ONE MORE DEMOCRATIC 8ENAT0B—SOUTH
ERN DEMOCRATIC POLICY ADOPTED
BY MR. HAYES APPROVED.
Washington, October 9. — Returns
from Ohio to-night will be oompared with
the vote for Barnes and Bell a year ago.
DAY PLEA8ANT.
Columbus, Ohio, October 9.—The day
has been pleasant throughout the State,
which is usually considered favorable to
the Republicans, hut the fair weather is
offset by apathy, and the withdrawal of
Republican votes to workingmen's and
greenhsok tickets. Returns coming in
slowly indicate Democratic gains. In the
compilation of the vote no account is
taken of the greenback or workingmen’s
vote, although the latter are said to have
polled a heavy vote in Hamilton county.
Comparisons as to Democratic or Repub
lican gains will be made with the vote for
Beoretary of State in October, 1876.
DEMOCRATIC GAIN.
Columbus, October 9.—Returns from
seventy voting preoinots, scattering
throughout the State, but not including
many from cities, show a Democratic gain
of 1,700.
GONE DEMOCRATIC.
Washington, October 9.—Private dis
patches indioate that Ohio has gone Dem
ocratic.
DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY 10,000.
Washington, October 9.—Private dis
patches say Ohio is Democratio from 10,-
000 to 16,000.
TOLEDO RETURNS—MIXED TICKET EEECTED,
Toledo, Ootober 9.—The election has
been light. The vote is probably twenty
per cent, less than last year. The
N ational party developed unlooked for
strength and claimed the election of a
portion of their oounty ticket. Specula
tions in various political oireles at an
early honr to-night, is to the effect that
the Republicans have elected their Treas
urer, Recorder and one Representative,
with the remainder of the ticket divided
between the Demoorats and Nationals,
Much scratching has been indulged in by
all parties, and reliable figures are unob
tainable until late hours.
GEN. EWING CONCEDES THE STATE TO THE
DEMOORATS.
Washington, Ootober 9.—-Gen. Ewing
telegraphs one-tenth of the State gives a
Democratio gain of over 3,000. No doubt
they have carried the State ticket and the
Legislature, independent of Hamilton
oonnty, which is supposed to be ours.
INDICATED DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY 30,000.
Columbus, O., October 9.—At 11:30
p. M. returns were received from 266 pre
cinets, including some from nearly every
portion of the State. The net Demo
eratio gain in these is 4,188, indicating
Democratio gain of 30,000, .and the elec
tion of Bishop (Democrat) for Governor
by 26,000 majority.
DEMOCRATS CARRY HAMILTON OOUNTY,
Cincinnati, October 9.—At this hour
returns have been reoeived from but 24
out of 127 precincts in Hamilton oonnty,
These give Bishop 2,364; West 2,034
Bond (Workingmen) 1,607. The Demo
orats have probably elected their entire
oonnty and legislative ticket.
REPUBLICANS CONCEDE THE STATE BY 10,
000—THEIR REASONS.
Columbus, Ootober 9, 1 a. m. — The
Democratic Committee claims the elec
tion of Bishop by from 10,000 to 26,000,
and also a majority in both branches of
the General Assembly.
The Republican Committee concedes
Bishop’s election by over 10,000 but are
in doubt about the Assembly. There is
no basis for computing the number of
votes cast by the two working parties,
but it is supposed to be considerable, as
it is claimed that they cast 10,000 votes
in Hamilton county alone.
It will be noticed that Democratio gains
came largely from Republic strongholds
in the western reserve. In one township
near Oberlin the Democrats gained 326
votes.
The Republican Committee, in giving
the reasou for this falling off in tbeir
votes, say it is caused by the Republican!
who abstained from voting, they intend'
ing in this way to show their dissatisfao
tion with the President.

announce that of the 363 Republican
neats, the winning by the Government of
117 is very probable, indeed almost oer
tain, while in 40 more the prospeots are
favorable, so that the Government will
have a majority of at least 20. The Left,
however, still reokon confidently on 400
seats.
GAMBETTA TO ADDRESS A MULTITUDE.
Paris, Ootober 9.—Gambetta will ad
dress a great meeting this evening. Biz
thousand cards of admission have been

thorities on their part have taken speoial
meusures. They have stationed detach
monts of troops iu the Place Chateau
d'Eau, which is close to the plaoe of
meeting, and posted a guard to police the
neighborhood.
THE MASH MEETING AND GAMBETTA’s SPEECH.
Paris, Ootober 9. —The great Repub
lican meeting passed off without any dis
turbance. Iu his speech, M. Gambetta
said the existence of universal suffrage
was at stake, and pointed out the danger
whioh that institution would incur, if, af
ter having at the last elections
pronounced in favor of the Re
public, it should now give itself the
lie iu consequence of governmental pres
sure. In that ease the public peace would
be compromised, for universal suffrage
waR it own defence. Its fall would in
volve the decadonoe and death of the
country.
M. Gambetta eulogized M. Grevy as the
man best fitted for continuing the work,
of ooncord, conciliation and respect for
the law. He disclaimed any desire for
power for himself, and concluded his
speech with a violent attack on the cleri
cals, who ho said excited the fears of Eu-
rope by the presence of an anti-Repabli-
can coalition.

COTTON.

REPORT OF GALVESTON EXCHANGE—TEXAS
25 PER CENT. DECREASE.
Galveston, Oot. 9.—The cotton ex*
change crop report is as follows :
The character of the weathor since Sep
tember 1st has been favorable in 64 coun
ties and unfavorable in 7; the effect of tho
weather has been good in 64 counties;
bad in 7. There has been no additional
damage to the crop by worms since the
last report.
Picking is progressing rnpidly; one-
half the crop is already picked ; yield
compared with laRt year points to a de
crease of at least 25 per oent..
REPORT OF SAVANNAH EXCHANGE —LESS
YIELD.
Savannah, Ootober 9.—Ninety* three
replies from fifty-five oouuties in the ear
ly part of the month report the weather
as dry and warm, the balance rainy, with
a heavy wind storm for three days, 18th,
19th and 20th ult.; in the southwest por-
tion of the State tho wet season caused,
in some sections, a new growth, but it is
two late for any benefit to bo derived
therefrom; little or no duinage from
worms, hat the rain and wind injured tho
quality, and portions of the cotton open
in the fields have been beaten out and
destroyed. The principal complaint seems
to he from rust. This is very gouerul
over the State. Picking progressed rap
idly up to the middle of month, but since
progress has been been made. All the
replies indicate that we must expect a
less yield than last year. Iu some sec
tions the plant is in no condition to make
any more, while in others it is growing
well and makiug every day. On such
crops so much depends upon the imme
diate season that is ahead of us and the
time thAfc a killing frost appears, that no
oorreot or even^au approximate per ceut-
age of decrease as compared with last
year can be given in this report.
Florida—Fifteen per oent. decrease—
Twentyr-five replies from thirteen coun
ties. The last fifteen days incessant
rains, accompanied by high winds have
prevented the gathering of the crop.
Mach has been beaten out aud destroyed,
and the quality of that open and remain
ing in the fields a is much injured. The
rainy season has had the effect of causiug
the plant to take a second growth, and
throw off fruit to bring forward the worm
and to increase the rust. A month
ago there was a fine prospect
this State, and a much
larger yield than last year was looked for.
The damage now from worms, rust and
storms is estimated at 15 to 20 per oent.
Farmers had to make good progress up
to the date the storms commenced. During
the wet weather work was suspended und
much of the oottou open in the fields
during that bad spell has b<*m lost. It is
difficult at this time to estimate either
the yield or how the yield of this crop
will compare with the last. The seasons
up to the middle of September were more
favorable than tho last, and with a larger
aoreage, and there was a prospect of
gathering a larger crop than the last. It
is fair to estimate that with good weathor
the balance of the season that the yield of
this State will not fall below that of last
year.

port of the late fight between Joseph’s

Joseph was a prisoner in Miles’ hands, but
was exchanged for Lieutenant Jerome,

Hendrick* Arrived.
New York, Ootober 9.—Among the
passengers by the Boshnia are ex-Gov-
eruor aud Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks.
Norfolk, Ootober 9.—Thirty replies
from 18 counties iu North Carolina and
Virginia have been reoeived. All the re
plies rerort the weather during September
very rainy rnd stormy to the injury of the
plant. Considerable damage i# reported,
owing to the reoent storms, some from
rust and rot, very little injury, if any,
from worms. Progress of picking is much
retarded, being from ten to tweivo days
behind last year, owing to recent bad
weather. The yield this year will be on
an average about 175 to 200 pounds of
lint cotton to the acre as compared with
last year. The yield is considered by a
few to be about the SAmo, or perhaps a
little better, while tho majority of replies
report a deoaease in yield from 25 to 40
per oent.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON EXCHANGE—YIEID 25
PER OENT. LESS.
New Orleans, Ootober 9.—Louisiana—
From 32 parishes have recoived 62 re
plies, of average date September 30. They
report the weather during tho present
month as universally unfavorable from
too much rain, causing tho plant to shed
its bolls. The damage is reported from
storms, rust and rot, and in some parishes
from worms. The estimated injury is
about 31 per cent. Picking is progress
ing finely, and the yield, as compared
with last year, is reported to bo at least
25 per oent. less.
MISSISSIPPI—SHORT 10 PER CENT. I
Seventy-seven reports from thirty-one
counties, dated from September 3d to
Ootober 4th. Too much rain is reported
in the early part of September. The lat
ter part of tho month the weather has
been dry and more favorable to plants.
Considerable damage is reported in a
large portion of tho Stato from worms,
rust and storms, whilst in a few sections
no damage has beeu done. Picking is
progressing slowly, and tho yield, in com
parison with last year, will fall short about
10 per cent.
ARKANSAS — FAVORABLY WITH LAST YEAR.
Received 33 answers from 23 counties,
average date September 30. Except in a
few sections, where there were heavy
rains in the early portion of the month,
the weather during September is reported
favorably, and in consequence tho effoct
was good to the plant. Many complaints
of rust, shedding and worms, but the
damage from these causes does not appear
to exoeed 3 per cent. Picking is pro
gressing rapidly, aud yields compare
favorably with last year.
CHARLESTON EXCHANGE—FALLING OFF THIBn
TEEN FEU CENT.
Charleston, October 9.—Tho report is
based upon 83 replies from 30 counties.
The weather is reported most of tho
month as being wot aud stormy. The ef-
feot upon the plant was to retard the ma
turing of the top orop where it had not
been destroyed by previous drouth.
There has been little or no damage by
storms in upland cotton, but rust, rot ond
storms have injured the crop very seri
ously, both in quantity and quality, beat-
ing oat cotton that was open, damaging
the staple. Picking is reported n* making
good progress by 30, who state that from
a quarter to half of the orop is gathered,
and very backward by 51, wet weather
interfering. The estimates of the yield
vary from 100 to 200 pounds of lint per
aore, the average being 156 pounds. Niue
report the yield more than last yoar and
74 less—from 5 to 50 per cent. The
average of the State being 13 per cent,
below last year.
AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF “SCALING”
—HOW THE FLAN IS RECEIVED.
The Universal Life Insuraneo Com
pany has issued an address to its policy
holders, accompanied by a contract for
them to sign agreeing to cut down the
face of their policies. The addross sets
forth that the Superintendent of Insur
ance deemed it his duty to report the
company insolvent, und a motion was
made to appoint a receiver, and a referee
was appointed to take testimony as to the
facts. Ou the 14th of September “a pe
tition of a largo number of policy- holders”
was presented asking for u suspension of
tho proceedings in order that the com
pany might rnuko some adjustment of its
affairs, and avoid a receivership. The
address then explains the difference of
opinion whioh exists botwoeu tho com
pany aud the superintendent in regard to
tho value of the assets, and insists that
real estate which cost tho company more
than it would realize at this time should
not bo valued upon a present cash busis.
If a receiver should bo appointed extra
ordinary litigation and costs and expenHos
would follow. In ouler to avoid this the
oompany makes the following pioposi
tion :
You to releaso to tho company one-
half of your policy, and—except on paid
up policies—pay only one- half of prosont
premiums ; all the assets of tho company
over and above its liabilities to be annu
ally applied to the restoration of all poli
cies to their original condition—the stock
holders to have no profits, not oven inter
est on their stock, until all policies are
thus restored.”
Following the above proposition come
a number of persuasive “points,” eudiug
with the following:
Fourth—From the articles entitled “Life
Insurance Assets and 1 labilities" which
wo send you, you will seo that there can
be no doubt as to the realization by the
oompany of a large surplus with whioh to
restore, in the way proposed, to each as
sured all that he shall release ; and you
will also see from the articles entitled
“Receiverships” the full nature of tho ca
lamities we are striving to uvoid.
Fifth—Policy-holders will, in fact, be
as well off by the adoption of tho plan
proposed as though wo should succeed,
after a tedious ooutest, in having tho
oompany judicially declared solvent, so
all the assets will be retained by the oom
pany, aud the expenses of a lengthy liti
gation will be saved
Sixth—The stockholders will have no
interest, of uny name or nature, in- any
profits until the policy-holders are made
whole as proposed ; aud, of course they
will never realize anything, in interest or
otherwise—although they have paid into
the company $200,000 in cash—unless
the company should suoceed in fully re
storing policy-holders’ interests as pro- i
posed. 1
This proposition has the approval of
the Superintendent of the Insurance De
partment, the Attorney Geuoral aud the
oourt.
The above address is supplemented by
a long oontraot for the assured to sign,
agreeing to a reduction of one-half of tho
amount of the policy. A part of the con
sideration for doing so is a reduction of
one-half of the premium. The stock
holders also agree that one-half of tho
profits of every nature hereafter accruing
shall be annually divided among the poli
cyholders, until such dividends shall have
increased the nmouuts of the several
policies to the figure prior to tho reduc
tion. In case any dividends shall bo paid
to tho stockholders of said oompany be
fore all the policies are restored, tho
agreement is to be null and void.
The above propositions havo not been,
thus far, responded to favorably. The
policy-holders doom a change of manage
ment quite as desirable as tho cutting
down of 60 per cont. of their policies.—
