Kentucky Is 10 Spawn AGAIN.

A well known resident Of this city hns
given us the follo~ing account Of what he
heard IN Louisville, concerning the de-.
signs of the copperheads Of Kentucky TO
make another and more sweeping charge
upon the ballot boxes Of lodisDa than they
made NJ the State election OF October 18Th.
lie siates that ut the dinner table OF the
Louisville Hotel, gu Monday last the rebel
General Hood being one OF The party. aud
Colonel Evans, formerly Of the rebel
army, the principal talker. the latter
remarked that Kentucky had sent 10000
men into Indiana 10 vote for MIR Hen
bricks. That they could have sent more
il they had supposed they would be need
ed; and now that they know the nvmber
requisite to carry lndaua for Seymour,
they would seud enough TO accomplish 'ha,
object They could, be said. -pare 80 900
men from Kentucky aud then have enough
left AZ home.
Our informant, who bad before engaged
in the conversation, 1T this point inquired
OF Col. Il how they c"u d manage 10 vote
so many kentuckisns in Indiana? lie
replied that there was no difficulty in do
ing, ii, that the men would be sent 20
Democratic precincts where the Judges ct
the Courts aud the Magistrates are all
Democratic; that IL nov and then one ot
their voters should he arrested, he would
at the worst be fued but small amount.
aud while the attention Of Republicans
would be diverted by the arrest aud trial
of the detected party, the rest of them
would be doing their work at the ballot
box. I'VE intend" said be, ''to carry
Indiana for Seymour and Blair, at ali haz.
ards, aud we will do it,
There seemed to be no conceal ment
among Louisville Democrats Of what they
had done at our State election. or of their
purposes in regard TO the Presidential
election, but the matter was freely talked
of everywhere, as though perfectly legiti-
mate.
An official Of Floyd county, connected
with the Sheriff's Office also gave some in :
formation relative TO The guerrilla invasion
of that county Oh the 18th lie said that
many Keptuckians voted in Floyd, not
generally in New Albany, but freely in
the out townships. AT Que precinct not

votes we're cast than there were PERSONS
living ia il, counting men, women and
children.
We have every confidence in the gen
tlemsn from whom We derived this iDior-
nation, aud do not question the intention
OF the rebels OF Kentucky to take this State
by storm on November ID, il il 10 within
their power to do so. .t
We have defeated one rebel raid on our
ballot boxes, and il our friends come up
TO the work in their strength, We shall
defeat the next. Ii is sad commentary
on the character Of the Democratic leaders
of this State, that they make themselves
parties to a wholesale violation OF our
election laws; but they act no wore than
the Democrats Of Pennsylvania aud New
York, who are guilty Of more covert but
equally criminal frauds.
In fact, the Democratic party is little
less than an organized conspiracy against
the laws and against the peace aud repose
of society. It's snpihiIa'ion will be y
more benefcent victory for the country
than the most brilliant triumph il has ey-
er gained upon the battle field. aud we
fondly hope that the third day Of
November, 1868, will give the finishing
blow 10 this party Of corruption. iniamy
