There is said to be alarm among the poll
ticians of Ohio Both parties have eaten a
great deal of dirt in the hope of conciliatinG
the working classes. Both have committed
themselves TO declarations OF which they are
already ashamed. Both have atlr0nted the
decency and cOmmon-sense of the country and
discredited the Republic III the eyes of foreign
nations for the sake of catching the votes OF Il
few thousands of trades-unionisis, labor agita-
tors and misguided strikers. And both are be-
ginning to feel that their humiliation has been
in vain. They have done enough to shock the
better classes of society, and even to DIS
gust themselves; but they have not done
enough to win the worl.mgmcn. On the
contrary both have lost greatly by aping
the tricks and manners of the dcmagogue.
The workingmen, looking the two conventions
in the face, have said to themselves, "These
fellows must be very much afraid of us; :
and thereup0D, satisfied Of their own political
strength, they have begun to build ny Il new
party. and to cut loose from all connection with
the old ones.
1t is too soon to judge Of the character of
the new movement. If the rantcrs who clam
ored on Saturday at Cincinnati for the appIo-
priation OF all Industrial enterprises by the
Government represented the force and spirit
of the Ohio Labor party, there would be no
reason to stand in great dread of 1t. The
number of such Missionaries in any part OF the
United States is inconaidcrabc. But they are
only the extreme wing of large multitude
which seems to be striving for an organization
in all the manufacturing centres Of tbe'State,
and if these elements crystalline into shape, the
result viii be strongly marked Ia the next
election. Fancy the feelings of the average
politician of either side, after all that he has
said and done, when he sees compact army
of the sturdy sons of toll marching Oh on the
second Tuesday of October and voting f0r 4
private candidate OF their own.
IT the consequence of the cOwardice of the
regular conventions has been to give vitality
fo an enterprise which otherwise would have
been OF Slight account, we do not know that
the mischancc Is greatly TO be regretted. The
managers of both parties need a good lesson,
and here, perhaps, they may find it. The time
is not far distant when every erraut statesman
Will look back upon these days Of danger and
trouble. and curse the blindness and folly that
led him out of the straight path of duty and
comnon-sense. 1t is strange that at this age
Of the world men should still be afraid to stand
up for law, order, free labor, and the rights of
property; but in party riyalricS they are always
prone to forget the homcly truth that honesty
is the best policy.

Dispatches recently received at the state
Department from our Minister in HaytI affirm
that very gratifying spirit OF liberation Is
extended to all Protestant denominations by
the Government of that country, although
Catholicism il, by Constitutional enactment
the relioion of the State. Ii is also officially
stated that tho growth Of this spirit has been
poticoobIy and almost unaccountablv rapid dur
ing the past few years. Our Minister at
tennis 10 assign some reasons for this sudden
EXPANSION of liberal sentiment, but he makes
no aliusi0n to what may, liter all, be the po-
tent factor in the case. Among the assets OF
the late Sam ma Bay Company were a second
hand meiodoon, copy of King James's YER
sion of the Holy Scriptures, and three tracts,
all of which were taken to Santo Domingo by
some of Gen. BabcOck's evangelists as
tno nucleus Of a Protestant church, and when
the company evaporated this missionary ma
terial was left behind to leaven the general
unrighteousness of the Island. Mr.. Fabens
himself had labored with Senior BOnaventura
Baez most zealously, but neither Mr.. Fabens
nor the meodeOn was able to convert that
hardened old potentate from the error of his
intolerant ways
In the course of time, however there fell
upoI Baez an orthodox preachers retnbutlOn,
and he was chased into one Of his periodical
bapishments. Then came the opportunity OF
Senior Iuperon, n chronic and highly cOlored
candidate for the Presidency, who is always
living in ambush over in the frontiers of iayti,
waiting for chance to elect himself. Mean
while. Gonzales had also inauguTated himself
Ill a
mountains with an army of thirty seven men,
he surprised Luperon ' lie engaged III little
preliminary and desultory stealing. But al
though Luperon had not fairly organized for bust
ness, he managed to gatherup almost everything
that was movable, including, no doubt, Mr..
Fabens' mclode0n and tracts, and then retreated
INTO Hayti to wait for a new election. Once
over the border the means of grace which
Luperon had cOnlscatcd began their silent but
sleepees influence upon IIaytan society," and 1t
is comforting to believe that they have been
powerful in the pulling down of stronghods
and largely instrumental in throwing open the
doors of the Republic 50 inyltingly to Christian
workers from other lands.
THIS NAV seem like a crcuitOus and cOnjec-
ur,l method Of accounting for the develop
ment Of free religious thought in our sister
Republic but the country will be inclined to
accept this theory most joyfully, because the
search for any bcne!icent result from the
Santo Domingo business has hitherto been so
discourasing. When Prot. Langston reaches
Port-au-PIince he may consider the subject
worthy of his Investigation, and if he should
chance TO hear the strains of " Wndham,"
" Ortonyile" or d" Hold the Fort gushing from
an exotic melodeon, the yindication OF Cen.

The hostile Nez Pegc6s, retreatng before the
forces collected by Gen. Howard in idaho
made their way through the passes in the
Bitter Root and Big Hole Mountains into
Montana. They were encountered on Wodnes-
day by force of 1S2 men under Gen. Glib
bon, of WhOm 30 were ciuzen-yolunteers,
which was advancing to meet them from the
direction of Deer Lodge City. The regulars
and volunteers attacked the camp Of the
savagcs, and terrible fight ensued, lasting
all day. From the meagre news received 1t
appears that the Indians, who probably out
numbered their ASSISTANTS ut least two 10 one,
were wOrsted and retreatcd but the victory,
if victory it was, cost Gen. Gibbon
the loss of nearly half his command in killed
and wounded. The slain numbered twenty-five,
and included three officers, Capt. Logan and
Lieuts. Bradley and Bostwick. Gen. Gibbon
himself and four of his officers are among the
forty-fve wounded
The first impulse on reading of this te rrible
affair, is to censure Gen Gibbon for his apparent
rashness in attacking a superior force advan-

Competition between the rival steamboat lines
TO Harlem has reduced the fare to an equality
with that of the hOrse-cars, and thereby per
formed good service for the public. Racing
the steamboats, is, however, quite another mat
ter, though a natural outgrowth of Che rivalry.
Granting that the build, machinery and piotage
of these boats are all OF the very best, racing
must try them to their utmost, and so far as
safety to passengers Is concerned, reduce all
these advantages TO the lowest point. The most

tention in starting the dummy project was as
a counter-move against rapid transit; but the
device was so readily seen through by the pub
lie that its promoters have concluded to drop
it altogether.

in the Justice of his cause, and that
providential concurrence of events
by which his political fortunes have
thus far been controlled, and now
he looks for support to the weak
appliances of a failing party.
Having abandoned the horns of
the altar for the base strategy of
corruption, it would be by no means
wonderful if he thus ministered to

1t is understood that in short
time a motion will be offered in the
Senate for committee to investi-
gate the charges made by Judge
Spofford as to Kellogg's tampering
with the Returning Board to secure
hiseleetion to the Senate. Should
these charges be sustained the Re-
publicans could raise no objection
to the displacement of Kellogg.
Wheths0 the Democrats when they
obtain control of the Senate will
GUST Kellogg in any event is to be
doubted. Some of them have al
ready expressed themselves on the
subject, and declared that they will
oppose any movement against KEEL

been voted IN by a majority on the
merits of the case, just as Mr.. But
Ter has been, and that should he

that he procured his election by

any other circumstances.

The Illinois Central Railroad
Company expects to be ready to
take consignnents of grain and hog
products for Europe via New Or
leans about the middle of January.
A party of owners and directors of
the New Orleans and Liverpool
Steamship Line are expected in
New Orleans III few days to COM
plete arrangements with the Off
Gals Of tho road to take business
from that city To Liverpool. The
officials of the illinois Central con-
template liking the rate on grain ut
forty ceuts per LOO pounds to New
Orleans, ana seventy cents to Liv-
erpoOl, the same as now charged
by the Eastern trunk lines. They
say this is fair and reasonable
rate, which will pay the road a
small margin of profit. At a lower
rate the company would lose mon
ey and 1T would be no object for
them to go lower, as in such an
event the trunk lines would also
come down, and they would have
no more advantage than when
charging the above-nulued rates.
But they mean to adhere to this
figure throughout the winter, which
will prevent the trunk lines from
making further advance should
they be SO inclined.
