The Late Struggle. There can be found no grand er history in polities than the struggle just emled liy the Ke publican party of Ohio. It was no struggle for place or power, but merely a fight for principle; a glorious eflort cn tho part of that party lo carry the civili zation of the nineteenth century higher up toward tho eternal truth of God. Tlie time will comtf when no man will dare lo vote ngninst such a great principle of right and justice. Christian civilization must be wrong, or this great principle must be right Is there any one than can doubt the result to hile we move forward ? When we again advance the timid will adance with us. It is true that we have fail ed to carry the measure of all are equal before the law, but let the Republicans, who out side of our own State, sneer at our failure in securing a victo at tho polls, remember that fully a quarter of a million of voters in Ohio, never swerved from duty,but stood squarely up to the issue. We have done our duty neither flinching nor faltering. Tho issue was ably and with ardor pressed. Our party presented a solid front It was the stragglers who lost us the victory. They will be with us when the next contest comes, and the scalo will be turned. Union men will reap the reward of their labor in the future, and will know no more of such crushing defeats. of in on the the of The Enquirer say6 that Capt. Jones remarked on tho eve of tho election, that lie would go to "Old Meigs to take his jubi lee. The Capt. told his friends alter the polls closed on the eve of tho election that Vinton county had gone largely Dem ocratic, and added that he was learful that Lawrence and Gal lia would not do as well as was expected. Dut said he "there has been work done in Meigs and when the Democrats get to howling around here, I'll go to old Meigs to take my jubi lee ; she will bo all right." llow about it? Tho whole thing sim ply shows that Capt. Joxes knew what he ' was talking about. He relied on the coun ty where, tho most work had' been done, and the result shows that where we put forth the most eflort the better ac count of our labor is shown. Gallia had a3much margin to go on as Meigs, but came out with barely a majority, while Lawrence drifted away with the flood. A Correspondent of the Cin cinnati Commercial philoso phizing upon our defeat speaks thus of southern Ohio: Those acquainted in the coun ies bordering on the Ohio Riv er. in the south-eastern sec tion, where Republican majori ties from five to twelve hun- Idred have either been wiped out or greatly reduced, state that tho rebel immigration since the war amounts to perfect Krvarm in that section. Numbers who had been confin ed at Camp Chase nover re turned South after the war, but settled in the mining and man ufacturing sections, and on election day swarmed at the polls and to a man voted the Democratic ticket and agabst the Constitutional Amend ment. This accounts in part of course only in part the overthrow of majorities such as were previously given the Republicans in Scioto, Gal lia and Lawrence, and greatly increased Democratic vote in Meigs, Belmont and Jefferson. S. S. Cox does not take part with the Democracy in their joy over tneir success, thinks the result of the elections makes the election a Union President next year sure. ' Ue says the losses the Republican party will it to nominate Grant the Presidency, and he can. be beaten. Cox is a good prophet among his political associates, and they may confidence in this, if to other of his shrewd predictions come true The Enquirer and the Senatorship. ship. Tee Enquirer man i3 wonder fully delighted over the Sena torship in the Stli District. He has a right to rejoice over tho success of his parly, but his personal flings 'at Capt, Jo.vts are certainly in bad taste? and only ill ustrates the bitter feelingexistingngainstthe Cap tain in tho opposition party. We stated last week, and gave the figures, showing tha Capt. Jones made a better run than did tho candidates for the Legislature in several coun ties in the District. The vote jor Senator in this county was even with that of Mr. Fee. In Gallia county, Mr. Oxderdoxk's home, Joxes came out with a majority of 79, while Mr. Stone, Republican candidate for the Legislature, is beaten by 17 votes. In Meigs and Lawrence counties he ran ahead of the candidates for the Legislature also. That he is behind the State ticket is uot strange. In Jackson, Washington, Ross and Hocking counties, in fact throughout the State, the effort was made on tho Legislature, and in every county and Dis trict from which wo can hear the Senators and Representa tives are behind the State offi cers. The Enquirer talks about negro votes and refers to the law of 1S59. Wonder if our Demo cratic editor don't know that the act of 1559 as to 'visible ad mixture' was repealed in 1865. If he don't he had better learn something before ho attempts to talk law. Wo have avoided personal abuse during the campaign, and will continue to do so. We regard the low personal flings of the Enquirer at Capt. Jones only as the waters that llow from impure fountains. a The Democracy are having a nice little fight over the United States Senatorship. It is becoming painfully interest ing. Large meetings have been held in Cutler and Mont gomery counties, and the great Champion, Val. has been put in nomination. lie has recent ly visited colurabus for the purpose of urging the Central Committee to call a State Convention ot the party to meet at Columbus, on the 8th of January; Val., has an ob ject in this, and that is to as semble his friends in such numbers as lo overcome all op position, and to get the Legis lature to nominate and elect him. A number of the lead ing papers of the party are for Thurman and favor his election to that position. Val. was thrown out of the Philadel phia Convention by his own consent, for his party's good, but he does'nt propose to play the part ot a martyr any long er.

A German emigrant thinks lhat if Jeff. Davis is at liberty : this is indeed a free countrv. General Grant. A great many papers have nominated General Grant as tho next Republican candidate for President. We do not like to commit ourselves to Gener al Grant or any other man un til we are certain he is the right man, and advocates our principles, or the principles of tho great Republican party. General Grant is a great Gen eral, and a good man, but we wanttoknow first if he stands in full sympathy with tho prin ciples of our parly before we fly his name at our mast-head as the next Republican candi date for President. That he would make an able Chief Maj istrate, is, perhaps, beyond denial, but he will hivo to de lino his political status as solely within the grand old Union organization beforo wo can say positively Grant for President in 1SG8. ' We heartily endorse the fol lowing remarks of tho Cleve land Leader relative to one of the vital issues of Republican ism. Let us fight it out on that lino until doomsday unless we come out as conquerors: 'We believe it right, (negro stiff rage) and, thougli a major ity of the people of Ohio have voted against it, we propose to convert them to tho right in the future. "We aio going their camps," as back into Sheridan said at Cedar Creek. We propose to pick the flint and try it again. The princi ple of Equal Suffrage is just and sound ; it is the vital issue with the Republican party, and we shall not abandon it because of ono defeat. Jeff. David Again. That old farce of the trial of Jeff. Davis, is again revived. This will afford an excuse for daily telegrams from Washing ton, New York and Richmond. It is now claimed positively that it will take place next month, and assertions that this or that judge will ofliciate is a good foundation for a denial tho next day. It is said, too, that the evidenco is to be ta ken down in short hand with a view lo its publication some day not far distant. It would be mtnh better if the whole matter could bo dropped and forgo tton before the arch-trai tor is further lionized, and the trial becomes a ridicule upon justice. More Retrenchment. A special from Washington to the Cincinnati Commercial says: General Grant has issued another order looking to re trenchment. ! lie directs that all private buildings occupied in this city ly any Bureau of the War Department, bo vaca ted at once, and turned over to their owners. This will ef fect a saving jf many thousand dollars per minth. Since General Grant took hold of the Var Department the retrenchment expenses has beon at tho lite of 5,000,0OQ per annum : 1 1 1 3 3 0 (J 7 0 4 0 0 0 (I 0 0 2 11 8 lost r Ex-Goverr Seymour, of Now York, thd President ol the Chicago Convention that put General McCLkilas in nomin. ation for tho Presidency, has come out in a public speech against the cheme of the socalled Demcratic leaders this State, t pay (?) tho na tional debt u greenbacks.

We speak from experience, having given a practical trial to this renowned Hair Restor ative, when we say that any body in want ol a fine head of hair should at onco procure a bottle. It will excite the scalp to new and healthy action, cleanse it from scurf and dand ruff, prevent the hair from fall ing off, cure those eruptive dis eases which often appear on the head, and, in most cases, produce a fine growth of hair. As a dressing, no better prepa ration can be obtained for im parting a rich and glossy ap pearance to the hair. In fact no other Hair Restorative has ever received or deserved a more universal demand than Barrett's. We cordially rec oinend it to our readers. It is for salo at tho 6tores of all re spectable druggists. Try a bot tle, it will demonstrate its merits in a very short time. Pittsburg Commercial. Negro Suffrage by Act of Congress. Congress, we believe, had belter let that matter alone. Ohio never having been a Rebel Slate, does not need reconstruc tion by that authority. The doc trine, without doubt, is just as applied to tho Rebel States, and Congress should adhere to that policy. Hut as regards Ohio, the ellorts of the Repub licans and ether good men will place her in a just position on this question in the shortest manner that is practicable. A great many strangers vo ted at the different polls in this county on Tuesday, and there is no doubt that a large number of these were illegal voters men wholyive not now and never expect to have -a Fayette County Herald. This we find tho case every where in the State. Here, there are an unusual number of gamblers and loafers, not to say scoundrels, who claimed this as their home, and 6wore in their votes. Many have since disappeared, and others Portsmouth Republican A Wise Suggestion. The Now York Tribune, in commenting upon the result of the late elections, makes some very sensible remarks. It says: "Flooding the country all over with printed matter on the eve of the election is a desperate resort, better than nothing, and that is all. iNo reliance can be placed on it; little good ordinarily comes of it. nut begin now, ana fys- tematicahy insure that every man that has a vote shall have a newspaper if he will take it, aim all is sale.

It is a live paper, and deserves a good support, For the Record. For President. U. S. Grant. Editors Record: During tha past two months we have seen the above in display type; at the "head of column" in pa pers of all political proclivi ties. It would be very strange if all the jarring political ele ments in this country could possibly unite on one man for President, would it not? Grant is beyond doubt a good man, not as dashing or impetuous as Sheridan, not as ambitious as Siii'RMAN,not yet as great in the points which make true greatness as Thomas. lie is nevertheless tho man for Pres ident. If ho takes the place he sacrifices the position of Lieutenant General. Suer man or Thomas will take it, and thus a life position, of the highest military grade, is lain aside for four years of the Presi dency. Will Grajjt make the sacrifice?. If he will it. as still higher evidence of his worth The Democrats have said for eighteen months. past that he was all right; tho Union men say he is all right. Now who will go back on their profes sions, the Union party or the Democrats? Probably the lat ter, because Grant will bo nominated by the Union party. If ho accepts, tho Democrats to be truo to their past history, must get up an opposition can didate. Dut suppose the Dem ociats nominate him, and he accept-, many, of our friends say that is a "horse of a difier ent color." Not a bit ofit.Plat- t'-rins, you say. jJid you ever think of this fact that tho par ty which nominates Grant will have no need ot a plat form? Certainly not. Grant would not feel bound ty any platform; merely his own con victions of what is for the general good. His education is ol a uuierenr kind; lie was taught at West point, and his education in the field has been, that one leading dorminant brain, with one leading plan of operation, was the true theory of action. The hope we have in Grant is that he has tho ability, the brain; that he looks beyond party, above-platforms seeing the true theory of the Repub- ic, will htrive to carry out .that theory, and place this Govejn ment. on the true footing the espectability, peace, liar- Inony and unity of the Repub ic. Is he radical? Of course 10" is radically right. A man of Grant's ability is always rad ical: ho may not be radica ike Stevens; we know he is not radical like Johnson, but we believe he is radical lik Grant. He was radical when le said ho would "fight it ou on that line though it takes al Summer!" Suppose when the old Hero made up his mind on that par ticular point that all the States lad resolved that this particu ar line was not tho right line on which to fight it out, and thoso resolutions had been sen to Grant as the voice of the people, what influence would they have had ou his opera tions? Noue at all. But say you that was military; Presi dents don't do so; true, some times they dont, and sometimes they do. Lincoln made public opinion; the confidence we had in him compelled us to say of his actions, "whatever is, is right." Lincoln controll ed the populace,so will Grant, if elected. We must come up to his standard. We have an instance of the contrary. Johnson has tried 6ince 1SG5 to do what a party says; the result has been . a failure; he has made his Administration disgraceful trying to pander to party, the theory of which was radically wrong. Grant will lead the people above party, free from the obligations that bind time serving politi cians. He will, if eleeted, d.o what he believes to be right. If we cau trust his wisdom and his patriotism, we should sup. port? him : with out regard the crowd following him, for the crowd courts his favor, not he the favor ot the crowd. VETERAN. Oct 10.1867.
