LINCOLN AND THE SoUTu.-More than year
ago, Mr.. Lincoln announced what, in his
opinion, would be the treatment of the South
by the Republicans, if they came into power
A number of Kentuckians being present at a
meeting which he addressed in Cincinnati, he
said, while speaking particularly to them:
81 will tell you, SO far as am authorized
to speak for the Opposition, what we mean to
do with you. We mean to treat you, as near
as We possibly can, as Washington, jefferson
and Madison treated you. We mean to leave
you alone, and in no way interfere with your
institutions; to abide by every compromise of
the Constitution; and in word, coming back
to the original proposition, to treat you, as
far as degenerated men (if we have degener-
ated) may, according to the example of those
noble Observation-Disclosures, Jefferson and
Madison. We mean to remember that you
are as good as we are; that there is no differ
ence between US other than the difference of
circumstances. We mean to recognize and
bear in mind always that you have as good
hearts in your bosoms as other people, or as
we can claim to have, and to treat you accord
ingly. We mean to marry your girls-when
we have charce-the white ones, mean
and l have the honor to inform you that
once did have chance in that way"

How he SOLD THEM. - A few days since
an extra train loaded with jackasses was
transported over the Louisville & New Alba
ny Railroad. The telegraph operator at
Salem, boy, getting wind of it, set afloat a
rumor that large delegation OF Democrat

NOR, increasing as it flew, said that many
eminent speakers were aboard, and that
bands of music accompanied the expedition.
Immense crowds of enthusiastic Douglas men
repaired to the depot, hats 10 hand, ready
tor the expected cheers. When the train
Numbered in and en- aged and venerable

TnE ONO ELECTION. Cincinnati Com.

TuE ONO ELEcroN.--The Cincinnati Com.
nercial of Monday publishes . table of returns
from 80 counties, nearly all ofic,sl, leaving
only six more counties to be heard from.
These 80 counties foot up, by majorities. Is
follows: Republican, 4l,37s; Democratic,
ll,s70-Republicans ahead 2s,50S. which
will probably be reduced two or three hundred
by the returns from the other six counties.
The official canvass of Ohio will show the
Republican majority to be not less than 81, 900
and not more than $4,000. So far, there is .
. Republican gain over the vote Of last year Of
1880. Not bad for State which Douglas,
while making speeches there, claimed IS
certain for the Democracy.
