Jltsl öur meo turned out and voted, the .election would lave been carried bjr the usual majorities. Most of tliem, through apithr, remained aws j from tbe polls, while the Demoerets turntd outen motte.', Wo Jiar elected Republics, Governor ' in Ohio, lot baie lost the Legislature, uLith secures DetuocTatio U. 3. Senator in plac of B a Wade. Ia Pennsjlvooia we .bavo'tbt Legislature, while the Democrats Tested the Supreme Judge. Iowa his gone Jiepublicin bj 30,000 msjoritj. . The Democratic' talk about gains in Indiana is II buiubuj. Our defeai is not to bad after all. ' . Jn this coqnection we copy the sol joined paragraph from tho Cincinnati Gazette: ", The Democratic' party have quite as touch difficult in coming to a rational ex .ptanation of the lesson of the election, aud of the issues it has decided. Thejr talk of nie popular reaction; but we see Dowbero aoy iuereasö. iu the Democratic . vote. Certainty there id not a reaction to the Democratipartj. It is in the same tuioritjr still. In Hamilton countj wbicb is a sample of the State thejr hare not in crcisad their vote.' Kven the growth of population baa brought them no increase. Au obuoxiotM exhibition of Democrat j in pwltlw sets will quickly unite this majoriif and place the minority again in x retirement, if the arguments ud in the can ms denote- the i?sues that the election Las decided, the cbief one ta to issue greenbacks without limit, sud force the bond 1öldrS to receive them. But this is an issue for national politics, and the Eastern .Democracy drnounce the scheme as one to plunder the people bj inflating prices and destroying the currency. So the party Is divided agaiust itself, and the controlling part is agtiost this issue. And fur th eruiore a llepublican Congress has coutrol of thif iMui for ibe next two jeara, u the' Ilouib, sod for an indefinite pri uJ ia th Lenste, 'so that if the Democrats could a-rco oa this it would be tnipractiosble. Let us learn a lesson, tura oat next year, and elect Grant by an overwhelming UinjorWjr. 1 ' ' THE EAST. FORK RAILROAD. Uy notico in this week's paper it will be seen thai poblio attention is again called lo this enterprise. We are not thoroughly posted in all the detail connected with ibe-subjeet, bat .understand that a very favorable opportunity presents itself lo the people of the Kt Fork Valley to scoure the ' tönstroction of this very important workv and thus place themselves on the great, North and South line of Kailrosd eoanectio the Gulf-States with the extreme Northern Staref. It is'lnowo that the people' of Richmond and, those North have been laboring for years to construe,'. Railroad from Richmond to. Ft. Wajne, a distance of 86 .miles.' Within 'the last two jears tie it f Richmond, in tlialr nrnnrtl rra. - , . ,7 r r it j, with a unanimity rarely equaled, have appropriated one hundred and fifty - thou land dollars for this road by private subscriptions. ' -Üercit liens within the sauie period have raided over thirty thousand more.- Wells County this Summer appropriated one hundred thousand dollars for the as ma purpose, and the City and people of Fl Wäjno. stand ready to raise another one hundred thousand dollars. This, with a' road-bed for the entiro length, already nearly completed and psid for, secures the road beyond doubt. North of Ft. Wsyoe a company organ iced some ) ears back are vigorously constructing their road from Ft. Wajue, 350 toilea, to the Straits of laokinaw, with a land grant from Congress of about one and a quarter million acres. , Jlr. Lord, controlling the road from Itrook ville to Cincinnati, propoyea ts ' aid the coosirtwtitfu f tK road from Drookville to Ricbniond, a distance of 30 miles, thus filling up the gap, and throwing the entire binea of the long line dowu the Kant Fork Valley aud making it one of the great iijhiciy$ of tho West. Hitherto this beautiful and fertile Valley Las been neglected, and in the enterprise of the ago she is at least twenty years behind the times. It takes mooey, and a large amoanf of it, to make a Kailrosd, and, left to herself alone, the people of the Valley could not make,. the road. Ilicbtnuui aires J hü a road to Cincinnati via Eaton and Hamilton; but to secure this Kreut Northern trade and traffic, Mr. Lord will aid the people of the Valley to make this liok in, tho chaio. Mr. Lord cannot afford to, and wilt not do it all. It is proposed that if the friends atonj the line will relinquish or procure the right. of way, and raise ooe' hundred thousand Julian, to bt paid when the road I done, the work shall be completed. (This it within the" reach aud ability of the frieodaoftLe enterprise, and should at t nee be raised and coomplihtd. ' Tbetw must and should be a united eifjrt aloog the entire line'. Let the'ptcpte awjke fiotu their Kip Vau Winkle

slumber and demonstrate that they appreciate their own rrne interests. Let there be do banging back, no -divided counsels, no personal or ptivato ends to accomplish. First the' road tho : East Fork Valley road secured be youd t doubt or cavil, and then attend to details and precisely when tod how it shall run. No enquiries or bickerings on' miner4 points now, - Look at the notice culling public meet' ings along the line; remember the time; attend these meetings promptly and fully; go there with liberal views and determination; act vigorously and unitedly, and tho work ia done. Let this opportunity be neglected then farewell hope, farewell prosperity. ,

REPLY TO R. H. SWIFT. Last'wcek a communication appeared in the columns of the Franklin Democrat tnd Richmond fulhdium, signed Ii. II. Swift, and addressed to tho Editor of the Richmond True Rtpullican, replying to an article which sometime ago appeared in the latter paper and which had been copied into the Democrat. It seems that the Editor of the 7V Rrpubfican had ascertained and published the fact that Mr. Swift was the writer of the article which had appeared through mistake on our part as an editorial in the columns of tho Indiana American, , headed "Watchman, what of the night?" which article was intended to commit the 'American sgainst lion. Geo. W. Julian as the Republican candidate for the next Congress in the new -1th District, before Mr. Julian bad even made Lis appearance among our people The readers of the yfmcr icon will remember that in the very next issue tfler the sppearance of thst article we explained how it happened to be published as editorial, and at the same time disavowing its su thorship and stating that it should have appesred as a communication. Mr. Swift intimates that the True Pe publican charges him with having "surrep titiously" obtained its insertion in the editorial columns of the American. .This charge Mr. Swift denies, and ia giving his explanation bow the articlo happened to appear as editorial, states emphatically that ' we read the article' in manuscript, in his office, in. bis presence, ''smilingly approved jt,V adopted it as our own, used it as our leader, at our own option and without bis solicitation, and then goes 6u to say that in publishing our ' Explanatory" the next week we hastened to "go back" on our very recent record, calling in question our consistency ' and honor, and insinuating that we ' were "bought up," that a "consideration" was brought to besruponns. ' Let us state the facts. lie had prsviously suggested to us that inasmuch as others had written aome of his editorials while he was Editor of the American, we might allow him to write some editorials for - tjs The suggestion appeared plsoxible to us, and we adopted it, requesting him to write occasionally, not us pecting be intended to impose upon us. He tent in i few local items, which were inserted among the other locals. Presuming upon our kindness and courtesy, and thinking that wo supposed him to be our friend, be invited us into his office at a time when be ought to have known that we were verj busy in getting the paper to press, (being our own foreman and preinraan.) at a time, ton, wheu ho ought to have known that tho paper for that wek waa about full, and that the insertion of bis article would be an annoyance and interruption. We accepted the invitation and went into lm office; he handed us e piece of manuscript; the handwriting was familiar; we hurriedly glanced it over; tried to smile and , appear in a good humor; probably pronounced it "all right," as we wished to accommoda him; took tho articlo and quickly plaeed it in type. Dnt know whether the proof waa read er not. '' Not knowing the full purport or intent of the article, it appeared as editorial. . ' Upon careful 'consideration,' however, while working off the edition, we concluded we "sme't a ra'." The leader , was a mcst carefully and shewdly written article, heavy on J ulian, and wss intended probably as the first of a series against him. A plan had been secretly .concocted: Julian must be gotten out of the way; bo was "a bore of contention;" be intended to speak in this County very oon; the American must be committed against him before be comes; he most meet with a eold reception. Never having heard Mr. Julian's views, and having only a very brief acquaintance which little knowledge 6f him wo must aay had impressed us quite favorably towards him we concluded it would bo treating him unfairly, not to say doing him a great injustice, to endeavor to prejndiue the mi ads of the people against htm before they ha 1 an opportunity of sec ingand hearing him. It was too late, however, to correct the mistake that week, and ao we determined to explain the mat tcr In the next week's paper. Our ''Explanatory" appeared in tho next issue, and ia it we invited Mr. Julian lo make our people a visit, which he afterwards did. Our readers appeared perfectly ssiUfied with our course, and thus Mr. Swift failed to rule the editorial columns of . the Indiana American. We owe our readers en spology for in trading ro much personal matter. upon them iu ibis article, but we feel it du to purself to correct, tiro misrepresentations which Mr. Swift has thought, prop, to publish concerning us tn the cotamns'ot the Dci)uctii an 1 Pufladium. ' We have

M

no regrets for the course we have pursued in rhts matter, as we have endeavored to act fairly and honorably in shielding. Mr. Julian from the underhanded advantage which was sought to bo gained over bVm in one of the new Counties of his District. Tho Indiana American M always open to a presentation of the claims of the various aspirants for Congress in this District, but we wish it distinctly understood that there must be fair play and "no gouging." Though we shall endeavor to control our own editorial columns, we are alwajs glad to receive respectful communications from whatever source.

Indiana Election. . . Tho vote in Indiana is small, but tho Republicans hold their own. The Democracy cannot rejoice a morsel at the result iu the Ilooslcr State. New York. ' Reports from New York indicate that t!ie Republicans there are working together harmoniously for the State ticket, and have a good prospect of success, in spite of the Ohio and Pennsylvania defection.; . Kentucky. Tho Election Committee of the House of Representatives baa beeu pursuing Its investigations into the loyalty of tho Kentucky members elect, at Lexington, since Friday last. It will finish its labors at that place during the present week, and open its sesiion at Louisville on Monday next,' . Impeachment. The Sub judiciary Committee which has the investigation of Maryland sflairs in charge, met in Washington, on Monday, and talked over tho matter of impeachment. None of tho Republicans who have favored impeachment heretofore have changed their miud, and it is said that evidence of the roost damaging character has been obtained since the last session of Congress 7.30 Donds Counterfeited. Counterfeit cet-thirty bonds of the kaue of June, 1SG5, have been discovered. Tho chief clerk of the Treasury first detected them. They are pronounced ' the best counterfeit ever made of a Govern ruent security. The amount out has not been , ascettaineJ. They bavo pawed through the hands of the chief bankers ir New York, and came to that city from Pittsburg, Cleveland, Springfield, and other Western cities.. . , Two packages of the counterfeit 7 SO bonds rcrc received in New York on Friday from the West. Tho first lot ever received came from Leavenworth, September 17th, but lately most have coruo from liuflulo. New points of difference between the genuine and spurious 7-30 have been discovered at Washington. . About $ 70.000 of the counterfeit notes have been offered at the Treasury. The New York liauka refuse to receive back the bad notes which were sent from their establUhmeut, and intend to contest their liability to replsco Deiiorest'b .vi'ocNa America.''

ILLINOIS CORRESPONDENCE. Lincoln, III., Oct. 8th, 18G7. Dear American 'li seems to toe that I owe you a letter, and I may as well pay my debts. You will see by the namo at the top ofthe pagfr that we ' are not at Bloomington, and I presume we have left there permanently. The College thero is not'equal to'theone! you. have in your midst, save in pretensions, and we are not SOrry to bo out of it.. Tho city of Lincoln, where the', Conference tent us, ia about thirty miles from Springfield, and about the same distance froiu Bloomington 00 the Chicago aid Alton Railroad. Twtlvo years ago it was a brosd and unbroken prairie, but to-day it claims a population of five thousand. Having been hero.. so short a time, I cannot give many etstistics or fret concerning our city. We have, I believe, eight churches, four hotels, a good courthouse, four city parks, severul schoolhouses, and a fine Collego havii g over two hundred studeuta under the care ofthe Cumberland Prcubyteriaos. Tho Methodist CI urch is the strongest in the city, and we propo0 -build a church costing 515, 0UU, aa soon as pobsible.. Our Parson aje is on the axnie lot with the Church, and is only oTie block from the court-hou-e, and only three squares from the Depot. Jut-t now we are in some disorder, and I write surrounded by boxes, trunks, Ac, for thehoujo is being repainted throughout, intide and out, and aIo re-papered; a oew cellar and cistern and kitchen are under way, and the property is to have a new fence next - week. We have never had as nice a hou-e to live in before, and our salary is more than doublo any we ever received as preacher folks. The way the peuckes, potatoes, eggs, honey, etc., have been sent iu, is a queer thing to lloosiers, and we never before met with so kind und cordial a reception. I write thee personal matters because 1 have no time to write to inj correspondents buch things as they otk for. We hope to have a pleasant time. I have a neighbor who has a $3U0 dog. and guns, and who will take mo next week alter prairie chickens. We go to-morrow after fish. Last week he caught a pike three feet long, sod yesterday two men brought to town four hundred pounds of pike and buffalo, and we had a splendid pike for dinner to-day. Dr. llavruond and John Adair would have glorious times here just now. ; Politically we are here what Illinois is pcnerslly, all right, and ai soon as Jeff. Dm vi is hung and his fellow.luborer, A. Johnson lq , is turned out, tbe psople will feel as cood as Methodists at a catvjmeeting. We buve had the U-ual affliction of County fairs humbugs, the whole race j of them and l.aso-tall . totments" have beru all tbe rne recently. I played but-e-ball it half a dy, more or Ices, and needed machinery next day to help me move. 1 gave up my bat and have felt better. - Next letter will hardly be so personal, and will be along sooner than litis has been. Yours, W. R. G. Shelby County Construction of tho Registry Law. The .Repubi-un cundidate for clerk of cuclby county rmivcu a majority ol tbe votes cast, but as the tickets uücd in one towusbip had a priutcd heading, showing their party chancier, the judges of tho cleo tion threw thou out, thus giving a small nmjoriiy to tbe Ccpperbcad caodidate. 'flu will furnish an opportunity to obtain a judicial construction ofthe section ofthe registry law under wruch these ballots were thrown out, after having been received and deposited iu the box by tho proper officer. The tenth section of tbe law reads as follows: -That all ballots which msy be cast at any election in this State shall be wiittcn or printed on plain while paper, without any dietiuguiiibing mark or embellishuieut thereon exce pt the names of tho tatididute.end the office for which they are voted for, aud inspectors of elections bhall rclu-eall ballots goffered of any other des-ctiptiou: 'rvtiJctt, that nothing herein contained shall disqualify tin voter fioui writing his own name on tho bsck thereof," Tho question a rues here, whether an inspector after laving received a ballot, t noted on pUin white paper, as provided y law, can legally rclu-o to count it for tho candidates named? If t colored ticket is offered by a vster, the Uw makes it the duty of tho inspector to refuse it. If it has a device upou it visible to tho inspector when offered, be uiutrrject it. Iu these cares the voter 1 prevented from cabling a ballot not in .conformity with the law, but is not subjected to tho Ions of his vote, lie may, on Icing advi-ed of the delect, procure another ticket ithoutsuth distinguishing: mark, and vote that. The ballot la to lot refused tchtn offered, and there is no warraut in the, law lor throwing it out or ret using to count it after it baa been leeched. ; . -Hkciioalaws areuctandthould not be so strictly construed as to deptive voters of their nubts upon technical objections. Tbe 27th section of the election law of I832ia aiiu firforce, not rtjuled-by the registry law, and that provides that ''no ticket .hall be lost for want of form, if tie board of judges can determine, to their satUluction, tho person voted for aud the office intended." Another rcction of that law, which is still iu forte, provides that the inspector hall put the ticket unopened into tho ballot box. lie cannot, I lieu lure, tee what is in side of it until tbe counting takes place. sua u is too bile ttien to rciut-c ilu vote, for it has slready been received and tbe Vote-re name rocorded. The object of the tenth section of the registry law was to prevent the party character of the ticket irvm being kuowu by the color, of by any device upon the outside thereof, and it is made tho duty of the inspector to refuse all such ballota when pret-cnted ty a voter. A party designation on the face of tho ticket, which can not bo seen when the ballot is folded, docs not como within tho mischief ioteuded to bo remedied, and, it seems to us, docs not justify an inspector in refusing to count it after it has been received. At all events, the question should be judicially settled, and we hope tho candidate in Shelby county, who loses by the strict construction which the law U reputed to bave received thtie, will briojr it before the proper tribu tal for-decision. .

Reactions, Historically Considered, j From ths Cbto jo Tribun. J The Republican party Ins experienced reactions" before. This is a very mild and light viMtation to that which it endured In It was struck with a blast that year which its opponents claimod would tend it to tha bottom, but it quickly righted up and sailed triumphantly into port. Did tbe 'mighty reaction" f that year stop the war, or chstge the purpose of the llcpublicans to emancipate the slaves and enlist them as soldiers in tho army? That was the issue. The great work of emancipation was not by any means ss far advanced when the elections of C2 were held aa tho work of reconstruction is now. It was the fall when a new Congress was to be elected. The object of the Copperheads was to force the i 'resident to recall tho cmsncipaiion proclamation; they crgued the unconstitutienality of it, and drew dismsl pictures of tho 'war of races" which mubt ensue, and ofthe "wholesalo butchery of iuuoront wliite women and children bj savage, ignorant niggers thst inevitably would result d'rom that incendiary abolitiou decree." The 'independent floaters' ' were prodigiously alarmed by these evil prognostications,' and fiightcncd at tbe bloodshed and discouraged by the defeats sustained by McClellan, Ruell, and other contcrvativo Democratio Generale, and so badly were thee ' timid souls scared that they bolted their party and voted the Copperhead ticket. Just recsll tbe result of tht year's election: . " llsii'0 gave but 0,025 Republican roojori ty, and ooe Copperhead was elected to Congress. New' Hampshire gave 3,798 Democratic mnjority lor Governor;' and elected one Democrat to Congress. New York went Copperhead on the

State ticket by 10,753, electing Seymour (jovtruor, and seventeen members of Con gicss ofthe same ilk against ouly fourteen llcpublicans. i'ennIvania went Copperhead by 3 524, and elected thirteen Copperheads to Con urcss, against eleven Republicans. New Jcifcey voted the samo way by 14,51)7 majoiity, and elected four top pcrbtads to Congicsj to one Republi can. Ohio went Copperhead by 5,777, and elected fourteen opperhead Cougress men against five Republicans. India!. a went' Copperhead by 0,51, and elected seven ' Copperheads against four Republicans. Illinois went Copperhead by 10,5 IC, and elected nine Copperheads to five Re publicans. Iu Michigan the Republican majority was cut down to 0,01 J, uud one Congressman was lost. Wisconsin went Copperhead 1,177 votes, and elected three Copperhead Congress men against time Republicans. . The Copperhead orgarsand demagogues were perfectly wild over thci?e tremendous 'gains" and "popular revolutions." Rut what beut fit did they derive from them? Were i Ley able to stop the war? or arrest eu.uncipaiioii? or prevent the tuij ley u.eu t of negroes aa toldiers? or revoke thu bab.us corpus iu.-pensloti? or resinre the C'ouscrvative Generals to the command of the armies? or lo stop voluntcerii g? No, not one of them. Toe war was prosecuted with more vigor than beloro. Emancipation was pcrlected, and tljck soldicis wore enli.ted; the draft was nfurccd, and tho treasonable Copperheads were arrested and put into Forts Warren and Lafayette. At the subsequent l'ieideulial election there was a rwii'g buck of the politicsl pendulum, and tbe Copperhead parly were vrut-hingly defeated. Every fctuto which was loht in lbCJ was recovered iu lbGJ, except New Jertcy. Tbe so culled icaction of ibis fall is no more to be compared to that of läo'J thnn a frech brette with a hurricane which prostrates everything in its march. The New York Tribune on the Result. The Tribune tsys: Ohio on Tuesday pavo more votes, and a larger proportion of her Republican strength for manhood tuffrugc than any other tato haa ever given more by rever al thousand than she would ever have giveu tilt now. Tho vital principle of genu ine Democracy will march ou through seeming defeat. tj inevitable and conclusive triumph Through whatever triaUot its cotijtancy its consistency the grcut p:irty will move right on to the arduous but inevitable achievement of equal rights for all. ' Tho State Fair. We learn thut tho State Fair was a grand success financially, and in many other respects; but it also demonstrated the folly of (coating euik exhibitions iu cities to small that thcto are really no ao commodalions for "man or beast." The fuirs should be held at the Capital, in or der that they may bo of advantage to tho people of every section.
