The Democratic County Commitleo are very mysterions in their discussions of tho approaching county election,—so mystarious, in fact, thnt they excludo the nowspaper re- portora from their doliborations, which might more properly be called scrimmnges.

Thero is a hope, novertheloss, Eenient of Linpards, 't 3 D that the latter purpose may be made to de- feat tho former. The Intontion of the Democrats fo postpona their Convention till aftor tho nction of the Republiean Conven- tion ariges from n desiro to take advaninge of any mistakes which the Republicnns may make, and, by strongthening their own ticket in places whero tho Rapublican tickot may bo wesk, to enrry through n demd fond liko Lien. The Demvcrats count with particalar omphasia upon the hope that thoe Republicans will nominate an objectionable candidate for County Trensurer, and that this will enuse a virtual bolt in the party. As tha County Tressuror hends tho ticket, and {8 rogorded ns the most important office 1o be filled, they think that, thus weighted down, the Ropublicans can be beaten, no matter how wonk & ticket the Democrata may nominate, solong s thoy put forward thelr strongest man for County Treasurer, This is the Demoeratic programmo. Thoro i just ono way in which tho Ropub- licans con defent the oxpeoted advaninge of the Demoerata in postponing their Conven- tion, It is by nominaling an upexception- ablo ticket throughout, from the Coun- ty Tronsurer to the end,—a ticket thot shall not mercly command the united votes of the Republicans, but also thoss of overy respectable and taxpaying citizon wherover thero i nn objoctionable candidate on the other slde. The only way toinsurethia action is for the responsible men of the Topublican party to put in such an appear- anco ot tho primaries as will brenk down avery candidato who bLsa been at work for his own porsounl preforment, without regard to tho interosts of tho party or the public welfaro. A convention mado up of good oltizans who sre unpledged to the foriunes of any individoal oflice-socker, or any com- ‘Lination of office-seekers, will be protty sure to nominato a strong ticket, whiloa conven- tlon mado up of ecliques in the interosta of certain candidates will trode nnd bartor till fho ticket shall ‘o londed down with their pots. Upon the chamcter of the Ropublican ticket will de- pend a groat deal tho chornater of the Domo- cratio ticket. If the Republicans bring for- ward ono or two mon for tho leading places who shall weaken tho whole ticket, the Lren faction of tho local Democtio party will provail in the Conventlon ; but if the Ropab- licans presont auch a formidablo ticket s to warn the Domocrats that defoat will cortainly awalt them with a wenk ticket, the responsl- ble men in the Demoocratic party will exert themsolves to rout the bummor cloment | or, it they do not and the bummer clement among tho Demoorats pravail novortheless, then Republican victory will be assured. In this way can the apparent advantage of the Democratic bummors in olding their Con- vontion after tho Republican Convention ba turned to their disadvantago ; and tho public intercst will bo tho galner by tho arrange- went. of thought drifted in the proceodings was not woman.suffrage, but, far moro scnsibly, drunkenness in mon,—coriainly the most gigantio ovil which has afflicted the female portion of the people during the present centnry, The plan of auppreesing this ovil genernlly recommended wns, however, as chimerienl a8 usual, innsmuch 08 tho mom- bers * pointed with pride " to what is known ns tho ‘‘crnsnde” (rendered so odious throngh tho fostering attention of tho gynarch Dio Lewss and the blubbering Van Peur in Obilo) ns o menns of rnising mon abovo tho possibility of squandering their enrnings and beating their wives and bables. to reconcile the conflicting sentiments of all tho parties, nnd do awny with the ovil effocts of Suervax's speech, As if the internal complications of the Ropublicans wore not sufficient, the Tomperanco party pit forth ita candidates on o prohib- itory liquor law platform, Then the Work- ingmen, disgusted < and dissatisfled with Judge West's porformances, organized two parties, both wings of which favored silver remontization and opposed resumption, and ono of which afiiliated with the Groenback- ers, Al thoso made war mpon the Ropub- lican ticket, Tho fnction of Implacables, —like tho faction of Bulldozers, nt the South,—who were opposed to tho Presi. dont's Bonthern polioy snd in favor of carry- ing on tho War, refused to volo, thinking theroly to robuke tho President. In this they woro jolned by tho opponents of Civil- Sorvico roform, who refused to tako part in an election in which there were mo spoils; thoy had no interest in brenking wp the spoils system, 8o they lot the election go by default. The Domocrats, on the other hand, wero comporatively united. They had overs- thing to gain and nothing to lose by the election, Thoy wero bold and oulgpoken in favor of tho remonetization of siver, and in opposition to resumption in 1879, and to any contmetion of the carrcucy. . They were not embarrassed Ly the fil-timed interfer- ence of any Beorotary of the Treasury, or by tho wild theorios of competing aspirants for the Sonnate, - They voted uultedly, and, thongh tholrvote is rednced in tho aggrogate, they polled a much larger vote proportion- ately than the divided Ropublicans, The wonder is not 8o much that they carried tho Stato ns that, under tho ciroumstances, thoy id not carry it by a much larger majority. The Republicans in Ohio were distressed, divided, nnd eventually defeated by the com- plications, bad managoment, and jealousios of leaders and fnotions; but the greatestof all their misfortunes, and tho ono to which thoy can more dircotly traco their dofent than to any othgr, was tho spoech of Jonx Buen- AN, in which ho ignored silver remonotiza- tion, and declared that the Resumption act was to atand unrepoaled, and put in opora- tion strictly, whatover the consequences, on the 1st of Jonuary, 1870, From tho offects of tunt spoech there waa no recovery, It was an attempt to bulldoze the peoplo of Olio into an indorsement of that law. A Clnainnati paper, bofore the cleotion, thus de- scribed tho situation as it undoubtodly ap- peared to men of all parties in Olfo: A Ropublican victory will be assnmed by Jomn Buxn)AX to mean that he ls to keop on contracting Jepal-tender issues, sell gold to hoard grecnbacks, forca decreciated allvor as o modlum of exchange, nd paralyze the business intercsts of the country, ta reach a reaunlt unnatural in the meane employed, 10 secure an end antagonistic to the wants of trade, t n accord with wlso atatcemanship, and highly dangerous to every channcl of industry. Such a victory will moan 8 continuation of the pollcy to enrich the bondholder, unsettlo values, and bank- rupt the country, 1 have tho best assurances for the statement thst, If Oblo goes Nepublican, the schome for Nations] Banks toald Susnyax o ro- sume will be carried ont; and, come weal or wae, the dangerous clemeont of yesumption on Jan. 1, 1870, will be attempted. Meauwhile, the influ- ence of tho Administration will be exerted to se~ cura that end. 11, on the other hand, the Democ- racy shonld be triumphant, Haves wilt coll a balt on his bloodless Becretiy, 1lo will accept such an expression of tho popular will to mean that re- sumption cennot bo had without business meeting 1t hand lu hand; that to attempt to resnme under n dopression of valacs and an unseitled condition of business wiil bo a biow to tho vitality of tho country, which ho does not care to attach to bis Adminlstration.

Thoto is nothing in the war-cry on the Amer- jean side, Nobody echoes it oxcopt tho border editors who have marked out lots ncross the river, the domagogues who wish to ride into popular favor by ndvocating frosh bountics, the stock-jobbers who wonld like to seo *things booming," and the Toxas-Pacifie poople who are anxious to ¢¢opon up tho resources of tho country.” END OF THE INDIAN WAR. After two hundred and fifty-sovon yenrs of incessant warforo with the Indians in every part of tho United Btates, commenced by that gnllant and godly old Indian fighter, Mrxa Branpisn, and conclfided by another Murs, oqually gallant and for aught we know equally godly, tho end of Indian wars geoms to ba nt hnand. Unless every sign 1nlls, the limits of Indinn wars on this con~ tinent by the peoplo of the United Btates will bo 1620 on the one hand and 1877 on tho other. During tho past two yoars, the most formidable confliots hinve been with tha Sioux uader Srrriva Bust and the Nez Perces under Chief Joserm. Aftor tho mad- gacto of Qusten's commsend, in June, 1870, and Rexno's defenso of himeself, tho Bioux wero followed np and punished 8o severoly that Sirriva Bury, with a portion of his command, finally fled over the border into Canada for protection, where ho Las already succoedad so well in provoking the Canadi- gna that thoy are ready to give him up, The rest of his warriors have already boen cor- raled, Lz Dexn baving surrendored onrly in Beptember with tho last of the flock, thus entirely clearing tho Black Iills and Big Horn country of nll the hostilo Bioux. The next tribe to engsge tho nttention of the military nuthoritics was the Noz Perces, who enrly in tho summer, under their Chiof Joseent, commenced an {ndiscriminato mas. sacro of white scitlers in Oregon. Their raids pssumod at last such a desperate, and ot tho samo timo such a successtul, character that Gen, Howanp at onca commenced oper- otlons so ns not only to protect the whites but to provent other hostile Indinns from joining thom. o first serlous encounter with them was tho atinck mado by Gon, Grmzox, ot Big Hole, which resulted so dis- aatrously to the Iattor's command, Twenty- nine officors and privates were killed and forty wounded, Tho Indians cscapod and made their way north, Thoroughly organ- izod pursuit was made to prevent their ronohing the British Pogecsslons, which was ovidently thoir destination, Four columns, under Gen. Howasp, Col, Srunces, Gen. Mznnrrr, and Gen. Mmus, closely followed them. On the 28th° of Auguat Gen. Howanp came up with thom, but thoy ecscaped him. Meanwhile, thoy had fianked Brunoes, but he followed them so alosoly that ho caught up with them on the Yellowstone, aud on tho 14th ult. had a dos- yperiite’ fight with thom on Canon Creck, in which ho punished them sovorely, captured a largo portion of their herds and stock, and drove thom sovera! wiles. Thoy succceded, Lowaever, in cscaping Brumaes, aud kept an tholr northerly course until tho 30th ult,, when Gen, Mrurs surprised them coming out of tho Bear's Paw Mountains, in the ex- tremo northern part of Montana and noar the British frontler, A dosperats battle en- sucd, lasting all day, In which twonty.three of Gen, Mires' command wero killed and forty-four wounded, the Indians losing sov. enteon Lkilled, smong them five of thelr Obiefs. The battlo was kept up for five days, tho Indians fortifying their positions in deep ravines with well-coustructed rifle-pits and fighting with the courngo of des- peration, Gen, Mizs' commend not bolng strong emough to risk an open attack npon the Indian position, ho in. vestod {t with tho intention of walting until elther Howanp -or 87usozs sbould como uf, lis investment wns mado 80 close that it commanded . the - Indians’ supply of water. The Nez Porces wero bagged at last, and, asit was only & question of afow days at fartheat how soon thoy would bo attacked in thoir hole, Chlet Josesi came out ond sur- rondered to Gon. Mites. As Gen, Howinn Qid not come up until sfter the surreuder, snd Gen, Storazs lad no part in tho five days' fight, the glory of the captura belongs to Gon, Mmea, None tho less are all the troops engaged in the pursuit deserving of oredit. 'The chasehas been a long one, from Orogon to Montans, over trackloss wastes, across crecks and streams without nunber, over, mountains, and through ravines aud canons, Our troops bave suffercd sevorely, espocially the Seventh Cavalry, Custen's old regiment, which has lost ffteen of its com. miasioned officers, bul we may assame now that thers will be no further serious loss of life from Iodlan hostilitics With the corraling of the Bioux, the swrender of Brrrie Busiy, and the capture of Chief Joszen and his Noz Perces, the backbone o# the Indian war is broken, and there sre no moro hostiles on the war- path who cannot be easily handted. The future of the Iudian qmuon,:thmlm. now depends upon the civilizing, Dot the punish- ing, of the Indisn.

Two years later, in 1874, the Democrats swept the State, cleating BrLy over Wyrorr by 17,202 majority, 'The * mnchine " pol- iticiaus had complete control of tho Ropub- lican party at this election, and ran the cam= paign in the name of Gnaxr and the bayonet policy in the South. ,From the cffect of that disastrons campnign in Ohio the Republican party in tho State has never recovered.

Nover in tho history of pohtics has thore Leen such on extraordinary complication of parties, platforms, tickets, and discussions, nggravated by tho untimely effort of the Hecretary of the ‘Frensury to befog the cur- roncy question by explanations that - ex~ platned nothing. 131 there boany questions of a public char- notor on which the people of Ohlo ave united, _nd united withont roferonce to party lines, thoy aro (1) that silver shall be romonotizod § 4) that tho law fixing Jan. i, 1879, for resumption shall be ropealed; nnd (J) that there shall bo no contraction of the cur- rency—no withdrawal of thogrooubacks until n eubstitnte in coin can bo farnished, On these points there iy an universal sgreo ment among tho peopley of Ohlo, and it wonld noturally scem to bo an cnsy matter to frame o party plat- form that wonld embraco theso points, When the Republican Convention wot at Cluveland, Gen, Ganrizeo was intrusted with tho duty of preparing the platform. This gentlemen had voted to demouetizo silver, aud was a prospective caudldate for Senator. Ho waaufactured a resolution onthe silver ques- tion which, if it Lad any meaning, was that silver should bo remonetized, provided that thers was metal cuough put in tho dollar to muko it always equal to the valuo of gold, which value, ehanging overy day, wonld re- quire o chouge inthe welght of tho dollar every day, Then tho Convention put into the platform an oquivocal resolution about Couutnunizm, and Judge Wear made a speech to n Commmuist meeting which took the wholo country Ly sarptise, and which, from that doy down to tho night before tho clec- tlon, ho vaiuly tried to explain, apologize for, dofend, or elraot, Tho resolutions of tho Conventlon said nothing about xepesling the date for resump- tlon, The merchants of Cincinnati almost unanimously declared thelr conviction that the Resumption law was on injury to the business of the country, and demanded its ropeal. The Oincinnati Gazetto was strong. 1y committed to this policy, Becrotary Bues- Max, however, was not content with running Lis resumption polioy st Washington with judicial blindoess; ho advertised Lis visit largely, and yushed to Ohio to deliver a speecli on the fluances. And such & specch, to ba dolivered at such a time in.Ohiol From beginning to end it was a spoech de- claring that he was determined the Resump- tion law should be rigordusly executed ; that on the 1st of Jaunary, 1879, be wonld resume specie payments ot the Treasury; that he knew Le could do it, and that he would do it. The objections to wuch a policy bo did not oven stop to discuss; it wus enough, it seem- ed to hiiw, to snnounce that he favored that policy, that he wi confident of success, and that all other fersons were to accopt bis ‘wishes and his judgment as their own.

As thore ia no nocessity for nccepl- ing olther of those alternatives, it will al- ways be folly to force tho systom of co-odn- cation in tho more ndvanced stndies, To told back young men, and make them ac- commodate themselves to a certain discl- pling necessary for the heslth and well- being of the young women with whom they ars nssociated, will bo to afford them idle timo which is more than likely to be employed in the cultivation of violous habits. To overtax the young women (o keep pnco with tho young mon on their own plane, will be to incroate the number of ‘weak and ickly malds, wives, and mothers, This country s alrendy oredited with a Iarger proportion of such womon than any other country, and tho effect upon tue whole race sure to follow upon au increase of thelr number ia too grave to permit the encourngoment of auny system that will have gach o’ rosult.

Tho proper education of women should in- clude some special preparation for domestic 1ife, nud she needs to learn many things which will contribute to the comfort, beau- tics, and nttraction of home-lifo that men do not require to learn so thoroughly; so the eduention of tha mala youth, after a certain point has been passod, should be largely with referonco Lo his future condition ns the hoad of o family, with tho responsibility of ita sapport. Whera tho higher education of the girl is possible, it should include proper attontion to cookery, to houseliold adorn. ment, to tho cars of childron, to musio and tha nrte, which render howe and soclety ro- fined, Theso aro mattera whick can b profitaliy slighted in the higher education of tho malo youth for practical proparation in the professions, or otherwise for bottling with the outside world and providing a good support, not for himself alono but for wife and children.. Thpso considerations onter into the training of the groat majority of girla and boys, aud are the only generaliza- tions that safely guide tho preparation of the two goxes for honorable and usefal lives. 'T'ho tochnical study for any special calling in 1ifo, for which the individuolof eithor sex moy bo proparing, may ba treated ss nn ex- coption; to illustrate, tho same objections to co-education in n general way might not ap- ply with equal forco to medical achools, ‘where womon would be axcluded from all opportunities for such education, unless ad- mitted to study in the regular medical col- legos.
