INDIANA AND OHIO.

The latest dispatches fr om Indiana
and Ohio. confirm the election reports
received yesterday. except that the
Democratic majority in Indiana will
probably fall short of that estimate.
This mornings report concede the cleo
ton of Williams and the whole Demo-
cratic State ticket in Indiana. Ohio is
still close and doubtful. The returns
show Democratic gains of over four
thousand in the counties. Of Cuyahoga
and Hamilton, Ohio does not elect q
Governor this year. and the contest be-
tween Barnes and Bell for Secretary of
State is so close that it will probably
take the official count to determine
which is elected. This, in a vote of about
100000. is certainly as close as could
reasonably be expected; and shows that
in the great State of Ohio, the parties
are SO evenly divided that it is difficult
to determine which will achieve VIC
tory in November.

THs difference in the effect of light
ming in various countries is remarkable.
1t is believed to be more dangerous in
England than here. From statistics
collected it appears that on an average
seventy-seven people are killed by it
each year in France, and the annual
list OF killed and wounded there by
this cause amounts to ESQ.,, The low
lying departments are less subject to
1t. Eighty were wounded and nine
killed in one thunderstorm at Chatea-
uneuf.les-M outiers in 1851. and with
in enc week. when the air was highly

GOV. HAYES LETTER OF AC-
CRPTANCE.

A week ago the country, was startled
by a dispatch from New York giving
Governor Hayes letter. of acceptance
of his nomination by the Know Moth.
ing organization. known as the Ameri-
can Alliance. The Chairman of the
Ohio Republican Central Committee,
deniedthe authenticity of the letter; but
Governor Hayes took care to keep
silent on the subject. One of the as
sistant secretaries of the Alliance ex-
perienced change of sentiments. He
thought it might not be exactly right to
invite English, Irish, Germans, French
and Europeans generally, to come to the
United States. where no distinction
is made by law between native and
naturalized citizens, and then .ostracise
them because of their birth, so he has
made the letter of acceptance public
1t has been Autographed, and facsimiles
of the original. are published in the
large dailies of the Eastern States.
The letter reads as follows !: Columbus.
Ohio, July 10. ls76--Dear Sir /: Gov.
Hayes desires me, to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your valued favor of July z,
inclosing resolutions, of the American
Alliance, and to say in reply that he
is deeply gratified by this expression of
confidence. The Importance of carry
ing the States of New York, New
Jersey, and Connecticut in the ap-
preaching canvass is fully recognized,
and at the proper time references, will
be given you to committees for such
aid and cooperation as seems to be ad-
visable-Very respectfully.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

Every American citizen. be his polit-

the least shadow Of regard for constitu-
tional freedom and the rights of his fell
lows, or who retains spark Of true man
illness, unbiased by political prejudice,
must entertain deep sympathy for the
people Of South Carolina for the indig-
mites put upon them BY President
Grant while every. honest American
heart will burn with indignation at the
high-handed outrages committed against
those people by the aame official. While
pretending to be influenced, in his ad-
ministfation Of the Government, only
BY desire to do impartial justice to all,
the President listens to the one-sided
and selfish story told by the acting chief
magistrate is himself an immi-
grant to the State from the North-a
political adventurer who has proven him.
self capable Of any act, however dishon-
orable or dishonest, to attain his aims
10 the pursuit Of ofice-a candidate for
reelection by the negroes and their few
base white allies. To such man the
President gives ear. and rejects the bet
ter counsels and more faithful represen-
tations Of the existing condition Of the
internal affairs Of the State made BY ma
tive born and more responsible citizens
because they chance to be Of the demo-
cratic party, and whose reports are con-
frmed by the Chief Justice Of the State
"a leading member Of the Republican
parsy-and other State officials and
prominent men.
Despite the representations Of these
men-based on knowledge obtained in
the prosecution Of their duties as pur-
vsyors Of the peace-that good order
prevails throughout most all Of the
State, and that in no part of it has there
at any time existed any disturbances
which could not readily be quelled by
the arm Of the civil law, the President
has sent large numbers Of United States
soldiers into the State nominally to pre-
serve peace which is not disturbed. or
only disturbed BY the persons whom be
processes to wish to protect. The hypoc-
risy Of the President and bis abettors
in this matter is too transparent to de-
ceive even the blipdest and most obtuse
Of even his followers. Despairing Of
the success Of his party BY fair means
and fearing lest the negroes, upon whom
they rest their main hopes, will follow
The example Of those Of Georgia. Ala
bama and Virginia and cast their bal
lots in favor Of the Democratic candi-
date, the President has illegally made
use Of his power as chief magistrate to
endeavor to control the election in
South Carolina, in the interests Of bis
party and its candidates. And this is
the leader and exponent Of the Repub-
lican party, and these the unscrupulous
means BY which they seek to retain
power.
