five guns, two cO)ors and four hundred and

taken many prisoners also. His attempt to

rCMnSYtNnMinn aud Ohio.

It has been evident to the care al obser
yer for some time past that the Republicans
woud carry Ohio, and mos, probably Penn
sylvaria. There was no doubt Of the sue.
cess OF the / democratic tickets in these two
States if he expression Of the popular sem
timent was LEFT to the unconstraned vote OF
the electors. But it was cle-r that this was
not to be done.
Az an instance, the following special dis
patch was sent from Washington to the New
York papers:
"I'remendous efforts are being made htre
to aid the reelection of Governor Curtin in
PENNSYLVANIA. II IS estimated that ten thou
sand voters will go rom this city home
Arrangements have been made to deiray all
the travelling expenses OF these voters, the
money having been collected from the Gov.
eminent employees"
The New York Tribune predicted Cur.
tins election in Pennsylvania, by majority
OF 1920 "being (it sad) just about the
number OF returned soldiers, invalids, &C.,
who will be on hand 10 give him lift at the
polls"
| II nearly 10000 soldiers have been thrown
into the State to vote for Curtin, what'be-
comes OF the $4,000 who were denied the
privilege?
The dishonesty OF the Administration is
shown not so much 10 the bribery of sol
ders by iurlougbs, and their coercion by
threats, to vote for Curtin, as by the exclu'
sion OF the unterrlfed and unpu'chaseable
Democratic soldiers from oil participation
in the contest.
How far this coercion was carried. is H.
lusirated by the notice which. Phlladel
phia firm-M Moriis, Tasker Il Co.-put up in
conspicuous place in the entrance to their
workshops, on the occasion OF the Republi
can meeting on last Saturday evening:

The foreman OF each department will take

"Mr. c. L. Vallandigham is very
generally regarded by unconditional

non-concur in this estimate. Val. is
devotee ofthe slave power, mistakes
slavery for the Constitution, and is as
wrong-headed as man can be; but,
for Copperhead aspirant in these
days, WE CONSIDER HIM UNUSUALLY
HONEST. He never pretended to de-
sire or favor "a vigorous prosecution
Of the war;; for he has from the onset
not only detested and execrated the
war for the Union, but has frankly
and faithfully declared it. x <

II Il No one can seriously doubt
that, had he remained as he was born
a resident of slave State, he would
have been q Jealous fighting rebel; his
migration to Ohio was a blunder, for
which not he but his father is respon-
sible."

The Beauties Of the Soldier YO-

Yesterday being the day of the elec-
ton of Governor Of Ohio, the vote of
the Ohio soldiers stationed in this city
was takel. There were two polls OPEN
ed, one at Exchange Barracks and the
other at Camp Joe Holt. We under
stand that at the Exchange Barracks
80 votes were cast, only two Of which
we're for Yallandigham. The two that
voted for Vallandigham were immedi.
ately arrested and placed under guard,
Louisville Democrat, Oct. l4th.
We call the attention of the whole
press and people of the United States
to the above. 1t illustrates the prac-
teal working of the soldier-voting law
as carried out by the Administration.
1t explains why it is that the soldier
vote is returned almost or quite unan-
imously for Brough. Those who voted
against Brough in the army were i'm
mediately arrested by the officers
What a farce. The freedom Of the
election under Louis Napoleon was
fair compared to it. Give the army a
fair and honest vote; allow the soldiers
to hear both sides; remove all con
straint from them, and we believe Val
landigham would have obtained nearly
the whole army vote. Their practical
experience would have led them to IA
sor his.policy.

considerable attention, and is believed
