Washington, Oct. 15. The (New York Herald, contains the following analysis of the Ohio election : :."-. "-" At the election , for Congressmen in Ohio f last year, the Republicans carried sixteen oht of jthc nineteen, districts in! the 8tate. The Democrats elected their candidates in the 5th3 12th and 13th districts the latter ! by a majority of 271, which Cplumbus Dela no, the defeated candidate, is flow contest ing. At the election on the 8th instant, the) Democrats carried twelve out of the nineteen districts, and came within a hundred votes ef carrya ng two or th reef p t h ers. 1 1 In1 he t wd districts carried by them last year, and not contested their majorities are increased from 2652 to 5204 in the 5th district, and from 3210 to 6002'lh the 12th distribt, while in the 13th district, which is being! contested, the democratic majority is increased from 271 to 1849. In every Republican! district the majbrities are cut down 'immensely. In the 7th district; which gare Hon. Samuel Shellabarger 2171 ' majority-lastj j year,:" the, RadicaU escaped with a bare 59 majority at the recent election, while; in the 8th district the majority was reduced from 1852 to 62. In the 2d "district the radical candidate Wits defeated by nearly , 1 ,000 votes! Gen. Cary, his successful Opponent, alt tough per sonally in favor of negro suffrage, is opposed to forcing it upon any State, and pledged himself to the democracy to oppose any measure? looking to the passage ot a bill by Congress enfranchising the blacks either in the- North or South. He may therefore bj regarded' as an opponent of the Congres -bioual policy of reconstruction. j ; . j 1 The most significant feature about these Districts,: is the revolution in the 10th. Thi i District is represented by Mr. J. M.

The number , of soldiers, on duty in the South' does not exceed a full corps of the late Army of the Potomac. : The total expenses of our military establishment for the present year wjill probably not exceed. $25,000,000, and about one-half of this sum may be credited to, the South. ! Deducting from this, say two millions for ordinary ex penses, will leave about ten millions for ex penditures on reconstruction. : This expen diture is certainly not large, considering the magnitude of the work to be done; it is ne cessary, and it will I be beneficial. Every j dollar paid to our soldiers - at the. South is .spent there. It is an addition to the wealth of that section. It is also a most profitable addition, for it is the price we are paying for permanent peace. ' ' ; To appreciate 'properly the value of the services ot our soldiers in the South since the war, we ought 1o compare them with the services of the soldier)? who are; now : main taining the existing 'farmed peace" in Eu rope; For instanca, Prussia,' with a popula tion about equal to our own, and; like our: sel ves, engaged in reconstruction . after, a great war, supports about 300,000 armed men, at a cost of nearly 50,000,000. That is, Prussia employs about six men to our one, and pays two dollars to our one for the means of preserving pace.V ;Thef cases 1 are widely different in many points, yet sufficient ly alike to show that we have, comparatively speaking, no reason toj consider our situation exceptionally bad. I ; ; The comparison wilt hold equally good in regard to every other country in Europe. Even little Portugal, vfhich is not threatened with Aggression or insurrection, supports an army, nearly! as large as that of the United States,' although its population is about equal to the population of New;York State. Tak ing Europe as a whole j one man out of every hundred persons is a soldier, who earns noth ing and ; who does not perform . even police duties8 Here only about one man out of seven : hundred persons is'a soldier, and he performs in many cases the same duties that night watchmen and policemen perform in our larr9 cities. This holds good especially at the South. There our soldiers; are not more numerous in proportion to the popula tion; they are not more expensive, and they are not on the average more oppressive, to the people than are the Police in any British or -AmWlAi .ntVl iiThfev are, in factPohce detailed for a timenf special . duty in the 8outh, and the attempt to depreciate their, services, or to cast bdium cponj them lor; porrvinv intn flfrt thi?

The cost of maintaining peace in the United States is no more than a child's weight to us; the - cost -of "armed peace' in Europe is a useless 'burden of of fensive and defensive armor heavy enough to weigh down a giant XT, Y, .Times, s We are under obligations to Col.
