Leiter lo the Philadelphia Time*. LURAY, VA., October 10. Years ago-nobody koowa bow many -somebody wandered up on what is now known as Cave Hill. lie discovered an opening, which seemed to lead far into the earth, lie made a torch-or at least I suppose lie did-and started out to ex plore it. No one knows how long ho wandered around in a scries of intricato passages. He climbed over chasms, crawled through damp and dark tunnels and slipped into pools of water. On ev ery side stalactites, from which drope of water fell like rain, glistened as he turned his torch upon thom. Dazzled by their beauty he kept on and on. TIis torch burne J low, and then ho discovered that ho was lost. Ho knew not which way to turn. No matter which passago he followed he seemed to get further away from tho light of day. His torch I flickered and sputtered and went out. I Ho was helpless and alone in a vast cavo, i which po ono knew. His foot slipped and he felt himself falling. Down, down be wnt until he was dashed in pieces at the to*-, of a steep precipice. Every bono in hiB body was broken, and to-day thrco hundred feet under the hill, soma of those bones, petrified and os solid os tho rocks in which they are firmly fixed, may bs seen and aro shown to all visi tor.-- to the Luray Cave who havo the courage to climb down into Skeleton Gulch. A SIMPLE COUNTRY VILLAGE. Lauray is a pretty place. The only way to reach it is by stage. Tho inhab itants have groat expectations. A rail road is building, and when it reach ci here the charm of Luray will be gone Now it is a simple little Virginia village In a few yean it will bo a bustling town. For a year past moro people have visited hero than C7i*t belore. They como by the scores to g? through thc cave, which is still new and hasn't lost ita novelty yet, even to the resident of Luray. Tho cave is tho one grea thing they find to talk about-that anc tho coming railroad. Tho trip fron Philadelphia isn't such a very long one Starting in tho evening, you reac! Washington in ample time for the 8.3( train tho noxt morning from the Balti more and Ohio depot. By ll o'clocl Harper's Ferry is reached, and thet comes a delightful ride of about eight; miles up the Shenandoah Valley, th roi. jj ono of the prettiest and most f?rtil Btrips of laud to bo found in this coun try. The valley is filled with- place made famous by the war. Plenty o traces aro left of the fierce struggle wagci over every foot almost of this ground At Windcheater, the metr?polis of th valley, the great monument made, ii Philadelphia now Btands as a tombston over the unrecorded Confederate deaei Sheridan's ride to Cedar Creek every body remembers. New Market Depc is reached at about 3 o'clock, and the comes the most delightful part of th trip-the rido OVER TUE MOUNTAINS. Tho stage-it is more of a baroucL than a stage-rat-tics away over a bra nc of the Shenandoah and drives up to tb New Market House with a Houris] The t:-wa is three miles from the depo There are yet eleven miles to travel ove and it will take upwards of three houi to accomplish tho distance, for the rone are utcep-very Bteop. The range t mountains right ahead is the Massanu ton range. Up, up you go, over the ri markably good roads. Great, lumbe ing farmers' wagons pass you occosici ally going to town. Now and then tl carriage drives by a spring-house--fi you are in the spring country now. Grii ning cegroes, who apparently haver found out yet that slavery has been abc ?shod, and care much less, look out fro their little log cabins. They are a hap| set. I know of no class of people wi take lifo so easy as the Virginia darkie On either side are fields of waving cor with an occasional patch of sugar car But now the carriage is nearly at the b of the gap-Pinafore Gap a party nanu it the other day, and as Pinaforo Gap bas gone down' on the books of t guides. "Take your last look of i hennndoah," says the driver ; "?n a m mont more you will loso sight of it a cross into Page County." You may ta of your Catskills, but I doubt if there finer Bconery anywhere on the Huds than gan be badi fren; tho Maaauuuit rango, 2,500 feet above the sea. Aw down nt the bose ol' tho mountaii stretching for miles, is the bcauti Shenandoah Valley. Off in the d tance ihe Allegheny Mountains ri I "How bluo thoy arel" says some e: "Wait a moment," says the driver, "a you will sed some that are bluer." 1 Butnniit is reached, and in a moment I Shenandoah ar.-3 the Alleghenies i shut out from sight. But there is eve more beautiful panorama in nero. N Page Valley iain, full view, bad the B Ridge Mountains tower up to woudri height.). It is, indeed a porfect pick DRIVING INTO TOWN. Down, down tho carriage runs at g< rate speed. Now tho journey begin; S;et exciting. The wheels run. uuee ortably near the Bide of the road, foi slide oil' it would be death. The mo tain is steep and tho dark sido does look very inviting. It docs not take h to descend or to'ford the Shenandoah tho valley beneath, and then the r becomes moro level. The little cabins of the negroes increase in mimi and occasionally a white man's house poised. There is invariably someth tho matter with it, however. Either chimney ia propped np with a pole or steps are missing, and a plank ia nc Bary to gain an entrance through front door. It is growing dark when carriage crawls up Cave Hill and dat down Into Luray, a milo or so from cave. Tho Washington House I fixed on poles outside and rung wi rope, sounds the supper hour in c tones which can bo hoard all over village, and after tho long ride over mountains no one is averse to a mea chicken and corn bread and pure ce try milk. Tho greasy bacon BO corni throughout Virginia and the Louth h li -htfully conspicuous by its absence. Ls rather late to obtain a good view ol surroundings, but if any ono can p' up enough courage to turn out at an? hour ho will be amply repaid, clouds which hide the mountain tops the mists which riso from the little c i windin? ita-way through Page Vi gradually disappi.'? and lcavo the j Ridge as black as the faces of tba dai themselves. Then a' little atrcaV of pie appears on the Matsanutton oi tho west, which increases'until tho w mountain is colored a bright hue. moment moro the sun shoots up thn a little gap in Ute Blue Ridge ant sunlight finds ita way little by litt!? tho dark cavern? which dot the ta tains hero and there. DESCENDING INTO THE Ci^S. But tho cavo. Of course tba. \ Que great attraction. No ono knows who first discovered it. Probably the man whoso bones lie at the bottom of Skele ton Gulch was t' o first ono to cuter it, but be never lived to tell the story. It is said that tho cave was known a hundred years ago, and that there is to-day a map which was drawn a century since. If BO, it ? J funny that the cave ehould havo been forgotten and tho entrance closed, for until prospector!? made the discovery a couple of years or so ago no ono in this neighborhood knew anything concerning it, except, possibly, in legendary form. Ono of tho proprietors is a Jerseyman, I believe He aud hui companion became convinced, from tho formation of tho land, so they say, that there was a cave hore. Perhaps they knew Bomolhiog concerning tho map, but however that may bo, they began a systematic search. They dug down Into the earth and liual ly found a big hole. Ono of thom let himself down with a rope and found himself in a long possago-way. The men bought tho laud, but os soon as tho orig inal owner discovered what was up, ho considered that he had Iren cheated ia some way, and immediately began a suit to recover. It will tako a long time to mettle tho ownership of this cave, for tho Supremo Court will finally have to do cido the question. Just how largo the cave is I dou't know. There are parts of it that haven't been opened up to visitors yet. Right over tho opening is a littlo house, whero the requisite candles and lights aro obtained, and then, with Guide j Colvin in tho lead, you step on to tho ! stairs and go down a dark and steep in? I clino until far below tho surface of the I earth. WONDERS UNDER GROUND. ? lt. is possible that some people may form some sort of an idea what a cave is beforo they visit one. It is possible they may havo a clearer idea wheu they coim. out. I didn't. Ii is ft wendron* affair, ol'course: but just where tho thing be gins and just whero tho thing ends, and whero the sides arc. if thore oro any, and where the centre is, if. thero is any, I don't know. All I know is that with four or five others I wandered around at tho rate of a mile an hour for three hours, and didn't know whore I was any of the time. Thero are stalactites and stalag mites on overy side, and any quantity of curious formations of nil sorts. You go through narrow passages, you go through passages .vith high roofs and you crawl through passages with low roofs. It is worse than tho Catacombs themselves. You go into large chambers und small chambers and caverns and gulches and all Borta of things. They will show you the Washington Column and tho Spectre Column, which looks exactly liku a big white ghost rising out of a chasm. Thou they will allow you to drink lime waler out of tho Crystal Lake and take another drink out of tho Devil's Lake. Thoy will take you to tho Fish Market, where there is a goodly collection of curious rocks resembling species of the finny tribo. They will snow you a Btony dog and stony animals of ali sorts ; leather mado out of stone and a wholo patch of potatoes of tho samo material. They will take you.to thc Natural Bridge aud play a tune for you on an organ of stalac tites or stalagmites or something or other, A beautiful Angrl's Wing flits before your eyc3, and the slender Riding Whip j you want to steal os a memento of th( visit. You can look over into the Bot l tomless Pit, and believe, if you caro to the story that no one has yet been abl< to find its depth. Then you con clim! down into Skeleton Gulch and seo UH bones. A good many people don't can to undertake the trip, as it ts rather dan gerous, but I saw a lady go down int< tho chasm in safety the otber day anc then laugh at her companions becausi they did not daro to follow her. Abou tho time you enter the Ball Room yot conclude that you don't know whore yoi arc. It is a large chamber with vanita roof and plank floor, and everybody tba enters tho cave has to como here am dance. When it ia illuminated it is vcr beautiful. It is somewhere In the direc tion of tho centre of tho earth, but jua whero tho guide.-, can tell you : I can'l Tho cave is indeed a wonderful affaii There is someting new at every turn, an when tho open air is leached you ar about ready to turn around and go dow: into that dark hole again. FEED YOUNO ANIMATES WELL.--Th man who wears out a caifa teeth in ih effort to make it shirk for itself net raised a prime steer nora good cow. Eve; dollar supposed to be thus saved in th young animal must be replaced by til oxpoudituro of two. The mau who fcc/ b??t while thu animai is young makes tl most money. This is generally recoj ? uized as truo by our best farmers, nn I hence the improvement in stock, at I consequent cheapening in the raising i animale within tho post ten years. Tl samo rule will apply to ail farm stoc If stinted whilo young thoy nover pay tl breeder and feeder a living profit?' Hondo, tho reason why those who do n keep paco with tho times aro nlwa complaining that there is no money stock. The big prices paid by tho bc stock feeders are for animals that ha had their digestivo organs kent intact 1 early and properly prepared nutritio food. Tho value ot a good animal Hes its aptitude to lay on flesh, and thc who keep steadily growing from bir viii continue this growth and increase profitable weight. To do this in thc un economical manner tho digestivo orga must bo orignally strong and unimpair by abuse. ADVICE TO DYHPEPT?CS.-Avoid poi fat meats, groase, gravies, spices, cou fi tionarie*. tea, coifeo, alcoholic drinl beer, malt liquors, of all kinds. Let your food bo plain, simple, who some chiefly, fruits and vegetables. I your bread no made of unbolted whi meal. Take your meals regularly; if three, the supper bo very sparing. Eat slowly, slightly, masticate th oughly. Beware of bot food and drin Avoid luncheons by all means. Excrciso freely in tho open air; no Bit moping, but turn your mind eutir frcT your discEso and trouble. ; Keep tho feet dry; let tho solos your shoes be thick," that no cl amp n may penetrato thom. Keep regular honra; rise early; ex eise half an hour gently beforo bro fast. Banish tho pipe, quid and snuff-box, the plague, forever. Of all tho dyap sin breeders and promotora, nothing cccds tho uso of the "Indian weed. Keep away from the apothecary ; av all quack medicines and nostrums. - Tho Now York Times, having thctitally asked. "What cnn the Rep Hean party do rw tho South ?" tho baoy SCICA pertinently responds, "S lying on na." . - Tho Memphis Acalunche prop? that tho o!d town bo entirely depopi ted and destroyed, and that a new Mi fibis be built at a place known u B ett, eleven miles distant It sugg that "haifa dozen railroad tracks" co do alt the transporting bet**eon tho i city and tho river. There is rio hope tho cessation of tho fever till frost. Tho Bloodhound Kindness. Few Southerners, wo fancy, will care ! to thank Mr. John Thomas Butler for tho j extraordinary "vindication" of thcirchar actcr which no has undertaken, with tho help of his pack of playful bloodhounds and the thrifty negro who censonte, for a consideration, to be "treed" os often as a paying crowd of Northern spectators cLmands a repetition of tho edifying show. In fact, nobody in South Carolina will bo disposed to complain if Mr. But ler should appropriate tho "vindication" as exclusively for his own benefit, as he does tho dollars of tho wondering Now Yorkers which it incidentally harvests. The evil of slavery consisted in just such horrible possibilities os form the real at traction of his bloodhound show. But it is an outrageous libel upon tho whole community of those who wore once slave holders to encourage tho inference that '.ho pursuit of runaway slaves with dogs was over habitual, or even common, lu the South. It was a proceeding that ex cited as much horror among tho Southern people at large as it would havo doue in any other civilized uart of tho world, and not one slaveholder in ten thou sand ever dreamed of resorting to BO repulsive a barbarity. How tho bloodhound bu?iuess was regarded in this State the record plainly shows. In 1854 South Carolina, through her Courts and hor Executive, w as called upon to ox ?tress ber reprobation of just such a per or m r\ti co as Mr. Butler is now so pleas antly illustrating. Inthcseventh volume of Richardson's Law Reports, p. 327, will bo found a full report of tho coso of tho State against Thomas Motley and Wm. Blackledge, who wero tried in 1853 for the murder of an unknown negro. We give tho case as it is officially reported. "On the trial of Blacklcdgo it was shown that a negro man calling himself Joo, and who said nt? oL'?otige? to Mnnigauit, was taken up as a runaway by one Grant, on July 4,1S53 ; that during that night, Row ell, iu company with Blackledge, called upon Grant, who transferred the posses sion of tho negro to Rowell, he under taking to taite charge of him until Grant could take him to jail at Walter boro'. This proof was not made on tho trial of Motley. Tho noxt day, July 5, according to tho testimony on both trials, tho negro, unknown to any of tho witness es, was seen in possession of tho three prisoners. They had a number of dogs with them. They called the'negro Joo, and ho answered to that name. They Haid they had whipped him because ho would not tell his master's name ; but he repeatedly eaid thut ho belonged to Mauigault. Throo witnesses testified to tho cruel and barbarous treatment to which tho nergro was that day in their Itresonce subjected by Motley and Black edge-two of the witnesses thought that the treatment was sufficient itself to kill him ; the third, that if sent to jail he must have died. A physician, who heard the evidence, testified that tho negro would have died from tho abuso ho re ceived, as detailed by thc witnesses. "The witnesses described Joe 'to bo a black negro, bair very kinky, about five feet B?X inches high, and twenty-two years of age.' When they left, ho was alive and in tho possession of the prison ers. Circumstances, given in evidence on the trial, led to the belief, that, after tho witnesses left, the negro escaped, or was permitted to fly by tho prisoners, was pursued by them with their dogs, overtaken and killed not far from the place where last seen by tho witnesses. On tho 17th or 18th of July, Motley and Blacklcdgo were arrested. Blacklcdgo, by persuasion and hopo of immunity, was induced to make a confession. On tho trial of M otley, the witness was allowed to Btate only BO much of the confession as led to tho discovery of the bones and hair of a negro concealed behind a log in a swamp, not far from the pince where Joo was supposed to havo been killed. These remains were not identified. The bones were tboso of a man whoso size corresponded with that of. Joo, ss de scribed by the witnesses. On tho trial of Blackledge, his confession wns brought o'lt by himself without objection on tho part of the State. It was to the effect, that after tho witnesses left, the negro es caped, was pursued with tho dogs by Motley on foot and Blacklcdgo on horse back, was overtaken and killed by Mot ley, and his body concealed behind the log where his hones wero afterwards found." Tho jury convicted the prisoners of mur der. An appeal was made to tho Appeal Court, ana tho caso was elaborately argued by distinguished COUUBOI, and among other points it was nrgod by the defence that "the evidence "reduced the charge from murder to manslaughter, oi to killing in sudden heat and passion, inasmuch rs the negro was pursued as a runaway, which pursuit was lawful.' The Appeal Court, after disposing of thc technical grounds, thus expresses itsel as to the defence. "The third ground, that tho evidence reduced tho charge, from murder to kill ing in Budden bent and passion, require! but a passing remark. However lawfu the pursuit and apprehension of a fugi tive slave, tho conduct of this prisoner and of his associate in guilt, afford/1 at exhibition of a wicked purpose and gre; recklessness of human lifo rarely me with.

The prisoners were sentenced to b hung on tho 3d of March, 1854. The had been removed from Walterboro' t Charleston, where tho Court sat, to fa present at tho hearing of their appeal, t was their right. On tho 25th or Januar tho Attorney-General, Mr. Inane W Hayne, stated to tho Court that bo ha received information calculated to creal apprehension that an attempt would fa made to rescue the prisoners on their wa to Walterboro', ana, on his motion, iii Court ordered tho Sheriff of Charlcsto to detain the prisoners in the jail in th city until tao time of execution. Gove: nor Manning, who was then tho Exec*, tive, took efficient steps to prevent an attempt at rescue. A military dotacl ment, consisting of details from tb Washington Light Infantry, Palmotl Guard, Marion Artillery, and other con panics under the command of Genera then captain, A. M. Manigault, was sei to guard tba prisoners to the placo i execution and to maintain tho civil al tbority in carrying out the sentence ; ar on tba day appointed theso mon were di ly hanged.

His ship, the ' Vega, was arrested in her passage by tho < ico on tho 28th of September, 1878. Two ' days moro of open wea.lier and 6be ' would have entered Behr-tig's Strait, and 1 reached Yokohama two months earlier < than she did. Tho winter was spent on i thc cast side of Koljutshnn Bay, ono milo * from shore, in latitude G7 deg. 7 min., and longitudo 173J deg. west from < Greenwich, tho Vega obtaining a rolenso 1 on tho 18th of July. The cold was in- ' tenso, with mild weather at some inter valu. During their detention tho Vega < was tho constant rendezvous of the hap- 1 py, peaceful and indigenous inhabitants < of tho mninlaud, caliea tho Tschuktschi. > They transact a trade between Siberia j and Alaska in winter by sledges over tho ' bridge of ico, and in summer ny the open < sea. The winter was a hard ono, and ' the visitors to tho Vega received 3,000 t pounds of bread among thora. These ' people, though paying n slight tributo to "J KUM -.ia for permission to trade, admit no ( allegiance. Thoy havo no government, j no laws, and ahnest no religion. Thou- 1 sands of them wero seen by tho officers ' of tho Vega, but they never saw or f heard of a cinglo caso of quarreling < among thora. Pofect harmony prevailed J iu their villages and families ; tho wo- I men were treated by them with great ? deference and politeness. Their lan- 1 guago is peculiar, and BIIOWB no adi ni ty E to any other known tongue. The young j women aro very fair, of perfect symmo- J try and fine proportions. Tho men aro J tall, above tho average height, and somo J wore seen equal to the best specimcus of J Northern Europe. Ono woman was 1 Been of gigantic proportions, her height ' being over seven feet.

He deems that the ex tent of Siberia, tho rich virginity of its Boil and its other natural riches aro only . comparable- to the same conditions in North America one hundred and fifty j years ago, and ho thinks that tho future development of tho rich tracts of Asia . may equal that attained in tho past by . the United States. TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN ILLINOIB.-Wm. ( Hogg, ono of tho oldest and most highly j respected citizens of Bloomington, 111., ( returned homo nt noon the other day ana ( on entering tho parlor shot his daughter, ] Mary, aged 18. Passing out into the - yard he called for his son William, aged ? 12, who was playing, placed the pistol to t bis head and fired, tho bali coming out t under the opposite ear. Then, stepping ? into the woodshed behind the house, ho f)laced tho pistol to his own head and ired, tho ball lodging in tho brain. He fell upon thc Soor, micro ho was found soon aftcrwud by a passer-by with a revolver in his right hand and his blood dyeing the floor around him. Mary and her 'father aro both dead. Tho son is likely to recover. Hogg recently married a young wife, his second, and was apparently living in comfort. This morning his wife went to Normal, and probably escaped a like terrible fate. Hogg was always considered excentric. He was for years r. successful speculator in lands, but recently ho had been unfor tunate, losing the bulk of his property. This it is supposed preyed upon his mind. FROM PROF. WISE'S BALLOON.-A roll of papers was found on tho beach of Lake Michigan at Lako Station, Ind., thirty miles southeast of Chicago, on Oc tober 20, which was thrown from tho bal loon in which Prof. Wise and Mr. Burr left St. Louis three wooka ago yesterday; The package contained circulars fora western land company, similar to those found in central Illinois, and on their backs were written the following senten ces : "Thrown from Prof. Wise's trans continental balloon T'nthfiudcr," and "Dropped from Prof. Wise's balloon.'' The papers bad ovidontly been in tho water sumo time, but they were not mu tilated, and tho writing was plain. The balloon passed over Lake Cation on .the. night after its departure from St. Louis. The finding of these papers is considered conclusive evidence that it must have gone down in tho water. Thero is much excitement at the Station, nod a large number of persons searched tho beach for miles, Imping to hud como traco of the missing balloon and men. TAKING THE CENSUS.-We have re- ' ceived from Francis A. Walker, Super intendent of Census, a circular concern ing tho oflico of enumerator under the census law. By tho Act of 1879 enume ration districts are not permitted to ex ceed 4,000 inhabitants according to the census of 1870. . Tho number or inhabi tants in enumeration districts, except in cities or largo towns, should ordinarily fall far short of this limit. The amount to be paid to enumerators wilt bc from , $4 to $6 per .day of ten boura of Actual work. The work b to be done within four weeks in tho country and within two weeks in cities. The Superintendent thinks that country physicians and echoblniastcra will prove the best enume rators.' , Tho enumeration is. to bo made lu June, 1880.-Newberry Herald. COMMENTS OF TUE PRESS. What the Leaning Journal? of Various Shade? of Opinion say ?bout tho Result tn Ohio. From the New York Time*. All the dispatches from OhioBIJOW that the interest ia tho election of yesterday was intenso and tho vote polled waa among tho largest erer known in the State. Phis ls greatly due to the importance if tho general issues involved, and par? tially to the effect which the result of tho election waa expected to have upon the personal fortun?e of distinguished men, especially in tho Democratic party. rho campaign, so far as tho puaiic dis cussion went, has boon almost aa com? plctcly national in ita character as ii representatives in Congress, or even Presidential electors, were to have been .hosen. On the Republican aide great prominence has been given to tho South ern questions. Although Slr. Foster was intimately connected with the earlier ef forts of Air Hayes to give a now complex, on to the Southern policy of the gov* sruraent, neither ho nor bia friends have hesitated to occupy the moat "stalwart" ground. In fact, Mr. Sherman, who U "cgnrded as tho political sponsor of Mr. Foster, has gone as far as any ono c. Mid jo in advocating tho views which tho jxtremest Republican critics of tho Ad ninistrntion nave advanced, and Mr. j 3churz, who bas boen tho most intelli* i gent of the President's advisors in South? ! ?rn matters, gave more temperate and ra* j ional, but not less emphatlo support to 1 ho doctrine that the only remedy, for ho evils with which tho South threatens ho country was a decided Republican icntlment in the North. Tho magnet vhich drew tho disaffected to the Renub ican ticket waa tho unmistakable firm less of the party for equal rights in thu .outh. Had tho Republicans taken tho lighest ground on the currency, we be* ievo they would have succeeded equally voil, and their victory would have had rrealer value. But the significance of bo victory lies in the ovidence which it u'lbrds that tho people of Ohio, fairly j 'eprcsonting tho people of tho North, it o thoroughly aroused as to the tenden* sy of Democratic rule, and are resolved .0 overthrow it whorover it has gained a footing. From the New York Herald. This decisive Republican triump ia of national interest. Besides disposing of several prominent Ohio statesmen, it will inspire courage and hope in the Itepub* lican party throughout tho United States. Sven locally it i i of considerable impor* ance. It extinguishes Senator Thar* nan's chances of re-election and puts an md to any lurking aspiration which Ew ing may havo bail to be Thurman'a euc* lessor. But these local consequences are ts dust in the balance. The great eig lincanco of tho Ohio election lies ?a ita nfiuenco upon national polities and its icaring on the ??lection of candidates ind the aaccecs of parties in the great Presidential contest of next year. It mikes it impossible for the Democratic :andidate to bo taken from Ohio, and fa* rors Tildon's chances of nomination by tutting some of his principal rivals out jf tho field. But in proportion as it im proves Tilden's chances of nomination it l.minishes his chancea and the chances if any Democratic candidate for an cloc .ion. Tilden ia a shrewd calculator, and it may turn out that he will not covet tho nomination after the amoke has lifted from the preliminary battles of the pr? tent year. If New York should follow the example of Ohio, Tilden would aim ply lose his labor by intriguing nny fur ther for the D?mocratie nomination, and iie may prefer that some other candidate ihoula lead tho forlorn hope. Tho result in Ohio tends to a Republican anccess in c^ew York, and should this bo the actual, sffect, Tilden may bid a long farewell to Presidential honors. All that can bo assorted positively of ;ho result in Ohio to-day is that the Re publicans have failed to take; that great Commonwealth out of the wavering line >f States doubtful for 1880, and to plant t, aa they hoped to plant it, in the van of be Republican column, whore of old it iscd to stand. Mr. Blaine stands on as fair a footing 'o-day tu Maine ns Mr, j 3h?rman in Ohio. Mr. Ewing bas boen leaton, as he elected to be when nt the )ute?t of his* can vas be deliberately oban loned the strong ground of an outright ? Democratic protest against the vctoea of President Hayes, and undertook to conn er vrith his esra financial theories the stalwart facts of a magnificent harvest in ho Weat, of unpnrafelled crops at the south ana of nh inflowing tide of gold from Europe. It appears, oven from the partial reports so far received, that the Democratic candidate iii- Ohio owes his iefeat chiefly to the stern hostility pro* poked among the German-born Demo* ;rats of Hamilton County by his finan* :ial heresies. From ihe Washington Pott. This is disheartening intelligence.' We bad hoped, evon when it was evident that Foster had beeo elected to the Gov ernorship that the Legislature would turn out to have. a Democratic majority, on joint ballot, and the fact that tho roi verso ls really true ia what makes, it a serious disappointmont. Thu result ia nrpbably duo, more than anything else, to the unfortunate stand' of Gon.' Ewing DU the financial questions. The people of Ohio evidently do not bellovo in soft money. On the whole we think it is about time for tho Democratic party to recognize the fact that this isa hard money eou.otry. Let it return to its old time principles and act, in every instance, accordingly. Front the New York 2K5aKf. This great victory must not be bolitttad by assigning it to too narrow canses. It is not the result of Mr. Foster's oaergetio canvass, nor of the labors of any. man, however able and sincere. It in not the result of tho Sherman boom, nor of the Grant boom, nor of tho Blainp boom, ncr of tbe Hayes boom. ?H these 'currents in the cn.?np?ygc have hod their effect, no doubt, but tho one mighty causo has been the profound conviction of - tho - people that the interests of the country would not be safe for the next four years in Democratic bands. ; .

The Ohio victory ls a warning to the South that it cannot obtain the suprema cy that it covets by the means it has adopted ; and what Ohio bat said re specting this matter will be said with equal vehemence by other Northern I States in November.
