From day to day for week past, news

the country not wholly unprepared for his

the expiring chief Red Jacket said of him

upon his people like the sound Of the fall of
giant pine In the stiffness of the woods.
He has in a mistaken aspiration for
higher field of usefulness and
power aud glory, fallen a sacrifice to
his political smbition. He bad failed TO

THE DEFEAT in INDIANA

Sustained by the Opposition is so over
whelming it is amazing that they have the
assurance to speak of the State as doubtful.
Some of them do so. For the benefit OF
such we copy the view of the matter taken
by that old and unrelenting Democratic
journal, the Chicago Times /.
The result in Indiana is now definitely asoer-
tanned. The Republicans keep the State They
have elected every State officer, excepting only
Governor. They have elected the two Congress.
men at large all the other Congressman but
three, and 3 majority in both branches of the
legislature, thus securing the rethrn of o. p.
Morton to the United States Senate. Mr.. Hem
bricks Is probably elected Governor by five or
six hundred majority, running ahead of the
Greeley ticket some hundreds more than that. .
In the Congressional delegation the Repubi-
cans have gained not only the two additional
members under the new apportionment, but two
besides, making a gain Tor them of fatr Con-
gressmcn in Indiana. OF the thirteen members
the Democrats have elected only three two less
than they had before they joined the Chappa-
quaeks. The return of y, p Nor on to the
United States Senate and the reduction of the
Democratic representation in Congress from
fve-elevenths 10 Observation-Disclosures is what
the Democracy in Indiana have achieved by
Isallying with the Greeleyite Dellah.
The Republicans reckon upon carrying the
State for Grant by ten thousand majority. If
any considerable number OF Democrats shall
continue 10 auner6 10 tne 1Oollsh ana SUICIDAL
scheme OF trying to save q little contemplate
squad of sorehead Radicals from political perdi-
lion, tie reckoning Is an exceedingly moderate
one. Over Greeley, Grants majority in Indiana
Is more likely TO be fifty thousand for there are
hardly less than that number OF Democrats in
Indiana who are already determined to cast their
votes for O'Conor and Adams. And If the entire
body OF Democrats In that State should drop tho
dead log OF Chappaqua and his "lost cause
beyond doubt O'Conor and Adams would re-
ceiye the electoral vote of Indiana. The only

THE EIGHTH DIsTRICr

There are some men who are never
satisfied with things. They think like the
Otabeitan cooks that no food is good to eat
unless they have tasted it. No chicken is
worth anything unless Matched in their
nest. Some of these worthy but mistaken
people are finding fault with the Republic
cans of the Eighth district for venturing to
make nomination for Congress to contest
the ground against party Overwhelmingly
in the majority. We commend the exam
pie of this district to Republicans eyery-
where. As long as there was reasonable
prospect of some candidate who might
divide the opposition, and who would sus-
tain the Administration, they refrained from
making nomination. But they would be
false to principle, and blind to every con-
sideration of sound policy, TO let such
nomination as that of General Hunton 20
nnopposed in campaign involving the
most vital national issues.
General Hunton has been making an ac-
tive canvass for several weeks, aided by the
most able speakers of his party. The
charges which he makes against General
Grant and the Republican party are of the
most serious character. They are backed
by his personal popularity and well known
ability as speaker. They are made before
audiences who read only their own papers
and hear no refutation Of these statements,
and no defence of our party. While they
go unchallengad our cause suffers and the
people are deceived into still supporting
party which is fast losing their confidence.
They see no place to go. and remain where
they are. To surrender such an opportu-
nifty is inexcusable on our part
There never was time when the public
mind in Virginia was so favorable to receive
The truth as at this moment. Our oppo.
