Ir is now conceded that the Democrats
have carried the State of Indiana, electing
their entire State ticket by majorities rang
ing from t,ro to four thousand, as we'll as
securing a decided majority on joint ball

certain the election of T. L. Hendricks to

Morton, one Ct the present Senators from
that State, was lately appointed Minister

he resigns, then his place in the Senate

DecldcdIy CooI for woodruff.

The "Old Captain complains of the
manner in which the Chairman of the
Democratic County Committee conducted
the campaign We presume Mr.. Johns
ston did net consult H. D. Woodruff,
nor any other opponent of the Democrat
ic ticket, as to the best manner of achiev-
ing the glorious Democratic triumph
which has been won. Mr.. Johnston can
pay Woodruff SIS for every Democrat
north of the Jurisdiction of the District
Court that voted for Morrell, if Wood
ruff will pay him as many cents for every
Democratic vote given for Morrell within
said district, and make email fortune by
the operation.
But Democrats from Ebensburg, he
says, circulated ''the regular Democratic
ticket, headed by Daniel j. Morrell for
Congress" II go, it il exceedingly fortu-
! nate that no Democrats in Northern Cam
bria voted any such ticket. But some
| Republicans did vote for D. j. AIorrell
and the whole Democratic county ticket !
And we are glad of it. The Democrat
convinced Republicans that Woodruff was
a better Democrat than Rose, and OF
course they would vote for him.
But no meetings were called for the
benef; Of Mr.. Speer. Woodruff well

Congress was advocated by each and al
the speakers Every meeting that would
have been attended by Mr.. Speer woult
have been an additional pretext for voting
against him, as some speaker at ever,
meeting discussed the removal farce,
being a necessary ingredient in the cam
paign. Thus the conduct of Woodruff
and his contieres bapishcd Mr Speer iron
the county, and the people were denie

TKE DEATH OF LEE.-Despatches from
the South tell of profound sorrow for the
death of Gen. Robert E. Lee. In the vari-
GUS cities emblems of mourning are displayed
and flags baf-masted. Business is suspend
ed and meetings are held in respect to the
memory of the deceased. At Richmond, on
Thursday. Gev. Walker sent message to
the Virginia Legislature. formally announ-
cling the death of Gen. Lee, paying high
tribute to his personal character, aud su9-
gesting that the intermeut of his remains in
the grounds owned by the State at Holly
wood Cemetery be solicited After the read
ing of the message the Legislature unani-
mously passed joint resolution, expressing
their sorrow, and requesting that the body
be Inferred at Hollywood. a joint commit
tee was appointed to go to Lexington to
escort the remains to Richmond, should the
request be granted. The Legislature then
adjourned. The Georgia Legislature also
adjourned over to attend the funeral on Sat-
urday last, at noon. Should the request of
the authorities not be acce6ed to, the body
will be placed in a vault beneath the College
Chapel at Lexington. 1t appears that du-
ling the earlier stages of General Lees ill.,
ness his mind occasionally wandered, revert
ing TO the army. He at one time ordered
his tent to be struck. aud at another desired
that "Hill should be sent for''

president GRANT. says tho N Y.
World, has removed Major VIM. Whist
from the Office of Land Agent in Boon
vile, Missouri, because he has an opinion
of his own as TO who would make the
best Governor of the State in which he
lives. This Mr.. Grant can't stand. He
has no opinion himself on this subject, or
any subject connected with politics but
he hates Senator Schurz and everybody
else who has an opinion. He cannot de-
capitate Senator Schurz, so he makes faces
at and chops off the heads of all officials
who initiate Senator Schurz by having an
opinion and expressing it.

One of the most gratifying results of
the late election is the defeat, by a ma
jority of lS, of that unparalleled dema>
gogue, John Cessna, in the Bedford
Congressional district, by b. +. Meyers.
JOHN Cessna, as member of the Com
miitee on Elections, was responsible,
more than any other man, for refusing his
seat 10 Henry D. Foster. The people
treasured up the outrage, and now Cessna
has been repudiated in a district which
contained not less than 700 ncgro votes,
while Gen. Foster has been elected by a
majority of over 700. Thus it Is that
time makes all things even.

A CHARACTERISTIC INCIDENT-Among the
many striking incidents Of the late flood in
Virginia is one related by FIuvanDa coun-
ty, Virginia. correspondent of the Richmond
Whig, which we have already published, of
the attempt Of the three heroic white citi-
zeDs Of Fluyanna to rescne colured ferry
man and his wife at the ferry house at the
junctuTe of the James and Rivanna rivers.
In making the attempt these three brave
men, by name Davis. Fuqua and Agee, the
latter youth. lost their noble lives The
incident illustrates not only the self-sacrifi-
cling courage of a generous and brave people,
but the traditional friendship of Southern
whites TO the coIored race. 1t is an indica-
ton Of genuine Southern sentiment in that
regard much more reliable than the inven-
tions of the manufacturers of Southern outra-
ges- baltimore Sun.

LETTER FROM PoPE PIUs.-The follow
ing was sent by the Pope to Gen Kanzler
on the evening before the Italian troops
entered the city of Rome:
GENERAL: Now that grand sacrifice, as
well as the most enormous injustice is about
to be communications that the troops of
Catholic King. without even the semblance
of motive, are beseigjng the capital of the
Catholic world, l feel the immediate neces-
sity of thanking you, general, and all our
troops for the generous conduct which you
have shown hitherto, for the affection of
which you have given proof to the Holy See,
and for your readiness to devote youreelf
solely to the defense Of this metropolis s.
Let these lines remain as a solemn document
to certify the diciplne, loyalty. and valor of
the troops which have been il the service of
the Holy Sec. As for the duration Of the
defense, it is my duty to direct that it shall
consist solely of protest setting forth the
violence used, and of nothing further that
is to say, that as soon as the breach shall be
opened negotiations shall be entered into for
the surrender of the town. At a moment
when the whole of Europe depIores the very
victims Of war between two powerful ma
tious. it should never be said that the Vicar
of Jesus Christ, although unjustly assaied
bad ever consented to a great effusion Of
blood. Our cause is that of Gcd, and in
Him we place our whole confidence.
bless you from my beart-you, General,
and all our troops.
