INDIANA ELECTION


In our issue Ot last week Nr
stated that Iudiana went democrat
ie iu the election on the laih, but
since that writing We fnd by the
returns that the republicausearrie
the State by about six thousand
majority. We sre nothing in this,
however, to discourage democrats
in the November election. The re-.
.publicdus concentrated their men
and money in Indiana i'm the State
election, and by the Importation of
negroes aud other fraudulent vot-
els they succeeded in carrying tue
State, hut in the November elec-
tiOn they cannot use the same
means, as every voter mill beueed-
ed IN his own State to help his
party out, thus the democrats Will
have equal chances with therepubli
cans, aud we believe by far elec,
tion the democrats will carry the
State.
1t was we'll known fact that for
months previous to the election the
republicans wereimpOrtiug negroes
from different Southern States into
Indiana to help carry the election,
aud It was only by the most out
rageous frauds on the part of the
republican managers that they sue
eeeded in carrying the State. The
eilieial majority gives the republi.
cans six thousand majority; they
will have fourteen on joint ballot
in the legislature, aud elect eight
congressman out of thirteen. This
is severe blow to the democrats.
but we believe the State can be re.
deemed in the general election in
November. But should Indiana
go republican in the November
election that is no reason why
Hancock should not be elected.
The democratic party only needs
forty five electoral votes, aside from
the one hundred aud thirty eight
that will be east in the South, TO
elect the ticket, and New York,
Connecticut and New Jersey will
furnish more than that many.
which assures the success of our
party.
Democrats should not be trou.
bled or despondent over the defeat
in Indiana, but go to work in earn.
est, and do all they can to secure
votes, and victory will crown their
Efforts in November.
One of the best articles we have
seen Oh tins subject is from the
Mobile Register, which we print in
another column in this issue. We
want every democrat, especially
the weak -kneed and despondent,
to read it. 1t will do them good.

BREAKING THE SABBATH.

From the general manner in
which the Sabbath day is openly
and notoriously violated in the city
Of New Orleans, we have long la.
bored under the impression that
there were no laws in that city
against desecrating the Sabbath,
or what is commonly known as
Sunday laws" BE this us it may,
1t is shame and disgrace for any
enlightened city or STATE IN this,
the nineteenth century, to allow
such an open disregard OF the
Sabbath as is carried on in New
Orleans. In that city the circus
makes public parade through the
streets on Sunday, the theaterS re.
serve Sunday for their opening
nights, dry goods, boot and shoe,
clothing and other stores have their
front doors wide open on Sunday,
and any one passing along Canal
or other business streets Sunday
mornings would observe little or
no difference from any other day
in the week. ....
We are glad there is one secular
paper in that city which has the
holiness to come out p'ainly and
deuounce the violation of the Sab.
bath, aud we hope to see the moral
and religious people sustain il.
We refer 10 the Democrat, in which
we find the following of last Mon.

oI tlls Guy was an unnecessary and mex
cusable violation of the Sabbath, such as
w i"oV WIZ Hot pe repeated. We are
not particularly straightlaced in our IDEAS
as to the observance of Sunday, but il has
been set aside as II day of rest, and il 10.
garded by the large majority of the
people as a holy day - day unnn
which secular things are to 5e mi
aside as much as possible, and moth.
ing should be permitted TO break /,

managers of the show that hereafter they
will much more commend themselves in
public favor IN New Orleans il They win
pay such decent respect TO the Sabbath ms
they would be compelled to accord in Bos-
ton aud other New England cities. And
just here the Democrat wishes to file a pro-
test against Sunday theatrical entertain-
meuts generally, as not only tending to
demoralize public sentiment aud encou
rage lax observance of tho Sabbath on
the part of the young, but as degrading
the stage itself. We have 10 wish TO see
q pulitanical observance of Sunday. bnt
II docs seem to us that common deceney
and justice demand that the feelings and
Wishes Of the vast majority of the people
ON this subject should be respected.
