WASHINGTON Oct. Z, 1882.
The democratic Congressional cam
paigu committee has very hatteriug re-
ports from Ohio, some of the leaders i'll
that State claiming that the democrats
will not only carry the State but will
elect seven certainly, and possibly ten
members OF Congress. Since the nomin-
alton o. Cleveland in New York by the
democrats and the admission by the New
York republican newspapers that his
candidacy is a strong one, the committee
is advised that gain in the Congression-
al delegation will be made in that state.
The same adYices are received from
Pennsylvania. The several hatteIing re-
ports inspire Secretary Thompson, of
the committee, with an abounding con-
fidence that the democrats will certainly
have a majority in the Forty-eighth Con-
gress, which will enable the party to con-
troll its organization, Certain it is that
other leading democrats are of the same
opinion, and there is already speculation
as TO who will be elected Speaker, clerk
aud sergeant-at-arms. For the Speaker
ship, Of course, ex Speaker Randall will
be candidate. Should Pennsylvania
90 democratic this fall it would place
him in very commanding position to
win. His chief competitor will be Hon.
John S. Carlisle, OF Kentucky. whom it
is thought will get the bulk of the south
ern vote The nomination OF ex-Clerk
of the House, Adams by the democrats
of the 9th district OF Kentucky puts him
out Of the race for the clerkShip, rs he
will no doubt be elected to Congress
The most prominent candidate spoken of
Tor the place is Representative Martin, of
Delaware, who will be strongly supported
II the speakership goes 20 a candidate
west of the Alleghenies. Mr. Martin de-
clined a Congressional denomination.
Should Ohio go democratic ex.sergeent-
alarms Thompson will be cant idate
for his old place. He is managing the
pending Ohio canvass, and il he sucet eds
IN winning the State, his cleims for his
old place will no doubt receive just con-
! sidera,ion, To look on the other side of
the picture, the officers of the republican

Every man should remember shat
the privilege of the elective franchise was
not conferred to assauge personal griev-
ances, but to vindicate and sustain prin-
ciples involving good government
Theodore Doll, brakeman on the
Lehigh Valley railroad, was struck by
that famous Hokepdauqua bridge span
ming the track, while his train was pass
ing under it the other day, and was Sc
verely injured about the head. This
bridge has been the cause of many acci-
dents to brakemen AMI it is time that
something is done in having it raised OF
removed.

FROM OHIO.
Democratic Majority 25, 900.

COLUMBUS, ct. 1l.-As the returns come
in the Democratic majority increases. The
Democrats are claiming the State by from
$4,000 to 10000 majority and the Repubii-
cans are inclined to concede something like
10000. The returns show that the Repub-
licans were entirely at sea on all their cal
culatlOns. They had carefully figured it
out that their only losses would be in the
cities, where the German vote is strong,and
they confidently expected TO get the bulk o!
the Prohibition vote. 1t seems, however,
that the Prohibiticnists would not trust
either party and the indications are that
they have not ouly stuck solidly by their
ticket, but have gained conside rable vote.
The temperance issue raised by Coy. Foster
therefore worked disadvantageously to the
Republican party. 1t not only lost them in
the German vote, but it increased the Pro-
hibtion vote materially.
The Democrats gain all through the coun
try, where the liquor question had no effect
whatever as an issue. The honest countrypeO-
pie have recorded their votes against the Stall
wartlsm Of the Arthur Malone Chalmers
administration. They could not forget the
shame which this combination had brought
upon the party since the death of Garfield,
and they haye stamped their protest not
only upon the face of the State ticket,
but upon the Congressional tickets as well.
lhe Democrats have thus made great gain
of Congressman, and Chairman Nash, OF the
Republican State committee, figures it out
t. night that he can put down for sure only
five Republican Congressman just the num-
Der of Democrats in the present delegation.
The returns from the Congressional dis
tricts indicate that the Democrats have
elected lG Congressman and the Republi-
cans Eve, as follows. Present members are

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR STATE
SENATOR.


Mr.. Biddis, the Democratic nominee
for State Senator, was born OF humble
parents, in the year 1916, at Milford, Pa.
His facilities for education in his young
er days we're limited for he then had to
struggle with adverse fortunes. Later on
he gained common school education
after which he entered Electic Hall, an
educational institution, situated at Mil.
ford, at that time. From this institution
he graduated in 1859 with honors. Fol
loving his graduation he entered the law
office f the late L. F. Barnes. and after
a few years of assiduous study and close
application to Blackstone Kent aud other
great writers on jurisprudence, he was
admitted to the Pike county bar in 1867
Soon after his admission he was appoint
ed District Attorney for the county and
elected to the same position four times
in succession. He is the leading lawyer
ut the Pike county bar and few cases, OF
any gravity, in his county occur in which
he is not interested or engaged as the
principal counsel on one side or the other.
His popularity, strength and standing at
home is exceeded by no man, as the pri-
maries, which elected him unanimously
for Senator, of his own county, attest.
He is a forcible speaker and an able man.
His constituency need not fear that be
will betray the confidence of the people
reposed in.him. He will makea canvass
of the District and then the people, by
arranging meetings, will have the pleas
ure OF meeting and hearing him.

Congi essional committee laugh at the
idea of the democrats securing the next
House of Representatives. They are
willing to concede slight loss in Ohio,
but feel confident they will more than
over-balance it 10y expected gains in the
South.
A circular was issued in all of the de-
parimeuts to-day granting leave of alb
sence for ten days to such of the en-
ployes as desired TO go to their homes to
vote It was stated that this leave would
net be subtracted from the annual va
cation Of thirty days, and it seems to be
very popular on this account. Every
employe that can spare the money for
trip home will take advantage of the
election leave, as it is called, and such
as are impecunious will be assisted by
their State associations. Where the con-
test appears at all close lists have been
prepared of the employees credited to the
State in which the fight is to be made,
and agents are careful to go through the
department and check off each voter and
ascertain his intentions Such thor
ough canvas has not been made for many
years. and those who decline to go home
and vote are marked men, At any rate,
the campaign managers cannot be charg-
ed with lack of Zeal, and the army of
employ es in the departments must vote
or lose their positions
President Arthur seems to be living a
sort Of go-as-you-please life at Alexan-
dria Bay, setting at defiance all the rules

public take the best possible care of it.

 These are the main charges against the treasurer. As will be seen on consulting the report, they consist more of acts of omission than com. mission.

Gen. Sherman as a Presiding
 Officer.

Those who would learn how to run political caucus had better take note of Gen. Sherman's style of pre- siding and conducting the machine at the army reunion. Here it is:
 "The meeting will come to order An, yes! nodding to an officer about to rise |, Gen. Hickenlooper moves the appointment of committee on credentials taking a paper from his left vest pocketl., The committee will consist of Gen. Hickenlooper, Col. A. and Major B. We must be speedy, gentlemen, in arranging these details.
 "Gen. Smith-Did 1 see Gen. Smith rise" A voice: "He's gone out for a moment" "Well, never mind; it's all the same. Gen. Smith moves the appointment of commit tee on resolutions, and it will consist of taking a list from his right vest pocket Gen. So-an9-So looks blank l. That's not the committee either. That list 1 just read is an other committee, and it will be moved later. Here's the right one reads it You see, gentlemen, we get our young staff officers who have nothing else to do to fix up these things in in advance
 A voice, "Move to adjourn" The chair: 70 no use putting that mo- tion. We must fix these prelimina- ries first l have three more con- mittees prepared here"
 And so on, in cheerful disregard of ordinary parliamentary practice, the General announces the details fixed up in advance, puts motions prearranged, ignores inpromptu mo- tions, and "runs the convention till it gets going" and then allows otEer voices to be heard. And it is anus. ing to him thus playing caucus chaIrmaiI.
 The General has a horror of second-wind oratory. Upon the oc- casion ot one reunion, where a pol itical orator caught his seventh wind and occupied two hours, Gen. Sher man, who followed him, sad: Il have listened with intense patience to the eloquent gentleman who has now sat down." This equivocal compliment the General subsequently desired t4 amend to intense interest"

 It has been judicially settlcii hat the man who repeats islander orig mated by another is Eeld equally liable in the eye Of the law with the fabricator. Formerly it was held that by the commoa law the retailer of another's slander, if he gave the name of the originator at the time, could plead that fact in his defence. But now, when man propagates q siander, whether he be the dupo or the accomplice of the original cul. prit, he is held equally liable with the fabricator of the islander. While the original tortfeasor was an object of detestation, his dupe or accom- plice became an object of pity as well as contempt.
