twill be seen the Republicans gain two
Congressman in Ohio. At the same time
there is an even chance that they may
lose two, in the 3rd and 4tL districts,
which are very close. II VIC lose both,
the delegation will stand just as in the
present House, and one better than il did
after the election in 1868; for then the
Democrats elected HoAGin in the 1Oli dis

Iu Pennsylvania tho Republicans have
sustained no loss as far us known. We
put down six districts as doubtful, be-
cause not heard from sufficiently to indl-
cate the result. Some of them, ii is be.
lieyed, will be close. Two of them, 10Th
and 12th), are now represented by Demo-
Gratis, and there is probability we
will gain a Congressman in each. The
18th we hear nothing about, bnt tho ina
jori,y two years ago was small The1eth,
(CEssXNs) 21sL (STEwART's) and cath,
(DoNLEY's) arc believed 70 be close The
probabilities are the latter is lost, We
ought not to lose moro than two out OF
the lour, and have fair chance TO gain
thsOth and 12thi which would be what
the lawyers call q set-ofE
j InaIndianR VIC have lost nothing
as YET shown, but We may lose a
couple of districts classed as doubtful.
II we lost: all the doubtful in the three
States there would be On enormous
Democratic gainu of but six in the ,elec'
tion Of sixty.one Congressman; ;jbut. we
Judge the chances arc about equally
balanced even in reference to these.
And now weawish to ask our Market
street neighbora scriou sQuestion: Is this
tic great reactiony uhaye been promising
so long Is this tho way the Radical party
is to be hurled from power and The coun-
try redeemed by THURMAN, DAVIS y Co :
Where are the Democratic victories SO
long promised? Where isyour arithme'

Don't you believe, after all, tho country
Is pretty well satisfied upon tho whole to
leave The powep ofthe government in tho
hands to which they arc now contidedF !
Don't you reallSc from these results, re.
peatcd from year to year so uniformly,
that the cool, sober Judgment ofthe peo-
pie is that for the present tho Dem
Ocratlc party cannot :bo' trusted; that tho
Republican management Of affairs Is salts
factory; and that as yet there IS no serious
or general desire to take the government
out Ol the hands Of those who defended
and preserved It against The Democratic
party in arms, and have since administer
ell its affairs with such signal ability
and success, and to put 1t into tue keep
Ing Ol this same party-the wolves whose
hunger is yet unuppcased and who can
not conceal their fangs long enough to
make anybody believe in tho harm
lessncsS Of their intentions Cannot
Tic Democratic leaders understand that
such a changers not going TO bc made
without good reason; and tho first thing
they must do to succeed Is to show that tho
government would be safer, better admin.
SterCd, and the rights Of oil tho citizens
better protected under their management
than at PRESENT. The idle and stupid
bowling about pretended wrongs
that do not exist has not deceived,
rs the recurring verdlcts Of the
people abundantly attest. When the
Democratic party can satisfy the peo'
pie that It can do better than the Republic
canparty Is doing, thenit viii certainly be
accorded IN opportunity to,do II; and II
ueVer can begin TO do this, tillit fist re-
moves every ground for the existing dis
trust Of its fidelity TO human rights as
established by the war and anchored In
the Constitution.
