The second national election since the close of the war, ' it is sec. ond in importance to no election which has preceded it ; for on its result depends the continuation of the policy which suppressed the rebellion, preserved the Union, invested all citizens of the United States with equal political and civil rights, and avoided alike the shoals of too great an expansion of the currency and the breakers of sudden and violent resumption of specie payment. The defeat of the Republican party now would result in the overthrow of its great measures and the triumph of the enemies of impartial suffrage and equal rights. It would reopen the question of races and lead to animosities and persecutions more bitter than any the country has ever been cursed with. It is hardly proper to say that this election is in regard to policies of administration. It goes deeper, and will decide on the perpetuity of the principle of equal rights just made completely manifest during the present administration, although proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence. In the past four Presidential elections the Democratic party has contended that the "all men free and equal" docs not embrace men of the colored race; and although they have modified their utterance somewhat in the present canvass, their most bitter contention is due to the fact that the colored voters of the South have and use a political influence in accordance with their numbers. If the Democratic party succeeds next Tuesday, it is a declaration that a majority composed of whites and colored shall not prevail against a minority wholly or almost wholly white a principle which affects white men as much as the colored men w ho are proscribed. Another important matter is the fact that the defeat of the Republican party at this time, and under the present circumstances, will be an implied rebuke of the war for the Union and those most zealous in it3 prosecution, and the approval or indorsement of those who took part in or sympathized with the rebellion. "While it is true that there are many who served on the Union siJe who now support Greeley, it is clear that a great part of the army, and nearly all of the Great Union party which sustained it are in the Republican party and earnestly working for the re-election of Grant. While it is true that some prominent rebel and anti-war leaders, and a small portion of their followers, are now supporting the Republican party, the great part of the rebel army and the bulk of the Copperhead party of the North arc supporting Greeley. If Grant is re-elected about all the officers of the Government will be men who cither fought for the Union or supported the army by active sympathy and contributions at home. If Greeley is elected the majority of the offices of the Government will be filled by men who either fought on the rebel side or aided it by expressions of sympathy, or faultfindings with the prosecution of the war for the Union. Is it a safe precedent to set before the youth of the country, that in the very second Presidential term after Jhe suppression of a great rebellion, all sapporters of the Government against the rebellion were turned out of Government offices to make room for persons who had been supporters of the rebellion? This is the complexion it comes to at last, and all. talk about magnanimity, reconciliation, etc, simply mean3 magnanimity to the rebel or copperhead, and proscription of the patriot. The interest of the individuals concerned, and of the present generation even, is a small matter compared with the interests of the country hereafter. These interests demand such a policy as will discourage treachery and encourage patriotism in all generations. In consideration of the foregoing facts the election next Tuesday of the greatest importance to the country and every citizen, and no Republican should fail to take every step practicable this week to get out a full Republican vote, and make the decision so positive that none will dare dispute it. Every man has an opportunity to serve his country this week by earnest work in behalf of Grant and TTxlson, and we urge upon all our readers the importance of improving It to the utmost.

OSCE MORE. The writer in the Sentinel over the signature of 'Insurance' attempts to avoid the points made in the Evening Journal Saturday, in regard to the advance in insurance at the present time. He says the case of the 'grocer" is not parallel with that of the "insurance company which offers protection at an advanced rate, or one that is in accordance with the risk." The trouble in the case here is, that the advanced rate i3 not in accordance with the risk. The risk has been very materially decreased, while the rate ha3 been increased. It is to this that the business men of Indianapolis object. As taxpayers, they have increased the fire department and pay for a water supply tending greatly te the decrease of the danger of fires, and therefore diminishing the risks of insurance. An advance cannot be justly demanded from tbem on the grounds that "Insurance" has laid down. Ue now advances another point, as follows: "There "4a one point which has been entirely ignored by the other tide, and that Is, that a company's average Iocs, or expectation of loss, is not to be estimated by the business in Indianapolis alone, but, ri?ks being written In many places, they must be governed by their experience elsewhere, and not by that which occurs in one city." On the contrary the objection to the advance is made by business men on that very ground. They hold that the neglect or parsimony of other cities in guarding against fire should not be mt;de the basis of an additional tax on Indianapolis. "Every tub must stand on its own bottom," and in adjusting premiums to risks Ul? advance should be made in those places in v,"hich the risk exists, and not in Indianapolis where the risk is less. This is not only justK"e hut it is in accordance with the relations ot insurers to individuals insured. No fair-minJed agent would charge the same rates for a warehouse stored with oils, paints, powder, and glycerine, and a dry goods store, on the ground that a rjeneral average of expectancy of lo3s must be struck, and the dry goods man must pay more than a fair rate in order to let the oil dealer have less than a fair rate. Yet that is what is proffered as a justification of the advance in insurance here. If they have been plied with such arguments, it is no wonder that business men and property-owners are dissatisfied with the situation. " Insurance " says, by way of correction: "Insurance ia midc with the expectation that the risk may burn, and there was no statement in onr former article that it was 'made with the expectation that It will lm.n.' If the latter, wc asree that we should then require the fall amount of the policy as a premium: but if only the statement that it may bam id made, and the Journal thinks that wc should bo entitled to all on the ground that it will burn, will he not admit that we should have a fair sum for the chances which we are willing to take?" AVe do not care to quibble about words. No agent insures "with the expectation that the risk vmy burn." If there is any reasonable expectation of such a thing, he passes it by. "While the experience of his business shows that a certain per cent, of property is usually destroyed, he never takes risks in the matter on any particular piece of property. Such property as there is reasona ble expectation that it may burn is passed by, or the premium increased on it. On the average business the agent goes upon the expectation that it may not burn, while the owner insures on account of his fear that it may burn. It is distinctly a hazard of chance, with the advantage in favor of the company, or no prudent man would hold stock in an insurance company a single moment. But this is a question of casuistry having nothing to do with the main question in controversy: The increase of rates of insurance in Indianapolis while the risks of insurance have been diminished.

THE rROOFS. "We have referred elsewhere to the effect of a Democratic victory next week upon the defenders of the Union and the f reedmen. "We call attention to the doctrines of the chief priests of Mr. Greeley; which show the demoralization of the Liberal movement upon men who were ottce patriotic, and advocates of the equality of mankind before the law. On the first point, the Golden Age declares: "The men caled to the front dur"ing the late civil war, on both sides, are "rapidly retiring from public notice into "the obscurity from which they were taken. "Certainly the obscurity becometh them, but "whether thy dignify or adorn the obscurity is another matter." Mr. Sumner, in that last speech, which he had neither the grace to suppress nor the resolution to deliver, still more sentcntiously says: " The "lime of the vMierhas "pasted; especially when "hi renewed power would vnee more remind "fellow citizens of their defeat" Chagrined by the defeat of its party in North Carolina, the Chicago Tribune said: "Recent events which have transpired in "North Carolina in connection with the 'State campaign and election are already "beginning to suggest the question whether "the political power wielded by the negro "element in the South is not a serious "menace to Republican institutions." With the Government in the hands of men holding such sentiments, how long would it be before it would be necessary to renew the old issue of "free speech and free men?" A COAL ROAD. Tho benefit of a coal road to a city is illustrated by the position of Columbus, Ohio. A few years since, in consequence of the tendency of the principal railroads to run around it, Columbus became a decidedly dull tawn. A short time since a road was built into the Hocking Valley coal field for the express purpose of stimulating manufacturing by a full supply of coal at reasonable rates. The result was even more than what was anticipated. The manufacturing interests of the city increased most rapidly; but, beyond that, Columbus has suddenly assumed considerable importance as a coal distributing point. A good many people are looking there now for supplies of coal who would have laughed two years since at the

idea of looking to Columbus for any thi ng. Indianapolis is much nearer to a m uch better coal field, and by a proper deve lopment of it, and sufficient means of tJ ansportation, may become one of the moel; important coal markets and manufacturing reenters in the country. It is to be hoped, 'therefore that the coal road of which, so .much has been said, will soon become a verify.

EDITORIAL NOTES. The Columbus (Georgia) Sun, a suppO rter of Greeley, has come to the conclusion tbnt all is not as it at first seemed. It says: "Disguise it as. we may, and with all the assertions, predictions, wishes and hopes to the contrary notwithstanding, the late elections in the Middle States demonstrated that Liberal R epublicanism is a .failure. The leaders at Balti taorc were mistaken as to the strength of party cords and sectional antagonisms, and in clutch'tag after a shadow th substance it lost. It seems to be conclusively settled that Mount Lincoln is the highest point in Colorado, and among the highest points on the continent. Late measurem ent by Professor Dubois give it an altitude of 1 7,UX) feet. Other sci entitle men have placed it much lower; but its supremacy among the moan tains seems to be undoubted. Its original nam e was Triagna, from its being the source of three rivers. The Flatte and the Arkansas flow from its eastern slope, while the Colorado takes a western course through the great canyon to the Facilic. IIorace Greelet, in IS60, p,aid of Francis Kernan. now Democratic candidate for Governor of New York: "There, is not a more envemoned Copperhead in the present Congress. Even salutary fear of his Republican constituency diet not deter him from votiDg generally with 1'andleton, Long, Harris & Co., against meet war measures; and what he did cot venture to vote on that side he generally dodged. In 6hort, his electloa was a fraud, grc. unded in treachery and false promises,! and conk ummated by wholesale bribery, and he ought 1D Blncc to have resigned." A man namcd Bates sailed for England one day last ?e ith the avowed' intention of begginghis .wav through Great Br itain bearing the American flaS- Whatever respect the Eng. lish may entertfc.'in for the flag, the y can have nothing but col temP for the mendicant Bates is also under. tod to intend to wear the regulation uniform o ai army surgeon through his ridiculous expedition. This fact alone should justify his arrest and consignmen t to a place where he would have fiomething; to do for his living besides gratuitously exposing the Stars and Stripes to ridicule and in6uLt. That fortunate cat is unfortunately deaoT.. We mean the cat named "Otta," to which Miss Sarah C. Lewis, of Braintree, Massachusetts, bequeathed the Income of her house and furniture and two dollars per week. That is, the money was bequeathed to a female friend in trust for the 6ald cat, direct bequests to animals being null aiid void by law. On the 21st "Otta" died ot old age, and the house and land now go to the Universalist Church in West Scituate, in accordance with the provisions of the will. If the money could only have gone to Otta's Iters, the caterwauling at cat concerts would hav e increased tenfold. A cwiious press tase has jU6t come before the Swiss law courts. &T. Winterthur, responsible editor of the Vulksblatt refused to give up the name of the writer of an article incriminated. An examining maglt"atc then being appointed to discover, if possi ble, who was the writer, at once summoned the editor before him as a witness, and under threat of legal penalties, insisted on having the name. The editor appealed, but ths Supreme Ourt decided that the magistrate was right. In fa ture.therefore, in Switzerland, the manager of a journal will bo unable to conceal any writer's name in court of justice. The great work of boring through the HoVsac Mountain is steadily progressing; the progress made in September was 310 feet. The total length of the tunnel now opened is 20,800 fett, leaving 4,226 feet to be tunneled. There is a central 6haft from which workmen excavate toward the east and west, while from the outside parties are working from both directions toward the center. The rock remaining to be bored is in two separate parts. Between the east and the central shaft only 66'J feel remain, and at the present rate of voik this will be penetrated in less than 6lx months, when but little more than 3,000 feet will have to be cut through to finish the undertaking. A correspondent of the New Orleans ricayune recommends the introduction from South America of an insect known as the terrier ant to destroy the cotton and boil worm in the Southern States. This animal is harmless to vegetation, but makes short work of any insect or 6m all animal which encroaches on its premises. A scorpion, an insect very tenacious of life, was killed by the ants in three minutes, a centipede in four minutes, a tarnatula in less han two minutes, and a snake nine feet long in fifteen minutes. The Picayune correspondent is convinced that If the terrier ant can be introduced Into the Southern States the cotton and boll worm would soon be a thing of the past. Philadelphia is not the only place in the United States where Greeley and Brown Clubs "sell out" to the Republicans. Among others and they are numerous may be mentioned one at Peterborough, New Hampshire. The members of ttc "Liberal-Democratic" Club of that town ha o improved upon the McClure idea by selling eut to the Grant and Wilson Club. The flag which formerly contained the names of Greeley and Brown, now hangs in front of the Grant headquarters. Greeleyism, by this move, received its death-blow at Peterborough. The Democrats arc particularly disgusted at the turn things have takenand many of them declare they will not vote either one way or the other at the coming election. The quarterly returns of the Liverpool Emigration officers, giving the number of emigrants who departed from that port during the months of July, August and September, shows a very large increase. During three months 00 ships left Liverpool for the United States, carrying 36,491 steerage passengers and nearly 6,000 in the cabins. Seventeen ships left for Canada, carrying 5,007 emigrants; one left for Victoria, and two for South America. The aggregate number of passengers was 50.3S5 of whom the greater proportion (18,279) were English, and only 5,104 Irish. Not less that 15.S53 of the whole number were Swedes, Danes and Germans. The departure of emigrants was at

the average rate of about 13,000 per month, or 144,000 per year. . It is rumored that Mr. Gladstone intends, at the forthcoming 6esBion of Parliament to introduce a grand, comprehensive measure, looking to the ' extension of municipal' privileges all over the British isles, based on the privilege of local taxation. The details are vaguely hinted at as foOows: Ireland is to be divided into four sectiorrs, Scotland into two or three, and Eng

land Into six. The practical effect of this woui.d be to relieve Parliament of much wor fc that it is now obliged to perform, and en- ible it to give more time to the really great questions that press upon its attention. It is rmdoubtedly a step towards republicanism, and yet no better means could in all probability be taken to strengthen the monarchy. A learned physician at Louisville has writ' ten s book to prove that hanging is a very un pleasant way of getting rid of life. The writer contends that is an exceedingly difficult matter to dislocate the human neck, and that this event rarely happens in ordinary hanging, the victim dying gradually of strangulation. What is worse, the consciousness of the criminal is not suspended by the fall, and he suffers terri bly during the period, generally fiom seven teen to twenty minutes. The doctor is right in many of his deductions. Hanging, even when artistically done, is a brutal way of kill ing a criminal; but when the job is bungled, as it is three, times out of five, hanging is horri bly inhuman and disgusting. A California engineer makes the predic lion that in a few years the whole country will be gridironed with narrow gauge roads. The cost of theee roads he estimates at $8,000 per mile. Passengers can be transported on them at one cent a mile, and freight at proportion ately low rates. His plan is for farmers to build them by subscription, for the purpose of conveying their products to market. He also claims that they will pay, that wherever they have been contracted they have made handsome dividends, which is not generally the case, at least, with a majority of the broad gauge roads. In Sweden and Norway these roads are coming into general use; the construction of them is causing a demand for iron in England. Colorado has one of the m 118 miles long. HASH.

Oar experience in journalism teaches us that there is nothing in this world that will so disgust and sicken the general reader as to learn, after wading through the particulars of an awful accident, that there is a probability of the victim's recovery. A countryman created a sensation In Troy, Kansas, by bringing two live skunks in a bag to the Democratic Convention. The Committee on Credentials excluded him, and a motion to take the scents of the meeting on the question of admitting him failed.

A correspondent of the Cowdry Gentleman estimates that the exhibition of Barnum's Circus at Champaign, lllinoi. was at a cost to that county equivalent to about ten thousand bushels of Indian corn at 20 cents per bushel 'the price of admission being 2.V bushels for adults, and for children 5 pecks." Baron Nathaniel Rothschild, the eldest son of Baron James Rothschild, of Paris, is engaged on the compilation of a family history of the Rothschilds from 1806 to 1871. The history will C3ntain several interesting letters. written by Napoleon I., and hitherto unpublished; also of other eminent statesmen. The absurdity of post-dating weekly papers is exempdfied in the New York Ledger, in the edition bearing date of October 26. This paper says their popular contribute Fanny Fern is extremely ill, when the fact is she will be dead just sixteen days when the date of this pa per shall have been reached. A woman in Wyoming who docs not agree with the notions of her eex of the strongminded persuasion, being forced to 6erve upon a jury against her will, carried her baby with her. The unmusical protests of the youngster soon induced the Court to grant permission for both to retire, and they went off rejoicing. A wooden wedding marrying a blockhead. A golden wedding marrying for money. A crystal wedding marrying a "glass eye." A tin wedding marrying a milkmaid. A paper wedding marrying an editor. A 6ilver weddingmarrying an old maid of sixty. An Iron wedding marrying a blacksmith. A linen wedding marrying a laundress An old gentleman remonstrated with his married son, who did not live on good terms with his wife, on the impropriety of their contentions, since in the eye of human and divine law they were one. "I don't know how that may be," said the young man, "but I am sure if you passed our door when we are quarreling, you'd think we were at least twenty." A war between the friends of the rival

prima donnas Kellogg and Lucca eecms almost inevitable. "Native talent" champions feel themselves aggrieved at the reception accorded imported talent, and are not client. The friends of Lucca make comparisons, which, of course, are odorous, and bo fuel is added from each side to this very email fire. The Titusville 1'rcsa says : " TitusviUe was not the birth-place of the 'father of his country, but we have a man residing hero who slipped up on a muddy crossing this forenoon and sat down on a roll of butter he was carrying home, and, instead of swearing, he simply arose, 6craped the butter from his pants into the paper again, and went on again as if nothing had happened." Serious disorders have occurred at Constantinople, in consequence of the Turkish Government having sold the tobacco monopoly to a company which has raised the price fivefold. This preatly provoked the inhabitants, especiaUy as the tobacco sold by the company is said to be adulterated. In some districts the tobacco hhops were entirely destroyed, and several agents of the company have been murdered. A curious calculation has been made by an eccentric individual, well knoTvn in Paris for his peculiar antipathy to the fly. He collected 3,000 flies in a room measuring 80 cubic feet. On the floor he spread a pounded loaf o! sugar. At the end of four days he went to investigate the result of his experiment. There remained but a Epoonful of sugar. This statistician thereupon calculates that, sugar being at the rate of 10 cents a pound, a lly costs the country 20 cents from its birth to its demise. In New York, recently, a young man on his intended wedding night was knocked down and roDbcd. He was helped part of the way home, and dragged himself the remainder, arriving at midnight, bruised and bloody, after the guests had gone and the fair disappointed had retired to weep over man's inconstancy. He made himself heard, was embraced by the bride to-bc, notwithstanding the damage to her tiHcry, a preacher was sent for, and at one o'clock A. m. the marriage ceremony was performed. THE FERTILIZER COMPANY. This company will have its buildings and machinery completed and in working order in about two weeks. The manufactory is si u ated near Kingan's pork house, and the machinery now being made will be able to work up about sixteen tons of fertilizing material from the refuse matter about the different pork houses of the city. The proprietors assert that all the offensive odor now arising from the matter will be done away with, and this part of town will become much more habitable than it now is. The report of the Health Commisslcncr of the city of Boston, in referring to these kind of works, state that it is a great health preserver, and they would not raise any objection to their being situated in the most densely populated portion of the city. The manufactured material is entirely odorless, and nearly resembles snuff in appearance, andis highly recommended as a fertilizer. THE EXCURSIONISTS RETURNING. A large number of railroad men and their ladies returning from the ball and banquet given by the J., M. & I. Road, at Louisville last Thursday, stopped over Sunday in this city, for the purpose of taking a good look at the greatest inland city in the West. Among the party are seen the names of L. D.
