The Ohio Election.

Those who expected Ohio to go Dem
ocratic, at the recent election, were sad
ly disappointed. Foster, the Repubh-
can candidate for Governor was elected
by a majority of about 10000. The
Republicans also elect a majority OF the
Legislature. The result ofthis election
destroys the aspirations OF the OHIO
candidates for the Presidency. Fosters
election was not a surprise, but 1t was
thought that the Democrats might re-
tain control Of the Legislature ana elect
the next United States Senator. The
Republicans endeavor to magnify the
result Of the Ohio victory and some even
think It will control the presidential
election. This docs not follow as Ohio
has for a number of years cast her cleo
toral votes for the Republican candi'
dates and can not be counted upon as
Democratic State in q Presidential
campaign.

Indian Atrocities and Depre.
datiOns i'm the Far West.

SAN FRANcIsco, Oct. lG.-A. dis
patch from Tucson, Arizona, says a
special dispatch TO the Daily Star
from Silver City contains the follow
ing: "the Indians have been commits
ting terrible depredations in the Rio
Grande Vally and southwest of Fort
Cummings for several days past. The
people of Colorado City have been
besicged and fighting since Saturday,
and appeal for aid. On Sunday avol-
unteer company thirty men, under
Captain G. Crouch, went from Mesilla
and Cruces to their aid. They met
1870 Indians near Colorado City, eigh
teen miles from Slocum's ranch, on the
side of the road. After severe fight
the volunteers were compelled to fall
back. They had a running fight into
Slocum's ranch The killed in this
fight were w. L Jones, county clerk
of Donohue county, and four Mexi-
cans. On receipt Of the news at Mes
silla two companies of eighty men
were raised, commanded by Col. Ryn
erson, and composed of the best men
in Messilla Valley. The companies
were to join Crouch's command to-day
at Slocum's and go to Colorado City.
Two trains were captured yesterday
on the west side of.Slocum's. In one
Of them II men, l woman and child
were killed, but in the other all hands
escaped. Both trains were scattered,
and some Cttha oxen were killed and
others left standing in their yokes.
The stage from the east arrived this
morning two hours late. The num-
Der OF people kuoEn to have been kill
cd within the past four or five days
reaches an aggregate Of about forty.
The Iudian trail leaving the stage road
yesterday leads towards the Black
range and the vicinity CT Hilsbcro'
mining camp. Major Morrow, Of the
ninth cavalry, with a strong scouting
party, is thought to be ia the vicinity
Of Colorado City. This is the most
persistent fighting the indians have
been known to DO in this section. The
Indians are in large bands aud seem
determined to stay iu the country and
make 4 general warfare

Gen. Merritt and command returned
to camp on White River, COL, three
miles north Of the agency, Thursday last
orders from Washington beng to sus-
pend operations against the Utes and
await orders eitherat White or Bear
River, as NEGOTIATIONS for peace are in
progress, i! being understood that the
hostiles have ayr cd TO surrender tie
warriors engaged in the recent depreda-
tons. On this point, however, there
arc conflicting opinions. In the event of
peace being established it is altogether
probable that permanent military
post will he constructed either at Bear
River or the agency. Adyices from Los
Pinos to the l4th instant state that a
council OF chiefs Of the Southern Utes
was III session there, and chat the In-
dams were eucamped around Chief Gu
rays house; that the women and GILL"
dren are safe. but probably will not be
given up until after matters are arraDg-
ed with the peace commissioner" or
special agent expected from Washing

TIE UNITED STATES SENATE
Only five changes are required to make
the United States Senate a tie in 1881.
Thurman will be succeeded by repub-
lican, but there will be a stand-ol' with
the democratic Senator who will be
chosen to succeed Senator Bruce. The
gains which the republicans hope to
make are IN the successors to Senators
Herman, of New York, Eaton, Of Con.
necticut, Mcdonald, OF Indiana, Ran
dolph. OF New jersey, and Wallace, Of
Pennsy lyania. Ifthcy make gains in
all these cases the Senate Will be equal
ly divided, aud Tor the democrats TO
have a majority Kellogg you'd have to
be ousted. Davis, of Illinois, is not
included in the calculation, because it
IS not known where he stands when tie
two parties are so closely divided

DISAPPEARANCE OF THE TRAMp.-A
New York letter says: Zone OF the
most noticeable incidents Of the pre-
sent general improvement in business
and Industry is the almost total .disapr
pearance Of street mendicants from the
highways aud byways. The professional
tramp also appears to be thing OF
the past. lie is well-nigh invisible.
The commissioners Of charity, more
ever have fewer applications tor re
lief than has been the case in many
years, and az the police stations the
testimony is uniform touching the rap
id decrease Of aiter-dark suppllanis tor
lodgings and food. These are impor~
tant facts. The inference is that all
that class If persons are now finding
employment, AMI are in no further
need OF charity. All the leading man
ufacturing establishments in and about
the city, is well known, are increasing
their hands, and some OF them are
running undl late in the evening to
complete orders. The tobacco taclo
rles, which employ vast numbers of
people of both sexes, are notably busy,
as likewise the upholsterers, the plum =
bers, the cabinctmakers, the boot and
shoemakers and the clothing manufac
turers. 1t is a public and private bless
ing that everybody should thus be at
work, and, il the Improvement can be
maintained on its present basis, we
may look forward for a comfortable
winter for the working people Of ev-
cry class,

Daniel Hentel and Thomas Hontel,
arrested some weeks ago at Covington,
Allegheny county, Va. for passing
counterfeit com, were indicted at this
term of the U. 5. District Court, now in
session here, and to-day were convicted.
They were found in possession Of about
a peck Of counterfeit quarters, plaster
mould, ladle and a quantity ef prepared
metal. They were detected at Cow
iDgton by their suspicious behavior,
being found at the bar-rooms, fancy
stores and lawn festival buying small
articles and having their bogus coins
changed. Becoming very much inloxi-
Gated and careless, their operations
were stopped before they had exchanged
much of their bougus coin. They will
be sentenced, doubtless, to the Albany
penltentiary at later day Of the court,
