THE AMERICAN SMOKER,


Consisting of great variety of unique and
beautiful patterns of Cigar Tubes; also, sey-
eral varieties of Pipe Tubes. The peculiarly
about these articles is that each one is arrang-
ed SO as to receive damp sponge, through
which the smoke of the burning cigar has to
pass on its way to the mouth. This damp
sponge not only coolS the smoke, but extracts
from it the nicotine oil, the poisonous proper
tv of the TOBACCO, which renders the breath
less offensive Smokers will find the use OF
these Tubes luxury never before attained
except by using the Turkish water-lar. Their
use will also greatly promote the health ofthe
habitual smoker and preserve the sweetness
of the breath.
THE AMERICAN CARPET HOOK.
Is little cantgiEance for putting down carpets
without tacks. This is Il new article, which
has never before been upon the market. But
it possesses the merit of enabling a person to
pnt down or take up q carpet of the largest
size in general use in fifteen minutes, without
any injury to the floor or carpet. It is very
cheap-cheaFer in the long run than tacks-
ard the great faculty with which even a serv-
ant can take up and put down carpets, with
out the possibility of a mistake, renders it IN
valuable to the housekeeper.
THE AMERICAN PEN HOLDER L WIPER.
1t is a neat invention for holding wet sponge,
into which the pen IS thrust, always coming
out clean and ready for use. \ very conYen-

ick Terry is as much murderer as Cain. or
any one else who ever imbued his hands in
human blood. : And there were accessories
before the fact, men in high position.
The dying Senator himself. felt that he was
the victim of murderous conspiracy and
onslaught, because he had been true 10 his
own convictions of duty and of right, and with
his expiring breath exclaimed: % z
They HAVE KILLED NE BECAUSE WAS or
POSED TO THE EXTENSION OF SLAVERY AND A
CORRUPT ADMINIsTRATIoN.' r.
These dying words are fit to be engraven
on his monument. They are his best epitaph.
Senator Broderick declared positively to his
friends before he took the field, that he would
not take the life of Terry-that he would
shoot below his hips. This relieves him Of
any murderous intent upon taking the 6eld-
the unhappy man yielded to the stern demand
of vitiated public sentiment, and took the
risk of the field of honor to appease that

The regular teiegraphic dispatches from
Columbus. which we presume are reliable. and
name up from the aggregate of information
received at the central point state that the
Hon. William Dennison, Jr., is elected Cover
nor by majority of over fifteen thousand
There is no reason to suppose that any one of
the ticket of which MIR. Dennison is the head,
is far behind him. The Legislature seems to
be heavily Republican. Its complexion did
not, it is pleasant to know depend upon Ham
ilton county. If the charges made by the
Democratic press wherever they presumed
Gov. Chase to he unpopu1arthat he is the Re
publican candidate for Senator, be true, it
must be confessed that there does not seem to
be any possibility of preventing his election
as the successor in the Senate of the Hon.
Geo. E. Pugh. Those disposed to mourn
over such an event are at liberty to proceed
We do not doubt that the Republican senti-
ment of the State is overwhelmingly for Gov
Chase as Senator, and that the Legislature
upon meeting, will make haste to give that
sentiment due expression. The Democracy
for time yesterday consoled themselves by
holding forth that there would be few Op-
position Legislators returned favorable to Cor
win, who would hold the balance of power
on the Senatorial question, and they pleased
themselves by the reflection that. as minori-
ty had once elected Mr.. Chase Senator, so a
minority might defeat him. But if the Re
publican strength is so creator nearly so great,
in both Houses as is represented, there is no
room to doubt the power of the friends of
Mr.. Chase to return him to the Senate. The
Republicans appear to have carried nearly all
the Legislative districts in the State described
in our tables as doubtful This being the case
it is proper for the Democracy to make the
most of their victory in Hamilton county, for

Creating to Ohio.


The recent contest in Ohio has been
watched with unprecedented interest by the
Republicans of other States, and the news Of
our brilliant victory is received with great re
joicing and enthusiasm. The following from
the New York Tribune of Thursday morning,
pays a just compliment to Mr.. Dennison, our
gallant standard bearer, in the contest just
closed. And the handsome reference to Gov.
Chase undoubtedly reflects truly the feeling of
a great majority of the Republicans of Ohio,
not only in regard to the United States Seng-
torship. but to still higher Office, which his
eminent ability and executive wisdom would
adorn, as they have adorned the gubernatorial
Office of this State. The Tribune says:
Ohio has again proclaimed her devotion to
the printip.e of the immortal Ordinance which
consecrated her soil to free labor. The con-
test has been animated; the rival candidates
for Governor-both able and personally WOE
