TIE SITUATION IN THE SOUTH.

F-a1n the Atlanta News, sept %.
Elsewhere We publish an able article
from the Louisville Courier Journal,
which expresses in admirable language
the situation in the South. After de-
seribing the infamous treatment 70 which
We have been subjected. our eOtempOr-
arv admits that the Southern people
find themselves slowly drifting into
solid and sectional resistance 10 pro
scriptive spirit. al once indiscriminate
and vehement" This feeling the Courier
Journal attributes a. much 70 ''inprae-
tiOle hot heads of the South as to
Northern Radicalism.
We cannot see II III that light. For nine
years the advocates Of ''conciliatiOn"
have had pretty much their own way in
the South. To-day u large majority Of
the political leaders OF the South are
the advocates of Cancellation; but they
find themselves gradually falling behind
the masses. who have grown weary of
unfuiiilled promises and skeptical of
relief from the North. For nine wears a
policy OF submission and reconciliation
las been adhered 10. and the Courier
Journal, which has been one of its most
influential eXpOnents, admits that it has
been failure
Shall we continue in the same road
for nine years longeTl If u majority of
the Southern people will it, we have no
objection. Every year will find the
number of troubles smaller and the ad-
herents of the 1.-THE impracticables" %
stronger. Some day the political lead
ers will begin the regeneration of the
South Then IL UW be demonstrated
that liberty IS not gained by submission
to despOtiSHl, bUt that If q people desire
to be free, they must resist ece5y attempt
at oppression and be Gl1CdgS ready for an
appeal to the last tribunal IF peoples.
Meantime We propose to watch the
progress of the political campaigns,
month by month. The end viii be all
the same, but submission now will make
it harder upon us. Still, we have no
objection to giving these advocates OF
cancellation" all the rope they want.
Nine years hence will find our position
worse than it is now, unless the end of
the tether is reached before then, as we
pray God it may be.

IT is lamentable fact that the people
are not often given the opportunity of
voting for a good man for Congress.
When, by special dispensation of Di-
vine Providence, the pOt-hOuse poIiti-
clans and riff-raT are put down and a
first-elass man is put in nomination, it is
n circumstance of such an extraordinary
character that it ought to be celebrated
by the unanimous election of the extra
ordinarily suitable candidate The vO-
tiers of the Tenth District are afforded,
this fall, the rare opportunity of voting
for man who has done splendid work
toward purifying American politics, and
who has served in Congress Just long
enough to get his hand in, and to make
it certain that his usefulness in the fu-
ture may be much greater than it has
been. Mr. Foster encountered the San
born Ring and the Jayne Ring. both of
which are comprised in the more extern
sive ring known as the Butler Ring, and
by dint of hard fighting and unfiinching
courage he broke them up. To do this
he had to meet opposition from Admin
istratiOn as well as all other quarters and
to combat obstacles that would, ordipa-
rily, have driven a partiZan from the
field overwhelmed and defeated. But
Mr. Foster is one of those gentlemen so
seldom found WHO believe that wrong
ought 20 be exposed and corrected Just
as much if his own party is responsible
for it, as If the Democratic party is to
blame. In his speech last winter on the
SanbOrn frauds he declared that he
could not permit his party affiliations to
stand in the way of the honest discharge
OF his duties, and his conduct justified
the declaration. There is not one man
in hundred, similarly situated, who
would have had the nerve and manhood
to do as he did. The duty of the voters
Of the Tenth District is plain-they
ought TO return Mr. Foster with unan-
unity. There is no reason why they
should not. Foster is Just entering up
on "a career of usefulness, and ought to
be continued in Cincinnati Com

BEAT THE Polls

1t is necessary that the Republicans
Of each township see that 2 sufficient
number of Republicans are at the polls,
when they are opened in the morning,
and that the polls be strictly guarded
during the day. See that none but legal
votes so into the ballot-box, and see thai
every Republican vote is got out.

y DESPATCH to the Cincinnati Gazette
from Tifin gives the following hopeful
review of the situation in this District:
The Republicans of the Tenth District
are waking up, and are bound TO return
4ir. Foster to Congress on the 18th. The
district is being well canvassed, and
shows al increased confidence in the
Republican party in general, and Mr..
Foster in particular. In this county Mr.
Foster has spent considerable time,
making two speeches nearly every day.
He spoke in Republic, Saturday p. H.,
and at MelmOre in the evening. At both
places crowds greeted him, and much
enthusiasm was manifest
Mr.. Serey, his opponent. is cultivating
the saloon interests of Sandusky, and
neglecting his own county, which puts
long faces on the Democratic leaders ia
this city. As a saIary-grabber Seney
would be a success in Congress. He
recently charged a widow, in this city.
sixteen hundred dollars for an hours
legal advice. Snow him up.

THE Republicans of Ohio lost the cleo
ton last year by carelessness. They
really handed over the State to the DEM
ocraey by staying at home. 1t is TO be
hoped that no such thing will occur this
year. Every Republican voter should
act as II the result depended upon his
single vote. The whole strength of the
party should be polled, and We have no
ie'lrs as TO the result. a decided Re
publican victory is what is needed in
Ohio next Tuesday.

THE Cin@nnati Gazette in a recent is
sue says that it is Democrats who have
been writing to that paper regarding the
habits of Judge Gilmore. 1t states that
only one Republican has written ii CON
cerning the matter. II makes little mat
ter who makes the charge; the fact re-
mains that the charges of drunkenness
against Judge Gilmore has Lot been sue
eessfully controverted by his friends.

THE Cincinnati Gazette thinks the
Republican majority in Ohio viii be
about 80, 600. There Is a majority Of
Republicans fully that large in the State,
if they will come out and vote 1t is
only matter of a little energy and ae-
tivity.

WE pity the Fremont Messenger. 1t
is afraid that if Foster is elected for
third term that Grant will seize upon
the precedent TO establish himself in the
Presidential chair for third term
There is no help for it. The people are
determined to send Foster back, and
willie We do not believe it will effect
Grant in the least, if it does, the MeSseR-
CeT will have 10 stand.

Bogus Tickets

The Republicans OF Blanchard town
ship were very much surprised, last
Wednesday. 20 Gnd Republican tickets
in circulation With tire Sheriff blank,
PAM Kemerers name. for Recorder, left
out. and Frank Cline's name. for COrO-
ner. 50 badly mutilated as 20 make it
fraudulent. Naturally enough, there
was much Indignation felt over this mat
ter.and the editor Of tie Courier, seeing
that indignation runs high in the affair,
came out in a card sayiug that .tiJe Re
Du5licO7tS had united IL a written re
quest TO him 10 print a Republican ticket
with the Sheriff blank, and that he had
done 20, copying tie ticket, mistakes and
all. from the JEFFERsOSIAN. Coming
from a. old and experienced an editor
as Mr. LEWIS GLEssYER this palaver i
altogether too thin. II i the custom,
a. be well knows, to print the ticket at
the head Of the paper, giving every can
didate the name 10y which he Is best
known The week before the election
the tickets are printed, ,givinge ach can
didate leg0I Hames. and Ir. GLEssYER,
or any other man, certainly has sense
enough 10 know that it il his duty to
give the ticket in full, and exact. But
then. why does he not give the names Of
the fire Republicans, who requested him
in writing. Is he says, TO print the fraud
ulent ticket. And why is JAMES J..
HENRY engaged in sending out such
tickets.
The truth boiled down, is simply this:
The rump of the Democratic party in
this county are ussng the most desperate
means 10 bolster up the waning fortunes
of the ring candidate for Sheriff, as wei
as some other candidates on that ticket.
Their anxiety has outrun their discre-
ton. and they now are trying TO evade
the penalty, which always follows, sooner
or later. any unfair means to carry an
election.
. And now, honest voters of Hancock
county-men OF all parties: Come out
in your might ana snow 10 Tie world
your disapprobation OF the course
pursued by those men. Between these
candidates for Sheriff the issue is
marked and well defined. The election
of SAMUEL ITREs means that the Office
shall be administered with even-handed
justice and in accordance with the oath.
The election OF JAMES L. HENRY means
that the Cfice shall be run in the in
terests of the very lowest cabal and
clique that ever cursed a county seat
Choose ye between them. We want a
good man for the Office, and we had bet
ter keep such a man in the place for the
rest of his life than TO repeat the his
tory Of the last two years.

WESTERN advices state that an at
tempt was made TO burn Helena, Monta-
ma, on tie night Of the 21st of Septen-
Der, four incendiary fires having been
started in different localities, one of
which was in the Court-House. Recent
heavy rains had left the timber damp,
or the entire city must have been burni
ed to the ground, since the fires were
lighted after midnight, when their time
ly discovery was improbable. Although
few buildings were burned, a great pan
ic resulted from the breaking out of
fire in so many different localities, aud
considerable damage was done from
hastily removing household goods, and
from the water thrown upon the burn
ing buildings.

THE Democratic Central Committee
of Louisiana have issued an address to
their supporters explaining the reason of
their going into the recent compromise
conference. The address contains four
notable points: The admission of the
existence OF the White League as "Con-
servative"-that is, Democratic-organ-
izations The confession of their being
armed and its justification as being ''for
their own protection, should ''the neces-
sity arise" The i'll concealed rejoicing
over the insnrrection OF the 14th of Sep
tember, which it makes az IAN era in
the history of the reconstruction of the
Southren States" The plea that the
positive pledge of the Democratic con
ferees that rioting by their followers
throughout the State should cease, and
that frauds. violence, and intimidation
towards voters should no longer inter
fere with a fair and free election, was
but conditional promise to lend their
aid and influence in that direction. On
ly that and nothing more.
