To this number it is only nec essary to odd sixty votes to- elect Greeley and Brown. In Pennsylvania the distinguished chairman of tho Liberal committee hus eloquently characterized the meth ods by which the result of tho election there was Accomplisliod. We com mend bis stutemcnt to tho thoughtful attention of the country. . lu Ohio, dexpito most unprecedent ed gains for tho Liberal Democratic ticket, the Grunt managers bare car ried the election by a reduced major ity, having brought to the poll their entire roscrvo volo. Hud our Demo cratic friends in certain localities of that great Commonwealth shown tho sumo curncntnr&s and activity, and enabled us liko our enemies lo record our entire strength, they would now bo exulting over a brilliant victory. In Indiana tho Dctnot ratio and Liber al forces have achieved a most im portant suceccs over Pennsylvania tactics, most unscrupulously employ ed by the administration and its al lies, showing thus that a free pcoplo whon aroused know their rights and dare maintain them. Indiana bas fairly demonstrated that she can neither bo "bonght nor bullied." Tho moral of Iho results is that victory is still in plain view for pur national tickot, and that enorgy and oourago will unsure tl. TUttt, victory most b. won. If we mean to preserve froo institutions on this continent wo must assure It. Tho event in Pennsylvania on Tues day last, when considered in its caus es, is the most appalling political ca tastrophe that has ever taken placo In this country. Should the xyitem through wbicb this catastrophe was brought about bo Condon"'! by the people and fuinlcd on the other States, it sculs tho doom of freedom in Ameri ca. A sad contrast it is surely tbat tho city In which our republic was born amid the nnlhems of a free pco plo fchould now be tho first to loll ibe knell of its liberties. It is tor tho free, unbought people of all tho Stales to calmly review the fearful crime aguinat suffrage in Pennsylvania, and to decide whether it shall bo rcpoutcd within their own borders. Fur the Bint liino tho system of free government and tho sanctity of tho ballot are really on trial in tho Unilcd States. From this hour for ward tho preservation of the franchise in its integrity dwurfs nil other issues. Let our friends in each of tho Slates catch inspiration from the heroic con duct of our fellow citizens in Georglu and Indiana; nnd from now to No vember let their strugglos bo manful and unceasing for liberty and an un tainted ballot box, for roform nnd an honest administration of Uio govern ment.

Oereola Depopulated Black and Whitee In Armed nHeatility Led by Carpet-Baoqere Murder of Sheriff Marry--More 3ona af Bleed and Leoal War Imminent. I ThouIcmphis(Tcun.)corro!pondont of the Now York llcraU, of the 13ih, thus describes tho scenes transpiring in a "froo" Sluto under Grant rule : tllnving just returned from Osceola, Ark., I am enabled lo send it slate inent of tho impending troubles at thut point. Tbo town ol Osceola contains some six hundred inhabitants, five dry goods stores, seven rot-ail groceries or grog shops, and sovcrnl dozen trading what nro left by the tornado which swept over the pluce two weeks ago, and destroyed some twenly bouses, including a church anil three store houses, will) their contents. Oscoolu is the county seat of Missouri county, Arkansas, and is on tbo Missouri Riv er, ninety milos ubovo this city. Tho surrounding country is swampy, and tho settlement, oxcept an occusioul cotton or farm plantation of sorcrul hundred acres, is rather a wild region. Except by river thoro is no communi cation with tho place from this city, und it has neither railroad nor lelo grnph station, though there is a regu lar landing for Bleutners. Tbo inhab itants, except those wbo own farms, are an illiteruto type, such ns goner ally reside in a newly sealed country. For tho past six years . . . . i TUB COUNTY OFFICIALS , have been of the stripe of the follow ers of ex-Governor Clayton and bis doctrines. Their elevation to office was entirely duo to Iho negroes and ignorant whites. Properly and land owners have bad no volo in tbo elec tion of ollicinU, and a split in the domi nant party in tbo Stuto gave tho Lib erals so mo hope of changing tbe politi cal siltiHlion and eventually securing a less bated sot of county otileiuls. Tbe principal leuders of tbo factions woro Murry, the Sheriff of Missouri couuly, ond Fitzpatrick, County Reg ister. The latter is a bold, bad, errutic man, of violent prejudices, a carpet bagger from Kontucky and a confirm ed Radical. FITZPATRICK KILLS SIIKItlFF MURRAY. In a public discussion of local poli- Uc ana six weeks BtfO lie donouncod Sheriff Murry, whom be afterwards shot and killed in an altercation, wbicii brought grout denunciation down on hitn. Tic was a Liberal or "brindle tail," and popular willt the people. Fitznlrick was an extremist, with only negroes for associates, nnd considerable feeling was engendered by bis killing of Murry, which was by some rogerdod in the light of self-defence, tbat ofllcial ba'.'iri' enrnmenem! tho assault that re sulted in bis death, Fitzpatrick was soot) released under bonds to anpeur at tlie succeeding term of Court 1 LOCAL TYRANNY. .t short timo sineo Colonel Gotiso, Lilipralcantliduti) Tor Congress, visiled Okicolu to sneak on tho nolitical issues. Fi ipatriek met him and asked to be permitted to "divido timo."

Bad fueling was increased by ibis cit'ctimstnnco, and somo threats " m"Jo ly both factions. Last Tupday was the appointed time for tht tOunty Court to bo beld. Judgo Pa Bier, of Helena, was appointod spijial judge in the absence of Judge Sti ihenson, who bad gone off to settle thtjPope county troublo, In company rney for ibe circuit ; also several ibers of tho Bur. , lie arrived ot Jola bystenmor Irom tins city early on Tuesday morning. It was boon palpublo that trouble was brewing, i ... . ' mv indg. onua voun uu tound that all the JtnollS AND WITNESSES WF.Rg ARMF.D. During tbo morning session of the Court a parly of armed whlto men, somo twenty in number, marched into the place and slacked arms in a storo. They staled thut they desired to pro tect tbP Court and jurors from nltnok or intimidation by bodies of armed nogrous wlicm Pitxpulrick wits known lo have lurking in Iho neighborhood. An armed party of negroes currying a Aug also inarched through tbo town and drew up in front of Fiupulrick's ofllue. Tho latter took their colors and placed them over his houso. tie conferred with Judgo Palmer, und slated that ho was anxious to have his trial for the murder of Shoriff Murray at tbo present term of Court. JIJBORS TURNED INTO SOLDIERS. Upon opening tho Court on Wodiies day morning Judge Pulmcr found neither jurors nor witnesaei forthcom ing. All were under arms, and bud joined tbe cot-tondlng factions, the whites, under tlioir chosen leader, Bowcn, taking position to the north of tho town, und tho blacks, under Fitz patrick, stationed ono milo south of the villago, both on tbo rivor banks. Judgo Palmer, attorney Clayton, Sher iff Driver and and "ororal Influential friends met the belligerent under flag umm mm. 1872. ; NEW of truce and read tbo riot net to tbo lenders of ench. Fitzpnlrick promised to dosperso his bund, ISi strong, and nil the blacks. Tho other side disclaimed being rioters. During Wednesday afternoon Filr.patiick, in stead of dispersing bis band, n.oved thom towards tho town in doubln filo, marched in'nr tbo southern edgo of Iho villago nnd filed off throngbl n lano. COMMENCING THE BATTLE. Halting nenrly' n milo west, tbo whites under Bowcn net-opted sup posed hauler for bullle, and moved forward through tho town nnd down the levee towards tho blacks, who al onoo marched JjlJojiwusto of ftillcn timbor reeonlly thrown down by a violent tornado. At n rungo of GOO yards firing commenced between tbo parlies, and long rango skirmishing was kept up for nn hour or two, re sulting in Ibe death of Anderson Gar rot, a black follower of Fitzpatrick. Tho whites subsequently drew off, re tired to llieir cump, built camp tircs throw out pickets aud laid on their arms during tbo night.

On the Thurs day uftornoon fil'ly-two urmcd while men reached Oscoola from Homers villo, Mo., a town twenty-live milos west of Osceolu.

All wero charged with being participants' with Filzput rick with tho troubles. Tbo stores und bouses woro all closed, and much of tho goods and plunder hnd beeno moved across the river or elsewhere. Families wero also sent out of tlm place, cotton fields wero deserted, workshops closed, nnd the general ap pearance denoled strifo nnd disaster.

The Expulsion pf tlie Ronapartes , from FrancoWhat Next 7 President Thiers does not sleep upon a bod of roses. Tbo revolution- uiy elements of Franco nro beginning to effervesce tiguiti. This provisional conservative Republic of Thiers is Ap proaching n ci ibis.

Tho Orlcanists unci tbo elder Bour bons bavo permitted theirs lo puss by, and it may never, bo offered them again, j The impending ilrugglo will be botwoon the parly of Thiers, the I party of Gambeltn ami the party of tho Empire. President Thiers bas maintained bis pro tempurq govern ment so fur with singuliir und unex pected success through his adroit ma nipulations of a discordant Assembly. But Ibis policy of hedging nnd mas terly Inactivity cannot bold much longer. A government in Franco which fights only to gain timo is not securo from ono day to another. We: may excuso, on tho ground of necessity, tho re-cstablishment under Thiers of Napoleon's censorship of tbo press ; tbo continued shooting ol the Communists may bo approved by n largo body of Frenchmen as neces sary to keep down thut terrible spectre of llio Commune ; but in tho expulsion of Princo Nnpoleon and his wife from tbo soil of France there is a confession of n fenr nf tho Empire which will not wenken tbo party or tbo causa of tbo Uonapurtcs among llio French people. If, in Ibis connection, it is triio thut President Thiers has requested King Victor Emmanuel lo recall tbo Cbov alier Nigra, ilia Italian Minister to France, because ho is a Bonapurtist, then it must bo true thut of all the dangers most drosded by, and mosl threateninglo, Thiers is tho dangerous power of tho Empire through a possi ble coup d' it;:t in the revolutionary French capital. The remnants of the Communo might possibly support an imperial cmip d' etat with tbo oppor tunity In Paris in revenge against Thiers. In ony event, ilia internal pcaco of Franco is not yet secured, and llio dangers which threaten it are thickening und widening from day to day. Franco ncods und is hungering for a pormunont govornmont, nnd tbe transition thereto threatens another convulsion. N. Y. Uernll.

A Wife's Pow er. Tho power of a wife, for good or for evil, is Irresisli bio.

Emanuel Sbaffner, llio prisoner, wa. brought, into tbe court room shortly after by Sheriff Hoikel. Physically he seemed somewhat moro robust than ut tho first trial, and hi indifference to bis terriblo position appeared jast us marked. , Soon nf'.cr llio appearance of tho prisoner tbo clerk of tho court or dered him to eland up nnd hold up his right baud. Tho iudictmont was then read by the clerk, after which the prisoner was asked, How say you, Emanuel Sbaffner, "gnily or not guilty f" The prisoner replied "guilty of mur der in tbo second degree." The iudictmont charging tho pris oner with tho murder of John Shar lock was next read, und tbe same que-, lion asked, when the prisoner replied "guilty of murder in the second degree.' 4'he indictment charging the pria oner wilh tbe murder of Sarah Shaff ner was next read, und tho plea "guil ty of murdor in liie second degree" wa put in. Tbo district attorney stated that in. consequence of tho prisoner putting in the plea of "murder in tbe second degree" in nil tho cases, and tbo endi of justice being served, the term of imprisonment being sufllciont to pro vent bis doing further barm io tbo community, bo accepted the pleas, with the consent of the court.

' llis Honor Judge Pearson stated tbat it was wilh reluclunco that tho court agreed to anything ll.ut lookoJ like compromise, but in consideration of tho offer, and as the ends of justice would be attained, the court consonted lo accept tbo offer and allow the pleas to bo entered, knowing that the con finement of the defendut would be of such a length that ho would havo no further opportunity of doing harm to tho community or tho members thereof. Tbo court then asked if the prisoner hnrl nnytbinir to say why sentenco should not be pronounced upon him. He answered in a firm tone, "Noth ing." Ilo wus then ordered to stnntl up, whonJudgo Pearson addressed him in substance as follow : Emanuel Shaffer ! You bavo put in the plea of "guilty of murder in the sec ond degree" to three indictments, and although you wore indicted for murder in tbe first degree, nnd were no doubt guilly,wo have concluded to accept tlio pleas.
