The returns from Indiana show that
the greater portion of BlueJ cans Williams
majority was obtained from counties
bordering on Kentucky which, hereto
fore, never gave more than 2,500 majorityi
this year they gave 5000. This looks
little as it the reform Democracy 81
Kentucky gave their friends lift IN
Indiana.
While the result Of the late elections
Is not all We could ask, yet there y
nothing Giscouraging to Republicans TO
be found in them. We have gained sever
al Congressman both Indiana and
Ohio, and while Ohio is sure FIR Hayes,
Indiana is considered almost as sure fol-
the Republican Ticket in November.
There were existing peculiar local issues
In that State which carried the election
for Williams; these issues will not enter
into the canvass in November, and it is
thought by those competens to judge
that that State will give Hayes and
Wheeler respectable majority.
South Caroline again comes to the
front as the most troublesome State in
the Union. Tiers exists within her
borders numberous armed organizations,
which have already done most effective
service in neutrality-suspicious. msjorities
and populating grave yards. Governor
Chamberlain issued his proclamation
ordering these bands to disorganize, and
as they have failed to obey the proclan1a-
ton the Governor has called upon the
President for United States troops to
protect innocent citizens and dlsband
these deSperadoes. AS the call is made
strictly in compliance with the pro-
visions of the Constitution, the President
will, undoubtedly, hasten to turnish the
desired aid Wade Hampton. the
Democratic candidate for Governor. and
some Democratic Judges OF the Supreme
Court of that State claim that the Gov
enor is interfering with Democratic
rights-the eight to shout colered Re-

fully established that he was not only
opposed to the war but was opposed in

Selfish and tyrennical in his disposition,
his hatred followed his victim beyond

relative. AS an evidence OF this we
subioin the following statement OF Lieut.
Miller frona .the Press and Standard
published in Sullivan County, Penn.
Lieut.. Miller is gentleman Of veracitv,
and can he implicitly relied upon. The
following is Mr.. MilIer's statement:
SOLVER S. Tilden was the nephew OF
Samuel j. Tilden. He mustered into
service on the 18th of June, 1861 as
Captain of Co. E. 18th Regt., N. 7. Vols.
Samuel j. g'ilden opposed his going into
tue war and used every effort TO prevent
him. Failing in doing this he insured
his life for 81 600 to be paid to his family

children.

aOlIver S. Tilden was killed ~ the
battle of Chantilla, Sept. /, 1862. At
the request OF his wife his body was
disinterred, enbelmed and sent by ex-
press to me. The cost of this was $120.
The officers of his regiment raised $50
and sent the body to me, writing at the
same time that his uncle Samuel j. Tilden
would pay the remainder. After the

told him the circumstances. He was
very indignant. said that he had done all
he intended to for Oliver, that ne vent
into the war against his wishes, and thai
be would not be liable for any expenses.
told him Mrs. Tilden had aeked for the
body, and that it was in response TO that
request that the oficers had forwarded
it. Mr.. Tilden said that he did not care,
that he was not responsible for that. L
then asked him ifhe wished me to pay
the forty dollars. He replied that |

money out of my own pocket, not wish

Tilden for it, who only had the thousand
dollars for her support. The money has
never been paid tome.
