WASHINGTON, October 15.-Time has now been afforded to calculate with a degree of certainty the effect of the elections of Tuesday last. It is very true that at first the impres sion in political circles was that the result of Tuesday's work might be fairly summed up as a drawn battle, but a deliberate survey of the wholo field shows that this is very far from being the case. Tuesday's work is bound to exorcise a most important influence upon the con test in Novembor, and the wholo prestige of that day rosts with the -Bomocratic party. Ohio, the home of tho Republican candidato for President, was conceded to that side from the day that the nomina tion was inado at Cincinnati. The Democrats had no expectation of carrying that State, and made much loss of a contest than they did last year, when Allen wats running for Governor. The Republicans, on the contrary, expended immenso sums of money, and, not content with their own speakers, importodorators from all over the Union. The sum total of their efforts is a paltry majority scarcely if any greator than that of last year, and a mero bagatelle as compared with the imml)ensio Reopub lican majorities which Ohio has been accustomed to roll up. So much for Ohio. In Indiana the caso is infinitely worso for the Io publicans. Indiana was really the battle-ground of the two parties, and so accepted by both. Gen]. Kilpat-: rick said what was needed in In diana was "a bloody shirt campaign with money." This they had. The song of the Loody shirt went on without coasing, day and night. The whole Sta te was irrigated, asit were, with the flow of money. The Indc pendent candidate was bought on', and never before, sinco Indiana has been an organized community, have its honest farmners been subjected to such a pressure. The Democrats were at a decided disadvantage in that they had not one-tenth of the money p~ossessed by their opponents. It is said here that tho money spent by the Republican comimiticos in Indiana amounted to ten dollars for every voter in the State. Then the Republican nominee for Governor was selected with especial reference to hris availability us the grandson of President Harrison. Glee clubs were employed to traverse the State and chant campaign songs in thme style of 1840, when Gen. Harrison was elected President. But the bloody shirt and the money andl the glee clubs all failed to convince the sensible, hon est fo rmors of Indiana, and Messrs. Blaine, Ingersoll & Co. may well ask themselves whether their vile and outrageons slanders waire not prodluctive of more harm t~mn good to the cause wvhich they espoused. INDIANA AND TIIE PRlESIDENcY. The fifteen electoral votes of Indliana are nowv just as sure for Tilden and Hendricks as that the sun wvill shine. It is not at all logi--al to compare T1ildoni with Greeley, and to point to the fact that Grant car ried Indiana after Hendricks had booen elected Governor. An im mense mass of Democrats, not only in Indiana, but all over the country' were dissatisfied with Greeley' nomination and r'efused to support him, while the party was never more united than it is now in favor of Ti ldon and H-endricks. Rlepubli cans and Democrats lhcre both feel this, and while the former are de spondont in the extreme, the latter are exceedingly san~guine. The as suranceo of Inin' vote in Novem lbor, it is believed, will be certain to brmig that of Nowv York, New Jersey and~ Connecticut. Tiho shrewvd polit ical weatthercocks have already trans forred these four States from the doubtful list to the Tilden column. This tells the whole story of Novem ber. iIFLUENcE ON OTHER STATEs. F'urthormnore, the news has come from the West to-day that the indiffe rent success in Ohio andh the Waterloo de feat in Indiana have exer ted muchma depreossing influence on the Riepubli.. can element in that section that there is a str'ong p~robability of Indiana having pretty close company next month. Yet thme desperate mana.. era here do not intendl to give up the contest without another bit ter struggle. It is undlerstood that ad ditional assessments arp to be0 levied upon the officeholdors here and .ulsewhorQ. The bulk of the money now to he raised will be poured into Now York, although vain hope, some of it will be sent after the bad money which has already gene to Indiana. But the prostige which now sur ronds the Democratic cause is a full equivalent for all the mon~ey and 1,atronago of the other side. thb*' c 4ont $4&&h whole fAbrio of Americata liberty will fall, and will be applied to other States,. Just as soon as party exi. gencies require it, We make the' declaration of our innocence not in disrespect of the President of the United States, but as an act of justice to ourselves as American citizens, and to put our case upon the record for an impar tial trial before the great national tribunal. We bow in perfect sub mission to the proclamation of his Excellency the President, and ox horb our follow-itizens, whom we represent in the present canvatss, to yield free and entire obedience to every command of the said procla mation. We know that the clubs called "Rifle Clubs" are assoiations formea for home protection ; that they are not combinations, as charged by the Governor of this State ; that there are but few that have arms or am munition ; that those which have been equipped were so done with the sanction, and sometimes with the aid, of the Governor, and have been recognized by him as useful and appropriate bodies, and not one of them has been accused of disor dor. We know that this necessity was occasioned by the reckless dis tribution of arms and a nmmunition among the colored peopeo by the Stat oflicials, and wo |further know that our white follow-citizens were on the sixtoonth day of this month massacred at a peaceful po litical assemblago whoro by agrce ment with C. C. Bowen, the Ropub .can chairman for Charleston Coun, ty and sheriff of the said County, present at the meeting, and first Presidential elector for the State at largo on the Republican ticket, they went without arms to meet the colored race, tho voters of the so called Republican party in this State, who wore likewise by Mr. Bowen's agreement bound ,to Le without arms; and we know that the Politicemns, who:are the authors of all our evils are teaching aitong the colored race the use of the rifle and the torch. We know that ourhtines are in peril, and that our women and children are exposed to the horrors of ruthless butchery and barbarity. But neverthelesr, we advise and command, so far as our authority goes, that every such rifle club, against which themisroprosen tationsof the Governor of the State are aimed, be forthwith disbanded, and that the members thereof be held in future only by thoso ties of humanity which bind all good men together; that the name of the club be abandoned and the officers cease Lo exercise their powers. This is said with the express de claration that these clbs aro not associated with or subject to our political control. We repeat that we speak without disrespect to the President of the United States. He icts up)on thme statemients made by the Governor of this State ; but we say it that we may show our willing ness to obey without committing an untruth against oulrselves by seem ing to acknowledge that of which we are not guilty. We are not engaged in unlawful and insurrectionary p)roceedings. WVe cannot disperse, because we are not gathered together. 'We cannot retire peaceably to our abodes, be cause we are in our homes in peace, listurbed alone by the political agi Lations creamtod by the Governor and his minions. But we resignedly and cheerfully in thme performance of our duty suspend the exercise of our individual and private rights to prevent evil to the whole people. Relying upon the universal sense of right and appealing to the Almighty to sustain us, we exhort our people to the continuance of subnussion to the auth. rities of the government, feoling assured that time and p~ationlce wiill work our deliveranico. Remember that the campaign is now a shora one and all signs hopeful ; that the 7th (lay of November next wvill witness the full and complete vindication of our cause through the poeacefull instru mentality of the ballot box.

Had IndiAna gone' Re ublican Governor COiamborlAin would have been supplied with all the troops he wanted without dela7, and pretexts for declaring martial law also in Mississippi and :Ldhisiana would have' been found. So far as .the President is concerned, h&.'would have no hesitation on the subiect now. But the utter failure of the bloody shirt campaign in the West has induced some of the more saga cious Radical leaders to consider the advisability of such a proceeding. The question presents itself whether for the sake of gaining two or three Southern States it will be wise to risk the loss of more important Northern States. It seems settled, no matter what their leaders may say or do, that the mass of the Northern people will insist that the South shall have the same privilege of self-government as they have. This knowledge may possibly prevent compliance with Governor Chamber lain's request to furnish troops to re-elect him, but as the President and several members of the cabinet are personally inclined to accede to his wishes it is not yetcortain th, t the administration will be guided by the views of others. DAYONETS IN VIRGINIA. The political conspirators who havo been hanging about Washing ton some timo in behalf of this busi ness of military interference in the South, are now turning their atten tion to Virginia. It has for some been apparont that the Conservative candidate for Congress in the Fourth Virginia (Petorsi-urg) District will be elected, and that his election will be largely due to the colored voters who have becomo disgusted with their Republican leaders. This in now so very apparent, indeed, that the Republicans, who have held the district since the closo of the war, are satisfied that unless they have the benefit of troops, not more ly to intimidate whito voters, but to awo the colorodIndepondents back into the Republican ranks, their caso is up forever. The Second (Norfolk) District was held by the Republi cans up to the timo of the Platto (oode contest, which reilLed in favor of the latter. Mr. Goodo is again a candidate, and it is estiniat ed that he will carry tho district against Segar, Ropublican, by 2,000. In Mr. Goode's case also the colored vote will form a considerable ole ment. In fact the revulsion of the colored vote in these two districte is simply astonishing. LUGoING IN JEFF DAVIS AOAIN. A certain campaign paragraph, -1c o( o tity out West for the l.t Imonth, has now been started on its rounds in the East. The parn graph aforesaid sets forth that Jef ferson Davis had wvritten a letter to a friend here to tihe effect that all the monarchists of Europe were in favor of Tilden's election and would contribute handsomely to that end, and thlat he (Mr'. Davis) intended to return to this country and live in 'Washington, in the event of Tilden's election. It would seem that intel ligent people did not need to be told that tis statement was an au daciou s fabrication from beginning to end, yet it has run tile r'ound1s of all the Radical journals in the 'West, and b~eenl retailed from the stump by such men as Blaine and others. It will be repeated every day from this time to the Presidential eletion by those who know that thoere is nlot one0 word of truth in it. Vinclicating our People. Th e StLate Democratic Executive CJommiitteo has issued the following address to tihe peole, in rega'd to the recnt proclamation of Pr'esi dent Grant : Rools OF THlE STATE ) D)En!OORATxc ExECUTIVE COMMnITTEE. COLUMIA, S. 0., Oct. 18, 1876.) To the Pleopie o'f the Atate of South Car'olina who desire lHonlest Gon ern meat, w0ithout regard to political parlty or race: His Excellency tile President of the United States, did, on1 the 17lth day of this month, issue a procla mnation whley ho comm randled all persons ongagedl ill unlawvful and insurrectionary prloceedings t~o dis per1s0 and retire peneefi lyv to their respective abodes witin three days fr'oml this date, and heronifter' ahan don said combinations and1( submit themselves to the lawvs and consti tutted authlorities of said State. This proclamation is based upon the statemonta made by Daniel H. Chamberlain, the Governor of this Stato, wich statomeont are aimed p~olitically against iis political ep poneunts, and~ are proven to h)o un ti'ue by the testimony of every judge in the State and every trial *justice or other officer of the law from whom response has been obtained. Every resmdent of thme State knowvs them to be untrue. Every Ropubli can of c'haracter or intelligence or who is not in office or seeking offico, and1 many who are in office in thle State, hlavo expressed horror and disgust at the course which the Governor has pulrsue~d. We say this muchl for our v'indication. Never hlas a 1)eopl1 suffered more by dishonor of office and dishonesty of officers. Never has such bold untruth been used for the support of a movement which shakes the p~illar's upon which rest the conisti tutional pr'inciples of a mighty peo pIe. Our State is but a petty por tion of tile Union ; but we call upon our sister States of tile North to re member that the experiment now being maide for the dlomination of our elections by tile bayonet and by soldiers as thle irresistible instru muents of, a revolutionary local des potism, if successful, will become THOS.
