York. Not long ago there was an Owl-train y
running about that hour as far as Philadelphia,
but the only service it performed beyond carry
ing now and then some top-heavy passenger,
who had missed the night express, was to haul
the delayed freight of the monopoly. On
these trains they carried carpet-bag mail
without charge; but since the freigbting bust
ness does not pay the Company for running the
"owl,' they have got up scheme to exc out
their expenses by raid upon the United States
Treasury. Their project is all humbug. If the
Government is especially anxious to do a good
service for the people. let it use its influence
to set up fast trains leaving New-York. Wash

We have been watching for some days the
wanderings of table made up from The
TRIBUNE ALMANAC protesting TO give the re-
suits in all the loyal States holding general
elections in 1867, the ostensible purpose being
to show that Congress does not represent the
people. That table, at last turns up in The
World, and now since it is SO near to our
doors, we propose to show that it is made
Intentionally false, or doctored" so as to
show the very opposite of the truth. The man
who first made it up was knavc, and those
who copy and ndorse it are entitled to fair
share of the credit. Here is the table as it
appears in The World

The National Lincoln Monument Association
have published a history of their past opera
tions. from which we learn that the cash con-
tributions for the patriotic purpose which they
were organized to promote amount to SS4,Ooo,
which sum is now invested in Government
bonds. The Legislature of Illinois has also ap-
propriated $4,000, which is not to be paid
over until the money now in the hands of the
Association has been exhausted. The City of
Springfield. Ill.,, has granted free title to
site for the proposed monument in Oak Ridge
Cemetery, where the remains of Abraham Lin
coin now rest in a temporary vault No plan
has vet been fixed upon, the time for receiving
proposals and designs extending to the 14th of
April next The estimated cost of the monu-
ment is S200,O0O, and the association therefore
need about $4,000 more. To raise this sum
they appeal especially to women, to Sunday
Schools, to the public schools, to soldiers and
sailors, the freedmen, and various religious
benevolent and other organizations throughout
the country Contributions may be sent TO the
Hon. James II. Beycridge, Treasurer, at Spring

A bill is before the State Senate for the sale
of our miserable old sheds, known by courtesy
as City Markets. Without particularly Inquir-
ing into the bills provisions, we hasten to ap-
proye the idea of breaking up at once and for
ever these dsgraceful old rookeries. There IS
10 good reason why the traditional market
system should be kept up. We have long ago
practically abandoned it and now, since the
old time monopoly is no more, and the land,
at present deflcd by such offensive heaps OF
decaying lumber and vegetable and animal
ofial as Fulton and Washington :" Markets Is
worth mint of money for wholesale trade,
we say let the rookeries be sold at open and
fair auction to the highest bidder Tear down
the sheds, and clear the way to the rivers.
Let the marketing business go up town, where
its customers went years ago.

The World says that Gen. John Beatty, just
chosen to Congress from Ohio is on the Pendle-
ton platform of paying off the National Debt
in Greenbacks. If so, then he must have been
chosen on the Reconstruction issue pure and
simple: : since the Greenback or Debt issue can
have had no influence, one way or the other
But, while we regret to hear that any Re-
publican proposes to cheat the Nations cred
itors, we do not believe Gen. Beatty goes the
full length of Pendleton, who proposes an issue
of Two Billions of Greenbacks. and the pay

We believe one of the Pcndleton maXims is

the bond -barons, or holders of United States
securities. Alas how few doctors take their
own medicine. George Ii. PendletOn figures,
among many other leading Democrats. in the

Does the "equal taxation" plank of the Ohio

Thereupon The World proceeds to greye in
this way:
These 157G507 Democrats represented IN the United

sentatives by 3 while the 55oy Radicals have ninety
Senators, and Oi members OF The House liaN whom

GEN Grant moreover hos put himself On record "a be
evug that the will OF the people the law OF the land"

Now, how does the reader suppose The World
makes out the 2l,J62 Democratic majority
given aboye' Why, by putting in Democratic
Ncw-Jcrsey, in which no general election was
held, and by leaving out Republican Tennessee
in which there was q very animated canvass for
Governor. Rectifyug these mistakes the

REACTION!!
Hurrah for Grant !!

The election in New Hampshire last
Tuesday resulted in a glorious victory
for the Republicans. Gov. Hartman
was reelected by about 5000 majority,
substantial increase over last year, the
vote being the fullest ever polled in
the State. The Legislature is also
largely Republican. The Democracy
confidently expected to carry New
Hampshire, but they have been over
whelmed in defeat. This is the second
Republican Gun that has doomed since
the reverses to the Union party last
fall; the Eigth District in Ohio first
awoke the echoes with very loud re-
port of Union gains; now whole bat
terry in New Hampshire fires a broad
side into the Democratic ranks. Re
publicaDs be up and dOingl The dis
asters of last fall will be retrieved. The
future is bright with Republican sue
cesses. Gen. Grant viii be triumphant
ly elected President, and the wave OF
victory will sweep over the land firmly
re-establishing in power the great
Union party-the party Of Law and
order, of patriotism, and human lights.

ANDY JOHNSON.

ED1roRs JouRNAL:--This notorious indi-
vidual was reared into political life by the
Democratic party. When lie arrived at some
prominence, he assumed the right of think
ing for the party. This created jealousy
Soon the leaders of the party were arrayed
against him and he was kicked out; he then
repudiated Democratic doctrines. Parson
Brownlow introduced him to the Republican
party, and through his instrumentality, he
was nominated and elected Vice President Of
the u s., since then he has quarrelled with
Brownlow, his best friend; quarrelled with
the leaders of the Union party; quarrelled
with Congress, Gen. Grant and Stanton
and it is sid he quarrels with his servants
and bar tenders. When the last Stupbar
quarrel comes off, it is reasonable TO sup
pose none but Morrissy and roughs of the
d smocracy can witness i'll Congress has
this distinguished wild boar of the nation

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
The state Ticket.

The Republican State Convention
last week nominated ticket which
meets with the unqualified endorsement
ofall Union men. Personally as well as
politically the candidates are strong
men. With Gen. /. r Sherwood, our
candidate for Secretary of State, we are
well acquainted, and know him tc be
well fitted every way for that post. He
is now editor of the Byran TO- Press,
staunch Republican journal The
Toledo Commercial says of him, and
We heartily endorse it: "a young man
of irreproachsble character and upright
life-a soldier Of true patriotism and
courage, supporter of freedom and
LOYALTY without question, and an earnest
aud devoted friend to the principles and
policy of the party-he combines in
more than an ordinary degree the quail
ties of an acceptable candidate, and his
many friends in Northwestern Ohio will
rejoice in the privilege of contributing
to his success"
Judge VIM. White, who received
the honor of denomination to the Of
flee of Supreme Judge, is conceded
to be one of the ablest lawyers in Ohio,
and by a service Of five years on the
Supreme bench has proven himself one
of the best read, fairest, and most skill
full judges who have ever graced our
courts.
Captain Nevins was re-nominated for
School Commissioner, Captain Foos for
Clerk of the Supreme Court, and Col.
James Moore for Member of the Board
of Public Works-the two first by ac-
clamation, the last by decided ma
jority. The nominations testify elo-
quently to the ability and fidelity with
which these gentlemen have filled their
offices.
