THE CITY ELECTION. The election which took place yesterday resulted, as was generally expected, in favor

of the' radicals. The vote was unusually small for Indianapolis. As a general thing, the campaign awakened little enthusiasm, and a large number of voters remained away from the polls, the democrats suffering most from the ajathy. Major Mitchell made a gallant race, but he had a formidable competitor, and was defeated. Mayor Caven, however, ran behind his ticket, but was evidently the strongest man the rads could have nominated for the office. It is quite useless to catalogue the real or supposed forces that were in operation to bring about the result, though it is well under-, stood that the radicals did not abandon their old methods of success. The city had been mapped out to suit the occasion, and other appliances of a similar character forhonesty were not overlooked. The workingmen's vote, while it accomplised nothing for their candidates, being largely drawn from the democratic party, contributed to the success of the rad.-, and therefore to the injury of every important interest. It vwill not be denied that the democrats were without special organisation, and entered the campaign with an admission that they could not win the day. This was a mistaken policy, for if the campaign had commenced sooner, and had been prosecuted with a bold and aggressive spirit, the probabilities are that a different result would have been achieved. There is, however, nothing in the result to dispirit democrats, but very much to inspire them with the importance of a thorough, compact organization and harmoniou3 action in future contests. This accomplished, victory in stead of defeat will crown their labors when next they are called upon to overthrow rad icalism in Indianapolis. As the case now stands, the city will have to submit to rad ical rule and ruin for two years longer, by which time the indignation of the people will be sufficiently intensified to demand re trenchment, reform and a democratic admin istration. THAXKNGIVIXO IX LOUISIANA. Governor Nicholls has thought it wise and prudent to issue his proclamation fixing day in the near future to be set apart as a day of thanksgiving and prayer and public worship for the deliverance of the people of Louisiana from bayonet rule. The docu ment reads as follows: Whereas, The political troubles which havo weighed upon the people of the state of Ixw lülana for past years have under the merciful dispensation of the providence of Uod been brought to a harpy end : and Whereas, It is meet that at the hour of their deliverance and union the people should re turn thanks for danger pasäed and seek strength to fulfill the promises held out by the dawning ot an auspicious future: therefore J, Krauels T. Nicholls, governor of the täte of Louisiana, do issue this, my proclamation nxing Thursday, the 10th day of May, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and do invite all the go! people of this state on Raid day to abMaiu from their several avocations, and to re sort to their several places of public worship, there to offer up their hearts In thanksgiving to that divine and merciful Providence who has vouchsafed to guide them to a haven of peace and union, and to ask at Ills hands for the future the blessings of His divine guid ance, so that au me people of the state, forget ting past aissensions anu bitterness, may unite in lainumentoi a common ana nap; destiny. Evidently Governor Nicholls has acted wisely in this matter. The resurrection o Louisiana ' from the dead is an historical event of the greatest importance and signifi cance, and we are glad to know that the peo ple of that state feel thankful, and are singing with all the lung power they can command "Sound the loud timbrel o'er Lake Poncher train; 'Xichllt has triumphed and Packard is Klain." But we hold that Louisiana is not the only state that feels thankful and devout over the downfall of radicalism in the south, and the whole country could With eminent propriety join in the thanksgiving movement. It will doubtless be borne in mind by the Louisiana worshippers that the Almighty works by instrumentalities in controlling the affairs of the world, whether it be in the way of blessings or punishments. In the case of relieving Louisiana and the south of carpet bag rule, it is manifestly true that the chosen instrumentality was the democratic party. Public sentiment was first to be aroused. This the democratic party accomplished, and under the influences which it created one by one the southern states have been .emancipated- froiu the infernal despoiisnrof carpet-baggers and bayonets, and a grander work was never achieved. When Grant was overthrowing state govern ments with bayonets and ordering federal troops to tand guard while carpet-baggers perpetrated frauds, the democratic party was everywhere at work convincing the people that his policy was a crime, and in November 4he American people, by a ma jofity of more than a quarter" of ' a million, said the democratic party was right Evi dently the -roie of the people was the veice of God. The fiat of Jehovah went forth, and to-day tbe south "stands redeemed, re'generated, disenthralled by tho irresistible" pewer of public' sentiment created by the democratic party. Jrt . matters oot that Hayes, who was the standard-bearer of the party that made the "bloody shirt1 its battle nag, was competiea to command the re moval of the troop, foe Lid he been a paving 8(4 ne instead of, a presidential fraud the Almiguty would fca-ve SLade hint issue the onJer. The '-teath -of carpet-bagwrB. im the couth is national blessing, and therefore 11 the peopf-e, may with propriety iin the inhabitants of Louisiana on the 10th of XJay in giving thaniu. Oorernor Willi aiafl 'may not deem ft necessary to issue a proclamation; nevertheless there are thousands end - tens of thousands of tbe people of Indiana who will not be unmindful of .Louisianaon the 10th day of May. ' ' 1 ; Mb. Naval Contractor Haxscok has bee forced to step down and oat. The new sec retary of the navy, Colonel Dick' Thompson, has sugpected for, . Jong time that, he was rattier' "crooked' in- his A u ties and opera tionv It is aaid tbaf he had been Eobeson's

right hand man during the long swindling career of the late secretary of the navy, and also a secret partner with all the principal contractors, giving out contracts to incompetent parties, through which operations and contracts the government has lost annually thousands of dollars. Mr. Hanscom has been simply "on the make," as nine-tenths of the radical appointees have been for years past. Thus one by one the roses fade. Hanscom, farewell! Peace to thy ashes!

THE nUKATiri'DE OF HAYES. They say John A. Logan has become disgusted with Hayes and bis administration, and has accepted service under the Russian czar in his advance on the festive Turk. Logan made a fair fighter, and may win fame and renown in the Russian army. But to think of the manner in which Hayes is going back on tbs very men who helped him into the presidency is simply disgusting. He never could have reached the presidency if Morton, Blaine, Logan, Zach Chandler and others had deserted him in Iiis movements toward the presidency. Blaine is so angry at the manner in which he has been treated tbatTie is reported as "mad as a 'bull," almost requiring confinement in a straight jacket or within the walls of an insane asylum to keep him within proper bounds. "Wendell Phillips roundly denounces Hayes and his administration. Packard and Chamber ain have written scathing letters to the Ohio pretender, now seated in Mr. Tilden's chair at Washington, broadly charging that their claims to the governorship of their respective states are better than his own claims, and that if they have no rights as governors he has none as president; that he has deserted them basely and ungratefully when they were largely instrumental in arranging the returning board machinery which in its workings placed hira in the chair he now occupies. Zach Chandler left Washington in disgust, and, it is now reported, met the old cabinet at Don Cameron's, in Harrisburg, Tenn., for the purpose of '.having a meeting of the "mutually disgusted," and laying the foundation for a broad and systematic opposition to the pretender and his ad ministration. Old Simon Cameron, one of the old wheel horses of radicalism, so soon as the tendency of the pretender's policy dawned upon him, said; "Well, it beats hell;" resigned his seat" in the United States senate and, thoroughly disgusted, sought retirement in the kingdom that he had ruled for many years his own dear Pennsylvania. Morton only keeps quiet that he may reward his party friends with the post offices, pension agencies and other fat pickings that are afloat Hayes of course is glad to keep him quiet at so small a cost and so, for the present, the Indiana senator and the Ohio pre tender can sleep peacefully and quietly under the same blanket. Thus we see the very men who have aided the pretender into the presidency are the very men toward whom he is displaying the utmost ingratitude, the contemplation of which sends Logan to the service of Russia, Blaine almost to the verge of insanity, Zach Chandler into schemes of retributive reVenge, old Simon Cameron into banishment, and our own Morton into the soothing refuge of post offices and pension agencies. "We do not pity these distinguished "counters-in" of pretenders to presidencies and vice presidencies. Hayes had a record which ought to have warned them that he was not trustworthy and not reliable as to his promises. He had broken two alreadyone that he would not be a candidate against Mr. Taft for the governorship of Ohio, and one that he would never accept the presidency if there was any doubt as to his title, or, to use his own language, "If 'tainted with fraud." The old adage that honor dwells among thieves is at fault. In the greatest theft of the century we find the chiefs and ringleaders untrue to each other, and falling out among themselves when they come to a division of the swag. 9IORTOST OX THE MAKE. The New York Sun thinks that Morton's proposed lectures and magazine articles will "invite attention, even if they do not command respect" No doubt of it. We believe Morton would be a grand success in the lecture field that is, he would draw and pay any sharp adventurer who would advertise him well and let the people know that the great 0. P. M. would be in town on a certain day, just as Barnura advertises his big shows "no postponement on account of weather.1' Bcecher receives $500 per night for lecturing. - Colfax has made quite a snug little fortune in the lecture field. Why not Morton? . If be would tell all he knows of how Hayes was "counted in," or give sketches of Washisgton life by gas light, at fifty cents per head, - his fortune is - assured." - if he objects to talking before an audience, then some enterprising showauan would no doubt be glad to give him au engagement as one of th, attractions of a tide show attached to Barnuta's big tents or to one f the wandering circus companies which ere this is on, the suouaer campaign. We want the country people to become amiliar with each particular feature of - our noble eenator's ace, and we Lnow of no surer plaa than to make him tbehief attraction of the sum mer side show.. All that is needful then would be a big lusty fellow with healthy lung power on the outside of the tent to tell tbe folks what was within, and some plaintive, soothing DUHM, to attract attention say &e bagpipes or a hand organ. Here is a wld ield for enterprise, some capital, and cheek.' , We are not envious, and so we say success to the new enterprise. It has the. I Sentinel" blessine. .

DEAD FOR A DUCAT.

The Tragic Result of a Quarrel Abou' a Dollar and a Halt Boston Wer Chops a Creditor to 11 ere with an Axe A Horrible Crime. From the Boston Globe, 27th The developments in the tragedy at the Highlands, where the Swiss, Samuel Kuhl, met his death in a horrible manner recorded yesterday, are man', and again show on how slight provocation a man's life is blotted out. The detectives were engaged throughout the day' yesterday in collecting the evidence and in carefully examining the premises where the murder w;, committed. From Ziegler's Vue-it was learned that he c&mo home late on Sunday n .-i i and lay down without removing his clotnes. Mrs. Ziegler has greatly assisted the detectives by stating all she knows of the case, and has made a full explanation of the facts in regard to her husband's habits and conduct since Sunday. She said that he pave ' her sums amounting to f 35 and a watch, which she has delivered to the detectives. When anested he had but about $3 or $4 on his ferson, and he can not account for any sum arger than $ 15. Mr. Jacob Nauer, the proprietor of the beer saloon on Tremont street, says that Ziegler came to his saloon Monday, and as he was not accompanied by Kuhl, as it was supposed he would be, he was questioned in regard to the matter and said that Kuhl Lad gone, intending to convey the impression that he had gone to Europe. Yesterday noon the detectives engaged in the case found Zeigler's Sunday clothes and two handkerchiefs in the dye-house on üeorge street, stowed away on a beam, the parwaloons and vest being quite liberally stained with blood. About $70 of the money which Ziegler took from his victim has been traced, it having been sien by the murderer since Sunday.J Ziegler is still confined In Station IX., and none but the detectives are allowed to converse with him. The large amount of liquor which he has drank lately has greatly allected him and CAVSED HIM TO ACT RATHER STRANGELY since his arrest. He slept soundly Wednes day night, and awoke yesterday morning with an attack of what appeared to be delir ium tremens, but it is said that this was in vented. During the forenoon he walked up and down bis cell, muttering incoherently, and occasionally exclaimed "Was struck At 4:30 yesterday afternoon Zeigler seemed quite rational, and he was taken from his cell at btation IX. and conducted to a room up stairs, where, in the presence of coroner Morse and detectives Dearborn and bkelton, Ziegler made the following detailed confes sion of his crime: ziegler's confession Ziegler said he was 40 years old; born in Switzerland; saw Kuhl on Sunday; Kuhl came to the dye-house, and after he (Ziegler) had his dinner they went oil together; went to a Swiss singing club'on Tremont street; stayed there about two hours and then went to Jacob Nauer's saloon on Tremont street; then went to a place kept by Nicholas Berresheim.No. 1 Prescott place.near the dyehouse; stayed there till aoout 11 p. m.;went down and stood in front of a Mrs. Stepper's house on the same street. This was about 11:30 o'clock, and Mrs. Stepper says she saw Ziegler trvmg to get Kuhl to go along with him. Both of them were "pretty full." Went back to the shop about 11:30 o'clock; he (Ziegler) was chopping wood for the fur nace so as to have it ready in the morning; Kuhl owed hira $1.50; they had a bottle of brandy and they drank about three-fourths of it; then they got into a quarrel about he $1.50 Kuhl owed wouldn't give him but insisted on having $1.50; got . mad ' and hit him kicked him in the stomach. him; Kuhl $1 and he Kuhl finally (Ziegler) and Ziegler illustrated the operation in pantomime at this point Got up and took Kuhl by the throat and took the axe and hit him over the head. and Kuhl lav down and was "no good (dead) got a bag and carried Kuhl up stairs and laid him on the lounge; took his money, which had fallen on the door in the boiler room, where the quarrel took place; put the money in his pocket and went home; couldn't sleep; got up at 5:30 the next morning; went back to the dye-house; TUT THE BODY IN A BAG and took it down stairs again into the boilerroom, buried it in the rubbish and went away. Came back again and went up stairs, and took chlorate of lime and soda and tried to wash away the blood-stains from the sofa and wall. Ziegler further stated that he only struck Kuhl one blow with the axe; but tbe skull 8 ho ws that a number ot blows were dealt He says he has given, his wife some of (he money and spent a lot of it himself. The detectives do not believe that the murder was committed down stairs in the boiler room, as Zeigler alleges, .as the blood was all spattered on and about the lounge up stairs, on the partition wall and even on the ceiling, which is nine feet high a fact which would seem to Drove that tbe deed was done while Kuhl was lying on the sofa and, as is supposed, asleep. The detectives say that the murder was done for money, and not in the heat of a sudden quarrel, aa Ziegler says was the case, though it is admitted that both men were thoroughly drunk at the time. On the morning following,the day of the murder Ziegler, tried the experiment of burning some oyster shells in a furnace for the pur pose, it is believed, of creating an odor which would overpower any scent of the corpse, which might have attracted attention to the place. Keaator Iongr las'a Flrat Appmnuifc In Illlnol. Senator Douglas's advent into Illinois is tlius graphically described in tbe following paper read before tbe "Association ot the 6ona of Vermont" in Chicago, at a late meeting in that city: WixcHESTEK, HL, March 14, 1877. R Fii Wllllfi"i FfT"nT V"-""t cgrw.la- . tion: . - f . You ask me to send a letter about 'your early associations ith the Hon. Stephen A.

I was forcibly struck with toe frankness -(be young man, for be was not 21 years old then, and learning that he 'Was from Brandon, Vermont, and (I from Bridgeport, 12 or 15 miles apart, though we had never seen each'other. before, yet our sympathies were at once united ana I assisted him in getting him subscribers for his school. In our little town of log huts then we had quite a respectable frame schoolhouse, which is in existence .yet though attached to other buildings and con

stituting a machine shop. Douglas commenced his school under favorable circumstances. I had a small room attached to my store room, where J had a bed, a desk and stove, and he spent his evenings and lodged with me. We had formed a lyceum that fall, and met every week in the school house. In this lycium Douglas made the first speech he ever made in Illinois. In the spring of 1834 he went to Jacksonville, and was admitted to the bar. Samuel D. Lockwood, judge, told him he would sign the certificate, but he must apply himself closer to the study of the law. As he would not commence the practice of the law he wished him to help him to a position in company with Josiah Lam born, a prominent young lawyer then there, afterward attorney general for Illinois under Governor Carlin or tord. Lamborn refused to take him into company, telhn me tnat he (Douglas) did

"Uk AI,UV "L.iough law to write out a deryara. on-, and h wanted some one mor familiar with law books. I told Larnboa that Douglas was a promising young man and would make his mark in the World, and if he did com to Jncksonville he would get in some of the lawyers' way before many years. He rented -a room and "hung out his shingle," and he did get in their way before I thought he would. Jacksonville then had as able a bar as now. In politics they were all, or nearly all, whigs, while a majority of the voters of Morgan county (Scott and Cass counties were then in Morgan) were democrats, ana they were without a leader. Douglas saw his opportunity, and it was not long oeiore he had the party so organized that it looked to him for counsel, and the "Little Giant'' from that time on went up wie pomicai laader more rapidly than any other Yermonter that ever came to this state. Edward G. Miner. THE WHITE IIOrSE. Tbe Temperance Cyclone and Its Effect. THE CAPITAL. This sumect, that has so deeply azitated the circles, triangles and squares of Wash ington, has, alter solemn consideration on the part of the cabinet, male and female, regular, irregular and defective, constitutional and kitchen, been put finally to rest. We are to have wine at the white house. Our venerable and venerated Saai Ward, who has been holding himself in a state of organized indignation meeting, adjourned tine die and refreshed the indignant organization with some choice old wine given him by Bismarck in. return for a recipe Uncle Samuel sent that eminent statesman for the better mode of boiling a haru. The Hon. William Evarts, nearly exhausted by the protracted struggle, retired to his rooms at Wormley's, where, after a bath of asses' milk furnished him by the great Henri-Belgian-Pot-metal-Smooth-bore Sanfwaar, he gave audience to a few friends, and quite recovered his strength and spirits over a collation of old wines. The jolly sea dog, late of the Wah-bosh, hastened to his cabin in the navy department buildings, and calling in some old moss-covered, cockle-shelled pumps, bronght out his brown jug well filled with the best of seasoned rye, and adminii-tered the same by word of mouth, and amid much "shivering of timbers," "blasting of eye3" and hitching up of pantaloons, they all rejoiced with exceeding great joy. Nothing so disturbs the old jacktars, moss-covered and cockle-shelled of the navy department as to threaten his grog. By the bye. we have furnished us from the coast of the Wah-bosh the log of the Aerial Goose, kept during a perilous voyage of that celebrated craft under the command of fhe now secretary of the navy, then skipper, that we propose giving our readers at an early day. It is full of thrilling adventures, and exhibits the seaman-like ability of this ancient mariner in a way to inspire confidence of the deepest sort in the minds of a pensive public The poetic Mephistophelean secretary of the interior hurried home, after giving an order for an unlimited supply of lager and pretzels, and opening his piano, soothed his weary soul with ' dreamy melodies from Chopin. John Sherman found relief and relaxation in turning out a number of poor women and reducing the public debt to the extent of $3 37. John took a glass of ice water that served to stimulate him to such an extent that he said he could see distinctly a resumption of specie payment in '79. The postmaster general fell into the arms of Tyner, his wicked partner, and wept. He said, between sobs, that what with the agitation of these grave state questions and the war in Europe, he did not know what would become of him but for his Tyner. . The attorney general, who did not lose his leg, but did lose his head at Ball's Bluff, and is always threatened with like trouble in moments of great excitement followed the example of the late paternal Taft, and. ordering a mild purgative from Thompson's went into a state of profound repose for the space of a day. The whole question was settled from a sanitary point of view. The secretary of war, who drinks only water, and was considered the right bower to use a popular phrase which we do not understand ot the temperance movement, was induced by our diplomatic William, of the state department, to call in Doctor Verdi, half brother to A Trovatore, and member of the board of health. Dec tor Ycrdi stated that the white house was unfortunately situated in the immediate neighborhood of the Kid well Bottoms, and that under the circumstances the water of the Potomac was highly injurious, not to say fatal, and that he would not answer for the life of tbe president if such a course were persisted In. While he deprecated the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage as a medicinal remedy they were invaluable. He would then recommend their use in a homeopathic manner, small doses frequently repeated. He would say further that he had an excellent article of Cond u ran go bitters that, taken in conjunction with the Odorless Eicavating Company, would insure the highest state of health to the administration. ' This settled it, for Verdi gave his statement with such learning, larding it with such terrible words in naming the diseases likely to be brought about by a conjunction of Potomac water and Kidwell Bottoms, that the ladies turned pale. Mrs. Haves immediately telegraphed to Fremont to have a large quantity of" currant wine and raspberry shrub, bequeathed Rutherford by his late uncle; also, for some excellent blackberry sirup, prepared by her own fair hands, that is a most excellent remedy indeed, a sovereign cure for disturbed digestion, such as summer complaint, cholera .. morbus and wind colic. : i . .- . t It is now arranged that at all state dinners given to distinguished loreigners wine, as heretofore, is to oe given; out at amners at tended by American citizens we are to have currant wine, raspberry shrub and blackberry sirup. -. .

From February 3 to April 14, 603 emigrants sailed from New York for Sidney. New South Wales. Three children under eight years old left home in Brooklyn Friday noon to gather chips, and have disappeared. A Nebraska paper says that tree planting has become a mania among the people of that state. There is method in that madness. The latest style of parasoL t i,wv,v iir,i,i .- -e learn from in a rin;;nv;,r7. .be .had y .- needle, a knitting One millinery store in Boston has obtained enviable notoriety by the fact that 57 young women clerks have been married from it within seven years. There is a new thing on the carpet with the English nobility. When guests come todinner they are served by the ladies of the house. This has an economical look. The St. Louis Journal has discovered that the gallant heroes who saved so many lives at the burning of the Southern hotel are much more numerous now than thev mereon the night of the fire. A large number of applications have been made at both tbe Russian and Turkish consulates in New York for the enlistment of soldiers, which have been refused, there being no authority to do so. It is proposed to hold a convention of the aeronauts of the United States, in Philadelphia, in July, for mutual aid and instruction, and the exhibition of the various improved balloons, air ships, etc. Miss Adelaide Neilson, at her benefit in San Francisco recently, wore in her hair a diamond weighing 31'karais, the largest ever worn on any stage in the United States. It is set in frosted gold leaves and valued at $10,000. Sometimes when a man is to be hung for outrage and murder, churchy women send him beautiful bouquets, while the grave of the poor child and 'the home of the heartbroken parents are left unadorned. What humbugs we humans sometimes are! The coroner's jury in the case of the burning of the Southern hotel in SL Louis, was evidently afraid of hurting somebody's feelings. It therefore neglected to get at tbe facts; it didn't learn as much as the live newspaper man knew twelve hours after the tire. Professor George Coleman, of Fhiladelphra. has built a balloon 85 feet high and 50 feet in diameter, which is to be inflated with hot air from a furnace located in the basket. After experimental trips, he promises to make one across the Atlantic, starting from Cape May in July. The recent Claghorn sale of pictures in New York was a notable event in the art world, and yielded a pretty pile of money, but it falls into insignificance compared with the auction of Baron Grant's collection at London last week, which fetched the prodigious sum of $750,000. Ladies in pinned back skirts suffered greatly last summer from heat, but for the coming season the new styles of dress, the Bretonne costume and the princesse robe and polonaise, demand free, flowing outlines. These styles are properly displayed by the fashionable wire panier skirts. Baron Grant's pictures, which have been undet the hammer in London during the past week, brought altogether 90,000. They are said to have cost him much more than this, having been bought with more liberality than knowledge. Two days' sale of the Oppenheim pictures in Paris realized 925,000 francs.
