THE Cincinnati Enquirer of Friday
contains a column letter from Washing
ton denouncing Grover Cleveland for
shutting out from his councils the prom
inent Democrats of the country. 1t
closes with the following warning OF
what may be expected when Congress
meets:-
The last order from the White House
was all that was needed to give outspo
ken force to suppressed rebellion
There will be lively times in the Senate
and House this winter, and no one will
be more interested than the occupant of
the White House. The surroundings of
the President may not be as quiet and
unobtrusive as they are now when the

A DANGEROUS SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-A
fatal mistake; at the time DR. Vance of Cleve-
land, performed the operation on the lady for
the removal of cancer Of the stomach he
fonud when too late that the poor woman had
no cancer to be removed; the disease was in>
idigetion, and if she had taken the Shaker
Extract of Roots (Siegels Syrup that awful
distress at the pit of the stomach, which made
the doctors think she had cancer, would have
been removed; distress after eating, dull, heavy
feeling in the head, with pains in the side and
back, all vanish after using this wonderful
remedy the tired, languid feeling gives place
to strength and vignr. Mrs Dels Marsh writes
from Pea Ridge, Benton county, Arkansas,
that she had dyspepsia in the worst form for
five years, and that nothing gave any relief
until she used the Siegel Syrup; she says that
two bottles cured her. 10 22-1m

Mr.. THOMAS MCDoUGALLs argument
In the election cases, before the Circuit
Court in Cincinnati, on Friday, pleading
that there was a tribunal before whom
the people could be heard in defense of
their political rights against the manip-
ulators of fraud, closed with some
weighty observations. He spoke of the
usurpers who assumed that they had
authority to count and certify pretended
election returns, fraudulent on their
face, and after quoting the authorities
sustaining the jurisdiction of the Court,
he said:
when the Judiciary is appealed to
restrain the consummation of such usur-
patton, such crime, such destruction of
law and the liberties of this people, we
are told there is no power to restrain
these Boards from consummating these
wrongs, and the only remedy is an appeal
to the bodies thus constituted by crime,
conceived in iniQnity, as the sole Judge
of the qualifications Of its members.
"If that is the condition of the law of
the State of Ohio; if there is no forum
that has the power to say to these men,
You can not thus cOnsummate crime,
the sooner the people of the State of
Ohio know it the better, for it will not
take them long to create forum that
has the power, and prevent the destruc.
tion of the will of the people, which
these defendants stand here. in open
court, and say. by this pleading. they pro-
pose to accomplish.
Politics, partisanship, have nothing to
do with the controversy before this
Court. True citizenship, irrespective of
party, demands that if there is power to
prevent the contamination of the wrong
1t shall be at once exercised, and exer-
cised 80 effectively that the Board that
Is attempting to cOnsnmmate the fraud
will know that it is not supreme; will
know that the will of this people must
be obeyed, as it has been expressed in
the returns sent to them; and any appeal

Court, or OF this community, from the |
true status of this case, from the charac-
ter of the wrong confessed in this Court, |
from what these defendants are ATTEMPT
ing to accomplish, is simply to be in
partnership with the criminal; is to be
aiding and abetting in the consumma-
tion of the fraud. and a traitor to the

He has done for US in the year that has
passed; for our preservation as united
Nation and for our deliverance from the
shock and danger of political convulsion;
for the blessings OF peace and for our
safety and quiet while wars and rumors
of wars have agitated and afflicted other
nations of the earth; for our security
against the scourge of pestilencs, which
in other lands has claimed its dead by
thousands and filled the streets with
mourners; for plenteous crops, which re-
ward the labor of the husbandman and
increase our Nations wealth; and for
the conteRtment throughout our borders,
which follows in the train of prosperity
and abundance.
And let there also be on the day thus
set apart reunion of families, sanctlfi-
ed and chastened by tender memories
and associations, and let the social in

And let US by no means forget, while
we give thanks and enjoy the comforts
which have crowned our lives, that tru>

of charity and that kind and thought
full remembrance of the poor will double
the pleasures of our condition, and reD-
der our praise and thanksgiving more
acceptable in the sight of the Lord.

A CASE has just been decided in the
Federal Court at Indianapolis, which re-
calls the days of Copperheadism and re-
bellion. In 1865 certain leaders of the
Knights of the Golden Circle were ar
rested in Indiana on charges of treason
and conspiracy. Among them were
Messrs. Milligsn, Bowles and Hosey,
whe were tried by military commission
and sentenced to be executed. Andrew
johnson commuted the sentence to i'm
prisonu.ent for life. They were after
ward restored to liberty through the
action Of the United States Supreme
Court. Milligan then began a suit
against the members of the commission
for false prisonment, laying his dam
ages at $4,000. The case has just been
decided by awarding him judgment of
s. and costs. Judge Drummond, WIN
presided at the trial, ruled that as Indi+
ana was not under martial law at the
time of the arrest and trial of the pris-
oners they should have been taken be-
fore the civil courts instead of before a
military commission, whose proceedings
were illegal.

THE ELECTIONS.

General elections were held in II
States on Tuesday. Five States-Iowa.
Mississippi, New York,
and Virginia-eleeted Governors and
other State officers, and fve-Arkansas,
Colorado, Maryland, Nebraska and Penn
sylvania elected minor State officers,
but not Governors. Members of the
Legislature we're chosen in eight States
Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts,,
Mississippi, New Jersey, New York and
Virginia.
The results are not far from what was
predicted by close observers in most
States, except New York, which was
somewhat disappointing in its results
In that State, the Democrats under the
influence of Administration Doodle, the
fear that the defeat of Hill would be &C.
cepted as a rebuke of Cleveland's admin.
istration, and the appliance of the most
odious machine methods in New York
Brooklyn and other large cities in the
State, made pretty clean sweep of the
State onices, by a majority of probably
10000. The Republicans retain contro
of both branches of the Legislature.
Pennsylvania stands grsndly in the
Republican column, and elects the head
of the ticket, Col. Quay. for State Treas
urer, by about $4,000 majority.
In Massachusetts,, Gov. Robinson anG
other Republican State officers wer,
elected by from $4,000 to 10000 majority
and the Legislature is largely Republi
can.
In New Jersey, where a part of th'
State Senate and members of the As,
tsembly were chosen, the Republican,
carry majority of the Legislature.
In Connecticut, where half Of the Sen
ate and the Lower House OF the Genera
Assembly was chosen, the Republican.
have met with slight losses, but no
enough to weaken their control of thai
body.
In Iowa, where there were at leas
four tickets iu the field, Hon. VIM. Lar
rabee, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, was elected by a plurality Of aboGl
10000, and q Republican Legislature.
| The chief State issue was the repeal el
the further trial of prohibition, and tht
Republicans supported the existing law
the Democrats and Greenbaekers Oppos
ing, and favoring a low license.
In Virginia, by the most unscrupulou.
of election machinery which was all i1
their own hands, the Democrats viii
count their majority for their red-shirteC
Lee up to $4,000, and carry both branch
es of the Legislature, which will elect q
successor in the the United States Senate
to Malone.
In Mississippi, the election was fol-
Governor, State officers and the Legisla'
ture. There was no Republican ticket
in the field, and the voting was all one
sided Democratic.
Maryland is intensely Bourbon as
usual, showing no signs of deliveranct
from the ring rule of the Germans and
Higginses.
Nebraska is Republican by the usua
majority, while in Kansas the elections
for county OFFICIALS, the Republicans are
almost uniformly victorious.
Generally speaking, the elections show
that the Republican party retains its vi.
tality, and that there is nothing lost il
the elections OH Tuesday, which it can
not regain, when the issues arise to cal
out the Republican hosts. 5 *
