Changing the State Elections.
CHICAGO, September a. The Times
says: As the Democratic trepidation in
Indiana has changed to hilarious conf
dence, it is presumed that the Supreme
Court, which meets to-day, will not re-
verse its decision overturning the Consti-
tutional amendments changing the State
elections from October to November. That
the advisability Of doing this was seriously
contemplated at one time, when the chances
Of Democratic success in October seemed
more remote than at present, there can
not be any doubt. One Of the Justices OF
the Court says the motion to reverse will
be considered early. and disposed OF be-
fore many days have passed.
Blaine TO Jewell.
BosToN, September Ex-senator Blaine
is in this city, and telegraphs Chairman
Jewell of the Republican National Com
mittee: Intelligence reaches me here to-
day which indicates that the telegraphic re-
port Of the votes as published by the AS
ISOLATED Press is in some cases modified by
the Clerks returns, as they reach the office
of the Secretary of State, where they are
open to the inspection of the public.
These notifications are of such a character
as to render the contest between Davis and
Plaisted extremely close, possibly requiring
the official returns to determine which is
elected. The official returns can not be
counted or even opened until the meeting
Of the Legislature in January.
Abiding to the cry of fraud put forth by
Chairman Barnum, Senator Blaine says the
only possible opportunity for frauds in the
election returns under our laws is in the
French plantations of Aroostook, where
the Assessors sign the returns expressed in
a language with which they are entirely I'M
acquainted. | do know that frauds have
been committed there in past years BY
Democratic agents, and / repeat that no
where else in Maine is fraud practicable.
Blaine says, also, that Chairman Barnum
is also in palpable error when he assumes
that all the election returns should be at
Augusta the day after election. Maine
has a larger territory than the other five
New England States together, and the
most Southwestern town in Maine is nearer
to Baltimore than it ia to the French plan
~tations on the Upper St. John by any prac-
ticable route, and a man can go from Au-
gusta to Chicago as quickly as he can GO
from Augusta to Fort Kent.
4 Brothers, Bad shooting.
CHICAGO, September 20.-At Galesburg
this morning the relatives of Miss Chase,
who is in a state bordering on insanity, and
who married a d~isreputable negro named
Sam Monroe, and has been sequestered by
her relatives for some days, was brought
into town, and with her three brothers and
an uncle entered a train to go to Peoria.
Monroe, who had been released from the
jail, where he was confined for theft, APP.
peared on the platform, and, walking de-
family up to the party, said, "Good morn.
ing, brother Horace" wherenpon the young
man knocked him down, borrowed a re.
~volver. and began to shoot and chase the
negro through the crowd, when he tried to
escape. Monroe also had a revolver in his
hand all the time. Monroe was hit in the
arm, but not hurt. A bystander named
Croker was severely injured by a shot.
Monroe eventually escaped, but much ex'
element is manifested among the negroes,
who all side with him, and among the white
population, whose sympathies are all on the
other side. A conservator has been ap.
pointed for Miss Chase in Chicago, whittier
she will be taken.
