booineth, election or no October increase in circulation, $3,000,000. National Bank By the way, where is that "drop" in business after the campaign? The people seem to stand up under the evils of Resumption pretty well, Mr. Ewing. Ben Eggleston is set up by the En- fquirer for United States Senator. Ben made a good Congressman.

Seven candidates on the Greenback ticket in one Maryland county have withdrawn since Ohio voted. Congressman Singleton, in a recent speech at Yazoo, indorsed the killing of Dixon, since it was done to save the counirv from the race issue. The talk that General Garfield can't Lbe spared from the House, begins be-. times. It comes from those who want him to wait until everybody else has United States Senator.

vThe Virginia Democrats were indifferent to Democratic defeat in Ohio. JThey were generally opposed to the Ewing financial theories, and were glad to see them finally exploded. Ben Hill is trying to patch up a peace between the Robinson and Kelly factions, because the Southern leaders since the Ohio election, feel that unless the Democracy can carry New York this Fall, there can be nothing to be hoped for in the Presidential cam paign. i The ornamental Governor of New who signified his advent into 'office by liberating a precious set ol 'scoundrels and rebuking the military for enforcing the laws, has an Indian war on his hands that will make business for him before he gets through with it as it has already. The Democratic howling, based on the supposition that Clerk Enright ot Lucas Couutv would refuse a certifi cate to Dr.

Wilkins, the Democrat who claims to be elected State Senator by I tinted tickets, was decidedly prema-'i ture. The delay was only due to lack of returns from all the counties. Messrs. Moody and aankey, the evan gelists, have the hearty co-operation of poieaPenomiiiatioiis in Cleveland, and "er fir meetings, attended daily by thou-kds, are making a deep impression hgpon the entire city. A noticeable fea-sture of the evening meeting is the larne attendance of business men and the la-i boring classes.

The Cincinnati bluzctte man at Co i lumbus touches a sore spot in his re-'. mark that the two peculiar features of the Democratic vote are that only those i counties which were bitterly Copper-Ihead during tne war, and those where-in the officials stole most largely, were fable to roll up their usual Democratic majorities. The Young Republican "scratchers" of New York ought to be pinned on of a mountain ten miles high. No air pure enough for such dear seraphs can be found lower down. It would please them mightily to defeat Cornell I and boost Tilden, the young fools, and their prospects for doing it, are not as 5 poor as we would like to report.

iu A to I it be Another States Rights Questton, Washington, Oct. 21. Argument was had to-day the U. S. Supreme court in tne case ot State ot Tennes see, plaintiff, vs.

James M. Davis, up- uu tne uivisioii or opinion in tne united States Circuit Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. This case arises out of the indictment in a Tennessee State Court of the defendant. James M. Davis, a deputy collector of internal revenue, for the murder of James B.

Haynes, a citizen of Ten nessee. In August. 1878. Davis tiled his petiton for certiorari in the United States Circuit Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, alleging, anions other things, that the killing was done in self-defense to save hisown life, and that at the time of the act for which he was indicted was committed he was an officer of the United States, to-wit, a Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, and was engaged in the discharge ot his olhcial duties. Upon the return of the certiorari, the State of Tennessee.

by its Attorney General, moved that the case be remanded to the State Court in which the indictment was found. The main question to be discussed is. in the words of Attorney General Dev- ens, brief and substantially the same as that which has for half a century been debated in Congress and before the country, viz: whether the United States Constitution is a frame of Gov ernment created by the people and act ing directly from and upon the individual, or merely a compact or league of sovereignStates. He held the AA of 1789, Ssction 70, unconstitutional, be cause if any right of removal exists it must extend alike to civil and criminal cases, and the extent to which, as well as the time and manner in which it shall be exercised (whenever Federal laws or their execution is concerned). is a question of expediency and not of power.

The main point on the side of the State is that it Congress intended by said section to remove trials from State to Federal Courts, the act is un constitutional. There is neither an expressed nor an implied power in the Constitution giving to Federal Courts urisdiction of crimes which are offen ses alone against a State. State vs. Federal Authority. Cincinnati Commercial Special.

Washington, Oct. 21. Commission er Raum has received a letter from one of the officers of the Internal Revenue Bureau in North Carolina, announcing the fact that indictments had been secured against six officials of the State, Greensboro, for interfering with United States officers in the discharge of their duty. Some time ago some illicit whisky was seized bv Revenue Agents, but was at once recovered by the distillers through a writ of replevin issued by the State Judiciary, in di rect violation of a United States statute, which places such seizures out of the jurisdiction, of such writs; and this began to be the regular practice among the moonshine distillers of that section. As fast as the Government officers seized their illicit whisky they would regain possession of it by writs of replevin.

Now in one case the Justices issuing such writs have been in dicted in the Federal Courts, and a test case will be tried. Surgeon General's Report. Washington, Oct. 20. Surgeon General Barnes, Ui S.

has transmitted to the Secretary of War his an nual report for the fiscal year of 1879. The average mean strength.to Septem ber 1, of the army, was 21,716 white, and 1,947 colored troops. Among the white troops, the total number of cases of sickness of all kinds was 37,380, of which 5,128 were for wounds, accidents and injuries of all kinds. The total umber of deaths from all causes was 266, of which 105 were from wounds and injuries. Among colored troops the total number of cases of sickness was 3,932, of which 477 were from wounds, The total number of deaths of colored troops was 28.

A very large increase in the number of new cases has been made since July 1, 1879, consequent upon operations of the the arrearages of the Pension Act. As regards surgical statistics of the ar, he says that up to January 1879, 208,976 cases had been entered on the records ot that division, in the Army Medical Museum there had been an in crease in specimens during the year of 611. Medical and surgical volumes of part third, which will complete the work, are under way. About 8,000 volumes and 3,500 pamphlets have been added to the military, making a total of 49,000 volumes and 53,500 pamphlets. The number ot Assistant surgeons promoted during the last year was 25; candidates examined 92, of which 13 passed; number remaining to be ex-emined, 17.

There are two vacancies in the grade of Surgeon, and 12 in that of Assistant Surgeon. There were at the date of the report, October 1, 154 medical officers on duty, 13 on sick leave and six on regular leave.

What shall we do with our evenings This is the old question that autumn makes new again.

It doesn't interest everybody, for some people have no more idea of the value of time than an. ox or a butterfly. Others, who are given up to social dissipation, or whose leisure is devoted to public amusements, find their perplexity in the shortness of the season. But in the quiet villages aud more quiet country districts, and among the home-loving, classes in our cities, the long evenings bring opportunies that frequently go to waste for want of a little planning and' concert of action. For young people-especially they should be entered upon with the resolve, first, not to.

waste them. To "kill time," says some one, "is an expression that would have beeu ill-used by Methusalah in his nine hun dred and sixty-ninth year. -And to misuse time is the worst way ot killing it. One of the best ways of using the long evenings, if you are the head of a family, is to make them happy and helpful to your household. Don take your book or newspaper directly after supper settle down into the warmest corner in a mauner that warns everybody to keep still read sulkily or selfishly until 10 o'clock, and then yawningly ask your wife if it isn't "most time to go to bed Some fathers are about as use ful, and not half so ornamental, as a good quality ot parlor Doarder.

Help Tommy on his "home lesson," if the teacher has been permitted to put one upon him, or give an nour to games in wnicn an hands can join. A little romp will help your digestion and spirits more than it can possibly hurt your dignity. Don't be afraid, good people, of a regular dose of fun in your home life. It is the best preventive going for rest lessness, nervousness, irritableness, stupidness, and all other bad nesses that spoil home comfort.

Best Reading for the 3 Km Mitchell policy, 20 furniture manufac turing firms in the city, representing more than four-fifths of the capital employed and doing the great bulk of the business, have determined to re sist all demands made on them by Arbeiter Hall, and to deal in their factory troubles exclusively with their I own men. And it will puzzle common- sense people to say why this is not the irue way, leaving meddlers from both sides to attend to their own affairs. A SOCIALIST SECESSION. Chicago Socialists have suffered severe set-back by the withdrawal of Benjamin Sibley from their organiza tion and his repudiation of their men and methods. It is not understood that Sibley surrenders his Socialistic views which, however, are of a con servauve type out mat ne can no longer preserve his self-respect and af filiate with the men who have gained the control of the organization.

As to Mr. Sibley more than to any other man is due the prominence which the party has attained in Chicago, his views have considerable importance. He says that his argument that the grad ual education of the working classes in the ideas ofS oclalism was the thing most necessary, had been met by the answer that all the education necessary for workingmen was to teach tluni that all the men who live in palaces on the avenues are thieves, to make them dissatisfied with the present order of affairs, and finally that everything was the product of their labor and hence they were entitled to it. The men with these incendiary ideas, Mr. Sibley says, have now secured control in Chicuso.

They are men. he aids, who cannot speak a word of English and won't learn. They have no respect for American institutions. They demand a sudden and sweeping change. A large majority of them were former Democrats and they are working in the interest of the party.

All these re marks may not apply to tbe rank and file of the party, but they apply with full force to the leaders, and they so far have had little difficulty in leading the rest by the nose. Against these abuses Mr. Sibley has thrown the weight of his in fluence, but witnout avail. Now, he openly repudiates them and frankly tells a Tribune reporter the reasons for this step. His action will- serve to draw the attention of the people anew to the tremendous amount of mischief which the Socialists are doing this country, if it does not demoral ize the organization in Chicago.

PARTY THAT DUES NOT PRAC TICE WHAT IT PREACHES. The Columbus Journal demands of the new Legislature election law improvements, because "AH agree that our election laws are insufficient to protect the ballot It objects dark holes for ballot boxes (whatever that may mean), and says: When five men who call themselves udges and clerks of elections, all selected from one party, in direct contravention ot the spirit of the law, tell citizens that it is none of their busi-uess how many votes have been polled, ind that they (citizens of Columbus, md representatives of candidates) can not enter the room where the ballot joxes are kept, what are we to think -free elections All this was done in the interest of the party that has had the cheek to make "free elections" its alleged campaign issue, and from every part of the State come like reports if Democratic tricks-attempted or accomplished. Thus, the Dayion Journal in endorsing its Columbus namesake's position, adds: "Blind men, legal voters, should also protected. Members of Congress, who are mean enough to take advantage of men who cannot see, by snatching Republican tickets from their hands, and substituting Democratic ballots, should find some legal obstacles in their way. Such infamous frauds on "free elections" were perpetrated at the Liberty polls in this county, and should be checked by the strong arm of the law." This is a hard slap and a deserved one at Congressman McMahon, who was so mighty virtuous that he moved for the Democratic investigation, that was unable to find any Republican frauds in the election of Congressmen Butter-worth and Young.

McMahon will be mightily tickled by these paragraphs from yesterday's Cincinnati Commercial: "Foster's majority in Gen. Young's district (the 2d), is 1.98S. This ought to encourage the breezy Banning. Young's majority was 974." "The majority for Foster in Butter-worth's district is 1,547, a Republican gain of Hi I. These figures will be pleasing for the contemplation of the next Congressional investigation." Elections, Tuesday, November 4th.

Hair-splitting theories and assertions about State rights and the national authority must cease from Southern leaders.

Can the Germans be Bought. Cincinnati Gazette, Oct. 22. In the last number of the Washington Capital appeared a letter from the pen of the Democratic writer, A. C.

Buell, on the cause of the Democratic defeat in Ohio. In that letter occurs an attack on the Germans which is not only wholly unjustifiable, but which has met with prompt attention in all of the Republican and Independent German newspapers of this State. Buell says "I have had some experience in the Ohio canvass, and from what I have seen of the way things are done there, I am of opinion that the man who bids highest for, say 10,000 or 12,000 votes that are always for sale in Cincinnati and one or two other large towns, car ries the State, or, rather, I should say, whenever the Republican managers buv those votes they win. vy hen the Republican managers do not buy these votes the Democratic ticket is elected. Probably three-fourths of these votes are cast by emigrants trom Hesse and neighboring German States, a race of people who have not changed much since 1777.

A.i tnat time tney sold or hired their bayonets to George to be employed in crushing the attempt of the American people to secure liberty. Now they all sen tneir ballots to the money power of the country, to be employed in crushing the attempts of the American people to preserve liberty."

It is, however, to be fearei that the Ephraim of the Enquirer is joined to his idols.

That paper is ctrtaiuly an old otfender, and safety riquires its teachings to be left alone. It has been the organ of fahte couuselorsauiong the Democrats ever since tht currency question was brought to thi front in the shape of the Ohio idea. Its teachings, had they been followed, would have been fatal to the resDration of the currency to a nermaiunt suecie basis. It has been the persistent spokesman of the firebrand elemint of the party. The Enquirer's balloon has burst at last.

It has been inflated a Ions time. but never showed any ability to make ascension. It is now tino for the true representatives of the old and en during principles of one of tte most re nowned political organizations in the country once more to resume their influence in their party untranimeled by spurious elements which have so long stood obstructively in Us path. Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.) This result ought to satisfy Demo crats of the folly of financial eqHivoca-tion. It shows conclusive! that the Ohio idea," so cailed, is, and has al ways been, a delusion and a snare.

Ewing was its strongest expression; Thurman its most respectable advocate. Both are retired. One is beaten for Governor, and the other loses his seat the Senate. It is too bad that such nbleand serviceable men should besac- hced to such a blunder. Democrats have now nothine but New York to look to.

If we lose New York, little less than a miracle will pave us. We iv as well take matters as thev are, and consider them from a practical standpoint. We cannot anora to deceive ourselves. worst fears of the Courier-Journal have come to pass. in tne light ot this great reverse.

wild and visionary Democrats must see error of their ways and make an effort to amend their folly. Their hopes are scattered. Their counsels have come to naught. They should go the rear and fall in line, ready to follow and obey. All is by no means lost.

But all will be lost if Democrats cannot be brought to a sense of their danger, and a comprehension and ap plication ot the strictest rules or party discipline. Philadelphia Record, Dem. The country can now set up a tomb stone for the grave of the "Ohio Idea," pass on to isues worthy the con sideration ot a civilized nation. Columbus, Democrat. Perhaps it would be just as well now for the Democratic party of Ohio cease crucifying itself upon the hobbies of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Gladstone Again.

Paris, Oct. 22. The Gaulois further says that Gladstone deprecated conten tion with Russia about Afghanistan, and said he believed there would not be any. India had absolutely nothing to fear from Russia, which has as much as she can do to hold her con quests in Turkestan. The Austro-German alliance, he said, was doubt less intended as a check to Kussia, but the importance of such an alliance should not be exaggerated, as Bismarck would abandon it as readily as he abandoned the parliamentary parties which had served his purpose.

Gladstone thought France and England had made mistake in permitting Turkey to resume her privileges in Egypt by the deposition of the Khedive that it was also a mistake to exclude the other Eu ropean Powers from 'sharing in Egyp tian control, roaa to xnuia must be retained by keeping up her maritime supremacy.

This is looked upon by thinking men as immoral, and there fore inconsistent with the dignity of an officer. Please inform this office, upon receipt ot this letter, whether this be true or not, and if true accom pany your statement with your resig nation.

The reply of Van Anker says that he is the only liepublican omcer in Pe tersburg, whose position on the debt question is well defined.

Louisiana Republican Platform. New Orleans, Oct.

The Re publican State Convention adopted a resolution that it is the deliberate judg ment of this convention that an act of more enormous injustice to the State of Louisiana and to the Republican party could not be perpetrated by the National Senate than depriving this State of one of its Senatorial represen tatives. Hon. AVilliam Pitt Kel logg, after his claim to the seat he now occupies has been already deliberately acted upon. The resolutions further declare that no Government of, for, and by the people can exist when the ballot is not free, nor when the result of the ballot is changed by fraudulent corrupt re turns.

Hundred Pound Method of Measurement Soon to be In troduced. The substitution everywhere of the hundred pounds avoirdupois as the unit and uniform standard of weight for produce transactions, in place of the bushel, quarter, hundred weight of 112 pounds, and ton ot 2,240 pounds, is greatly to be desired. The subject is of such importance that it has of late occuuied the atten tion of boards of trade and produce ex changes in this country and elsewhere. rhe system is in general use in ranee, Italy, Spain, and some portions of England. It is also in vogue on the Pacific Coast, at San Francisco and Oregon.

It has been adopted by commercial bodies in more than twenty cities in the Union, including New York, Phila delphia, and Boston in fact, it was ruied at the JNew iork Produce Exchange that on and after October 1, Ail produce sold by weight on tnis Exchange shall be by the pound avoir, dupois and by its multiple, the cental, or 100 pounds A similar ruling was made in lioston, but JN ew 1 ork has concluded to postpone opera tions till January next, at which time, very likely, the exchange or the three cities named will make the new de-departure together. Some of the difficulties and incon- veniencies incident to the multitorm standards now in use will appear from the following: "The "bushei has nearly as many significations as there are kinds of grain. For instance, though a bushel ot wheat is 60 pounds through out the United States, with some half dozen exceptions, and a bushel of rye 56 pounds, a bushel ot oats in Connecticut is 28 pounds, in New York 32 pounds, in New Jersey 30 pounds, and in Pennsylvania 33 pounds, while in Oregon it is 36 pounds. In Oregon buckwheat is 42 pounds to tne bushel, in Illinois and several other States 52, while in South Carolina it is 56. The Barley bushel in Louisiana means 32 pounds, iu California 50.

Salt varies trom 56 pounds to tne busnei in Maryland to 70 in Vermont and 85 in Penn sylvania, and so on ad libitum. ine exporter orwneat irom cmcago buys it here by the "bushel," freights it to New ork by ran at so much per 100 pounds, tranships it to England by the bushel, sells it at Liver pool by the "cental, at JLonoon oy tne "quarter of 480 pounds, at Hull or Newcastle by tne "quartei oi 504 pounds, at Dundee and some other places by the "quarter ot 496 pounds. Cut meats are oougnt at cmcago ana shipped to the seaboard by the 100 pounds avoirdupois, ireighted to ting-laud bv the ton of 2,240 pounds, and sold there by the hundred weight of 112 pounds. in the ngnt ot these illustrations ar gument is not necessary to show that a universal adoption of the cental sys tem would greatly simplity trade pro cesses, since a cental ot wheat or oats would mean 100 pounds every time and everywhere, and reduce buying, selling, insuring, transporting, to the minimum as regards the labor of computation. Great Britain is aoout taking steps to legalize tbe cental, or "new hundred weight," throughout the kingdom.

In view, therefore, of the definite shape the movement has taken in so many and so widely separated places, we may safely say that the day can not be far distant when everywhere this new, simple and feasible system will sup plant the old. Steam Navigation. Cincinnati, Oct. 22. In the Nation al Board of Steam Navigation, Gener al J.

S. Negley read a statistical report of the amount of commerce last year, in which he said the cotton crop of last year was the largest on record, be ing 6,800,000 bales, 70 per cent, of which was exported.

is BENNETT, TnE "PERSECUTED TERRIBLE INHUMANITIES The "Teacher of Morality" Libidinous Old Lothario. Chicago, Oct. 21. The Reliyio-Phil- osophical Journal tor October 2 will contain an exposure of D. M.

Bennett, at present in Albany penitentiary for circulating obscene publications, and whose partlon the Liberal Convention held at Cincinnati demanded in a se ries of resolutions. The Journal pays the facts are that while Bennett was laving a claim to his right to be con sidered a public teachor of better mor als than the prevailing Christian religion afforded, he was endeavoring with a beastly persistence to obtain control of the person of a young woman, who had touched his tavor ana wuonaa been induced to accept a salaried situ ation in his office, evidently under the design on his part to obtain her consent to become nis mistress. The advances ot the libidinous old Lothario produced only astonishment and disgust on the part of his intended victim, but in spite of her repeated protestations against this course, she was made the object or attentions mat assumed the character ot villainous persecution. He boldly proclaimed to her that his home and wife were dis tasteful to him, that his love there had long since died, and that she alone of women was tne ouject oi nis unaying ove. It only added to his unholy flame that she who refused to listen to him bore an unblemished reputation.

In one ot his persecuting letters he said: "I now believe you could bave yielded to my wishes, done all I wished you to do, yielded to all my most villainous desires, and I believe you would still be as pure, as good and as virtuous as you are to-day. I have no reverence for the ceremony mouthed over by a priest, and because a man and woman join themselves together under a mistaken belief that they are fitted to each other, it does not follow that they are compelled to spend their days together." The article in the Journal says by way of comment as presenting the side of Freethinkers who must now leave Bennett to his fate: That whatever may be his proper grounds of complaint against the Court before whom he was tried, and however much many Spirit ualists and may nave believed in him, being deceived, no honest exponents of these parties can longer acknowledge him to be their representative. The significance of the disclaimer made by the Rehgio-Philosophical Journal of the actions and utterances of D. M. Benett, of obscene literature fame, is that the better section of the liberals in religion, have become disgusted with the championship by Robert G.

Ingersoll of this man, whose whole past life is objectionable, not only to Christians but to all decent men. They object to being placed in the position to which Ingersoll would commit them of apologizing for or de- tending Bennett.and ot being led away from the Republican party because that party and its President consistently opposed pardoning him for his most heinous misdeeds. His letters as published reveal a depth of iniquity in private life to which few men have snnk. Practiced in the Milwaukee House of Correction. Milwaukee, Oct.

22. The Sentinel of to-morrow mornings will contain an account of horrible atrocities in the Milwaukee House of Correction. This institution is used at the discretion of the Court as a State prison. An intelligent convict just released, whose character for veracity is vouched for by prominent persons who know him intimately, states that he has been an inmate for two years, and all that time has not been allowed to write to his friends or counsel, and his family have supposed him dead. He says the bread furnished the convicts, for which the county pays $6 per barrel, is damaged cow feed, and cannot be baked, and that the meal putrid.

During his conhne- ment. embrvos, calves, dogs and glandered horses were furnished as meat, and he brings the bones as proof, which are in the possession of the editor oi the sentinel, i ne aetans of the deed are horrible beyond expression. Of the brutalities of the keepers, he says he was beaten and put in a black hole, which is a bithy dog kennel, nve feet four inches by five feet. A man cannot lie at length in it, and there is no ventilation. The floor is covered with ordure and urine.

Men nave been placed there for 20 days, and two have died in it. A chair factory is connected with the institution, and it is charged that the police are in collusion with the su perintendent to kidnap men to worn at chairs. A Switch Maliciously Misplaced. Cincinnati, Oct. 21.

Seri ous trouble is brewing. A train at Los Vegas, Colorado, was just pulling out of the yards when it was boarded by nve robbers, all in masks and all heavily armed.

They at once seized the express messenger, Sam Monroe, overpowered him, and took from him nis keys. Thev then opened the Express Companv's safe and rifled it of nearly $.34,000. The outlaws then dropped off the train while in motion and escaped. The train men ana passengers were all ig norant ot tne attair tor several hours.

When he mentioned Grant as having vetoed i the Inflation Bill there was great ap-; plause, and three cheers were given for Grant as the next President. Senator Blaine was present on the platform, simply to listen, but when the audience saw him, they would not be content til he made them at least a brief speech.

In consequence of this systemat-Jcourse lying, Mr.

An important step toward securing a mutual understanding between miners and operators was taken at Pittsburgh Tuesday, in the adoption, by the fonner.of a series of regulations, the effect of which are to refer hereafter all disputed questions to a Board of Conciliation and Arbitration. The operators adopted the rules without dissent. The miners, though generally in favor of them, are sticking upon a regulation which refers to the Board local questions in individual pits only with the mutual consent of the parties.

Should the obstacle be cleared, a long advance will be made in the direction of harmony and good will in the future. How about the Tuscarawas Valley? Bennett, the convicted publishef of obscene literature, upon whom so much sympathy has been expended, turns out to have a biography. In his zeal to corrupt the youth of the country and to besmirch the reputation of every Christiam minister, he has beeu singularly remiss in cultivating those poiuts of moral character which one would naturally look for in a public teacher of morality. In fact, his letters convict him of a deliberate, a fiendish attempt to debauch a respecta- ble young woman, in doing which he would have brutishly cast to the winds every tie which a man of honor acknowledges toward his wife and family. And yet Bennett's "exposure" will surprise no one who has read his disreputable sheet.

He was simply fol- lowing out the theories which he has been advocating; that's all. In connection with the reports that the Knights of Labor are sending delegates to different points in numerous States to organize a general strike for eight hours and an advance of wages and a promiscuous stirring up of strife between employers and employed, there is significance in the refusal on Monday of the Messrs.
