The victory Of the honest money party in Ohio was
thing so creable to the United States that took
The Saturday ten days to make up its mind to men
ton il. And its mention now is accompanied by the
amazing remark that the return of MIR. Hayes IN
Ohio is equivalent to an annullnent OF the
opposite decision in Pennsylvania, and 10
a ratification Of tho Democratic vote IN New
York" This is probably the first time you
have heard in America that Mr.. Hayes mas oeeh
candidate in Pennsylvania or in Now-iork, or tna''

annued or his in the other raihed 10y ONO

war is inevitable between France and Germany IN
the course of time and that Franco would find Ultra
montanism her sole active ally. This, says the cor
respondent. has caused great sensation Another
dispatch adds that the nOEiteW (which speaks with
kind If sem official authority crtciscs the article
severely and alludes, In tone o. bitterness to Mr.
Gladstone's policy toward France. This probably
means that Mr. Gladstone is reproached for not hav-
ing plunged England into war with Germany in
1870 in defense of the Bonapartist empire. 1t re-
