THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

A writer in the Cincinnati Commercial
Is not so Ssnguine of carrying the next
Legislature as he is certain Of the cleo.
ticn of Charles Foster. We recently
called attention To the fact that although
Hayes was elected, in 1857, by small
majority, that a Democratic Legislature
was chosen, and Senator Thurman elect
ed. In 1873, Governor Allen was the
only Democrat elected of the State ticket,
and that by about 900 majority, yet the
Legislature was Democratic, and Senator
Thurman reelected, Taking the vote
of 1878, when the State gave Barnes,
Republican, 3,I54 majority, and the ap-
poEtionment for 1879, we find the Legis-
latare Democratic. Hamilton county,
last year, went Republican, yet had 9
Legislature been chosen the Democrats
would have had a majority, showing
chat it 10 possible for the Democrats to
elect a Legislature without Hamilton
county, but, judging from the vote of
last spring, Hamilton will go Democratic
this fall by handsome majority.
The following counties can be depend
ed upon as solidly Democratic, as sure
to return Democratic Representatives:

WHEN Hon. Charles Foster was down
in Coshocton county, and made speech
to the Republican County Convention,
A. M. Williams presided. The Demo.
crat says:
I'm his introduction Mr., Williams tried
TO give Mr.. Foster q certificate of good
character. The strongest point he made
in behalf of his candidate was, that he
(Foster) had stayed at home during the
years OF the war and sold calico at 65c,
that said Calico Charley was selling as
cheaply as calico could elsewhere be
bought. This was Wiliamss strongest
point made in Fosters behalf, and ii ac-

HE TAKES PRESENTS BUT GIVES
NONE.

The Sultan of Turkey has shipped for
General Grant two full bred Arabian
horses ofthe kind that in those coun-
tries are esteemed above all price, Simil-
ar presents were made to Jackson, and
we believe some other of our earlier
Presidents, but were refused. Grant
was the first American President who
ever accepted a gift, and in his semi.
official trip around the world he seems
to lose no opportunity to accept of all he
can get
Among the Eastern nations this Gus
tom of making gifts is very prevalent !;
but these gifts are only nominal gitts,and
the receiver is expected to give in return
something of equal value. This is we'll
understood by the English Government,
and in some form or other the presents
which have been made to the Viceroys
of India or to the Prince of Wales dur
ing his visit to that part of his future
dominions were scrupulously returned
But this ex.President of ours who
goes trsmping around the world, accept
ing prinCely and regal hospitalities, ac-
Cepts without returning. Of course
nothing will be said that we shall hear
but American character loses in estina-
tion. If this is their great sultan, these
people will reason, the Americans must
be a niggardly and mean-spirited nation.
