THE OHIO ELECTION, says the Lafayette tlno.)
Iournal. has settled the question OF Mr. Chases
nomination We remarked, it will be remembered,
nm the day before the election, that In case onio
condemned negro suffrage, Chase would disappear
from the arena and Grant would be brought for-
ward more prominently. The result has verineo
tho nrediction. Grant stands forth to-day at once
The hone and glory of the Republican party. Inc
enthusiasm his candidacy would inspire Is needeo
10 arouse the country from the apathy produced
by the selishness, viDainy and imbecihty Oh pon7
tieians Besides, his great firmness, wlsdom' ree7
,snoa and natrotism are wanted at the head OF the
Government He is true to liberty, and possesses
tbe elements OF popular leader. The thousands

nreferment fastened like leeches upon the treas
nry. would at once flock to our standard, carnedl
bv Grant. If the result of the late elections shall
force his nomination over and through all the Pre-
sidential schemes of the politicians, in which, in
case of success, the spous are already parceieo
ont every weH-wisher of the country ought to re-
ioice. Elected, as he would, be, to save SINKING
party, he would be free from party trammels and
free from debt to public leaders. Such President
the country now peeds-one who has no particular
friends to reward or enemies to punish at his
country's expense.
PEOPLE uNFAmLnR with the ways of the pohti-
cal world sometimes ask how money raised for
elections is spent. Committees are not In the
habit of publishing full reports OF their transac-
tions. but occasionally secrets will leak out. We
may divide the purposes for which money is dis
bursed in carrying elections into two classes. we
will call them for convenience sake the wholesale
and the retail. The wholesale purpose is legiti-
mate one the latter is not The former seeks TO
influence men in masses by the employment OF
speakers to present the arguments, by the publ
cstion of tracts Or by the circulation OF newspa-
pers. The latter strikes for the individual voter
and holds out personal indn cement to each to
cast particular ballot. The Democratic Central
Committee Of Pennsylvania adopted the latter
couse. but endesvored to voil it's lstail business
under wholesale gIise. In o "private" circular

paragraph, which shows great skill in the choice
of phrases but whose meaning it is not difficult to
gather: "In very slow Districts would suggest
special contract with active men thus In 1855 the
district polled 100 Democratic votes; in 1866 12O
Democratic votes. Now, for every Democratic
vote over ITO rolled, We will pay you fixed sum
the day after the election. This is simply an in
csntiye to bring out for the vote OF 1867 shows
that they are there. See that your agents have al
Democrats assessed, naturalized, and their taxes
paid. Let me know what can do for you. Send
forward the lists rapidly"
JEFFERSON DAVIS pays the following eloquent
tribute to Southern women 'R asked for my
sublmest idea Of what woman should be in time
of war, I would point to the dear women OF my
people, as I hay, seen them during the recent
struggle. The Spartan mother sent forth her ooy,
bidding him return with hOnor-either carrying
his sword, or ON it. The women OF the South sent
forth their sous, directing them to return with
victory, to return with wounds disabling them
from further service, or never return at oil. All
they had was flung into the conflict beauty, grace
passion, refinement, the exquisite frivohtes 80
dear to the sex, were cast aside; their songs, II
they had any heart to sing, we're patriotic; tnelr
trinkets we're flung into the public crucible; the
carpets from their floors were portioned out as
blankets to the suffering soldiers of their country
Women bred to every refinement OF luxury wore
homespun made by their own hands. AS nurses
Of the sick, as angels of charity, as patient ana
beautiful household deities, accepting every sacri-
fee with unconcern, and lightning the burden OF
war by their art and Establishment, and labor pro-
per to their sphere, the dear women Of the South
deserve to take rank with the highest heroes of the
aTandest days Of the greatest countries"

what is claimed for it, will greatly facilitate the
