THE OCTOBCR K1.K4 HONS AMI THEOITLOOK.

Five State will hold elections next month.First i,n t hi- - list conies Colorado, which onthe Hi of October ewn State officer andeonfiTesmrfu 1 - s Uei-tin- wita haJfat supreme court judge, which resulted in amajority of 4218 for Beck, the Republicancandidate; the year before the Republicanmajority on an election for congressman was2291, and the legislature for 1879-'8- 0 stands:Republicans 55; Democrats 19, and NationalGreenbackers 1. Strong hopes are entertainedthat the influx of miners into the State,Democratic in politics, will more than over-come the majority of last year and that atriumph, is assured. An earnest and intelli-gent canvass has lieen made and harmonvprevaib in t he pnrty. Georgia will follow

the next day, the sixth, with anelection for State ' officers, anda legislature that elects a United States sen-

ator. There are two iJemocratic tickets inthe field one headed by the present gov-

ernor, the other by Norwood, whois backed by General Tisirubs and confidentlyexpects to get the negro vote. The Repub-licans are not in the field. What the out-come will be it is impossible to say. Both'actions are bitter and confident. The Demo-

cratic electoral ticket has so far no opposi-tion, but in all the congressional districtsthere will be opposition. Oh the twelfth, In-

diana will elect State officers, a legislaturethat is to elect a United States senator, andcongressmen; Ohio, minor State officers andcongressmen; and West Virginia, minor Stateofficers, a legislature that elects a" UnitedStates senator, and will vote upon two pro-

posed amendments to the State constitution,relating to courts and to trials by jury. Indi-ana elected Hendricks governor in 1872; itgave 17,000 Democratic majority in 1874,6515 Democratic majority in 1876, and 13,736in 1878. At present the unknown quantityin the campaign is the fusion vote.This it is confidently believed will be cast forthe Democratic ticket, the canvass for whichhas been conducted with rare discretion,skill and energy. We qught to carry Indianaby at least 10,000 majority. Hayes in 1876carried, Ohio by a majority of 7516 over Til-de- n;

bet Bishop in 1877 overwhelmed this.He swept the State, carrying it by 22,520over .West, his Republican opponent: Fos-ter's majority last year over Ewing, hisDemocratic opponent, was 17,129, and overall his opponents only 3352. A fusion of allthe elements in opposition to the Republicanswill eiiable the Democrats to recover lostground and carry the State by at least 5000majority. Already this is conceded byzealou? Republicans who, while theyclaim to have made a better con-

test of the State than the Demo-crats, admit that they find the sentimentagainst them and that they are behind in theclose and intimate work that brings the can-

vass home to every voter. Tilden carriedWest Virginia, in 1876, by a majority of7531, and the Democratic candidates forcong.-e- were elected in 1878 in the firstdistrict by a plurality of 3409; in the secondby a majority of 8603; and in the third bya majority of 2827. It has been generallyconceded from the first that the Democracywould carry West Virginia, but the leadersof the party deemed it wise to make anearnest canvass. This they have done, andwith the best results. After these five elec-tions no more will bo held until the greatPresidential contest of November 2d. This,we have reason to lielievc, will result in theelection of Hancock and English, by hand-some majorities. Virginia is the only south-ern State in which the electoral ticket isdoubtful. The, contending State-cred-it

and repudiation factions are making acanvass that for bitterness has seldom beencipialed in the history of that State.Both have electoral tickets in thetitld, jikI twill refuse to withdraw or com-

promise. Efforts to this effect by influentialparting in and nut of the State have failed,and the fight waxes in intensity and bitter-ness every day. The negroes will rote withthe RekAjustern under the lead of GeneralMahone, recently elected I'nited States sena-tor, and it is hoped, and very positively pre-dicted by the leaders of that party, that they"ill elect their Hancock and English electors.Last year the contest turned whnllv on the

debt-fundin- g act pa-so- d by the legislatureearly that year, and the net result was theelection of 17 KoadjuMer to the senateand 41 to the house, against 4 debt-peyin- g

leuio,rats to the senate imd 42 to thehouse. The Republicans also elected 9 tothe senate and 17 to the house; these on theprompt performance of promises made toGeneral Mahone in the name of the Readjust.

'r threw their votes for that party, and arenow in the field canvassing for it. We thinkit sate to enmt on Virginia and topredict a solid south for Hancock andEnglish. Of the northern States wecount with certainty on carrying Cal-

ifornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana,Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, NewYork, Oregon, and perhaps lliio and Fenn-sylvxii- n.

Iti this last State the revulsion inpopular seutimeiit is something astounding,surpassing anything dreamed of in July, orthat 'was predicted by the most sanguineDemocrats. The campaign is everywherebeing prosecuted with energy and great goodsense. In our own State the prospect,though doubtful for the State ticket, is cer-

tain for the Hancock and English electors.Ho it is in Georgia. To recapitulate, weclaim for

THE LAST .l SPIKED.Four years ago, when the signs of the

times indicated the election of Tilden beyondthe possibility of a doubt, the Republicansbecame desperate. The leaders met in coun-cil for the purpose of discussing the situation,and to manufacture, if possible, some

to frighten the people and tochange the current of the tide that wassweeping over the country. It was unani-mously resolved that if Tilden was electedPresident he would recommend the paymentof the rebel debt, and all losses sustained bythe emancipation of the slaves and by Unioncitizens. And then the howl about thereclaims commenced in the loyal States. Itwas shown that the election cf Tilden wouldmore than double and reduplicate the na-

tional debt, that the tariff would have to beincreased, taxation trebled, and the proii-ert- y

of loyal men confiscated to enrich trait-ors. This lie was short-live- Livingstonedescribes scenes which occasionallyoccur in Africa that illus-trates the conduct of the Re-

publicans over the war claims. The greatAfrican explorer says that all the smalleranimals congregate around a carcass andgrowl and snarl at each other; but in themidst of the feast a roaring lion with glaringeves and vibrating tail comes to the foowithout .. ticket of invitation or sending hiscard. Great is the consternation. The wolftucks his tail between his hind legs and hasurgent business to transact in the distantwilderness; the jackals turn somersaultsin reaching their hole in the ground, whilesmaller animals scramble up the nearesttree, and snuff the breeze from afar. Fouryears ago, while the Republicans were enjoy-ing their feast over the dead carcass of therebellion, and rejoicing that they bad founda hobgoblin to frighten the northern peopleinto the support of Hayes by shakingat them the rebel war claims,the roaring Samuel J. Tilden,with switching tail, pounced into themidst of the revelers ami dissipated the con-

templated feast of the hungry crew. He toldthe country that the rebel war claims shouldnot be paid; that the Union men should notbe compensated for their losses, and that hewould veto any bill passed for that purpose,as most of these claims were frauds in thehands of lobby members who lived by bur-

glary upon the public treasure. These partyjackals were driven from this last feast, butin looking at Tilden from a safe distance,they congratulated themselves that severalsouthern States would vote against Tilden onaccount of his letter repudiating the rebeldebt and the claims of the Union men. Butthe south voted solid forTilden, thus showingthat in supporting him, they were not actua-ted by avarice. The Republicans are tryingto play the same game in this canvass. Theexigency requires desperate means, and sosoon as it was known that Maine was lost,they fell back on the old lie about bankruptingthe government, and confiscating the prop-erty "of the country in paying the rebelclaims. But, imitating the example of Til-

den, Hancock suddenly makes his appear-ance in a letter still stronger than that writ-ten by Tilden four years ago. We publishedit in yesterday's Appeal, and the reader willsee that Hancock exterminates this last false-hood with as much ease as people used to putout the candle with the extinguisher hanging to its side. We are a little curious to seewhat falsehood will next be fabricated to in-

jure Hancock. Every time he is thrown intothe crucible he comes out refined gold. Asthe canvass progresses his character standsout in the majesty of its beauty and purity.The assaults of his enemies can no moredamage him than the rat-ta- il file was dam-aged by the poison of the venomous viperwhich gnawed upon it all day. W.S.Hancockstands up before the world so strong inhis impregnable rectitude that any attemptto defend him against an assault on his char-acter would be an insult: so invulnerable ishis impenetrable armor of integrity that thearrows of malice fall harmless at his feet.Detraction and calumny can do no harm tosuch a man. He needs no defense. Insteadof harming him or impairing his Presidentialprospects, all the falsehoods that Radicalmalice can invent will only serve to call at-tention to a character that may safely defycyclones of slander and tempests of calumny.

AN EVENTFUL WEEK.Notwithstanding the fickle and inconstant

weather,full of moods and caprices, whimsicaland fanciful, now all smiles and next alltears, frowned upon the city and its gueststhe jubilee of last week was a grand success.For three days the hotels and boarding-house- s

were crowded, and most of the promi-nent streets were almost impassable. Therewas noise, confusion and elbowing every-where. The decorations were extensive, va-ried and unique, and many houses werehandsomely illuminated. The fireworks pre-sented a gorgeous blazonry of beauty, andwere highly creditable to J. B. Cook, who,perhaps, contributed as much to the successof the occasion as any one man in Memphis.The pressure upon our columns precludedthe possibility of editorial comment uponmany things that deserved notice,and prominent among these werethe speeches in Court square. The welcomeaddress of Colonel George Gantt was felicit-ous, graceful and appropriate from the be-

ginning to the end. As he progressed herose to wide and broad considerations of thepresent situation of our business and petitica.and brought before an audience admirablyrepresenting all the branches of southerntrade, the widening opportunities that areoffered for a new career of develop-ment and prosperity, and of uniting and sol-

idifying the I'nion. Colonel Gantt was putupon his mettle and he was equal to the oc-

casion. His speech was of magic- and thrill-ing influence and effect. Much of its forceconsisted in its originality. Many of thespeeches of the present day are made up ofshreds and patches from the utterances ofothers, and when published present the ap-pearance of a pieced bed-qui- There is alittle bird on the Nile that subsistsby pi nek ing food from the teeth ofthe sleeping crocodile. Even theAmerican eagle, the proud emblem ofliberty, depends, in procuring his food.chieflyupon the labors of others. He watches thefish-haw- k as he dives into the sea for hisprey, and darting down upon him as he rises,forces him to relinquish his victim, and thenseizes it before it again reaches the water.Too many orators imitate the bird upon theNile and the thievish eagle. When selectedto deliver an address on great occasions thevmistrust their own abilities and commencehunting for a sleeping crocodile or the datnlvfood which some industrious fish-haw- k hasclutched in his talons. Knowing that suchdependence make- - intellectual dwarfs andmoral cowards, Colonel George Gantt alwavsrelies upon himself, and draws upon his own

'

solid bank, and his drafts never come backprotested His speech on Wednesday lastshows that he was wise in depending uponthe originality of his own great mind, for ifhe had culled and plagiarized from the great-est orat. rs of the age, he could nothave surpassed the speech which the vastcrowd in Court square united in pronouncingone of the most able, eloquent aud appro; ii J

ate s- - s that they had ever heard deliv-ered on any occasion. It was an orationcogent and conclusive; its diction chaste andcaptivating, brilliant and beautiful. Gov-ernor Albert S. Marks, who listened withprofound attention to the address of welcomedelivered by Colonel Gantt, pronounced itone of the finest efforts he had ever heard,and expressed his regret at having to followsuch a speaker. But as one star differs fromanother only in brilliancy so did these twodistinguish,,! sons of Tennessee differ.Governor Marks had no time to prepare aspeech, and all that he said was extempora- -

neon-- . He is one of that class of men whocan be trusted to say the right thing in theright way, with good taste and discretion,and his response to Colonel Gantt's speech ofwelcome was singualarly appropriate. Thespeech of welcome and the replywere characterized by shining abilities.Governor Marks endeared himselfto the people of Memphis by the sulwtantialaid he rendered in the hour of need and suf-

fering, and there was not a heart in the vastcrowd he addressed on Wednesday last thatdid not respond to the lieautiful tribute hepaid to Dr. D. T. Porter. The speech ofJudge T. W. Brown, welcoming GovernorLuke P. Blackburn, of Kentucky, was full ofbroad thought and ideas, repletewith beauty and brilliancy. The response ofGovernor Blackburn was able and eloquent.Every word showed his friendship for Mem-

phis, and there is no man in all this broadUnion that the people of this city lovewith as much affection as thev J" Governori nk, t- -. uiackhu.. nfe people of Tennes- -see are opposed to fraud in elections; but ifit had bem necessary to secure the electionof Governor Blackburn to the position henow adorns as governor of Kentucky, ourState would have colonized 50,000 voterson the dividing line. The tribute whichGovernor Blackburn paid to the wo-

men of Memphis was as eloquent and beauti-ful as it was deserved. Governor Blackburnwas a tower of strength to the jeopIe of Mem-

phis during the yellow-feve- r scourge of 187.'!.

A physician of great eminence in his profes-sion, and understanding the epidemic asthoroughly as any man in America, he gavehis time and bis money to alleviate the suf-

ferings of our stricken city. Judge Brown,in his reception speech, beautifully and elo-

quently alluded to these generous servicesand the gratitude of the citizens of Memphis.The love which our people cherish for Gov-

ernor Blackburn is not only creditable tothemselves, but it furnishes a useful lesson,by keeping alive great virtues, with a viewto their rsairoduction here and else-

where in similar misfortunes. Ina few appropriate remarks Colonel R C.

Williamson introduced Governor-Elec- t Chur-chill, of Arkansas, whose speech was terseand admirable in taste. He showed that thepeople of Arkansas and Tennessee were knittogether by the indissoluble ties of trade andinterest. General Churchill said that "St.Louis is not the cotton market that Memphisis. The latter stands in the great valleymidway lietween St. Louis and New Orleans,and should control an immense trade." Thepeople of Arkansas who have tried St. Louisconcur with General Churchill in the opin-ion that Memphis is infinitely the best mar-ket, and with new railroad facilities most ofthe cotton produced in Arkansas and raisedin Texas will be shipped to Memphis. Gen-eral Churchill made an impression duringhis short stay in Memphis which satisfied allwho came in contact with him that the peo-

ple of Arkansas would have a wise, safe andable governor in the man they had justelected as their chief executive. And nowthat the jubilee, after a brilliant success, hasbecome one of the events of the past, everycitizen of Memphis turns to the future withan abiding faith. The belief is universalthat as Norfolk, Charleston and even Phila-delphia have been freed from epidemics, sowill Memphis escape hereafter. Our sanitarycondition will soon be made perfect. Nocity in the world is more favorably located.Situated in the heart of a country of limit-less resources, fertile in soil and aboundingin all that makes a people great and pros-perous, Memphis is bound to become an im-

mense city. The day of idleness and senti-mental dreaming has passed. The future ispregnant with great events; true men arecoming to the front. With the completionof the projected railroads all our brightesthopes will be more than realized and thepopulation of Memphis will be nearlydoubled during the present decade.

Present anil Presiding at the AfternoonSession A Free Interchange of

Opinion upon the (jreat The-ologir- al

(nestions of theDay Kindly Words.

Philadelphia, September 25. "RevealedReligion in its Relation to Science and Phil-osophy," formed a topic of discussion in allthe papers read at session of the

council. After the usual devo-tional exercises, Henry Calderwood, LL.D.,of Edinburgh, read a paper on the subject of" Relations of Science and Theology," dur-ing which the author briefly and severally re-

viewed the distinctive pecu-liarities of the writings of Tyndall, Darwinand Huxley. This paper was followed byone by Dr. M'Cosh, president of Princetoncollege, New Jersey, but owing to restrictedtime Dr. M'Cosh was able to read only aportion of his paper, epitomizing in the brief-est manner possible the great bulk of itscontents which, according to the title of thepaper, dealt w'nli the question of how todealwith young meri trained in science in thisage of unsettled opinion.

Hon. Horace Maynard presided at the after-noon session. Before the regular business wastaken up a resolution was adopted providingfor the appointment of a c.immittte to considerand report upon, at the next council, all ap-plications for membership in the alliance.

lion. Horace Day then moved that a com-mittee be appointed to have power to passupon applications for admission to the pres-ent council. He remarked that the applica-tion of the Cumberland Presbyterian churchfor admission to membership had been re-

jected, although that church repre-sented 130,000 people who are strictlyPresbyterian in their policy and Presbyte-tia- n

in their doctrine, except the nine sec--tions relating to predestination. Mr. Dayasked how many ol the churches representedin the council believed in these articles, andadded that if the Westminster catechism wasto be written be believed that themajority of churches would favor the omis-sion of a great deal now in it. The remarkelicited a chorus of such cries as "Order!""No!" etc.

After a warm discussion Day's motion wasadopted. The order of the day was a paperon "Apologetics," by Rev. Edward Uepres-sene- r,

D.D., of Paris, but as thatgentleman was absent and the pajierhe had written was in French,it was referred to the publication committee.Prof. Flint read a paper on "AgnosticismBriefly Fixed." His definition of agnosticismwas that spirit which challenges, but refusesto be convinced by evidence. We live, hesaid, in an age when a large number of ieo-pl- e

insist on lieing guided in religious mat-ters by the exercise of their private judg-ment when unfortunately they have littlejudgment to exercise. We live in a critical,analytical age. Numlx-r- s are apt to adoptagnostic views, and support them by whatthey term critical methods. In the speak-er's opinion, the only method by which ag-nosticism can be met in a way that will havea permanent effect is by opposing to its nar-row measures a spirit of piety; to its plausi-ble hypotheies, conclusions dra-- , nfrom allclasses of relevant fact, in a word by a sound,thorough, intellectual biblical scholarship.

Prof. Flint said he had great respofct forCalvin, and believed the doctrine of theWestminster catechism, but he repudiatedone notion, and one that was largely thecause of agnosticism that the study of the-ology came to an end.with the production ofthat catechism. In' conclusion, Prof. Flintsaid that each individual could, by exhibit-ing the beauties of a sincere, vigorous chris-tio- n

life, present against agnosticism a 1horepowerful argument than could possibly lieput into words.

A formal greeting from the Methodistministers of Philadelphia was read, and aresolution acknowledging its receipt wasadoptee! by the council, which then

St. Louis, September 2o. The hearing inthe great telegraph suit of the WesternUnion against the Kansas Pacific railwaycompany, before I'nited States Supreme-Justic- e

Miller and United States Circuit-Judg- e

M'Crary, which commenced on Tues-day last in this city, terminated Thehearing was upon the motion of the defend-ants to dissolve the injunction secured by theWestern Union telegraph company in "Feb-ruary last, in Kansas, and under which thecompany recovered bark the possession ofits lines seized by the Gould combination,which has secured the control of the KansasPacific road, anel which sought to put theHues under the control of therailroad and the American Uniontelegraph company. Several hearingshave heretofore been had in eliff'erentbranches of the case. It had been alleged bvthe railroad company that its contract witiithe Western I'nion company, under which thelatter held and operated the lines, was voidand in operative. To meet this and otherobjections the Western Union awarded itsoriginal bill, with many allegations, aud,among others, that aside fre-- the contract, itelerived titles to the lines throughout theI'nited States telegraph company, w hich lastCompany w:is permitteel bv a special act ofcongress to build lines on the Kansas Pacificand had, prior to its consolidation with theWestern Union, constructed lines thereon.The hearing has not only attracted particularinterest on account of the important issuesinvolved, but on account of thelegal and telegraph celebrities in at-tendance. The Western Union telegraphcompany was represented by NormanWilliams, general solicitor, and Judge

of Chicago; Hon. George R. Peck, ofTopeka, and Charles J. Hughes, Es., ofDenver. The I'nion Pacific railway com-pany bad its whole legal stall' present, withthe exception of Judge Dillon, who submit-ted a printed brief. Among them were JudgeI'sher, Mr. Hoppleton. of Omaha; Hon.Archie "Williams, of Topeka; Mr. Teller, ofDenver, and Hon. Mr. Leverest, of Atchison.The American I'nion was represented bv( ieneral Wager Swavne, of New York ; F. B.Swayne, Est., of Toledo, and II. S. Green,Esq., of Springfield, (ieneral Kekert, presi-dent; D. Dnran, general sujierintendent; anumber of superintendents of the Amer-ican L'nion, and Colonel R. C. Clowrv,the general superintendent of the WesternUnion, were also present. The case wasopened by General Swayne, who niade agraceful argument in support of the motion.He was followed by General Williams forthe railroad company. Hon. George R.Peck, of Topeka, made a very strong argu-ment in favor of the Western Union com-pany on Thursday, and was followeel bvJudge Iieckwith in a speech of great strengthand force. The case was closed to day byJudge I'sher, who made au exhaustive argu-ment. These arguments have received theclosest attention of the courts and prominentattorneys. The position relied upon by therailroad was, aside from the obnoxious con-tract, that the United jStatcs telegraph com-pany was organized in 1864 under the lawsof New York, and, as the act if congresscontaining the grant to that company was ofa few months prior date, that the companvcoiild not avail itse-l- f of the grant, not being inexistence. Upon this theory all the printedbriefs and the arguments of the .railwavcompany were based, but at the hearing theWestern I'nion produced a certified copy ofthe certificate or organization of the UnitedStates telegraph bearing date in1S62, which had been overlooked by the rail-way company, and this sudden discovery di-

rected argument to new questions, and com-pelled a departure in the prosecution of thecase. The suit has been vigorously and ablycontested, and this afternoon was submittedto the court for their consideration.

POLITICAL POIMJ.Radial Hurrah in Philadelphia.

Piuladklphia, September The Republican demonstration this evening was, inpoint of numbers, the largest ever witnessedin this city. Broad street, the center of at-traction, was one mass of humanity fromI olumbia avenue, on the north, to Ellsworthstreet, on the south, a distance of over four

miles, with torches, banners and transparen-cies, bands of music and fireworks. Thescene forcibly recalled the Republicandemonstrations in the fall of 1860.The procession was under the command of

Hartranft, and was divided intowings. These wings cottntermarcheel thewhole length of Broad street, and returningon side streets to Market street were dis-

missed. When the head of the columnswere each within a short distance of that por-tion of Broad street in the vicinity of theUnion League house, where three mass meet-ings were being held, they halted to allowthe police time to clear the street of the thou-sands who had assembled to hear thespeeches. At the main stand on the balconyof the League house, and in frontand around it, at least 18,000people were gathered. President Baker in-troduced Senator Blaine, who addressed theassemblage. He was followed by ThomasM. Marshall, of Pittsburg, and R StockwellMatthews, ot Baltimore, Wayne McVeaghand others. Upon a signal from the roof ofthe League house the columns moved overthis cleared space with fronts of eight. It wasthe intention to clear the entire width of thethoroughfare to admit of sixteen men to eachcolumn, but this failed. Over the entireroute the columns marched with a front ofeight. When the League was reached a grandpyrotechnic display took place.

TURKEY.Constantinople, September 25. Riza

Pasha seems to have shaken oft' his apathyand is concentrating at Oarica and sendingthither ammunition from Scutari, which looksas though he was preparing for all emergen-cies. This may have some effect tin the

and league.Admiral Seymour's ultimatum to Riza

Pasha has produced consideable consterna-tion in Constantinople. Admiral Seymourhas just arrived at Ragusa, and it is statedthat action by the combined fleet againstDulcigno is imminent. Admiral Seymourhas broken off negotiations with Riza Pasha.The Albanian leagne has threatened to arrestthe foreign consnls in Albania as soon as thefleet commences hostilities.

Admiral Seymour has issued orders forthe squadron to be in readiness to sail Mon-day. The Russian corvette Zeraenk, withRear-Admor- al Cremer on lioard, leaves to-

night for the Albanian coast.A second note from the Porte to its repre-tentativ-

was issueel on the twenty-secon- d

instant, which finally refuses to order thesurrender of Dulcigno unless the naval de-monstration is abandoned. Diplomatic cir-cles consider that the sultan therebyabandons the pretext of resistance by the Al-banians, and determines to oppose the sur-render in his own name. Itisasserted that thesultan was led to this change in his attitudeby learning that the powers had arrangedthat after the settlement of the Dulcignoquestion the ships should proceed to Volo tocoerce the settlement of the Greek question.
