THE OHIO ELECTIONS.

There was more than usual interest
i'm the result Of the Municipal elections
i'm Ohio, for the reason that they might
possibly ioreshadow the political status
of territory that is regarded as an inn
portant factor in the coming National
campaign. But the more the results
are scrutinized with this view, IN the
different localities Of the State, the more
unsatisfactory will they appear. In
fact, they give nothing more than the
usual indications Of the strength or
weakness OF the local and personal con-
siderations which enter into such con-

purely political influences were in any

PROVISIONS OF THE ARMY BILL.
The new army bill which passed the
House on Saturday last and which has
been the occasion of so much "revolu-
tionary'' talk, appropriates, in round
numbers, about S26,SOO,0O0 Its pro-
visions in detail may be summarized as
follows:
1t leaves the army in strength and or
sanitation as now; it abOlishes allow
ances for servants quarters, but raises
the communication for officers quarters
from $40 to Sl2 per room per month; 1t
contains Gen. Buffers railroad tele-
graph clause, as agreed to by the con-
ference committee of the Forty-ffth
Congress.
The second section provides for the
codification and issue of new edition oil
the army regulations. The third sec
ton gives the officer detailed as exam
iner of State claims, in Mr.. McCREARI $
office, and pay and emoluments OF a
grade higher than the one he actually
holds. The fourth section provides Tor
consolidating the Spanish and French
professorships at West Point, under the
remaining incumbent, on a vacancy IN
either. The fifth section offers to each
member of the next two graduating
classes at the Military Academy, $3.50
and mileage to his home, in lieu OF elig-
Utility TO appointment in the army for a
period of two years after graduation.
The sixth section is the "rider" over
which the struggle occurred and simply
strikes from existing army functions
the one of keeping the peace at the
polls. There were no changes or amend
ments 10 this section, and it stands as
passed by the last and reported to the
present House. The seventh section
authorizes the detail of an officer not
above the rank of captain to superln-
tend certain Indian education. The
eighth repeats the existing law requiring
military headquarters to be in Govern
ment buildings. These two sections
passed without question, having been
approved in the previous Congress.
The ninth and hast is a cOnglomerate
section, OF much Importance. 1t pro-
hibits promotions, until otherwise pro
yided, above the rank OF captain, except
in the Engineer Corps, and except III
cases where captains have served TWEEN
ty years in the army; it credits all OIL
Gers, in army or navy, with their actual
time of service, in computing pay; II
prohibits the transfer OF any officer be-
low the rank of major to the retired list
except upon the report OF board thai
ne is unfit for active service.
The bill is not likely to undergo any
material change in the Senate, and VIII
probably be sent to Mr.. HAYES IN IT.
/ present shape.

THE REVOLUTION" AS DEFINED
BY REPUBLICANS.

Nobody rcvolves in the Democratic
revolution" like the leader Of the Re
publicans in the House. Nobody sue
ceeded, during the debate in the House,
in more conciscly defining the dimen-
sions of the blool Curdling revolution
into which the Democrats were precip-
itating the country, than GARFIELD him
self. In his last speech upon the ques-
ton OF attaching riders to the apprO-
priation bills, he said;
The House has the constitutional
right To- put rider on the bill; II has
the constitutional right % pass the bill
50 loaded and send il To the senate; the
Senate has the constitutional right To
pass il also with the rider; il can b.
cOnstitutionally sent 10 the President,
and he may, in accordance with the
constitution. sign il, or he may veto il,
and when he does that the constitution
provides that unless two-thirdS of both
Houses pass il over his veto il shall not
be law"
Then again during the speech of Mr..
TUCKEK he Was Intercepted as follows:
Mr.. Tucker should like To ask the
gentleman from Ohio Mr.. Garfield
whether he did not say in his speech
the other day that he was not opposed
IN the legislation proposed by the ma
jOrity on its merits"
Yes, sir, replied Mr.. Garfield. "If
the clause prohibiting the use Of troops
AT the NOllS was in a separate bill |
would vote for il. ,"
Every well. " said Mr.. Tucker, ''the
gentleman admits that on its merits the
section should be repealed, but because
oi the methods the President should We
TO the bill"
A loud burst of applause greeted this
exposure OF the true inwardneSs Of this
foolish fight the Republicans are max

DRoUTH VS.. THE WHEAT CROP.

The season has been unusually dry
in some lOcalities-it is not necessary
to say that it has not been universal
We could spare a little moisture that
has been shed hereabouts. But in
some Of the Eastern as well rs Western
States, the drouth has prevailed To such
an extent as TO create fears Tor the
wheat crop. The Chicago Tribune states
that in Kansas, Missouri and Texas
there is grave reason to fear large fall
ing OF Of the wheat crop, for want Of
the moisture necessary 10 nourish the
growing plant.
IL is claimed by many that, even il
rain should fal Immediately, the yield
will be under the average; while few
doubt that the result would be serious
il rain be much longer deferred. The
area OF wheat culture in those States is
now 50 large that total failure of the
crop would make considerable differ
enoe in the aggregate yield Of this coun-
try. But total failure is by no means
probable; and, ii it did occur, the world
would still have enough to eat,
though the result would be very
disastrous to the jewellers in the
States referred to. Wheat and other
cereals are now grown so extensively
that scarcely year passes in which
there is not a partial failure somewhere;
and the conditions Of soil and climate
have such vast range that it is hardly
possible the cereal yield OF the world
should be more than partially impaired.
The meteorological conditions OF the cur
rent year are not uniavOrable, thus Ear,
to the raising Of good crops over all buts
comparatively small part Of the civilized
world.

He Forgot His Wine.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
The other day man with satchel
called into ferry dock saloon wherein
fifteen or twenty old salts were lying
about their adventures on the high seas,
and after warming his hands at the stove
he said to the bar-keeper:
''Sir, am the agent of a French wine
house, and 1 should like to sell you a few
barrels of a brand now over 100 years
old''
The saloonist thought he wouldn't in
vest, and the man took pint bottle from
his satehel, held it up to the light, and
looking around on the crowd remarked:
"Gentlemen, this is a sample of wine
over 100 years old. Ihave no doubt that
you will all do me the honor to taste it,
A perfect shower of tobacco guilds and
half consumed cigars fell on the big stove
hearth, and the crowd had its mouth all
ready, when the agent scrutinized the
bottle and said:
"Ahl am mistaken. I left the wine
at the hotel and brought the hair invig-
orator in place OF it! Gentlemen, please
remain seated while go and fetch the old
wine.''
At the end of a long hour he had not
returned, and one of the victims slowly
arose and said:
'sGentlemen, you hear me! If meet
that man on the street will kill him
and drink his hair invigorator to the last
drop!"

New Orleans sin co the Prague.

New Orleans once more feels something
of the joy of life. Since the plague left
her, "trade," says the Democrat, ''has.
multiplied to remarkable degree"
From the head of Ninth-street down to
the lowest limit of the river front the ac-
tivity seen is "almost unprecedented.'
In the upper portion of the water front
there is "literally forest of masts.'' The
number of sea-going vessels is larger
han has been seen there for many day,
if the like has ever been seen before. A
steamship from Rio has just discharged
cargo of twenty-one thousand seven hun
dred and fifty sacks of coffee, and is now
taking in cotton and grain. One vessel
is diseharging English bricks and tiles,
and another, bound for Bordeaux, is tax
ing on slaves. A German Llovds ship
and two Italian vessels are loading with
cotton, grain, and tobacco. At the head
of one street lies ''a vast quantity of cot
ton," which is destined for Havana. Six
large steamships are lying close by, and
two barks, which are taking on cotton.
At the barge-landing several boats are be-
ing unloaded of ''immense quantities of
Western produce.'' All over the land
ing are quantities of corn, oats, and flour,
so that in some places locomotion is diff
cult. One river steamboat, on her last
trip brought down seven thousand five
hundred bales of cotton. At Canal-street
the levee is CANNED and Uttered by bar
rels of flour, hogsheads of sugar, and
bales of cotton" At the sugar sheds
''scarcely any available space is unoccu-
pied" In other parts of the city return
ing life and activity are no less apparent.
Business streets are " filed with vehicles
laden with merchandise" going towards
the depots, so that the din of the heavy
chariots and the hue and cry of the dri-
vers endeavoring to thread the maze of
trading wagons is perfectly deafening."
In one day a firm sold for cash to country
merchants more goods than for an entire
month previous.
