thus:-In the course Of a few years, Russia
will have Constantinople, the greatest part
Of Turkey, and all Greece. This hold to
be as certain as if it had already taken

her Seryia and other provinces bordering

not avail. France, England and Prussia

Says the Cincinnati Commercial:
Were it not for the facts that the to-
tai vote OF Ohio falls off over 100000
this year, and that $4,000 votes were
fooled away on the Prohibition, Green
back, and Workingmen's tickets,
there might be reason 10 justify the
assumption that the Republican par
ty in Ohio has gone to the demnition
bow-wows, and that the State has
been handed over 10 the Democrats,
their heirs and assigns, for all time to
come. The vote cast for Bishop
Oemocrat) is 81 ,037 less than was
cast for WILLIAM ALLEN Oemocrat) in
1876, and 1881 less than were cast
for WILLIAM BELL Democrat), for
Secretsry OF State, in 1876, and 62.946
less than TILDEN (DemocraD received
In Ohio in 1876. The vote of wEsr
Republican, is 91,351 less than Ohio
cast for HAYES for President. Deduc-
ting the entire vote east for fhe irreg-
ulars, BQND. THOMPSON, and JOHNSON,
from the difference between the votes
OF WEST and HAYES, we have 57,020
votes left, or 1880 more than the
plurality of BISHOP. The difference
in the falling off of the vote OF WEST
from that of HAYES, and the falling off
of the vote of BISHOP from that of
TnDEN, is 28,404. The total stay at
home vote as compared with October,
1876, is 90. 157, and as compared with
November, 1876. is 12i,S66.' And yet

The Frankfort Crescent claims
more temperance men to the square
foot, then any other printing office In
the state. Every man from the editor
down to the devil wears the blue rib
bon.-Warsa,o Republican.
This statement Is almost as hard to
swallow as snake story. The idea
is preposterous that democratic
paper should have such temperance
surroundings. But the Crescent is an
anomaly in democratic journalism
Its editor is Methodist preacher
Now don't charge that this story
sounds fishy, for it is the solemn
truth.

There are Journals all over the
country who have frequently repeated
most infamous stories concerning the
private life of Senator Morton The
same papers cannot help paying the
highest tribute to his public worth
and private virtues to-day; because
they know the man and occasion
justifes them in so doing. This is a
severe comment on the vandal spirit
which induces newspapers to viliify
a man who happens to be on the
other side of politics. The papers
who eulogize Morton dead knew they
lied when they slandered Morton
alive. 1t is best to deal justly by
friends and foes

The Democrat notes that a society
scandal in this city is attracting con-
siderable attention and hints that
some Of the most damnable villain
les" have been attempted, "ever
heard Of ia any civilized community"
A publication Of the facts are prom
ised. Such state OF facts as you
indicate, Bro. Dan, should not come
under the head of scandal. Such a
name is too tame, and il the things
you hint at can be authenticated, by
all means give US the name of the
criminal. The public should be
warned OF the existence OF such a
character. And that without delay,
for it needs to be put on the guard
for its own protection.

On Tuesday Governor Williams
appointed Hon. ID. W. voorhees, to
the vacant Senatorship. Mr.. Voor-
hees was officially informed OF the
fact and at once accepted the APP
pointment. We have no fault TO
find with the appointment. Mr..
Voorhees, has the virtue OF being a
consistent democrat, which cannot
be said of Hendricks, or many other
OF the Iudianian democrats. They
are demagogues. Mr.. Voorhees, will
reflect credit in our State because he
is a man OF considerable ability, and
as the appointment must go to a
democrat he is our choice among
democrats.

Forty out of seventy-nine appli :
cants for teachers license In Kokomo
were rejected. 1t is a lictle difficult
to understand why such a large pro-
portion was refused; unless licenses
have heretofore been granted indis-
criminately, and the superintendent
has suddenly come down to business
principles, and is giving license to
such as are deserving. A lax system
OF licensing is the only thing that
would be likely to induce so many
persons to apply.

Letter From Washington.


WASHINGTON, ID. @. Nov. 8, 1877.
Little has been accomplished as
yet In legislation, and less will lie
done we fear between this and Nov.
18th, when likely both Houses will
adjourn for Thanksgiving. The flood
OF bills with which the House was
deluged on Monday exceeded any
thing in the history OF Congress, but
beyond the introduction OF bills the
average Congressman has. as yet. de-
veloped no legislative ability what
ever. Just think OF 800 bills being
introduced in one day, and that by
the immaculate democracy which
roars so loudly that no more steals
shall be made from tho Treasury
through laws conveying fraud and
theft. Adjournment has been the rule
so far. Sam Cox is terribly indig-
nant over his disposal from the chair
manship Of the Committee on Bank
ing. It Is a shame that Mr.. Randall
should not recognize Mr.. Cox's won
derful. financial ability. II the deg
relation be intended as piece of
wit on Mr.. Randall's part we presume
Mr.. Cox's fine sense. OF humor will
enable him to appreciate it as an
other insertion in his next book on
that subject.
The death OF Senator Morton casts
gloom over political circles here
not seen or felt since the death OF
Thad Stevens. His pre-eminent abil-
ity is conceded by al who knew him
and none more freely admit it than
the democrats. While they gain
much by his death, yet they are more
pleased at his absence from the Sen
ate. than over the consequent gain
OF one Senator by them. He was the
lion in their path, and no one in the
Senate was as much feared by them
as he. While he possessed little OF
that personal magnetism or orator.
cal grace through which Henry Clay
could move the masses, yet his great
intellectual force, courage and vigor.
was such as to make him instinct
lively leader, and there has been no
colleague OF his in the Senate whose
hand and impress has been as great
upon past legislation es his. Since
1864 he has been a power In the SEN
ate which shaped and directed our
reconstruction measures. He never
shirked a contest whether the odds
were for or against him, and whether
crushing Trumbull by chalSing his
back with "Barkis is willin," or hold
ing Schurz at bay on the French
Arms debate, he was always lin his
element of successful leadership. His
plain unvarnished language and tell
ing arguments were attractive and
almost acknowledgement more so
than the rounded periods of more
polished intellects, AID those who
relish the intellectual contests OF the
Senate will sadly miss him in the
future for the "Noblest Roman OF
them all" has laid him down TO sleep.
1t is bitter reflection indeed that
Voorhees, must follow our gifted Nor
ton. That one whose only talent is
for saving criminal from his just
deserts should be the successor ia
STATE sman whose powers enabled him
to carry nation through the evils
and woes of. great civil war. But,
Turk like, Goods will be DONE"
