rister or a doctor who had achieved CORE
spending measure of success. Yet although
Journalism, when all the qualities which con-
tribute, to the success in it'are remembered
the disciplined capacity OF work, the we'll
drilled alertness of mind, the quickness OF OBJ
servation, the readiness to seize essential
points, the necessity OF being constantly
in state of intellectual training-is paid far
worse than any other kind OF profession. Only
heaven-bo authors, poets, historians or nov
elists, can hopes to live by the pen without
the assistance of journalism. Yet
il is only in very small percentage of cases
that journalism can be made to lead to any
thing. In ninety-nine instances out of every
hundred the career of journalists resembles
the case of old age--it has no future. The
newspaper writer who receives consulship al
ter Internationally years of unfagging indus
try may esteem himself lucky. He holds his
place at the swords point; and if his attention
wanders, or his courage hinches, or his conduct
fails, the chances are that he collapses In the
struggle. There are those who persist In speak,
genial, reckless, thoughtless Bohemian, bril-
liant, but unsteady; his conversation perpet-
al flow of good things, and his life succession
of charming impudences. The typical journal
list OF the period is a grave, sedate, self-con-
tanned gentleman; who talks little, and who,
for the most part, lives severely by rule; who
is much given to the consumption of Blue
books, and who is frugal leven to austerity in
his habits.
There is in England at the present time a
considerable demand for good political writers
as distinguished from the mere social essayist.
These writers are not equipped fully for their
task without much preparation and careful
prac tice. When preparation and practice are
added to natural aptitude, some measure OF
success may generally be achieved. Success
in journalism is dependent upon the same
conditions as success in any other walk OF
professional life. This fact is now pretty wide
ly perceived, and one of the results of its rec
ognition is the extensive improvement which
has of late taken place in the personnel OF
those who write for newspapers. The oppor-
tunites of the career are gradually being bet
ter appreciated, and in time this will effect a
substantial improvement in the journalists

under the mortgage of the European & North
American R. R. Company of its lands, rail-
way and property, dated March 1, 1869, did, on
application of more than one third of the

Victory All Along the

Victory All Along the
Line.

The glorious Republican victory in the
October States, yesterday, virtually decides
the Presidential contest Gen. Garfield
will occupy the White House after the
fourth of next March and will in all proba-
bility find Republican majority in the
lower house at the other end of the avenue.
Ohio has exceeded all expectations, and
gives to the Republican candidate who
heads the ticket q, 900 majority. Six Con-
gressmen have been gained in that State,
nearly enough to redeem the National
House from Democratic control. The Re-
publicans are confident of one thou
sand majority in Indiana, and the
Democratic Louisville Courier-Journal
whose advices are from the Southern and
Democratic section of the State, comedies it
to them by two thousand. We also gain
Congressman there. Even from West vir-
ginia, Vince nothing was expected, comes
the news of Republican gains.
The.result not only ensures the electoral
votes of Ohio and Indiana to Garfield. It
shows as well that the set of popular senti-
ment is toward the Republican candidate.
The influence of the October vote upon
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
will be great and cannot fail to
place those States in the Garfield column.
The indications now are that Huncock will
not have an electoral vote in all the North,
and that his only support will be from the
13S electors of the solid South. There is no
longer Hancock BOOM 1t is thing of
the past. The volunteer, not the regular,
soldier, the Statesman not the pretender to
craftsmanship, will be the next President of
the United States.
NEW YORK, Oct. --latest returns from
Ohio show Democratic gains in various quar-
tiers but there is nothing to indicate that the
Republicans will have less than 1900 to 500
600 majority, perhaps more, and Is out of the
20 Congressman.
A few returns from Indiana show Republic
can gains. There appears to be "a chance that
the Republicans have carried the State.
New YORK TIMES.
The Republican majority in Ohio, it is
estimated will reach 10000 and may reach
$4,000. The Republicans estimate that Porter
has carried Indiana by a plurality of 1000.
The Louisville Courier journal says Porter
has been elected by 2OcO majority.
