OHIO'S OFFICIAL FlfilAK*.
HOW TWELVE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN
WERE ELECTED BY A MINORITY VOTE.
Social to tho Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Columbus, Oot. 20.— Tho returns
from the State are now all in. thoso
of the last three counties having
been received to-day. The whole
vote cast on the State ticket for Sec
retary of State is 831,066, of which
number Barnes received 317,850; Bell,
311,410; Chapman, Prohibitionist,
1,799, showing Barnes’ majority of
the entire vote cast to bo 4,147. The
remainder of tho Republican ticket
is very nearly the same.
The result in the Congressional
elections is Instructive, as going to
show tne outrugo that was perpetra
ted on the people of Ohio by the Leg
islature of 1872-73, in re-districting
the State for Congress. It is but u
counterpart, in fact, of the gerry
mandering scheme that was perpetra
trated by the Republican Legisla
ture of Indiana, by which they,
though in o minority of 8,600, elected
nine out of thirteen members of Con
gress.
The Republicans of Ohio have by
this means succeeded in electing
twelve out of the twenty Congress
men in tho delegation. Yet the re
turns which are now first made pub
lic show that they are actually in the
minority—that, fn tact, their candi
dates polled less than half the votes
cast for Congressmen. The follow
ing figures compiled from tho official
returns are proof of this. They can
not be disputed or explained any
othor way. Tho facts speak for them
selves :
In makingout the table I have, for
convenience, classified the vote under
the heats of Democrat, Republican
and Independent,including under the
latter head the Prohibitionists, the
Oreenbackets and some few Indepen
dents that would otherwise be class
ed as scattering. The following fig
ures tell the story:
First District— Democratic, 14,144; Re
publican, 18,474.
Second District— Democratic, 14,133; Re
publican, 14,058.
Third District— Democratic, 16,008; Re
publican, 16,594.
Fourth District—Democratic, 18,557; Re
publican, 18,461; Independent, 81.

Course of the Cotton Market.
New York Bulletin.
The “hull” element has on the whole
rather had the best of the situation during
the.period intervening sinco our last re
view, values stimulating somewhat more
readily and the business averaging rather
higher on cost. The influences tending
to this result appeared to come in the
main from the crop reports as issued by
the Southern Cotton Exchanges, which
were generally constructed as less favor
able, and as Liverpool, according to the
daily cables, respoded to the upward turn
here to some extent, it was not difficult,
under the existing nervous feeling, to
frighten tire more timid operators into a
hasty covering. Occasionally also there
could be found those who had confidence
enough to invest on the “long” side, though
as a rule these purchases were considered
as merely idr a quick turn a supposition
verified by a tendency to unload When in
one or two cases the market looked like
breaking. Indeed the stiller feeling has
not been of a character to inspire much
strong or general faith, and does not ap
pear to have penetrated much beyond the
regular circle of operators, while the
‘‘bears’, claim to have lost no ground, and
eveu ure inclined to interpret the situation
as favorable to their views on the theory
that the small advance made really devel
ops a weekness among their opponents.
There has'also been an entire absence of
response to a healthier feeling from the
market for actual cotton supplies have
been liberally offered here, and indications
pointed to foreign holders unloading will
.• ...1 t. 1-.1F.1P0/1 Xltllt If)
ingly whenever opportunity offered while
the arrivals at the ports, allowing for the
delays likely to arise through continued
quarantine restrictions have kept up well.
The damage to crop, as reported, also ap
pears to be accepted rather cautiously, es
pecially as much the same style of advices
were given currency at about this lime last
year. Further still, a great many consider
the European political situation as very
threatening and likely to interfere with
foreign demand for cotton until something
definite is shown. Taken altogether, the
indications point to current buoyancy as
largely superficial and temporary in char
acter,’with the bulls a9 yet unable to set
up any good offer against the natural first
rush of the crop to market under a posi
tive desire to realize, and when business
concluded oh Saturday the market had a
heavy tone again, under what was dousid
ered as auiuflictioa of too many bales.

JONESBORO’ WAGONERS BRING IT TO

From the Atlanta Constitution, 21st.]
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
And now the tired teamsters may
unhitch their horses and go squirrel
hunting. The palace coaches may
be backed into the barns, and the
owls mav rebuild therein.
Col. Wadley has taken the back
track. He has reduced the freight
tariff from Jonesboro to 20 cents
again —and from Lovejoy’s and
Forest's to old figures. The change
will take place to-day, we under
stand. We doubt if there is another
instance on record, where the peo
ple of a village forced the railroad to
abandon raised freight tariff, by put
ting a country wagon train on the
dirt road in opposition. Jonesboro
will hence go head on this score.
Not a single bale of cotton has been
shipped over this road since the
tariff was raised. The loss to the
Central must have been considerable,
and Mr. Wadley shows sagacity in
limbering his back. He will doubtless
hereafter let Jonesboro alone. Let
us announce to him that the village
hasn’t exhausted half of its resources
in this little skirmish. Sherrard
Gay’s jennie has not yet been used.
She is still fresh and ready for an
emergency.
