THE EAGLE? mtr-_ _ . - - ■ _ ~ u OFFICIAL PAPXR OF THI COCMTT. DECATUR, INDIANA. FRIDAY, OCT. 11, 1867. THE NEWS. An effort is being made in Gen. Pope’s district to open tho regis tration list S. F. Rice, of Alabama, has applied to the Mongomery board of registration while revising the list of that city, producing the oath taken by him under the President’s amnesty proclamation of September, 10th. Under Pope’s instructions the board refused to register, and Rice intends to test the question in the United States Court. The navy department are preparing for a sale of thirty-six vessels, of which twenty-eight are steamers, three iron clads. It is the largest sale ever made. Tom. N. Stillwell, the newly appointed Minister to Venezuela, will not assume the duties of his office for several months. The Quartermaster General’s office is prepareing to discharge a large number of clerka. Abont fifty have already received the required notice, among them are a large proportion of soldiers, which resulted in a meeting to consider what action to take in reference to the ex-soldiers dismissed.

Judge Underwood and L. M - Chandler, U. S. District Attorney were in Washington last week in consultation with the Attorney General relative to the trial of Jeff Davis in November. They are of the opinion that Davis can be convicted, if the case be «allowed to take the regular course, without interference from Washington authorities. The friends of Davis, on the other hand are confident of his acquittal, and assert that he will appear when wanted ; that he is not only willing but anxious for a trial. The Radicals of Virginia claim sixty of the one-hundred and five delegates to be elected to the State Convention. A detatehment of the First Uf 5 S. Infantry, Lieut. Small, defeated a band of Indians near Lake' Albert. The Indians sought safety, after the first fire, in a swamp whither they were followed by the troops waist deep in the water. Twenty-six Indians were killed and fifteen taken prisoners; no loss on our side. There is no reduction of the public debt for September. Secretary McCullough believes the receipts of the Treasury will soon be materially increased from the tax upon cotton and whiskey. Government is about to stop the sale of gold, and hereafter will maintain its gold reserve in the treasury. ' Sterling Price, one of the “lost cause” Generals, died atSt. Louis, Sept. 29, of Mexican diarrhoea. Full returns from the State of Maryland show that the vote for the new Constitution stands 47,15 for, to 23,036 against. Gov. Swann has given notice of its going into effect. The Croton National Bank has “busted.” Capital 8200,000, most of which is lost; deposits 8300,000, which will be paid after this. One by one the} - go. October Ist, sixty-three deaths from yellow fever in New Orleans, with no perceptible abatement of the disease. Twelve National Banks have been put into the hands of receivers. Ho w are you wild cats ? The Radicals will hold their next National Convention at Chicago. The 77»nes says they commenced making Presidents at Chicago, and it is fitting they should end there. The President is charged with preparations to use force in case Congress attempts to suspend him pending his impeachment, by the Times and Tribune, which he denies, Louisiana voted for the convention to amend her Constitution, by a small majority. The people of Arjzonia will present a memorial to Congress, when it next convenes, asking the the protection of the Government against the Indians. It declares unless speedy assistance is rendered the Territory will have to be Abandoned.

STATE ELECTIONS. Pennsylvania Doubtful. Radical State Ticket elected in Ohio and lowa. The Suffrage Amendment Defeated in Ohio. The latest news of the election we have obtained from the Chicago Times, of the 9th. The returns are quite meager, but enough has been received to show that the Democratic gains in Penn sylvania make that State doubtful for the Radical ticket. There is only partial returns from the principal cities of Ohio. The gains so far reported are some 12,000. The constitutional amendment is probably defeated, and a heavy inroad made on the previous majority of the Radical ticket. In lowa the Republican ticket is elected, with a reduced majority. In Indianapolis the registry law proved defective, and voting by wards was impossible. Nine additional voting precincts were opencd, but they failed to furnish sufficient accomodations, and when the polls were finally closed some three hundred had not voted. The indications are that the Radicals have carried the city by a reduced majority. The majority in Allen county, for the county ticket is reported 1,200. Newark, N. J., elected a Radical mayor by 3to 50 majority, a Democratic gain of 1,000. Later.—The Toledo Blade of yesterday says that nothing but the official vote will decide the election in Ohio. Pennsylvania ditto. Irishmen, Read. You Irishmen who have deserted the Democrats, your only true friends in this country, read the following. The Negro Vote.—The Democrats are not in a happy frame of mind since the Tennessee election. To be outvoted by black men is bad, but no worse than for Republicans to witness thousands of freshly imported Irishmen pressing to the polls, utterly ignorant of American institutions; and choosing Congressmen and State and muncipal officers over the heads of natives of the soil.— Manchester. New Hampshire, Statesman, radical. To run a parallel between such creatures and men of our race, who only lack opportunity to rival the best of us in the arts and graces of civilization, is an insult which Irishmen will not be slow to resent. We desire to call the special attention of o~ Irish'-fol-low citizens to the fact that the Republican press always claims that it is legitimate to offset an Irishman’s vote with a negroe’s; and we want them to rebuke this insolence with even greater emphasis than they have been accustomed to do.— Manchester, New Hampshcre, Union, Democrat. O r foreign advices bythec; b’.e are interesting. Garibaldi has issued an address denouncing Ratazzi, and urging his followers to carry on the war for the possession of Rome. A Florence despatch says the volunteers of Garibaldi are marching upon Rome from every direction. The Florence press urge the government to anticipate them, and occupy the city with the national troops. A report has gained currency in Florence that Hon. George P. Marsh, the American Minister, had demanded the release of Garibaldi, on the ground that he was a citizen of the United States. This story is denied; but it is true that Mr. Marsh has asked the Italian government to show clemency to the distinguished prisoner. A dispatch from Biarritz says that Marquis Moustier, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Chevalier de Nigra, Italian Embassador, have been for some time in conusltation with the Emperor, and the following plan has been agreed upon for the settlement of the Roman question. Italy is to take possession of the Roman Provinces, but the Pope is to remain in temporal power in the city of Rome until his death, when the Papal temporal power shall forever after cease. Rumors in regard to the movments of the Fenians cause much anxiety in England and Ireland. All prisoner vans are doubly guarded by armed policemen to prevent any rescue. One of the Fenian convicts named Kelley died in prison. An immense concourse of people attended his funeral.— Chicago Times, 9ih.

The London Tinies on Reconstruction. The London Times of the 9th instant, speaking of American politics, saye: The complication in the domestic affairs of the United States was never more remarkable than at the present moment. The work of reconstruction has not actually made progress, for all section of parties admit that the frame work of society in the Southern division of the Union is as much disarranged now as it ever has been. Government by the bayonet, and the forcible suppression of thought, which every reflecting man in the country heartily deplores, and even the most extreme regard with secret aversion and misgiving, seem likely to be extended through tne present generation. The American people are at length accustomed to a state of affairs from which they would formerly have turned with indignation—to the existence on their continent of a purely military Government over ten millions of their fellow citizens, whose representative men are put under a ban; who are not only excluded from the Federal Legislature and Federal offices, but are deprived of all voice in the government of their several States. New York State Democratic Convention. Albany, Thursday Oct. 3The Democratic State Convention was called to order by Samuel J. Tillen, who nominated Mayor Hoffman, of New York temporarr president, which was carried amidst cheers. Mayor Hoffman made a speech, claiming a Democratic victory in November, and denouncing the radical party and negro suffrage controverting the views of Senator Conkling in the Republican convention, assailing the registiy law as unfair to adopted citizens, and denouncing the excise law as oppressive and unjust. In regard to the national dept, he said the Democratic party would pay every dollar in the spirit as well as letter of the bond, but it could only be paid when the Government passed into the hands of an economcial party and when the present enormous burden of taxation was reduced. A resolution was adopted that the Tammany organization is the regular one of the party and giving seats to its delegates. Another resolution recognizing the Mozart Hill party as sound Democrats, and giving delegates honorary seats was adopted, with an amendment including the German delegation. The usual committes appointed, and then a recess was had. At the afternoon session Horatio Seymour was chosen permanent president. In his speech on taking the chair, Governor Seymour said: We can not, if we would, escape from confroning the day when neither safety, honor nor patriotism will suffer us to stand dump or inactive in the dark hour of danger. We have put down the rebellion. We are now struggling with a revolution. The first was sectional, the last is universal. The first saught to divide our country, the last threatens to destroy it. Mr. Seymour alluded to the charges against the President, and charges against each other by members ofthe House of Representatives. Even the Senate has pursued a policy revolutionary in tendency. In its blindness it is striking a suicidal blow against its own existence. Colorado to-day balances 4,000,000 people in the State of New York. It was admitted*merely to gain two votes in the struggle with the executive. But a bolder act was in view Twenty Senators are to be admitted from the ten States lately in rebellion, not as representatives of the white people nor of the blacks, but because they hold the views of a majority of the Senators, and are sent to Washington by their agents. In the revolution is begun, it must go on to its logical and just end. It must not rest on the necks ofthe majority of the Americand people and stop their, but its members must be represented, not its rotten boroughs or sham States. We implore our Senators not to begin a revolution, but be content with your vast powers; your organizations are at war with impartial suffrage and impartial representation. If you continue with pour usurpat on, the country may not be content with driving you back within its contitutional limits. It may go farther; and while acting upon the doctrines you Assert, it may crush you out and make another Senate, based in truth on manhood and suffrage. 1 The country needs peace, but if you will have revolution it can , not stop at any chalk lines you may mark out. New York, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tnnesse, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Missouri, lowa, Minnesota and Michigan, with a majority of the people, all which are now virtually disfranchised in your body, for i they are all controlled by the re- ’ presentatives of a quarter of our Government is to be reshaped they will have their full rights.
