THE ELECTION IN OHIo.-1he result in
Ohio is decidedly favorable to the Republi,
cans. Their majority is between 1900 and
$4,000. No Legislature or State officer was
chosen at this election. The Democrats
gain four members of Congress over the
present delegation elected two years ago, to
wit in the First, Ninth, Tenth, and Thir-
tcenth Districts General Scnenck is elected
over Valandigham, by 525 majority
Altogether the Republicans elect 10 mem beIs
Of Congress, and the Democrats 6.

THE ELECTION IN lNDGANA-The election
in this State was contested with great energy
and confidence in success by both parties.
The Democrats seemed as sure of il rs that
the sun should rise on election day. But
they were doomed 10 disappointment as in
the other three States voting on the same
'lay. Hendricks, who is United States
Senator, anl very strong man, is beaten by
Baker, Republican, by about 700 or 500 ma
jority. The Legislature is Republican in
both branches, with majority of 80 on joint
ballot, which will secure a Republican Uni
ted States Senator in the place Of Hendricks,
and which viii quite make up for the loss
of the Congressmen, us in this State.

Sociable persons always make acquain-
tances when travelling, and it was upon
this journey that fell in with the iuim-
liable Fitz Smith, whom l now number
in my list of friends. Fitz is something
of politician, and in spite of his intel
ligence and jovial good nature, he is
democrat. 1t is paradoxical, / know,
but Fitz Smith himself is phenomenon.
1t was he who, year or two since,
while actively canvassing in local cleo
ton in Maine, made an engagement to
speak at a mass meeting in Berwick, up
on certain evening, at which time he
expected to carry conviction to the souls
of the unterritifed. By blunder, per-
haps a malicious one, on the part of his
carriage driver, he was taken to Somers-
worth, Just over the borderin New Hamp-
shire, in which State there was to be no
election. Fitz Smith got out of the car
riage and walked briskly to the only
large building in the town, repeating the
thrilling portions of his speech to HIM
self as he went along. When he arrived
the room was full, and two or three men
we're upon the platform. Fitz walked
up the aisle, and, introducing himself,
said " Ny name is Fitz Smith. l have
come to address the meeting"
He was cordially welcomed, and he
took his seat. The audience was an un
commonly respectable one. and Mr.. Fit
thought they we're the cleanest and mos
centeel democrats he had ever seen. HI
began to have misgivings. These grew
to doubts, when one of the gentlemen ex
pressed desire to know if "Brothel
Fitz Smith would lead us in prayer"
OF course he wouldn't. He neve
heard of such proceeding at demo
cratic meeting. But he held his peace
and gave no expression to his astonish
ment, while another person proceeded
with the devotional exercise.
When he concluded Fitz was callec
upon for few remarks, and rising, h
e got rid of about one-third of one of tn
e most exciting democratic speeches eve
c spoken north of Texas, before he pei
$ ceived that the audience was strangel
n agitated. He was engaged in an elabc
: rate disquisition upon the curve in tn
, negro shinbone, when man stepped u
and said:
Excuse me, sir, but that is littl
e out of place here"
d Excuse me-" said Fitz, 81 guess

But you can't go ON, sir, we cannot
be disturbed in this outrageous manner.
Disturbed !" said Fitz Smith, dis.
turbed Why this is legitimate democrat
ic.doclrine. Let me alone, l havn't come
to the exciting part yet?" and Fitz be-
gan again.
Really, sir, you cannot proceed a
prayer meeting is no place for such dis
cussions."
Prayer meeting Good gracious you
don't mean to say this is prayer meet
ing, do you? Amt this Berwick, and
isn't this democratic mass meeting"
"No, sir; this is Somersworth, and I'm
the pastor of this flock.
Mr.. Fitz Smith went back to the hotel
sadly, with two-thirds of one of the best
speeches you ever heard lying like leat
upon his brain. The Maine election
went republican the next day, and Fit;
gave up politics in disgust.

AN INDEX TO GLORIOUS NATIONAL VIC
TORY.
The elections in the New England
States are sure indications of the result
in November. Whatever party increas-
es their vote in these States is certain of
victory in the Presidential contest. Lit
tie Vermont has opened the ball; Maine
will follow on the 14th of the present
month. Pennsylvania will follow, as
sure as the sun rises, on the second Tues
day of October next. Gems. Hartranft

creased majorities, and the republican
| majority in the Legislature will be great
er than it was last year. Mark our pre-

NIGHT AND THE TEMPEST CLOSING ROUND
THE REBELS.
We never distrusted the Green Noun
tain Boys. What lover of his country
could? Just six years ago, yesterday,
we looked into their faces on the bloody
field of Chantilly, and not man of
them quailed before that avalanche of
democracy sweeping to the charge under
the impetus given to it by Stonewall
jackson! Yesterday was the anniversa-
ry of that day of devotion to their coun-
try, and most gloriously have they cele-
brated it by reafirming at the ballot
box their undying hatred of treason and
rebellion, and of its aiders and abettors
everywhere. Enough said. Now for

SETTING OF THE TIDE.
Well, Vermont has been heard from
The great democratic reactionary wave
has dashed on its Mountain side, and re
cedes to swell the overwhelming republi
can tide. The lowest figures show an in
crease of 35 per cent on the republican
majority of last year The majority is
stated at from 81 900 f. 30 900. The
latter figure would be a gain of nearly
80 per cent on the majority of last year
which was 20,1S4. This gain indicates
that Grants majority will be 100 pei
cent over the majority of last year. The
drift of public opinion is decidedly re
publican. Now, BOYS, ROLL ON TIL

ecdote of President Lincoln:-
"Mr. Lincoln was eminently frank
man. He once rated me for a speech /

course, thought him too slow, and we had
pretty hot discussion. just about a

expulsion of some children of African
descent from district school into which
they had been admitted by New Hamp-

made by the Almighty in not making
niggers so that mixin with the superior

The star that never sets" is in its zenith
now. Vermont sent good troops and
many of them to the defence of the cause
of the Union. If we recollect Alright,
there was no draft in Vermont, and every
life she gave throughout the war was a
free gift to the nation. Yesterday she
testified that the old spirit still lives, and
that she recognizes in the present political
campaign only continuation of the old
struggle between right and wrong: be-
tween a united and devided national
ity. The Republicans can honestly con-
pratulate themselves on the result. In
the magnitude of the vote, and In the
proud significance it carries with it, the
Vermont election becomes memorable

of the year. No manner of excuse car
dwarf its importance. 1t gives the key
note of victory. Ne'cark (N J) Adrert''
