OHIO.
Hon. Milton SRyIer is of Opinion that
the Republican Majority of October
will be Reversed.

New YORK, October 30.-Mr. Ssyler
thinks that the contest is very close and
the result involved in considerable
doubt. he uDhesitstiDgly stfirms, how
ever, tn { II the EFFORTS Of th- Deuoc-
racy are properly directed and the same
amount Of energy and enthusiasm in
fused into the canvass that marks that
of other States, Ohio will be carried by
the Democrats. He claims that the resi-
dent party politicians have done all they
could for the achievement Of victory,
and are now stumping the State with
unabated zeal. He argues that Barnes's
majority OF five thousand votes can be
readily accounted for by the fact that
being temperance crusader he received
about two thousand five hundred tenn
peFance votes, 81 well as an equal
amount from the greenbsck party; that
this fusion of five thousand votes will
be cast in the Presidential election on
the Democratic side, thus narrowing
down the Republican majority and
equalizing as 1t were the hitherto over
balanced scales. He further insists that
there were other cogent local causes and
circumstances that affected the October
election, and which being removed, OF
imperative in the coming struggle, will
effect a notable turn in the tide. A
strong point, he said, was made by the
Democratic gains, and the comparative
| ly Insignificant majority by which the
| Republicans carried the State.

A CRUEL SHIP.MAsTER.
FrIEhtfuI Details of Brutality by los.
s. GrindIe, Master of the ship
st. Mark.

New YORK, November 3.-JOseph s.
GrindIe, late master Of the ship st.
Mark, who has been before the United
States courts as defendant in two trials
for cruelty to his crew, was yesterday
convicted in the criminal branch, Judge
Benedict presiding. OF the cruel and
unusual punishment in f1ogging sailor
known as "LoDg Tom," and other in
dignities inflicted by the captains own
hand or by his direction, it is alleged
that three sailors died. Captain Grindle
was first arrested five years ago, when
master Of the ship Old Colony, for ill
treating two Spanish refugees, whom 1t
was alleged he was attempting to coerce
into signing the ships papers. On the
trial it was proven that the men were
beaten, hOisted to the msintop with
heavy irons around their necks, gagged
with iron bolts, and confined in dark
hole for fifteen days on an allowance Oi
one biscuit a day. The men were SO
weak that they had to be brought into
court on stretchers. After trial lasting
several days, Captain Grindle was sc
quilted On technical grounds, the YER
dict being "not guilty under tht
statuts and the ruling of the court" on
Hguilty Of cruel attempt"

tlon Of the whole subject IN each house.
II may be said that the general current
Of opinion from the beginning has been
that the two houses, when assembled to
witness the counting Of the vote, do
not constitute joint convention, or q
single body composed Of the members
OF each house, but that each house is
present In its separate capacity as wit
nesses to the counting OF the votes. AS
to what power or control the two houses
acting separately may exercise over the
counting OF the votes and the deter
mtnAtion ~ TO who has been elected,
has been the subject Of discussion, and
about which there has been a great diff
ference Of opinion. In the bill which !
presented to the senate assumed that
the two houses by tL.,yir concurrent
action might ,sroI the counting Of the
votes' TbSS Gwenty-second joint rule put
IL II tne power Of one house alone to
disfrsnchise any or all the States, which

NEW YORK, November 1.-The
Herald to-day has dispatches showing
the betting between Hayes and Tilden
last night in the principal cities of the
country. The average rate was about
one hundred on Tilden and eighty on
Hayes. On Louisiana it is at New Or.
leans one hundred and seventy, five in
favor of Tilden. In this city to might
the odds are one hundred to eighty.
William M. Evarts, of Andrew John.

Ward Beecher notoriety, addressed an
audience at the Cooper union tonight,
for fee, IL true as intimated by the
Journal Of Commerce., and in favor OF
Hayes.
Director General Goshorn has written
letter deploring the forlorn condition
of the Radical cause.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, says that il
Tilden is elected he is In favor Of giving
him q fair chance, and that he will op.
pose all fsctiOus opposition to him.
Coghlan, the senator's Nevada agent,
says Nevada and Oregon are safe fol
Tilden.
The president of the Central Pacific,
now here, denies that his company is
assisting Hayes. Gould has given
Chandler altogether sixty thousand dol
lars.
Thurlow Weed has been prowling
around the hotels tonight in deep de-
spsir, and looking for all the world like
captured Kentucky rebel. The tend
ency of the leading Radicals about head.
quarters now is toward much whisky.
Archbishop Sands is at the Fifth to-
night in close consultation with Chand-
Ter.
Tilden beat Tammsny and Boss Kelly
by forcing the nomination Of Ely fol
mayor, and to-day both MOrrissey RnC
O'Brien claim the credit Of destroying
Anti -Tammany. OBrien told me to-
night that his little hatchet scuttled the

Except for Tom Scott's secret but eff
fective opposition in Pennsylvania tC
Tilden, our National committee would

CHARLESTON, October 2S.-While the
great Democratic victory in Georgia has
had q salutsry effect on the various
States of the Union, no State, probably,
has been go much cheered as down.
trodden South Carolina. The personal
popularity of General Wade Hampton,
the iBdignities and cruelties of q corrupt
and tyrannical party, and the unlawful
and outrageous interferences by the ad-
ministratiOn, all have aroused the Wild
est enthusiasm of a gallant and fOrbeRr-
ing people. The presence Of troops has
had the effect the authorities at Wash
ington intended it should have. The
colored voters, before the arrival Of the
soldiers, were, of their own accord, join
ing Democratic clubs In large numbers,
but now they believe they will be used
violently il they do not vote the Repub.
Iican ticket. Thousands Of the colored
voters of South Carolina will vote for
Chant erlain, Hayes and WheeleJ
through indirect intimidation. But,
however this may be, those
away from the influence OF
the soldiers will vote with the Demo-
Gratis, ss thousands still retain their
membership in Democratic clubs. Your
correspondent was travelling, night or
two ago, from Augusta to Columbia,
and on the train he met several promi-
nent citizens who were thoroughly
posted. 1t was their opinion, and the
belief is general, that Hampton would
carry the State by from five to ten thou
sand majority. AS the cars stopped at
q village near Columbia, large crowd
of both colors, about equalES 1ivided,
sang campaign song, the Chorus OF
which was:
Wen rock Wade Hampton in the big rocking
chair;
In the big rocking-chair,
In the big rocking-chair.
There was a ring about that music
that gave us a melancholy pleasure, but
the tone bespoke an earnestness that
would insure success. The Republicans
are resortiDg TO every device to brir g
about . collision between the races, The
whites are patient and forbearipg.
Throughout the State they have
resolved to submit to in
suit and injury without retaliation,
and to thwart the endeavors of the Re.
publicsns. The majority for Tilden will
be nearly IS large as that for Hampton.
The colored voter seldom votes q split
ticket; he Is straight
