NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1876—TRIPLKE SHEET. 7 Onio. Both parties profess to be moderately con- fident of carrying Ohio next Tuesday. A Henaxp correspondent in that State gives elsewhere a very interesting summary of the opinions on the result given him by leading republicans and democrats, He remarks that the democrats have shown the greatest skill in nominating candidates adapted to the different localities, 2s when they put for- ward a soft money candidate in a district where the greenback sentiment is strong, anda hard money man where the people favor a sound currency. In fact, the demo- cratic politicians appear to have grasped the situation moré readily than their opponents, and have, it would seem, made a remark- ably close and careful canvass, availing themselves with great tact of every advan- tage which the political situation offered them. More recently, our correspondent re- ports, the republicans have awakened to their danger, and their canvass during the last ten days has thoroughly aroused the re- publican votersand, it is believed, strength- ened the chances of that side. Ohio is always o doubtful State. It is more than ever so this year. It gave Grant & majority of over 41,000 in 1868, but in 1869 this fell, on the election of a Governor, to 7,518. In 1870 the republican Secretary of State had a majority of 13,831, In 1871 the republican Governor had a majority of 16,084. In 1872 the republican Secretary of Btate, in the October election, was chosen by only 12,104 majority, while in November the State gave Grant 34,268 majority. In 1873 all this was lost, and Governor Allen was eleeted by817majority. In 1874 the democrats elected ‘heir Secretary of State by a plurality of 8,392 and a majority over the republican candidate of 17,202, In 1875 this majority was lost by the democrats, and Governor Hayes “carried the State by o majority of 5,544 votes. According to our correspondent the republicans generally assert that, even if Ohio is lost by them next Tuesday, Gov- ernor Hayes will carry it handsomely in November. This may be true, but the loss of Ohio now by them would affect their vote in other States and prove very embarrassing if not fatal to them in November. Cona Is Ficatixe ror Vicrory.—It is now over eight years since the standard of revolt was raised at Yara, and although Spain has spent six hundred million dollars and wasted the lives of one hundred thousand soldiers in the attempt to suppress the in- turrection, we find the rebels taking a town and leading the whole garrison captive. After the collapse of the Carlist rebellion we were promised a speedy end tothe Mambi. A Spanish official document not long since gave out that the rebellion was likely to die of sheer inanition. It does not look like it, General Jovellar has left Havana to inquire into the matter. Strange rumors of deser- tion in bodies by the Spanish troops come to us, as though there was a better living for wsoldier of fortune in the republican than in the royalist camp. When will Spain allow ber pride to take counsel with her common sense and let Cuba go? A Home yor Trvants is the latest project before the Board ef Education. We do not think that any steps should be taken by the Board on such a matter without grave delib- eration. The proposition to turn over our little waifs and strays to the Board of Education demands serious discussion. The machinery at present under the con- trol of the. Charity Commissioners is sup- posed by our citizens to be ample for their accommodation. What is a truant, and how Is he to be legally distinguished from a va- grant? is a question for the Board beforo they proceed to give out contracts for costly buildings. . Tpmmany Haz is putting on its war paint lor the great battle of November. In other words, the ward and election district machinery of the party is being oiled and greased. There was much business and little powwow at the Wigwam yesterday. Jonx T. Acxxw is one of our candidates for Mayor. We do not insist upon his elec- tion whether the people want him or not, but we believe they want a man of the kind of which this name is a type. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Bancroft ie seventy-six.

This latter step is very sut- picious, and the public is clamoring for an investiga- into the behavior of the officers. Captain General Jovellar left Havana the night be- fore last by a special train, with two companies of vet- erans. Ho is going firstto the jurisdiction of Colon, where the insurgents have burned a place named Cali- mete; thence be goes to Las Tun ACTIVITY BEFORE JOVELLAR'S DKPARTCRE, The newspapers hero say that Jovellar goes to pre- pare matters for the coming winter eampaign, but there We nodoubt that the recent events nave decided his sudden departure, TUX INSURRECTION GAISING STRENGTH.

AN AUTHENTIC DENIAL OF THE CAMPAIGN STORY ABOUT THR AMERICAN ALLIANCE AND GOVEBNOR HAYES—THE REAL FACTS OF THE CASE. Covmnvs, Obio, Oct. 5, 1876, A persistent attempt is being made to fasten upon Governor Hayes tho falsehood that he ts a member of tho American Alliance, or is in sympatby with any doctrine which proscribes foreigners. The papers to- day charge that tho special committee of the Alliance waited on Governor Hayes, at the Continental Hotel, July 5, to notity him of his nomination. No such com- mittee waited on Mr. Hayes there, and he left Phila- deiphia tor Ohio at seven o'clock A. ‘M. on the Sth. About July 9a letter was received hero containing a Printed copy of resolutions adopted by the Alliance at the special conference. They were published in Fast- ern papers in full at the time of their adoption. Tuey oppose tho organization of the Roman Catholic socteties for political interference im national affairs, imdorse the common school system and Biblo, fa: vor tho clcetion of members of Congress who are in favor of American principles, deprecate revival of ari- etween the North and South, favor a return pecie payment, return thanks to the soldiers and satlors in the Iato war, indorse the nomination of Hayes and Wheeler, and earnestly advise all who are in favor of American principles as advocated and set forth in these resolutions to give these nominations their en- tire support. There was, as will be seen by tho above, po reference whatever to foreigners, or any principles of this order, and the letter of Secretary Leo was simply a polite acknowledgment of the indorsement ot Hayes and Wheeler, and waa in substance what has been written to Irish and German clubs and other political organiza- tions in various parts of the country who have in- dorsed Hayes and Wheeler, These leiters of acknowl- edgment were all writien by Secretary Lee on his own responsibility and without consultation with Governor Hayes, a8 was ulso this particular totter, GOVERNOR FAIRBANKS, INAUGURAL ADDRESS—A SKETCH OF THE Pro- GRESS OF THE STATE AND 1T8 PROSPEROUS CONDITION.

Inpraxarotis, Ind., Oct, 5, 1876, The democratic reunion of soldiers and sailors to- day was a great suc and the torchlight procession this evening was equally full and enthusiastic, It was about twice as large as the republican reunion of two Weeks ago, and far more inspired with euthusiasm. There were delegations from all parts of the Union. The republican display was greater in the mater of house decoration, and the ‘Boys in Blue’? were more picturesque in color than the ‘Boys in White.” In strength of numbers, however, the latter had the superiority, THB PROCESSION.

Ho acts with @ good deal of caution ands constantly under the advico of his friend, The arrest mado considei nsation here to-day, PARTICULARS OF THE ARREST. The arrest ot Elbert A. Wooaward, Tweed’s old col- league, in Chicago, has caused no little stir among tho old frionds of tho ‘Boss’? in this city, aud yesterday it was a subject of general comment among politicians of all parties, especially among those who congregate in the vicinity of the City Hall and Court House. It appears that on tho first day of the presont month two men, who gave their names as A. Wallace, of Liverpool, and J, H. Blanodt, of this city, registered at the Palmer House, im Chicago. On the day before yester- day Mr. C. W. Weston, of this city, while stopping in Chicago, happened to euter the Palmer Houso and in itencountered tho two gentlemen alluded to. Mr. Weston and Woodward had been schoolmates and consequently knew cach other woil. When Weston saw the person who had given his namo as Wallace ho at once recognized him as being no other personage than E. A. Woodward, Tweed’s former partner,. and oneof the principal members of the Ring which existed under the Twoed. régime. Weston was undo- cided what to do in the matter, and made known his knowledge to the clerk of tho hotel, who suggested that a telegram to Buperimtendont Walling, giving the information, would be tho proper thing, This plan was adopted, and sqpn a reply trom this elty camo, saying that Woodward should bo ar- rested, The response was shown to Chiof of Police Hickey, of Chicago, and that official detatied a detec- tive to return to the hotel and arrest Wooaward. Wes- tom and the dotective went to the hotel, where they found Woodward engaged In conversation, and the de- tective proceeded to inform Woodward that he must be taken into captivity. Woodward at first rebuffed the officer, but as soon as Weston made his appearance he “weakened,” and exclaimed:—‘My God, Charlie, you are not going to give mo away, are you?’’ and pro. tested old friendship, at the same time asking Weston to not prefer any chargo against him. Wostom ro- mainod obdurate, however, and Woodward was com- pelled to accompany the detective. Hoe was not plaed in = common coll, but in a guarded private room in the Central station. WOODWARD's DIBGUISE, Woodward expressed a dosire to be sent at once to New York, saying that it was his intention to go there in asbort time; but, of course, bis request met with no acquiescence by tho authorities. Woodward is very ‘well disguised, and probably not one of his old friends would be able to recognize him. Ho was a sociable happy, good-natured sort of fellow, and these charac- teristica were visible on his countesance; but now he presents the appearance of a man who has seen consid- efable trouble, He js not at all near-sighted, bat wears eyeglasses to augment his disguise, He says that he went to Europe by way of Canada as soon as the ex- position of the Ring frands began, and has not seen Tweed for six yoars, though ho bas for some time ro- sided in Spain. Some of his frionds in Now York, however, say that he bas beon here sevoral timos since he first went away, bat has shown bimsoif in his true character to only a few of his most intimate friends, The last time that he visited Now York was last Do- cember. During these visits he was most careful to conceal who he was, and was always successful, ‘THR FRIEND BLANODT. Who his friend Bianodt is no information has as yet been ascertained, Blanodt 1s with the prisoner the better part ot the time and acts sort of counsel to him. No attempt to arrest him has beon made. Whon first taken into custody Woodward stated that ho camo to Chicago from Liverpool, by the way of Savannab, but has since acknowledged, It ts said, that he came direct from Boston. Detectives were sont from this city to bring bim here, and when ho arrives he will be confined in the Central OMce, AROUND THE WALL, The deductions reached by the politicians around the City Kall from the arrest are various, All admit thay it tga stroke of policy on part of the administra- tion, and will hurt Tilden by the ‘‘exposares’’ be will make to gain fayor; but the democrats generally oom. fend that any revelations that he will make will de more good than injury to “Unele Sommy.” WOODWARD'S CAREER.

When questioned about the mdictments Mr, Pock- ham exclaimed— There are enough indictments to cover him six foet deep. We've got plenty of indict ments.
