THE OCTOBCR K1.K4 HONS AMI THE OITLOOK. Five State will hold elections next month. First i,n t hi- - list conies Colorado, which on the Hi of October ewn State officer and eonfiTesmrfu 1 - s Uei-tin- wit a haJ fat supreme court judge, which resulted in a majority of 4218 for Beck, the Republican candidate; the year before the Republican majority on an election for congressman was 2291, and the legislature for 1879-'8- 0 stands: Republicans 55; Democrats 19, and National Greenbackers 1. Strong hopes are entertained that the influx of miners into the State, Democratic in politics, will more than over- come the majority of last year and that a triumph, is assured. An earnest and intelli- gent canvass has lieen made and harmonv prevaib in t he pnrty. Georgia will follow the next day, the sixth, with an election for State ' officers, and a legislature that elects a United States sen- ator. There are two iJemocratic tickets in the field one headed by the present gov- ernor, the other by Norwood, who is backed by General Tisirubs and confidently expects to get the negro vote. The Repub- licans are not in the field. What the out- come will be it is impossible to say. Both 'actions are bitter and confident. The Demo- cratic electoral ticket has so far no opposi- tion, but in all the congressional districts there will be opposition. Oh the twelfth, In- diana will elect State officers, a legislature that is to elect a United States senator, and congressmen; Ohio, minor State officers and congressmen; and West Virginia, minor State officers, a legislature that elects a" United States senator, and will vote upon two pro- posed amendments to the State constitution, relating to courts and to trials by jury. Indi- ana elected Hendricks governor in 1872; it gave 17,000 Democratic majority in 1874, 6515 Democratic majority in 1876, and 13,736 in 1878. At present the unknown quantity in the campaign is the fusion vote. This it is confidently believed will be cast for the Democratic ticket, the canvass for which has been conducted with rare discretion, skill and energy. We qught to carry Indiana by at least 10,000 majority. Hayes in 1876 carried, Ohio by a majority of 7516 over Til-de- n; bet Bishop in 1877 overwhelmed this. He swept the State, carrying it by 22,520 over .West, his Republican opponent: Fos- ter's majority last year over Ewing, his Democratic opponent, was 17,129, and over all his opponents only 3352. A fusion of all the elements in opposition to the Republicans will eiiable the Democrats to recover lost ground and carry the State by at least 5000 majority. Already this is conceded by zealou? Republicans who, while they claim to have made a better con- test of the State than the Demo- crats, admit that they find the sentiment against them and that they are behind in the close and intimate work that brings the can- vass home to every voter. Tilden carried West Virginia, in 1876, by a majority of 7531, and the Democratic candidates for cong.-e- were elected in 1878 in the first district by a plurality of 3409; in the second by a majority of 8603; and in the third by a majority of 2827. It has been generally conceded from the first that the Democracy would carry West Virginia, but the leaders of the party deemed it wise to make an earnest canvass. This they have done, and with the best results. After these five elec- tions no more will bo held until the great Presidential contest of November 2d. This, we have reason to lielievc, will result in the election of Hancock and English, by hand- some majorities. Virginia is the only south- ern State in which the electoral ticket is doubtful. The, contending State-cred-it and repudiation factions are making a canvass that for bitterness has seldom been cipialed in the history of that State. Both have electoral tickets in the titld, jikI twill refuse to withdraw or com- promise. Efforts to this effect by influential parting in and nut of the State have failed, and the fight waxes in intensity and bitter- ness every day. The negroes will rote with the RekAjustern under the lead of General Mahone, recently elected I'nited States sena- tor, and it is hoped, and very positively pre- dicted by the leaders of that party, that they "ill elect their Hancock and English electors. Last year the contest turned whnllv on the debt-fundin- g act pa-so- d by the legislature early that year, and the net result was the election of 17 KoadjuMer to the senate and 41 to the house, against 4 debt-peyin- g leuio,rats to the senate imd 42 to the house. The Republicans also elected 9 to the senate and 17 to the house; these on the prompt performance of promises made to General Mahone in the name of the Readjust. 'r threw their votes for that party, and are now in the field canvassing for it. We think it sate to enmt on Virginia and to predict a solid south for Hancock and English. Of the northern States we count with certainty on carrying Cal- ifornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and perhaps lliio and Fenn-sylvxii- n. Iti this last State the revulsion in popular seutimeiit is something astounding, surpassing anything dreamed of in July, or that 'was predicted by the most sanguine Democrats. The campaign is everywhere being prosecuted with energy and great good sense. In our own State the prospect, though doubtful for the State ticket, is cer- tain for the Hancock and English electors. Ho it is in Georgia. To recapitulate, we claim for HAM-OC- AND ENGLISH. sies states. Votes. Alabr.ma 10 New Jersey. ...

The out-oo- ot withstanding the party strife in Georgia, Virginia and our own State, is most encouraging for the National ticket. THE LAST .l SPIKED. Four years ago, when the signs of the times indicated the election of Tilden beyond the possibility of a doubt, the Republicans became desperate. The leaders met in coun- cil for the purpose of discussing the situation, and to manufacture, if possible, some to frighten the people and to change the current of the tide that was sweeping over the country. It was unani- mously resolved that if Tilden was elected President he would recommend the payment of the rebel debt, and all losses sustained by the emancipation of the slaves and by Union citizens. And then the howl about there claims commenced in the loyal States. It was shown that the election cf Tilden would more than double and reduplicate the na- tional debt, that the tariff would have to be increased, taxation trebled, and the proii-ert- y of loyal men confiscated to enrich trait- ors. This lie was short-live- Livingstone describes scenes which occasionally occur in Africa that illus- trates the conduct of the Re- publicans over the war claims. The great African explorer says that all the smaller animals congregate around a carcass and growl and snarl at each other; but in the midst of the feast a roaring lion with glaring eves and vibrating tail comes to the foo without .. ticket of invitation or sending his card. Great is the consternation. The wolf tucks his tail between his hind legs and has urgent business to transact in the distant wilderness; the jackals turn somersaults in reaching their hole in the ground, while smaller animals scramble up the nearest tree, and snuff the breeze from afar. Four years ago, while the Republicans were enjoy- ing their feast over the dead carcass of the rebellion, and rejoicing that they bad found a hobgoblin to frighten the northern people into the support of Hayes by shaking at them the rebel war claims, the roaring Samuel J. Tilden, with switching tail, pounced into the midst of the revelers ami dissipated the con- templated feast of the hungry crew. He told the country that the rebel war claims should not be paid; that the Union men should not be compensated for their losses, and that he would veto any bill passed for that purpose, as most of these claims were frauds in the hands of lobby members who lived by bur- glary upon the public treasure. These party jackals were driven from this last feast, but in looking at Tilden from a safe distance, they congratulated themselves that several southern States would vote against Tilden on account of his letter repudiating the rebel debt and the claims of the Union men. But the south voted solid forTilden, thus showing that in supporting him, they were not actua- ted by avarice. The Republicans are trying to play the same game in this canvass. The exigency requires desperate means, and so soon as it was known that Maine was lost, they fell back on the old lie about bankrupting the government, and confiscating the prop- erty "of the country in paying the rebel claims. But, imitating the example of Til- den, Hancock suddenly makes his appear- ance in a letter still stronger than that writ- ten by Tilden four years ago. We published it in yesterday's Appeal, and the reader will see that Hancock exterminates this last false- hood with as much ease as people used to put out the candle with the extinguisher hang ing to its side. We are a little curious to see what falsehood will next be fabricated to in- jure Hancock. Every time he is thrown into the crucible he comes out refined gold. As the canvass progresses his character stands out in the majesty of its beauty and purity. The assaults of his enemies can no more damage him than the rat-ta- il file was dam- aged by the poison of the venomous viper which gnawed upon it all day. W.S.Hancock stands up before the world so strong in his impregnable rectitude that any attempt to defend him against an assault on his char- acter would be an insult: so invulnerable is his impenetrable armor of integrity that the arrows of malice fall harmless at his feet. Detraction and calumny can do no harm to such a man. He needs no defense. Instead of harming him or impairing his Presidential prospects, all the falsehoods that Radical malice can invent will only serve to call at- tention to a character that may safely defy cyclones of slander and tempests of calumny. AN EVENTFUL WEEK. Notwithstanding the fickle and inconstant weather,full of moods and caprices, whimsical and fanciful, now all smiles and next all tears, frowned upon the city and its guests the jubilee of last week was a grand success. For three days the hotels and boarding-house- s were crowded, and most of the promi- nent streets were almost impassable. There was noise, confusion and elbowing every- where. The decorations were extensive, va- ried and unique, and many houses were handsomely illuminated. The fireworks pre- sented a gorgeous blazonry of beauty, and were highly creditable to J. B. Cook, who, perhaps, contributed as much to the success of the occasion as any one man in Memphis. The pressure upon our columns precluded the possibility of editorial comment upon many things that deserved notice, and prominent among these were the speeches in Court square. The welcome address of Colonel George Gantt was felicit- ous, graceful and appropriate from the be- ginning to the end. As he progressed he rose to wide and broad considerations of the present situation of our business and petitica. and brought before an audience admirably representing all the branches of southern trade, the widening opportunities that are offered for a new career of develop- ment and prosperity, and of uniting and sol- idifying the I'nion. Colonel Gantt was put upon his mettle and he was equal to the oc- casion. His speech was of magic- and thrill- ing influence and effect. Much of its force consisted in its originality. Many of the speeches of the present day are made up of shreds and patches from the utterances of others, and when published present the ap- pearance of a pieced bed-qui- There is a little bird on the Nile that subsists by pi nek ing food from the teeth of the sleeping crocodile. Even the American eagle, the proud emblem of liberty, depends, in procuring his food.chiefly upon the labors of others. He watches the fish-haw- k as he dives into the sea for his prey, and darting down upon him as he rises, forces him to relinquish his victim, and then seizes it before it again reaches the water. Too many orators imitate the bird upon the Nile and the thievish eagle. When selected to deliver an address on great occasions thev mistrust their own abilities and commence hunting for a sleeping crocodile or the datnlv food which some industrious fish-haw- k has clutched in his talons. Knowing that such dependence make- - intellectual dwarfs and moral cowards, Colonel George Gantt alwavs relies upon himself, and draws upon his own ' solid bank, and his drafts never come back protested His speech on Wednesday last shows that he was wise in depending upon the originality of his own great mind, for if he had culled and plagiarized from the great- est orat. rs of the age, he could not have surpassed the speech which the vast crowd in Court square united in pronouncing one of the most able, eloquent aud appro; ii J ate s- - s that they had ever heard deliv- ered on any occasion. It was an oration cogent and conclusive; its diction chaste and captivating, brilliant and beautiful. Gov- ernor Albert S. Marks, who listened with profound attention to the address of welcome delivered by Colonel Gantt, pronounced it one of the finest efforts he had ever heard, and expressed his regret at having to follow such a speaker. But as one star differs from another only in brilliancy so did these two distinguish,,! sons of Tennessee differ. Governor Marks had no time to prepare a speech, and all that he said was extempora- - neon-- . He is one of that class of men who can be trusted to say the right thing in the right way, with good taste and discretion, and his response to Colonel Gantt's speech of welcome was singualarly appropriate. The speech of welcome and the reply were characterized by shining abilities. Governor Marks endeared himself to the people of Memphis by the sulwtantial aid he rendered in the hour of need and suf- fering, and there was not a heart in the vast crowd he addressed on Wednesday last that did not respond to the lieautiful tribute he paid to Dr. D. T. Porter. The speech of Judge T. W. Brown, welcoming Governor Luke P. Blackburn, of Kentucky, was full of broad thought and ideas, replete with beauty and brilliancy. The response of Governor Blackburn was able and eloquent. Every word showed his friendship for Mem- phis, and there is no man in all this broad Union that the people of this city love with as much affection as thev J" Governor i nk, t- -. uiackhu.. nfe people of Tennes- - see are opposed to fraud in elections; but if it had bem necessary to secure the election of Governor Blackburn to the position he now adorns as governor of Kentucky, our State would have colonized 50,000 voters on the dividing line. The tribute which Governor Blackburn paid to the wo- men of Memphis was as eloquent and beauti- ful as it was deserved. Governor Blackburn was a tower of strength to the jeopIe of Mem- phis during the yellow-feve- r scourge of 187.'!. A physician of great eminence in his profes- sion, and understanding the epidemic as thoroughly as any man in America, he gave his time and bis money to alleviate the suf- ferings of our stricken city. Judge Brown, in his reception speech, beautifully and elo- quently alluded to these generous services and the gratitude of the citizens of Memphis. The love which our people cherish for Gov- ernor Blackburn is not only creditable to themselves, but it furnishes a useful lesson, by keeping alive great virtues, with a view to their rsairoduction here and else- where in similar misfortunes. In a few appropriate remarks Colonel R C. Williamson introduced Governor-Elec- t Chur- chill, of Arkansas, whose speech was terse and admirable in taste. He showed that the people of Arkansas and Tennessee were knit together by the indissoluble ties of trade and interest. General Churchill said that "St. Louis is not the cotton market that Memphis is. The latter stands in the great valley midway lietween St. Louis and New Orleans, and should control an immense trade." The people of Arkansas who have tried St. Louis concur with General Churchill in the opin- ion that Memphis is infinitely the best mar- ket, and with new railroad facilities most of the cotton produced in Arkansas and raised in Texas will be shipped to Memphis. Gen- eral Churchill made an impression during his short stay in Memphis which satisfied all who came in contact with him that the peo- ple of Arkansas would have a wise, safe and able governor in the man they had just elected as their chief executive. And now that the jubilee, after a brilliant success, has become one of the events of the past, every citizen of Memphis turns to the future with an abiding faith. The belief is universal that as Norfolk, Charleston and even Phila- delphia have been freed from epidemics, so will Memphis escape hereafter. Our sanitary condition will soon be made perfect. No city in the world is more favorably located. Situated in the heart of a country of limit- less resources, fertile in soil and abounding in all that makes a people great and pros- perous, Memphis is bound to become an im- mense city. The day of idleness and senti- mental dreaming has passed. The future is pregnant with great events; true men are coming to the front. With the completion of the projected railroads all our brightest hopes will be more than realized and the population of Memphis will be nearly doubled during the present decade. STREET ROSS I G N.

Horace Maynard Present anil Presiding at the Afternoon Session A Free Interchange of Opinion upon the (jreat The-ologir- al (nestions of the Day Kindly Words. Philadelphia, September 25. "Revealed Religion in its Relation to Science and Phil- osophy," formed a topic of discussion in all the papers read at session of the council. After the usual devo- tional exercises, Henry Calderwood, LL.D., of Edinburgh, read a paper on the subject of " Relations of Science and Theology," dur- ing which the author briefly and severally re- viewed the distinctive pecu- liarities of the writings of Tyndall, Darwin and Huxley. This paper was followed by one by Dr. M'Cosh, president of Princeton college, New Jersey, but owing to restricted time Dr. M'Cosh was able to read only a portion of his paper, epitomizing in the brief- est manner possible the great bulk of its contents which, according to the title of the paper, dealt w'nli the question of how todeal with young meri trained in science in this age of unsettled opinion. Hon. Horace Maynard presided at the after- noon session. Before the regular business was taken up a resolution was adopted providing for the appointment of a c.immittte to consider and report upon, at the next council, all ap- plications for membership in the alliance. lion. Horace Day then moved that a com- mittee be appointed to have power to pass upon applications for admission to the pres- ent council. He remarked that the applica- tion of the Cumberland Presbyterian church for admission to membership had been re- jected, although that church repre- sented 130,000 people who are strictly Presbyterian in their policy and Presbyte-tia- n in their doctrine, except the nine sec- - tions relating to predestination. Mr. Day asked how many ol the churches represented in the council believed in these articles, and added that if the Westminster catechism was to be written be believed that the majority of churches would favor the omis- sion of a great deal now in it. The remark elicited a chorus of such cries as "Order!" "No!" etc. After a warm discussion Day's motion was adopted. The order of the day was a paper on "Apologetics," by Rev. Edward Uepres-sene- r, D.D., of Paris, but as that gentleman was absent and the pajier he had written was in French, it was referred to the publication committee. Prof. Flint read a paper on "Agnosticism Briefly Fixed." His definition of agnosticism was that spirit which challenges, but refuses to be convinced by evidence. We live, he said, in an age when a large number of ieo-pl- e insist on lieing guided in religious mat- ters by the exercise of their private judg- ment when unfortunately they have little judgment to exercise. We live in a critical, analytical age. Numlx-r- s are apt to adopt agnostic views, and support them by what they term critical methods. In the speak- er's opinion, the only method by which ag- nosticism can be met in a way that will have a permanent effect is by opposing to its nar- row measures a spirit of piety; to its plausi- ble hypotheies, conclusions dra-- , nfrom all classes of relevant fact, in a word by a sound, thorough, intellectual biblical scholarship. Prof. Flint said he had great respofct for Calvin, and believed the doctrine of the Westminster catechism, but he repudiated one notion, and one that was largely the cause of agnosticism that the study of the- ology came to an end.with the production of that catechism. In' conclusion, Prof. Flint said that each individual could, by exhibit- ing the beauties of a sincere, vigorous chris-tio- n life, present against agnosticism a 1hore powerful argument than could possibly lie put into words. A formal greeting from the Methodist ministers of Philadelphia was read, and a resolution acknowledging its receipt was adoptee! by the council, which then HIRE V 1 KAIL. The f'aae or the Western I'nion and the KauKns- Pacific Taken I n. lor onsiiler.il ion. St. Louis, September 2o. The hearing in the great telegraph suit of the Western Union against the Kansas Pacific railway company, before I'nited States Supreme-Justic- e Miller and United States Circuit-Judg- e M'Crary, which commenced on Tues- day last in this city, terminated The hearing was upon the motion of the defend- ants to dissolve the injunction secured by the Western Union telegraph company in "Feb- ruary last, in Kansas, and under which the company recovered bark the possession of its lines seized by the Gould combination, which has secured the control of the Kansas Pacific road, anel which sought to put the Hues under the control of the railroad and the American Union telegraph company. Several hearings have heretofore been had in eliff'erent branches of the case. It had been alleged bv the railroad company that its contract witii the Western I'nion company, under which the latter held and operated the lines, was void and in operative. To meet this and other objections the Western Union awarded its original bill, with many allegations, aud, among others, that aside fre-- the contract, it elerived titles to the lines throughout the I'nited States telegraph company, w hich last Company w:is permitteel bv a special act of congress to build lines on the Kansas Pacific and had, prior to its consolidation with the Western Union, constructed lines thereon. The hearing has not only attracted particular interest on account of the important issues involved, but on account of the legal and telegraph celebrities in at- tendance. The Western Union telegraph company was represented by Norman Williams, general solicitor, and Judge of Chicago; Hon. George R. Peck, of Topeka, and Charles J. Hughes, Es., of Denver. The I'nion Pacific railway com- pany bad its whole legal stall' present, with the exception of Judge Dillon, who submit- ted a printed brief. Among them were Judge I'sher, Mr. Hoppleton. of Omaha; Hon. Archie "Williams, of Topeka; Mr. Teller, of Denver, and Hon. Mr. Leverest, of Atchison. The American I'nion was represented bv ( ieneral Wager Swavne, of New York ; F. B. Swayne, Est., of Toledo, and II. S. Green, Esq., of Springfield, (ieneral Kekert, presi- dent; D. Dnran, general sujierintendent; a number of superintendents of the Amer- ican L'nion, and Colonel R. C. Clowrv, the general superintendent of the Western Union, were also present. The case was opened by General Swayne, who niade a graceful argument in support of the motion. He was followed by General Williams for the railroad company. Hon. George R. Peck, of Topeka, made a very strong argu- ment in favor of the Western Union com- pany on Thursday, and was followeel bv Judge Iieckwith in a speech of great strength and force. The case was closed to day by Judge I'sher, who made au exhaustive argu- ment. These arguments have received the closest attention of the courts and prominent attorneys. The position relied upon by the railroad was, aside from the obnoxious con- tract, that the United jStatcs telegraph com- pany was organized in 1864 under the laws of New York, and, as the act if congress containing the grant to that company was of a few months prior date, that the companv coiild not avail itse-l- f of the grant, not being in existence. Upon this theory all the printed briefs and the arguments of the .railwav company were based, but at the hearing the Western I'nion produced a certified copy of the certificate or organization of the United States telegraph bearing date in 1S62, which had been overlooked by the rail- way company, and this sudden discovery di- rected argument to new questions, and com- pelled a departure in the prosecution of the case. The suit has been vigorously and ably contested, and this afternoon was submitted to the court for their consideration. POLITICAL POIMJ. Radial Hurrah in Philadelphia. Piuladklphia, September The Re publican demonstration this evening was, in point of numbers, the largest ever witnessed in this city. Broad street, the center of at- traction, was one mass of humanity from I olumbia avenue, on the north, to Ellsworth street, on the south, a distance of over four miles, with torches, banners and transparen- cies, bands of music and fireworks. The scene forcibly recalled the Republican demonstrations in the fall of 1860. The procession was under the command of Hartranft, and was divided into wings. These wings cottntermarcheel the whole length of Broad street, and returning on side streets to Market street were dis- missed. When the head of the columns were each within a short distance of that por- tion of Broad street in the vicinity of the Union League house, where three mass meet- ings were being held, they halted to allow the police time to clear the street of the thou- sands who had assembled to hear the speeches. At the main stand on the balcony of the League house, and in front and around it, at least 18,000 people were gathered. President Baker in- troduced Senator Blaine, who addressed the assemblage. He was followed by Thomas M. Marshall, of Pittsburg, and R Stockwell Matthews, ot Baltimore, Wayne McVeagh and others. Upon a signal from the roof of the League house the columns moved over this cleared space with fronts of eight. It was the intention to clear the entire width of the thoroughfare to admit of sixteen men to each column, but this failed. Over the entire route the columns marched with a front of eight. When the League was reached a grand pyrotechnic display took place. The esti- mate by the managers of the demonstra- tion was that 30,000 men would participate in the parade, and it is believed that fully that number were in line. The lowest estimate for the number of vet- erans parading was 8000. A majority of the dwellings along Broad street were brilliantly illuminated. The streets were packed and the enthusiasm unbounded. Congratulatory telegrams were sent by President Ba- ker, of the league, to the chair- man of the State committees in Indiana, New York and other States. The following was sent to Marshal Jewell, of New York: This is by far the grandest Repub- lican demonstration ever known in Phila- delphia. There is an immense assemblage in front of the Union League house. Blaine is spcakiug. There are 35,000 voters in pro- cession, marching around the city. hie.-ig- o Iteroocratlc Nomination.

Riza Pasha seems to have shaken oft' his apathy and is concentrating at Oarica and sending thither ammunition from Scutari, which looks as though he was preparing for all emergen- cies. This may have some effect tin the and league. Admiral Seymour's ultimatum to Riza Pasha has produced consideable consterna- tion in Constantinople. Admiral Seymour has just arrived at Ragusa, and it is stated that action by the combined fleet against Dulcigno is imminent. Admiral Seymour has broken off negotiations with Riza Pasha. The Albanian leagne has threatened to arrest the foreign consnls in Albania as soon as the fleet commences hostilities. Admiral Seymour has issued orders for the squadron to be in readiness to sail Mon- day. The Russian corvette Zeraenk, with Rear-Admor- al Cremer on lioard, leaves to- night for the Albanian coast. A second note from the Porte to its repre-tentativ- was issueel on the twenty-secon- d instant, which finally refuses to order the surrender of Dulcigno unless the naval de- monstration is abandoned. Diplomatic cir- cles consider that the sultan thereby abandons the pretext of resistance by the Al- banians, and determines to oppose the sur- render in his own name. Itisasserted that the sultan was led to this change in his attitude by learning that the powers had arranged that after the settlement of the Dulcigno question the ships should proceed to Volo to coerce the settlement of the Greek question.
