The Eurfhquake.

An earthquake seems to have been heav-
ing its way across the country from the
Pacific ocean to the Ohio River Its shock
was felt o:cr large district of country in
California on the I'd of September. Bene-
clio, Downicville, Sacramento City, San
Juan, Nevada, Grass Valley, Placcrvile,
etc.. were considerably shaken. AT Ne
vada the shock caused much CONSERVATION.
The court house was cracked from top to
bottom, and the people rushed to tho
streets. At ST. Louis yesterday morning
the people were awakened by the shock
which lasted one and half minutes. The
oscillation seemed to be from North to
South, and the New Albany Ledger ofTsst
evening says that the shock was felt at that
place yesterday morning.
This earthquake has not crossed tho
Ohio river, and we hope it won't The
people on this, and from here to the capcs
of the Atlantic seaboard have been shaken
quite enough by the monetary panic. We
hope the earthquake has concluded not to
come across.-Lou. Jour.

Free Hauks.

We publish to-day, says the Inlianapo-
lis Journal of the 10Th, an important doc :
umcnt. 1t is the report of the Auditor of
State of the condition of the Free Banks
since complying with his demand for in
creased securities to meet the depreciation
of stocks in the East. 1t will be seen that,
estimating tie sc art;es at tie rery iowcs'
rates to which they have descended during
the paaic--they exceed the amount Of is
sues nearly ten per cent Since this csti-
mate was made stocks have advanced in
New \ DIRK about ten per cent. making a
security for every bill of the Banks en-
braccl in the report, oftwenty per cent
more than its face If this does not make
our Free Banks safe, il is simply, because
Indiana bonds are MT worth the sixty We
or seventy cents ON the dollar, at which
they are estimated by the Auditor. We
doubt if there is any money in circulation
anywhere that is SO entirely safe, and SO
impossible to make bad. If every bank
fails, ami every proprietor fails, the Audi
tor has means enough to redeem every dol
lar, and leave surplus. The bills. are,
moreover, recommended by the State
Treasurer. to be received in payment Of
taxes With such guards and advantages,
we sincerely believe that ctr citizens will
be doing wise thing to seek for Free Bank
bills as the best money to hay away if they
want to lay away any.

Death of Douglass Mcguire.

The indianapolis Journal of the 14th,
announces the death of DOUGLASS NJ ,aUIRE,
one of the oldest and most respected citi-
zens of indianapolis. His disease was an
affection fthc lungs. lie was born in
Fayettc county, Ky, and commenced the
publication of the Censor, at indianapolis,
in 1928, which was soon after changed to
the name of Indiana Misunderstanding
that title ever since, though it has passed
through many hands. In 1885, Mr.. Ma
guirc retired from the newspaper depart
ment. About 1910 or II, he was elected
State Auditor, in which Office, the Journal
remarks, his excellent sense and industry
made him SO efficient that he was compli-
mented by a Democratic Legislature, and
by Gov. Whitcomb. He has not, since
the expiration of his term as State Auditor,
held any office. except as deputy under DR..
Talbot. He was universally esteemed for
his private virtues and his death is gcncr-
ally regretted.

Free Kansas Meeting al Masonic Hall.
A meeting of Republicans was held at
Masonic Hall on Tuesday evening, to re-
joice over the election of Republican del
legate to Congress from Kansas, aud the
probable election of Republican Legisla-
turo in that territory. The meeting was
we'll attended,, considering the anxiety Of
the Republicans to learn the result Of our
county election and that many remained at
the polls until late in the evening.
On motion. JOHN ID. DEFgEEs was called
to the Chair, and DIR. Elliott appointed
Secretary.
! The Chairman made few remarks sta
ting the object of the meeting, and the re-
suit of the election in Kansas, as far at it
was known.
Dr. Gordon was loudly callel for and
responded in an interesting speech of about
an hours duration, eulogizing the energy
and patriotism of the Free State men of
Kansas, and congratulating the country on
whatever of success they have achieved
against all possible discouragcncnts in the
contest. Thespeaker then analysed the
condition of parties in Indiana and recon-
mendel thorough and early organization
of the Republican party for the important
campaign of next fall.
DIR. Ellis presented the following resolu-
tons, which were discussed bg Messrs
Bradley, Kimberly, Ellis, Vale, Gordon
and Elliot, anil were unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That in the face of the naui-
tous apportionment OF the Territory of Kan
sas, by which fifteen counties were disiran-
chised, in the face of the United States
troops, and in defiance of the mandates of
a corrupt judiciary and an inilnical Gov
crnor, the people of Kansas have achieved
a glorious triumph worthy OF the best days
of the Revolution
Resoiced, That the triumph of Freedom
in Kansas will send thrill throughout the
nation that will not cease to vibrate until
even the high places of the government
shall feel its influence, and the rights
of free men and free labor shall be rccog-
nized and acknowledged throughout the
land
Resolped, That as Inlianians we are
proud of this result. knowing that thous-
ands of the brave sons of our State have
so largely contributed to this glorious tri-
umph.
Resolrei, That the march of Republican
ism is upward and onward, that the glo-
rious victory in Kansas is but the prccur-
sor--thc cloud no bigger than a mans
hand-which augurs Enthusiastically mighty
that triumph in 1860 which shall sweep the
minions of despotism and corruption from
power, ami install the reign Of true lepub-
licanism.
On motion of DIR. Gordon, the meet
ing adjourned to meet at the Court
House on Saturday evening next at
o'clock.

EI- n ballot box of glass has recently
been made in Boston, after model de-
vised by Californian. to prevent That ia
voritc Democratic mode Of procuring a
majority, called ..ballot stulfing" 1t is
thus described by the New York Erening
Post:
The New ballot boxes are globular in
form, and resemble the glass vessels in
which GOLD iish are commonly kept. They
have, like these. a single opening at the top,
which is just about large enough for good
sized fish to enter. A slight projection at
the bottom fits in a socket in an iron plate;
the neck Of the globe is fittel to similar
iron plate at the top; four rods at the cor
ners connect the two plates together. The
whole globe is thus in full view, and it can
readily be seen what is deposited by the vo-
tcr-whether one vote or half Dozen
All stufing by means of false bottoms is
readercd impossible. f
1t is very significant fact, remarks the
Indiana Journal, that this invention has
been called into existence by the enormous
frauds practiced by the Democratic party.
This statement is not a mere escapade oil
political enmity, but fact, and most
disgraceful fact. ballot stufing," was
practiced by that party in San Francisco,
by such men as Casey, Yankee Sullivan,
and Jgdge McGowan, to such an extent
that some protection was absolutely neces-
sary to prevent some thirty or forty gam
blcrs and shoulder hitters appointed by
the Democracy, from ruling the city for all
time.

To tie voters Of Sarke COunty:-With
the permission of the editor l will. through,
the columns of the REPUBLICAN, return you
my grateful anil sincere thanks for the con-
lidence and appreciation implied by your
suffrage on yesterday. (Tuesday). De-
feated by so small majority it is a source
ofcncouragemcnt to me to have this tran
scendent proof of the confidence and esteem
of my fellow. citizens. This proof warns
my heart with emotions of gratitude when
[ recall to my mind that S. 0. WHrrsoN.
my opponent, is almost universally Lowell
and respected by the citizens Of Stark Co,
and that he got but five Of a majority over
me-your suffrage Implying that you also
loved and respected me. This is satisfac
tory evidence of your love and esteem for
me--and while am convinced that no
thanks from me can be adequate to the con-
iden,c you have implied it admonishes
me that the best return can make will be
an unwavering solicitulc to retain the good
opinions of those who have bestowed them
in advance, to conciliate those Of others by
doing them all the good i'm my power, and
by endeavoring to be instrumental in the
happiness of all.
Yours with gratitude,
