C olu m bu s , O ., Oct. 12 . — A t D u b lin, in this County, during a R e publican m eeting last night, a dem ocratic street banner was burned by fire-works of the Republicans. D u r ing the discussion which followed a man named Billingsby was knocked down while hurrahing for Garfield, by two men nam ed D a v is and an other. Billingsby drew a kniie and stabue I the Davis brothers, one fa tali y. T b e Source o f (lie G a l u i. C olum bus , Oct. 12 .— Returns are coming in a little earlier than usual. T h e gains, although hitherto favor able to the Republicans in m o stpre- cints, have not been uniform ly so, and it is noticable that where there has been a dem ocratic increase it has usually been very marked. R e publican gains have been chiefly in sections already Republican, and democratic gains chiefly from dem o cratic sections. O n the basis o f figures already received, the republi cans claim a majority larger than last year, but it is too early to m ake any definite estimate. A t t h e H e a d q u a r ter*. C o l u m b u s , O c t . 1 2 . — A t the R e publican headquarters the claim is now made that the majority in the Stilè will be considerably over 20,- 000. There is great enthusiasm, and the Garfield G lee Club is sin g- in g before the ball. A t the Dem o cratic headquarters returns have been received which, op to this hour, give a Democratic net gain o f over 500 in the State, A t the latter place the comparison is made on the Secretary of State. The present Republican gains m.ty not im p robably be dissipated, as the returns.conie in from remoter c o u n '- >es, which are generally Democratic. H a m ilto n C o u n ty. Cincinnati, Oct. 12. — .Returns from 29 precincts of Ham ilton County show a net Dem o cratic gain of 467. This is nearly one-third of the county and indicates a net Dem ocratic gain of 1,300 T h is would still leave a Republican majority in the county of 2,400. P o r t e r P r o b a b ly E lected. I j ì d i a ì t a p ó l i s , Oct. 1 2 . — At mid night the indications are that Porter, Republican, is elected by 1,000 ma jority. T h e Democrats do not con cede the defeat of Landers, but say the vote is close and claim the bal ance of the State ticket. A hundred precincts heard from show Dem o cratic gains of 281 and R epublican gains of 909, a net R epublican gain o f 628. The city of South Bend gives Porter for Governor 104 m a jority. St. Josephs County is all heard from but three townships. Porter's majority is 125; Calkins for Congress 305. T h e whole county is estimated: Porter 250 majority; Calkin 450. C h i c a g o , Oct. 12. — T h e Tribune's special from Indianapolis says: As the election proceeded to-day it was evident that Landers, Democrat, was being quietly but industriously scratched. I n d i a n a p o l i s , Oct. 12. 12.30 a. m . — O n e hundred and fifty townships give a Dem o cratic vote o l - 14,291, Republican 15 ,5 1 1 , National 515. T h e same towns in 1876 gave the D e m o c r a ts13,946, Republicans 14,- 489, National 224. Democratic gain 345, Republican gain 1,022. Indianapolis, Oct. 12, — O ne hundred and thirty five towns give a Democratic vote o f 17,445; R e p u b lican 18,780; National 759. T h e same towns in 1876 gave a D e m o cratic vote of 17,052; Republican 1 7 » 5 ; National 331; Democratic gain 393; Republican 1,172 ; net Republican gain 779. INDIANA AND OHIO. A R e p u b l i c a n V i c t o r y Sure. [Sp e c ial to th e N e w s,) A dispatcn received at this office at three o'clock p m . , states that the returns from Indiana and O h io are com ing in very slow since morning. G o o d authority from the headquar ters gives Indiana to the R e p u b li cans by a majority of 4,000, ana O h io by over 20,000* A dispatch was received to day from Senator Dorshim er in which he states that Indiana wilt rnn over five thousand R e p u b lican majority. Th e vote of O h io was the largest ever cast, and the Republican victory is said to be a sweeping one. Southern Indiana reports a democratic gait*. In In dianapolis there is a heavy vote with the Republicans held down to their regular plurality. Northern Indiana seems to have increased the R e p u b lican pluralities, but the returns are meager. At the time the above dis patch was sent, it was impossible to give anything more definite. ---------- ---------------- B ish o p H t ^ t t a ld 1» Kill>el Suit. Rochester, N.

Quaid, Bishop of R o c h ester, was heard to-day before Judge McComber, who nonsuited and re fused to place it before the jury, be cause the bishop had only done his duty in defending the grossly-calum- inated pastors of the German Catho lic congregations endangered by the scandalous libels and obscene writ ings of the plaintiff’s Sunday paper. ---------- 4-*-+----------- Teach e r s * Im tltiite. ttta t h o f D r .

A n advertisement tor filty pretty girls between the ages of twelve and sixteen to appear in one of the scenes of “ Cinderella1 drew a crowd of nearly three hundred girls, with ages varying from ten to fifty years, to the Sixth avenue entrance o f Booth's theater Thursday afternoon.

Tyrrell was put in the chair. M r. L a y the clerk had the papers containing the expenses of the last year and the estimate for the year to comc\ Mr. Lay was asked to read the herns, etc., and as near as le a n remember the total was nearly $9,000, he also read the items for school instruction, counting a principal’s salary at $1,200. Mr. Bierce m o v ed it be adopted, Mr. Eb. M c C o r m ick seconded it, and it would have passed 'l>ut a bulldozer began to inquire if ¡there was any thing to com e out o f the estimate. The gentlem anly clerk informed him the regent’s fund, a few hun dred dollars, was to com e out, then another enem y to the taxpayer want ed to know if the foreign scholars paid in anything? Mr. Lay inform ed him of several hundred dollars more under that head. T h e n an other bulldozer wamted to know if there was any mone:y on hand, then Mr. Lav reduced the am o u n t sever al thousand dollars, until these bush whackers had reduced the am o u n i to less than $4,000. I wish to say here that Mr. Lay had no object in keeping back the figures other than to keep the crowd (rom im p o sing upon themselves erroneous taxes. A t this tim e an am endm ent was pro posed to add $400 to the yearly esti mate, which every one could see was for n o other purpose than to keep the pay of the head teacher at $ 1 , - 600. T h e vote was called for, and the ayes and noes were equally di vided, but Mr. M itchell was not sat isfied with the tie wote and wanted a count, so i t was o<rder> d, and we found there were 94 shriebers and 14 of us.

I cannot close this letter without thanking the minority gentlem an for the bold stand they took in the face of that m o tley crowd, but by the time this letter reaches the public ty c the vote will tell how the public leel in this mattter. It is not so m uch m y own taxes that I com plain of. but there are many widows in Batavia who pay large taxes, which is a gTeat hardship. Mr. M cFarland and m yself have kept between us in the st hool for the past 25 years, our children and grandchildren from two to fiv* scholars continually, and m y ta.x has been raised over one hundred per cent, D u ring that tim e formerly I paid 75 cents per year and this year it is $1.68. Another great unneces sary expense is a great bulky library.

'The trustees were authorized by the meu ug to extend the bond and m o rigage held by the District on old school prop erty for $8,000, and which matures Jan. ist, 1 881 . B u r in s the progress of the annual report Mr. Lay stated that last year $6oo rnsapp -rtioned for insurance, but that ow ing to the efforts of Mr. Sm ith the insurance had been procured for $400. Mr. Watson enquired if the insurance L v l not been in charge of a com mittee of which Mr. Smith was a member. Mr. Bierce said that the work had been done by Mr. Smith, that the com m ittee procured the in surance, but that the whole Board had acted upon it. Mr. W iard slated that there was a com m ittee on insurance, consisting of Messrs. Smith* W oodward and Wiard, and that they had acted to gether throughout. H is statement was followed by prolonged cheers. Mr. L a y presented estimates for the ensuing year, showing the amount to be raised by taxation t o be $3, 700. Some one enquired wliether this was upon the basis o f Principal's salary at $1,200 or $r,6oo, and that as the trustees, and not this meeting, con trolled the ^a’arv it \would perhaps be unwise to hamper the Board by lim iting them to $1,200. I-Ie mov ed that therenort be am ended by in creasing the , < oropriation fur Prin cipal's salary i j $1,600, and that thus amended it -be adopted. The motion was put on the am endment and it was declared carried. Mr, M itchell disputed the decision and called for a couait, Messrs. J, R. M itchell and J. H . Bradish were ap pointed tellers to count the votes. They reported the am e n d m e n t car ried 94 to 14. T h e report as amend ed was then adopted. A vote o f thanks was tendered to H o n J. H. Loom is, Senator frotn this District and to Hon. John San ders, M em b e r o f Assembly, for val uable books. A hearty vote o f thanks was also tendered to Mr. John F. L a y for his efficient services as clerk. Mr, Lay stated to the m eeting that the dudes o f clerk had becom e very oppressive, requiring to a large extent the tim e and labor o f the person holding the position. On m otion o f Mr, II. N . Howard, the Board of Trustees were author ized to employ a clerk and fix his salary at an am o u n t not greater than $250. T h e meeting then adjourned.
