Special TO the Cincinnati Gazette.
COLUMBUS, October l.-some weeks ago
figures from the returns OF the last State
and Congressional election were submit.
ted in this correspondence, showing that
on the basis Of the former vote the Re-
publicans can elect this year seventeen
Senators and fitty-seven Representatives;
that on the basis Of the latter vote they
could elect nineteen Senators and sixty
Representatives; and that by including
one Senatorial district the number OF SEN.
ators could be increased to twenty.
This estimate allowed nothing for Losses
or gains from changes in the National
vote. Since that time the Republican
party has been thoroughly organized.
With two exceptions the organization in
every county Is reported and known to be
better than ever before. Reports from ever

Republicans are making large gains from
the stay at home class, from the Demo-
cracy, aud especially from the Nationals.
y Is an undoubted fact that the 5000
National votes polled q year ago were
made up principally OF former Republi.
cans that the Democratic party
lost but mere trife from that
vote, and the Republicans very largely.
This year there are few, whether Repub-
ilcans or Democrats, who figure on
larger National vote than ten or twelve
thousand: In such counties as Wood
which polled National vote, OF over 600,
At least 400 are confidently claimed by the
republicans OF that neiehborhood, who
have the means Of knowing their sent-
ments. In other counties Of the north
west and In the southwest the same condi.
ton Is confidently reported. From all the
present indications combined, the num-
Der ot Senators can be increased to twen-
y'one, and the Representatives To sixty.

fears entertained by Republicans are from
colonization and importation, q system Of

WHAT THE SOUTH NEEDS.


More school Books and Less shotEuns.
NEw YoRx, October 2.-The report Of
the General Agent Of the Trustees of the
Peabody Education Fund states that the
necessity for the Federal Government
granting some aid to the Southern States
in their efforts to educate the ignorant
classes is greater than ever before, as the
evils that grow out OF the popular igno-
rance spread blight over the whole coun-
try. With 1000 900 Of children still with.
out means Of instruction, the danger OF
the situation Is apparent. The school
population Of Virginia is 2S0,349 white
and 2O2, $50 colored. OF these but 203, 900
were enrolled in schools in 1873. In North
Carolina the school population was 273,-
767 white and l4s,61S colored: total en-
rollment, 900.
