SPEECH OF GOVERNOR HAYES
After his Election.
. Gen. II avis on being called out
on the evening of the 11th insl., to
receive the congratulation of hi
friends, responded in a Beat little
speech as follows :
Fsllow Citizens: I hardly know
what the facts are in rogard to the
close contest we are now closing up.
You have always heard, as a proverb,
that figures don't lie. It occurs to
me that the inun who was tho anthnr
of that saying, omild n it htivo boon
rsmihur with ele-tion returns in t.Muo,
or he would havo changed his prov
orb by striking out the word not,
snd inserting sotiin other word, so
that it would donlare figures ofteu do
lio.
Feeling the uncertainly of llifl.ic
things, I accept your congratulation
with some little allowance, Howev
er, it gives nie opportunity to say cno
0 two things that, perhaps, I limy
as well aay. I shall ssy nothing thut
it will be oocossary to tuke back, in
case the result should bo different to
morrow.
One of the agrccfihU fscts in con
nection with this contest is wlint has
tranpird in tho debates between tho
dixtinguixhod gontlonmn who was my
competitor, ami mysrll. It bits Al
ways bceu my tlcsiro in all political
contents, ao to talk and so to act, as
to givo no just camo ofolTuUHe to any
roasonablu adversary. And I am
proud to know by tho public sneeuh
es of Judge Thuriimn, thut ho hss
felt toward mo, during tins canvssi,
as a man foel toward a fuir and can
did advoriary ; and I may say to you
that that i my foiilintr toward him
I feel that, whatnvnr mixtukes he has
inado in puldio lil'o, in hi conduit
toward me he has behaved like a gen
tleman. I
Another word, personal to myself:
Great difficulties Imvo arisen in tho
Second District, In consequoiioe of
tho vnenney caused by my resigna
tion dilncumos between my friends,
which l vory much regret. And 1
sssure you if I hsd kunwn such
trouble would have arisen in the Dis
trict, I would not havo been a candi
date for Governor, hut would have
retained my place in Congress. I
could not havo supposed any such
thing would have occurred between
members of tho Republicsn party,
prominent enough to havo claims for
the candidacy for Congress, as would
be adversaries after the nomination
by tho Convention ; and not suppos
ing it, I knew there were moneuough
in tho party to represent that Dis
trict far abler than I did. In saying
this, I cant no reflections ; the public
know how I voted, and advised oth
ers to vote.
It has been satisfactorily demon
strated, that although Hamilton ooun
ty Is opposed to oolored suffrage, by
Tour or five thoussnd umjority, tnst
tho candidate fur CoPcres, and the
oily one opposed to colored suffrage
in this contest, a mist respeotable
and cetimablo gentleman, Mr. Reeme
lin, rocoived but ono hundred votes,
while the suffrsce candidates received
over 20,000. Hereafter no body in
thia county can ever riso up and fiud
fault with a man becsuo he is iu taror
of negro suffrage, because both partioi
have indorsed the inon woo wcro no-
gro suffrage candidates. CheorsJ
Ono word as to tho issues. Tho
Union party have been in favor
of maintaining Inviolate the faith of
tho nation. They will eonlinue to
stand on that plauk to the end.
fChoers.l Tboy bolievo that the na
tional creuu was an nnporiaiii part oi
the national powor, in its last strug
gle and the good name of tho nation,
is, under all eirouutstances, to be
lUMittaiocd. Again, tt is probable,
from the oomplcxion of the Legist.

that the I'niou Republican party will

The Washington Republican of
Monday last, give an account of ao
interview had with the Prtjident, on
Saturday, by a conservative Republi
can, In which the President freely
esprcsscd himself on the late elec
tions. Itssjs:
His attention ws called loan anal,
ysisofth recent election in Ohio,
where two great partie presented
esch its lioket. The people looked at
them both discriminate, and took
the soldier standard bearer, Hayes,
of the Republican party, thus seem
ingly rebnking the Democrats for
nominating a Vallaitdighsm man tike
Thurman. instead of a soldier, and
accepted and elected tho legislative
tickot of the Democratic and conserv
ative party to prevent the re-election
of a Radical like Mr. Wado. thus re
pudiating the two extremes iu politics
and then at tho samo election they
buried the disturbing question of no
gro equality. Ssid the President,
"it is a remarkble fact; it ! the logio
of events; it i the truo lesson of the
election, and what makes the fact
still mora remarkable i that this
wonderful discrimination was made
by the people themselves at tho polls,
snd that these extraordinary results
wcro obtained In tho face of tho mis
representations that were constantly
msdo in the press and upon the
stump; and, furthermore, that the
f;overnment of the Stalo was in the
lands of tho Radicals, and the treas
ure of wealthy men was poured out
liko water to aid them in carrying tho
.State. The people have conquered
in spitn of tlicxc appliances, snd have
pointed but tho right way for others,

adds that Gov. A.:-'"" replied to the
solicitation thot if the President
would nssign to Mr. Revcrdy Jor.'i'"1"
a prominent place iu tho Cabinet, he
would lie inclined to accept the pota
tion offered to himself. It may be
that tho President Is considering this
suggestion. Such appointments would
have a peculiar siguitlicaueo, from the
fact that Mr. Rovordy Joliuson made,
at tho clone o( tho last Congress and
on the final passage of tho Recon

speech, in which be urged tho South

The death of Joseph Schmorictt,
on last Thursday, tho 30th ult., aside
from its distressing details, affords a
stronger argument in favor of tem
perance snsictics and the cause gen
erally, than hss been presented here
before in the history of tho villisge.
He had been drinking freely for
sometime before tho morning of Sept.
19, whon the spree culminated in a
fight with his wifo, in which he evi
dently got tho worst, but for his share
in ihe transaction it was proposed to
pive him a turn in tho calaboose
The Marshall found him a raving
maniac, perfectly wild with drink, his
head swolen from a Bovere bruise on
tho tcmplo, and his general appear
ance testifying to the length of his
car.mssl.
Rcforo ho could be sobered he had
swallowed a glass of beer, in which it
is supposed ho had mixed a quantity
of Corrosive sublimate. His death
was a horrible one, and a warning to
all "moderate" drinkers. Clyde

A Man Strangled in a Well-Wonderful
Subterranean Cavity in
Dark County.
Last Thursday, 26th ult., somo
workmen were sinking a well in Wa
bash township, Dark county, about
fifteen miles northeast of Greenville;
nnd having got down some twenty
five feet witjiout finding water, they
bonn to bore for it. They hud
worked through tho earth about fif
teen feet further, when tho auger sud
denly sank into a hollow, whence is
sued a strong stream of gas, which
made so loud a noiso that it could
eusily bo. heard no hundred aud fifty
fect irom tho mouth of the well.
A man named Siipingcr, who was
in tho well, inauagiug the augur, was
io:!iutly prostrated; and rendered
insensible, .Vd he died beforo the
workmen nCro alio 'o rescuo him;
and he was removed with bo?ks at
tached to ropes.
Ou Friday; our iuformaut says, the
gas was continuing to esoape with tho
same violence as tho day before; and
crowds of tho curious people frou the
surrounding country flock od to tho
place to see it, and h Jar the wouderful
sound issuing from the well Tho
odor of the gas is that of coal oil,
and it is uot improbable that oil will
bo found thero iu quantity, whon tho
gas has all escaped. Uuytun Journal
