Since the elections of last Tuesday,
we have been in the midst of cease
and day after day brought news OF Sill
greater and more substantial victory,
the interest has in proportion become
more intense, and the excitement over
Whelming. A fit climax for the g!or.
ious achievements was the taLkeo OF
nomination of better man Tor the
head of the Democratic ticket than
| Horatio Seymour. The Gazette and
CJnomerciaP8 bulletins were read with
| eaperness, that only ought to attach
itself to more worthy event in the
hope OF finding out to a certainty who
should be the adopted great captain in
| the Democratic ranks, who the noble
martyr in the cause of "equal taxation"
and "the Constitution as 1t was" The
uncertain news of yesterday was dealt
out with a most misery hand, spec:
ulation extended TO the most absurd
limits, and indeed the most skilled OF
the political prophets were unable 10

names of "Salmon P. Chase" for Pres

bulletins, at 8 o'clock Salmon p. and
John Quincy were still arraigned for

dates, the more creduleus still enter
tanned the idea that a change would
be made, and when the names
of johnson" and "Cary" and
HHancock" and Hendricks" and
others were posted up successfully as
being the chosen ofthe forlron hope, IL
was received with tolerable serious
ness, and the effect has been to weaken
the concentration that has been at
tempted to be made around Seymour,
in no slight degree, and has turned the
attention of every voter to the wiser
and better men in the ranks of the De-
mocracy. There is no standpoint from
which TO estimate the loss that the
Democrats have sustained, but certain
il is that it's loss they can i'll afford to
bear. In all departments of life, 1t Is
genuine American to make war against
the trite adage "let we'll enough alone"
and this time It's done at the sacrifice of
hundred thousand hopes, for If there
had existed a man a week ago who
would have candidly acknowledged his
belief that he would see the inaugura-
ton of Seymour next Spring as Presi-
dent, he will be as free to acknowledge
to day that his summer of political life
Is ended, and he joins in companion
ship with the BuChanans and the John
sons TO be noticed only, perhaps, by the
admirers of ancient ruins, one of the
nj
sistency.
We hope to hear a loud voice from
West Virginia in the coming election,
and that the entire Union Ticket may
be elected with an increased majority.
The stentoriun voices that have Just
Numbered SO loudly In the heart OF the
Republic ought to encourage deafen-
ing echo from the New State. New in
Its standing in the list of States, but
we trust old in the patriotism that
founded It.
Amidst the excitement incident to
such time as we are now Witnessing,
II Is hardly to be expected that the
usual amount of tact and talent is ex-
erted in our commercial circles, or that
any enterprise is not more or less af-
aicted by It. The political issues are SO
Important as to be all-absorbinR to
many classes of individuals whose at
tentions are ordinarily directed to other
channels, Notwithstanding more enter
prise is exhibited than might be expec-
led and the weight of these matters
seems to be little felt.
Many fine business houses have been
erected during the Summer and Fall,
part of them on West Fourth street
between Vine and Elm, which are not
to be excelled in massiveness of struc-
ture or elegance of architectural design
by any in the city, and the city displays
more beautiful and solidly construct
ed class of business houses than any
city in the country, excepting only
New York and Philadelphia. The
Commercial Hospital too has been in
course of erection through the Summer
and Fail, ana now approaches an early
completion. This building has not its
compeer in the United States as a hos
pital buildinga and is deserving ofspecial
mention. It occupies the entire, block
situated between 18th and Ann streets
and between Central Avenue and Plum
street, being in the most central Ioca-
ton In the city, on the line OF the Cen
trail Avenue street railway-one Of the
main railway lines, and easjly iacces-
sible from the East, West, North or
South of the city. 1t is built of brick
In modern style, comprising ALI the
advantages afforded by similar insti-
tutions in the country and many pecu-
liar to itself, and is constructed espe-
cially with view to perfect ventilation.
There are four wings built indepen-
IDENTIFY of one another, excepting SO far
as they constitute one front, and the
rooms in any part of the building are
but one depth, thereby affording the
efiuvia immediate escape without i'm
ORIGINATING series of rooms. The front
is on 18th street and the main entrance
will be when completed an adornment
worthy ofthe grandeur of the building.
have not heard the cost of the build
ing estimated, but 1t will reach pro-
baby seven hundred and fifty thous.
and dollars. WEDB,
