Mrs. Spanier haw a daughter who works at the Eclipse woolen mills, on Garden street, between Green and Walnut to whom she carries' dinner every day. She baa also an invalid daughter, named Catherine, aged thirty-three years, whom -he leaves in toe house after locking the doors, while she goes with the dinner for the other daughter. Y. -terday site Went to the woolen-mill with her daughter's dinner n- usual, and, after returning home, she found the side door un locked, and. on entering, started into the front room. Catherine, who is so badly paralyzed on one side as to lie scarcely itme to walk without falling, and is also feeble-minded, said, when her mother entered: "That feller's in there." "What fellow!" asked Mrs. Spanier, some what alarmed. mm tut -j- "That big feller who comes to see SaTlie," responded the unfortunate girl, adding, "and he took some pictares." Mrs. Spanier then scolded her daughter for letting him into tie house, and passed into the room to sec what had happened!. She found that SOME I'HOTOCiKAPHS 11 AD UK K.N TAKE2T . from an album, and also that the front door was unlocked. Mrs. Spanier said nothing more t latuvrinc about it alter scolding tier, hut when hex other daughter returned home in the evening from work she told her that Joe Mannell had been there while she was away at noon and had taken some photo graphs from the album. Maunc'l bad been in the habit of calling on the younger dang bier, who works at the woolen-mill, up lo a mouth or two ago, when he was given to understand his visits were not agreeable. He had given her some photo graphs, and just before going to the house y.-terday stopped in John Spanier'.- grocery, at Fetter street and Baxter avenue, and stated that he was going to the house to get the pictures. John Spanier is a son of Mrs. Mary Spanier, and seeing that Mannell was drinking, be made no r espouse, and, iu fact, paid but little attention to what he said. When the younger daughter learned that Mannell had been in the bouse while her mother was away and her feeble-minded sis ter was alone, she PEAKED THAT A CRIME BAD BEKN COM MITTED, g i ,i . and, going to her sister Catherine, she ques tioned her closely aa to what he had done while there. Catherine replied ("hat he made her show him where the pictures were. Her sister con tinued to interrogate her, howerer, as to what he said to her and what he did while there, until Cetharine burst into tears and narrated how Mannell had forced her to guV- mit to his beastlv lust. Twice had he com milted the atrocious crime on the helpless woman and then walked deliberately out the front door. This was as the younger daughter had feared, and as soon as they recovered from the shock, John Spanier, the son and broth er, was sent for and informed of what had taken place. Knowing that Mannell was on a spree and carousing about the groceries, he determined to find him and TAKE THE LAW l li,- OWN HANK-, and administer condign punishment upon the brute. He visiter! the different localities which Mannell frequents, but was unable to find him. and during the bunt he thought the matter over calmly, and came to the con clusion that it would lie the best plan to se cure the arrest of Mannell and let the law lake it- course. He then started, in company with William BeageM, in search of Lieuten ant McGrath, and found him in the Ctav strect station, a few minutes before 11 o'clock last night. He stated the object of his mission, and naked thai an officer lie sent with him to scour that iK.rtion of the city between the New burg road and the creek, in which Man nell lived. Lieutenant McGrath accompanied him on the way and met lijjrer May, who was directed to join in the hunt. On reach ing Vine and Lamp ton streets loud and bois terous singing was beard in a grocery on one of the corners, kept by Valentine Humfich, and lleagell was sent ahead to ascertain IK MAXKCIX VA THE PARTY. He returned in a moment witfc the intelli gence that he was there, when-the officers went in and arrested him. He was very drunk, and when Lieutenant McGrath laid bis hand upon his arm he was raising anoth er glass of tieer to his Hps. After being removed from the grocery he was informed of the nature of the charge that had been made against him, but he merely replied that he didn't know anything als.ut it. He crmtinnerf to repeat this as 1,; walked along the street, interspersing his re marks with bits of maudlin melody. When asked by John Spanier what he did with the pictures be had taken from his mother's house, he repTlecTthit lie had not been to the house; but in the next breath said he had just gone to' the door and asked if Johnny was at home, and walked away. He afterward told the omcajafhsit as he left the house he jumped over the fence, instead of passing through the gate. When asked who he inquired of if Johnny was at home, he at tempted to stammer a reply, but failed. He was taken to the Clav itreetstatioTt and locked ui) on the charge of fape.

" When employed, he works at Long' chain-factory, and lives with his mother and a sister on Vine street, but a short distance from where he was arrested. The victim of his hellish designs is thirty-three years old, and HAS BEEN AN INVALID FROM INFANCV.

She was placed' in the Feeble-minded "institute, at Hopkinsvillc, several yean, ago, and remained their five years, but as brought home a few years ago. She notices anything that transpires about the b ouse, ami when questioned closely can tell what she sees, but when not questioned she has but little to say. Her brother thinks she will be able to testify intelligently before a jury, but her physical condition is such that it will be difficult to get her testimony before a jury. John Spanier, who gave the reporter the information, stated that lie would exhaust all his means to prosecnte the villian.

Chicago -V.- "The Fall Kiver (Massa setts) cotton mills have leen activelv at wfirk lor a year past; now a strike is threatenec because at a time when business is 'booming' everywhere else it is proposed to reduce the wages of operatives there, the excuse given is that the Massachusetts manufacturers can not compete with those of other States, nota bly those in the south, who, by working more hours, reduce the cost of production. The manufacturers put the blame of this condi tion of things upon the Massachusetts law limiting thenours of labor to ten jer day, prohibiting the employment of very young children and otherwise regulating the rela tions existing between employers and em ployes. But these laws are acknowledged by Sir. Edward Atherton and others, who speak for the manufacturing interests of Massa chusetts and New England generally, to be wise and wholesome. But has it come to such a pass as this, that Massachusetts, with her cheap cap ital, and her skill, industry and integrity in finance, cannot compete with the younger States in manufactures? AVrsy, these younger States of the went and. south would scarcely be asking too much, in fact, on the cii.rary, they would be simply and entirely logical, were they todemand protection for their 'in fant industries' against the products of a State which is nearly two centuries old, and which has had ample protection for both its infant and aged industries during nearly all that period. We see but two courses open for the protection oi the industries of 'Mas sachusetts iu this crisis either the general government must allow the State to pass a Irotective tariff for its own benefit, or it must comiel other .States to pass similar wise and wholeso'ue laws to tltase which now protect the women and tender children of Massachu setts from being worked beyond their strength. But what a commentary is this predicament of Massachusetts upon the en tire tariff system." New York Sun.; 3S.

WIDOW BRUCE'S Suit Against John It. Gibson. One of the Proprietors of the Gibson House, Cincinnati A Courtship of Four teen Years Comes to Naught The sums Which the Charming Relict Received at Different Times from Her Lover The Statements of Both Parties A Case of Very Decided Cross Purposes. JYWeioH World: "Mr. John B. Gibson, until recently the proprietor of the Gibson house, Cincinnati, and one of the best known citizens of the Paris of America, was in Ti tusville yesterday, with his attorney, taking a deiiosition in one of the most remarkable suits fox breach of promise that was ever known in the annals of the courts. The cast has shaken Cincinnati society for some months, and has a local interest here, owing to the fact that a prominent citizen of the oil region, now residing in Petrolia, is an im portant witness, and that the plaintiff, Mrs. Charlotte Bruce, was in the employ of our well-known merchant, Mr. W. H. Andrews, while he was in business in Cincinnati. Mr. Gibson, the defendant in the suit, and his at torney, Mr. McDougall, left on the 1 :30 train yesterday for Petrolia to take the deposition of the witness residing at that place. Their business in Titosrille was to lake the testi mony of an attache of tlie Petroleum World regarding an article concerning the - case which Cincinnati Kwptirtr The testimony was Grumbine, as notarv appeared in the in November last, taken before Mr. public. Mrs. Bruce, the plaintill, was represented by Mr. t. V. Iirooks of the law firm of Lincoln & Smith, Cincinnati. There are some features of ex traordinary interest in tlie case, and if the entire story could be written it would read more like one of Dumas's novels than an in cident in everyday life. Mr. Gibson is a gen tleman of large means, and his nrominence in business and society adds to the interest of the story. A few of the leading features might be briefly noted, the case has occa sinned three or four triiw to Europe, two by Mr. Gibson and cither one or two by the plaintiff. Mrs. Bruce sues for $50,000, and her petition to the court includes a cause of action to recover upon notes, also to the amount of S50,000, alleged to have been given in settlement of the breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Gibson stated to a World representative that he at one time gave Mrs. Bruce his note for $50,000 in consideration that she should return to htm his letters writ ten to her during their courtship. This was in New York. After getting the notes Mrs. Bruce did not give up the letters, and they were afterwards given to the newspapers bv Mr. 1. I. Lincoln. .Mrs. tiruce s attorney The chief characteristic of these letters, as they appeared in print, was their poor or thography. Mr. Gibson savg this was twisted and contorted by some one after they left his hands. He was in Europe at the time of their publication. Mrs. Bruce is now living elegantly upon the interest of the money and securities Mr. Gibson gave her at different times. He stated yesterday that he gave her at one time $25,000 in Cincinnati Southern railroad bonds, which, to lessen her taxes, she has converted into four-per-centa. In addition to this, he gave her notes at dif ferent times, one note being for $10,000, anil ne for $15,000. We believe the $15,000 note was given in lieu of the one for $10,000. These notee appear to have lieen given in order that Mrs. Bruce would be provided for in the case of Mr. Gibson's death. Among the 'lover's trinkets' given to the plaintiff by the defendant was a pair of dia mond earrings, worth $-1400. In addi tion to these and a score of other giftSj Mr. Gitaou gave Mrs. Bruce's .-oii-in-law. a man named Beale, $15,000, and lost it all, except a title he holds to a piece of swamp land in Indiana, worth, perhaps $150. The son-in-law was supposed to have invested the money in business with the firm of Norris it Co., iu Cincinnati. He wassome nn.nths afterward ousted from the firm, they claiming that they were large losers by him. Mrs. Brnce represents that she was engaged to Mr. Gibson for fourteen years. During a few years of this time she claims to have had a personal income of fifty dollars a day, and that about all the money she made she .(. posited with Mr. Gibson. She adds, fur ther, that she had at one time $50,000 in his bands, and accepted his notes for that amount. Much of this money, she say"s, was made bv her during the war. On the other hand. Mr. Gibson savs he never had $3000 of her funds, and tiie first money he had to in vest for her was a year or more after tlie close of the war. It was but a drop in the ocean compared to the sums he had given her without expecting its return. Mr. libson stated to the representative of the Petroleum World yesterday that he met Mrs. Bruce once in .New York at the residence of Mr. W. B. Andrews, publisher of Andreio? yueen. Ae wanted to negotiate for the re turn of'his letters. She demanded a large sum of money. He offered her several thou sand dollars. Mrs. Bruce said: 'I want half your fortune. If you ever marry any other woman I want to lie able to support myself as handsomely as you will support your wife.' In addition to this, Mr. Gibson says she threat ened to kill any other woman that he would marry. They finally compromised on $50, 000 for the return of the letters, but it ap- t tears that Mrs. Bruce retained them until icr attorney had them published. The de fendant in this case is a remarkable woman. She was born in England of humble parent age. Her excellent taste in the matter of dress was her lortune. She commanded large salaries from the leading dry goods estab lishments in Cincinnati for cutting and fitting ladies' dresses, and suggesting to cus tomers the kind of goods and style of cos tume that would iiest become them. She would study a lady's figure and complexion for a moment and tell her exactly what she ought to wear and how it should be made. Her customers were the wealthiest ladies of Cincinnati and Louisville. Mr. W. II. An drews, when in busiuess in Cincinnati, paid her $2500 a year. The Petrolia witness, who Ifnew Mrs. Bruce some years ago, is expected to testify to some very damaging things re garding her character." Trouble Between a Catholic Priest and Ills lirish.ini ei-,.

He de clared that he would enforce the payment of his salary bv the extreme measure of refusing to receive the members of his church at the confessional, adding that he would hence forth adopt the course pursued by the north ern Catholic Churches whose parishioners failed to support their pastor.

A Variety Artresa an Nara Bernhardt. Hare is n criticism of Bernhardt by Alice Harrison, the burlesque actress: "I think the American public will be disappointed. They will go once to see her and that is all. I paid ten dollars for a seat up in the fourth tier of the Gaiety theater, London, to see the be6t advertised actress in the world. T call her unevenly great ; that is my opinion of her as an artist. She is the female Bamum of the chty. Why, she even advertises her thinness. I have seeu plenty of actresses who were far thinner than she. Hut she uses everything as an advertising dodge. She descends to little tricks, too, which I think are out of place in a legitimate actrsss, and are only becoming in a soubrette like myself. She wears thin, long muscatelle gloves, and toys with them, pulling them up and down, she bangs her hair, and her frizzes reach to her eyebrows, and she does these Uttle tricks," and Miss Harrison illustrated the feminine habit of smoothing the bang down over the forehead. .Now, these tricas arc not worthy a great ac tress; that is soubrette's business. She has very high cheek bones, and her face is not re markable. Her eyes are flashing and pene trating. But their expression is peculiar. They remind me of a whipped hound." THE OREGON PACIFIC. Another Transcontinental Railroad Details or a Sreat Scheme East ern Capital to the Rescue. According to an article in the New York Times the recently-formed Oregon Pacific railroad company, which is composed of east ern capitalists, appears to contemplate no less important a scheme than the construction of a new transcontinental route. . Not long ago the Oregon Pacific company absorbed the Willamette Valley and Coast railroad com pany, obtaining all the valuable land grants and tax immunities ot tre latter, together with the unequaled harborof Yaquina bay. The Willamette company was organized for the ' purpose of breaking up the monopoly of the j a Ti-.i a vr : : : 1 wrcgou jvanway aim smaaas company, which long has controlled transportation in that State. The Willamette company pro pr.sed to construct a road across the entire c ctre of the State. When absorbed by the n. w company only ten miles of the Willa uiuttK load had lieen buih. At this time the new company haa. taken all the preliminary steps for the immediate construction of the. first 130 miles of the road. It is proposed to go to work at once and finish the line from Corrallis to Yaquina bay, adistance of sixty miles, and to construct seventy miles from Corvallls eastward, the entire 130 miles to lie equipped and in running order by Septem ber 1, 1881. A line of steamers will then be put on to run from Yaquina bay to San Francisco. Congress, at its last session, made an appropriation to deepen the enterance to this harbor, which is said to be of ample ex tent to afford shelter to the navies oi the world. The intension is to .carry the line eastward along the military road through the Sweet Home Valley and Mount Jefferson Pass, claimed to be tlie only accessible pass in the Cascade range. The eastern terminus is to be Boise City, in Idaho. A branch will run from a point near the intersection of the Crooked, Squaw and Des Chutes rivers, in a northeast erly direction to I'matilla, on the Columbia river, where connection will be made with the Oregon railway and navigation com pany's main line. Another branch will run from a point near Silver City southerly to Winnemucca, on the Central Pacific railroad. The length of the main line and branches will be about 600 miles. The early comple tion of the extensions of the Chicago, Bur lington and Quincy and Chicago' and North western lines to Boise City is also looked forward to, thus practically adding two more transcontinental routes to tlie transportation facilities of the continent. John Kelly's Early Lire. The Hour: "John Kelly, comptroller of the city of New York, leader of the Tammany Democracy, ex-alderman, ex-congressman. ex-sheriff, statesman, lecturer and orator, is emphatically a self-made man. He was born in the fourteenth ward ol this city, in Hester street, near Mott, where hia parents kept a small general store. His lather, Hugh Kelly, was a native of the county Tyrone, Ireland, and his mother, Sarah Donnelly, a native of Fermanagh. John, their eldest child, was educated at the parochial school it ached to St. Patrick's cathedral. He was studious and ambitious, and, feeling the de ficiency of the crowded parochial school, lie became a steady attendant at the evening schools which had been then lately stablished. While he was obtaining all the education these institutions could give him, he felt desirous of earning his own living and engaged himself as an office-boy in the New York Herald, then published iu the historical cellar in Ann street. His quickness and intelligence made him a favorite with the elder Mr. Bennett, who was beginning his prosperous career, and when his useful office-boy expressed a desire to learn a steady trade, he oflered him an increase of wages to remain in his situa tion. John Kellv s firmness of purpose man ifested itself in those early days of his life, and as soon as be had saved a little money ont of His scanty wages he carried out his determination and apprenticed himself to a grate setter and soapstone cutter. He leaned the trade qtiicklv. set up tn business for him self and was at once prosperous. Being a brightand fine-lookingyoung man,. full of hu mor ami courteous in his manners, he won many friends who were willing to lend him a helping hand. He was soon enabled to estab lish a factory on Elizabeth street, and opened an office in a wooden building on Broome street, next to Dr. Cohen's church, of which Dr. Maclay was then pastor. His business proved so successful that he was enabled to give his brother and tour sisters a better chance of obtaining a better education than he had himself enjoyed. They all grew up to feel and appreciate the advantage of his assistance; but only one sister, Mrs. Thomas, who resides near Mexico, in Onondaga county, is now living." Mary Anderson lines o1 Improve.

The critic of the Philadelphia Timet, speaking of the play and its rendi tion, says: "It has been quite a famous part in its day, and is one that is capable of lieing made effective even now; but Mr. Milnes Levick seems to have conceived of "Ingo mar" as a comedy part, and in this concep tion he was supported, if not actively encour aged, by Miss Mary Anderson in the charac ter of "Parthenia." The sounding platitudes and preposterous attitudinizing of the dramas of this school are apt to raise a smile nowa days under the best circumstances; but if the little drama of "Ingomar" and "Parthenia" is not the expression of that which is most noble, pure and dignified in the passions of the human heart, then it is -imply burle-jue. which does not call for serious consideration. While Miss Anderson's "Parthenia" is ex ceedingly pretty, it had not sufficient earnest ness to hold its own Tast night against the general tendency to laugh at the wrong place. Miss Anderson does not, indeed, any more than she did a few years ago, give tlie impression of a very earnest artist. She is, as has been said, unusually pretty, and her attitudes are unexceptionably graceful. She has gained somewhat in distinctness of utter ance, as well as in her command of stage business, and some of the minor details of her acting arc much more refined than here tofore. Otherwise she shows little change. Her work has the same unevenness that was at first attributed to her inexperience. Her elocution is still uncertain, and while she often gives flashes of real feeling, she as often disappoints where strong expression is expected, and she has still the beginner's tendency to tear passion to tatters, as though vehemence could supply intensity of feel ing." The Repnbllean Party's Sad 1'nsitlou. Springfield R'jmbliean (Rep.l: "We will say it over again the Republican party loses by every false issue raised to mislead the people. The first attack brought out the Sherman correspondence, which a good many Republican papers, the New York Tribune among them, have not dared to give to their readers. The next has brought nis letter on southern claims. A third might bring about a letter to the American people known as the inaugural. General Hancock's letter on the rebel claims is by all odds his sharpest and most striking utterance as yet, and one which will commend him greatly to the country."

Review of the Congressional Canvass In One of the Two tireat October States The Chances for Democratic Success in Districts that Were Made by A I! o publican Legislature for tlie Ex press Purpose of Securing a Majority of Tlicm for - the Republican Party A Closo Bace Seven Districts Doubtful. Columbus (O.) special to the Cincinnati Enq-tirer: During the last ten weeks I have been in nearly every congressional district in the State. Within ten days I have conversed with men of both parties from all sections of Ohio. The following speculations are based on information as reliable as can be had be fore the ballots are cast and the vote is counted. While 1 am a Democrat and anx ious for Democratic success, I do uot close my eyes to the weak spots in the Democratic line of battle. The present redisricting of the State, which is the old fraud of 1872, was re-enacted by a Republican legislature last winter. As originally passed, it was never intended that the Democrats should have more than four out of the twenty dis tricts. Once, in 1874, the Democrats elected thirteen out of the twenty, carry ing the two Cincinnati districts, the Lima, Toledo, Adams, Portsmouth, iJelawae, Mans field, Marietta, Newark, Dayton Jfutier ana Columbus districts. This year the Democrats will carry the first, fourth, fifth, seventh, twelfth, thirteenth and -fourteenth river dis t icts, surely. The IvcpubLcans will cer tainly carry the following districts, the eighth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth, six districts, leav ing the second, third, sixth, ninth, tenth, eleventh and fifteenth districts doubtful. It is of the doubtful districts, then, that I wish to write. But first let me comment ON TltF. DEMOCRATIC DISTKICTS. or, rather, the districts that I have claimed as Democratic. Republicans concede Sam Hunt's election in the first district I have lieen on 'change and among all classes of people in Cincinnati, and found Hunt is much stronger than his party. Many .Republicans openly express their determination to vote for him. The district is Democratic, and was lost to the Democrats two years ago by Milton tsav ler's neglect. When Ben Butterworth ran for congress Hunt ran for judge, and got 700 more votes in the district than tiutterworui did. THE FOURTH. The Republicans claim they will carry the Davton district. Thev have never been able to beat John McMahon under the most favor able circumstances. How can they hope to do it this year, when the Democrats were never more united or determined or better supplied with the sinews of war ? A thou sand to twelve hundred in Montgomery and fourteen to sixteen hundred in Darke will be more Democratic niajo-ities than the Repub licans can overcome in Green and I'reble Twenty-four hundred is a big allowance for these two counties, for these reasons! have put down McMahon's district in the Demo cratic column, In the fifth, Ben Ijc Fevrc's district, it is only a question of majority, and the northwest will join southern Ohio in roll ing up the largest Democratic majorities that have ever been given in Ohio. Leedoni in the seventh. Converse in the twelfth, Ather ton in the thirtee.ith and Geddes in the four teenth, will be elected by the largest Demo cratic majorities their districts have given. There is no dissatisfaction in any of them; no local fights on any of the candidates, such as there was against Cmverse two years ago. Pike county in tlie seventh, which was report ed in bad condition, is all right, and promises one of her old-time majorities. THE REPUBLICAN DISTRICTS. The eighth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eight eenth and nineteenth districts will give their old-time Republican majorities, but these will fall below the majorities given Governor Foster last year. The opposition of the Rose faction to Amos Townsend in the Cleveland district still continues. John A. Hutchins, the Democratic candidate, is hard at work and hopeful of election; but he will have performed a great service to his party if he cuts Townsend's majority down to 2000 or less. 1 think he will be able to do this. THE DOUBTFUL DISTIUCTS. General Banning is making a hard fight against Tom Young in the second, and the Republicans pay him the high compliment of considering the district in danger. The odds are against the Democrats, but, unless all polling reports are false, they will carry the district. Governor Foster says Durbin Ward will be beaten in the third district by from 500 to 800. (ieneral Ward says he will be elected. John Savage, a Democrat, carried the district in 1874. Fayette, 300; Clinton, 1400; War ren, 1400, are the Republican majorities. Butler will give not less than 2500 Democratic majority, and Clermont 800, leaving, the gen eral a majority of 200. The fight will be close, but the chances are in favor of the Democrats. Frank llnrd has the hardest fight in this district. It is the most doubtful ot the doubt ful. If the Grecnbackers go against him he is gone. Fulton will give 800 and Wood 000 against him. Williams will be a tie, although llurd has carried it. He counts on 1200 in Henry and 1200 in Ottawa, though 1100 is big for Ottawa. This estimate leaves him a margin of 1000 to enter Lucas with. Lucas county is the battle-ground, and Frank loses or wins there. lie is confident of his election, and the Re publicans are sure of his defeat. In the ninth Colonel Norris is making a good fight against Gcneral-Absent-Without-Leave Robinson, the Republican candidate. Foster had 700 majority here last year. Robinson will thank his God if he gets one-seventh of this! The temperance vote in the district, which is against Robinson, will probably elect Norris. Robinson will get 800 in Ken ton. 700 in I'nion, 200 in lelaware and 100 in Morrow. He may get 100 more in Union, and 100 less in Delaware and Morrow, where Norris was born and educated, and is a popu lar candidate foi these local reasons ! Norris counts on 1000 in Marion and 500 in Knox. He will probably get 100 less. The fight, it will lie seen, is close, with the odds in favor of Norris! The tenth district the Iferaucrats will lose, unless there is a Democratic avalanche in Ohio. Morgan Shaffer, the Democratic nom inee, is unpopular, and a weak candidate. His nomination was procured by question able means. He deserves defeat, that the lesson may be taught that offices are the gift of the people, and not for sale. Swing had 600 in the district last year. Rice, the Republican nominee, is a legatee of Charley Foster, has a barrel audi knows bow to spend it. He deserves defeat as well as Shaffer, but as both can't be beaten he will probably knock the persimmons on account of the poll. John Seitz, the' Greenback nominee, recently left the Democratic party and will draw some votes from Shaffer in Seneca. 1 know that many Democrats expect me to lie about the Republicans and forget to tell the truth about Democrats, and I have ren dered myself unpopular with a se lect class by telling the truth when a lie will answer much better, but I won't tell a lie about the tenth district. I don't believe the Democrats stand a ghost of a show for carry ing it. Huron county alone will give more majority against Rice than Sandusky, Han cock and Seneca will give for him, with Erie still to hear from Seneca 700, Hancock 400. Sandusky 450 for Shaffer, 1500 total. Huron has given 1700 Republican majority. She will certainly give not less than 1500 "against Shatter. Erie will give not less than 300 against him. Jutlgc Lang and the llemo cratic State ticket will be 1000 votes stronger in the tenth district than Shaffer. I hope my judgment is wrong as far as Shatter is concerned. In the eleventh district the - Republicans are in bad shajs?. John L. Vance carried this district in 1874. Ncal, the Republican candidate, is very unpopular. When he was renominated for a third term three counties bolted the convention. Wells A. Hutchins, tlie Democratic candidate, is a protective tariff man. He voted for the amendments while in congress, and Neal, while a member of the Ohio senate, offered a resolution de claring that the negro was not fitted for citi zenship, and ought to be colonized away from the whites. Hutchins has interests and clients all through the Hanging Rock iron region. Neal's majority by the opposition of Thomas Means. will lie less than 700 in Law rence. He will get 600 in Gallia and 200 in Jackson. Hutchins will get 900 or 1000 in Hocking with the aid of dissatisfied Repub licans. 500 in Vinton and 300 in Scioto. This is 1800 against 1500 for Neal. Hutchins thinks his nan majority in Scioto will reach 500. The Democrats are as sure to carry this Republican district as the Republicans are to carry the tenth. General Warner feels absolutely sure that he will be elected in the fifteenth. Meigs will give Dawes 1200, Athens 1000, Morgan 200. Monroe will give Warner 2500, and he claims that he will certainly carry Washing ton. Advices are that his election is reason ably assured. This makes nine districts sure for the Democrats, seven for the Republicans and leaves the Democrat- with an euual chance for the third, sixth ami ninth. They certainly will carry one of the three and probably two. COTTON ial.XS.
