The results Of Mondays election,
wherever a square fight was made, are
more than usually favorable to the Re
publicans, and afford encouraging aug
ury Of Republican triumph in autumn.
In Cleveland, where a Democratic Mayor
has within a few years been twice elected.
the Republicans have secured a majori-
ty of two in the City Council, and one
of eleven hundred on the city ticket In
the overwhelmingly Democratic city Of
Columbus the Independent Ticket has
thoroughly beaten the regular Demo
cratic nominations, and the Republicans
have elected six out of nine members Of
the Council, and will now have major
ity of four in that body. In Cincinnati.
which last fall gave large majority for
Pendleton, the entire Republican city
ticket is elected. The Board of Alder
men will contain fifteen Republicans to
eight Democrats, and the Board of Ed
ucation, notwithstanding a square fight
was made on the issue Of excluding the
Bible from the public schools, will con-
tain majority in favor of the retention
of the Bible
In some parts of the State, as at Cir
cleville and Bucyrus, the Democratic
trustees, in open defiance of the law and
as a last indulgence of baffled hate, re-
jected the ballots of colored voters,
thereby putting under their feet the Con
stitution of the United States, that long
time object of Democratic vcneration.
But as a general thing our newly made
citizens voted without molestation OF
other hindrance than the opportunities
and solicitations of Democratic candi-
dates. In this place they, with very few
exceptions, gave their support to the
regular Republican nominees, and had
the issue been a square and clearly de
fined one between parties their vote
would have been all but unanimous fol
the Republican side. The sobriety, gooc
order and good sense with which they
conducted themselves in the exciting
and complicated contest of Monday vii
rebound lastingly to their credit, anc
shows the Republican party and tn,
country at large is not likely to have
any just occasion to regret their Undue
ton into the privileges and responsible
ties of citizenship.

OLIVE GREEN. April I, 1870.
Eds. Gazette Letters from different
parts Of the county which we read in
your valuable paper are very interesting,
and shall therefore indite a few lines
from our village, believing it should be
represented in the current history of the
county.
Olive Green is I23 miles distant in an
air line from Delaware, and has about
100 people. We have two churches
Methodist and egationaI-both in
a fourishing condition; two good stores,
and a number of mechanics.
We are putting forth every effort to
raise our part of the stock necessary to
secure the building of the Cleveland,
Mt. Vernon and Delaware Railroad,
which will pass through our town. It
will be a joyful day for the people of
Olive Green and vicinity when they
shall hear the whistle of the locomotive
which is destined to whirl the first train
of cars through our town from Mt. Yer
non to Delaware. May the time be
hastened.
Believing the railroad is sure to be
built, we will suggest that now is the

Eds. Gazette II have been amused

izing in the scarcity of news the embar-
rassment of your Harlem correspondent
who felt himself called upon to lament
the absence of a grocery.
In the extreme southern part of our
township, a house bearing the title of
Powell Post Office, answers the double
purpose of a Post Office and dry goods
store, and this is the nearest approach to
a village in the township. In this town
ship the quiet is never broken by the
roar of the railway train, and the ground
hog IS at liberty to make his barometric-
al observations without fear of ridicule.
Thus dwelling, as we do, in comparative
seolusion, it IS not strange that your in
terestlng paper, which IN all places is
eagerly looked for, should be doubly
welcome here,

IF the protective principle is correct
and statesmanlilze, it will stand the test
Of change of circumstance. We ehold that
the proper object of a tariff is the collec-
ton of revenue. When we require a large
revenue, we must levy a heavy tariff !;
when there is no debt and the expenses
of government are mere nominal the
duties may be taken off in proportion.
The protective tariff man holds that the
proper object of tariff is the protection
of manufacturers and other Interests. In
order to be consistent, we must levy as
heavy tariff on all articles produced in
this country when we require little reve-
nue., as when we require much. Ifit re-
quire no revenue at all, the pig iron in
fant must be fed and hair-pins protected
all the same. And when that blessed dav
shall arrive when no more revenue is
needed from the tariff, we can 90 on
collecting all the same, and the money
can be distributed to the heathen-or to
some interest not yet sufficiently protect
ed by the tariff. No doubt the iron men.
or the wool-manufa6turers, or the Hon.
Dennis McCarthy's salt works, could be
inducedto take it.-OAto STATE journal.
