THE VICTORY. This id a year ot surprises. The Of close call in Maine farnisberl the first sensation,' and Indiana. came mpj to the front with' the secondi 'i Wi. confidently expected a t Republican Tictory in this Stato, but ijs pantdo rather astonished us7 On general result we have secured tho GovernorBhip, the Legislature, which means a

Donald, and eight or nine Congressmen out of thirteen. Besides this we have held our own in the counties and made many gains, notably Yigo and Montgomery, heretofore Democractic. This is simply magnificent, capaing as it aocs irom a ötatowjucn gave its electoral vote to Tilden four years ago. Together with the old fashioned triumph in Ohio, it makes the election of Garfield a If other States do as well, certainty. it means not only the Presidency, but both branches of -Congress also. Demo cracv is doomed, and the sooner it gets out of the way for a more patri otic opposition party, the ootter it will bo for itself, individually and collectively. Tho solid South r never rule this country, and without it Democracy is nothing. The times y f TT uresane a new ana lomr era 01 uo publican rule. - ONCE AGAIN. The grand victory of Tuesday must not bo ' nerraittcd to seduce us into -A over confidnce and inactivity. Ev erv Republican should so to work with ' renewed zeal for success November. We cannot afford to abate one jot or title of the vigilance and earnest work that has won us such a signal victory. f he grand re sults in Ohio and Indiana show that the great northern heart is arouSed and determined to rebuke the arrogant modocracy of the Solid South. "With anything, like reason ble efforts on the part of Republicans the soldier statesman and patriot, Gen. James A. Garfield will be over whelmingly elected President in 1880. Democrats are desperate. They see in tho election of Gen. Garfiield tho distruction of their last hope of supremacy in this country They will scruple -at nothing, that promises success. Patriots, accordingly who love and cherish the honor and good name of their country, should work unceasingly until the mn of the 2nd of November sets a -glorious Republican victory. on A Negro is elected to the legislature of Indiana for the first time In the history of the State. We hay to thank the Republican party of Indiana for the honor (?)t Thus we take one more step in that peculiar phase of progress inaugurated by the Republican party. We presume that one of the first steps that the colored brother will take will be similar to that taken by the negro Williams, who was elected to t&e Ohio legislature last winter,;yii: A demand that all barriers to marriage of whites and blacks should be broken down. Sentinel. A beautiful sentiment! Thoroughly Democratic! Head correctly, it means it is a disgrace' fot a negro to hold an office and such a thing is a step ot tho peculiar policy inaugurated by the Republican ' party. Here we have it flat-footed! The Democratic party acknowledges no such policy. It regards the election of the negro to office as a disgrace and declares its intention never, so far as it was to give in adherence to sucn a lin-of progress. Blind, Bourbon Democracy butting its head against the rights of man and shutting its eyes to the highest light of the nineteenth century I And r. yet the Democracy here boasts that it has some neccro votes. It will take all such votes as it can get, but considers it a disgrace if such voter hold office as well. In other words the negro is still a slave to the Democracy, a slave to give labor unrequittea. A negro who upholds ' the Democratic par. ty here, af ter such a declaration, is in political bondage. -Evening .News. - We commend this very just re.J, büke r Xvhich our; esteemed . contempory, the News, administers to tho Sentinel. . On more occasions than One'we have called theJLUention of the public in general and the Democratic party in particular to the idiotic course' of the Sentinel. Its brutal treatment of cadet Whittaker, its crazy denounciation of "pauper negroes,'.' and its villanious attempts to arouse race preiudices have all contributed to the grand Republican a rw m mi ' victory ot luesday, J. here was a time when Democrats could make votesby denouncing the Negro and appealing to the prejudices of certain classes of ignorant people. , But happily that time has past. These uncalled for. and stupid attacks onpeo1ple by Democrats simply on account of their color rcepel not only colored people, but thousands of white men who are 'too honorable, too manly and bravo to countenance an attempt to crush and. blast tho hopes and 'aspirations of a class of men -whoso oniy crime is tho color of their skin. Early in tho campaign we suggested to the Republican Committee the! propriety of circulating the Sentinel as ajeampafgn document'. Jt3 columns .would confirm every charge made by Republicans against the rebel Democracy-". . j Hon. J. S.

We congratulate1 lirllf intcfh on this achieveme'nY and we thank the Republicans of Marion Cpunty.in the name of the colored people for this honorable recognition of the colored people. .

The Eve Before the Battle. Reception to Captain O. S. B E. It. ttagby. Wall and Editorial Correspondence: Terre Haute, Oct 12. "Home again from a foreign fhore," was my mental exclamation as I stepped from the afternoon Vand&lia train at the Union depot in this city, last Saturday, after a dusty two hours ride from Indianapolis. There were many passengers on the train that had attende the meeting of the Boys in Blue, hence the atmosphere of the coaches was highly im pregnated with Republicanism. 1 find, also that the air of Terre Haute is likewise im pregnated with a vey pronounced kind of Republicanism' and if victory does no perch upon our banners, I am ery much mistaken. 1 can feer that to-morrow's breezes will be freighted with joy for Repub lican hearu tar and near. Soon after my arrival here, I fell into the hands of that trio of "merrie good fellows" J. II, (Exodus) "Walker, R. C. Greear, and Samuel Archer, which lactis a sufficien guarantee tnat i naye Deen naving a good time. I have also had the pleasure to find our friend Capt. (J. S. B. AV aU,of Washington u. u., nere, worKing in me interest ot liepublican success. . Mail agent, Walker, has been "busily , engaged for several days in making preparations for a grand reception to uaptam vall and your humble servant, which came off per arrangement this (Monday) evening, at the A. M. E. Church. Walker never does things by halves, so the reception was a grand affair in every respect. The audience-room of the church was crowded with solid colored Republicans, and riot a few whites. The meet ing was organized by the ' selection of Rev, J. Mitchem, Chairman ; Rev. George Ander son, Vice President, and J. ill. Lott, Secre tary. Captain Wall delivered quite lengthy address upon the political situation which was well received; after which your correspondent wis called out and responded in a few remarks, calling for watchfulness, earnest work, and . close allegiance to the Republican ticket on the morrow. The audience was uproarously enthusiastic dur ing the delivery of ; both addresses, which is a good indication of the feeling of all Re publicans in Terre Haute this evening. At the close of the speaking the 'audience repair ed to the room below, where an elegant supper had been set. It was free to all, and we took hold of it with a vim, just like wp intend. to vote to-morrorw. The tables were loaded down with oysters, chicken, turkey, cold ham, and all the delicacies of . TIT tne season. v e nnisnea n up in not naste, scoring another glorious victory for hungry stomachs. The barbecue over, the audience indulged in a social good time, of an hour or two, and then quietly, retired to their homes, to take a littlojrest preparatory to th$ excitement incident to .the . struggle of to morrow. -W Am 1 11 J - m . , It itepuDiic&ns au ver tne .täte are in the same condition as here, victory will cer tainly perch upon our banners.-.

I may Bay, also, that this is he , prevailng opinion in political circles, : borne Democrats, notwithstanding. are wiJUng.to bet on Landers. We shall see what we shall see. Tne lateness of thei hour compels me to close with the remark 'that the fact that politics ..is the all. absorb ing topic of thought and conversation hero, U my reason for devoting this letter almost . . E.R. B. Rowland Hill wa3 always annoyed when there happened to be any noise in the chapel or when anything occurred to divert the attention of his hearers from what he was saying. On one occasion, a few days before his death, he was preaching to one of the most 'crowded congregations that ever assembled to hear him. In the middle of his discourse he observed a commotion .in the gallery. For some time he took' no notice of it, but finding it increasing he paused jn his sermon, andlooking in the direction m which the confusion prevailed, he ex claimed: ."What's the matter ; there?. The devil seems to have got among you." A plain,' country-looking man immediately started to his feet, and addressing Mr. Hill in reolv. said: "No, sir, it arn't the devil as is doing it; its, a fat lady wot's fainted j and she's a werryfat 'iin, sir, as don't seem likely to come to again in a., hurry," "Oh, that's it, ia it?!' observed Mr. Hill,, drawing his hand across his chin; "then I beg tb lady's pardon und the deril'i too."

The colored vote, like Napoleon's old guard, received the fire of the enemy with a solid ana un Drosen iront. we elect our whole ticket, except three, who were beaten by local and personal reasons. - Everybne j apprehended trouble. The Courier has been very forward lnstimulatincr the mnamable minds of our city s hoodlums by its denounc iation and abuse spawned out in reference to theneerro. It had also published that money was in the bank (faro?) to defend the murderers of United, b tales marsualls if they attempted arrests. " Everybody was looking for an out break. Une did occur baturday night last. Allston Shorten is av very widely known man, he is extra jovial and polite, was twice a policeman and iz employed at the Custom House. After tho big parade, while taking a glass of beer, a young Kentucky sprig who 'had owned negros sah," named Ed. liouso, began apolitical discussion. Allston "made light" of some silly expression which so ex cited the foolish young man that he draws the ready revolver, fiires and strikes Shorten in the head, bhorten retires, but Kouse per i ue3, Shorten draws his weapon in defense, fires, and the R83ailant Rouse is wounded seriously in the breast. Dur in e the malee a companion of liou3e was also dangerously wounded, lhe most serious act is now on Shorten goes to the nearest station and de livers himself to the authorities. The party which wants a change is the iriend of Kouse, the attempted murderer. They gathered in a mob around the police station. . and led bv Tom Bullen, a Democratic Councilman mark this rope in hand, endeavoring to mount-vermonize Shorten, that is to string him to the nearest tree. That thicg is eternally played out in Evansville. To prevent excitement, Marshall Hewitt, a Democrat but & man of principle, removed Shorten to the jail. Sheriff Lenecke received him and made ample preparation to receive warmly the mob that ii " . mi ? 11 J o i3uuen was mcuing. xnia an occurreu oun day morning, about 2 A. M. Sunday durin the day crowds of morbidly curious gathered around the Court House and jail, but no trouble occurred. The colored men' were not inactive. They have a right to be re spected. and they determined that no mob law should be tolerated in Evansville. About 200 met quietly and vowed to stand with their lives in their hands to assist tb executive authorities in defending a man guilty of no crime, but who nobly defended his lilo. The coiorea men remamea on watch all Sunday night, they were quiet and gentlemanly. Not one '! was filled with liquor, well we had no riot. The police authorities, Mayor Bridewell, and judges Parrett and Dver. with our cood Sheriff Lenecke are to be complimented for their determined stand in favor of justice. The heelrs and sluggers who had threatened to draw much blood came to the sensible conclusion that the chance of drawing blood and having blood drawn were more than evenly balanced. The Courier's incendhry writings are responsible for the shooting of Shorten, the hot-headed itouse ana nis companion. It is not certain whether all will .... a m recover. All is peace, we said at tne go that the election was duiet; it was like a Sundav school convention, there wam't a blow struek at any place. The 'bloody shirt" was as serene as a summer's day. The rough Sixth, that formerly slugged from four to six colored men at any election, wa as quiet as if at their own funeral There wasn't an ' arrest during the day. Several things produced this extraordinary result. The first was that the impression became very generally visible that those persons who were tnreatenea witn intimiaa tion were prepared for self-defense, for Sun day night showed this, and the the good white citizens were resolved to aid in the supremacy of law and justice. Secondly, there was a rigid enforcement of law against whisky selling. The other was that our solidest business men were at tne pons . ana gave a iorciDie nini. snat no umi-uing wouia DO countenanceu. iub rougos "wilted'' and were as childlike, urbane and gentlemanly in their deportment as if they were representatives of the kid-glove aristocracy. Even John Rising had a colored man arrested for surety of the peace. - This day will be held memorable. And it proves that no "Mississippi plan" or club policy will stand the ghost of a chance in iwans ville. The rough's occupation is gone. Are you not glad that Indiana is to be placed in respectable hands? We ought to thank Landers for this victory. For he disgusted his own followers. We thank the Courier, for it made the decent Democrats sick and scores voted with the .Republicans. . it is true, as the Leader has said, the Democracy must come to the negro; he ' can 'never, never go to them. They mean ruin to the colored man. Thoughtful eld ''Kaintuck" who so devout ly believes in a free, fair and full, vote, hastened out of the fullness of his kind heart to patriotically 4,8pot" colored voters. To day they are reluctant to confess their fool's errand. For his eagle eye, in a rebuking or threatened manner, was not fastened .on a single "home negro. 1 sah" voting, not a single Republican voted illegally, though one or two Democrats are boxed squarely.

German naturalists are requested by a Silesian newspaper to reflect on a curious propensity of the frog, alleged to have been discovered during the draining of some huge carp-ponds upon Count Schaafgotsche' i estate of Warmbruna. Upon transferring the fish from these preserves to baskets, for the purpose of conveying them to tanks wherein . they might disport themselves whilst'their old familiar quarters were being cleansed, it was observed than frogs were clinging to the backs of many of the larger carp. Most of the hsh thus be ridden were blind, the frogs fore-feet being found firmly fixed in the eve-ockets of their victims. : - . Interrogated respecting this strange phe nomenon, the cruel pond-keeper told : our contemporary's informant that, according to his experience, extending over .several years "frogs were the deadliest - enemies wita wnJcn carp-had to contend, and' caused an annual mortality among the fish under his care of from 3 to 4 per cent, of their töta number. . ' ! . The frog's object in. bestriding the carp. he, said, was to feed upon the slimy matter that so frequently, forms a sort of spongy crust on the heads and backs of the older fish: and, once settled in their' favorite seat, they speedily succeeded in gouging their finny iteads, which when blinded,' being un able to look out for their food; soon" perished of . hunger How tightly I the! voracious batrachians hold on to their.livmg pastures was- exemplied by the pond-master .who picked up a carp weighing two pounds, and a oau, ananeiau suspenaea m ine air Dy one of the hind legs of a frog" perched pron its back in the" manner above described.

The next remarkable feature of the storm is the thunder, corresponding, of course, on the large scale, to the snap of an electric spark. Here we are on comparatively sore grouna, ior sound 13 very much more thor oughly understood than is electricity. We speak habitually and without exaggeration of the crash of thunder, the rolling f thunder, and of a peal of thttader: and va rious other terms will suggest themselves to you as being aptly employed in different cases, ah 01 tnese are easily explained by known properties of ound. The origin of At m a . tne sound is, in an cases, to be looked for in the instantaneous and violent dilatation of the air along the track pf the lightning-flash, partly,' no dpubt, due to; the disruptive 'effects of electricity of which I have already spoken. but mainly due to the excessive rise of tem perature which renders the air for a moment so brilliantly incandescent. There Is thus an extremely sudden compression; of the air all around the track of1 tho spark; 'rind a less sudden, but still rapid, rush of the air into the partial ; vaomum 1 which "j it produces lhus the sound-wave produced must at first be of the nature of a bore or breaker. Hut as such a state of motion ia unstable: after proceeding a moderate distance' the sound becomes analogous to other loud but less violent sounds, such as those of the discharge of guns.. Were there few clouds, were the" air bf nearly uniform density, and the flash a short one, this would completely aescriDe tne phenomenon, and-- we - should havo a thunjder crash or .thunder clap,. ac cording to the greater or less proximity of the seat of discharge. But. as has long been well known, not merely clouds but lurfaces of separation of masses of air of different' density, such as constantly occur in thun der-storms, reflect vibrations in tne air; and thus we may have many successive echoes, prolonging the original sound. But there is another cause, often more efficient than these. When the flash is a long one, all its parts being nearly equidistant from the ob server, he hears the sound from all these parts simultaneously; but if its parts be' at very different distances from him . he hears successively the sounds from portions farther and further distant from him. If the, flash be much zig.zagged, long '.'portions ef its course may run at one and the same distance from him, and the sounds from these arrive simultaneously at his ear. Thus we have no difficulty in accounting for the rolling atd pealing of thunder. - It is, in fact, a mere consequence, sometimes of the reflection of sound, sometimes of the finite velocity with which it is propagated. The usual rough estimate of five seconds to a mile is near enough to the truth for alb ordinary . calculations of the distance of a .flash from he observer, j, Tbjb extreme distance at which thunder Is Jieartl . ; - V 1 j l iL . 13 not great, wnen we consiuer me irequeni great intensity of the sound. No trust worthy observation gives in general more than about nine or ten miles, though there are cases in which it is possible that it may have been heard fourteen miles off. But the discharge of a single cannon is often heard at fifty miles, and the noise of a siege or naval engagement has certainly been heard at a distance of: mneh; more than 100 miles. There are two1 reasons- fof.this: the first depends upon the extreme suddenness of the production of thunder; the second,. and perhapa the more.eciye on the excessive variations of density in the atmosphere1 1-1 ' ' l 1 ... . . wmcn are lnYanauiy associaiea wuna tnun-der-etorm.-In certain , oases thunder; has been' propagated, 'for 'moderate 'distances from its apparent source, with a velocity far exceeding that of ordinary sounds. This used to be attributed td the extreme suddenness of its production; bot it is not easy, if we adopt this hypothesis, to see why it should not occur in all cases. Sir W. Thom son has supplied a very different explanation, which requires no unusual volocitv of sound, because it assert the production of t'he sound simultaneously at all parts of the air between the ground and the cloud from which he Jjghtning.is diacharged.- A Wftrof his b6soniDont keejf lookingat I your watch, Aggy!
