What Andy Thinks OF the Ohio
Election.

The Washington city Republican OF
the 18th, gives an account OF an inter-
view had with the President, on Satur-
dav, by conservative Republican, IN
which the President freely expressed
himself on the late elections. 1t says:
His attention was called to an analy-
sis of the recent election in Ohio, where
two great parties presented each its
ticket. The people looked at them
both discriminatory, and took the SOL
dier standard-bearer, Hayes, OF the
Republican party, thus seemingly re-
buking the Democrats for nominating
a vallandigham man like Thurman, in,
stead of soldier, and accepted and
elected the Legislative ticket of the
Democratic and conservative party to
prevent the re election of a Radical
like Mr.. Wade, thus repudiating the
two extremes in politics. and then at
the same election they buried the dis
turbing question of negro equality
Said the President, sit is remarka-
BILE fact; it is the logic of events; it is
the true lesson of the election, and what
makes the fact still more remarkable
is that this wonderful discrimination
was made by the people themselves at
the polls, and that these extraordinary
results were obtained in the face of the
Misrepresentation that were constant
ly made in the press and upon the
stump; and, furthermore, that the gov
ernment of the State was in the hands
of the Radicals, and the treasure o.
their wealthy men was poured out like
water to aid them in carrying the State
The people have conquered in spite oi
these appliances, and have pointed out
the right way for others, disregarding
the two dangerous extremes, ard tax.
ing safe, high and Conservative ground
as laid down in the August Philadel-
phia Convention of 1866, upon the Con
stitution for the preservation OF the
States; and in favor of pure loyalty and
a united and free country.

A SERENADE The

A SERENADE ABANDONED. The
President wanted to make a speech
in view of the late elections, but he
was not permitted to do so, as will
be seen by the following telegram to
the Cincinnati Gazette, dated the
10th:
The Democratic evening paper
yesterday announced, with a profu-
sion of capital letters, that the Con
servatives in the city, (the true
Union men, would serenade the
President to night and an announce
ment to the same effect was made in
the Administration organ this morn
ing The Democrats are afraid,
however, TO let the President show
himself in a speech, and shrewd
managers from the North telegraph
ed here this morning protesting
against any utterance by Johnson, at
present. There was some excite
ment among the faithful about the
matter, but the final conclusion was
to abandon the serenade, and it is
therefore announced, in the evening
paper, that "the conservatives, with
that delicate regard for the feelings
of their political opponents, that has
always characterized them, will not
resort to any public manifestations
of joy over that great popular TIL
umph. The proposed serenade will
be deferred to some future occasion
when no harsh construction can pos
sibly be placed upon the demonstra-
tion.' This curiously worded notice
causes a great deal of amusement
among the Republicans. A small
crowd gathered at the White House
early in the evening, but finding
there would be no serenade, they
gazed longingly at the windows for a
sight, and then went home.

Ferdinand Hoffman, discharged
ten days ago from the Ohio Penlten-
tiary, went to the German Reform ed
Church, in Canton, Stark County, o.,
on the 18th, and, ascending to the
choir, where his divorced wife was
sitting, he demanded kiss from her.
She turned toward him, and, on the
instant he stabbed her with a butch
er knife, inficting three wounds in
the breast and eight in the abdomen.
In the wild excitement which follow
ed he escaped from the church, but
was followed by crowd of people
and compelled to surrender. On the
way to the jail, he was assalled by
the unfortunate woman's mother,
who belabored him savagely with a
club. He was beaten severely by
others also, but the officers succeed
ed in deposlting him safely in jail
On the way there was proposal
made to hang him, which found
many supporters; and it was thought
possible he would be taken from the
Jail during the the night and lynch

A Millionaire Private.

In sketch of the life of the late
Elias Howe, Jr., the inventor of the
Sewing Machine, we find the following
incident:
At the moment when Mr.. Howe had
avowed his determination to enlist his
coachman had entered the building to
witness the proceedings. He was a
warm hearted Irishman named Michael
Cahill, past the age of military service,
as defined by law. Upon hearing his
employers speech, he rnshed forward
and clambering upon the PLATFORM, he
cried out: 'Put down my name, too! l
can't bear to have the old man go
alone" So down went Michael Cahill,
coachman, next to that of Elias Howe.
Laughter and cheers, mingled in about
equal proportions.
For four months after the 18th Conn.
entered the field, the Government was
so pressed for money that no payments
to the troops could be made. One day
a private soldier came quietly to the
paymaster's office in Washington, and,
as there were several officers already
there to be attended to, he took his
seat in a corner, to wait his turn
When the officers had been disposed of
Col. Walker turned to him and said:
"Now, my man, what can l do for
you?"
81 have called" said the soldier. "to
see about the payment of the 18th Con-
necticut."
The paymaster, a little irritated,
told him bluntly "that paymaster
could DO nothing without money, and
that until the Government could fur
nish some, it was useless for soldiers to
come bothering him about the payment
of their regiments.
al know" said the soldier, "the
Government is in straits, and have
called to find out how much money 1t
will take to give my regiment two
months pay, and if you will tell me l
am ready to furnish the amount.
The officer stared with astonishment
and asked the name of the soldier, who
was no other than Elias Howe. On re-
ferring to his books, Col. Walker found
that the sum required was S3l, ,ooo.-
Upon receiving the information, the
nriyate wrote a1draft for the sum, and
received in return memorandum GER
tifying the advance, and promising re-
imbursement when the Government
could furnish the money.
Two or three days after, at Fairfax
Court House, the regiment was paid
When Mr.. Howe's name was called, he
went up to the paymaster's desk, re-
ceiying SEA, go Of his own money, and
signed the receipt therefore. private
Elias Howe, Jr., After rendering all the
service which man in his physical
condition could render. he reluctantly
asked discharge, and returned home.
He used to say to the soldiers:
.I've got to leave you boys; I'm OF
no use here: but never mind; when
.your time is out, come to me at Bridge
mort; I'm building large sewing ma
Chine factory there, and I shall have
nlenty of work for those who want it,
MANY of his comrades took him at bis
word, and until his death were at work
under him in various capacities.

The Yellow Fever-the Epidemic
IN Texas,

About twenty per cent. Of the pop
ulation of Hampstead are in their
graves since the epidemic broke out,
three weeks ago, writes gentleman
from that place.
In Harrisburg, Millican, Hunts
vile and La Grange, there us a de-
crease of cases Of sickness and
death, the material being nearly ex-
hausted. At Chapel Hill and Bren-
ham the fever RACES with unabated
violence. In Galveston the daily
deaths by the epidemic have been re-
duced to two, but there were thir-
teen on Saturday last. In Houston
the disease is abating. The Tele.
graph says:
"One of our little newsboys. Ralph
Cuthberson, died yesterday after q
brief struggle with yellow fever
The disease terminated to his head,
and he sang out frequently during
his sickness, Here's your Daily Tel
egraph,' The latest news etc. He
was remarkably bright little fellow,
with large, active brain, and bid
fair had he lived to have made his
mark in the world.
The Telegraph also says that no
less than eight practicing doctors
have died in Houston this year.
The same paper announces the
death Of DR.. J. j. Roberts, at Milli-
can, of black vomit He was a ply
slcian of great prominence, and dur,
ing the epidemic had been untiring
in his devotion to the sick and desti-
tute. During the war DR.. Roberts
was surgeon of the 5th Texas Regi-
ment, Hoods old brigade, and al.
though but twenty-six years Of age,
was a surgeon of distinction, and
was frequently complimented by Sur
gesn G General Moore for his skill.

Anecdote of Hume.

An amusing anecdote is told of
DIR. Robertson, of Scotland, who,
with a ready wit, drew an illustration
from a misfortune of David Hume
to point an argument. 1t was as fol-
lows:
Tne celebrated Mr. Hume wrote
an esssy on the sulliciency of nature;
and the no less celebrated DR.. Rob
ertson on the sufficiency of Revela-
ton, and the insufficiency Of the
light of nature. Hume came one
evening to visit Robertson, and the
evening was spent on the subject
The friends of both were present,
and it is said that Robertson reasoned
with accustomed clearness and pow
er. Whether Hume was convinced
by his reasoning or not we cannot
tell; but at any rate he did not ac
knowledge his conviction. Hume
was very much of gentleman, and
as he rose to depart, bowed politely
to those in the room, while, as he re-
tired through the door, Robertson
took the light to show him the way.
80, SIR" he continued, 81 find the
light of nature always sufficient" as
he bowed on.
The street door was open, and
presently, as he bowed along the en-
try, he stumbled over something
concealed, and pitched down stairs
into the street. Robertson ran after
him with a candle, and, as he held it
oyer him, whispered softly and cum
nlngly,- ,
"You had better have little light
from above, friend Hume" and, rails
ing him up, he bade him good night
and returned to his friends.

Our County Election.

Elsewhere we publish the official
vote of the election in this county.
Tt will be seen that the Republicans
lose three-Representatiye, Sheriff
and Prosecuting Atterney-out of the
seven candidates on the ticket, and
save the State ticket by only ninety
nine msjority. This result was as
unexpected to the Democrats as to
the Republicans, and had the effect
to make cheerful our opponents to q
degree unknown for the past ten
wears at least. But reversible
feats and disappointments-are good
for discipline, if rightly understood
ard received; and we have hopes that
this defeat will prove of signal ad-
vantage to us in time to come.
The cause of so marked a revelu-
tion in this county-a loss OF over
LOCO in the Union majority-is ap-
parent to every one at all conversant
with the facts of the campaign. The
attempt to carry, as part Of the Re-
publican platform, the question ol
negro suffrage, did the business
The people were not prepared just
now to make SO radical q change in
their organic law, and the result has
been defeat instead Of a victory
The question In itself may be just
and right-in harmony with the
great truths of the Declaration ol
independence and the wise teachings
of the Fathers-still our people were
not prepared for it--their education
and prejudices were all against it
and we all know, under such circum
stances, it takes much time and dis
cussion to work so important and
radical a change, IS tnls quession U
manhood suffrage presented.
But we have faith that this revers'
will prove of signal advantage to th
Union organization. The Uniol
army, in the war, had its Bull Rul
disaster, but its only effect was t.
make the Government more wise ant
discreet in its future movements, ant
the end was the more glorious an'
benefcent because of that disaster
So we think in this civil reverse. l
will the better prepare US for tn
Presidential campaign Of next year
and SO prepare us that the result
will show a glorious victory.

~ The Dispatch has q vile and
unwarrantable attack on Messrs.
GRAHAM, KERR and FENNER, the Judg-
es of election in the Sd Ward of this.
city. 1t is of the lowest and mean
est demegougery of which that sheet,
during the campaign, has furnished
many examples. The charge is, that
these Judges permitted negroes to
vote, in violation of law and their
oaths. Now, the editor of that sheet,
if he has q thimbls full of brains,
knows that every mulatto who voted
at the Sd Ward polls had just as
good a right to the ballot as the
aforesaid editor has, and that, if the
Judges had refused them the exer-
else of that right, that they would then
have violated their oaths of office
and subjected themselves to prose
cution for damages. Such is the
judicial decision of the meaning of
word WHITE in the Constitution; first,
by Reuben Wood, a Democrat Su-
preme Judge of this State, and
second, by every court before whom
the question has been brought in the
State. Only last year, or the year
before, the Union Judges Of election
in Pomeroy refused a mulatto his
vote, whereupon Mr.. CARTRIGHr,
Democratic lawyer of that place,
brought suit for the mulatto against
one of the Judges, and obtained a
Judgment of $50 and costs, thus es-
tablishing his right, by judicial in
depreciation, to vote. The decision
of the courts has always been not
Adhesion, we believe to the con srary
has ever been pronounced THAT the
word WHITE in our Constitution means
and includes every person having
more white than black blood in his
veins. If the editor knew these
things, then his article is simply the
meanest demagougery; if he did not.
he is unfit to conduct any sheet ex-
cept Democratic one.
The editor threatens the Judges
with prosecution. He dare not do
it, for then the Judges would be sus-
tanned in their action, and he would
be proven to be common slanderer.
Another prosecution may proceed
from it, and, according to our under
standing of the law, should. We
have law upon our statute books
making it criminal offence for ar
editor thus to SANDER, and thereby
ipiure the reputation or character o
apy one. IF our Prosecuting Attor
ney does his duty in the matter, th'
said editor may find time for bette
thoughts in the lonely hours of jai
life.
