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. Fifth—District—Dora., 20,543; Rep., 12,- G 45.

Total number of votes polled, 629,259; votes polled for Republican candidates, 314,540; or ninety votes less than a major ity in tho State. 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. THE CftYTlttl, KIMROAI) WMIP TKU. JONESBORO’ WAGONERS BRING IT TO TERMS. 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.
