ACTUAL land lighting between the
Egyptians and English began on Mon
day, at Ramleh, nine miles from Alex
andria. Arabi's troops evacuated the
town Sunday night, and it was occupied
by the British in the morning, who had
but little trouble in driving off the cav
airy and taking possession of the pHmps
at the water reservoir, which was the
object of the expedition. The re-
cennoissance developed that Arab has
large and well-armed force behind the
strong defences on the sandy peninsula
that extends eastward from Alexandria,
and it seems not improbable as has been
declared, that England may need force
of 10000 men to successfully fight the
insurgents. Arabi's letter of defiance to
Mr.. Gladstone, in which he threatens a
holy war, and the discovery that he has
been in constant communication with
the Pan-Islamic leaders at Constantine
pie, lend color to the theory that En-
gland is undertaking very serious task.

Of Arabians congregated Ollie rebel

THE tone of our exchanges indicate
that Ohio Republicans are satisfied with
the ticket and platform made by the
Democracy at Columbus last week. The
failure to pronounce for or against any
of the questions at issue in the canvas,
will not carry the Floating vote to the
support of the Democracy, nor will the
straddling and evasions of the platform
satisfy law-and-order Democrats in CON-
muniIies such as our own. The contrast
between the two parties will become
more striking as the canvass progresses.
