in which n similar victory this Fall may nave
n like result with respect to the campaign OF
1880. Since Pennsylvania went over to the
majority and ranged itself with the Novem-
Der States. and Indiana degeneratcd into
steady Democracy Ohio has become the
weather gauge of National politics III even
= more conspicuous degree than before.
The result is such as to encourage Repub-
leans everywhere with high hope that thc
Democratic conspiracy against the LXecutNe
branch of the Government will be rebuked
even more promptly thar was anticipated
The Associated Press dispatches state that IN
Cincinnati where the largest vote ever cast
at Spring election was pOlled, local queS-
tons were not considered, and the issue, IL
is generally conceded, was upon National
politics. the result being that the Republic
cans have carried the city by large ma
iorities. In Cleveland there was sweeping
Republican victory. In Toledo the Nationals
were successful, and maintained Their
usual majority, showing that the Demo
cratic attempts to win the third party
back to their old allegiance have failed. In
Columbus, the overwhelming success OF the
Republican candidate was due partly To
rally of good citizens against the lawless ele-
ment which stood behind the Democratic
ticket, but it can hardly be that the result
was not in some measure stimulated by the
general Republican triumph. Out of twenty
seven towns reported, the Republicans carried
seventeen, the Nationals three, and the Demo-
Gratis but seven.
Ohio Is also the State of the chief Anti
TiIden candidate for the Democratic nOmlna-
ton next year. These loud prophecies OF
coming Republican victory will have, in his
ears, a dOleful sound and they will furnish
to the lucky old mar! of Gramercy Park an
other occasion to remind his party that the
electoral vote of New-York is essential to
DemOcratic success.

As to the other details of this new COM

1t is said that a person passing late last
night through Gramercy- square, overheard
Dick Deadeye rehearsing his part, repeating
" Ila bal they are foiled, foled. foiled."

4 BEITER WY.

The planters along the lower Mississippi
appear to have adopted plan for stopping
the negro exodus that is characteristic if not
effective. They hang or shoot a few intending
cmiglants as a warning to others, and patrol
the river banks with shot-Suns TO prevent
the fleeing blacks from getting on
board passing steamboats,. These bull
doing measures only serve to intensity
the negroes desire to escape, and they manage
to evade the patrols and board the boats at
unexpected points. Committees appointed by
the planters notify the captains not to take
away the cOlOred people, but the captains
are eager to swell the profits of their trips.
and few of them pay any attention to such
orders when out of the range of the Com
mitteos shot-guns. Thus far all attempts to
check the movement have only increased ii.
Suppose the planters should now disDand
their patrols and committees, put away their
weapons, and try new policy. A little jus
lce humanity and common sense would, we
venture to say, prove q perfect remedy for
The evil Let the planters of any locality IN
vlte their labOrers 10 friendly conference,
and then let them talk somewhat in this way :
You have a hard time to make living,
"pohhcal rights. We admit that we
"haye not always treated you fairly,
'but we mean to do better in future.
"We want you to stay and work our lands.
" We can't get along without you. Now we
"prop05e to give every head OF family five
"acres of land for a homestead. We will
"put a low price on it. and you can pay for it
"in five years, or if that is not long enough
"you can have ten. You can cultivate your
Gown little patches Saturdays, raise your
" corn and little cotton, and thus make
- some money beside what yOu earn Oh the
"Dlantaton. You shall not be bulldOzcd any
"mOre. We will protect you, and go with
you to the polls and see that your votes
"are received and honestly countcd.' A
Httle talk Of this kind, backed by an evident
lucndlmess or feeling and a genuine disDOsi-
ton to defend the rights ana secure the wei
fare of The colOred people, would, we are con-
fdcnt, allay the emigration fever at once, and
cause tie discOntented negroes 10 return TO
their cabins AID begin work on the new
crOp with n checrfulncss aud energy
that would surprise their employers. The

though he were a mule; let chem Try the cx-
pertinent of treating him ike IL man. He

The great Spring trade-sae is going on auSpi-
ciously, and shows, however dull other departments
Of business may be- that there is still good mar
ket for books of which the American people prob
ably use more than any other in the world. Books,
indeed. form remarkable species Of merchandise.
Absolute noceSsarics, Ike clothing and provisions,
they cannot be called and yet the demand for
them is just as steady If they were OF entirely
practical utility School books, IT Is true, may be
regarded rs Of prime necessty-that IL, If semnaries
and their work is to 90 on. Yet books of poems
and novels sell almost as well. The publisher is
lust as sure that a great many will want the works
of Dickens, OF lhackeray, of Cooper, of Tennyson,
or of LOnpfeow, a. that they will want Bibles and
Hymuals, Law Reports, or Treatises on Medicine.
Hero 10 evidence that people think almost as much
of their brains as of their backs or stomachs. They
will read indeed, we may almost say that they
must read-if not for instruction, then for amuse-
ment aud to pass the time. The half million
volumes which viii 90 to the trade this
week from the publishers are bought to
sell again, and will drift into countless homes and
be read by innumerable eyes. This is evidence, If
not of any profound scholarship, at least OF intel
lectual activity. OF the seed thus soWn nobody
can predict accurately the growth The cause may
be- the same, but the effects not only multitude
nous but mutifarous Mental activity may take
unexpected forms. The great reader may turn out
himself maker of books, or a foremost mechanic,
or a leader of public affairs. What is certain is that
from the beginning he is. saved from intellectual
sloth and possibly from gross and degrading pleas
ures. The worst novel, so it DC ceanly, is better
than beer-bibbing and what usually comes Of that.
The booksellers now in New-lork know their Gus
toners at home, and buy according to that knowl-
edge They could tell Us, if there occasion for
them to do So how eagerly their purchases Will be
SCANNED upon their arrival, and what an impetus to
booksellng the trldc-sales will give. All this is
clearly of good and encouraging import.

Ay0rHER COUNTY HE4RD FROM.

| 6NDIHEh tOtNIi hEb"D f'''"'
| The Committee appointed to Investigate the
official conduct of the late rulers of Sussex
County. n. j.. have at length reported to
the Board of Chosen Freeholders through
! the local newspapers. The Committee spent
month in examining official papers and accounts
| and about as long in maturing their report which
| is luminous, vouminOus and uncOmmOnly polite
document.
| Thoy find that the County had accumulated n
debt which amounted TO about $40 600 n year ago,
with very little to show for it. and that consider
able amounts OF the money raised by taxation hah
gravitated into pockets where 1t didnt De-
long Eut they deal gently with the errng,
not even mentioning any of them by name.
Abuses have crept ill.," they say in mild and for
giving way Directors of the Board OF Frceholders
have audited bills without due scrutiny. Clerks
of the Board, FreehOlders Themselves, AssoSsors,
County Canyassers and pretty much everybody
else who had "A chance to get their fingers
into the treasury, have construed the laws III
liberal spirit and fobbed about as much as they
could conveniently get away with Tho Committee
believe that there was or less loose
ness and irregularity in tho management Of the
affairs of tho County House prior TO 1876"
and this general charge of looseness and irregu-
larltyr might have been extended SO as to cover
without injustice the entire management of the
county government.
But notwithstanding all these damaging de-
tails for tho Committee make no atSmpt
at concealmenN, the document is super
saturated with Christian charity. The
Democratic officials have been careless, hut If they
oyorreached now and then they probably didn't
intend to. No doubt this is the safer view to take
Of these peculiar transactions. 1t is wiser and bet
ter to err on the charitable side than to bring accu-
sations of guilt where the intention does not
clearly exist. The county ought not to suffer
for the odlum brought upon the neighborLood by
the couspiraces and r0bbeTIes which have dlsgraced
the adjoining County Of Warren. And yet the agi-
tation has been wholesome. The Committee picked
yp enough money which belonged to the county,
but which had never found its way into the treas
ury TO defray all the expenses OF the in
yestigatiOn and 1t is worth noting that
since the lights have been turned on the county
expenses have been reduced about one-third
It IL worth noting also that there bas been another
report besides the one made by the Committee he
people reported with surprising energy at the polls
a month ago, breaking up and cleaning out the old
nest of jobbers who have had their way-and bad
way It was-fCr the last twenty years. The result
of ali tins will be n lower tax rate, diminishing
debt. and amOro watchfd supervision OF the county
affairs.

ENTRRTAIEdENT.-With the worthy object In
view of assisting the building fund for the Kauma-
kapili Church. several ladies and gentlemen of ar
tistc culture propose to give an evening entertain
meut at the church, consisting Of music and tab
leaux, tomorrow Thursday evening at haf-past
seven o'clock. Judging from the programme 1t
promises to be a charming entertainment Two Of
the tabeaux will be taken from the book of Esther
First, Ahasueras the King, at the Feast with his
bles aud princes around him, where he orders the
presence of Queen Vashti. Bible readers will re-
member that the Queen refused to grace the feast
with her presence which, from our modern stand
point was proper assertion of her womanly dig
nifty as early assertion of woman's rights, was
sad failure; for she was dethroned for her disobe-
dicnce aud after time her place was filed by the
beautiful Jewess Esther, who was instrumental in
saving her people from the Vaccinations of Haman,
whom she denounces al private banquet 10 the
King This forms the subject OF the second scene.
The story OF the Prodigal Son will also be repre-
scented in two scenes-frst, his departure from
home; next his penitence and the touching recep-
ton by his father These scenes, with their oriental
richness of color give ample opportunity for strk-
ing and beautiful effects. There will be also two
scenes from the Merchant oil Venice First the ex-
quisite cAsket scene where the gifted Poria awaits
with eager anticipation the iateiul decision OF Bas
sano; and next, the trial scene, where Shylock is
denied the dreadful penalty of bis bond There will
be some burlesQue scenes to enliven the evening,
with piano and vocal duets and solos 10y some OF
our best resident amateur performers, kindly as
sisted by some late arrivals. The attractive pro-
gramme, the talent enlisted and the worthiBess OF
the object will doubtless attract large audience.

TIE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS EXPRESS The
GRATIrupR.

TIE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS EXPRESS THEIR
GRATITUDE.
dispatch from New Orleans, dated last December
the 10th, says: A mass meeting was held tonight
at the Varieties Thestre, attended mainly by leading
aud influential citizens and presided over by General
Frederick Ogden. After address by Chief Justice
Manning, the following resolutions were adopted
Resolred By the people Of Neto Orleans in nass-
meeting assembled, That the annals of human suffer
ing and human sympathy show no parallel to the
active benevoence exhibited by all classes Of our
feow-countrymen toward the city of New Orleans in
its late affection Not merely the naked clothed,
the starving fed. and the sick and dying mnistered
to, but our darkness cheered and our sinking
spirits sustained by charity which descended like
some heavenly messenger. bringing healing on its
wings TO them that ready to perish. The first
cry of distress had hardly gone up from our terror
stricken community before the agonizng cry for help
was answered across the broad expanse Of vast
continent. From North and South and East and
West. the tributary streams of benehcence rolled in
one unebbing tide of OVERLOOKING generosity. Into
the valley Of the sha dow of death in which we walked
it poured its life giving waters, fresh from the gush
ing springs of human affection Never before has
any people been the recipient of so grand charity ;
never its impressive lesson Of humanity be for
gotten.
Resolred, That In this universal testimony of our
fellow country en-, that one forevermore in
| woe as well in veal, recognize the benignant
voice of a great people, which should silence with
/
who for igneble aud selfish ends would arouse once
more the clamors of sectional discord ; and de-
clare unanimous sentiment, with the unaffected
sincerity Of grateful hearts, that no difference of po
litical creed can weaken and evils Of designing
politicians sever, the ties which bind by the most
sacred and tender memories in the bonds of poti-
cal brotherhood. one and indissoluble.
| Resolued That in the heroism and self-sacrifce
Displayed by the physicians and nurses, who at the
of many gallant spirits, faced the deadly
of the pestence in their mission of humanity, and
in the utter sef-abnegaton of that gallant soldier,
| the late Lieut.. Benuer Of the United States Army,
we acknowledge with for their fate and graft
tn lie for their devotion the surprising love of whose
depth and sincerity they gave this highest proof
that they laid down their lives for US.
ResoLued. That those friends in foreign lands who
go freely contributed to the relief Of our people,
| whether of kindred alien nationalites, most
| fervent thanks due, and hereby rendered.
Resolved, That to all societies. corporations and
companies, as well as to munities and individuals
unnamed, who in great distress aided us by word
act, the people of New Orleans, with heart,
feel gratitude unspeakable.
