THE PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIO ELEC TIONS. Front the X. Y. Worlil. The elections for State officers ia Pennsyl vania and Ohio will take place on Tuesday, October 12. Although special interest at taches to the results, since in each case a Governor is to be chosen, in neither State hi the campaign been prosecuted with much outward nhow of vigor. The grand rallying of the two political parties, accompanied with stirring mimic, gorgeously bedecked banners, and speeches of political champions, kooiu to have been discarded as if by agreement be tween the parties concerned. This stato of affairs we attribute rather to tho natural re liction from the strain of tho excited Presi dential campaign of last year than to tho lack of interest on the part of the friends of tho candidates before tho people. It appears to bo generally conceded that Asa Packer, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, will be elected over his competitor, John W. Geary. The latter, it is true, has the advautago of holding that oilieo now and of exerting for his own in terest such influence as inheres in it; but his administration has been inefficient, and ho has ninde himself unpopular with a portion of his party. The radicals are divided in counsel, and Governor Geary, by essaying to secure tho friendship of each faction, has incurred the distrust of nil. The vote will probably bo light ns compared with thot of last year, at which time the State polled a larger vote than ever before. Governor Geary was elected in WM by a majority of 17,17, in a total voto of ;7,:!7t. In lsr7, at an election for Jus tice of tho Supremo Court, tho total vote was fi34,57", and the majority for tho Democratic candidate !27. At tho election for Auditor-General, last October, the total vote reached the nnprecedentedly high figure of (i";J,ir. and the radical majority was h77. Three weeks later, at tho Presidential elec tion, there were polled (",M'2 votes, out of which Grant received a majority of 28,.s'Jf. It is obvious from these figures that to over come tho average radical majority of 13,701 at the last four elections will bo a most bril liant triumph for tho Democracy, second only to the wresting of New York State from radi cal rule in 1N'7, and again in lts. Asa Packer possesses ability, familiarity with the affairs of his State, integrity and popularity, and bids fair to win the day in the faco of the obstacle just mentioned. That ho will do this is the earnest hope of every Democrat in the land. The canvass in Ohio is, in some respects, peculiar. The Democrats, after going some what outside of their ranks to select General Rosecrans for their leader, upon his declina tion, for privato reasons, of the honor, called to the front their particular champion, George II. Pendleton. It is believed that he cau poll a larger voto in Ohio than any other Demo crat, both by reason of his personal popu larity and the prominent position ho has oc cupied in national politics since 1SC1. Un lortunately for kim and his supporters, he is prevented by the results of an accident from Ktumping the State. As a speaker, Mr. Pon illcton is effective and persuasive, aud loss likely to lose a friend than to win over an op ponent. Ho is, moreover, regarded as the originator and special advocate of paying tho national debt in greenbacks, and, inasmuch lis ho has revived this issuo juite recently, Lis election will be claimed as the indorse ment by his own State of his pet theory. That the radicals feel concerned as to the result of ilie election is evident from the fact that they bave flooded the State with speakers, among whom are some of their ablest men. In Gov ernor Hays, ptf set Mr. Pendleton has a weak opponent, the former being a very ordinary Bort of a man, and possessod of none of the qualities which win popularity. Two years ngo he was elected by tho meagre majority of !83, in a total vote of 484,227. Last fall, Bt the State election, 31!,7."0 votes were polled, of which tho radical candidate for Secretary of State obtained a ma ority of 17,372, and three weeks later Grant carried the State by 40,;i7 majority, the total vote of tho State being 5U,K2'J. Comparing the votes at these several elec tions, it is ascertained that the average radi cal majority was 20,324, which Mr. Pendle ton has to overcome to be the next Governor cf Ohio. The vote, we opine, will bo much lighter than either of those of last year, and tho Democrats of the Buckeye Stato express full confidence in the election of Mr. Pendle ton. Should their hopes be realized (as we trust they may), and should Asa Packer carry Pennsylvania, tho Democratic party, after tho election in New York State, in November, will start the new year with the control of the three largest States in the Union. WnY CINCINNATI LANGUISHES. From the X. Y. Times. Commander M. F. Maury has offered Borne explanations to the people of Cincinnati on this point. Ho recalls the early promise of the city, and contrasts it with its actual posi tion. Once' Cincinnati was the commercial focus of the Ohio valley. When the Erie Canal was opened an impetus was given to the construction of canals between the Ohio and the lakes. Theso canals gave Cincinnati B valuable trade with New York, and very Boon she acquired tho proud title of "Queen of the West," Immigration flowed more and more towards the West, and railways were constructed in very direction. Land near the lako borders Was brought under cultivation, and tho pro ' truce from it served to supply tho country bitherto fed from tho Erie Canal. Wagon find railway transportation sufficed to carry the grain to the districts which needed it. Cincinnati was "blocked out by water from the Atlantio seaboard," and the war crippled ber commerce with the South. Under these adverse inlluences she languished. Aud now, what can be done to revive her vanished glo ries ? On this point Commander Maury is fertile in suggestions. We may enumerate ibe most important of them. Cincinnati stands "at the gateway of the route which the competition of the Virginia water line will open between the West and the Atlantio seaboard." Complete that water line on a scale commensurate with its imnor- iuuiv. wmuiuiciiu mgnway , to tho ea would be secured. Tho Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad would supplement tho water line. With these two improvements, Cincin nati would "stand without a rival in the "West for direct trade through the Chesa peake bay, between the heart of the Missis sippi valley, and the whole of Western and Central Europe." Such is the programme for the future which Commodore Muury has tlrawn up. How does it please the people of Cincinnati ? Will they attempt to carry it out? If they get their direct communication with Europe, ijoods from Turis or London would be shipped straight to them, and tliy would avoid New Ycrk dues and commissions. It h dueling picture, and if our present me:hod of admin istering justice continue, it w.il .not bo dilfi cnlt to draw away any amount of business from this metropolis. Besides, new channels of traffic are always among the surost humus of recovering tho prosperity of n community. Whether the same amount of iir.-;nv would go further in the direction which tho Commo dore proposes than in any other, wo tiro not prepared to say. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. From the X. Y. TriKunr. The collision on fni Pennsylvania anl New York Railroad cm .Monday seems, jrimi ', to have bet n the result of ;ross mismanage ment. In couso luence of a fog the engineer of an express tivin was unable to seo a signal Hag scut out to warn him that (hero was an other train taki;-. in water on the track, and so there was a collision with the loss of two lives, aud serious injury to several passengers. Collisions at sea in a fog may sometimes bo unavoidable, but that tho safoty of railway trains should depend upon clear weather is monstrous. All danger from such causes as produced this li.te-.t accident might bo avoided by an adoption of tho "block system" which works so well on English railways, and an ex tensive use of ti-o telegraph for insuring a clear course. No interval of tiiw be it five minutes or ore hunr. affords a sufficient mar gin of safety in -huuting lucal or freight trains, which ate themselves liable to detention or accident, nut tit tho way of express trains, which may or may not bo Into. There seems to be a natural warfare between freight and passenger trains vhieh nothing but an inter val of space e.iH obviate. On sumo of tho lines of railway running out of Loudon, trains follow ono (mother in quick succession at hnlf-i.iile. not hvf-Uour, intervals, under tho block system, from year's end to year's end without the slightest accident. If an express train cannot pass beyond station No. 1 till tho telegraph reports that tho line is clear ns fai ns station No. 2, and if no locnl or freight train is allowed to movo from a siding, or cross from any junction, between th.so two stations till the tekgvaph reports that tho ox press train has left sUtion No. 2, it is patent that no accident can occur except from tho negligence of the olficials, or from unavoid able causes. The causes of preventable railway acci dents are so numerous aud so terrible in tlu-ir consequence, that travellers can only insure their live?, l.cavily, nud shut their eyes during the journey. Nervous people h.id far Letter remain at homo. Defective construc tion of tho truck, fidlnre to keep it in proper working order, v..nt of signals, neglect of signals, the overworking of signalmen, tho leaving of empty cars on the main track, inadequate siding accommodation, the care less way in which freight trains are .allowed to perform a kind of Scotch reel in and out among express trains travelling at tho rato of thirty miles an hour, and above all tho neglect of tho block system, aro elements of danger enough to warrant the life insurance offices in refusing policies to habitual railway travellers. If foy is now to be added to the other perils of the way, we may ns well resign ourselves to wholesale destruction. THE CUBAN QUESTION BECOMING SE1U0US. Prom the X. Y, Ihvahl. By telegraph from Washington, and through the Atlantic cable from Europe, comos to us intelligence of very serious import if it can be received as true in fact relativo to the Cuban question, the course of our diplomacy in Madrid, and its consequences as regards the present position of our Minister, General Sickles, before the Spaniards and in tho eyes of the peoplo of Europe and tho Ameri can nation, by reason of the allegod action of the Cabinet in Washington. It was posi tively asserted iiUhe national capital recently that the administration had made a "clean back down" from the tenor and tone of the Sickles notes, and that this movement, or Government retrocession, was undertaken in the face or the f;ar, if it must bo so said, of a war with Spain. It is reported that the Government thinks that Minister Sickles ex ceeded his inst ructions on some points; but the main allegation is to the effeut that the Cabinet of tho L'nited States has becomo alarmed at tho violently belligerent tono of the Spaniards, has repudiated General Sickles' action, and is prepared to censure him. We can scarcely credit these reports, notwith standing the fact that they are worded in the very positive language which wo submit to our readers. Coincident with tho statements from Wash ington we have our cablo telegrams of Tues day from Europe showing that the Paris cor respondent of a leading journal undertakes to advise, in truo John Bull style, tho United States Senate not to confirm General Sickles' appointment to Madrid, covering his inso lence under tho assumed conviction that the Minister does not possess sufficient experi ence for the management of such an interna tional negoti ttory crisis, and by advising Spain to hold on to the island. A London newspaper organ of the old Tory party of England is more cautious in its editorial expression, but still gives a collateral political support to the Spanish executive. Contemporaneous with all we know of the facts of the Prim tactics at St. Cloud, aud the arrival of Lord Clarendon m Paris, we hear that Friuce Metternich, of Austria, has reached tho French capital. This looks like a European coalition, pointing eastward or to the west, as the case may bo; but ma matter for that, the people oi tne united btates know that Sickles has done his part, and the ctuestion now is. will he be supported, or will we "back down?" FATHER HYACINTTIE S REVOLT. KVvm. the K. V. TiiHM. Tho revolt of Father llyncinthe against the authority of tho Papal hierarchy, ot which the cable brings us lntwhgeuce, is an event which will produce a profound sensation throughout tho Church. Ho is the most eloquent preacher of tho Latin Chusch heard in France since tne cleat n oi jjacoruairo, His coiftr(i;s at Notre Dame were fre quented by all that was most distinguished in Paris, and a larger audience than his voice could reach would be gathered an hour before he was to commence, though his style ot etis- course a-as rather more metaphysical than is common with speakers so renowned tor elo quence. His defection from tho Churcn will be classed, as to the gravity of its conse quences, with that of Benan and of Laniou nais. We trust it may not be that, liko thorn, ho has exchanged too muoh faith for too little. Father Hyacinthe is still in tho prime of life and in the perfection of his faculties. The necessity of defending his course will doubtless render his name more familiar to the world than it would have been had ho pursued the even tenor of his nrientlv wavs. The step which Father Hyacinthe has taken iu asserting uie right of private judgment in mullein oi religion, invites a comparison wiui vuo ivuownea author of "Telemachus, whom he resembled in many rspets. Like Fenelon, he was noted for Lis devoted piety, for Lis captivating eloquence, and for his in sensibility to the blandishments or tho ter rors of authority. Liko Fenelon, too, his opinions have encountered the censures of the Vatican. Hero the resemblance appoars to end. Fenelon repudiated tho book and tho opinions which had provoked his censure. Father Hyacinths forsakes the Church rather than forsake his convictions. It romaim to be seen whether it was tho difference in the temperament of Uipho two men, or of the epochs in which they lived, to which their diversity of action under corresponding exi gencies is to be attributed. GIVE US ADMIRAL IIOFF'S KEFOilT. Front theX. Y. Suit. It was Admiral Huffs misfortune to bo suf fering from ill-health at tho time a vigorous constitution was required to grnpplo with tho exigencies of Cuban nll'airs; bt this is no reason why ho should bo snubbed by our now Ancient Mariner Koboson. If ho 'has failed to perform his duty, let him be called to ac count by a court; but until ho is proven to hnyo acted in a manner unbecoming his po sition and his instructions, ho is entitled to be treated with as much respect by llorio II ns Admiral Porter himself. If, as 'is alleged, Bobeson puts on airs with officers whom' he regards as played out, this gross breach of courtesy and dignity will recoil upon himself, and will not injure Admiral HoIV. Tho secrecy, however, which tho Govern ment observes in regard to tho report of tho late commander of our Cuban squadron ex cites suspicions which tho administration should nt once dispel, both in justice to that distinguished naval officer, anil in order to tranquillize tho public mind. Secret iveness suits the atmosphere of a despotic court much better than that of a republic. When the question is to ascertain tho circumstances under which American citizens have lost, their lives, it is a matter of public concern, and tho country is entitled to k now' tho truth, tho whole truth, and nothing but tho truth. Is Mr. Fish afraid that tho exposure of these circumstances may excite public fooling, and force him to relapse for once from masterly inactivity to masterly activity ? Or doos ho believe that the Stato Department is an irre sponsible and closo corporation, which can be permitted to act autocratically? Lotus have Admiral Holt's report, nnd let tho Ame rican people pronounce upon its merits or demerits. Wo want none of your secrecy, Mr. Fish, when Spanish slavedrivers cut our citizens' throats! TEUIMltl.E A1TJUY. A Fntnl I'licoiiulrr In Meill'oiil, Virginia. On Sunday last, during tho service at Lcft w tch's Meeting House, in tho southeastern part of this county, a terrible affray occurred, which has resulted, we fear, In the death of an esti mable citizen. We arc unable to report fully all tho facts connected with this melancholy occurrence, but wo believe the following to bo substantially correct: A child, silling n ono of the benches under an arbor, threw a peach stone which struck a young man, who instantly re sented it by throwing a rock at tho child, w hich hurt him severely. The father of the child wit nessed the transaction from a window iu the church, aud immediately came out and struck tho young man who had thrown tho stone. This brought on a fight between the father aud brother of the two parties. They retired to a spot a short distance from the church, aud fought with knives and e tones until Mr. Johu E. Witt was struck upon the temple by a stone, fracturing his skull, and, in all probability, fatally wound ing him. At first it was thought that he was dead, but yesterday ho was still breathing, although iu a perfectly unconscious condition.' A j-ouiiir man, whose name we have not learned, was also badly if not dangerously wounded with a knife. We are pained to record that so brutal and horrible an affair could have occurred in Bedford county. We forbear further comment- till all the facts arc fully ascertained. JJeJord (Vn.) klnlinel GENERALITIES. Iliw to Hit 'Km. If the Cubtiu iron-daci which was roportcd oft' Martha's Vineyard ever reaches Cuban waters, we may expect something quite as lively as that which occurred in Hampton Koads, when tho Kcliel ram astonished our "wooden walls" with Bitch a punch in the ribs that it not only took their brcatn awav, but never pernuttcu id to oc restored. Hitting between wind and water is a sort of warfare which at this juncture would bo of more service to Cuba than a dozen victories on land. A Minister In Dllllciilty. Crave chnrtrcs have recently been mado by one of his parishioners against tho Kev. llusha, Weaver, pastor oi the A mean -U. is. Church, in Catharine street, Newark. Tho complainant ia one Rachel Jennings, n widow twenty-five years of age, who, with her five children, resides in I acilic street. According to her statement before Justice Pier.-wn, it appears that after class meeting on the night of July 2(5, tho clergyman escorted Iter home, and that on his way ho took serious liberties with her. She delayed making the matter known until a few days ago, and a waifcaut was issued for tho accused's arrest, which was executed Saturday afternoon last, lie wns taken, before Judge Hepue, who bailed him in SUM). The Only Survivor. The Capo Ann Advertiser furnishes tho par ticulars of tho wreck of tho schooner Helen Elia, of Ilockport, and the escape of Charles Jordan, the only survivor of a crew of twelve men. The schooner was off Portland liuht when the fury of the gale of the 8th burst upon her. Captain Millet tried to run for Portland, but was too far East, and the schooner struck on tho rocks oft Peak's Island. Her bow was knocked in, nnd five men killed at once, and the captain was killed at the helm. The survivors caught at bits of the wreck und swam for" the island. Jordan was fortunate enough to get hold of an empty barrel, on which, after a terrible struggle, he finally reached a ledge, and made his way in tho dark to a fisherman's hut, where he was kindly cared for. Mr. Jordan 6ceius to carry a charmed lilo. Once before ho has been ship wrecked, and out of thirty men, alone escaped; nnd of eiuhty persons confined with him iu tho Libby Prison he alone survived. A New TriM'd. A paper in Berlin mentions two torpedos in vented by Captain lupis, of tho Austrian army. Spcakjng of the more important one, it says: 1 his torpedo is made of wrought iron, aud has tho form of a dolphin. One vertical and two horizontal projections, somewhat resembling 11ns, prevent it from rolling over, and preserve it in a state of equilibrium. The head ot this iron lish contains tho bursting charge, which consists in the smaller pattern of forty pounds, and in tho larger one of sixty pounds, of com pressed gun-cotton. A large number ot small, movable iron plugs or bolts project lroin all sides of tho head, and as soon as ono of them comes into collision with tho enemy's vessel it is driven in upon tho ignition composition and fiifs the charge. Tho motion is produced by a screw propeller at tho tail of tho fish, and m driven bv means of compressed air, working at lirst starting with a power of from thirty to t hkty-five atmospheres.
