Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, which
take place on the 18th of October. Nebraska
has hers week earlier-O October 9Th. Ohio is
claimed for the Republican candidates by o
large majority, blt strong effort is being
made by the Democrats to hold the State, and
they are hopeful Of carrying it for Seymour
and Blair. Pennsylvania, too, is claimed by
both parties, aud both are exerting themselves
to the utmost, for, as usual, tho Keyston
State will have an important influence In deter
mining who shall b, the next President. Th g
Republicans confidence Of success in that State
is based upon the results of the October elec-
tlons in 1866 and 1867, the figures Of which
stood as follows:
1866-Republican vote for Governor, 9O7,274;
Democratic vote, 290. .096; total vote cast, 597,
$40; Republican majority, 17,17o. 1867 Re-
publican vote, Supreme Judge, 266,S24; Demo-
cratic vote, 267,74S, total vote cast, 5S4,572
Democratic majority, $40.
The Republicans say if there had been q full
vote cast in 1867 this result might have been
regarded as decided political reaction in
favor of the Democracy, but that tho aggre-
gate vote Of the two years, when placed side
by side, show that nearly $1,000 more votes
we're polled in 1865 than in 1867. The Demo :
cratic vote cast in 1867 was "a 600 less than the
same party cast in 1866, and the Republican
vote was 10000 less. II these 10000 Republ-
cans vote in October the same as they did in
1866, and the $4,000 Democrats vote the Demo
cratic ticket, there will be Republican major
ity Of 2O. 900; but the Democrats claim to have
made gains since 1866, which will more than
overcome this majority.
In Indiana the canvass is being conducted
by both parties with great energy, but if the
Democrats carry that State in October it must
be by a reaction in their favor as the State has
been consistently Republican since 1861. The
following were the majorities: 1861, for L in
coin, majority 5s1S; 1864, for Governor Nor ton,
majority 20.8S3; 1864 for Lincoln, ma jority
O,169; 1866, for Secretary of State, Fowler,
majority 1902. There was no election In
1867
HOW GEORGIA WAS SNUBBED At WASHINGTON
BRACE OF DISAPPOINTED SENATORS.
timore Gazette, says:
The most disappointed of oil the distinguish
ed gentlemen who appeared Ut tho National
Capital yesterday were the Georgia senators,
Messrs. Hill and ilIl or. These gentlemen had
confidently anticipated making their debut on
q senatorial theatre, and drawing" lots OF pay
for services never rendered. Nevertheless,
they experienced the truth of the old adage,
there's many slip between the cup and the
Ip," and we're politely left out in the cold. 1t
is barely possible that Mr.. Hill would have been
admitted to seat if his colleague, MIR. Miller,
had not also been in attendance; but an at
tempt to have the latter sworn in would have
resulted in suspending the credentials of both.
There was also a strong opposition to
Georgia being allowed any representation
in Congress, growing out Of the action Of
her Legislature in unseating the colored men,
bers. Several of the Radical senators, who
favor Congress taking the whole suiect into
their own hands, deny that these senators
we're constitutonally elected if the negro men,
bers OF the Legislature were not eligible to
Office. II eligible, then they charge that Geor.
gia has violated the Reconstruction acts and
the terms on which she was admitted as a
State. Mr.. Hill urged that the senators from
Georgia should be admitted, that there might
be parties properly interested in having a
thorough investigation made. II any irregu-
Georgia as one ofthe States OF the Union. Mr..
Hill claimed that it was due Georgia to have
at least one representative on the floor, to see
that the subject was fully and fairly invesu-
gated. But his appeals were IN vain, and re-
constructed Georgia found tho Senatorial
doors still closed against her, and her senators
leave this evening for their Southern homes.
