The ohio Victory.

In last weeks issue THE LEDGER
announced that Ohio had given a
Democratic majority Of ten thous-
and, electing ten out of the twenty
one Congressman. Later returns
give the State to the Democrats by
twenty-five thousand majority. The
Congressional delegation will stand
fourteen Democrats til sesen Reraab1
icans. The effect on Indiana, Penn,
sylvania and New York will be
great. 1t is now conceded by both
Democrats and Republicans that
the next House Of Representatives
will be Democratic. The result in
Ohio was brought about by several
causes. The last Republican Legis-
lature gerrymandered the Congress
ional Districts in the interest #
their party-that and the Hubbell
corruption fund disguised the peo-
pie. Then the State Republican
Convention attempted to force the
temperance question on the public,
and most of the Germans voted with
the Democrats. The Cincinnati
Enquirer says the victory has been
accomplished through the Demo
cratic name, and it is Democratic
victory; but it places heavy respon
sibilities on the party, and justifies
no strut by the party leaders. tt
the allies of Democracy belong 8
large share Of the credit, and far
seeing politicians and statesmen
will not forget where the praise
should lodge, and will bear in mint
the duties and responsibilities i'm
posed. tss' ~ b 'a,'a- Isl -

George w. Curtis. the editor. Of
Hsrper's Weekly. has. written let
ter to the secretary of the New York
Civil Service Reform Association, in
which he says:
Judge Folgcr's ability and charac'
ter arc not in question, but his nom
ination is. That nomination was
procured by the combined power. oil
fraud and patronage, and to sup
port it at the polls would be to &C
qniesce in fraud and patronage Is
legitimate forces in a nominating
convention. Every good citizen il
bound to resist to the utmost such
wrongs to free institutions, and the
only effectual way in which the vo-
tiers can emancipate themselves from
the corrupt and debasing rule of the
machine is to defeat its candidates.
This, I believe, will be done decls-
lively by the Republican voters Of
New York and Pennsylvania at the
election this autumn. They will see
their party defeated rather than
fraud and corruption of patronage
triumphant. Events in both States
show that no graver political peri
now confronts the country than ths
complete subjugation Of the party
By unscrupulous cabals which bride
with public employment and pay
their way by filching from the pub
lie treasury. This is On evil which
will end in vioiencezunless it is con
clusiyely rebuked by the people a

WASHINGTON, Oct i5.-The Post of
tomorrow morning will publish an
interview with Col. Robt. c. Inger-
soil, embodying a number of affida-
Wits which he makes public for the
purpose of showing that several Of
the jurymen in the late star route
trial were corruptly approached by
employees Of the Department Of JUS
tice, and that these employees regu-
larly reported their proceedings from
day to day 10 the department or
some officer thereof.
William Knox Brown, one of the
star route jurors, swears that man
named Arthur Payne offered him
$4,000 for the conviction of defend
ants.
Thomas r, Foote. of Washington,
swears that he was present when
Payne was employed by Thos. H
Fab to corrupt the jury, and Ed
ward Taylor swears that he heard
Brewster Cameron, of the Depart
ment of Justice, engage Fall" as a
special agent to manage negotia-
tons with the star -routejurors.
In the interview affidavits are pre-,
sented from the jurors-Brown Hol-
mood and Dlckson-and from Thos.
Fort, James A. Nelson and Major
Richards. The purport of all the
afiidavits Is that Fall and Bowen,
two officers of the Department Of
Justice, attempted to bride certain
Of the jurors, and that the amount
offered in some cases was as much
as, $2,5OO. 49, s-e s.s.s

A special to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat from Washington,
Of the 18th inst, says: 49,
Henderson, Secretary Of the re-
publican congressional committee,
is probably one of the worst disap-
pointed men in Washington over the
result in Ohio. ..-..
'sIn conversation tonight, he at
tributed the republican defeat in
Ohio largely to be criticisms by the
republican press of Jay Hubbell's
assessment scheme. He says the
bowling of the republican papers
about the 2 per cent taken from the
office holders, is what did the bust
ness in Ohio. He was asked if these
howlings would effect like result
in New York, Pennsylvania and In-
diana. He declined to answer the
question"

Buffalo Courier: Samuel j. Tilden
takes his place along with Horatio
Seymour, who has, like him, served
the State with fidelity, led the party
with honor, and received the tribute
Of Republican hatred and abuse.
Mr.. Seymour WAS long obliged to
struggle for the boon Of rest and
quiet. So it has been with Mr..
Tilden. Young and enthusiast site
admirers refused to 'acquiesce in his
withdrawal from the political field,
but persistent refusal to play the
active and ambitious politician have
at last convinced everybody as in
Seymour's case, that a sincere man
is speaking the honest wish Of his
heart in asking to be allowed to
spend his age in retirement. To-day
everybody puts full faith in Mr.. Til
denis declaration that he has done
with mere politics. In bidding him
hail and farewell as a leader it is
hardly necessary for the Courier,
which has so long sustained him
to make empty prostestation of its
regret and admiration. His politi-
cal aim has been one Of truth, puri-
ty and wisdom; and in his retire
ment the county has lost.the servi-
ces or the best equipped public man
of our day. sts4s @ sk8isi

Ohio ElectiOsa.

Special to Times-DemocDat.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-John G..
Thompson, of Ohio, arrived here to.
day and of course has something to
say about the recent Democratic
victory in Ohio. To Thompson be.
longs a great deal of the honor OF
that victory. He is in high spirits
and says that the Democrats are
certain to have a majority in the
next Legislature in Ohio. He says
that the Democrats will manage
matters so as to hold the German
vote with them. He says the defeat
of the Republicans by such an ov-
erwhelming majority eliminates
Deacon Richard Smith, Gov. Foster
and Senator John Sherman from
Ohio politics. 81
He says the Democratic victory
was also the deathblow OF the Nc
Lean faction in the Democratic par
ty. Thompson says that the mar
row majority OF two or three of the
Republican Congressman who, are
now understood TO be elected is sus-
picious, and that he thinks an in
vestigation will show conclusiveiy
that not more than three Republic
can Congressman we're elected. He
thinks q Democratic House will do
justice by fixing the Ohio delegation
in the next Congress at Is Demo
Gratis and 8 Republicans.

A Slight Disturbance:

The Wesson Herald is one of the
hottest Democratic papers in the
State. 1t lent valuable assistance
to the Democratic cause in the last
campaign, and is still doing good
work for the party. 1t believes in
treating all opponents to Democra
cy alike. 1t has had occasion to
frequently allude to A. w. Burnett
an Independent, of Hazlehurst
Some Of its language towards him
has been rather severe. In fact SC
much so that correspondent pub.
lished a reply in the Signal of Oct
9th, defending Mr.. Burnett against
the Herald's attacks. Mr.. Forsythe
editor of the Herald, took umbrase
at the article in the Signal and re-
piled to it in strong terms, in his
issue of last Saturday, Oct. 14th.
We are informed that as soon as
the Herald reached Hazlehurst con
tanning Forsythe's reply, thai D.
A. 3. Pitts sent Mr.. Jack Wheeler
to Wesson to inform Forsythe that
he, Pitts, was the author of the
communication published in the
Signal, aud that he demanded that
tue offensive language used III the
Herald should be retracted. For
sythe replied that he had no retrac,
tion TO make. Sunday evening
Wheeler returned to Wesson and
gave Forsythe sanother letter from
Pitts. An eyewitness says it re
questcd Forsythe, if brave man, tc
be at the six mile post, on the Ha
zlehurst and Beauregard road, a,

the bearer that his place OF business
was Wesson, and, he could always
be found there when wanted.

Business Troubles and Morphine

BUSINESS xfOu01e0 ana MX0fDnAnG
Throughout the Mississippi val
ley during the past few days the
mania for suicide has prevailed to
an alarming extent. Every day we
hear of new cases, and many of
them prominent men. The follow
ing is from the Times Democrat:
George c. Randolph, a member OF
the firm of Fields & Co., at Ripley,
Miss, committed suicide yesterday
at Holly Springs. He ate dinner at
the hotel at l o'clock and retired to
his room, leaving word with the
clerk to call him at 4. On going to
his room at that hour he was found
dead. An empty paper was found
on the floor which was marked 20
grains Of morphine, indicating the
cause of his death. The deceased
was formerly sheriff of Lincoln coun-
ty, Ark. 1t is supposed business
troubles prompted the act, as he
was interested in contract for
building a portion of the Memphis
and Selma Railroad.

Our Greenback friend, A. T.

Galloway, of the Appeal, in Mem
phis, few days ago. They we're
seated in the sleeping car and dis
cussing Senator Harris speech.
Galloway liked the speech but Win:
berly did not think much of it, and
gave his opinions in his usual can
did way. 1t is said that Galloway
took exceptions to some Of Wimber-
ly's remarks and cursed him. Each
pulled his pistol, and somebody
might have been a corpse but for
the interference Of an officer of the
law. Galloway lett on an eastern
bound train and Wimberly was ar
rested. A'reporter of the Avalanche
says: .
The evidence given by officer Mcfarland
in the police court was that he heard the
fuss in the sleeper. He saw Galloway come
to the door and heard him call somebody a
son of b--h. He went in and saw VIM
