alarm about the way things are going on in
Ohio. 1t evidently has little faith in Calico
Charley and his yardstick, while it fears
Ewing's commanding power and influence.
But the Cincinnati Commercial tells the
Tribune that it is too breezy" and adds:
There Is no great trouble in Ohio. Ewing
is defeated. He was beaten when nomi-
mated, and has been failing rapidly ever
since. The people of Ohio are conscious of
their power and conspicuity." If the Tri-
bune was too breezy" the Commercial goes
to the other extreme. and whistles to keep
its courage up. 1t proclalms the defeat of
Ewing weeks in advance. This is foolish

setting toward the United States pretty
strong, and is likely to reach unusual mag
nitude in the immediate future. Among
the immigrants who arrived In New York
last Monday in the steamer Helvetia, from
Liverpool "were "a persons, including eight
families from YORKSHIRE. Each of the heads
of the families had about f3Oo each, and all
were of a much better class than are usually
found at Castle Garden. All but II of the
party will sail for Galveston, Texas, on
Wednesday by the Morgan steamer. In
Texas IA will settle at Lillian and the rest at
New Philadelphia. They say that the crops
IN England are worse this year than they
have been for 20 years, and consequently
they became discouraged and determined to
try their fortunes in the United States.

NAPOLEON, though he died in exile, was

which he had slowed away in Amsterdam,
Frankfort and London. He knew how to
rob like carpet-bagger. and Napoleon Ill.
inherited the stealing proclivity to won
