WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.


ASHINGToN, ID. C., Oct. IL, 1876.
DEAR WIG ashington has not been
so hilarious fer long time as it was during
two days of the past week. AS a general
thing We do not give way to sensations,
possessing to IN eminent degree that oiiir
tHSJHftthcG paramount to the elegant "ie
pose " SO assiduously cultivated IN aristo-
cratic circles, that, always expecting some
thing to happen, things that would make
other cities feel torn up in their mind
glance harmleSsly over us. On last Tues
day night, however, things were really
lively and exciting. The streets were filed
with curious pedestrians going from pillar
to post i'll search of the latest dispatches.
The telegraph offices were surrounded by
crowds to : late hour: the various head
quarters We're the scenes of anxious wait
ing, and Newspaper Row was the centre of
attraction. But when the dispatches began
to come in, the truly " Dimycratic," who
had been going around in a compacent
manner, perfectly satisfied that no "cor-
rupt " and wicked Republican could carry
single county in either Indiana or Ohio,
put their " honest hands on their Gre
tormatory heads, and silently asked the
conundrum, what had they done to be so
greatly deceived? At the Democratic head
quarters the dispatches were stopped, and
the crowd assembled treated to a series of
Jack-o' lantern pictures that amused the
innocent Democracy and saved good deal
of square orthodox Democratic profanity.
But now, that a good deal of the first brush
of excitement following the elections in
Indiana and Ohio is over, and men have
had time to weigh the results with some
degree of fairness, it does not require much
judgment to discover that they have been
exceedingly damaging to the Democracy.
Starting with Ohio, where every trick and
device known to politics was employed,
AIDED by barrels OF money, to carry
the State Tor the Democracy, the Republl-
,.ior;tv h,,t oloo,aa ,l;r,oa,, a,,. af ..,a,,t,
members Of Congress. making a cain of six.
and these among some of the most import
ant districts in the State, thereby coustitut-
ing an element of strength in National
sense more valuable than the election of the
State ticket by twice the present majority.
In Indiana. the accented battle ground
of the Democracy, the result is lust as
damaging, Notwithstanding they have saved
