THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS

The State elections in PennsyIyania and
ONO take place on Tuesday, October II. In
each State Governor is TO be chosen. In
pennsylvania John W. Geary, the present in
cumbent, Is candidate for Reelection, his
competitor being Asa Pao ker, the Democratic
candidate. The vote will probably be light as
compared with that Of last year, al which time
The State polled a larger vote than ever before.
Governor Geary was elected in 1856 by n ma
lOTi'y of 17,17S, in a total vote of $3.50. In
l-b1. at an election for Justice OF the Supreme
Court, the total vote was 53i,j75, and the ma
JOrIty for the Democratic candidate 9l7. At
The election for AudItOr-GeleraI, last October
The total vote reached the unprecadsntedIy
hlEh ngure of 6Jj,155 and the Republican
msJority was 9,6s7 Three weeks later, az the
Presidential election. there were poIlea 6Ij66!
votes, out of which Grant received a aJorIty
OF 2-.-9-.
Ii will thus be seen that the Democracy will
have to overcome an average Republican
maJOrIty of l3,7O4 At the last four elections.
In Ohio, George H. Pendleton, is the Demo.
cratic candidate for governor, in opposition TO
Governor Hays, the present incumbent. The
main interest IN the contest in Ohio. is from the
fact that MIR. Pendleton is regarded as the
originator and special advocate Of paving the
NATIONAL debt IN greenbacks, and, inasmuch as
he has revived this issue quite recentIv. his
election will be claimed as the Endorsement by
MS OWE State OF his pet theory. Two years
Sgo governor Hays was elected by q small
lnaJorliy of 9-">j, in total vote of 4-i227 List
Iall. al the State election, 5I6,J7U yotes vara
pOlled, OF which the Republican candidate for
Secretary Of State obtained majority of
and three weeks later Grant carried the State
by iO'6l7 majority, the total vote Of the state
being 5l9,>29. Comparing the votes at these
several elections, 1t is ascertained that the
average Republican majority was p, }2i, which
MI Pendleton has 10 overcome TO be the next
Governor of Ohio.
The result OF the fall elections thus far do not
Indicate sufficient Republican loss 70 give the
democrats great encouragement IN the October
elections.

The following incident will go to con firm
if confirmation is necessary, the GOODNESS and
fixed determination of Commodore Charles
Stewart, of the United States Navy: "During
the last war with Great Britain, when the
United States irigate Constitu, ion, then in his
command, was coming Into action with bis
Britannia Majesty's two ships OF war Cyane
and Levant, his first iieutel ant, the late Com
modore Ballard, approached him aud said,
'Sir, the vessels we are about to encounter arc
two frigates.' Captain Stewart replied,
Would to God there were three of them.
Give the ship all her canvas, that we may be
enabled to bring them to action before night
sets it, observing at the same time, i am OF
opinion these fellows have caught Tartar at
last, if they never caught one before The
result of the combat iuily justified him In his
opinions. After the action the two vanquish-
ed Captains, Douglas and Gordon, expressed
themselves in the bearing OF Capt lin stewart,
that If the encounter were t. take place
again, a different result might ensue. Captain
Stewart Immediately replied, 'GentlemsD, sIg-
nifty to me in writing your wishes on that
score, and l will, without one moments de-
lay, place you in command Of your ships again
and everything appertaiuing 10 thea, Is lar

PRESENTING A MINISTER TO PRESIDENT

PRESENTING MINISTER TO PRESIDENT
JACKSON. = According to Bailhe Peyton,
when Mr.. McLane was Secretary Of Stats, Q
new minister arrived from Lisbon, aud day
was appointed tor him to be presented to the
President The hour was set, and McLane
expected the minister to call at the State De-
partment; but the Portuguese bad misuDdsr-
stood Mr.. McLanes French, and he proceed
ed alone to the " hite House. He rang the
bell, and the door was opened by the Irish
porter, Jimmy O'Neil.
''Je suis venu voir Monsieur lie President"
said the minister.
"What the deuce does he mean p muttered
Jimmy. HE says President, though, aud
suppose he wants to see the General"
''Oui, oui," said the Portuguese, bowipg.
Jimmy ushered him into the greenro oom,
where the General was smoking bis corn-cob
pipe with great composure. The minister
made his bow to the President, and addressed
him in French, of which the General did not
understand word.
"What does the fellow say, Jimmyp said
he.
"DeJl knows, sir; reckon he's furriner."
"Try him in Irish, Jimmy" said Old Hick-
ory.
Jimmy gave him a touch Of the genuine
Mileslan, but the minister only shrugged bis
shoulders with the usual "Plait II 2"
"Och |" exclaimed Jimmy, she can't 20 the
Irish, sir. He's French, to be shurel"
"Send for the French cook, and let him try
if he can find out what the gentleman wants."
The cook was hurried IRON the kitchen,
sleeves rolled up, apron on, and carvipgkr life In
his hand. The minister seeing this lormida-
BILE apparition, and doubling he was In the
presence of the Head OF the Nation, feared
some treachery and made for the door, before
which Jimmy planted himself to keep him In.
| When the cook, by the Generals order,
asked who he was and what be wanted,
and he gave subdued answer, the Pres
ident discovered his character. At this
juncture McLane came in, and the minister
was presented in due form. 1t Is said General
Jackson always resented illusions TO this
incdent.-From "COurt Circles Of the Repub-
