In special despatch from this city to the
New York Times last Thursday, occurs the
following:
''Greeley went away, taking a special
tram tor Portland, and soon after the crowd
disappeared. 1t was certainly most dis
orderly one. Before the return train started
and during the afternoon there were half
dozen tough fights, and fifty drunken people
were met in brief half hours elbowing
through the turbulent masses"
The following is the report of the Boston
Advertisers correspondent concerning the
same subject:
The great outpouring did not appear, nor
did the speakers who were promised; but
there was drunkenness, fighting and rowdy-
ism sufficient to fill up Mr.. Greeley's descrip-
ton of the democratic party. In fact the
rioting was, for while, of the most danger
Gus character. Before midnight the city
marshal had been in dozen fights, and had
drawn his revolver on the crowds more than
once. That officer says that in his expert
enee-he has been in office about three years
he has never seen such an evil disposed
crowd"
gentleman mot in politics" wrote on
Friday to the Portland Press:
"The mass meeting here yesterday was
fairly attended, with moderate enthusiasm
and more drunkenness and rowdyism than |
ever saw in this city before. The whole pro-
cedure was terribly unpalatable to the old
democracy dyed in the wool A very prom

The Election in Wood County.

The official results of the election in this
county, which we will give in our next
issue, will make disgraceful showing foi
some Of the townships in the south part Of
the county.
The opposing parties in ferrysbufg
township we're fighting their way on party
princsglas until noon on the day of cleo
tion, when dispatch was receixed stating
that the two Pcrrysburg candidates, Mr..
PIERCE, for Commissioner, and Mr.. BAIRD,
fer Sheriff, were being scratched in tho
'outhern part OF the eoCnty in manner
that would endanger their election. l.
wSs not until then that the political strife
ceased, and the results will show that VIC
are indebted to the Democrats OF rerrys-
burg townshipdOr Republican Commits
sioncr and Sheriff.
That the Republicans Of those townships
have been imposed upon by designing men
there is no doubt. II IA due the Repulli.
can party that this matter Should be feret.

We have met the enemy and they
are ours. The Presidential contest
is virtually decided. We have be-
lievcd and often stated, that justice,
truth and right, would prevail, and
our words are verified. The animus
was fierce. and the battle strong
Every artifce, stratagem and trick,
were resorted to by our opponents,
whsle the Republicans desired fair
fight on principly- and the issues in
volved. The results are a proud
triumph for the latter, with signal
and overwhelming defeat of the
former.
This speaks well for the intelli-
gence Of the people, and shows how
keenly alive they are to their true
interests, while it proves how futile
have been the attempts made to
hood wink and seduce them from
the plain path Of duty. The course
pursued by the "unterri6ed" was, tc
use slang phrase, "soo thin" AS
we remarked upon former occasion
policies may change, but principle:
are eternal, and in November next will
certasnly triumph in the right.

We learn from the Toledo Commercial,
that the late firm OF HrRp, BUNCH & Co,
is officially stated TO be dissolved. His
professed friends repudiated him at the
polls, which he justly thinks was mean and
cruel. No doubt it was; but" man who
lies down with dogs will get up with heas."
So said the doughty champion OF the Coali-
tion, whom Mr. BUNCH says he will not
vote for. lie says further that he could
not have believed that "they would go
back on him as they have, after partaking
Of the hospitalities Of his "dive," &c.
He now repudiates the entire GREELEY
concern. He says he never was so treated
in his life as he has been by the high
toned gentlemen now running the great
moral revolution in Lucas county"
He declares "they held out to him the
most 4empting oyertSres and promises OF
place and power, and then went back on
him, and now he is done with GREELEY
and the Democracy. As an indication Of
his feelings ahe door Of his "dive' was

EDITOR JoURSAL:-The 134 Republi-
cans of Center township and the lS7Repub-
licans of Plain township, who voted Tor
Pierce for Commissioner, send greeting to
the 2O6 Republicans OF Perrysburg town
ship, who voted for Wilson for Commits
sioner, and rejoice with them in the sue
cess OF the whole RepublicaR ooEHty ticket; ;
IN the increased majority of Wood county
for the State ticket, and in the triumph Of
the Republicans of this Congressional Dis
trict. Our enemies here are vexed beyond
measure because Republicans would vote
for Pierce and Baird, and are incensed
at their Democratic brethren in Perrys-
burg because three names on their county
ticket we're wrong.
While the enemy heredisabled our 'rig-
ging," and sent US TO sea without sail or
rudder, they are sunk so deep in the pool
OF fraud and corruption that no political
triumph will ever call them to resUrrec-
ton. Among the lost from our Republi-
lican ranks, we rejoice to know that we
shall never more be burdened with him
who was defeated for Treasurer in 1870,
and again this year defeated for Sheriff.
The Doctor has lain down with d-s and
finds himself full of aeas.
1t is the regret among Republicans here
that two candidates upon our ticket-who
knew OF the contemplated fraud of the
Democrats, the Doctor and his erew-did
not sound the toscin of war, but sat quietly
down and allowed the plans to be matured
and carried out right under the guns Of
their picket1Post. Shame on such men =
men whom Republicans had honored with
their confidence and placed upon the
watch-tower as sentinels, had been met
while on duty, under flag of truce, and
protection promised to themselves, while
their brethren were to be slaughtered who
had confidence in them and assurances
from them that no enemy should enter the
gates.

PoMERoY's SIDE SHOW.

The San Francisco Post is of the
opinion that the last hope of the
GRANTEES centers upon the Louis
vile Convention. Without a split
in the Democratic party, they feel
that their military idol will be top
pied over and honest Horace Greeley
placed in the Presidential chair.
With what anxiety they watch the
movements of Brick Pomeroy and
his confederate Duncan! How ten
derby they speak of the men whom it
has been their custom to denounce
as eopperheads and rebels, Charles
O'Conor, too suddenly looms up be-
fore their mental vision as the en-
bodiment and personifcation of Dem
ocracy, patriotism and wisdom.
If he will only lend the Influence of
his great name to lift the boiling
movement into responsibility, and
enable it to carry off Democratic
vote. enogh to elect Grant, they will
eat their dirty ISLANDERS of the past
and hail him as a true patriot. But
unless we greatly mistake the char
acter Of Charles O'Conor, the Adj
ministration is doomed to bitter dis
appointment. He loves his country
too much to be instrumental in re-
clecting Grant and keeping his cor
rupt gang in Office, and his manly
dignity will not permit him to be-
come the candidate of Pomeroy and
Duncan. The friends and admirers
Of Charles O'Conor, blush with
shame at the very thought of his be-
ing placed in such an ignoble and
humiliating position. That he will
consent to allow his name to be used,
we do not for a moment believe.
