THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT
in the departments and around town gener-
ally to-day, owing to the report that dis
patch had been received from Cincinnati
saying that Allen was elected Governor OF
Ohio by at least 600 majority. A dispatcn
OF this kind was posted up in the Franklin
Telegraph Office at the Post Office depart
ment and was read by hundreds of persons,
most of whom doubted its authenticity
The operator finally removed the dispatch,
saying that possibly IL might be n mistake,
in which case he might be lynched by in
furiated government clerks. Judge Ed
munds, secretary of the Union Republican
Congressional committee, was i'm great de-
mand but although STAR reporter called
at his Office three times during the day could
not ind that gentleman in.

s'ons under the doctrine OF association
shows the nature of the works OF art intent

which must consequently be hell dutieble;
