The fact is, it is the same with our ex-

CHANGES IN OHIO.

The Republicans of Ohio are greatly
alarmed, and with good reason, at the
detection from their ranks of large mum
bers of so-called greenbackers in the
manufacturing and other districts.
Leading men of substance and charac-
ter, who are not infationists, but who
regard resumption at fixed day as i'm
practicable are openly deserting their
former colors. Many of this class who
are disguised with Grantism and with
the corruption of the Republican party,
will vote for Tilden, while another
class, believing in "cheap money" "
may throw away their votes on Peter
Cooper.
Garfeld's nomination in the face of
his glaring venality, is an insult to the
moral sentiment of Ohio without regard
to party. He was caught with the
Credit Mobilier scrip, which was the
price paid for his votes on that and
other jobbery. And it was proved be-
fore the investigation, not only by
Oakes Ames' testimony and diaries,
but by his own handwriting, that he
committed deliberate perjury. He
swore positively that he had no interest
in the Credit Mobilier, and that the
bribe which he received was only O
loan. Yet while the investigation was
actually going on, he went to Oakes
Ames and claimed that he was entitled
to more money than had been paid to
him for his share of the corruption, and
made detailed statement of the divi-
dends and cash to establish his demand!
That paper was produced before the
committee, and Cakes Ames told bow
it came into his possession.
Garfield. as Chairman of the Appro-
priations, carried through three and q
half millions for the Washington Ring
in six weeks, and was rewarded not only
with fee of $1,000 for corrupt con-
tract procured by his his influence, but
with other substantial tokens of Boss
Shepherds partiality. This man, thus
notorious for venality, for the sale of
his public trusts and for fragrant job
berry, is nominated again for Congress
by the machine which he has hitherto
controlled through the power of the Ad-
ministration.
He is an acknowledged leader of the
party, and, in the event of success,
would aspire to be Speaker of the
House, which is now disgraced by bis
presence. It is no wonder that honest
men in Ohio, who followed the Repub-
lican standard while it represented
principles and integrity, are weary oi
supporting rogues and thieves as lead.

come to illustrate how profitable are the
ways of Washington to those who pull
the wires of legislation and change
their financial policy to suit the bond
holders and combined capital. They
see Bingham representing the United
States in Japan, and appointed right
on the heels of the investigation which
proved him to be one Cakes Ames'
chosen confederates. There is a revolt
against these iniquities now, but there
will be revolution in November.

The MEDICINE OF SUNSHINE. - The
world wants more sunshine in it's dis
position, in it's business, in it's chari-
ties, and in it's theology. For ten
thousand of the aches and pains and
irritations of men and women, we rec
omend sunshine. It soothes better
than morphine. It stimulates better
than champagne. It is the best plaster
for wound. The good Samaritan
poured out into the fallen travellers
cash more of this than of oil. Flor
ence Nightingale used it on the Cri-
mean battlefelds. Take it into all the
alleys, on board all the ships, by all
the sick beds. It is good for spleen,
for liver complaint, for neuralgia, for
rheumatism, for falling fortunes, for
melancholy. We suspect that Heaven
itself is only more sunshine.

%The bore of the great English
eighty-one ton gun, originally fourteen
anda half inches, is now being increased
to sixteen. When the operation of in
larging the calibre is completed, the gun
will be tested with larger charges than
have yet been fired from it. After that,
still another inch may be bored out, max
ing the ultimate calibre seventeen inches,
and the process of testing will then pro-
badly go on until the enormous cannon
is crippled. In this way the officers at
Woolwich can best learn what details of
construction to adopt in finishing the
four additional eighty-one-ton guns
now being made at the royal gun fac
tories there. The heaviest charge of
powder now fired in the completed gun
weighed 80 pounds, and the largest
grains of pebble powder used have been
two-inch cubes.

There seemed to be kind of honest,
let-alone, let-live, and let-love, every
where apparent-no sign of sharping or
trickery, neither among boys or men;
and q little trading in different shops
confirmed this good impression. There
was q plan showing of goods with a
communication of price without many
words; no attempt at making you think
that black is white, in regard to mater
ial, color, or fashion; no winking of
the eyes to excuse the conscious telling
of a falsehood. It was refreshing-a
real nerve-rest, that allowed general
relaxation of soul to think that, in the
first lookout, one need not be on the
lookout.
It may have been an exaggerated i'm
preston on the good side-a kind of
Utopian impression, that we did not re-
main long enough to dissipate; but I
could not, in contemplating the people
generally, help fancying that every
Scotchman was rather satisfied with his
lot, with his land, with his people, and
with himself, that he would agree to
banker after the fesh-pots of no other
country if he might only be permitted
to live and die Scotchman in Scotland.
He seem little like the old lady that
was in a perpetual state of gratitude.
After having enumerated, as a part of
her lot, about all the ills that can befall
q human being, she still held it as
great grace that she had two teeth left,
and, as still greater, that they were
opposite each other.

lie succeeded in quoting the unfortunate
man. .s
On the same day, while he was quietly
speaking to some OF his fcllow-boarders, he
remarked that he would be taken to jail that
evening, and ran out in the yard. He then
again returned and cntrcated one OF the
boarders not to shoot him, as he would not
like to be shot. During the night he raped
on the door Of the lady occupying the ad-
joining room, and asked her to tell him
whether he had committed theft.
Early yesterday morning he again seemed
composed, and spoke to n number OF board
erS who had come to visit him in his room.
At half-paSt seven, while the boarders were
enjoying their breakfast, they heard a noise
rs that of struggling from the room occu-
pied by Price. Mrs. Hurst, the proprietress
of the clearinghouse, ran up stairs, and
found Price lying on the floor wetcring in
blood, his throat cut from ear to ear,
and almost severed from his body. He
was still alive, and Mr.. r. j. Bell, one Of the
boardcrs, who was the next to enter the
room, noticed him moving convulsively and
his feet struggling and kicking against 4
bureau.
There were pools of blood in front OF the
bureau, and another ut the door, the clothes
| OF the deceased being also covered with
! blood. On the bureau was razor and lather,
! showing that Price must have stood before
! the looking-glaSs shaving himself when he
committed the deed. After cutting his
throat Price must have walked from the
bureau to the door and then again tothe
! bureau. where he fell. When Mr.. Bell
spoke to him, Price, who was lying on the
floor, looked up, but could not speak. He
ceased to breathe in ten minutes. The de-
ceased had been employed by West Il Sons,
| coal-oil merchants, lis west Lombard street,
for the past eight years, and had always
borne 4 good reputation. He has no rela-
tycs in this city, his parents residing in
Winchester, Va. Mr.. West took charge OF
the body yesterday, but the father OF the
deceased telegraphed that it be sent to him.
