A Clean sweep In Ohio.

THE ELECTION OF THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET,
AND A LEGIsLATURE REPUBLICAN IN BOTH
BRANCHES PUT BEYOND DoUDr-THE WORK OF
THE MERCHANTS AT THE POLLS.
Special Di.pateh 10 the NeO York Times.
CoLuMBus Oct. 15.-The timely discovery of
the Democratic operations in regard to Wood
county destroyed the last hope Of sue
cess for the inhationists. We now have anthem
tic reports from all counties. The Republicans
make clean sweep electing the entire State
ticket by majorities ranging from $500 to 5000
the latter figures for Sam Carey's competitor,
Gen. Young, The Democrats expressed hopes,
after they had relaxed their hold on the ballot
boxes, that while Hayes election was settled, the
Republican candidates for Auditor and Treasurer
would run enough behind to elect their compe-
titors. But Williams and Milliken, the Repub-
licans, though running behind Gen. Hayes, have
majorities not likely to fall below $500.
The corrected returns show that the Senate
will stand twenty Republicans to sixteen Demo
crats-one not reported-giving the Republicans
three ms jority, which will be increased to five
if the frauds in Perrysburg are defeated. The
House will stand sixty five Republicans to forty
five Democrats and one Independent Democrat.

Political Notes.

Benjamin L. Temple, the Chairman OF the
Democratic City Executive Committee Of Phila.
dophia, says that Hartranft will be elected in
November by 81, 600 majority.
The nomination Of Gen. Bradley I. johnson,
formerly of Maryland, for the State Senate in
Richmond, Va, has created dissatisfaction in the
conservative party, which has eliminated in the
nomination OF another ticket. Richmond is EN-
titled to two Senators, and the conservative con-
vcntlon, after primary election. nominated
den johnson and W. L. Tanner. On Tuesday
evening the dissatisfied conservatives held a
largely attended meeting and placed IN nomina-
ton VIM. o. Knight, president Of the Virginia
Agricultural Society, and p. II. Starke, leading
agricultural implement manufacturer. The ad-
icass adopted by the meeting charges that gross
frauds were practiced at the primary election,
thus yltlating the proceedings. Many of the
loading business men OF Richmond participated
IN the meeting, indicating strong opposition in
the conservative party to Gen. johnson.

Our Police nystem.

ITS ISETFICIENCY Al SHOWN BY THE MAYOR IN
LETTER TO coUNcIL-HE SUGGESTS AN INCREASE
IN THE POLICE FORCE AND THE REDlsTRIoTINo
OF THE CITY.
Mayor Whiteley sent communication to
Council, last evening, concerning the ineficiency
of our police System. The force, consisting of
Chief of Police, two sergeants and twenty men,
he regards entirely too small for Wilmington,
with population of probably $4,000, and eight
square miles of territory. Eight of these men
are kept on duty in the day time and twelve at
night, either number being too small, i'll his
judgment.
The ordinance he also thinks, is defective in
it's method of dstricting tile city in that it re-
quires the same number OF men for each dis
trict. That If, no matter what ts territorial ex.
tent, (and the districts do differ in size,) the
more populous districts have no larger force
than the less populous ones. For instance, the
Fourth district, east of Market form 4th to 10th
streets, aud the Fifth district, between 10th st..
and the Brandywne, have no moro policemen
than the Sixth district north and east of the
Brandyvine. The latter covers the greater ter
ritory, but the Mayor says sit is not
land which violates your police laws; it is
a depraved class of our people who
dwell and operate where our population is
densest for there thoy can easier hide, and there
are the people and property to prey upon" But
if it is desirable that each district shall have the
same number of policemen, the mayor recon-
patrolmen may 60 at least once over their dis
trict, now impossible he says, as follows
First distrct-West OF Market and South OF
Cd street Second district-East Of Market and
South of Second street Third district--West
Of Market, between I'd and 9th streets Fourth
district-East of Market, between I'd and 5th
streets Fifth diHtrict-West of Market street,
between 9th and 9th Sixth district-EasJ of
Market street, between 4th and 9th Seventh
district-Market street, 9th and the Brandy
Niua Ephth district-Eaat Market street,
between 9th and the Brandywine Ninth dis
trct--all East of the Brandywine. This would
give twenty-seven men, with three to each dis
tr1ct
The Mayor also thinks the special policemen
should be increased from two to four, and that
there should be two additional sergeants. The
total increase of the force would be thirteen, or
at the most fourteen, men, which would require
an increased expenditure, which the Mayor thinks
would be comparatively small and money well
expended.
The communication was referred to the Police
Committee

A Sin Ort COurtship.

a CAPTAIN REsoUEs A LADY FROM DROWNING, IN
TUE MORNING, AND MARRIEs HER IN THE AFTER
NOON.
From the seaford, DEL, Citizen. Oct. 10.
On Monday morning two oyster pungies were
sailing on the Chesapeake Bay bound for Balti-
more Both were reputed to be fast sailors, and
as stiff breeze was blowing at the time, all
canvass was crowded on, and both puugies were
doing their 'level best" On board one of the
boats was remarkably handsome young lady,
daughter of the captain who was sitting on deck
waving her handkerchief, and otherwise demon
strating her enthusiasm at the apparent success
of her fathers boat. SO deeply interested in
situation, she rose up, and just as she did So a
heavy sea struck the boat, which caused her to
lose her equilibrium, and she tumbled over the
rail into the water. Quick as flash the captain
OF the competing boat took III the situa-
ton at once, and giving the helm i'll
charge of his colored man, he took Off his boots,
and plunged into the foamng waters, and when
he arose to the surface he held the form of the
girl in his arms. By this time, the first boat had
rounded to. and sent off boat to their assist
ance, and they we're taken on board. By skillful
maneuverng the coored man kept his boat as
near as possible without colliding, and his cap
tain was soon again treading his own deck On
arriving in Baltimore, both boats landed at the
same wharf, when the father of the girl declared
that the brave man must be rewarded, but he
refused everything offered him. "We," ex-
claimed the old man " OF you won't take money,
take my darter she's willin', if you be!' The
young fellow after moments reflection, ac-
cepted the offer, and toward the close OF day
they were married. And the old man told HIM
to take her, for he was observing of her."
