The Plymouth Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1869-1941, 1870-10-13

Probably no feature of the recent
election has cast greater gloom over
our Radical friends hereabout, and in
>pired more good feeling among Demo
erats, than the election of Joseph Hen
ierson. Of st. Joseph county, over Col.
Thomas Sumner, of Marshall county, for
ONT representative. We had but little
tOpc previous 10 the election that the
democratic majority in Marshall would
- sufficient to cOunterbalanco the repub-
can majority in St. Joseph; and cur cnly
nope was thai MIR Henderson 5 personal
.'palarity would carry him through.
he first news from shat county was
hat the Republican majority was over
90, which made Henderson prospects
.ook very slim. even with his 100 extra
majority in Marshall county; but sub
scqueut dispatch said that Summers ma
1rity was less than 400," which placed
iiendersons election beyond doubt
This is not only gain, but one Of which
ne Democrats of the two counties. and
.uch Republicans as voted with them.
nay we'll feel proud Mr. Henderson
sill reT-asent the district to the credit
nd satisfaction of all.

election in Georgia would give the state
to the Democrats, it may be Judged what
sort Of an election law it is which prom
Uses Republican triumph. What sort
of an attorney general is it in whom such
a law finds favor!
1t is the design of the Radicals to
carry the elections in Georgia and Ala
bama by force and fraud, and Grant is
dong all he can do to aid this design by
sending troops to Alabama. In the lat
ter state, main issue in the canvass is
the repeal of law by which more than
$40, 600 900 is voted to railroad enter
prises. The carpet baggors and swim
dlers interested in bankrupting the state
have invoked the aid of the military,
and they fud the president willing
ally.
If money has not been paid him 70,
intcrferin. in the election in that state
he has singular inclination for prosti
tuting his Office to base purposes with
out hoping to gain by it.

This issue completes the campaign
and all who d. not renew
during the coming week, will be erased
from our books. Our regular subscrip-
ton list ought to be much larger than ii
-; and if the effort were only made on
the part of our friends, it might be
greatly increased. Not only is this in
crease due the publishers, who are aim
ing to make the paper creditable to the
-ounty, but it Is due the party it repre-
-ents that it be more generally circula-
ed. and thus be made more effective for
good. The time of the year is Row APP
when farmers and ali classes
f people have more time to devote to
reading; and not household in the
ounty should be without county pa
ger. The larger our subscription list is,
he better our paper can be made. In
Ter no circumstances should our list of
ash-paying subscribers be less than
coo. With little efozt on the part
{ our friends In the several townships
t the county our list may be MAIN
lined at that figure. Shall it be done?

The Cologne Gazette, referring to
the remarks of Journals on the attitude
of Russia; says the VIGOROUSLY friendly
feeling Of the emperor of Russia for
Prussia cannot be denied, but it is glad
IL rumored about that he is sick. In
this we may remark, by the way, as we
know by the unanimous testimony of
&c witnesses in st. Petersburg, there is
not one word Of truth. he emperor is
perfectly well, and is delighted, as his
presentation OF orders proves, at the
German victories At tue beginning #
the war. as We learn from trustw rthy
source. the emperor Alexander declared
in opposition to the military men who
surrounded him: The war is misfor-
rune, bat it has been provoked By
Franco, and the troops of my uncle will
give the French a fitting lesson. The
news Of the battle of Wocrth was greet
ed by the emperor as joyful intelligence
and the statement made in the papers is
confirmed that when. at the capitulation
of Sedan he proposed a toast in honor
of the event. he broke his glass, accord
ing to the ancient custom, that no one
might ever drink from it again. All
this as little accords with what is said
about the unfavorable feeling of Russia
for Prussia as the letter of the emperor
Alexander to the king. about which all
papers with French sympathies have re-
Gently said all sorts of fabulous things in
AL unfavorable sense. The inventors Ct
rumors about congresses must be content
to know that peace will be concluded
without them and those from whom
they receive their orders"

AsHlNGTON, ~ t. Z.
If any reliance can be placed in the
statements Of high officials, it seems
that some members of the cabinet do not
approye Of the policy introduced by the
president of removing all othccholders in
Missouri who conscientlously support
the revenue reform movement and that
pretty warm words have passed between
them in consequence of the president
having removed number Of good Re-
publ, ans in that state The strong
p:otectionists have urged upon the pre-
sident to pursue firm aud dec ded
course, and TO remove all offcehoders
who entertain opinions antagonistic to
the protective policy, while, on the 9TH
er hand, he has been informed by men,
bers of the cabinet, and others high IN
official position. that to pursue this
course would surely embittcr many Re
publcans against the party, who support
the administration, but wish the pr,vi-
lege Of voting against high protective
duties. Many politicians do not hesitate
to say that the course Of the president
would make wider the division already
existing in the Republican ranks in
Missouri. and in other parts of the
country, on the tariff question, which
will be sure to make itself felt in the
next presidential contest. The Demo
Gratis here generally feel well pleased at
the condition of affairs created by the
presidents interference, and say that rs

ton in favor of the protective party in
Missouri its defeat cannot be regarded
as other than triumph over the ad-

THE ELECTION.

Both Parties-DelnOCr0ts
Gain Two congressman.
THE Colored Troops Fought Nobiy,"

The election last Tuesday was nearer
a drawn game than in any general con-
test for several years. The Democrats
went into the contest with majorities
against them, and in addition had to
contend against the combined forces OF
Erica. The result is not at all dis
couraging, although the result is not
what was desired.
We give below the latest dispatches
received from Indianapolis, by which it
viii be seen that the result in the state
is in doubt, and in any event will DC
very close.
Gen. Packard's majority is reported
to be about 1900 in the district
There is a probability that Colerick
is elected in the Ninth district, over
Shanks. the present incumbent. 1t is
also reported that Gen Manson is elee-
ted in the Eighth distr.ct, over Gen
Wallace. which is also a gain

laporte county has gone Republican by
from 100 to 500
The result in Marshall county is given

Thos. J. Wood, our candidate for
Circuit prosecutor, writes US that he
carries Lake county by about 400 and
that the Republican state ticket will
have about the same majority Tom

small majority. The democrats gain on

by 400 majority. The F. urth district is sill

probably elected. There is democratic
gain on state senator in Howard and Carol

The Result.

though, with full vote, our majority
volid have been larger. Being. in the
nature of the case on the defensive in

{ PorIunity to make gains from the oppO-
