TIE ELECTIONS.
Condition Of Affairs In Ohio.
A REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN IOWA.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, of Thursday
last, says that the returns from the interior
Of Pennsylvania come in very slowly. There
is no donbt as to tho election of Judge
Sharswood, but the major:ties are still in
doubt.
The returns from Ohio are somewhat con-
fused and contradictory. The impartial
franchise amendment is certainly defeated.
Both parties claim to have secured the Gov
ernor.
The Columbus Leader comedies the State
to Thurman (Dem.), by 5000 majority ; but
the Columbus Journal mentions that Gener-
al Rutherford B. Hays, the Republican can
didatcfor Governor, is certainly elected, and
also that the Republicans have secured a
majority in the lower House of the State
Legislature. The Senate it yields to the
Democrats by one majority.
In Iowa the entire Republican titket has
been successful The returns are not, how
ever. sufficient to give an approximate es-
innate of the majorities.

THE ELECTION.

The result of the election in the State
though something worse than what We an
ticipa:ed, is not entirely unexpected. The
new issues and isms, suddenly forced upon
the Republican party, have had their effect,
and would have crushed out of existence
any other party. The negro suffrage law,
just in ITSELF was alone a heavy burden.
The liquor law was another tremendous en-
gine, put into the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
men for our destruction, by unwise legisa-
tor. Another ism, was tho Puritanism, by
which few bigoted individuals in Phila-
delphia, aided by the country members in
the Legislature (some of them utterly re-
gardless of morals or relgion) outraged the
rights Of the citizens of Philadelphia by re-
fasing to let the majority decide whether
Sunday cars should or should not be per-
mitted to run, as they do in New York,
Boston, &c. The blind bigotry of Repub-
liean editors who were willing to confer
on half civilized negroes the privilege
of deciding by ballot the most sacred
OF our personal and political rights, while
they declared the masses in Philadelphia
could not be trusted to vote on a moral
question, affecting themselves, is such stupid
inconsistency, that no party or organization
could tolerate with impunity in a land of
religious and civil liberty. These are among
the principal causes of the crushing majority
against us in Philadelphia, and our losses in
other parts of the State, and the wonder il
they were not worse.
The punishment comes at a proper time
when no great issues are ut stake. At the
next election, if Republicans are true tc
themselves and their principles, their oppo
nents will meet with defeat from which
they can never recover.
The Philadelphia Press, of Thursday last
speaks as follows of the result Of the election
in Pennsylvania
The Democratic gains Of this year arr
at best but politicians triumph--a matter
of some few votes. A trihing change in {
county or a city ward will turn the scalt
next year.
Accepting all the Democracy claim tn,
situation is by no means disheartening o.
demoralizing. Our principles remain Al
eternal and impregnable-- devotion a
warm and steadfast, and our duty as ob
ligatory as ever From the very nature o
things, the triumph OF the disatfscted De
mocracy can be put temporary and evane
scent. In our party lies the future; We ar,
the history of the country, and history doe
not 90 backward. The cry of reaction i
nnphiiosophical and foolish. Reaction, il
ths current sense Of the campaign, and o
which the Democracy SO noisily clamo
means simply the reputation of the pas
ana that cannot be. The people are no

THE PHILADELPHIA UNION LEAGUE.-The
Philadelphia Morning Post give this brief
history of this patriotic and powerful or.
ganization:
Philadelphia should be proud of her Union
League 1t was started in 1862, on a cold
December night, by company of gentlemen
who had assembled in back parlor of Mr..
Gerhard's, to talk over the election of Scy-
mour as Governor of New York. They were
very gloomy. The war was progressing, ,anC,
it was feared that the effect of the Demo
cratic victory would be to paralyze the war
and lead to national defeat They were
men of high character, not the adventures
ordinarily seen in our politics, but eminent
in all professions of life. 1t was felt that
the time had. come for men to rally around
the country without reference to party. II
was also felt that a social test should be
adopted, and that men who were really
practising treason against the country should
receive no recognition. This was tho begin
ming of the Union League. The ten mem
bers swelled into hundred-the hundred
into thousand, and its membership is now
nearly two thousand. A palace has beer
built upon Broad street, and here the gen
tlemen of the city assemble to speak thei
voice in national affairs Tho influence Of
the League during the war was unbounded

Secretary McCulloch has addressed the
following letter to a gentleman in New
York:
"TREAsURY DEPARTMENT, October 7, 1867.
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 4th inst
is received. Too much Importance is at
tached to the utterauce to which you refer
The people of the United States are all sound
upon the question of the preservation of the
national faith as they were upon the ques
tion of the preservation of the Union.
consider the faith of the Government pledg-
ed to pay the iive-twenty bonds when they
are paid in coin.
"There need be, think, no apprehension
that they will be called in at the expiration
of five ~ years from their respective dates,
and paid in United States notes.
THE United States notes were issued
under the pressure of great necessity, and
are, by authority of Congress, being rapidly
withdrawn from circulation. No more be
issued under existing laws, nor can believe
that any considerable Der of the Members
of Congress would favor an additional issue
for any purpose 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 ma
tion were not involved in the question, sat
isfy holders that fve,twenty bonds will no,
be called in and paid before maturity in {
! deprecated currency.
Very truly yours, II. MCULLocH, Sccy.

THE lNTERNEST OF THB LINCOLN MUIR
DERERs.--On Tuesday last, in accordance
with orders received at the Washington
Arsenal by General Ramsey, cOmmandant OF
the post from General Grant, Secretary of
War, the bodies of the assassination conspi-
rators, as also the body of Wcrzc the Ander-
sonville jailor, were removed from their
graves and rcinterred in another portion of
the grounds. This removal was rendered
necessary in consequence of the projected
improvement of the arsenal grounds, and rs
the contractor for the removal of the old
penitentiary building was about to commence
that work The body of Booth was buried
! in what was known as the wnreroom of the
| Penitentiary building. 1t was incloscd in
an ammunition box, and after the grave was
! filed up with dirt the brick flooring was re-
placed. The burial having been accomplish
ed, the windows were boarded up, and the
door made secure, Secretary Stanton taking
the key with him. The key was kept at the
War Department until few weeks since,
when it was returned to the Arsenal officers
On the receipt of the order for the removal
of the bodies, including that of Booth, on
Tuesday, laborers were at once set to work
and soon accomplished the task, taking tn,
bodies from the graves before mentioned
and carrying them to Warehouse No. l
where trench was dug, few feet from tn,
north wall, in which the bodies were placed
and, as secrecy was enjoined, bu. few persons
were aware that the removals had been made
1t would seem, from this account, that til,
Government does not intend to give up tn
bodies to the relatives. The bodies of Booth
Payne. Harold, Atzeroth, Werze and Mr,
Surratt now rest in common grave.

DEATH OF ELIAS HOWE, JR.-The inyen-
tor of the sewing machine died at his resi-
dcnce, in Brooklyn, Thursday night, aged
forty eight years. He was native of Spen-
Ger, Mass, and worked upon q farm until
seventeen years of age. Then he studied
machinery, after having attended the ord-
nary district school of New England. His
first patent was obtained Sept. 10, 1847.
He built four machines, and then went to
England, where he remained two years, re-
turning poor man in lS49. He worked at
his trade until 1856, continuing his claim in
the courts. His battle was won in 1854. Not
less than 5000 machines had been manufac-
tured up to 1854. The number now exceeds
10000 annually. lie had hard fight in the
beginning, as he was totally destitute OF
means. At the time his death he had a
royalty upon every machine which was manu-.
featured During tho war he enlisted as a
private in Connecticut regiment. His
disease was protracted one, and his death
was unexpected. His life will doubtless in
stigate many to his own zeal, and be Of great
advantage to the country.

INDUCEMENTS TO SETTLE IN TENNESSEE.
The Memphis Post sets forth the advan-
tages offered by Tennessee to nothern i'm.
migrants. 1t says:
There never was, and there probably
never will be, more favorable timo for
northern farmers to come to Tennessee. The
autumn is the best season of the year for
them to come down and get acclimated and
ready for their first summer. This season
too, is unusually healthy throughout all
this region. The heat of our summers We
know is exaggerated at the North. For
ourselves VIC have not suffered mere from
the heat here than in the North, and have
been able to work just rs hard here through
out that season, and with less languor than
at the North; but, though the Memphis
summer has no terror about it, we still think
it better, when convenient, for northern peo
pie to come down in the autumn. Besides
by coming at this time they will be able, i
necessary, to build their houses and fences
or SOW their winter wheat, or plant trees, o
do anything required to put their place il
order for the opening year.
But the special advantage of coming
just now is the abundance OF land offcrc,

MEDICAL science is making rapid progrcss-so
rapid, indeed, as to render il difficult for practi-
TONERS to keep pace with its developments. TOnics
are taking the place of drastics and careful sys-
TEN of diet and exercise is dispensing with drugs to
a remarkable degree. DR.. Benoe Jones, of London,
has discovered in the animal system a substance
called quinoidine. To a deficiency of this, in the
human system, are evidently due those diseases
caused by malarial poison, for it is we'll known
that these poisons destroy this substance. Our OBJ
ect then should be to keep the system supplied with
material from which this substance is elaborated. -.
In the Zingari Bitters we find just such combina-
ton as is required. This Bitters will positively
prevent or cure all malarious diseases.
