What have been called the doubtful States are now more doubt ful than ever before, and the contest for them, while it will certainly be terrific, will as surely remain doubtful until the tally sheets are closed. As good reading for the occasion, we reproduce portions of the leader of the Cincinnati Enquirer on the election in that State. Despite the flings at it, the Enquirer is a Democratic paper of power and extended influence, and did yeoman's service in the battle, the brunt of which fell upon the city in which it was published. It is in posi tion to speak with better effect ffh to the past and future conduct of the cam paign. It says: The Democracy of Ohio have been deresu.fi. The fight which closed on Tuesday lacked In nothing oa either aide to call out the peoplo. Both parties had fair notice that on the ttth of October there would be a tremendous en counter lor politic!! aupremaey In this State. No plaudltorial excuse, no appeal lor sympa thy, no complaint against outrageous conduct —in abort no “baby act"—can aoltcn the situ ation or palliate tho effects ol dcleat. There [a no substantial complaint lor anybody In tho proposition that one party had more money than tho other party bad, that anyb dy w, a intimidated, or that either political party was outgeneraled or outnumbered. The matter lor present consideration is tho result, howevet It may have been accomplished. THE XfFECT OF THE V1CTOET.

The salon of this magnificent a team- ship is 70 feet long, nine feet high and Hghted by a lofty cupola. Her passenger capacity is 720, all of which is firet-claia, there being no provision for steerage -travel. The Umbria's engines are the most power ful in the world. “The centre high pressure cylinder is 71 inches in diam eter, and the two low pressures are 105 Inches, with a six-foot stroke.” She carries coal for sixteen days It iaalikely that the Umbria will seize and hold the championship for many years. On Saturday last she made her trial trip andaboweda speed of twenty-one toffee an hour. This rate will easily bring her serosa the Atlantic in six days.

What they may be able to do In this direction Ilea in the future, and II they act Intelligently they may not be indifferent to the fact that Blaine and Logan will derive great benefit from the Republican aucceaa of last Tunday. The Republicans, triumphant In Maine far bejond their greatest hopes; aud victorious In Ohio, with oceans ol money In their party treasury, and further large contri butions easy to obtain, with every campaign appointment and the working farces under thorough drill and discipline, are decidedly more formidable than they were forty-eight hours ago. a GUEST SUSTAXX. It was a gr-at mistake on the part ol Demo crate to claim Ohio. This state has uniformly given Republican majorities at October elec tlona In I'reaidcutlal years, and has with com parative rarity given Democratic majorities In off years. Precedents considered together should have governed, and not single and ex ceptional years. Men are easily led by their hopes la politics. Enthusiasts selso the (lag and carry It to the front, only to lay It at the loot ol the enemy, while the more thoughtful and sclf-pneseeacd, though not less loyal to their party and active In Its service, are pushed to one aide and left in the background. Enthusiasm Is one ot the commonly necessary antecedents of success, but It ctnnot be exclu sively relied on.

Whatever may have been tho general Demo cratic Impression two weeksag >, it Is apparent now that the victory ol last Tuesday was In a great degree the sequenceof the presence and magntllcent genera ship ol both Jamea G. Blaine itud John A. Logan. Mr. Maine is so much better thau his party that he command! attention where It does not! He has not lost those personal qualities which have attracted so many men to him in the past, and he has unquestionably strengthened himself nt every point he has visited. Gen. Logan, also, unques tionably wielded a large Inlluence. Ills pres- senee stimulated memories ot the days of V2, '63. 'fit and '83 among the men who followed him In battle. The bitter feelings left by the civil confilct may have passed away, hut sol- dlen, even In their most forelvln; spirt', de light to honor a man ol stalwart bravery and tangible accomplishments in war.

Hut the disturbance of the old botiefs becomes more violent as we proceed. Cinderella’s glass slipper was a fur slipper. The story is from the French; the panloufle en pair, or slipper made of fur, was translated aa though it had been pantoufle en verre, or glass slipper.

Even Tennyson's charge of the “Light Brigade” suffers as the records are brought out and aired. Michael Dray ton's "Battle of Agincourt" baa it; a Candid Confsaalon as to the Tariff. Tlie Meridian Mercury credits Sena tor Pugh, of Alabama, with this ex pression : There la not moro Ignorance on any other aubjc eta In the world than there is on tho tariff. I used to make speeches and rear and paw the air; and I didn t know what I was talk ing about. Senator Pugh is a man of brains and honesty. The words sound like his and they are doubtless true. Senator Pugh entered into politic* at a time when the tariff was discussed at the South merely with a view of finding out some way to punish the New England manufacturers, who were abolitionists. What the South then meant by free trade was that it was to be a retaliatory measure to pun ish Iter political enemies, just as the re-opening of tho African-slave trade was discussed and indorsed as an off set to the higher law doctrine of New England. Rnt few, comparatively, of our leading men, really studied the tariff as a question of po litical economy, or an adminis trative policy. The ignorance which Senator Pugh ascribes to him self was widespread, and his testimony could be strongly fortified if kis polit ical compeers were as frank as himself. In the years immediately preceding the war, the exasperating sectional is sues gave no time or opportunity to an examination of the tariff and in those that followed defeat, men were too busy trying to save local government, personal rights and n support for them selves and families to give much atten tion to subjects so abstruse and dry as the scalo of tariff duties or their effects upon tlie country. But with the 'death of fioctionaliam the question looms up. Behind it stands the prosperity and strength of the North, ita actively employed capi tal and its accumulated wealth. The tariff is presented as the ground work of tho policy of one of the great parties which seeks to control the government, the party, in fact, which now controls It, and has done ao for many years. Senator Pugh shows by hfa confession that he has unlearned something, and that he has an earnest desire to loam other things. Ae a Senator he is addressing himself to a study and examination o( the tariff. The mats of his constituency, and that of every other Southern Senator, even including the able country editors, are rearing and pawing tlie air, just as Senator Pugh used to roar anil paw. And this is about all they knowconcern- ing the tariff. Tho South could not be more greatly benotlted in any other way titan if tiicse people would seri ously try to inform themselves on a subject of which they are profoundly ignorant. The Democratic party, once near the goal oi victory,was defeated by Ita posi tion on tbo.tariff. Now again it is in volved in a mighty contest, and charges again and again with the cry of reform, while State after State wheels into an opposition line, under the lead of men who do understand what a tarifl is and how to use it. If the people of the South understood the tariff and kindred subjects, they could see and appreciate, that under tlie plea ot tariff reform an attempt is being made toaoreduce thedntlea upon imports, that the internal revenue sys tem may be fixed upon tho country with ita unjust and unequal taxation, its spies, pimps and informe a, its dally oppressions of the citizen. They would see and understand that those who are shouting tor tlie destruction of the tariff are animated and inspired by tlie desire and intention that the whisky ring, with its iniquities and abominations, ahail live and prosper. Tlie South rears and paws the air. The North grows rich and powerful, and control* the government. l)»t since .that day Democrats over the county have been iaduitrW ^working to repair the damage th« Until within* fow days many Bln game people indulged the hope that' harmony .would be brought about; W the nomination ol a citizens’ ticket • New York city means nothing more o') less than a fight on Tammany, ivint effoct this is to have upon the fortunes of Sir.

A writer in the New York Nun has lately given some intereiting statistics affecting tlie negro race, which go to prove the usertion that hit death rate is far in excess of that of the white, and gives color to the oft-repeated claim that the negro race is dying oat It is shown that in Boston the death rate among the negroes to M.lOtothe thou sand greater than the whites; in Providence, R.
