INDIANA. ILLINOIS AND THE NORTH
means something more
than its fifteen electoral votes. It is q
sign. It tells OF the States West of it
of the temper of the great Northwest.
Ohio, which is just East of it, partook
the feeling. There the Liberals made
grand accessions. For the first time,
they carried the great city of Cincinnati,
and made vital inroads upon Cleveland
and the Western reserve. BY the con-
cession of "Grant's own," the New York
Times, if the Democrats in the central
portion Of the State had stood firm to
the cause the Liberals would have swept
the State. That paper comedies that
more Democrats stood neutral or voted
against the Liberal ticket than there
we're Liberals in the State. Yhe Gin
cinnati Inquirer informs us that these
and thousands Of others, Republicans,
will be found ralIying to the Liberal
standard in November. The fight is
just beginning, says that paper.

Don's FORGET.

AT the election, to-day, will be sub
mitted to the vote of the people the
amendment to the Constitution prohi-
biting further increase of the public
debt of the State by tho Legislature.
That citizen will fail in his duty who
does not come forward and record his
vote in favor of the amendment. Shorn
of its power to contract debts against
the State, the General Assembly will be
comparatively harmless, and the great
lever of corruption aud venality de-
stroyed.
If you vote for nothing else, vote eyes

WIN wo Lose our Opportunity.

VIII W . 3LOBo CuE opportunity
There is now but little, if any, reason
to doubt that moderately strong white
vote will secure the defeat of Franklin
J. Moses and the ring. It is almost too
late to effect any good, inasmuch rs the
vast majority of our readers will have
voted or have failed to vote before this
reaches them; but we cannot refrain
from saying word more. Additional
reflection but convinces us the moro
surely that there has never before been,
nor perhaps will there ever be again,
such glorious opportunity offered us to
strike death-blow to the ring and re-
deem our State. The reform movement
in 1870 did not hold forth better pro-
.mises, if as good, as does the success of
the Boilers in the present election. We
would, perhaps, have got more good
men il Office in 1870, but the reform
would not have been established on SO
firm basis as it will be, should the
regular Radical ticket be routed today.
Once free the colored people from the
fear OF the party lash, and there will be
no difficulty in the future to secure their
alliance with their white fellow.citizens,
in placing honest men in Office. But, if
Moses is reelected, and the power of
party conventions re.established and con-
frmed, there is no hope for us, save in
revolutions; for the same corrupt men
will control the conventions, as they
have done heretofore. and we will have
none but thieves in the most important
Offices.

ONE REoRu1r Losr.-The negro man
who was drowned here, last Saturday
evening, in attempting to got on the Bal
timore boat, and whose body was reco-
vered Sunday, had in his pocket, when
found, a through ticket for Philadelphia
aud q considerable amount of money,
and also letter directing him to report
to the Republican headquarters in that
city. giving the name of tho street and
number. He was one of tho recruits
whom tho Radicals have been sending
up there to carry the election; but his
accidental death put stop to his fradu.

was probably one Of the 162. 900, and a

Virginia Radicals to help swell their
number in Pennsylvania.

like him, have striven to enlist the CO.

political element in this campaign, is be.
ginning to bring forth it's legitimate
fruit In Cincinnati, there are mapv

excited between them and tho Democrats
has evidently been intense. This ami
mostly, it appears, last night, broke out
into serious riot, in which pistols were
freely used, and several persons were Sc
rloue y, if not fatally, injured. It is i'm
possible to say at present how the lament
able affair commenced, or which party
was most to blame for the collision. Our
special despatch lays the responsibility
upon the negroes, but, however this may
be, the moral is the same. The affray
shows the evil effect of exciting a preju-
! dice of race as an element in o political
campaign, and no ono can resist the ap-
prehension that, if the policy pursued
by the Boutwell, orators in the present
election is to prevail in the future, the
riot We now chronicle will only be the
precursor of yet more serious and fatal
disturbances.-Ne,o York Herald.

Osceola, by party Of whites on guard,
one ball passing through the pilot-houso,

were fred by mistake, the party suppos-
ing her to be another boat, bringing up
recruits for Fitzpatrick's party. She
then passed Osceola without landing,
and went to Bowers, eight miles above,
where she found a number of families
from the neighborhood collected on the
river bank, around large fire, having
fled from the negroes, who were reported
as having Threatened to burn every house
and outrage every white woman in the
vicinity. They were protected by few
armed men; and, leaving them, the
Celeste passed over to the Tennessee
side for assistance, but got none, and on
going back to Osceola found it in the
possession of the whites, and learned
that on the day previous o fight had oc-
Cured between Fitzpatrick's party, num-

formation from another source says the
origin of tho fight was in the attempted
arrest of q dozen armed blacks by con-
stable and posse. The negroes were
ordered to surrender their arms, which
they refused TO do, at the same time

with the result as stated above.
