Rate of 'discounts to-day were stead at tie quotation ot Saturday. Sterling- exchange was a trifle lower. Government bond were buoyant, several issues advancing materially. The stock market was active and firmer, with a general rise in prices in the forenoon, followed by fluctuations which canceled only part of the rise, leaving the list higher than oa Saturday. The advance In the stronger stocks of the active list was as follows: St.

Paul 1J4, Lake Shore Denver and Rio Grande Michigan Central 1, Union Pacific ljf, NashvUle and Chattanooga 2, Texas Pacflo 1, Jersey Central etc. L. and X. declined and Richmond and Danville 7. The Western grain markets were strong, but prices were without important Improvement except com.

Seaboard markets were relatively strong- for both corn and wheat, Provisions at most points were firm. Cotton was active, but futures underwent a slight decline. The live stock markets dloplajed a firm feeling. In London, English consols were strong and advancing, and several American railroads scored a handsome rise. In English market provisions were dull, cotton was firm, and com had a further advance.

THE OHIO ELECTION. Gov. Foster, of Ohio, has an unquenchable ifmbition to goj to the United States Senate. He suddenly changed his base ou the liquor question because be thought he saw bis Senatorial chances brighten by afliiiating with the Prohibitionists, who cost 10, 000 votes last year. No man was more hostile to prohibition than lust year, but, like a good many other fellows who arc itching for office, hf thinks he can advance himself by playing: the "law and order" game and defying the German Republicans, who are the strength the Republican party in Ohio.

It was through Fun-en's efforts that the Republican Convention made the extreme utterances which have' disgusted the German Republicans, will, undoubtedly-, by their defection, bring largo losses on the Republican party. Tho Philadelphia Times' Columbus correspondent gives the following points: "A Governor Is not to be elected this year and there will be a failing oil in the vote of last year on that account, although the Congressional contexts will keep the figures up to or thereabout i. The vote last fall reached and FosTta's majority was The offices" So be filled are-Secretary or State, Judge of the Supreme Court and a member of the Board of Puulia Works. The Democrats figure out a victory In this way: They claim Hamilton county, laclutin the city of Cincinnati, by 8,000 at least. If not by 10,000, although it went for Posts a last year by 4,800 majority.

They also claim Cuyahoga county by 1,000. It gave Foa-Tra over Brookwaltkb last year. The Republican loss in these two counties on this score' be 17,000, leaving them only 7,080 of their last year's majority. It is tlalmed by the Democrats thai this will be overcome' and more la Co- luinhus, Daj ton and Toledo, and that gains In the country will sweH the Democratic majority to lar.e tlzures. To get this they count on the German vote going Democratic and the Prohibition vote remaining Intact.

On the. other hand, the ReoubHcans will not concede the State ticket te the Democrats in Hamilton county by more than and will not concede Cuyahoga, Including Cleveland, at all. Calling It a stand-off, they would lose In these two counties 13,000, and would still have a majority of 11,000 left. Out-aide of these counties the Republicans clnlra that the Democrats will not gain in spots more than they will loe In others, and tbat the Republicans will get the bulk of the Prohibition vote besides. It lx pretty certain that both parties are putting th' ir figures too higlu Undoubtedly the Detmv crats can only ho for a victory by great gains, in the dries, for they can not affect the country vote to any great extent." The same correspondent thinks the l5cra-ocrats will only get sine Congressmen out of tho twcnty-oDc to be elected; but that would bo a guin of four.

The Philadcl-, phla Record's Cincinnati correspondent concludes a letter on the Ohio -fight as follows: good Deacon RicaAan Sxrra. his wicked ritaers and the Gaaette are fighting the Repub licaa county ticket la the hope of strengthening the lb-publican State ticket among the farmers; lor, although good Deacon take his toddy whenever he feels like it, and never allows the suiuet to be obscured in the bottom of "his tura- bier by any liquor left over, he Is an advocate for the Puritan Sunday and the close restriction of the. liquor traffic. His paper has the most Influence ot the three mentioned la this fight. It is thrown squarely agaiust the Germans, because the Germans have always disdained to patronise its Sunday edition of pleadings and goody goody advice.

And these Germans should also be men-. tloned, aa they arc an eleuient of marked Importance. Their aggreskive leaders are the HMera, the men who wre kicked out or who crawled out of Germany oa account of their participation in the riots and evolutionary insurrections of 1843. They are all members of the Turn Ve-reln, possess a military organisation of great strength and are all Infidels. They are Squarely and unequivocally in favor of free men and free Sunday.

And this interest, being that of their pockets, hearts and stomachs, is far more potent than the interests ot their traditions as members the Republican party. the result wiU be Is hard to say. The Democratic party In Ohio has been beaten and buffeted so often and so badly that there Is no manhood left in It. It possesses no courage, and only one man. solitary and alone, who dares to face the Issue.

That man Is Judge Hoadlet, a lawyer of great ablljty aada-maaof Integrity; but he lacks Uscr-i0n, I If he trie to go around a tAUar ho Is aura to bump bis bead. Senator Pajrotxro baa nothing but discretion, which bo considers to be foxlneas. and not tho eoun even of a boose fly. fie and everybody else In uxo Democratic party is skulk ing first behind this stump and then behind that. Josx Shkbxax or Gov.

Foots eaa'to-day scare any Ohio Democrat off his base by merely flourishing a toy pistol. What Is needed by the Democrats is courage, large lots of it; but they do not seem to be able to get more than a few dollars worth, and all of that has passed Into the possession Of Judge noADLTT." There is a good deal of truth in that last remark. The Democratic party needs courage In. a good many States besides Ohio. It has been ducking before ham-merles old Republican horse pistols too I -v delator LToar having proposed to bring the tariff question Into the Massachusetts campaign, and dose the factory men with horrible yarns about the poor-house and starvation as sura results of any disturbance of the present tariff, the Boston Herald manufacturers have reaped a harvest of grain at the expense of the dwellers of the Went and boutb.

In spite of the development of cot-ton manufacture in the Southern, and of the iron industry in the Western, States, ourbtate would, lor some time, to come, receive in these taxes morv than it was obliged to pay out The direct benefit of this is not widely oistribuled, for the actual gain goes to those who have a direct S-i protected Industries. Abese, it I true, furnish employment to a large number of operatives; but employment in tut same or another form would be supplied here or elsewhere to these workingmen if there were no tariff at ail, while, so long as no prohibition is put pa the immigration of labor, and the labor market is sustained in price by non protected industries, the tariff has only a slight influence on wages. hatever enthusiasm others may enter-teruin on tho subject of protection, there is no good reason why the workingman, even in Mas-sachusetta, should get excited on this subject, while out of this and one or two other Stated a change would greatly enlarge bis opportunities. It may be asked why any one in this htate should interest himself In seeking to take from Maua-chUHetUher privilege as general tax-gatherer. If the people in the jdoutb and West do not object, why suouht we endcovor to stir up discontent among them? An answer to this would be that, apart from the fact that, numerically, the number of losers by protection in Massachusetts much larvertban the number of gainers, our community is, in the long run.

Influenced by the prosperity of the whole country, if the entire list of duties were to bo annulled to-morrow, many of our Industries would bo paralysed, borne would never recover, others would have for a time a hard struggle; but, In the end, those that survived, and the new ones that could then nave come into existence, would have a vitality which nomj now possess, while the country at large, freed from the task of support-ing, at a coot of hundreds of millions of dollars a year, industries which are not naturally prollu able here, would make a progress in prosperity such as the world has never yet seen. Surely, it Is belter to desire the welfare of the whole country, in which we all share, than to wish to maintain a ttrstcm by which only ft small section of the country can by anv possibility profit, while the rest must suffer. If we are to have the issue of protection raised here, its Istrictly sectional character quite as sectional as the old issue ot slavery ought to be clearly understood. If Senator Uoar makes tha llasaarhtjBetta campaign a tariff fight, tha low-tariff men could not do a better thing than to circulate Webster's speech delivered in April, 1824, in cheap form, with a few- appropriate comments, in every factory in the State. The latest expression of partisan imbecility may be found in the following utterance of the Council Bluff Nonpareil: "The Republican party stahds forth to-day with cleaner hands aud whiter skirts than anv political party the world ever knew.

Its frequent prosecution and punishment of puUic plunderers stands forth as an exceptional tiling, and its scrupulously honest collection and disbursement of the public moneys, supply an illustration of honest administration the Democrat never attained and in the nature of things never could attain," If anybody has seen the Republican party with clean bands and a whltie shirt on during the last twenty years, it would be inter eating to know who he, really is. A good deal ot bad whitewash has been daubed over the rotten concern, but it peels off so easily that it is of no avail. I Representative Geo. D. Wise, Democratic candidate' for Congress, and ex-Congressman Joh.v Ambler Smith, the Mahone candidate, had a quarrel during a political speaking at Richmond, in which Wise was struck in the face by Ssf rrn.

Although Wise was arrested on the charge of being about to engage in a an unconfirmed rumor says that they have ktuce bad a hostile meeting, rbore is no need of the dueling pistol in the Virginia campaign. There is no need of it anywhere. A murder even according to tho "code" proves nothing. It is a barbarous resort, and no more heals an honor hurt than does a refusal -to engage in it stamp a man a coward. Tns Massachusetts manufacturers are roaring and raging and threatening over the prospect of tariff revision, They vwant the present infamous and indefensible system of extortion, by which their little section is enriched at the expense of the South and West, continued forever.

Let tho people reflect that a few, men in New England and Pennsylvania, enriched by the tribute they have collected from, their fellow-citizens, openly and boldly and impudently jpropose to fight every effort to reduce the burdensome tariff taxation which makes every workingman pay these stuck-up barons! an average of forty-threo per cent, on all the necessaries of life he bays. 1 Bates, the corset man, in his remarks before-the baron's Tariff Commission the other day, said that if a duty was imposed on horn strips the whole business of corset manufacturing would go to the dogs in this country. Bates asserts tlsat no American has ever been able to make horn strips, and the corset-makers are obliged to import them from Paris. It is singular that American mechanical genius fails at horn strips, and that protected manufacturers should continue to humiliate themselves by buying the product of "European pauper labor." Postmaster General Howe is away from Washington, mending fences in Wisconsin, where the factions of the Republican tmrty have been tearing each other's eyes out. The P.

M. G. has succeeded in stopping the quarrel between Boss SIxtes and Hazlxtox, who were both running for Congress in the "Madison district, but there are other districts where Howe's services are needed; so the old gentleman goes abouttho State, a political nurse, with a milk bottle, to quiet the children.

That is about what a colored lawyer remarked at a colored meeting in Buffalo the other night.

Strange morality that! Coxsri. Woartox, located at Sonne-burg, Germany, in a recent report to Department of said; "If laborers can not be found in the United States let our manufacturers Import themj for there are thousands here, living on mere pittances, who would only bo too glad to find employment in tho United States." And then tho Consul goe on to show bow cheaply these people will work for American manufacturers.

OCTOBER 10, 1882. keen wages down, draw-in this "tmtitimv la. bor" from a country where a stiff protective tariff is in force, and where, according to the apostles of protection in the United States, every man and woman ought to be getting tho highest kind of wages.

Consul Whaktoit evidently understands the tricks and peculiarities of American protected manufacturers. There is an opportunity for a great deal of annoyance over the garbled school-tax law. The Attorney General is of the opinion that two cents was alt tbat was intended to be, or that can bo collected. The Auditor, acting on this, issued circulaH to tho county Sheriffs, directing them tcollect two cents additional tax over and above tho amount of forty-fire and one-halfcents on $100 worth of property which has already been partially collected. Yesterday the Secretary of State issued a circular to tho Sheriffs or Collectors of State revenue which decide it a three cent levy, and instructs them to act It is probable, however, that only two cents will be collected.

President Arthur was at New York yesterday contemplating the "rueful ruin" alluded to by Folger the result of his own interference with the free action of his party in the' SUte. The President, no doubt, realizes that tho majority of New York Republicans are hostile to his ticket, but there is no help for it. The deed is done and Judge Folger has declared his willingness to be led as a lamb to the slaughter. The Stalwart Republicans hope to use the Federal machinery, provided for Congressional elections, to control the vote for State officers, but they -can work even that potent machinery at a disadvantage this year." The Stalwart New York Commercial Advertiser recently made a very full and emphatic declaration of the fraudulent process by whicb Hates was seated in tho House, admitting that Jlr. Tildes was robbed of his electoral votes and so cheated out of the Presidency.

Several other Republican organs have fully admitted the fraud and forgery perpetrated by their party in 1876-77. When the Republicans get to quarreling among themselves we get all the admissions of Republican rascality out of the organs euHicieut to establish Democratic charges. The Prohibitionists should send an energetic delegation to the Hoonnh end Auk Indians of Alaska, who are permitted by the Federal Government, in defiance of the laws, to manufacture large amounts of hoocueenoo, the Alaska whisky, for home consumption. Hoocheenoo fa, in every sense of the word, fire-water. It is "hotter'n a lime-kiln, and beats' any compound made in the States.

There is undeniably a fine field open in Alaska for a genuine philanthropic Prohibitionist, but there being no political chances in the Territory no American agitators will go there. There are four tickets in the field in California Democratic, Republican, Greenback and Prohibition, and a fifth is about to be launched by the people who are opposed to tho destruction of their farms and the filling up of the rivers of the State by the mining debris, permitted to wash down from the mountains by the great mining companies. The fifth ticket will be known as the Anti-Slickens ticket. The debris is called jslickens." The great bridge between Brooklyn and New York, which in 1807 was estimated to cct $7,000,000, has already cost and is far from completion. OL course tho structure represents a good deal of stealing, but the New York people are so accustomed to be fleeced that they are only gnvnbling at the delay in opening the bridge for traffic.

It will probably knock the ferryboat business to smithereens at least that in its vicinity. Gov. CeitteSdex, of Missouri, denies the story that he introduced Fraxk James to Mrs. Critte.vdex as his "friend." It is gratifying to note such denial, and it is to be hoped that a good many other Misaourians can demonstrate that they did not allow themselves to be caught by the tide of absurd and unpardonable enthusiasm over a notorious bushwhacker, highway robber and murderer. Not a member of the Republican Committee in the Eighth district knew Ewell, who was recently nominated at Danville.

A friend, at the gentleman's reqnest, suggested his name, and the convention jumped at the opportunity of inveigling a sacrificial lamb. His friends won't recognize him when Phil Thompson gets through with him. WnxiAM Mahoxe, the Republican tool in Virginia, got another column editorial puff from GoRHAJf the other day. Gorhax takes great credit to himself that he brought out Mahoxs, whom he regards as the leading, the most exalted, character in modern political history, except Gorham. The London Telegraph says the Democratic party is composed of "dynamiters, Fenians, hordes of assassins from Russia and gangs of Socialists from Germany and 8orae designing Buttercup mixed the political babies up before the Telegraph got hold of them.

The recent reports of Mr. Arthur's impaired health may possibly be renewed with some foundation in fact since he has abandoned the free air of Alexandria Bay and has returned to the arena of heavy dining and wining with little or no healthful exercise. A srMBEB of "Moroan's mcnn met at Lexington yesterday and effected an organization. Mrs. K.

The London Telegraph has a very foolish article on American politics, expressing fear that the success of the Democratic party would bode ill for England.

Your London contemporary, which founds its article on a quotation from an obscure weekly paper, insists that the Democ ratio party includes "the dynamiters and Fenians, and broods pf assassins from Russia and the gangs of Socialists from Germany and and it adds that all of these the Democratic party will have to humor if it is to win the day. I'nmitlaatea' Love. Cable special: A fashionable dressmaker in Berlin yesterday emulated the example of the unfortunate Mile. Feyghine. Her lover, a well-known speculator on the Bourse, named Davilshon, informed ber that he intended to break off.

When the police broke into the apartment, they found a not beside ber body asking tbat she be buried by the side of ber lover. The event created great excitement in Berlin, both the parties being very well known.

Joha Bright Eclipse. Cable' special: Mr. John Bright continues to be attacked sharply by the leading Radical Journals for declaring the Egyptian war te bo "unjust and unnecessary." The can-cut is against him, and it is even said that at the next election he will lose his seat for Birmingham, just as he lost bis seat for Manchester at the time of the Crimean war. It is rumored in political circles that Mr. Bright wiU retire from public life at the close of the present year, poibly at tho celebration of his "silver wedding" with the town of Birmingham, which ho has represented in the House of Commons ever since August, 1857.

This much is quite certain, tbat at present no is under a total eclipse. Ohio Election Cincinnati Commercial special: Perhaps never before in the history of the Buckeyo State has there been so little reliable information at band on tne eve of an election. Both parties have been fighting the battle in the dark, and both have been rather doubtful of the result. Old politicians ha vet throughout the campaign, when approached for news, shook' their heads and freely ad-, mittod that they had none andhad never witnessed a campaign before in whicb it was impuwibie to arrive at some conclusion. This time tho "old reliable" fellows give it op, while now and then a younger band tip the bellows is ever readr to 'udS' hi mario- tiona.

Simmered down, the political proph ets are without honor in their own or any other country, and th best that can be gathered Is mere guess-work. sma. Comet ilemetf. London special: Th comet is aH th talk in scientific circle at present, and I may say that our celestial visitant is being regarded with considerable apprehension. Mr.

Richard A. Proctor, who denied that it was the comet of 1843 and 1SS0, finds that bo made a mistake In his calculations, and- so has withdrawn his statement. More cautious astronomers than he have no doubt of the Identity of the comet, and believe that it will return at the latest in October, 183, and then fall into the sun, with results which will enable you to dispense with the future publication of too World. I am assured that this is the opinion of the most eminent scientist of the day Mr. C.

Piazza 8myth, the clever if eccentric Astronomer Royal for Scotland, in particular having mad no secret of bis' belief. Washington special: Frof. Skinner, of the Naval Observatory, was interviewed this evening in regard to the London prophecy concerning the comet. He said that the prediction from London may come to pass about the time but he would not like to vouchsafe a prediction of his own until bo has had an onportunitv to make further observations. He thought that if the present comet was the one of 1S43 or 1880 it was verv evident it was out of its orbit, and may fall into the sun, but with what result he was unwilling to hazard any predictions.

Boston special in Cincinnati Gazette: Prof. Pickering, of Harvard College, wai seen this evening and questioned with regard to the opinion of Prof. Proctor and other English and continental scientists that tho present comet fa that of 1843 and 1880. and that it will again return in 1883 and fall into the sun, causing a ternbla disaster to the earth. The Professor said: "You may say-that the scientists of Cambridge Observatory-hold no such views.

They have no fears of the earth's destruction through such a coU hsion between the sun and the comet. Thr4 probable explanation of Prof. Proc tor's theory is jthat he believes that the comet of 1843 reappeared in 18tt0, and has again appeared st the present time. From this it fa probable that he infers that the periods of the comet's appearance are growing less and less, thus showing a shortening of its orbit, wuich be claims will eventually, as it approaches nearer and nearer the sun, cause it totumUeinto it. At first Prof.

Proctor did not believe tho preseut comet was the same that came to the astronomers in 1S43 and in ,1880, but fa now satfatied that it fa the same. This conclusion on his part may have been helped by the report of Prof. Boss, of the Dudley Olwervatory, who oi aimed that the comet of thoe years fa but the reappearance of the same one at different periods of time. This claim is based on the fact that this comet, if it is the same that appeared in 1843 and I860, has leen cradualiy decreasing its orbit, and fa now appearing after intervals of two years, instead of at intervals of thirty or forty years. The Professors of the Cambridge Observatory do not lelieve the present comet is the same that appeared in 1880, although they are somewhat similar, nor do the Cambridge Professors believe that the present comet will return in 1884.

They believe it will not return in several years, and they haven't the least apprehension 1 of the terrible calamity predicted by Prof. Proctor." CRIME. Heavy Hevnrd For the Capture of tho Murderers of A. W. Jtoss at Glen-dale, Ohio An Old tend Settled By a lievolver Shot.

Bllfl OFFICES MUEDEE.ED BY E0BBEE3. Cixcixxati, Oct. 9. Most active work is being done by the police under the stimulus of a heavy reward offered for the arrest of the murderer, or murderers, of A. W.

Ross, at Glendale. The most generally accepted theory is that the murder was done by persons who knew Mr. Ross habit of coming home by the late train on Saturday night, and that he was accustomed to alight from the train at the crossing near his home instead of riding on to the depot. His body was found within 150 feet of the railroad showing that he was attacked immediately after leaving the train. He was struck both from behind and in front.

He had in his hand a small revolver, which he had never begun to carry until two weeks ago. It was uncocked and all the chambers full, showing he was attacked unawares. The robbery was done so hastily and incompletely as to show that the work was not done by professionals. No weapon was found with which it was thought the murder was done. The wounds indicate an iron rod or bar.

There will bo a meeting of the village Council to-night to offer a reward for the arrest of the murderers. The County Commissioners to-day offered a reward of 1 2,000 for the arrest and conviction of the murderer. The Coal Exchange, of which Mr. Ross was a member, to-day voted to give to the widow the sum of $2,000. FRAXK JAMES.

Stockdalo, editor of the Wool Grower and Farmer, who was one of a com-rnittee appointed by the wool growers of Washington county. to bring the wool question to the attention of the Commission. He Broke of the solicitude with which th farmers of Washington county watched the progress of the Commission, and woui await its report. Washington county, he said, produced more wool on the same extent territory than any other part of the States. It was the pioneer in the production of wool in this country, particularly of thr finer qualities of wool; to overturn or to do press that interest now would be aim or) equal to a public calamity.

The prices at-wool at present were insufficient to justify a continuance of that business, and yet the competition from Australia, with its cheap land and its facilities for raising sheep, wa so great as to threaten the destruction of tho wool producing interest in Washington county. He read a report of the proceedings of. tho Wool-growers' Convention of Washington county, in which it is claimed that the present duties on wool are wholly inadequate to afford the protection absolutely necessary, and the suggestion is made that the wool which now iavis three cents a pound shall pay nine cents. Bind that all other wool shall pay fifteen cents a pound and twenty per cent, ad valonm He said that there was a capital of 13,000,000 invested in sheep in that county; that there were about 800,000 sheep there, and that the number had increased twenty-trye per cent, and tho yield per fleece from three to five pounds sine tho tariff of 1807 went into operation.
