THE OHIO CANVASS. si The news from Ohio is unfavorable to the success of the bloody shirt issue as a means of firing the Republican heart and increas- g< ing the Republics vote. It is now admitted ai by Republicans that Sherman regrets having tl raised that issue in the first speech of the a* canvass. The mercantile interests of Cin- ^ rorinati ?ro nffoplorl hu tho nnnfiniwl pffnrfs of the politicians to keep up sectional feel- ni ing, and the merchants of that city are do- 01 ing all they can to counteract the effects of U] Republican misrepresentation. They feel 01 that the prosperity of the West is dependent ^ to some extent upon the prosperity of the St South, and want no more humbuggery s? about the negro question in the Southern ti States. ai THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. P? The recent conference between the representatives of the railroads and the Railroad Commission resulted in the adoption in this State, with some exceptions, of uniform classification of the freight rates of the ' Southern Railway aud Steamship Associa- ~ tion. The uniform classification is that ' used by all railroads in the South and South- ei west, and which was adopted by the repre- ^ sentatives of such roads in convention in . Atlanta, in order to facilitate the inter- c ( D< change of business between roads, to avoid the multiplication, and thus prevent errors j*. in freight charges. As the matter has stood 1 heretofore, the roads in this State had to * use two different classifications?one on ' through business and one on local business. J? The average railroad agent often used the . one for the other, and thereby errors fre- (* quently occurred. The classification of the Southern Railway and Steamship Associa- 1E tion was adopted by the Commission, with re exceptions, and the present Commission 111 will be withdrawn about the 15th instant, when the uniform classification will go into p immediate effect. q BAYARD AND OUR SENATORS. w According to a Washington letter in the ^ New York World, Secretary Bayard has re lost the friendship of one of the most in- al timate of his former Senatorial associates, ju Senator M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, tl sat at his left hand for a number of years. The two were very intimate in their daily ^ relations. The South Carolina Senator was fe a firm supporter of Mr. Bayard for the g* Presidency. It is now said that Senator uj Butler refuses to go to the State Department, and while making no complaints, Pj takes no further interest in the fortunes of ^ the Secretary of State. m The reason given for this estrangement si is that Senator Butler's son who is a consulate clerk at Bordeaux, expected the appointment of consul at that place, on the change ^ of administrations; bat instead of giving v{ it to him, Mr. Bayard continued Mr. Boose- ei vilt, the Republican incumbent, even de- lil clining to receive his resignation, which y< was tendered several months ago, under the expectation that he would be succeeded by young Butler, who as all agree, is well 1)1 qualified to discharge the duties of the po- M sition. th The only explanation given in connection with this peculiar action is that Mr. Bayard became offended with Mr. Butler just ey before he went into the Cabinet. Before as accepting the office of Secretary of State, p< Mr. Bayard .?sked the opinion of several of P his fellow Senators as to the propriety of making the change. Mr. Butler strongly advised him not to ero. With the frank ness of a friend he dwelt upon the lack of his capabilites for such a position. One of la the Senators circulated a paper upon the ec Democratic side for signatures commenda- a* tory of Mr. Bayard to the President for a , Cabinet position. Mr. Butler refused to ^ sign this paper on the ground that he re thought Mr. Bayard should remain in the fo Senate. It is believed that Mr. Butler's st course at that time wounded Mr. Bayard, and that his course in the Bordeaux matter s was influenced by the sting of his wound- [j1 ed vanity. hi We have the same authority that the es- es trangement between Bayard and Hampton R originated in the same way. Hampton, too, ? refused to sign the paper asking the President to appoint Secretary Bayard to a place jj in his Cabinet. Soon after Mr. Bayard had b taken possession of the department, Mr. R Hampton had a call upon his favor by a hi Republican Consul stationed at a fairly ^ good post in Europe. This Republican was a South Carolinian, who had served in the e> Confederate Army. At the close of the th war he was poor, and thought he would ad-' m vance his fortunes better by turning Repub- T lican. He asked Mr. Hampton to have him retained. Mr. Hampton had always known ^ his family, and so thought the request a 0j reasonable one. He went to Mr. Bayard so and said this was the one favor he would h< ask of him, to permit this Republican, who J** had a good record, to remain in his place, rj Yet this friend of Mr. Hampton was one of the very first who was removed. Mr. Hampton would, perhaps, not have resent- a ed this so much if there had been a general re change, but while th6 majority of the Re publican office holders in the consular ser- as vice were retained, he takes it very unkind- se ly that his friend has been singled out. He th has not been to the State Department since. ^1 MASSACHUSETTS POLITICS. a.r 311 The Massachusetts Iiepubfican State Con- ^ vention, in session at Springfield last week, fr nominated a State ticket headed by Gover- pi nor Robertson for re-election. Senator u] Wnnr whn wns trindp nermanpnt, chairman. th made a long address on the issues of the j day, taking practically the same view of | a> Southern questious as Senator Sherman, j in lie denied that the Republican party, orj si any person to whom it had given its conti- tl dence, had any hatred for the South, or j ^ would seek to keep alive any sectional feeling, and stated that the better element at the South is already beginning to realize es this. He said: "We have been touched by ai the sympathy expressed for the old warrior ^ by the men whom he conquered, but is it too much to say that the hand which has clasp- ^ ed that of the dying Grant has given and has taken too much honor, even thereafter, to stuff a ballot box or shoot a voter?" In speaking of the Adrainstration of President ja Cleveland, Senator Hoar, said: "I would tc speak with all personal kindness of the Pres- lo ident. I like some things his Administra- tl tion has done, especially its firmness and w courage in protecting the rights of the In- *c dians. In the name of the whole manhood ^ of the country I would call upon the Execu- b tive to suppress and punish with the strong- ns est hand the outrages committed and threat- re ened against the inoffensive Chinese, and ^ assure him that in such a case he will have C( the fullest support of the people of Massa- 0j chusetts, without distinction of party." j O The platform adopted demands the sus- ai msion of the silver dollar coinage; the ippression of polygamy, the enforcement the civil service act, and continues as llows: The Republican party has heartily and j j ?eply rejoiced in the many manifestations 'sympathy and good feeling in the South, illed forth by the death of our great soldier . id patriot, and as Republicans we wish for 1 le complete and perfect reconciliation be- [ veen these sections. To have such a re- , mediation, the results of the war must { j accepted everywhere in good faith. But c le result has been accepted; the negro en- 1 anchised by the war is largely deprived * his privileges as a voter. In certain 1 tates, elections are a mockery, the returns ? re fraudulent, and voting is a farce. If we ( ere to be silent to this crying evil, we t lould be false to all the traditions and prin- c pies of our party, as well as those of the 1 merican Government and American free- ' 3m. Against these great wrongs, so dan- ] jrousandso un-American, yet vindicated . ad maintained by Democratic majorities in { le House of Representatives, we propose to t ?itate and protest. We appeal against it to 1 ublic opinion, both North and South, we l lan seeK rearess in ?u nruuseu puuut wutiousness and proper legislation. We shall J ot be content until every wrong is crushed j at and justice done. As one specific meas- i re tending to remedy the evil, we urge up1 Congress the policy of making liberal rants in aid of primary education in the resnt slave States. As we protest against the ippression of the negro vote, so also in the ime spirit do we protest against the elecon frauds, countenanced and fostered by le Democratic party in certain cities North, , id we censure President Cleveland for ] ardoning persons convicted of election auds. < The Green backers have also nominated a 1 tate ticket with James Sumner for Gover- { ir. The platform adopted announces ad- s arence to the principles set forth in the t ational party Convention at Indianapolis; ( blares that all action transferring the pow for the coinage and issue of money to 1 arsons or corporations should be revoked; lat the retirement of legal tenders of small t ^nominations is a vicious attempt to anay the people and disturb business, and is violation of law; favors frequent elec- l] onsand rotation in office; condemns the i ,tempt to create an aristocracy of office- r aiders under the pretence of civil service (form, and sets forth that legislation for s le better protection of the wage workers is 1 amended; universal suffrage is favored, f ith a removal of all barriers which limit : i any degree the right of suffrage, and the * i-enactment of the secret ballot law is de- jf anded. I a The Sentence Imposed upon Moses.? c ranklin J. Moses, ex-Governor of South 1 irolina, was placed at tne oar in me ?>usn Superior Court, last Thursday, to relive his sentence for swindling ex-Mayor )bb, Fred Ames and others. His counsel iviewed his career and urged that he had ready been sufficiently punished, having st served a year in the House of Correcon for a similar offence. It was urged iat the offences were committed under cirimstances of extreme want and they could it be called flagrant violations. The dendant was a man of extreme nervous ormization and his imprisonment has told pon him. He was so reduced physically iat further imprisonment would probably event him from ever performing any serce. }f the case could be continued for tree months there were prominent gentleen in Boston who would procure him a tuation. Judge Aldrich said it would almost seem iat the court was listening to an eulogy pon a man of high and exalted character ho had fallen into misfortune. His adintages made his crime so much the great', and it would not be justice to let men ke Mr. Moses go free and send to prison sung men who never had any advantjes, either social or educational. He did )t agree that this was a petty offence. No nsitive man would be engaged in such isiness, and it was time it was stopped. ,'r. Goodrich urged that Moses be sent to te Reformatory Prison, but Judge Al*ich said he did not think the Reforma>ry Prison was made for graduates of edges and Governors. He felt required by ,'ery sense of propriety and duty to treat it i a serious offence. The Judge then im)sed a sentence of three years in the State rison. 1 Moses seemed dazed by the sentence, and i was led away by an officer like a little lild. Homicide ix Cha rleston.?At 10 o'clock st Friday morning, Stephuey Riley, color- 1 1, was shot and killed at the corner of Smith } id Bull streets in Charleston, by Dr. Amer 1 Bellinger, county physician. Riley was ( as known as Democratic Riley, and has ] ?en a very enthusiastic Democrat, even in 1 (construction days. He was very wealthy r a colored man, owning a hack and livery j able on the corner of Smith and Bull ' reets, in which he was killed. Riley was ( inf. thrmicrh sivtimps. Dr. Bellincer was 1 jt in jail and made no statement. Belnger's friends say that on the night before 3 saw the negro, Riley, whipping his hors;unmercifully,and remonstrated with him. iley turned from the horses and cursed ellinger and threatened to use the whip i him. Thereupon Bellinger left the negro id went home. The next morning as Belnger was passing the corner of Smith and ull streets the difficulty was renewed, iley cursed Bellinger and started toward im with a loaded whip handle when he lot in self defence. There are rumors of 1 entirely different cause for the killing, it it cannot be published unless given in ddence. The community are general in ie opinion that I)r. Bellinger did not cornit the deed wantonly or without cause, he verdict of the coroner's jury, rendered i Monday was that Riley came to his ?ath from wounds inflicted by a pistol in ie hands of A. X. Bellinger. The general linion is that Bellinger shot Riley from ime other cause besides the fuss about the irses on Thursday night. Bellinger is in il, and will probably remain there until j ie November term of the Charleston Court ' Sessions. Ward's Threat.?Ferdinand Ward has brother, a man of integrity and highly spected. This brother is naturally much ortified at Ferdinand's disgrace, but proves to stand by and shield him as much i possible from what he considers underved or extreme obloquy. To this end, ie culprit has been advised to make a ean breast of his transactions, hurt whom may, and the public is already treated to i outline of what is promised. This confeson, with proof, is expected to demonstrate lat the Grant family drew more money om the firm of Grant and Ward than they it in; that Fred Grant was really mixed ? in contracts with the Government; that s ie Grant family lost by outside specnlaons, under the advice of outside friends, nounts which, if now theirs, would do vay with all the cry of poverty; that promlent men, including bank presidents, were f larers and partners in the whole business; j t lat Ferdinand Ward has not a dollar; and ; t tat the apparent loans of Gen. Grant and \ her members of the firm represent exorbint gains on these so-called contracts. It is certain that some powerful infiuenc- , ; have hitherto baffled justice in this case, id it now looks as if Ward would escape ,, i threatening to squeal upon his "wicked ( j irtners," who may be rich enough and j * lighty enough to stop his mouth and defy ie law.?Augusta Chronicle. \ Prosecuting Polygamists.?At Salt1 s 1 - - tu 1 11 !_ ! s aae uuy, msi rriuay, r.uwaru Dram was v mvicted of unlawful cohabitation. His j test wife, a Danish girl, testified freely as | ) their marital relations. Brain made a | >ng statement to the Court, maintaining le truth of his belief, of which he said he j as assured by the direct revelation of God I > himself. His covenants, he said, were lade for eternity and he would stand by lem at all hazards. Judge Zaine reminded rain that two of his wives in this "eter-1 il covenant" of which he spoke were al- ; ;ady divorced from him and his first wife ! as dishonored in her old age. To talk of lis being an eternal covenant under Divine immand was blasphemy, and he was tired f hearing such hypocritical cant. The ourt sentenced Brain to six months in jail id to pay a fine of $:wn.

Not only was a portion of his skull joi aj blown off?severed from the head?but it is UT Sk stated as true that at leastone-third of his brains 5. spilled on the ground where they were left.

The Western and Pa- ,s ic States furnish exactly one-half of the al casualties. Other sections of the coun- t ' report failures below the average. MERE-MENTION. The health of Gen. Toombs, of Georgia, is juite low, and it is said his mind is wanlering. Mr. Flower having declined he Democratic nomination for LieutenantGovernor of New York, the State Commitee has selected Gen. E. F. Jones to fill the vacancy. Gen. Jones was in command )f the Sixth Massachusetts regiment, which vas attacked in Baltimore when on the way o Washington in 1801. There are now iving only nine ex-Senators who were memiers of the United States Senate at the openng of the late war. Considerable snow ell in some of the Northern States last week ind serious damage was done to the crops lot yet harvested. Governor Iioadly challenged U. S. Senator Sherman to engage in debate with him at Dayton last Saturday ; but the hero of the bloody shirt ieclined. The Dakota prairie fires in McPherson county for the last few days rnve swent awav evervthiner over an area )f 100 square miles. Hundreds of farmers ire destitute. The fires in South Dakota liave been extinguished, but those to the north are burning fiercely. John Kelly, Tammany's ruler, declares that he is out of politics forever. The death of Mr. Joseph H. Dodson, one of the most important witnesses for the prosecution in the Cluyeriuscase, may result in working a favoranle change for the condemned murderer in the approaching trial on appeal. Continued rains in Alabama nave done great Jamage to cotton and the matured corn crop. Reports come from various parts of the state that cotton seed is sprouting in bolls an the stalk, and that corn is also rotting and sprouting. Mrs. Druse, who last winter killed her husband, cut up his body and burnt it in the cooking stove has been tried at Little Falls, N. Y., where she committed the deed, and found guilty of murder in the first degree. Local Option in Georgia.?The passage of the General Local Option bill by the Georgia Legislature has revived the temperance crusade in that State in a wonderful degree. An Atlanta dispatch says: While the bill was before the Legislature the Prohibitionists gave out that they would be content with a high license in large cities. Since the bill, passed into law, however, they have changed front, and Atlanta is just now the scene of violent agitation. Mayor Hillyer, the City Council, the news papers, and otner prominent influences are at work for the prohibition of the liquor traffic. There are ?5,000,000 invested in the liquor business in this city by half a dozen wholesale houses, 000 licensed saloons, and real estate owners. A prominent physician, Dr. O'Brien, joined the Prohibitionists and was at once boycotted by the liquor men. The negroes oppose high license because that cuts off places where they can drink, and they are forced into either free liquor or prohibition straight. Thousands of dollars have been subscribed toward the campaign fund on both sides. The agitation has extended to other cities, and prohibition in Atlanta will be followed by prohibition In Savannah and Augusta. The Irish and Germans, however, are quite strong in these two cities, and the struggle will be close. Before winter is over there will not be adrop of liquor sold in Georgia under legal sanction. National Education.?Senator Blair says he will reintroduce the educational bill in the Senate early in next session, and thinks Mr. Willis and other friends of the bill will introduce.it in the House in time to secure action upon it before the end of the session. He believes that Republican members of the House and nearly one-half of the Southern Democrats will support the measure. Mr. Blair says it was defeated in the House last session only by preventingconsideration, and that it commands the support of about two-thirds of the Senators. Tobacco Statistics.?The annual report of the Danville, Va., Tobacco Association, published on the 1st instant, shows sales in that market of leaf tobacco for the year closed September 30th, of 37,018,000 pounds, at an average of 13.59 cents, against 27,548,000 pounds, at an average of 13.07 cents for the preceding year.
