were about to start on their travels to

when their wives and children appeared
on the scene. Provost Marshal Fish

offenders by their taking the oath of al

The Rival Pro-

Mr.. Lincoln, Mr.. Chase, and Mr.. Sew.
ard are understood to be rival candidates
for the next Presidency. But as appear
anccs now indicate. the chief rivalry. is
between the two former. Mr.. Lincoln
is determined that he will be re.cected
or at all events, that he will retain his Of

him and Chase seems to be, which shall
secure and consolidate the radicals but
Lincoln has been in position that has
enabled him to make radicals capital fas
ter than he. Which of the two will be
victorious in tho contest, time must de-

The course Mr.. Lincoln has pursued
to gain radical support, has given shape
and color to his Administration, and do

Accounting for the Result.

The following is a Special to the
Chicago Times from Columbus, under
date of October l4th. The writer Of it
undertakes to account for the late e,ec-
tion. Here what he says: :
The Abolitionsts are celebrating their
triumph tonight with bonferes, illumin
atoms. torch-light PROFESSIONS, cannon
and speeches.
Brough's majority will reach twenty
or thirty thousand. That this result sur
prises Democrats is folly to deny. New
er was party more sanguine. They
considered result largely in their favor
certain, with no influence at the polls
They were not prepared for the tactics
adopted. While the Abolitionists were
busy in demonstrating a pretended
scheme of Democra to colonize voters,
and were active in guarding the borders.
they were busy bringing votes into the
State by thousands. The large vote will
surprise every one.
The Democrats will foct up nearly all
the votes they expected some few in
the principal towns having sold out to
shoddy. but. as to the secret Loyal
League, they have been able to distribute
money and men to supply deficiencies
exposed by enrolling officers.
At least twenty thousand soldiers voted
in the State in citizens dress, exclusiv
of those in camps and in uniforms. Fol
days have they poured in by the thou

Having polled every township by The
aid of enrolling officers. it was easy tc
supply the requisite number to overcome
any imaginable ma iority. A hundrec
thousand more votes would have been
made, if necessary.
At polls where there were Democratic
Judges, men never before seen swore to
all the facts of citizenship and residence
required. Money was lavished as If iron

Extremes Rejoicing.

Tine abolitionists are very jubilant
over tho election OF their candidates II
Ohio and Pennsylvania. So are the
rebels, for, as general rule, what pleas.
es one class of extremists delights the
other. We can imagine the rebel shouts
of exultation over the success Of Brough
and Curtain mingling with those Of the
men who cast their ballots for these dis
unionists. Tho Richmond Enquirer.
not long since, expressed its preferences
as to Northern politics very unn,istaka-
bly,:
"To bo plain, We fear and di strust far more
these apparently friendly advances OF the
Democrats than the open atrocity of the phi
lanthropsts Of Massachusetts,. The Demo.
cratic party was always our worst enemy; and
but for its poisonous embrace these States
would havc been free and clear Of the unnat-
ural Union twenty years ago. =
The idea Of that odious party coming to lie
again, and holding out It's arms to us, makes
us shiver. Its foul breath is malaria; it's
touch is DEATH
The Mobile Register, another inauen.
tial rebel organ, plainly manifests the
same opinion
"We thank God from the depths OF our
hearts that tho authorities at Washington
snubbed Vice-President Stephens in his late
attempt TO confer with them on international
affairs without form or ceremony. IL has
been long known here that this gentleman
thought, II he could get to whisper into the
| of m abnut w uahin ~ In th,, rp.
suit might DO terms Of peace ON some sort of
Union or reconstruction. lle seemed to for
get, that Douglas, with whom ho used to
serve, WAS doad, and notwithstanding his
mantle has fallen, by dividing ID into -four
pieces, upon Rich ardson and Voorhees,, Val.
landigham and Pugh, still tho Democratic
party Is not in power now, and We may thank
God for it,"
The news from the recent election,
will strongly cheer the hearts Of men
who think and talk thus. They will
now be able to convince those of theiI
people who fondly supposed that term'
of peace and rn- n-union would be listened
to at tho North, that the rebel States
have but two alternatives presented
them; unconditional submission, which
includes the emancipation and confsca'
ton schemes of the radical abolitionists,
or amore united and persistent effort than
ever to conquer their Independence.
There are thousands Of good and true
men in the South who would have rallied
a strong Union party had they been en-.
couragcd to do SO by the success Of the
Democracy; but since the triumph oI
the radicals assures them that the subju
cation policy will be mercilessly prose
cuted. we may look for more thorough
union than ever, for their own sclf.pres
ervation.

How Our Soldiers Enjoy The
Right Of Suffrage.

The following is from the Louisville
Democrat of the l4th inst. 1t needs no
comment, the bare statement of such an
act Of tyranny should make the cheek
of every Ohio citizen mantle with shame
and Indignation
Yesterday being the day of the cleo
tion of Governor of Ohio, the vote of
the Ohio soldiers stationed in this city
was taken. There We're two polls open
ed, one at exchange barracks and the
other at Camp Joe Holt. We under
stand that at the Exchange Barracks 301
votes were cast. only two of which we've

The Dcfeat--wh"t We should

In tho recent political contest no attack was
made upon the platform of the Democratic par
ty. II was comparatively unassailable. The
questions OF he suprcma cy of the Constitution
and personal rights, rendered by the Democracy,
were not promptly met and combatted by the
opposition. Instead OF meeting us on these Is.
sues, they avoided them and carried the cam.
paign by a personal warfare against our candi
date for Governor. Mr.. ALLAsDIoHAS had
been 80 long and pefsistently abused and msrep
resented that II was impossible to remove all the
predjudice and refute all the false charges made
against him. In addition to this there is a con
siderable portion Of the Democratic party who
do not endorse his peculiar views upon tho war.
II 10 now evident TO all he was not the man for
the occasion.
Although defeated we have great party. A
party that has often been defeated but still lives.
Witr n platform breathing, as a Democratic
platform must do, devotion to the Old Union
and the Old Constitution. and a candidate upon
whom all the anti abolition masses can unite,
success is certain in the Presidential contest of
next year. Who that candidate will be IL for
the future to develope. At the present time.
Gen. MCCLELLAN and Coz. SEYMOUR are upper.
most in the affections Of the people: but revolu.
tions are very quickly made, and few weeks
may serve to place some man now unheard of
upon the tide Of po pular favor. We beg of the
conservative men of the country. those who take
the lead in politics, to wait p, tiently for the
masses to fix their hearts upon the proper IN , n
aud then let him DO nominated, ard he will be
elected.
The result of the recent election in this State
foreshadows nothing. Two years ago the oppo
siton carried the State by $4,000 majority
Ono year ago the Democracy carried IL by 5000
Now 1t has again gone opposition by larg,
majority. Next year If the Democracy an,
other conservative men act prudcntly, we viii
certainly revolutionize the State.
There is but one hope left for tho country
and tha. Is in the next Presidential election. -
Then, let all conservative men act prudently
calmly and with an eye single to the public good
Let personal preferences and preiudices be al
lost sight of in one great and united effort Il
save the country. Delegates will soon be cho
sen to the National Convention. Let thes
delegates be wise and prudent men, who will
make every sacrifice for the public good.
In the meantime the Democracy should keel
up their organizations, circulate documents ant
papers and work increasingly to set the public
mind right. In no political contest was ever in
volved such important interests. Everything II
at stake, and we must lose all or win all.

GEs. BEAUREGARD's RETALiATIoN.-
When Gilmore fred upon Charleston,
Gen. Beauregapd sent him word that if
he repeated the outrage he would retail
late for it. This threat has suggested in
quiry as to the manner Of retaliation, and
the means in Gen. BIS hands to enable
him to do so. We do not know in what
way il was his intention to have retail
ated; but he certainly had one very Ell
fcctive mode at his comniand--that was
the confinement of the Yankee prisoners
in his possession in those houses upon
which the enemy's fire was mainly d.
rected; and in case the direction OF the
heavy missiles hurled into the city was
changed, why change the prisons OF the
prisoners so rs still to make them the
targets of the enemv's big guns. This
would be most efiectual way Of retail
ating for an outrage upon the usages OF
civilized warfare, such as that perpetrated
BY the Yankee General OF course Gen.
Beauregard would inform the enemy OF
this retaliation, and make him altogether
responsible for the murder Of his own
soldiers. We take it for granted that
the enemy will be made to fight his way
regularly, and remove the obstacles to his
approach to the city in order as they
come. He will not be allowed to skip to
Gen. Beauregard will hold
him to his work.
