Gov. Tilden is the man Of desti-
ny. When he was announced as a
candidate for the nomination for
Governor, every polIeieiaR predict
ed that he would ncTer receive II.
He got it by a twc-tulnis vote.
Then they predicted his defeas. He
was elected By over 10000 majori-
IS. Then they predicted that the
delegation from his own State would
not support him for the Presidency.
That delegation was unanimously
instructed for him. A disastrous
failure to receive the nomination
was the next prediction. He was
nominated on the second ballot by
a two-thirds vote. Then his over
whelming defeat was the sext
prophecy. He received q popular
vote OF 0,O0o, and 203 Electoral
votes and Il vas not until twenty

cans recovered their balance safii-

Ohio

CoLUNBUs, o., Nov. 22.-The dem
ocratic Central COMMITTEES and a
number Of representative Demo
eFats from various counties or Ohio,
met here to-day for consultation.
The following resolutions we're
unanimously adopted
Resolved, that patriotism de-
uands of every good citizen a spirit
Of ready acquiescenee in the result
OF the Presidential election as fairly
aseertatned, and we deprecate all
partisan feeling in the discussions
Of fact and law on which that result
depends.
Resolved, that it IS due t, the
people, and it IS indispensable to
the preservation OF free govern
ment, that the President shall not
be chosen by fraud or force. We
appeal to the officers charged with
canvassIng the vote and making the
returns to allay public appTehen-
sion and suspicion by open and inn
partial action, thus commencing the
cordial aequieseence OF the Ameri
can people; bat, admonished by the
past action Of the present Returning
Board of Louisiana that such re-
turns may be falsely and fraudu-
lently made, we demand of the Sen
ate and House OF Representatives
TO exert, if necessary, the constitu-
tional powers vested ia them, joint
" or severally, to the end that who
ever has been fairly chosen by the
people shall be declared and inau-
guIated President Of the United
States.
Resolved, that we regard the con
centIajion OF regular troops at
Washington by the President on
the eve Of the assembling of Con
gress, as al act calculated to throw
discredi5 upon the disposition of
the people to obey the law and sub
mitslo the results of the Presiden-
tial election, as legally aseertained,
aid TO excite unnecessary alarm as
TO the stability of the Republic,
thereby impe stlling peace AZ home
and public credit abroad.
Resolved, that we recommend to
the Democratic Central Committee
of the State to correspond, and to
confer with other State Democratic
committees of the country, with a
view to q full understanding of the
facts and a perfect concert of action
in maintaining the rights of the
people in the late Presidential eiec-
ton, as determined by the proper
legal authorities.
Speeches indorsing the resolu-
tions were made by Thomas Ewing
George H. Pendleton, George w
Morgan, Durbin Ward and others

How the European War Would
Affect US.


The leading journals OF this eoun-
try are giving their views upon
this subject pretty freely, and we
copy from the Herald, a condensed
summing up Of the situation, say
ing:
There is one point in regard 10
the war now on foot as 10 which
there can be no doubt, and this is
that it viii be of great advantage
TO this country. All the Black Sea
ports viii become inaccessible, and
the grain countries Of the Danube
and of Southern Russia viii cease
to add their great contribution TO
supply the markets Of Europe, and
the deficiency must be made from
this county. There will be a great
demand for breadstuffs, therefore,
at good prices. In all probability
tins country will also be drawn on
to a great extent for army supplies
pork, beef, clothing-if not arms
and ammunition. Thus a great i'm
pulse will be given 10 every depart
ment of trade. The farmers will
find an easy market; the railroads
will be full of business, the facto-
ries win TEEN with orders, and the
money OF the world will flow into
our Golfers. The benefit 30 us can
not but be very great, even If the
waI is restricted 10 its shortest
possible term, while il protracted it
will completely restore our finances.
Furthermore, il England should be-
come belligerent the inequality
would be finally balaae eed, and the
carrying trade Of the world would
fail to American slsips. Already
the change tends in q most practi-
cal way in our favor as 10 credit. as
may be seen By reference to our f.
nancial reports The advance in
the price OF grain reported to day
iuadequately foreshaslows the fu-

The French have a new method
Of disposing Of the dead. AT the
decease of an Individual the body is
plugged into a liquid, and in about
five years the corpse IS turned into
stone. The secret Of the petrifca
tion Is known only to the discover
er He says that in a thousand
years time, if persons viii only
preserve their relatives and friends,
they viii be able to build a house
with them, and thus live in residen-
ces surrounded by their ancestors.
Another application Of this process
has been suggested, namely, to have
the petrifed corpse nickel-plated
or electro plated with bronze, and
If q statue Of an individual IS de
sired, to place the corpse On a prop
er pedestal, so as to fulfill the fgne
tions OF being the statue Of the per
son deceased.

Changing Topics.

Many newspaper Teaders-par-
ticuIarly those of the gentler sex
have been longing for the time to
come when they could pick up
paper and find something to read
other than about Tilden and Hen
bricks and Hayes and Wheeler
None of them are more rejoiced that
this time has arrived than we are,

the novel idea that it will result in
the election of TiIden and Wheeler
in the following manner: He be

majority for Tiider, but that the
vote of each will be counted for
Hayes, and, as a result, the votes OF
these States will be thrown out by
Congress when it shall meet to
count the Electoral vote. This viii
