Special To the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, October tS.-The interest
here as to the Ohio electoniis on the in
crease, and Republicans are becoming
more and more confident of a rousing
victory. Letters are daily received from
leading Ohio Republicans predicting Fos-
ter's election, and such news is eagerly
sought after and discussed by all parties.
General Raum, who is actively engaged
in the canvass, writes back that Foster
have 10000 majority. There is a good
deal OF confidence in Raum's opinion, as
epretty accurately predicted the result
in Maine while engaged in the canvass
there.
Richard Smith writes that itthemaiority
is not 10000 he viii be disappointed.
1tis remarked hereas quite significant
that sporting men can get no bets against
Foster. At previous exciting Ohio cleo
tons there have been bets here, but there
are none this campaign, rs Democrats will
not put up their money. A Republican
member of Congress from Pennsylvania
says that all interest there is centered on
Ohio, and il Foster is elected by large
majority, there will be no fight in Pennsyl-
yania, but walkover for the Republicans,
Among Southern Democrats here there is
much gloom and despondency. In
private conversation they do not con-
ceal their apprehensions- as 10 Ohio,
and their fear II the Republicans carry 1t
by large majority it will blight Demo-
cratic prospects next year. They. now see
the follies Of the extra session, as it made
tens OF thousands votes against the Dem
ocratic party, and SO lar as heard from not
one for 1t. Among Democrats here gen.
orally there Is much more interest over
the fight for the Legislature than the Gov
ernorship, because six years term in the
Senate is involved. II the Democratic
party should encounter a series Of Ma
tional reverses, which now seems proba-
bic, there is great anxiety here among
Democrats to hold on to the Senate, as a
check to complete Republican control.

DESPERATION ACROSS THE RIVER.
Efforts orthe Democracy TO save the Sc,

Efforts Oft Democracy 70 Save the Sen
at0rshIp.
Special TO the BaiunO'e AmerIcsn Of yesterday.
WASHINGTON, October THE latest ad
vices received here from Ohio are to the
effect that the Democrats are rapidly los,
ing all hope Of electing their state ticket,
and are concentrating their strength and
energies upon the legislative districts, in
order to at least save the legislature, and
thus secure the United States senatorship.
The defeat Of Ewing and the election Of a
Democratic majority Of the legislature on
joint ballot Is, regarded here as likely TO
bring about bitter contest for the
senatorship. The friends OF Gen. Ewing,
In the event Of his failure in the contest
for governor, are understood 10 be deter.
mined to antagonize the reelection OF
Senator Thurman to the Senate. They
have reason to suspect that Sena-
tor Thurman's managers and agents
are disloyal TO the state ticket, and are
secretly striking bargains with the Repub.
licans, by which, In the close districts,
Democratic votes for Foster are being Of.
iered in exchange for Republican votes
for Democratic members of the Legisla-
ture. II the result should confirm these
suspicious, then the friends Of General
Ewing threaten 10 spare no effort to
ayenge this duplicity by in turn defeating
Thurman for the Senate, which, they say,
they will do even II they are compelled 70
resort To the extreme Of forming Combi.
nation which will elect Republican Of a
conservative tendency. The Ewing men
here express themselves in such bitter
terms against Thurman and his followers,
that any one would imagine that the Ohio
election was an event Of the past, and that
the hapless Ewing had already been laid
low in the dust. Mr.. Thurman's position
is, therefore, anything but pleasant. The
probabilities are, however, that the sweep.
ing Republican victory Of Tuesday next
will render the threatened attack in his
own camp unnecessary.

WARRINGTON, October s.-Senator Hill,
otGeorgia, has returned from New York,
where he has been laboring to promote
harmony in the Democratic party. Sena-
tor Hill thinks it Of the very first impor-
tance that New York be saved to the
Democratic party, but he is greatly dis.
couraged. While in New York he talked
freely with the leaders OF both factions,
with the result that he greatly fears the
breach can not be healed. He takes no
stock in the declaration Of the Robinson
men that they will gain as much from the
Republicans as they lose through Kelly's
bolt. Senator Hill is Of opinion that they
will gain nothing from the Republicans,
merely because they are split up among
themselves.

Many of the Eastern papers are de-
handing the appointment of General
Grant as Minister to England to- sue
csed Welsh. Though, perhaps not as
highly accomplished as Charles Francis
Adams, who held the position for years,
or as skilled in the mysteries of draw
poker, as Schenck, who is yet kindly
remembered by all aristocratic British
ers, who are successful at the game,
Giant has qualities which would be ap-
preciated in London. The duties of the
office are not onerous and are generally
attended to by attaches of the legation.
The salary is ST., 500 year, enough to
support handsome establishment, and
is better than taking the desperate
chances of running for third term of
the Presidency.
1t is probable that the efforts of the
the New York Herald and other papers
to get him the appointment will be
warmly seconded by John Sherman and
James Blaine, who recognize in him a
formidable obstacle to their Presiden-
tial aspirations. Hayes, too, who, it is
whispered, is not averse to being re-
nominated for a second term, may be
anxious to get him out of the way, and
in all probability has, ere this, rendered
him the place. Should the General. ac-
cept, as he will be most likely to do
unless prevented by those who, for the
spoils of office, advise him. contrary to
all the traditions of,the Republic, to run
for third term, the Senate would un-
doubtedly confirm his nomination with
out dissenting vote. Many Democrats
as well as Republicans are anxious to
get him out of the Presidential race,
and this is the best opportunity to. do
SO that is likely to be offered. The po-
sition is. one to which an ex- President,
may aspire without detraeting from his
dignity or bemeaning the office he : has
illed, and if the Republicans, who con-
trol the administration, act wisely, they
will tender it to u. S.. Grant.

A WOMAN HANGED.

The unusual spectacle of the. execur
tion of woman was witnessed in Wads-
worth prison, New York city last
Wednesday. The woman was Kate
Webster who murdered her mistress,
Mrs Thomas, some time since. The
The crime was of the most atrocious
and revolving character. Mrs. Thomas
was murdered, her body cut in pieces
then boiled and the bones afterwards
broken to hide all traces of the murder.
The culprit confessed her guilt ON the
scaffold and said she had no accomplices
either in the commission of the crime
or the disposal of the remains of her
victim.

now To. CAPTURE RHE SOUTH.

The New York Herald, suggests how
she Republican party can be made
rational and assured OF the votes of sew
aral of the Southern States in the next
PRESIDENTIAL campaign as follows.
Now it is fact that for various
reasons, partly of self-interest, partly,
through natural revulsion against the
extreme and defeated doctrine of State
sovereignty, the majority of voters in
Louisiaaa, Arkansas, Mississippi, Ten
nessee,-. Florida. South and North
Carolina could very easily be brought
into such agreement with the Repub-
Hcan party as. would secure these States
TO that party next year. They want a
national, quarantine; they want Govern
ment help to establish steamship lines;
they want the General Government 30
improve the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries; they want aid from the Govern
ment for railroads.; they want harboxs
improved, and the Florida ship, canal
built. They are sore toward the
Northern Democrats because these
have constantly for. three years,
refused them almost all these things,
and on the distinct ground that tire
Federal Government ought not to in
terfere in such matters. Republicans
may say that they will notsbuy support,
ont that is nonsense. All these are,
according to Republican views, legiti-
mate objects of Government support.
They have only to declare a, policy in
consonance with their political prinoi-
Piles to sweep the great part of the
South next year, and make their party
truly national organization, strong
enough all over the South to set at rest
forever all questions about the negro.

Diana Powellson, of Rosedale,- Kan. i,
has frequent deathlike frances, lasting
half an hour or longer, during which
she shows nosigns of life. She thinks
that she really dies, going to heaven
and then returning to earth. She says
that she meets spirits. who tell her that
they had to repent OF their sins over
there before they could advance, and
were unhappy until they did so. But
afterward they are engaged in learning
and growing brighter, and are taught
by spirits brighter than the rest. The
spirits have NO wings, but wear flowing
robes, and are ordinary men and women,
some bright and beautiful, and Others
lean and miserable They have no
voice, but their thoughts can bs, read.
