The Elections.

The latest returns from the elections
indicate that Republicans and II Dem
ocrats were elected 10 Congress from
Ohio. The Republicans carry the State
by about 700. As this State went
Democratic last year by 20, 900 maiori-
ty, and as the fight was made this year
entirely on the finance question, this is
certainly great victory for honest
money.
In Indiana, 6 Republicans. Demo-
Gratis, and l National were elected TO
Congress. The State goes Democratic,
with legislative majority Oh joint bal

Iowa elected Republican and 9

Congressman.

The Branded Brow.

The cry of fraud that has been per-
sisicrll, kept up by the Democratic par
~, since the Inauguration OF President
IIa,es, is suddenly checked by the re-
cent disclosures made By the New York
Tribune. In its publication OF the CT
pher dispatches that passed between
Mr.. Tilden and his agents in Florida,
relative 10 purchasing the electoral vote
OF that State. the evidence of attempted
fraud has been made SO plain, that biz
siaunchest supporters. apparently. do
not dare to rise up in his defence.
We can only present TO our readers a
very small portion of the great number
of dispatches published by the Tribune,
but enough is given TO show that the at
tempt was made, and only failed through
the delay consequent on haggling over
the amount TO be llaid. Had Mr.. Tildcn
acted with promptness, or had his tele.
gram accepting the proposition been I'M
derstood by his agents when first receiv
ed, it is probsbc that we should have
had in the Presidential Chair. man
guilty OF the greatest fraud, the deepest
villsiny, ever perpetrated on the Amer
lean people. The course that he pur-
sued in Florida was cmphatically ''still
hunt"
Ii does not appear that Hon. Abram
:. Hewitt. Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, had any knowl-
edge of the meaning OF the cipher dis
patches passing between Mr.. Tilden and
his agents, nor did one agent know
what were the instructions OF the other
agents, if we except Mr., ManIon Mar
bic. whose name appears TO be mos; in
timately connected with the affair.
The Tribune publishes the dispatches
in cipher. followed with the translation.
aud also gives the kew BY which the
translation was obtained. making il so
clear that anyone is able. having the
key, TO translate the cipher for himself
1t is not supposable that Mr.. Tilden
did not know of the transaction. a. the
dispatches were received and answered
from his residence. and by his nephew.

that the dispatches addressed 10 him.

on his part, of what they contained.
The Publication has created great ex-
element. and the universal verdict
seems 10 be that all who were in any way
connected with the affair, are politically
dead. The Tribune still has in reserve
the South Carolina dispatches, which, it
claims are more damaging 10 Tilden
than even those OF Florida.
No reply has yet been attempted by
those who are implicated, and the i'm
preston grows stronger each day, that
no tenable defence can be made.

On Monday night at II O'Clock seven or

Early In the day a teles ram was sent to
Evansville where many leading citizens
were attending the United States Court,
and II WAS rumored that the Governor had
determined TO send the Evansville Rifles
and the Light Guard militia. This put the
mob In a frenzy and 200 men, well armed,
were stationed at the depo, to prevent the
militia leaving the cars. cannon was
brought out by the rest of the mob and
planted in front of the Court House facing
the street TO the depot. As the militia did
not come, the excitement on that score
subsidized, though the armed mob kept their
position in front of the Jail all day.
At 10 o'clock Wednesday evening 100
masked men fired upon the officers
around the jail and entered the place by
means Of sledge hammers ana crowbsrs
and gained access u the prisoners. the

Comparatively few of the Green

daft on the currency question and are
openly supporters Of fiat money. The
majority are DESTROYS of practically
unlimited Issue of the greenback in its
present form by the general govern
ment. Except for the Resumption Act g.
the greenbsck is simply promise to

debt with II is only able to do SO be-
cause of the faith of the man who ac-
cepts it that the promise it contains will
Be performed. If this faith is weaken
ed, the value is deprecated, and wheE
faith ceases, it is of no more value than
any other piece of paper of similar d.
mansions. On such currency, and with
out the promise of resumption. for they
demand the repeal Of that Act. The
Greenbackers would risk the prosperit,
of this country.
On the other hand, the believer in
"Honest Money" is not content with .
simple promise TO pay. He believes il

but payment in full by virtue of its
intrinsic value. 1t is the old and we'll

Why are fat people always complaining,
asks some one who eniertains the populsr
though erroneous notion that health is synony-
nous with fat. Fat people complain becaus &c
they are diseased. Obesity is an abnormal
condition OF the system, in which ssccharine
and oieaginous elements of the food are assim-
Hated to the partial exclusion OF the muscle
forming and brain-produceing elements. In
proof Of this, il is only necessary to assert the
well-known fact that excessively fat people
are never strong. and seldom distinguished Tor
mental powers or activity. Besides. they are
and they are the frequent victims of govt.
