IN CHARACTER.

The Locofoco press throughout they State are
engaged in charging dishonesty and corruption
against the Wings for Gerrymandering the Con.
gressional Districts of Ohio; and insist that had
it not been for that ''rascality" they would have
elected thirteen Representatives to Congress-
Now let us see what this rascality amounts to.
At the Presidential Election in 1874, Mr.. Cay's
majority was about 5000. At the same election
the Wings carried Seren and the Locofocos four
teen of the then Congressional Districts. In 9TH
er words, the Wings, with 5000 majority in the
State, could only elect Ome-third of the Congress.
men. This was Locofoco honesty! The Wings
changed the Districts, and what is the RESULT
At the late election the Wing majority in the State
was about 1000; and the same party elected ele-
zen members of Congress- bare majority. And
this is called Wing Gerrymanderingi We ac-
knowledge that there have been "dishonesty''
somewhere, utinsist that our neighbors have, in
this case, "barked up the wrong tree"

STATE OF THE NATIONAL FINANCES
Correspondence Of the ~ Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 1886.

The officers of the Treasury Department are
engaged in making out their monthly return. 1t
is nearly completed, and am enabled to furnish
you with the following results.
The total amount ofmoney now on deposit in
the several banks and places Of deposit, is be.
tween three and four millions.
The disbursements of the Treasury during the
present month have exceeded the total receipts
100000. The revenue is diminishing and the
acquisitions are becoming more heavy. All the
revenue now paid in is in Treasury Notes.
The actual amount of specie in the vaults of
the Treasury Department, deposited under the
new order, is somewhere between fifty and sixty
thousand dollars.
1t is alleged that the attacks made on the Se-
cretary of the Treasury, in consequence of his
repeated failures to negotiate for the deposit
of Treasury Notes, and his ill success in
endeavoring to obtain loan, are misdirected.
The law vests the whole authority in the
President, and the Secretary, in the course which
he has pursued, has merely acted as the agent
Of the President, conforming all his movements
to the instruction which he has received.

BRANDRETu's PILLS.

HoMNUNIcATIoN.-IIhas: :aken three centuries TO de-

compose the B'anjre.h Pills. These celebrated
Vegetable Pills for one hundred years have been
made az they are now made. The American pub.
lie have iound them deserserving OF patronage.
and It h4s been, and is literally bestowed upon this
medicine. Now, however, no sooner is new ad-
vertscmenI written by The Doctor Gut it is at once
cut out Of the paper, and "Braudfeth" taken ouI

How TO DETECT MINERAL IN PILLS.-Take pill

advantage Of these pills in case of war would ba

remain red hot long time after they are taken from

change their shape bit,-you cannot hurt the shape
Of these pills. Il would be we'll if they were as
harmless TO those who use them. The fact is that

tried by the hle, they change carbonacious mass,
after givlngo great quantity of fame. The one
may be considered the medicine Of Life, the other,
ire-proof pill, or messenger Of Death. This COM

FROM MEXICO.

The news from Mexico is of an important de-
scription. Santa Anna, with 5000 men, is near
Saltlo, making fortfcations. Ampudia is reti-
ring to the same place. The combined force ol
the two Generals is $4,000. The arailable force
Of General Taylor is 5000 or 5000 men. The
Mexicans are in position naturally strong and
will be we'll fortified. Gen. Tayloris ordered to
march forward and route them. A bloody con.
test is shortly expected. We will not indulge in
unpleasant surmises; but await further news with
painful anxiety.

THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL.

CHARLES SCoTT has disposed of the printing es-
tablishment of the Ohio State Journal to WILLIAM
B. THRALL. Mr.. Thrall is no stranger to the
political affairs of Ohio; for many years he has
been favorably known as the editor of the SCR
cleville Herald" The publisher of the Ohio
State Journal, as the writer of this article we'll
knows, had laborious duty to perlorm-one en-
tirely too arduous for any one man to perform,
without serious injury to his health; and we re-
greet to perceive that Mr.. Scott retires from the
Journal with a shattered constitution.
Mr., TEEsDALE, the talented editor of the State
Journal also retires. The Journal while under
his charge, has been conducted with distinguish.
ed ability; and, we feel that we express the senti-
ments of the Wing party, when we say that his
withdrawal from the political field will be deeply
regretted throughout the entire State.
In expressing these sentiments, respecting the
former editor and publisher of the Journal, we do
not wish to be understood as objecting to the
change, or intimating aught against Mr.. Thrall.
Our sole object is to speak of retiring friends, in
way justified by the satisfactory manner in which
they have performed their respective duties.

The WAYNE SENATOR AGAN.-The Ashland

county, two townships of which, voted with
Wayne for Senator, and therefore likely TO be
acquainted with the facts, admits the right of Mr..
Cox to the seat for which Mr.. Wilford, Hard,
has the certificate. ltsays:-
sin Wayne, Mr.. Cox, Independent Wing, is
undoubtedly elected, though Mr.. Wilford, the
Hard candidate, has got the certificate of elec-
ton. An error has been discovered in the poll
book of one of the townships which gives Mr..
Cox clear majority of five. The Senate will
award him the seat, which will give the Wings

THE ELECTIONS.

Bolivar, Oct. l6, l846.

PROGRESS OF THE WHIGs.-The reaction pro-
duced by the mistaken policy Of the Administra.
ton is too decided to be left a matter Of which
there can be any doubt, and too general TO be as
cribed to merely local causes. The strong holds
of the party now in power are giving way in all
directions. New Hampshire fell; Maine falter-
ed; and now Pennsylvania has marched forth,
wilhoutequivocation under Whigbanners. North
Carolina, Kentucky, Maryland, and Ohio show
that the Wings have lost nothing on their own
ground while making such triumphant advances
into the territory of their adyersa7ies. On the
other hand we grow stronger in our own places Of
strength. The storm which prevailed in Penn.
sylyania on the day of the election, is referred to
by the journals of the Administration as explana.
tory of the disasters which overwhelmed their
party on that day. 1t is true there was storm
in Pennsylvania on the lSth-a storm, the ele-
ments of which have been brewing since the date
of the Kane letter. Ii prostrated, among other
rckety ed6ces and unsound structures, certain
political battlements in which parIizan power had
established ITSELF until it believed itself impregna-
BILE, and needed not the decay which had spread
through the foundations of its fortress. There
are other storms in prospect; very heavy blow is
expected two years hence throughout the Union

THE VOTE FOR SENATOR.

An examination has been made of the poll
books and tickets of several townships of this
county, with view of ascertaining whether or
not any mistakes had been made in the returns.
We are informed that several errors have been
discovered-enough, should they be corrected,
to give Mr.. Cox his seat by several votes of a
majority. We are not advised as to whether it
is the intention of Mr.. Cox to claim seat in the
Senate or not; but presume, since it has been as
certained that he has received clear majority
of the votes, he will do so.-[Wooster Demo.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE WAR.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND The WAX.
The course Of the present Administration, and
the party supporting ., in involving US in the pre-.
sent war with Mexico, was one Of unparalleled
blunders. BY forced construction of the act
annexing Texas to the Union,-General Taylor
was ordered to march his force, and encamp as
near the Rio Grande "as circumstances will ad.
nit" This order was in violation Of the intent
Of the act annexing Texas, which, Of itself es-
tablished no boundary between Mexico and Tex.
as; leaving that question open for negotiation
The Mexicans regarded this movement Of the A.
merican army land not without some cause) as
invading their territory. The immediate conse-
quence was the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca
della Palma. Thus were weinvOlved in warby the
President, withou, the knowledge or consent of
Congress,-wi,hout any preparation, and with an
empty treasury Congress had only to ratify a
war already existing.
Reckless as has been the course of the Admin
istration in involving us in war; it is still more
outrageous in conductingit. Gen. Taylor, with
an insufficient force, is ordered TO march in to the
interior of Mexico,-disregard the armistice, and
march to Satillo. The consequences of these
unprecedented movements will, probably, be the
destruction the American army in Mexico. We
have no doubt that the Americans will resist an
unequal force as long as resistance is possible;
but that they will be ultimately overpowered, un.
less speedily reinforced, there is much reason to
fear. When such a catastrophe takes place, and
we are prepared to hear it, let the blame be pa-
ced in the right quarter. The President is res
ponsible for the failure of his ill-advised measures
(or perhaps we should say his cant of measures)
and on him should rest the odium of defeat.

QUERY.-The "Ohio Patriot" accounts for the
defeat of its party in this State, by asserting that
three thousand "good democrats" are now serv.
ing their country in Mexico. There are abun.
dant grounds for disputng the intimation that the
volunteers from Ohio, or even majority ofthem,
are attached to the same political party supported
by the "Patriot." What we wish to enquire,
however, is, how many "good democracts" vol.
unteered to service their country in the Mexican
war, in the estate Of Columbiana7'
