TIE TABLE TURNED-It was fact noted by
all those, who heard or read Lincoln's speeches
in Ohio, that he treated of nothing but Douglas,
Douglas Leaving out the introduction and
brief discussion Of general politics, his ad.
dresses were nothing more than phillippics
against his former opponent in Illinois, and II
we are to believe the Republican journals, he
completely aunihilated the Little Giant" uns
til there was not grease spot Of him left. So
we'll pleased were they, with the wholesale
butchery in which he INDUCED, that they pub
lshed full reports of his speeches These
speeches exposed Republication in its most
disgusting character, and held up Douglas as
the only successful opponent Of the Abolition
element in the North. If he could be killed of
the Republicans would sweep over the Northern
States, and triumphantly carry the next Presi>
dental election, His speeches have been pub
lished by the Douglas papers in the South. Forty
seven journals have published them entire and
they have also been put in pamphlet form and
distributed all over the Southern States. They
will help Douglas amazingly in the South, for
if Lincolns fears are well grounded, he is the
only man in the Union who can successfully
stem the current of RepubIicanism, which is
running rampant over the North. Whatever
objections Southerners may have to Douglas,
they would rather see HIM elected a thousand
times over than Republican, aad il they be-
lieve that he is the only man they can elect. as
Lincoln says they will go for him at Charleston
in a body.

In aclergyman's family In Dayton, wish TO en-
quire whether IL is customary TO charge ''help''

understand such IL the rule adopted by some Of
this class in Miami City. SUSAN.
The above is from a veritable Susan, as Il
purports to be. We cannot give the desired
information, for we do not know what Is the
custom here in that regard, and we do not know
what the practice is in Miami City. "Help" is
uncertain at times, and is apt TO incontinently
slide out and remain for hours at a timeS parti
cularly at night, when help is often required
aud we are help less on that account, Under
this or similar practice, we think 10 would be
proper to either discharge, or "dock" the help.
To withhold the wages of "help' for an oc.
cassional hour when she wants 10 ''iuss run over
aud see her sick mother; !" or "drop in a minute
or two and see James baby" or get the pat
tern for cape, and wont be gone any lime at
all, we think is wrong, 1t is worse than
wrong, but we don't care TO say just what we
think about it for fear we might be deemed proi
fame
We would advise Susan to make inquiry At
the proper place The clergyman's wife will
doubtless give the desired information We
hope the practice referred to iu Miami City does
not obtain in the clergymsn's family 10 which
Susan will probably be installed

THE OPENINGS To,DAY.-The various MillinN
cry establishments in the city, that had adver-
tised to make display of their fall and winter
goods toAday, were attractive places last night
by gas light. We were among the admiring
crowds who were peeriug in at the ample show
windows, and participated in the admiration
called forth by the rich and varied display.
The establishment of Mrs Corp, on I'd, near
Main, first attracted our attention. When we
say that the goods made beautiful display 10
the beholder we do not fairly express the ex,
tent of the impression madei they were all that
the most ardent imagination could desire in the
way of feminine adornment. On invitation we
made an inspection in the details of the exqui-
site goods held back in reserve for the ladies,
and we must say that we do not feel compe'
tent to describe them fully to our lady readers.
Theyshould lose no time in calling and exam.
lining the goods at Mrs. Corps store.
Next came the establishments of Mr.. Lussier,
and Mr. Daniels. What we have said Of Mrs.
Corps display may be said of theirs. These
houses are all set up in the best display of fall
and winter millinery ever before presented to
the admiriug eyes of the ladies of Dayton; and
although the weather is not just as pleasant as
might be, we hope that our lady readers will
not neglect to look in upon these places this
afternoon, while every thing is SO beautiful and
attractive.

A WoETHY MAN-We are pleased to learn
that the election of Mr.. Laurens Smith for
State Senator, in the Butler and Warren
district is regarded by his friends as almost
certain. We had some opportunity of nos
ticing his course when he was member Of
of the Senate before, and we are free to say
that that there was not an ADLER or more ef.
fective defender of Democratic measures in
the last legislature than Mr.. Smith. He
was an honor to the district which sent him
there, and he ought to be returned by an i'm
mense majority.

PERSONAL AND GENERAL.-We may have con.
veyed the impression to our readers, from the
remarks we made the other day about the
"roughs," at Breenes, Main St., Just above Sd
that he hadn't any thing else; if any one was
SO green as to imbibe such preposterous idea,
we make all possible haste to inform him that it
is serious mistake. We would prefer that he,
and all others should go to Breene's and ascerN
tain all the facts, and not wait for 'em. In the
mean time it is proper for us TO say that his
stock of clothing goods for men and boys
wear is very mplete-embracin every thing
of the latest styles manufactured in evey part
OF the word--except, the Cannibal Islands
the costume there being made up Of the SKINS
of the humans eatin, aud set off with the scalps
OF the victims, and presenting, probably, the
most picturesque and inhuman tOggin worn
between the arctic and antarctic circles In
gents' furnishing goods he is duJaaj that is
he has every thing gent should have to wear
under hsouter suit and in his boots; and in this
department he will also certainly please all
who have and all who have not taste in dress
His gymnasium shirts and calestheDistic 6xings
are beyond question the ne Plus ultra Of muscle
rigging. In a word, those who desire to b
"fxed up should go to Breene's; he will make
man out of almost any body.

by the annual report of the Treasurer of
Grand Lodge Of the independent Order OF
Odd Fellows of the United States, in session
at Baltimore this week; it . rs that the
receipts for the year are, $i7 355, 70, and the
disbursements $27 ,536 10. The reports also
showed a balance in the treasury Of $40, ,33l,
SO, which sum, it is presumed, will be sufIi-
cieDt to pay the milRge and per diem ex-
penses OF the representatives at the present
session. During the first half Of the first
year the G I. was compelled to borrow SO,
100 TO meet liabilities, and it will again
be necessary 10 authorize the Grand Sire to
issue the notes Of the Grand Lodge for sbou,
the same amount. The Grand Secretary
made a supplementary report showing the
receipt of So, 692, 90 since his first report
was submitted, from Grand Lodges; 81 ,697-

The LAST KALLooH CAsE-The Indian
aEolis journal thus temrs an alleged moral
delinquency on the part of Rev. G. W, Mill
er, pastor Of the Roberts Chapel Congrega-
ton in that city. This Reverend gentleman
is accused of lecherousness Of the grossest
character, and it is said that evidence will
be obtained, that will result in his complete
conviction. He may be an inuoceat man,
but his own equivocations, his associations,
and the attending circumstances are cer-
tainly against him. Rowdies upon the white
river bottoms are daily arrested by the pub
lie authorities and fined, for offences similar,
but less heinous than those charged upon
Rev. Miller, on account of the place and as
sociations where the offence was committed
We forbear making any comments until the
charges are substantiated
