So that upon their basis of calculation, the Dem >e- i raey had four more votes than were i required for success. The result of the October elections has added Indiana to * column, making 15 more votes, or tin 204 in all. The elections which have been held during the year have re newed the assurance that Connecticut, Delaware, Oregon, West Virginia, Ar- kan-n», Alabama, Texas and Georgia will ca t * their votes for Tilden and Hendricks. The marked change shown in the German vole by the result in Ohio also places Wisconsin,. Illinois and Michigm among the probable Democratic Slates, with 46 more votes. The Democracy are morally certain of at least one, if not two, of these three States, and the third must beset down as doubtful. Florida is believed tube Democratic, as is also South Carolina on an honest vote. This leaves as cer tain or probable for Mr. Hayes the fol- I »wing Slates : Electoral vote. States.

The D inocracy could also lo-se Louisiana, Mississippi, California and Nevada, and still have 191 electo ral vote-, or six more than are neces sary. There is a possibility that the * Republican may carry Nevada, but scarcely a possibility of their carrying Loui-iana, Mississippi or California. At the bc-t, with the present outlook, the Republicans cannot reasonably ex pect more than 178 votes. Conceding them all that are certain and all that can be propelly classified as doubtful, Mr. Hayes will obtain but 161 votes, and the recent elections have made it morally certain that lie is more likely to fall ten votes short of that number than to exceed it. The Democracy thus start on the homestretch with a decided advantage in their favor. The strength of all the real issues is with them; the opportunity is tlieirs ; all that is required is to take advantage of the present position and manfully improve their opportunity. It will be fatal, however, to take any thing for granted, for our opponents will grow more desperate as their chances of success lessen. They are preparing to make superhuman etlbrts to carry New York, without which their case is absolutely hopeless. The Empire State is safe, and by a hand some majoiity.

JEN HE Al'FIJlaATf, TA I.KM. It is plainly evident that W. IL Odell, Republican candidate for Presi dential Elector, is a most appropriate representative on the ticket he repre sents. His career as Surveyor-General of this Slate was pot altogether above suspicion, and now Hon. Jesse Apple gate, as will be seen by the annexed letter to Mr. L-im *, confirms that his transactions as such ollicer were rather “crooked.” Mr. Applegate Ims al ways been a Republican, was the nominee of that party in the late Senatorial contest, and it cannot be said that he was prompted by party feeling in mak ing these charges. He does not “beat about the bush,” but makes his charges direct. Here is what he says : ('L eah L ake . C al ., Oct. 16, 1876. Dear H-irnrt: Your favor of the 1st insf. was received while traveling to this place tin t this is the first opportunity 1 have liad to reply to it. 1 am sincerely grateful to Senator Kelly and yourself tor the active assistance you have given in procuring the payment of t his small debt from the, Gov ernment. T<> a poor man even such a trifle is important. It may seem strange to busi ness men that, a Deputy Surveyor should survey in the iield, and make the proper re turn of a township, Ins work be approved, the Government avail itself of it, ami yet the work be omitted from his ac count against the Government and he re main utterly ignorant ot the fact. Yet such is the ease in this instance. Y’ears after the work was done a copy of the account being needed to adjust the interests of the part ners, 1 found the Surveyor-General had omitted this township from mv account al together. The most charitable conclusion would be that the error in the account was merely a mistake. But as Mr. Odell, the then Surveyor-General, acted falsely and faithlessly to me in regard to a second con tract, I think this further injury was asl ke- lv to have been bv design as accident. The contract executed bv my partners and my self was ot tile kind known to Deputies as non-paying; a part of it is located on the top of the Cascade mountains, brushy and heavily timbered; a part of it to connect old work to tin * boundary lino between Califor nia and < >regon, and also to connect the sur veys based upon the Willamette and De schutes meridians, upon such work loss to the Deputy is certain. BuK, in accordance with ancient usages, we were promised and had a right to expect a paying contract to follow it—this was duly applied tor find promised—but after many delays made upon reasons I afterwards found to be fictitious, the contract promised me was given to the surveying firm of How ard A Turner, on the terms, as Mr. Howard informed George Nurse, proprietor of Link- ville, that they, Howard A Turner, were io divide the profits derived from it equally witli Surveyor-General Odell. But this kind of corruption is not peculiar to Surveyor-General Odell or the Oregon other; it has been equally ripe in California. Alex. McKay, a eoni|>etent surveyor of the latter State, informed me lie had surveyed two or three different contracts without even knowing who received his pay from the Government, he being requested to sign a blank power of attorney and accept $100 per month for his services. ■' It is true Mr. Hardenburg has been turned out of otlice, but not upon the ground of his corrupt practices. Mr. Odell has re signed his. but only to receive the most pay ing contracts. and now by the election ot his brother politicians is the ugly figure-head of the Republican electoral ticket. • Very truly yours, J esse A pplegate . ITon. L. F. I.ane, M. C. Odell is how on the stump repeating the exploded slanders concerning Mr. Tilden. But a short time ago he oc cupied ten columns in the Roseburg Plaindcaler impugning lion. L. F. Lane’s action in the O. C. M. R. bill. But it now seems that while his dia tribes against La Fayette Lane prove contemptible and untrue lie himself is proven guilty of corruption by a parti san. New York Ortalii for Tilden. There is evidently going to be the same concentrating of the whole Ad ministration army in New York and New Jersey, as they was in Indiana a few weeks ago. But concentrating against the Democracy of New York is attacking the Gibraltar of the De mocracy, and the attempt to carry the stronghold will only result in tho utter destruction of the attacking force. The truth is tint the Republican lead ers have abandoned hope. They see tlie impossibility of beating Tilden in that State, and they cannot elect Hayes without the vote of New York. The betting is now two to one. in favor of Tilden, and at the pool rooms in New York City the other evening Republi cans were seen betting on Tilden’s suc cess, and giving those odds. There is virtually a panic in the Republican camp. New York State will give Til den seventy thousand majority, and all those who were holding off until the contest in Indiana was decided will now vote the Democratic ticket. More Troops Wonted. West, a carpet-t>ag Senator from Louisiana is in Washington for tlie purpose of securing military aid to carry that State for the Radicals. He unblushingly says that “tho State can lie carried for Hayes if several thou sand troops can be sent to wor.c with the Deputy Marshals in controlling the election.” These are his exact words. The leading Northern papers, like the New York IIeraldt advises no resist ance to any outrage either by the sol diers or negroes. They say that the people of the North at the ballot box will put their seal of condemnation ou the tyrannical acts of Mr. Grant. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, advises the white people to bare their breasts to the bayonet and the bullet of tho negro or the soldier without resistance. KEPI III.K A * PLl'SDFBIXU. If any fair-minded man doubts that the Republican party has plundered the people of the country to an extent hitherto unprecedented in its history, lie need not consult Democratic or par tisan documents in order to become en lightened. We simply ask him to re fer to tlie last report of the Secretary of the Treasury. Let him comptire the cost of carrying on the goveri - ment before tlie war with the cost since then, leaving out the years of bloodshed, and contrast the expendi tures before the Rebellion for the period of seventy-one years witli tlie nine years since its close : 1789 to I860. .... $548,912.682 72 Army....

In the former case the average cost is twenty millions per year ; in tho lat ter 155 millions, or nearly eight times as much. If we compare the total revenue col lected for the years 1866 and 1875, and the cost of collecting, we find an actual falling off for the latter year amount ing to $221,098,000, while the cost of collection is increased $822,000. An examination of the finance report for these years reveals tlie astounding fact that while the revenue has fallen off nearly one-half the cost of collection per $100 is doubled. The above are facts which tho waving of the bloody shirt and the cry of a “solid South” are powerless to hide. THE BAYOSA AKAIX. The latest dispatches indicate that the Republicans are fearful of losing South Carolina, which has been (by I the aid of Ignorant negroes and irre- i sponsible ad venturers from other Slate.-) a Radical borough ever since her re admission into the Union. Governor I Chamberlain has applied for troops to maintain order, nominally; but really to overawe the bona Jide citizens of that State nt the ballot-box. The sudden return of President Grant to 1 Washington indicates that the Indiana and West Virginia elections had some- | thing to do with it. lie will doubtless send to South Carolina all the bayonets that Chamberlain requires. The state of affairs in Virginia also excites tho anxiety of the retiring President, who has ordered the ma rines from Norfolk and a company of I soldiers from Fortress Monroe to “pre vent a violation of the peace in vase the city authorities cannot do- so.” I This is, in plain Saxon, to fire upon all who resist the aggressions of the hired Republican bullies about the polls on I election day. If Democrats want to vote, drive them away from tho bal lot-box ; if they resent it, fire upon them. This is what people get for electing a military man as President. We thank the Lord that Samuel J. Tilden is not a soldier; that bis ¡«leas of government embo ly something higher and nobler thin more brute force ; ami that he regards the national treasury as something el.-e than the spoils of a city taken by a.-sault. Six months more ami we shill have, through him, a restoration of civil government and a total abrogation of the bayonet law that has placed the in telligent people of the South in a Worse condition thm the Spartan Helots of old. Tin» day is cpming when a duped people shall cast off the yoke of mili tary power and restore the civil gov ernment devised by our fathers ; ami the d.iwn of that d iv is not far off.
