THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDA VEMBER Py ¢ ¢ircles that a good' desl of cheating n the way of repeating ond colonizing was done by the Democrats. The Indianapolis mass meeting was the caver which masked the operation. The repeaters came into the State mostly at {hat time, and were distributed where they could do most good for “ Blue Jeans? and his ticket. They have gone home since then, and the 7th of November clection is likely to be an honest one in Indiana. We think thereis a «fighting chsuce™ for HAYES in the Hoosier State. The result will probably be very close. Perhaps neither party will come out ahead raore than 1,000 majority. We look for what is called anip and tuck race. Thisis the most confidential information we have at present. ————— The New York World is at the pains to demon- eirate that, in the event of Mr. TILDEN'S election, there will be nothing but the veto of au old-fash> joned State-rights Democrat to interpose between the National Treasary and the impetuous South, with its demande for indemnity for losses of prop- erty during the War.—Cincinnati Commercial. Suppose the “impetuous South ” should say 1o the aucient usufruet, * Unless we are indem- pifled for losses of property during the War we shall withdraw from the Union,” what would Tpex say? This is the boldest and bravest utterance he has ever made in reply to a threat of secession. - In his letter to Judge Kexr, Mr. ‘TILDEN said: framers of the C: i sraeeiaca Whet Tt Shoutd be dome e brcrosation icopinion of a State: left it with the power Lo smap the tie of confederation as a nation might break a treaty, and to repel coercion as a nation might repel invasion. Gen. HANCOCK’S name came before the St. Louis Convention as a candidate for President. It was presented by the delegates from a great State,—Pennsylvania,—but the *Solid South™ looked so coldly upon it that the ides of his nomination was frozen to desth. Suppose Haxcock had been nominated and elected President, 2nd the Confederates presented their demands for indemnity for Rebellion losses, and threatened to secede in case of adenialof payment on the part of the North, what answer would HANCOCK make them? He would tell them he believed in the constitutional authority of the Government to restrain and prevent any secession of States, and inthe right of coercion. He would warn them that he would fight. The consequence would be, no Rebel claims paid and no secession. But if 2 Democrat is elected, unfortunstely, it will not be anationalist, but a “State Sovereign- 5" advocate, who believes in the constitutional right of State secession. —— In o speech at Launder’s Hall a few evenings since, before s Democratic dlub, Prof. FREEMANX, of the University of Chicago, asserted that a majorityof theFaculty in that institution united with him in support of TILDEN. It will doubt- less be news to President ABERNATHY and Profs. Howe, Drxter, SrBARNS, Cor- peer, Cramg, and OusoN, seven of the twelve Professors in the Facuity, aod who will vote for Haves and WHEERL- ER, to know that they are supporters . of TILDEN. Nor is it by any means certain that the remaining Professors, all five of them, will vote for TILDEN. Tomake outhismajority Prof. FREEWAN may have counted the lady instruct- ors; but, in theabsence of evidence to the con- trary, the public will think better of them than to count them so. The Professor is at perfect liberty to speak for himself, but he will not re- foforce his political position by disingenuouns statements such ss that a majority of the Pro- fessors are with him for TILDEN when the con- trary is the fact. ——— The following is an extract from a private etter written by 2 gentleman formerly of Chi- cago, but now residing in the South, which may serve to show the stateof feeling existing in some places: 1 had 8 conversation a few dajs apo with one of the *“aborigines™ which convinced me that there are still a great many liebels in the South. This mun (a lawyer) etull contends for State_rights, and £ays the General Government has no right to inter- fere. There is a Methodist minister here who buasts that hie brings up his children to ** hate the “Yankees,'" and my own_children say that some of the ciiildren they meet in the street call them **Yapkees—Yankees. " ~ In the Third Senatorial District the TILDEN “Reformers" are running for the Legislature ENZENBACHER, SHERIDAN' (not Mamk), and Hickey. They arc a pretty tough lot of bum- mers, and to elect them will be no honor to the cty. One of them, if the court records can be rclied upon, ought to be in Joliet instead of Spriugfield this winter. Heis a sample of the Reformn the Tildenites have offered the people of Chicago. —— Gen. SEERMAN undoubtedly had SAMUEL J. TiLDEN in his mind when, in his confidential letter to Gen. HALLECK in September, 1863, he said: 1t any man, North or Sonth, withholds his share of taxcs or hie physical assistance in this, the cri- si< of our history, he snonld be deprived of all voice in the fature elections of this country, and miglt be banixhed or reduced 1o the condition of o meze denizen of the land.—From Sherman's Me- molrs, page 240, Mr. EERN hasa perfect legal rightto be a candidate for Sheriff, but Kxrx has not the moral right to ran as a “German candidate,” when he is' an American-Switzer. He fs no nearer beinga German than that his parents were Swiss. ——————— If KeRN persists in running for Sheriff as a forcieruer, let him sail under his true colors as a Swiss, and not pretend to be a German, which is a fraud on thiat nationality, as thefe isnot a drop ot German blood in his veins.

The emigrants were chiefly from Somth Carolips. They wore homespun clothes, and were heslthy-looking. The Bishop ‘was comfortably provided for inthe cabin of the bark Jasper, 395 tons burden, while his colored companions, thirty in number, were put awsy in the steerage. Among the many American ladies who have lately gone to England are Miss Reed, of Salt Lake City, and Miss Wheeler, of Concord, Mass. They have searched diligently, and have found no school equal 1o South Kensington, which they have en- tefed. Some changes have recently been made in the management of this institution. Prof. Poya~ -clties. ter becomes both Director and Principal. Under the'new order, the yonng ladies are permitted to have nude models. It is remarked upon asa sig- nificant circumstance, illustrating the comparative innocence of the sexes, that the young ladies at South Keneington shonld always have beenanxions for the privilege in question, and perfectly indif- ferent as to whether the models should be studied in mixed or scparate classes, whercas the masters have always shrank from it, and have only recent- 1y conquerca their delicate feelings on the subject. Prof. Haxley, in conversation with Mr. Conway, since his return fo England, expressed the fear that the Americans do not recognize some of their greatest men. There are Prof. Dans, for instance, and Prof. Marsh, and Leidy, of Philadelphia, who in England have long been in the front rank. yet the Centennial article in the North Americun Re- view on American Science hardly more than men- tioped them. Dr. Fraser, the English Bishop of Manchester, s broached the original idea of a missionary po- lice: In an address to the police officers of Man- chester recently, he said of discovering crime, but give some of your energy to preventing It by your personal influence.” The wisdom of thia advice cannot be disputed, but the pleture of 4 proselytizing police force suggestedlby the good Bishop 18 60 unlike the reality in Ameri- ca that it cannot fail to provoke a smile. “*Do mot think merely Mr. W.

Interesting Facts Gathered by a Tribune Representative. Seelng that an attack was made on that well- koown Chicago institution, the Victor Sewing- Machine Compsuy, by a city paperina recent issue, he representative of THE TRIBUNE yes- terday visited the Company's office at 381 West Madison street, to ascertain how much or how little trutn there wes in the article.

That four monthsafter I reached Muskegon, Mich., l.m\'lnf failed to make payment, the Company re- moved the machine from my house to the express office in Muskegon, giving me the privilege of tak- ing it up whenever I should beable. The ma- chine lay there nearly a year, I not be- ng_ able to_ ralse the monéy to finish paying forit. Iafterward moved to Chicago and called upon the Company, and they kindly gave me back the machine upon’ paying the balance, only ‘charging me $2.25, being the cost of packing aud shipping the machine by express to Chicsgo. They charged me not & farthing for interest on the long defcrred poyments. The machine has always worked satiefactorily and does all that the Com- pany clatm for if, and I was much earprised to read in last Sunday’s Zimes the statement purported to be made by me, withont my consent. ** P, Hamurn," ** No. 73 KaxsasSTREET, Ciicaao, I1i., Nov. 2. — To whom it may concern: Havinz seen an_arti- cle_in the Chicago Zimes of.Sunday. Oct, 29, in whicn my nome appears as having been defrauded by the Victor Sewing Machine Company in the pur- chase of one of their sewing machines, 1hercby, of my own accord, without any solicitation on their part, make the following statement: I have never ‘purchased any machine of the Victor Sewing Ma- chine-Company, or_their agent, and never had & Victor sewing machine in my possession. or had any business relations whatever with sald Company or their agent. I mever suthorized the use of my nsme in the article referred to in the Chicago Zimes, and said article so faras it refers to me is grossly false. To correct, as far as lay in my power, the false impression of the Times ar- ticle, I have of my own accord called at the office of the Zimes and asked them to retract sach portion of said article as referred to me. ** Vicroria Prver.™ Reporter—From these affidavits it would seem that the paper was misinformed as to the facts. Do you think it possible thatthe statcment sprung from jealousy on the part of your op- ponents at the unparalleled success of your machine in the city in the last two years? Mr. Riggs—From.facts that have come to my knowledge in the past few days I am inclined to think there is ground for such a charge, but pre- ferto believe not as long as it is possible to do 80, and rather attribute 1t to the hotheadedness of that class of individuals that cannot under- stand why the laws of trade cannot be revolu- tionized that they with impunity may pirate upon the property and funds of corporations. R.—What is the plan you employ in disposing of your machines? Mr. R.—Tt is the same as is employed by most other companies. Some are not doing it, how- ever, as they believe the profit to the compan will not justify the trouble and expense of col- Iecting in the manacer we are called upon to do. We let auy person having the appearance of honesty have & machine and make small month- 1y payments upon it, and 5o long a5 they mani- | fest a disposition of even trying to pay forit there is no trouble (as we have the reputation of being very lenient with those that though poor are honest), and never refuse to allow all that has been paid on 8 contract that we have for- feited for non-payment, even should the request nof. be made to us for over a year after the for- feiture; and in such cascs the party gets a new ‘machine iostead of the old which we recefved and which we had to dispose of a5 a second-hand R.~What about the misrepresentations of agents,—do vou never have any complaint? Mr. R—There may be somie real causes of complaint by some. Some parties claiming to nct as our agents may misrepresent, but it is impossible to control a large corps of men some of whom are what are termed prospect agents, that canvass from house to house in the interest. of no particular machine or business, and when they find a party that they can induce to trade or lease, give the name to the agent of what- ever company the party expresses a prefercunce for. Thes¢'men the Comum* never see, neither do they know their names. Then how can we control them? To prevent any chance for misrepresentation we huve printed in large bold letters in red ink across the face of our contract these words: “ Any contract made with any canvasser or agent differing in any respect from the terms of this lease will not be binding uvon the Victor Sewinz-Machine Company under any circum- stances.” Several days since I had an additional caution in large blue Jetters printed across the lease: “Donot sign this lease without reading it carcfully, and particularly the red printing.’” We never accept of a lease unless sigued by the party personally. If signed by a mark, we send somie one to interview the party promptly. I believe that we do more than any other business liouse in Chicazo or clsewhere to have our customers understand what they are doing. R—\Vhat_about promises of work? Do you furnish sewing to customers? Mr. R —Within the last month we have ar- ranged with a firn carrying on the manufacture of overalls, shirts, and other rough work,.to supply our customers with work ut current Imarket prices, to _assist them in paying on their contract. In_tbis way many can be supplied with a machine who would not be able to do so without.
