An analysis Of the vote of Ohio by coun-
ties shows some interesting facts. The
democrats made gains in fifty-one coun-
ties. the republicans in thirty-seven.
Thirty of the counties where the demo.
Gratis made gains were democratic in 1873
and twenty-one wele republican two years
ago. The republicans increased their ma
jority in twenty-five Of their own counties
and gained in twelve democratic counties.
Forty-two counties gave Allen Il majority
in 1873. and all but two of them have
given him majority this year. Forty
six counties voted favorably to Noycs in
1873; Forty-one Of them now give ma
jority to Hayes. The geographical dis
tribution of gains and losses is very curious.
Ofthe nineteen counties in the two western
tiers, all but three show democratic gains.
OF thirty nine counties in the southern half
of the State, twenty-six show democratic
gains and thirteen only increased the rel
alive republican vote. A line drawn from
northwest to southeast cuts off on the cas-
tern side twenty-five counties that show
republican gains, leaving but twelve such
on the western side. The changes are of
such a character as to show that the intro
duction Of an entirely new issue into pol
itcs had very decided effect upon the
votes Of both parties .-B0ston advertiser

4 STORY OF PRISON LIFE.

The New York "Sun" tells the following On
the Sd of September last Samuel McMnrray was
confined in the Tornbs on charge of numbering
Thomas DOYLE, and twenty days later his wife
Anna Jane was locked up in the Tombs as bis
accomplish. She took 10 the prison her little child,
a pnny two-year-old boy, SO small and delicate
that he seemed hardly year old The father was
confined in the prison for men, and the mother
and child in what is known as the "Magdalen, q
place set apart for mothers and their children and
young girls. The little family living underneath
the same roof, saw more Of each other than
though ocean divided them. Day by day the
little one grew weaker and few days ago it was
plain that it must die. Then the father was taken
10 see his boy and the little family were for q few
minutes united. On Wednesday the father saw
the boy again. He was alive, but very. weak;
After the father YVES again locked up in his cell
the little one died in his mothers arms. "ae
better of now," she SAID, but she wept, and when
her husband was brought 10 her cell both soboed
over their dead child. The said they could not
bury it--ihey were too poor-but asked the ar,
den to send word to a friend. The friend declined
to bury their dead baby, and so the body was sent
to the Morgue. The mother, still weeping, made
the little corpse as decent as she could, and then
kissed the cod lips, and strangers buried her boy

TIE CAUSE or LAWLESSNESS

1t is one Of the most difficult things IN the
world for people of strong political cOnvic-
tiOns to put themselves in their opponents
place, and to give them credit for the ordinary
common sense and right feeling of human
beings. We see this disposition continually
manifested by the supporters Of the Admins
trltiol in reference to the white people Of the
South. They do not seem to regard these
men as average fellow mOrtals. with the
faults and the merits of the race but as
fendish monsters, thrsting only for the blood
of the freedmen. This affords an easy and Il
slOyenly way of accounting for every disturb
ance which can happen in the South, and it is n
simple and practical sort of process which com
mends itself naturally to minds Of the caliber
of Mr.. Logan and Mr.. Morton. OF course,
there are on the other hand such prompt and
unhesitating reasOners as Mr.. Salisbury and
Mr.. Andrew Johnson, who find TO difficulty il
assuming that anything done by Republicans
il from the nature of the case accHrsed. But
il is not what we should expect from many
of our leading citizens, that they should refuse
TO consider the merits of cases as they arrive,
simply on the ground that the "rebels" can
never be right and the freedmen can never
be wrong.
In the Vicksburg matter. for instance. which
has lust resulted IN q violation of law by the
direct order of the President, there has been
lawlessness on both sides, but it is impossible
to deny that the negro Sheriff Crosby has
acted part which is perfectly indefensible.
He was elected by negro votes, and seemed to
think that nothing more was necessary. He
vaa nrobably too ignorant to understand
clearly that there was any such thing as an
irresistible and inevitable law. He neg ected
to procure proper bOndsmen, not apparently
from any inability to do so, but because he
did not think it was worth while. He was
repeatedly urged to do it by members of his
own party, but of course, as he took no special
interest in the matter. ii was not done. He
occupied his Office without his bond. This
seems amazing enough here, where Sheriff
could no more occupy his Office without fling
a responsible and adequate bond, than he
could without being elected. This course Of
proceeding, although not so surprising
in the dominiOns of Gov. Ames as
it would be here, gave great olfense to the
political opponents of the Sheriff, and at last
excited something like a riot. 1t was by no
means n sudden outbreak. Crosby's position
was dangerous and critical for many days be-
fore the final demonstration. Judge Brown,
an Administration appointee, testiieS before
tho Congressional Committee that he urged
upon Crosby the necessity of completing his
bond, and gave him advice as to tho persons
who would assist him, which advice WAS ac-
copied " Cr0sIy, WHO V.c.v.as1 " &c Iasy-

ing himself about this matter. But 1t n. 'p'", .
that all this while he was telegrapbins W
Gov Ames for troops and sending his friends
out into the country to rouse the ignorant
field hands by false acquisitions to ceme to
his assistance. This brought that little army
of unfortunate negroes marching upon the
town, and gave rise to the deplOrabe fight
where some twenty of them were killed.
1t is absurd to say that this whole trouble
arose from rebel hatred to the cO.ored people
Judge Brown, who is n supporter OF GOV.
Ames, said to the Committee that if Crosby
"would give q sufficient bond he could proceed
with his duties" He also testified that the
County Treasurer, who was negro, had not
been interfered with. We do not deny that
outrages have been committed upon negroes;
but in almost every case where the peace and
auiet of the community have been disturbed
by lawless occurrences in the South, 1t VIII be
found that the blame does not rest exclusively
upon one side. The INSCRIPTIONS men VINO
have adopted tho trade of using the ignorance
and the vices Of the negroes as means OIL
plumber and power, arc far more to blame tor
these frequent outbreaks than are the not
headed citizens who see every avenue to JUS
tice blocked up by organized and shameless
villainy. They have seen the bayonet used
against them until they have come to regard
it's employment as a desirable thing, as was
shown in Speaker Wits request to Gen. de
Trobrand to keep order in the lobby. They
have seen every principle of law trampled
upon by the people who govern them, until
they naturally become careless, whether 1t
stands in their way or not when they see an
opportunity of an advantage by violating it.
Every intelligent man in the State of Loui5i-
ana is aware that the Conservatives carried

Board falsificd the result 20 give the majority

possession of the majority which belonged to

respected in regions ruled in this wayf
