M., the oMectal and unoMelal returns had been received from seventy-eight counties, which show a net democratic gain over last year 01 17,012, This leaves ten counties yet to hear from. Granting that these counties have given the same majorities as last year, the democratic majority in the State will be about 18,000, I¢ is thought, however, that the oficial returns will swell the majority to 20,000, In the thirteen Congressional districts which have gone democratic the majority ts about 34,000, divided as follows:—First district, 4,500; Second district, 1,500; Third district, 800; Fourth district, 1,000; Fifth district, 5,000; Sixth district, 2,000; Seventh district. 1,000; Ninth district, 500; Kley- enth district, 2,000; iwellth district, 4,300; ‘Tnir- teenth district, 4,000; Fourteenth district, 5,500; Twentieth district, 2,700, In the seven districts which have gone repubiican the majority is 8,000, divided a8 tollows:—Eigitn district, 300; Tenth district, 120; Filteenth district, 800; Sixteenth district, 1,200; Seventeenth distric', 250; Eight eenth district, 1,200; Nineteenth district, 3,500. ‘This leaves a democratic majority in the twenty districts 01 26,000, INDIANA Some Slight Changes in the Congres- sional Districts—The Democrats Gain Eight Members.

RAILROAD MEY IN OOUNOIL. Rules and Regulations Adopted—Classi- fication of Freights. CHICAGO, Oct. 15, 1874, The Western Railroad Commissioners, with the railroad magnates and officers of the various lines, whose arrival here was announced in last night's despatch, were in consultation again to- day and this evening. The result of the qpn- ference was the adoption of the proposi- tion reported yesterday. The Commission- ers notified the general ticket agents that the rule charging exvra for all baggage over 100 pounds to each passenger must be strictly en- forced, the extra charge to be fifteen per cent of first class passenger fare for the distance travelled. It was agreed that the rule abolishing the payment. of commissions to outside ticket agents should go. into effect November 1. The Commissioners also agreed that hereafter no road would accept tickets sold by steamship companies over their lines for Jess than the full rate of fare. The generai ireight agents adopted A CLASSIFICATION OF FREIGHTS, to go into effect November 26, as follows :— Chicago to New York—First cl: 1 560 per cwt. Chicago to New York—Second cl: 1 10 per cwt. Chicago to New York—Third class, $0 85 per cwt. Chicago to New York—Fourth class, $0 46 per cwt. Cattle rates, Chicago to New York, were fixed at filty-five cents per hundredweight, and {rom Chi- cago to Buffalo and Pittsburg, pro rata o1 sin n York rates, Cotton rates were established at per hundredweight from Memphis ana Nashville to New York, with the privilege of compressing ahe cotton. It has transpired that none of the Western or Northwestern roads—that is, the roads running west or northwest of Cnicago—would enter Into the agreement made by the meet- ing of railway managers held in New York on the 1st inst, and this determination they still adhere to. All roads running east from here, except the Grand Trunk, have entered into the arrangements, Strong efforts are being made to induce this road to reconsider their decision in the matter, but so far without effect.

ORDEK OF PROCESSION. An Eloquext. Tribute by Senator Oglesby- sa » > HEON. 4 THE STATUE AND General Grant on the 'yDead’! Ex-President. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. 15, 1874." The ceremontes of the unveiling of the Lincolr statue at Oak Ridge Cemetery took place to-day. The oration was delivered by Hon, Richara J. Oglesby, United States Senator from Illinois, The first arrangement was that President Grant shoula deliver the oration and Mr. Oglesby the nistorical Teview of the association of which he 1s President, That Ulysses the Silent did at one time contem. plate seriously playing the orator appears from the statement o! Mr. Oglesby that he had promised to deliver the aedicatory address should he be re* quebred by the committee to do so, Even the letter of declination bears this out, reading, as it does, as follows:— @ENSRAL GRANT'S DECLINATION. T have kept the letter two days without answering. to fully conay ler whether I can undertake a task so differ- e ‘om anything ever attempted Great admiration for Mr. Li Justice tothe subject. But I do not, cline the honor, thanking the association of which you are the President for conferring it, and hope you will mae a igi Go of some one we can and will do on Justice to the memery and public services of our nobi martyred Presid on , mane lent. Governor Dix was the next choice, but he de- clined, owing to “oficial engagements.” Ex-Séc- retary Gideon Welles—almost the last of the men intimately connected with the life and career of the great President, Greeley, Sumner, Stanton, Chase, Seward, all having followed him—was then called on, but declined (though urged to ac- ceptance by his own inclinations and the impor- tunities of his friends), for the following strong reasons, significantly expressed :— LETTER FROM GIDEON WELLES. ‘The enlarged. comprehensive, statesmanlike and mag- nauimous views and policy of Mr. Lincoln on the suhject ot what is called “reconstruction” have been so gene- rally discarded by most of his. political friends that 1, with my convictions, would be likely to give offen many who would be present. Other considerations also present themselves. The extrome radical men who strove to deteat his renomination and re-election became ascendant atter his death atd prostituted his name to their mischievous schemes, which have wrought Lncal- culable injury to our governmental structuro. ‘Time will develop theso truths—some are already apparent—but the day has not yet arrived to proctatin them to such an assemblage ag will be likely to gather at Springfeld. Myr. Morton was the last choice of the com- mittee, but pleaded poor health and pressure of business, and in despair Mr. Oglesby had to be called in. So pressed was he for time that he nad to depute the preparation and delivery of the historical review to Jesse K. Dubois, Vice Presi- dent of the association. , THE STATUB and escutcheon, placed beneath on the base of the pedestal it occupies, were safely placed in posi tion ten days since, under the supervision of the artist, Mr, Larkin G. Mead, Jr,, the Ames Com- pany, of Chicopee, Mass., having finished them bat a short time belore from the models furnished just four years ago. (it will, probably, vy the way, take cight or ten years more to complete the monument.) Ere it was veiled the statue was inspected by many of Mr, Lincoin’s most intimate iriends, who all agree in a verdict of high praise. The figure is represented as dressed in the double-breasted, long irgck coat, and the loose pantaloons which were in fashion ten or twelve years ago, and con- sequenily the form appears more juil and robust than Mr, Lincoln reaily was. The stoop of the shoulders, which is preserved, adds to this by wrinkling loosely the garments over the breast, and the lorward inclination of the head 1s further true to nature and avoids leaving a too strong im- pression of ungainly height, ‘The face is a pertect 1ece of portratture—the manner of wearing the busny hair, the protruding eyebrows, the nose, the mouth with the prominent and sligntly droopin lower lip, the mole on his leit cheek, the eyes se! jar back in the heud, the caim, earnest, half sor- rowful expression O1 the face, ail recalling Lincoln as he was in lile, and especimily as he was toward ats close.

The right hand leans somewhat ConVORMORALY on the consular fasces, round which the American flag is draped, witn at the bottom a laurel wreath Against tae folds. The escutcheon, placed on the face of the pedestal upon which the statue stands, represents the American eagle standing upon a shield partly arree by the flag, With one 100t upon a broken shackle, aud in his beak the iragments of the chain that bags just been broken to pieces, FOUR EMBLEMATIC GROUPS, representing the artillery, cavairy and tifantry and the Naval service, are to Occupy the four cor- ners of the base of the shaft, The two given by the cities of New York and Chicago—each costing about $14,000, the statue the same amount, and the escutcheon $1,500—have been completed so far as the models are concerned, paid for and placed in the hands of the Ames Com y. The navy group—a spirited representation of the taree grades of the service, boy, satior and ofticer—nas been cat up for the moulders; the tn- fantry group—drummer boy, private and color bearer—was very badly shattered en route from italy, but can be restored by patns and patience, jSoston and Philadelphia have as yet failed to m.ske god their pledges, and it 1s belteved, in con.sequence of the Centennial absorbing the tentian of the people in the latter city, this (San- gamon; county will have to assume the respousl- lity, "Oty the «th inst. the body was placed in tre crypt under the Menument, having again been rein- cased.

When the’body was, in , 1871, removed from the tempora¥y tomb to the crypt in the mon- ument, it was deemed eh to place it ina Metallic casket, bus though this was done, the condition of the body Was such then as to prevent the casket from serving Sie expected purpose. On Friday last, theretore, the remaing were tnclosed in & leaden case, which was piaced in a red cedar coffin; then the whole was enclosed in a very hand- some sarcophagus, which was placed in the crypt under the monument. ‘THE CEREMONIES. ‘The procession began to form at eleven o’cl Governor Beveridge acting a8 grand marsh President Grant, with Secretary Beiknap, occu- Pied a carriage at the head of the procession, pre- ceded by the military band trom Newport Bar- Tacks, and, escorted by the Governor’s Guard, & military organization of this city, as a guard of honor, Next came the Rev.

The procession arrived at the cemetery at one o'clock. Not less than 25,000 persons were present.

The choir then sang, “Rest, Spirit, Rest,” at the conclusion of which two Sisters of Oharity, seated on either side of the statue, rose, and, amid breathless silence, ratsed the red, white ana blue drapery from the marble form. President Edwards then read & poem written for the occasion by James Judson Lord. The bands again played an appropriate air, when loud calls being made for President Grant he stepped forward, amid en- thusiastic applause, and spoke as follows :— THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH. Mr. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:—OD an occasion like tne present, tt is a duty on my part to bear.testimony to the great and good qualities of the patriotic man whose earthly remains now rest beneath the dedicated monument. it was not my fortune to make the personal acquaint- ance of Mr, Lincoln till the beginning of the last year of the great struggle tor national existence. During those years of doubt ana aespondency among the many patriotic men of the country, Abraham Lincuin never for & moment douoted that the final result would be in favor of peace, union and ireedom to every race in this broad land; his fatth in an all wise Providence directing our arms to this final result was the faith of the Curistian that his Redeemer liveth. Amid the obioquy, personal abuse and hate undisguised, and which was given ventto without restraint through the press, upon the stump and in private circles, be remained the same stanch, unyielding servant of the people, oever exhibiting REVENGEFUL FRBLINGS TOWARD HIS TRADUORRS. He rather pitied them, and hoped, for their own sake and the good name of their posterity they might desist for a single moment. It did not oc- cur to him thatthe man Lincolg was being as- guiled, but that a treasonapie spirit—one waiting to destroy the freest. government the sun ever ‘shone upon—was giving vent to itaelf on him as the Chief Bxéculive of the nation, only because he was such Executive.

But who can tell what might have been the fate of the na- tion but for the pure, unselfish and wise adminis. tration of Lincoln * From March 1864 to the day when the hand of an assassin opened a grave for Mr. Lincoln, then President of the United States, my personal rela- tions with him were ag close, as intimate as the natore of our respective duties woulda permit, To know him personally was to love and respect him for his great qualities of head and heart and for his patience and patriotism. With all his disappointmets irom failures on the part of those to. whom he imtrusted command, and treachery on the part of those who had gatned his confidence but to betray it, I never heard him utter a complaint nor cast censure for baa conduct or bad faith. It was Nis nature to find excuses for his adversaries. In his death the na- tion lost its greatest head. In his death the South lost its most just friend. Ex-Vice President Collax, who was discovered on the platform, was loudly called for, and, in very eloquent and feeling remarks, paid his tribute of love and respect to the honored dead. Remarks were also made by General Sherman, Vice President Wilson and General W. T.

It is composed very largely of negroes, who, until to-day, have obeyed the mandates of Kellogg and Packard. When the office of Criminal Sherif ‘was reached to-day colored members, who Jett that they were being used by the wire-ptllers, “bolted” the momination of Badger, Cmef of Police, who was wounded in the battle of the 14th, and nominated a mulatto named Boutte, an ex- deputy sberif. This nomination created the greacest excitement,.showing that the New Orleans colorea people are not under the control of Kel | logg. Feehng ram so bigh among the police that one of the guards of Governor Kellogg’s office im my presence today de- nounced his colored asgociates in the convention for defeating Badger, and exclaimed, “Damn Boutte; what has he ever done for the party? If I meet him on post I will shoot him.” One of Kellogg's officials tells me that this nomination wiil “hreak’’ the republican party into petty fac- tions, Having kicked over the party traces in this way the colored delegates followed it up by pass- ing @ rosolution reaffirming the confidence in Pinchback, who leads the colored opposition to Kellogg and the movement to fuse with the whites, calling upon the United States Senate to admit Pinchback to @ seat, and in case oj the Senate failing to give him the seat the resolution renominates him for tnis honor and directs ull the members of tne General Assembly “to put in force and execute this declaration of the deliber- ate wisdom of the republican party in convention assembled.” This is generally accepted as @ deflant notice to Governor Kellogg that he no longer has the confidence of the intelligent colored mea of the party. “Governor” McEnery to-day publishes another letter, in which he embodies a letter from Judge Alexander Walker, with the view of showing that he (McEnery) has always been ready to submit his claims to a seat to arbitration, Judge Walker, who is one of the editors of the Picayune, stands deservedly bighin the confidence of all parties, and his word will not be disputed by any one in this community. 1 may not probably interpret the temper of the people, but 1 understand the general opinion to be that, whether the rightful Governor or not, Kellogg can no longer control the colored people, and that while he is making & gallant fight, and is not even intimidated by hints of assassination, his usefulness as manipulator of party politics is atanend. I question very much whetner, with all the moral support of the federal government, he can carry the State in opposition to the conservatives and colored bolters irom his party. The Picayune to-day thus describes the scene in yesterday's session of tne Convention, when Kel- logg appeared upon the floor. It says:— Sovoral of the delegates, supposing he had come the to overawe the Convention and to bully it into uomu tions, rushed forward on the Governor. Mr. L. D. bert, late Chairman of the Convention, shoox his fst in Relluges tace, while a few Belegates cursed Kellogg in round terms. ‘The whole room became a scene of con- fusion. The audience rushed over to where a number of angry delegates were cursing and abusing the Governor. Kelloga’s friends crowded around him to protect him. ‘The cries of “Fight, damn him,” that sounded through the room, promised a general row; but the police soon separated the contestants and rescued Keliogg, pale and excited, from the crowd. Colonel Wright, State Supervisor of Registra- tion, to-day produces a letter from United States Supervisor Maroney, of Coushatta, where the re- cent murders were perpetrated, in which Maroney charges that there ts a reign or terror there; that Captain Mitchell, of the Third United States in- fantry, and his command have fraternized with the White Leaguers; that he refuses to give the republicans arms to defend themselves; that tne whites threaten to kill all the republicans and at- tack the troops and drive them out, so as to se- cure a military government. Yet, iurther on in this manufacture of lies, published simply to in- finence the elections, Maroney admits that the White Leaguers love the soldiers and hate the government of the State. The report concludes by stating that if the fusion movement fatis he and all the white republicans will be compelied to take refuge in New Orleans, ‘The White Leaguers of the city are still drilling regularly ; but this is the only demonstration they make, any Financial Difficulties—Foreign Bond- holders Desirous of Wunding the Debt of Louisiana—Settlements with Other States. “Sea New ORL#ans, Oct, 15, 1874. An agent of all the European holders of South- ern State bonds has arrived here, and from him I learn that the foreign creditors of these States hold over $200,000,000 in bonds, which he is au- thorized to settle. He has already settled with the Governors of Aiabama, Virginia, South Caro- lina, North Carolina and Arkansas, and nothing now ts required by State Legislatures to ratify the agreements. The basis of the settlement is that tne foreign holders of bonds agree to fund the debt of the several States’ principal and interest, and extend the debt for twenty years atiour or five per cont interestper annum. He informs me that he is prevented irdm settling the $24,000,000 debt of this State, owiliy to the fact that there is no government here with which to | settle, Ifthere was @ governmient wita which to negotiate the domestio and foreign debt of the Siate, by extending it thirty years from January, 1875 or 1876, and accepting new funded bonds bear- ing four per cent interest, this would require Louisiana to pay but $16,000 or $17,000 per year interest on her total debt. It ts believed that Tennessee will settle on the same basis, The amounts already settled are:—Virginla, $34,000,000; South Carolina, about $10,000,000; North Carolina, $20,000,000; Arkansas, about $3,500,000; Alabama, $8,000,000. ‘The agent asserts that at five per cent interest on the debta tax of two milis on the dollar of taxable property will in sixteen years free any of the States of their present indebtedness, The draft of @ bill to be aubmitted to all the State Legislatures to confirm the settlement has been prepared in London and has been approved by the Governors of the States named, and tt 1s be- leved will be adopted by all of them. Nota dol- lar of the principal is required of any State until after thirty years. Ihave carefully examined the bill, and though it may be the work of a syndicate I fait to find any very objectionable features in it. Republican Nominations. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 15, 1874.

How Mr. Fish Protects ¢ Victims of Spanish Rule in Cuba. MADRID, Dept. 26, 1874, Some time ago the English papers had a para- grapo in regard to the landing at Santander of an American citizen named F, A. Dockray, & prisoner arrived from Cuba. 1 caused inquiry to be made at Madrid, and the reply, received this morning, 13 as follow: THS FISH DIPLOMACY IN MADRID. “All that is known here ts that Dockray arrived on the 16th of September at Santander, where he StI ts He landed nearly naked and without re- sources. He applied to our Minister General, Cushing, who directed the American Consul at Santander to furnish him with clothes and all that he needed, General CGusn- ing being willing to foot the bill, and ordering the Consul to draw on Madrid. General Cushing at the same time telegraphed to Wash- ington for instructions, but no answer had beem received tp t0 the evening of the 26th. The reply whl probably come by mal, now nearly due, as General Cushing telegraphed to Washington om the 16th. Tne impression at Madrid was that General Cushing could not tuteriere in Dockray’s case without receiving special instructions; Cubam affairs, it appears. being attended to tn Washing~ ton and by the Consul General at Havana. How- ever this may be it appears that we can do nothing turther than request, but not claim, Dock- Fay to be given up. ARMY INTELLIGENOE.
