DEL, OCT. IA, 1873:

OHIo.--The returns sent abroad by the
Ohio Republicans have been reduced il
one day from $4,000 to 1000 or 5000, and
about one-half of the State has yet to be
heard from officially. At this rate it is
barely possible that victory may yet
perch ON the Democratic banners. 1t
will be remembered that the Radicals
last year claimed Pennsylvania by 10000
two days after the election, but it turr-
ed out that the Democrats had carried
it by 5000.
There is little in the victory for the
Radicals to rejoice over. They claimed
the State in full vote by 10000 If
they have it they got it by the use of
money. What in the name of goodness
would they have done if they had been
defeated therep Why they would have
been nowhere. The Democrats can soon
gain enough now to carry Ohio in 1876
The whole Administration, with all the
money of the party, cannot operate there
next year.
Had it not been for the clause in the
platform that the National Banks be
abolished" we believe Allen would have
been elected.

THE NKw YORK CANAL FRAuDs.-Tbe
deeper the canal frauds of New YORK.
are probed the more corrupt and often.
sive they appear to the honest men of
every party. One contract on the Cham
plain canal was awarded to an individ-
ual for $9,250.50. Upon this contract
was paid the sum OF Sl46,3 ,3l6, or sixteen
times the amount of the bid, and over
Sl20, 900 more than the estimate Of the
canal engineers. The commission an.
pointed to investigate the matter. after
a thorough examination of all the ma .
pers in this case. declare that Ss5. .647 .G2
were paid to the contractor for services
and material never furnished. The le-
port places the responsibility of these
frauds on State Engineer Taylor and
the canal board and the canal commits.

tention to the robbery of valuable doc

DEATH OF ZIBA FKnRIs.-One after
another our old citizens are passing
away. This, of course, has always been
So; but occasionally man dies who has
lived so much longer than his school
fellows, that in putting him away" it
seems as though one of the old land
marks" were being removed, 1t ls so
with Mr.. Ferris. His ever cheerful
countenance, which so long rendered
pleasant his place of business, (the cor
ner of Fourth and Market streets,) from
which he has been missed for the past
fifteen or twenty years will never be
forgotten. He is now still in death, but
many an eye will moisten and many a
heart will beat more faint at the lines
announcing his death. He was one of
those men that cheered and comforted
all that came within his circle, although
they may never have enjoyed his init.
mate friendship.

CHIEF ENGINEER ELEcTED.-The City
Council put an end to the difficulty in
electing Chief Engineer of the Water
Department of this city, last night. by
choosing for that Office, Mr.. Allen Ruth.
We are unable to refer intelligently to
this gentleman's qualifications for the
position. He is member of the Board
OF Public Education. and is said TO have
had experience in the building of water
reservoirs. We hope he will prove equal
to all the duties required, and make a
careful and judicious officer, keeping an
eye single to the interests of the city in
the matter of expenditures. In Mr..
Daniel Farra, whom we knew, We were
confident that oui city would secure all
for which We have here expressed hope.
