The elections in- Iowa and Illinois on Tuesday were simply municipal, and had little or no political significance, since the temperance question was the only one on which there was a regular and complete vote. Many tickets were in the field, and besides the regular republican and demo cratic onesi, Iowa presented several anti-mononolist tickets. There were also ä great many coalition tickets in all the states, including the German citizens' and independent tickets. EVANSVILLE. THE CITY ELECTION A CITIIfiN'a VICTORY. The Courier says: At three o'clock the returns were still so meager and conflicting that no sat isfactory calculation could be made as to the result. On mayor and clerk, the result seems still to be doubtful, although the republicans con cede Kleiner's election bv a smallnajorlty, and we utp, inclined to think a full count Will show this result. The election of Menifee, Oavltt and Saunders seems to be certain, with Perhaps one or two of the democratic candidates for assessor. For councilinen, the chances are that Parrett is elected In the First ward by a small majority: Foster Is elected in the Second: SiefriU in tlie Third; Muthinthe Fourth: Fifth in douht. with the chances in favor of Kerth; ttixth has gone for Eichel by a handsome majority, most probably. It will be seen from the above calculations that the demo crats, with the valuable aid of the labor reform ers, have carried mast or the city omcers, oui have lost a majority in the council. CINCINNATI. THE RESULT AND THE MEANING. ( From the Enquirer.) Tlie victory in the city yesterday WM as elo rlous as any that has been achieved since Blen heim. The entire democratic city ticket was elected by majorities rangin? from 4,() to ."MM. Koth toarUs or council are democratic, the ma jority on Joint ballot being probably nineteen A very lair vole was poue-i. mouzn it is prooa b'.e a tew lea'ous temperatice people abstained from exercising the right of freemen, Keturus from the county are incomplete, but Goss' ma jority for solicitor over Sliickland Is not less thin 7.UW. nue we accora to trie uemocracy the fullest measure of praise for this result, we ate not unmindful of the fact that they were greatly strengthened by the moderate republi cans who reteled against the fauatict.sm which is attenintin: to regulate the personal aitairs of citizens. Jt was the triumph of the liberal, ireethinLinir, independent masses as represented by the hiuuulrer. over llliberality and fanati cism. There is no denying the proposition that Cincinnati is a democratic city; but the fact that In our ranks is frjun.i the true spirit of our insli tu lion", coupled with an acceptable administration of the city Kovtrument, hns contributed greatly to the magnificence of this triumph TUE CAUSES. From the fiazette.l Without oing at length Into the Cannes of this republican defeat, .it is proper to refer to two that have mainly been instrumental in bringing the result. 1. The old liberal-republican element which last autumn separated from the democracy united wnn ineir oiu any 'Z. The entire anti-temperance interest of the citv was arrayed aaintt the republicans, and worked actively iu favor of the democratic ticket. tin the other hand, the temperance people took no particular Interest iu the campaign. Many of them did not vote at all; many of them scratched, and some voted the democratic ticket. The double faced republican platform on tbe temperance question Rained the party no votes at an, dui lost it many, isot a tern perance man in the city voted the republican ticket on account of that temperance plank; all of the ant i-ieno perance people voted against if The republican party was credited with being the temperance party, and, hy its policy. It suf fered all the disadvantage of Ulis reputation and gained no strength. Ihese were the two causes that contributed to the defeat we have this morning to record. The character of the new Common Council and the Board of Kducationaan be seen by look ing over the lists of members we publish elsewhere. n is eviaem 10 anybody at all familiar with or.r ward bummers that the council, as it becomes more strongly democratic, does not gain In ability or character. Tho Common Council and tbe board of education bid fair tobe more dis reputable next year thaa they have been for years. Tho victory is a victory not simply of the democratic party, out or me worst elements of that party. A man needs a certificate of char acter who is a member of either of those bodies, A SWALLOWED PARTY. (From the Commercial.) e saw at one or tbe ward polls yesterday a colored citizen going about, wide mouthed, Inquiring, Vhar Is de liberalrepublican party?" WlKther he -was an old-line republican ortne of those black swans who affiliated with the liberals we were unable to find out, but he seemed sadly puzzler! by tbe mysterious disappearance of a party that, in his warn, naa nee n Hgouaani political force Bo far as this city la ctutcerned the liberal republican party is nowhere in particular. It has vanished mizziea gone out. There Is no trace of It In the rearlt of yesterday' election as an enuiy,-an unmviauamy. And yet it was a promising cuiiu, oi roouK constitution and healthy growth, and ..a fair future before it. We helped to foster that Infant, and mourn Its early departure cut off as it seems, in the nower or jus youth. The tak ing away of a child Is always a sad venu We Know not wnat tpossi dui ties -were wrapped In the future of its existence. I here might have been a treat orator, a great states man, a great poet, great aoalier. Who can tell? The saddest of all words ere. says the poet, "It . might fcave i teen." And so the early deraise of the liberal szpubUcan party becomes regretable, liad Its existence been profonged. had It lived until its muscle was developed, ad its facilities of mind matured. It m.eht have worked a vlaablrerorm In Anurl can politics; it might tiave introduced boner v into office, economy into administrative, fut'ty Into politics, awi geolns and culture nto hU'Ji places. There hoo saying how great a revolution It might have wronai the public af fairs, it was a lovely eel id asdar asitgot, but it am not get iar enough it aieu aieu in the; city I hat may be said to have given it birthcoitainly where It receive! the kindest and most tender nourishing, eo ungular and suddea a taking off or so'promlsing an infant Is what distracted the brain and gore pathos to the toaes of the inquiring colored citizen uur renders nave all bard of the man who mtue a.

The eggt were too m uch lot him. in la was pretty much the .disease of which the liberal-iepublican cuild diel- It was a case of tpdigestion.

Tuet Ls where the child is now iu tbe baUy of tue uenocrau par;y, helping i prowuae iu a)iiomeu, and give it a pursy nd prosperous appearance. Our colored .citizen, who was in search of the lnfo.t yesterday, will üaa In the returns of the election this morning, the only evidence we now have Ui at there ever was such a thing as the liberal reDubllean Dartv in Cincinnati. And so passes away the glory of the world, . and It mar be said of it with slight paraphrase, as was said of one of old: He hath flown away a a dream and can not be found ; yea, he hath been chased away as a vision of the night.

There are three things that fill my heart with 'äös, . , And steep my soul In laughter (when I view Fair maiden forms moving like rr bodies ) Dimples, rose-llns, and eyes of a;V hue. There are three tilings beneath th Messed skies For which I live black eyes, arc rown, anu blue: I hold them all most dear; but oh, black eyes, 1 live and die. and only die for you. Of lute such eyes looked at me while I mused, At sunset, underneath a shadowy piane, In old Bayona, nigh the southern pea From a half-open lattice looked at me. I law no more, omv those eves confused. And dazzled to the heart with glorious pain. PEKSICOS ODI.

SUMNER, MOTLEY AND GRANT. the suppressed speech of senator scm NER THE TRUE POSITION OF THE PRESI DENT AND SECRETARY OF STATE IN THE SAN DOMINGO QUESTION MR. MOTLEY'S TARDY VINDICATION THE CURTAIN RAISED OVER OFFICIAL INJUSTICE AND MISMANAGE MENT. The literary executors of Mr. Sumner have just complied with the very general demand that his suppressed speech oi should now be made public. It appears in the Tribune, and is prefaced by an explanatory note by the distinguished author himself, in which be states the cause of its preparation and suppression. Tbe note reads thus: To the Header. This Btatement was prepared in March, shortly after the debate in the Senate, but was withheld at that time from unwillingness to tase part in the con troversy while able lriends regarded the question ot principle involved as above everv personal issue. Yielding at last to various pressure. Mr. samner eouciuuea to present it at the recent called session of the Senate, but the treaty with Great Britian and the case of tbe newspaper correspondents were so enerossinsr as to leave no time for anything else. Washington. June. 1S71. The controversy referred to was on the opposition to Mr. Sumner to the San Domincro treatv and tne consequent tnscus sioo, followed by the removal ot Mr. Motley and In March. l7i. the removal oi air. um ner from tbe chairmanship or foreign relations. Mr. Sumner opened his address by reierrinz briefly to the attacks on himself aud hin motives by Senators Ilowe and Sherman, and he as?erts that it is with no 'ew of removiug the heatsof recent debates that he then speaks, "but in the discharge of a public duty whre the claim? ot patriot ism are above even thoso or self ueiense, The Senate and the country have an interest in knowing the truth in this matter, and so also has tbe republican party, which cannot be indifferent to pretentions in its name; nor will anything but the comnletest. frank no3s be proper for the occasion.' Vftcr alluding thus especially to the vin dictive assaults ol Senator Howe, he con tinues in reference to his nttitude toward the president and Secretary Fish: It is alleged that I have no personal relations with the president. Here tho answer is easv. I have precisely the relations which he has chosen. On reaching Washington in Deeembor last, I was asbured from various quatters that the White House was au pry with me, and soon afterwards the public journals reported the president as saying to a senator that if be were not president ne "WOULD CALI. MR TO ACCOUNT." What he meant I never understood, nor would I attribute to him more than he meant; but that he used the language reported, I have no doubt, from information independent of tho newspapers. I repeat that on this point I have no doubt. Tho same newspapers reported also, that a member of the president's household, enjoying his peculiar confidence, taking great part in the Santo Domingo scheme, had menaced me with personal violence. I could not believe the story except on positive, unequivocal testimony. That the menace was made on the condition of his not being an army officer 1 do not doubt. The member of the household, when interrogated by my excellent colleague (Mr. Wilson), positively denied the menace, but I am assured, on authority above question, that he has since acknowledged it while the president still retains him in service, and sends mm to this chamber. Much as I au pained in making this statement in regard to the president, infinitely more painful to me is what I must prdOent with regard to the secretary of state. Here again I remark that I am driven te this ex pianaiion. nis strange ana unnatural con duct toward me and his prompting of sen ators, who, one after another, have set ud my alleged relations with him as ground of complaint, make it necessary lor nze to pro ceed. We were -sworn as senators on the same day, as far back as 1851, and front that dis tant time were friends, until the Santo Do mingo business intervened. Nothing could exceed our kindly relations in the past. On the evening of the inauguration of General Grant as president, he was at my house with Mr. Motley in friendly communion, and all uuiubk iu ttspirabiuus tor tne new aamims tration. Little did Mr. Motley -or myself imagine in mat social nour that one of our little circle was -o soon to turn upon us Dotn. For sometime he showed a -eympathy wnn tne aeneuie aimost as iittieaa my own. i5ut as too .president grew .-in earn estness the secretary yielded, until tardily be became ibi attorney. Repeatedly he came ta my house, pleading for the scheme. Again and again he urged it; sometimes at, my house and sometimes at his own. I was astonished that he could do so, and expressed my astonishment with frankness of old t friendship. For apology un iuuuuuwu mad XM w as tue president 8 friend, and toot office -as such. "Bat." said I, "you should resign rather than do this thing." This a. could not refrain lrom ra marking on diaoovery from dispatches in the state aepartmecx that tno usurper licez was m&iutaineu m power oy our way. xals PLAicT ACT OFAVRONO required instant redress ; kut the secretary astonished nie agrin by his insensibility to my appeal for justie. He maintained the president, aa the president maintained li&ez. X confess that I wa troubled. - At last, some time in Jute, 1870, a few weeks before the Santo Domkigo treaty .was faally rejected by the Senate the secretary eame to my bouse about 9 e 'clcek in che ecsening and reruaicet till alter the clock stoics midnight, thecvrhole pre traded vk it being occupied iu earnett and reiterated appeal that I should cease my opposition to the .presidents! scheme, and her ho nro-A.1 that he eleetion which joude General Grant ' president had been carried by him and not uyuvu fcuttt uia uoaires were entitled to especial attention. In his pressure on me he complained that I bad opposed other projects of the president. In reply to my inquiry he named the repeal of the tenure-of-oflice act, and tbe nomination of Mr. Jone as Minister to Brussels, both of wnicu ine president naa much at heart, and he concluded with the Santo Dominzo troaty. I assured the secretary firmly and simply that, seeinor the latter as I did with all its surroundings my dnty was plain, and that I must con tinue to oppose it so long as it appeared to me wrong. Hewasnot satisfied, and re newed his pressure in various forms, return ing to the point again and again with perse

vering assiduity, that would not be arrested, when at lat, finding me inflexible, he ctanged his appeal, saving, " Why not go to London? I offer you the English mis

sion. It is yours." Of bis authority from the president I know nothing. I speak only of what he said. Mv astonishment was heightened by indignation at this too palpable attempt to take me from my post of dnty; but I suppressed tbe feeling which rose to the lips, and, reflecting that he was an old friend and in my own house, answered gently, We have a minister there who cannot be bettered." Thus already did tbe mission to London begin to pivot on Santo Domingo. 1 make this revelation only because it is important to a correct understanding of the case, and because the conversation from be ginning to end was official in character, re lating exclafively to public business, with out suggestion or allusion of a personal na ture, and absolutely without the slightest word oa my part, leading in the most remote degree to any such overture, which was unexpected as undesired. The offer of tbe sec retary was in no respect a compliment or kindness, but In the strict line of his endeav or to silence mv opposition to tbe Santo Domingo scheme, as is too apparent from the facts, while it was plain, positive, and une quivocal, making its object and import beyond question. Had it been merely an in quiry, it were bad enough under the circumstances, but it was direct and complete as by plenipotentiary. Shortly afterward", being the day Immediately following the rejection of the Santo Domingo treaty, Mr. Motley was SUMMARILY REMOVED, according to present pretense, for an offending not only trival and formal, but condoned by time, being a year old very much as Sir Walter Raleih, alter being released from tbe tower to conduct a distant expedition as admiral of the fleet, was at his return be headed on a judgment of fifteen years' standing. The secretary in conversation and in correspondence with me undertook to explain the removal, insisting lor a long time that he was "the friend of Mr. Motley ;" but be always made tbe matter worse, while the heats of Santo Domingo entered the diseuäsion. The day after the rejection of the San Domingo treaty Minister Motley was removed, and it was not until Jan., 1871, that the secretary made a formal paper giving his reasons ibr this removal. Mr. Snmuer gives extracts from this document and answers in a convincing manner their disingenuousness and unstatesmanlike equivocation. He shows that the secretary has made false statements as to tbe motives leading to Mr. Motley's removal, and he certainly throws by this explanation a burden of proof on to the secretary which that official will probably nud difficulty in removing. Concerning his relations to the secretary, he says: Not lightly would 1 1udge an ancient friend. For a lime I said nothing to anybody of the outrage, hoping that perhaps tho secretary would open his eyes to the trae character of the document he had signed and vol unteer some friendly explanation. Meanwhile a propositon to resume negotiations was received from England, and tho secreta ry, is 'jeemä. desired to confer with me on i the subject; but there was evident conscionsness on his part that be had done wrong, for, instead of coming to me at once, he tent for Mr. Patterson, of the Senate, and telling him that he wished to confer with me, added that be did not know precisely what were his relations with me and how I should re ceive him. Within a brief fortnight I had been in conference with him at the state department and had dined at his house, beside about the eame time making a call there. Yet he was iu doubt about his relations with me. Plainly because since the conference, the dinr.or a"nd the call, the document signed by him had been communicated to the sen ate, and the conscience-struck secretary did did not know how I should take it. Mr. Patterson asked me what he should report. I answered that should the secretary come to my house ne would ue received as an old friend, and that at any time I should be at his eervice for consultation on public business, but that 1 could not conceal my deep sense of personal wrong received from him absolutely without reason or excuse. That this message was commuelcated by Mr. Patterson I cannot doubt, for the secretary came to my house and there was a free conference. How frankly I spoke on public questions without one word on other things, tho secretary knows. He will remember if any inquiry, remark, or aliasion escaped from me except in reference to public business. The inter view was of business, and wothing else. On caretiK reflection, it seemed to me plain, that, while meetirg the secretary officially, it would not be consistent with self-respect for me to continue personal relations with one who had put his naece to a document, which, after protracted fury toward 'acother, contained a STUDIED CJSULT to me. where the fury 4s intensified rather than tempered by too obvious premeditation. Public business must not suffer; but, m such a case, personal relations naturally cease; ana tnts rule l have followed since Is there any senator who would have doae less? Are there not many who would have done more. In referring again to this same remarkable document he says: Bywayof aspersion on Air. JMOtiey and myself the country is informed that he was indebted for his nomination to influence" andxr gency on my part. -Of the influence I know nothinr; but I deny postivelv any Her gency' I spoke with the president on sthis subject once casually, on the stairs of 'the executive mansion, and then again 4n a formal interview. And here, since the effort of the secretary, I shall frankly state what I said and how it was introduced. I began ky remarking that, with the permission of tbe president, I should venture to suggest the expediency of continuing Mr. Marsh .is. Italy. Mr. Morris at Constantinople, and Mr. Bancroft at Berlin, as all these exerted a peculiar influence and did honor to our country. To this dist I proposed to add Dr. Howe I ureece, -aelleving that he, too, would co nonor to our country, and also Mr, Motelyln London, who, I suggested would have an mnuence there beyond bis oill cial position. The president said that nobody should -oe sni to london who was not "right on the claims question, and he kindly x plained to me what he meant by right." . x rom this time l had no conversation with him about Mr. Motley, until after the latter .had left for his post, when the president volunteered to express his great satisfaction -in the appointment. Sach was the extent of my "urgency;" nor was I much in sdrance of. the secretary . at that time, for he showed me what was called the brief at the state department for the English mission, with Mr. Motley's name at the head of thelkt. Inclosing, he says: leannot diszuUs the sorrow with which I offer this expJanation. In self-defense, and for the sake of truth, do I now speak. I have cultivated fcrbaaxance, and hoped from the bottom of nay heart that I might do so to the end. But bevond the call of the publie press, has been the defiant challenge of senators, and also tha vnHirlarnt iMi nmnti met? 1 presented by friends, that my silence might i uo uu5ixuerpreiea. laruuy aaa most reluc tantly I make this record, believinsr it more a duty to the Sanate than to myself, but a plain duty to be performed in all simplicity without reserve. Having nothing to conceal, and willing always to be judged by the truth, I court the fullest inquiry, and shrink from no conclusion founded on an accurate knowledge of the case. If this narration enables any one to see in clearer light the injustice done to Mr. Motley, then have I performed a farther duty too long postponed ; nor will it be doubted by any honest nature, th at since the assault ot the secretary, he was entitled to that vindication which is found in a statement of facts within my own knowledge.

Whether there is any natural relation between these phenomena must be left tc the intelligent reader to discover. On the first day of the monin tne streets were lived -with grave looking gentleman robed, for the most part, in black, being a carpet-bag in one hand and an nmbrella In the other. Spectacles flashed in the sun in a way that pained the eye of the beholder at the brilliancy of the reflect ed rays. One hundred and eighty-six of these gentlemen were suddenly but not unexpectedly, added to tho population .of Ft. Wayne. The sesclfn TX7 1- ? r 1 1 last Al ti tTA nraa on fi4n oiuu f in o u i car) au jubvl esting one, though attended by no incidents of special importance. The usual routine worK or appointing committees, reading reports of work done during the year, was transacted. The time honored conundrum, how to make congregations contribute liberally was again proposed for solution, and while many were disposed to give it up. Bishop Foster devoted a little time to the utterance of a few pointed opinions of his own on tho subjeet. He is disposed to censure the ministers in a large degree for this failure. It is idle to make complaints of a general character and bewait tho lukewarmness of tho lay brethren, so long as the ministers in charge does not put forth a supremo effort. This subject was recurrer to on several subsequent occasions, and indeed seemed to pos sess a peculiar Attraction. Among the members of the conference weie some men who would have been prominent in any audience. Of these the most noticable perhaps was ElSnOP FOSTER. Of medium height, he has a striking appear ance. His face is finely moulded and of resolute caät. His eye is clear and honest, and his voice sonorous and powerful. Altogether, he is a very fine looking man; the handsomest, perhaps, in the whole assemby. Bishop Foster has leen in the ministry thirty-six years, during which time he has never missed a conference. To those who know what Methodism in Indiana was thirty years ago, this statement will carry a world of meaning. He is a good parliamentarian, thoroughly acquainted with all the rules and usages of the Methodist church. He is, moreover, a strict disciplinarian, but when off duty" a jolly good fellow, who can enjoy a hearty secular laugh as well as his neighbor. In fact if we were to go to a Methodist conference to find melancholly men he would find that he had waked up tha wrong passengers. Dr. W. II. Goode, tho vice-president of the conference, by virtue of his exalted position in the assemb4y requires a notice. He is a Methodist of the old school, one of that kind who recognizes no obstacles to. the accomplishment cf what he regards as God's work on earth. He has been in the ministerial harness for forty years, almost half a century. Hi3 digdifled mien, his gray, almost white hair and beard, and piercing eye mark him as one of the PATRIARCHS OF TJ1E CHURCH. Dr.Goode is a man of recognized abHity.deep piety and an almost consumio zeal in the cause of the church. In looking at him one is carried back instinctively to the heroic days ot Jarno B. Fin ley, Peter Cartwright and othar pioneers of the west. They have lived in another generation, and have seen the country, and with it the church grow up from small and insignificant beginnings. One of the most marked characters present was the Rev. O. V. Lemon, presiding elder of Goshen district. Brother Lemon if an outsider may assume the relationship is a member of the old school. Of large and commanding presence, be has a heart and voice to correspond. His nature is as open as his face, and his feelings quickly find vent in exclamations of delight at sorrow as the case may be. He is the champion singer, shouter and amen pronouncer. His voioe is powerful and sweet, and he is not afraid to let it out on all occasions. In short brother Lemon is expected when present to "start the hvmn," Brother Lemon can exhort sinners to repentance with a voice that would make the fortune of the charcoal vender for all time to come. It is only necessary to say, or hint. "GO IN BROTHER LEMON," ' and the next moment the work begins in real earnest. He Is an .Invaluable man in a revival or a conference of which he is the soul. Comparisons are said to ' ba odious, and ' distinctions invidious yet - while it is possible"' to notice , all or: . half of , the - prominent members of the conference, it will be in order to say a lew words in reference to the Ilev. A. Marine, who has been for the past three years the pastor of the Berry street chnrch in this city. Mr. Marine might be called a handsome man. Ue is young, not more than thirty-five years of age; rather stoutly built, with a complexion that any woman might envy. His cheeks are as fresh and red as those ef any schoolgirl of sixteen, and his hair and beard are a rich, handsome brown. With all due deference to Bishop Foster, tbe palm of hand somest man most be awarded to tbe Ilev. Marine at least if the award were made by a committee of ladies. Mr. Marine,bowever,has more than good looks to recommend him. He is an able and earnest speaker, and is not afraid to express his honest opinion, on men and measures, even where those opinions are at variance with the feeling of a majority of. his hearers, or the community. When it was announced that he was to be transferred to the Wavne street church and thes retained in tbe city, the enthusiasm of tbe interested spectators manifested in cheers. Mr. Marine has already won a renown record to few men in his conference. He has taken a fery act! ye part in ,.J THE TEMPERANCE AGITATION in this city advocates 'measures that might

almost be regarded as extreme. His nature, however, is euch that he is Incapable of making terms with wrongdoing. He is unaMe

A man with less force or character and with opinions less pronounced, might eueceed better as a te While upon this tonic it mav wn t mention that several of the mass meeting held by the friends of temperance here darItg the session of the conference reived material a:d from the ministers, all of whom were heartily in favor of the oriin nr ,-n conditionally committed to the prosecution of the war in some form or other upon the saloons.
