ELECTION NoTEs.-News in the last
papers received before going to press
show that Hancock carried the "solid
South" California, Nevada, New Jersey
and probably Oregon and that he will
receive 1856 electoral votes. Garfield
carried all the balance, and will receive
213 electoral votes. If Hancock had
carried New York, he would have been
elected. The next congress will be close,
no party probably having a majority,
and the Greenbackers holding the bal
ance of power. This State will give
$4,000 or 80 900 for Hancock; but Darrall
Republican has beat Billin for Congress
in the third district. We have not yet
heard the result in this district, but
presume Robertson is elected.

Legislature had assembled and organized. Since
that time all the forces Of the police and military
have been under the control of the Republican
organization without the presence Of any force to
oppose them, and without any just grounds for
imposing upon the credullty of the people. The
lawful Government OF the State has been exclud
ed from the State House through military uBur-
patton. The State House is at the present time
hlled with armed men, a Calling gun covers the
entrance. and the State is subject to an expense
Of thousands OF dollars daily for the purpose Of
maintaining this military show. II is proper that
our people should consider these matters, and
whether or not they are willing to Countenance
and support such high.handed outrages upon
their liberties. Are they ready and willing to
yield their rights as freemen and become slaves
to forces which are thus burdenlng them with
taxation, and undermining and destroying their
free institutions. have no fear but that the
honest and intelligent sentiment Of our citizens
will not countenance this military usurpanon,
and sustain the legal Government in It's efforts to
restore peace and order and promote the welfare
Of the State.

An ExcItIng Scene m MIssonrl

st. Louis, Jan. 2S-A special from Delaesus, st.
Francis county, Mo-, to the St Louis Republican
says Charles H, Hardin was hanged there to-day
for numbering Robert Ferguson at locality
called Hog Eye, on the night OF the 26th Of last
October The culprit was taken from the Jail at
O'Clock, conveyed to the scsffold by the officers,
who had great difficulty in keeping back the
crowd present, After the usual prayer by the
spiritual adviser, Hardin made an appeal, in
which he asked that God might guide his steps,
said he was thankful he had heart to forgive
and hoped to be crowned at ais makers right
hand. He then spoke nearly an hour to the
crowd, admitting he committed the murder, but
claimed several witnesses had treated him un-
Justly In their testimony. He also advised young
men to pray to God that he might assist them In
destroying their wild oats before sowing them
The moose was then adjusted and the trap
sprung, but the fall did not break the wretched
mans neck, and 1t was 35 minutes before the
physicians pronounced life extinct. Fully 5000
people witnessed the execution, great numbers
Of them coming from adjoining counties The
wife of the murdered man was also present, and
viewed the scene with evident satisfaction.-
Hardin and Ferguson were travelling together,
both having teams, and when at the locality
named, in the dead Of night, while Ferguson was
asleep with his little son, four years old, folded
In his arms, Hardin stole upon him and cleft his
head open with an ak. Hethen robbed the body
Of his victim of $500, took his son and team and
started for Kentucky, where he was captured.

AND SETTLES THE ENQUIRER's
ASSAULTS.

Washington, Jan. 26.-In view Of what is de.
clared by sergeantat.Arms Thompson miSrep.
resentation concerning his action with reference
to the holding Of the Ohio State Democratic
Convention, he has written the following:
washington, D. c. January 26, 1SSO,-EDIToR
ENQUIRER-While l seldom pay any attention to
newspaper paragraphs personal to myself, deem
II my duty to say once for ALL that the statements
which have appeared in your paper and ether
Democratic journals in the State, that am seek.
ing to override the party In the selection Of del
egates at.laTge to the National Convention, arc
without foundation In every particular, and
wholly untrue. The question Of postponing the
State Convention until after the meeting Of tho
National Convention was not originated By mo-
nor did ever hear Of It before 1t was raised In
the Committee; and had no knowledge that
any such proposition would be brought up for &C.
tIon at our meeting. II has been stated that some
OF the members Of the Committee had no notice
Of the meeting. OF this have no personal
knowledge. The Secretary OF the Committee,
Gen, Nelly, was directed to send out the notices
TO the members and he informed me that he had
done 80. did not write to any member Of the
Committee on the subject Of the meeting, or any
business that might be considered by It, As to
proxies, Mr. Jones, Of Athens, gave his to Mr. Nc.
Kinney, and &r Adams, Of Lake, sent his in
blank to me, asking me to have some one repre-.
sent him, whereupon the name Of Mr. oRgan
was inserted, and accepted by the Committee,
The resolution postponing the meeting Of the
Stale Convention was passed unanimously. The
members of the Committee had but one object in
view, and that was to promote the welfare and
success Of the party in the State and country. II
It Is found, when the Committee meet again, that
the interests of the party will be better subserved
by holding State Convention for the selection
of delegates 10 the National Convention and the
nomination OF State ticket at an earlier date
than contemplated by the recent action Of the
Committee, will cheerfully support motion to
reconsider such action, and vote for holding the
Convention before the assembling OF the National
Convention. JOHN @ THOMPSON,
Chairman Democratic State Committee"
