The Cincinnati Commercial Of yester.
day says that the result Of the munlcipa
elections In Ohio shows conclusively thai
in the large cities there % Q decided anti
prohibitory sentiment, while In many o.
the small towns the temperance party 4
largely In the ascendant.
The Cleveland HtraiS Of yesterday
speaking Of the result irP that city, sayl
that tho prevailing sentiment there Is In
favor Of temperance. The difficulty, how,
ever, ls in agreeing upon the manner o.
making the issue.
"Amopg those who voted against the
Republican ticket Monday were hundreds
Of practical Temperance men-total ab-
stainers from all kinds Of intoxicating
drinks. They objected to come Of the
methods adopted In the cause Of Temper
ance and entered their protest inthis way.
Other hundreds were total abstainers
from spirituous liquors, using only light
beverages, and protesting against the In
discriminate condemnation Of these with
spirituous liquors. In short, We have NO
doubt that large proportion Of the vote
cast against the Republican ticket Mon
day was really In favor Of Temperance,
though holding different views from the
defeated minority as to the best method
for advancing the Temperance cause"

THE editor Of the GreengIsr Independ-
snt seems to be filled with apprehension
in regard to the elections this fall. He
warns the Bourbols to take the field
early and get ready for a fierce and Bit
ter struggle with the Radicals. Appar-
emily he has been deputed to write up a
lot Of acsre.crow articles for the other
Democratic papers to copy. We Suggest
to him not to get up an excitment
SO early. 1t Is q long time until
October. Six months Of suspense is too
much: Why not let tho embers shoulder
until-the Fourth Of Julyi That will be
good time to start the bellows blowing.
By that time the plot to unite the Radi.
Gals and the Jacob Democrats will have
had chance to show itself. At present
it 10 In very embryonic state indeed.
In fact, as the DarwlnIans would say, 1t
is q mere protoplasm. There % no ne.
cessity tobe scared about 1t. None in the
world.

Our dispatches this morning announce
the resignation Of Special Treasury
Agent JAYNE. We are also treated TO a
bill Of items in the sANDoRN case. By
the disclosures Of the testimony thus far
itseems that both JAYNE and sANpoRS
spent for counsel fees, information, and
other purposes, an enormous proportion
Of the money they recovered. The dis
buBements Of the latter amounted to 75
per cent Of the receipts. or 100000 out
of$2lO.O00. There are enough suspicious
circumstances in the apparent ignorance
Of high officials, the zeal Of congressman,
and the ease with which sANBoRN secur.
ed all the aid from tho Democrats he
needed or wanted, to mako 1t q matter Of
public concern how sANBoRH spent this
100000.

Mr. KelleY,s Centennlal RIIl.

WARRINGTON, April s-The House

ury that 100000, received from other
sources than the Treasury Of the United
States, have been expended upon the
work, that the Secretary Of the Treasury
shall pay over the sum OF 5000, and 60
for each 100000 expended from the
funds received outside Of the gov

amount to be paid by the Treasury
during tho next fiscal year 10 not in
any case 10 exceed 81 100000, and the re.

same way during tho succeeding year.
Representative John NJ Smith and DR..
Sanford opposed the scheme, and other
members Of the committee were so far
opposed 10 II ss not 10 be willing to unite
in q favorable report. Finally, without
testing the sense Of the committee by any
formal vote, 1t was agreed that Mr.. Kelly
should have permission to report his bill,
and ask for Its reference TO the Committee
Of the Whole, with the understanding
that tue action shall not be held 10 com.

IT appears that the Democratic victory
In Connecticut lacks the element Of com.
pleteness. 1t Is true they have succeeded
in electing their State ticket on the popu.
lar vote, and have secured both branches
Of the Legislature, but 1t Is also true that
their majority is much less than that
of last year. In 1873 the majority Of
Gov. 1NGERsoLL over all his competitors
was 9,347, and now it Is but $500. Last
year they had the same legislative Ad-
vantage which they now have obtained.
The net result, therefore to the Democra-
cy, compared with that Of last year, Is q
loss Of $40 votes.

Especial TO YeSterday's Cincinnati GaEs,tel
By general consent the currency debate
in the House was carried over until the
evening session, and will continue until 8
O'Clock tomorrow, when an attempt will
be made to sustain the Senate bill and
call the previous question. The expec-
tation tonight is that this substitution
can be made, and the probability is that
the vote will be reached then. II Is possi
bio that the debate may be continued IN.
I'll Friday. Il Is difficult to day to predict
what Of the Senate bill may be passed In
the House, as the prevailing impression
that the President may veto 1t has had
the effect to make quite q number of mem
bers hesitate In their support Of 1t, and de-
sire such modification as will render its
approval by the President more certain.

Call for a Convention at Grafton,

Call for a Convention at Grafton.
We publish q communication this
morning from citizen Of Marion County,
who has taken an active interest in the
Capital question, Suggesting that the var.
ious counties Of the State, especially those
Of the First and Second Districts, send
delegates to q convention at Grafton on the
25th Of May, there to confer with each
other upon the question Of removal, and
II possible come TO an understanding as
10 what Is best TO be done In the matter.
We have already expressed some doubt
as to the propriety Of holding this conVen.
tion unless there was a reasonable assur-
ance before hand that 1t would be Aar-
monious in Its views. We still feel
the same doubts. The counties immedl.

that amount to3 We want the counties
represented whose delegates voted against
removal at Charleston last winter,
or rather we want those counties
this year to. nominate delegates to the
Legislature, who arc In favor of
removal. That Is the practical thing to
do. If Pendleton, Morgan, Jefferson and
other counties that voted against taking
up the Capital question last winter, will
now nominate men who favor removal,
then something will have been accom-.
pllshed. Isuch counties will not coop.

ton amounts to little or nothing. This
Ia the status oI the question, and we may
just as well point out and understand
the weak spots in advance as to
go to Grafton and discuss them there.
The two leading papers Of the Eastern
Panhandle are divided on the question.
The question Is, how do the people OF that
part Of the State feel upon III Il they
are for removal it Is easy to say so In
their nominating conventions for members
Of the Legislature. We suggest whether
the agitation should not take this shape
rather than that Of a Convention at Graf.

l am requested by the tax payers Of
Marion and adjoining counties to say to
the people oI the counties comprising the
First and Second Congressional Districts,
that they will hold q Convention at
Grafton, Monday, May 25th, for the pur.
pose Of determining upon the removal Of
the Capital TO some convenient site; and
that they heartily solicit the co operation
oi all good citizens Of the State to
join them on that day, in Conven-

settlement Of q question which inspires
animosity between the various divisions
