The October election Of 1868 was
one of unusual interest in Indiana. 1t
was geueraly conceded that the result
uf the contest would be close, aud so it
proved to be, the Republican candidate
Tor Governor only receiving little over
rine hundred majority. On the vote
for Congressmen, the Democrats OBJ
tained majority in the State of g.
612. In the fourth district Wilson,
Republican, was elected by four votes.
At this time | resided at Osceola, a
small village SIX miles from Elkhart
The latter was then thriving business
town, about the size Of the former vii
laee of Kingston 1t was also railroad
junction, and tie largest place in the
county, consequently it possessed great
er telegraphic facilities than any other
place within radius of twenty miles.
Being somewhat anxious to learn the
result that evening, saddled my horse,
after the polls had been closed, and rode
over to Elkhart. On arriving there, |
found an excited crowd surrounding
the telegraph office, commenting on the
returns which had just begun to come
in. There were three candidates rum
ming for Congress in this district, which
fact was undoubtedly the cause of the
pproar.
/ waited until | o'clock in the morn
ing, and the figures obtained up TO that
time on the vote for Governor were SO
nearly equal that it was evident the of
fetal returns only would tell the tale.
There was just enough light to make
darkness visible when | started for
home. While on the road 81 fell
among thieves" | stopped at little
country tavern in the woods about two
miles out, to get cigar; for when o
person is as hungry as was just then,
nothing except good square meal will
allay hunger like a cigar. Egen at that
late hour the bar room was filled with a
set of noisy roughs, aud liquor was being
dealt out to them with an unstinted
hand. I entered, leaving my horse
standing with several others in front OF
the tavern.
The cigar was purchased and lit, and
/ started to 90, when the proprietor of
the /" shebang," seeing that had just
come from Elkhart, asked me who was
elected Governor according to the latest
dispatches. / replied that the result
was yet in doubt, when suddenly thick
set, raseally looking fellow stepped up,
'"ce, and informed

The RObeson Investigation.
[From the Philadelphia Press. !


Mr.. Robeson's bearing throughout
this protracted investigation was admir-
able. He appeared as his own volun-
tary attorney, and did not, as is the GUS
tom, appoint another to represent him
We recollect no example like it, and
certainly none in which on assailed Of
ticer has shown more eoolness, courage,
s'eadiness and perseverance Oppressed
by the daily cares of his Office, he. at
tcnded Tor hours, aight after night !,
examining every witness, controverted
every charge, and We feel assured will
be sustained by the majority of the
committee, as he must be by every fair
minded man OF every party.
And now we trust we have had an
end to investigations. Here have been
ten or twelve committees mousing,
smelling; questioning. quarreIing,
which have been at work for months
and months, and what conspicuous,
striking. tangible fact has been proved
showing fraud or incapacity on the part
Of President Grant aud his Cabinet? !?
Certainly, if there were frauds, astound.
ing, gigantic, palpab'e, inconceivable,
as We have beea told tine and again,
the evidence would have been produced
long before this time. As it is, Gen
Grants administration grows whittier and
whittier with everv investigation
The fact that the investigation has
proceeded against Secretary Robeson is
our first source of congratulation. There
Is higher source 10 the circumstance
that the evidence shows a perfect ex-
oneration OF the Secretary from the
charges against him, as we'll as the
possession on his part of unusual ad-
minisiratiye qualities. There is not
only no evidence upon which to im>
peach Mr.. Robeson's integrity, but
nothing t" justify suspicion And the
examination finally dissolved into piti
full questions and answers AS TO how
mnch Mr.. Robson was worth and
whether he lived beyond his income,
and did he really send bricks to San
Francisco by way of Cape Horn. Who
really cares how much Mr.. Robeson is
worth ? Because mao Is Cabinet
Minister, must he become a social out
law Is it not rather presumption
that the elevation TO high office indicates
apparent qualities of honesty, capacity
and experience 1t would be the worst
commentary possible upon our institu-
tions If the appointment of man such
as Mr. Dana has described Mr.. Robcson
TO be were in any way probable. We
may look back with pride upon the
whole array Of Cabinet officers who have
served since the time of Washington,
aud find few instances where the incum-
bent was not man of honor aud capac-
ity. We dwell upon the fact as a cir
cumstance doing credit to our instItu-
tions. The examples of those who
served the State IN positions of trust
and honor, are many. Most of our pub.
lie men retired from Office poor, and
only few years have passed since a
great War Minister, who had controlled
the expenditures of thousands of mil-
lions of dollars, died in condition of
poverty, actually spending in the public
service the income he had amasscd at
the bar. We dare not think that pub
lie virtue and self denial have passed
from our statesmen when we remember
how Stanton and Rawlins lived aud
died.

LOVE- OF CAM behold men Of gener-

courses and | know what the end will be.
I see men sacrificing themselves for gain. -
| see men giving their time for mere money.
They do not care for the welfare Of the COM
munity. They have no sympathy for the
unfortunate classes--And yet they are men
who. before they were attacked by the de-
lirium Of avarice, had generous and noble
natures. know what will become Of them.
rbay grow up more and more avaricious
aud less and less manly. As their riches
increase, their manhood dies out. And |
see them forsaking one another. their old
companions who are not profitable. I soc
that, as they pile up treasures their gem
crosby diminishcs. There is fever Of
gain which man who is inspired to watch
can discern. And / see them at last lying
back in their bordering moments. and turn
ing over and over their money. Night
and day they live for money. And every
other thing is destroyed in them except the
love Of gain. They are utterly carried
away By ayarice. II had told them when
they began that they we're coming to this,
they would have said els thy servant

they we're then taking were steps by which
they would inevitably become misers.--
