ecniive Committee:
To THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATEs-Frllow citizens We con-
gratulate you as pMfiots and par
takers with rs in the common drs
tiny Of Americ.sn frecmen upon the
results of the October State elec-
fiona We rel ice in the victory
~asich the peoples ballot have be
slowed Rp0n the friends of reform
in the Valley of the Ohio, where
tbe Republican hosts have had
overwhelming asrendaucy in every
Presidential election since 1856.
We rejoice in the assurances
these elections convey that your
ballots will bcstow decisive majori
tics 10 the allied forces of DemOc-
tacy and reform in the November
elections throughout the Union !;
l'ut we rejoice not az partisans. We
rrjoicc with you as fellow citizens,
aud wAea the decision ef this week
OF l ,OOO, 900 voters along the Valley
of the Ohio shall lie ratified next
month by the fiat of 100000 80
ters throughout the whole Republic
shall still r.joice, chiefly for the
reason THAT not one of it's citizens
can miss an equal skare with Us,
Utiu are Democrats, in the politi
cal peace and good will which viii
then and there be established
among ail sections, races, classes
aud conditions of mrn, aud in the
pros, Gritty of which pol tical peace,
based OH equal rights and fraternal
good will, is tire frat condition.
Upon the three States of West
Virginia, Ohio ana Indiana were
concentrated all the influence OF
tile Administrative, all their effJris
and all the vast sums Of money
fseced from loo, 900 office holders of
the party i'm power. These Were
fearful odds, not again to be con
tended against SO concentra:ei, for
in the November election the con
test will be in every one of tie 3S
States upon the same day. Never
theIess, against those olds the
Democrats and reformers of West
Virginia aud Indiana have been
victorious, aud in Ohio they have
nil but rescued a State hitherto
deemed hopeless, and have created
M assurance of victory in NoCcm

National Democratic Conmittec,
to congratulate the people CT the
Union upon this victory i'll the first

VICTIM OF A GRAND JURY.
A dispatch to night states that
the Grand Jury OF Ab5efi;le county
has presented the Governor for de
flaming the county in his published
letters and proeiaasation, and the
Judge has decided to hold the
Court continuously open for the
purpose of hearing all charges of

NEGRO INTcLERANCE
An incident occurred il he inwrr
party of this cvrsuty to-day which
fairly illustrates the Intense spirit
OF intolerance which prevails
anong the negro followers Of Pit
tersOH and Chasl beriiiin, and which
fin'is expression almost daily in
SOME act of vio4ence committed up
on the person of the unlucky wight
who darcs sever his ,nncction with
the ruling party in the State. A
negro named John Robinson, a few
lays age publicly announced his
intention o: supporting the Demo
cratic ticket and 1T once became the
object OF threats of various kinds
on the part of his late coIored friends
OF the Chamberlain party. He
STOOD cut manfuliy, however, and
to day was ablsed and threatened
for his 'urse by cJiored Rerub-
iiran, who finally pointed his argu-
7nents with knock down, il. fiicted
with heavy piece Of iron. In the
further coulse of the fight, however,
Richardson, who was ac ing on the
defensive, scize.l a biyonet and ran
his assailant through the body,
killing him instantly. Richardson
snrIpnttracd himself to
tue authorities, as much for his own
protection from furthcr violence as
from desire 10 conform to the
Law.

OAK GROVE VS.. PERRY's CASTLE Hamlin is the
name Ofa woman who runsthat bad castle known
as the "Oak Grove" south Of town. Mrs Perry is
also proprietress of another den of bad repute, a
short distance this side Of the Grove There seems
to exist much envy between these two amazonian
creatures. On last Thursday Mrs Perry stuck
her nose inside the door of Mayor Braden's pri -
vate office and beCkOned him out into the hall; he
went, and in an excited manner Mrs. Perry be.
gan to tell her tale Of trouble, She was accom-
panied by young man, one of those unfortunate
young men who frequent deHs like Perry's and
become so lost to all self respect as to become tools
and supes. She said;
Mrs. Hamini is desperate woman, and lures
rougks into her place, and gives them all the free
beer they can drink, on condition they will come
up and stone my house"
Here Mrs. Perry brought the young man into
play she said to him:
Hand me that dornick-" And the young man
handed forth a bulhead stone weighing four to
six pounds, and as she balanced it in her hand
she continued
There, Mr.. Mayre, that stone came crashing
through my window last night. See these green
spots or it? Well, that's where it busted through
the shutters and came bouncin through the
room" Then, handing thestone back, she reached
under her shawl and pulled out heavy fence
picket.
"D'ye see that palm? Well, they hammered in
my door with that club; and l want the thing
stopped. That id Mrs. Hamlin gets EN- drunk
and puts em up to it, and want something done
with her right away"
The Mayor then informed her 1t was of no use
to complain to him, as both dives are out of the
corporation and beyond his jurisdiction, but
he added "if you two women will move your
places into town for about a week. I'll see how
much the law will let me do in the matter"
And Madam Perry went away

ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY.-On last Friday two
women moved into house on Lawrence avenue,
Fourth ward We have not learned their names,
but they exchangeda farm in Defiance county for
the property on Lawrence avenue, and moved
into their new home last Friday. 1t was said,
among neighbors, that they had received $1,000 or
5000 in money on the exchange, and this rumor
doubtless got out somehow. On Sunday night in
the neighborhood of ten o'clock, these two women
were alarmed by knock at their front door, and
one OF them put her head out of an upper window
and asked who was there and what was wanted,
and one OF two men asked for man named Rob.
