last Treasurer of the Lost Cause,
and his appointment In that capac-
ity was the last official act of JET
fersOn Davis, late President of the
Confederate States. Mr.. Clark has
in frame over his desk the orig
fnal paper, yellow with age and
wear. 1t reads thus:

THE Supreme Court of the United States, in
a suit brought by a Nebraska Indian against
an election register for refusing to register
him as a qualified voter, has decided that an
Indian who has voluntarily separated from
his tribe and taken up his residence among
white citizens of a State, but has not been
naturalized or taxed, is not a citizen of the
United States within the meaning of the four
teenth amendment. 1t hardly seems the
right thing to make a foreigner OF the
aborigine in his own country, but he will find
plenty of s%ympathizers in this matter among

meeting the people in fullest confidence that
his cause was just, he went among them and
freely discussed every great question. as
would neighbor with neighbor. Much of
the credit of the grand achievement
of Tuesday must be ascribed to Mr..
Blaine personally. Defying precedent and
despising the auguries that predicted a dis
astrous outcome of a personal meeting with
the American people, he has most grandly
marched upward to glorious vindication, and
stands to-day on his own merits one Of the
tallest men of the age.

fare waged upon the character of Blaine, is

exception of Connecticut and New Jersey, the

people of all portions of the Union, and with
out regard to location or political complexion.
Nor is it yet certain that there
still exists a solid South, so
long held together by methods that
shame civilization. Present indications show
both the Virginias and possibly Florida
doubtful, so that, while they may not actually
be Republican, they have come near enough
to touch hands with the party of progress and
national unity. The solid South is dead
henceforth forever. This alone is an achieve
ment to. call for the ~profoundest gratitude
to the party that, through a quarter of a
century, has been striving for one country
and a united people. Patient under the per-
p~etration of fraud and outrage against it, the
Republican party has worked on, inspired by
the hope that time would assuage the bitter
ness of prejudice and heal the wounds of war.
The prejudice is fading out, and the wounds
are healing. A solid South will never be
heard of again. Such narrow sectarianism
will hereafter be hateful even
in the South. The American
people have risen to the highest plane and to
a realization of kindred and intimate interests.
South will now strike hands with North and
all will move on to better things and to more
nearly perfect concord. Mr.. Blaine's great
charity and force of character will inspire
confidence everywhere, and all the people will
gladly unite to do him honor. The American
people are nearer together than ever before.

said emphatically: lean not see anyone tonight.

added: 1t is n Waterloo for YOU
All right, he answered. and, turning over,
was soon sound asleep again.

A New York man has recently lost his life
bear, and the cry goes up that the bite of that
animal is as certain death as that of a rattle
snake. We don't believe it OF the hundred or
more thousand deaths that have occurred in In
diana probably not one was from the bite or
scratch of the ant-eater, so hat it is quite APP
parent that such deaths are very rare. We
have not the statistics of fatalities from ant
bear bites at hand. but we feel quite sure that
the proportion is enormously in favor of natural
deaths or deaths from the bite of ants over bites
from ant-bears. Still, if you have doubts con
corning this, do not take our work for it. but
go at once and chain up your ant-eater, or put a
muzzle on him. Children that cry for ant
caters must be kindly but firmly refused.

THE solidity of the South means more to
the Republican party than the loss of thirty
seven electoral votes, the number apportioned
the South on account of colored voters. 1t
means the loss of the entire electoral vote of
those States in which an undoubted Repub-
lican majority exists, but is beaten and shot
out of existence by Democratic rufians.
What share of the votes of the two Carolinas

number, would the Republicans rave. on a
free vote and fair COUNT Certainlyynot less
than twentyseven, leaving the Democratic
vote of the South but 126, intead of 1853, and
rendering it very easy for the Republican
party, representing the honest majority of the
people, to carry and control the country.

THE RESULT.

THE skies are bright. The Democrats had
their innings, early on Tuesday night, under
the influence of the exaggerated reports sent
out from New York. Later on, early on
Wednesday morning, the complexion of things
began to change, and, although the day yes
erday was passed in anxiety, the clouds
kept steadily breaking away until before 10
o'clock the final result was known, and
Blaine and Logan's triumphant election as
sured. The Republicans have carried every
Northern State, with the exception Of New
Jersey and Connecticut, and probably Vir-
ginia and West Virginia have joined the vic
torious column. At any rate the Republicans
have 233 electoral votes. In this estimate we
claim Indiana. On the basis of the present
returns, we think the State has gone Repub-
lican by from 1000 to 4, 900.
