Cur Gains IN Indiana.

The Democratic gains in Indiana are very
heavy, as compared with 1851 There is a
larger vote pollcd, and the increase, save in
one district (CoLFAX 81, is wholly on the
Conservative side. NIBLAcK, Democrat
in the First District, is returned by ., 200
maiority-a gain; KERR, Democrat, in the
Second District, has increased from 1873
to 1877. HUNTER, Republican, gets less
than 500, when his Radical predecessor had
over 500. JULIAN, in the Fifth District,
has his majority cut down from 7,lf5 to
about GOO. This is an enormous gain. III
the Sixth District CoBURN has only =, 200
against I, 9SS two years since. WAsuBuRNE,
Republican, in the Seventh District, is re-
ported to have made small increase.
0ETH, Republican, in the Eighth District,
has ouly 800 against / 49, two years since.
There Is no noticeable change in the other
districts We doubt if the Radicals will
have seven thousand majority in the Con
g:c>aional vote, againt twenty thousand

Sound Views from Republican Source

\ few days ago, in answer to question
from a correspondent, the New York
Ercaing lost SAID that it believed 'thc
country, in the condition in which it had
been left by the congress, to be in a highly
dangerous state" We see clearly" says
the i9st, that numberlcss and terrible
evils may, and inleed must, grow out Of a
continuance Of the extra constitutional and
irregular condition in which our national
nf2,rs ..utgin under the present system.
We are convinced tlat the evils we have to
fear from keeping the southern states
nearly one half the Union--in the coLl. on
of provinces, to be governed without being
represented, are far greater than any evils
which can possibly happen to us if those
states were at once admitted to representa-
ton
What the Ercniog Post wants, there
fore, and strenuously urges, is the innedi
ate admission Of southern members to their
seats in congress. Would you have

Death e Hon. John Van Buren,.

In our last week paper we briefly an
nounced the death of john VAN buren,,
who expired on the night of the 18th ult.,
II clock, on board the steamer Scotia,
two days before her arrival in New York.
JOHN VAN buren,, son Of MARTIN VAN
buren,, eth President If the United States,
was born at Hudson, \. Y, on the 18th OF
February, 1910, and vas therefore, at the
time Ct his death in his 5Ith year He
! received liberal education, graduating at
Yale college In 1923, at the early age OF
eighteen
After completing his college course,
Young VAN buren, studied law, first in
Albany with Mr. B. F. BUTLER, mot the
! Beast Butler of course and afterwards
/ in Kinderhook with Hon AARON NANDRR-
POOL, where he was subsequently admitted
/ 70 the bar.
/ II hen his father was minister to England
/ in 1881, lie was attached to the legation.
/ In February, 1915, lie was elected by the
| legislature of New York Attorney General
Of the state. After the expiration Of his
term, in I847, Mr. VAN buren, resumed
! the practice Of the law, and has since been
prominent member Of the bar in New
| York.
Politically, Mr. VAN BUREN was demo
crat until 1913, when, during the presidcn-
+ tial campaign Of that year, lie became
prominent in the free soil movement.
Daring the first years Of the war Mr. VAN
! buren, was known as an earnest war Demo
Graf, hut in 1861 he opposed FENToN and
advocated tie election Of SEYMOUR, Demo
cratic candidate for Governor otNew lo!k.
Attic time Of his death Nr. VAN buren,
was returning from tour in Scotland tol
the benefit Of his health, which had fOl
some time been pcrceptibly falling. Dur.
ing his tour he caught d severe cold, which
caused inflammation Of the Kidneys, and when
! he came on board the Scotia he was very

where he remained until Wednesday nom
ing. when he got up and walked about The
deck, contrary to the advice Of his medical
advisers. On retiring to his stateroom Mr.
Van buren, was seized with acute intlam-
nation Of the kidneys, and his suniering>
were intense. During this time he talked
! necessarily but iucohcrehtly, chiefly on
/ political affairs. On Saturday morning lie

Ea+ a PIT Iaa1-

Readers Of political papers which write
obituaries Of the Democratic party, would
do well to bear in mind the sound and SEN
sible views Of the Journal Of Commerce,
which says, in commenting upon tie recent
clcctions:
The smoke Of the contest has not
cleared away in Pennsylvania, Ohio, lndl-
ana, and Iowa, but enough is visible to see
clearly the same remarkable state Of affairs
which has been seen in the North for five
years The people are just about equally
divided on the greatest questions OF the day.
| There IS no such preponderance ii the
votes OF either party rs to indicate any
great and lasting majority. 1t is one Of the
most marvellous things in history that for so
| long time, from election to election, in the
| midst OF the utmost excitement, through
war, and peace following war, the votes OF
| the Immense governing population VI the
Northern States should remain just about
equally divided on the grandest questions
| ever submitted to the decision Of people.
/ Here are lessons for the world to learn IN
this state Of affairs. There are also lessons
for the country to learn.
1t is plain enough that the majority Of
|
ed 10 the course taken by Congress, and in
| the people Of the North, and all the pco-
pie Of the South, are agreed in this. On
the other hand, it is plain that the minori-
ty of the people, and a very decided minor
! ity at that. now rule, and will continue to
rule the country. 1t is hot rule Of ma
iority under which the inhabitants Of tie
| United States are to live.
Another fact is plain and ought to be dis,
tinctly seen and recognized henceforth. =
Neither the Republican nor the Democratic
party is dead. It has been very often said
that the Mission Of the Republican party
was accomplished Politicians have talked
about Tie dtJ.cctu nie9sJru Of that party,
and Ga1'neG t!lat a new party could be
/ formed out Of the Conservative portions Oh
the Old The lesson Of this week is, that
! the Republican party is not dead, but is
! firm, united and strong, and there is nc
such thing as Conservatism i'll it. =
The Democratic party is no more dead
than the Republican. The fires OF afh;ctiOn
have only warmed it, and the blows Of sue
ccssiye defeat have only welded it into a
more compact mass. 1t polls It's huge vote,
Just as heretofore, gaining some in one
! place, losing some in another, but always
I the same old party. II is arrant nonsense,
in tie face Of such election as this in Penn
sylyania, where Mr.. Clymcr polls one-hal!
the immense vote Of the State-it is arrant
nonsense, we say, for any man looking al
such fact TO talk Of the Democratic party
as dead

At the Industrial Exhibition in the Az
