Republican Ohio.

The Democratic brags from Ohio
have all proven moonshine. In the
election Tuesday there was a mod
crate republican gain In almost
every poll heard from, and it is
thought Foster is elected by about
$4,000 in the largest vote ever
polled. The legislature is in doubt,
with chances in favor of the repub-
licans. This majority may be re-
duced by the vote of back counties,
where the democrats claimed larg
er gains. About onefourth the
State was heard from at l o'clock
yesterday morning and the repub
lican gain was 1900.
Iowa sends up a republican ma
jority of over 10000.
In Newark, N. j., the democrats
elected their Mayor.

The Fortunate Trust

OF Lawyer, who promptly collects a
$4,000 prize, which cost his client 81.
David d. Terry, the well-knOwn law

No. 81 ,9l3, which drew the second cap
ital prize of $4,000 in the Louisiana

SEPTEMBER 8, and said:
ayes, held whole ticket No. 81. 81 3

flee of NJ. A. Dauphin, 3I9 Broadway,
New York. l forwarded it through
Adams Express for collection, and re-
ceived $4,000 in cash without deduc-
ton. l would rather not tell the name
of the further possesSor of the money,
since it would be a breach of conf

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The
railroads do very well in America
for a new country, but, sir, they
can't come up to England yet in
the matter of speed. The Flying
Dutchman" on the Great Western
every day makes fifty five miles
in eighty seven minutes, and for
shorter distances makes seventy
seven miles an hour. The Irish
mail makes every day forty miles
an hour for 400 miles, and from
London to Glasgow is made in ten
hours, at forty and one half miles
an hour. Let American engineers
do that before they begin to talk,
you know. They're young yet in
making 'em climb.

Pious Plunderers.

Washington Post: The scoun-
drels who managed the Freedman's
bank and robbed the confding ne
groes of their little savings. aggre-
gated into an immense sum, cut the
terminating proof of their guilt out
of the books of the institution.
This is what Senator Bruce discov-
ers in his work of investigation. Yet
when those rascais were stealing
the funds and mutilating the books
they gave much of their time to
fervent prayer that the Lord would
bless the poor benighted negro
and curse the wicked rebels 1t
may be that they thought they had
a fair claim to the money in pay
ment for their prayers.

More Temporizing Recommended,

Col. w. p. FOLEY, of Lincoln
county, has addressed a lengthy
letter to Col. Frank S. Wilson, oil

The letter is published in the Nash
vile Banner. Col. FOLEY advoca.
ted acceptance" in the last contest;
Col. Wilson went might and main
for rejection" Col. Tolley thinks
he 'heard something drap' on OF
about the 7th of August, and the
point and substance of his present
letter is, that both factions must
agree to ignore the question next
summer in order to prevent an ire
parable split and disaster in the
Democratic party of Tennessee.
The Nashville Banner takes pretty
much the same view, and cOmmends
the Lincoln county Statesman and
eulogizes the Senator from Sumner.
We hesitate to dissent from such
high and respectable authority, but
Col. Tolley and the Nashville Ban
ner are mistaken. A studied at
tempt to ignore and jump the State
debt question in the next canvass
will inevitably precipitate the result
they seem anxious to avert. That
doOge has been repeated until it has
become a stencil in the nostrils OF
everybody, at home and abroad,
and we marvel that Col. FOLEY
could be guilty of such an absurdi-
ty. In the name of all that is SEN
sible, if the Democratic party has
not the capacity and moral melt to
lay hold of and settle a question of
such vital and far reaching impor-
lance, how can it expect to retain
the confidence and support of the
people? Let us hope there will be
no more temporizing or lodging an
issue which will have to be settled
at last and which only grows and
enlarges by postponement. The
plea that FIVE or ten years hence tAe
people will be better able TO pay
twelve and a half millions, is not
worth a thought, and we hope the
issue will be fairly and squareiy
made in the next legislative cleo
tions. It's got TO be disposed of in
some way, and the sooner the bet

The South Still Solid.

Washington special to the Gin
cInnati Commercial: Southern
Democrats laugh at the story sent
from here to the effect that they
tear the loss of Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and Florida at the next Presi
dental election. They declare that
these States are as safe as Georgia
or Kentucky. The so-called ''inde-
pendent movement" in Mississippi
gives them no concern whatever,
for upon all political issues and in
national compaigns the indepen-
dents will act with the straight
Democrats and vote the regular
Democratic ticket. The so-called
independents in Georgia all an
nounce themselves as ready to sup
port the regular Democratic nomi-
nee for President. They are only
"independent'' as to State matters.

Mr.. Donnan, the United States
Consul at Belfast Ireland, in a dis
patch to the Department of State,
confirms the reports of other Con
suls as TO the alarming deficiency
of the crops in the United Kingdom.
When the great famine occurred in
1S45 the crops of England and
Scotland were fair. Very different
is the case now. Disastrous re-
ports come from even the most eel
ebrated of England's agricultural
counties. In the first week of Sep
TENDER, when the sickle, the scythe
and the reaper are usually in active
operation, the grain is hardly color
ed. Not only the potato crop is
deficient, but the almost equal i'm
portant roots, turpips and mangols,
are this year a failure.
