Death. of Chief Justice Tanev.

Chief Justice fancy died at his resi-
dence in Baltimore. at late hour on the
night of the l2fh inst. He had been i'll
for week or two, but had so often recov-
cred from attacks apparently as dengeross.
that no arprehensions were aroused except
in the immediate family circle.
Ex.Secretary Chase will most proba-
bly, be appointed to fill the vacancy; at
least we hope SO. and We believe he is the
choice of nine tenths of the Uzion men of
the country.
The Chicago Tribune makes the follow
ing comments upon the death of the Chief
Justice:

To the People of Indiana.

The Union State Central Committee
congratuIates the country. tho armies of
The Union, and the people'of Indiana, up
on the important triumph achieved in the
election just held in this State.
1t is a triumph that proves that our
people can be trusted in the. hour Of
emergency; that they will rise above all
party considerations, and bidding defiance
TO the dictates of self-constituted party
leaders, declare for the salvation of the
county.
The recent discovery Of the fact that
here in our midst. an armed conspiracy
had been formed for the purpose Of aiding
the rebels to overthrow the Government,
caused the good of all parties to fear and
tremble, lest the terrors OF anarchy and
revolution should fall upon them. We
live as yet unframed by the dreadful |
calamity. and.to thank the Almighty for
our preservation from evils so imminent
and so full of woe
The will of the people has been asserted !:
1t gives assurance to. the world that our
Republic still lives. it proves that the peo-
pie arc capable Of self government. and
that in the progress Of events, mankind
everywhere may assert the right to gov
ern themselves.
The result will nerve the arm Of the
patriot soldier as he rushes into the deadly
conflict, and console the dying hours of
departing heroes. 1t proclaim to rebel
hosts that there is to he No cessation of
hostilities until they lay down their arms
and yield obedience to the Constitution
and Laws Of the land. 1t is the harbnger
OF peace, permanent and honorable. which
every tine patriot de>nes.
The loyal people of Pennsy lvania, Ohio
and Indiana have :elt the common enemy
by reconnaissance in force. The object Of
that reconnaissance has been accomplish

The Committee earnestly, anil with
confidence, appeal to their fellow country
men to Immediately prepare for the con-
llTct and the certain triumph that awaits
them. There will he no cessation of
efforts on the part of our noble army, and
there should be none on the part OF t..o>e
who sustain that heroic band OF our coun-
try's defenders. Let us then rcitera,c the

Let us be firm and faithful, as cur

dence. to whose will we bow in humble
obedience. will restore tranquility when it

An incident occurred at the polls yester.
day exhibiting the dishonesty of the
Copperheads. A soldier presented him
self, ticket in hand, to vote. Being
soldier was against him, but the thing was
settled when a noisy Copperhead cha-
lenged his vote. The judges Immediately
refused his ticket. Well. says the soldier,
you see what you have lost, at the same
time unfolding his ticket, which proved to
be a straight out Cop?crhead one. This
of course changed the thing at once: four
or five leading Copperheads nteriered ami
insisted on the soldiers right to vote,
when the judges reconsidered their decis-
'sn. and concluded he was a legal voter
This admitted, the soldier cooIy drew
from his pocket Union ticket and voted

it with an insinuation of youthful indiscre-

be employed by a school-boy more flip

and couple it with such insinuations as
have mentioned. !, would be quite as ap-
Propriate and equally as true ss the cpl

apply to me. He might with equal jus.

Last week we stated that many Unien

by slufling the ballot boxes in Union and
Green townships. and perhaps in West

and have obtained the signatures of about
twenty more in each township than the
aggregate number of Union ballots count.

alone. The Democratic gain in West and
German townships was unprecedentedly
large. and the inference is almost irresisti.

that was Practised in Union and Green.
We hope our friends in those townships
will take steps Immediately to. ascertain to
certainty whether there was any swim.
ding done or not. We have little doubt
that we we're swindled out Of at least 200
votes in The county by the stuffing process,
