COLUMBUS, Nov. 3.-The Liberal canvass in
Ohio Is now closed and there very general belief on
our side that Greeley and Brown VIII carry the State.
Le voters who absent from the polls on the 9Th Of
October have been personally and reasoned With
and almost without exception they promise tO vote
Tuesday. The Republicans who voted the Grant State
ticket in October but will vote FOR Greeley and Brown
are more numerous than any estimate the Liberals have
made. II indications mean anything, and assurances
are OF any worth the hopes OF the friends OF Reform VIII
DO realized on Tuesday.
The Liberal voting forces are far better organized all
che than before and the confidence that has
been inspired In the Liberal ranks during the last two
weeks 20 have given them tnylnclDe strength.
The safest and best Liberal political caculaOrs believe
that the Democratic and Liberal Republican vote will DO
sufficiently increased % give them the State II GER
tanly will be II the full vote be pOed and everything
has been done that organization could leRllmaely do

CHARGE OF PLAa1AR1sM-The semi
weekly Republican of st. Francis
vile makes the following accusation
against one Of its rural cotempora-
ries:
"The goalin Of a paper published
not a hundred miles from Bayou
Sara, copies the prospectus Of tho
New Orleans Lou1s1Ax1Ax vey6atsm
ct hteratim, and palms it off as tho
production of his own brain."
We don't know who the 'tgoslin" :"
is. but a little cgotism prompts us
to defend him from the charge of
being brainless, just from, the fact
that he looked on our prospectus
as a model.

our Office on time, while the other

haps Mr.. Lowell will favor us with

A DISASTROUS TORNADO.

Our town was yesterday visited
by one of the most disastrous tor
nadoes we have witnessed for many
years. About 12 o'cock tho wind
commenced blowing furiously; &C.
companied by heavy fall of rain,
and for half an hour or more tho
hurricane continued without abate-
menk Those who were in positions
deemed unsafe, were not slow to
seek other localities where there was
less danger. As soon as the wind
and the rain would permit our peo-
pie sailed forth to see what damage
had been done, and in many places
the work of destruction was. to bo
seen. The new Episcopal Charch
was levelled with the ground and is
q complete wreck. The galleries.
with a part Of the wall, in front Of
tho stores of r. G. Hetherwick, Tait
and Laney, and NJ. Rosenthal, were
blown down. A large part Of the
roof of the West side of the Ex-
change Hotel was torn Off The
Carpenters Shop of Mr.: Mills is
blown down. Also q house in the
upper part of the town, besides
many fences, shade trees, &c. For
tunately, no lives were lost that wo
have heard. Several narrow escapes
were made. Mr.. B. c. Duke,
narrowly escaped injury, by the fall
ing galleries on Front Street. The
steeple of the Church barely missed
crushing in the house Of Capt. j, G..
White, in which his family wezg sit-
ting at the time. We learn that
several small houses were blown
down in Pineville, and that great
damage has been done to the crops
in the vicinity.
Those who have suffered BY this
calamity are entitled to public sym
pathy. Particularly do we sympa-
thize with the congregation Of st.
Ja,ncs' Church, who had, atthe cost
Of many sacrifices, built apt edi6ce
that was universally reco 1ized as
an ornament to the TOM. We
should be thankful, however, that
the catastrophe is no worse, that
there has only been . sacre6se OF
property with out loss Of life.
p. S. Since the above was written
We learn that q cabin was blown
down at the Kelso place, and q color
ed man severely injured. We also
learn that q cabin was blown down
on Capt W. ]. Oalits place, about
txo, miles below town, but {ortun,
ately no ives were lost. .

The election in New Hampshire takes place
on the 18th of March next, and that in Con-
necticut on the LIST of April. Notwithstanding
the Importance of these political cOntests-
being the first to come of in this, the Presiden-
tial yesr-there have been vet no popular
demonstrations by either party. 1t is but the
calm before the storm, however, as secret cleo
pioneering II said to be going on preparatory to
active and exciting campaigns in both states. In
New Hampshire last year the vote stood:-wes-
ton, DEM, 81 80; Pike, rep, Sc ,s92; temperance
and labor reform candidates, 1872. The repub.
licans hope by extra exertion to turn the scale
this Year, but the democrats will not give I'D
their hold upon the only New England state
they have without a severe struggle. The
present legislature removed some restrictions in
the way Of naturalization, and the democrats
expect to gain 800 voters by that means, and
assert that they can count 1000 democrats or
more who didn't vote last year, but will this
spring. They talk of re-electing Weston by at
least 1900 majority. The campaign win COM
nence next week in earnest, and great efforts
Will be made by both PARTIES to secure the legis-
lature- In Connecticut last year the republican
candidate for Governor was elected by barely
one hundred majority over one of the most DOB
ular democrats in the state. The selection of a
new man (Hubbard) for that office as the
democratic standard-bearer this year leaves
open for the present the question whether he
will be able TO retain his predecessors strength
The republicans are confident of largely in
creasing their majority, while the democrats do
not seem very hopeful of holding their own.
even with the help of scattering Liberal repub-
lean" votes.
