GALLIPOLIS. OCTOBEB 17, 1867. Our County Election. Elsewbcrewe publish the official vote of the election in this county. It will be seen that the Eepublicans lose three Representative, Sheriff and Prosecuting Attorney out of the aevencandidates on the ticket, and saveffie State ticket by only ninety-nintfmsjority.

This result was as unexpected to the Democrats as to the 'Republicans, and had theeffoct to make cheerful our opponents to a degree unknown for the past ten years at least. But reverses defeats and disappointments are good for discipline, if rightly understood and received; and we have hopes that this defeat will prove of signal advantage to us-in time to come. The cause of so marked a revolution in this county a loss of over 1,000 in the Union majority is apparent to every one at all conversant with the facts of the campaign. The attempt to carry, as a part of the Re publican platform, the question of negro suffrage, did the business The people Were not prepared just now to make bo radical a change in their organic law, and the result has been a defeat instead of a victory. The Question in itself may be just and risht in harmony with the great truths of the Declaration of Independence ana tne wise icacuingu of the Fathers still our people were not prepared for it their education and prejudices were all against it, and we all know, under such circum stances, it takes much time and discussion to work so important and radical a change, as this question of manhood suffrage presented.

But we. have faith that this reverse will prove of signal advantage to the Union organization. The Union army, in the war, had its Bull Run disaster, but its only effect was to make the Government more wise and discreet in its future movements, and the end was the more glorious and beneficent because of that disaster. So we think in this civil reverse. It will this better prepare us for the Presidential campaign of aext year, and so prepare us that the results 4.

will show a glorious victory. sssr The Bisvatch has a vile and unwarrantable attack on Messrs Graham, Kerb and Fenner, the Judg es of election in the 3d Ward of this, p.itr. It is of the lowest and mean est demcgougery of which that sheet, during the campaign, has furnished many examples. The charge is, that these Judges permitted negroes to vnte. in violation of law and their oaths.

Now, the editor of that sheet, if he has a thimble full of- brains knows that every mulatto who voted at thei3d YTard polls had just as good a right to the ballot as the aforesaid editor (has, and that, if the Judges had refused them the exer cise of that right, that they would then have violated their oaths of office aijd subjected themselves to prose cntion for damages. Such is the judicial decision of the meaning word white in the Constitution; first. byPcuben "Wood, a Democrat Su preme Judge of this State, and second, by every court before whom the question has toeen brought in the State. Only last year, or the year before, the Union Judges of election in. Pomeroy refused a mulatto his vote, whereupon Mr.

Cartkight, Democratic lawyer of that plaGe, brought suit for the mulatto against one of the Judges, and obtained judgment of 830 and costs, thus es tablishing his right, by judicial in terpretation, to vote. The decision of the courts has always been (not a decision, we believe to the contrary has ever been pronounced) that the word white in our Constitution means and includes every person having more white than black blood in his vpins. If the editor knew these things, then his article is simply th meanest demagougery; if hedid not, he is unfit to conduct any" sheet ex cept a Democratic one. The editor threatens the Judges with a prosecution. He dare not do it, for'then the Judges would be bus tained in their action, and he would be proven to be a common slanderer.

Another prosecution may proceed from it, and, according to our under standing of the law, should. We have a. law upon our statute books making it a'criminal offence for editor thus to Blander, and thereby fninrethe'Tepntation or character anv'one. If our Prosecuting Attor ney does his duty in the matter, said editor may find 6me for better thougfits in the lonely hours of a life.

THE ELECTIONS.

The Result. OHIO. The result in this State is better than we anticipated last week. As the returns were then coming in, they indicated the election of the Democratic State ticket. But that trial and disgrace is spared us.

The Union men have elected Gen. Haves, and the whole State ticket, by. a ma- ority of over 3,000. The Legislature is Democratic The Statcmah- Bays that body will be politically divided as follows: Senate Republicans, seventeen; Democrats, twenty majority three. House Republicans, forty-seven, Democrats, fifty-six majority seven; being on joint ballot a Democratic majority of ten members." This insures a Democratic Sena tor in place ef Hon.

a. x. Vallandigham has announced himself as a caqdidate since the election, and, if the mass of the party are consulted, he will get it. In the 2d Congressional district Gen. Cart is elected to Congress, by majority of over 1,300.

PENNSYLVANIA. This State, on tho State ticket, elected only a Supreme Judge. The Democratic candidate is elected by a Bmall majority. The Legislature is Republican in both Houses, showing a majority on joint ballot of 17. INDIANA.

The election in this State was only for members of tho Legislature and county offlcors: The Kepuoiicans have not only held their own, but in many parts of the State have mtde large gains. She will give General Grant, the next Union candidate for President, an overwhelming ma IOWA. Tim plnntinn in this State was for both State and local officers. Ihe majority on the State ticket will not be less than 30.UUU, witn fnnr.fifths of both branches of the Legislature. She is sure for Gen Grant for President next fall.

Taken altogether, the elections of Tuesday week, are in no wise dis eourasine to the Union organization, They have carried three out of the four States, on the popular vote, ana surely that is nothing forUnion men to be discouraged at, or for Democrats to reioice over. We have the inside track for the Presidential race, and with due vigilance and activity, we on maintain it. and eloct our cancii- dateby an overwhelming majority, What Andy Thinks of the Ohio Election. a a an of th'e The Washington city Republican of the 14th, gives an account of an inter view had with the President, on Saturday, by a conservative Republican, in which the President freely expressed himself on the late elections. It says: His attntion was called to an analy sis of the recent election in Ohio, where two great parties presentea eacn lis ticket.

The people looked at them both discriminately, and took tho soldier standard-bearer, Hayes, of the Republican party, thus seemingly rebuking the Democrats for nominating a Vallandigham man like Thurman, instead of a soldier, ad accepted an'd elected the legislative ticket of the Democratic and conservative party to prevent the re election of a Radical like Mr. Wade, thus repudiating the two extremes in politics, and then nt the same election they buried the disturbing question of negro equality. Said the President, "it is a remarka ble fact; it is the logic of events; it is the true lesson of the election, and what makes the fact still more remarkable jfi is tnat tms Tvonaeriui uisuiuuuauuu was made by the people themselves at the polls, and that these extraordinary results were obtained in the face of the misrepresentations that were constantly made in the press and upon the stump; and, 'furthermore, that the gov ernment ot tne State was in me uauus nf thn Radicals, and tho treasure ot their wealthy men was poured out like watar to aid them in carrvinjr the State. The people have conquered in spite of these appliances, and have pointed out the rirrht wav for others, disregarding the two dangerous extremes, and taking safe, high and Conservative ground asaid down in the August Philadel-rihia Convention of 1866, upon the Con stitution for the preservation of the States; and in favor of pure loyalty and a united and free country. jTSTThe Republicans papers, and the Union League Clubs, pretty generally throughout the country, sinco the election of Tuesday week, have been running up the nams of Gen.

Grant for next President, The. New York Herald comes out for him, and takes the following lines as its text: "So, toys, a final bumper.

Sherman's own friends declare that he could not be induced, by any con sideration, to run against Grant, if the Republicans should nominate the latter. S3" The Toronto (Canada) Globe, in an able article on the payment of our bonds, trea'ts tho Pendleton, Val landigham scheme as emenating from "some persons of unquestioned rascality." That is the way it looks to one uninterested. When repudi ation comes, in the shape of a depre ciated, worthless currency, as it surely will if the scheme is consumat- oA. it will not onlv look the same to our people, but they will very sensi-blyeel it to be so. BST The next day after the elec tion, the copper-democrats of Colum bus, being jubilent over the suppos ed election of Thurman, sent tue President a dispatch announcing the victory.

He replied by thanking them for the joyful information, and concluded by "God bless We wonder where the President, and the other Union men of Tennessee, would have been, if, during the war. they had looked to Thurman and his like for aid, instead ofto such as Gen Hayes. They would now have bad no home, and probably no heads. And yet, in view of the past record of these men, the President congratulates the country upon the supposed election of Thurman. How low whiskey and a bad heart, will sink a man.

I A Serenape Abandoned. The President wanted to make a speech in view of the late elections, but he was not permitted to do so, as mil be seen by the following telegram to the Cincinnati Gazette, dated the 10th: The Democratic evening paper yesterday announced, with a profusion of capital letters, that the Conservatives in the city, (the true Union men,) would serenade the President to night, and an announcement to the same effect was made in the Administration organ this inorn-inir The Democrats are afraid, i however, to let tne rresinent snow himself in a speech, and shrewd managers fronl tho North telegraph ed here tms morning protesting against any utterance by Johnson, at present. There was some excitement among the faithful about the matter, but the final conclusion was to abandou the serenade, and it is therefore announced, in the evening paper, that "the conservatives, with that delicate regard for the feelings of their political opponents, that has always characterized them, will not resort to any public manifestations of joy over that great popular triumph. The proposed serenade will be deferred to some future occasion when no harsh construc'ion can possibly be placed upon the demonstration." This curiously worded notice A a great aeai oi amusement among the Republicans'. A small crow(f gathered at the White House early in the evening, but finding1 there would be no serenade, they gazed longingly at the windows for a sight, and then went home.

CltESATEAKE AND G-HIO RAILROAD. The Cincinnati Commercial, of the 11th, says: Messrs. A T. Caperton, Lewis Rdffner and Jas. G.

Paxton, of West Virginia, are in the city for the purpose of interesting capitalists and business men in the completion of the Covington and Ohio Railroad. This road is an extension of the Virginia Central road, and steps have been taken to consolidate the two, to be known as tho Chesapeake and Ohio road. Its Eastern terminus is Richmand Va. It will have branches or forks touching the Ohio at the month ot Sandy and at Point Pleasant. Two hundred and five miles Richmond to Covington are already completed and being worked profitably.

The construction of-two hundred and twentv-live miles is necessary, though much' of the heavy work is done. The road is one in which Cincinnati has great interest, and-its merits can not be overlooked. California-Elections.

Oct. 10. The results of, the election in Ohio and Pennsylvania 'having been pretty well ascertained, there has not beetfso much excitement to-day as during yesieruay auu tne uay ueiuru, iuuiiu the crowds have thronged tbe'ijotel newspaper offices ana otner puDjic places, Ireely discussing tue greaCpo-litical events. It is but truth 'to state, that "the re sults surprised, bd th parties'especially tnat umo, ana it is aimcuit to ae-' clare whether Republicans or Democrats are the more astonished. Some of the latter who were regarded as over confident, were laughed at yesterday, for offering to bet that Hayes, for-Governor, would not have more than fifteen thousand, while no one up to lastxught was willing to take the chances that Thurman would be elected.

Ncsimi lar political event has excited greater interest among public men and politicians here, especially Presidential wire- workers, and it has been discussed to day, from the Presidential circles at the White House, down through all the various cliques and crowds of the town. The first question asked, What will Congress now do about impeachment? Is answered generally that, it may not be abandoned, it will not be pushed very vigorously. The President's friends say lie has no fears of impeachment, even if he ever had apy, will he intends to turn over a new leaf regard ing office-holders, commencingv'first with his Cabinet. In this direction, it may be stated with confidence, that, tho first change will be made in the ar Department General Grant will bo superseded in the course of ten days by either General McClernand, of Illinois, or Frank The State Department is looked for next in order, aud the Secretary ot too Treasury, and Postmaster General Randall will probably follow Mr. Seward.

There is more reasonable doubt of Secretary McCulIoch's suspension than perhaps, of any other Cabinet Minister's; but the President's Democratic friends are very hitter on the Secretary, and declare that he ha3 refused to assist them with a single offico in Pennsylva nia. It is doubtful if the President can withstand the pressure, and Mr. Mc- Culloch seems to feel it, for he declared to-day that he did not regard his tenure of office as very strong. The change of General Grant excites more comment than tho other Cabinet Ministers; for the removal of the latter have been generally anticipated, pro vided the election resulted against tlie Republican partv. Perhaps the greatest feature of the kliscussion is that pertaining to the im pending Presidential campaign.

Ine (Jolfax, Unaso and lirant men express their views freely. The former two do not favor the abandonment of manhood fcuffrage, but such Republicans as sup port Grant for President, declare that tho result Ohio shows that tho sut: fraac plank must be omitted in the next Uepublicnu Uonvention. The Washington Star, the largest circulated paper here, and Radical in politics, sounds the kep-noto of this-isU ter course. There are in Washington a large number of influential and wealthy men who are working zealouslv in the in terest of Mr. Chase for thePrcsidency, and they have taken the very deepest interest in the Ohio election.

Some of this number declare that policy requires them to keep quifct for the present, but they openly deny that they intend to dissolve their organization. To sum up these expressions of the views of the various parties, there is a general concurrence in agreeing to wait and see what Uongress will do when it assembles on tho last of November, and. in the meantime, to watch the course of the Administration. The Yellow Epidemic in Texas. About twenty per.cen.t.

In Harrisburg, Millican, Hunts-villeandLa Grange, therejs a de crease of cases of sickness and death, the material being nearly ex hausted. At Chapell Hill and Bren ham the fever rages with unabated violence. In Galveston the daily deaths by the epidemic have been re duced to two, but there were thir teen on Saturday' lat. In Houston the disease is abating.

A Millionaire Private.

In a sketch of tho life of the late Ehas Howe, the inventor of the Sewing Machine, we find the following incident: At the moment when Mr. Howe had avowed his determination to enlist his coachman had entered the building to witness the proceedings. He was a warm-hearted Irishman named Michael Cahill, past the age of military service, as defined by law. Upon hearing his emDlover's speech, ho rnshed forward and clambering upon tho platfoim, ho cried out: "rut down my name, too! 1 can't bear to have the old man go alone." So down went Michael Cahill, coachman, next to that of Elias Howe. Laughter and cheers, mingled in about equal proportions.

For four months after fhe 17th Conn, entered the field, the Government was so pressed for money that no payments to tho troops could bo made. One day a private soldier came quietly to the paymaster's office in Washington, and, as there were several officers already there to be attended to, ho took his seat in a corner, to wait his turn. When the officers had been disposed of Col. Walker turned to him and said: "Now, my man, what can I do for you?" "I have called," said the soldier, "to see about the payment of the 17th Connecticut." The paymaster, a little irritated, told him bluntly "that a paymaster could do-nothing without money, and that until the Government could furnish some, it was useless for soldiers to come bothering him about the payment of their regiments. "I know," said the soldier, "the Government is in straits, and I have called to find out hpw much money it will take to give my regiment two months pay, and if you will tell me I am ready to furnish the amount." The officer stared with astonishment and asked tho name of the soldier, who was no other than Elias Howe.

On referring to his books, Col. Walker found that the sum required was 31,000. Upon receiving the information, the private wrote adraft for the sum, and received in return a memorandum certifying the advance, and promising reimbursement when tho Government could furnish the money. Two or three days after, at Fairfax Court House, the regiment was paid. When Mr.

Howe's name was called, he went up to the paymaster's desk, receiving 828,60 of his own money, and signed the receipt therefore, "Private Elias Howe, rendering all the service which a man in his physical condition could render, he reluctantly asked a discharge, and returned home. He used to say to the soldiers: "I've got to leave you: boys; I of no use here; but never mind; when your time is out, c6hie to me at I'm building a large sewing ma: chine factory there, and I. shall hayp plenty of work for those who want it'- Many of his comrades took him at his 'yo'rd. nl until his death were at work under him in yarioss capacities. pMOOQDtJUUCttWVjODwMOjjl MM MImmM4 WM I -OMiUWWOMUOCOWJCJMODCtl cnuciVaMCnMitwnnoUM4od WMOM.i.WOWMOOODC.IMMWOOa OtflCDOVM)Ot5O3M0ncn3OW MrtMMM MWK1 t-u .03 3 oiOM4MMMfxoMit.tayiMODCiJ.

Anecdote of Hume. An amusing anecdote is told of Dr. Robertson, of Scotland, who, with a ready wit, drew an illustration from a misfortune of David Hume to point an argument. It was as follows: Tne celebrated Mr. Hume wrote an essay on the sufficiency of nature; and the no less celebrated Dr.

Robertson on the sufficiency of Revelation, and the insufficiency of the light of nature. Hume came one evening to visit Robertson, and the evening was spent on the subject. The friends, of both were present, and it is said that Robertson reasoned with accustomed clearness and power. Whether Hume was convinced by his reasoning or not we cannot tell; but at any rate he did not au knowledge his conviction. Hume was very much of a gentleman, and as he rose to depart, bowed politely to those in the room, while, as he retired through the door, Robertson took the light to show him the way.

sir," he continued, "I find the light of nature always sufficient," as he bowed on. The street door was open, and presently, as he bowed along the. entry, he stumbled over something concealed, and pitched down stairs into the street. Robertson ran after him with a candle, and, as he held it oyer him, whispered softly and cunningly, "You had better have a little light from aboye, friend Hutne," and, rais ing him up, he bade him good night and returned to his friends. Ferdinand Hoffman, discharged ten days ago from the Ohio Penitentiary, went to the German Reformed Church, in Canton, Stark County, 0 on the 13th, and, ascending to the choir, where his divorced wife was sitting, he demanded a kiss from her.

She turned toward him, and, on the instant he stabbed her with a butcher knife, inflicting three wounds in the breast and eight in the abdomen. In the wild excitement which followed he escaped 'from the church, but was followed by a crowd of people and compelled to surrender. On the way to the jail, he was assailed by the unfortunate woman's mother, who belabored him savagely with a club. He was beaten severely by others also, but the officers succeeded in depositing him safely in jail. On the way there was a proposal made tq hang him, which found many supporters; -and it was thought nnaaihla ha vrnhlri hn taken fmm tho jail drjring the Ihp night andlynch: ea.
