THE cemetery started by Ames & Co.

covered. The plot to secure troops and
save the State to the Radical party
seems TO be a failure. Ames has lost
cast with all decent Republicans at
Washington, and it is highly probable
that, like the carpst-baggers in Arksn-

The Ohio campaign is one Of the
warmest ever witnessed in the country.
The Republican newspapers have done
more hard blowing than usual, which is
a favorable sign, but many prominent
members Of the party concede Aliens
election by a heavy majority. There
seems to be no doubt OF his election.
General Thomas Ewing has expressed
the opinion that Aliens majority will be
40, 900, and that it would have been co.
600 if the school question had not been
brought in. If the State is thus carried
it will have a very powerful influence in
the Pennsylvania election, which is one
of the NEST important to be held this
year.

ment against him. one of his counsel declaring
that he w@nld cali Mrs. Tilton, and thus
confessions to various persous. As in
such an event Mr.. Moulton would
thereby make slrs. Ttun his own witness aud
put it out of his power to introduce evidence
contradictory OF what she might swear to, tus
assertion was not looked upon more than a
threat. 1t ia known that Mrs. Jllton who was

III the meantime District Attorney Bfitton has
