WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8. 1882. THE BETUB5S The returns trom yesterday's dec firm from ocean to ocean, tills every Democrat's heart with joy undis guised. Though victory was expect ed the country was not prepared for such an overwhelmnins defeat of the enemy. The returns are yet meagre but sufficent to indicate decrease of the Radical vote and an increase of Democratic in everv tate where elections were held. New York, the pivot of American politics, has gone Democratic by thirty or forty thousand majority Massachusetts, too, has declared her allegiance to Democracy and elects Ben. Butler, Governor. The gal lant little Connecticut, also, renews ber taith in tne party of the people and heralds to the world the election of the entire Democratic ticket. rnrlianna and Pennsylvania are close with the outlook favorable to 4he Democrats. And Kansas, where the saintly St. John has frolicked in beastly majorities for years, the Democrats are ahead with splendid prospects of ultimate suc cess. Many other states are recorded on the Democratic list with increas ed majorities over previous elections, f lere in Missouri it is the sa.ne old talc Democratic majorities every vhcie. Crisp's defeat in the Fifth district is almost certain, and the Democrats claim Fyn's election over Cloud and Hazeltine m the Thirteenth. Our own Charlie Morgan is not only elected, but in dications are his majority will reach five or six thousand. In the county the whole Demo cratic ticket is elected by a larger majority than waf anticipated. Al though five different kinds of mid night circulars were circulated at Cixry voting precinct in the county except Butler, bv the Radicals and Greenbackers, and not a line from the Democratic side, yet even then cur victory is complete and we have n right to rejoice. As a result of all this the Radicals are disconsolate, for they see in the j mirror ot the iuture their forth coming destruction in 1SS4 from President to Constable. CAMPAIGN FALSHOODS The election is over. The tedious campaign of a summer is ended, and soon all will bo serene and com posed in the pursuit ot life's regular vocation. But what has been the character of the campaign? As it re- kites to the conduct ot the opposition we answer, most shamefully black. In other campaigns in Bates coun ty Republican falsehoods have been great" indeed, but never before in the history of county politics was Cieir one-fourth part of the slander ous, blackmailing lies circulated on the eve ot the election as there has been at this just closed. And who are the men that did it? They are those who lead the Radical party ilh headquarters at the Bates Coun ty Republican office. . With some tew exceptions, they e men from whom the comunity might reasonably enough have ex pected otherwise. Among the ex ceptions we note a renegade or two to whose case we devote more space elsewhere in the Times. " The ma jority of the men who did the dirty work ire profecd Christams, and boistrous in the elf praise of mor ality and good citizenship. These f retentions are a lie on their very face when contrasted with the dam nable midnight work of the past few days. Upon the otherhand the Demo cratic press has confined itself strict ly within the bounds of truth and legitimate political warfare. Not a sentence has been published that was denyed by the opposition as be iacr untrue or slanderous. There were no trumpped up documents sprang upon the day of election by refugees and pergurers to vilify and belittle honest men of integrity be cause their names were on the op position ticket. We entered the engagement for a fair and decent fight but were disappointed by the other side. However, if their con" science can stand it our record sure ly will, but then we should remem that Radicals have 110 conscience. TOE THE GEBMAFS- Commenting upon a seiies of anti-Prohibition resolutions adopted by the Germans ot Johnsons coun ty, this State, the Bates County Republican of this city gives vent to its views in the language append ed hereto. Surely we see no occasion why a large element of Bates county's thrifty, honest farmers and mechan ics, should be slandered and out raged by any newspaper printed within its borders. All the more shameinl and vilifying is the lan guage because of its wanton attack upon the religious convictions ot these people. And yet this paper is a recognized representative of the Radical party. There is but one conclusion, but one interpretation that can be placed on the strange departure of this Re publican organ, and that is plain to evervobserver; it means a persecu tion of the German's by the Radical party. This is simply an opening ! blast as actuated by the desperate straights of the opposition in the campaign just closed. The future ot the German's is either to bow to the Radical yoke and become as serfs and slaves to its uictation, or, asserting their manhood and their rights as freemen they are te be se lected as special objects of political persecution. The election is over now, and we expect to accomplish nothing by this at the present, but there is a future and a method in and by which an utraged people can be vindicated. We republish the following that the world may see what is going on to usurp the rights and privileges of the citizen. This is the article raferred to and is found iu the Bates County Re- publicanoi Nov. 3rd, 1SS2. Is this true or not? Is the infidel German society of Johnson county, correct in their declaration that the Republican party has "in this and other States gone into full league with the churches, thereby attempt ing to violate one of the fundamental aws ot our Republic? Is the demo cratic party willing to acknowledge, as implied in the German, Liberal infidel. Sabbath-breaking, beer drinking, whisky society preamble, that the party is ""in league" with them ! If this German infidel so ciety is right, then let all the people understand it. If these things are not true, then why in the name of connnon sense is this preamble and resolutions adopted by this avowed infidel. Sabbath-breaking society given the first and most prominent place in the Butler Times, the ac knowledged champion exponent of democracy in Bates county? To our mind this is a partial acknowl edgment at least, that these Ger man mhdels are nsjht. Now this s j sihl- r,rl i .i i thatot all the blights now setting I V)1IJMHU tijsiu ucyuic, j down upon all our American moral ! and religious institutions like a pall j ot eternal death, it is the Sabbath- j breaking, infidel, God-blaspheming, whiskey-drinking influence trom Germany.

Now, to 1 conclude, let all lovers of our tree n,, moral and religious institutions get!. "Sh&ng of the Capitol build- their eves wide open to the fact f at Washington,last year, cost the which will soon be plain to a man ' Government $20,000. witnbutone ee, mat democracy and whisky and German infidelity and Sabbath-breaking and the devil are standing, and will continue to stand squarely against churches, so ber men, christian men, moral men and God Almighty. The speech of Maj. F. C. Nesbit. at the court house, Friday night last, was one of those efforts that carries conviction and enthusiasm to every hearer. Maj. Nesbit is abundantly blessed by nature with that element possessed by few speakers however that always wins-oratory. It is not an acquired art with him, but was born with the man, and is therefore a part of his nature and life. His speech was comprehensive, and the audience fat like statutes, rrvited to the place by the influence of hi: magic words. At Ashland, Ky., a mob of sever al hundred men made an attack up on the "Granite State" as it steamed up the Ohio river on the 1st inst., to capture two prisoners aboard under a heavy guard of soldiers. A pitch ed battle of several minutes ensued, resultme in the death ot several members ot the mob, and also ser iously wounding and killing several lookers-on. The prisoners were fi nally landed safely at their destina tion, the Lexington jail. Hon. Alexander H. Stephens was inaugurated Governor of Georgia on the 4th inst Mr. Stephens has had the largest experience in public life of any man livinsr to day. He has been a member of Congress for near ly forty years, and was Vice-Presi dent of the Southern Confederacy. His usual weight is ninety pounds, and a more conscientious statesman has never lived and figured in Amer ican politics. Ex-Governor Willard P. Hall, died at his home in St. Joseph, on the 3rd inst., agel 65 years. He was- born at Harpers Ferry, but came to Missouri in 1S41. At the commencement of the late war he was appointed Lieutenant Governor when Jackson was deposed, and the death of Governor Gamble occuring soon after,he succeeded as chief exe cutive oi the State. Henry Ward Beecher is coming to his senses finally. He stated in a Rpublican mass meeting, in New York, on Friday night thate intend ed to vote for Cleveland, the Demo cratic candidate for Governor. The election came off yesterday, and we suppose Mr. Beecher was as good as his declaration. It required a labored effort by the Republican last Friday, to settle the point as to W. M. Wilson's temper ate habits. Sufficient retractions were made all around, we think, to satisfy Mr. Wilson, at least, whom nobody ever suspected as an "occa sional tipler," until the Republican undertook to establish the contrary. The two Radical organs in this city devoted their whole strength last week to the preaching of Prohibition and slandering the private character of Democratic candidates. Nobody cares now since the result is what it is. . Ex- Senator John B. Henderson and a fellow attorney named Cun ningham, had a fist and skull figat in the United States court room, at St. Louis on Friday. The ex-Senator came off victorious and. was fined S20 by the court. The books ot a Republican ex- tax - receiver of the State of Pennsyl isyl- vania, are being vama, are being overhauled to find tne " hereabouts oi $1,000,000,000 that mysteriously disappeared during his term of office.

Tfhat He Thinks of Him The Indictments How Frank James Looks. Pot-Dispatch, October 31.3 Ex-Gov, Chas. 1. Johnson re turned from Kansas City thl morn ing after holding a consultation with his client, Frank James, and was met by a Post-Dispatch repor ter. The hrst question asked Mr Johnson was when he returned,, to which he replied : "Thi morning. "Did you see your client Frank James?" "That is what I went tor. Col Philips met me at Warrensburg and I had a consultation with him and Col. Glover, another associate counsel." "When will he be tried ?" "That I cannot say definitely The Kansas Citv court, in which the indictments against him are pending, meets the last Monday in November. I do not know yet whether Mr. Wallace, the State's Attorney, will be ready or not, There are three indictments pend ing: ajjainst him there, one for the killing of the Pinkerton detective and one for participation in the Glendale robbery and another for participation at the Blue Cut rob bery. You all know about them The State will, I think, find it difi- cult to obtain testimony that Frank James was a participant in any of them. The defense will doubtless be ready." "What is the feeling tip there about the matter?" "Opinion is divided. X mean that opinion is divided as to what course the State ought to pursue in regard to prosecuting him. Some think he ought to be prosecuted to the utmost, while a majority, I think are satisfied with the general break-up ot the organization in that part of the State in existence. The news of a band of robbers having appeared to a conductor the day before yesterday on the Chicago and Alton Railroad, I look upon as a sensational roorback. He will have a fair trial in Jackson county, and can not be convicted upon mere rep utation. "How does your client look!" "He is not well, that is, he looks pale and delicate. Confinement has a bat! effect 011 him, having led so active a life. Then he has taken cold by reason of the dampness of his cell. Otherwise he is I sup pose about as usual." "Does he look as you expected ?" "Yts; he looks like most all de termined men look. He is spare built, weighs about 130, btonde ap pearance, and has a keen gray blue eye. Few persons can judge the character of men from personal ap pearance. He would deceive the majority very effectualty. He is the last man in the world that the ordi nary observer would select to asso ciate such a reputation as he has with. He is a quiet, -peaceable and genteel looking individual. To the uninitiated he combines the appear ance of the reporter, the lawyer and the preacher. He is quiet intelligent any occupation that keeps the fac ulties continuously on the alert will will generate intelligence." "Do you think you will acquit him?" - "That I dont know. I Lever tell even a client that. I jcnerally do the best I can and let the consequen ces take care of themselves." An Inhuman Mother. Charlottesville, Vo., Oct. 31. A colored woman at Joy depot, Al bemarl county, attempted, last night to drown her two-year-old boy. She was caught in the act. A cloth was tied over the boy's face and a rope tied tightly around his throat, and she was hauling hini up and down the stream. It is thought the boy would not recover. The mother was placed in jail. Ex-Governor Robinson, ol Ken- tucky. is dead. GEN- HOBBAJTS CCTOLtJTD- For the benefit ot the numerous survivors of Gen. John H.

Mucnch, drugg'.st m Leipsig, Gohlis, publishes in the Pharmagetitischeu Jlnzeiger the following: My little daughter, a child of 7 Years, was in course of two weeks twice attacked by the high fever of diphtheria, and in both ; cases the remedy was applied with the best success. It is I learn tere binthinas rectificatum (purified oil of turpentine). Dose for children, one teaspoonful morning and even ing; for adults, a tablespoonful the same way. After taking the med icine give to the children warm milk to drink, also might mix the second teaspoontul with warm milk ; then it is more easy to take, and let them drink warm milk afterwards. This gives relief to the awful pain in the throat. The success is indeed wonderful. After twenty-four hours the white coating will entirely disap pear without leaving a spot. My child also gargled with a weak solution of 1-4 oz. of cali-chloricum every two hours, and afterwards every thiee hours. I would advise all druggists in the iiitctest of children to make use of this publication, and especially would I beg physicians o give this remedy a trial. I am certain that all children attacked by this terrible disease could be saved by applying this remedy in time. In all cases both with children and adults it has been very satisfactory. An Ambitions Darkey. From the Texas Sittings. A merchant advertised for a color ed man to drive a delivery wagon. "What's the wages boss?" asked the first one who applied. "Fifteen dollars a monOi." "Boss, I can't get tat n that sal ary. "I don't want you to get fat. I have no use for a fat driver. It would break down the horse tor him to have to pull 250 pound of a nig ger up and down these steep hilis we have in Austin." The applicant sighed like a brok en-winded horse, and said as he went out: "Ef I'se a member of the next Legi.slatur, boss, hits all ver fault for not gibin rae a chance to quit de slums ob political life and elevate myself socially on de front seat ot a delibery wagon." Tlu.' Dick liddle Case. Hirrningham, Ala.. Xov. 3. -A special to the Age from Hu:itsviilc says, in the case of Dick Liddle on trial tor conspiracy in connection with the Mussel Shoals. Ala.. robbery committed by Frank and Tessse James and Bill Ryan, the court suspended sentence and fixed $1,500 bond for the prisoner's ap pearance next term. Liddle is a valuable witness in several other cases against the James gang, and may also be needed at Huntsviile to testify against Frank James should the latter be put on trial for the Mussel Shuals robbery. It is ex pected that Liddle will for this rea son receive a pardon or thnt the sentence will be oostponed.
