Special Dispatch to the Times.
NEW YORK, October 10,
There is still much interest mani
tested in the Western elections, and
the rooms of the national committee
has again been thronged all day with
politicians and anxious inquirers.
The politicians have about made up
their minds how the States have
gone. but the inquirers have read so
many contradictory kilograms that
they resolutely refuse to believe any.
thing; Colonel Pelton. at the Demo-
cratic committee rooms, received a
dispatch from Governor Hendricks
this evening saying: "The Indiana
State ticket is elected by from 6, 900 TO
5000" Governor Hendricks further
adds prediction that the State will
go for Tilden in November by 10000
majority. Among scores of other dis
patches to the Democratic national
committee, are one from Terre Haute
saying that Mclean, Democratic. for
Congress. is beaten; that Nigo county
gives $50 Democratic gain, and thai
John A. McMahon, Democrat, is cleo
ted TO Congress in the Dayton, Ohio.
district by 100 majority. William
Henderson, of the Indiana Democratic
State committee, telegraphs: 'Oul
majority is hourly increasing, it may
reach 10000" Colonel Pclton, who
has watched things closer than any
one else here, also thinks that Indi-
ana's majority will touch 10000. He
comedies the election of Barnes in
Ohio, but puts the MAJORITY at 1000.
He also comedies the res: OF the Re
publican ticket there. The great
gains in West Virginia, he says, must
not be overlooked as indicating thu
result of the November election
There is genuine JOY at the Democrat,
headquarters, and Tilden's election il
most confidently predicted by every
one here. Governor Tilden remained
in the rooms mo st OF the day.

nR Il GOOD,

r r HAYES was a member of the 39th
and 4Oth Congresses. During that time
he distinguished himself only by his votes
for subsidies and jobs. March 2, 1867,
he voted for bill making extra allow
ance to contractors for iron clads, which
the Secretary of the Navy testified was
backed by one of the strongest lobbies
he had ever seen. The allowances were
in addition TO others already made by q
Government Board. Mr.. Hayes voted
against the motion to postpone the con.
sideration of the bill; against the motion
to lay ON the table; and in favor OF tne
bill. An allowance was made under this
bill amounting to S250,000, half OF which
went TO Robeson's friend Secor. Logan
and Schenck put through the House a
bill restoring the iron-clad Contmdnche
to its builders by which Sl79 0oo was
taken from the Treasury. The bill was
denounced on the floor by Mr.. SpauldinR
but Hayes voted for it. Seventeen acts
making grants Of public lands to corpo'
rations, passed the House during Hayes
membership, but on only seven were the
Democratic minority able to force a yea
and nav vote. On all seven Mr.. Hayes
is rec orded in favor of these bills, ant
never by speech or vote against them
The amount Of land accruing to the
Central, Union and Pacific road undel
these grants was 35,00O,000 acres an
area almost equal to the whole OF New
England, and the amount of Government
bonds issued to them was S5l.O0O,O0O
All of these bills.were opposed, and mos
of them openly denounced, without Ell
feet on Mr.. Hayes. Mr.. Hayes only
speech was made in explanation of his
favorable action on the Bouligny CLAIM
which had deem adjudged null and voit
by the U. S. Supreme Court twenty-fou
years before. Mr.. Washburne Rep.) O
Wisconsin, offered q bill directing thu
suspension of the law, and said that {
more fraudulent claim was never pre-
scented to Congress.

THE SIN OF"A UNITED SOUTH.

The republican papers are discussing
the fact that tho electoral vote OF the
Southern States will probably be cast
solid for Tilden and Hendricks. They
denounce it as the worst kind Of section
alism and declare, with much vehemence
of language, that it is intolerable and
not 20 be endured. We, too; think 1t
is very much to be regretted that the
majorities of the two political parties
should not be more evenly distributed
through the different States in the Union
But, if it be- claimed that the political
bias of the South is toward the demo-
cratic candidates for the presidency and
vice presidency, is it not also true that
the political bias Of the North and
West is in like manner toward the re-
publican candidates for the same high
offices? Especially is the case with New
England, which constitutes an apt sett-
off to the South. We may and do de-
plore that such is the case, but, granting
that it is SO, it is difficult to see how it
could be be otherwise when the whole
canvass of the republicans has been Sec
tional. All their leading speakers
Morton and Blaine, Logan and lngersol,
Boutwell, and Wheeler, Taft and others
in short almost every republican now
on.the stump, and all journals suppor-
ting the party, are conducting the cam
paign on this sectional basis. The great
erroor of the republicans In their trent
ment of the South Was inbanding the
Lacks against the whites, and in expect
ing by means of the reconstruction law
to retain permanent political control
over that section through the white re-
publicans who were sent there TO or
ganize the blacks into republican leagues
and to bind them by every conceivable
means to support the party. This, with
prescription Of the whites, was a phase
of sectionaism-and of race antagonism
in Additionally watch the republicans
profited, and against which they uttered
!, no protest solong as the scheme worked
well for the party. Now that the whites
have come once more to the front, and
the blacks.have either Joined them to
some extent or have become Disguised
with the loss Of their hard earnings by
the bankruptcy Of the Freedmen's Bank
and, indeed, begun to realize that the
States in which they live cannot be
plundered as they have been by the out
siders without disastrous effects upon
the blacks as we'll as the whites-the
cry Of sectionalism is raised against the
South, whilst the fact is studlously ig-
nored that the whole effort of republi-
cans at this time is to concentrate the
vote Of the North and West on section
al basis.-BaH. Sun.

A Clergymau's Ruse.

LNorrlstOwn tPa) Herald
During his sermon, delivered on Sum-
day morning, 10th inst, in St. Aloysius
Catholic Church, Pottstown, the Rev.
Father Mclaughlin, the pastor, related
how he had become cognizant Of the fact
that some OF the female members of his
congregation were in the habit OF carry
ing on Irritation with strangers in the
streets OF that borough. lie said he never
took statements OF that kind second
handed-he wanted to DO sure OF it, and
in order to make no mistake he disguised
himself
Dressing himself in fashionable style
and fully prepared for anything that
might occur, he slowly rneandered along
n certain portion of High street, where
he had heard the ladies ~ were in the
habit OF prosecuting their dangerous
pastime, and was not long in meeting
number of them. Tic drew from his
pocket his handkerchief, and went
through the signals, which were returned
by the misses, also tho customary cough,
and soon received such assurance from
one Of them that his acquaintance was
desired.
Determining to play his part the best
he could, and make them feel the worst
possible, he so arranged his walk as to
meet directly in front Of gas-light. With
the light shining directly into his face,
he hurried of his disguise, removed his
hat, and, to the utter establishment Of the
girls, there stood Father Mclaughlin
They did not wait for Il second thought
as TO how they should leave the spot,
whether to run or walk, but scampered
away in different directions, only too glad
TO shut from their view that face they
were moment ago so anxious to see.
1t was enough. He knew who they
we're, and during tho relation Of the incl
dent lie said they were in church then,
looking ut him. He followed up his re-
marks with the promise that should any
members OF his church be in attendance
ut the masquerade balls shortly. to be
given in Pottstown, he would know who
they were, and would expose them pub
licly in the church the next Sunday morn
ing.
No scandal should be allowed in his
church, he said, and ii any Of tho mem
bers persisted in attending masquerades
and dancing parties, they should remain
away from their sanctuary.

duty both to. himself and to his patients.
Really Skillful physicians are not 30 numer.
Gus that their virtues need no mention, and
hence the advertisement OF DR.. r. V. Pierce,
Of Buffalo, may well claim the readers at.
tention. DR., Pierce Is q type OF class of
men who obtain success by careful and
well directed efforts, not attempting too
much, or creating false ideas US TO ability.
The only reliable physician in these days
Of complicated disorders and high.preEsure

derstands his can branch of the business.
Such In his line Is DR.. Pierce. For the
benefit Of his readers he has written II
"CommonSensc Medical Adviser" which
is well worth reading by those who need

At the last meeting OF the Jersey City
Prcsbytery letter, in which he express

dismission and letter to accompany it.
At the meeting OF the Prcsbytery in tho

commend Glendcnning to the regard OF
the Presbytcry OF Peoria. The Rev. DR..

That, he said, implied that he was
entitled to confidence. DR.. Edwards did
not think that the Presbytcry ought to
make any such declaration rs that and
the Presbytery, on his motion, substituted
the word care for regard" The ccrti-

which they were assembled. To each

Joseph made his appearance, standing on
the threshold. "Now," cried the wife OF
Potiphar, but her guests, captivated by
the beauty OF the Hebrew, paid no atten-
ton TO what they were doing, and, consc-
quently, cut their fingers. The party was
called before the Judge on the following
morning; every one Of the ladies, save one,
had her wounded hand in the folds Of her
garment, while the one whose hand was
nnhurt declared that she had escaped the
common fate by throwing her knife away
the moment she saw Joseph; and, on being
further pressed with questions, declared
that had she not thrown her knife away
she should have stabbed herself to tho
heart, because she could not bear to look
upon the Hebrew and know that she could

MIR. HASKELL AND HIS HOME SUPPORT

The election of Mr.. Haskell in thi:
District is now conceded by all intelli
gent observers. He has steadily gained
in strength ever since he was nominated
His canvass of the State has been re.
markably successful and has made him
hosts of friends. The Republican party
is thoroughly organized in the various
counties, and in most of them it has been
very fortunate in the selections of its
local tickets, so that the canvass is being
pushed with great vigor and success.
In this county there has been a mark
ed change of sentiment since the cam
paign began. Haskell has steadily gain
ed and Goodin declined. Scores of men
we might almost say hundreds-who
voted for Goodin two years ago, are now
for Haskell. Should this gain continue
and we see no cause to doubt it-Has-
kell's majority may reach 500; and this
is as it should be- Mr.. Haskell deserves
we'll at the hands of his neighbors and
friends. He is one of our own Douglass
county boys, brought up here in our
midst, sharer in all our early perils and
trials, man among us; a square. hon.
est, noble-hearted man. He ought to
receive the unanimous support of all
citizens on local and personal grounds
alone. He will be elected anyhow, but
Douglass county and Lawrence should
turn in now and give him a handsome

the afternoon of the evening they were
to have been here. The Masonic Hall
was crowded and Judge Hanback, made
one of the most effective speeches that
has been delivered in lola during the
campaign. His review of the political
life of Mr.. Tilden was complete, and he
established conclusively that he was an
advocate of and believer in the doctrine
promulgated by Calhoun that the States
were sovereign and above the general
government; that as natural result of
such belief Tiiden was opposed to the
war, refusing in any way to contribute to
its success. And as a reformer Tilden
was shown to be the merest sham.
The Judge also presented in clear
light the meaning of ''solid South in
the support of Tilden, and the spirit that
animated the Democratic party in the
South and the means used by them to
carry these States, closing with an appeal
to all union soldiers to stand by the
principles they had successfully sustain
ed in the field. The Judge is doing good
service for the Republican cause in this
district.

A PLAIN CASE.

If John r. Goodin is elected to Cong.
ress again with what party will he act in
Congress? That is the question. Let
him call himself whatever he pleases here
during the campaign, the main point
really is as to what he will DO after his
election. The Republicans certainly do
not claim him. There is no greenback
or Independent party. Where can he
go? There is no such thing as being in
dependcnt-which virtually means being
nowhere-in body composed exclusive
ly of Democrats and Republicans. He
knows that. So do you, reader. The
natural sequence is that John Il. Goodin
will operate with the Democratic party,
if he is elected again this fall 1t is i'm
possible to misconceive this situation, or
be deceived. He deceived the people
once. He can't do it again.-Paola
