COrreSpon'tence
Our DEFEAT.-The late political
disaster has dwarfed all local items, if
there were any worthy of report. Now
that the smoke of the conflict has
cleared away, the cause of the disaster
is painfully apparent to those stubborn,
willful and all-wise Democrats who are
more strongly welded to policy than
right. That there is a large number
of Democrats among US who, though
they have worked zealously and hon
estly for victory, are nevertheless not
disappointed at the result, because the
Idea was firmly fixed in their minds.
=" that party that had not the courage
to do right ought to be defeated The
Democracy had not the courage, or the
will to do right in the matter of re-
buking the greatest outrage ever per-
petrated in this country. We may
pirate, talk and declalm about the great
outrage of 1876, but the fact is that
stupenduous wrong was duplicated by
the. Democracy, when they failed to
rise up as one man, and vindicate
Samuel J. Tilden, through whom the
whole country was wronged in 1876.
1t was an imperative duty incumbent
upon every Democrat in the land, to
rebuke that great wrong in the most
positive, direct and effectual manner
possible. The best way to have done
that, was for every leading Democrat
in the land to have said, when that
outrage was consummated, ':There
shall no other name than s. J. Tilden
come before the next convention for
nomination for President" The De-
mocracy would have been unanimous
and enthusiastic in such q course, and
they would have been victorious. Gen.
Hancock is a good man, and worthy /;
but he knows as little of conducting q
political campaign as your correspon-
dent. He, in no manner, is response
BILE for the defeat. On the contrary,
Tilden is peculiarly adapted to such
| work. He understands all the tricks
and devices of the enemy, and antici-
pates them. He knows more about
such matters than all the Democrats
in the land combined He has the
will, the energy, and the ability nee
essary for success, and would have won
it.. The Democratic leaders are cow
ards and imbecils. They dare not vim
dictate an honest man when assailed
by villains and thieves. Vallandig-
ham was abused by Democrats because
he was assailed by fools and fanatics.
Had he been in the Senate, instead OF
Thurman, Hayes would not now be
disgracing the Presidential chair.

has been weak and inefficient, if not
corrupt. Our delegation to the Ma.
tional Convention in 1876 showed it.
self the weakest of the weak in voting
for VIM. Allen, and in 1880 they made
a ridiculous and most contemplate
showing by voting to compliment
Thurman, when by voting for Payne
or: .Jewett, they might have effected
something.

man or organization, it deserves defeat

treat Excitemen Among the Il ads
The Republican mind is all torn up
over the rumors about the purpose of
the Democrats to count New York
against them, and thus secure the elec-
tion Of General Hancock instead of
the other fellow. A Washington dis
patch of the 9Th says:
Something of sensation was crea-
ted at the capitol yesterday by a report
that Gen. Butler, while at the supreme
court, had said the revised and correct
ed vote of New York would show a
majority for Hancock. Two employees
of the house stated they had heard
Gen. Butler make the assertion also,
that the General said he had Just bet
$500 that Hancock would be the next
| President. The excitement was in
creased by report that John Kelley
had telegraphed Mr.. John E. Norris
not to give up bets on New York, as
the result was undecided. An inves-
NOR had grown out of statement by
Gen. Butler to the effect that if the
fraudulent votes" in New York were
thrown out, Hancock would have a
majority. For q while the statement
of the two house employees created
considerable excitement. ~.
But if all these rumors should be
realized, what will the Republicans dc
about il? There is as much evidence
of unfairness, fraud and Intimidation
having been practiced in New York
Connecticut, Rhode Island. Indiana
and other States, as there was in 1877
in Louisiana and Florida and now il
the poisoned chalice should be return
ed to their own lips, if those having
the cards in their own hands shoult
play them as recklessly as they die
four years ago, what have All Sin jim
and his friends to say against it?

A HORRIBLE CRIME.-On Saturday
last David Mum was arrested by
Marshal Rodenbaugh on q warrant
sworn out by John Beswick before
Isaac Russell, Esq, charged with the
disgusting crime of incest upon his
daughter. httle girl about 10 years of
age. Mr.. Beswick is a son-in-law of
Mum, and learned of the crime on
Wednesday. The child tells a. straight
story in regard to the doings Of her
unnatural father, and says that by,
threats and promises he accomplished
his hellish designs several weeks ago,
and repeated the crime three timea,
the last time being on Monday. Oct.
25. The little girl divulged- the secret
TO q younger siste, and she in turn re-
lated the circumstances to Mr.. Bes-
wick. who Investigated the matter and
took immediate steps to bring Mum
to justice. The hearing was post
pOned until this Saturday, Nov. 6,
and Mum, in default of bail, was sent
to the county Jail. Should the charge
be sustained 1t is to be hoped the
wretch will be dealt with as he justly
