The People Right.

We have never belonged to that
class of people who are ready to give
the country over % the devil when
ever an election goes wrong. It was
quite common with the Democracy In
times past to declare by their press
and orators, during a heated canvass,
that the prosperity and even the sta
bility of the Government rested upon
their success at that election. 1t was
freely proclaimed by Democrats in
the North during the year 1860, hat
we would have no country to love or
live for, if the Republicans succeeded.
The rebels were largely influenced to
make their insane attempt to break
up this Union by these declarations.
Our people have found out that the
country is greater than party. and that
they are independent of all parties
and all politicians. If they make
mistake in one election they know 1t
as soon as the politicians, and the
error is rectifed in the next. Under
the temporary depression caused by
military disasters, apathy took posses
session of the public mind In 1862,
and the Democracy were suffered to
enjoy q short lived triumph in a few
of the Northern States. But no
sooner did that party, presumiDg upon
success, reveal its plans, than 1t was
Indignantly hurled from power by the
people who had been deceived. We
have great faith In the people. The
mass of them are honest. There may
be exceptional localities where igno-
rance can be duped by demagogues,
but the general intelligence is sufi
Gent to correct this. This may not
be true of immense cities like New
York. but we believe that even
there the fabulous Democratic ma
iorities of past years have been owing
more to the scoundrelism of the
few than the ignorance of the many.
Lat educational facilities keep pace
with the increase of our population
and the interests of the nation will
always be safe in the hands Of the
A good sign of the times, which we
note with pleasure, is the perfect free

IS becoming a reality. In olden times
it was political heresy to differ with
the President, or the party caucus, or
Congressional Representative. To
day the humblest man may challenge |

Editors Journal:
Owing to the press Of other bust

you a letter last week. and perhaps
this will seem somewhat stale when
it reaches you. 1 never before
saw the streets of Cincinnati go
thronged with strange faces as they
were last week, but perhaps this was
more noticeable from the fact that
each one had badge or some kind Of
insignia emitting them to certain
privileges, and of course Singing

attraction. and that which has brought
out not only the majority of our citi.

Election Returns.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 13.-But very
few reliable returns have been receiv-
ed this morning, and the result on the
State ticket is still in doubt. The
vote is so close it will probably require

result. The result for Congress in
Che Fourth District is still doubtful.
The returns received to day are more
favorable to the election of Gooding
Democratic.

The prompt and unanimous passage
BY the House Of Representatives Of
the bill providing for sessions Of the
II, s. District Court at Evansville and
New Albany, is not having that iniu-
ence upon the Senate that is desira-
bic. We think we discover indiea-
tons on the part Of the Senate Judi
ciary Committee to strangle the bill.
This bill Is of vital Importance to our
city, and we trust that Senators Nor
ton and Pratt will give it their
personal attention until it becomes
the law Our large maritime business
is the occasion Of much litigation,
which is q source Of great annoyance
and Inconvenience under the present
arrangement of the courts. Very
frequently parties submit to bat
treatment and even fraud rather thar
incur the expense Of seeking justice
in n u. 5. Court some two hundred
miles ia the interior. We hope TIKI
Senate will pass the bill without an!
unnecessary delay.
In this connection We are disposed
TO compliment Messrs. Niblaek ant
Kerr for their zeal and success in get
ting the desired legislation through
