Hamilton county, including Cincin-
natl, complete, gives Foster $3.50 ma
jority. Williams, lowest on ticket for
lower house, has $50 over Blair, highest
Democrat.
The Republicans will have a majority
of two in the Senate, and from ten to
fifteen in House, sure. Full returns will
probably increase the majority.
Fosters majority cannot fall short of
10000, and will probably exceed go
900.
Later returns from Iowa increase the
Republican majority on the State ticket,
which is now estimated at 30, 900 with
an extreme likelihood that it will reach
$4,000.
Majority in Legislature on joint bal
lot will be 10 to IS. B.

On the LIST page Of the VIRaINIAN to-day
will be found an interesting account of the
movement of the troops against the Ute In
dams in Colorado. Since then Gen. Merritt,
after giving aid to Capt. Payne's command
on Mill Creek, COL, and moving it away
from the stencil of the decaying carcasses OF
the animals, attacked the Utes and forced
his way to the White River Agency. He
found all the buildings burned and the dead
bodies of Agent Meeker and all the en-
ployes OF the agency. but could find no trace
Of the women. 1t is believed they have been
taken by the savages as hostages. as they
have been seen by other parties since Agent
Meekcr was killed. The bodies of the killed
were naked and muti.ated. Chief Ouray has
commanded the Utes to cease fighting, and
there is reason to believe they will obey, at
least until they get favorable opportunity
to murder few more whites with I'M
punity.

OF his legal claim for interest on this read
justedpr principal. sustained by the adjudica.
ton OF the highest State Court, to cores
pond with therecognized ability of the State
to pay. We have been met upon our own
terms and every practical requiem emit con-
coded. AS the people have demanded the
creditor has surrendered, until the extrem-
est requirements have been formulated into
law, upon more favorable conditions than
we ever expected.
We ask our readers to run over the past
and back to the discussion of this ques-
ton, and see whether the creditors
have not yielded to every demand, substan-
TALLY, that has been made upon them? Is
it right, is it honorable, when these con-
cessions have been made in the manner and
to the extent we asked them, that the agi-
ton should be kept up and additional con-
cessions required? The debt has been re-
duced, by this process of curtailment, until
ithas touched the point that is covered by
our demonstrated ability topay. The strong
estargument ever used by the Re-adjusters
is thus practically met. We cannot plead
inability, for we have the recognized fact
to dispute such plea. We cannot plead
that the debt is not just, for it has been
recognized as just, as now presented at
least, by every Legislature that has met
since 1865, and by every Virginian who has
studied the subject and acquainted himself
with its history. Being just debt and
our ability to pay itelearly ascertained, how
can any fair minded man dispute its
claims The common honesty Of the peo-
pie, we are sure, will not further question
either their duty or theirl ability in this
matter, and will vindicate their own integ-
rity and motives in the verdict that will be
recorded on the 4th of November next.
