It is definitely settled, however, that in Ohio the venerable William Allen, Democrat, has been elected Governor by a majority of 600 or 700. The remainder of the State officers are Republicans, though the friends of Col. Barnabus Burns, ‘democratic candidate for Lieut. Gov--ernor, are still hopeful of his election by a small majority. The Legislature contains a democratic majority of 16, which ensures the return of Judge Thurman to the Senate. A grand jollification meeting was held by. the Democrats- of Cincinnati on Monday evening. There is great rejoicing over the result throughout the State. In lowa, Gov. Carpenter’s majority in 78 counties ,is 10,645, which will iprobably be increased from five to ten thousand by the twenty counties yet te be heard from. The Legislature contains a small republican majority on joint' ballot. Considering the fact that Grant carried this State by over 60000 majority less than a year ago, and that the Legislature of last year was more than two-thirds republican, it must beconceded that Towa has done nobly. Another pull by the united opposition will redeem the State. The election of Nesmith (Democrat) for Congress from Oregon by 1,000 majority, is confirmed.

In California, the Independent party, headed by Gev. Booth, elected its candidate for Supfeme Judge over the candidates of the two old parties. Pennsylvania elects the republican candidates for Supreme Judge and State Treasurer by indefinite majorities Nobody seems to care about figures, ag the Ring has everything its own way in that corrupt eommonwealth.

Tuae Crawfordsville Journal thinks it i 3 a sad commentary on education and its friends, yet it nevertheless is true, that the average wages of bartenders is higher than that of school teachers.

IN HIS LECTURE in New York on Friday night, Charles Bradlaugh, the English Republican, thus defined a republic: “To have a republic, every “eitizen in the State should feel the “need for political life and duty, and “be prepared to do it—that no man “should be dontent to sit by and “grumble, but that each man should “feel that he is the life-blood of the “State”

‘THE MAJORITY of W. A. Woods, as Circuit Judge for the counties of Elkhart and Lagrange, is reported at about 600. - Judge E. Van Long’s majority in the Kosciusko, Marshall and Fulton District is about 1,100. Gen. Jas. R. Slack, ‘independent-democratic canddate for Judge in the counties of _Huntington, Grant and Blackford, was {elected by about 800 majority over his ‘republican competitor.

FRroM WASHINGTON comes the statement that rﬂ(e_ Treasury Department will take no action With regard to the redistribution ' clause of the act of 1870, but will wait for Congress to consider the question, which involves the withdrawal of $25,000,000 National Bank currency from the Eastern banks and its transfer to the Western and Southern banks, in order to equalize the capital of the country.

LrsT the fact be forgottén, we now remind our readers that the law regulating the shipment of cattle by railroad, enacted by the last Congress, went into effect on the first of this month. The law requires shippers of cattle to remove them from the cars, and give them five hours’ rest, at least once in forty-eight hours. The penalty for each violation is a fine of one hundred to five hundred dollars.

ALL THOSE who believe in maintaining the dignity of labor will be pleased to learn that the opponents of Chinese immigration in California have appointed a convention to meet in San Francisco, on the fifth of next month, to consider the various questions growing out of chedp Chinese labor, and to devise ways and means by which to arrest the tide of immigration from China. Gov. Booth is one of the delegates to the convention.

THE “unbounded prosperity of the country,” the “able financial management of the administration” and the “admirable monetary system of the government” are a few of the favorite tunes constantly played by the radical ot?«ms a little while ago. With money locked up irrthe vaults of the banks, with wages reduced or paid in store orders, and with thousands of workingmen thrown out of employment in all parts of the country, these tunes are not heard quite so often just now.

HoNx: CuAS. R. BUCKALEW, former] y a United States Senator and one of the most earnest and faithful advo‘cates of true reform principles, in the Pennsylvania- Constitutional Conven‘tion, last Friday, referring to the ‘course’ of Senator Morton upon the proposed amendments to the manner of selccting Presidential Electors, said that Senator Morton deserved the thanks of the nation for his course in ‘that regard. The convention held a , Bpecial session last Monday evening ~ to consider the proposed amendments to be recommended by Senator Morton’s committee of the United | States

o COUNTY FAIRS. . [Continued from Last Week.]l In support of proposition No. 6—the abolition of family tickets—it is only necessary to cite the experience of neighboring societies that either never tolerated such an arrangement or discarded it long lince. 'The receipts of the Waterloo Fair, for instance, figure up between three and four thousand dollars, when in point of fact the attendance was but a trifle larger than at our own exposition. In LaPorte county the family ticket is still in vogue, and the Herald, after furnishing an exhibit of the receipts and expenditures, which are just about even, indulges in these practical obdervations: ‘ ol

The above result. though to be re- | gretted, is not to be so much deplored, if we shall duly profit by the lesson it teaches. We should have netted at least $l,OOO. The conjuncture of circumstances was most favorable. There was no political excitement; it was a leisure time of year; the people were ‘ “hungry” for the fair—the weather was magnificent. Indeed the exposition . was a grand success in all respects, except financially. We had the show, the people, the enthusiasm, and that we did not make money, was owing mainly, in our judgment, to our sticking to the miserable, senseless, old fogy custom of s@llingk family tickets for one dollar each. Such an arrangement did well enough twenty or twenty-five years ago, when the country was newer, the population sparser, and the expenses lighter; but in these days it is a nuisance, if not a swindle. It it'is to be adhered to in the future, we may just as well give up the grounds and quit. = If the treasury of the society is to be replenished and its debts discharged, the price of the family ticket must’ be raised, or (what would be better) the same entirely done away with. . It is not alone the low price of one dollar, but the abuse of the family ticket arrangement to which ‘we object. It has been a common practice for certain unscrupulous persons to ‘sell or trade off their tickets, by which ‘means from fifteen to twenty persons ‘gained admittance to the grounds for the paltry sum of one doltar. Indeed, ‘ so boldly has this swindle been carried on that in one or two i{nstances (to ‘ which our attention was directed) three large families passed in on one family ticket—one of the guilty ' parties, after having gained admission, passing the ticket through a crack in the fence to his next accomplice, and this one in turn to the third. These, of course, ‘are exceptional cases, but there is no doubt that the society has thus been swindled out of large ‘sums of money, on a smaller scale. . An improvement, we think, could ' be made in the premium list, so as to avoid the entry of so large'a number of articles in the miscellaneous list. The work of examining the articles usually so entered and of awarding suitable premiums is too burdensome for one or even two committees.

The selection of committees deserves especial attention. None but those upon whom devolved the responsibility of selecting awarding committees can estimate the difflculty of finding a sufficient number of persons willing or qualified to serve in that capacity. “I cannot spare the time,” “Can’t remain,” “Would like to look around,” “Don’t like to incur the displeasure of disappointed exhibitors,” are among the thousand and one excuses with which the President is put off in his endeavors to hunt up and bring together three disintegeosted judges for each class. How to¥emedy this difficulty in every respect is beyond our ken. In some localities the judges are appointed prior to the time of holding the Fair, but owing to- the uncertainty of attendance, this plan does not commend itself to our judgment. A full meeting of the Board of Directors on the second day, and a list of names carefully noted by the representatives of the several local(ities, would perhaps lead to as favorable results as could well be expected. There are a number of other points that deserve attention and discussion, but our limited space admonishes us to defer their consideration-until some other time. , :

: Those Deposits. . Speaking of Andrew Johnson’s deposit with the broken First National Bank of Washington the Herald says: “Doubtless with the meeting and organization of the new Congress there will be an investigation ordered into the late financial relations of Jay Cooke & Co. with the government, and how far the government may be held responsible by Cooke & Co.’s unlucky depositors will probably be made a duty of the committee. In this view there may be still a hope for Mr. Johnson. Otherwise he must resign himself, we fear, to the ideathat his aforesaid unfortunate deposits is “gone where the woodbine twineth.”” Grant's deposit was “a special,” and was sent to him in a tin box when the bank closed its doors on its creditors. There was no such consideration for an ex-President out of office and livihg away down in Tennessee. Such “special” favors are conferred only on a President who has power and patronage, while the ex-President is forgotten. Andrew Johnson will bear his heavy loss with philosophy. There would have been a howl of rage had " not the tin box been sent to the White House with the deposit of Grant.

Proposed Impeachment of a.Cabinet : Officer. Secretary of the Treasury Richardson has got himself in trouble. Influential parties have presented papers to the President containing grave charges against Mr. Richardson and setting forth certain reasons why he should be impeached. The technical charge against the Secretary is, that, after the United States District Courts of Pennsylvania and Maryland had decided that it was unnecessary for ca-nal-boats to be provided with enrollments ahd licenses, he ordered the customs’ officers to report to the District; Attorney all canal-boats found trading in navigable waters without the above-mentioned documents. The plea of the Secretary, that he took an appeal to the United States Circuit Court, is upset by the fact that the appeal was dismissed a year before the circular to the customs’ officers was written, and that no appeal is now pending. With regard. to the general offense, the counsel for the aggrieved parties cite the action of the President and the Executive Deparmtent of the Government, in the case of Kellogg vs. Warmoth, in which they not only accepted the decision of the Louisiana District Court as law, but ordered Gen. Emory to enforce the decree-with ‘the bayonet. The Secrltary is now busily engaged in finding some means of reconsidering his action, the penalty for which is removal from office, fine, and imprisonment. £ Later dispatches convey the intelligence that Secretary Richardson, after long investigation among the records of his department, believes that he will be entirely able to clear himself of charges brought against him. The grounds upon which he relies for justification are that his instructions were identical with those made by previous Secretaries; and that the Collectors of the Wilmington and Philadelphia Districts exceeded their instructions in seizing the boats, the only direction which he has given them being to report their cases to the District Attorneys for libel. :

Dedication of the New Odd Fellow's Hall af Auburn. :

The Odd Fellows of Auburn, DeKalb county, dedicated their new hall son the 15th instant. The buildingisa substantial three-story brick, twentyfour by eighty feet, and is finely finished. Delegations from all quarters on special trains were in attendance. There were delegations present from Columpus, Ohio, Logansport, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Waterloo, and all the neighboring towns, until Auburn j was fairly alive with the human throng. They assembled at the Court House at noon, and were addressed by the Rev. Marine, of ¥t. Wayne, who delivered an eloquent and stirring address, after which they adjourned to a banquet at the Ford House, which had been prepared for them by the citizens and was a splendid affair.— After the banquet the dedication ceremonies were begun, and were conducted in an impressive manner by Grand Master Platt 1. Wise. - The dedication services occupied the time until 4:80 p. M. Four bands were present and discoursed excellent music during the ceremonies. The Auburn Choir also _furnisheﬂ some choice | selections of vocal mustc. The affair 1 ended with a grand ball at night.

The festive season of pulling loaded guns through fences, muzzle foremost, has again returned. Albert Johnson, of Sullivan county, tried it on Saturday, near Fairbanks, and died in thirty minutes.

e e ettt <@ B—— -—— | Anti-Masonic Convention, © Pursuant to public notice, about one hundred citizens of Noble county, opposed to secret societies, met in the United Brethren Church at Albion on Monday last. The meeting was organized by the election of George Harvey as temporiary chairman, and C. G. Fait as secretary. A permanent organization was then effected, with Dr. Cook of Albion as President, Geo. Harvey as Vice President, C. G. Fait as Secretary, and . W. Black as Treasurer. o - e c

An executive committee of seven was also appointed, consisting of Messrs. Cook, liarvey, Fait, Wm. Leuty; A.N. Pené¢e, A. Humphrey and Steadman Gray. A constitution for the government of the organization was adopted. The purposes' of the organization were discussed by Dr. Cook, Jos. M. Fry, Rev. Barlow, Joel B. L. Smith, Steadman Gray, Wm, Leuty, and several others. Another meeting was held on Tuesday, but at ‘the hour of going to press, no report of its deliberations had been received. ‘ [Reported by & Special Correspondent.]

ALBION, October 21.—The business meeting of the great anti-secret society party was held in the United Brethren Church. The attendance was small. Dr. Cook, of this place (the great American Fly Catcher), is President. Revs. Feraut and Barlow spoke in the court-house on Monday evening. The substance of their remarks was, that all Masons are perjured, anti-christian knaves and dishonest people; that Farmers’ Grangles are run by Masons and hence to be avoided by all jgood citizens. The old stale charges were urged against masonry, and Morgan’s’ ghost was paraded as usual. Another meeting will “be held to-night, of which an extended report will be furnished you for next week’s issue. Barlow is a conceited, pompous Baptist preacher, and plumes himself on being'a “big gun” in the cause. Masons (he says) are unfit to held any office of trust or profit; their oaths bind them to shield the fraternity from the punishment of their crimes in courts of justice; that they are working to overthrow the institutions of the country; that they are the implacable secret foes of christianity, and the entire christian church should unite and overthrow their terrible organization. : X

The effects of the recent panic in this country have at last penetrated within the sacred precincts of the Vatican, and added to the troubles which of late have disturbed that retreat. A large part of the revenues derived from the Peter’s Pence, and a part of the private property of the prelates, it appears, have been deposited in the American banks by - Cardinal Antonelli. As American banks are not infallible, the recent reports from this country have caused some well-grounded fears among the occupants of the Vatican as regards the safety of their spending-money.
