Ohio.- -There Is no elect ion for Gov
ernor of Ohio this year, Hayes having
last fall been elected for two years.
But several officers on a State ticket
are tojio chosen—the tickets of the
parties being headed by their candi
dates for Secretary of State. Mr.
Bell Is the Democratic, and Mr.
Barnes the Republican nominee for
this office.
“Whom the gods wish to destroy
■they first make mad,” quotes the
Cleveland Plain Dealer ill regard to
Bob Ingorsoll.
Wo presume that the old mytho
logical gods, referred to, are as Ignor
ant of Bob’s existence as ho is of the
existence of any Deity at all, or if
they know anything about him, they
know that no providential dispensa
tion Is needed to complete his eter
nal ruin.
TiwClnotnnnti Commercial of Tues
day says: “Our business men are in
•better spirits than for some years.
They feel that we havo touched bot
tom and are again getting up in the
world. Confidence is being rapidly
restored. Values havo ceased to
shrink, and (hero is a general ten
dency to slight advances. Country
merchants having gold out from top
to bottom, and cleaned the corners,
are coming in for fresh stocks. Our re
porters yesterday interviewed a con
siderable number of our most promi
nout men in business affairs, and tbc
general expression was that there
was a marked and happy change for
the better.”

Petek Ooopuu.-The Memphis Am
lunrhe reports an interview between
one of its staff" and the venerable
Peter Cooper, of New York. The
Avalanche enthusiastically calls Mr.
Cooper “the grandest old mnu in
America.” It, appears from t,ho in
terview that Sir. Cooper, with the
infatuation common to all candidates
for office, t hinks that Ids vole in the
Presidential eleotion will bo no in
considerable one. Ho said on this
point: “den. Cary informs mo our
ticket will get at least 100,000 in Ohio,
and Mr. Buchanan there has ex
pressed the opinion that, Indiana will
give a like number. lam assured of
carrying this and that State, but I
presume Tildon nud Hayes havo like
assurances, I don’t know whether I
shall be elected, but now that I am
in the race I shall do my best, and it
remains for all frlendiy to the move
ment to do likewise.”
Wo believe that two years hence a
candidate ruuntng ou Mr. Cooper’s
platform would indeed be very hard
to beat, but the contest between the
Radicals and the Democracy will be
the political roiclstrom of this year.

Wo are looking for the telegraphic
announcement of the acquittal of
Babcock, in tlio trial for complicity
in the safe burglary conspiracy. And
yet the evidence given against him
by witnesses who admitted that they
wore 00-conspirators was very strong
and pointed. The infamous Whitley
testified that Babcock told him that
Harrington kept him—Babcock—
posted as to the progress of the con
spiracy ; that Buboook said to him,
“Stand by your guns - I’ll proteot
your rear”; that Babcock promised
Whitley that he would secure posi
tions in the custom-house for mem
bers of the Secret Service Depart
ment who were engaged in the con
spiracy ; and that Babcock, after the
failure of the scheme, said to witness
that the burglary had been badly
managed, and asked Whitley if ho
did not know better than to allow
the men who wero engaged iu it to
act as they had done. He also men
tioned other circumstances tending
to show Babcock’s active participa
tion in the conspiracy. After such
testimony as this, the acquittal of
Babcock would be startling if he had
different surrouudlnßS and associ
ates; but everybody quietly expects
it under the circumstances.
St, Lotus Summer Packing Trade.-
The lost St. Louis Packing Ke(x>rd
contains some important facts of
interest to the trude. At the com
mencement or the season, it was ex
pected that tho umount of cutting
done would show n large decrease
compared with the previous season.
The nest informed based their suppo
sitions on the tact that a large num
ber of extensive packers had short
ened, and some even entirely sus
itended their operations. But so far,
instead of a decrease, an increuso is
shown of some 14,990 hogs, or over 18
per cent, more than last year. The
explanation given is that the falling
off caused toy the large packers stop-
Cingla more than counterbalanced
y the number of small dealers that
have engaged in curing. They indi
vidually do not amount to much, but
taken as a whole swell the figures to
the above amount, and make up the
deficiencies. 80 far the receipts show
an increase of 114,600 hogs over last
year and shipments of nearly 100,000
over six months of 1875, 'with a
probability of the increase beihg
kept up until the end of tho season.
TUB BKTIRNi OF TWKF.U.
W* are fully convinced that there
is some political scheme of a nefari
ous character connected with tbc
surrender of Tweed by the Spanish
authorities and his return to the
United States. If there was an ex
tradition treaty between Spain and
the United States and Tweod was re
turned in pursuance of that treaty,
there would be nothing surprising
in the action of either government.
But no such treaty exists, and yet 80
strong a pressure has been brought to
bear upon Spain for the surrender
of this fugitive, that she gives him
up against the sentiment of her own
people, whoconsider it an illegul and
improper act, as we are informed by
telegraph. That pressure was not
brought to boar—-could not have
been brought to bear by the author
ities of Now York, to tho laws of
which State alono Tweed is amena
ble. Why, then, has the Federal
Administration, without authority or
intercut, pressed this surrender upon
Spain? for it must have pressed it,
else the Spanish government would
not havo offended its own people by
the surrender.
The contrast between the course of
the Administration in tills case and
in that of Winslow, tho Radical poli
tician, forger and swindler of Boston,
is significant. Winslow had told some
damaging stories about Massachu
setts politicians, and bad threatened
to tell more. He was arrested in
Great Britain, with which we
had an extradition treaty. But
the Fodoral Administration, in
stead of procuring his return under
that treaty, refused to specify the
particular crimes for which ho was to
be tried, as Great Britain construed
the treaty to require, and Winslow
has not been returned to this day. It
is hardly probable that he will bo
until after the Presidential election ;
while Tweed is hastily called for and
brought back without any treaty at
all with Spain. Why the difference ?
We believe that this surrender has
•been thus obtaiuedTn tho hope -per
haps with tho assurance—that Tweed
can be made Instrumental In injuring
Tilden and the Democratic party in
New York. Tilden has been his re
lentless prosecutor, and Tweed no
doubt feels resentment and desires
revenge. An unscrupulous man in
his position will do almost anything
to escape prolonged punishment ami
to wreck his vengence on his ene
mies. If he can tell anything,
whether true or false, that can be
made to operate to the disadvantage
of Gov. Tilden and other Democrat
ic candidates, he will no doubt do it.
His own Democratic antecedents will
not stand in tho way. His former
Democratic association will rather
aid him in striking tho desired blows.
Should lie do this, and should he by
the clemency of some Republican
-Governor of New York hereafter
chosen, be pardoned after only a
short term of imprison menteafe may
know that, the arrangement, was fully
made and tho bargain duly consum
mated before his embarkation on the
the Franklin at Vigo.
HEATH OF HEN. lIItAUG.
A dispatch of Wednesday raiduight
announces tho death of Gen. Braxton
Bragg, at Galveston, Texas, on Wed
nesday morning. He was apparent
ly In his usual health up to the mo
ment of attack, and suddenly dropped
deud in tho street -it is supposed
from heart disease.
Gen. Bragg was born in Warren
county, N. 0., and was a member of
a talented old Democratic family of
that county, his two older brothers,
John and Thomas, having dis
tinguished themselves as legislators
and lawyers. Braxton was sent to
West Point, and his whole subse
quent Ufo was spent in the military
sorviee, either in the Federal or the
Confederate army, with the excep
tion of his closing years since the
civil war. His military career- both
in tho Mexican and the late war—is
too well known to require detail
hero. In every position he distin
guished himself. Ho was a striot
disciplinarian, a good civil engineer,
und an eminent, organizer of men.
Some doubt whether his close adher
ence to military science and rules
was advantageous to the Confederate
serivee, but no one doubts that with
disciplined soldier’s and a well ap
pointed army ho was fully the equal
of auy Union officer opposed to him.
His life was a stormy one, and was
no doubt greatly elouded in his last
years by the defeat, of his fond as
pirations and the disappointment of
his ambition by the downfall of tho
cause on whloh he had risked all a
soldiers hopes and prospects. But he
has left his name und fame on the
pages of his country’s history, and
posterity will duly honor the mem
ory of one who was ever competent to
his high trusts und faithful in the dis
charge of every duty.
Gen. Bragg’s age was 61 years. The
dispatch announced that his body
would bo taken to Mobile for inter
ment.
Plenty ©t Cider.
Nowburg IVlograph ]
There are so many apples this year
that the farmers are forced to make
them up into oider. The result will
be an unprecedented stock of cider,
with little or no price for the sumo.
Cider won’t keep a great while unless
bottled, and farmers ate not very apt
trouble themselves about putting
it'into bottles, so it will naturally
run to vinegar, and then vinegar can
be bought dirt cheap. This will be
a glorious season for the toper. He
can buy half a dozen barrels of cider
and be drunk half the winter at a
small cost. We admit he would have
to drink long and hearty at ench
bout to bring about tho desired effect,
but elder, though slow in making a
drunk, makes a good lasting one
when It once gets to work and it
hangs on longer than other bever
ages, even though they may besharp
er to the taste.

The latest news from Servia affords
very strikiug confirmation of the sus
picion that Russia has contemplated
Liking an active part, from the out
break of the troubles In Servia. We
are told there are now ten thousand
Russians iu tho Servian ranks, and
that, after certain contemplated
changes, there will not be a single
Servian in chief command. We can
uow understand what Prince Milan
meant, when, at the opening of the
campaign, he said that Serviu had
important promises to depend upon.
The uprising was clearly a pre-ar
rangement with Russia. The pro
gramme appears to huve included
the forwarding of Russian troops, the
placing of the army under- Russian
command, the donation or loan of
Russian money-for 3,000,000 roubles
are said to have been sent by Russia
—and the declaring Prluce Milan
King. All this, indeed, appears to
have been actually accomplished by
Russia; and whatever strength Ser
via now possesses as against the
Turks Is due to Russian agencies.
How much more ol Russian aid the
programme embraces remains to be
seen. We now know what value to
place ou tho Czar’s pretended oppo
position to warlike measures and on
the assurances of Russian diplomats
t hat their government is anxious for a
settlement. Wo can understand
just how much tho Bmperor
Alexander and Prince Milan were
shocked at the zeal of Tchernayoff in
proclaiming Milan King. All this
display of pacific virtue was needful
for decency’s sako and to keep the
“other powers” quiet until time had
been gained and until tho secret pro
gramme had gained a certain foot
hold. The Czar’s first bold proposals
to Germany and Austria having railed
through the pointed movements of
the British fleet, more covert meth- j
ods had to bo adopted. The thing to
be done was to get a Russian foot
hold in Servia without arousing sus
picion, and most adroitly lias It been
accomplished. While Gortshakoff
has been talking peace and the Rus
sian official organs have been writing
in a soothing strain, ten thousand
Russian troops have been smuggled
into Servia so quietly that no one
dreamt of such a movement. In
deed, at the very moment these ma
noeuvres were being executed Earl
Beaeoufield was complimenting the
Czar before au English audience ou
ills sincere anxiety for peace. Most
singularly, too, the disposition of the
English jieople to suspect Russia in
this matter wus oheokmated by the
events in Bulgaria.
It would not be surprising If the
inquiries into the Bulgarian
outrages to be instituted by the Porte
should disoover that jiartiesnot now
suspected were the instigators; at
least it remains to be seen exactly
what Is concealed by Earl Bacon
field’s allusion to secure societies
ns connected with those disgraceful
events. But., however that may be,
these astrocities have most effectual
ly served the purposes of Russia by
creating among the English people a
feeling that prevents the Government
from.taklng a pronounced position in
favor of Turkey. Unfortuuately the
whole drift of reports and events but
too plainly tends to suggest doubts
as to the purposes of the Czar. The
latest reports from Russia state that
an order has been issued forbidding
more leaves of absence, and that in
the southwestern districts of Russia
preparations are makiug for the
mobilization of the troops. These re
ports appear to have been regarded
as contradictory; but there is this de
gree of consistency between them,
that, if the army were being mobil
ized for active service, leaves of ab
sence would be discontinued, and the
iuferenoo would be that Russia now
contemplates substituting open aid
for tho iudlrect assistance she has
given hereto.
It. would seem that the anomalous
position now occupied by Russia can
not be much longer maintained. It
cannot be seriously pretended that
the Government at St. Petersburg is
not responsible for the aid given to
the Servians. Were any other coun
try than Turkey tho injured party,
Russia would be very quickly re
minded of her neutral obligations;
and we presume the Czar is exempt
from such a reminder only because
to meddle in such a delicate matter
might involve unpleasant conse
quences wtiich is hoped to avoid. It
must be confessed that, with Russia
cherishing such designs as the fore
going facts seem to imply, the hofies
of a satisfactory peace coming out of
the negotiations now pending are
rather dubious.—AT. T. Bulletin, ‘JO.

A meeting of the colored Demo
cratic voters was held last night at,
Tree Hall, Mulberry street, which
was attended by seventy-five colored
men And a number of white people.
Marshal Gray hud a dozen police
men present and good order prevail
ed. R. K. Robinson called the meet
ing to order, and suid the object was
to centralize the colored Democratic
vote, and the only way to do it was
to work with the Domocratio party.
The efforts of the Republican party
tended to degrade the race. In tho
late war the colored soldiers were
paid seven dollars per month and the
white soldiers fourteen dollars.
Walter Horrell was elected Presi
dent, Gafton Taylor Vice President,
und Magnus L. Robinson Secretary.
Lawrence Mosely suid ho had been
an active man in the Rebublicati
party, and he hoped to be more so in
the Democratic party. He declared
himself in favor of Tilden and Hen
dsloks and reform. Ho had been a
soldier in the war, and when the war
was ended he got his pay, and put
two hundred and sixty-five dollars in
the Freedman’s Bank, and it is there
to-day- a permanent investment. He
charged that the Republican party
was the cause of tho colored people
being out of employment.
A committee, R. B. Robinson, G.
Johnston and J. Walters, reported a
preamble and resolutions, which
were adopted : Whereas, wo colored
citizens of Maryland, recognizing our
community of interest with our white
follow citizens andapppreciatiugour
full and perfect equnity with them in
the eyes of the law, are resolved to
act politically with entire independ
ence, maintaining our own self re
spect and that of our fellow citizens
generally, without regard to race or
color; therefore, it is resolved that we
cordially endorse the 8t„ Louis plat
form nnd the candidates of the Dem
ocratic parts. Tilden and Hendricks.
The president, who is a Virginian
bv birth, said ho had always been a
Democrat. He had heard his Repub
lican friends ory after him, “Kill that
nigger!" because he would not work
for them. The Republican pnrty was
working against the interest of the
colored people, and if any wanted
freedom, he advised them to come
and be independent. Once, when in
Washington, he had been told that
the Freedman’s Bank was not suc
cessful because the Baltimore colored
geople of influence did not sustain it.
[e deposited fifty dollars in it, which
lie had with him, but feeling uneasy
about it, he sent his wife down after
it, and she drew out all but sixty
cents. (Laughter.) The Freedman’s
Bank was worse than a swindle; it
was a perfect burglary. The colored
people had been brought to want
through the action of tho Republican
party. No one had ever seen the col
ored people starving in Democratic
times. (Applause.)
That we reeoguize the emancipa
tion of ttie colored race as one of the
results of the late civil war, secured
by amendments to the Constitution
of the United States conferring citi
zenship and suffrage upon the eman
cipated race, which amendments
were adopted by the votes of Repub
licans and Democrats.
That wo recognize that the Legis
lature of this State conferred the
right of suffrage upon the colored
race, in pursuance of the Constitu
tion, when composed exclusively of
Democratic Conservative members.
That wo recognize that the Legis
lature of this State provided liberally
for the education of the colored race,
as it had already done for the white
race, an overwhelming majority of
the said Legislature being Demo
crat io Conservatives.
That wo recognize that under the
Constitution and laws of this State
the colored race enjoy as fully as the
white race all their fundamental
rights of person and property, with
perfect civil and political equality,
wherefore we will never consent to
become the creatures and tools of any
one political party.
Wm. Flyman and Jas. Hammond
also spoke. Hammond said that
Fred Douglass had stated at the
Douglass Institute meeting that the
colored man could not aiiy himself
with any but the Republican party,
but Douglass thought so because
Douglass had allied himself with the
Freedman’s Bank. Plvman charged
that, he had been assaulted bv color
ed Republican roughs on Thursday
night on Saratoga street. Adjourn-
