The figures which we present in another column, showing the result of the election in this county "last Tuesday, are encouraging to all friends of honest reform and good government, as they are also, we hope, instructive to all political trim mers. It was demonstrated ia Oc tober that the Democrats of Han- cock vere true to their party orgsni Zition. While they showed this by coming up zealously to the support of their State ticket, they at the same time showed their suspi cion of the Deme-Liberai coalition movement by allowing sir. blosne to (all behind the Democratic vote by over 100 votes. Taking from Mr. Sloane the Repub lican votes he received in Amanda townehip, . and his majority fell be hind that of the State ticket by 150 rotes. Bat the'disgust of the mass- m 4.1 T" a. ai ? m i iflmrMTKv n n ins, ir mm nn of their leaders, culminated last Tuesday, when scores oi Democrats disfranchised themselves by remain Jng awsy from the polls rather than stultify a consistent record by voting for Horace Greelev.

Indiana, Illinois, Delaware, and North Carolina O. K. Republican Gains Everywhere Maryland Probably for Grant ALAS! POOR HORACE It is impossible at this writing to definitely State the figures under which the people ot thia country bur ied the mock reform coalition. It suffices to say that the rebuke of th corrupt coalition is decided, and the majorities in favor of Republicanism are simply stupendous. Horace Gree ley is undoubtedly the worst beat candidate that ever ran for Presiden tial honors. The fiat ot the people has gone forth, and we rejoice that Political treachery and demagogueism has received so stuning a blow. From a mass of Associated Press dis patches we glean the following : The New England States go solid for Grant, by largely increased major ities. Maine gives 18,000 : Vermont. 20,000; New Hampshire, 5,000 Rhode Island 5,000; Connecticut, 3,000. Banks is defeated. New York gives Grant from 30, 000 to 40,000. Greeley's majority in New York City will not exceed 25,000. Dix for Governor and the whole t'u ket is elected. Havemeyer, the Republican nominee, is elected Mayor of New York. New Jersey is claimed for Grant by 3,000 ma jonty. In Pennsylvania the majority for Grant is so large that it can scarcely be enumerated. It is generally re ported at 100,000. Indiana reports Republican gains all over the Mate. Delaware, North and Sonth Carolina, and Maryland are reported for Grant. The mysterious photograph on the on the window pane is a sensation which had its run years ago. The last heard of it was in San Francisco, whence it disappeared, and it was supposed to have gone over to the Sandwich Islands. But it seems to have returned, as will be seen by the following from the Zanesville Courier "One ot those curious phenomenons nature, bo seldom seen, and been discovered upon lights of glass (for there are two of them), in a front window of the residence of T. J, Taylor, Esq., on North Fifth street. The pictures can only bo seen from the opposite side of the street, in the early part of the day, before the sun risen above the t ops of the houses, late in the afternoon, when the sun has sunk low. One of the pictures been readily recognized as that of. young man, a relative of Mr. Tay lor's, who visited the family, and made his home with them for some considerable time. The pic ture discloses the young man's head and face, end is said by those who have seen it to be an excellent like ness. The other picture is a profile, and so indistinct as to be unrecognizable. Reports come from New York and Boston that the horse disease is di minisaing, and many horses are again at work. On the other hsnd, Cleveland, Chicago, and other Western points it has spread very rapidly. Six hundred cases are re ported in Clevelanl.and the infection has reached Pittsburg, Louisville and Lexington. The very latest newsot the dis ease show that it is spreading far and wide on this continent, -and has even broken out in England. Chicago and Philadelphia at present appear be suffering most In Baltimore and Washington the disease is ex tensively spread, bnt mild in form, and ia New York its ravages have almost wholly ceased. Wednesday afternoon, Mr. P. C Culbertson, a switchman in the employ the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincin and Indianapolis Railway at Crestline, was run over by a switch engine and instantly killed. He about twenty five years old and leaves a wife and one child. The attempts to close the lianor saloons ia Liverpool, on Sunday, causee great excitement in that city. ' ELECTION RETURNS. INDIANA.

LETTER FROM MISSOURI. a in a of it on in of to be of a The following letter was written to an old resident ot this connty from a former resident ot this place, now in Missouri It will be of interest to a very large portion of our readers : Chillicothe, Mo., Nov. 4. 1372. Dear Old Fbiexd: The labors of another Presidential campaign have closed, speaking ceased and the gatherings dispersed, and tc-morrow will disclose the result of these labors. About the election or re-election oi Grant we have no doubt. But the question, and the all important ques tion with the Republicans ot Missouri is, whether John B. Henderson, or Boss Woodson, shall be Governor of the State; wheiher the Republican party shad be restored to power, or the Democracy continue in power. They are questions that interest us because of their influence upon the prosperity of the State, upon popula tion, enterprise and capital. From 1SG5 to 1870 the State was under the control of the Republican party. During this time, emigrants came in to the State.by thousands and tens ot thousands, and with these emigrants, or ."carpet baggers,1' came capital and enterprise, lands advanced as they had never before in the history ot the State, towns and vl'lages were built up, school houses and churches were erected, and ample provisions made tor the education of every child in the State. And during this time, the Republicans paid off nearly twenty uii'!iobs on a State debt of thirty-eight minions, left aa an inheritance to the State by the Democracy, and left thirty one thousand dollars cash in the Treasury. But now, how is it under that little man with large red hair un der Gratz, and the Democracy ? Instead of reducing the State debt, they have increased it, and to-day the treasury of the State of Missouri is bankrupt, her credit goes begging on the market. Just think, my dear sir, of the grrat State of Missouri going to protest, while the Governor goes about the country asking the people to elevate him to the Vice Presidency. But this is not all nor the worst, under Gratz and the Democracy, we have, in the South Western part of the State, a thorough Ku Elux or ganization in complete working order, and among the recent victims ot this Missouri En Klux organization, is the Rev. Thomas Callahan, once a resident oi Hancock county, Ohio. Mr. Calla han states that while he was watching over his sick wife at the hour of mid night six men entered his room, in sulted his wife and dragged her from bed, seized and tied him and led him out to the woods, tied him with his face to a tree, and then gave him seventy-five lashes on the naked back, and in cutting the bark with which they had tied him to the tree, they cut the wristbands of his shirt and in doing so, they cut the last stitch of of clothing from his body. Naked and barefooted, they turned him loose to go to his home, with ten day's time to make his escape from Reynolds county, the place cf his res idence. He obeyed their commands, packed np, and about six weeks ago, came to our city. Complaint was lodged with the United States author ities at St. Louis, and the parties have been arrested, and held to bail for their appearance at St. Louis on the 20th inst. for trial. Since the arrest of these parties, Callahan's main wit ness has been shot and killed by this or ganization. If the party under which such outrages are committed.iscontin ued in power, a party that has bankr upted the Treasury, snd broken down the State'creditjWhat have we to hope for in the future of Missouri ? I have heard Callahan make four stump speeches and preach onesermon He is a good speaker, and has made a favorable impression among the Re publicans of this city. But the Rebel press here is out on him red hot, making divers tearful charges against him. That his character sbou.d be be assailed we are not surprised. But after all, it would be some satis faction to myself and others, to know what kind of a character he sustained while a resident of Hancock County. Before yon read this letter, we shall know the doom of Missouri, whether she goes np or down. Your Old Friend, LETTER FROM MISSOURI. J. T. F. IMMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES. Emigration from the ports of Eng land and the continent to the United States Is of late the assuming prodig ious proportions. On the 2d of Oct. the emigration officers at 'Liverpool completed their quarterly report of tha exodus from that port. Compar ed with other periods as with the pre ceding quarter, the increase ia enor mous. During July, August and September, ninety-nine ships left Liverpool for the United States, car rying 36,491 steerage passengera.and nearly 6,000 in the cabins. Seventeen ships left for Canada, carrying 5,667 emigran's; one left for Victoria and two for South America. Tho aggre gate number of passengers was 50,- 385 of whom the greater proportion 13,299 were English, and only 5,104 Irish. This most notable fea'ore of (he quarter's return is the sudden ac cession of Swedes, Danes and Germars to the emigration from Liverpool na less than 15,853 ot the whole number having been drawn from the Scandinavian and German countries, coming by way of null to ie United States, ii preference to shipping from tha Baltic direst by the Bremen and German Lloyd's steamers The Liverpool returns show that during the whols quarter the departures of ships for the United States have average! .more than one per day ; while the emigrants have flocked westward at the rate of 12,- 000 per month or 154,000 per year. English artisans and laborers are be- gining to count largely ia the emigra tion and it appears that they avoid Canada probably'oa account of the well-founded conviction that English rule, whether eolonia')r home, offers fewer Inducements to the industrious and enterprising than the free and independent life of a republic The Greeley campaign cost Gov. Sprague thirty-five thousand dollars, Greeley and the Tribune twelve thousand, and A. T. Stewart & Co. ten thousand.

Victoria Woodhull and Miss Tesnie C. Claflin have each been seek ing notoriety for several years past, and they have been very successful in the search. 'Just at this time they have succeeded in placing themselves ia a position to be 'persecuted," as the following dispatch to the Associ ated Press will attest and explain : A great deal of talk was occasioned about town this evening, over the arrest of Woodhull and Claflin. Pro ceedings against them were first tak en bv Mr. L. C. Caallis, a well known broken, who last night applied for warrants for their airest lor a gross, scandalous, malicious article on him. These warrants were accordingly issued, but before they could be exe cuted, some one acting on behalf of another libeled parly, as it ia said, and importing the aid ot Comstock, the famous enemy to obscene litera ture, had warrants issued against the mesdames by United States Com missiocer Osborn. The affidavits in the case were made by Albert Ander son, a poatofEce clerk, a Mr. Wood lev, of Brooklyn, and J. W. Rees, a clerk in the Independent fnewspapor) office, who swear to the Bending of offensive publications through the mail by the accused. The witnesses in the case, Wm. Moody, a negro, and C D. Miles, who mailed the pa pers, were sent to the House of De tention. The two were taken to the Commissioner's office in a carriage, thence to iail until Monday morning, when the hearing will come off. They manifested their usual boldness and descanted on the way to prison on th 'outrage" of their arrest and confinement over Sunday. They in stated upon suitable apartments at T nAinw atreet iail. This afternoon, u pon a warrant issued by Mayor li&u, a seizure was made ot the establish ment of Woodhull and Claflin, togeth er with the books, furniture and ao much of the publication as was lound. The indignation of the community, generally has been aroused at the brazenness and audacity shown by the publication complained or, and the orosecuting parties purpose pur suing the case vigorously. Mr.Challis has also causei the arrest of the sc called Colonel Blood, who is charged wi.h being a accomplice ; also Deis ise, the stereotyper, and Mr. S-nitb, the printer of the ecandalizmg paper. The statutarv penalty for sending obscene literature through the mail ia imprisonment for ono year ana foOO fine. [From the New York Times.] THE LATE JOHN A. GRISWOLD. The Republican Party of this State has sustained a heavy loss in the death of Mr. John A. Griswold, of lroy, He was cne of our staunchest friends man who firmly, we may almost religiously, believed in the principles and objects of the Republican Party, and who would at any time have made heavy sscrificea to insure their success. The same shrewdness and perseverance which he brought to bear upon his private business, he Q lwftva ready to apply to the task of maintaining his political prin ciples, and defending his associates. We have seen, during me iatt icw months, conspicuous and memorable instances of the readiness with which some men can falsify their entire political career, upbraid their friends of a lifetime, and denounce every opinion they ever held. Selfishnees and treachery seem to come natural ly to men like Reuben E Fenton and De Witt C. Litttlejohn not to men ton others of still greater preten sions. Mr. Griswold was a man of a very different stamp. He was always true to bis convictions, and was guid ed by as fine a sense of honor as was ever entertained by a man in publh life. When in Congress, at a troubled and embarrassing period, he showed the greatest tact and good sense, and would have saved some of hi friends from great mistakes if they had fol lowed bis advice. In 1868 he was certainly elected Governor of the State, but was counted ont by the in famous system of fraud which Tammany had by that time perfected. The Tribune always declared, until thia year, that Mr. Griswold was da ly elected but now that it ' responds to Tammany," it is cf opinion that the Democratic candidate tairly won. We are deeply grieved to speak of Mr. Griswold's career as one that is closed. He bad great opportunities of usefulness before him and in his private position his lite was very precious to hii own family and to his tiiends. Few men had so many friends or bo few enemies. 118 was alwavs welcome wherever he went a man who carried with him a fund of cheerfulaess and good humor, which were irresistible in taeir in fluence, and which made him a de ligbtful guest at every table and in everv household. He was in all re spects a true and henest gentleman, a man cf a type never too common, and less common now man ever. Our regret for his lose will be Bbared bv everv one who knew mm, ana with this regret will be associated a deep feeling ot sympathy ior tne wue and children who have been bereaved under unusually sad and distressing circumstances. Ox of the New York papers gives a long acconnt of the great religious pilgrimage being made to Lourdes in France. Lourdes, an insignificant village np 1858, has Bince become famous for an alleged miraculous spring and wonders equally marvel ous. February 1 1 , of that year, three poor children were out picking np sticks, and on the bank of a small brook, one of them, Berandette, had a vision. She saw a radiant virgin in pure white, holding a long chaplet on her arm. smile, make the sign of the cross, and disappear. She Lad the same vbions, and finally had com munion with the angel visitant. The peasantary witnessed the child's in terviews, bnt could see nothing. The authorities at last arrested her, but could make nothing else of the case Subsequently the spring ot water came with numerons curative prnpre- ties- It has been the beginning of great religious expression by many Catholics. It is stated that as many as 50,000 Lave gathered there at once to see the wonders performed. 240,000,000 BUSHELS. According to the October crop re port irom tne department of Agri culture, the Wheat crop of the United States will reach two hundred and forty million bushels, raised on an area of less than 20,000,000 acres, wuica is an average yield or from twelve to thirteen bushels per acre, ana an increase cf about five per cent over the product ot last Tear. Some the States made superior crooa. ana otners almost ine poorest ever . . . . - grown. The New Easland States nearly sustained their usual average, and California increased her product aoout seventy-uve per cent, while in some of the Southern and Western States there was a large decrease. The crop, however, gives assurance that we shall not lack for bread at home, and have some to spare for other more destitute lands. The Corn crop or 1372 is one of. largest ever known in the country The crop of Oats is slightly larger than last year, and will aggregate about 20R,900,000 bushels. The Bar ley and Rye crop will scarcely equal that of last year. Sbkridax & Gcisi' third door south of the Joy House. THE INUNDATION IN ITALY. firm the worst apprehensions concern ing the extent ot damage wrought by the recent inundations of the Po and 113 uiuuiai.o. auc A O IS ifle IHrfTMt river in Italy, and is navigable lor the greater part of its course. Owing to the level character ct the country through which it flows this stream. liKe most oi its tri cutanea, ia exceed ingly sluggish, and in seasons of heavy rain or thaw in the mountains, which surround it on three sides, is unequal to the task of carrying off the water with sufficient rapidity to prevent in undation. Floods along its banks have been frequent from the earliest antiquity, and furnished a fruitful theme to Latin poets. The fertile plain ot Lombardy, which seems to have suffered most severely, slopes from the Rhaetian Alps to the river at a gradient ot hardly more than five feet to the mile, and the whole face of the coun try is intersected by mountain rivu lets and artificial canals for the pur pose of irrigation. The rich calca reous alluvial deposits from the moun tains make this a valuable source ot fertilization, and it is more largely and more successfully resorted to by the Lombard farmers than by those of any otner portion oi the glober The typographical features already mentioned make this .section unusually liable to the destructive violence ot the waters, bnt this danger is sf ra vated by a remarkable peculiarity in uie oeu oi toe river liseii. The disasters resulting irom inunda tion early led tha inhabitants of the valley to protect their live3 and prop erty by confining the river within embankments, as is done in many lo calities along the Mississippi. From Piacenza down, the Po is confined by embankments ot very ancient date but instead of constantly scouriner out its bottom, aa would be done by swtter stream, it is constantly depesi ting new material and gradually rais ing iu bed. Th6 embankments, have been elevated by the people pari passu with the deposits of the river until the bed of the stream is now ele vated above the level of the surround ing country, h errara. where the greatest loss ol life and property has occurred, the bed ot the river ia above the tops of the houses. Under these condition of things we can readily accept the statement that hundreds of kilometres of the most fertile land in Italy are under water, that whole towns are submerged, and that in some places the water reaches to the roofs of the highest buildings. The suffering and the banishment of the refugees must be great and prolonged, lor the waters will not subside as in an ordinary overflow. The probabilities are that pestilence will result from the stagnation ot the superfluous water on the lowlands, and this be added to the other trials of these unfortunate people. It ia gratifying;- to learn that the practical benevolence so often ex hibited in our own country, is more active in behalf of the suflerers by this disaster, and that supplies are going forward from all of N. Y. Post. [From the New York Tribune, Oct. 31.] DEATH OF MRS. HORACE GREELEY. Mrs. MaryY. C.

She was born and educated at Litchfield, Mir :necticus. in her youthful matu rity she came to this city, and here established a school for the education of young ladies, which she conducted successfully for a considerable time. She eut'sequently established a similar institution at Warrenton, N C .which was only discontinued upon her mar riage with Mr. Greeley, on the 5 h of July, 1836.

She had been a confirmed invalid (from disease of the lungs complicated with nervous disorders) for something more than e.evea years, during most oi whicu time she had been a great but patient sufferer. In search of restored health she had several times visiied Europe and the tropica, but wiiuuuk avail. A few weeks before her death she was removed to the residence of Mr. A. J.

A NEW MOTIVE POWER. The fearful spread of the new dis ease among horses has elicited mueh speculation as to the probability of socuriog some other motive power on street railways. Already we notice several suggestions on this head, tbe most important of which, is by a Dr. Emillie Lanno, of New Orleans. Dr. Lar.no has invented a steam engine for this purpose, which Las been test td on one of the roads in the Cresent. City, and found to work most success fully, saving thirty-three per cent, oi the cost of running cars by mule pow er. 2o nre is used. The new inven tion is .described aa follows: Tha driving engine is of ordinary eharaater. It has a reservoir large eaoogh to contain three hundred gallons of wa ter with steam room above it. The boiler is of steel, and ie well covered with non-conducting material to pre vent the radiation of the heat Tha. motive power of this engine is obtain ed by means of the compression of steam in water, the steam being con ducted from a stationery boiler at the end of the track, which dispenses with the firing up process while under way. The steam with which tbe engine is charged is sufficient (according to the capacity of the boiler; to perform a. trip of trom ten to fifteen miles. At the time of changing the temperature in the boiler it is 380 degrees Fahren heit, the pressure of steam being about one hundred and seventy pounds to the square inch. There ie not the least danger of explosion in uing this ap paratus, as the pressure in the reeer- voir can never rie above the point reached at the time of charging, and it is necewarily constantly diminiihing as the power is expanded So simple is iu construction there is lest ski'l required in handling this locomotive than a horse or mule. Ten public debt reduction for Oc tober was $5,228,417, as against over ten millions for September. The falling of this montn is owing to large payments on tbe publio works. such as buildings, harbors, light houses, etc., to get ready for the coming winter : and to the reduction ot customs and internal revenue re ceipts under the new tax iff and inter nal revenne law. Kevertneaess, tne reduction it large enough, and the people would be satisfied u it was never any more ; being atout $65, 000,000 a year. That amount is bet ter than more ; aca it wui oe vne oa ty of Congress to keep taxes down, taking off one tax alter another, so as to keep the monthly debt redaction down to this standard. The Repub licans know how to. do it, aa taey have shown.
