The official figures of the Ohio election
are not yet returned, but the aggregate
vcte is only about ten thonsand short of
tne largest ever held in the State. On
this great vote the Democrats have beaten
the Republicans bv a maiority of about
13,000.
Heretofore it has always been claimed
that with a full vcte Ohio was surely a
Republican state. Experience may be said to have justified that claim. But
the last trial of strength has proved to be an exception to the common rule, and has
inspired the Democrats with confidence in their ability to repeat their trinmphin
in 1884.
It is needless to talk any more about the diflerent causes of Republican defeat as alleged by rival or disappointed lead
ers of thd party. The supreme cause
they will net recognize. The Republican
party loner ago fullfilled its mission. It
would not be in power now but for flagrant fraud and scandalous corruption.
The days of its remaining ..existence are
numbered.
The people earnestly demand a change
in the administration of public affairs.
Xney intend to nave glaring anuses re
formed and to have economical govern
ment instead of extravagance and steal ing. They wjII insist that the President
and the Cabinet who are to succeed the present incumbents shall earn their sala
ries honestly, by lemaining at the seas of government and giving proper attention to the people's business. The time has
gone bv when public servants can play the part of masters, and draw full pay
lor the continuous months of absence from duty, while appropriating public
property to their personal use and pleas
ure. .
That is the political significance of the recent election in Omo. The Republican
part j is going and is going fast.
THE DOW-NFaUL OF A CORRUPT
PARTY. Boston Herald.
The Republican party has passed into a minoritytaking the State Govern
ments and Congress together because of
its persistence in facing backward and at
tempting to live upon its record instead of securing new titles to respect and confidence by its policy and deeds in the present. Its mold-eyed leaders went on
'Standing by the old flag" long after the
ritarrv banner floated free over all the
land and needed no defenders. Only
three years ago this past summer the two
most conspicuous leaders of the Republi
can party Mr. Blaine and Mr. Conk ting
started m upon the Presidential campaign waving the ragged remnants of the bloody shirt and shouting the worn-out shibboleths of dead and buried issues.
The loss of Maine ana the threatened loss of Ohio and Indiana compelled them to change their ground, and by resorting to the tariff scare and the free use of mon
ey, tne narty was pulled tnrou&n once
more.
President Garfield, in his inaugural, sounded the bugle note for an advance.
He exhorted his party to turn from the
graveyard ot aead issues and taKeup a
new line of march. He protested in earn
est and .eloquent terms against further delay in treating in a statesmanlike man
ner the exigent questions which had long
pressed vainly for consideration and set
tlement. It was a hopeful keynote; but
within less than a month the new administration was involved in a quarrel over
the patronage, the painful results of which need not be rehearsed. "When
Congress met it was confronted by a new
adnnnistration: ana. though President
Arthur's recommendations were mostly
Bound, there was no force in them.
Keifer and Robeson dominated the House and Mahonism neutralized the
Senate. The nver and harbor job was
crowded through in the true dops spirit;
civil service reform was contemptuously
shoved aside; the war taxes were left un
disturbed, and Congress ad jouraed snap
ping its finger in the face of the people.
The people rose up and sat down on. the Republican party, and its fat rotundity
flattened.under the weight of their dis
pleasure. When Congress reassembled it brought forth some works meet for repentance; bofore deciding for 1884, the
peeple await the action of thQ Democracy
Nautical Metaphors.
A speaker, says the Central Christian Advocate, who attempts to use nautical metaphors should be thoroughly familiar
with the sea and the working of a ship,
or he will ssrand his speech. A clergyman was once supplying a pulpit by a
seaside. Thinking to impress the truth more distinctly upon the congregation,
many of whom were senmen. he drew the
figure of a ship trying to enter a harbor
against a head wind.
Unfortunately for the success, of his
metaphor, he knew little of seamanship.
After putting his ship into several singu
lar positions, he cried out m atone in
tends, to be emphatic: "What shall we do next?" mi T ' a v ... " V
me xjora omy snows,' - exclaimed a
disgusted old tar, "unless you let her
That prince of sailor-preaching, Father Taylor, was once silenced by a oompliment of his eloquence. He had depicted
the in penitent sinner under the figure of
a storm-tossed ship, with her sails split, and driven by the gale toward the rock-
bound coast of Cape Ann.
"Ob, how, he exclaimed, in tones of
despair, hall this poor sin-tossed sin
ner be eaved? .
Instantly an old salt in the gallery,who had listened with opened mouth and straining eyes to the preacher, jumped to his feet, and in a voice that would nave sounded above a hurricane, shouted: "I jet him put his helm hard down,and bear away for SguamP Lost His Pillow. Bangor Commercial. Landlord Roberta woke up one night by hearing some one travel - about the house, and, lighting a candle, found one of his guests in full shirt dress wandering through the rooms. "What do you want?" said Roberts. . "I want to find the hen-pen," said the man, "What in thunder do you want of the hen-pen at this time of night?" asked Roberts. f .el said the man, you see I lost my pillow somewhere, and I wanted to get into the hen-pen and get a feather and make another F
OTVXL BIGHTS LAW. The decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court, declaring the cavil rights law un
constitutional, caures various comment.
Ex-Senator Bruce (colored) says: 'It is a
meet unfortunate decision, and grieves
me and thousands of others very much.
1 think its effect will be to carry the
country bock fifteen yeais at least. It
ices not reflect the sentiments of the
people as a court decision ought to do,
and it is, in my opinion, a revival of Cal noun's theory of State rights." Fred Douglas says that "it is a step backward
in civilization." John F. Cook, also col
ored, does not think public sentiment aoy
more antagonistic to the colored people
than when the law was passed; on the
contrary, he tninbs it has made progress;
nor does he think the decision will in any
manner be to the injury of the colored
race, except, peiht i f, m localities where
ignorance prevails. The standing, mor
ally and socially, of the coloied men and
women is to be measured hy their desire
for education and mental culture. Ex-
Senator Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois,
says he always considered the bill un
constitutional. Gen. Coburn,of Indiana,
believes the law has been of great benefit
to the eclored race, even though row de
clared unconstitutional. The colored
people of Washington meet on the 22d to
discuss the matter.
... ANOTHER GREAT KAKTHQTJAKB. A Constantinople dispatch of Wednes
day says: It is reported that much dam
age to property and great loss of life has
been caused by earthquakes on the penin
sula between Cbeemo, Asia Minor, oppo
site Chios, and Vauria, on the southern
coast of the Gulf of Smyrna. All the vil
lages in that region were destroyed and
it is believed that upwards rof 1.000
sons persons perished. The survivors of the disaster are Buffering fearful priva
tions an d a complete panic prevails.
Most of the houses collapsed at the first shock, burying their inmates. The people who escaped became panic strick
en and sought the fields, where many are
stil1 huddled together in a starving condition and sufieringfrom cold. Help for
the stricken people is going forward from Smyrna The Porte has issued a notice
stating that 20,000 people are homeless, and pleading for immediate assistance, A government commission will start as soon as possible to aid the local officials. The report that 1,000 persons had perish
ed is confirmed.
SPANISH REPUBLICANS. A dispatch from Lisbon, Spain, Wed
nesday, says: Three thousand armed
peasants assembled at VaJencia,Dominhe
in the province of Tienna,and raised cries
for the republic. A small detachment of
troops was sent to disperse them; severe
fighting ensued, and several persons were wounded on both sides. Eventually the troops were compelled to retreat Reh -
forcements of cavalry and infantry will be sent from Oporto. PTJNISHING PREDATOBY ENGLISHMEN. A dispatch from St. Petersburg, Wednesday, says: The English schooner Ottome was captured trespassing upon the American Alaska commercial comp any. The cargo of otter skins and hunting material was confiscated; the schooner taken to Petropaulorski; and the crew, four Englishmen and fifteen Japanese, sent to Vladivostock. OFFICIAL FIGURES N IOWA. Official returns give Sherman, Republian, a majority over Bonne, Democrat, for Governoi of 25,127. There is no change in the complexion of the Legislature. The whaling fleet in the Arctic ocean The demand for the new two-cent stamp is greater than the demand for the old three cent stamp ever was. No day since October 1, has there been issued less than 30,000,000. One day the issue ran up to 38,000,000. made but a meagre catch, and some vessels will probably have to winter in the ice. The miners in Alaska found but little gold. The awards to the United States at the London fisheries exhibition number 147, of which forty-five are gold, forty-five are silver, and twenty-eight bronze medals; also nineteen diplomas and ten money prizes. The United States gets eighteen gold and four silver medals, besides two diplomas. Paul Vandervook, ex-commander of the G. A. R., removed from a postal agency at Omaha for neglect of duty, is in Washington threatening General Gresham with political death in case he refuses to reinstate him in his position. So far, however, Gresham has not capitulated. 4 Secretaries Lincoln and Chandler are still investigatiEg the failure of the Greely relief expedition. A Washington special says: "The more the matter is investigated the more clearly it appears that the management of the expedition was simply botched by General Hazen, or whoever had charge of the making up of orders at his office " tin der article second of the treaty, which permits any Chinaman other than a laborer to come to the United States, if provided with a certificate issued by the Chinese government identifying him as engaged in other pursuits than that of laborer, many of the almond eyed celes tials are coming o this , country despite the laws against it. THE EAST: Henry Irving, the actor, has arrived at New York. Gov. Butler has raided the point that a woman is not a legal person. The Massachusetts Supreme Court has decided that hotel bars are saloons. Eight men were lost off the Massachusetts coast during the squall, Saturday night. Arch Rowan, clerk of the court atPittsburg, is charged with a deficiency of $48,000 in two years. MiBS Ford, of the Irish World, has distributed in Dublin sums of a thousand dollars each to the families of the men hanged for the Phcenix park murders. John Irving and John Walsh, two notorious New York burglars, in a saloon brawl, Tuesday, shot and killed each other, and the police claim it is good riddance in both cases. Mrs. Bender, who was drowned, Monday, at Erie, was the fifth member of the family to periBh that way. They believed they were drowned by a corse uttered by an ancestor at Bavaria. One hundred and fifty students were precipitated into the Charles riyer, at Harvard, Saturday, by the fall of a Lbal-
oony, while watching the raws. Several of them were injured, but none seriously.
According, to a decision by a Philadel
phia court a broker cai not be coi vioted of embezzlement for conversion of funds
of a customer unless the funds have been
deposited with him for safe custody and
not as an investment. ,
William H. Vanderbilt, while driving Early Rose over the course at the Gentlemen's driving park, collided with one of Robert Bonner's fast teams, and was thrown violently from his seat. He recovered BufBoientlj from the shock to he driven home and is not thought to be seriously hurt
THE WEST: Gov.-elect Hoadly will probably take a sea voyage for his health. . Intense excitement prevails at Jjiabon, D. T., where a new gold field has been discovered, Edgar Johnson, Hoadly's law partner,
is said to have won $16,000 by the latter s election. A band of Indians who went hunting from La Grace, Dak., pvertool a herd of buffalo and slew over 2,500 head. An "overworked" cashiar, at Ironton, Ohio, is reported to have disappeared wi'h $20,000 of the bank's funds. General Schofield, who will succeed Gen. Sherman ot the division of the Missouri, will remove the headquarters from Chicago to St. Louis. The Y. M. C. A. convention at Spring
field, HI., closed on Monday evening, and was the largest and most successful ever
held in the State. The number of delegates was 160.
The boaid of trustees of the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce have unanimously
elected Col. Sidney D. Maxwell superin
tendent, who will soon enter upon his thirteenth year in that capacity. It is reported that the saloon-keepers
association of Chicago has compromised suits brought by Sabbatarians by agreeing that saloons shall be closed on Sunday. It is thought good faith will be observed. . . At a meeting of three thousand IrishAmercans in Chicago, resolutions were adopted declarhig that it is the duty of the United States government to use its power to secure a fair trial for O'Donnell, the slayer of informer Carey. White river at Batesville, Ark., is higher than it has been at any time for ten years past, except on May 9, 1882. The damage to the small farms on the river is almost irreparable, and will leave a large number in a suffering condition. Dr. Baxter, of Milwaukee, interrupted the funeral services of the daughter of a wealthy German, at Black River Palls, Wis., declaring the girl was in a trance. He attempted resuscitation, and in the presence of the astonished mourners, the supposed corpse rose up in the coffin with a terrific shriek. She is now convalescent, and states she fully recognized in the trance that she was being prepared
I for burial, but could do nothing. im . m tt ... " ti

tdo in the family of Carpenter and was in a delicate condition. So far circumstan
tial evidence only has been adduced
against Carpenter, who is a prominent
and wealthy citizen of Linooln. .
The room of three waiter girls at the
Rook Island House, Rock Island, HI.,
was entered, Monday night, by a scoun
drel who threatened them with a knife
when they rejected his infamous proposals. To escape him they lumped from
their window, in the third story, to the pavement below and were badly hurt;. One is not expected to live. The brute is in custody. Outside of five counties in Ohio, the prohibitory amendment had a clear majority at the recent election. The total vote in the State was 320,967 for the amendment and 390,618 against it or blank. Among the counties voting for prohibition, "are eleven that gave majorities for Hancock in 1880, while among those giving majorities against prohibition are eighteen that gave majorities for Garfield. A large crowd of people boarded a south-bound train at Carrolton, HI., on Friday night, among; whom was a liberal sprinkling of pickpockets. Among those who were victimized was Jacob Pope, who was seized by the whiskers and throat while his purse was taken, with $300 enclosed. Hon. H. O. Goodrich, of Jerseyville, paid $70 and passes over the Chicago k Alton road for his ride from Carrollton to Jerseyville. Returns from 65 counties in Ohio have been Teceivpd,which give Foraker 220,986 out of a total vote of 458,146,Hoadly 228,385, Prohibitionist, 5,659, and Greenback 1.864. The judicial amendment has reoeived 240,912, being a majority of 21,839. Its majority will be about 40,000. The prohibition amendment has 218,574 votes being 10,499 less than a majority. Secretary of State Newman thinks Hoa dry's plurality wl be 12,468. THE SOUTH: The tax assessment of Texas increased $100,000,000 last year. Lewis Woods, a negro, convicted of the crime of rape, was taken by a mob at Edgerly Station, Louisiana, and burned to death, A female fiend at Fiemingsburg, Ky confesses to have committed several coldblooded murders in that vicinity, which have always been mysteries. A young couple who are well to do, and not immoral, are said to have recently been married in a nude condition, in Fleming county, Kentucky. They wishes to imitate the fashion of Eden. Since Saturday night there have been five deaths and four new cases of jellow fever at Brewton, Ala. Among the deaths is Rev. R. P. Baker, the Methodist minister who did such noble service since the disease became epidemic. A train on the East-line narrow gauge road in Texas was wrecked by a cyclone, near Sulphur Springs, and almcst completely demolished. One lady and two children were severely injured. There were a number of other passengers on board, several of whom were quite badly hurt. The recovery of the lady is doubtful. Old man Mosley married hi tjfteen-
year-old cousin, near Abbeville, S. C, in 1878. They quarreled and the old gentleman made his will, threatening to disinherit her. He was murdered shortly alterward. The arrest of Thomas Hughes in Georgia develops that the young wife hired him und two others to lull her husband. There was a Moody and fatal fight,Sun -dav, near McBean, in a church in
Burke county, Ga. On Saturday there

two large navy revolvers strapped to his
side, and he held the engineers at bay for
two days and nights till Colonel Scott
was telegraphed and had a warrant out
and Cook arrested and lodged in jail un
til the survey had been made, after which
he became reconciled, as when the road was builfc it would form a valuable levee to proteot his land from overflew in Hay creek bottoms. Saturday, ou locating the line to be graded, it was found neeessary
to run quite a diflerent one from the preliminary survey, when Mr. Cook again confronted them perched on the fence
with shot-gun and revolvers. Engineer Itodman telegraphed Col. Scott, atLoui-
ville, the state of affairs, and the belliger

The Ohio Falls Iron Works, of Albany, kept at an unusually high figure. Friday

The glass -works project at Miohigan
City, through the advocacy of foreign capitalists, is assuming definite shape, and will in all probability be erected. Two gypay women humbuged Mrs. Jesse Thurrnan, at New Albany, out of 350 for attempting to rid her of a witch. The gypsies were overtaken and made to disgorge. The corn crop of Grant county'is a failure, the yield being only one-half what it usually is The grains are soft, and only a small quantity will grade as merchantable. Ten thousand people were in attendance at the G. A. It. reunion at Goshen, Wednesday. One thousand soldiers were in line. A ahani battle, and a Lroom brigade composed of forty ladies from Kendallvills, attracted great attention. King Stuart, a colored man of Logaasport, cannot read nor write, but he has a six-vear-old daughter, who can read En glish, French, German and Latin with ease and correctness.

they reached nearly $15,700,000, and sug
gested the possibility of another bond
call by the secretary to reduce tne mar
gin. Mr. Folger, when informed of these
figures, asked for estimates from the war
rant division, of the amount required out
cf this sum to meet various obligations.
The reauirements of the pension office
will be the main item in determining how
large a call can be made. The 121st and final call of 8J per cent, bonds, for over thirty millions, which was divided into weekly callB of five million, have not yet been completed. The bonds are ccming in very slowly,the receipts for redemption this week not exceeding $5150,000, while the total has not reached $23,000,000. The policy of the treasury department in the future will be more frequent -r and smaller calls than heretofore, and the 8 per cent, indebtedness will be gradually reduced. It is not expected that these calls will inconvenience the National banks very much, as there are but few of the threes now on deposit to secure circulation. The Government employes are very blue over the result in Ohio. They try to keep up ccurage and say it was the whiBky question that beat them in the fight that culminated last Tuesday, but it is easy to see that they are thoroughly alarmed. And why should they not be? Many of them have been so long in the Government service that they find themselves unfitted for any other sort of work and the dread of being thrown out on to the cold world is something terrible to them. And with good reison, too. Thee in no doubt of the correctness of the claim heard here almost daily, that the depart
ment life unfits those who follow it for
other employment. At least that is the common remark of Government employes. Nine out of every ten of them say it, and yet 8B large a proportion of them hold on to office, and are to-day in perfect agony lost the Presidential election next year shall throw them out, as it of course will ii! the Democratic candidate for President is elected. Nobody here believes that the Civil Service business means anything in that light, and every f Government employe is thoroughly convinced that he will have to "go" in ease of Dein03ratic success.

The President, it in said, has expressed
himself IU3 gratified at getting baok to
Washington. The city is so clen and
quiet anl bright and cheery, the sur
roundings so pleasant, the society
so pleasant in its character, that he, New Yorker as tie5" is, finds Washington life
very gratifying. It is a little odd that no ex-President comes to Washington to
live or settles down bo reside here after
his term of office has expired. General
G'ant is a great admirer of Washington,
and Washington society thinks as much
of him. He is eufliciently wealthy tfcat
he need not disturb himself about business, and he would be doubly welcome here, a efe tie does not come. It is said that he made some effort a few weeks smoe to so arrange his affairs that he could spend at least a part of his time here, but did not succeed in doing so. Ex-President Hayes and family regretted leaving Washington,8nd Washington society regretted to see Mrs. Hayes gc. They had plenty of money with which to have remained here and no special rea eon for returning to Ohio, for there were other men who could have filled the position of Road Supervisor. There may be an unwritten law somewhere which makes it an improper thing for an ex" President to live in the city where he has acted as President, but if there is somebody wiill some day break it, for almost efery other class of citizens is represented among the residents here, from Cabinet officers down. It makes every humanitarian sad to see invalids seek snob relief as is given tbem by the use of bitters, kidney medicines, a,nd other nostrum!?. The first few doses may make them feel better on acoonnt of its stupefying iuCTPdieuts, combined with so toe strong cathaiic and diuretic that aro used in its composition, but they eventunllv grow worse. The onlv nure for weakness, nervousness, debility, aohep, pains, rheumatism, sores, urinary and digestive troubles, is to make the blood rifth, red and pure, bv using Dr. Gnysottfs Yellow "Dock and Sareaparilla,
a remedy widely indorsed by physicians who have examined into its composition and effect. The Captain s Whim Milwaukee Wisoonsin , Friday. The schooner Annie M, Peterson arrivr ed in port on Wednesday, and in the afternoon the captain left the vessel.leaving a full crew on board. The jolly skipper met many friends and formed maty new acquaintances during the afternoon, including several parties in quest of employment. Before nightfall he f had engaged three mates and two cooks, sending each aboard the schooner. The result was that upon, the return of the commander in the evening the vessel had five mates and three cooks. A conflict of authority followed1, which at one time bade fair to terminate seriously. Upon the appearance of the captain, the anxious candidates excitedly exclaimed in chorus, "Who is to be mate?" "We are all mates, my lads," replied the skipper; "I coul dht spare any of you. .V The attention of a policeman was called to the matter, and the officer repaired to the scene witb the idea that trouble would ensue, but the utmost good nature prevailed. Yesterday the captain paid each
of the five extra men one day's wages, $3, and they departed for shore well satisfied with the result of the captain's queer whim. If yonr lungs are weak, if a cold causes you .quick distress, you will breathe easier, you will cough less,you will strengthen the pulmonary organs,- you will feel better every way jif you will occasionally use Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. Ask your druergist for it. How a Tenor Bought a Vase. First-class tenors, as everybody knows, command high salaries. It has been calonl a ted that one of the tenors of the operahouse in Paris received 5 francs for every note he sang. The tenor, who bad the reputation of being very "dear," went to pnrcnape a vase at a fashionable shop, and complained oil the high price asked, 21 francs. "Why; I should have thought you would have ban the last person to complain. Iam told every- note you sius is worth h francs. The great tenor the vase packed up, went to his pay desk and sang, "do,re, mi fa There, that makes 22 francs; I want 1 franc change' WAnrasRBpRO, S. C Col. A. h. Camp
bell says: "A member of my family used Brown b Iron Bitters with good results." Drinking habits in India are on the increase, and the revenue from strong drinks has risen in five years by about 15 pe:r cent. Wliisky has now become the favorite stimuJant, supplanting brandy and gin. : Owenton, Kv. Rev. J. W. Waldrop says: "Brown's Iron Bitters greatly relieved me of general debility and indigestion." The number of Italians who immigrated to foreign countries durincr the twelve months of last year was 161,562, as compared with 135,832 in 1881.

A man who was looking through a second-hand store in Brooklyn, with a view of finding a bedstead to suit him, finally examined one and asked: "Are you sure there are no bugs in this?" "Bugs! Vtiy, dot bedstead wasoudtof my own family! We got it when my brother Moses vhas here, und now tie tias gone away I sell it for half price." "Say, I believe it has had bugs in," "Ompossibie, my friend. My wife vhas so neat that if she knew of such tings in der house she go grazy." "And I'll be hanged if here isn't prorifr exclaimed the customer, as he pointed to an unimpeachable evidence. 'eU! Vtielir' ' The customer was going out with a heart-broken look on his face, when; the other detained him, and said: " "Dot's all right, after all. Ef you buy dot bedstead you know you have bugs from a respectable family. Moses vhas head clerk in Rochester, und you know I vhas here twenty-seven years in pees-

Nervous, dyBpeptio individuals, whose distress of mind and body make life miserable, if your sufferings have been prolonged and increased by the use of bitters and pretended cures of kidney and liver diseases, throw all such nostrums aside and find health, strength and vigor in that simple remedy known as Dr. Quysott's Yellow Dock and Saraparilla. It purifies the blood, strengthens the urinary and digestive organs,and infuses new life into all parts of the body . No other remedy equals it Have yonr druggist get it for yon. A Natural Trotter. Jay-Eye-See ia so perfectly balanced 1 in his action that he does not need to be
heavily Bhod. He wears eight-ounce ehoes j
forward and four-ounce shoes behind. A peculiar habit of this young horse is found in his manner of eating his hay and oats. When fed a pail of water is placed near his box of oats. He will take a mouthful of oafs, stick his nose in the water, take another mouthful of oats again stick his nose in the water, and so on oontinually until his grain is eaten up clean'. He then proceeds7 the same
way with his hay, until he has consumed
a liberal supply. In this way he avoids the ill effect of dusty hay or oats. He is a good feeder as all times eating twelve quarts of oats and the usual allowance of hay. - - - r ' - MARKETS
