CINCINNATI, OHIO, /
October 7th, 1873.
DEAR ADVOCATE:
TIE PANIC.

TIE PANIC.
am happy to say. has not been produc-
tive of serious evils in. this section. The
Banks continue TO pay on checks to deposit
tors, but refuse discounting. This is ex'
ceedingly creditnble, and shows the solidity
of Cincinnati, compared with cities both
east and west notably Chicago and New
York: but as Chicago is mainly owned in
New York and Boston, and as New York is
mainly owned by the restless devil of stock
gambling propensities, perhaps there is not
so much matter for surprise in the panick y
condition of those settlements" Tn g

THE GREAT ExPosITrnE
closed last Saturday. The average dlilg
attendance has been little over 1000:
making the handsome number of 6OoO00
visitors during its continuance of one
month. Of this enormous lumber perhaps
40, 900 were now residents of the city
The best test of the wonderful success of
the Exposition was the undated interest
exhibited up to the closing moments. Its
expenses we're $4,000: the exact figures
of receipts-except for admission-are not
yet precisely ascertained, guarantee fund
Of $50, 900 has been raised for the Exposi-
ton Of next year, which will be success
equal to any thai have proceeded it. The
showing of Textile fabrics, Manufactures,
Statuary, Paintings, Gold and Silver ware,
Tebac cos, Clothing, Sewing Machiu es,
Millinery Goods, Provisions, Fancy work
&C., &c., spread out over eight and one
half acres, and arranged in the most ele-
CANT style; the vast crowds in attendance;

THERE Is PARTY
which has the happiest faculty OF knowing
just how "not to do it" A party which
carries razor in its pocket and cuts its
throat-the party's throat that is-at the
critical moment That's the party to which
belong. Since last Th ursday it has been
going round with its gullet sewed up and
full of life as last years potato bug 1t
has slaughtered itself in Hamilton County
and the voc here will carry the State.
The opinion of Democrats who repudiate
a political trick, is, that the action Of the
Enquirer and the late Convention, in its
resolutions demanding the indictment of
GOV. EDWARD MOVES,
the present Governor of Ohio, and Republi
can candidate for re- election, and the subse-
quent suits brought against him by the
Prosecuting attorney, for the behalf of the
county, will recoil against the Democratic
party with most damaging effect. The facts
are these: Edward F. Noyes about sixteen
years ago, 'Carpet bagged" from Massa-
chusetts to Ohio, and hung out his shingle
announcing his readiness to starve at prac
tisng law. He didn't starve. A very few
years had elapsed, when he was elected
City Solicitor; which office he filled with
average credit. On the breaking out of
the late Misunderstanding, he volunteered
as Brigadier General, but didn't fill that
office throughout the war; for, by some
mistake, cannon ball got in the way of
his right leg, and the leg got out of the way
Of the ball. He was brought home, and on
recovery, and resuning the practice of law,
was elected Probate Judge. The Office was
worth some $4,000 per year, The Pro-
bate Judge being, also c!ork of his own
court, receives fees instead Of salary.
The office is compound of your Register,
Orphans Court, and so far as Roads are
has little sprinkl,ug of the
Quarter Sessions. During his term the
County Republcans-eon-
racted with Judge Noyes to index the rec
'rds of Births, Marriages and Deaths, and
o do some other clerical work which had
'un behind. He was to receive fifteen
,ents name for indexing; and, having done
he work, took his pay like little man,
md nobody said "nay."
'IME ROLLED ITS cEAsLEss CYCLES ROUND,
IS it has habit of doing, in this part of the
ountry, and Judge Noyes, having been |
otated by the aforesaid "Cycles" out of
'fice again, devoted himselft to the romantic |
history of Damon and Pythas, John Doe,
nd Richard Roe. But it was not to last.
When he had reached the critical period
zen John seeks the hand of Richards |
law In the holy bonds of we'd
ock, a grateful people took him up-Noyes,
ot John-and elected him Governor of the |
reat State of Ohio, at salary of ST., 800 |
er year and power to appoint Notaries
'ublic. He
ACCEPTED THE SITUATION,
ook the oath of Office, and sighed at the
errible prospect of being banished to Col
mbus for three years, and still no virtuous
Democrat saw anything wrong in the little
ndexing job. But sin the second year of
