MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

The Democrat gets out its cannon--a
thing il never dii when a victory was
achieved by our boys in blue during the
great rebellion--and with its chanticleer
crows Justify over the result of the elcc-
ton in this County, claiming it as "a tri-
umphant victory for the Democracy
The Democrat certainly goes upon the
theory Of "small favors thankfully receiv-
cd" Contrasted with the facts in the
case, this Wanted Democratic victory
shrilks into insigniicance. In 1864. DR..
Berry's majority in this County was s55.
Now, Holmans majority is only go
gain of lis votes. Subtract from this
the illegal Fiunegan vote. and Holman's
majority would not exceed 700Aat the ut.
most. With fair election, and as good
a result in other Counties, Grover would
have been elected by handsome majority

THE ELECTION.

The Indianapolis Herald of the 18th
inst. thus alludes to the result of the cleo
ton in this State
Returns come in with provoking slow
ness, but enough is known to warrant the
assertion that we are beaten on the State
ticket by from five to ten thousand major
ity, and that the radicals will have work
ing majority In both branches of the Leg.
islature, thus insuring the election of o. p.
Morton as United States Senator, in place
of Henry s. Lane. We have elected Nib
lack, Kerr and Holman in the First, Sec-
ond and Fourth Districts. In the Sew.
enth District. it is probable that Claypool
has been defeated by small majority
In the Eighth District the vote has been
closer than in any other. 1t is probable
that Purdue is also beaten. Ortiz runs
considerably behind his ticket.
Bitter as is this defeat, we have the
proud consciousness Of having made
good fight of il, and Of having reduced
the radical majority in this State at least
one-salf We counsel the Democracy to
be of good cheer; to hold to the faith,
work increasingly, and watch and wait for
the good time coming. Truth is mighty,
and will eventually prevail. Within the
next two years the character Of radicalism,
with its infamous aims and purposes, will
DO more generally understood than at
present, and then will come such q revul-
sion Of feeling as will sweep the uuscru-
pulous demagogues who now control that
party from tho face Of the earth--politi-

Contemplate

SO far as we have been able to learn,
there was a general acquiescence, in this
County, in the division of the Election
Boards as agreed upon by the Union and
Democratic Central Committees. The In
spector at Cedar Grove, however, (Mr.
John p. Cooicy,) although he was aware
OF the agreement, and was advised as to
the selection Of Judge and Clerk as made
BY the Union party, placed two Democrat.
ie Judges on the Board, and refused TO
make any other arrangement We had
thought that Mr.. John I. Cooley was an
Honorable man, but after this exhibition
Of himself We beg leave to reverse our
opinion.

II is said that some benevolently dis
posed persons design to circulate a petit
ton in South Eastern Indiana for the
benefit Of Copperheads. The object Of the
petition will be to ask the Legislature of
Indiana to pass special act to prevent
miscegenation between persons of African
descent with Copperhcads, there being no
danger Of any other part of community
except Copperheads being seduced into So
aiL, political or nuptial equality with the
Blacks. white partners or noue," is what
they ask, aud We hope the prayer will be
answered.

THE ElEcTON-FACTS AND FIG
uRES.

An examination Of the late election re-
turns Of this County, and a comparison of
the same with the vote Of 1864, presents
some interesting facts. The vote of the
County is found 10 be increased BIT, Of
which Grover gains lo2 on Farquhar, and
Holman 2l5 on Berry. Holman gains
100 in Brookville, Cedar Grove, Laurel
and New Trenton, points at which the
principal Pinnegap Railroad vote was cast.
These facts demonstrate that the Union
men Of Franklin County rallied nObly to
the sap port of csii Grover, aAd that but
for the Finnegap vote Holman would have
gone out of this County on 4 majority re.
duced far below that Of Berry.

ing there were but few people about. The
wind, which had blown half n gale from
the eastward all night, had slightly abated

rious apprchensions. BY the time the FIRE

was enveloped in flames. The sappers

ly an hour, enabling the FIRE to make rap
i'd progress. No less than ten or twelve
houses were on FIRE, and lumber and wood.
en- sheds on all sides ignited.
BY half.past five eighty houses, all
wooden, were in blaze, the flames, driv-
en- by the wind, spreading in all direc-
tons. At $50 over 100 houses we're con
sumed. The fire by this time ran along
st. Joseph and Notre Dame streets, car.
rying every thing before ii. The church
of La Congregation stood in great dan
GER but sudden change Of the wind
saved it.
Crossing st. Waller street the fire soon
spread into st. Sauveur street. House at
ter house fell prey to the flames. 1t was
thought the houses eastward would be
saved, but the fire crept back, doing its
work Of destruction.
the district, lying between St. Sauveur and
Lower streets, running parallel with the
river, was barren waste. Having moth
ing to feed on, it distributed itself 10 op-
posite directions. The wind increasing
again, and blowing gusts from every di,
rection, three separate conAagrations we're
observable at once. st. Sauveur church,
Dunn's Soap and Candle factory. Ries'

in flames.
Along St. Waller street, toward the toll.
gate, and streets surrounding the General
Hospital aud Convent, another terrible fire
was raging with even greater fury, at the
back of Crown street, and along Prince
Edward, Jesuit and Ryland streets, the
flames creeping back, enveloping street az
ter street, despite almost superhuman Of
forts.
The confagration ceased about o'clock,
when there was nothing more for it to feed
on. Moderate computation places the
number Of houses destroyed at $780,.
The loss of real property is between So
SOC, 900 and S3,000,000 The number Of
persons rendered houselcss is estimated at
$4,000.
The body of a man, burned almost to q
crisp, was dragged out of house on st.
Waller street. 1t could not be recognized.
Sergeant Hughes, of the Royal Artil-
lery, was blown up and badly burned, tho
not dangerously. Lieut.. Douglas was Sc
verely hurt by the falling Of building.
Several seamen received contusions, but
none seriously that we could hear Of
Lieut. Benn. Of one of the regiments, had
bis arm broken by falling beam.
