How the People Talk, Eat and Dream Of
Politics.

cratic paper).
New YoRK, October 10.-For several
nights past the Republicans have been
taking bets on Indiana at $1,000 to 500
freely, and offering odds on Ohio. None
OF the Democrats here claim Ohio, and a
considerable number are dubious about
Indiana. On the whole public opinion is
ready to hearof Indiana going Democratic
by about five thousand majority and Ohio
Republican by about the same.
Colsnei Macauley, Of Indiana, got here
last night, and he says the Indiana Cam
paign is an intolerable affliction; that the
people eat politics, dream politics, talk
politics and have no change OF diet. He
says the women are as intense in Indiana
as the men. He thinks that State will 60
Democratic BY a few thousand majority.
He thinks possibly Porter may be elected
and the rest OF the ticket lost He says
that Mr.. English continues TO be unpopu-
lar with all the other emocrats-that 1t
was never dreamed that he would leap
into the nomination Tor Vice President,
for otherwise there would be no election
at all in Indiana this fall. The Judges OF
the Supreme Bench, contrary TO the will
OF the people expressed upon the new
Constitution, ordered an election this fall
to oblige Tom Hendricks, who thought
that 1t would make him candidate for
President. Colonel Macauley says:
Hendricks was punished for his illegal
scheme by losing the nomination, bel
treated with all but contempt by the
National Convention, while a man who
never did any thing to conciliate any
body, rich or poor, vaulted into the second
place on the ticket as an IndianIan, and
stands ready, II Hancock should fall of
the horse, to both ride and drive"
Colonel Macauley says that English is
one OF the best business men In the West,
and as q politician and statesman has no
superior. He Is a man both Of views and
principles concerning the conduct OF the
government, and they are not far from
those oil sound business men, whether OF
South or North. But his success has in.
spired hate among the old political cabal
around the Bates House. Macauley says
he went into Hendricks room the other
day and said: "Mrs. Hendricks, have
lust been walking with one Of the most
distinguished and able Democrats in the
United States" "Who Is that?" asked
Mrs. Hendricks. civilian Il. English" :"
I replied. At this Mrs. Hendricks put up
both hands and exclaimed aloud, as il |
had named Guy Fawkes or Ben Butler.

Republicanism, in 'ejectment, last satur.
day at Jackson, o. He addressed the
citizens as "Gentlemen Of the Jury" and
as the meeting was at the Court House,
the legal form in which the argument was
presented was in keeping with the sur
rounding. His reasons why the Democracy
should not have o writ Of ejectment were
very ably and forcibly presented. This
county will give 400 10 500 Republican
majority, q gain Of at least 200. 1t has

weekly Review OF the Market by the
"Mark Lane Express"
LONDON, October 1.-THE Mark Lane
Express, in review Of the British grain
trade for the past week, says that in con-
sequence OF the heavy rains throughout
England the remnants Of the crops still
outstanding must be considered Of no mar
ketable value. Threshing has been en-
tirely suspended, and wheat in stacks has
suffered somewhat, but the present posi-.
ton ia favorable for an advance in all
kinds. The grain market has been de.
cidediy in favor of the sellers. Friday
there was a very small supply of English
wheats, particularly marketable qualities,
which have been tending upwards during
the week and sold readily at one shilling
per quarter above Mondays rates. Damp
and inferior qualities were very difficult to
sell. There was good consumptive de.
mand for flour. but an advance OF sixpen ce
to one shilling per sack was paid very un-
willingly. Barley sixpence to one shilling
dearer on the week, and oats sixpence
dearer.
The provincial markets are very firm.
By Saturday the advance on the best
wheats and barleys in many instances
was two shillings on the week. Foreign
advanced by the small arrivals and the
active continental demand has been simi.
lar. American reds and foreign whites
generally advanced one shilling. The de.
mand, however, was purely consumptive.
Indian and Australian were strongly held
for an advance on the finest -four OF one
shilling to two shillings per sack, but
there was not much activity. Maize and
oats rose sixpence. Sales English wheat
during the week 50,ll0 quarters at Ala,
against l9,36l quarters at 4ss. Sd. for the
corresponding week last year. The i'm
ports into the United Kingdom during the
week ending October 2 were 725, ,5l7 cwts.
OF wheat and 1857 cwts. Of flour.
