How THE REPUBLICANS SUCCEEDED II
OHIo.-From two Western papers we taxi
the following explanations in regard to the
great Republican victory in the Sth Ohio dis
trict. The Cleveland Leader, speaks OF Gen
Beatty's success thus:
FIRST Of all, the Republican, of the distric
generally, sinking all local claims and person
al interests, endeavored to select as their can
didate their best and most popular man. IL
choosing Gen. Beatty, they were influenced
bg the highest and worthiest motives thai
govern men. And then there was a mos!
commendable acqulescence in the nomination
on the part of all the gentleman whose names
mad been mentioned for the honor, and none
Isoored more zealously in the cause than Gen.
66satty most formidable competitors in The
convention. Success is due, also, to the fac
Ipat ses'y col.nty. torn and toleaship 0f the
bi"tT'ct 'rdS th0TOughiy md ststemdtic0iti
ofgahized. And so admirable was the organ
zatioii that a poll OF the vote OF the District,
some days prior To the election. made Beatty's
majority eight hundred. which is hut li;fle
nsdlaed BY The official result. In short. the
Republicans ielt fiat the eyes Of The Union
were upon them, for they were opening the
great campaign OF 1868. They fought as tue
soldiers, who realized the Importance OF gout-
ing the enemy in the fist onslaught
Tie following is from the Cincinnati Com-
merc;al:
Other things being equal, II very large ma
jorlty OF the people of Ohio prefer : Republi-
can to Democrat This is the lesson taught
by the Eighth Congressional District election.
Both candidates were citizens well esteemed.
Both had seen military service during the
war on the same side, and both were called
home by private business before the war was
over. Gen. Beatty served tor longer period
and with greater distinction than Col. Burns,
but this fact had no perceptible influence up
on the election. The only points about which
the candidates differed seriously were as to
the comparative responsibility OF the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties in bringing on
the war, and the political rights Of conquered
rebels. This was the whole dsbatable ground.
and it was untruitful Toe voters in the
Eighth District had, some time ago. settled
their convictions as to the origin of the war,
and, in the absence of well defined policy OF
reconstruction by Congress, Republicans could
hardly be expected, in their private capacity,
10 rush in and commit themselves.

ImprOccment.-Our attention was called
Il few days since, by one who has been ali
sent from the place for twelve or iifteel
years, to the great change that has beer
wrought in the appearance of the town by
the erection of new and costly buildings. -
The residents OF the town do not notice the
change-it is so gradual; but TO one who
has been absent for so long time, it is 81
striking he can scarcely realize it.
The Neto Church. great point of at
traction now is the new NJ. +. Church, which
begins to show what magnificent building
it will be when completed. The carpenters
are putting up the rafters and the mason.
are pushing on the work on the tower, anC
it is expected that the outside work of the
building will be pretty well finished by the
first of September. 1t will be an ornamen
to the town, of which any city might b'
proud, and monument to the liberality 0
the principal donor. Some scoundrel, re
CARELESS alike of the sanctity of religion o.
the decencies of common manhood, insti
gated byethe devil or whiskey, on Sunday
n ght last, mutilated the conversion of the
building. Such an outrage has no pallia
ton, and it is earnestly hoped some means
may be efiectual in bringing the pcrpetrato
to deserved punishment.
Contract Awarded.-The Town Commits
sioners have awarded the contract to re
build the engine-house and public schoo
room, to which also is to be added a third
story for masonic hall. By the plans and
drawings, the new building will far surpas:
in beauty the one destroyed by the fire las
winter. Mr.. A. II. Reynolds has beef
awarded the contract,-a sure guarantee tina
it will be finished in the best manner.
New Engine.-It is anxiously desired tina
our philosophical and liberal citizens will
have purchased, and have ready to place il

TmRAsnING WHEAT BY SrEAM.-Mr.
Elisha Brown, well known in this county
as an inventor and builder of agricultural
machines, gave us call, few days since,
on his way to Major John Jones, of Wheat
land, Delaware, for the purpose of examin-
ing and observing the operation of thrashing
wheat by steam power.
We have no doubt that thrashing by steam
will erelong supersede the irregular and
very unsatisfactory horse power.
Portable steam engin are now built on
wheels, by which they can be moved from
place to place with the facility and ease of
an ordinary horse power. An engine has
many advantages over horse power for
thrashing grain. 1t gives the thrasher a
steady, uniform rate of speed, which the
horse power will not. Every farmer knows
how essential it is to get the proper speed
on the thrasher and to retain it while the CD.
Grafton of feedlngis going on. Large guam
titles of grain are annually wasted by being
left in the straw, which will inevitably hap.
pen ii the thrasher does not run regularly
and if the speed is too high, great deal of
the grain is broken. The introduction of
the steam engine for thrashing and other
farm work will be a great economy over
horse power. The engine may be station.
ed sufficient distance from the barn to
guard against danger from fire, and the
thrasher be driven by long belt. Wehope
Mr.. Brown will introduce the steam engine.
He is the right man in the right place.
