Tilden is the man of destiny. Zach. Chandler is trying to replenish his bar'l. Zach Chandler's assessments are im;Iy robberj'. Morton prefers California to Indiana; it is Coolier. The old bear can hardly hold hii pnv off Turkey. Hayes intimates to his friends that it is sundown with him. Zach. Chandler's Southern policy is summed up thus: "CJivc them the bayonet." The Hon. Joseph Pulitzer is helping Tildon in New York. He is more than a mateli for Schurz. The Judges of South Carolina, 11 I'cpullicans, agree, that Chamberlain's call for troops is an outrage. The bets in the New York pool rwnn are two to one that Tilden will sweep the state by a majority of 00,000. . - i 1. D.

Chamberlain, who aks for troops to plat e him in tho governor's chair, while attorney general of South Carolina heljK'd t rob the state of $1.3,000. The "Worcester (Mass.) Press says: "Chandler is 'charging all along the line' again. This time the charge is3i per cent, on all salaries, instead of 2 ier cent." Attorney General Tail's order is jh-o-nou need by Judge Mac-key, an out and out Radical, as a '"most formidable and audacious act of political intimidation." Have is pronounced a failure, and there is earnest talk among the Doss Shepherd iu regard to the propriety of removing him from the ticket and substituting Grant. It is reported that Hayes is going to resign the governorship of Ohio. He had better hold on to the little ollice, f r he will escape the presidency of the United States bv a million of votes. Grantism, during the last four years, lias completely prostrated the industrial interest, of tlie country, causing wide-spread suffering among workingmen. and they are not likely to perpetuate; their ill-fortunes by voting for I laves. The Cincinnati Commercial asks. 'Shall we pension General Grant?" We could well a Toni to pension him that wc might know how much he receive-', instead of leaving him and his friends to pension themselves iii unknown amounts. The Cincinnati Gazette chuckles over the news from South Carolina and is evidently delighted over making the announcement that: "The long and r.;onotonous accounts of the murder of blacks in the South, ha3 at last been varied by the killing of some of their white assailants." The Hartford Times says that ' there are scores of men in this city and ome in every town in the state who voted tlie I : .-publican ticket last spring who an.' now ranged under the banner of reform. Grantism will be buried next month, and little Connecticut will do her full share of the work." A correspondent of" the London Times nriu-3 that i.e was "astonished to find Resident Grant leading the life of a private citixen." John Bull expected to see him living like a prince. Grant is u sort of a Nero, entirely happy, while his country, with the speed of a hurricane, is going to the d 1. - TIe Brooklyn Eagle lias summed up the tuation, and shows that the recent elections indicate a Democratic gain of fifty-four electoral votes and a popular vote of one liundrcd and forty-five thousand.

The New I lave a Ilcgistcr tays that "never were the Democrats and Liberals of New Haven fo determined. Of the young men, pome three thousand are enrolled in. companies and regiments, and our evenings arc lively with music and speaking. Look out for the Lirgest Democratic majority New Haven has ever given."' It is a part of tlie record of the Ilejmblican party that eix years of -Grantism have cost the country $4,008, 401. ?01 more than four billions of dollars! Tie Republican administration lia also jqudnd:-red 25,0(fO,000 acres -f public lands. Its otTcia's have defaulted to tlie amount of $ö,5i).."!'j.

And in tho face of all this record the Ilepublican ; arty has the "cheek." to ask the people to give it four more years cf fower and plunder.

TUE ElBOPEAX WAB. It is barely possible that a war ltwecn

Russia and Turkey may be avoided. If so, j Turkey will have to submit to the ultimatum i of Ituss-ia resign absolute control of Xhe re- j volted provinces and give guarantees of security to the Christian population within her realm. To do this is to the last degree humiliating, to refuse, under the circumstances, is to proc laim war. Evidently Russia prefers that the Sultan should refuse, for in that event, the Czar has a plausible excuse for compelling the submission of the turbaned monster to his sway. Evidently the time is most favorable for Russia to carry out her plans. The savage barbarities perpetrated by the Turks upon their conquered foes, have shocked all Christendom und aside from all questions of the balance of power in Europe or the ambirTous designs of Russia either in Ennie or Asia, or an of the other intricate questions discussed in European courts, the verdict is, that the Ottoman Empire in Euroie, ought not longer to exist. Rut it will not do to 'suppose that Russia is impelled to draw the sword against Turkey simply to defend or succor oppressed Christians. The heart of the Alexander is not so sympathetic or so easily touched by the wars of mankind though they be Christians and members of the Greek church that be would engage in a destructive war to enable them to say their prayers in peace or worship unmolested according to the rules of their church. In this reganl, however, the Emperor of Russia occupies a more favorable iosition before the Christian world than England can claim, for it is well understood that tlie cruel ties of the Turks in their treatment of f'hristiaiis have not been of suflicient importance to enable the ministers of the Queen to look at the subject from any jKiint more elevated than that of pounds, shillings and pence, and if we may credit the half we hear of the indifference of tlie English government to Turkish atrocities, we may conclude that these wrongs might continue forever, provided" Kngland's cammerce and England's empire were left undisturbed. The struggles of the weak against the strong, though the weak be Christian and the strong barbarian, has aroused no friendly aid in all of Europe, except such as is found in courtly and almost meaningless phrase. And this apathy on the part of Christian nations has served to make the Turks more brutal, and defenseless Christians have been butchered very much after the style of Sitting Dull when he falls upon a pioneer village. It is plain, therefore, that the war will not be urged against the Sultan in the defense of Christianity or the Greek church, and it is quite possible that the Turks may f.nd again, as was the case in the Crimean war, their best and most powerful friends among governments the most boastful of their civilization. Evidently the war, if it begins, will be a war for territorial conquest, and the dismemberment of Turkey, if other powers stand aloof, is inevitable. The civilization of Turkey, if civilization it may be called, stands in direct antagonism to Christian civilization. In this we do not refer to the religion of the Turks, but to all those other evidences of thrift and progress that distinguish the march of Christian nations. Turkey in Europe has anacra of about 110,000 square miles, and though abounding in resources, is the least productive of any country on tlie continent. The population of European Turkey is set clown at 8,500,000, of these 2.200,000 are Turks proper, and the remainder is made up of Christians and Jews of the latter, however, there arc only 70,000. From a material standpoint, leaving all other considerations out of the question, the Turks may be regarded as a barrier to progress. In this regard they are little better than so many North American savages. They can not be enlightenad or improved. There is no impelling power in the Koran except to influence believers to kill those who do not beHevJ it. Turkey ' " in Europe is a nuisance that ought to be abated a huge tumor that ought to to be removed. If Russia will perform this service for civilization and for mankind in general, Christendom should bid her God speed in the good work. England's ambition ought not to stand in the way of so great a triumph. There is certainly room enough in Asia for England and Russia to ojt erate. Fortunately, the probabilities are that Germany, Austria and Italy will Took with favor uxm the plans of Russia. The United States has no sympathy wjth the Turks. If war conies it will create an active market for our surplus products and will add millions to the wealth of the country, and, since it is a war in the interest of progress and civilization, it can only be postponed to the detriment of mankind. SOUTH CAUOLIVA. As the days go by the situation o South Carolina becomes more desperate and deplorable. The outrages perjrtrtrated have no parallel in American history, not even under the reign of Grantism. True, Grant ordered his soldiers to bayonet the legislature of a soverign state, to disperse it by force of arms, and install a band of usurpers. The movement was in the interest of the most infamous set of adventures and plunderers that ever throttled the liberties of the people. The act was a monstrous crime, and as such has passed into history. Rut in toe case of South Carolina, the perfidy of Grant's course is undisguised. There is absolutely nothing t shield it from luerritcd loathing and indignation. The w hole proceeding is based upon a series of falsehoods so atrocious and so transparent that none but the blindest and bitterest partisans attempt to excuse them. In tlie cae of Louisiana, Gen. Phil Sheridan wanted Grant to declare the white population banditti, that he might send hia sol-

diers among them to shoot them down like j eleeted, or hear a loud-mouthed blatherwild beasts. Rut the proposition was too ' ite assertinj? what is to be done with the monstrous. A wave of indignation 'Uihern claims under a Democratic adminswept over the whole country, and Phil. itmtion, you may set them down as hirrd Sheridan was not -.ermiUed toVarry out his miisaries of Zack Chaivller's coiamittee.

The New York Tribune in an article treating of Grant's proclamation is compelled by sheer force of public opinion, o utter some wholesome truths upon the subject. More than once, says that aier: I'nlted States troops have been sent Into states In order to keep thieves in office. More than once the pntiUlent has nil ployed the army, not to protect i Mate itKainsi domestic violence, but to protect the Republican party against defeat. It would be, with res-ct to that jKirty, but just retribution if the wolf-cry, falsely rai.seii so often, kIiouM at last recoil with fatal effect when raisoil with reason. Rut what would b. the result to tlu country? We have no right to nee the constitution tniiijletl nmk-r foot tx-cuuse there have leen crimes committed in its uiiute. No just and honest man will nay that free overnm.'iit outfit to be stniied out in Xouih Carolina beciius Ciov. Ames, of Mississippi, deserved defeat. Tills exse must star.d by itself. What is it? At the outset Republican may us well fact tili' facts. The scoundrelly Kovenmicnt which they set up and sustained has robbed tlie stale into patiMrism. In a series of letters to the Tribune three years ivo James S. Pike )rtrnyed the masquerade of bandit .in the truise of legislators so vividly that from that day to tills South Carolina lias been known liy't lie name lie yave it The Prostrate Mate. That every honest citizen hhould strive to overt li row the party that inaugurated and sustained this srt of government, is not to be wondered ut. That they should say frankly to ignorant necroes, Ifyou voto to sustain thieves, we will not hire you,' may be deplorable, but is certainty not unnatural." To change this purpose of honest men is the reason why soldiers are now in South Carolina. It is the determination to keep tlie prostrate state forever prostrate. Liberty is murdered in tho interest of Hayes. Disorder is inaugurated that an odious party may triumph. JCo wonder that the eop!e of the North and Wet arc becoming alarmed. If troops may be marched into South Carolina upon the call of a notorious adventurer for the base purjiose of fulhering his individual schemes and saving the sinking fortunes of an odious party, why may they not be ordered into Indiana, Massachusetts or any other state? When the liberties of the people of one state are invaded and struck down by military despotism, the wrong expands till it embraces all the states and every freeman iu the land;it becomes their cause anil their struggle. To ignore the issue is to turn craven to abandon the clearest rights of the citizen and tamely put on the yoke of servitude. The signs of the times clearly indicate that Americans arc not sufficiently dentortdized and degenerated to do this, and in November will, by their votes, place a party in lower that will rule without destroying the constitutional guarantees of states and the inalienable rights of citizens. KJICAL TRICKS. Some new Republican electioneering" tricks have been discovered. Zack Chandler has employed a lot of unscrupulous men to write letters to Northern papers and appear in large crowds, repres-.:itsng themselvesto be Southern Democrats. These tnenwriTe confidently and talk loudly about what will be done when Tilden is elected. They allege that they have large claims against tlie Government for property destroyed during the rebellion and that they have been promised ' pay when the Democracy comes into jniwer. A few days ago one of these fellow wrote a letter to the Journal of tlijs city, dating it from a Southern town, in which he claimed that he had been promised pay for his de stroyed property if Mr. Tilden was elected. The Journal endorsed the letter and commented upon it, but the fraud was too transparent to deceive any one with intelligence above an oyster. There are, however, some men so blinded by prejudice as to be unable to see an object unless it is "within an inch of their noses; and to such the Journal's letter may have been accepted as gospel truth. Such men believe Bob Ingersoll to be a Christian and lien Butler an honest man, but to those not entirely lost to common sense wc would say that there has been a regular system of fraud and lying inaugurated by the National Republican Committee on the subject of Southern claims. A few days ago a man was orating loudly on the Centennial grounds at Philadeltdiia about his claims against the government for the loss of property destroyed by the war, and the promises which had been made him by the Democracy when it came into power. A gentleman from Toledo, a Repmbliean, recognized the pretended Southern claimant as a Radical county officer from Northern Ohio, and was so disgusted with his lying fctatoments, that "he gave him away." Whenever you read a letter in a Republican paper pretending to be from a Southern rebel, advertiing the promises the Democracy has made him when Tilden h

by the Republican party in the South, and in its usual courteous and refined manner of expression characterizes it as 'iyiug,'' and that in reference to Southern war claims hail never arisen, nor was it antieijKited. We don't know exactly what term Radical invention graced the dignitary by, but by the l-ople where be presided, he was called "Judge,M and his court was designated a 'uri claims. It might have leen ignorance of the true names of the court and the presiding officer, but they were so termed. The individual made ä circuit of the different county seats, and sat in cham1crs so many days in each. The truly loyal, who had claims, real or imaginary, against the government, were required to present themselves before him and prove in a regular and formal way, first, their loyalty to the United States government during the war, and next, the extent ami value of the property injured or destroyed. To this functionary they paid a certain fee, and the result of their pains, was a subsequent period of protracted waiting and considerable cursing, followed by no further notice of their loyal ty part of "tlie or their demands, on the jikVe" or tlie government. These edifying little entertainments were being afforded as late as ls7:, and to be ajK)inted to the jxisition of boss of the investigation (the Journal can call it what it pleases) was regarded as a desirable thing and much bitter emulation was excited among deposed gauge rs and assessors in their struggle for the vacancy wherever one would occur. The assertion of the Journal that the real Court of Claims was established during a Democratic administration is j of course a c lincher, and is evidently de signed to show that as far back as 1SÖ5 the prophetic devilishiicss of the Democratic party forecast the claims business growing out of the war, and they sat about with diabolieal ingenuity to batch s plan o accept and pay them when they should arise ten years later. Twenty-five years ago the sermons of Dow, jr., enjoyed great popularity with the people. One of the most opular of. these sermons was from this text: "Tobacco is an Indian weed; 'Twas the Devil Who Sowed the Seed." Mr. . Wishard, the pastor .of the Presbyterian ( hun h at Franklin, seems to be a believer in the doctrines, taught by the quaint divine' to whom we have referred. At the late synod of the Presbyte rian church in this citv he offered u resolu tion which classed tobacco with intoxicating drinks. "We are satisfied that Rrother Wishard is a stringer to both tobacco and whisky, else he would not have placed them in the same category. He has never enjoyed tha luxury of a post prandial cigar.and felt his nerves tingle as it3 delightful influence ran through the nerve channels and permeated the entire system. One of the ablest of his profession. Mr. Spurgeon, has declared that he has blessed God in his cigar. If v. e should blcs? our Creator for the good tilings of this world, why hot thank Him for the b: st Cuba stock in Connecticut wrappers? They' soothe th nerves; allay irritation, and make one a bcKcr Christian for tluir u.c. Resides, eyery mrm who smokes his vigar is performing a patriotic duty. Brother Wishard will not deny that, it is the duty of the citizen to pay tribute to Casar, and how can be do it so pleasantly as iu converting good tobacco into smoke? L'very time lie consumes a cigar lie iays tribute to the government and helps to make good the money stolen by whisky rings and revenue thieves. We are ßlad to observe that Dr. Ilcckman, president of Hanover College, came to the rescue of the delightful weed and had Mr. Wishard's resolution laid on the table. It is probable the doctor is acquainted with the subject he discussed, and can tell a domestic 'toby" from a Havana Principe by the flavor of its smoke; at all events, he knows a good thing when he smells it, and did not allow the business man's solace to be sat upon and squelched without raising his voice in" protest. On behalf of tlie revenue officers of the government, as well as all those who know a good thing when they smoke it, we thank Dr. Heckman for lifting up his voice against classing the delicious narcotic with crooked tanglefoot. REBEL CLAIMS. The war claim bugaboo is about played out. The facts make it appear that the Radicals are the chaps who have hoped to feather their nests with Rebel war claims. Republicans themselves established a ''Southern claims" commission, and tlie records show that the danger of paying Rebel claims lies in the success of the Republican and not the Democratic party. The Fortythird Congress, says an exchange, was as Republican in Loth branches, the Republian war claims committee of that Congress reported favorably on 100 claims, which called for f".Sl,000. Per contra, the Democratic war claims committee of the Fortyfourth Congress, at its last session, reported favorably on only 52 of these cla'ms, and

the amount called for was but $21.,:JG1, of j which only $T-4,I.'i;5 was actually passed by the Democratic House. Here, then, we have j the following: j

Claims recommended by u ItejHiblican Congress. . .. S.kSSl,X) Claims recoioni'-adcd by a leiijoeratic Congress .'. 21ö;VU That is, fo every dollar recommended to be aid by a Democratic Hoiise, twenty-five dollars were recommended by a Republican House! We rejieat then, that the danger i laying too many "Rebel Claims" is twentyfive times as great with the Republicans irv jHjwer as with the Democ rats. WHAT TILDEN" S.VYK. Tlie most reckless defamers of Governor Tilden, give him credit for shrewdness. He takes in the entire situation, anl with wonderful self-poise, calculates the chances from excitement. He know New York "like ä lKKik." He knows tl influences that are at work and the owerof the forces with which he has to eon tend. He is represented as con thu nt of Mtcec-ss-r-a New York correspondent f the Hartford Times under date of October 1, writes as foEnwsi (Sovemor Tilden and the members of the State National C tiiimittee tire nwre than satisrted with the result of the first battle. It has inspired them uith an absolute coiuidenee in complete triumph next month. All doubt has disappeansl. ith Indiana positively n-ssurcd to the Reform ticket, it is reirartled here ns an established certainty that Tililen and Hendricks will have a large majority of the electoral vote. Close calculation jus to how the vote will stamk ive Tilden about thirty over Hayes, and thLsdoes not incluiic alvuit twenty votes which are more likely to be Democratic than liepuijilican. 5overnor Tilden now counts on it majority of ü,ti0 in New York, lie lias made a careful survey of the entire held and ho is confident that the figuivsO named are not too hili. The New York Times lias been and continues to be, one of the most blatant defamcrs of the goMl name U Samuel J. Tilden, 1 eniocrutie candidate for President and now, since Tweed has been caught the Times endeavors, by insinuations, to make the impression that Tilden stands in dread of disclosures that may lie made by Tweed. The Times, says the Buffalo Courier, "may forgct, but the public remembers that its own columns have most distinctly and conclusively testified to the relation that existed between the reform governor and the returning fugitive from justice tiie relation, namely, that exists lietween the thief-catcher and tlie thief, In its issue of October 2(i, 171, the Times published the proofs of Tweed's felony, and commented on them, thus: "Here we have, thanks to the labors of Mr. Samuel J. Tilden, full and conclusive evidence that William M. Tweed differs only from a common thief in having stolen tens of thousands instead of tens of dollars. . We refer to the atr.lavit of Mr. Tilden for a detailed account of how the disosal of the money was traced." And if the Times or its echoes shall fall back on their stale afterthought that at any rate Mr. rilclen was scllLJi and insincere in what he did, we have the Times' word for it, uttered so lately as in September, ISTI, that "no one ever supposed Mr. Tilden acted from interested motives" in ridding New York of the Tammany thieves. Mr. Tildcn's fame as a reformer is too securely founded to be atlccted by lying partisan assaults, and it is the peculiar curse of his worst detractors that they themselves helped to build tlie structure against which they now dash their heads in vain." If Haves curries this state in November, as he certainly will if IUpublicaus do their duty, it will b :i far jrreater defeat and mortification for Mr. Hendricks than if tlie state had gone entirely Republican at the late election. Journal. "If Republicans do their duty!" What duties, pray, did Republicans leave unperformed at the late election? what falsehood unpublished? what slander unproelainied? What fraud was omitted? The '-bloody shirt" wxs waved; efforts were made to intlame the minds of soldiers and citizens. Money, obtained by the basest Jjpans, was expended without stint, Officeholders rolled- up their sleeves and worked as if their I'.Tes deluded upon th result. All these Republican duties were performed with a fidelity worthy of abetter cause. What' more can Republicans do? Will they ask for soldiers? Will they import more ballot-box stuffers? f Will they stand by and indorse more negro tramps? If just so if All äeconüte from Pennsylvania are most cheering. TltC Keystone state is getting ready to take her fhec in the Democratic ranks. There is no necessity, says the Pittsburg Post, "in placing . Pennsylvania among the doubtful states. The recent elec tions removed that doubt, and all that is required is to poll the Democratic vote and the tdd Keystone state will give her electors to Tilden and Hendricks. The courts in Philadelphia are busy striking illegal names from the registry list, and there is a reasonable hope that the Republicans will not poll more than fifteen thousand fraudulent votes. This will not be enough to counterbalance the uprising of honest people throughout the balance of the state." More Evidence. IFrom the Terre Haute Express. A new link in the strong chain of circumstantial evidence which convicts Anson Wolcott of having sold to the Republican 1arty on the eve of election, has come to our ;nowledge. It will be remembered that the first intimation of Woleott's treachery came to the Indejiendenta through the intercetionof a letter written by Wolcoft to Olleman, asking that certain change be made in his letter declining the nice. Mr. McKee, who was at that time editor of The Indianapolis Hun, informs us that he received from Woleott, the same day that the letter making corrections wtts received, a note requesting that he should state emphatically in the issue of the Sun, then just going to press, that there was no foundation whatever for the reort of bis (Woleott's) withdrawal. The Sun, it is well known, is a weekly newspaper, and reaches more Independents than any other publication in tlie state. Woleott's design is plain. He hoped to have his declination held back until a time so near the election that its publication would throw the Indeendcnts into inextricable confusion and disaster. To accomplish this he

conveyed to Independent- the most sole mn assurances that he would not withdraw at the very time when his letter of withdrawal was in the hands of the Republican leader. Stronger circumstantial evidence of Iiis villiany than this can hardly le expected.
