COLUMBUS, Sept. 25.
TO The Zdnesuile Courier:
The STATE journal this morning gives
prominence, by double leading, TO the fact
tha, the Democracy Of Kentucky are TAX
ing lively interest in Ohio politics, and
have perfected arrangements to send large
delegations into Adams, Brown, Clermont,
and other Ohio river counties, to work for
Bell, in more ways than one. The truth
OF the matter is just this; The Demo.
cratic party north is badly demoralized,
and it is the "Solid South which has
done the business. Unless, then, the con-
fdently expected majorities of the October
election can be reduced, the party has no
more hope of victory in November than
the Anti -Cruelty-to Animals Society has
that Bob Ingersoll will quit skinning the
leaders OF the party between this and No
vcmber.
From this time until the close Of the
polls Tuesday, October 10, there will be
three agents very actively ut work for Mr..
Bell.
First: The slander mill, thought to be
located in Bells office, and which Matt
Martin, Oakley Case, ,brother-in-law Ochil-
tree, and Bell himself arc running, to he
kept going at as high pressure as it will
stand.
Next, voters are to be imported from
| Kentucky and judciously distributed
around among the "huckleberry" dis
tricts of the border.
And lastly: The State is to be flooded
with ut least S5000) the last week Of the
campaign, to be used for c1rrupting the
vote.
On the train from Rinesvile to Colum-
bus last Friday, Sam Cox and VIM. Bell
discussed this matter. Bell said nothing
less than fifty thousand would do. Cox
said Tildcn, Tnmmany and the East had
been bled numerically. Brown of Indi-
ana, had drawn heavily. (Who is Brown?)
Could not the Democracy OF the State raise
| $4,000 OF the fifty? Bell thought it might
would see.
This conversation took place just after
the train had passed Black Hand-just af.
ter Bell got through telling an nnecdotC
about the Postmaster there refusing tc
contribute to campaign expenses, n story
which Cox agreed to dove tail into all the
remainder nf his speeches this campaign
We would say further, in order that Mr.
| Bell and his friends can identify more
nearly the time when this matter was
talked over, that il was after the jnint cS
animation by Bell aud Cox of the wal
record, as published in the State Journoi
Of Hon. William Bell and Colonel Milton
Barnes, after Cox had sneered at the Stat,
Journal for honoring a brave soldierby in
dicating the days when his life was endan
gcred by Democratic bullets. II was alsC
Just little while before Mr.. Bell said t.
his constituents, on the platform ut New
ark, that he gloried IN his record as pub
lIshed in the State Jomndi, and that he tool

What is Thought of Gen. Hayes at
Home.

CINCINNATI, July 10. Why is it
me of your smart newspaper
m"no not show up Hayes as man
% be trusted with the Office Of
President. from the following facts Z
Il. Ex-Governor Noyes, who is the
right-hand man and most trusted ad-
wiser Of Hayes, is VIGOROUSLY cor
rupt man, politically. He is known in
this State as 1.-THE Great Indexer,''
having won that title by illegally
charging the city of Cincinnati and
Hamilton county $4,000 70, indexing
some law records a few years ago.
This robbery of the public was fully
exposed in the Cincinnati Enquirer,
and the exposure was one cause If his
defeat when he last ran for GOvernO,
against Allen. He ran thousands Of
votes behind his ticket.
2. Hayes is very indolent, lazy
insipid man, utterly deficient in exec
utive ability, who has had greatness
thrust upon him. He is like plastic
wax in the hands Of his friends, and
would be facile instrument of the
shrewd and unprincipled politicians
who have ruled affairs in Washington
during President Grants administra.
ton.
8. He is a bitter partisan, and if he
should be elected, will administer the
Government no better than Grant hat
done. Jim Blaine is his model of q
statesman, aud I have repeatedly
heard him denounce the investigations
Of public abuses now going on il
Washington City as being all wrong
No, no! Let no one expect any
thing in the way of reform in Hayes i
he should unfortunately be elected. =
Although bitter partisan, he is al
unSuspecting as child, and would b'
led by the nose by the men who have
controlled and corrupted the Republi
can party. l have myself heard hin
say that he owed his nomination tt
Don Cameron, and to any one WHIT
knows the Governor, that alone speak
volumes. His kind, Innocent, laz,
ways makes us all like him personally
but he is no more fit to be Presiden
than he is to navigate an ocean steam
er round the world.-[Private Lette

CUsTEk's PREDICTION. - Washing
ton. July 17.-Aa intimate personal
friend Of Gen. Custer says that q
short time previous to his departure
for his command, he, in conversation
expressed his fears of such calami-
ty as has recently happened. He
said the Government could not be
persuaded into an appreciation of the
formidable character and number OF
these savages, armed as they are
with the best and latest improved
arms. He said that, unless much
larger force than can be brought in
to this country, there would result a
long and costly Indian war; Chi.

The Republicans.
THE ARE Welded TO GRANT-THEY
CANNOT DENY HIM.

It is probable that from this time
forth, the Republican journals, with
the exception of the immediate Ad-
ministration ring organ will try to re-
pudiate General Grant. The Chicago
Tribune already says that "the Re-
publican party is no longer responsible
for the Presidents course in these mat
ters:: referring to his war on honest
meu.) This kind of talk will not do,
however. The President has been
playing the devil for some years, and
every newspaper of his party has in
dorsed him. Through tbs Presidents
entire course with reference to the
whisky prosecutions, hardly a single
voice was lifted up against him; de-
tense and excused him; or if there was
anything like a censure, it was offered
in the meekest and mildest manner
To cap the climax, no later than last
month, ct Cincinnati, the entire Re-
publican party, with one voice declared
that "The national Administration
merits commentator for it's honorable
work in the management of domestic
and foreign affairs, and President
Grant deserves the continued and
hearty gratitude of the American peo'
pie for his patriotism and his immense
services in war and in peace" Here
was the strongest kind of Endorsement
of all the acts of President Grant,
The party declared that, so immense
were his patriotism and "services
that this gratitude should DO icon
tinued." This, be it remembered, oc'

Governor Tilden.
THE WHITE HOUSE WILL NOT BE WITH.
OUT FEMININE ATTRACTIONS.

Gov. Tilden, although not blessed
with wife, has the good fortune to be
so comprised as not to feel the distress
of bachelorhood very acutely, and his
home in Albany is said to be as snug
aud cosy as one could find throughout
the country. The members of the Gov
ernor's household at Albany are his sis
ter, Mrs. Pelton, sedate, matronly
widow lady; her son Col. Pelton, and
his wife and daughter, the latter little
lady Of some twelve summers, who has
lived with the Governor since she was
two years old. So it may be seen that
the bachelor Governor and prospective
bachelor President is as pleasantly sur
rounded socially as most married gen.
tlemen. He has his pets, and they all
seem to encourage and repay his kind
nesses. In the event of his election,
should such be the result of the coming
canvass, Mrs. Pelton could not fail to
prove as graceful and accomplished q
hostess in Washington, as she is uni
versally acknowledged to be here. She
has resided with the Governor since his
inauguration, and, being as affable and
entertaining as he is himself, she has
contributed in no small measure to the
enjoyment of his guests. Mrs. Pelton,
though ofan extremely quiet and home
loving disposition, is au acknowledged
leader in Albany. In one notable re-
spect she deserves to be so regarded
that is in the extent and liberality Of
her charitable donations. Her name
stands at the top ofmany list of con.
tributions, as. Indeed, does the Govern.
or's own name. Mrs. Col. Pelton is &
New Jersey lady, whose maiden name
was Miss Dickinson. She, too, is pos
sessed of winning manners that secure
hcr the lasting regard of such as arr
fortunate enough to number Themselves
among her acquaintances. Either lady
would be an ornament to the Presiden
tial residence.

A SATIRE ON HIS BAcKERs.-Gov.
Hayes letter OF acceptance is a satire
upon his hackers. 1t illustrates the
Republican idea Of reform within the
party in its utmost absurdity. While
Grant is organizing the Hayes cam
paign by turning out every official
who has worked for reform aud by
feinstating the whisky ring. Gov.
Hayes proclaims that this is all in the
interest of the Thorough, radical and
complete reform" IN office-holding
which he will bring in. 1t is arrant
nonsense for him to promise, if elected,
to overthrow the very system on which
he now leans for support. No one
supposes he conld do it if he would

How a "Soft Answer" Failed

When a Munson Street man went
home to dinner, Thursday, he discov-
cred that one of his hens was in the
next yard, and was being chased
swiftly thereabout by the owner of the
yard, whose indamed face and flashing
eyes were appropriately set off by a
club six feet long. There was sud-
den boiling up in the mans bosom as
he saw his hen thus threatened, and
the first prompting was to pick up a
rock and heave it through the skull of
his neighbor. But this was the feeling
of but an instant. The owner of the
hens was man who desired to live at
peace with everybody, to be charitable
to all. He did not like this neighbor,
who was gruff and ignorant and coarse,
but duty overcame his prejudices. He
would conquer this man by kindly
words. So he walked up to the divid
ing fence and accosted him. The man
turned about on him, and, with an
oath, howled:
am kill every hen you have got on
your blasted premises! ! won't b.

The owner of the hens hastily swal

The Sad End Of a Stage-Struck
S0ciety-WOmau.

But a little over week ago there
died in this city, in greatly reduced
circumstances, a woman who but a few
seasons ago stood on. the topmost
round of tho social ladder. Mrs. Lloyd
Abbott was leader of fashion. Her
entertainment took precedence in the
beau monde; her carriages and liveried
servants "stopped the way" her dress
es were recognized as Partisan, and her
surroundings were, in brief, such as
always attend upon an elegante. Mrs.
ABBOTT had one weakness, taste for
rleatricals, and she finally made de-
hut upon the stage at the F'fth-avenue
Theater. She appeared in an excessi-
vely dreary play entitled The Baroness,
which it is questionable if the best
acting could have made palatable, and
which in, the hands of the nervous de-
butarte and munger of actors i'll at
ease from consciousness at the failure
which they felt to be foregone con

burlesque writer delights to term his
productions, "a wild absurdty."
