A NOTABLE DRFECTION.


TOLEDO, o., Sept 5.-No political event which has
occurred in Northwestern Ohio for long time has
Orcasioncd much interest and comment as the an
nouncement by Woke Brothers. of Napoleon, that
they intended to vote for Garfield and Arthur on
business principles. Particulars of the great defec-
tOn were received in this city to-day, through the
medium of private correspondence.
For many years these gentlemen, who are the
largest tistillrrs and control Of the heaviest
business interests in this section of the State have
been among the most positive and influential German
Democrats of Henry county, always reliable IN moral
support and money contributions. Their dissatisfac-
ton with the Democratic outlook was known to only
few of ther personal friends till few evenings ago,
on the occasion of Il Garfield procession in town,
when Herman Woke startled his associates by ap-
pearing in the procession with torch. 1t was soon
learned that his two brothers had also been led to
change of position business considerations Their

charged with rubbing the train of the Kansas City.
st. Joseph Il Cauncil Bluffs railroad near Winthrop
two years ago. has been set for SATURDAY,. October
9Th. Mr.. Evander Light, the detective who was
mainly instrumental in tracking ORonrkc and Sc
curing his arrest in the city, yesterday. to at

the last of next week. Mr. Light returned last
night, 10 his home at SsIlina Kansas lie is cunti-
dent that there Is strong against % ROurkc.
and will he On hand at the proper time to give his
testimony.
Evnnder Light knows something about being tried
for train robbery. He tried for this same train
robbery in january, 1853. before Justice Fitton. the
same magistrate who will hear ORourke's ease.
Light was at that time in the employ of the Kansas
Pacific railroad company. and had been employed
for time previous, for the purpose of irrrrtng
out the who had been committing rOhbcrics along
the line of that road. While in the western part
of Kansas, he was in company with twO men. one of
whom he wanted" He attempted To read the war
rant for his arrest. No sooner had Light commcncd
this proceeding than the fellow pulled his pistol and
opened fire. Light had shotgun with him. and
leveling il mt the fellows head he cmptiCd both har
rels into his body. II is needless that he died
and was buried. The man who killed. Light
said, was in some way connected with Mrs. kcr-
sy, of this city, and that the kerscy family resolved
getting with him. Light was arrested on
robbery, and brought 10 ST. Joseph for trial. The
whole kersey family came into court and gave some
of the strongest circumstantal evidence against him
ever brought into q court of justice.
The trial lasted several days but Light proved II
direct and positve alibi. and Justice Etton turned
him loose. the attorneys both sides agreeing that
he not guilty.-S. Joe Gd-rttc.

A Centennial Anniversary.

To-day (October 7th) is the one hunslresith an
niversary of the battle of Kings Mountain, on
the line between North and South Carolina, the
result Of which probably saved the Patriot cause
in TIE South. Arnold's treason had Just been
discovered in the North, and Maj Andre had
been executed. The prospect dark, and the
extent Of the TREASON and disaffection was un-
known. In the preceding August, Gates had
been disastrously defeated and De Kalb killed
at Camden. South Carolina was at the mercy of
the British and Tories, and reign Of terror pre-
vailed in that Colony. Georgia ssas in the
condition, and the armies of Lord CORVALLIS
were overrunning North Carolina and Virginia.
The Tories, renegades and outlaws of the South,
under command of the notorious and desperate
Ferguson. were devastating the country, plum
dcrins and numbering such Patriots as they
could find. 1t at this crisis that a small
army of mountaineers and border men. made mp
of the combined commands of Cleveland, Camp
bell Seyier Shelby, and Williams attacked the
Tories, who were strongly posted Kings
Mountain, and after desperate fight, complete
ly routed them, killing Ferguson. This battle
ruined the Tory cause in the South, and gave
newed hope and courage to the Patriots. The
partisans of Marion and Sumpter struck some eff
fective blows, and the Patriots rallied for final
victory.
The present situation is not unlike that of one
hundred years ago. Treason TO the Union pre-
walls throughout the North. former Union
Geneneral heads the rebel canse, and many In
ion officers aiding and abetting him. The
Republicans of the South are crushed and intim-
idated Renegades are the leaders of the Denoc-
racy in the North-as Trumbull in Illinois, Ross
in Kansas, and Upton in Nebraska. But the
prospect is cheering that the enemy will find
their Kings Mountain in Ohio and Indiana in
October, to be followed 10y the final triumph in
November.

Hancock on Rebel Claims.

The Demagogism and dishonesty of Gen. Han
cock is nowhere more apparent than in his letter
pledging himself TO veto the rebel claims, if pass
ed by Congress- to which the Democracy refer as
an effectual quietus upon the Rebel Claims hob
by of the Republicans. The fact that the Rebel
papers publish the letter with a hurrah, and pre-
tend that they glory in the firm stand taken by
Hancock, is of itself proof that the whole thing
is intended to deceive the people of the North,
and that the Democracy chnckling over it as
n good trap set TO gull the voters. Every fact
and circumstance goes to show that Hancock
would not veto such claims. but would lie the
willing instrument in imposing them upon the
people. The South is solid and enthusiastic in
support of Hancock, and prepared to bulldoze to
any extent for his election. A long experience
with the South, ought to teach the people of the
North that Southern Democrats are never enthu-
siastc a man whom they do not know to be
heartily in their interest This matter of Rebel
claims is the one thing dear To the hearts of the
Southern people. Nearly every Southern Demo
cratic member of Congress has already introdue-
ed from Ia a cart load of bills for the pay
ment of such claims. Gen. Hancock is pledged,
sole and body, to the Democracy, and 10 carry
out their measures. Three-fourths of the Demo
cratic members of Congress are from the South
ern States. Every measure passed through Con-
gress is decided upon in caucus which rules with
iron hand. With Democratic Congress,
and, that majority ruled by caucuss, three
fonrths of which is composed of leading Rebels,
. Republican President has hitherto been the
only obstacle to deluging the country with these
Rebel claims. With Hancock as President, in
the hands of this Rebel caucus, he must be gul-
lible indeed who doubts that he would not do the
bidding of his party in Congress.
The gigantic census frauds in the South will,
if not ovcrhauled and corrected, give that sec
tion greater power in Congress than heretofore.
The valuation of property in the South has de-
creased in still larger proportion than the GEN.
sus has been raised. Therefore, while the South
has greater power to force through Rebel claims,
the consequent taxation will fall more lightly
upon them, and the North will he compelled to
pay the Rebel claims, penalty for having
conquered the Rebellion. This, if nothing else,
should make a solid North, to prevent the elec-
tion of Hancock.

u dollar an election in my life but, if there are
any Democrats in this ci,ywho feel n confidence like
that mentioned in the foregoing, and who CHAIR

lowing manner:
l will deposit 500 in the First National Bank,
against an equal amount, TO be.deposted there by
him. with the understanding that if Landers shall be
elected, my 500 is To he paid into the poor fund of

elected, his 800 goes to the poor fund, and viii
draw my 500. Also. will deposit 500 more at the
time and place, against like amount, TO be
deposited there by the party in question, with the
further understanding that if Hancock carries Indi
by 10000 majority. my second 800 shall be made
to the city poor fund, my opponent drawing
his; and. if Hancock fails to get this majority. his
second $500 shall go to the poor fund. and mine shall

to disappoint all. The political machine in that
great city is complex that it is very difficult to tell
just how it may work A very small thing will
sometimes change q large number of votes, and that
thing may happen the very eve of election
do you think anything of the kind you indicate
will be likely to happen!"
I do not. and do not fear the general result if it
does. Nothing, in my Judgment, can prevent the
Republicans carrying Ohio this year by handsome
majority. The changing Of votes which sometimes
happens in Cincinnati cannot he large enough to

dicated.


Specal Dispatch To the Cincinnati Gazette.
BosToS. Sept. 26.-The Herald OInd.l prints the
following special from New York:
The decline in stocks to-day, closely following last
nights Democratic demonstration has caused Rrpul'
cans Ia repeat the statement that financial circles dis
trust the Democratic party This time, too, Govern
ment bonds seriously affected despite Mr..
August Belmonts speech last night, which was in
tended Ia prove that under Democratic administra-
tion the public credit would be stronger than under
Republican rule. The stock market is very much
unsettled and very feverish, and the prediction is
freely made in the that if Indiana goes Dem
ocratc there will he a crash in prices Democratic
brokers themselves coneede this, hut their eNplana
tion is that it will be nothing than the result of
ordinary business precaution. Were VIM. III. Van
derblt To be voted out of the great companies over
which he is President, they say the prices of the
stocks would recede, although his might he
q better man. The fact that change of manage
ment was to be made wOuld knock prices so it is
now; the street is satisfied with the Republican
party's management of the finances, and although
another party might manage better business interest
takes alarm AT the prospect of any change.
The Republicans however, say that the decline
shows that financial circles disrIs the Democratic
party and fear that it will tinker with the finances if
il gets power.

ISDIiSh.-The contest in Indiana grows more in
each day. Both parties ART active, aggressive
and confident. The Democrats claim the State by
II 1000 while the Republicans almost certain of
lO,OOO majority if they secure fair vote. The
Republicans well organized in the strongly Dem
ocrntic Counties of Allen Franklin, Dearborn, and
Shelby. and will probably he able to prevent the
Democrats from indulging very largely in frauds.
United States Supervisors Of Elections will be ap-
pointed for every poll in these Counties The Dem
ocrats have applied for the appointment Of Superv
in Marion, Delaware, Fayette. Elkhart, Grant,
Henry and Hendricks Counties. English has been
virtually deposed from the Craftsmanship ofthe Dem
ocratic Committee, and Senator Mcdonald has taken
his place. Where the County Government is in the
hands of the Democrats, the sheriff will appoint
large number of deputies in order to protect the
Kentnckians in voting; hut Marshal Dudley is deter
mined To appoint deputy marshals wherever this Is
likely to he done, that honest election may be
cured, in which the Republicans will certainly
carry the State. The Democrats mueh discon-
certed at finding that several prominent Democrats
attended the Garfield business-men's meeting at In
dianapolis Thursday night, and that several Dem
0cratc manufacturers are working hard for the
cess of the Republican ticket.-Chioago Tribune.
