The Ohio Election.

The result of the Ohio election was not I'M
expected. The prior indications We're that the
vote would be close. with the chances in favor
of the Democrats. The temperance question
was the leading issue in the campaign. The last
Legislature undertook to Law tax upon the
liquor traffic and to prohibit the sale of intoX-
cants on Sunday. This legislation. no doubt.
lost the Republicans a large percentage of the
German vote. Following the customs of the
Faderland. our German citizens like to spend
their Sundays in the beer gardens. The Demo-

the manufacture Of liquor; while the temper

counting the votes and returns to date are
meagre and incomplete. The Republicans claim

From Cherryticd we had disagreeable ride

quarters. In our look about town we found, as

| improvement was being made in old buildings,
| and that new ones We're being erected. The
| sardine factories here do quite business, and a
large number of hands are employed during the
busy season. Attending the sociable for the
young folks at the hall we had an opportunity
| to see and converse with Saba Means the cam
nibal girl that was brought from the Philippine

| and boy were brought to the vessel by the ma

offered to see that the meat was properly dress

of food, and having the feelings of humanity
stirred in his bosom by such barbarity. pur-
chased the children Of the cannibals, and not
wishing to keep the girl, gave her to Capt.

and has been educating her in his family. She

Gen. Waldo's Burial Place.

brief paper by Joseph Williamson. Esq. of this
city, on The Burial Place of General Waldo
Gen. Waldo. proprietor of the large tract of
land in Maine known As the Waldo Patent, died
suddenly near Bangor, May %. 1859. while up
on tour with GOV. Pownall for the purpose of
establishing fort on PenobSco1 river He was
buried at Fort Point where Fort Pownall WAS
then being built. Mr.. Williamson says: 1T is
generally supposed that the remains of Gen.
Waldo continue to reposc in their original
burial place. At the centennial celebration Of
the first settlement of Waldo county, held July
%. 1859, on the site of Fort Pownal, the spot
was eloquently alluded to by the orator of the
day. and in speeches. as containing The ashes of
the proprietor from whom the county derived
its name Local historians have since extended
this belief" Mr.. Williamson finds. however,

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS ON THE
OHIO ELECTION.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat
says:
1t will scarcely be contended by
any fair man that the result Of the
Ohio election was based upon the
opinions of voters with respect to
national issues. Republican prophets,
while somewhat hopeful, in the alb
sence of the customary data for call
culations, stood aloof, being unwil-
ling to risk their reputation in such
q sea of unknown quantities. Demo
cratic prophets, on the other hand,
were confident. But as they always
assume that attitude, especially in
Ohio, no especial sagacity need be
attached to their representations
1t was, however, the general expecta-
ton that the Republicans would lose
largely in cities, while the probability
of gains in the rural districts was
held forth to Tighten the prospect.
These hopes haze proved fallaciOus
The Democrats have carried the
State on the temperance issue, which
was brought squarely before the
people as 1t had never been brought
before 1t is not what might be
called all overwhelming Democratic
victory. The margin of majority is
not so large as not to hold out the
lively suggestion that, IN the present
march of events, will be speedily
overcome.
The tide of feeling against the
Republican party in the State arose
from the legislation of last winter
affecting the liquor traffic The
laws passed were not prohibitive, as
is generally supposed throughout
the country. One of them SIMPLY
placed tax on hquor,dealers, and
another provided for the closing of sa
looms on Sunday. The first law was
subsequently declared unconstitu-
tional by the courts, for the reason
tuat anything that can be construed
into licensing the traffic is forbidden
by the State constitution, and this
tax was pronounced IN effect a Ii
eense. The Sunday law was thus
the only practical act that remained
| in force to arouse the storm thai
burst on Tuesday at the ballot box
| There was sufficient combination
| of church and state and anti-beer IL
this enactm Mt to drive the Ger
mans over to the Democrats. 1t ap
peared to assail religious freedom
and personal liberty at the same
time, and gave the saloonists strong
lever to work with, which they usee
| for all that it was worth. Matters
were wrought up to fever heat
! and it safe to say that the liquo'
