In his address before the Hampshire coun

OF Amherst college, made the following sue.
cinet summary Of the mischlsfs that have
ben wrought by the legal tender act:
80 any one who understands what it in
wolves the legal tender must be regarded as
one of the greatest mistakes, fnot the greatest
OF the war. 1t has made our national debt
more than thousand millions of dollars lar.
ger than II would have otherwise been; il
has vastly increased our state and county and
town indebtedness; ii has swollen pr0dgi.
ously our taxation; it has augmented the cost
OF living; it has led to extravaganza unthrIf,
and wastefnlness on the part of the govern.
ment, and worse than all, it has been steadily
poisoning the minds of the people with the
notion that dishonest promise, promise
which the party promising does not make
any attempt to keep, may still be lawful and
may even he declared by our supreme cour,
to be The highest law of the land"

OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

The usual October State elections took p!ac
on Tuesday in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Ncbra.
ka, West Virginia, Arkansas and Dacotal
- The results have been generally favorable t
the opposit,on, IN Ohio and Indiana over
whclmngly so, while in Iowa and Nebrask
the Republicans though escaping defeat
' have been unable to hold their own.
In Ohio the officers to elect were secretary
: of state, commissioners of schools and public
works, and two judges Of the supreme court
besides congressman. There was no ,egisla
turc to elect. The democrats have literally
swept the state. Last year they elected roar
ing Bill Allen" governor by d few thousand
majority. This year they have gained 1900
votes, the majority on State officers being
over 10000. They also carry thirteen of the
twenty members of Congress, being gain Of
seven on the election two years ago.
If the radical overthrow in Ohio is com
plctc it is no less so in Indiana, The officers
to elect were full state ticket, congressman,
Legislature, &c. The resultto the republicans
is that defeat the like Of which has not been
known in Indiana by either party since lo6l,
has swept the state from the lake on the north
to the Ohio river on the south, lcyeling the
state, district and county republican tickets
alike. OF the thirteen congressman, the re-
publicans have elected but tive-James l..
Evans in the Eleventh district, John Baker in
the Thirteenth, Milton =. Robinson in the

The case of COuntNOn Arnim continues to

politicians and diplomats of Germany, and
was sent as minister to France 6 ftcr the down.
fall of the Empire and conclusion of peace
with Germany. Various explanations are
given of the cause of his arrest by order OF
Bismarck. One of the more plausible is,
that while ambassador at Paris he FASTENED
the downfall of President Theirs, and urged
Germany to recognize the government OF
Mac MahOn Immediately. Prince Bismarck
disapproved of this course of Won Arnim, and
wrote to the latter, explaining the reason why
he preferred the policy of Theirs to that of

he expressed his dissatisfaction with

Bismarck was afraid of the effect which that
statement would have upon the country Il
produced The publication of Bismark'S
correspondence would do much TO advance the
interests of the Opposition and to injure Bis
marck. Hence the Chancellor sent four pc
licemen and two employees of the Foreign
Office TO Won Arnim's house to ask for the
surrender of his correspondence with the
Premier. The penalty of his refusal was i'm

The Archbishop of Cologne has been re-

for which he was sentenced will be treated as
