The defeat of the Greeleyized Democra-
cy on Tuesday seems now to be perfect
Waterloo. There is no comfort for them
even in the paradise of Indiana Democracy
the district of Voorhees,. The Tall Syca-
more of the Wabash is shelved
The cry of fraud, fraud, will''not set aside
such an overwhelming victory as we have
gained in Pennsylvania, for the triumph is
not only in Philadelphia, where frauds are
complained of, but all over the State.
The victory may be briefly summed up
as follows:
Hartranft carries Pennsylvania by thir-
ty-five thousand majority, and we gain
nine members of Congress. Ohio goes
Republican by about eighteen thou
sand majority, with probably the
loss of one Congressman. Indiana
elects Hendricks, thej great.champion of
Democracy, by only five hundred major
ity. Voorhees, and Manson lose their seats
in Congress, giving way to Hunter and
Cason, good, sound Republicans. We gain
four Congressman in the State.
This is glory enough for one day and
good cause for rejoicings.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: On Saturday,
the 5th, we had the three candidates for
Congress to give us a talk, or rather to give
one another talk, which they did to our
great amusement. Mr. Caldwell led of;
with much physical power.h being = well
developed man physically, some claim
to metal ability both natural and ac-
quired. Then he gave General Grant and
Congress a great amount of abuse (as did
Garrett) for taxing whisky to pay the debt
that he done what he could to bring us in
to. Isuppose it is because the consumer
pays the duty.
Mr. Thornburgh followed in a pleasant,
sharp speech, in which he took the skin
offin spots. By the time they get through
| think there will not be much left but
scab of Caldwell or Garrett.
Col. Garrett closed in a rampant speech,
in which he made some awful charges, and
told of some awful things he has done in
the army, in the Legislature and in Con-
gress Poor Garrett, he is TO be pitied; we
like him personally, but his head is too
small his eyes are too close together TO see
things right. Some of the leading Demo-
Gratis here say that Thornburgh will be
elected easily. Our town will do its part
by to to the peoples ticket.

Shooting Affair.

Maria Thornton, a clored woman, was
arrested on Sunday morning on the charge
of maliciously shooting at white man by
the name of Jones. She was kept in the
calaboose until Monday morning, when
she was brought before Esquire Jourol-
mon, stood trial, and was acquitted. The
evidence went TO prove that the man at
tempted to make hasty retreat with some
washing she had done for him without
paving her for it, when she took the pis-
tol, and not being her own, had no idea of
IFS being loaded, and used it only to fright
en- the man into paying her for her work,
when the pistol was accidentally discharg-
ed, the load going in another direction
from the prosecuting party. The evidence
cleared her of any intention of shooting
the party, and she was discharged,

THE wYTHEvILLE FAR.

WYTHEvILLE, VA, Oct. II, 1872.
The spirit of the Fair is pervading and
permeating the whole country.
The Wytheville Fair has just closed with
flying colors. The exhibition of Short
Horns was the finest ever witnessed in this
section, and the Virginians, you know,
are noted for this kind of stock. All the
other departments were well represented.
You may look for a good delegation to
the Eastern Division Fair. Some fast
stock will be on hand. c. w. Charlton,
confronted more than three thousand Vir-
ginians, and urged them to patronize your
Fair. He showed the wisdom of their do
ing so and in obedience to his suggestions
a number of gentlemen assured him they
would ship their stock next week.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION EAST.
Democrats DESERVING Greeley in New
York,

Democrats DESERVING Greeley in New
York.
The New York correspondent of the Gin
einnati I, Gazette, on the 9th said:
The Tam, ,lany managers held a secret
meeting tonight. 1t is understood that
they decided to con centrate all their efforts
on the State and local t. Elections, and leave
the Presidential question IL care Tor Itself.
The probability is that many or the Gree
ley speakers now in the field will be with
drawn, aud great economy shown in the
management of the rest of the canvass.
Many Democrats are hedging their bets on
the State of New York, and evidently fear
Kernan's defeat. Bets that Dix will be
the next Governor are freely offered, with
out takers. Phe large majority in Penn
,sylvania is evidently decisive of the fate of
New York, which is now considered sure
for the Republicans.
DEsERTERs COMING OVER.
Several clubs heretofore for Greeley and
Brown will hold meetings between now
and Saturday with view to coming out
for Grant. One club in the Eighteenth
and another in the Twentieth Ward chang
ed their colors tonight, and their MEM
bers predict that many others will follow
their example. The headquarters of the
Liberals and Democrats resemble underta-
ikers' shops, with light patronage, but
there has been great rejoicing at the Ke-
publican headquarters, Greeley men, gem
orally. give up the contest, and say there
is no use Of making further effort, except
for the sake of appearances.
Its Washington correspondent says:
The Greeley men here, without eXcep-
tion, give up all idea of success in Novem-
Der. The Democrats have been pretty
generally denouncing their i'll fortune and
the probable destruction that has come to
their party organization through its ac-
cepting Greeley. The Liberals, in all direc-
tions, have heard themselves classed as po-
litical confidence men, aud as having OBJ
tanned Democratic Endorsement and sup
port under false pretenses.

IT is truly touching to see the philosoph-
ical mood the October elections have left
the Greeley organs in. Here is Watterson, of
the Courier-Joundi, who sighs and says:
"The country will now have an opportunity
of seeing of what stuff the Liberals are made of
for it is adversely that tries the souls of men,"
The editors of some of the Greeley or
gans take more practical view of it-they
think it tries their pockets.

ANERoID POISONED.

"Aneroid," the noted racer of the Nasn-

premium, and was expected to take part
in the race to-day, but during the night he
was poisoned by some hired miscreant,
much to the disappointment of the
crowd in atten dance, who wished to wit
ness a contest between blooded stock. On
the other hand, there are some who be
lieve that Aneroid was not poisoned at all
but was founded. This matter pro and con
was the principal topic of conversation
during the day.

Beecher Tells How TO Preach.

Henry Ward Beecher is delivering a
course Of lectures OH Preaching to the
Yale Divinity School. He tells how he
preached his first effective sermon after
two years of unsatisfactory work:
=" When had lived at Indianapolis the
flrst year, / said: "There was a reason
why, when the apostles preached, they sue
ceeded, and will find it out if it is to be
found out" 1 took every single instance
IN the Record, where 1 could find one of
their sermons, and analysed it and asked
myself: What were the circumstances,
who were the people, what did they do pr
anu studied the sermons until got this
ldea That the apostles were accustomed
first to feel for ground on which the peo-
pie and they stood together; a common
ground where they could meet. Then
they heaped up large number of the par
t1culars of knowledge that belonged to
everybody; and when they had got that
knowledge, which everybody would admit,
placed in proper form before their minds,
then they brought it to bear upon them
with all their excited heart and feeling.
That was the first definite idea of taking
aim that had in my mind.

all know that your destiny, in the life that

are forming in this life; " and in that way
went on with mys"YOu all knows" un-

Kissing the POne,S Toe.

A Rome correspondent gives this &C.
count of a ceremony at st. Peters, that he
recently witnessed
The toe of st. Peter, or rather the brass
shoe protecting that part of the Apostles
foot which the pious long ago kissed away,
was in great demand. There was a con-
slant succession of people, before and after
the service, filing past the statue and pay
ing it the customary homage. They first
kissed the foot and then touched it with
their forehead, and some of them kissed it
again. The majority of these toe-wor-
shippers were of the lower classes, but
well-dressed men, and still more women,
also kissed and bowed and then hurried
on, doubtless much comfOrted by the trib-
ute they had paid. In the same quiet, or
DERBY manner in which they had entered
the congregation, left the church, got into
their vehicles or opened their umbrellas
and made for their respective homes. The
Pope is said to have been present on all
three days, invisible, in private gallery
behind lattice.
