tFrom the sanlusky Rcgistcr.l
Saturday Night in Tif6n.

Tho last pom was sung over the
grave of the dcfuuct Democracy Of
the Ninth District, in a grand celc-
bration in honor of our glorious vic
tory, at Tiiliu, Saturday evening. 1t
was expected that a special train of
several cars would run out from San.
dusky, but this arrangement could
not be satishctorially effected. Being
disappointed in the general wish to
GO in force. about forty of our live
Republicans, taking the Great West
orn Band left on the Findlay train
to join hands with our neighbors in
mutual congratulations upon the re-
suit Of our united efforts in the great
struggle for human rights They
reached TiiFin little before seven
and were met at the depot by the
Grant Battalion and many citizens,
greeted by the familiar music Of a
battery of artillery. The column was
formed, and the line of march led us
through some splendidly illuminated d
streets, and the scene along the en-
tire route was one of beauty, splendor
and animation, rarely witnessed out
side our largest cities. Nearly every
house was finely illuminated aud
tustefully adorned, aud many we're
georgeously decorated. AS we passed
by the hundreds of expressive Re-
publican notices, saw the whole city
ablaze with Republican light, and
were everywhere greeted by patriotic
ladies, We began to doubt that we
were marching through Democratic
city. Large aud enthusiastic crowds
thronged the streets aud sidewalks
the whole distance, aud kept up a
constant fusilade of Roman candles,
rockets and other fire. works.
The greatest good feeling and en-
thusiasm prevailed among all, only
one brightest son of the "Jim Of the
say" could pluck up blood enough to
howl "Saymoore," and a thousand
voices echoed back PEACE After
parading several of the principal
streets we marched to the City Hall,
where to our astonishment, as we'll
as JOY, the most elegant and bounte-
Gus repast spread before us that we
ever saw on any public;Occa.ion. The
tables were splendidly arranged and
literally loaded down with all the
substantials Of life, as we'll as every
delicacy which the most exaoting
epicure could crave. The patriotic
and public.spirited ladies of Tifin,
who were on hand to attend every
want Of the vast multitude, deserve
the highest encomiums that can be
bestowed upon them, not only for
the grand supper which they so
handsomely furnished us, but for the
taste, delicacy aud refinement dis
played in the decoration of the hall,
arrangement Of the tables, and gen.
eral conduct of the whole affair
After supper three hearty cheers
were proposed for the ladies ofTiffiu,
and all adjourned to the Court
House square, where Generals Glib
son and Lee delivered short aud con :
gratulatory speeches, which were re-
ceived with rounds of applause, AZ
ter the speeches the Saudusky
delegation we're treated to another
surprise in the shape of an oyster
and champagne supper, by the bust
ness men of Tifiin. The hospitality
of the people seemed to be unbound
ed; every one appeared anxious to ou'-
do his neighbor in acts OF liberality
and kindness. This was one of the
pleasautest affairs we ever saw and
was characterized by the same feel
ing of cordiality manifested through
out the evening. We venture to say
that there never was a pleasanter
evening spent by those present.
Many excellent tOasts we're pro
posed and heartily responded to.
We trust the era of good feeling
now existing between Seneca and
Erie counties may last and prove
alike beneficial to each.
On tho whole this jolli6cation was
the pleasantest event Of the cam
paign, for while VIC only met to oels-
brate victories won in the past, we
parted with an acquaintance, unity
Of purpose, and feeling Of mutual
confidence which guarantees greater
vie tories in the future.

State. Allowing that the remaining
