SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THe HEAALO. Pautapevrnta, Oct, 8, 1867. ‘The democrats are wildly jubilant this evening at ‘the unexpected success of their day's labor. The streets, since the close of the polls, have been alive with epthu- siastic pedestrians, and the congratulations are of tho most joyous character, A procession numbering some five thousand mon was formed, which paraded through the streets, visiting the severai newspliper oflices and groaning the Nerth Ameri- eam and Mayor McMichael in the heartiest manner. The later, it is reported, has gone fishing—up Salt river. He was eagerly sought for by the disconsolate, but was neither at his official nor private ollice, ‘The Union League rooms and the offices of the various radical newspapers present a gloomy appearance, and anxivus inquirers are unable to find anything definite eoncerning this Watrrioo defeat, The popular salute on the street is, “Have you heard the news ?”” Companies of men are yelling that “This fe still a white man’s country ;” “Where’s your nigger _ equality 2” “", Leading republicans admit this evening that the negro equality question tn tis Sta’e is dead. They openly express regrets that it was allowed to enter into the campaign, and Stevens, Kelley ana other radicals are generally condemned for thir advanced ideas, ‘The democrats have won immense sums of money, as ‘the radicals, within two hours of the closing of the ‘polls, wagered odda on the result in the city. The radicals are as much surprised at the turn of events as the democrats. The very best paying offices Jn the city pass out of their hands, and with it the pres- tige that bas served in tho elections that have been held in the years following the rebellion. ‘The successful candidates were serenaded this even- ing. They acknowled.ed the compliment in a few per- ‘tinent remarks expressing their pleasure at the resuit, The Mcrning Post, an independent radical paper, con- edes the “tate to Sharswood by, 3,000 at least, and ahe city by 7,000. Sharswood's majority, after a careful count, is esti- mated at 8,276, and Ludlow’s 5,453, OHIO, SPECIAL TELEGRAMS TO THE HERALD. “Pho Excitement in the Capital of the State. Covumsos, Oct. 8, 1867. ‘The democrats entered very earnestly into the conflict ‘with the republicans to-day at the polls. Hardly a demo- cratin the city failed to vote, whilo many republicans might be accused of being apa:hetic, From early morning till sundown all the polis, with ‘the exception of one or two, were besieged by those who were either anxious to vote or to ascertain some idea of Ahow the voting was going on. At the county Court House an English- wan who had, unfortunately for himself, ac- cepted the post of republican challenger for the sum of five dollars, got brutally beaten for being too fiicious in challenging democratic v ters, A few other mishaps occurred to republican challengers @ other polls, but the occurrence on every occasion appeared to origivate from an over-indulgence in alco- ~b@iic stimulants, Less than an bour after the sun went down crowds eran to collect around [hirman Hall, the democratic ‘headquarters, to await the anxiously expected returns, After the hall bad been packed to its utmost capacity a argo assemblaze still remained om the street outside, ooking eagerly up at the window, to hear. what deeds the democracy had performed in the State, At the ‘same time the beer and liquor saloons were all opened and prodigiously patronized, ‘Tho republicans ub:erved the occasion very modestly, ‘ocrowd being assembied in front of their headquar- ters and no demonstration indulged within; but the democrats were tumultuous, and every announcement of again over last year’s vote was received with the ‘widest applause, Returns from the county of Frank- iin were brought in by couriers, and whenever one ap- pearec with either a democratic or republican gain his Presence was hailed with the wildest delight, Thix county (Franklin) gives Judge Thurman, demo- erat, about 2,600 majority, a democratic gain of 800 over ‘Yast year, The democratic gans In the State, as far as heard from, are large and indicate the election of Thurman. ‘The constitutional amendment is beaten badly.

A Great Gathering—Horace Greeley as Ora. tor of tl Day-Trials of Horse Flesh— Trotters and Pacers. Cantistx, Pa., Oct. 4, 1867, The annual Cumberland County Agricultural Fair at this place, of tour days’ duration, closed to-day. The frat three days were the finest of October sunshine; but the expected fun on the fourth was spoiled by a dismal nor’wester—cold, rainy and dark and dismal as New- foundiand in a fog. Under the charming skies of yesterday the an- mouncement that the day would be signalized by a les- son from Horace Greeley in the Georgics to the farmers in council assembled, and that bis address would be garnished by several trials of horse flesh, double teams in harness, an immense crowd was drawn together, including an attractive representation of the wives and daughters of the honest yeomanry. There were not lesa than fifteen thou- sand souls on the fair grounds during the races. Mr. Greeley’s address is spoken of by the farmers as per- fectly satisfactory. Said one of them, on being ques- tioned to-day concorning it, “Well, I tell you, he may be a fool in some things; I’ve often thought he was; but old Mr, Greeley is no fool about farming. He knows it like a book. He is not a flowery man; he don’t spread himself in the spread eagle fashion, but he talks real horse sense on farming, and especially on wool and sheep, and he is great on manure. That, I tell you, is his strong point—manure. I reckon, too, he is a good tariff map, and on that ticket he’s at home in Pennsylvany.”’ He came, ho made his speech and he disappeared.
