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

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.
