Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune, Inptanarons, Ind., Aug. 18.—Tnis lias been arather eventful Sunday for even as livelyn place ns Indianapolis, and morning and after- noon the streets were crowded to witness the narade of two processions of widely different characteristics, ‘To-dav bas long becu set apart 83 the occasion of a Labor-Communistic demon- stration that should strike terror to the hearts of bloated capitalls nd lecherous boudhold- crs. For wecks the agitators have been drum- ming up an Interest in the affalr among the ‘Trades-Unlons and workivgmen gencral- 1y. Reports of & mooster turn- out were circulated, and the public be- gan to realty belleve that something would come of it. To assist in providing men- tal pabulum for the crowd, thu most shining lizhts in the Commuaistic ranks were imported, the chicf attraction bemg Dents Kearney, the great California agitator. The others were A. R. Parsons, of Chicago; J. P, McUuire, of Con- neeticut; P, Van Patten and Peter R. Clark (the latter colored), of Cincinnatl; and W. C. Haloes, of Newport, Ky. TIHE GREAT LIGHT shed bis brilliaucy Jost night>before 1,000 or 1,600 veople, “but his specch -fott—on dull cars, and wos not applauded by a dozen persons. It was not long, Kearncy excusiug himself on the ground of fatigue. Tha demonstration tolay was ar- ranged to form five divisfons, but, when the timo camno to march, 8 miserable Jittle crowd of sixty-clght persous, by actual count, etarted to the grove, where the speaking was done. This included the colored band and several children. The Iarger part of the prucession was cowposed ,of German Soclalists, thore uot belug above tweaty Americans in the ranks. The red flag was borue at the head alongside of the Htars and Stripes, and AMONG TUE MOTTOES wero the following: *We demand the morsl right to labor, and the legal right to the prod- ucts ot our lavor "} “Tho earth fs man's, and the fulluess thereof M3 % The abolitlon of tho contraci svatem 5 * Production belongs to tl producer™; +‘Tha tools belong to the totier ' * No rluhts withiout datles: no duties without rights 3 *No masters, no_slaves 3 + No rich, 10 poor M3 * We demamd that the meons of | bor shall bolong to the people '*; ¢ Liberty, fra- teruity, cquality.’ At the grove, even late as 3 o'clock, there were uot to exceed B0 peo- plo on the ground. A more complete farce b would be diflicult to hmagine, and that it was so reflectathe greatest credit upon the workingmen of Indiauapolls, wno studtously frnored it. To everybody, except vossibly the few managers, it was u surprise, fur the” Interested ones had kept up such u nolse of preparation that it was povularly supposed the deuionstration would be #t Jeust respectable fn numbers, ‘The afternvon was spent fu apeaking and drinking, aud about & u'clock the uiceting broke up in o general row, causcd by the attembts of a fellow named Bt, Clair to haul down the red fag, Nobody wus hurt, and no arrests were made.

Spectal Correspondence of The Tribune, BELMA, Ala, Aug, 6.—~The Democrats of this Btate weut through the furan of a general elec- tiou yesterday, aud it was thy most wagniticent farco that this country has ever witnesaed. ‘Tnere was no oppusition to the Democratic ticket for Btate officfals. Not that there wre bot many good citizens who opposa the pure voses, principles (1), and Jeaders of the Demue- racy in Alabams; but there are few citizenswho arc witliug to eacounter the persecutions and aril ostraciam which follow oppesitiou fo & pub- Ve manver to the Bourbon Democracy. Haviuz selzed possession of the ¥tate Giovernment and ll the machivery of “electiou, the Democratic managers proceeded to strougthen their power by asystem of partisan legisiation which has oo parallel fn tae listory of this country. In the first Dplace, after forcibly seizing control of tue Htats Goveroment, the Denio- cratie inansgers procecded to ousy every Repuo- Mean otficial whow they believed to be fu thelr way; aod, having doue this, tney went 10 work to destroy ths libersl snd progressive Constitu- tion adopted under the susplces of the Reoub- lcun party fu 197, Todo tbiss Democratic Lugislature two years ago was forced to pass certaln avts oustlug s wuwber of Republican otliciala lo varlous portions of the Btate, sud they succceded so well that withlu the sbort space of onu yesr 8 Républican wajority of over 10,000 biad beeu alwost snumhilated; sud vut vt two-thirds of the county officials who were Re- publicane, not a dozea are left to tell the tale. Then followed A BO-CALLED CONSTITUTIONAL, CONVENTION,— 8 body which had to violate some of the most sacred constitutional provisions In order to as- scmble. But the Bourbon managera hesitated at no obstacle of that sort: they were deter- mined to wips outat all hnzarda cvery vestize of Republiean government tn Alabamn; and, having concoeted the schemo of destroying the Republican progeessive Constitution, they hesi- tated at no vlolatlon of law fn accomplishing thelr purposes. They destroyed that Constitu- tlon anud forced onc of thelr owwnupon the peo- vle of this Btate. Under thelr own partisan and fliberal Constitution the olection of yeater- day was licld; and not a single vote was cast In Alabama agalnet the Democratic Siate ticket. Republicans raw long ago that it was uscless to oppose a party which scrupletl at no violations of law in nccomplishing ita atms, and which did ot hesitate to commit wanton murder rather than submit to defeat, Under an act of & Democratic Legislature, the whole machinery of clection in Republican counties was placed In the hands of n Hevente Board composed of five partlan Democrats, appolnted Uy a portisan Governor. In all the large Re- publican countles of the State, composing what Is known as THE ** BLACK RELT,” of which this county (Dallas) is about the cen- tre, these partisan Revenue Boards attempted to destrov the Republican vote entirely by changing the varfous beat-lines, abollshing the wld polling-places, and Instituting various new ones in out-of-the-way places, and by a system ol registration which . was not suiliciently tnade known to tho people so that they could regis- ter before the day ot clection, In this county, with {ta 6,000 Republican majority, and in the County of Montgomery, our near neighbor, with its 4,500 Republican majority, the colored voters were absvlutely swindied to such an ex- tent that tho Democratic managers are themselves ashamed of thelr own work. The Democratic majoritics in these two counttes, an returned by the partisan Democratic election managers, arc absolutely more in each county than the whole Democeratle vore; and the Bour- bon schemers aro nlarmed at the mnagmticent proportions of thelr frauds. In order to swin- dle and cieat tho rolored Republican voters, the partsan Demucratic Revenuo Board abol- ished s torge number of polliug-places for the sole purpose of awindling colured voters. Heretofore fn this city and In the City of Mont- wmurf. there had been from six to elght puli- ing, places, and this number scarcely afforded au opportunity for every voter to cast his bal- lot, ~As soun as the Bourbons sccurcd control of the election machinery, they went to work 1o estubllsh on Electlon law which would always caable them to count omt cnough Ie- publican votes = to return thelr own defeated candidate as clecteds and, un- der this monstrous low, all the polling- laces, with Lwo cxcepilons, were abolished, The polls were so arranged as to allos the white voters to nJJprnncml ballot-bux througn ane avenus and the colored voters through another. As therc ure Lut few white voters, they were cnabled quickly to gnub!l& all their batfots. But the colored voters were so hamis pered and harassed that, when the polls were closed yesterday, OVER PIVE THOUSASD REFUBLICAN VOTRIS (ont of the 0,0%)) of this county remained about tlie polis, swindied of the richt to vute. When calored voters approached the ballot-box to de- poslt thelr votes, there stood crowds of Demno- cratic challengers nbout the way to delay the voting by foolish auestioning, = Thess clsl- lengrers would stop every colored voter who had a Republicnn ticket in his hands, and ask it ho was registered; when Dl wame wus found all rght on tho registration list, ho was met with the remurk that he was unknown to the thallengers, ond must -brivg the persona forward .to fdentify hioy, When tho“two purrons tero brought-up, the challengers would reply that they did not know citber of them. By sich infumous mears s this; and by all mainer of captious challenging, the high-toned Democratie leaders in Alabama, ~—‘the represcututives of the wealth, lntelll- genee, and chivalre of the Stgte,”—cheated the poor, fgnorant colored voters of their demrest sieht, and are now ioating over thelr stolen vietory In this Republican county as i they had won it by honest mcul In Montgomery the g infamous micons were resorted to by the chivalry,” with the samo'result. The Federal United Stutes Marshal and Attornoy there report that when the polls were closed fit the City of Montgomery yesterday over 1,500 colored voters congrezated i front of the United States court- roonl, and demanded to kuow if there was uot some redress for THT MONSTROUS OUTRAGE which had been practlced upon them in openly awindling them out of their right to vote, " And from every Reptibllean county in the Biato the suma s reaches us that the colored votery were systematically swindled and robbed of thetr most sacred right—that of exereistuie the rizht to vote, In l’crrly County, with {ts Republican mafority, the Democratic swindlers openly sted that the *nlggers” lad no moral Hght ta vots down “renresentatives of Southern chivalry” In tho forms of whits Bourbons, and that it the **niggers' would persist in trylug to deteat white men they need not expect hereufter to ve shown mny gquarter, The Jeadlng colored men of thae vounty pro- teated, agatost such unjust treatment, and re- minded these cbivalrous Bourbous that each ons of _them lad violated his oath in thus swindling the colored voters—each having subscribed an oath to guaranteo to ol citizens equn! und exact justice. ‘Therepresentatives of tho “chivalry ™ were ureatly lucensed ot these rmtcsll;nml the report was telegraphed hero ust night that G. 8.

Special Dispateh ta The Tridune, NEw Yonrk, Aug. 17.—The Tribune crested a political sensation this morning by publishing certaln telegrama sent by Manton Marble in November aud December, 1876. These dis- patches, partly in cipher, have been laid befors the Potter Committer. * In the Tribune's oninfon they lead to ~the conclusion that, though Marble was in Florida, he touk au active interest fn the formatfou of the Cronin Elce- toral Collége, sna was in frequent communlca- tiun on thesubjeet with tiramercy LVark, Toe orticle puts Marblo forth s the famous “@ob- ble.” The disvatches are eurlous. The first Is Co Col. Pelton, and shows that Mar- ble preferred to be left alone in tho manuge- ment of Florida nffafrs, It told Pelton. to try and iave.certain documones which the Associ- ated Press would revelve sent over tho country by tho Western, New Eogland, and other sgents. Tho sccond onc says to Pelton:” “*Please yoursclf mbout the ccon- omics suggested, Coyle excecdingly use- ful hitberto. Mention names of Florlda friends when you wish to learn how much weight their several requests desesve,” It fs asked what were the economies, and fn what was Coyle useful.

Wargrrows, Wis., Aug, 17.—The Republican Convention _of this (the Second) Congressfonal district of Wisconstn will mect at Madlson Nept, 10, for the purpose of nomiusting a candidate for (:oo%rua. The district Is coniposed of Jei- ferson, Dane, Bauk, and Columbls Countles, Heretofore tiic basls of represcitation in the Conyention has been two deleuates for each As- sembly and Nenatorizl District, but this year the basis has beeu chauged toa delegate for cach Buvervisor District, by which vlan Dane will have forty-two delerrutes, Jetferson thirty, Columbia thirty-one, and Sauk twenty-six, In the Convention, The Injustice of this tew ar- raugement will be secu gt aplance when we take Into cousideration that Columbia Coune ty, with 6,000 less population than Jefferson County, has onc morc delezate in the Conven- tion, while Dane, with a population only 2,000 below Hauk and Columbis, lias fifteen esn dele- mates than these two counties, Under the. old rewdie Jefferson had cicht delegates, Columbla #ix, Dage 1en, aud Sauk six, which it must be adinitted was far more equitable. \Wha con- cewved the Supervisor hasis nrnst finding vut, for the suthor of it, convinced of Its untairness and partial bearings, is sshamed to tather it, It is reported by sume to have been adopted fn the interest of the Madieon hotels, making the Conyentlon four times In pumber what . for- merly was. Otbera clalm it is the pet measure of tha Hon. A. J. Turner, the present Rubiroad Cowmmissioner, and . Columbis County man, who had 1t adopted to swell the represcntation from Columbla, Connecting Mr. Turner’s name with i3 Is quite natural, from the fact that he ypresented & wcheme whinliar to this before the Republieon State Conventlon several years ago, but the mern- vers refused to change the basts of representa- tion for State Couventions as cailed for by the measure, Until within the past ten days it had seemed an slmost absoluty certainty that the present member, the Hon. L. B, Cawwell, of Fort At- kinsou, would be renaminated without opposi- tion. But it now looks as if therc were BRCAKERS ANEAD to prevent fta fultithucnt, 'Tie uncertainty of Mr. Caswelt’s renomination that now prevalls in portions of the distrlct comnes, no donbt, from an ovetconlldence among Republicans general- Iv that Republican success {3 ussured 1o the dis. trict tbis fall, and hence the lmportance aud nes veasity of mokinigz the right Kind of anonina- tion for a standard-bearer are vastly diminlshed.
