"LincOln is Elected and I am
Eree,,,

At the ssrenade of fGovernor Hahn at New
Orleans, Judge Z. H. Durrel in responding
to toast to tie Governor, said:
The first thing that brought Mr.. Lincoln
to his personal knowledge was his election as
President of the United States in 1860 He
knew that he was elected fairly by the pop
ular vote. When, the morning after the
election, tie news came of his election, a
little negro came to him while he was yet in
bed, and with all the enthusiasm of which
young Africa was capable, exclaimed: Lin
coin is elected and am free" He believed
then, and he had since that time no reason
to change his opinion, that the negro under
stood the contest in the length and breadth
its width and depth, as we'll as we did, and
from that moment he had labored with O
certainty in his Own mind that God had re-
solved thatthrough this great contest slavery
should cease to exist. That, as inasmuci
as the white man was the. first slave, the
black man should be the Esst.,

The INDIANA Elections.

The Indianapolis Journal sums up the
result Of the late elections in Indiana as
follows:
Local elections sometimes do not take on
a decided party character, or where they do
they are frequently allowed to go by default
by the minority, and in either case are val
ueless as political indications. In the late
elections, in Laporte county, for instance,
the Democrats made no effort, and the URion
men, confident of success, were equal lly care
less, so that the Union majority OF. 262 in
Center township means nothing, On the
other hand, in Franklin county, and Miami,
and several others, the Union men, being
in big minority in the leading township,
did not even nominate ticket. There the
Democratic majorities mean simply, that
the Union men were idle. But in others,
contests were made, and there the results
show almost uniform gains fer the Union.
Washington county furnishes an illustration
| on both sides. In Washington township
no effort was made by the Union men, and
the Democrats elected their ticket by, a
wretched little majority, which an hours
effort would have destroyed, while in Or,
leans the Union men worked earnestly and
beat the Copperheads badly. In Vigo
county, in several Of the townships, there
was a,contest, and the result shows SO deci
ded gain of Union strength, that the Ex
press says the county is good for 1000 ma
iority next fall. In Warren county, the
Union men carried all the townships bu
two. In Rushville, which for several year,
past has been in Democratic hands, q Wig
orous fight was made, and the Union mel
won it back BY 40 majority. In Allen county
where the Democrats had majority o
nearly $500 in 1868, in six townships re
ported by the Gazette, the Union men car
ried three, and in Fort Wayne the SS3 Dem
ocratic majority in 1862, the Union men, BY
a gallant fight. Gut down to 4l6. In Wash
-ington township, the Union men carried
their trustee BY Sc majority against 80 th'
other way in 1862, and 10 all the townshlp'
a Union gain is reported. In Hendricks
county, the Union men gain three townships
over the election last spring. These ar

was made. We do not report those wher

rat traps he was little startled to find the
veritable animal which he had branded

had removed the tail at Rochester in the
