A Great Hotel to be Built al
New York.

A New York correspondent of the Cincin.
natl Gazette says:
The great Central Park Hotel, to be erect
ed by Hiram Cranston of New York, at the
corner OF Fifty-ninth street, will no doubt
eclipse anything ofthe kind in this or any
other country. The ground will be broken
next spring, and it issupposed that two or
three years will be required for its compile
tion A number of capitalists are interest
cd in it, and whatever taste can devise and
money can be purchase will be lavshed
upon the new house. 1t is to bo half as
large again and thrice as elegant as the
Fifth Avenne; is to be built of white mar
BILE, and to contain over five hundred 70 oms,
all OF which are to be furnished in O style
OF magnificence hitherto unknown even 10
this extravagaIt country.
A number Of modern improvements are
to be introduced, among them private break
fast and dining rooms, suites of apa rtments
for families where they can live with entire
privacy; baths of the Oriental and Roman
sort, where luxury is to be exhausted in de-
signs and appliances. In addition to this
the guests are to be favored with hot houses,
fountains and delightful garden il tho CEN
ter Of the hotel, which if half that is prom
issd be carried out, will be splendid and ele-
giant at the same time, and be a miracle of
luxury and art. OF course it will be good

An Extract frem the Record that
the People will Never Forget

The New York World informs the
American people that the Democratic
party carried on the war and saved the
Union. "rhe Democrats of America" {"

describing President J ohnson as boor,
an illiterate tailor, and drunkard,
"persistently, patiently, and at last,

Truth is always simple. On the l7tb

Rev. j. NJ, THoBURN, the widely known

Especially has his native State (Ohio) en-.

1t is not stating too much to say that the
missionary cause throughout that State
has been greatly advanced by his efforts

DIminishing Confldence,

Democracy. since the election, has not 80
much confidence in President johnson as it
had. The Enquirer turns and thrusts a
knife into the bowels of his reconstruction
measures in the following style:
"We have no right to require smancipa
ton, no right to appoint Provisional Gov.
ernors, no right to do anything but march
our, troops out Of tho conquered territory,
and leave to the inhabitats of the South, to
as full and complete an extent ss we enjoy
affairs"
Not having any right to do il, of course
the doing OF it is violation of the Consti,
tuition, an invasion of the rights of the
States and the liberties of the people, and
President johnson is usurper and merits
impeachment. This is the way the Demo-
cratic party backs Andy johnson after the
election. And this is the way il shows its
own abasoment iu indorsing all These meas
ures before election. = Gin. Gaz.

COLLEGE LAND SCRIP.

We find the following paragraph in
the last issue of the Ohio Farmer, and
adopt it as our own:
We desire to call the attention of all
who contemplate the purchase of Gov
ernment lands, to the fact that the Pub
lie Land Scrip granted to the State of
Ohio, for the endowment of agricultu
raj colleges, is now in the market, and
can be purchased, per acre, at less
rate perhaps than the price they would
be required to pay if payment were
mace at any one of the public land
offices. With this scrip, the holder can
locate anypublic lands, except mineral,
now open or hereafter to be opened for
entry. There are in Ohio, undoubtedly
thousands who have determined to
purchas public lands this fall. To all
such we would say, that by purchasing
this College Land Scrip, they will ac-
oomplish two desirable objects while
insuring the main one of securing
portion Of the public domain-viz !:
they will benefit themselves by q saw
ing in the purchase money, and they
will be assisting to secure the prompt
sale of the scrip, and consequently the
earlier accomplishment of the desira-
BILE object for which the lands were do
mated to the Government. Moreover
it is safer, while "prospecting" for q
location in the West, to have the scrip
in ones pocket than the greenbacks. -
Take our advice, and before starting
West apply to the Auditor of your
County, who will at once transmit your
bid to the State officers for any number
of Land Scrips Of one hundred and
sixty acres each-none being issued
for less quantity than this

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS

n EA<hS HONSs
The October elections this Fall gave
victory TO the Union Party everywhere.
The line is unbroken from the banks
Of the Delaware to the plains of Iowa.
PESNsrLv MIA gives the Union can
didates from 20, 900 to 1000 majority.
This is especially gratifying. In that
Ssate-like Ohio-both tickets were
headed by soldiers; but the People
very readily saw that if the Confeder
ate ticket was successful, the can lidates
elected on 1t, whatever might be their
individual opinions, must conform to
theviews and doctrines Of the BUcHAN
Ans and BLACKS OF that State. The
victory in the State is a grand one.
OHIO gives Gen. Cox about 10000
majority ON the home vote. The bal
ance of the State ticket is ahead Of
Cox. Gen. Cox's Oberln letter doubt
ieso cost him good many votes among
che radicals'on the Reserve. The Leg
islsture elected Is largely Union. This
Legislature will have to elect United
States Senator, In the place of Mr.
SHERMAN. The candidates are JOHN
SHERMAN, JOHN A. BINGHAM and
Robert C. ScnENoK-all statesmen of
great experience and enlarged and lib
eral views. We print in another col.
umn the members elected to the Leg
islature, 80 far as report ed.
hD1ANA held no general election,
but everywhere the Confederate Dem
ocracy were routed on the local tickets.
The CITY Of Fort Wayne and Allen
County-from time immemorial ''Dem-
ocratic"-this Fall gave decided Union
majorities; and 30 it is throughout the
State
Iowa elected Governor and other
State officers. Although the Unionists
put plank in their platform in favor
Of manhood suffrage, their ticket swept
the Hawkeye State by 16, 1000 majority.
New JERSEY and New York vote
in November. In the former State the
sole issue is the Constitutional Amend
ment abolishing Slavery. New Jersey
gave about 1000 majority against Mr.
LINCOLN. The city Of Newark, at a
charter election, has brushed away
nearly half of this majority, and we
firmly believe the Unionists will carry
the State. The Democratic majority
in that State has doggedly persisted in
refusing to give vote to her soldiers
Those soldiers are ut home now, and
the Copperhead faction will hear from
them in November. Gen. KILpArRIcK
and others are doing gallant service on
the stump
Along with all this good news, we
regret to announce the defeat of Judge
-CowEs in this Judicial District, al
though We confess it was like "hoping
against hope" to expect anything else.
Belmont gives CowEN 1877 majority
Guernsey GAO; total of TT. The
soldiers will probably send him into
Monroe County with 900 majority; but
against this Monroe rolls up about A.
600 majority for KEsNoN. Judge
CowES made handsome run. He is
over 100 ahead of his ticket In this
County, while KKNNoN is 800 or 400
behind his ticket in Monroe. His
friends can t crow very much over his
election.
