COUNTY REPUBLICAR TICKET.

THE real political Significance OF the
late election Is not in the general re-
suit, but in the increasing Democratic
strength shown in the vote. The re-
turns prove large Democratic gains
Register.
Is 1t not singular then, that Penn
sylvania, which went Democratic last
year by thousand majority, now goes
Radical by ten thousand, and that
Ohio which went Republican last year
by less than three thousand now goes
Republican by from sixteen to eighteen
thousand; and that little Nebraska has
added nearly thirty per cent to her Re-
publican majority of two years ago ?
1t would seem there has been trifling
increase in the Republican strength
also. Is there no real political signifi
cance" in that? Well, If not wo are
very willing to let the ''increasinG DEM
ocratic strength" have the "slgnifi
cence" so long as itallows as the "gen-
erat result" The health OF party de.
pends on the general result after all.
These "large Democratic gains" have
been going on now ever since 1862 and
yet we are beating them worse in the
"general resulp this year than they
have ever been beaten before.

1umors of the Campaign.

We don't know when we have seen a
finer bit of humor than the following
which we ind in yesterdays Register.
The editor of that paper is not only a
philosopher but a wag;
a GREAT HUMBUG.-The Radical talk
of change of Democratic candidates
upon the National ticket is sheer hum
buggery. No such movement has been
contemplated, nor is any such move
ment necessary. A consciousness that
Seymour and Blair are vastly stronger
than were the Democratic local tickets
in Pennsylvania, has caused the Radi-
Gals to dignity baseless rumors as actual
facts, to assert the withdrawal of Sey-
mour and Blair, and to try and produce
the Impression that the Democratic
leaders have given up the fight. This
is characteristic Radical trlckery.
. sThe conclusion is irresistible that
Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as In
diana, will 60 for Seymour and Blair
should the gains between now and No
vember be in proportion to what they
have been oTlate. Twas not until very
recently that the canvass was actively
entered upon, and we see what has al
ready been accomplished. .-.

The Rise In Governments.

The dealings in government bonds
continue large and attended with con-
siderable excitement. The market is
strong and buoyant under an extensive
investment demand large purchases
are also being made on speculative ac-
count In the belief that prices will rule
much higher between this and the close
OF the year. AS compared with the
quotations ofyesterday morning, prices
show an Improvement on the entire list
of u to per cent. The favorable polIt-
ical Indications, which have stimulated
the advance in government bonds, have
also exacted a marked influence on the
prices of Bordsr-State securities. The
greatest rise has been in Tennessee
bonds, which sold at the first board as
high as 20. In addition to political
considerations these bonds are favora-
bly, affected by the probability that the
Legislature will in November authorize
the sale or the defauIIng railroads in
that State. AS was the case in Missouri,
the purchasers OF these roads will be
obliged to pay for them in the bonds OF
the State. With this action of the Leg.
islature the State debt will be reduced
from eight to ten millions, and the cred
1t of the State accordingly improved.

Frank Blair's letter to his friend Col.
Broadhead gained for him the title of
Revolutionist, and the nomination for
Vice President at the hands OF the De-
mocracy. But these, it seems, do not
satisfy Franks ambition, for he aspires
to greater fame as the assassin of Grant.
In his st. Louis speech, on Friday even
ing, he spoke as follows :: -
SThe point to whichI desire to bring
YOU is this: That in this struggle we
have everything at stake; that 1t is the
final and last struggle for the preserva-

THE WITHDRAWAL OF SEYMOUR.
Democratic wrath has waxed hot to-
day against all who started the idea OF
abandoning Seymour and Blair, and
the FEELING Is almost universal that 1t
Will fall. Dispatches have been re-
esived from leading Democrats all over
me country denouncing the move,
while comparativelys few have en-
dorsed it. The InteLLigencer this morn
ing is non.committai on the subject.
but the organ of the Blairs and of the
Democratic Committee is more fierce in
It's opposition than 1t was yesterday.
me Baltimore Sun, an old established
conservative organ, says 1t Is wild
proposition, and too absurd to be con-
sldered. The Baltimore Gazette, a pa
per OF far less influence, urges change.
1any OF those who through the early
part OF the day were bitterly denoun-
cling the idea of changing the ticket,
have been abusing Frank Blair sound
~ on account of a special to the even
ing papers, which represents him as
saying last night in a speech at st.
Louis, saying that in case Grant is
elected, he will never leave the Presi-
DENTAL mansion alive. The feeling
among Franks friends here is that 1t
showed a total want of discretion to use.
such language at any time, and that
Just noWi tt was worthy of an idiot.
DESTRUCTION OF ARKANaAs ARMS.
Gov. Clayton, of ofArkansas, yesterday
telegraphed the Secretary of War as
follows concerning the capture and
destruction of State arms:
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. II.
J. N. Sehofeld, Secretary of Var:
were destroyed by an armed band of
men in the Mississippi river, The boats
were captured and the arms thrown
overheard. Much excitement exists
here. From facts in my possession, 1
am satisfied that armed resistance to
laws is contemplated, in which event
the United States forces here would be
entirely inadequate to preserve order.
[Slgned1 POWELL CLAYTON,
Governor of Arkansas.
This dispatch was at once transmitted
to the President by Secretary Sohofeld,
and 1t is supposed that prompt action
will be taken as in the case of previous
applications from Southern authorities.
The arms which were on their way to
Arkansas, were purchased by Senator
Mcdonald, as agent of the State.
The Government records show that
the whole amount expended in the
Southern States for pay of troops sta
toned there-their subsistence and sup
plies of all kinds on account of the
Freedmen's Bureau and for recon-
struction expenses during the fiscal
year ending June SO-is between nine.
teen and twenty thousand dollars. It
should be remembered that regiments
stationed In the South cost in reality less
than they do in the West. and that the
expenses of ofregistration, elections, etc.,
were incurred by the General Govern
ment owing to the fact that the impov-
erlshed condition of the South rendered
it impossible to levy and collect taxes
for that purpose.

His Views of the south as Ftltered

Ne Declares the Democracy have

In conversation with John Quincy
said the Southern people were as loyal
as any people in the North, The two
races he found friendly toward each
other, and the negroes were peaceable
in all cases. except when they were in
cited or influenced by carpet-baggers.
Nothing was calculated to do greater
harm than the disfranchisement OF the
he had any idea, and II the people of
the North coulo see the condition OF the
South as he had, reconstruction would
soon go to the wall. The negro now
ruled the South despotically, but that
could not last, for when the people
were properly appealed to on that
question the north would never sub.
NIT that ten of our best States should
be governed by an ignorant and semi
barbarous race. On the subject of the
Presidency, he said it was now too late
to change the candidates. The election
of Gen. Grnnt was inevitable, and such
q movement would materially damage
the interests of the Democracy. He
never believed that Mr.. Chase could
have carried the day against Grant and
Colfax, and not now-nor was there he
placed in the field, even If time were
offered, he condemned the platform
of the Democracy more then the
candidates, and thought the only
issue on which they should have
gone before the people was recon-
struction. He considered II very un-
fortunate that such men as Wade
Hampton, Forrest, and men like them
ever participated in the campaign.
From the administration of Gem Grant
he had the best hopes that peace would
be restored and the question OF negro
domination and consequent ruin In the
South be speedily disposed of. Ere
long we would be living under the Con-
stitution us 1t was, As regards his own
chances as to the GovernoTship of Mass
achusetts, he said his nomination was
more of a compliment to him than any
thing else; he had no idea OF being
elected. e.cr1t,-a
