THE OHIO ELECTION.
The result of the election in Cincinnati
and In one or two other localities in Ohio,
was easily foreseen weeks ago by those who
were woll informed as to the manner In
which that campaign w as being conduct
ed. In Cincinnati they had, iu addition to
the regular nominees of the Republican
and tlio Democratic parlies, a third party,
misnamed “ the working men’s party,” with
Gen. Sam. Cary at Its head. Thii man
Cary, although a Republican of the Schuy
ler Colfax School, could not brook disap
pointment, and was quite willing to sacri
fice liig party to his own ambition;
aud when the party made their nom
inations, leaving him out, lie set
up for himself; and to secure his election,
entered into terms with certain nominees
of the Democratic party. Thus, with two
Republican candidates iu the field—one of
whom had been bartering witli th6 Demo
crat*—tho Democratic gain is not a matter
of surprise. •
Mr., or “ Gen.” Cary seems to have run
npou the eight hour sensation, and put
himself forward as the representative of
the workingmen, although it Is well known
that a more selfish find ungracious aristo-
rat in a small way,never had an existence iu
the Buckeye State. Nevertheless, the Dem
ocrats were but too anxious to use him;
whilst many of the working men of that
Metropolis were mislead Into his support.
Similar causes have produced like results
In other portions of thut aud other North
ern States. Tlio elections, so far from turn
ing upon the leading issues of the day,
seem to have settled no issues beyond those
mere local or personal nature, sprung
by ambitious men, with a view of feather
ing their own nests.

Try It.—Dr. Franklin once gave the fol
lowing recipe for “hard times :*’ “Make a
full estimate of all you owe aud all that is
owing to you. Reduce the same to a whole.
As fast as you collect, pay over to those
you owe. If you cannot collect, renew
your note every year, and get the best se
curity you can. Go to business diligently;
waste no idle moments; he very economi
cal In all things; discard all pride; be
faithful in your duty to God iu private and
public worship, and do untoull men os you
would that they should do unto you. If
you are too needy in your circumstances
to give to the poor, do whatever H*fc is in
y.mv power for them cheerfully; but if you
can. always help the worthy poor and un
fortunate. Pursue this course diligently
and sincerely for seven years, aud if you
aiv not happy and Independent iu yom
circumstances, come to me aud i will pay
your debts.”
This remedy is simple and easily tried.
It can hardly fail. Suppose we all try it.

a well known citizen of NudivUlc, com-
niittcd suicide on Sunday at the residence
of his brother, about two miles from the
y. on the Louisville branch ]»ike. Mr.
I’ike went to Ids brother's house on the
morning of that day, and, while the family
were at church, entered a stable, fastened a
rojK* to one of the racks in a stall, adjusted
the other end to his neck and jumped oil*
the manger. Jle told a little boy whucarne
to the stable, on Ids way to the spring, that
lie was going to hang himself, and that he
must not come iu or he should hurt him.
Tlio hoy ran to the house and told his
mother what Mr. Pike had said. The wo
man seized a knife and hastened out to the
stable to out the infatuated man down, if
lie had done ns was feared. Arrived at the
spot- the worst fears wore realized. Pike
was found hanging, and quite dead, lie

charges which I pronounce
untrue involved the origin, history and char

South. “E. N. Reb” affirmed that the
Southern Methodist Church was u seces
sion from theM. E. Church—a secession
prompted liyu political motive; made in
the iutercstof politlnns; nmdo because the
“mother church” would not recognize
slavery as a “ divine institution,” and now
sustained as a sectional pro-slat e,y organi
sation. All this, and more, “ E. X. Reb*

these statements, and I, William P. Harri
son, pronounce them an unqualified libel
upon the memory of the good and great
men, now dead, who organized the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, Boutli; and upon
the good and true men now living, who
are ministers and members of that church.
