ernor The Evening Bulletin says "the
dsfsat Of Buckelew is almost forgotten in
view of the defeat of Forney. Curtin, and
Mcclure, and we rejoice over their dis
comfiture because it is the triumph OF
right over wrong, of truth over calumny.
They deserve all their shame. An honor
able foe can be beaten, forgiven and re-
stored. But for guerrillas like these, who
have bounded down the good name OF
brave soldier like John +. Hartranft. there
is but one Just fate. They have made their
hwh bed; let them lie in it. We propose
10 speak boldly and warmly on this sub
iect. We have maintained the cause OF
Sen. Hartranft,9 because we know that it
was righteous cause. We have helped
TO win this great victory for Hartranft and
Grant, and we have the right to say now
and here, that we want no help in No
yember from the men who deserted us in
October We protest in the name of the
sworkingmen of the republican party, in
advance, against any reorganization Of
John w. .Forney or Gov. Curtin advocates
OF President Grant in the remaining cam
,paign.is They would have beaten him yes
teraay if they could. We do not want
their services now, and We demand, in
the Nance of the thousands whom we know
thai we represent. that no republican COM
mittee, national, State or local, shall per-
nit these men to speak for US anywhere
in pretended support of the national tick
ct, whose success we ensured yesterday.
We will fight 1t out on Octobers lines and
under October's banners, and with Octo-
-ber,s leaders Others may vote for Grant
ior.not as they please. 1t is only those
who voted for him yesterday that have
any right to enter into his coming til.

A special from Washington in the New
York Herald Of the 9th says. ''The Pres
.ident to-day was overwhelmed with con-
+Rrntulations. The faces Of the govern
sment officials were radiant with smiles,
and hands were made warm by frequent
shaking. Secretary Boutwell, watched
the gold market and rejoiced in the decline,
being confident that had the result of the
election been otherwise, gold would have
gone up. Secretary Robson left last
night for his New Jersey home, to finish
the canvass in that State. Veteran rear
8 admirals. commodores and captains, how
ever, called at the Executive Mansion and
mingled their good will with that of the
head of the War Department, General
Sherman, and other army notables. Amid
the scene came Colonel John S. Mosby,
whose faith in the fitness of things led
him to assure the President that the Moth
er of States would in November bless the
republican candidate with her electoral
vote. He was certain the tidal wave
: would cross the Potomac, if not the Ohio.
The White House had an air of general
amnesty about it. The serious look which
comes from suspense had disappeared.
The only sombre objects under the new
roof were the portraits Of Presidents Polk
and Pierce, which the usher-whose term
Of service is likely to be renewed-char-
itably attributed to the bad light in which
they hung. In the departments the spirit
was the same. Inquiries came thick and
fast, "what is the news from Indiana p
Have you heard anything more from

vania?' No one here doubts now how
