TUE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA., TUESDAY OCTOBER 21 1881. TWELVE PAGES. THE ELECTION IN OHIO. THE STATE, AS EXPECTED, COE REPUBLICAN, flut by n Far Leas Majority Than Four Year* Ago???The Lon of Majority At tributed to the Blaine Burden-^ West VIrainin'# Election. The returns from Ohio printed below are Iwftd on two elections. The republicans base their gains on the elec* tion of '83, when Hoadly (democrat} was elected by 12,CT>0 majority. The democrats base their gains on the October election of 1880, when the republican .majority was It>,000. a reference of reported gains to these figures will give the net result, It appears from the returns received that the republicans have carried the state by from 12.000 to 15,000 majority. The result will hardly exceed this higher estimate, and we see no reason to hope that it will fall be low 10,000. West Virginia has gone democratic by a vote of about 8,00o. The October elections have therefore passed Without any special surprise or significance. The???dclnils are printed below. The Early Bird* V110 WERE CAUGHT WHILE TRYING To RUN INTO TIIE BALLOT BOXES Cincinnati, October H.???At a late hour last bight, six United States deputy marshnls were ar rested by the police.

The Forenoon Finrry OVER HALF THE VOTE CAST BY TEN O'CLOCK??? SHERIFFS AND MAR-'IIALS AT ARMS. Cincinnati, October M.???The city is feverish with excitement. Many arrests have been made at the polls for illegal voting, and challenging is carried on to a greater extent than ever before. Slight collisions have taken place in several wards, but the worst so far has been in the sixth ward, where a large number of negroes and Irish vote, ??? and where early this morning one of Pinkerton???* detectives was badly beaten. A negro known as ???Foxy??? Anderson was killed this morning in an encounter with a deputy marshal. The re port came from the 10th ward that the deputy ahexlife had overpowered the deputy marshals, and were refusing to allow any negroes to vote, mu] the United State* marshal sent an additional number of deputy marshals to tho scene. The weather is delightful, cool and pleasant. A very large voto has, so far, been polled. The men ???bout tho polls say there .Is very little scratching, pnd everywhere great earnestness Is manifested. THE INTENSE INTEREST. It was remarked by Judgo Kelley .oiPennsyl vania niter canvassing this state, that he had never seen aueb intense Interest manifested in politics since JM0. All reports received up to this hour, 12 o???clock, indicate that thl* intensity of feeling continue*. An enormous vote is being polled. Each party is ???trivial not only to get in all the vote*, but to get them in early. It i* understood that Ohio is re garded ft* tho battle ground, and on the issue of to-day will depend the conduct of tho next three weeks of the campaign. The i>olls arc being close ly uatchcd by deputy sheriff* and police, repre senting the democrats, and deputy United States marshals and cltixous, representing the republi cans. ARRESTING TIIE RErEATERS. A large number of repeater* have already been nnuted by tbe deputy marshals, and they are be ing guarded in tbe government building. A mm l??cr of these were brought iu a patrol wagon by the police, which added to tho already existing excitement. There has been considerable shoot ing In the sixth, eighth, eighteenth and nine teenth wards. In the latter a deputy marshal shot ??? deputy sheriff in the head, causing a severe, but not fatal wound. In tbe eighteenth, a democratic ward, there 1* great excitement because of the large number of republican votes being polled. A citizen of Olendalo report* that early this morn ing a laigc numbe-r of Irish voted the republican ticket. SHOT-DEAD BY A COLERED MAH'UAL. The report that ???Fox???

In one prednet there was a conflict of authority, resulting fn the arrest of a deputy -berlff by the police. There was a sharp light for the organization of the polk, the numb.-r of citizens turning out being unprecedented. Hands and the drum corps paraded the streets at day break, awakening the voters. The vote tvs'the heaviest ever polled in the city. The republicans have the city hall for headquarters, and the democrats have headquarters at the Franklin county dub. The republicans are wild with enthusiasm, parading the streets in crowd-., while the famous Blaine and Logan glee club is singing in the city hall, which Is packed in every part. A fence has been built on the stage to protect the committee from the pressure of the crowd, [which 1* cheering so loudly as to heard nearly all over the city. At democratic headquarters there is less enthusiasm. Their hall is much smaller than that oi the re- publican', but it is packed, while hundreds are passing in and out of it.

A froiiibitiox vote to more than offset tbe Butler business, and a good majority for Cleve land, is the average prediction in New Jerlsy. Five of the seven congressional districts have sharp fights on hand, and nobody can guess bow tho delegation will stand.

Ex-Governor St. John, presidential candidate of the party, was tlic principal speaker. A procession of fllaine and Logan torch bearers having passed near the building, Mr. St. John sharply criticized the republican managers for holding such a demon stration when the prohibitionist meeting was in session.

Yesterday a delegation representing tha Georgia truck growers association, arrived in Atlanio. Tho object of their visit was to bo before tho rate commiteo of tho Southern rail way and Steamship association, and to repre sent tho claim of tho association for better freight rates thnn it his been grant ed hitherto, The following gentlemen com posed the committeo from tho associations Judge It. A. Peeples, of Lowndes, chairmanr D. W. Itountrceof Brooks, II. II, Sandfordof Thomas, ond J. T. Bcaffo of Mitchell, They Judge Peeples and Mr. Itountreo spoke. They asked tnat 1,000 melons be considered a car load regardless of weight. They also re quested (list (he shipment of inferior melon* be prohibited end (bat all melons bo shipped released. That freight be prepaid and tnat a receipt be taken by the railroads from the con signee and returned to tbe consignor in order that it may be ascertained in all cases what was placed in the bands of the commission merchant. The speaker* compared the value and the freight of a car-load of Hour or bacon with the value and freight of a car of melon*, ond from tho comparison drew tha conclusion tbst the rate* charred ere Indefensible. They said that the experience of the past two years proved tbst the truek business could not bo oersted successfully unless tbe railroads encouraged It wflh more favorable Yates. If it is properly encouraged it will be the source of great profit, not only to the truck farmers, but to the rail- reads also. The rema. ks of Judge Peeples and Mr. Kouhtrcc were beard with close attention by (he committee. The general freight agents or the lines leading to tbe melon country ap pear to bo taking ail due Interest in the matter, end ere doing what they can to induce the favorable changes asked in tbe present rates. The whole matter wa* referred to a committee of freight agents, which will probably report before the first of December. The representa tives of tbe truck association feel very hope ful that tbeir requests will be favorably con sidered. They say that there will be a great growth in the track Industry next year it the railroads grant their petition. An Old Lady???s Desperation. From thcCarnmiUe, Ga., Register. Mis.
