OHIO ELECTION.

From the scattering returns re-
ceived from Ohio, it appears that
Gen. Hayes, our candidate for Gov
ernor is elected by small majority.
The people of Ohio also elected
Lieutenant Governor, treasurer,
comptroller, attorney general, judge
of the supreme court, members ofthe
board Of public works, and members
Of the legislature. The question of
amending the state constitution SO.
as to disfranchise deserters, and en-
tend the right of suffrage to colored
as we'll as white men, was voted on.
The legislature elected will choose
a United States Senator, in place of
Ben Wade, and if the Cops, have
succeeded they will undoubtedly send
up thetraitor Vallandigham. In the
I'd Cong. District in Cincinnati, there
was a vacancy occasioned by the re-
signation Of Gen. Hayes, to become
a candidate for Governor. Richard
Smith one ofthe editors Of the Ga
zette was our candidate, while General
Samuel r. Carey, (Brother Of Alice
and Phoebe the Poetists), a delegate
to the convention that nominated
Mr.. Lincoln the last time, and for
many years the most active radical
and violent temperance spouter in
the country, ran independent, secu-
ring the votes of all the rebels corps
whiskcy men, and soreheaded repub
iicans, and, is of course, elected
The great reduction in onr majority
In Ohio, is owing to tho fact of SO
many side questions and incumbran-
ces being hitched on to the party,
and constitutional tendency of her
people to turn double sal.mersaults
about every other year.

aWAPELLO COUNTY.

y Our Republican friends in the diff
erent townships in this county-as a
rule-seem to lack sufficient interest
in political matters. to bring us in
reports of the result OF the election !;
consequently we are without salts
factory or reliable information
from majority Of the townships.
According to our figures we have
carried our ticket by an average of
about fifty, while the contest be
tween Lotspeich and Ross and
kirkpatrick and Bedwell, is SO
close that it will require the official
count to determine the result.
The enormous increase in the Con-
perhead majorities in some of the
townships in this county makes the
presumption of fraud irresistible, and
we presume this. matter will become
q subject for official investigation. =
In the mean time, the enemy not hav-
ing, had an occasion of this sort to
crow over since Bull Run or Stump
ter, are splitting their threats
with rejoicings, Their Qualifications
will be short lived, and will have the
effect to weld together and inspire
the loyol party Of this county with a
spirit and enthusiasm that will car
,ry everything before it at the next
election, by no such meagle and
contemplate majority as we had
day before yesterday.

A Romantic Episode Of Real
Life-From Perjury to wealth.

From the Decatur (Ill.) Magnet:
Most if not nearly all of our citi-
zens noticed a dilapidated vehicle,
somewhat resembling circus wag-
on, located on vacant lot on North
Main street, in which resided an old
and poverty stricken man. Some
time in the spring, the wagon pro-
PEELED by a couple of attenuated hor-
SEES, arrived in this city, and the old
man pitched his tent in the place
mentioned, where through the char
i.y of the owners, be has been per-
mitted to dwell. Here he has lived
ever since, ekins ont an existence by
the donations oil our benevolent citi-
zens. he having disposed of the hor.
SEES for small sum. Yesterday +. S.
Murphy, Esq. one of our prominent
lawyers, received a call from Scotch
gentleman named McGregor, who
after a long and weary search, had
found the individual we have thus
described, and whom he identifies as
the youngest son Of the late Earl of
Clanricarde, one Of the wealthiest
and most influential nobleman in
Scotland. The story related by Nc
Gregor is almost marvellous in its
details, and would furnish the mate
rails for first class three-volume
novel. Some forty years since, the
poor old man who attracted the COM
passion Of our citizens was dashing
and stylish officer in the Life Guards;
becoming eramored of beautiful
girl of humble origin he married her
in opposition to the commands of his
proud father and the remonstrances
Of his equally proud elder brother
Being disinherited and thrown uaon
the world, he sold his commission.
and with his wife came to this conn
try. After five years OF vicissitudes
upon a rugged farm in the Western
wilds, his wife died, and, broken in
spirit and sore in heart, he relinquish-
ed his claim and roamed with aim or
purpose erthe country. During the
Mexican war he enlisted as private
soldier, and served until the close Of
hostilities. Since then he, has been
the companion of rowing Indians, a
deck-hand on steamboats,, peddler,
ETC., until his arrival in this city. BY
tn, death OF. his elder brother: which
occurred about four months since, he
has become possessor of estates to
the value, Of three, thousand pounds
per annun. His good fortune, alas
has come too late. PROSTATE in mind
enfecbled in body. he cannot realize,
nor can he long enjoy the princely
fortune to which he has fallen heir.
Yesterday evening, in care ofMr. Nc
Oregon, he embarked on the eastern
train, en- route for his lordly mansion
inInverness, Scotland. Fortune smiled
too late! his early love sleeps by La
Belle Rivere, and he lives a poor wreck
to bis former self-too imbecile to
heed the frowns or smiles of fortune.
Reader, is not truth stranger than
fiction? Events occur every day that
outrival the widest dreams of the
poet or romancist.

LOVE AFFAIR IN THE Ian
GUAGE OF THE RING.

ing in his New York letter to the
Springfield Republican:
Twas night, and the aromatic Ara
bella and the fuliginous Fitzfoodle, in
accordance with previous arrange
ment-play or pay being the word
were seated in the garden. Both
were in excellent condition aud
showed the benefit of good train
ing.
Arabela was little too much in
flesh perhaps, but Fitzfoodle didn't
carry an ounce of spare weight, and
stepped smilingly into the ring, look
ing confident Of winning.
The moon in the far heavens lay
smiling and serenelike a bottle hold
er, while the stars looked down with
their mild spccular organs, seemingly
ready to act as referees.
A clock in the neighboring kitchen
called time.
Little was lost in preliminary spar
ring; side by side sat tho amative
.amatures grasping each others nav
leys. Indeed, 1t was a beautiful scene,
calling back memories ofthc halcyon
day when the Cohees Chicken had a
mill with the Skeneateles Sockdolla-
ger.
A counter Or two, and Fitzdoodlc
nearly got his left tin around Ara
bella's ribs, his right still grasping
her small and delicate bunch OF
fives. "a. .e,d t3.
is your money mine? asked Fitz-
doodle in tender accents.
No reply was heard; it was evident
that this side windcr had knocked
the breath out Of Arabella.
But the decentralization was but
momentary. II don't see it," she
said, getting her left fin out Of chan
Gerry.
This was one Of Fitzdoodle's mob.
He went down on his knees to avoid
further punishment. At this there
were cries of fowl "fowl," in a res
taurant near by. and the victory was
clrimed for Arabcla.
But Fitzdoodle refused to give it
up, and both retired to their corners.
Arabella came up looking game to
the back bone; Fitzdoodle notwith
standinghis late punishment, etill
smiling and confident.
my parents are wealthy" he
murmured, and again got his lett
duke in on Arabclla's ribs, and fib-
bing away until there was danger of
a row outside the ropes.
"The figure?' she gasped.
"a peach orchard in New jersey"
he returned, and with that put one
in on her potato-trap, which she re-
turned with interest on his kisser.-
Here followed a lively round ,fsoun-
ding exchanges, and it was PLAIN that
from that forth Fitzdoodle had the
fight his own way.
Finding it useless to longer hold
ont, Arabella now threw up the
sponge, closed her lovely peppers,
and reposeG her curly knowledge-b box
peacefully upon Fitzfoodle's manly
bread basket; utterly regardless OF THE
tact that a huge mosquito had tapped
her bugle and was drawing the claret
at a fearful rate.

and sickening details upon the notice

TREASURY IMPAIRMENT,
October Z 1867.

DEAR ,SIRs: Your favor of the 4th
inst. Is received. Too much impor-
lance is attached to the utterances
to which yon refer. The people of
the United States are all sound on
the question Of preservation ofnation-
al faith, AS they were upon the ones
ton of preservation of the Union
| consider the faith of the govern
ment pledged to pay 500 bonds
When they are paid in coin, there
need not, Think, be any apprehen-
sions that they will be called in at
the expiration of five years from their
respective dates and paid in United
States notes. United States notes
were issued under the pressure Of
necessity, and are by authority of
congress being rapidly Withdrawn
from circulation. No more can be
issued under existing Jaws, nor can 1
believe that any considerable num-
her Of members Of congress would
favor an additional issue for any pur-
yose whatever, much less for the
purpose Of paying bonds in violation
Of the express understanding under
which they were negotiated. The
policy Of contracting the circulation
Of United States notes, adopted by
congress and being steadily pursued
by the Secretary, should Of itself,
even if the honor of the nation were
not involved in the question, satisfy
holders that $50 bonds will not be
called in and paid before maturity in
deprecated currency.
Very truly, yours,

aa 94A Your readers after
seeing yonr notice of the time Of the
Richland farmers Club, Agricultur-
al Fair and Pic Mic, will perhaps,
wish to hear more OF it. You NAV
tell them that it was decided sue
cess. The day proved to be very
disagreeable one, with coldrain and
wind from the eouth-east;l but the
programe of the Fair was carried out
to a T.
The forenoon was occupied in en-
tering and arranging Of ar icles for
exhibition, reporting Of committees
&c. AT l o'clock, dinner was an
nonnccd, when we all retired to the
table prepared for the oct aston, and
found it loaded with all the delica-
eies that any hungry appetite could
desire. One good feature was, the
distribution on the table of the nick
max, butter, cheese, grapes, apples,
peaches, &c, that were offered for ex-
hibition, thus feassing the appetite,
as well as the eye. After all were
satisfied, there could have been any
number of baskets full taken up Of
the fragments.
After dinner, we all repaired to the
barn, and listened to an able address
delivered by our worthy member,
Hugh Brown, Esq, Next in order
was the examination of the contents
OF some large watermellons, each one
present constituting himself, or her
selfa committee. Then came the ex.
changing of seeds, specimens, &C.,
when all departed for their homes,
happy that there was such an insti-
tuition as the Richland Farmers Club
and that they attended in first an
nual exhibition. il6a4
There was one hundred and one

Total entries. .a III .lO1
And be it remembered there was
something in all departments worth
looking at, from a fine horse down,
there was something, of almost ev-
erything exhibited. One of the most
attractive scenes, was a large por-
trait Of the great patron of agricul-
ture, George Washington. It was
wreathed in evergreens, and hung in
conspicuous place where all could
see and admire it.
I assure You, Mr.. Editor if the
County can't hold an Agricultural
fair, we can; and that we intend 30
make our next fair still better than
TIE first; that we invite all to join
our club, and help us in the good
cause. We expect at our next meet
ing 60 organize library.
