Aspecial dispatch to the Cincinnati Ga

ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. s.
The election here, while in the main it
was quiet, had a deep undercurrent of ex-
citement. Democratic roughs were drunk
en- and insulting. The City Marshal had
made himself particularly conspicuous and
last evening, when Democratic dead-beat
and shoulder-hitter. by the name of Whit
lock, struck an inoffensive and peaceable
colored man, he very promptly arrested the
darkey and let Whitloek go. While he had
the darkey under arrest, the crowd rushed
around the cOmbatants, and among them
was S. S. Learned, a young Republican
against whom it is said the Marshal holds a
grudge. Daugherty, the Marshal, struck
him on the head with his billy and split
his skull open, and he died from his inju-
ries. Learned has always beena quiet and
peacesble citizen, who, by his gentlemanly
demeanor and uniform good department
and character, has gained the respect of the
community. The Marshal is under a sort
of fancy arrest, in charge of a bailiff
Learned leaves a wife and two small chill
dren in comparative want.
Upon receipt of the news of Tilden's
election, the Democrats made night hid
eous. They visited the houses of Col. Rob-
inson, Congressman, and various other
prominent Republicans, and gave them
yells and derisive songs. To-day Camanche
yells are heard, and the Tildenists are wild
in their anguish over the result.

This year the 4th of March, Inaugur-
alton Day, comes on Sunday. Therefore,
the successor of President Grant will be en-
titled to take the oath of office on the 4th
day of March, and to have his term begin
on that day, although it may be Sunday.
The oath is usually administered by the
Chief Justice of the United States, and
this may be done on Sunday. As soon as
the oath is taken the former President
ceases to hold the Office, and his successor
instantly becomes President by operation
of law. The Inauguration ceremony can
take place on the next day, according to
custom. This will have to be the course
taken when President Grants successor
comes to take possession of the office.
There will be no inteTregnatnl, as some have
supposed there might be, and President
Grant will not hold over.

The Democrats tried sharp game in
Philadelphia on Friday night last says the
Pittsburg Telegraph. Rightly inferring
that the State officials in Louisiana, Flori-
da and South Carolina were in communiea-
tion with the President, who was then the
guest of Geo. W. Childs, Esq, of the Led
ger, they procured well-dressed young
man, and sent him to the Office of the At
lantic and Pacific Telegraph company with
a forged order requesting the manager of
the Office to give the bearer my dispatches
to Washington to-day; important that
should have them this evening. and signed
.. S. Grant. The manager was suspicious,
and refused to give up the dispatches un-
till the next morning, requesting the young
man to call at eight o'clock. Saturday
morning, the manager communicated with
the President, aud ascertained that the
note was forgery. There is no end to the
straits these desperate Democrats would go
to to count in the sham Reformer.

y
President Grant is the right man in the
right place. in an emergency like the pres
emf. Beside being soldier, he has the
logged courage and energy to meet viO-
lence with authority-prompt, steady and
persistently. Phil Sheridan was sent to
Louisiana with few companies to render
any assistance needed to secure an honest
count of the vote. and assure those south
ern rebels who, it was known, after driving
honest voters from the polls, would not
hesitate to manipulate and doctor the re-
turns so as to secure the electoral vote of
the State.
Then he foresaw that the presence of a
few companies of troops would have a
wholesome effect in bringing out the vote
of South Carolina. They were sent, and
the result seems to be assured that the
State has been carried by the Republicans,
who were protected in the exercise of their
right of suffrage. The step seemed to have
a talismanic influence, not only upon Re
publicans, but upon the white-liners, rife
and shotgun clubs. They toned down to
the quietness and meekness of lambs, and
their obsequiousness could hardly be avoid
ed, so persistently were their services OBJ
truded upon those who had thus been sent
among them to restrain their lawlessness
and violence, and to improve their man
ners. Grant not only saved the nation by
fighting gallantly in the field, but he saves
it from the Vaccinations of its old enemies
who seek through fraud and violence at the
ballot-bOx to compass its overthrow. These
timely steps have prevented threatened
violence. and no doubt prevented conflict
and the shedding of blood.

The friends of Gov. Hayes will be inter-
ested to know that in all the exciting
scenes that have followed the election, he
has continued his ordinary routine of daily
duties at the Executive Office, greeting all
comers with an equanimity and self-poise
that manifested less personal interest in
the result than his friends showed. For
the past few days he has uniformly ex-
pressed the opinion, based on private and
public dispatches, that the Republican
claim to the electoral vote of South Caroli-
ma, Florida and Louisiana would prove well
founded, but without producing any ap-
pearance ofelation over the result. His
always genial face wears look of satisfac-
ton and quiet self-possession.

TAN PRESIDENTS VETO OF the bill
reducing the salary Of the President
to $4,000 per aanum, is another
Of those inexplicable whimsieahties
30 peculiar to Grant. We do not think
there was really any vital necessity in
Congress reducing the salary from the
amount before fixed; but having
dene it, 1t was still more foolish
for the President to interfere with 1t by
An executive veto. 1t is one Of those
things that belong peculiarly to Congress
TO fix; and just what the President
should not NEEDLE with. when no Con-
stitutional question is involved in rela-
lion to 1t. Whether ii be unjust
TO his successor, or not, is meme
Of his business. Inasmueh as
Grant has abandoned all idea of
being his own successor, we can not at
tribute to him any mercenary motive in
the use Of his veto. But IL it is not that
1t is none the less foolish. We presume
Congress will now unite sufficiently to
pass it by two-thirdsyote, the Presi-
DENTS objections TO the contrary not
withdrawing. By that We shall see
whether Congress really means re-
trenchment, or only buncombe.

THE EMPEROR MANY people, no.
doubt, fancy that rnonarchs like the Bra-
lillian Emperor are always clothed in
purple and fine linen, encased in gold
lace. blazing with jewels and bedecked
with orders cleaning with brilliants.
And yet generally they are the plainest
in appearance OF any around them. A
correspondent tells us how the Emper or
Dom Pedro looked on board ship as he
sailed UP New York Bay. he writes
thus:
"At the head of the gangway, up which
the reporter ciambered, stood an elderly
gentleman with pair Of opera~gl lasses
at his eyes, taking note of everything en-
all sides. He was tall, slightly STOPPING,
with q full gray beard and grsy hair, He
was In rough, sea going clothes, wore q
black silk cap with along, straight peak,
short, broadcloth frock-coat, buttoned
tightly across and close w to the neck,
and surmounted by stock cravat and
standing collar neghyently rumpled.
His whole dress was careless. His face,
(which is fine and sensible one, was
white almost to palenessan and full of eager
Inquiry as he turned it euriously up and
down the bay and at all the new COM
ers in turn. His manner was entirely
matter OF fact. He kept his post at the
ships buiwarks. 70 Mrs. Vanderpoef,
on the little launch beside, he raised his
hat with pleasant smile, and took the
congratulations offered him without any
ado"
As the Emperor was leaving the
crowd at the cathedral where he had at
tended mass on Sunday, and where tht
police had carefully guarded him from
the throng, the Emperor tapped Captain
Allaire upon the shoulder, spoke a kind
ly word, and lifted his hat to him. The
captain smiled and gave the usual sa
lutte, lifting his right hand to the temple
and then throwing it out horizontally as
ii he were trying to cut cash in the air
''Bedad," said locker on, "did yes evel
see the like av it. be gobf An 1mperor
takkin' his hat off to q cop and the col
kapin' his own on." This was followed
by burst OF laughter, mid which Don
| Pedro and his attendants took their de-
parture, and the multitude dispersed
evidently pleased with the fact that they
had looked an unmistakable live Empe
ror full In the face.

marketn shop plan eeald succeed under
any circumstances. We think 1t would
be inadequate to the wants of the eIty
even IL the street markets were abol-
ished. They exist now merely ne make
shifts, as protests, against the inetfi-
cheney Of the present street market sys-
tenn. They merely supply emergencies,
not the steady trade of families gen.
orally.
Nor do we believe that the office and
function Of the hucksters could be sue.
cesslully abolished. The city must have
a class Of middiemen to look after it's
market supplies as regular business.
Reliance upon farmers supplies direct
must fail us; because the farmers are
unable to be regularly in the market;
their field duties at home demand their
attention many months in the year.
There is then no other mode but to
continue the plan of public markets; but
to be conducted upon a very different
plan of arrangement as to their details.
What may have answered for Cincinnati
when village, will not do for her now
as city. We need good market houses
buildings that are in no sense like the
present unsightly sheds, cold, dark,
damp, and dirty. There should be space
enough allotted to each seller to show
and properly care for his goods, whether
they be meats, vegetables, or groceries
They should be arranged in depart
ments; SO that the buyers could know al
once, and without miles travel, what
the market contained of any desired
class Of supplies in any given depart.
ment.
Through we'll ordered markets like
these we have seen elegant ladies pass
ing ana ordering their table supplies as
pleasantly and comfortably as they
would pass through their own kitchens
at home. Here, ladies, s,who would gladly
do the ordering of market supplies, are
actually driven from the markets by the
rudeness incident to the condition o.
things already alluded to. In clean, well
arranged market houses, the necessity
would arise for the market people them
selves to observe a greater degree O
personal cleanliness while serving theil
customers, than is now commonly seer
among them. Their surroundings give
the cue to their own appearance an6
habits ii this regard.
The Mayor did well to call the atten
tion of Council to this very important
matter; and we trust that it may be the
first step in the improvement of this neg
lected subject.
