ELECTIoN.-This is the lust paper we shall
issue before Election, us the Electors of the
State have the duty of voting to perform on
Tuesday next Upon the proper discharge Of
that duty, depends the decision Of the qucs-
ton. whether the State OF Ohio is to be gov
erned by continuation Of the policy that has
made her an honored member of the confed-
eracy, during the past ten or twelve years, and
cxemplifed her loyalty to the Government, in
its life or death struggle with treason, or, on
the other hand, her oscutcheon Is to be tarnish-
ed, and her name and fame, her welfare and
destiny turned over to the Keeping Of The cop
pcr-head democracy, who not only did what
they could. during the war to destroy the ma
ton, but who have shown reckless disregard
of the interests of the state by their lavish
squandering Of the public funds, and the in
crease of public burdens, for two years last
past. while holding majority of fhe Irgisla-
ture. 1t is within the easy power of the fif1y
to seventy five thousand republican majority
of the state to hold democracy level and not
only prevent reption Of the disgrace of the
two past years in that body, but to complete
the reconstruction work, so far as the passage
Of the 18th amendment, to adopt such laws as
will limit and restrain the extent of evil con-
templated, by some of those now on the stat
ute book, TO infuse economy into tho manage
ment Of State affairs, and to make contrast
that will be apparent and palpabie, between
democratic and republican state policy. Let
there be full vote, and all will be well, hut
let 10 or 20 republicans in each township neg
lect their duty, and stay away from the polls
while every mothers son of our enemies will
be out and deposit his vote, and connive al
frauds, naturalization and others-and the re.
suit may be either doubtful or against us. Let
every man, therefore, feel it his duty to vote
| but If any should be Indifferent enough to stay
away, let our committees look after them and
secure their attendance at the polls, and the
enemy will be triumphantly 6 gloriously routed
Again we say vote and the evening of Tues
day the 18th will bear witness to our fidelity
to loyalty-to principle and right

INDIANAPoLIs. OCTOBER !.

EXPLOSION OF BOILER ON THE STATE
FAIR GRoUNDs.-About4 4 o'clock ter
rible explosion occurred on the west side
of the Fair Grounds, caused by the burst
ing OF portable engin, from the Sumter
Machine Works, of that city, which had
been running 2 circular saw in a race
with some mill machines. The explosion
sounded like the discharge of heavy
piece of artillery, and scattered the
boiler about promiscuously, throwing
heavy pieces several hundred yards.
The scene that followed beggars des-
cription. At least twenty thousand
persons rushed to the scene of the disas.
ter, wild and frantic with fear and anx-
Iety for the safety of friends. Every
thing was in great confusion. However,
the remains of the killed were soon gath.
cred up, and the wounded removed to
the Surgical Institute and City Hospital,
where it was found that some twenty
persons had been killed outright, and
tbirty-six wounded, some of whom, it is
believed, can not survive.
Three horses were killed by pieces of
iron from the machinery, which is total
wreck, most of it being blown c,nsid-
erable distance in the cir.
Considering the crowd on the grounds
ard around the machinery, the small
numDcr Of killed and wounded is con-
sidered miracle. Numerous hair-breadth
escapes are related by those present.
Some of the victims were literally torn
to pieces, and the remains were collected
together from various parts Of the in
closure. The appearance OF the victims
was appalling, and could not be witness
ed by the stoutest heart without shud-
der. Many ladies in the immediate vicn.
ity of the explosion tainted, some Of whom
had to be removed from the grounds in
carriages.
Later accounts say that, as near as can
be asceitained, between fifty and sixty
persons were wounded.

THR OLDEST RELIC OF HUMANITY
The oldest relic of humanity sxtant is
the skeleton OF one of the earliest Pha-
raohs, incased in its original burial-robes,
and wonderfully perfect, considering its
age, which was deposited about eighteen
or twenty months ago in the British
Museum, and Is justly considered the
most valuable Of ITS archaeological treas
uros. The lid of the coffin which con-
tanned the royal mummy was inscribed
with the name of its occupant, Phareah
Mykerinus, who succeeded the heir OF
the builder OF tho Great Pyramid, about
ten centuries before Christ. The mon
arch whose crumbling bones and leathery
nteguments are now exciting the won
der-gazers in London reigned in Egypt
before Solomon was born, and only
about eleven centuries or so after MiE-
rain, the grandson of father Noah, and
the first OF the Pharaohs, had been car
ried to his fathers The tide-mark of the
deluge would scarcely have been oblit.
Grated when this man OF the early world
lived, moved, and had his being.

Mrs. Stanton, the distinguished woman's
rights woman, has thought Of a way by which
she hopes to overcome the prejudices Of the
editorial profession against the woman suffrage
movement. She is inviting the editors by turns
to breakfast, intending, by delicious coffee and
captivating talk, to seduce them into approval
of the project. This is decidedly smart in
Mrs. Stanton, for there is, perhaps, no way OF
fetching half starved Editor like that by
way Of his belly. These fellows will eat like
anacondas, and aie about as docile and harm
less when the torpor Is on.

THE TRIBUNE ON THE SITUATION
The Tribune on the 5th says: at has
been ascertained from authentic sources,
and may be definitely stated, that the
following are in substance the views en-
tained by the President, and sure to be
carried out by his administration, with
reference to the question involved in the
Euterpc case. The shipment of arms
and munitions of war to either party en-
gagged in the Cuban struggle is not pro-
hihited. These revolutionists have an
equal right to buy and ship arms with
the Spaniards 1t is upon the fitting out
of naval or military expedition that
the neutrality laws operate. 1t is an en-
tire mistake to suppose that United
States officers have ever been instructed
to stop the shipment of merchandise,
even though it be in the form OF articles
contraband OF war. The owner and
master of the vessel must in all cases
take his own risk. But if an expedition,
whether of armed men or armed vessels,
or Of vessel fitted out aud prepared
and intended for naval warfare, is started
from our ports, then question OF our
duty as neutrals or as n friendly power
arises, and, even ii we had acknowledged
the independence of Cuba, our duty and
our rule could be no different until we
had directly and publicly espoused one
side OF the quarrel by making war upon
the other. IL must he remembered tha,
we constantly bought arms of England
during the rebellion, and no one ques
toned the right Of Enslishmon to sci
to us or the contederacy. Blockade run
ners took their own risk of capture, bu
the Alabama was fitted out as a ship o
war to destroy our commerce. The Gu
ban Republicans must learn to draw thi
distinction before complaining of ou
conduct in this respect. As before re
marked, the recognition Of their indie
pendence will not alter the law"

THE water in the Sault Canal has increased
in depth so that vessels can generally float full
cargoes, it being now on the average eleven
feet eight inches. The heavy rains in the
Northwest, and especially on Lake Superior,
the past season, have been in some cases Of
great benefit to commerce. Preparations are
being made by the Superintendent, by order of
the Board Of Control, to replace the old towers
by new ones; also, to extend the lower pier at
the west end of the canal, and to remove a
portion of the lower inter soil. This, when
accomplished, will add TO the draft Of the
canal from six to eight inches.
A different effect has been produced in the
bay at Duluth as we learn from the Mnneso-
tidn. A new bar has been formed across the
channel, reducing the draft of water to eight
feet

PRIMARY ELECTIoNs-The action of the
people Of Geneva on this subject Is indicated
in the following circular, received by the Cen
tral Committee and published In the Times
and Sentinel of last week. At a meeting of
the Central Committee, on Saturday last, at
Jefferson, there being gentlemen present from
various parts of the county, It was deemed in
expedient to bring the matter before the electors
of the county at the approaching election, mas
much as but two or three towns had been
heard from on the subject, but to take time for
more general action, and for indicating such
action TO the Central Committee to be def.
nitely settled in the spring.
To the Republican Central Committee Of Aa.ta-
6ula County:
GENTLEMEN-The subscribers, Republican
voters of Ashtabula county, are opposed to the
present mode of selecting county officers, and
are deslrouS of adopting enc In which the
voice of the people can be heard in these i'm
portant matters. We believe that no system
which gives rise to such deep dissatisfaction
and wide. spread apathy, or which gives to the
tricksters and demagogues more power than Is
possessed by the most upright and capable
men, should longer be tolerated by an organ
ization as intelligent and powerful as the Re-
publican party of Ashtabula county, and we

A New IRON DIsCovERY.-We learn by the
Marquette Plain Dealer that S. G. Smith, ESQ.,,
of that place--who recently purchased the
Ehhu Strong farm in this place, and expects
eventually to make this his home--has discov.
cred a deposit of iron ore in the vicinity of
Marquette, which has awakened much interest
among iron men. The Plain Dealer says the
explorations are on tho summit of an extensive
level, and are made by sinking test-pits 150
feet in width and 300 in length At least n
dozen pits have been sunk, and al produced
ore.
There has been no outcrop of ore discovered
as yet, and the strippings on the explorations
average about six feet There is generally
found everything the ore about foot of mixed
rock, but broken mp and easily removed In
one or two Of the pits this rock was not found,
striking the ore Immediately on removing the
earth, but the impression is that the cap-rock
will largely prevail. The ore found Is hema-
tite, largely impregnated with lime. There
are visible to an ordinary observer three differ.
ent qualities of this ore-a fine black granular
hematite, (something new in this country, and
a puzzler to our minera1ogsts,) soft, yellow
hematite, with large percentage of lime, and
the common hard hematitc. The analysis oi
this ore is rs follows The first taken out con-
tanned 4S per cent. iron, Is per cent lime, and
4 per cent. silicious matter; down further the
same ore has analyzed Ga per cent. iron and Z
per cent. lime. Mr.. Smith is the veteran e1.
plorer of the iron region. He has spent the
better part of twenty summers in the woods
here, and has brought to light many valuable
discoveries. He is known as the discoverer
and pioneer Of the slver-lead district, and also
of valuable deposits of ore in the Mchigammi
region. His many years of travel, toll and
exposure are now likely to be well rewarded.

AN OUTRAGEOUS INSULT TO OUR COL
ORED SOLDIERS,
From the Boston Courier


We are informed by the daily press
that "the Indians of the plains will
not take scalps from the heads nf nnn""
soldiers killed IN battle"
Is not this fragrant violation of the
spirit of the civil rights bill, of the new
amendments to the Constitution, and
of the reconstruction policy of Con-
gress"
This is the crowning insult to our col
ored citizens.
Shall the red skins be allowed thus
to make distinctions on account of
race or color?
When the colored troops fight brave
ly, may those untaxed Indians scorn
their scalps. as being no trophy worth
the taking off?
This contemptuous treatment of the
black man by the red man is not to be
borne.
Senator Sumner must attend to this.
He must prepare resolutions.
He must illuminate speeches a
gainst the noble red man of the forest,
who, when on the war path, dares 10
show savage disrespect to wool!
He has abolished the word white
in the District of Columbia, let him
abolish the word "black" on the plains
Let him cause it to be enacted that
when the untaxed red-skin says
"Ugh, big Indian no scalp niggerH'
somebody shall shoot him on the spot.
1t is not because of the difficulty o.
taking off the colored mans scalp.
No such thing.
Indians scalp very short haired
white soldiers.
1t is their contempt for the negro az
an inferior race.
They must be taught better.
Here is missionary work to do.
And new stipulation should bs
made in all Indian treaties, that NJ
distinction of race or color shall bt
made with the scalping Enife.
The insult is too cutting.

A celebrated author once wrote: "a
French woman will love her husband
if he is either witty or clivalrous, a
German woman if he is constant and
faithful, Dutch woman if he does not
disturb her ease and comfort too much;
a Spanish woman if he wreaks terrible
vengeance on those who fall under
her displeasure an italian woman il
he is dreamy and poetical, Danish
woman if he thinks her native country
the fairest and happiest on earth, a
Russian woman if he holds all west
erners to be miserable barbarians; an
English woman if he is of the nobility
an American woman if-he has plenty
of money.
