CUNNINGHAM, the alleged dynamiter,

now In progress, will escape only by the
greatest possibilities, If he is that for

force have chased imaginary dynamiters
so often that real one is bonanza OF

The Soudan,

The arms Of England must not fail
To put such foes to flight;
The Arab h0rdes, that now assail,
And there resist her might,
Though gallant Gordon fall afur,
And with his army die,
She must roll back the tide of war,
Maintain her prestige high.
Then soon shall Brittons meet the foe,
And scatter them In fight,
And lay In dust their banners low,
And show them England's might.
Ills the old struggle, there renewed,
On dark Egyptian land,
Where Pharoh's hosts the sea subdued
And saved His chosen band.
And that same power that saved His own
And led them on their way.
Will see the Mahdi overthrow.
And all his hosts to-day. re-. f. NJ.

The Ohio SenatorShip.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 19..-Oddsare being offered
by number ofdemocrats that Sherman will
not be U. S. Senator. This is based on the
theory that there has been canvass of the
new members made and the information
elected that there are several republican
members who will not support Sherman in
case the legislature is republican.
The outward claims from each headquar-
tiers at this point now are that they will each
have three majority on joint ballot. Con-
ceding that the democrats will have Iamll'
ton county solid, this county with Hardin
and the Montgomery Senatorial district are
the ones on which tho interest just at pre-
sent is ccntering.

THE WASHINGTON newspaper that sup

Sydney Johnston, and Senator Logan says
the saddle of General r. E. Lee, on which
General Fitz. Lee rode for an hour when he
was in Lexington, is treason. stained" But
Senator Logan has just been to Petersburg,
as the honored guest of General Malone, and
to advise him as to the best mode by which
to divide the white vote of the State, so that
by the one hundred thousand negro votes
from which, as the General says he can OBJ.
tain any majority he may want, or the one
hundred and twenty thousand, which Mr.
Wise says he will get, the General can be

Mr.. WIsE's speech in Petersburg the
other night must have been of character
similar to that essayed in this city a short
time since, for the Mder appeal says of it !:
at is no disparagemcnt of Mr.. Wses intellect
or judgment to say that his speech in this city
last Friday night was commonplace and inferior,
and consisted mainly of abuse, stale anecdotes and
unnecessary profanity. !" 1t is humilat-
ing to an intelligent Virginian, no matter to
which party he may belong, to sec a candidate for
the high Office of Governor reduced to tho neces-
sity of making such speech. 1t is true that the
profanc language which he so literally used was
in the way of quotation and adaptation, and not
his own, still it should have been omitted alto
gether. What contrast between Mr. Wise's
demagogical harangue and tue eloquent and
statesmanlke speech which Maj. Daniel delivered
from the same platform few nights before!
Tho difference was not so much in the men,
but it was in tue Observation-Disclosures for Mr..
Wise"

Tho Election in Ohio.

Both parties in Ohio are still claiming the
Legislature on joint ballot, and both parties
are claiming The Legislative ticket in Ham
ilon county. The General Assembly oftho
State Of Ohio is composed Of 81 senators and
10 members Of the House. Hamilton coun-
IS elects senators and members of the
House. Outside of Hamilton county the
situation on the face Of the returnsis: Mem
bers of tho House-republicans 40; demo.
Gratis, 50. Members of the Senate--republi-
cans, 1G; democrats, II. Counting in Ham
iton county, according to the face Of the re-
turns, as electing 8 members of the House
Of Representatives and + senators, it makes
the General Assembly stand: members of
the House-republicans IS; democrats, 50.
Members Of the Senate-republcans, 20 !;
democrats IT, which on joint ballot would
be-rcpublcans rs; democrats, 60. But
there is great uncertainty--so great, indeed
that only the official count will settle the
question. In Franklin county there is
trouble on account of some nformalty in a
republican precinct-in the clerks not sign
ing The tally sheet. There is talk of throw
ing out this precinct, which would elect the
democratic candidates. except one. In Har-
din, Starke, Adams and other counties the
votn is very close.
