WASHINGTON, September Is, 1876.
The Democratic managers here q else
whore regard the invasion Of Indiana and
Ohio by the oonquering captains of tho Re-
publican hosts, fresh from their glorious
triumphs in Maine and Vermont, with I'M
disguised apprehensions of disaster to tho
Bourbon cause. Westward the course OF
empire, Senator Blaine, Colonel Ingersoll,
Kasson and other furious leaders take their
way, meeting with ovations from the in
telligent Republican masses all along the
line. The Copperhead columns of the
hopelessly shattered and broken. Talbot's
loyal horse, under whose shadow it's dis
loyal owner esseyed to steal his way into
the gubernstorial chair of Maine, indig-
nantly repudiated such an intimacy. The
purpose was too thin, and the result in that
State shows the made quacy Of money and
hypocritical pretenses of reform" to dra-
COON intelligent votere, when the sinister
designs of the Democratic leaders are once
fairly exposed by the analytical reasonin
to which they we're subjected IN the recent
campaign there.
All advices from that locality up to the
active Inauguration Of campaign work
tended to show the apathy among the Re-
publicans, chiefly due to Mr.. Blaine's defeat
at Cincinnati. But when Mr.. Blaine, in the
nobility of his manhood, and forgetful of
everything but his duty as a patriot,
charged down upon the enemy 10 his own
impetuous way, leading an aggressive CON-
pany imbred with his own spirit, the indif
ference was dispelled as if By magic and
the whole State was aroused as one man to
beat back the forces Of smouldering re.
bellion. Sixteen thousand majority against
less than 1000 in 1875! Four thousand more
than the most sanguine had dared to pre-
dict LIST all who run read. No very aston.
ishing number of converts were made, as is
shown by the relative vote; but every man
almost who was Republican from convic-
ton had his duty forcibly, irresistibly i'm
pressed upon his mind afresh by earnest
men who had been made to feel the danger
involved to the country in a Democr attic
restoration, by the greedy, INSCRIPTIONS
and arrogant ex-rebel Democrat from the
South and his servile associate from other
sections, who were swept into the national
House Of Representatives by the reaction.
airy wave of 1874.
The action of the Democratic mourners
who met in convention for the second time
at Saratoga, on Wednesday, in nominating
Lucius Robinson for Governor, show the
state of desperation to which the party is
reduced in the Empire State. At the first
meeting Of those men, Dorsheimer was
made to cover under the insults heaped
upon him by Sachem Kelly and others, be-
cause of his tarty remuneration of Repub.
licanism. With the true jesuitical spirit
which characterizes Q true New York Dem.
ocrat, Mr. Dorsheimer was given to under
stand that his incarnation must be in terms
the most abject, and that he must PROSTATE
himself in the filth at the feet of his DO
litical confessor sufficient length of time
that all might witness his degradation as
proof of his sincerity, and as penance be-
fore he would be allowed to serve in the
inner courts of the Democratic temple.
These insults were unreb1ked, and the tur-
bulent cry went up from Q hundred Dem
ocratic throats: "Give US lifelong Dem
ocrat.' Notice was served that no rem
egade Republican need apply for thu first
place. The unanimous choice of that con-
centrated Bourbon, Horatio Seymour, was
greeted by shouts Of approval almost as
feroci0us az went up from the mob of wild
beasts who turned from Mr.. Ssymour's salu-
tation of "My friends to burn orphan
posts, and to enact crimes that would have
shamed devils in 1868. What change has
been wrought in less than two weeks! On
Wednesday they humbly besought Mr..
Robinson, Republic an deserter, to come
to their aid. Dorsheimer is retained, and
there is presented in New York. as in Mas
sachusetts, the amazing spectacle of the
defiant, boasting, insolent Democracy, GO
ing to sure defeat under the lead OF Repub-
lican deserters; and the leader in Massa-
chusetts this year was q candidate for Q
similar position before a Republican con-
vention last year.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
reports that the receipts of his Office at the
end of the next fiscal year promise to be
several millions in excess of the estimates
made last December, confirming the reports
from every hand of a general revival Of
business from the three years prostration
and distress.
The pension Office is being moved from
the "Ssston building" to its new, safe and
commodious quarters at the corner of Penn
sylvania avenue and Twelfth street. The
confusion incident to removal and the
diminished clerical force is going to delay
the business of the Office in way to annoy
claimants very seriously.
The complaint is very general in many of
the bureaus that the transaction of business
will be very much retarded by the made
quate force allowed. 1t is understood that
the controller of the currency has ex-
pressed himself as unable to even keep up
his current work.
Our city is overrun with strangers on
their way to Philadelphia, or back from
there to their homes. They are from North,
South, East and West, those from the latter
section preponderating I'D to a week or two
