DELAWARE EtEcT,oN

There was an election in Della
ware on Tuesday of last week for
some local officers, in which the Re-
publicans made large and unexpect-
ed gains. Party lines are never
tightly drawn in these contests, but
in State like Delaware the Repub.
licans are not likely to. get much
they. DO not win by hard work. The
Democrats lof Delaware are no,
much given to voting for Republi.
cans cut of mere courtesy. When
therefore we hear of the Republi.
cans electing their Assessors and
Inspectors and Road Commissioners
in many of the "tHnndreds," we fee
justified in predicting that the close
Democratic corporation which has
had a monopoly of the State Gov.
ernment Of Delaware for so many
years is about to be dissolved. We
scarcely expect Grant and Wilson
to carry the State, but stranger
things have happened. .aair7f ID.

BEGGING FOR VOTES.

Its indeed a pitiful spectacle,
when a confessedly great man,
occupying such an exalted posi-
ton before the American people
as does Horace Greeley, gets
down upon his marrow bones be-
fore a crowd and beseeches them
to vote for, him His renowned
philosophy was greatly of this
indiscretion on Wednesday eve
ming of last. week at Sandusky.
The closing sentence of his
speech was perhaps the most re-
markahls ever uttered by a Pres
idential candidate 4: "If you are
with me, please say SO by your
votes!" How great a contrast
to President Grant who would

sol THE OUTLOOK

New Hampshire, Connecticut
Rhode island, Oregon, North Caro-
lima, Vermont and Maine, have each
in turn spurned the Confederate
movement, and repudiated the Gree
ley conspiracy. Even in Democrat
Kentucky Tennessee and Wes1
Virginia, the Republican cause ha:
made substantial and marked ad.
vancement. Delaware, too, where
Bourbonism is as indigenous to the
soil as its peaches, is fast outgrow-
ing the fallacies and prejudices Of its
past, and ranging itself side by side
with the liberty loving and preserv.
ing States. ''

TEXANS AND MExIcANs.

The Texans have commenced
in earnest their retaliation upon
the Mexicans for the outlaws who
invade Texas, steal cattle and muir
der inoffensive citizens. A dis
patch from San Antonio reports
that party of Texans pursued a
band of Mexican cattle thieves into
Mexico and attacked them at New
Town. Two Texans and several
Mexicans were killed, and the Alcal-
de's house was fired and burned,
the Alcalde falling victim to the
flames. If the Mexicans persist in
thievery and murder then they must
expect hereafter that the Texans
will fully carry out the law Of reta-
liation upon them for their crimes.

THE FEELING IN CALIFORNIA.

The San Francisco Chronicle Of
the 2Sth ult., says that large mum
bers of Democrats throughout Call
fornia have determined not to go to
the polls and even in the heaviest
Democratic counties the detection
is so great as to give the Republi-
cans the greatest hopes of carrying
the Democratic strongholds. The
California Republicans are better
organized than ever before and the
result in that State cannot be doubt
ed-her twelve electoral votes will
be cast for Giant and Wilson. That
paper says the October elections at
the East will not influence the Pa
cific States for so far as the Pacific
Coast is the contest is already deci-
ded. ..-

ASAM PIE INCIDENT OF THE GEOR-
GlA ELECTION. 4.fgf,


Mr.. H. Hall, Chairman of the Sa.
vannah, Georgia, Republican Com,
mittee, telegraphs Judge Edmund,
Secretary of the Republican Con
gressional Committee, the following
statement of affairs at the election
in that city:
The Greeley party had full con-
troll of all the polls. The, managers
were all Democrats, and disregarded
the provisions of the law and would
not allow Republicans entitled by
law to cast their votes. After at
tempting to vote for several hours
they abandoned the polls and went
home. Over two thousand Repub-
lican voters were deprived of their
right to vote. The good behavior
of the eolored men only prevented
serious trouble. Colonel E. Bryant
Deputy Collector of Customs, was
seriously assaulted by plug-uglies,
who had been appointed as special
deputy sheriffs. A great outrage
upon the rights of citizens has becu
perpetrated. The polls were seen
rounded by large body of police,
armed with muskets, sabres and
clubs. They patrolled the streets
mounted. This morning the roads
leading 70 the city were picketed,
and voters from the country were
driven back and not allowed to come
into the city to vote. Only four
voting places were provided for
eight thousand voters in the county,
and these all in one building.
That is the way the Democrats
intend to carry the Southern States.
What has Mr.. Greeley to say now.
about disfranchisement? Who are
the disfranchised in Georgia.? Talk
about shaking hands across the
bloody chasm! VDoH

fact that the Democrats have nov
carried it by some majority, as vet
unknown, is q great triumph. If the

great triumph. pray what State did

Death from MIX sickness.

the death of Miss Lula Hghtower, mem

She was highly accomplished young lady,
daughter a the late DR.. Higbtower, of Will
hanson county. Sad to say, this very day
selected for the last tribute over her lifeless
body, was also the day appointed for her
nuptial ceremonies, and the same friends
who will weep over new-made grave to-
day, had it been otherwise decreed, would
have been Joyful over an event pertaining
to her earthly happiness. Alas for human
expectations! The wreath intended to
deck the brow of the fair young bride, and
the white blossoms designed for the hyme-

attic of that purity Of soul SO suddenly sep
srated from the iuanimste form that will be
borne TO the silent tomb.
