tReaIsfrK Law

The political contest niour city on
Tuesday, demonstrated the entire ina,
hility Of Union men 10 prevent fraud
ulent voting under oir present State
law. With the most unblushing ina!
pudence Copperhead politicians
brought notorious rebels to the polls
and insisted on having them sworn
and in every instance their votes were
sworn Ia, in spite of the protests OF
Union challengers. 1t seemed to, be
awastei of time to gchallenge votes at
all, for the reply to- every challenge
was, swear him." swear him, " and
under our law, the, oath Iof the voter
compelled the aoceptaneeiof his vote.
I'VE know not how the next legisla
ture will stand, but we do know that
unless an efficient Registry law is en-
acted, the elections in this Stale win
henceforth amount to the veriest
farce-a simple contest as to which
party can practice the most frauds. =
In Pennsylvania aud Ohio, where
the election laws are. most stringent,
land illegal voting is liable to prompt
punishment ON the spot, the Union
men on Tuesday gained a great VIC
tory. 1t is only in Indiana, where
our law seems to have been prepared
for the purpose of encouraging and
protecting frauds, have we failed to
make large gains. Should the next
Legislature be Republican, we insist
that one of the first measures to be act
ed upon will be law for the preserva-
ton of the purity of the ballot box.
Give us a thorough and practical
registry law, and Vanderburgh Coun-
ty will stand good for majority of
from five to seven hundred. a III
We trust the Union papers of the
State will speak out on this import
ant subject, and compel the attention
of the Legislature to the necessity of
law for the protection of the rights
of citizens, and see that they are not
'trampled under foot by the importa-
ton of .mercenaries without character
and reckless as to the results of their
criminal conduct. ..t -.te.ltf q

Col. John RheInlander.

We regret TO announce the defeat
of this gentleman in the contest for
Treasurer of Vanderburgh County
While the rest of the Union county
ticket has been elected by hand
some majority, I1UNKENHEIMER, the
candidate of the Johnsonites, has
been elected Treasurer. While we
regard the result as public misfor-
tune, it is due to Col. RHEINLANDER
to say that it was not brought about
BY any want of public confidence in
him, nor can itlbe construed as a con-
domination of his official action as
Treasurer, for it is the general voice
that he has made faithful and hon
est officer, But LUNKENHEIMER is
professional politician, for fifteen
years an atache of the Court House,
and thoroughly versed in the
science of manipulating the people
He has been preparing and arranging
matters for this race for two years,
and had by means, some of which
are known and others yet secret, sue
ceeded in enl;Sting in his behalf men
who claimed to be Republicans in
principle; and these men, having con-
siderable influence, especially among
the German Republicans, have used
it for the benefit Of LUNKENHEIMER,
and to the injury of the party and the

We may allude to this subject again.
But we only commenced this article
to vindieate Col. RHEINLANDER from
any false impressions which the pub
lie might form from the result Of the
contest, He is brave and gallant
soldier, who has done his country no
Bile service in the field, and who has
only suffered defeat at the hands Of
rebel sympathisers at home, not reb-
els in arms-upon these he never
turned his back. He still has the
confidence of all true Union men and
faithful Republicans, whose respect
he has never forfeited. If ~

The Result in Yander I,llI

We will not be able to publish

county till our next issue, The Union
majority, upon the unofficial reports,
is two hundred and thirty-eight (238)

81 as compared with the vote of 1864.
There is nothing in this which should
cause any other than a feeling Of sat
isfaction on the part of Union men.
1t is true, upon our polling of the
county, we expected with confidence a
somewhat more favorable result. But
when we remember with what indus
try the Copperheads brought up the
imported voters and them sworn
through with Simpunitysr theS rebels
aud deserters who had-not been
estimated, aud the boiling Republi,
cans on the Copperhead Treasurer

Among the passengers on the i'll

whose loss we Published yesterday
morning, was WILLIAM PREsToN
Dixon, nephew of Mr.. GEORGE
,PREsToN, of our city. Young DIXON
was the only surviving member of his

raj years ago. He was for some time
q resident of our city. In June last
he graduated at West Point with dis
tinguished honor. He had been or

from New Orleans says there is but
little or no hope of his escape, The

metallic life boat was turned over
some fifteen times, some of its in
mates being washed away every time
it was capsized, The captain of the
Star was washed away about the

1t is sad for young man, with such
brilliant prospects before him, to be

The Famine In India.

The famine reported in India is no
isolated or mysterious dispensation of
Providence, 1t is one Of a series Of
similar events which have carried
desolation through that unhappy
country at near intervals since it came

the same causes which have led to the
depopulation of that country by the
expectation of coolies, the Hindoo'
natives. These deportations Of the

British policy of breaking down the

During this period, for a thousand
years, India knew no famines and her

The Result In the District

We shave tolerably reliable reports
from all the counties this morning,
except Pike, Martin, and Dahois..
Estimating Dubois at the same rate
as 1854, and Union gain in Pike of
100, and Martin of 80, which is not
as much as the average gains as far as
heard from, the District will give
NIBLAcK a majority of 1860. We
may be deceived, but we cannot be-
lieVe that his majority will reach 800,
and there is as great a probability
that it may go as low as 1000. Ger
tain gentlemen of the Copperhead
persuasion of Evansville, may yet be
made to feel the effects of the election
in more ways than one, The coun-
ties, as far as reported. have done
we'll, making uniform Union gains in
all except Vanderburgh, where we
lose 81 votes, which is better than we
expected, in view of the large impor-
tations, rebels, deserters, and treach:
