WASHINGTON, October l4.-The smoke has
cleared away from the BATTLEFIELD OF Ohio, and
we can now not only see the result, but ar
rive at the causes which influenced or caused
that result. In 1880 Garfield had $4,000
majority over Hancock, and of twenty rep
resentatives the Republicans bad fifteen, the
Democrats five. Now, in 1882, the Demo-
cratic State ticket has over 10000 majority.
OF twenty-one representatives., the Deme-
Gratis have fourteen, the Republicans seven,
and the majority for the Democratic mem
bers is larger than that for the State ticket
The Republicans say their defeat was all
due to the liquor question, that the Germans
left them on that issue That is not the
whole truth. The Republican losses in the

REsUMED-AN INTERFERING FEATURE.


REsUMED-AN INTERESTING FEATURE.
WASHINGTON, October 16.-The examina-
ton of Lieut.. Danenhower was resumed be-
fore the Jeapnettee Board of Inquiry this
morniog. An interesting feature of the pro-
ceedings was the introduction in evidence of
the log books of the Jeanette and the origi
nal muster-rolls and charts, with the tin
csses in which they were carried by Capt.
Belongs party through their desperate and
hopeless wanderings in Siberia. The papers
all bore marks of the severe Usage to which
they bad been subjected. Several were al
most entirely illegible. The original plans
of the Jeanette before the alterations were
made upon her and the plans showing the
repairs and alterations made at the Mare
Island navy-yard were put in evidence and
were identified by Danenhower.
Lieut. DanenhoWer was asked 10 give the
names, rank and grades of the ships com-
pany, which he did, referring TO the ships
books to refresh his memory. He stated
the entire company, on leaving San Fran
CISCO mum bered thirtY-two; that the China
man, All Sing, was discharged at st. Michael,
Alaska provided with passage back to San
Francisco, and Alexy and another 1ndlan
were employed to accompany the expedition
SIS hunters aud dog drivers; that the COM
psny numbered thirty-three, all told, when
the Jeanette entered the Arctic ocean. Wit
count of the cruise from date of leaving San
Francisco, July S, 1879, until she sank, June
Is, 1881, and began his narrative, using the
ships log for dates, aud to refresh his memo
ry The incidents of the voyage were briefly
touched upon, and at ESQ o'clock p.ul., when
the court adjourned for the day, Lieut..
Danenhower reached that point in his nara
tive when, at IL 10 O'Clock pm, August 80,
1879, the Jeanette entered the Arctic
nd laid hor
cape of Wrangel Land las then called.
He will resume his story tomorrow
morning. The proposed order of inquiry
into the loss OF the Jeanette is as follows:
First the condition of the vessel on her de-
parture from San Francisco; second, her
management up to the time of her destruc-
ton; third, her loss; fourth, provisions made
and plans adopted for several boats crews
upon their leaving the wreck; fifth, the eff
forts made by various officers TO insure the
safety of the parties under their charge, and
for the relief of other parties; sixth, the
general conduct and merits of each and all
OF the officers and men of the expedition.
