This was the thought that came up

the list of committees appointed In the

The Eighth Distist--Hcpubiicsn Victory
From he ognctnnoti Gazette, Tlesscy.
The special election in the Eighth
Congressional District, yesterday, result
ed In > very decided and gratifying Re-
publican victory, The vote for Cover
nor in. October was close, the RepublicaA
majority In the counties composing the
District being only 247. Yesterday there
was Republican gain on the October
vote in every County, and Gen. Beatty
was elected by majority of 1000. The
Democrats attached great Importance to
this contest, and confidently expected to
elect their candidate, Mr. Burns. The
Republicans also regarded ~ as a very
important election. Both parties, there
fore, worked hard, and each were led by
| representative men. aaifnS t.. aue
b. This election shows that the reaction
against the Democracy has aready set in
in Ohio. AS 1t was in 1852, SO it is in
1868. The Democrats carried Ohio that
pear, by false pretenses.i The election
over, the cloven foot was exhibited, and
in 1868 John Brough was elected Gov
ernor byoverr 100. 900 majority. Already
in 1868 the Democrats, encouraged by
the fall elections, have indicated what
they would do If restored to power, and
already cave the people taken the alarm
= and are prepared to- give the party that
sustained the rebellion, and would now
J. restore rebels to power, back seat once
more, This specialization is, therefore
one of great Significance 1t fairly fore
shadows the vote of November, and In
sures sweeping majority forthe Repub
lican candidate for the Presidency. .t.
. IT will have agood effect, too, in hast
p ening reconstruction, by convincing the
> disloyal people of the South that th'
Democratic party Of the North will no
be able to carry them into power; while
it will encourage the loyal people of thu
suspended States to persevere in th'
work of reconstruction. In another re
spect the election will do good. 1t will
serve as an intimation TO the Presiden
that his policy is not popular in Ohio.

IT Is discovered that the grandfather
Of the Hon. George III. Pendleton was q
tanner, while General Grant Is not only
the son of one tanner and the brother
of another, but has been In the leather
trade himself, and was dealing In the
products OF the tan yard Mt Gal ena whom
the war broke out and he was called TO
another sphere Of usefulness. But 1T
may even be said that he continued in
the same business all through the rebel
lion, for he gave a thorough currying and
dressing to BeauregaTd at Shilo, to Pen
dleton at Vicksburg to Bragg at Chat
tanooga, and to Lee at Petersburg and
Five Forks. 1t would be rather curious
ifthese two defendants oftanners should
be rival candidates for the Presidency
next autumn. But we warn Mr.. PEN
dleton that in that event all the expe-
risnce of his grandfather will not save
him from the most complete tanning
that ever politician had to undergo.
