niihR of your ur 1-1 ,11, rr 1'ilK'itt IJ 1'U li.Vi' Blaine Carries Ohio by 13,000.1 The Election in Ohio yesterday was most remarkable struggle in any State for fifty years. The State was one great Camp. Speaking, and paraaes, an1 l.rass hands, and companies of uniformed men, carrying torches, and yelling for their favorite, filled every town and village until the Polls closed. Business houses, especially the Iron Mills, aud wool factories, shut their doors and made their men work for the Tariff! The result is about as was expected. The Republicans carry State by 'over ten thousand, and Mr Blaine adds another peg towards "making his calling and election sure." The latest dispatch given in Daily Observer, dated at 2 o'clock this morning shoA a uet Republican gain of nine thousand on the Hoody vote of last year.

Also a gain of two Congressmen; less than they expected. The vote yesterday makes plain that Ohio will give Blaine at least 5,000 majority. West Virginia has stood lirru. The vote in that State was so complicated by local questions that a saccess for the Greenback-liepublican-liailroad ticket was feared. But the result shows that Cleveland will carry the State by 4.0W) or more.

A. young man named Toby Banff, aged 21, formerly of Newborn, came to Ualeigh to learn the machinists trade but fell into bad habits. lie had been drinking in the morn ing, and had asked his mother to take him back with her to She refused, whereupon he became very aogry, and grasping a bottle containing a mixture ot quicksilver and muriatic acid, which he had prepared for cleaning silver, he flung the contents into his mouth.

With a shriek his mother caught his teeth with her hands and forced some of the fluid out upon the floor, which it burnt as it fell. He bit' one of her fin gers to the bone, but she held on till she had got all out that was possible. A doctor was hurriedly sent for, but before he arrived Hanff became violent and flung himself around the room in a fearful manner. Mr. Richards, one of the boarders, came in at that moment was unable to hold him and was flung to the side of the house three times.

When the doctor arrived the two managed with the aid of a strap to match his violence, and some oil and emetics were forced into his mouth, but so desperate was his purpose to end his life that he caudit the spoon in his teeth and held it so firmly that the two gentleman had a hard task to get it out. Two doctors arrived, and alter a hard stiuagle got Hanff into better condition, but -he was considered still in danger last night. He said he felt as if he were burning ud inside.

Lincoln I'ress. SHARI" SHOOTINO. "Wc agree with Governor Jarvis that no Stale has a right to be prouder ot her citizen soldiery than North Carolina, aud.

unlike him. we think the State Guard of no State has been so ill treated by the commanding officers. Never was there a greater humbug than-the so called Encampment of the State Guard. The assembling of the companies' cost the State more than $2,500 and the individual members about ten thousand dollars; and all for Nothing! There was 110 drill by hat talious or rotriments, not a single cap tain, lieutenant, non con. missioned or pa-vate ba iii the slightest manner ins? in the drill beyond the companv.

except "sun slroke" which was thoroughly luiuhl to nioie than -forty oa the day of ope ning of tf 1 Imposition. The pnvao a ncd "the sun stroke movement" as Johnstone Jones said t-ev would, jwht-n Gov. Jarvis suggested that the march was too long tor the men. The honor of escorting or matching under the command of Jojiustone Jones who never will be a Genfral cxeept in lime of profound peace; tpie delight of being commanded by his f'subs," is not worth the money that the encampment, so called, eost the Stale, to say nothing of the expense of the rank and file. Not on'y is this true, but it is also a fact that not oae in throe of the mounted officers (stall) is competent, or by the greatest stretch of the imagination needed.

Take Brigadier General Taylor who was in command the first da The men were forced- to stand at a "Carry arms." for 33 minutes, while the Geucrals'aud staffplodged llawlc health in several bumpers in the Executive office. It may be safely asserted that it will be some time i n- another em ampnieiit is had in Raleigh The experience of last week was enough to deter the hardiest Holdier. Besides, when there is military encampment the soldiers want to drill, aud not march miles behind a lot of mounted officers who do nothing but raise dust for the men to inarch through. The State Guard to be must be commanded by officers who are not dead heads iu the business, aud whose aspirations are other than wreariug gaudy uniforms and riding -prancing horses. The Guard needs officers who are practical military men.

Men who when an encampment is held will drill the soldiers and not learn them Men who will not attempt to over up errors by asking the surgeons and newspapers to it mild." Long live the State Guard; down with its chief officers, except the Governor. Tarboro Southerner. We priut the above articles merely to show our readers what is being said in the State papers. As to the facts we know nothing; and we do not express any opinion on tin in. We think, however, that the blame, if any exists, should he divided.

The Governor is the commander-in-chief of the State Guard, and the is simply his adjutant. Jarvis iiiu-t have approved of Gen. Jones' course; because he rcceutiy gave him a new Commission to run for four years. This was done directly after the Farmer and Mechanic called for the nomination of a Governor who would select an Adjutant-General who would restore the time-honored, battle-honored 'Grey' uuiform, which had been proved by-years of trial the best color for actual service, even if there were no other reasons for retaining it. Rumor said the sudden re-appointment of Gen.

Jones was to keep Ycrke from putting in his man, if elected; but others considered that all "bosh," because there was not the le.fst prospect of York's election at that time. We allowed the thing to jiass without commeut, because of the danger to the Party (we received enough letters and from "old Confederates" endorsing our views (o fully wipe out the petty luajorily of LOO that our party got in. the last election,) and because we felt that Gen. Scales would do the right thing, and because we had assurances from many gallant men that they could not be forced into the "Regulation" rig: and finally because we believe Gen. Jones to have the gentlemanly feeling that will lead him to place his commission in the hands of the new coming Governor." Observer: It is said the reason why John M.

Capture of a Mysterious Naked Man. WaU-rbuiy, Oct. 12 The "naked man," a famous mysterious individual who has lightened women and by his occasional sudden appearance to them while traveling the road along the Nau-gutuck river was captured yesterday, and thus was ended a mystery of many yeais. AJ! previous efforts to capture the man or io discover his identity iia 1 frilled, although the co ai munii) was iuhy arous ed. lie proved to be Edward Chaltield, a weU-kuowu mil! Wright.

He was never suspected, and his acr ions are considered unaccountable. His wife aud family are highly respected. His capture does away with a nuisance aud terror. Mr. Buck Kitchen.

Milton a Democratic piper, says: There was some mention of drawing the color line at the outset of this campaign. A few eminent Democrats earnestly favored it. Elector Kitchen, a lesser but not a dimmer light, was positively for burning all the bridges, in his torchlight tirade at Raleigh. The Elector has pastured ever since up in the far corners of the west where hia seven candlesticks of effulgent wisdom have been hid as it were from the people of the middle section. It is astonishing how naked of judgment gentlemen otherwise clothed with distinguished ability oflimes appear.

In Rockingham the other day the negroes became so euthused with James W. Reid, the Democratic candidate for congress, that right in the presence of Col. Edwards, the Liberal Republican candidate, they took him on their shoulders from the stand and placed him in his buggy.

in which he had a rather pretty "young woman aud a gasoline lamp. The lady sang one or two scngs very sweetly, and then the man talked and sold his nostrum at a dollar a bottle. When he had disposed of thirty ur forty bottles, he said 'New, gentlemen belorc bi 'ding you good night) I will give an exhibition of the wonderful magnetic powers of my wife, who sits here by my side.

Now, one of yeu take hold of the end of it aud walk off and then let all the others take hold of it, and at the signal which I will give, she will take hold of the other end, and you will feel the shock About 150 men and boys grasped the thread aud walked off about half a block with it.

The light went out and the man's voice was heard: 'What have you in your my de.r The longe-a atiiugof suckers I ever saw in all my came in a sweet musical voice, and at the same moment the horses and carriage were driven off at a great speed, leaving the crowd holding on to the string cumpletely dumbfounded.

Hammond, of New York- Dr. Eugene Grissom is one of the most distinguished men in orth Carolina. Such distinction has he attained, indeed, in his profession that he is accounted by specialists one ot the most specialists in the Union. And he is ore of the most affable gentlemen in the world. His winning smile and pleasant speech who has not been the willing victim and witness of these i He is a man of restless activity, too, and of strong and daring convictions.

What other physician in so delicate a position could ever have come to be regarded as a political force? And he has been a strong political force without ever being a politician. For such- has been the weight of the man's personality that his convictions and opinions would even have thrust a Gubernatorial nomination on him, if be had ever been silly enough to allow it. At times when few men in the State could be- Republicans and maintain even Dr. Gns-oiu wi-a Republican and held one of the ycrv foremost positions of public trust under Democratic authority; and he is a Republican now. But the great secret of his greatness (for he is among our greatest living men) and especially of his influence is not his learning, (of the public is no judge) nor is it even his.

strength of char acter or his affability; but it is his unfailing sympathy for 'the unfortunate class to whose comfort and curing he has devoted his life. His sympathy is greater than his attainments are high, or than his manners are suave. Thousands of afflicted families in North Carolina which have been robbed of members by that misfortune in preference to which death would always be welcome, will bear wit ess to his greatness of heart.
