SENATOR WALLACE'S HOPES.

Confident of Democratic Success,
Senator Wallace was encountered at the
Girard house OH Monday, and conversed
with correspondent regarding the
political outlook. He said that the man.
ayers of the campaign felt more than us
ually confident regarding Indiana, fol
reasons that would appear Oh election day.
The entire ground had been carefully gone
over without any parade, and the result
of the October election there could he safe
ly presaged. The senator, with his well
known caution, declined to make the
same declaration regarding Ohio. "The
result in that state depends upon Hamil-
ton county," said he, ''and word has been
received from Cincinnati this afternoon
which would indicate that two of the con-
gressional districts in that county arc Ger
tain to return Democratic candidates. l
think it is fact which even my Republi-
can friends will admit. if they are candid,
that General Garfield's personal popular
ity is not great throughout his own state.
However, Ohio is not of vital interest to
us Regarding Pennsylvania, I may say
that our confidence is steadily increasing.
State pride is having that full measure of
effect which all students of election re-
turns have learned to count upon with more
or less certainty. We are, therefore, real
ly in hopes of rcdceming this state from
Republican rule. At this moment, howev-
er, | may say frankly that Our eyes are
set Westward.

VERMONT has gone Republican by
about its usual majority, and it may even
turn '.ut that its majority is larger than
ever. 1t would he queer if it were not
SO. 1t is a state that learns nothing and
forgets nothing. Daniel Webster used
to tell the people of New England that
they had conquered an inhospitable soil,
chilling climate and the fierce savages,
but they had yet to learn to conquer
their prejudices. If ever Vermont could
rise to that sublimity it would have hap
pened in behalf of Horace Greeley, in
1872. But it didn't and Ephraim was
seen to be SO joined to his idols that he
might as well have been let alone ever
since. The Democrats there insisted on
having walk-around this campaign,
just to show their brethren through
the country under what discour-
agement and disadvantage Demo-
Gratis could hold fast to their faith.
They have kept it resolutely. They
stood up and were counted and they are
all there. The Republicans seem to be
relieved at the discovery that they have

Seeing by Telegraph"

We have long produced movement, heat
and light by electricity, and of late we
have fallen into a way of speaking, writing,
and drawing by telegraph. But now, it
seems, We are to see by means of what is
truly the magic wire. A DR.. H. E. Licks,
of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, has invented
an instrument which he calls the diaphote,
and which has the power of showing in a
mirror ut one end the image of any object
placed in front of a corresponding mirror
at the other end. These mirrors are COM
posed, the one of selenium and chromium
and the other of sclcnium and iOdide Of
silver-substances very sensitive to light
and heat. Each mirror is, moreover, built
up of u number of small plates, and the
corresponding couples are connected by
separate wires. The receiving mirror is
placed in a camera, and receives from Il
lens the pictures of any desired object.
The various gradations of light and form
falling on the plates of the mirror set up
variations in the electrical currents ira
versing the connecting wires. These var
iations cause changes in the plates COM
posing the reproducing mirror, which
thereupon exhibits an image of the
object. A public exhibition of this
ingenious instrument took place very
recently at Reading, in the United
States. The receiving mirror was taken
down to a room below the hall in which
the spectators were assembled, and variou S
objects, such rs an apple, penknife, a
dollar, watch, part Of the printed hand
bill, &c, were successfully placed in front
of it, and Immediately became visible to
the audience; and when, at length, the
head of 4 live kitten was thus seen by tel
egraph, the enthusiasm of all present was
wrought up to frenzy. This reads well,
and in the interest of science we hope it is
all true York (Eng.) House Papers.

One day in the early part Of the summer

near Petersburg. He had been in the

The Crafty Buchanan

The latest report concerning the Gisap-
pearance of Buchanan, the bogus diploma
vender, comes from Chester. 1t is to the
effect that a man living there was ap-
preached with a liberal offer to furnish a
body "to be discovered and identified as
that of DR.. Buchanan" The repol t
goes on thus: "The means by
which this Identification was to be brourht
about by marks upon the body, the
clothing, and papers in the pockets, were
all, it is said prearranged the person in
vited to join the conspiracy was instructed
merely to look out for body of the pro-
per build and at the requisite stage of de-
composition, which was to be attired in
a manner to produce tho desired decep-
tion, and tow it to point, whence it
would float to some part of the shore upon
which the tide might naturally have cast

son actually committed suicide.

Dem. Maj. IL
Returns of the election in Vermont, held
yesterday, indicate the usual Republican
majority in that state of about q, 900. The
campaign in that state was dress parade,
the exertions of both parties being made
to get out their fullest vote, and Of course
as the state is two to one Republican their
increase is the larger. They have about
held their own and regained the congress-
man elected in 1878 by the Greenback
Democratic fusion.
Partial returns from a number of coun-
ties in Arkansas indicate the election OF
Churchill. Democrat, for governor. over
Parks, Greenback, by a majority ranging
between 1000 and $4,000. From returns
received and as estimated by those best
informed it is believed that the proposed
constitutional amendment repudiating
certain state bonds will fail to receive q
majority Of all the votes cast as required
by the constitution to insure its adoption,
Such an opportunity to avoid the payment
Of obligations has not always been
neglected by debt-ridtlen commonwealth,
North as we'll as South. The sturdy sense
of honor which led the voters of Arkansas
to repudiate reputation seems also to
have actuated the Democrats Of Tennessee
AS they have taken similarly judicious
stand in their convention. There is evident.
ly streak of fine regard for the sanctity
of contract running through that part OF
the country.
The municipal election in Wilmington,
Del, yesterday resulted in favor of the
Republicans. They have generally car.
ried the city though of late the Democrats
had it. Only local issues were involved.
MIR. j. Norman Babcock, a leading Re-
publican farmer of LaGrange county, In.
diana, and prominent granger, has an
nounced his purpose to support Hancock
and English. In a speech to his friends
and ncig ghbOrs he gave his reasons for a
change, in Gartield's connection with
Credit MObilier and DeGolyer and in the
sectionalism Of the Republican party. He
said that this was the tittest time to unite
the country in the bonds of Cancellation
and that General HancOck's election would
give the land peace, prosperity and happi-
ness.
A negro riOter in Indiana on Saturday
shot tho wrong man. Whilea Democratic
procession was marching in Washington,
Indiana, negro OH the sidewalk recog-
nized an enemy in the ranks and not being
near enough to carve him with the tradi-
tiOnal weapon, the razor, fired a pistol at
him. The ball missed it's mark and buried
itself in the skull of Republican who was
standing on the opposite side of the street.
Whether the negro was one of the impor-
tations made by John C. New from North
Carolina last spring is not stated.

Details have becn received of the acci-
dent at RoscoH, on the coast of Finisterre,
September 4, by which Mrs. Hennessy, an
American lady, Viscount Fleury, and two
natives of Eagland were drowned from a
boat belonging to the Russian Prince Gal
litzin. It appears that the boat was old
and unseaworthy, and tho crew Of two
sailors miscalculated the height of the tide.
The boat consequently beat on the rocks
and was capsized. A young Russian with
the party made great efforts to save his
companions. Mrs. Hennessy clung to u
portion of the boat for some time. but ul-
timately relaxed her hold and was drowned.

THE Democracy of Pennsylvania need
not have any fears that the efficient or
ganization of the party in this state and
all the necessary work of the campaign
will suffer the slightest neglect from those
into whose hands it has been entrusted.
To the neglect of his private business
and despite pressing family cares, Mr..
Dill, the chairman of the state central
committee, is giving his assiduous at
tention to the campaign, supervising and
directing its details as we'll rs conduct
ing it in its general aspects. He is aided
most efficiently 10y Hon. VIM. McC Clelland,
ex-chairman of the committee, who has
special charge of the correspondence and
documents, and by Mr.. Geo. B. Herbert,
Al experienced political manager who has
supervision Of the department of public
meetings. The appearance of the head
quarters of the committee in Philadel-
phia bespeaks active and incessant work ::
promptitude, industy and decision seem
to he the characteristics of the force
there. Complete communication is had
by the committee with every election dis
trict in the state, and no application re-
mains unanswered nor any want unat-
tended to.
The most striking, and at the same
time the most encouraging features of
the campaign, are the unusually large
number Of doubtful voters reported, al
most entirely drawn from the Republi-
can ranks, and the increasing demand
for reading matter. The laboring men
of the country, it seems, do not "vote
through their eyes " as John Cessna pro-
claims, but are reading and think for
themselves, and when the gravel train
comes in " look out for the returns!
