The Eighth Ohio.

The "great reaction" the ground
swell" that was to sweep Congress and
Republicanism into the vortex of the past,
seems not to be working properly. Last
tall, the Eighth Congressional district OF
Ohio went Republican by very small
majority, and consequently Democracy
was certain that the ordinary progress Of
events would give them triumph in the
recent special election held in that dis
trict for representative. But alas fer the
slip 'twixt the cup aud the lip Over
one thousand majority on the Republican
side is very hard pill to swallow, and
sure enough there are many wry faces in
putting it down. There is certainly no
susal on that pill.

NOur Next Governor"

Somebody, through the Knoxville
Wing of Wednesday. suggests Judge n.
A. Patterson as the Radical candidate
for Governor. The writer, in pressing
his fitness, says (what no loyal man will
dispute):
Our laws rs now written must not be
diminished in force or spirit. but rather
strengthened and executed with earnest,
fearless and determined vigOr.
Our chief Executive must be natu-
raj statesman-a man of sleeplcss vigil
lance, energy, and fearless purpose to
do right in the administration of the
affairs of the State on broad radical re-
publican grounds.
We have been acquainted with Judge
Patterson for number of years. and
have no hesitation in saying that he
ellis the bill" to a dinctum. When the
Sanhedrim meets we shall be disap.
pointed and mortified if he is not unani
mOusly nominated

Railroad Absorption.

The following, from the New Albany
Commercial, will perhaps attract attcn-
ton:
The loan of SS,OOOOOO just effected by
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company, was with Tennessee capital
lists. The money was paid to James
Guthrie, Jr., at the Companys office in
Nashville, on Thursday. Eight thou
sand dollars in revenue stamps were at
tached to the papers. The money, it is
said, will be used by the company in
purchasing roads in Tennessee, which
are to be sold by the government of
that State. The object of the Company
seems to be to get controlling infiu-
ence in the vital roads of that State with
view to the aggrandizement of their
main enterprise: the Nashville line and
the city of Louisville. The necessities
of the State Of Tennessee will be used
to advantage by the capitalists of Lou
vile, and, Judging from how such
things are going, there is every reason
for entertaining the belief that Louis
vile will become the railroad center OF
the Southwest, and WELD an influence,
both political and commercial, which
will be felt down to the gulf

VIII Grant be our Next President:

The Chicago RepuJlic0R, a Radical
organ whose mission seems to be to out
Radical the Chicago Tri6une, has the
following significant passage in the last
leading editorial article: ..
1t is assumed by many that General
Grant will Immediately resign his po-
sition as General Chief of our armies.
and that duty as well as dccorum re-
quires it. This assumption only shows
how ignorant certain persons are about
the nature of his Office and the require
ments of the Constitution. Grant is
not yet even President elect. Accord
ing to the theory of the Constitution
the Electors, chosen by the people OF
the several States, are supposed to be
seriously canvassing the qualifications
and claims of such citizens as they be.
lieve ought to be made President, in
which the names Of Grant and Sey-
mour appear only as two persons
among hundreds of others. Grant will
not be President elect until declared so
by the counting of the Electoral votes,
on the second Wednesday in February,
before the President of the Senate OF
the United States. Before the result OF
the ballot made by the Electoral Col
lege is officially declared, it would be
the hight of indecorum for General
Grant TO assume, by resigning his po-
sition as Chief, that he is to
be the next Executive of the nation.

Grant and his Cabinet.

All our advices from Washington are
made up of speculations about Presi-
dent Grant and his Cabinet, what he
will be likely to do, and what he won't
do, when he gets fairly into the Presi-
dental saddle. Nothing positive. how
ever. is known of that reticcnt gentle
mans intentions in the premises. Sher-
man will probably be made Secretary
of War, and apprehension begins to OBJ
tain that the military element will come
in for pretty heavy share of Execu-
tive favor. The country elected him
because of the odor of the battlefield
that surrounds his name, and it is not
possible that man of the Generals to-
nacity will overlook his former COM
rades i'll ladling out the government

Letter from Gen. Butler.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 13.-The Con-
rier and journal will publish tomorrow
a private letter from Gen. Butler, in
which he says:
''That we are politically opposed I
think must arise from the different light
in which we see the same thing. The
South has no firmer friend than am
and have ever been.-It is part of my
country; and although may misjudgc
in the best way to preserve the South
from the consequences of what | must
regard as great crime, and still worse.
n blundcr. yet would do anything if |
could be convinced that it would tend
to the prosperity, quiet and regenera-
ton Of the South as part of my coun-
try.
81 bear no hatred to the South, or
Southern men as such, If | know my
own heart; but am opposed only to
those who still war upon the best inter-
csts of the country, as | understand
them; and that opposition, from the
very necessities of my nature, will be a
stern and unyielding one. hope to see
you, and assure you in person, that |
can be as ardent a friend in peace, as |
was determined and unrelenting foe in
war;"
The journal and Courier says of this
GAS partisan we have fired the heavi-
est guns in our battery at Gen. Butler.
When he scars so high, and demon
strates his will is equal to his capacity
for good, our guns shall all be spiked,
and turned upon those who may assail
his acts in our behalf"

Cate Catching 1t.

The Memphis Post, Radical, says of
the attempt to GUST Speaker Senter:
The movement was undoubtedly in
spired by desire to prevent Speaker
Senter from taking the Gubernatorial
chair when vacated by Gov. Brown
lows entering upon his duties as United
States Senator. on the 18th Of March
next. His hearty and almost unani-
nous Endorsement by the Senate will
settle, we trust. such idle and mali
cious attempts forever. The action of
the Senate will meet with an equally
unanimous Endorsement by the Repub-
licans of the State.

Mormon View of the Earthquake.

NhVh'hOh NiSW Va Vic CstTthuuuNCs
The Deseret Ne'cs, Mormon organ at
Salt Lake City, says:
scarcely a day-certainly not a week
has passed for some time that has not
brought the account of an earthquake,
tidal wave or some startling physical
phenomenon in some part of the world.
Wonder is expressed by many at the
frequency of these recent visitations,
and in some quarters, especially. where
the purturbations occur, considerable
alarm is felt. But, in revelation given
December 81, 1882, the Lord told the
world, through his servant, Joseph
Smith, that: pt. 80 -. pt ..'
"'After your testimony comctlr wrath
and indignation upon the people: for
after your testimony cometh the testi-
mony of earthquakes, that shall cause
grooming in the midst of her, and men
shall fall upon the ground, and shall not
be able to stand. And also comcth the
| testimony of the voice of thundcrings.
and of the voice of lightnings, and the
voice of tempests, and the voice of the
waves of the sea, heaving themselves
beyond their bounds. And all things
shall be in commotion; and surely,
mems hearts shall fail them; for fear
shall come upon all people, .....
"These occurrences cause no surprise
among the people Of Utah; we should
be disappointed if they did not occur
All the great cities of our Union have
been warned. The servants of God
have borne testimony year after year,
unto the people, and their testimony be-

The Judicial Elections.

The bill referred to by our Nashville
correspondent providing for the bring
ing on the elections of Judges, Cham
cclIors and Attorneys General, has pass
ed n third reading in the Senate, and
been transmitted to the House. 1t was
amended on recommendation of the
Judiciary Committee, and provides that
the elections shall be held on the fourth
Monday of May, 1869. 1t is surmised
that it will meet with heavier OPPOSE
ton in the House, but the measure is so
just and the necessity for its adoption
so imperative, that it is difficult to con-
ceivc how any member can vote against
it without Il palpable violation of duty.
