Iowa ElectIon.

The following extract from letter writ
ten by a gentleman of the highest respect
ability In that State, will be found very sug-
gestive:
1.-The defeat of General Benton in this
State and the triumph of the radical Negro
Suffrage ticket, will be entirely owing TO
the Presidents ocn o6ice-holders. we might
have overcome the State patronage, but
am fearful that the General Government
will be too much for us. 1t is the first
time in the political history of this coun-
trv that an Administration stood by and
saw its own friends defeated by its own
patronage.
'sOne of the Cabinet officers (Harlan) Is
now in the State, openly electioneering for
Stone, and will continue to do so until after
the October election"
The above is from the Washington Consti-
tuition. The state of facts which it discloses
in Iowa was also remarked in ONO. Here,
the most prominent workers for the ticket
which Is opposed to the Presidents policy
of reconstruction OF the seeded States were
the Government otfice-holders. They were
the active men in endeavoring to defeat the
leading and favorite measure of the Presi.
dent-a fact which it is proper he should
know Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Postmaster of this city gave his per-
sonal attention to the campaign-opposing
President JoHNsoN's Restoration Policy,
with all the, feeble ability he possesses. His
efforts against us contributed very mater
tally to our splendid success in Columbus
and Franklin county. a'-| TA

The State Election.

=
In 1868, ON the home and soldiers votes,
BRoueH carried Ohio by majority OF
lOl,OO0; and in 1864, on the same vote,
LINCOLN carried the State by 10000 ma
;ority; and now, only one year after
wards, Cox has only carried the State
by majority of, say, 10000 votes, show
ing Republican loss, and Democratic
gain, of $1,000 since. 1868, and DEM
ocratic gain, and a Republican loss, of 10000
since last year. sa5l.5
These figures amount to positive trl7
umph of the Democratic party, and render
It certain that we will sweep the state at
the Congressional elections next year. The
people of Ohio are nearly, right, and one
year more of unequal taxation>and bad
government will place our State where of
right she belongs-in the array of Demo-
cratic States. In sentiment and by right
Ohio belongs to the Democracy, and has
only been kept in the Republican ranks by
the agitation of theTslavery question; and
now that slavery has been abolished by the
Southern States themselves, that disturbing
element will no longer exist to confuse and
confound the action Of our people.
Z But, aside from the certainty of success
In the elections for 1866, the Democracy
have every reason to be proud of the great
contest through which we have just passed.
Our Platform was just, manly and patriot
ic: and our Standard Bearer held our colors
proudly aloft; and he met all the issues OF
the day by direct and frank argument be-
tore the people; and in principle, his speech
es were the same on the Lake shore and the
Ohio river, on the Pennsylvania and
Virginia line, as upon the boundary OF In
diana.
1t is far better for us that the people
should, for time yet, experience the ef-
fccts of Republican misrule, so that when
they do get their eyes open, they will for
ever after see clearly, and act wisely upon
the grave issues which divide our people.
BY their votes, the people have asked for
more taxes, and their request will be COM
piled with; they have indicated their pref
erence for Negro Suffrage, and General
Cox will try and not have them disap-
pointed. -
70 We then say to our Democratic friends,
be full of hope and full of courage, for the
day of our country's deliverance is near at
hand.

The Cincinnati Commercial and
i' ''' i-t lhe Radicals. DAD


The Cincinnati Commercial of the 18th
pitches into the Gazette and its radical CO.
laborers in the following vigorous style:
The Gazette yesterday asserted that
Cox,s letter to the Oberlin committee
cost the Union party ten thousand votes,
and further assumed that falling off in
the Union vote was because the platform
was not radical enough. This is great
mistake. If the radical counsels urged by
the Gazette had been adopted by the Union
party, the State would have been carried
by the Democracy.
General Cox's letter saved many more
thousands of votes than it cost us. The fall
ing off in the vote of the Union party,
where such phenomenon occurs, may fair
ly be ascribed to the Incorporate energy OF
the radicals in striving to force upon the
State issues not practically before its peo-
pie, and directly playing into the hands OF
the Democratic leaders by doing so. ..-
The radicals also placed themselves In an
attitude of hostility to the Administration,
thus giving color of credibility to the 9TH
erwise utterly incredible and absurd claim
of the Democracy, that they are the real
Administration parry. After giving this
assistance to the enemy, it is rather cool
proceeding for the radical organs to be
charging the results of their own folly up
on those who have kept the faith and done
the work that have saved the State.

Gen. ROBERT E. LEE was installed Presi-
dent of Washington College, at Lexington,
Va, on the I'd of October. The proceed
ings were strictly modest and unpretending
General LEE himself having absolutely
overruled a proposition, for an imposing
public display with music, military, and
girls bearing chaplets of flowers. The GER
emonies took place in recitation room, at
which only the College officials and a few
town officers and visitors were present.
A letter which lies before us, dated Lex
ington, October Sd, gives a full account of
the Installation ceremonies. The General
was indicted into the room by the Board of
Trustees. AT his entrance and introduction,
all In the room rose, bowed, and then were
seated. The Installation was very simple
indeed-an exact and barren compliance
with the required formula of taking the
oath. by the new President, and nothing
more. The ceremonies were opened
with prayer, in which a divine invo-
cation for the President of the United
OtdJCo W DO q uObiCCdulC 4uto Cuu-
ed. Judge BRocKENBRoUGH, Chairman OF
the Board of Trustees, stated the object of
their coming together. He felt the serious
dignity OF the occasion; but it was serious
ness and dignity that should be mingled
with heartfelt joy and gladness. Passing
a brief eulogy upon General LEE, and con-
graduating tile Board and the College, and
its present and future students, on having
secured one so worthy to preside over the
College, he said he could say great deal
more, had it not been voted against speech
making
General LEE, during the brief address,
remained standing before the speaker and
audience. He then took the oath of Office,
when the keys were delivered to him-atter
which the proceedings terminated with
few words of congratulation and a general
shaking of hands.
