have been gained, with the
chances strongly in favor of a "Demo
cratic preponderance in the lower
branch of the tate Legislature, while
the Senate will remain It-publican by a
reduced majority. The total vote in
the State f r Stewart, the Independent
Republican car.didate for Govr rnor, will
not, in our opinion, exceed sixty thous
and, r.lthongh it is claimed in some
quarters that it is over one hundred
thousand.
In New York the United Democracy
swept the city by seventy-five thousand
of a majority, while in the St ate the
same party fhcted Grover Cleveland
Governor by a majority of over one hun
dred thousand, rained six members' of
Congress and secured a majority of the
Legislature. Of course Cleveland large
majority was due to the fact, that thous
sands of disgusted Republicans voted
for him.
In Connecticut th.e Democrats elect
ed Walh r. their candidate for Govern
or, and three of the four Congressmen,
and also in New Hampshire they are be
lieved to have elected their candidate
for Governor.
In Massachusetts F.enj. F. Butler,
the regular Democratic nominee for
Governor.has astonished the world and !
the rest of mankind"' by defeating his j
Republican opponent by a majority of j
fifteen th.ou"and. There is also a gain
lull r i.t i u ,i i-,',.
These are the most striking features
in the result of Tuesday's elections in
the Northern States, while in every
Southern ar.d Western State the Dem
ocracy have firmly held their ground
and made gains in Cong-ross. rendering
It certain that the rext House of Repre
sentatives will bo Democratic by about
forty of a majority.
In Yirginia Mahone and his godless
crew of freeliooters succeeded in elect
ing their candidate for Congressman-at-Large
and have probably gained a mem
ber in the Norfolk district.
In view of the decisive work done by
the "Democracy on Tuesday, their abil
ity to elect the next President is a fore
gone conclusion, if they are actuated by
sound judgment and wholesome discre
tion. THE VICTORY IX CAMRRTA.
The result of the election in this coun
ty proves beyond all doubt that when
lier Democracy are united and impelled
by a common purpose, they can always
win. The Irish troops, the "Mac's and

rolitici! traditions, laughed to scorn the

KOTinFRIKS OF THE INDI.VXS.
It was rather unfortunate for Mr.
Price. Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
that his self-loryincr report of the bu
reau should have been published con
temporaneous with the crovernment of
A cent Tiffany's embezzlement, and of
his complicity in the recent rising in
Arizona.
The jrreaf-est frauds have leen perpe
trated :mori.T (je Indians under the
irnise rif philan'rophv ; and th.e areate3t
rascals anion? the Indians have been
the canting hypocrites who protested
aaramsc a wise economy and or protec
tion. The worst wars have been notoriously
incited either by the cupidity or villiany
of agents of the government, and almost
every measure of the whites may bo
charsrnd direetlv to bad faith of their
own race with the red men. There are,
of course, vicious and savace Indians,
who must 1 treated according to their
deserts, and restrained with the strong
arm.
Rut the most intelligent, the best dis
posed, and the noblest specimens of the
race have been transformed into vio'ent
enemies by the frauds," the iniquities,
and the robberies of the very persons
whom they have leen taught to trust as
representing the governing power at
Washington.
Legislation could not effect reform.
when the administration. of the Indian
svst em was in the hands of venal joliti-
ri.lnR Therpfor,, thp attempts in
that direction failed, and practically
made matters worse instead of making
them better. The Indian Rurean has
. s it
..een iiiiir less man a nu,f.y j-.u, Artificial rPe,ations of that character have
run by a Ring, or a fieid of visionary never sir pp tne beginning of the world, had
experiment. One is nearly as"costly as Br)y efTPrt but a bad one on;the general con
the other. j dition of the society that tried them. But
The actual expense of the Indian i
service has increased in proportion aa
the tribes have diminished in numbers.
This financial paradox is not at all
strange when the methods of manage
ment is considered, and when an Tndian
agent with S1."00 per annum in salary
j seeks the appointment expecting tomake
j a fortune inside of four years.
: The Indians have been gradually dy
1 ing off. It is the boast of the bureau
i that manv tribes have leen brought into
I civilized life, that education is spread
j ing among them, and that the wild no
m.ids are fast falling into small and
scatteied bands. In fact, there would
be no Indian question but for Indian
agents.
A comparison lietween the cost of this
service for the last twenty years, with
reduced numbers, and for the preceding
twenty years, with far greater difficul
ties than now exist, tells the whole story.
Here are the official figures for the last j
Treasury report :
INDIANS EXPENDITURES.
From 1R42 to 18U, inclusive..., 4'5,"22,7?v; 71
From lSi2 toissi, Inclusive 10ti,8is,240 35
Difference of the two periods.. ?50,125,447,6't
The excess alone in the last twenty
years wa fourteen millions greater than
the whole outlay in the first twenty
years, while the Indians were regularly
reduced in numbers during all this per
iod of forty years. Before the civil
war, the Indian service averaged over
two millions a year, but since the ad
vent of Grantism it has averaged over
six millions and a quarter per annum.
Related investigation have proved
that millions of these appropriations
have leen stolen by Rings, with their
headquarters in the Indian Bureau, and
with the direct complicity of some Sec
retaries of the Interior. This, however,
is only one feature of the general rotten
ness of the Republican party. JVep

A f II A n actf.h istk; letter FROM HON.
JEIJFMIAH S. I-.LACK.
The following letter, addressed by
Judse Black to the editor of Justirt, the
recognized organ of the Anti-Monopoly
party, published in New York city will
amply repay a careful and thoughtful
perusal :
Editor of Jcptice : 1 thank you for tha
admirable letter of the Reverend Mr. Crosby
wh'ch vou were kinri enough to send me, and
I improve the occasion to congratulate you
on the boom which Anti-Monopoly is getting.
When your leaane was formed, less than two
years aeo. it seemed to be goinn out on a for
torn hope, now the people are rushing to
the rescue of their rights with a spirit which
reminds one of the old days wh-n Jackson
led them. Mr. Crosby's letter is a comfort
ing si?n that behind t'bejbnttle of mere parti
sans there is a reserved moral force which
may he counted on to intervene before the
wort enrnes to the worst.
But b not. however, overconfident of fin
al sneres. This monopoly dragon hasjmar.y
heads ar.d a power of multiplied reproduc
tion. Kverywliere and at all times the rights
of prorrtv have suffered from its friehtful
depredations. In this country the devises
are innumerable bv which it appropriates to
itoelf the earnings of labor, the products of
land an '1 .the profits of legitimate commerce
without right or title, except what it gets by
corrupt legislation, and the favor of a vicious
government.
THE nrSKXPIBri.TTY OT GREEn.
What makes it most formidable is the high
character of the men who support, U and the
good faith in which they act. Monopolists
never feel n doubt about the righteousness of
the system which builds up their colossal for
tunes, flow they manage their consciences
I do not know and they themselves are not
able to tell ; but they do It successfully. An
English gentleman of large estate declared
that ever after the repeal of the corn laws
he knew and felt, that tt was a roost Infam
ous outrage on humanity and justice, to tax
the bread of the poor for the pnrposn of
swelling the income of the rich ; but he had
not thought so before the repeal ; while the
corn laws were making a large yearly addi
tion to rents, he was able, by some mysteri
ous process, to reconcile a warm support of
them with his duty to God and man. Mr.
Ames spoke with entire frankness when he
aid concerning the gigantic frauds of the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, that he
never dreamed there was anything wrong in
the business, or beard a suggestion to that
effect from any of his associates. That was
because they were getting, or expected to
get. a hundred million dollars by It.
"A gift blindeth the eye and perverteth the
lodgment of the righteous." I have known
hundreds of large manufacturers who got
their labor at starvation wages and sold it
in a mononolled market at double price;
and all of them, with one single exception,
blessed the tariff which protected them in the
practice of their double extortion. Govern
or Stanford, of California, is a perfectly hon
est man, but he believes that the pile of un
counted millions which he has won bv deso
lating the land and scourging the Industry of
the country with h's railroad monopoly, is as
jnstlv acquired as if he had earned it by the
sweat of his face. Moreover, he has public
ly avowed his conviction that the great hlgh
wav between the. oceans, built and eonipped
at the public expense bv public authority,
for the public use, benefit and behoof. Is the
private property of himself and associates
who are anpointed to manage it as agents of
the public ; and he may acknowledge no
rhlht of the public which may conflict with
his proprietary dominion. And to this doc
trine other good men wlrh similar interests
devoutly say. Amen. They do not see what
is palpably plain to Impartial persons that
an Admiral of the Xavy might as well claim
to own the fleet he commands and use It to
lew for his private chest, "as much as the
traffic will bear" upon all the commerce of
the sons.
i This faith In the moral and legal goodness
of their cause makes monopolists active and
I gives them a powerful influence. They are
sincere, respectable, rich, strong, greedy and
j unscrupulous in the use of their strength.
SECRET ANT CORRUPT MITHOnl.
I They have modes of operation which yon
can neither adopt or counteract The popu
lar insurrection which threatens to defeat
the coming elections mav cripple, but it will
I not. ktll them. They will re-assert their con-
trol'over vour representatives as boldlv as
I ever, and how successsnllv yon may judge
j from what has happened in Pennsylvania.
I Our constitution declares that railroads and
canals are public highways, devotes them to
i use of all the people upon equal terms, for
! bids all manner of fraud and favortism. all
oppressive exactions, and all discriminations
between places or persons. It then express
ly command that the (ieneral Assembly shall
carry tbese provisions into effect by appro
priate legislation. We elect our legislators
and regularly swear them, not merely to sup
port, but to obey the constitution. Never
theless, arguments which monopoly alone
knows how to use have convinced them that
this part of the constitution ought to be
treated with silent disregard ; and the abuses
of railroad power not only go on, but get
worse and worse.
THE REAL COX SEQUENCE.
The actual oonsequences resulting to the
country from the measures of the monopolist
have not I think, been truly represented or
properly considered, ror many years past

the monopolists insist inai iney nave cnane
ed the nature of things and enriched the
masses ot the people by the simple process
of (Veiling from them the fruits of their toll,
They loudly cry out that the whole country
is in a state of boundless prosperity. They
get this brag inserted in political platforms
whenever it can and thunder it from every
stump on which they are permitted to speak.
But it is false. Thev themselves are. Indeed,
superabnndanMy rich ; and, invested as they
are with the privilege of plundering their
fellowcitizens, why should they not get rich?
P.nt for every millionaire they have made A
thousand paupers. The relations between
workmen and employers have never been so
unsatisfactory as now. Laborers are com
plaining everywhere of inadaquate wages,
and the complaint is true without doubt.
The law ought to secure a living rate of com
pensation ; bnt capital has got 1alor by the
throat and will not suffer anything to be
done for its relief. Agriculture is scarcely
better off. The farmer who tills his own
acres can make but the barest living. The
carrying trade of the world has passed away
from h into the hands of our great rival,
simply because onr preposterous legislation
will not permit us to buy ships abroad, or
make them at home, without paying a tax
on the material, which enhances their coat ;
and by reason of this that is to say, from
sheer inability to carry it or get it carried
by the nearest way we have lost what was
and should be now tne richest portion of our
commerce. Is all the loss and suffering of
the industrious classes to be ignored ?

ty, met with a strange sdventure one day
recently. .SJ-.e had broken out of her pasture
and gained tbe track of the Wilmington and

i She was struck and thrown up on the pilot
I of the engiiT. where she was carried for a
considerable distance, and on being thrown
off she fell bicc in front of the engine and
was again pi.Sted up by the cowcatcher. Af
ter being carried a short distance she was
thrown to the side of the road, when she re

owner was far from the point where slie was
struck. Strangely enough the mare was but
slightly injured, and in a few days will be
none the worse for her singular experience.
An encyclical letter of tbe l'oj o wr.sread
In all Catholicchircbes of London on Sun
day, the occasion being the seventh centen
ary of St. Francis Assisi. The Pope lament
ed the deart?l of Christian virtues in the 1
nineteenth centnry, and says the greater part
of mankind to-day are seeking to revel in j
luxury, and reine extravagant of their own I
goods, are greedy after those of their neigh- '
bors. They ex-tot the name of fraternitv of
mankind, bet talk more fraternally than tney j
act. Votar:s of rationalism encourage vio- ,
lence and seoition among the people, provoke i
agrarian di-L-urbances. Hatter the appetite of ;
the lower classes, and by these means and '
others serve- to weaken tne foundation of -domestic
life and public order instead of :

that Franciscnn institutions be more w idely 1

James-E. Anderson, who, according to -telegraphic
advices, was killed on Friday at !
Eureka, .Nevada, was a celebrated character j
in the Presidential elation contest of
lie aciuere,! considerable notoriety as a wit
ness before the Potter Investigating Com
mittee. Right or ten years ago be was an
employe in the (roverninent Printing office.
He left thereand became a politician in Lou
isiana. He was the chief election officer of
East Fejtuiana parish, in that Stale in J87G,
and afior making one return favorable to
Tildcn, . subsequently made another giving
Hayes the parish. The election of the State
turned upon Anderson and his return of the
parish vote. The Returning Board counted
his Hayes return and Anderson afterward
claimed the reward which he alleged had
been promised him for making it. Anderson
won a notorious and unenviable reputation
as a witness. He went to Nevada, and for a
time was connected with a pper at Gold
Hill. Subsequently he went to Eureka,
where he ended his eventful career by dying
in the approved Western style "with his
boefes on."
