To,h Republican, ef&e United States:
A spontaneous and enthusiastic upris-

Iss, few days, evidenced by recent ad.
vire. TO this evening at these head
ou.r,er., leaves no doub! about the cleo
lion Of Hayes and Wheeler by large
majority Of the electoral votes. The
eyl.ive and yalueless promises OF Mr..
Tilden, with the stereotyped and reluc-
t,ut approval forced by him from
. few Southern Democratic committees,
not to press rebel war claims for
lo.s or damage to property, although still
demanding the payment 10 ex.rebels as
we'll as to loyal persons OF about two
thousand millions OF dollars claimed in
their bills before Congress for supplies
furnished or taken, and for the use and
occupancy Of property have failed TO
produce conviction, IN the contrary pur-
pose, and have alarmed instead OF quiet
ing the Northern people. The imminent
danger to the public credit and the
reyiying commerce and manufactures, If

rebellion that debt was created TO sup

With this uprising OF Northern senti.

New York City will be prevented, and
the Democratic city majority kept down
TO such an extent that the large Repub.
Iican majorities elsewhere will not fail
to overcome it and secure decided ma

New Jersey are believed to be surely
Republican, and there is good fighting
chance for Indiana; while the intorma-
ton from North Carolina, South Caro-.

IN spite OF the murderous opposition of
the Tilden Democrats these Southern
States will give majorities for Hayes.

Remember 1851. 1.-THE Democratic
party will never rebel; threats Of dis
union at the South come only from q
few irresponsible persons" Democratic
speakers had said only a year before. So
they say now, "The Democratic party
will never pay Southern war claims.
Only few reckless men propose it to
please the mob; only ignorant men i'm

cratic party would never permit such a

The Nan Who Had Been TO the
Centennial.

A ba.hful-appearing man stepped into
the Cincinnati Enquirer editoria! room
the other evening, and edging up to the
table Of the managing editor, hatin hand
said, in hesitating way:
"YOu like little items for your paper,
IuppOse?'
Certainly replied Mr.. Cockerill, "a
newspaper, like this, is made up OF little
items. What have you got to offer?'
"Well," said the bashful man, playing
SiIh his hat.band, "my name is Smith,
John Smith, and I've Just got home"
"Glal to see you back again, Mr..
Smith," said Cockerill, "been gone long?
"Ihave beer,7 said Mr.. Smith, with a
tremor Of pride in his voice, ITO the
Centennial, and il you want TO make 4
little notice"
"WhatT cried Cockerill, springing to
his feet; you've been to the Centennial l.?
And you've got back? Give US your
hand; I'm delighted to see you. Spear,
let me introduce you to John Smith.

Spear shook hands very warmly with
Mr.. Smith, and then ran 10 the aperture
communicating with the reporters room
and shouted, "Oh, ShaunneSsey, come in
here, quick; here's a man that's been to
the Centennial.
Then oShaunnessey bounded in, fol.
loved BY his assistants, all Of whom EN-.

expressed the qualification il afforded
them to meet man who had been TO the

down stairs somehow, and Joe Mcdowell
Bill Small and Uncle Joe Shadenger came
up stais at a tearing rate to gaze upon
the Individual who had been TO the Expo

H. T. Riddle, Representative from the

Government:

CITIZENS Of he United States FOR THE
USE AND OCCUPATION OF THEIR PROPERTY
by THE UNITED STATES Army, or any
part thereof, during the late Civil War,
in the same manner and under the same
regulations as compensation is now al.
lowed for Quartermasters' stores used by
said army; Prorided however, That the
affidavit OF the claimant, supported by
the competent testimony Of any reputa.
Bile citizen, SHALL BE SUFFICIENT
PROOF TO ESTABLISH THE FACT
OF THE USE AND OCCUPATION OF SUCH

The foregoing bill and another intro

equally sweeping in its provisions, are in.
tended to embrace all claims for property
or supplies Of every character used or de.

Union, which during four years marched
and encamped upon Southern soil. Their
estimated aggregates are immense, 81

Terrible naln-storm in Indiana.

a1 LOUISVILLE, October 3l-Reports
from Orleans, Orange County, Ind. =,
on the line of the Louisville, New AL
bany and Chicago Railroad, state that
Saturday and Sundays rains have
caused a fearful amount of damage i'm
that vicinity. The ground i'm The
neighbOrhoOd Monday morning was
one solid sea of water, and about one
third of Orleans was flooded, COM
pelling some thirty or forty families
to move out to higher ground. The
water i'm several instances came up to
the tops of the windows. Lost River,
near by, is overfowing, and the bridge
over il between Orleans and Paoli has
been swept away. Fences :and hay
stacks haye been swept off in everv
direction, while the drowning of stock
is considerable. Thomas G. Fisher
lost seventy-two head of fat hogs and
two horses. VIM. Montgomery lost
forty head of fat hogs. Numerous
others have lost smaller lots. Miles
of fences were washed away, leaving
corn in the field exposed to roaming
stock. The streams are said TO be
from seven to ten feet higher than ever
known before. The damage to the
is hardly less than 100000.
