COUNT vON ARNIM has been released from imprisonment.” Whether he has given up the state papers retained by him is not stated. -IJe will be regularly tried in a short time. Being a man of gréat wealth, the aristocracy of Germany aroused considerable sympathy for the disobedient count.

SENATOR SLATER, of the Franklin Democratic Herald, expresses a decided preference for ITon. W. S. Holman for the United States Senatorship.— Holman is evidentiy gaining ground. If he really makes up his minfi to become Pratt’s successor, it will be a difficult job to arrest his onward march. His untarnished record commends itself to every honest man. e Tue Terre Haute Journal explicitly denies that a newly elected member” of the Legislature from Vigo county is the author of the Voorhees-Senato: rial eulogy which recently appearcd in the Cincinnati Enqguirer, and avers that the communication was written by a “laboring man.” As the Jowrnal doubtless speaks by the card, we cheerfully give it thé benefit of this correction. : L ; :

- ThHE DEMOCRATS of DeKalb county are inall honor bound to extend to the Auburn Cowrier a more liberal suppoxft than ever before. Deprived, as that journal is likely to be in.the future of official patronage, every demvcratic voter in DeKalb shouyld makeit a point to hand a two-dolar greenback to its publisher. Tom has worked hard and ought not be forsaken amidst the recent local disaster, )

It is said that both the Chicago Tribune and the Cincinnati Commercial, two hitherto influential independént journals, will advecate the nomition and election of Elihu B. Washburn, our present; i\{inisieifl to France, for the next Presidency.” The editors of these papers (Medill and Halstead) Hhave both been in Euro’p(}. 1t is generally believed that they have felt Washburn’s pulse and that he is “willing. : .

OX the 9th inst., Joseph Medill will assume the editorial management of the Chicago 7;/':71)?(;1(7,_ which will at onee become the leading republican organ of the Northwest. This will prove a hard b&)w to the Inter-Otean, a concern heartily detested on account of its abject partis:xn'chzirzicter and utter want of journalistic ability. The demise of the Inter-Ocean would mot even be regretted hy: stiff-necked Republicans. :

Tne PAPERS announce that Miss Proctor, who has sued Frank Moulton for libel, holds the certificates of four practicing physicians to the effect that nothing of the kind imputed to ler in Moulton’s stateinent has happened to her person. A disgusted, old fogy sort of newspaper refuses to accept this exhonoration as evidence of her innocence and purity, and peevishly calls for a photographic attestation' The invreduliiy of some:men defies all reason.

CANDIDATES for legislative positions are fast coming to the foreground. - For Clerk of the louse, A. G. Smith of North Vernon and Sam’l W. Holmes of Seymour are the most prumifient candidates. Tor State Librarian we notice the names of the following aspirants: . Geo. B. Tebbs of Dearborn county, Miss Laura Reain of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Robert S, Sproule, of the same city. R.lD).Brown, father of the somewhat noted Jason B. Brown, is a candidate for Director of the Southern Prison. - —

MosT of the States have now held elections. The people have spoken—let us hope from an honest prompting of the heart. Now let those entrusted with power deu}mnstmte that their sole aim is the public good. Of the non-officeholding people every: ablebodied man should aim to engage in some useful avocation. Let the number of idlers be diminished. Engage in something. - Make yourself useful in some way. The year 1875 ought to ~ be devoted to business, to improvement, to enterprise, to prosperity! S it — - MANY of our democratic contemporaries feel disposed to chide the Cincinnati Enquirer for meddling with Indiana politics. We se€ no ocecasion for this. The Enquirer lias a right to say whatever it pleases, on Indiana as well as on Louisiana politics. Don’t apply the muzzling process. Let the - ‘E’nqu'irer ha_ve its say. That is an 2/ American, a democratic privilege. We don’t fancy the Enguirer’s finance hobby, nor some of its otlfer vagaries. And yet we like to read its pungent paragraphs. There is spice in them, - as well as pithy nonsense, if that be a pardonable expression. Remember, “a little nonsense now and then, is rel- - ished by 'the best of men.” ' SoME of our demociatic contemporaries seem to bé of opinion that there was a little too much of the “tickle me and T'll tickle you” business connected . with Hendricks’ nomination of Joe MecDonald for the Senate and McDonald’s nomination of Tom Hendricks for the Presidency, at the Indianapolis jollification. There may be something to this eriticism, and it might possibly have been better if these nomina- - ting ceremonies had been omitted.— Yet, we think, there is no occasion for, ~ indulging in sharp denunciations.— Jollification meetings are not gener“ally noted for discreet utterances.— " Men are naturally boisterous and exuberant of speech on such occasions. ‘Words spoken under these circumstances ought not to be treasured up . against their authors, ~

'GEN. MILO S, HASCALL, - _ There ig probably no one in the State of Indiana who feels happier over, the result of the recent elections than Gen. Milo 8. lascall, of Goshen. Appreciating his carnest advocacy of liberaldemocratic principles, the Liberals and Democrats of Wabash invited Elle General to join them in a grand jollification meeting and make them a speech. We had the pleasure of meeting the General just before he took the train for Wabash. He was enthusiastic; ay, jubil;mt. His predictions, he declared, had become verified. The people have at last spoken—and how? In utter condemnation of radical misrule. His earnestness satistied ug that the General would deliver a good, an eloquent, a rousing speech. Ile is capable of doing thmg —when he feels like it and puts himself in proper -trim. That our anticipations were none too sanguiile, is happily attested by the Wabash Hyree T'rader, which, in its account of the grand jollification meeting, thus refers to Gen. ITascall’s oratorical:effort: = : ;

“The address of General Hascall was a thorough, manly effort. Ie showed up the villainy of the party in power in a mokt vivid manner. Ile gave radicalism such a dressing down as it has not received.in many a day. -Just as we expected, because of the mighty truths he gave utterance to, the=great organ -of fairness and political honesty, comes out'filled with lies and base calumny regarding his speech, and lis public character. But as in the case where little dogs bark at the moon, the great.and good name of General IHascall will sail; bravely on regardless of the yelping pack, and be honprml by the American people when the Blain Dealer’s venomous gang shall e dead and entirely forgotten.” Gospel truth! General ITascall can stand all the abuse that a subservient partisan press may be able to invent. Neither threats nor villification can swervye him‘from the path of duty and patriotism. lis whole heart is devoted to the cause of liberty, justice, and the rvestoration of fraternal relations between the people of all the States.— Hurrah for Gen. Hasecall!

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, By the purchase of a portion of Mr. White’s stock, the Hon. Joseph Medill has obtained a controlling interest in the Chicago Z'7ibune. Mr. White retires on the Bfh inst., and will at once depart for Europe for the benefit of his health. With this change of proprietorship the political tendency of the 77ébune will also undergo a change —for the worse. It will henceforth be a' republican organ. We need scarcely say that we deeply regret this change of base. The 7'7ibune has been our favorite among all the great journals of the country. It has been able, impartial, fearless. It has been a model newspaper. It disseminated political truths with a faithfulness that challenged the admiration of all independent voters. Wedonot pretend to say that Mr. Medill will change all these characteristies, but no party organ can be what Horace White made the 7'ribune. Medill .is not a party slave; his aim will be to correct abuses within/ “the party.” He will under no circumstances step outside. Such being the case, we can only hope that his' efforts to reform “within” may meet. with commensurate success.

A WELL MERITED COMPLIMENT,. The Indianapolis Sentinel editorially pays the following well merited compliment to Col. Whittlesey : In their rejoicing over the the results of the election, the Democrats should not forget to pay due honor to one of the most earnest and hard working members of the party, whose official position threw a great share of the campaign upon his shoulders.— Col. A. T. Whittlesey, Secretary of the Democratic Central Committee, cer-: tainly can look back with a great deal of satisfaction upon his share in the labors of the canvass, and the whole party will aceord him credit for his zeal and industry. IHe spared no efforts, even though under circumstances which might have tempted a less enthusiastic Democrat to inaetivity. We hope the Sentinel’'s statement—“the whole party will accord him credit for his zeal and industry”—will be borne in mind when it comes to the digtribution of substantial favors.— That is the proper time to remember -and reward party services. Col. Whittlesey has devoted years of hard work to the achievement of democratic vietories, but his reward has been exceed- ; ingly meagre. lle has earned more than the patty will be able to liquidate amidst a half dozen victories. . & s S "WILL THIS FOLLY NEVER CEASE? Judging from the -bitter warfare which has already begun in this State over the U.S Senatorship, it would seém{‘thnt our hot-headed democratic warriors are determined to convert the victory of the 13th of October into something akin to an abomination.— The savage attacks which the champions of rival factions are making upon one another betray a deplorable lack of harmony in the democratic household and are well calculated to assuage the sorrow of Republicans over their recent defeat. Such eriminations have a wonderful gffect upon the party of “forlorn hopes.” It encourages the belief. that a general scrimmage will pave the way for an easy victory two - years hence. Will the vietorious party be foolish ejxou;gh to thus gratify their fallen foes? '

About the worst played-out man in this District is Judge Hiram S. Tousley. This paper has always, heretofore, been his warm political friend, but his action, since his defeat for Congress twoyears ago, has been such that no Republican can sustain him, Good-bye, Tous! The Républican party will have to get along without you, and we have no doubt but that it can do so just as welll— Warsaw Indiantan. - !

We'll wager a pint of peanuts that you will.be among the first, in less than two years, to welcome the Judge back into the fold, with outstretched arms. Facts are, the ranks of your party are so badly decimated that the weeding out process has become somewhat hazardous. "

- Bro. RERICK, of the Lagrange Standard, has supplied his office with a Taylor Power Press. The Standard is an excellent, high-toned family paper and is worthy of liberal support.

The Third Term Busincss f- : fectunally Sqguelched. GAIN OF SIX DEMOCRATIC U. 5. SENATORS. : r AMAGNIFICENT DEMOCRATIC MA- , JORITY IN NEW YORK. DIX SNOWED UNDER AND TILDEN TRIUMPHANTLY ELECTED. November is the month for elections. Louisiana opened the ball on Monday. Twenty-three States and three Territories followed suit on Tuesday. In a majority of these commonwealths State ofticers were chosen, and members of Congress were elected in them all, while the territorial elections were of course confined to the selection of delegates to the lower louse. The total number of Congressmen chosen on Monday and Tuesday is 213 (including an undecided election in Vermont) and comprises, therefore, neariy three-fourths of the H(mfe menrbership. The political character of the lower ITouse of Congress was therefore decided by these elections. The States which had previously chosen representatives in the Forty-fourth Congress are Indiana, Towa, Maine, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont (2), and West Virginia. d'hese have elected thirty-three Democrafs and thirty Republicans. In the States which held elections this week, including Louisiana, the: Legislatures elected by thirteen will have the choice of United States Senators.

The following States elected members of Congress, to wit: Alabama,S; Arkansas, 4; Delaware, 1; Florida, 2; Georgia, 9; Illinois, 19; Kansas, 3; Kentucky, 10; M:ir)l;in{l,_ 6; Massachusetts, 11; Michigan, 9; Minnesota, 3; Missouri, 13; Nevada, 1; New Jersey, 7; New York, 33; Pennsylvania, 27; Rhode Island, 2; South Carolina, 5; Tennessee, 10; Texas, 6; Virginia, 9, and Wisconsin 8. The Territories of Arizona, Idaho and Washington also each elected one delegate to Congress. Eleven of the foregoing States elected Governors, and seventeen of them State Legislatures, thirteen of which will choose United States Senators. :

As we go to press, the returns are necessarily meagre, but enough has been recéived to warrant the statement that the Democracy has swept everything before it and that the Republicans have met with the most disastrous defeéat ever inflicted upon a political party. The returns are full of glory. , Massachusetts: elects a Democratic Governor%(Guston{) by 8,000 majority, and gives us a gain of six Congressmen! New York is Democratic. Tilden’s majority over Dix is estimated at 40,000. Of the 33 Congressmen the | Democrats have obtained 22—a gain of 13. Pennsylvania returns are mea‘ger; but the Democrats are claiming it by 10,000. Negley is. beaten for Congress in the Pittsburgh stronghold. In Louisiana we have five of the six Congressmen and the State Treasurer and I egislature. Tennessee, on a light vote, gives 4 Democratic majority of 30,000. The Kentucky Congressional delegzltioh is solidly Democratic. No returns from Missouri, but the Democrats claim all the congressmen save two. All the counties in Delaware are Democratic. We have gained four members of Congress in Tennessee; one in Kansas, two in Virginia, two in South Carolina (two in doubt), two in Néw Jersey and six in Tllinois, though we regret to say that in this latter State the Republican State ticket is probaby elected. Wehave gained in the neighborhood of fifty Congressmen as near as we can at present estimate. This gives us the next House of Representatives by a handsome majority. - - The most general interest is in | the com'plexion of the next Congress, which was to be determined by Tuesday’s.election. Thereis no doubt whatever that the Republicans have lost eontrol of the House, and it is only a question as to the majority which the Opposition will have. The last House was divided into 202 Republicans and 90 Democrats, or a Republican majority‘ of 112. There was a gain of sixteen votes in preceding elections. The present returns indicate that there will be an Opposition maJjority of no less than thirty, and probably not more than fifty. The gains for the Opposition reported thus far, are three in Arkansas, and one in Del- | aware, three in Georgla, six in Louisiana, two in Maryland, six in Massachui setts, three in :Michig@h, twoin Migsouf - ri, thirteen in New York, five in Tennessee, three in Virginia, two in Penn“sylvania, and six in Illinois. Judging from the returns so far, later news

will rather increase than diminish the Opposition gains. Congressmen are to be elected néxt year in Connecti¢ut, New llampshire, California, and Mississippi; but these cannot change the majority. S ; The probabilities are that neither Mat. Carpenter nor Z»ai_clf(‘;hgmd_lef will be returned to the U. S. Senate—the Wisconsin and Michigan Legislatures@ being claimed by the Opposition. ' Many negroes in Louisiana voted the Conservative ticket. They pronounce carpet-baggers a nuisance. It is very difficult to determine at this hour whether the Republicans have really carried more than one State, Rhode Island. It is barely po:= sible that'they may by the skin of their teeth have carried two or three more. .~ The Republicans are only claiming 5,000 majority in Michigan. Female Suffrage is defeated. to Georgia sends an unbroken Democratic delegation to Congress. . - New Jersey elects a democratic Goyvernor by a majority of 8,000. Also, a democratic Legislature. Gag-law Poland\is defeated for Congress by Dennison again. This contributes a bit of spice to the elegant dish which we serve to-day. Cook county, Illinois, which includes Chicago, gives a democratie majority of 7,000, It used to give from 7,000 to 10,000 republican majority. ~ The father of the repullican party said in a great anti-Grant speeeh: “I stood by the cradle of the republican pqrty; let me not follow its hearse.” God spated Charles Sumner from hearing that Massachusetts, in 1874, became a democratic State.

ELECTION OF ADEMOURATIC GOVERNOR. : Defeat of Ben. Butler, Chief of Salary-Grabbers. GLORY, GLORY, HALLELUJAH! SPLENDID TRIUMPH OF GENERAL BANKS. : S 4 aiin of Six Demoeratie (‘ongrvssmen; BosToN, MAss.,, Nov. 3—lo p. m.— The line of .‘(j‘,ustom-llouse_sv along the coast of Massachusetts is not illuminated to-night; neither are the PostOffices here and there on the coast. At this hour, it'is already known that Butler, Ayer, Gooeh, Williams, and Alexander are defeated for Congress, | while Stevens has but a plurality. It is generally conceded that Gaston has carried the State against Talbot, so that- Massachusetts will, for the first time in the niemory of the present generation, have a Demoecratic Governors This is the way the pedple have chosen to.cignify their condemnation of Grant, Butler, - Simmons, and the Prohibitionists. The Democrats are happy enough to burst, and no Repullicans except those who have taken orders from the Administration I‘ing‘ are pnrtieul:frly grieved. Since the news of Butler’s defeat got abroad, they have been happy enough to cheer the returns whatever tale they told.— The Legislature will doubtless be Republican in both branches, but by a decreased majority. It was in the Fifth District that Dawes and Blaine put forth their greatest efforts, and Banks carried every town but one, having a majority of about 6,000. The defeat of Butler is crushing, not only to himself personally, but to the whole venal ring of which he is. the head center. oo : This is'the first time‘;Massachusetts( has had a chance to speak since the Credit-Mobilier scandal was unearthed, the Simmons insult perpetrated, the Sanborn arnd Jayne iniquities unearthed, the Civil-Service Reform -abandoned, and the Kellogg usurpation consummated. They have spoken aloud, and mean to be heard. They do not mean that they are not Republicans, but that they will not submit to the tests of Republicanism that ‘have lately been required. ° Butler is defeated by nearly 1,000. Banks’ majority for Congress reaches almost 6,000. Gaston’s majority for Governor is about 8,000. The TLegislature is republican. ' | e BB A Town Destroyed by Kire. On the morning of October 23d the town of Worthington, in Greene county, was the scene of a destructive conflagration which nearly destroyed the business portion of the burg. Atabout one o'clock in the morning fire was discovered issuing from the cellar of a business house in what is known as Commercial Row, and in an incredibly short time the entire row of buildings—which were all of wood and very dry—was a mass of smoking ruins. The flames made such rapid progress that it was useless to attempt to sayve the buildings, but the citizens applied themselyes vigordusly to the work of removing the goods from the several store rooms, most of which were saved, though in a damaged condition. The fire was evidently the work of an incendiary. The loss is a severe blow upon that thriving little city, but if good, substantial brick buildings are substituted for the old ones, it will not be long until their citizens will regard what they now consider a calamity as one of their choicest blesgings, =~ -~ -

Judge Osborn, Supreme Court, will retire as soon as Judge Biddle is commissioned and qualified.— The session of the Legislature will commence on the 7th day of January, and continue for sixty-one days. - ‘The official majority of Bell, Democratic candidate for Se(:retdry‘ of State in Ohio, is 17,202; that of Neff, Democratic candidate for the same position in Indiana, is 17,098. It is a remarkable eoincidence that the difference in the majority in the two States is but 104 votes. : :

Claypool, the defeated Congressional candidate from the Fifth: l)istrict of Indiana, is reported in a dangerous condition at Connersville, suffering from a paralytic stroke. This is the second stroke of paralysis which has overtaken Mr. Claypool, and it is greatly to be feared that he -will not survive it. . i oR— A Word of Explanation from Hon, William Baxter. RricnyoxND, 10th month, 28. To the Editor of the Indianapolig Journal: In yours of the 27th appears an article, copied from the Richmond Free Press, which professes to give an account of a hostile meeting between W. C. Jeffries and myself. In refer~ ence thereto I have to say that the whole article is a base, malicious fabrication. I never spoke to Jeffries in my life, and doubt whether I should know the gentleman if I was to meet him. As this article has been circulated all over the State through the columns of your paper, to the great injury of my character, I hope you will show me the courtesy to republish ‘the article, with this denial. ; Very respectfully, ; WILLTAM BAXTER.

The manner in which this scandalous canard was made to order is thus explained by the Cincinnati Enguirer, which first gave currency to the silly story: v We did an inconsiderate thing the other day; and we want to plead guilty. The Richmond (Ind.) Free Press came to us with a very interesting account of a street fight between Baxter, the great temperance advocate, and his legislative opponent, Mr. Jeffries. The funny reporter who wrote the account of the melee, 'mentioned at the close of his article that it was all a dream. It had flitted through his brain while lying asleep in a station house waiting for items. We cut off the saving clause of the funny man’s story and started it on its rounds. It has had an immense circulation. No well-conducted family journal in Indiana has failed to publish it. - , e - Thanksgiving Proclamation. We are reminded by the changing season that it is time to pause: in our daily avocations and offer thanks to Almighty God for the mercies and abundance of the year which is drawing to a close. : The blessings of free government continue to be vouchsafed to us, the earth has responded to the labor of the husbandman, the land has been free from pestilence, internal order is being maintained, and peace . with rother powers has prevailed. It is fitting that at stated periods we should cease from our accustomed pursuits and from the turmoil of our daily lives, and unite in thankfulness for the blessings of the past, and in the cultivation of kindly feelings toward each other. | 3 Now, therefore, recognizing these considerations, I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States, do recommend to all citizens to assemble in their respective places of worship, on Thursday, the 26th day of November next, and express their thanks for the mercy and favor of Almighty God, and laying aside all political contentions and all secular operations, to observe such day as a day of rest, thanks~giving and praise.

This settlement is the result of two years’labor on the part of Judge Denny, who deserves great praise for his persistency and determined efforts 'in this direction. This batch of claims have been hanging fire for years, and were the “rag and bob tail,” so to speak, of claims aggrega‘ing over $3,000,000 paid by the government under an act of Congress passed in 1861. This pdrticular batch has been disallowed and rejected time and again.

Elopement in Allen County. “The*course of true love never did run smooth” is a trite old adage and was perliaps never more fully realized than in the case of one Nathan Tyler, who has narrowly escaped the thunderbolts of paternal wrath from the threatening clouds which still hover, dark and frowning, just above the deserted homestead in the dim distance, while hq with his fair bride, having crossed ‘the erystal waves of the enchanting matrimonial sea, is now safely anchored in the quiet harbor of conjugal felicity and enjoying the soft and genial light of a honey moon in the city of Fort Wayne. Rut Nathan and his aflianced had a difficult and somewhat romantic struggle before they reached the blissful shore. It oceurred in this wise: Nathan was a hired man on the farm of David Welseimer; the latter had a charming daughter; Nathan fell in love with her; she reciprocated; Nathan was discharged; they loved nevertheless; concocted an elopement, and now they are one. The Fort Wayne Sentinel relateth the romance thusly: | It was left to the ingenuity of the divine Olive to mature the plan and perfect its details. She was engaged in the praiseworthy undertaking of teaching the young ideas how to shoot and training up the youth attending the district school in the way they should go, in consideration of sundry dollars and cents duly paid to her at stated times. After Nathan had left the abode of the Welseimers he remained with his brother, Timothy Tyler, a man of family, who lived near by, and whose little daughter attended Olive’s school. By this child messages were carried back and forth between the loving couple, as a strict watch was kept upon Olive. In this way their plans were perfected, and the day before the election the dutiful Olive asked permission of her mother to go to the trustee and get an order for her. salary. This was accorded her, and in an unguarded moment no one was sent with her. Alas for the trust reposed in the sweet girl, she met her duckydaddles, who was waiting with a carriage, and, accompanied by his brother Tim and a lady friend, they fled to White Pigeon, Michigan, where a parson was found and the knot securdly tied. i J Cumulative Voting. P Ilinois voters tried the minority representation plan last Tuesday in the election of Representatives in the Legislature. The following is thelaw governing the vote: : - SEc. 54; In voting for Representatives to the General Assembly, if the voter intends to give more than one yote to any candidate, he shall express “hig inténtion on the face of his ballot, in words or figures, which imay be done in either of the following forms: A'B, 0 D, E F, which shall be held to mean one 'v;o{:ie for each c@hdidate named; or A B 134 votes; or A B 2 votes; CD 1 vote; or A B 3 votes. _ The State is divided into districts for purposes of representation, and as ‘there were three tickets in the field, there were good chances for cofisolidating and scattering. =~

The terrible buzz-saw is located this time at Paulding, Ohio.. On° Monday a young man named Albert Sonorie was caught between two circular saws, so that the under- one caught him' by the pants, drawing him instantly between the two saws, cutting his left heel almost off, and making a frightful gash in the calf’ of his leg.. The saw entered his body between the legs, splitting the backbone several inches, t{md then angled to the left side, causng his bowels to fall out upon the floot, splitting the body in twain up to near the umbilicus, before passing between the saws. liis left arm was al--80 cut off at the shoulder joint, literally "cutting the arm to pieces to the elbow.

On Wednesday night of last week, at about ten ¢o’clock, a destructive fire broke out in the city of Greencastle. The fire was first disc’overegl'}fl alum-ber-yard, and, as the city had no fire engine or public cisterns aid the private wells and cisterns: all being low on account of the long continued drouth, a brisk wind spread the flames so rapidly that in five hours most of the buildings for fwo squares- east, north and south of the court-house square were in ruins. The district burnt over comprises about eight squares. The total loss is not less than $360,000, upon which there is ins'urance to the amount of $148,780

As -is usual in such cases, the authorities of Greencastle emerged from their smoking ruins with the painful realization of their need of an efficient fire department, and have since authorized the purchase of a five thousand dollar engine. The mayor has issued a general call for aid, and one thousand dollars have been donated by the city authorities for the immediate relief of the destitute. e
