HEWS OF THE WEEK.

FOREIGN NEWS. Eugenie has sold for £IOO,OOO her ▼ill* at Biarritz, and it will be cut up into building lota. It is stated that the Porte is sending troops to the Greek frontier. The Greeks threaten to declare war if the Turks do not immediately withdraw. A London dispatch says the latest news from Cabul, received at Simla, is entirely satisfactory. It does not support the rumor prevalent last week of the murder of the Ameer and reign of anarchy. Earl Malmesberry, 74 years of age, has married Miss Hamilton, a lady of 24. Carlyle has again been forced to cease work on his autobiography. The British coasting steamer Elemore, with fifteen persons on board, was lost in the recent gale. Another South American revolution is announced. Ventimilia, the President of the Republic of Ecuador, has been deposed and his Government disbanded. Parnell and Dillon and thirteen other Land-Leaguers have been indicted in Dublin, and will lie tried in that city about Christmas. Hard times are being endured by the Hocialists of Germany. Eight'.' members of the organization have been expelled from Hamburg, and twenty families have been forced to leave Altona. Some time ago a band of about 200 robbers plundered the Brazilian town of Jaunaria, and got away with their booty. The hiding-place of the gang has just been discovered and broken up, about sixty of the marauders being killed. There are heavy operations in British consols, which are selling at par, the highest price sine ■ the Crimean war. A syndicate in Paris will make an advance of £4,000,C00 to Greece on security of its monastic mid state lands. By the breaking of a hoisting apparatus in a Belgian mine thirteen men were killed.. The German Government refuses to accede to the request of Count Von Arnim for a suspension of sentence and a trial for high treason. The English Channel Squadron has been ordered to Ireland. The Government evidently anticipate trouble in the Green isle. The Land-Leaguers, however, have issued an address in which they declare their agitation to bo thoroughly legal and peaceful, and that it will lie maintained in that way till their object is attained. Land League meetings arc being held in all parts of Ireland, at which speeches of defiance are indulged in by the orators. A band of 100 men, part of whom are armed, are traversing the country near Tralee, Ireland, forcing the tenants to swear to pay only a certain low rent. Among the Socialists expelled from Germany are Herr Hartmann, a member of the Reichstag from Hamburg, Herr Auer, a Haxon Deputy, and the whole editorial staff of the Socialist paper, thefr’eric/i/.s-Zei/miy. The Shah of Persia has appealed to the Czar for help in lighting the Kurds, which will be granted under limitation. The excitement in Ireland growing out of the Land League prosecutions is becoming intense. A Land League meeting at Athlone on Sunday, the 7th inst., was attended by 20,000 of the Irish peasantry, some of whom walked fifty miles to be present. Parnell bitterly condemned the billeting of police upon districts where semi-starvation prevails, and urged his countrymen to agitate unceasingly until they became the owners of the soil. Timothy O’Sullivan hurled among the people a copy of his indictment, and it was torn into fragments. A meeting in the County Cork was interrupted by an ex-leaguer, who, with an organized party, stormed the platform and denounced the agitation as a humbug. The dispatching of the channel licet to the Irish coast caused indescribal le excitemi nt in Dublin. The city of Tokio, in Japan, has been vi-itid by a de. triiclive.hurricane, 1,000 houses being demolished, and hundreds of fishermen drowned in the bay. There will, after all, be no war between Russia mid China, the latter nation being utterly unprepared for such business. Edwin Booth has made his first appearance before a London audience. “ Hamlet ” was the play. His acting excited great enthusiasm, and he was called before the curtain at the end of every act. Nearly all the Socialists expelled from Hamburg have betaken themselves to London. Lord Colin Campbell, M. P., son of the Duke of Argyll and brother to the Marquis of Lome, will soon marry an heiress, Miss Blood. The Basuto rebellion seems to be extending to all the South African tribes, and in order to cope with it the colonists are calling for large reinforcements. China is laying out a telegraph line from Pekin to Shanghai. The six days’ pedestrian contest for the Astley belt at London was won by Rowell, the English champion, who covered 566 miles. Doblcr, the American contestant, made only 450 miles.

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE. "El Mt. In the Philp trial at New York, on the Ist inst., the prosecution introduced the Postmaster of Lynn, Mass., who testified that no such person as H. L. Morey ever lived in Lynn, and that no such an organization as the Employers’ Union ever existed there. Hon. Abram 8. Hewitt, for the defense, testified that in his opinion the Morey letter was in Gen. Garfield’s handwriting. Philp then took the stand and swore that he did not write the letter. 8. L. Morey, of Lawrence, Mass., was introduced as a witness and testified to the existence of such a man as H. L. Morey, who, he said, was his uncle, and that he had lived at Lynn and other places in Massachusetts. The witness also swore that he had been offered SIOO not to come to New York and testify in the case. The examination was then adjourned to Thursday, Nov. 4. A terrible street-car accident is reported from New Brighton, near New York city. A car filled with sixty passengers—men. women and children—was hurled down a hill almost as fast as an express train and dashed into a heavy post. The car was frightfully demol-Twenty-five to thirty persons were mojo or Mwinjured, and the wounds of several may prove fatal. A stove factory at Quakertown, Pa., has been burned, the loss being $140,000. Long Island farmers are making large shipments, of Newtown pippins to England, where they realize $9 per barrel. The trial of Philp, charged with forg ing the Morey letter, was resumed at New York on tlio 4th inst., and Hart, the publialier of TrvOt, testified that the letter came to him

RENSSELAER. JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1880.

The Senatorial race in Ohio promises to be an interesting one. Gov. Charles Foster, Judge Alphoiiso Taft and Stanley Matthews are the most prominent aspirants. Gen. Hancock, says a New York dispatch, has been so sadly overworked during the canvass that his friends are in some alarm at his condition. He is a .man of full habit, and has been so closely confined for some time, and so hard at work at his office and campaign duties, and taken so little recreation, and been suffering so much from repeated colds and chest and throat troubles, that he must rest now for some time. His most intimate friends are really anxious about lum. At a meeting of the Tammany Hull general committee, in New York, an address to the Democracy of the country was read, claiming Hancock’s defeat was due to fraud, intimidation and the use of enormous sums of mojjcj, by the Republicans. Mr. Van Wyck moved an amendment that Hancock’s defeat was due to the mismanagement and bickering of the Democratic leaders in Kings county and New York city. Thomas F. Grady, Col. Roberts, and others opposed the amendment, Henry Steinert advocated the amendment, and said people no longer wanted Boss Kelly, and he should resign. Some hot discussion was followed by rejection of the amendment and adoption of a resolution indorsing the leadership of Kelly. Five of the members of the Legislature elected in Tennessee are colored men. The candidates for United States Senator from Wisconsin to succeed Senator Cameron are the Hon. Philetus Sawyer, the Hon. E. W. Keyes, ex-Senator Howe, the Hon. Horace Rublee, and several dark horses. Gen. Ben Harrison, Hon. John C. New, Hon. Will Cumback, Congressman Orth and Judge Gresham are candidates for United States Senator in Indiana. Favorite sons are being put forward already for Cabinet positions. Pennsylvania has three to offer—Senator Don Cameron, the Hon. Galusha A. Grow and Mr. Quay. Nebraska will present Senator Hitchcock, Massachusetts Gov. J. J>. Long, and so on.

The Republican gains have been so unexpected that a sensation uas produced when it became known that the Republicans had probably elected forty-seven members to the Legislature, when it was anticipated that they would pot have more than 33 at best. Tbi.-j will be a gain for the Republicans of 26 members. They will lack only 4 votes of having a majority. For Congress, Moore, Republican, has been elected over Casey Young, Democrat, in the Tenth district. The election of Pettibone, Republican, over Taylor, Democrat, iu the First, is conceded. KENTUCKY. Louisville, Nov. 2.—Tho Democrats carry the State by the usual majority and secure all tho members of Congress.

Therefore, I w.li cciitent myself with sayihg that personally i ■’<> not feel badly because I am not elected. Oi cour.-e., I regret that the Democratic party, of which I am proud to be a member, has been ('efcaled. It is a great.disappointment to all of us whi n we fail to gain a victory iu behalf of the faith and principles which we advocate. It i; my wish that it bo understood that I have no grief on my own account. The man who assumes the duties pertaining to the Presidency of the United States has a momentous task to perform, ’ “ Whom do you b’ame for your defeat ? ” . “ Certainly not my friends, and it was perfectly natural that mypcliticul opponents should woik for their own interests.” “ But, General, some of your friends have said that ” “Ob, nevermind,” interrupted Gen. Hancock, “the campaign is over, and the true Christian spirit is to forgive and forget.’’ “ It is claimed on your behalf. General, that, although you will not have sufficient votes in the Electoral College to make you I’rcsident, you have received a majority of the popular vote of the country.” “That may be so. Wc shall know when the exact election returns are in from all the rural districts in the different States. But, be that as it may, I have the pleasure of knowing that I have hundreds of thousands of true friends, who tendered me the compliment of their votes To merit the esteem and kind wishes of these people is the desire nearest my heart. I have always tried to faithfully serve my country in the past, and it is my earnest intention to pursue the same policy in the future, whatever may be nay station in life.”

A pair of woolly elephants, the finest ever brought to this country, have been landed at New York. The larger of the two is thirty-six inches high, while the smaller scarcely measures six inches in height. They are thought to be about 6 years old. The chief peculiarity of these elephants is the fact that they are covered with a thick black wool or hair, especially about the crown of the head, the back, and the legs. Tho wool is two or three inches long, They were capL ured in the Malay peninsula"

WHAT HAS THE COUNTRY GAINED ?

[From the New York World.] The country will have time enough, and we fear reason enough, to reflect on the causes of the defeat of Gen. Hancock. It is sufficient. to-day to point out some of the more obvious and general of these causes. The tariff issue which the Republican orators and journalists, without knowing or caring what it meant, imagined would be useful to them as a means of frightening business men, equally ignorant, to a great extent superseded the tection•l issue in the manufacturing districts' of the Eastern States. But, taking the = ountry through, it is evident that “the solid South ” was still the bugbear upon which the Republicans most successTheir appeal was to sectionnl hateiind hatred of a section which had been fairly beaten in battle, and to fear of a section which Senator Conkling, the most conspicuous advocate of the Republican cause, devoted his speeches to showing is too weak to be in any way formidible. That Americans should have been moved to vote for a candidate like Garfield by appeals of this kind does not speak well either for their magnanimity or for their intelligence. The cry of “ the solid South ” is the more curious since, practically, the sectional * ‘ issue ” is not an issue at all in a political sense. A political issue is raised when one party proposes a policy or a system of laws which the other party opposes, or when one party proposes the repeal of legislation by which the other party stands. What issue of that kind was raised by the Republican campaign orators ? The laws providing for the Federal control of elections will undoubtedly be repealed by the Democrats if the Democrats ever have power to repeal them, but these laws are not sectional. They are simply devices to enable the party in control of the ad ministration to swindle the opposition in communities in which the opposition has a majority of voters. This is perfectly well understood, and, except publicly, is not denied. These laws are simply part of the party machine and have nothing to do with the purposes which parties are organized to promote. They will be used against the East or the West, just as they have been used against the South, whenever the occasion arises. One would have imagined, to hear the Republican speakers talk, that they seriously proposed to do something about the South, but they do not. The logical consequence of their position is that the reconstruction laws should be revived, and the South remanded to a condition of tutelage and of government by Major Generals, such as it was subjected to in 1867. But in point of fact no measure looking to that end has been advocated or so much as introduced by any Republican in Congress or elsewhere. The collapse of the reconstruction laws in 1877 was final and complete. Mr. Hayes withdrew the troops from the South with the acquiescence of the whole of his own par ty, the leaders of winch were alienated, not by that action, as to which he plainly had no alternative, but by the spasmodic and somewhat ridiculous attacks he made upon their own power. Gen. Grant would equally have been compelled to withdraw the troops. The failure of Republican reconstruction was confessed in 1877. If Grant means through Garfield to try the experiment again in 1881 he has kept his intention a secret, and his secret has been as well guarded as the conspiracy of the South and the Democrats of the North to pay the “ rebel claims.” If it was really proposed to revive the reconstruction acts the proposition would of course be infamous—as infamous as Mr. Conkling’s plea that the North ought to side with the Republican party by reason of the poverty to which the Republican party had reduced the South. Nobody disputes that the South has been more prosperous, more orderly and more valuable to the Union since the failure of the Republican reconstruction was confessed and the attempt at reconstruction abandoned than it was when every Southern white man was compelled to be a politician in order to protect himself from being plundered by the negroes and carpet-baggers whom the Republican party had set over him, and when negroes and carpet-baggers represented the Southern States in Washington. The attempt to disturb this order and to check this prosperity by a revival of the reconstruction laws would be an outrage which the whole country would resent. But was it any the less outrageous, was it not rather more outrageous. to make a sectional campaign without an object ? Yet no Republican orator and no Republican journal between June and November proposed a single object to be attained as the result of an agitation in itself mischievous. Ask the first Republican you meet why he voted for Garfield, and the chances are nine in ten that he -will tell you he meant to rebuke the spirit of the South. He will admit, if he is an intelligent and honest man, that the candidate of his party is tainted and that it went against bis grain to vote for him. But if you ask him what Gen. Garfield can do to rebuke the assumed spirit of the solid South, such a Republican will own that Garfield can do nothing. It is not even the acts of the Southern people ,to which the stalwarts have objected, for the freshest “ political murder” charged by the stalwarts upon the South is at least three years old—but to the supposed “sentiment” of the South. “Woe be to us,” as Gen. Hancock wrote to Pease, “ whenever it shall come to pass that the power of the magistrate, civil or military, is permitted to deal with the mere opinions or feelings of the people.” Now that Gen. Garfield is elected he cannot interfere to undo again what Hayes has done with the virtual consent of all parties. There is in fact no way in which the General Government can now do anything whatever toward the practical settlement, or rather the practical rmsettlement, of the Southern question, and the sectional agitation has, therefore, been carried on for its own sake and for the sake of the Republican placemen who have succeeded in keeping their places by means of it. For their sake the country has been invited to divide against itself and to blow into fresh flame the embers of the war, which would long ago have died out if left alone. For their sake the shame of seating in the chair at Washington a politician whom the leaders of his own party despise has been incurred by the greatest republic in the world.

dent. It appears as we write Chat the effect of the October election was too potent to be overcome. This October effect has never failed to make itself felt in our Presidential election. While Pennsylvania was an October the other States followed Pennsylvania like sheep jumping down a precipice. Tho methods by which Ohio and Indiana M ere carried in October are Juiown to the country. It was these methods, therefore, that won the election yesterday, fbr we assume that it is lost to the Democracy. What has triumphed? SeetippnJjsm has triumphed; Chinese cheap labor has triumphed; the ceei;cioH of the white workingman has triumphed ; fjdpehood in newspapers and on the stump has triumphed ; eentraiijKation*has triumphed; the empire it victory of the strong man his "fescue in Ohio and Indiana before the 12th of October, and in whose hands he is. We cheerfully announce to the people of the United States, or the large portion of them who will read this issue of our journal, that we can endure these victories if they can endure them. Wo are certainly in as good a position to suffer them as the laboring men of the United States. We shall continue business at the old stand, notwithstanding the transient triumph of a cause which ought not to be the victor. Who and what have been beaten ? A brave Union soldier, heroic in battle. A noble and splendid lover of civil liberty in peace has been defeated. The beautiful sentiment of reunion, the harmonious impulses that should fill the hearts of the people of one country have been for the moment crushed. 11 is disclosed by the methods we have indicated that Union is not wanted. It is announced that the great rivers that flow like arteries through this continent to the gulf, bearing upon their bosoms the rich argosies of an industrious people, begin in one country and end in another. That was the commanding argument of the canvass, and that is the interpretation to be placed upon the verdict. This, therefore, is not the triumph in which the patriotic American finds cause for exultation. There is in victory no flavor of fraternity, no gentle belief that this country is to be one in the affections of the future, as it is one in history, in interest, in geography, in beauty. The Republican party in conducting this campaign and this election have done all that they could do to destroy this sentiment of Union. ***** But the triumph of yesterday is not permanent. The Democratic principle, the idea which .underlies our system of government, is as lasting as thecontinent on which that Government dwells. The Democratic party, old as the country, can survive the defeats of a quarter of the century. It has “ Sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat”— while the republic lives it will live. If the country seems now at the feet of aspirit of centralization, of centralized power that does not differ from the empire, it. is in spite of Democratic protest; and the Democratic party, notwithstanding this temporary reverse, will falter not from its lofty spirit; will fail not in its final purpose ; will continue its splendid march in the cause of the people against power in the cause of Democracy. There is a story of a people who were forty years in the wilderness. They were engaged in no better cause that that of Democracy on earth. Tho Democratic party is one of invincible hope ; and it has belief in the doctrine : Bight fotever on the pcafl'old. Wrong forever on the throne, But that scaffold awaye the future, And behind the dint unknown Standeth God within the ehadow, Keeping watch above Hie own. And the Democratic party is forever opposed to the throne.
