Hurrah for ChilIicothe.

The Democrats Of Chillicothe have
done gloriously. They have carried each
all their candidates for
Council by large majorities, and on Mar
shal have carried the city by a majority
Of 500. Last spring the Democratic can
didate for Marshal was elected by 338
majority-being gain of 1872. This is
a tremendous majority for the Democrats
of Chillicothe to give. The Republicans
of the Legislature will please take no.
tice that Chillicothe does protest most
vigorously against the passage Of the
resolution designed to abolish all politi-
cal distinction in the State between
Whites and Blacks. We tender our con-
gratplations to the sterling Democracy Of
the Ancient Metropolis for the great good
work they did yesterday in behalf of cor
rect principles.

AMHonor to Newark!

There was an election in Newark on
Monday as was an election. The cham
pions of Revolutionary Radicalism and
Negro Suffrage, encountered a regular
Waterloo defeat. The City and Town
ship of Newark went Democratic ap-
preaching unanimity. In that city and
township the Democrats made gain Of
55l on the majority of last fall! This Is
tremendous resuit-a stirring result--a
result that will gladden. the hearts OF
Democrats all over the State. The Re-
publicans IN the Legislature will please
take notice that. the voters of Newark
City and Township have voted "No," with
an emphasis, on the proposition to strike
the word "White" out of the Constitution.
We call for three cheers for the Democ-
racy OF Newark.

The ENTHUSIASTICALLY Slaughter
by the Indians on the Upper Mis-
SOuri.The Garrison at Fit. BufOrd
Massacred--HerOic Bravery of
the Commanding Onicer.

WASHINGTON, April IA letter from
the wife Of distinguished army officer at
St. Louis, received here this morning,
confirms the report of the capture of Ft.
Buford, ,at the mouth of the Yellow Stone,
on the Upper Missouri. COL Rankin,
his wife, child, and the whole garrison
were slaughtered, in all about eighty
souls. 1t is due to the memory of Col.
Rankin to state that he had represented
fully four months, his inability to resist
a prolonged attack against the overwhel-
ming force the Indians brought against
him, and requested to be reinforced or
drawn into more defensible position
Private letters say that he anticipated his
fate, and made good his promises to his
friends, that he would defend his position
to the last man. His promise has been
verified. Private letters state that he re-
pulsed with his small force the attacks Of
from 1000 to 5000 Indians, killing 800
and wounding over 1000 before he was
overwhelmed. It is generally supposed
that COL Rankin shot his wife to prevent
her falling into the hands of the Indians
No possible blame can be attached to
Col. Rankin's memory for the fall Of the
post, as he had had many years expert
ence in the Indian country, and was an
officer Of great GOODNESS and discretion.
COL Rankin was born in Pennsylvania
and appointed to the army from Wash
ington Territory. His first entrance into
the service was on the 14th of May, 1861,
when he received captaincy in the 18th
infantry. He was nota graduate Of the
Military Academy. s

lgThe editor of the Pomeroy Hls-

Endorsement Of. Hon. T. A. Plants Ne

his issue of the 2sth ult, in column Of

thanked the editor and Mr.. Plants for de-
claring the same to the people Of this

feet Negro Equality, instead Of replying
in an honorable and manly manner,

Monday, the Democrats of this city
made most gallant fight They exceed
ed their expectations greatly. They have
swept the city as with political h1rri-
cane, leaving scarcely trace of Radical
ism. Confident The Radicals were Of
electing General Walcutt Mayor, and they
worked to this end with an energy and
persistency that under ordinary eircum-
stances would have given them victory,
but it awaited little. Democrats voted
for the General out Of regard for the
man, and not because they desired thereby
to indorse in any manner the execrable
principles he allowed the use of his name
to bolster up. Had Democrats not done
this the majority for the Democrat Mayor
would have been extraordinary. AS it is,
it is highly gratifying, showing unmistak-
ably that the Democracy of this city will
give about 1900 majority in the fall
The fruits of this victory is

to its striking out of existence ten State
