tively avowed ; A party in opposition Which
invites tbo people to ebon don ]party in pgwlr
has two things to do. * It must prove the piiiy
in power either thoroughly and practically unworthy
of trust, and roust provide a consistent
and attractive scheme of measures wherewith"
to supplant the incumbept. ' Now the Dcuqp*
orotic party:yw.nyppositlon yd ohi'amfrhj
It had ONgreat dfaf to say against the RepftbJK
cans and proved a great many mistaken, miscarriages
and positive offences, but it hod nothing
to substitute that was better. . On all question*
of legislation likely to arise it was quite at sea.
i As to finances it coalesced freely with Che addleheaded
teachers of the paper money gospel, and
it did so in the face of its own most honorable
traditions.'*'
peatt op tub South was the Cause.?The
Evening Commercial has the following: The
great victory that has been won shows that the
people of the Northern States are true to the
principles for which Grant, Sherman, Garfield
and Hancock fought. There wore other issues,
uui mis was iu? great, overpowering one. xue
tariff played a part, but was it not fear of the
South that brought the tariff question out T?
The South as managed to-day is antagonistic to
the North in all its parts. The demand for free
trade oomes from the South. The "changes"
asked for were first heard there. It was a datermination
that the South Kiould not rule HtW
country through Hancock, Bayard, or any other
Northern man that brought about the result of
yesterday. We may deny this, may sneer at the
"bloody-shirt," and prate about the "war being
over," but these are facts and cannot be disputed.
A CiiKERPUL Voice from tuk South.?Atlanta,
Go., November 8.?Commenting on the result
of the election the Conatilxition says : It is
the culmination of a scries of blunders beginning
with the Potter commission and ending
tie surrender 'oHfcgW ,0 th?
whims of an element which had Mr. Joh'n Kelly
for its commanding general and Mr. Thomas A.
Hendricks as a volunteer adjutant?blunders,
Ilanked and supported and almost oti rshadowed
by a halting, limping campaign wbioh crippled
itself at every corner.
Whatever regrets we may have over the result
are largely tempered by the fact that as far as
the Democratic party is concerned it will be effective
in bringing to the front n?w forces, ne^[
issues, How men. The thoughtful Democrat
will draw from it consolation that much of the
rubbish that has formed the stock in trade of
shiftless politicians and reckless lenders will be
swept away and room mnde for issues that are
practical and paramount. It would appear that
the line of sectionalism has been sharply drawn
by the voters of the North, but there is nothing
depressing in this fact. We are willing that
the North should draw a sectional line in poli- <
tics if the South be permitted to draw, too, p
sectional liuc with respect to progress and improvement
of those conditions and forces which
make a people happy in their fields, thqjr workshops
and their homes. We have a prosperous
future before us, and to this end we should look
intently. We have the cause of public education
to promote, ami the welfare of a great and
growing section to foster. The South expected
little more from Gen. Hancock's administration
than it will ask from Gen. Garfield's. We want
nothing more than simply exact, absoluto justice.
If the new President owes nothing to tho South,
he at least owes something to the country,
and we shall be glad to sec him cancel this
debt by giving us an administration as fair, just
and clear as that of Mr. Ilayes.
Dionifko akd Sknsiblf..?New York, November
8.?The Journal ef Commerce, in commenting
on the elections says : The Republicans have
achieved a very signal victory. The Democrats
have been defeated throughout the entire Northern
States, the local exceptions being insufficient
to qualify the general success of their opponents.
It may be said by heated partisans, smarting
under defeat, mat there have been frauds, bri- I
Lery and oppression, to produco this results.?
We concede that all which official pjwer and
lavish use of money could do has been done to
secure this great victory for the dominant party,
but there is something more than this. The
victory has been gained and the defont inflicted
by an honest counting of the vote, and the country
may bo congratulated that the nowly elected
President may tako his scat with a feeling of
satisfaction that, over and above the votes that
may have been unduly influenced on cither side,
he has been fairly elected by the suffrages of
the people. Many Republicans assume that all
virtue and patriotism of the country were on the
side of that pnrty, but n still greater ofTence was
committed by Democratic speakers and writers
in their personal denunciation of the character
of the Republican nominee. There was nothing
to justify such vituperation. We hope that the
dominant party will soon have a working majority
in both houses of Congress, and that they
may be held fairly accountable for the management
of public affairs. They have an opportunity
to redeem themselves froiQ^ the charges
heretofore justly brought against them by exeroising
a notable magnanimity toward their
brethren of the South, to whoaa thev avanoih^i

Again : In Delaware, Henry, Randolph,.

Howard, Wabaehj Stenbcn, and Parke
counties, open aod notorious frauds wore
committed. The ballot-boxes were 6tufted
aud gangs of repeaters got iu thoir dirty
work at nearly every polling procinct.?
Theso faots were being discussed in tho
committee-rooms this morning, and some

about it. Wo can do nothiug now."
' Yes, but wo can next month, if the same
thing is repeated," I auswered.
"What can you do ?" asked the Enquirer
man.
"Do ? Why, if the Republicans continue
to carry Indiana for Garfield by the
snrno scoundrelly frauds that they carriod it
for'Portef1', we can refuse lo give ttieir fileo-r
tors certificates of election. Let the matter
go to Congress and have that body investigate
the frauds committed in this Stato.
That's what we can do.
"Now this is good meat," said the Enquirer
man, who* is a Republican, and ho
added: "But you Democrats have not
got the nerve to do anything of that kind."
"That may bo, but I do not believe that
Gov. Williams will give any man a certificateofelecfe'J^ ved
to him that
that man was elected by uublui&U>? fraud.
He is an honest man, and believes ic stand-'
ing Ly the rights of tho people."
This is about the substance of the conversation
which occurred. So far as I am
personally, and politically concerued 1 do
not retraot one word. It may bo given a
rasiofiroral bearing go account of my connection
with the Demooratio |State central.
Snd executive committees, but that is purely
unwarranted. I conversed with no member
of the committee udoo the ciucstisn. It
f *
is my opinion that, if tho Republicans repeat
their outrageous frauds in November
and succeed in obtaining a fraudulent majority
for tho Garfield electors, the Governor
of Indiana should refuse to issue the
certificates of election until tho frauds committed
are investigated. On tho other hand,
if the Garfield electors receive a majority
of a fair nnd honest vote of the people, they
arc entitled to, and should receive, their
certificates of cleotion. If this is treason,
make the most of it.
Is it a "damnable rebel -conspiracy to
swindle the people out of the State ?"
?No. It is simply u warning to the political
laud pirates in the Republican party of
Iudiana to have a care'next Tuesday week
iu repeating their hellish frauds.
The people of Indiana never clcoted
Porter Governor. Ho was clcoted Governor
by ignorant black scoundrels from
tho South and villainous repeaters from tho
East.
Ilad an honest vote been polled in Indiana,
one wcok ago last Tuesday, Landers
would havo been elected Governor by 10,.
000 majority.
As high as fifty dollars was paid for
single votes in Indiana for\Porte.r.
"In Fort Wayne" Democratic workers icere
even paid one hundred dollar new bills for
their treachery.
In the first district, German counties, ten
thousand now two and a half dollar gold
pieces were put in circulation by Bill Heiluian
and the Republican disbursing committees.
The State was debauched by money from
Lako to Randolph, aud from l'osley to Steuben.

- i ? - ' II SIRS
WHICH THE LAW CARROT BEACH.
There aro various kinds of sins committed
every day, and by alinott everybody, in this
sinful world of ours, some which the lav
cqnnot roach, and some which it will not
la uiauy cases, in this day of personal cring
iog aijd party favoritism, it is the sinnci
and not the wio that vre are striking at.?
There arc somo crimes that are so difficult
to annlyso and define that it ia almnat iin
.possible to bring them within ?ho inter
dieted ealendnr. and under the law of the
nutates. The facilities for a man to oon
^eal his shortcomings and . oorer up hit
eial position. It uiukoa a vast diffcrcnco
in the treatment of tho ease, as to whose os
is gored or whoso bull did it. Justioe if
.represented as being blind and holding the
well balanced scales with equal and steady
hand, but this beautiful allegory has passed
into a faded fiction of law, or a wild freak
of the imagination.
It is true the world moves and we move
with it, b'ut not nlways in tlio right direction.
There is a retrogrado movement,
even in revolutions, although it is said they
nover go backwards. Every new idea or
buntiuient is not an improvement on the
p:o>t, and things. besid"S wine, are
the better for being old. Stealing is a
crime punUhublo by law, and yet you cau
steal n man's good nnnio, which is above
tlio price of rubies, and go unwhipt of jus1
tice, not that you nro not culpable aud doservo
to bo dealt with as a malefactor, but
that your sin is of that nature whioh the
Jaw of tbo laud does not ^aually (gjee cognisance
of. You may b? (Ml the popular
sido and have friends ooough ip official positions
to thwart tho'purpos& bf the law nod
prevent it from reaching your ease. The
Spartans had a law which took the penalty
from the commission of crime and placed it
upon tlio uct of boing detected. Wo have
adopted, this mode ot legal proocdurc ta
'some extent, and have even gouo further,
for wo do not always punish the criminal,
oven whon detected. The law of society
and custom often abrogates und supercedes
the regularly constituted law of tlio land.

cxtcut all ovor the laud, tuny bo largely
attribnJ?d to the lax administration of jus
tice in failingV?1puuish thuso who openly
defy its sacred bch'GS&l. and live in daily
violation of the laws of botti iYur moral nod
civil codes. IIow can wo expect to.fuip

prosper na a people, so jogg as. we fail to
cnforco ihd'lntfs and rcgHtpnons that Lind
society and govornjuept," together^? ?W,q
have ney nuinbdt'of laws upon our statute
books which are never onforced, bccauso
they are not popular, aud fuil to be sustained
by public opinion. The law against duelling
is not ouforccd, and never will be, until
a change in the popular feeling is effected.
These things hnvo a bad effected. Tboso
things have a bad effect, iuastnuuh us they
bring tho law into disrepute and accustom
tho people to ignore its biuding obligations,
uud treat its sacred behests with contempt.
If one law can be violated with impunity,
they caunot see why another should not,
and thus its restraining influenco is weakened,
ard crime is encouraged
Many pcYsous aro prompted, often from
tho best of motives, to protect their friends
and screen thorn from tho pcuultiqp of n
violated l iw ; but it is a bad precedent, aud
works ovil in tho end. All bad and inefficient
laws should be at ouoe abolished,
and thoso of tho better nnd more necessary
class that romain should DC rigidly enforced
against all offenders, without any respect of
persous, places' or positions. A law that
cannot reach a crime whioh it forbids and
was intended to punish, is a positive evil,
and works mischief to tho body politic and
society ut large, and should be promptly
ubolished. Tho law against carrying concealed
weapons may be enforced in the
towns and cities whero special ordinances
are passed to protect society within their
corporato limits, but tho Stato laws on this
subject are not worth the paper they are
written on, from the fact that they will
never bo euforccd. Nobody will uct
part of an informer, and tho consequence
is, nobody will eve; be tried for tho oflfcnco
Thus we see thoro aro manv crimes which
the law either cannot or will not roach.

The sTar of the Uniotf, so far as the \

she will divida on living questions, and
there will bo no moro solid South. He did

i ? The Sioe-Saddm on the Tube.?Tho
I twenty-niilo equestrienne raco betweeu
, Misses Jcwett, Pinneo and Buckingham
cauio near being a flat failure. Th afteruoun
was cold aud diaagreeab'c, n strong wind
blowing from tho north. The Jockey Club'
track wus heavy ond the nttondanco small,.
Miss Buckingham, tho "Muzcppa" rider, it
'^was thought would giro tho other ladies a
poor, for dlwr dropped behimJ from fihe start ^
rtler animal going at au easy circus lope,
while tho others were galloping with long
and rapid strikes. The actress proved no
match for tho tough little girls of tho FarWest,
and at tho fourth time around, having
lost nonrly a mile, she suddenly throw
up tho sponge. One of her groomsmen
jumped iuto her saddle and sped around tho
truck, as if to show hoi how easy a thing it
was, but alio did not try again. Miss Jewett
had taken tho lead at tho start and kopt
it until tha sixth mile, when Miss Pinnco
suddenly spraug to the front and maintain*
cd a strong lend until tho end of the thirteenth
mile, when, it is said, Miss Jcwctt
was unable to stop her horse, and so kept on
and made two miles without changing.
Sho did not gain much by this, as Miss Pinnoo
soon caught up with hor, and they
came down tho homestretch of tho four*
teenth mile togcthor. This was tho most
exciting heat of tho contest, apd tho remaindor
