An Address 10 the Democrats Of
Ohio.

COLUMBUS, October 13-The Demo
cratic State Executive Committee will
tomorrow morning issue the following
address:
10 tie Democracy Of Ohio:
The result Of last Tuesdays election
shows that Ohio was lost by the failure to
poll the usual Democratic vote. MorLiGy.
Ing as is the fact, justice to the Liberal
Republicans and an earnest desire TO re.
trieve the misfortune, require us to declare
it. In our chiet towns the Liberal
strength exceeded our most sanguine es.
innate. In the country it fell short. But
the aggregate Of the Liberals in city and
country who voted our State ticket, added
to the Democratic vote of 1868, would
have overcome the Republican majority
at that election and the negro vote
combined, and given US the victory.
Can We repair the miSchiet2 We
can. FOur-tifths Of the Democrats who
stayed at home last Tuesday can be
induced TO vote Tor Greeley in November.
Those who will absolutely refuse to go to
the polls, will be cOunterbalauced in mum.
ber by those Republicans who went
against us last Tuesday but will vote for
Greeley, We have only to poll our usual
Democratic vote 10 snatch from defeat a
glorious victory. The Liberals stretch
forth the hand, shall we refuse to take the
proiered hand. The South cries out
for help, shall we be deaf to their up.
peal. BY Grecley's Ielection we can re.
store prosperity and good government, to
the South; kind feeling to the now sterile
sections; honesty and honor 10 civil service;
respect for the Constitution and laws TO
the National administrator. Could we
do more with a Democrat in the Presi.
denCy, could we expect that cOopera.
tion in Congress which Mr.. Greeley
would command. Are patriotic Demo.
Gratis willing to lose all the benefcicnt
results Of the victory out Of personal hos.
tility TO Greeley, or disgracelul litharGy.
Are the Ohio Democrats ready TO let our
yet pure and proud State become dc.
bRuched and h9pelessly subjugated like
Pennsylvania, by hords Of mcrcenaries
paid by public plundcr. Fellow Demo.
Gratis, our union with the Liberals in Ohio
has not been fruitless. 1t has given us
Hamilton county by near six thousand
majority, which secures the constitutional
convention and Legislature, and United
States Senator next year. II we make a
brave fight this fall, should both Ohio
and Pennsylvania so for Grant, the
chances are still in favor Of Greeley.
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey
and Indiana added 10 these border and
Southern States, which are sure for Gree.
ley will give him clear majority. We
have already by a vigorous and aggressive
fight forced the Grant party 10 its knees,
and can conquer it in November. Fellow
Democrats, work till November heartily
and hopefully. The Liberals will take
care OF themselves. Let every Democrat.

arrive before the city tomorrow and will
combine with the garrison In an attack
on the rebels without delay. The Gacsta
says the insurgents seized the steamer
Cadiz, a tug boat and several barks. The
citizens seem to look upon the movement
with indifference, taking no part for or
against 1t. The military governor, the
commandant Of the post and all officers
are faithful to the Government, and with
the troops Of the garrison occupying stra.

with all his dispOsable forces has marched

The only place Of Importance held by
the insurgents is the arsenal, from which
they will soon be unable to move. Fort

A Type-SettIng Machine.

THE New York correspondent of the
Reading Times and Dispatch writes thus
enthusiastically of type-setting machine
just brought to perfection in that city:
Just as the great Morse, forty years ago,
was developing his system of telegraph
in secret and alone; Just as Fulton created
the steam engine in the solitude of an
humble apartment, so have / to-day seen
a man in New York who, for thirty years,
has given his life to one grand idea, and
at last exhibits the happy consummation
of his labors, to-wit: The setting of type
by machinery. Old, wrinkled and bent
with thought; unable to speak word of
English; poor in this worlds possessions;
the inhabitant of an attic, and sharing
his room with the curious creature of his
brain, there he sits at this moment in
front of row of piano keys, sending a
type into its place at each touch, and re-
producing the column of a newspaper at
the rate of six thousand "ems" an hour,
or in other words doing more than the
average work of four compositors. To
describe the machine IN detail here is i'm
possible. Suffice it to say that it occupies
not more space than an ordinary bureau,
is operated by treadle, and is simple in
construction. Attached to it is an ap-
paratus for 'justifying," and accompany
ing the whole is machine for "distribut-
ing" Each of these is performed rapidly
and correctly. The beauty of the inven
ton is its utility and economy-the esti-
mated cost not more than four hundred
dollars-a sum that will enable well-to-do
compositors to own the apparatus, and
thus save wear and tear of both body and
mind. None have yet been manufactured
for sale, but the largest publisher in New
York has given his order for forty as soon
as the company is organized for their in
PRODUCTION. 1t may be months or years
before practical use is made of the little
revolutionary entirely-but here it is, the
successful solution of problem that has
worried the minds of men for century.
