ther, A. c. Clough, dated at Surprise VAL

resident Of this county. was killed. A band
of Indians having made raid into the Val.

head Of horses, Captain Munson, of Fort

fsend beins among the number. On the
morning of the 9th Townsend and five COM

PRouD OF Ir-At the late. Convention d
Southern Unionists, in Philadelphia, Fred.
Douglass was called on to make speech,
and remarked in the course of it " lie was
not in Philadelphia for the purpose of dis
playing himself, but to do his duty toward an
immense constituency-most muitifarious-
such as no other man in the Convention rep
resented. In the first place, he represented
the black race unmistakably-s plainly is
he marked by the curling of his hair and the
flatness of his nose. Then he represented the
white race nor can there be any mistake
about that either, for it was said he had the
blood of one of Maryland's early Governors
in his veins. Then he represented both
races connected, and be could say from per.
sonal experience that there could be no war
of races in one body"

The Elections.

Philadelphia, 1Oth.-At this hour it seems
probable that Geafy has 90, 900 majority, and
that 1s Union Congressman are elected. The
Union gains are-Henry L. Lake. in 10th
district, and John Covode. in 2lst district. !.
Philadelphia, 10th. -City-Geary, 51S12;
Clymer, 46,s43. One ward to hear from.
Cincinnati, 9th.-In this county the Union
ticket has 5000 majority. In the State ma
jority not less than 10000. Schenck has
1900 majority, Lester beats Pendleton by
500 majority. Hayes (Union) is reelected
by over 2OOO majority. Returns from the
State show large Republican gains
Columbus. (O.) Oct. 10, pa. M.-Union

majority. Congressional delegation is un-
changed, standing II Union to 2 Democrats.
indianapolis, 9th-The entire vote of this
city is $500. Union majority about 3,0OO

probable the Democrats have gained two
kCongressmen. Union men are confident of at
least 900 majority in the State, and ma
iorities in both branches of the Legislature
Colfax's majority is over 1000.
Chicago, 10th.-Returns from Iowa indi-
cate large Union gains. Majority in the

Chicago, 1lth.-The Philadelphia Ledger
publishes the following, dated Washington
Oct. 10th: The President has sent in to the
Attorney General the following questions,
and requested a response in writing:
lst. Is the present Congress composed of
members from Northern States alone-such
a Congress as the Constitution requires-or
is it an illegal and unconstitutional assem-.
blage?
Cd. Would existing circumstances justify
the President in sending his next annual
message to an Illegal and unconstitutional
assemblage pretending to be a Congress of
the United States?
! 3d. Does that clause in Section 5th of the
Constitution, which makes each House the
Judge of the election and qualifications of its
| own members, give to the present Congress
| the right to exclude the members from ten
States, or to impose dishonorable or uncon-
stitutional terms upon their admission?
| f. Does the Presidents oath of Office re-
quire him to enforce those provisions Of the
Constitution which give to each State an
equal right of representation in Congress?
5. What steps do the Constitution and bis
oath of Office require the President to take
in order to secure the assemblage of con
stitutional Congress?
