A WASHINGTON TELEGRAM to the World says that Congressman O’Neall, of Ohio, a stalwart Republican, concedes the election of Ewing and Rice by fair majorities. Itis to be hoped that Mr. O’Neall understands himself. Tre ENEMIES of John Sherman made it a special point to give Senator Blaine a grand ovation during his recent visit to Ohio. Immense crowds were gotten up to listen to his fiery speeches, and to lionize him in every conceivable manner. . _ el A e e Tue New York World is fearfully disgruntled because Samuel J. Tilden, when he has anything to say to the public, uses the columns of the New. ‘York Z'imes for that purpose. The World’s present treatment of” Mr. Tilden is very shabby. ; = It Toox Indiana’s orators to stir up the Ohio Democrats to a sense of their duty. Before lendricks, Voorhees, McDonald, Gooding, Gray, Landers, etc., entered Buckeyedom the democratic camp-fires were not burning very brightly. Things are diffe'rent'n'ow.; —_—— —— WHAT a joke that)wouh& be on the Republicans if they were to wake up next Wednesday and find themselves snugly snowed under in ‘Ohio! They have boasted so much of twenty, thirty and even forty thousand majority for Foster that they conldn’t for a moment admit the possibility of Ewing’s eleetion. : |

Tae Indianapolis Journal says that lawyers of that city “and elsewhere complain of a marked decrease in litigation. This is another of the many indications of better times.

PresipENT HAYES, in hig gpeech at Indianapolis last week, refarped in glowing terme to the great resousces of Indiana. He spoke of our magnificent wheat crop, valued at over fifty millions of dollare; of our eorn crop, walued at another forty or fifty maillion dollars; of the cattle, hoge and horges, that annually enrich our farmers to, the extent of millions; of her coal,iron, timber, and manufactories, and last ‘but not-least, of the fact that Indiana has the largest schoel fund of any .State in the Unifon. ¥Yes, Indiana is 3 «great State.

True Wabash Courier of last week devotes 11% columns to proving Theron P.

PRINCE BisMARCK seems to have recognized his mistake in demonetizing silver soon after the war with France. It is reported from Berlin that Germany will consent to the proposed international monetary conference to monetize silver and fix its relation'to gold. In Germany gold 1s disappearing from the currency and the old silver that was shipped to London has flowed back into the channels of circulation 1n spite of the law demonetizing it, which goes to show that the laws of trade and finance are more potent than acts of legislation or ‘imperial decrees. : s
SENATOR BLAINE is said to be the possessor of a wonderfnl memory. The following is reported as haying occurred in Ohio one day last week: #Don’t you remember me ?” asked an old man. *Why, yes,” said the Senator, pronouncing his name; “I saw you thirty-five years ago at Caldwell’s Mills.”. “No,” said the old man, “I never was there; you are mistaken.,” “No,l’m not,” answered Mr. Blaine; and he pamed the day a-many years ago, and an ineident on the day. Then the old gentleman brightened up and remembered that the Senator was right. - “I was there,” he said, “and I've never been there since.” “Nor I either,” said Mr. Blaine. We . wouldn’t like to vouch for the ¢orrectness of this statement.
BeN. Bur Lex, wiho has three or four nominations for Governgs of Massachusetts, seems to stand a preidy fair chanee of securing his election this yea¥. Incongruous as are the political elements ghat surround Butler, they are united and exthusiastic in the one purpose of making him (overnor of Massachusetts. The moveseent in favor of Butler does. not originate with ‘the Demoerats, yot it has absorbed the ) great majority of the Pemocrats of the ’State who look upon him as the only lfeasible instrament for overtirning ‘the present political domination. The Greenbackers heartily support Butler though he has distinctly declared to them that national issues have nothing to dg with this contest. He is the favorite caudjdate of the workingmen while he is a weglthy capitalist, and he is the choice of the Ligyor prohibitionists though he does not pretaud to share their opinions. At the same: time sogee of the most active and influential republican politicians of Mass‘achusetts: who opposed him as late as last year are now eondueting his can‘vass and have already brouggt',b#er to ‘his support thousands of the republiun votgrs of fho State,

THE recent revelations from the records of the rebellion that Napoleon 111 used the utmost efforts to induce the English government to go in with him in recognizing the Southern Confederacy will not tend to increase the sympathy of this country in behalf of the fallen Bonaparte dynasty.
A JERSEY DEMOCRAT writes to the New York Sun: [Any ticket to win must be headed with the name of Samuel J. Tilden. He must have with him a good, reliable Western man, not yet determined (possibly Ewing, in the event of his election), as second. Such a ticket would simply be invincible.”
HENRY WARD BEECHER once upon a time said in a letter addressed to Robert Bonner: E “If I'were malicious, and had an enemy that I desired to torment, I would sedulously spread the report that he was very rich and very liberal. Ten thousand flies on a summer day around a molasses hogshead, is no extravagant picturé of what his condition would he.” A
Tae HENDRICKS MEETING at Tiffin, Ohio, was a splendid demonstration.— An Enquirer dispatch says of it: . The yard was magliificcntly illuminated', and hung with a profusion offlags and banners. His speech was a telling one, and gs one of our prominent democratic officials said, “every sentence made a vote.” Even one of our republican friends said he twitted too much on facts. The democratic boom is coming in with flying colors on the home-streteh. Lt :
GLORIOUS “OLD BERKS,” with her gix or seven thousand cemocratic majority, has spoken, as- will be observed from the following: READING, Pa., Oct. 2.—At a Democratic Convention here to-day John Kelly was denounced, and a resolution in favor of Mr. Tilden for candidate for Presgident in 1880 was'adopted. ; The sturdy old Jackson Democrats of “Alt Berks” never falter when it comes to vindicating the majesty of the hallot. Mr. Tilden may justly feel proud of this hearty endorsement by a people whose love of countvy, fidelity to principle,and high sense of honor place them in the front ranks of America’s best citizens.
ACCORDING to Monday’s Indianapolis Sentinel Goyv. Hendricks entertains no doubt of Gen. Ewing’s election as Governor of Ohio. In speaking of Mr. Hendricks’ prognostications the Sentinel observes: - : Mr, Hendricks is never hasty in predicting victory, his nature leading him ratber to expect the worst and hepe for the best, so that we feel abundantly justified and satisfied in stating, from our conversation with him, and subsequently with a gentleman recently from Ohio, that our democratic friends throughout Indiana may fecl assured that we are hothing but the foreshadowing of events when we say to them to look for good news from Ohio next week. If there is anybody having a “walk over,” as the republican papers are boastingly claiming for their candidate, itis General Ewing, and not Mr. Foster.. = ;
SoMEFHING of an idea of Tom Hendricks’ work lin Ghio may be formed by reading- the following account of his meeting at Toledo last Friday night: “Tom Hendricks had a great meeting tonight at White’s Hall. Hundreds were turned away for want of even standing room,— Durjng the day Hurd and Steedman buried the political hatchet, and the love feast was duly commemorated Ly tbejr escort of Mr. Hendricks to the platform amid the wildest applause of the audience. Hendricks spoke over two hours, His greeting was exceedingly cordial. This is his first visit to Toledo, and it is questionable if any more effective campaign speech has ever been delivered here, When he referred to Almon Wheeler, of New York, as the man who was drawing his ( Hendrflks’) salory as VicePresident, the entire ‘andience rose to its feet and gave nine cheers to Tom Hendricks as Vice-President of the United States, He paid a glowing tribute to both Ewing and Rice.” : : ~ ;
The chances of Bayard’s nomination are looking up somewhat. The chief objection to which seems to be the'small State he represents. 'Lhe honorable Tom Bayard is our iflea of a statesman.~[Michigan City Disp. That Mr. Bayard is a man of ability and Integrity, no inielligent man wo’'d attempt to dispute, but in peither of these particulars is he the superior of Allen G.Thurman or Thomas A, Hendricks. In point of deep-penetrating or far-geeing ¢tatesmanship and executive. ability he is by n¢ means the equal of Samuel J. Tilden. e is, in some respects, a doctrimaire—something of a Charles Sumner, minus the latter’s fanaticism and eccentricities. He would! perhaps compare fayorably with Chas. Francis Adams, though not his equal in respect to a thorough knowledge of international law. Mr.: Bayard’s piace is in the Senate. . Delaware is not likely to send an abler or purer man,— Ehere is no probability of Mr. Bayard’s nomingfon for the Presidency. He ‘doesn’t possegs te slements of a popular leader.. He commandg respect, but is incapable of arousing éni;igq'g;gs‘zjg,.—— That class of mea do mnot move the. popular heart. The atmosphére 'befween them and the people is too frigid,
THE SUPREME COURT of South Carolina has decided against the validity of certain bonds that were issued when that State was at the mercy of the infamous carpet bag regiwme. This is some of the repudiation of which we hear so much in the stalwart organs. These bonds were fraudulently issued and those who bought them up at a heavy discount did so at their own risk. The people of South Carolina could not be held responsible for the fraudulent acts ot the gang of plunderers who had usurped their government during the ‘period of reconstruction. ;
NOTWITHSTANDING the democratic split in New York, republican politicians of that State are by no means sanguine of their ability to defeat the re-election of Gov. Robinson. A shrewd republican manager expressed himself thus in regard to the matter:
“We shall probably elect Cornell, but it is not the dead sure thing that most of our poople thinkit is. We are fighting Samuel J.Tilden, and be is the shrewdest politician in this or any other State. He appeared to throw away all his chances of success when he invited the Tammany bolt and split the democratic party. But I have had a suspicion from the first that he was playing a game larger than we could understand, and that between his consummate gkill and his barrel he would contrive to bring about unexpeeted results.”’ v e
A LEADING REPUBLICAN of central New York thus philosophizes on the pending contestin that State and Ohio: “The election in New York will be decided on the 14th of October in Ohio. If Foster should be elected by the majority that his friends claim for him, Cornell’s election would follow almost as a matter of course. But if Foster is defeated and Ewing is elected Ilshould not want to be held responsible for the result here. There are a million voters in this State, of whom one-tenth are without any fixed political opinions. Sometimes they don’t vote at all; but if they see that the currentis getting strongly in one direction or the other they come out and act with the winning side. The Republicans have reason to be satisfied thus far with elections. They gained an unexpected victory in California, and recovered the power which they lost last year in Maine. But if they are beaten in Ohio, Maine and California will be forgotten and all the prestige of victory will go to the Democrats. The worst of it is that some of our leaders do not attach any importance to this phase of the canvass. They look on Ohio-as John Sherman’s ground, and argue that the only effect of Foster’s defeat would be to weaken Sherman’s Presidential boom, DBut that is not the way the masses Ilook at it, by any means. The average voter will see in the loss of ‘Ohio a decline in Republican strength ‘as compared with 1876, or with 1875, ‘the year preceding the last presiden‘tial campaign. Ife will also remem- ‘ ber that Ohio has confidently been claimed by most of the Republican papers during the past six weeks, and if it is lost he will learn to distrust their claims hereafter. My opinion is, howtever, that we shall earry Ohio.”
IN IMITATION of the movement inaugurated at Detroit, the soldiers and sailors of the late war have organized an association at Boston the object of -which is to have the pay of the soldiers and sailors during the war equalized with gold; or, as oflicially proclaimed: “To place the soldiers and sailors of the late war upon the same footing with the public creditors.” A preamble and resolutions adopted at a meeting of the association a few days ago reminds Congress that during the war the soldiers and sailors were paid in a depreciated paper currency, worth only. 60 to 75 cents on the doliar, gnd going down at one time to 40 cents on the: dollar, whereby their actual pay was less than one-half what it pretended to be; and on this ground Congress is asked to e\qualjze their pay with gold. The Indiangpolis Jousrnal does not like this moyement, In fact, the State organ of Hoosier republicanism is un-| compromisingly opposed, to it. “It is hardly conceivable,”the Journal avows, “that any considerable number of ex- “ Union soldiers will unite in so un- “ reasonable and unpatriotic a request. “ Whatever hardship or loss they suf“fered by reason of the depre(;iation{ “of greenbacks was suffered in com“mon hy all classes of citizens.” We hardly think so, [Friges and wages e}d-l vanced amazingly, but the goldier’s monthly wages remained at $16.00, the gold value of which varied from, $7 to $lO. When these gallant men firsp enlisted in defense of their coun-' try they wexe promised pay in coin.— Instead of coin they receiyed depreciated paper. The five-twenty bonds, bought with greenbacks and puyable| in greehacks, were in 1869 made payable in eoin, thys doubling their yalue to the holders: thereof, Why this favoritism to the bondholders and this glaring neglect of the gallant boys in blue? There would have been justice in doing for the soldiers what was. so readily done for the bondholders, but no liying man can ever convince us that it was right to give the bondholder double the amouat b bargaiaed for,

SENATOR WALLACE delivered an exceedingly able address at a great democratic picnic in the Cumberland Valley. In the course of his remarks he said the great question was home rule against centralization, strict construetion or liberal, strqng government by a class or free gdvernment by the people. He continued: . _
- “Corporate pow_er, and every interest that 1 feels its need to take privileges from the people, unite in the demand for centralization and a strong government. We believe in governing from the bottom, not from the top. The individual is the unit in government. To him belong all rights save those which are vital to social order, and those belong‘to the government for the safety of the whole. When tl'xeyl verge upon the rights of the people, they are to be jealously watched. Governments in township organizations, in county control, and in State affairs, having the direct application of the individual thought to the atfairs of the localities, are infinitely better in guarding and protecting against corruption and wrong than a system which ramifies from one common head at Washington, and attempts to control local affairs in the extremities, The fornrer corrects and purities itself; the latter inevitably produces corruption and wrong, without a remedy. Federal election laws and troops at the polls are but another outgrowth of the centralizing tendencies of the republican party. These are to be met solely by the argument that they trespass upon the rights of the individual; taking from him privileges that belong to him to place them unnecessarily anc} improperly in the hands of those who comllol the Federal (s}gu-\‘ernmentv.”
IN HIS ADMIRABLE ADDRESS at Cumberland: Valley picnic, Senator Wallace reminded his audience that no people in the Union have so important a j:take in the restoration of harmony and good government as the people of Pennsylvania. He referred to the uncertainty of foreign markets, not only for the products of our farms but also of our manufactories, and showed very clearly that the South ought to be again, as it was once, the most certain as well as the'most profitable market tor the varied industries of the North. He asked: i “How are we to insure a market for what we produce in the future? Can we do it by causing divisions among our own people, and by arraying one section of the country against another, by flaunting -the ‘bloody shirt’” and erying down with the ‘Confederate Brigadier? Or shall we recognize the fact that the actual market for our; manufactures is in the South, and aid to'restore our own market by restoring unity, peace, and gogd government throughout the whole country? The only security for a continuance of the period of prosperity now about breaking upon our Pennsylvaniaindustries is to be found in I'e‘stol'ilig the whole country to the condition of one prosperous and united people. We of Pennsylvania are more interested in this question than any other section of the republie, for we are the workshap of the republic. The trueprotection for Pennsylvania’s industries is in the restoration,of peace and good fellowship to all.” ; i
Upon this the Sun fitly comments: “It is marvellous beyond comprehension that in the State which furnishes coal and iron, and all the multitude of manufactures which they unite to produce, a party could be marshalled to keep in uproar and confusion, in slavery and poverty, the population of eight or ten States, which are its natural customers. - When the society of the South is settled and its agriculture revived,Pennsylvania furnishes it with implements, from a cotton planter and a plough to a steam engine and a press. When her railroads are to be rebuilt Pennsylvania sends her the iron. Her coal boats choke the upper waters of the Ohio before every freshet, and the number of them increases’ with every day of peace and yninterrupted industrial effort in the Southern States.”
Tue Indianapolis Journal, in speaking of the movement of the Boston soldiers angd sailors to secyre the equalization of their pay during the waron a coin basjs, declares; This trumped up clginm of the Boston association savors of the same (disloyal ) spirit, and is a poor commentary on the patriotism of those who make it. But leaving the question of loyalty and patriotism out of the case, the claim is essentially unjust and exorbitant. It calls for the payment to each living soldier or sailor and to thesurviviig representatives of those who are deceased of from twenty-five to sixty cents on the dollar of the whole amount paid him during the war. This would take several hundred million’ dollars, and added to the present indebtedness of the govermment would bankrupt it beyond the possibility of a doubt, It.is hardly to be supposed that any considerable number of ex-Union soldiers and sailors will join in this preposterous demand. : ' d by ~ In hig.speeches delivered in this county last fall, Billy Willlams distipctly promised that the republican party would do the yery .thjng ‘whijch these Boston scldiers and ‘sailors now demand. He said it was but'an act of Justice that these men receive the difference that existed between gold and paper when they were paid their monthly wages. Tnastiiuch a 8 Billy Willlams spoke in the interest of John H. Baker, 1t is fair to assume that the latter ace
quiesced in the former’s promises. In order to catch a ‘vote Baker was ever ready to pledge himself to anything and everything. e was a resumptionist and an anti-resumptionist, a greenbacker and a gold-bug, whenever and wherever he could advance his interests by thus avowing himself. That Billy Williams knew he was playing a game of deception when h‘e,,inf Baker’s interest, promised equalization of soldiers pay does not admit of a doubt.— He received $3O per speech for doing that kind of ‘work, and.didn’t care a continental how big a fib he told to the gullible persons who listened to his tharangues. for e
Oil Running to Waste. BRADFORD, Pa., Oct.2.—Ata moder- - ate estimate there are 150,000 gallons of petroleum running to waste every day in the McKean County oil regions. The tanks, with capacity for several million barrels, are filled to overflowing. The market is overstocked, and still production goes on at the rate ot at least 25,000 barrels a day, 5,000 more’ than the pipe ,line can handle. New. wells are going down in all parts of the region. The price of oil is from - 25 tc 30 cents less per barrel than the cost of production. The United and Tidewater Pipe Lines have iron tank- - age for 3,000,000 barrels of oil in this district. Individual producers and oilcompanies own tankage connected with these lines. The pipe lines take - care of the oil o¢ these tank owners to the extent of their capacity. It ¢ is the small producers’ who are losing the bulk of the oil. They cannot afford to bolld tanks. = 0 U n
‘What is known as the general storage capacity of the pipe lines is proportioned out to thése producers, but that tankage has been occupied for weeks, and the surplus runs to waste —down thel hills and valleys of MecKean county. The streams are literally rivers of oil. Large quantities of petroleum are absorbed by the earth. In marshy places the ground is a mass of greasy mud, several inches deep. ¢ In sume parts of. the region the streams are dammed and the oil collected 1n large ponds, at places as far distant as possible from derricks and buildings. These ponds are set on fire daily. ‘Thus a large quantity of the waste oil is disposed ot. It is not uncommon for fire to be communicated to the§e combustible rivers by sparks from locomotives. Some times they are fired by malicious persons and tramps. Derricks and other property have been destroyed by these unexpected fires, resulting in losses of thousands of dollars. All efforts to limit the production of 01l and stop this great waste have falled. . Some years ago the same. state of affairs existed in the lower oil region. Rivers of oil flowed from the. tanks. 1t was not until oil fell<to forty cents a barrel that the producers came to their senses and, in a measure, stopped the drill. i
- A Bankrupt City. EVANSVILLE, Oct. 3d.—On Tuesday last United States Marshal Adams went to Mount Vernon%l’osey county, Ind.,, with an execution authorizing him to levy upon the personal property of the city in satisfaction of a judgment obtained by the Newark, liT J;; Savings Institution against the city for $65,000. lle was, however, unable to find any property liable to seizure, In view of this, steps were taken tq procure a writ of mandamus compelling the City Council to leyy a special tax suflicient to pay the claim. Thig fact becoming known, a meeting of citizens was held last night, at which, under legal advice, it was: determined to abandon the city government. Various members of the council at once handed in their written resignations, to take immediate effect, and the‘ccglncil, sitting in special session, prompty accepted the resignations,approved and signed the minutes of the meeting, and dissolved, leaving the place without any eity government whatever. There is great speculation as to what the outcome will be, but the people of Mount Vernon are confident that under the existing order of things nothing can be -done with the Newark claim. S -
