Deprived, as that journal is likely to be in the future of official patronage, every-dem-ocratic voter in DeKalb should make it a point to hand a two-dollar 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 Cineinnati Commereial, two hitherto influential independent journals, will advocate the nomition and election of Elihu B. Washburn, our present Minister to France, for: the next Presidency. The editors of these papers (Medill and lalstead) }mw\lmﬂg been in Eurcpe. It is generally believed that they have felt Washburn’s pulse and that he is “willing” : e

OX the 9th inst., Joseph Medill will assume the editorial management of the Chicago 7ribune, which will at once l»(i?ame the leading vrepublican organ of the Northwest. - This will prove a hard blow to the. Inter-Ocean, a concern heartily detested on account of its abject partisan character and utter want of j(mrlmlistic'uhility. The demise of the Inter-Ocean would npt even be regretted by stiff-necked Republicans. o , 3

THE PAPERs announce that Miss Proctor, who has sued Frank Moulton . for libel, holds the certifieates of four practicing physicians to the-effect that nothing of the kind imputed.to her in . Moulton’s statement has happened to * her person. A disgusted, olid fogy sort of newspaper refuses to accept this exhonoration as evidence of her innocence and purity, and peevishly calls fori a photographic ut_%estution! The ineredulity of gome men defies all reason. : L

CAXDIDATES 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 prominent candidates. For State Librarian we notice the names of the following aspirants: Geo. B. Tebbs of Dearborn county, Miss Laura Ream of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Robert S. sSproule, of the same ,city." R.D.Brown, father of the somewhat noted Jason B. Brown, is a candidate for Director of the Solithern Prison. ~ MosT of the States have now Ll elections. The‘,peop}e have spoken—let us hope from an honest promyting of thé\heart. Now le@ those entrusted with power demonstrate that their sole aim is the public good. Of the non-cfliceholding people every: ablebodied an 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 improvewent, to enterprise, to prosperity! .

MANY of our democratic contemporaries feel disposed to chide the (incinnati Enguirer for meddling with Indiana politigs. We see no occasion for this. The Enquirer has a right to say whatever it pleases, on Indiana as well as on Louisiana politics. Don’t apply the muzzling process. Let the Enguirer have its say. That is an _\mér?(::m,.a democratic privilege. We don’t ‘fancy the Enquirer’s finance hobby, nor some of its other 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 relished by the best of men.” ’

~ SoME of our democratic contemporaries seem to be of opinion that there was a little too much of the “tickle me and I'll tickle you” business connected with Hendricks’ nomination of Joe McDonald for the Senate and MeDonald’s nomination of Tom Hendricks for the Presidency, q,t the Indianapolis jollification. - There may be something to this eriticism, and .it might possibly have been better if these nominating ceremonies had been omitted.— Yet, we think, there is no occasion for indulging in sharp denunciations.— ‘Jollification meetings are not gener;m'_ 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 8, HABCALL, There is probably no one in the State of Indiana who feels happier over the result of the recent elections than Gen. Milo 8. Haseall, of, Goshen. Appreciating his earnest advocacy of liberaldemocratic principles, the Liberals and Democrats of Wabash invited the 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. lle was enthusiastic; ay, jubilant. lis predictions, he declared, had becoin'e verified. The people have at last spoken—and how? In utter condemnation of radical misrule. llis earnestness satistied us that the General would deliver a good, an eloquent, -4 rousing speech. |He is capable of doing that—when he feels like it and puts himself in proper trim: ‘That our anticipations were none too saiguine, is happily attested by the Wabash Hree Trader, which, in its account of the grand jollification meeting, thus refers to Gen. ITascall’s oratorical effort: : “The address of General ITaseall was a thorough, manly effort. He showed up the villainy of the party in power in a most 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. truthis he gave utterance to, the great organ of fairness and political honesty, comes out filled with lies and base calumny regarding his speech, and his public ¢haracter. Dut as in the case where little dogs bark at the moon, the great apnd good name of General IHascall wil\sail bravely on regardless of the yeyping pack, and -be honored by the Arfierican people when the 'Plain Dealep’s - venomous gang shall be dead and{entirely forgotten.” Gospel truth Eeneml ITascall can stand all the abuse that a subservient partisan press may be able to invent. Neither threats nor villification can swerve h§i~m from the path of duty and patriotism. llis whole heart is devoted to the cause of liberty, justice, and: the restoration of fraternal relations between the people of all the States.—. Hurrah for Gen. Hascall! i

\ A el GR — i THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

By the purchase of a portion of Mr. White's stock, the Ton. Joseph Medill has obtained a controlling interest in the Chicago Zribune. Mr. Whité retires on the &th inst., and Wwill at once depart for Europe for the benefit of his health. With this change of proprietorship the political tendency of the 7'ribune will also undergo a change -—for the worse. It will henceforth be a republican organ. We hneed scarcely say. that we deeply regret this change of base. The 77{bune has been our favorite }tnmng all the great Journals of the country. It has heen able, impartial, fearless. It has been a model newspaper. It disseminated political truths with a faithfulness that challenged the admiration of all indepéndent voters. Wedonot pretend to say that Mr. Medill will change all these characteristics, but no party organ can be what Horace White made the 7'ibune. 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 Lis 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 iesults 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, certainly can look back with a great deal of satisfaction upon his share in the, labors of the canvass, and the whole party will accord him eredit!for his, zeal and industry. Ile spared no lefforts, even though under circumstances which might have tempted a less enthusiastic Democrat to inactivity. "~ 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 distribution of substantial -favors.— I'hat is the proper time to. remember and reward party services. Col. Whits tlesey has devoted years of hard work to the achievement of democratic victories, but his reward has been exceedingly meagre. He has earned more than the party will be able to liquidate amidst a half dozen victories. 3 R . WILL THIS FOLLY NEVER CEASE? Judging from the ‘bitter warfare which has already begun in this State over the U.S Senatorship, it would seem that 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 effect. 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 victorious party be faolish enough to thus gratify their fallen foes?

About the worst played-out man in this District is Judge I¥iram S. Tousley. - This paper has always, heretofore, been his warm political friend, but his action, since his' defeat for Congress two years ago, has been such that no Republican can sustain him. Good-bye, Tous! The Republican party will have to get along without you, and we have no doubt but that it can do 86 just as well'— Warsaw Indiantan. : Wg’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 Taydor Power Press. The Standard is an excellept, high-foned family paper and isuv?{)%hy of liberal support.

N, SENATORS, A MAGNIFICENT DEMOCRATIC MAJOIMTY IN NEW YORK. DIX SNOWED UNDER AND TILDEN TRIUMPHANTLY ELECTED. November is the montly 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 officers 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 ITouse. The total number of Congressmen chosen ofi Monday and Tuesday is 213 (including an undecided election in Vermont) and comprises, therefore, nearly three-fourths of the House membership. Bhe political ¢haracter of the lower House of Congress was therefore decided by these elections. The States which had previously chosen representatiyes in the Forty-fourth Congress ‘are Indiana, lowa, Maine, Nebraska, North (arolina, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont (2), and West Virginia. These have elected thirty-three Democrats 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; Maryland, ¢; Massachusetts, 11; Michigan, 9; Minnesota, 3; Missouri, 13; Nevada, 1; New Jersey,,7; New York, 33; Pennsylvania, 27; Rhode Island, 2; South Carolina, b Tenne%scﬁ, 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 U nited States Senators. . :

As we go to press, the returns are necessarily meagre, but enough has been received to warrant the statement that the Democracy has swept evierything before it and that the Re-publicans-have met with the most disastrous defeat ever inflicted upon a political party. The returns are full of glory. : Massachusetts elects a Democratic Governor (Gaston) by 8,000 majority, and gives us a gain of six Congressmen! New York is Democratie. Tilden’s majority over Dix is estimated at 40,000. Of the 83 Congressmen the Democrats have obtained 22—a gain *of 13. Pennsylvania returns are meager, 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 Legislature. Tennessee, on a light vote, gives'a Democratic majority of 30,000. The Kentucky Congressional delegation is “solidly Democratic. No returns from Mis! souri, but the Democrats claim all the congressmen save two. All the connties in Delaware are Democratic. We have gained four members of Congress in Tennessee;: one in Kansas, two in Virginia, twoin South Carolinai (two in doubt), tijo in New Jersey and six in Tllinois, though we regret to say that in this latter State the Republican State ticket is probaby elect--ed. We have gained in the neighhorhood of fifty Congressmen as near‘as we can at present estimate. This gives us the next House of Representatives by a handsorye majority.

~ The most general interest is in the complexion of the next Congress, which was to be determined by Tuesday’s election. There is no doubt whatever that the Republicans have lost eontrol of the Hoﬁse, 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 Demoecrats, 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 majority 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 Delaware, three in Georgia, six in Louisiana, two in Maryland, six in Massachugetts, threein Michigajpz two in Missouri, thirteen in New York, five in Tennessee, three in Virginia, two in Pennsylvania, and six in Illinois. Judging from the returns so far, later news

- will rather increase than diminish é the Opposition gains. Congressmen are to be eleeted next year in Connect“icut, New Hampshire, California, and - Mississippi; but these cannot change -the majority. : o . The probabilities are that neither . Mat. Carpenter nor Zach Chandler will ' be returned to the U. S. Senate—the | Wisconsin and Michigan Legislatures ' being claimed by the Opposition. Many mnegroes in Louisiana voted | the Conservative ticket. They pro- | nounce carpet-haggers a nuisance.

It is very difficult to determine at this hour whether the Republicans have really carried 1116’1'_(& ~than' one State, Rhode Island. It is barely pocsible 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. _ e Georgia sends an unbroken Democratic delegation to Congress. . New Jersey elects a democratic Governor by a majority of 8,000, Also, a democratic Legislature. o Gag-law Poland is defeated for Congress by Dennison again. .= This contributes a bit of gpice to the elegant dish which we serve to-dayv.

< (ook county, Illinois, which includ}és‘ Chicago, gives a democratic majority of 7,000. It used to give from 7,000 to 10,000 republican majority. _ The father of the republican party said in a great anti-Grant speech: “I stood by the cradle of the republican party; let me not follow its hearse.” God spared Charles Sumner from hearing that Massachusetts, in 1874, became a democratic State. 100 Extra Guns For Mas“gachusets,.

IS()ST()X, MAss., Nov: 3—lo p. m.— The line of Custom-Houses along the coast of Massachusetts is not illuminated to-night; neither are the PostOflices here and there on the coast. ‘At this hour, it is already known that Butler, Ayer, Gooch, Williams, and. Alexander are defeated for Congress, while Stévens has but a plurality. It is generally conceded that Gaston has carried the State against Talbot, so that M:lesu,chnse_tt% will, for the first time in. the nuﬁnory of the present generation, have a Democratic Governor. This is the way thie people have chg}sen to signify their condemnutigm of Grant, Butler, Simmons, and hsle Prohibitionists. - The Democrats are happy enough to burst, and no Republicans except those who have taken orders from the Administration ring are particularly: g;'ie\'ed. 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 jbranches, 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 erushing, not only to himself personally, but to the whole venal ring of which he is the head center. i . - This is the first time Massachusetts has had a chance to speak since the Qi‘edit-Mobi—]ier scandal was unearthed, the Simmons insult perpetrated, the Sanborn and Jayne iniquities @n--earthed, 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 Legislature is republican. i ]~ B N A Town Destroyed by Fire. ~ 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. ‘At about 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 incredi‘bly short time the entire row of build-. ings—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 te save the buildings, but the citizens applied themselves vigorously 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 g6‘od, 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 blessings. e

Personal and Political Paragraphs. . The Democratic State officers will assume the duties of their positions at the following times: Attorney General, November 5; Secretary of State, January 17; Auditor of State, January 27; Treasurer of State, February 10; Superintendent of Public Instruetion,March 15. 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 Secretary 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 coincidence that the difference in the majority in the two States is but 104 votes. .

To the Editor of the Indianapolis 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.

I never spoke to Jeffries in my life, and doubt whether T 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 républish the article, with this denial. Very respectfully, ‘WILLTIAM BAXTER. - The manner in which this scandalous canard Was made to order is thus explained by the Cineinnati Enquirer, whieh first gave currency to the silly story: : ‘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. Jeftries. The funny reporter who wrote the agcount 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 foriitems. 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.

The Treasury Department deducted from this amount $53,000, on account of an old debt due the government. 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.

Never more in Indiana can the scriptural injunction relating to bread cast upon the waters be disbe-lieved.~-Indianapolis Journal, Nov. 3. 5 TS - Ee— Elopement in Allen County. “The course of true love never did run smooth” is‘ a trite old adage and was perhaps 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 he with his fair bride, haying crossed the crystal waves of the enchanting nmt_rimoniul 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 affianced had a diffi cult 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 romancéthusly : 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 th"is 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 securely tied. - :

Illinois voters tried the minority representation plan last Tuesday in the election of Representatives in the Legislature. The following is.the law governing the vote: : o SEC. 54. lln voting for Representatives to the General Assembly, if the voter intends to give more than one vote to any tandidate, he shall express his intention on the face of his ballot, in words or figures, which may be done in either of the following forms: A B, C D, E F, which shall be held to mean one vote for each candidate named; or A B 11§ votes; or A B 2 votes; C D 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 consolidating and scattering. S -

Sonorie was caught between two circular saws, $0 that the under one caught him by the pants, drawing him instantly between the two saws, eytting his left heel almost off, and making a frightful gash in ' = cdlf of his leg. . The saw entered his body between the legs, splitting the backbone several inches, and then angled to the left side, causing Lis bowels to fall out upon the ftoor, splitting the body in twainupto near the umbilicus, before passing between the saws. ILis left arm was also cut off at the shoulder joint, literally cutting the arm to pieces to the elbow. Pieces of his flesh, the.size of A man’s thumb, were ‘found outside the mill, where the sawdust-carrier had carried them. 3 e

A %360,000 Fire at Greencastle, Ind. On Wednesday night. of last week, at al}z}&t ten o’clock, a destructive fire broke out in the city of Greencastle. The fire was first discovered in a lumber yard, and, as the city had no fire engine or public cisterns and 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 mest of the buildings for two squares east, north and south of the court-house square were in ruins. The district burnt over' comprises ~“abeut . eight squares. The:total loss-is ‘not"less than $360,000, upon whiclrthere is insurance 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. - . !
