RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
Returns Indicate Plurality for Davh
 for Govarnor.

 for Governor.
 PROVIDING :, R. l., Arrn 1.-The returns Indicate plurality for Davis (Dem.) for Governor, but the election will probably ] not be decided by yesterdays voting The size of Davis plurality will not be known 1 until the vote of this city is made up The two big Democratic wards, the sixteenth and tenth, are yet to be heard from. Out side of these Davis and Ladd are about even.
 Twenty-one towns {outside the four cities) give Ladd (Rep.) 4,913, Davis Dem) 4,O1s Richardson (Pro.) 52S, Chace Law En- forcemenD 95s. Pawtucket gives Davis 500 majority.
 The fourth party, whose sole object was to oppose resubmission to the people of the Proh1bitory amendment was solidly estab lished in remarkably short time, and was made up largely of Republicans. In Provi- dence and most of the towns they joined the third or Prohibition party on the legislative ticket, the result being that while there were four general tickets there were only three legislative tickets, and while the State ticket fails of election by the people the legislative ticket is mostly elected The Fourth party vote is big one. In this city it is four times as big as the Prohi- bltion vote, and the two combined are fatal to any hopes of majority of the leading candidates.
 The Legislature will be Republican in both branches.
 The Legislature will probably vote to re- submit the Prohlbitory amendment to the people.
 One of the curious features of the cleo ton is the apparent absence from the polls of the g, 900 new voters who were expected to cast their first vote under the enlarged suffrage act.
 If these new recruits all voted there must have been an equal number of old votes who abstained from voting. At any rate no one can tell which part if either has the benefit of the 5000 new votes.
 The legislative tickets are badly scratched.
 LATER-Thirty towns out of 36, including all the cities except Providence, give Davis D,o94; Ladd, 9,174; Richardson, sos; Chace. l,952. Davis lacks ,S35 of majority.

become demoralized however that
it will take a long time, even un-
der the improved conditions | out
lined in 1850, to change them. Ul-
timately the Indians should have
political rights. A few chiefs now
control large numbers of Indians,
and these have become willy poll

among their people, and play the
tricks Of politicians to get it. and
they expect to be bribed to make !

entitled to profound respect and
grave attention by reason Of the
frank and unreseryed manner of
it's expression and of its being the
result Of nearly five decades Of ex
perience and study under circum-
cumstances which were peculiarly
favorable with the thorough un-
derstanding Of the subject matter.
1t is Gen. II. H. Sibley Of st. Paul.
As far back as August 1850 the
General then representing this
Territory in Congress delivered a
speech in which he set forth the
causes of Indian discomfort in that
day as growing out Of the
Detective Manner
in which treaties were made; the
frequent unftness Of the persons
selected as commissioners to treat
with the Indians, and the slender
regard paid to carrying out the
stipulations Of the treaties. He in
sisted that the commissioners
should have practical knowledge
of the peculiarities Of the race,
and should be men of undoubted
honesty and good character. The
Indians finding they had been be.
trayed, were little disposed to re-
ceive instruction, or to reform
their habits, and become apathetic
as to their fate. His policy was to
throw over them the protection of
the laws of the United States as
the substratum for future reforms I;
to give each individual certain
quantity of land on condition that
The should cultivate it for three
consecutive years, the land being
inalienable, and that the Indian
Eshould be given civil privileges
political rights being withheld un
: It'll he had advanced sufficiently tt
\ appreciate them. The General al
, so advised the esta blishmont Q

ing it obligatory upon India,
children to attend them.
The General has never fonn
any reason to change these sent
bments and he has steadfastly &C

/ . e i.

N expressed himself pointedly in r,
Elation to matter which bids fa

4 NIeritsd Tribute to aIs Nobility Of Char
acter rs y Man.
The whole country and the whole
English reading world united in their
tribute Of honor and esteem to the good
Quaker poet, John g. Whittier, on his
eightieth birthday. Whittier is an old
man whose work is done. All the an
tagOnisms Of his prime are long since
forgotten, and MI the asperities OF his
early work have long since lost their
bitterness, and now, in the benign
peace Of his old age, he sits as it Wern
in the warm chimney corner OF y Ma
tion's regard, the most yeneratesi
figure, perhaps, in the whole land. Mr..
Whittier has no family Of hisnWn, but
now. in his old age, that indescribabi'
feeling Of family regard goes ont il-
resistibly toward him from a whole
people. He holds the pleasant place o.
gran pa III the Nation heart.
