As We predicted in Tuesdays jour
NAL, the election in Ohio is very close,
and it may take The official returns to
decide who is elected Governor. The
Republicans were claiming yesterday
that Governor HAYES would have a
majority Of 1900, but this the Dsmo-
Gratis would rot concede. 1t seems
that the Legislature will be divided so
as to give The Republicans a majority
in the Senate aud the Democrats a
majority 10 the House. This will, in
al probability, result in a dead
lock on the question of redistricting
the State for Congressional purposes,
and on the Fifteenth Amendment.
la Pennsylvania, while the Rspub
lieans have lost largely 10 the west
ern partsof the State on account Of
dissensions, the Democracy seems to
have been equally unfortunate in Phil
ade,phia, AMI for o similar reaso !,
The Republicans have sweptthat city
carrying nearly every Ward They
have re- elected Gen. GEARY by from
5000 to 5000 majority, and secured

things considered, the Republican s
may congratulate themselves that it is
as we'll with them in these great States

NEW YoRR, October 13.-There Is
a steady improving feeling i'm Wall
Street circles. The last romnants Of
the outstanding contracts of the gold
panic are being cleared up, relieving
one cause Of the prevailing distrusf.
There appears good reason for hoping
that the complications at the Gold
Exchange Bank will be successfully
unraVelied before the close of the
week. Already the large amount of
funds held there, belonging TO Wm.
Heath d Co., has been released, and
the firm are now selling their con-
tracts on a basis Of l35, and the full!
difference in cash. Their proposal
has been accepted by all tho parties
interested except for merely yuomi-
nal amount, and $4,000 600 Of con
tracts will thus be disposed of.
The Like Shore Directors are still
In session, and nothing definite has
been diYulged in regard to their de-
liberations, although the street has
been treated to some lively rumOrs,
which caused heavy advance in tho
stock. The principal rumor is that
the board Of direction is to be remOd-
died so as to give Commodore Wander
bilt the controlling power Ia the man-
agement of the road it certainly
looks very much like a stock i0bbing
canard. A remarkable statement was
afoat to-day that the purchase of
Toledo and Wabash stock by the Lake
Shore Company, was ratified by eleven
of the directors on August 18, being
a unanimous vote of all presentat that
meeting 1t Is further stated that Lee
Grand Lockwood was called 10 New
York to attend this meeting, and that
everything was perfected when be
arrived. The statement that tho Erie
Railroad Company have leased the
Albany and Susquehanna Railroadfor
ninety-nine years appears premature.

RaIIroad MeeiIng at BoonrIIie.

Something tangible In the way of
railroads was agreed upon Thursday.
Messrs. Pierce and Frazier propose TO
the citizens of Ohio aud Anderson
Townships that if, in addition to the
two per cent. tax. as provided by law.
they will pay the road a bonus of
twenty-f FIVE thousand dollars in cash,
as soon as the first train of cars pass
over the road between this point and
BoOnville, eight or ten acres of land
In or adjoining the corporate limits of
the town for o depot, with certain
privileges of timber and certain
mining or mineral interests, they will
make Newburgh a terminus of a road
running from Chicago to the Ohio
River. MIR. Frazier Is understood to
be the representative of the capital of
the company known as the Indiana
Northern and Southern Railway Com
pany. The road will PASS through
our county in a southwesterly direc-
ton, entering near Lynnville, passing
through BoonYille, and thence 10 this
point.
They propose taking a lease on the
mineral lands, the terms of which will
pay some three or four hundred dol
lars per acre to the prOprietOrs of the
land by the time the coal is mined.
The object of the company in this, is
to stimulate the manufacture of such
goods as require coal In their produc-
tioD, and thus increase the business OF
the rOad.-NeaCburg Recorder.
By the above, it seems that DR.
PIERCE has concluded to leave Rock
port aud Cannelton out in the cold
and terminate his great Northern and
Southern Railroad at Newburg, JUS
twelve miles from Evansville. Wheth
er it is the Doctors intention tc
build up a rival city at that
point we cannot deter mine. L
is very evident that it will bt
impossible for a road, terminating a
that point, to be made pay runnin!
expenses. Possibly it is the intention
of TIE President of the road aforesaid
to run a main line down pretty vel
towards the river. and then have i
branch of IN three diTectiOns-one tC
New burgh, ore to RoekpOrt, and ont
to Cannelton. Let his intentions b
as they may, We hope he will be able
to farms. cur friends in Warricl
County with a good raFlroed. They
need one and ought to have it. L
DIR. PIERCE fails in his enterprise, oul
people will have to see what can bC
done with road to Mitchell, running
diagoually through Warrick ant
Spencer Counties. Some Of our best
posted railroad men have this projec
under consideration, aud will, IL
doubt, take steps to build such oad, i
the other projeets under consideration
come to naught.
