Republican Congratulations.

Strange how differently people view the
same event. Here is what Chairman Hub
bell thinks of Tuesdays victories. His
views do not accord with Chairman Barnums,
but then the latter may be prejudiced or
misinformed. In the matter of mules and
"steel rails" we would defer to Mr.. Bar
NUNS judgment. Upon the business in ques-
ton, we incline to side with Mr. Hubbell:
To The Republican rioters Of the United States -
We have met the enemy and they are ours From
Oregon, from Rhode Island from Vermont from
Connecticut have come recent voices bearing no
uncertain sound, but booming and ringing with
the notes OF the Republican victory. And now
Ohio gives us at least 25,0O0 popular majority,
and sixteen of her twenty congressional districts,
and Indiana giving from 5000 to 5000 majority,
probably nine OF her thirteen congressman and
her legislature, with its certain promise Of Re-
publican United States senator, join their SWELL
ing voices with these shouts Of triumph, and
seem to make our coming victory sure. The
vote of Tuesday is due to fear of Democratic as
tendency, of solid southern domination, of the
ruin to our industries which would follow Demo-
cratic free-trade experiments of the disasters u
business and to laboring and to other Interests
which would follow change Of government
when all is prosperous now. 1t means, also a
united north against vindictive solid south. We
have pierced the enemy's center, but we mus,
not sleep on our arms. We must charge along
the whole line and rout him, horse, foot and
dragons. Republic ms, remember that this is the
last ditch of the solid south, and the desperation
OF despair is not TO be despised Stand by youl
colors rest not for an instant. Sustain youI
committees in the fight for doubtful districts; be
vigilant, aggressive, pressing the enemy in the
front, in the rear aud on the TANKS, and do moi
cease your efforts until complete and over
wheming victory in November shall crown them
with the assurance Of Republican ascendency, and
that freedom, peace and prosperity which will
surely accompany 1t. j. A. HUBBELL
Chairman Republican Congressional Committee.

The Omnipresent Curse.

Mr.. Thomas Hughes, the founder of the
new English colony at Rugby, Tennessee,
says he has found the most cordial greeting
in his new location, and that none of the
dire calamities predicted by his northern
friends have thus far been realized. We see
little reason for such predictions when we
remember that Scott county, in which Rugby
is located, voted in the last gubernatorial
election three hundred and twenty-one Re-
publican to nine Democratic. OF course
there is nothing like intimidation in that
region, nor is there, as rule, in all East
Tennessee. But even this favored region is
not free from the more insidiou' curse of
rum, and the new colony has had its first
struggle with this allpervading evil. The
assault has come early, like the attack Of
the serpents upon the infant Hercules in his
cradle-and the infant colony dealt with the
monster as boldly and promptly, and we
trust as effectually, as did Hercules when he
grasped the ugly reptiles and strangled them.
just how the attack was made, and how met,
is told in the following extract from let
ter of Mrs. Hughes to the London Spectator
The drink question has reared its balefu head
here, as 1t seems to do all over the world. The
various works had gone on In peace till the last
ten days, when two young natives toted over
some barrels OF whiskey, and preached them in a
shanty, on a small lot OF No mans land in the
woods, some two miles hence. Since then there
has been no peace for the manager, First, a la
borer or two was suddenly missing from his work
on the road then, mechanic became incompe-
tent here and there, on the hotel or at the saw-
mills; till on Saturday last the crisis came, and
some twenty men got drunk and gambed all
through Sunday, getting very near free fight in
the end, and on Monday half the work collapsed

These mystic numerals appear like a
spirit of prophecy everywhere, on rocks and
trees, on fences and walls, on doorposts and
lintels, especially of Republican dwellings.
What mean these mysterious characters
They seem to have some political signiti-
canoe. Reliable Daniels say they are sort
of modern Meme, Tekel, Upharsin, spoken
in this mysterious way to the Democratic
party instead of by the lips of living
prophet. They are interpreted to mean
that, because Of its sins against the human
race, 800 generations of articulate speaking
beings must rise and pass away before the
Democracy will be released from the political
purgatory to which they descended in blood
and treason twenty years ago. 800 genera
tions must pass away in wandering along the
Stygian banks before old Charon will ferry
them over. Till that period has passed. SO
say intelligent and well-informed oracles, il
will be useless to telegraph for more
mules the grim old boatman recognizes
only Pluto's passes on his line of steamers
1t is useless to try to run competing line,-
no pilot but Charon can navigate those
waters. 1t is vain to think of bridging the
stream and running line of railway over
to the shores where repose the dead,-no

Honor TO Whom Honor.

The magnificent result proves conclu-
sively that no state was ever better
worked than Indiana 1t is said that John
c. New, chairman of the state committee,
gave three months of unremitting labor to
the canvass. AS no man knows the state
tell upon the result. Every election district
was infinitely canvassed twice, and the
preference and purpose of every elector was
known with almost positive certainty a
fortnight before the 18th. Mr.. New had as
his aids men of like knowledge and zeal,
and they carried out every order with
prompt and hearty enthusiasm. But this
was not all. They were cheered on and en-
couraged from the first by the evident set of
the tide.
The New York Tribune makes reference
to others so appropriately and justly that we
gladly endorse its deserved commentator :;
Honor is due, too, to General Grant and
Senator Conkling. They have rendered ad-
mirable service to the Republican cause.
The short letters and speeches of the ex-
president and the elaborate addresses of the
senator have not been without effect in this
contest, and the victorious Republicans of
Ohio aud Indiana will not fail to send
hearty thanks to those staunch and sterling
Republicans from whom they differed at
Chicago, but whose earnest work has done
SO much to insure the victory. The great
confidence of his friends in General Grant,
and their admiration for him, are shared to-
day by thousands who were opposed to his
nomination last summer; and the west,
knowing Roscoe Conkling better, can under
stand to-day the hold he has upon his sup
porters in New York"

Gettysburg.

The present campaign is political dram
atization of the war of the rebellion. Each
party tacitly comedies by its course and its
speech that the contest was bred in the same
blood that blazed into martial strife in 1861.
The strongest SMILES of political speakers
and writers are drawn from the march and
conflict of armies. The signal battles Of the
great rebellion, and the illustrious generals
that developed out of it, are natural points
for striking comparisons, and tempting mag
azines of powerful political stimulus and in
spiration to mighty efforts. Upon the Re
publican side the course of events in the
great civil war has been strikingly par.
alleled by the incidents of the campaign,
and the comparisons with those events char
acterized by wonderful felicity and truth
fulness. The savage howl over Ohio and
forth to his discounted hosts, besides feebly
suggesting to the mind Satans address to
the rebellious and panic.strcken angels in
similar contingency, lacking, however, the
grim sublimty of the arch fiend's appeal, is
every way most exceedingly mal-apropos in
its association of Hancock and Gettysburg
with the events of the 18th instant. Says
Mr.. Barnum, "The first days repulse at
Gettysburg ended on the third, with Han
cock in the front, in glorious victory. The
repulse is now, as then, the omen of victory"
etc. Well, the Republicans accept the
omen, and that is what makes them "smile
so broad that you can almost see it when
their backs are turned" The difficulty with
Mr.. Barnum's reference to Gettysburg and
Hancock is that Hancock and Longstreet
have changed sides in the bloodless Gettys-
burg that was fought on Tuesday. In the
Gettysburg of 1868, Hancock led the boys
in blue; now he leads the ranks in gray,
more solid than when Longstreet hurled
them with terrible but unavailing vigor
against the iron front of the Union lines.
Hancock in the Gettysburg of 1880 falls
far below his great confederate predecessor
of 1868 in the measure of his success, and
in the splendor of his achievements. Long
streets fame could hardly have been en-
HANGED by victory in 1868. There is no re-
deeming feature to Hancocks disgrace in
1880. Men pity him, remembering his
great services to the Union cause before that
fatal "bee buzzed in his bonnet, and filled
it with confederate honey that has now
turned to gall upon his lips. AS after the
Gettysburg of seventeen years ago, so now
the confederate Democratic hosts are all
again south of the Potomac, and the Union
forces will push them to Appomattox. On
the stage the events of years are contracted
into hours. So in this political drama of
the great rebellion. Events have trans
pired in weeks instead of years, and the vic
torious presage of Gettysburg, which waited
through two long years of dreadful carnage
for Appomattox, will realize its political
counterpart in fortnight Thanks, Chair
man Barnum, for your inspiring omen. 1t is
indeed the omen of a victory which will Sc
cure to coming generations the inestimable
blessings of civil liberty"

The national Democratic committee has
issued the following howl of rage and dis
may. No use, salt won't save the Democracy.
Instead of concentrating all their campaign
lies "into one stupendous whole" they
should be turning their thoughts towards
repentance seeking forgiveness for their
sins, and preparing FOR the day of judgment
which is rapidly approaching.
To the Democratic and Conservative Voters of
the Country The election OF president and vice
president is now before you, state and local dis
sensions are eliminated from the issues of the
day. The magnitude of victory or a defeat can
only be estimated by the forces and means en-
ployed in securing 1t. By fraud and corruption
the people Of the country were defeated in their
purpose In 1876 and the rightfully elected presi-
dent was kept from office. With the combined
capital OF the Republican party, aided by repeated
assessments upon an army OF office holders with
the power Of the federal government represented
by United States marshals at the polls, with in
timidation, fraud and resort to every corrupt
appliance known 10 Republican methods concen-
trated in two states, our adversaries have sue
ceeded in procuring the probable return OF their
local candidates. Can 1t be possible that In every
state throughout this broad land the same meth
DDS can be brought to bear that were used by the
Republican managers in Indiana and Ohio2 Can
the great states OF New York. New Jersey Con-
necticut, California, Colorado, Nevada and New
Hampshire be bought, inundated and defrauded?
Even without the vote Of Indiana, which we be-
lieve will be redeemed in November, with New
York and New Jersey and the states that are con-
coded to us, including Maine, the election OF our
candidates is assured The Republican party
have put in nomination for president and vice
president two men who by the admission of their
own party and press, are unworthy OF your conf
dence and your suifrages 1t is impossible that
fifty millions of intelligent and patriotic people
will consent to place themselves upon the humili-
ating level thus prepared for them by the Repub-
lican managers. fellow-ctizens, the first day y
repulse at Gettysburg ended the third, with
Hancock in the 'front.' in glorious victory. That
victory secured us our Union. The question Is not
now the preservation OF the Union, but of consti-
tutional government. Hancock is now, as then,
in the front. The repulse is now, as then, the
omen of victory which will secure to the com.
ing generations the inestimable blessings Of civil
liberty.

wore broad grin ON their faces and their whole
appearance and demeanor showed JOY trust and
confidence, while the latter were completely de-
moralized, had nothing to say, and evidently
wished to be passed by in silence. Sunday, the
18th instant, there was a fine rain, more than we
have had at any one time since the first of Au-
gust The Indians burnt Royalton one hundred
years ago last Saturday, and the town celebrated
the day with very appropriate services. Those
who attended the celebration concur in saying
that the programme as advertised was carried out
