The account given elsewhere Of the status
of the Republican campaign in Ohio confirms
ell the good reports that have been recover
from that State. Mr.. Foster is hard at Woih
already. prominent Republicans from all parts
OF the country are making ready to Jo'h III
the canvass, and there are many indications
that several Democratic suoneholdS VIII
be captured, and that one or two close coun-
ties of which the Democrats have lately had
possession will be redeemed. The energy ana
heartiness OF the campaign are shown IN the
one fact that Judge Taft, Dir. Fosters de-
feated competitor, proposes to take the stump
and worl, hard for his former rivals success.
II is even hoped by the Republicans that the
county IN which Toledo is situated, when mas
been given over. of late years, to Greennack
denominations, will be regaincd. No more
convincing proof of the new vitality OF the
party could be given, and 1t is much to be
hoped that election day may bring 1t forth
The dead body of the butchcred Prince has
been laid to rest with royal hOnoTs. IL the
ceremonies were simple and the military es-
cort a modest one, the presence OF the
Queen at Camden House, and OF four
royal Princes including the Prince OF
Wales, as chief mourHers in the public
ceremonial, and Of other Princes and Princesses,
may be said to have restored the boy IN death
10 the rank he once held in life. With all
the INSTRUMENTATION that has been visible
in England, and is yet there seems to have
still been much genuine grief and much
evmpathy-the latter, no doubt, increased
by the coarse indifference OF Republican
leaders in France to all the claims OF
nationality and all the dictates Of pity. The
refusal to allow the distinguished generals
whom Napoleon ILL., had made MarShals OF
France to attend the funeral of his son was
followed on Saturday by speech i'll the
Assembly resisting motion to postpone
certain subject until the BOnapartists had re-
turned from ChisehurSt, and doing 50 on the
ground that they had not gone there III
response to any genuine sentiment, but " III
"search of a pretender." This extreme coun-
sci did not prevail, but such Outbursts of what
may be called brutal politics must injure the
noble cause which they are meant to help.
The mourning of England over the Prince
has been exaggerated, and it is not surprising
that the French people are somewhat FESTIVE
at such a demonstration. But the Gallo
nature must have changed, II such a1ronts
to the best Of human instincts, as those just
noted, are approved by the mass of the French
people The Prince was, politically, the foe OF the
Republic But he had Inherited this antagonism,
and no man could charge that he had ever done
any dishonorable thing. His death made his
cause so weak that there was 10 danger IN
being generous to his memory, ana the man
ner of his death, more fully described in our
London letter than before, was most ptiful,
most dreadful lie died with a wonderful
courage, turning, when he saw escape was
hopeless, to face a score Of savage spears.
1t seems strange that even political bigOts
should erudge so brave a boy his last hOnOrs.
