ENTIRELY FAIsE.-We are authorized by
the Judges of Election in the Ninth Ward
to say that the report IN the journal as to
the refusal of Republican votes at that
polls is entirely and unqualifedly false.
No legal vote was refused. nor was any
Republican driven from the polls. Mr..
Loughborough staid there all day and was
unmolested. There was but one skirmish
there during the day, and that was in the
street, away from the polls. 1t is not the
first time in the history of Columbus that
there have been fights at the polls, but it is
the first time such a fuss was made about
it. Why is it done now? Why, that riot
may be got up and the Democracy be de-
prived of their usual majority in the city
because OF it. 1t is a way of electioneering
that may be of advantage to the Journal
and its friends in political point of view,
but pecuniarily they will find it won't
paw.

} FREIGHT TRAIN SMAsHED.-A smash-up
of a freight train on the Pan Handle road,
eight miles west of Newark, detained the
noon trains on the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati
& st. Louis railroad, and those of the Gen.
tral Ohio, until P. M. The road owned
by the Central Ohio, between Columbus
and Newark, is used in common by both
companies. 1t seems that bull which has
made demonstrations against the trains for
some days, on yesterday, his patience be-
ing exhausted, determined to contest their
right to run through his pasture. The re-
suit was, the throwing several of the cars
of the freight train bound east from the
track and making them complete wreck
The bull, however, paid dearly for his fun.
Both legs were cut off by the collision and
nearly every bone in bis body was broken.
He had no time to realize his situation be-
fore he was knocked into rs dead an animal
as butcher ever made.
