The Election.

At this writing, Wednesday after
noon, we have but little news OF
the result of the election in this
State, but what we have indicates q
largely increased aggregate vote IN
the State, and a reduced majority for
the Union party The Cincinnati
Gazette, of Wednesday, says, "thc
imperfect returns received at this
writing indicate that the Republi-
cans have carried the State by a
majority estimated at 10000, and
have secured both Houses of the
General Assembly. The Constitu-
tional Amendment is supposed to
be lost by not receiving majority
of all the votes cast at this election,
although it is believed to have re
ceiyed a majority of all the votes
cast upon that question. The de-
feat of the franchise amendment
makes bad commentary on the
Congressional plan of recOnstruc-
ton, and leaves an inconvenient
question for the future, In the
present situation Of national affairs,
with an Acting President restrained
in his evil purposes only by the
solid front of the Northern people,
even reduction of the Republican
majority in Ohio is public misfor-
tune, therefore we shall not make a
pretense of rejoicing at our victory
The Republican party might have
done better, and did not. We shall
not now discuss the causes Of this
neglect, although there is some
thing that may justly be said"

- Notwithstanding all the false
hoods and contemplate lying and
prosecutions of the Register and its
hackers in this county against Mr.
McCandless, candidate for County

meanly slandered than this man,
during the late canvass, and for
what ? Simply to defeat him in or,

a Vwas from the Democratic
State Central Committee in a dis.
patch to J,F, Ely, Of this place
which says the State is doubtful
1t may be that the Union State
ticket is defeated, and that Demo
cratic majority is elected to the Leg
ialature. 1t won't do to bet on,
and the result may not be known
until the official vote is counted.
Pennsylvania has gone Democrat
ic, but the majority is not yet
known,
Yesterdays Evening Cincinnati
Times gives the following, in rela-
ton to the Ohio Election
The following dispatch was re-
ceived from the Secretary Of State,
dated at 2:15 P. M, to-day:
Editors TimeS:-Indications ia
vor the election of Hayes by three
thousand to five thousand. Legis-
lature in doubt, but chances in our
favor. WIN. HENRY SMITH.
Pennsylvania has undoubtedly
gone Democratic by small vote,
while Ohio has probably given
Hayes majority Of from 1900 to
5000. ts.
Iowa is Republican by reduced
majority. We have not now room
or time for comment.
LATEsT,-The Cincinnati Gazette
of this morning says that the result
of the election is still doubtful. Ra

pose he had undertaken a speech at
Winchester! How long before we
would have got "those camps and

Sheridan and johnson as Or
ators,

Gen. Sheridan's speech from his
reception last week in Philadelphia
was q little gem, both for size and
quality; and as it will make no in
ordinate demand upon our room,
we reproduce it,
II regret, Mr. Mayor, that have
not language enough to express my
feelings at this high compliment. |
can only say that you will crafty
me very much by conveying to the
Common Council of the city of
Philadelphia, and the citizens, how
highly | feel honored. regret
very much that | have not the abil-
ity to more tittingly express my
appreciation of this welcome.
Deposthencs could not have
beaten this; but we think it hardly
so fine as the speech of the gallant
man Of cavalry at Winchester,
which was as follows:
"Face the other way, boys; face
the other way, We are going to
lick them out of their boots. Boys,
this never should have happened.
We are going to get a twist on
them; win get the tightest twist on
them yet that you ever saw. Wen
have all those camps and cannon
back again"
This considering the circumstan-
ces and its effect, is probably the
finest speech ever made upon bat
tle-feld since the invention of gun
powder 1t would be impossible
for even q Quaker to read 1t without
experiencing a slight military tit
illation. II had a more practical
result than most addresses of the
kind, for it finished Early's army
and the Shenandoah campaign at
the same time. 1t isn't every
speech that can change a rout into
a victory,
But to return to the excellent lit.
tie effort at Philadelphia, If the
critical reader desires to know how
good 1t is, let him imagine the long
wlnded way in which a certain eel
ebrated individual, the initials of
whose name are A. j., would have
said the same thing, Something
after this fashion, we fancy:
"Mr. Mayor--SIR: / regret and
am sorry that do not have and
possess language or words sufficient
or enough to express and utter my
feelings and emotions at this great
and high compliment and act of
eivility, / say that l have not Ian
guage to utter my feelings. This is
a high compliment gentlemen. /
shall regard It with feelings which

CONSISTENCY OF THE DEFEATED
CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR. Gould
in the Register this morning, in
speaking of his defeat for the Sen
ate, claims that he would have de-
feated Col. Yeoman at his own
home by fifty majority. Gould
says; ....-.
"Had not the negroes been allow
ed to vote, we should have beaten
him, (Col. Yeoman) about fifty
votes at his own home"
Now for consistency. In anoth.
cr article in the same paper, Gould
says: -a
"Thc Radicals in this county, by
forcing niggers up to the polls to
vote, on Tuesday, lost THREE
WHITE VOTERS for every mig
ger that they voted. "
According to this paragraph
then, Col. Yeoman lost votes by
the niger vote, instead of gaining
votes, as the Register claims in its
first paragraph; and if the "nig-
ger" had not voted, Gould would
have been at a much greater dis
count at Col. Yeoman's own home
than he was. But that is Butternut
consistency.

MORE BRUTALITY - THE CLEvE-
LAND PRIZE FIaHT.-Two Clcve-
landers, Davis and Gallagher,
fought on Saturday, at Fighting Is
land, eight miles from Detroit, for
a purse of $500, Davis was the
challenging party, The contest
was a desperate one, ending with
the forty fifth round. The last blow
struck by Davis hit Gallagher under
the left jaw, completely raising him
from the ground, and sending him
fiat upon his back into the corner
of the ring, He lay motionless on
the ground for several minutes. ap-
parently killed, AS it was, his ner-
yous system was so shocked that
he was perfectly unnamed, crying
like a child. Davis was considera.
bly, bruised and battered, but came
out in better condition than his de-
feated opponent. The principals
and spectators left Cleveland in
steamboat on Friday evening, and
no steps seem to have been taken
to check their brutal proceedings,
though the fight had been talked
about for two weeks previous 10 its
occurrence.

The Result.

We extract the following from a
leading editorial article on the sub
ject of the election, from yesterday
evenings Cincinnati Times:
We are aware of the gigantic
proportions to which his accidcncy
in the White House will swell him
self under the imitation of the elec.
tions yesterday. That he will seek
to accomplish something very de-
cisive there is no doubt. He is
just reckless enough to regard the
results of 1867 as indications Of
the results for 1868; but he will be
a disappointed man if he counts too
largely on the ratification next year
of the present reaction. Our po-
litical history teaches us that a great
political change one year is not sus.
tanned the year following. 1t is
fortunate, If the change must come,
that it has now occurred. 1t af-
fords q tolerable guaranty for good
results at the next Presidential elec-
ton. We do not, therefore, in
dulge very much grief at the result
of the poll ye tcrday. Better now
than twelve months hence.
Congress, when it meets next
month, will, Of course, feel some
what modesly inclined. We be.
lieve in respecting the popular will,
and do not believe that the example
of the President in this regard is
fit for imitation, What is that will
in reference to the course of Con.
gress 1t is, and nothing else,
that Congress has gone to the full
extent of prudence in the question
of reconstruction. The majority,
"a bare majority, of the people
sustain Congress, (not counting, of
course, the Southern rebels),
The present plan Of restoring
the Union is approved, and will be
carried out; but all the radicals Of
Congress may now cease to agitate
their other measures. lmpeach
ment is now laid on the shelf, as is
also the daring adventure in the
appointing Of a committee to in.
quiro into the government Of Mary.
land and report whether it be ire.
publican in form" or not, as well
as the Sumner project of forcing
negro suffrage upon all the North.
ern States. Congress- can now de-
vote itself to the support OF what
1t has done 1t will be all 1t can do
in that regard,
The only fear there Is now in re-
spect to reconstruction is that the
result Of the elections will weaken
the back. bone Of so many Con.
gressmcn that a two-thirds vote can
no longer be commanded against
the veto power. Mr., johnson will
do all he can TO embarrass the ope-
ration Of the law in the South, aud
he will veto all measures Of Con
gress calculated to check him. and
Il the two thirds vote shall now
fail, Congress may he compelled to
let the work go over to another
election or to compromise to some
extent with Mr.. Johnson.

on Tuesday, some 20 or 20 persons

Gen. S. F. Cary is elected to
Congress from the Second District
Of Cincinnati, by a small majority,
in place Of Gen, r. B. Hayes
Cary has always been Union man,
but was taken up by the factionists
and adopted by the Democrats as
their candidate for this occasion
but Gen. Cary will be but a year
ling in Congress, and when he has
served his year out will be permit
ted to retire to private life. Ham
ilton county has gone Union. The
Gazette Of yesterday says;
We have elected our County and
Legislative tickets by majorities
ranging from 900 to 1000, with the
exception Of County Treasurer,
who is chosen by 4 very small ma
jority, il at all.
The vote on the Constitutional
Amendment indicates a majority Of
about 1000 against that measure,
which far exceeds the worst fears
Of its friends.

IMPEACHMENT. - If we mistake
not the determination to have An
drew johnson impeached and re-
moved is growing daily. The 10y
al South and West have always de-
sired his removal. The opposition
to 1t came from the North and East
There is not a single Union paper
of any standing that does not favor
bis impeachment. When the Balti-
more Convention was in session,
the Kentucky delegation was asked
to vote for Johnson for Vice Pres
ident Doctor Robert J. Breeken-
ridge, a member of that delegation,
opposed him, but was voted down.
II was then proposed to make the
nomination unanimous in the dele
CATION, but so fixed in his opposi-
ton was the Doctor that he said to
the delegation, "lf you attempt to
cast the unanimous vote Of this del
egation for johnson, l will rise in
open convention and demand that
my vote be recorded against him."
This Judgment of this distinguished
man has been fully sustained. An
drew Johnson never had the respect
of Southern Union men. He has
betrayed them, and as far as posi-
ble ruined them, and they would
hail with delight the day when he
was impeached and removed. Let
New York and New England stop
their opposition to a movement
necessary to save from complete
degradation the Union element of
the South.-Rentacky Statesman.
