- ests, their peace and prosperity, rest in a cordinl afliation with the peoplo of the North, 'Tho North has its Dewocrats and ita TRepublicans, aud there is no attempt horo to extinguish eithor party by the shot-gun or the rifle, 'There are tems of thousands of persons of foreign: birth, comparative stran- gery, who are naturalized and added to our voting population annually, but no attempt is wade by violence, or by intimidation of any kind, to compel these to vote with any political party. 'The Bouth must learn that the Northeru peoplo never have, aud never will submit to have, elections decided by vio- lence, nor by cowpelling men to abstain from votiug, or voting & particular way, un- der the ponslty of being slnughtered by wholesale, That practice may prevail in Mexico and other Bpanish-American Btates, but can never be toleraled in the United States, and the obtaining possession of the Govornment by snch means would bo the denth-knell of the party or the section guilty of such an enormity sgainst the freedom of elactions, z Tho theory that no Ropublican party can Lo permitted to exist in the Southern Htatea becauso it is Batile to the lihorties of the peoplo, and that all persons offering or at- tompting to vote for Republicans rendor themsclves gabject Lo death, is one of thoso atroolties that oxcesd even the re-cstablish- ment of slavery., The citizen of Mississippl has the same right, moral and logal, to ba a TRepublican, to ndvoeate tho election of Re- publicans, and to vote for Ropublicans, that the citizon of Vermout hss to ba & Demo. crat, or a Ropubltcan, or 8 Greenbncker, or a momber of any othor party. The theory of a *Bolid South " reats upon the forcible prohibition and extermination of all oppo- sitlon to the White.Line supremnacy, and the olection of TiLpex, and the formal triumph of the White-Line supremacy, will make the Bouth o desort. It will annihilato freedom; will install violence in absolute power; will destroy labor, oxpel capital, and will re- duce theso Biates to the condition of the Mexican provincos ruled by ont- throats and aedventurers. Tho defent of Trmory will explode this theory. It will bring these people face to faco with the realities of their situstion. It will dis. entograto the Solid South, It will emanci- poto the froe whites as in North Carolins, and enablo them to divide on party lines as at the North, tho negroes taking sides nc- cording to their predilections, .and thus be. coming loat as a distinctive party. If the colored peoplo nre largely below the whites in cducation and general political intelli- gonce, that furnishes no reason for oxter- minating them, Thousands of persons ex- ercise the right of suffrags in all the Northorn States who are no more qualified intellectually for tho duty than are the blacks, but we do not hang them, nor shoot them, nor expel tHem from the polls, nor burn their houses, nor subject thelr wives and children to violence. Let the South eroct school-honges; tha moro deficiont the negroes are intollectnally, the grontor the necossity for echools. Thoy stand more in need of schools than the whites, and the safety of both races is to bo best promoted by elevating them in all that pertains to au intelligent exerciso of the du- ticn of citizenship. Let the whites overcome tho ignorance of tho blacks by educaling them, A small annual tax for schools will accomplish a political regeneration and on- lightenment more rapidly and more cffoot- ually than the shot-gun or the rovolver. The negro who votes from nn educated and intelligent consideration of his duty will provo o better, and wisor, and mora valuable citizen than the man who votes under the coercion of the rifle, or to eave his little family from outrage, The defeat of TrupEN will be a blessing to the South, beeause it will brenk up the poliey of force, and substi- tuto reason and justice. It will destroy sco- tionalism. It will oreato new partios, com.’ posod on both sides of whites and blacks. It will place the two races on bettor torms, Education in time will accomphsh much. Peace and security prevalling, migration to the South will take there now people with industrious habits, with enterprise and cap- ital, and the North and the South will attain a groater degres of homogeneity than can ever bo hoped for with a * Solid South " arrayed against a Solid North, aov, mnmznn&m's PROCLAMATION, Tho rapid and dangerous growth of the old Robel element in South Corolina haa at last resulted in s formal proclamation by Gov. CoaMpenramy, threatoning to call upon the Proesident for aid to preserve penco and ordor within the State if the Democratic Rifle Clubs aro not disbanded. The call is timely and imperntive. It las come none too soon. It must be enforced without fear or favor, The circumstances of the caso will ghow that it was inavitable, and that Gov. Coaxnertary has only fulfilled his simple duty in announcing his detormination to appenl to tho General Government to step in nud protect life and property. South OCarolina is virtuslly in a state of war. A powerful mob of ex-Rebel soldiers, ‘Whito-Liners, and Ku-Klux hes been organ- ized upon & military basis. It numbers 20,000 men under the general command of Bureen, the hero of the Hamburg massacre, and is subdivided into smaller companies called Rifle Clubs. Theso clubs are armed with guna and revolvers. They have been regularly officored and have daily drill. Daily roports are made by subordinates to their su- periors, In every rogard they aro a military organization, formed in direct dis- rogord of the ftnto statutes. The law is oxplicit on this point. It provides that ¢ there shall be no military organizations or formations for the purpose of arming, drill. ing, oxercising the manual of arms, or mili- tary maneuvres, not authorized under this chapter (as npart of tho National Guard) ond by the Commauder-in-Chief, and suy violations of the provisions of this gection shall, upon conviction, be punished with imprisonment at hard Inbor in the Stato Pon- itentiary for a term of not less than one year normore than throo years, at the discretion of the Court.” No one, unless he be a kneve or a fool, will contend that this mili- tary organization of ex-Iiebel soldiersisnota direct violation of the laws, and that these 20,000 Confedoratos desorve tho punishment provided by tha law. The immediate objoots of these Rifle Clubs may bo learned from thoir acta, There is a Republican mojority in the Btate of nearly 80,000, and to overcomo this majority these ox-Iobels have srmed and formed themselves into unlawfal military companies. ‘I'hey have been on the war-path for several woeks, mainly patrol- ling the strong Republican districts and maintaining fortified campa in wuch Repub- lcan citiea na Columbia and Charleston. The Columbia Union-Herald says : ** We see the Qity of Colombin ocoupied Ly arwed men, quartered at different points, courlors de- tailed to make reports, officers giving orders, and secret arrangoments made, without tho knowledge or sanction of the Mayorof the city or the Bheriff of the county,” 'I'oy avo ongaged in the constant work of terrifying and intimidating negroos, They are break- jug up Ropublican meotings at every point where thoy are announced. At Hamburg, Aiken, Ellenton, and numerous other places, thoy Lave killed and wounded many unarmed, defenseless Republicans, They bave driven negrocs from their homes who would not consent to joln Democratioc clubs or vote for TupeN., Théy have terrorized the courts so that the negro butchers cannot bo punished. Burzam, who shot down the Hampton prisoners in cold Dblood, has not yot beon tried bocause his mob las de- fled the courts to try hun. They have packed juries or intimidated them so that tho Denoarutic murderers cannot be indict- od. No 1man’s life or proporty is safe who dares to avow Republicsn sentiments. No law of the Btate can be enforced.

The orderly, law-abiding people of the Btate find them- dolves unable to protect themselves and poworlors to savo their persons or their property. In this emorgency they hava ap- poaled to the Governor of the State for help, and the Governor haa issued hia formnl proclamation, which seta forth the alarming Atatoment that **it has become impracticn. ble, in his jndgment, to tnforoe by the or- dinnry courso of judioinl process the lawa of the Stato within certain countios.” The civil anthorities being powerlesa in tho promises, he gives thosa Rifle Olnbsthreo days in which to disband, and, failing to do this, after ox- hansting his own powers, ho will call upon the Governmont of the United Btates, Gov. CoaMpRazaIN conld do no less under the cir- cumstances without failing to do his duty. ‘There ts no donbt of the unlawful charactor of theso organizations, Tlere is no doubt they are torrorizing the State and have com- mitted many mnrders, Thers s no doubt that the lives and property of a majority of the peoplo of Bouth Carolina are insecnre, and that they aro powerlass to protect them. Thoey have nppealed to the Biate Executive for belp, and he has replicd in tho only pos. sible way that waa loft for him. If the Robels fail to throw down their arms in the three daye granted them, and to conduct themselves as peacoable and law-abiding citi- zons, and if theBtatanuthoritics are powerless, then the United States must step in and dis. band and disarm the Rebels and protect tho people. Any othier course would bo a rocog- nition of an nct of rebellion ngainat the laws of Bouth Carolina, which forbid such or- ganizations, and of tho laws of the United States, which guarantea every man the right of o ocitizen, Let the work be done thor- oughly and promptly. BOLDIERS, At the rocont Indinnapolis gathering of so.called soldlers and sailors there were, undoubtedly, some Union soldlors who fought in the War of tho Rebellion, and went there as soldiors in behalf of Tmoes and Henpnices, To such men wo have n word to sny. In the first ploce, wo would commend to them the following extract from o publio speech, mado by Mr, Hayes in 18613 Judgo Marrnnws and I havo agreed to go inte the aervice for tho War,—If possible, Into the sama rogiment, 1spoke my feolings to him, which he wold wero his own, that this wasa Just and neces- sary War, and that It demanded the whole power of the country; thet X wonld preferto go inta it if 1 know 1 was to bo killed in tho course of it, rathor than to live through and after it withont taking part in it. As nn offset to this, wo take tho following extract from a speech made by Mr. Tinoen at the Tweddle Hall Convention in Albany, N. Y., in the samo year, as officially reported in the Albany Argus, his orgao : 1l argued strongly agalnat cosrcion, showlng the strength and resources of the Santhern Biates, and reasoning that self-Intorest, if no higher motives, sbould deter us from plunging Intoa clvil war that cannot fall to prove dlsastrous to us aaa nation, and to bring poverly and suffering on our own cltizens, He declared that he, for one, wonld resist, undor any and all circumatances, tho use of forco to coerco the South into the Unlon. We earncstly commend thess two oxtracta to the class of soldiors of whom we have ‘spokon, and, after rending them, we would nsk them the question, How they could neg- lect the bold, manly, patriotic utterances of the Republican General and go to Indiannpo- 118 a8 goldiers in the interests of the man who openly proolaimed that he would resist the use of force to coorce the South into the Union ; in other words, that he would rosist the Union army? We would ssk them, What did Mr, Taoey do by word or by deed in defonse of this country or in sympathy with the soldiers that ‘those who sorved in the army should enrol themsolves as soldiers ond veterans in Democratio clubs to glorify TiopN? What has Tipex dono for the soldier ? - Will some soldier toll us? If ho hna done nothing for the soldier, did they go to Indinnapolis to signify that fact? Did they go there to mnke a public acknowl- edgement of their error? Did they go there to ask pardon for having beon soldiors, and having coerced the Bouth into the Union? We will put upon record for the sake of theso soldiors 8 fow faots bearing upon the rolations of TILDEN to the soldiers, Ex-Gov. Unpenwoop, of Vermont, who has known TupeN for twenty year, recently said in a spoech ¢ 1 heard him declare, in conversation with myselt nenr tho close of the War, that cvery manof the United States army that marched across Southern noll was a trospasser, and liable to mult for dam- Ages tn an nction for trespuss! I msked him if Lo undertoox to talk such treason as that, and If it was his opinlon, as a lawvor, that this Govern- ment conld enllst men, put arma in their hand and send them to the protection of the Qovern- ent againat Nobele, and then furnish tribunale to try its own soldlers as trospassers—and he sald it was, Was it for the abova renson that theso soldiers went to Indianapolis? Mr, Daxien P. Jones, an agent of the United Btates Ohristian Commission during the War, made the followingstatement under onth: & During the time when the United States Christlan Commu)sslon waa in exlstence, and about Soptember 0f 1803, whoso misslon it was to furnlab supplice of provisions and medlcine to the slck and wound- eo soldicrs (I then holding an appointment undoer sald Commisslon), Mr. Samuxu J, TILDEN was A WORD TO DEMOCRA’ walted on by me and solicited to ald, when ' tho puld 8, J, TrupeN made in subatanco tho fol- Jowing reply: **Iwould rather sce all the soldfors starve 10 death thon to give them one cent;* and the sald 8, J, Trunen did not contribute. Was it for tho ubove ronson that theso soldiors went to Indisnapolis? The Rov, E.

The nominn- tion of TiLpEN Was an insult to the memory of overy soldier who died in the South, as it is an insult to tho patriotism and conrnge of every Northern soldier who has gurvived the ‘War, 5 THE WESTWARD MARCH OF PARIC. Tho finsncial crista has boen communioated along with the other disenses of civilization to the barbarian world, and is now plsguing the Asiatics. The most dolorous nccounts como by overy mail from India and China of {ha condition of business and finnuces, This is o most intorosting spectacle. In antiquity thero were no panics, and China and India aro autiquity preserved in a social potrifac. tion to tho present dsy. ~ For a panio to rage through the commereial world of the Orient is as unnatural and untimely as the smali- pox that the highly-clvilized Caucas- ian carries with him into new lands to obliterate tho savages who can- not bo tamed. It is ono of the fond dreams of English philosophers that the mysterious principle of progress that has formented till now only the Euaropean and American leaven is to bo communicated through England’s Indian Empire to the swarming and non.progressive millions of Asin. Tho Englishmen have succeeded to perfeotion in reproducing the phonomena of pavics. So for as this goes, it gives o sci- entifio basia to the hope that the commu. nity of origin that Beionco has demonstrated to exist between tho peoplo of Indin and Eu- rope may make practicable the introduction thero of now methods of thought, life, busi. ness, and socioty that have come among other primitive peoples only to destroy thom, The present fonture most widely diffused and most common to alt civilized communi- ties is commercial depression,—hard times, crises,—and Asin haa it as bad as any. The Rangoon correspondent of the London Times draws o most gloomy picture of the atate of affairs in that province. Blank deapair per- vades the Empire, Nativae and forcign mer- chants find the profit of their occupation gono. In China nearly every mail brings news of a similar depression. The fluctua- tion of the price of silver has disturbed busi. nesa all through Asia, but, after all, that is only tho osacillation of a medium, sud business accommodates itself to those changes much more readily and perfectly than is popularly supposed. Tho real trouble in Asin jsthat the Eurnpeans who dominato in India and trade in China, have brought with them their methods, and their mothods have brought with them the usuat periodical rosult of panic, to say noth- ing of the sympathetic offccts of the depres- sion inthe Westorn World. The Hindoos show great aptitude in putting on European fashions, and tho native merchants and bankers of Calcutta and Bombay are in as much troublo a8 any of their Enropean pro- totypes. 'This must bo tho last wave of the panic. ‘The tido that first turned in Aus- tris ond Germany, and then swopt .through England and tho United States, and has now renched India and China, must have spent its forco. This is the final eddy. The ebb is changing to flood already in this country, whose conditions are such that ita recovery must come first. It is to bo hoped that tho Asintic, after sharing the bad times of the Oaucasian, will participate in this chango for the better, and it can do no harm to remark incidentally that the goographical distribution of the panie, which has encircled the world, makes up-hill work of the argu- ment that the party in power in this country has created the crisis that is now disappear- ing. For many years Indinnapolis was a strong Republican city, giving ns high as threo to four thousand majority during tho War, Be- ginning in 1871.'2 the party became torn by faction fights, and divided upon side issnes, and at last allowed the city to be captured on a temperance and greenback issue by the Democrats. After the peoplo had tried Dem- ocratio rule for two or threo *years thoy be- camo cxceedingly tired of it, and like their brethron in this city becamo impationt to shake it off, Last spring they healed up their quarrels, laid aside their prohibition and greenback side issues, snd united in solid phalanx to overthrow the Domocratio ‘bummar rale which was plundering and dis. gracing the Capitaljof the State, The con. test waos sharp, hot, and decisive. The Democrats belng in power had con- trol of the Common Council,. Mayor, police, and polling-places; but the Ropublican Vigilance Committoos pro- tected tho ballot-boxes, prevented repeating and stufiing, seourod an honest eleotion, and, as a rosult, won o splendid viotory, rolling up n mojority of 4,314 on atotal vote of nenrly 17,000, The vote to-morrow will probably reach botween 18,000 and 20,000, aa the city contains over 100,000 inhabitants. Each side is doing its bost, and no logal vote will remain unpolled. If thore is a fair elec- tion and no ropesting, or ballot-box stuff- ing, or fan-tail-ticket tricks practiced, the Republican majority will probably be somo- where betwoen 5,000 and 6,000, or 1,000 largor than that given last spring, There scems to be some apprehonsion of fighting botween tha Irish and the negroes. ‘The former last spring, during the election riots, with tha assistauce of the police, killed sevorsl of thoRepublican blacks and wounded o large number, A very bitter feoling has exiatod thoro botwoon tho races ever since, and jt will require oool and careful handling to prevont a re.unnotment of shmilar bloody soenes to-morrow : but we think the present police arrangements will keep the Colts and Africans from coming into collision, and in. sure a peaceful election. Yeaterday's Times had anothor dismal groan over what tho able editor believes to be the imponding defeat of his party in Indipna to-moxrow. The tone of the article is distracting and almost heart-rending, In casting about for oxouses, the able editor hits on hypothetical * fraud aud violence which he declares the terrible Republicans intend to practice against the timid, fesrful Democratio goslings. *“‘The voting.places are to be soized,” says the sblo but scared editor, and the innocent Democratio Irish lambs are to be asrested or driven from the | polls by clouds of ferocious and bloodthirsty Republican negross! The very ablo but ox- cessively domornlized editor of the Zimes draws this fearful pleture of tho exlsting stats of things in Indisnapolis at last nd- vices from Witxie: The local polico in Indlanapolls Tias been rein- forced by battallon of negroes, doubiless {m- ported from Kentucky, and mustered into the servico for the purposa of making thelr oMclal charactor n cover for frandulent voting.
