Total decrease Of votes, 1875, $50
Or about two.fifths Now 10 pretend
in the face ola vote so surprisingly small
on both sides, that by it the Empire State
has spoken decisively on any subject, is
absurd. As for The war, the people nearly
all deplore its existence, but many. il not
large majority, adhere to the almost una
nous declaration Of Congress in the spring
Of lS46, that the war exists by the &C, Of
Mexico, and that our government has
made all reasonable efforts, by negotiation
and Otherwise, 10 bring it 10 close. The
question Of Slavery in any new territory
which We may acquire from Mexico, is
BY many considered Of no practical impor-
lance, because it is presumed that we
shall acquire no territory South Of the
Missouri Compromise line, 36 deg. 80
min., or so lille that it will be overruled
by the territory North ol that parallel,
which will fall within the same State or
States. Others, however, attach more i'm
portance to the sub ect, and probably it in
tluenced few votes, though we are in
clined to think not many. Certain it il,
that on the whole, such pervading apathy
has not existed at any general election in
the State Of New York for many years;
and this is an answer to all the professions
which have been or can be raised By The
riders Of this or that hobby. in favor Of
their respective measures. We thought
at the time, and still think, that the Will
mot proyiso was seized upon by the Barn
burners Convention, rather for the sake
OF making an issue with the Hunkers, than
for any other purpose. We believe the
Hunkers are in principle as favorable to
the Wilmo. proyiso as the BarnburLers,
and pice versa.
"Our object in making these remarks
is, not to commend the war, or oppose the
Wilmot proviso but simply 10 correct an
erroneous impression which appears to
prevail abroad, and which some OF our own
papers seem willing to promote, as to the
causes of the Overwhelming Wing VIC
tory in this State. In our opinion there
was but one prominent cause and that as.
a family difficulty in the Democratic ranks.
The Barnburhere, as class, are more hostile
to the Wigs than The Hunkers are. and this
accounts for the fact, that while thousands
and tens of thousands Of them staid away
from the polls, but few Of them voted the
Wing ticket. The Bar,.6urners are ultra
Democrats on all subjects, besides being
strong free traders. They are more gene.
rally in favor Of the war than the Hupkers.
And yet the absence of their votes j. con-
strued as pronunciamen,o against the
war. #s" s-s-r

Thanks at a Discount.

The Legislature ofOhio, atits late SEES
sion, passed resolutions complimentary
TO the Ohio Volunteers, for their gallantry
at Monterey. A copy of these resolu,
tons was transmitted by Gov. Bebb, to
the c|ommandants of Regiments of Ohio
Volunteers. "a. M. MITCHELL, Col.
Commanding" of the LIST Regiment, has
written to Gov. Bebb, respectfully de-
clining" having the resolutions published
to his regiment, because his regiment was
the only one of the Ohio Volunteers
which had been in a regular battle, and
mo particular reference" was made in the
resolutions to the regiment.
From all this we inferthat"the Colonel
is out-growing his regimentals, and
thanks are at a discount.-O. s. Journal

Brig. Gen. Pillow.

The officers Of the Tennessee Volun.
teers, End Regiment, have published q
card, in which they accuse Gen. Pillow
of gross incompetency and say that the
fault was his that the heights of Cerro
Gordo were not carried by them, In pla-
cling the command of Col. Haskell, the
Gen. by his orders reversed it, the front
rank becoming tho rear and the right OF
the regiment its left. Gea. Pillow is in a

Gambling in Flour.

Few persons not dealers in the article
are probably aware ofthe extent 10 which
gambling in -four is carried on BY dealers
in New York. For instance, we fire..
q%uently see reports in the New York pa
pers, similar to the following:-"Sales of
1000 barrels to arrive in July, at 81, so;
sales of 10000 barrels to arrive in Au-
gust, at 1926" We do not pretend to
say that none of these transactions are
genuine, but we are confident that not
n e-twentieth part changeshands. When
the time comes for delivery, the difference
between the price agreed upon and the
current rate, is paid either by the buyer
or seller, as the case may be. 1t is in
fact, nothing more nor less than a bet on
the state of the market at a given time.
In some cases bets of this kind are prob
ably adopted to bolster up the market
For instance, we find i. the New York
Shipping List, the following transaction
in flour, which took place shortly after
the arrival of the last steamer:--A sale o.
1000 barrels Western, deliverable,
within AZ hours Of the arrival Of the next
Steamer at So, 5 On the day tni:
transaction took place, good Western
-four could have been bought at IS and
the market was tending downward

Rail Road.

We are glad to learn that the Farmers
Of the county, those most deeply inter-
ested, are beginning to wake up to the
importance and benefits of railroad
communication. When they say the
word and are willing to contribute, a
road, either to Newark or Columbus, can
easily be constructed. They have ample
means and as soon as they are convinced
that they will be doubly repaid for any
outlay they may make, we are certain
they will take hold of the matter in car

road. The additional price of all kinds
Of grain, of hogs, of cattle, which they

that they may, in the end, gain largely.
Farmers, look at these things. If the
advantages of a railroad are properly
