Murder in Cleveland.

The Cleveland papers OF Monday son.
tain an account Of a startling murder
which occurred on the west side, about
O'Clock, Saturday morning last. DR.. J.
r. Gelsntine, a dentist, shot and MORALLY
wounded DR.. W. II. Jones. The two
men have for several months occupied
rooms in the same house, and had APP
parently always been on friendly terms.
Atter his usual morning toilet DR.. Jones
stepped from his room to the hall, and
in about five minutes a relative Of the
Dr's. who had been visiting him a few
days, heard the report OF a pistol, and
Immediately the Dr.. opened the door,
when it was discovered a pistol ball had
entered his right breast, causing his death
in five minutes. A gentleman who had
been attracted to the house by the report
Of the pistol, met Or. Gelantine coming
down stairs. He was excited, and re-
peated the remark that he had shot Dr..
Jones. He Wa arrested, but said he
intended to give himself up. He AYERS
that he shot Jones for seducing his wife.
The Leader says that public sentiment is
much against Gelantine, and that he is
regarded as a murderer. IfMrs. Gelan-
tines account OF Jones' conduct is true,
he was a great villain, and she a very
weak woman.

The Elections!
STATE ELECTION RETURNS.
Republicans Everywhere Victorious !

ANNAg hutEt :
The returns from the elections held
yesterday in Ohio, Pennsylvania, In
diana and Iowa, show that each of
these great States have given large
Republican majorities. Ohio is esti-
mated at at least fifteen thousand ma
jority for the Republican State ticket.
and gain of one member Of Congress
Foster, 9Th district, and probably
another, Perry, in the lst district
ScneRck's election is reported donbt-
full, and is very close. We have prob
ably elected fifteen out of nineteen
Congressman, which is a gain of enc
certain. Shellabarger, in the Frank
lin district, is said to be certainly
elected.
Glorious Iowa gives thirty thousand
Republican majority.
Returns from Pennsylvania report
that the Republicans will hold their
Congressional delegation and carry
the State by an increased majority.
For these victories in Ohio, Penn
sylvania and Indiana, the Republican
party is indebted to the men enfran-
chised by the Fifteenth Amendment.
The interest felt by this class to eXer-
else their new privilege, made up in a
measure for the great apathy among
Republicans, and aided materially in
saving US from defeat.

TRUMBULL COUNTY RETURNS.

Returns Of the elections held yester-
day come in very tsrdily, and indicate
that the vote. in this county was nusu
ally light. The Republican majority in
the county will be about two thousand
On the State ticket
The Prohibition ticket appears to haYe
polled a trifiing vote, not exceeding $50
in the county. Of course these came
almost 70 a man from the Republican
side, and accounts, in some measure, for
our reduced majorities in most OF the
townships.
1t is thought judging by the vote thus
far reported, that there will be a decided
majority in favor Of tax for a new Jail.

October 3:
The Socialists opposition is stiu at

demand cOnhscatiOn of property of all
who left Paris for the benefit of the
national defenders and sequestration of
the property of all ~accOmplices in Bona

been weak enough to yield in some
points to these men. They also demand
the destruction of the Column Vendome
and all monuments pertaining to Bona
parts. The question of food begins to
be serious, and food riots are feared.
Already club men are urging people on,
saying he provisions belong to the peO-

them. Five thousand beeves and four
thousand sheep are killed daily, which

There is a report that Bazaine is deter
mined to support the Imperial cause.
With that view he has offered to surren-
der Metz. He has bound himself and
his army not to fight against Germany
If allowed to march out With all thonors
Of war; and with a further proposal,
that he should, If liberated on those con-
ditions, assist in putting down the re-
public and reestablish Emperor NapO-
leon. This proposition was declined by
Bismarck, and in his refusal he states
he is not satisfied Of the integrity Of his
officers and soldiers, and believes the
army would not generally yield an ODE
dienee to this intrigue. This report has
gained considerable credence since the
King OF Prussia permitted General Ber-
baki to pass through the Prussian lines.

These hgures disclose some Significant
facts. It will be seen that in the admin
~istration Of General Jackson there was a
persistent reduction in the public debt,
which finds a parallel in the administra-
ton Of General Grant. Another note
worthy fact is that in time of peace, dur
ing one Democratic administration, and
that their last, the public debt vas in
creased sixty million dollars. Under
the present administration the reduction
from March l, 1869 TO September l, 1870,
reaches the grand total of SI89, 542, 100.
The annual saving Of interest on the
debt already %liquidated is about SS,745,-

The Public Debt...Past and Present,

One Of the issues clearly involved in
the impending campaign, and quite as
important IS any that will be brought
forward for discussion, is that of the
public debt. It is already evident that
the Democratic party will expend their
chief force upon it. and by mixing fig

the real situation and falsify the actual
record. Aninteresting official statement
has just been prepared at Washington,
showing the rise, progress and variation
Of our public debt since the close of the
Revolutionary war.

Shut Him Out, and Shut Him Up,

Whittemore's effrontery is duly appreciat-
ed by the Northern Radicals. The New York
Times (Republican) has come to the con-
clusion that the only way to shut him out OF
Congress is to shut him up in prison. 1t
says (:
'We have seldom encountered an exhlbi-
ton Of greater impudence than that which
has recently been made By e1-Congressman
Whittemore. From first to last he has never
had the faintest idea that he had committed
any offence either against law or propriety in
selling the West Point cadetship. After being
twice elected from his seat in Congress, he
now very coolly proposes to seek another cleo
ton, with view to becoming member of
the Forty-second Congress. Fortunately, the
law provides that, upon conviction for the Of
fence, which he admits he has committed, the
offender shall be disqualified from holding any
Federal Office. besides being subject to other
penalties. II Whittemore is not satisfied with
the punishment he has already received, by
all means let him have the whole-6ne. i'm
prisonment, and all-and let him be thus
etfectually shut out from Congress-
