THE EAGLE, CrriClAk BAPXB OT THKOVXTT. DECATLR, lADIAIVA. ■ , - w FRIDAY, NOY. 1, IS6T. —ESSJ ■ » TUE NEWS. Brownlow has been elected United States Senator, for Tennessee. General Grant has issued another order looking to • retrenchmeat. He directs that all private buildings occupied in the city by any bureau of the War Depart meat, be vacated at once, turned over to their owners. This will effect a saving of many thousand dollars per month. Since General Grant took hold of the War Department, the retrenchment iu expenses has been at the rate of ®5,000,000, per annum. Mr. Evarts, associate counsel for the Government in the Jeff. Davis case, has been in conference with Attorney General and districtattorney, regarding Jeff. Davis’ case. It was decided that there should be no delay whatever in the trial set at Richmond for November. If Judge Chase is not present, the trial is to proceed before Judge Underwood. A proposition that the* District of Columbia have a delegate in Congress will be presented next session, and probably past without opposition.

The New York Ilerald's special nays that District Attorney Chandler has notified Charles O'Conner that the Government will be ready to proceed with the trial of Jeff. Davis at the session of the United States Circuit Court in Richmond commencing on the 25th of November. Unless postponement is procured by Davis's counsel it is considered certain that the trial will come off. Preparation for his reception in Richmond is being made by his counsel. Returns from the Alabama elections have been received at the War Office, They show that the number of voters registered was one hundred and sixty-three thous and one hundred and twenty. The number of votes cast was ninetytwo thousand two hundred and sixty-three, of which all but five thousand two hundred and thirtynine were in favor of a convention. The white vote was about sixteen thousand five hundred. Fivesixths of the convention delegates are Republicans, about half of them are colored men. The freedman’s bureau will expire next July by limitation. It is understood that General Howard will not recommend its continuance beyond that time in case the reconstruction of the South should be accomplished. In that event he will recommend a comprehensive system of education for the colored youth South, by the establishment of an extensive normal school as Washington City, for the education of colored teachers and the orgnization ts normal schools, for the same object in the Southern States.

Radicalism.—The Government take care of the rich, and the rich take care of the poor. The usual Radical definition is intelligence morality and loyalty. The negroes of the South are being taken tn as political partners on the first proposition. The Radicals wished to take the negroes of Ohio in on the same terms and refused. They paid a good price for the Manufacturers and Bondholders, and now wish the poor men of this country to foot the lull—from Maine to California the bill is Being disputed, and next year the swindling firm will be ground, between the upper and nether Millstone,—and they will be ground exceeding fine. The”? Truth. The Cincinnati Commercial, refering to,negro suffrage proposition in Ohio, speaks the truth after ♦he following fashion: Os the proposed amendment we will say that it was unwise in Congress to make it a political necessity for the friends of Congress to offer irshd support it at this junctare: and its conclusive defeat in Ohio must be accepted as absolute evidence that the extreme radical policy of converting the South into black States is not acceptable to an immense majority of the people of i-hv North.

Democratic Slate Ticket. The Ligonier National Banner favors the nomination of the Hon. Wil S. Holman, Representative of the 4th District, as the Democratic candidate for Governor, and Samuel E. Alvord, of Noble county, for Lieutenant Governor. As comparatively but a short time will elapse before the Convention which makes the nominations assembles, it is right and proper that the Democrats of the State should present the names of those who propose to uphold the grand old banner of Democracy in the coming Gubernatorial contest.— While we have no names to suggest, or preferences to express, we are glad to notice a general awakening to the subject. The victory is half won already, and if the Democracy of Indiana do their duty in selecting their standard bearers, defeat is impossible. Indiana Democratic by a good round majority at the October election, might be the turning point in the National contest, and give us a Democratic President. Let us have plenty of names to choose from, and when we meet in Convention select for our ticket those whom we think can control the largest popular vote in the State. In the mean time let us have a Democratic organization in every township in the State, as a rallying point for the conservative element of the country, and next fall we will witness the defeat of the party of unequal taxation, who legislate to fill the coffer of the rich and oppress the poor.

Negro Voting. The incidents of the late election farce in this city will afford for along time to come subjects .or conversation and dissenssion. They are at once amusing, and ludicrous and alarming. One negro in the crowd around the court house held up an Independent ticket (printed on blue paper) and cried out in a loud voice : “No land ! no mules I no vote ? slavery again!” Then holding up a red ticket, he ' shouted out: “Fortyacres of land! a mule! freedom! votes! the equal of the white man!” And apparantly satisfied he put the red ticket in the ballot box. Numbers of negroes brought halters with them for the mules they confidently expected to get. A crowd of negroes from the southern part of the county were met at the river by an agent of the radicals here, who put in their hands the red tickets, and told them, the}' must not let anybody take them away from them, as each ticket w.-,s good for a piece |of land. The poor devils concluded if that was the fact, they had better hold on to their tickets, and speedily returned home so learn where their lots were located and enter upon possessionOne fellow, when his ticket was given him, asked what he was to do with it. He was told to put it in the box. “Js dat all ?” he quired. “Yes.” “Nothin more marster?” “No.” Is dat voting?” “Yes.” “I thought votiu was gittin sumthin." And, disgusted, threw the paper on the ground, trampled it under foot, and went home at least a wiser man— SelmaAlabama, Messenger, 15th.

In a speech delivered to the workingmen in this city, Mr. Alexander McDonald, president of a miner’s union in England, stated that on the oeasion of a “lookout” in a Yorkshire mining district the employers “tried the experiment of black labor in the hope of bringing the white miners to a reducton of wages.” The experiment failed. In this country, the capitalists of New England are now tryiag the black experiment in a different way, but with a similar object. By enabling four millions of ignorant Southern negroes to outvote, with their Northern allies, an equal number of intelligent Northern mechanics, they expect to carry out the favorite Jacobin policy of “protecting” capital against the labor which produces it. —-Chicago Times. The editor of the Louisiana Democrat saw, a few day ago, in Alexandria, an old negro freedman, at least eighty years old, with two large navy revolvers buckled to his waist, a peppper box revolver in each pocket, a huge sugar cane knife in his bosom and a loaded walking cane in bis right hand. He was a delegate to the radical mongrel convention The Natchez Courier, unreconstructed, says an attempt to get up a loyal league in Columbus, MisI sissippi, proved an entire failtiSe, ■ the respectable portion of the colI ored people refusing to have anything to do with the concern.

The Indian Treaty. St. Louis, October 25. Letters and telegrams from Medicine Lodge Creek, Kansas, say that the grand council with the Indians, commenced on the lOth, when Senator Henderson explained the object of the council and desires of the Government. No thing definite resulted, all the tribes not being represented. Salanta, head chief of the Kiowas. and leading man of the Southern Indians, expressed objections to leaving the plains and being confined to a reservation. He claims that all the lands South of the Arkansas river, as belonging to the Kiowas and Camanches. and did not went to give any of them away- The n«xt day, however, the Kiowas and Camanches made a treaty with the United States Commissioners, its provisions containing the same conditions as those of the treaty made at Little Rock, Arkansas, two years ago, with the exception that the agricultural reservation be set apart for them on the main branch of Red river near the Wachita Mountains, where those can go who choose. They are permitted to hunt on their ancient lands south of the Arkansas river. Satanta protested strongly against going into houses like the whites, but finally signed the treaty. The Arapahoes were to meet the commissioners on the 22nd, and the Cheyenne on the 25th, in separate council. Satisfactory treaties will probably be made with all the Southern Indians. Senator Henderson would leave for St. Louis on the 25th, but the other commissioners will remain several days longer. The Osages arrived at the council on the 20th from their agency, to lay some complaint before the commissioners.

Germination. A writer in the Springfield, Massachusetts, Daily Union, gives the following striking thought in regard to the germinating princple of seeds: • It has been said that by the aid of a magnifying power, it is possible to witness the actual process of the germination of the seed of a plant—to behold the root slowly working its way downward in tiie soil, and simultaneously the plumule, or stem, shooting out in the opposite direction. The circulation of the sap, in the cella, for example, resembles a flowing stream of liquid silver. And the order and regularity' with which the curious functions are preformed of secreting starch, sugar, gluten and oil—the development of woolly fibre and leaf—and all from the same soil, giving to each specific plant its peculiar difference of form color and odor—these, and a multitude of other astonishing processes, are sufficient to invest the study of this subject with the rarest interest to the most ordinarily thoughtful person. France and Italy. Loxdox, October 21, p. m.—Dispatches from the continent to this hour, report the Italy, Roman situation as improved very much.— Italy satisfies the demands of France relative to an exact observances of the terms and fulfillment of the duties imposed by the September convention, and it is hoped that war between the two countries has been averted thereby. No more French troops have gone to Toulon, and forces which was held ready to sail at that port has been debarked.

All the war preparations- ordered in France, have been countermanded. General Claldini, of the Italian army, a favorite soldier since the time of the Crimean war, succeeds Signor Rattazzi as Prime Minister of the King, and will proceed to form a new cabinet, having an anti-revolutionary policy. Indiana Politics.—The Chicago Republican has the following item in reference to Indiana politics : “The Republican State convention of Indiana will be held February 22, six weeks after the Democratic convention, which assembles January 8. If the last named being first to assemble, nomiijates Senator Hendricks for Governor the Republicana will probable press Schuyler Colfax into the service, and the higher stake being the United States Senatorship, Governor elect will get it. In this view the second place on the ticket be comes important, and any of the prominent Republicans or Democrats who have been named for governor would be willing to accept it. Tickets composed of Colfax and Cumback, on the one side and Hendricks and Holman, on the other, are now the talk* The person who was employed as gardener by Mr. Lincoln appears to be in the market with Mrs. Lincoln’s private correspondence, and threatens to wash what Napoleon used to call an extensive lot of “dirty linen,” if not bribed to hold his tongue.

Dangerous Rcminlsccuceg. The following reminiscences of aby gone era of prosperity and peace, indulged in by a radical organ, the New York Times, are too pregnant with danger to radical ascendancy to be often revived in that quarter: “Jt seems to be a well authenticated historical fact that the republic did get on quite comfortably for some thing like eighty years, while the blacks did not fight our battles nor control our elections. It is true there were a good many things that wera not exactly as they should have been, but nevertheless the country prospered; the crops were good; the liberties of the people were protected: we went through one war with Great Britain and another with Mexico very creditably; commerce flourished ; taxation was light; we paid our national debt; foreign nations enived us, and we, in turn, and for the purpose of keeping up good fellowship despised them—and on the whole we got along very comfortably.” Those were days of Democratic ascendacy. The day is dawning again when the beat lights of this picture, without its darker shades, shall, under Democratic ascendancy, be renewed. General Grant on tbe Late Elections. The latest dispatches render it certain that the Democracy have swept the Keystone State, while both parties are claming a State triumph in Ohio. The emphatic condemnation of negro suffrage in Ohio settles the question as between Georgia and the State of Maryland. A prominent New York radical, who arrived here this afternoon, says the negro supremacy issue has done the mischief, and that Congress stands condemned. A friend of General Grant asked him today what he now thought of his declartion—“the will of the people was the law of the land,” He replied, “The people have spoken ; let them be obeyed.”— Washington correspendence of the Boston Post October 9.

How Much Money la Stolen. Hon. Charles Reemelin, in his speech in Columbus, went into a mathematical demonstration of the fact that the people actually pay, in the way 7 of certain internal revenues, annually, the sum of nine hundred and forty three millions five hundred and throe thousand nine hundred and eighty-three dollars, only three hundred and ninety six millions of which ever reach the treasury of the United States; the balance of over five hundred and. forty* seven and a half millions is either consumed in profits in the cost of collection, or stolen by the officials. A more unjust and villainous system of taxation was never conceived than that through which our internal revenues are levied and collected. — » » .... A meritorious article is Hall’s Sicilian Hair Renewer; it is rapidlybecoming known nnd widely and deservedly' popular. It is apparently nothing in itself but an agreeably perfumed and pleasant hair dressing, but it contains the most wonderfull curative properties for loss of hair, and after using it a short time, gray 7 hair is restored to its natural color. If any of our readers doubt it', let them try a single bottle of the “Renewer,” and they will add their testimonial of the truth of what we say.— “Sentinel" Burlington, pt. Sligiily Radical. —Mr. Jay editor of a paper in New Jersey, says that he “had rather sit on a jury with eleven niggers, and all of the blackest kind, in mid August, and the windows closed, and the keyholes stopped, and each nigger with an old he skunk in his arms, than with a modern Democrat.” Exchange, All a matter of taste, Mr. J.
