FROM NEW YORK.

Opinions OF the Press on the Efec
tions-Grcnt Excitement over the
Discovery of Counterfeit Bonds
Items.
NEW YORK, October 10.-The Tribune
SAYS: Ohio on Tuesday gave more
votes and larger proportion OF her
Republican strength for MANHOOD SUI
frage that any other State has ever
giyen-more by many thousands than
She wonld ever have given TIL now.
The vital principle of genuine Deinoc-
row will march on through seeming
dsfsats TO inevitable and conclusive
Triumph. Through whatever trials OF
its consistency the great party will move
right on to the arduous but inevitable
achievement of equal rights for all.
The World says: The news we pub
lish from Ohio fills the measure of our
hopes. The elections are an indignant
and unanimous veto upon the policy oil
the party in power. ;.
The Times says: The elections indi-
cate no increased confidence In the
Democratic party, but simply reaction
against the extreme acts and measures
of the Republican party and convey au
admonition which ought to be sanitary
to political leaders. . o,,o
The Herald says: The recent cleo
tiops do not denote Democratic victor.
les bnt that the Republican element of
the country has stepped aside to resuke
its leaders. -.
The Journal of Commerce says: If
the returns from Ohio can be relied
upon the reaction against negro sui
frare is even more determined than was
expected. 1t will be very difficult for
any faction to secure favor for years to
come. While endorsing this measure
the Commercial Advertiser says: The
muddle between Congress and the Pres
ident occasioned the military recon-
struction act, under which they expect
to bring those States back under negro
supremacy, and this is precisely the
question on which, after full argument,
! Ohio has rendered a verdict, which ends
| Chief Justice Chase's aspirations for the
Presidency. and terminates Ben. Wade's
career.
The Post has nothing editorially on
the subject Of the election.
The Express says the elections mean
the restoration of the Democratic party
to power, and declares against the
whole Congressional reconstruction
system of the Radicals, and all their
paper money management. There never
was SO meaning all election as that IN
Ohio.
| Considerable excitement was caused
in the stock market this morning by
the announcement that counterfeit 7-3Os
of the issue of June, 1865, had been dis
covered. The prices did not, however.
fall off much. The discovery was made
in Washington by the chief clerk
of the Treasury. Department and Mr.,
Clarke, government printer, arrived
this morning with detective, who
is endeavoring to ascertain the
amount issued and the hands through
which the fraudulent notes have passed.
Thus far he has discovered one hundred
and sixty thousand dollars worth, and
has identified number of banks
and banking houses that either now
hold OF have recently passed them.
The issues are all dated between the
2lst of September and the 4th of Octo
Der this year. Many Of them are of
whittier paper than the genuine, the
borders ruled wider and the star
seal slightly larger, with larger
rays. There is q disposition to re-
gard the excitement as unwarranted
by facts. The counterfeits which have
reached this city have been almost en-
tirely from Pittsburgh, Cleveland,
Springfield, and few other Western
cities, and in amounts of but $1,000 to
$1,000 at time The Express says
that the notes are the best counterfeits
ever issued of Government securities,
and that conjecture runs that the whole
amount is from One-half To two and 4
half million dollars. 1t is rumored that
one house here has half IA million.
| The counterfeit bonds are of the sec
ond series of :. 3Os. dated June 10, 1868,
of the denomination of $1,000.
The Commercial says: A some of the
largest dealers i'll this city have been
deceived, it is highly probable that
dealers in other cities have been swim
died by this paper also, and that the
amount may reach a million dollars.
The Board of COuncilmen to-day

yOnd quantities such as they shall fix.

faulting second teller of the Trades

ternal revenue laws the shares of in
formers are to be determined by the
regulations in force ut the time the for

and cannot be affected by any regnla-
ton subsequently made.
The Worlds special dated Columbus,
| o., says: We have undoubtedly elected
Judge Thurman as Governor and the
entire Democratic State ticket with a
majority in both branches of the Legis-
lature.
S. S. COx's kilograms to the World
says: The State officials concede Thur
man and the Democratic State ticket
elected. The Democrats claim from five
to ten thousand majority. The Legis-
lature is probably Democratic in both
branches.
