Poindexter in Lafourche.

A correspondent, writing from Thibo-
daux under date of October l8, refers to
the Democratic Senator Poindexter, in the
following terms:
The Hon. ~ Robert Poindexter, who left
his associate, Mr.. Davis, in the lurch here
on the fifteenth has not been heard of
since his sudden departure; and although
he was some two weeks or more in our
midst. making speeches in behalf of the
opposition, have yet to learn of single
elector of our party that he has converted.
In fact all, even the Democracy, are unani
mous in declaring him the weakest orator
Of his color that has honored the Fifteenth
Poindexter down as doing more injury to
our asssilants than they bargained for, and
I. for one, glory in the mistake they have
made in sending the gentleman out to dis
cuss their side Of the house.

The Democratic To- newspapers are com

This is more start ling than the discovery
that all the great Tiverc run by the lsrge

lican counties come in easly; of course the
returEs from lDemoc ratio counties come IN
late. Wherever the ne axe railroads and
telegraphs and means of rapid communiea-
tion with the intellig enee and thought OF

Threwiug Light On the Democratlc Ma.
joritieo In Indiana.

A prominent Republican official, whose
homo is in . large town in the Northern
part of the State, whom met returning to
Washington, on the train leaving Indian
apolis last night, offered some facts and
theory which threw light on the problem of
unexpected Democratic majorities breaking
out here and there without rule or reason.
The theory was that Mr.. Tilden's commit
tee in New York selected . certain number
of localities tor the money 90 used did not
pass through the hands of General Mason's
committee, but was disbursed by the agents
employed BY the New York concern, who
were mysteriously fitting about the State
during the fortnight preceding the cleo
tiOns. Among the many facts sustaining
this theory he mentioned the following: The
appearance of Senator Barnum, of COnnec-
ticut, on the field, about two weeks sgo-s
man of not feathers weight in pclitics,
apart from his skill in the use OF money In
elections He made NO speeches, kept ont
Of sight - much as possible, and in his
travels over the State appeared to have NO
purposes except to enable him to hold
secret conferences with Democratic man
ayers in the large towns. Another thing
was tho presence and activity of . number
of men Of whom nothing could be learned
except that they came from the East on
political bands. Next WAS the polling Of .
number Of towns by men who acknowl-
edged that they were employed to make
the canvass by the New York committee and
to report to it. Then there wore the impor-
tations of the vile crew of Eastern roughs
and repeaters, who were driven out of In
dianapolis by the frmness Of the Republic
ans. but who operated in other towns where
the Democrats controlled the police force,
and the direct purchase of votes for cash,
prscticed, - is known, in many localities,
by men who went to Indianapolis on the
Saturday before the election and returned
with funds for the purpose. My informant
said that in his town the price of q vote
was a. we'll known a that of . barrel of
flour, the market opening in the morning a.
low as 81, and running up to $5 toward
evening. Philadelphia Letter to New York

The Gernsan Vste In Ohio.

The German detection cost US several
thousand votes in Cleveland, Columbus and
Cincinnati, but the sturdy honesty and
good sound sense of the country districts
more than balanced our losses in the city.
God bless the country people.-MansfeM
Herald.
We are quite certain that many of the
country papers throughout Ohio greatly ex-
aggerate the detection of the German voters
in the cities of this State. In Toledo, which
has q heavy German contingent, General
Cox was elected by nearly 1000 majority.
one of the most remarkable results attained
in any congressional district. The tenth
district, with the numerous German vote of
Sandusky, reelected Mr.. Foster by an iu-
creased majority. In Cincinnati the Ger
mans stood sqnarely and ready up to their
work. Ii the native born Republicans there
had shown as much pluck and unity as the
Germans, Judge Matthews would not have
been overrun and beaten BY imported re-
peaters from Kentucky. 10 Cleveland
the fact was precisely the same. There
was no such Wholesale abandonment of the
Republican ticket by the German voters
- the Democrats had counted on. 1t was
this fact that made Nj. Townsend's ma
jority 1878, instead of 1000 or $500, as it
thnsiastic torch bearers in the Republican
procession on the Saturday night before the
election were Germans. They worked at
the polls all day on Tuesday just as earn-
estly ~ they had ever done. The fact lie, .
German is as naturally . Republican as an
Irishman is . Democrat. The German be-
Iieves in honest money. in economy, in free,
thorough, uneectarian educ alton and equal
rights to all men. These are all Republican
doctrines. The German Is, moreover, q
man who reads and thinks. He is too in
teliigent to be caught by any such pitiful
tricks as the Know Nothing circular sent
out from Columbus to carry the impression
that the triumph of the Republican party
this year would elect . President who
would pcoscribe foreigners. Our friends in
the country need have no anxiety shout
the German vote in the cities of Ohio. 1t
will be found this fall on the Republican
side. ~ usual.-Clevelasad Leader.

The Bashi Bazouhs Of South Carolina.

The following is con tanned substantially
in the official report OF the South Carolina
