.Judee Douglas.

The Douglas papers tell a tale about a
couple of white cravated gentleinen in the
cars, who, within hearing of the wife Of
Senator Douglas, talked about his dissips-
ted habits, which brought down on their
heads merited rebuke from that lady-7s
rebuke which it is hoped will teach such
men better manners in the future.
Taking advantage of this episode, the
Cincinnati Inquirer pronounees Judge
Douglas Temperance man! Thereupon
the Commercial indulges in fine specl-
men of irony as We have lately seen, as fol-
lows:
'sThe foul and atrocious and infinitely
wicked slander about the Drunkenness of
Douglas in Chic, did. spring up and spread
wonderful. 1t turned Up in, SO many
different forms, and from so many places,
that we were almost forced to giveit United
credit. The letters that we received from
various points on the subject, were almost
sufficient 10 overcome our confidence in the
good habits of the Judge. We were even
then led to conclude that there might be
something peculiar in the influence of the
Ohio water. We are convinced that there
is something in our. atmosphere that has
bad effect on Mr.. Douglas throat. OBJ
serve, within half dozen years be has
three times been posted for a great speech
here. He has often appeared in the
Court Street market-place with an intol-
erable hoarseness. He has been able to
speak Just before he got here, and jus: af-
ter he left here, but in this particular
spot. las Mr.. Lincoln would say he has
no voice. He could speak at Columbus,
and Hamilton (only twenty miles dis
liant, aud at Indianapolis, and Louisville,
and Lafayette, but not here. There is
something wrong in the atmosphere. We
are glad to learn, from the Enquirer, that
Mr.. Douglas is temperance man. 1t re-
moves unpleasant doubts We had been en-
tertaining in consequence Of circumstan-
ces over which we had no control. And
now, it may be well for the Enquirer 10
have our lime stone water analyzed, that
we may have scientific authority to back
our opinions as to its stimulating effects up
on the system of Mr.. Douglas. Accor-
ding to MIR. Douglas great principle, that
lime water cannot be sound which cannot
be taken into all mems stomachs, whether
Of the North and the South, the East and
the West, with perfect impunity. We dc
not like to indulge in unpleasant reminis-
cences, but it will be remembered that the
water which percolates through the lime
stone formation upon which this city and
suburbs stand $50 we have been informed
by geologists) did not agree with Gen
Scott when he passed this way eight years
ago on serpentine tour connected with
his military duties, and having as little re-
lation 10 the Presidency as Mr.. Douglas
hunt for his mother. As our atmosphere
does not effect the throats of other public
men as it does that of MIR. Douglas, it may
not be worth while to give it especial exam
inaticn.

Abont year ago much ado was
made over the supposed murder OF one
Clark Churchill, drover, known TO many
herebou,s. His memorandum book was
found on the depot platform at Erie, and
no tidings of him could afterwards be
gathered. The Erie Dispateh has reliable
information that the supposed murdered
man has turned up in Oregon, in Jackson
county,, He left with considerable money
belonging to parties, by whom he had been
engaged to purchase cattle, and it is sup
posed that he has played sharp game at
their expense. He represents that be was

SHAME.-A few mornings since, the ropes on
the Republican Pole in front of B. CoHN's Cloth
ing Store, were found on the pavement cut into
short pieces.
The greater portion of the democratic voters
in Millersburg are honorable, upright men, but
larger part of the self-styled leaders of that
party here, those who take the initiatory in its
movements, find great trouble in getting all the
opportunities they desire to exhibit their mate
meanness and hatred of their political oppo.
senis.

MORE FUsIoS.-The latest political news is,
that The Douglas party in Ohio has proposed to
fuse with the Gerrit Smith party. allowing the
latter two Electors and blind hand in the
game. If they should fail in this, the Douglas
men viii make a proposition to fuse with the
Snake show now following up the County Fairs,
as they are "bound to fuse" anyhow; and if
driven to extremities, will attach their fortunes
to thetraveling Dutch grocery that accompanied
Douglas in his journey through the West.

Fusion Knocked into Confusion

Fusion Knocked into Confusion
The elections ON Tuesday have made fu
sion worse confused. The Breckenridge
State Committee of Pennsylvania met al
Readisg on the 18th, and sternly resolved
TO have nothing more to do with the Flu
sion, whether with Bell or Douglas men
and the Douglas State COMMITTEES Of New
jersey met the same day, and determined
10 adhere to the Electoral ticket they have
in nomination. l,.- f1,gr
Mr.. Brady, the Breckenridge candidate
for Governor of New York, is stuinpipe
right on against the "marked eard' gentry
Hon. D. S. Dickinson spews out tie fu
sion with earnest gorge; and the New
York Breckenridge State Committee, in
adopting the Douglas Bell ticket went in
on their muscle under the short ribs OF
their new allies, after this fashion; ~,
ave consider it good policy to adopt
their complete Electoral ticket for our own
purposes. We turn their batteries against
themselves. We occupy their own ground.
We make them our allies in spite OF them
selves. We compel them to be our invoL
uutary co-adjutalors in tbs election of our
Presidential candidate, unless they resort
to the treacherous alternative OF defeating
their own Electurs." .,.4 ,,;

Vote Of Ohio for Supreme Judge.

-VoCe " OLlo ioi Supreme d uoSe.
The State Journdl of the 18th pub
fishes table of the reported majorities
in So counties for Supreme Judge, as COM
pared with the majorities for Governor last
year. In the SO counties heard from,
Judge Brinkerhoffgains S,9SS over last
year. The Journal says.
The same ratio of gain in the remaining
SO counties would be 2,6O0-total gain,
6,533, which added to the majority
for Governor last year, lS,236) would
make his majority iu the State 19,769.
Our first estimate of his majority was
therefore correct; it cannot well be less
than $1,000, and may come closely upon
10000.
The balance of the State ticket will be
from six 10 ten thousand above that for
Supreme Judge. 1t will not be less than
25, 900, aud may reach 10000. 4

ed to defeat Mr.. c., the Dayton Gazette
says:
This result was accomplished by import

trict, at the lowest computation, one thou
sand persons have received their final pa
pers; many of them no doubt illegally.
The increase ofvoters, in this county alone,
is about one thousand. Hundreds of men
voted who were never seen before, and no
one can tell "whence they came or whittier
they CO." The friends of Mr.. Craighead
insist that be should contest the election.
He made glorious run and ought not 10

Total - 40, ,445s -l I7 80
The above list includes 81 counties, Al
of which have given Republican majorities
amounting in the aggregate, on the vote
for Supreme Judge alone, to 40,445. The
remaining 81 on our list have given Dem

a Republican majority in 81 counties of

Effect of Fusion.

The New York Post, in speaking of the
fusion in Pennsylvania and its effects, as
illustrated in the election, says: J-ri
q These returns prepare Us also now to
speak more definitely about New York,
where the majority will be nearer 100000
than the figure at which we estimated it a
few weeks since, before we knew the eftics-
cy of fusion.

The Vote on the State Ticket.

We give the majorilies, official and, re-
ported, in Ohio, as far as heard. The vote
is on Supreme Judge, on which all factions
in the State combined against the Repub-
lican candidate. The result is sufficiently
decisive to place Ohio in the front rank of
republican States, and the Western Reserve
at the head of Republican counties. The
majority given for Judge Brinkerhof on
the Reserve will not vary much from his
rnaioriir in the State
