VERY 10 ".

The sound of the grinding is low in the
outrage mill, and the voice of the carpet
bagGer has become burden. The Cbatta-
nooga Convention has proved to be the
most miserable failure that was ever at
tempted to be turned into q success. The
result of the Ohio and Indiana elections
fell upon it like an Gntimely frost and
withered its branches and drIed up its en-
sauguined sap. The champion liars hicd
themselves to their homes III a state OF
lapidatioD bordering apon the ridiculous.
The experiment Of firing the Northern
heart with the details of the imaginary
woes of the carps.-bag thieves, proved to
be II miserable failare, for it turned out
that the Northern heart was fired in the
opposite objection. AS a response the
States OF Ohio aud Indiana doubled their
Democratic delegation, and Grants ma
iOrIly of 81. 600 i'll the two States gave way
to nearly 80, 600 on the other side a change
of more than 100, 00U in two years. Had
the result been Otherwise, what a fearful
showing would have been made 10y the
outrage committee.
The season for growing outrages at Chat
tanooga was very Inopportuue. 1t was too
late. tho soil was cold and barren and the
seed was innocent OF germ or vitality 1he
sewers shivcred in the fuTrow, and crawied
home sick, weary and discousoiate, with
not the slightest hope Of a harvest. To all
inteuts and purposes they might as well
have planted eggs in the expectation OF
raising poultry, or pigs tails with a view OF
gathering bacon. y more miserable fail

picab!e set of political cravens and prosti-
tutcS were never mere aummaTiiiy tum bled

and left to ocfoul their own unclcan deus.
The total snufiing out OF this miserable
band OF conspiTatofs was one Of the most
glorious results of The election of Tuesday.
When they heard the people speak through
the ot-box, they si;aply howled, and
like Sheep-kIliing dogs turned tail aud fled
incontlDentiy. They knew their doom
when they heard the people of Ohio aud
indiana bring III their verdict OF guilty

She peoples wrath. Four hundred and
hfty thousand honest freemen in Ohio and
Indiana said TO Morton, and Kellogg, and
Grant, and Patterson, and Williams, and
Moses, and Chamberlain, and the rest of
them, step down AID out - and unless
the mandate IS obeyed, they viii emphasize
1T with a few vigorous aud well directed
kicks.
1t is something grand to see the people
arise IN Their might, and sweep the un-
iaitiiiu! ie;s'ers of party from power with
a awhlI.wnd of Indignation. Thousands of
lnUepeHdant ItepuUlicaus joined III with
the democracy III eftectiug a change that
h0d became absolutely necessary as d nlea-
sure OF safety. They will do the same
thing IN this State on the first Tuesday Of
November. They know that in 30 other
way can they break mp the State and local
hings wh!ch have not Only diagtsced the
politics OF the Commonw ealth but have
saduIed the people with taxes that it is al
most or quite i'm poSSible for them to pay.
