The Law, Practice and Decisions in Such Cases. At each recurring Presidential election the Democrats have cot failed since the accession of the Republican party to power to clalrd tbtt the employees of Government in the Depart ments here who were housekeepers here have forfeited their right to vote In the States to which they claim State allegiance. This is a question which has been legally determined by tbe courts in several States, as will be seen by the following resume of facts and cases, which has been compiled by Mr. H. C. Harmon for the National Republican. It will be read with interest by all those who claim residence in the States from which they were appointed, and who contemplate going home to vote: There are many clerks in the employ of the General Government in this city who are anxious to exercise the elective franchise at the coming Presidential election, but who, having been told that by removing their fami lies to this city, paying taxes here, &c., they have lost their domicile at their former place of residence, feel somewhat in doubt what to do. Some of these men were denied the right to vote at the recent State elections, and simply because they were living in and around Washington with their families. That these men may not thus be disfranchised by a set of Copperhead judges, I would call their atten tion to the following decision and references: "A person who removes to Washington and holds a public office there does not thereby lose his domicile in tbe place of his former -residence, unless he intends to permanently re side at Washington." Sec Gilchrist's Digest, page 193, 3d par. In the case of Atbcrton vs. Thornton, N. II. Reps., vol. 8, page 173, it was submitted in evidence that defendant (Thornton) resided with his family, and had his dom.cil in Merrimac, county of Hills borough, previous to July, 1830, when he was appointed to an office in the Treasury Depart ment of the United States, and went to the city of Washington, and in November following he removed his wife and one child (leaving one with his mother at Merrimac) to Washington, where he lived in a hired house until the summer of 1S31, when, in con sequence of the ill health of his wife, she ifhd the child returned to his house in Merrimac, and there boarded wi'h his mother. Ou the 1st of October, 1831, the defendant (Thorn, ton) went to Merrimac, and on the 221 of Nov ember, same year, returned to Washing ton with his family, and kept house there un til the 7th of September, 1M2, when, on ac count of sickness in his family, he abandoned housekeeping, and bis wife and children went to Newton, Connecticut, where they remained until September 1, 1833, when they returned to Washington, and he again commenced housekeepiLg there. In April, 1834, his fam ily returned to Merrimac. Thornton had paid taxes in Washington during this time. He had often declared that he did not iutend to make Washington his permanent residence, but that be intended to return to Merrimac. It w as decided in this case that Thornton re tained his domicile in Merrimac, Judge Parker holding that tbe domicile which Thornton had acquired at Merrimac bad been retained, not withstanding his personal residence with his family in Washington. It has been generally considered that per sons appointed to public office under the au thority ol the United States and taking up their residence In Washington fpr tbe purpose of executing the duties of such office do not thereby, w hile engaged in the service of the. Government, lose their domicile in the place where they before resided, unless they, on re moving there, ln'cnd to make Washington their permanent residence. In many cases actual residence is not Indis pensable to retain a domicile after it is once acquired, but it is retained, animo so'o, by the mere intention not to change it. Sec Jud.re Parker, Atberton vs. Thornton, Story's Con flict of Laws, 39 455; Pickering's Report, 377, Howard College vs. Gove, Thompson Digest, D. C, Massachusetts Reports, vol. 17, on dom'cile,&c It was held by persons of no less eminence and legal ability than Daniel Web ster and Caleb Cushlng, late United States At torney General, that no clerk In the employ of the United States could be disfranchised by the mere fact of his lUing herewith his fam ll). and tbe even held that the excicisc of the elective franchise In the municipal affairs of the District of Columbia did not Impair the rhht to vote for President in States where tin j bad resided and had their residence. Since writing the foregoing, and in support oi the doctrine enunciated In the case of Ather ton vs. Thornton, I find a ease reported in the Court ol Common Pleas of Belmont county, Stats of Ohio. The case of Cunningham Hazlett 6. Jacob Hoover ctal., the plaintiff was a disbursing officer in the office of tbe auditor of tbe Post Office Department, and claimed a residence at Morristown, Ohio, where he resided prior to removing to Wash ington. He oiicrcd his ballot at tbe October election or lbMS, and it was refused on the ground of non residence. Suit was instituted against the judges of election for damages In charging the jury the Court used the following language "Plaintiff could not lose his resi dence in this county by the mere fact of remov ing to Washington, marrying a wife, and liv ing or dwelling there with his family, If the removal was lor temporan. purposes, and it rai not the indention to leUwuuJi the formir home and acpiire a nci one. The residence of a person in its legal sense is the place where he has bis true, fixed, permanent home, and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intcttion of returning. It is not the mere fact of Inhabiiance In a place whici makes It the residence, but Is the fact coupled with the in tention of remaining there." Nerdlct was icndered for the plaintiff. I alto find that In 1S70 Edward Hodges, then a clerk In the Interior Department, was refused to register at bis home in Michigan. He brought an action for damages, aud recovered a verdict Judge Holt presiding. In the case of Jones vs. the Commonwealth of l'ennshania (3d Jones, Pa. reports) Chief Justice Gibson, one of the ablest jurists in the country, presiding, said: "A distinguished counsel, who has argued in this case, was not thought to have lost his residence by residing w ith bis family as American Minister near the court of St. Petersburg, andl tbiuk no greater consequence has ecr been attributed to the residence of a Federal officer in the District of Columbia." In the examination of the facts anl law bearing upon tbee cases, of Government cm ploj ees residing temporarily in the District of Columbia, I can find no instance of Federal action adverse to the rights claimed by the clerks. In addition to the cases that have been judicially determined, and Indicative of the opinions of the election officers of the States, I am advised of the cases of H.S. Cum mlogs and Chas. F. Herring, esq. Mr. Cum mings was appointed a clerk in the Treasury Department from Exeter, N. II., during the early part ol the war. He married in this city, and in March, 1S7C, was elected to the New Hampshire Legislature. Mr. Herring, now Deputy Second Auditor of the Treasury, was appointed to office in the Treasury in 1835; married in Washington in lb73, and in lt75 bis name was dropped from the poll-lists of the town of Natlck, Mass. Mr. Herring pre sented the law of his case to the proper au tbcritles, and It was decided that his domicile was in Natlck, aud consequently entitled to register and vote there, which he did at the fall election of 1875, and his name is now borne upon their voting registry. The Demo crats of New Hampshire blustered somewhat about the election of Mr. Cummings, but fin ally subsided when told by their own party lawyers that the doctrine in the Thornton case, eighth New Hampshire reports, was un questionably sound law. If any lawjer or judge of election enter tains any doubts of the law in cases ol clerks employed by the General Government, his at tention is not only Invited to the language u -ed in the cases cited abov e, but to the doc trine held in the case reported in first Wal lace 301; second Michigan, (Douglass) 522; first Binney 340, fourth McLean 374; third Harrison, New York, 139, and Congressional contested cases, 1S24, page 9.

HughMcCullough, ex-Secretary of the Treasury, was then Introduced, and proceeded to address the convention. The speaker re viewed the national bank 6) stem during Mr. Chase's administration of the Treasury De partment, and, coming down to the present time, touched upon the specie resumption question. He thought the country would be ready to resume specie payments in 1879, and said that as soon as resumption took place It would lift the country out of the "slough of despond" into which it has been sunk for tbe last three years. Mr. McCullough next spoke of the double standard for gold and silver, strongly advocating the adoption of a single standard only. In concluding his remarks, Mr. McCu'lough drew a comparison of the present system of banking in the United Mates with that which was in vogue unler authority of the State governments before the late war. Threatened Indian Outbreak. St. Louis, Oct. 4. A dispatch to the Globe Democrat from Leavenworth mentions a re port received there Indicating fears of a gen eral uprising among the Utc Indians In Colo rado, as the warriors of that tribe had been for some time in a doubtful attitude, anl some fears of an outbreak have been felt in New Mexico. The Indians of that section have made several warlike demonstrations and have collided with the troops more than once. From information received from New Mexico it is extremely probable that the red devils will indulge in a general Insurrection as soon as an opportunity offers, as they are without doubt one of the most treacherous tribes on tbe continent. Sheriff Golis, of Laplatte county, telegraphs from Parrott City to Gen eral Routt, asking for assistance, saying that tbe Utes number fully 2,000, and are about to make a raid.

The Republicans claim twenty of the twenty-six Senators and two thirds of the lower House.

This Is reliable and positive. The defeated Democratic candidate for Congress stated to a friend to-day that it was the Inten tion of tbe Democrats here to flood Indiana and Ohio with bogus dispatches until next Tuesday to Influence the elections there. Look out for these dispatches and contradict them. J. C. Wilson, Chairman Republican State Central Com. Speech of Senator Conkling. Hon. Roscoc Conkling, the distinguished Senator from New York, on Tuesday night ad dressed his neighbors In Utica on the political issues of the campaign. Special trains on the several railways brought many auditors from the surrounding country. The speech, which was replete with wisdom, with stubborn facts in the history of the Democratic party, with the grand results of sixteen years of Republi can rule, concluded as follows: In ten years toward $500,000,000 of the debt has been paid, or nearly Sb0,000,000 a year. The annual Interest has been reduced nearly S50,000,000. Tbe annual taxes have been re duced $202,000,000. Since the war the annual expenditures, where tbe Democrats found tbem, have been reduced $27,000,000. Do you believe our opponents would have done or would do better than this' For nine months they had the power all the time in the House of Representatives to propose something. They reduced no tax, they did nothing to im prove hard times; they cut off appropriations, most of which they will put back in deficiency bills; they removed Union soldiers from little places, and, ransacking the whole Govern ment at home and abroad, they filled the land with noise about corruption, and found some instances in which men bad betrayed their trusts and disgraced themselves. I have spoken of some of the things done and to bo 'done. They are not resolutions or talk or high sounding promises they are deeds. The Republican party Is not made up of theorists or critics or professional reformers or vain glorious pretenders to supreme wisdom. Its task has been with actual, dlmcult, vast affairs. It has made mistakes, and the won der Is, not that it has made so many, but so few. Its counsels have in the main been guided by earnestness and good faith. Time will vindicate it. The people will vindicate it by their vote". The Opposition is masquerading for reform, but It Is the same party, hostile in war and wrong in peace it Is the wolf, gaunt and hungry, the wolf wearing sheep's clothes. It seeks power, first by defaming its country and exaggerating facts, and second, by holding out hopes and expectations which politics, however administered, can no more fulfill than medicine can bestow eternal youth ou man. Looking at all the facts, my faith Is, that the nation is safer to abide in the Repub lican ship. Man is restless and discontented at best; when times are bard, to change Is the natural Impulse; but to jump from the frying pan into the fire, is a change as foolish as it is familiar. Commercial and financial depres sion prevails throughout Europe and Great Britain, as well as here. In this country the business outlook is improving. Of this there are many signs, but there Is one better than all. The people of all classes are economiz ing and saving they have been saving for three years. A penny saved is a penny earned, and tbe nation's savings by economy since 1873 If footed up in figures would amaze us all. The expenses of the National Govern ment have been rigorously retrenched also, and retrenchment will and must 'go on. Let us have peace, liberty and order every where. Let an American citizen be as safe everywhere in his own land as he is on foreign soil. Let us have honesty and economy in all public affairs. Let us lift the public credit higher and higher. Let us have the Treasury defended from every unjust demand. Let us make every dollar of currency as good as gold. To do all these things let us vote to keep the Government In the hands of those ,who stood by It and saved It, and keep It out of the hands which sought to destroy it. The prospect of success is bright on every side. If it were not so I should still more regret being less able than usual to advocate a cause In which I never believed more earnestly than now. Trusting that New York will stand at the head ot the column, and that no county will be laggard In the march, I thank you for your attentlon,and trust that prosperity and success will attend you all.

Now, my friends, both of these parties have candidates. The Democratic party trots out Samuel J. Tilden. Who is he ? He Is a man that advertises bis honesty and reform, the same as people advertise quack medicines. In every Democratic paper in the United States he has advertisements of his honesty and re form. Samnel J. Tilden i3 an attorney; a legal spider that weaves webs of technicalities, and catches in its meshes honest incorporated files. He has stood on the shores of bank ruptcy acd clutched the drowning by the throat. Samuel J. Tilden is a demurrer that the Confederate Congress has filejl against the amendments to the Constitution of the United States. Samuel J. Tilden Is an old bachelor. In a country depending npon the increase of Its population for its glory and honor, cheers and laughter, to ele:t an old bachelor is a suicidal policy. Renewed and prolonged laughter. Think of a man sur rounded by beautiful women, dimpled cheeks, choral lips, pearly teeth, shining eyes; think of a man throwing them all away for the em brace of the Democratic party. Laughter. Such a man does not even know the value of time. Laughter. Samuel J. Tilden belongs to the Democratic party of the city of New York. That party sever had but two objects grand and petit larceny. Laughter. They rarely elect a man to office except for a crime committed. They don't elect on a crime credit; it must be a crime accomplished. They have stolen everything they could lay their hands on, and, mv God, what hands! When they had stolen ail the people could pay the Interest on they clapped their enormous hands upon their spacious pockets and shouted for honesty and reform. Ssmuel J. Tilden has been a pupil In that school. He has been a teacher in that school. He was reared in Tammany nail, which bears the same relation to a peniten tiary as a Sunday school to the church. Ap. plauSe. More than this, when tbe rebellion began tbey called a Union meeting at Union Square In the city of New York. It was of great importance how the city of New York should go. No man refusid to sign that pe tition In the city of New York but one, and that man was Samuel J. Tilden. A man that will not lend his name to save his country never should be the President of that country. You offered to give your lives, and he would cot give his Infamous name. Samuel J. Tilden said in ISCO-'Gl: "Our fathers left revolution organized iu every State, so that whenever the public opinion of a State demands it the State can snap tbe tie of confederation that binds it to the nation the same as a nation can break a treaty, and a State can repel coercion the same aa a nation can repel invasion." No one ought to be President who thinks this nation Is a confed eracy. No man ought to be President who has said this war is an outrage. A voice "And he never will be." If he is, hide your scars that now make jour faces sacred, if you have an empty sleeve, bide it; if you have crutches, throw them away; if j ou fought for tho flag, don't mention it. On the other side we are running for the Presidency, Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio. Tremendous applause. Rutherford B. Hayes is an honest man. Renewed applause. Now, some Democrats will say that isn't anything; now you try it. Laughter and cheering. Rutherford B. Hayes is a sincere man. He says what he means, and he means what he says. More than that, he says all he means, and he means all he says. When the war commenced Rutherford B. nayes said: "I would go into this war If I knew I would be killed rather than live through it and not take any part In It." Search all the patriotic records in the world and you will find no nobler words than that noble saying of Rutherford B. Hayes. When Tilden refused to give his name Hayes offered to give his heart. Hayes Is a man of learning, a man of talent, of firmness; I do not say obstinacy, I say firmness. Do you know the difference be tn een obstinacy and firmness? A firm man is a man that stands up for the. right because it is right; an obstinate man Is a man that wants his own way whether right or wrong. Hayes Is a firm man. In the war he received many wounds in his flesh but not a scratch on his honor. Tilden received wound after wound in his honor, but not a scratch in his flesh. Rutherford B. Hayes is a man of spotless character a char acter which rests upon a record, not upon a prospectus. Applause. Good character rests on what you have done, not on what you say you are going to do. Good character rests upon a fulfillment aud not upon a promise. It rests on a specie basis. Into that grand edifice that you call character goes every good and splendid deed of your life. Hayes has built himself a noble character. You can't build a good character in a day. If you could get a good character in a day, the whole Democratic party would have one to-morrow. Laughter. You can't do it. Renewed laughter and applause. Hayes to-day has a Perfect character, and that character rises efore the American people to-day like a faultless edifice domed with honor and pinna cled with patriotism. Applause. I will tell you something: Hayes will be the next President of the United States. Renewed and protracted applause. Rutherford B. Hayes carries at his belt three political scalps; one of Tburman, one of Pendleton and one of Rlse-up William Allen. Laughter. Next November he will have another scalp at that belt. Laughter and cheering. If Mr. TII-. den will feel the top of his head, he will have a realizing sense of who furnished that fourth scalp. How a Tramp Qot His Dinner. Yesterday a tramp called at a dwelling on Berwick street, and told the lady of the house that her husband, Mr. , had sent him to get his dinner; that he (the tramp) was well acquainted with her husband; they had rail roaded together for a number of years, and some time ago he was discharged on account of an accident; that he hadn't a red cent, &c. The lady, of course, believed the tramp, and went to work, and cooked a splendid dinner for him something extra. When Mr. came home his wife said: "John, who was that man you sent here for dinner!" "Nobody; why. who was here!" Then that gentleman and his wife sat down and thought over all the Sunday school lessons they h-A ever heard of. Easton Free Press. Voices of Animals. An interesting work which lately appeared at Freiburg, by Prof. Landols, on the "Voices of Animals," affords additional evidence of the universality of vocal sounds among the lower forms of animals, including tbe Molluscs The author considers it as beyond all question that ants possess a vocal speech, Inapprecia ble by human ears, by which they are enabled to exercise those higher mental faculties to which they owe the development of the ad vanced social organization they exhibit in their communities. Professor Landols' work is illustrated by numerous microscopical and other drawings of his own, and forms.ran Interesting addition to our natural history literature. A negro being asked what he was In jail for, said he was borrowing money. "But," said the questioner, "they don't put people In jail for borrowing money." "Yes," said the darkey, "but I had to knock the man down free or fo' times before he would lend it to RELIGIOUS WORK.

An interesting and animated discussion Bee Fourth Fase.l POLITICAL. Professor Langston Is making good speeches in Ohio. The canvass in Ohio and Indiana will close with Monday next. Secretary Tail speaks at Toledo to-day anil at Bryan, Ohio, to-morrow. Senator Boutwell will finish his work 'n Ohio at Burton, next Saturday. The New York Sun has t chill on, and feels ore there will not be honest voting in In diana. Significant, rather. The men on the fence In Ohio and Indiana reem to be getting down rapidly and unani mously on the Republican side. Hon. Samnel Ehellabarger will make politi cal speeches in his native State up to an I in cluding Monday, the 9th instant. Ex Speaker Blaine Is making excellent speeches to large acdlcnces In Ohio. He will deliver his last address during the State can vass at PainesvUle, on Monday, the 9th. Bob Ingersoll, pf Illinois,. will traverse New York after Indiana -and Ohio have been dis posed of. To prepare for his coming there is already an outburst of piety along u.e Demo cratic lines. Tbe chairman of the Connecticut Demo cratic State committee refused to pay the freight charges on a lot of "tracts" sent him from Tilden's bureau, and, It is said, was per mitted to draw on "the bar'l." It Is reported that Tammauy and anti-Tammany "have united for victory " That is to say, they have clasped hands round that "bar'l of money," and the grip is a tight one, because no one of them would trust the other If his hands were free. The Democratic factions in Vew York city have "fixed things."

FrankA. Beamish, Democratic candidate for the Pennsylvania Senate, n ho had absconded when under Indictment for forgery and muti lating tbe records of the Scranton school board, has reformed and returned, surrender ing himself to the authorities at Wllksbarre. Another batch of rowdies, repeaters and ballot-box stuffers went West yesterday. Evi dences of the purposes of the Democrats to colonize voters and to otherwise improperly swell the votes of that party in various lo calities in Ohio and Indiana are accumulating. The proper authorities are Informed, and measures to prevent frauds have been devised. The San Francisco Post of September 25, says:. "H. C. Bennett, the defaulting pension agent, whose disappearance three years ago, leaving behind him the evidences of a defalca tion amounting to about twenty-five thousand dollars, created quite a sensation, was arrested last week at Black Hawk, Col., where he was editing a campaign-newspaper devoted to Til den and reform." Captain Celso Cxsar Moreno, the champion of the Italian slave-children and the tete noir of the padroni, is spending a few days in Phila delphia. He will soon' depart for the Pacific coist, and lie says that he will go npon the stump in California and tell his Italian, French and Spanish friends the many sound reasons that have combined to convince him that it is the duty of every foreign born citizen of this nation to do all in his pow er to prevent the election of Tilden and Hendricks. Captain Moreno Is an eloquent speaker, In addition to being a sound thinker. The Brooklyn Argus, in referring to Sam Cox campaigning in Ohio, says Sam is one of those men whom everybody likes, but who doesn't like everybody. Tilden Is one of those men whom he doesn't like. Therefore, when in the delivery of that portion of his address where he urged his hearers to vote for Tilden, Sam paused frequently as if to take breath, it Is fair to assume that he felt like saying: "Ex cuse me, fellow-citizens, if I detain you, but this crow's devilish tough, and I must stop occasionally to chew It." The secretary of the National Republican Committee, Judge J. M. Edmunds, has late Intelligence from Indiana which be says is the reverse of discouraging to the hopes of a Re publican success next week. It is definitely ascertained that there has been but slight dis affection among tbe German Republicans, (Democrats having claimed that a great many bad deserted,) and tbe few who for a while gave indications of weakness in tbe Republican faith are now returning to their old party alle giance. In short, there will be very few, if any, apostate Germans. ALL SORTS. Tramps love yellow pantaloons they hide dirt. A troupe of Sioux Indians are exhibiting themselves in London.
