Peace to his memory. Unralilliig. Several bills have been introduced in the Legislature intended to sii prcss gambling and prevent its recur rence in tlie State. Gambling is ac knowledged to lie an evil of the gravest diameter, and too much care cannot lie shown by our law-makers in kt fecting a bill or bills for it suppres sion and interdiction. Tlie livllnlin in alluding to tills subject says that "at almost every session of every Legisla- tore throughout the Union, acts of j , , t . this character (anti-gambling bills) are passed, and hi nearly every Instance some fatal delect is afterwards discov ered which renders tliem inoperative or void." And the IMIettn argue from this the Importance of perfecting of the Emperor at Berlin is now re one good bill on this subject, rather j garded as intended to quiet the unrest than to consume time on a half dozen others. This point should have weight with our Legislators. Or Nome Service. Ill one thing, at least, has Horace Greeley lieen of service to the coun try. He has giver, to the jieople a practical illustration of how a man look, acts, and seaks, when entirely diseased with the Presldental fever. He htisadvocated both shies of various questions in Ills time, and in his recent s iei , h-niakhig this unstable propensity h i- been very apparent. His aim has I n to suit tlie locality : audtthis lias I' d hi m to deny hi one place what he ha- advocated In another. "Amnesty" is the paramount question at one time, finance" at another. "lal)or" some where else. nd so on ml Infinitum. NntnwUy the old man has no check- i j relu of prudence or policy to curb his ' vasclllating propensity ; and just now tin- restraining Influence of whatever little principle he may liaye had. Is entirely overcome by the awful desire he has of becoming President. NlrnluliiK to Appear "herrnil. Democrats are striving their utmost to preserve a calm serenity of deport ment, and even attempting to appear hopeful, under the defeat they luive sustained. One journal in reviewing" 1 publican In the country Who will vote ' for the Liberal candidate in Novem- : her. Of course, those "thousands" are all to be found in the imagination of such editors. Indiana lias elected Hendricks Governor by a very small j vote, but in all else, we believe, on the State ticket, has gone Republican. In I the Presidential election, no popular local candidate will belli the field, and ; the popular national candidate, IT. 8. Grant, will receive a handsome major ity in thai State. In Ohio the Cincin nati district will have no local o(ids ! to divide the Republican vote, as in ! tlie recent State election, and all will concentrate beautifully In swelling to large probations the majority in the State for the Republican nominees. To preserve a spirit of clieerfnl serenity amidst disappointments and dcleats. , present, and to anticipate their sure recurrence in the future, with the same i spirit. i a wholesome doctrine, which i we arc glad to see our Democratic eo- Nlntr Home. The bill appropriating $100,000 tor the building of a State capitol edifice, at Snlcm, has passed both branches of the Legislature, lias been signed by the Governor, and is therefore a law. We suppose this measure will meet and rents of halls for Slate purjioses, would soon aggregate a sum sufficient to build a State House, so that the bill as now passed for this purpose is valu able to the State as a matter of econ omy. As to the place; designated, it is as good as could lie selected, and no one who rightly appreciates the needs of the State in this direction, can charge the Legislature with extrava gance in the amount appropriated. The Kpiimoh. Why Ohio has not gone more large ly Republican, may he traceable to a local feud hi the Cincinnati district. This district influences largely the re sult hi (lie State, and the Republicans have always depended upon It.

Tlie meeting among the masses. This leaven of discontent now working in the heart ot the people of Kurope cannot lie destroyed by mock shows of Royalty. It Is the result of the grow th of irre pressible ideas of freedom, which will not down at the bidding ot op pression. A crisis may lie postponed, hut sooner or later it will come about, and hi blood strive for tlie mastery. There are good reasons fta- believing j that Grant and Wilson will carry the j city of New York by a handsome uia j jority. In addition to the fact that the ! Republicans are united.' active and 1 zealous, it is also conceded that there are a large number ot Grant Clubs in i the city, composed entirely of iJemo jerats. Intelligent memltfrs of the i partv were never more, sanguine of success there tlmn now, and tlie oppo- sition was never more desponding. As goes Pennsylvania, so goes the Union, Iws become a political axiom. Dublin, Ireland, now ha an Ameri can newspaper. RANTERS SEWN. In Louisville. Oct. 9, Dr. W. J.
