It has leaked out, despite She care and astuieness of the United States officials, Sbat the domiciliary visite and arrests aro to be com- menced to-night or certainly to-morrow night. In Alken county mounted deputy marshals, supported by Soldiers, are to raid in concert upon the bomes and Wesidences of the parties* accused of iutimi- dation, and United Statos Commissioners are to be stationed at convenient points, before whom the prisoners are to be arraigned for a preliminary examination.

Governor Chamberlain publishes another letter to-day, addressed as usual to the people of the United States, appending a regular outrage mill letter trom the United States District Attorney, in ‘which hi CHAMBERLAIN’S LETTER. An effort‘having vcen made by the official repre- Bentatives of the democratic party of this State to deny the facts and condition of aflairs which were set forth in my recent letter to the Chairman of the Democratic State Executive Committee, and. upon whieh my pevolanas of the 7th inst, rests, I doem it my duty say, upon my tull’ official Fesponnility, that Tam at this moment in possession of authentic legal evidence to substantiate every fact And statoment made by me in documents above referred to; and I further assert upon my tull official and personil responsibility that the lawlessness, ter- rorism and violonce to. which I have reterrad tar ex- teed in extent and atrocity any statements yet made ublic, This latter statement rests upon the evidence jk. my bands of persons who have officially investigated the facts at the places where they occur: and upon tho aflidavits of United States army officers who wero Present at the scenes of violence and murder, All t evidence in my bands and in the hands of the United States District Attorney wili be mado blic 0 soon as the interests ot public justice will permit it, I pledge myself to the tountry to prove a condition of affairs in this State produced by the democratic party, more disgraceiul than any statement yet made by me, and I shall not se my hand until punishment overtakes its guilty thors. My only offence is too great caution in obtaining evidence and too great delay in exercising my utmost Powers to protect our c:tizens. This letter of the Governor gives rise to the suspicion that he is the motive power of these arrests and that ho is merely acting under the guise of the United Btates, using the deputy marshals, commissioners and soldiers as magistrates and constables to enforce the Jawa, of which, as Governor of the State, he has vir- tually acknowledged himseif incapavle..

The same Is true of each aud every county im this circuit. Theonly case of olitical inum- idation that has transpired in this circuit was tried at York on last Toursday, the de.cndant being ono Edward McDoud, charged with threatening the lile of eno Henry Lowry, also colored, because he haa joined a democratic club aud had declared bis purpose to vote the democraticticket. ‘The jury consisted of six repube Neaus, colored citizens, and six wuite men, one of whom 1s also an avowed republican, The prisouer was ubly wefended by W.

INDIANA, InpiaxaPotis, Oct, 9, 1876, ‘The situation to-night isaltered. The indications are Still more strongly favorable to a democratic victory. Both parties have their heelers nere in great force, and Isbould not be surprised if a hundred heads went bruised to bed to-morrow night. The hotels are full of that class of people who live and thrive and make their desperate living on politics, Thero may bea row to- morrow, but tt will not be the suggestion of the decent leaders of either side. The News of this evening pub- lishes the following, which may give a fair idea of THE SITUATION. The political excitement has reached the boiling point, Everybody is stirred up. Oid and young, white and black, republican, democrat and greenback, are aroused to the highest piteb, There are fears of traud and threais of violence. The wrought up passions of men are likely to be inflamed vy the influence of a crow The decent portion of the commuuity cannot afford to have an outbreak of any kind A repetition Of tho election riot of last spring Would be of great in- to the city as well aa to the party successiul in ction.

The accounts at the democratic headquarters indicate | the election of Biue Jeans by a majority of 8,000.

EFFORTS TO PRESERVE PEACE. Great efforts have been made to guard against vio- lence, This afternoon about twenty prominent citt- zens composed equally of both parties held conteren at Governor Heudricks’ ollice for the purpose of adopt- ing measures for ensuring honesty in the eity election and partisan feelings were subordinated to the general desire for peace. The following plan was agreed upon after Jong consultation and a corps of deputies and apectal posse is 10 be chosen from both parties alike. The terms of agreement are as follows and signed by the joint committees and by Governor Hendricks :— FOR THE PRESEKVATION OF PEACE.

Convunes, Oct. 9, 1876 There is little to add to previous despatches con- cerning the situation here on the eve of the State election, The prospect is good for a quict day, and a large, but not full vote. At democratic headquarters the opinion is ox- pressed that Boll will carry the State by 10,000 majority if @ fair election is had, and the evi- dence is at band that the voting will be of the average kind, notwithstanding charges of each party of in- tended fraud on the part of the othor.

Tho regular fall regatta of the Williamsburg Yacht Clab, Commodore T. W. Reeves, took place yesterday on Long Island Sound, and was, as usual, full of inter. est and incident, eleven boats competing, two of which upset during the regatta, The wind, which blew fresbly in the early morning trom tne northwest, died ay almost entirely by the hour set for the start, so that some of the contesting craft were towed to the Starting point. The guests and members of the club not engaged in sailing their boats started from the dock foot of Kent street, Greenpoint, on the steamboat Only Son, at balf-past nine A. M., for the Two Brothers Island, from which point the race commenced at noon, over THE NEW CouRsE, frorh a stakeboat off the North Brother to and around the Sand’s Point buoy to pont of beginning, a distance of twenty miles. This course has beem adopted to avoid the difficulties attendant on races through Hel! Gate and tho channels on either side of Blackwell's Island, THR RACK, which should have commenced at half-past ten A. M., Was, 1u consequence of the non arrival of some of tho beats, deferred to twelve o'clock, at which time tho wind was vory light, but favored with eccastonal puils, that betokened a breeze before the race was concluded, The start was a flying one, time being taken trom the shore as the boats crossed the line from the judges? Position and a stakeboat in the Sound. The delay, and & general misundorstanding of the sailing regulations, confused the getting off exceedingly, the five minutes between cach class being exceeded in nearly every in- ance. Four classes of boats were entered, three ing open boats and one cabin sloops, the main Inter- tcentring in the contest between the Pluck and Luck and Greenpoint, of the first class open boats. These two boats lay back as the others started, eacn fearing to be first over the line; but finally, just’ asthe wind died away, the Greenpoint was declared off on her way, and then her opponent followed as soon as | the wind aliowed. By this time the smaller boats were well ou their way to Whitestone. The cabin sloops had considerable difficulty in reaching the line im consequence of the lightness of the wind, and it was a quarter to one o’clock before the Jast boat was over the line, The Onty Son then hastened away after the littie fleet of eleven sails in time to wit- ness the passage of the boats around Throge’s Point and into the open water beyond. Tho Mary Gibson led the smaller boats by two lengths, tol- Jowed closely by the Rosina and Katie, the former losing ground shortly after passing the point by not Juiling as quickly as the others, thus allowing them to getto her windward. As the breeze ireshened, how- ever, she gained, and the three sped merrily toward the turning point, ‘The Lanthier und Fayorita were about one-eightn of a mile behind, while the rest of the boats were beca!med off Whitestone, About half- past one the wind rose and the strugzle between the sruiller boats was exciting, the Rosina, Gibson and Katie turning a Stakeboat all in the space of five seconds at 2! im, P. M., the Gibson soon alter work- ing -up to harold puttin ead. At 2h. 42m. ther Lanthier turned the buoy, and at 2b. 44 ho Favor. ita, closely followed by the Gilbert Orr, The wind was now blowing suuflly from the southwest, so that the homeward course was a beat dead to windward. The remainder of the fleet. were next discerned coming up rapidly, the Pluck and Luck abreass the Greenpoint, but belug juside she turned frst at 3b, 22m, and on her first tack so out-footed and out-pointed the Greenpoint that she led her down, The Endeavor turned at Nettie at 3h. 30m, and Chester Arthur at the Sorceress beimg so far behind her timo was not‘takep, From 3h. 30m. the wind was a whole- gat! breeze, so stiff that north of Hart’s Island tho ed, by capsizing, at 3b. 4am., a passing schooner picking up her crew «nd taking her in tow, At four o'clock, just as the Pluck and Luck had cleared of ‘\ho same island, and whea she got a clear lead on’ ber opponent, a aw struck her abeam, aad before a sheet could vo loosened she turned over in the water, Over an hour and « ball was spent in righting the two boats, which when placed in position were taken in tow by the tug BeMiiant and brougnt down, The Favortta, meeting with some mishaps, was also taken in tow. The race was concluded in the dark, and immediately thereafter the entiro company sat down to an excellent supper, rovided by Mrs. Kelly, the hostess on the North Brower Island, and atits conclusion all bands sailed down in the contesting boats. ‘The time of the race 1s as follows :— THIRD CLASS SLOOPS—orEX, Start, Home Stabeboat Name.

Yesterday was glorious for yachting; the lov: the sport could not have Wished tor a fairer olus, however, did not kiss the waves with a pi THE WIN- sion- ate breath, so that the billows only rocked the eutered sloops gently, und they danced upon them as if they were cradies over which jullabics might bo sung. Go- wanus Bay was alive with boats early in the day, and the wherrymen wero activo in taking parties to and from the shore to the yachts, The South Bend Houso was the headquarters of tho yacht owners well as visitors, The following sloops were entered for the race:— Tirinkle, Messra, James Lennox and James Edwards were the judges, I'he annexed lengths of the boats were given: — Twinkle, 36 feet; Revetlie, 32 feet 6 inches; Admiral Rowan, 28 feet, and N 23 feet course as agreed on was from at around Diamond Reet buoy, thenee to and arouna Fort Laiayeite buck to stakeboas und repeat, kesping all marks and stakeboat on port hand. The wind was West-northwest when the | al yun was Ored, . M., in fine style.
