FARAN J. B. McLEAJI. .47 VINE STREET. "WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 11.

187S Hamilton County is safe in the Grhb-ixv fold. The groat upheaval found Tent la Court street last night. Thsts great German Senator, whom the Gazette maligna, has reason to feel proud the Queen City's ovation. Tn Grand Army of the Khine massed in Court street last ntaht. The Germans kave faith in Senator Bchurz.

If written history is to be depended on, General Banking wore a white halt before Vr. Greeley was thought of as a Presl sleatlal candidate. The meeting in Court street last night was the largest ever held in the city of Cinolnnati. It was the spontaneous out pouring of the honeat masses. Hamilton County may be set down for 1,000 majority for Greeley and Reform, That sea of humanity in Court street Mar let-space last night settles the business.

The Gazette calls the election in Maine magnificent Republican victory, and says the majority is increased by over 5,000. The majority was 20,403, and the new ma jority is 15,000. They have a curious arith- metle in the Gazette office by which they make 15,000 majority at this election a gain 5,000 over the corresponding election. The Cincinnati Timtt and Chronicle yesterday put up its cannon over the result the Maine election. If that was a test of Ohio if the Grant men can do no better ltere than in Maine they will lose this State, and likewise Indiana and Pennsylvania, at the Presidential election.

If the editor of the 1'imes-ChronicU is really for Grant, he ought to be taken to the first idiotic asylum. Hznry Wilson, the Republican candidate for Yice-Fresident, after having been oroercd on the Know-Nothing charge, tardily explains that the letter denying that he had ever been a member of that Order, was written by an indiscreet German friend. "We arc too gonorous and hlvalrio to accuse Mr, Wilsow of lying, but we will feel greatly obliged if some gentleman will tell him that we consider lis story very "fishy." It has "an ancient and fish-like smell." Tmt Republican majority In North Caro-lins In 1871 wa over 8,000. In 1870 there wm an apparent Democratic majority of about 1,500. The Grant papers choose, In 1872, to ignore the election of 1871, and altogether like that of 1870.

But in the Maine election they act upon a different hypothesis. They choose the last election, which they will not take In North Carolina, to found a comparison of results, because only in that way can they show gains. It la a poor rule that don't work both ways. If the Grantites have made a gain of 3,000 in Maine since last year, upon the same rul they have lost 7,000 in North Carolina. Thi City Council yesterday adopted a rlMtlon requesting the Mayor to issue a proclamation rorWddiria "2be, of polit- ocai organization- 0 CITTJ trough the streets.

The right to bear arms Is one guaranteed by the Constitution, but when the useless display of warlike weapons Is calculated to incite bad feeling and Insure bloodshed, the authorities who are responsible for the peace and welfare of the city should certainly interpose. In this connection we may mention the fact that several of the Ward Clubs attending the Schcrz meeting last night were assaulted with bowlders, and in ne or two Instances severe retaliatory measures were taken by the processionists. It is impossible, we presume, to prevent vicious and senseless people from indulging in this sort of out rage. We can only counsel forbearance and mutual good behavior. No party has any thine to gain by a course of Irutality and in olerance.

The Demonstration Last Night, The truthful historian who described the arrival of the armies of France at the Island of Lobau drew a picture which found a counterpart in Court street Market-place last night. The occasion was the ovation to Benator Carl Schckz, and right nobly did the people of Cincinnati the friends of Greeley and Reform acquit themselves. No especial effort bad been made, and yet, within one hour's time, twenty thousand people were massed in Court street Market-space. The honest Germans came down In thousands from beyond the canal, and from every ward in the city the columns of sturdy patriots poured in. They came without the pomp and blazonry of the follow ers of a party grown rich off the publio treasure.

They were tbe representatives of (he honest masses who have risen in their might to demand a return to tbe better order of things. It Is the universal testimony that no such political mass-meeting was ever seen in Cincinnati. The meeting addressed by Mr. Douglas, in this city, in I860, was the standard by which popular assemblages were gauged up to last night. Henceforth we date from Benator Bchcrz reception.

If the people of Ohio could have witnessed the spontaneous outpouring last night, they could bars formed an idea of tbe political revolution which is progressing in this county. It was not only an evidence of tbe popularity of the Reform movement, but it was a personal compliment to the great German statesman who has the honesty and courage to turn his back upon his former political associates and warn the people of the corruption and imperialism which threatens to destroy tbem. It was something of which Senator BcHt might feel proud. It was something to make glad the hearts of the hvaest Germans, who know Carl Kciicrz to bs a true, sincere man, and who believe. In him.

Beside this grand outpouring, tbe paltry meetings of the supporters of the Administration, both here and elsewhere, sink into insignificance. Tbe people sre moving in their sajvLL Let Ike friends of the cause take ouxsge. THE, CINGINNATJ jENQUIRER, WEDNESDAY MORNING SEPTEMREK i872'r The Maine Flection The Morn! of the Kesolt The Hare Triumph of Greeler and 11 own. We claim the result of the election in Maine as indicating, beyond the possibility of a doubt, the choice of Greeley and Brown as Tresideut and Vice-President of the United States. In Beptember, 1868, Must before the last Presidential election, when, as now, a full Tote was polled and no full vote has been given since when the struggle was colored by the Presidential preferences of the voters, the ma jority for tbe Grant candidate for Gov ernor in Maine was 20,403.

It is now admitted that the majority for Governor Pbr-ham will not be over. 15,000, and may be less. But we will take the higher number as the figure. Thus It stands: Grant's majority In September, 1RW Grant majority in September, ltfia Grant's loss 6,400 The total vote of Maine Is 125,000. The only supposed value of a Btate election In a Presidential contest Is the thermometer which It exhibits of the pulse of the people.

Let us suppose that the Grant men do as well In all the States as they have just done In Maine, what would be the result? How would Ohio gof At the October election in 1868 the following was the vote for Secretary of State: Grant candidate fST.Offi Seymour candidate Grant majority. 11,888 The full vote in Ohio, It will be perceived, was 817,000. The Grant men, on tho Maine vote just cast, are losing 6,400 on every 125,000. On the vote of Ohio fAey would, therefore, lot over 22,000 votei. This would give us the State by a majority of between 4,000 and 6.000.

In October, 1808, the Grant majority in Indiana for Gov ernor was 000. on 340,000 voles. The Grant loss in Maine, sustained in Indiana, would be over 15,000. In Pennsylvania the Grant majority was 9,677, on a poll of twO.OOO. If the Maine election is 'a test, if we make correspond-Ine gains in the old Keystone State, our majority would be over 20,000 for Buck a- lew.

hat chattering Idiots those must be who Cud any consolation for Grant in tbe Maine election. If they can't do better elsewhere than they have in Maine, they are "gone up." That is the only lesson which Is taught by it. In order that we may impress this upon our readers, let us suppose that, in 1808, the Grant majority was 6,000. The same loss they have now sustained would reduce it toOoO. Would not that be considered a serious disaster? Yet, for all practical purposes, the loss of 5,000 votes on 100,000 cast Is the same.

Again, let us imagine that there are no State lines. Would not the loss of 5,000 on the first 100,000 heard from, in a Presidential election, create consternation in the losing party, when 7,000,000 more voters were to be heard from? But in the general result we shall do far better than in Maine, and for obvious reasons. If anyone will look at the map of Maine he will see that It is surrounded by a sea- coast, and necessarily has an Immense army of custom-house officers. On tbe Canada line, there being no natural boundary of water, there are stationed hundreds, if not thousands, of detectives against smuggling, which otherwise would be extremely easy on an Inland frontier. There is one, if not more, Government navy-yard in the State, with at least 1,000 employes.

The legitimate Government patronage is immense in Maine, probably being ten times as great' as in Ohio. Tbe Administration oi Grant, desirous of making a great show beforg put their best root forward In Waliie. They prsbably spent millions of dollars. They "cram" Sot the occasion like the boy P.I school, who is competing for an examination. Nor Is this all.

Maine has not been against the regular Republican organization for nearly twenty years. The majority all the time has been equal to from 60,000 to 000 in Ohio. We have not had a Congress man or any other important Government officer for years. Can it be supposed that a State thus hopeless will be contested with tbe vim and enthusiasm of Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania, which are always doubtful. Yet withal, with all these ad-yantages the Grant men lost nearly 1,000 rotes on 20,000 taken.

AU can see that this means defeat. What is the Use of misleading ignorant and unsuspecting men? The Grant organs claim a gain in Maine by compar ing the election with that of last year, when the vote was 20,000 short of a full one, when no interest was taken, and the Republican majority necessarily reduced, This transparent dodge can not Impose upon the people who think and read, and any con ndence which may lead Grant men in wag ers will cost them dear, premised upon the resuiyn Maine. We. would direct the attention of our readers to the opinion ol the Cincinnati Volktblatt concerning the charges recently brought by tbe strictly honest Gazette against Carl Schvrz on the subject of land swindling. times like these, when dishonesty stalks the land in defiance of publio opinion, and with an insolence unparalleled In the history of the world boldly demands recognition, it is wonder ful that even so brazen-faced a piece of organry should dare to assail the personal character of a man like Carl Scburz.

Poor he is, and poor ho acknowledges him self to be. "Take that," as Patrick Henry said, "and if it be treason make the most of it." Carl Scbtrz has the manliness and honesty to declare himself poor, to friend and to foe. And is this the hour when a Benator of the United States, upon a salary of $3,000 a year, takes upon himself to tell his fellow-citizena that his private requirements demand that in the intervals ol his publio business be should make an honest penny to support himself and bis family decently, that people like the Gazette and the suborned crew who support the most meretricious Administra tion that the country ever saw, should proclaim that therefore tbe distinguished Sen ator from Missouri unanswered by any of bis peers In the Senate of the United States is the paid hireling of the Opposition? In making himself tbe champion of the honesty of Carl Bchcrz, the able editor of the Volktblatt has done himself dlstin. gulshed honor. And, we will say here, no man, more than Scucrz, ever deserved tbe able championship so gallantly given blm by Mr.

IIassairek. Carl ScnrjRz Is no swindler, and no honest man, American- born or of German descent, will ever be labebcjhe AmsficftAM well as the German Democrats we desire to pay our esteemed neighbor our highest compliments, for so independently and magnanimously vindicating bis fellow-country, man and our fellow-citizen from the foal aspersions of that basest of German Administration organs, the Illinois StaaU-teuung. The Lies of the Gazette. "But when North Carolina rolled np a Bcpnbll can gain of 7,000, when Wt Ylrgtnia refused its adherence to the party organised on no other bails than that of spoils, when Vermont increased its old time majority by nearly 5,000, then there came to be necessary a chant of Get-tttu. There are just two lies In the above.

Wo say beoause no other word will fill the bill as well. In 1871, at the last election In North Carolina previous to that of August, the following was the vote on the question of calling a Convention to amend the State Constitution. The party lines were drawn close. It stood: Republicans (against Conventlon) Democrat! (for Convention) Majority SfStnlt .77." Ui In 1808 for President it stood Grant 04,450 Seymour. SLUM) Majority.

In August, 1872, after the ballot-boxes had been doctored in the negro counties, there appeared a majority for Caldwell of about 2,000. On comparison with the last vote here is a Republican loss of 6,000. If compared with the Presidential, there is a loss of 10,000. Yet we are told by the Gazette that the Republicans have gained 7,000. It Is true that West Virginia did "refuse Its adherence to the party based on no other basis than the spoils." It did so by electing a Oreelky Governor and adopting a State Constitution which the Grant men generally opposed.

In Vermont the Republican majority In 1S0H was and now it Is not over 25,000. This loss of 2,000 the Gazette calls "increasing the old-time majority" nearly 5,000. This is a specimen of the reckless manner in which the Gazette is being run nowadays. Twenty moi pand honest, earnest men assembled in Court street Market-space last night without the assistance of a single cornstalk Major-General, Chief-of-Staff, Quartermaster or Sutler. The "Division moved," the "brigades concentrated," aud the "right wing rested" without orders from the "General commanding." This speaks well for the discipline of the common people.

Tub committee of patriotic gentlemen charged with the pleasing duty of conveying to Mr.CiiAS. O'Conor official intelligence ot the action of the Louisville Con tention of dead-beats is now gathered under the shadow oi the Iceberg. Mr. O'Conor Is said to be hesitating. The woman who hesitates Is lost.

Mr. O'Conor, we infer, is hanging on the verge of destruction. General J. D.Webster (you will observe tbe title) has taken the stand and given testimony that Grant was not drunk at the battle of Shiloh. If the man who proposes to prove that there was no battle of Shiloh has his affidavit ready we will be pleasod to publish it now.

A project is on foot for the erection of a bronze statue of General John A. Raw-lings. If Grant had a particle of gratitude he would pay for the statue himself. The Art Hall of the Exposition should be opened on Sundays. MAINE.

It beapeaks that the people are not with the military dictatorship now at the Seat of Government, with the corruption of the oBlos-holders, with the disregard of law by those who are elected to uphold and execute tne law. It bepeaks that (hey bare determined to retire th man who makes office a place ia which to quarter all his military associates and an asylum for all his own family and every one of his wife's relations. The ieaker said that he bad promised that he would not make a speech on this occasion, but ho would around to tee those who were present, and although he did not intend to button-hole them, he hojied to shake hands with them and talk to them at their ward meeting. With this be bid them good night MR. I.

M. JORDAN SPEAKI. Th next speaker introduced was Mr. M. Jordan, the candidate for Presidential Llector ia tbe Kirst District.

He aaid that a UMs over a year ago it was given out that Cincinnati had a population of only people. He thought that the Chicago lire had been a benefit to ns, as. Judging from the crowd present, we mnst bare at leant 850,000 population now. Ho was down to the meeting where Matt Carpenter spok the other night, and ther were not more than one-fifth as many Uiure a he saw now before blm. It was a different kind of erowd, too.

There he noticed that the colored folk had the precedence. It was what might be called a black meeting, snd although he didn't mean to object to th colored folk helping the eause along in politic, be admitted to having a prefcrence Tor white men' meetings. Cheer, The Democratic party he said had been in at the funeral of a good many political organiza tions. They first attended the fnnerat of the old Federal party. It was a party that upheld England and decried America, ami deserved the death that it met Then the Democratic party had buried the old Whig party, an organization that they were proud to look upon a a foeman worthy of them, but one which had diod of too much roKpectabillty, something that will never eause the Republicans to die.

I.anghter. Then they had buried the Know-Nothing party, an organization conceived In sin and born in Iniquity, which sprang np iu a night, aud lasted but lor a day a partywhich aa Mother Goose would say: Was born and lived in clover, And when it died, it died all over. Their next Job in the funeral lino would be to carry the Republican party out to the bone-yard, and they expected to do that this fait Cheers. President Grant, he aaid he could prove, was defaulter and an embezzler of public money. In duriug the Mexican war, he was a Regimental Uuarturinaster in the army" of the United States.

During the timo he held that position ho took $5,000 in money belonging to tbe Government, and kept it When called to account for it afterward, ho said that ho had lot 1 1,000 of it, and Congres passed a law to relieve him from paying it but he didn't pay the other 4.000 bark, lu he was a olonel in the army, then a Brigadier-General, then, a Mujor-Uvnernl and afterward Lieutenant-General, duriug which time he received from fifty to one hundred thousand dollars from the General Government, and a much larger sum in tbe way of gift and in speculations, and yet he never paid it back. Some time last year ho had discharged a clerk from some one of the oulces who knew of this. He naturnlly enough told it to newnpnper reporter, and he naturally enough published it Then it became the subject of talk, aud Grant, to silence it one day sneaked into the Treasury and paid back the four thousand dollars ho had stolon twenty-three years before, but never said a word about paying up the interest on it If it bad been some private citizen who bad embezzled they would have tuodu him pay both principal aud interest, and likely enough if ho wa a Democrat would have huag Dim besides and he didn't know but If he was a Liberal Republican they'd have treated liiiu the same way. laughter. 't he speaker next spoke of the adjustment or the Ihorpenuin Claims by Poatmaster-General Creswell, by which his claim originally for was swelled to $49:1.000, or three times as much as was originally asked to enable them to inako a divide.

He next alluded to Grant's appointments. TTis giving ofilcs to liorle, and Hour, aud' Tom Murphy, because they had given him presents, and his appoiuting his father Postmaster of Covington, aud when he was taken sick appointed him a aub-itituts, together with the whole list of brothers- in-law, couiius, and other relations, with which he tilled all the oillces. These men, he said, had been appointed tootliee, not by reason of any particular ability, but because they are relations of the President, and not very decent ene either. (Laughter. General Grant, be said, is In favor of the bondholders and the tax-gatherers; Horace Greeley is in tavorof the tailoring man aud the tax-payer.

Grant is in favor of corruption and oxtravagauce in the nse of public money; Horace Greeley is in favor of honesty and economy in all the affairs of the Government Grant has promised, if ho is elected, to be Presldeut of the Republican party; Horace Greeley has promised, If lie is elected, he will be President of the people of the United States. Tbe Democratic party was not so near dead as they would make it appear. In lbCO it gave Douglas 1,300,000 votes. In 1W4 it gave Mo Ulullan vote. Inl8C8 it gave Sevmotir votes; aim in it win KiveGreeiav 3,500,010 vulva, while the Liberal Republican will crai Kcmh be give suu.uuu more tnat win ,000, and will siect nun Ihe Reoublicsns had asked that Grant be re elected, because he could gather in the votes of the people better than any one else they had.

He alloded to the representation that Grant was paying one hundred millions year of tbe public debt Andrew Jolinsou paid one hundred and thirty millions a year during his Administration, snd yet they vilified and abused him. It was not Grant or Johnson that paid it though. It was tho people of this couutry who were taxed to pay it and so long as they were assessed three hundred and fifty millious a year he thought it not more than fair that one hundred millions should go to pay the debt The residue, he thought was enough to divide up among tne omoe-boldurs for collecting it BOX.

Ho said that he bad th authority of Scripture for saying "Know ye when tho fig tree puts forth her leaves that the summer Is nigh." When we consider the magnificence of this demonstration to-night; when we look over the nit aaspmhlaire of people: when we consldor the spirit which seems to animate it, we kuow that M.tlmt.l nnMniivllo and we ran indeed realize that the summer of and reconciliation is at hand.

ThlK F0Urthl ElMK Thirteenth, Twenty-second and Twenty-third had procured torches st their own expense and turned out in all some men. The Tenth Ward boys were In full uniform, and with their banners and transparencies made a handsome display.

The Twenty-second and Twenty-third Wards were among tne strongest turnouts, but the others "mea were notrar behind. Of those who turned ut with field banJi ilmuly and i M- uuong. r7i. 8 to 'aUun thedwplay of tho Eighteenth was perhaps ibe largest, while the Seventeenth siKnaliied itseir by displaying a Drummond light from a wagon. The transparencies and mottoes werenumerom, tome of the latter being qulto pointed.

The Twenty-second Ward', "No twtwlollar men in this was among the best local hits-Owing to the independent manner in which the wards marched we are unaulo to do them all Jus-tlce in special mention, and therefore are general In our mention. TflE ESTIMATES Of the crowd were various, but ex Chlef of Police ItufBn, Judge Wm. Caldwell and other good an-thoritios agreed that the meeting as a whole never bad its parallel in Hamilton County. Our estimate of 20,000 will be accepted as modorate, DISTURBANCES OF THE EVENING. On account of the collision between the negroes and citizens afew evenings since, on the occasion of a street parsde, when some head were bruised and ome nose broken, as well a damage done to property, apprehensions were felt that an oufc break might result irom the excitements of last evening.

It wss understood that the muskets bad been taken from the Fifth street Armory by the Bucktown mokes. And there wore other indications to excite apprehension of danger. The Mayor, therefore, made a draught upon tho Day Police Force, and put a number of extra officers on duty during the even, iog, under the charge of Lieutenants Doutch, Linton and Lorens. Fortunately, the efficient measures token to prevent a disturbance crushed out any feeling ther may have been in the bosoms of a few roaghs and rowdies to create a disturbance. While the Twcnty-second Ward Greeley Club was forming at Lincoln PTk some one threw a stone, and a young man was struck in tho face and seriously injured.

While tbe Third Ward Club was resting at the corner of fifth and Tine streets, some one took the liberty of throwing a brick or two at their heads. This treatment, however, was passed, over by the Club, and, with tho exception of the damage done to Mr. Watson's colored barbershop, whick received some bowlders, and which stood nearly opposite Mr. Sinton's big brick pile, no damage was done or further disturbance occurred. The rowdies who were supposed to hsve thrown the brick were Jim Whalen, John Goldon, and Wm.

Walker. These promising young men did not belong to the procession. Mr. Wm. Walker, a youth who trains with this bad crowd, was also arrested by Officers Paulas, Stahley and Lawler, for carrying concealed, weapon.

The party was taken to the Third-street Station-house and locked up. A colored man, named John Spnrlock, had the misfortune to have his handsome countenance dis figured by running against a brick which some one had started down the street while he was coming np. The procession Itself, while a large and enthusiastic one, was orderly and well-behaved, committing no breach of the peace. They dispersed to their homes without molesting any one or being moloeted. THE TEXAS CATTLE FEVER.

Its Reappearance in Onr City Dairies PROMPT ACTION OF IHE BOARD OF HEALTH At tho meeting of the Board of Health yester day the Meat Inspector reported that the splenle fever, or Texas cattle disease, which made such fearful ravage in our eity dairies two years ago, had mode its appearance again, and was threatening to tuake as dreadful bavoo among the cattle as It did at that time. The disease, or malady, ai our readers will doubtless remember, is. a violent fever which almost Invariably ends in the death of the poor brutes who are attacked with it at least those who have been raised in this climate. The disease has its origin from a parasite or tick that buries itself in the flesh of the animal. Specimens of these ticks, from a quarter to a half an inch long, were ex hibited, which had been taken from the bodies ot the deceased animals.

The Meat Inspector said that he had noticed the provalunce of the disease at Mount Airy, in the dame of Messrs. 6. W. Tallant and J. W.

West A now belonging to Haysley. Mr. Tallant, he said lost twenty-nine cattle since Angnst 1, and West A Co. (or Haysley) had lost one eow and had twenty-four sick. lie said that a lot of Texas and Cherokee cattle had been in pasture- next to the farm In which Tallant's cattle were pasturing.

Mr. Tallant, untn within a day or two ago, was unaware of what wa th matter with his stock. He bad found the vermin which, infest cattle having this disease on the dead and dying cattle of Mr. Tallant. tie had instructed.

West A Co. to put their living cattle in stables, to use chloride of lima and carbolio acid, and to feed them on hay. He reported that nan locsea np ror condem nation 144 Texa ana Lneros.ee cattle, wmcn ne had found in siaugnrer-pens reaay to ne silica rur beef, while infested with vermin. These cAUle were found as follows: At Gall's siaugnter-notMe, on i larsson street. cattle, the property of Blackburn A Co.

At tns same piaco, oo caine. nio pruiwny oi x.vanri Shoenberger A Co. At the Brighton stock yards, 68 cattle, the property of Fort, Saddler A Co. At Wm. Bosch's slaughter-house, near Mohawk bridge, 14 cattle, the property of Jake Friday.

At th sam place, catue, toe. property ot uu. Wsltael. The Board of Health npon bearing this statement ot the case went into Executive Session in tbs Mayor's office to determine what steps they should take in the matter. Tbe City solicitor was called npon for an opinion as to their powor advice they passed a resolution requiring that all Texas cattle quar-tend In the neighborhood of the city be removed by rail or boat out ot the SUte within twenty-four bout npon penalty of their being confiscated.

Messrs. Baura and James and the Meat In-spsctor were appointed as said committee to visit ths owners of these cattle and enforce the order. A number of the butcher of the elty were present at th meeting and one or two dealers In tbe Texas cattle. By the latter it was claimed that Mr. Snyder, th Moat Inspector, had shown a preference to one of their number, on Charles Garretts, by giving hint notice that he was going to bring tbe matter before the Health Board, and-he had therefore been able to dispose of his while they were left with theirs on band.

It Is believed that the banishment of all Texas cattle lions the city, and a strict order preventing their being received, will prevent th spread of tb malady beyond the dairies, wber it ha thn la MkSS'Si fciIU-J.
