NEW YORK, Oct. IA, 1880.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 15.-The Dem
ocratic Executive Committee have issued
the following address:
To the Democratic and Independent Voters
Of Indiana: 3eN
The result of the election last Tuesday
is deep disappointment to US all. The
extent of success which the Republican
party has achieved in this state is as much
surprise to Republicans as it is to Dem
ocrats, and proves that a majority of the
Republican party we're as ignorant Of the
means which their corrupt leaders were
employing as we were.
The temporary loss of our State is ca
lamity that time will enable us to retrieve,
but the injury which our free institutions
will sustain resulting from frauds and cor
ruption practiced by Republican leaders to
secure their triumph is incalcuiAble.
The causes which enabled the Republi-
can party to succeed in the election are
now plainly this partial success, of their
scheme to Africanize our State for politi-
cal purposes; the corrupt use of money for
the purpose of obtaining votes; the impor
tatiOn and use of TepeaterS, protected by
deputy marshals. and the aid derived by
them from the use of the federal machine
ry of election under pretence Of supervis-
ing the election of members of Congress,
In the presidential election we will not
have to encounter these forces to the same
extent as in our State. The corruption
fund will have to be divided among many
States. The repeaters will he all at home,
and those Of them who were discharged
from arrest by deputy marshals on straw
bail will not be likely to make their APP
pearance in our State soon again. We
shall have no Federal marshals or Federal
machinery to contend against. We are
thoroughly united in our counsels. What
trary is untrue We therefore call upon
you not to relax any Of your efforts, Put
new life and energy into your county and
township organizations, and take all meas
ures in your power to bring out your full
strength to the polls. The same vote poll
ed in November, will secure to us the
State. The average majority against us
at the late election will not exceed 1900,
and may fall below that figure. This ma
jority can, and in our opinion will, be
overcome in the presidential election. A
change of three votes in each precinct will
accomplish it. Remember, you have
leader in this contest who never aounds a
retreat, and he commands an army that
never surrenders,

Now that the faithful allies" have gone
back to their own camp, and that the In
dependent ticket can no longer build any
hope upon them it behooves the Demo-
Gratis of Augusta to put in still stronger
work-let them make the majority in this
county so large that there will be no qnes-
tion about the result. And see to it that
Henry Aliens name is kept abreast of the
electoral ticket. See your neighbor; that
is the most important of all: see him and
tell him just how it stands. Ask him if
he is willing the food at his table and the
clothes he wears should be taxed in order
that protective tariff. may make more
millionaires and more poor men.

What Both Sides Say Of Indiana.
THE DEMOCRATS TO MAKE A NEW FIGHT


NEW YORK, October A.-The Demo-
cratic National Executive Committee is in
session this afternoon at Democratic head
quarters. Among the members present
are Senator Barnum, and Messrs. Scott. of
Penn sylvania; Smalley, of Vermont; He
and Cleveland, OF New Jersey. The stu
alton of the canvass was discussed in de-
tail and the following address adopted:
TO the Democratic and Conservative 70
ters of the coa,otry-The election of Presi-
dent and Vice President is now before
you. State and local dissentions are eli
minated from the issues of the day. The
magnitude Of victory or defeat can
only be estimated by the forces and means
employed in securing it. BY fraud and
corruption the people Of the country we're
rightfully elected President was kept from
Office. With the combined capital of the
Republican party, aided by repeated as
sessmcnts upon an army of Officeholders,
with the power of the Federal government
represented by United States marshals at
the polls, with intimidation, fraud and
resort to every corrupt appliance, known
to Republican methods concentrated in
two States, our adversarieS have succeeded
Ill pIpCuIluA tH0 pIUDdUlG I0buId VI IuolI
local candidates. Can it be possible that
in every State throughout this broad land
the same methods can be brought to bear
as were used by the Republican managers
ID Ohio and indiana? Can the great States
of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
California, Colorado, Nevada and New
Hampshire be bought inundated and de-
frauded? Even without the vote of In
diana, which we believe will be redeemed
in November, with New York, New Jer-
sey, and the States that are conceded to
US, including Maine, the election Of our
candidate is assured. The Republican
party have put in nomination for Presi-
dent and Vice President two men who.
by the admission of their own party and
press, are unworthy of your confidence and
your suffrages. It is impossible that 50,-
000, 900 of Intelligent and patriotic people
will consent to place themselves upon the
humlliating level thus prepared for them
by the Republican leaders. Fellow-citi-
ZenS! the first days repulse at Gettysburg
ended on the third with Hancock in the
front in glorious victory. That victory
secured us our Union. The question is
not now the preservation of the Union,
bat of constitutional government. Han
cock is now, as then, in the front; the re-
pulse is now as then the omen of a victory
which will secure to coming generations
the inestimable blessings Of civil liberty.
By order of the National Democratic
Committee.

toriously stingy, although man of good
property, and thought a verdict, with a
large amount Of COSTS which the suit would
necessarily entail, would hurt him worse
than any corporal punishment that could
be inflicted. Mohler did not seem alto
gether satisfied with this, because, like a
great many others, he did not believe that
a civil action would lie against party for
the wrong of killing dog. Upon reach
ing the camp. however, his lawyer friends
told him that they could maintain such
action, and promised to bring the suit
and prosecute, it vigorously without
charge.
As soon as they returned to Lexington,
Governor Letcher took the matter in hand
and brought the suit, and great many
very sensible people thought that nothing
could be recovered. At the first term OF
the Court was absent and the case was
continued. and SO for several terms, until
the costs attending the suit 1.-THE other
witnesses, some twelve or fifteen having
come long way every time) had piled up
above hundred dollars, Atlast attend
ed the court and the trial began.
All the evidence for the plaintiff,
Mohler, was heard, Governor Letcher and
other distinguished counsel appearing for
him. The courtroom was crowded with
spectators eager to hear this singular case.
After resting the case for the plaintiff the
defendant, Davis, was put upon the stand,
and denied the whole thing, and swore.
that he never poisoned the dog in question
nor any other dog in his life. Then his
counsel. Colonel Moore. called the next
witness, Mr.. Wilson, one of the most in.
telligent and influential farmers in the
county, who Was near neighbor to Davis.
His examination was about this:
Counsel for Davis: INF. Wilson, tell the
iury how long you have known Mr.. Davis.
your opportunities of knowing him, and
what sort Of reputation he bears among
his neighbOrs as citizen, neighber, etc."
Witness: "Have known him thirty or
forty years; live very near HIM. Mr.. Davis
is good citizen. and a kind, hospitable
neighbor; stands very fair in the commu-
nifty in all business relations, ETC., etc.,
Col. Moore's c0untenance beamed with
satisfaction, he looked defiantly at Cover
nor Letcher and complacently at the jury.
The Governor raised his spectacles and
looked very blandly at the witness:
s'Mr. Wilson, do you know Mr.. Davis
in your neighborhood as doc
kitlers if SO, please tell the jury what that
reputation is,
Here little wrangling took place be-

question. but the Court permitted it.

the year 1880 wedding trousseau in
high life is q very grand affair and
comprises twelve dresses, all made up,
with stockings, shoes, sun-shades and
hats to match. The trosseau, together
with the linen, is worth from 10000
to $1,000 francs. In the trosseau of
the Princess Isabella de Groy, the
wife Of the Archduke Frederick Of
Austria, all the linen is counted by
the gross. There are twelve dozens
OF everything. The wedding presents,
the "eorbeille," are no longer sent in
a basket covered with bows and ruches
OF ribbon. The modern ''corbeille' is
a piece Of furniture, a chiffonier, a
workable or what-nOt. A few pres
ents only are placed in it, and the rest
are sent. A purse full of gold is al
ways hidden in one ofthe drawers it
is the share of the poor, the charity
purse. 1t is no longer the custom for
the bridegroom to present the tradi-
tlonal cashmere shawl. That has
gone out offashion. The "corbeille"
OF high life now contains two lace
dresses, one white and one black, two
velvet dresses, not made up, two or
three satin dresses, and two
fancy dresses, nantes and sor-
fles de bal. Fans of all degrees of
splendor, scent bottles, a necessaire
and q card-case are INDISPENSABLE
rBlbelots, too, are represented in
the "~corbeille" by groups in SAKE,
Louis XIV, chantelaines, fans painted
by Watteau, or any agreeable aud
precious knick-knack, which the fancy
ofthe bridegroom can suggest and
the curiosity shops furnish. On every
thing the young lady's crest, motto,
and monogram figure, and on her
church service her armorial bearing,
with all their quarterings, will be dis
played au grand complet. In the
matter Of jewelry we may add that
pearls are now esteemed higher than
diamonds. A necklace Of pearls of
five rows is worth 100000 francs, or
100000. 1t is no longer the custom
to exhibit on the day of the signing
Of the contract the presents given to
the bride by her friends and relatives.
In England they publish the list of
the presents and their donors in the
Court Journal and the local news
papers. Here the bride thanks each
OF those who have thought of her, and
adds their tributes Of friendship to
the others. On the day Of her mar
rage the bride wears only the Jewels
that have been given to her by her
mother and her husband.
