a verv aged and highly respected citizen
f that town, was found lying on the sidewalk
0 ‘‘ strfM , t> Tuesday night about 10 o’clock, in a

probable that he will recover.
Aleck Green and Tell Boggs, both colored,
rot into a di-pute in Rome last Monday night,
ia which Boggs fired four shots at Green, one
f which took effect. No jioliceman could be
found to arrest the parties, so after the shoot-
in r Boggs remained in town until the follow

bas been heard of him since.
Wild ducks are plentiful in the Coosa river.
An early riser inrorms the Rome Tribune that
he saw at least forty flocks going down the
river a few mornings since.
The Da’ton Citizen grows enthusiastic over
the fact that “Georgia was never in a more
prosperous condition—the cotton anil coru
crops were never better—all our towns are im
proving the system of agriculture has im
proved greatly within the past few years—
emigrants from Europe, skilled artisans and
experienced tillers of the soil, are coming into
various port.ons of the State and opening up
n . w farms and engaging in other industries.
In a word, everything is ou a big bootn iu the
•Empire State of the South.’ ”
The Perry Home Journal learns that on last
Sunday morning Mr. Wiu. Harper, who lives
on a plantation in Houston county, accidentally
shot himself in the thigh while playing with a
pistol. The Journal has been told that all the
pistols on that place can now be bought for
thirty-seven and a half cents apiece.
The News says that bets are being made
in Albany that Hancock will not carry
Georgia by forty thousand majority'. That is
t*ie softest bet we ever heard of. The man
who makes it might as well give up his money-
in advance.
Columbus boas's of the well known Eagle
6 Phienix Cotton Mills, and the Columbus
Enquirer speaks authoritatively wlen it says:
“Tne Southern cotton mills do not want any
protection from the government. Were the
tariff removed or lessened they could buy ma
chinery and dye stuffs far cheaper. The ques
tion of freight would overbalance any advan
tage possessed by establishments abroad. We
heard this statement made by a gentle man con
nected closely with the largest cotton mill in
the South.”
The Brunswick Seaport Appeal says “the
cold wave struck us at six o'clock Sunday
morning, without premonition or a moment's
warning, and the temperature became wlnter-
ish in ten minutes, and remained so till Thurs
day morning-making fires and overcoats ne
cessary to com tort.”
The Atlanta Constitution devotes three-
quarters of a column to reports of casualties,
pocket picking, etc., in the city, at the fair
grounds last Thursday. The light fingered
gentry are making gooi use of their opportuni
ties.
The Macon Telegraph asserts, and asserts it
boldly, that the races to come off in that city
next week will be the finest ever held in
Georgia.
the Gwinnett Herald: “Mr. Loviek
Betts, one of the oldest and most highly es
teemed citizens of Gwinnett, died last Sunday,
after a short illness. He was in his seventy
second year, and had been a member of the
Meth'Xli-t Chur -h for about half a century.
Tiie cause of his death was somewhat remark-
Rb e. About fifty years ago. by some accident,
hehidoue of his toes shot. From time to
tiin»* it gave him trouble, but did not seriously
interfere with his active business life From
this old wo rod started what is known in medi
cal parlance as b me erisypelas.which continu
ed to spread until it produced nis death. He
was a quit*', orderly citiz n. and reared a large
family, nearly a'l of whom are living iu this
county. His loss is a serious one to the com
munity and the church, and is irreparable to
his immed'ate family, with whom we sympa
thize in their affliction ”
Columbus Enquirer: “The through freight
train from Montgomery to Macon, bound tor
th-la'ter city, did not reach here until 10:30
o'clock yesterday morning It left at 10:45 for
Macon. From parties aboard we learn the ac
cident on the Montgomery and Eufaula Rail
way. which caused the delay, is mote serious
than was at first supjrosed. The engine, the
Reynolds, was backing and pulling the train,
w h^-n a stick of wood fell from the rear of the
tender on the track, which caused the run off.
The Reynolds fell down a slight embankment
on her side and into the mud. She is a total
wreck. The three next ca~« jumped the track
and piled on the Reynolds. These are also
badly damaged. The engineer, Mr Oden,
though painfully sea ded, will recover. A
negro train hand, on one of the cars at the
time had his right leg cut off. aud it is f-*ared
he cannot recover. Ihe wreck has been clear
ed and trains are running through as usual.”
DeKalb News: “Mr. Esom J Bond presented
us two fine stalks of regular ribbon cane, which
was r.tised on his place in Diamonds district,
in this county. This cane would be a very
cr. dtub e sample from a South Georgia or
Louisiana plantation. Mr. Bond says that one
of his neighbors who h is been raising ihe cane
several years picked out three hundred stalks,
which when taken to the mill produced enough
juice to make gallons of syrup. The syrup
w as ..f fine quality and well worth 75 cents per
gallon. This would make the value of the
stalks about 2}£ cents e.- ch. But if
the syrup only sold for 50 cents
it would be nearly 2 cents . jaw

only averaged three and a hair feet in length
of matured cane, whde that presented us by
Mr. Bond measures six feet. Besides its value
for syrup, cam- raised in his section can easily
be disposed of in the Atlanta market, for im

The Columbus Enquirer tells how two inen
afinost lost their .ives by being drawn under
water by a suckl.ole as‘follows: ** Tuesday af
ternoon two men came near losing their lives
in the Chattahoochee river near the point
know n as Culpepper's Island under the most
unexpected circumstances that could be im
agined. Mr. M. L. N.sbet and a negro man
w.-re hunting duck down the river, and when
near Culpepper's Island they met the steamer
" 3'ly on her trip uo to this city. At this p«. int
tne current is very strong and there had l-niged
a pile of driftwood w bich caused what is gen
erally called a suckhole in the water. While
the men were looking at the boat their bat-
e*u was drawn into the suckhole and almost
in the twinkling of au eye the bateau and
both men were carried beneath the
water. The officers on the Wylly
were looking at them at the time, and it was
several minutes before either of them were
seen again. The negro was the first to get his
head above water, which he fortunately did
Dear the pile of wood, and in a little time Mr.
>isbet met with the same good luck. The boat
went under to remain and was not seen after
ward As the boat went down Mr. Nisbe^sgun
was thrown on the drift wood and was thus
saved from sinking with the bateau. Tbis
was indeed a narrow and fortunate escape, as
these suckholes are considered very dangerous
places, and those who get into them seldom
get out afire It was extremely fortunate that
they arose to the surface so near the driftwood
or the community would have been deprived
of a most excellent cit zen.”
Atlanta ('onstitulion: “Yesterday evening
about six o’clock a regular four cornered fight
occurred at the fair grounds, and resulted in
tbe wouncing of three m«n. As to the exact
origin of the difficulty but little can be said as
nothing can be learned, but the particulars are
about as follows: Several parties were engaged
!n playing at a ring game when a difficulty
m-ose between W. W. Thurman, who resides in
Brooklyn, and another party. After quite an
amount of quarreling Mr. Thurman drew his
revolver and began tiring. Tom Donaldson,
one of those engaged in the game, returned the
fire, when Ben Pharr and a man by the name
or Lrby took a hand in the fracas. Several
shots were fired by both sides and resulted in
the wounding of Thurman, Officer Cullum,
who attempted to suppress the difficulty, and
Judge Pittman, who was in no wav con
nected with the disturbance. Thurman was
shot twice, both balls entering the left leg, one
below the knee and the other in the thigh. His
wound-* are pronounced serious Officer Cul
lum was wounded in the leftside, and although
not dangerous, the wound is a disagreeable
one. Judge Pittman, who was standing auite
ft distant ftway, received a slight scratch on

Thurman’s condition would not permit his
arrest, and he is now at home receiving every
possible attention Urby cannot be found,
whilst Donald *on and Pharr rest in cell No. 4
at the calaboose. Last night about two o’clock
they were visited by a Constitution representa
tive. but they declined to state tne cause of
the difficulty, and refused inos: emphatically
to be interviewed.”
Macon Telegraph and Messenger : “A young
man named J. R. Gates, if his statement be
true, was robbed in the heart of the city night
before last of the sum of one hundred and
forty dollars. Gates'* statement is that he took
a drink in Cnristian s saloon, on Cherry street,
with two inen by the name of Martin and
Bailey; that they were together some time,
and they finally persuaded him to go to a room
near at hand, where one of thorn proposed a
gainenf faro, tiie apparatus being in the room,
rte told them he dii not play, but was induced
to lend one of them money to play against the
other. After he had lost thirty dollars, he re
fused to play any more, lie had then one hun
dred and ten dollars left in hi* pocket, which he
counted in their presence. Thej’ locked arms
with him and started towards the Brown House,
but on the waj- down got his m uey from him
ami started to rue. He caught Bailey, who
broke loose two or three lirnes and finally exil
ed up a negro and handed him something.
That he. Gates succeeded iu getting his man
to the barracks, and after he had been there
some time, one c f the lieutenai.ts of the police
returned him thirty dollars which Bailey gave
up, and advised him to drop the matter. He
refused to do it. but the police turned the man
loose. Mr. Pates brought an a jvertisement.

at dark last evening, aud informed us u half
hour later that he had been offered $50 to drop

$7', and later he return d and withdrew his
aavertiseinent. We presume he got his price.
We know nothing of the facts in the case other
than those given hy Mr. Gates. He had just

“’Way Down Upon the Sawannee
River.”
Old Town, Lafayetts County, Fla., Octo
ber 10.—Editor Morning News : Several months
having elapsed since I have written you,
thought you would probably like to hear how
we are getting on in fhis com para* ively uncivi
lized part of the world. ,
In my last I mentioned as one of our great
necessities a slexmboat or boats, and now they
are fixed facts—we h-tve four steam ‘ra on
our lovely Suwannee. The Eva, Captain Wil
son commanding, is the mad boat: she mak-s
trips once a we. k regularly from Cedar Keys
to New Troy and back to the Keys, and the
Captain informs us he will soon commence
making two trips per week. Captain C. T. y
lor commands the Erie, at other boat, and
makes regular trips once per week. The David
Yulee, Captain BedJick commanding, does the
business regularly for Moony’s Mills: and Cap-
taiu Mcliv&ine’snew steamer,theR. M. Chaffee,
ha-s made one trip. We begin to feel as though
we are a part of the world, having so many
nice boats regularly.
Our doctor bos not come yet We still hope
some good Wamiritan, in the form of a skilled
M. D., will take pity oa us and make their borne
among us. We have had several nice families
to move in since my last. A great many little,
merchants have recently located on the banks
of our beautiful river. I hope and believe some
of them will succeed. We need a strong man
here to help us build up this lovelv country—a
man of energy and vim, with a thousand or
two dollars judiciously invested here in what
the county ntec s. could make a large fortune
We only ask a fair and impartial judgment of
our country to convince the most skepti. al that
we have a desirable locality for a home. Liv
ing is cheap, and we now have transportation
for all our surplus. We have a good saw and
grist mill four miles below us, at Fori Fannin,
but, therein a demand for one right h-re, on this
side of our river. We have six mails per week,
l-arm laborers, both white ana colored, can find
remunerative wages here, as there is a great
demand for them. Good piain cooks, washer
women and dairy women can find good homes.
In fact there is scarcely any kind of labor that
does not comm aud good wages, 'there is only
one class of people who have the cold shoulder
turned toward them. i. e. tramps and drones.
The sportsman will find fine sport here, as l
see every few days large droves of wild tur
keys pass in less than one hundred yards o' my
door. Deer are found here in the greatest
abundance. The cat and grav squirrel area
nuisance, and the greatest quantities of quail,
n »t to mention the opossums, raccoons, wild
cats, foxes and occesionallv bears and pan
ther-*. I am not drawingon imagination, but
dealing in facts. We live near enough to the
coast to enjoy those delightful bivalves,
oysters, whenever we will take the trouble to
get them. Good board can be had at various
points on the river. We ne«d a r>Broad io
connect our river with the Bavannah, Florida
an.i Western Railway. The necessities of th>
people demand it, and we be’ieve we will
have it. Our orange trees look finely,
and stood the cold last winter splen
didly. There was net a twig cn any
of them injured, and they have taken on a
Ia:*ge growth this season. Ihe storm in Sep-
terub- r injured tfie crop very much indeed.
The crop this year is not as large as last. The
health of this section has been unusually good;
very few chills and fever, and we never have
anything else the matter w;th us here, ex
cept occ isionally a bad cold, from which, just
at this time, everyone appears to be suf
fering all through the neighborhood. It is a
lovely season of the year for tou-ists aud
parties prospecting through the coun'ry with
a view to (^electing a home, and we hope to
see a great many strangers here the coming
season. We will aid and assist them in having
a pleasant sojourn among us.
In conclusion, let me thank you for the many
and great iinp-ovemenfs in your most excel
lent paper. It has become a household neces
sity to us, and j'ou may look on me as a life

By Telegraph to the Mamina News.
Washington, October 22.—Under orders
from the Secret Service Bureau of the
Treasury Department, the police of Chicago
arrested yesterday. In that city, a roan
named Jas. B. Doyle, who has been engaged
in crooked transactions ever since the war.
Upon his person were found 211 one
thousand dollar U. S. coupon bonds, G’s
of 1861, and about three thousand dollars
in greenbacks and national bank notes.
Upon examination here it is found that
eleven of the genuine bonds, bearing the
same number as those of the bonds found
iu the possession of Doyle, have
been redeemed, aud that of the bal
ance of the list, the numbers
on the bonds were not those originally is
sued to the parties whose name is in the
body of the bonds. Tbis clearly demon
strates that the bonds found In the posses
sion of Doyle have ail be**n changed from
their original numbers, that is, they are
bonds that have beeu stolen, and llieir
numbers changed so as to enable
their being 6old in the open market.
Doy’e is still in custody. The bonds will
be brought to Wa-hington, and will be ex
amined to ascertain their original numbers.
This will probably euable the return of the
bonds to their owners should they prove
f enuine. Doyle left New York on last
uesday. The Secret Service agents at New
York telegraphed Chief Brooks of Doyle’s
departure. lle was supposed to have iu his
possession a large amount of counterfeit
money. This information was tbe real
cause of bis arrest In Chicago, although he
wss given to understand that he was taken
in custody as a government defaulter.

Graphic Account of the Exciting
Scene* at the Agency.
A letter dated Los Pinos. Colorado.
October 2d, written by A. B. Meacham
to Dr. T. A. Bland, of \Va>hington, says:
“We have pissed through forty-eight
hours of the most exciting peril \ have
ever experienced. For an hour we ex
pected every moment that the carnival
would begin. The Utes with loaded
guns and stripped for fight demanded
the murderer of young Johnson, who
was in charge of citizens. Finally Pe-ah
said to me: ‘White man all talk; too
much talk; no more talk Ute; he fight,
he die all right; Johnson die all right;
white man die all right ; all Utes fight all
white mans; uo more talk.' It was a
moment of great peril. I cannot make
you understand the condition of things
in the few moments left me to
write. In brief, an ox teamster,
upon little or no provocation, shot
and killed young Johnson, eon of
Chief Shavanaux, thirty miles from the
agency. This occurred at dark Thurs
day evening. Friday morning at sun
rise or a little later there were perhaps
fifty armed Utes before the agent’s door,
demanding the blood of the murderer,
every man with uncovered arms, and the
wife and mother of the dead boy filling
the air with the wildest grief I ever
heard. Berry and I assured them that
the man should be caught. We then put
out for the scene of the murder, followed
by the mad human tigers. To satisfy
the Utes we called for an escort of sol
diers. Fifteen men and one officer join
ed us. We reached Cline’s at dark, and
found the murderer in charge of citizens.
We had him guarded all night hy sol
diers, Indians forming an outer guard.
The whole scene was one beyond
description until almost 1 a. m.,
when all became quiet, with the
entire army squad on guard. There
were two elements fermenting—the
white citizens, who realized the situation
and desired to wreak vengeance and jus
tice upon the murderer, and tbe Indiaos,
who sat like hyenas, watching every
movement. At sunnse the whole thing
seemed on the point of explosion. Berry
worked as never man worked before to
hold the Indians back. At 9 a. m. tbe
Utes prepared for a general slaughter.
‘No use; white man no die; all Utes die;
white inan no care.’ The citizens un
derstood the peril. Berry consented to
return the prisoner to their charge, and
they started with him to Gunnison. The
Utes appeared to agree that the prisoner
might be taken to Gunnison. The army
escort then left for camp. Berry and I
remained until everything seemed set
tled, and every Ute had started home.
Last night the ±ree white men—good,
sober men—came into the agency and
reported that white men and Utes had
surprised them and taken the prisoner.
They were terribly excited. The fate of
the murderer is only conjectured at this
time. The Utes are coming in as I close
this. They seem quiet I tbink the
peril is over, unless some attempt should
be made to discover the rescuers of
yesterday. If that is done I cannot see
the end. The only thing that will save
the treaty, save blood and secure peace
is to let the matter rest where it is and
make payment without delay.”
No one can take Dr. Tutt’s Pills and re
main long unwell. They increase the pow
ers of Digestion, and excite the absorbents
to action. The old stereotyped opinion
that Calomel must be used “to carry off the
Bile” has given away before the light of
science. The Vegetable Kingdom furnishes
a remedy free from all deleterious effects.
Such are Tutt’s Pills.

New York, October 22.—A London spe

livered by the King of Hellenes at the open
ing of the Chambers yesterday, “that it Is
regarded in London as a distinct declara
tion of war against Turkey, and as such has
made a great sensation. The secret of King
George’s boldness is rightly ascribed to the
English support which he has recently re
ceived, and which he has grounds to expect
when the clash of arms comes. I am in
formed on reliable authority, that if the
Sultan does not give way iu the Dulcigno
complications by Monday, an active hostile
British fl-et will sail Into Turkish wa
ters without delay. Public faith lu Mr.
Gladstone’s Eastern policy is unabated.”
Paris, October 22.—It is announced from
Vienna that in view of the difficulties
raised by the Porte, Austria, France and
Italy have instructed their Ambassadors at
Constantinople to remind the Sultan that
his promise was that the surrender of Dul
cigno ohould be unconditional.
London, October 22 —A dispatch from
Paris to tbeJZfriies says: “The powershaving
immediately protested against the condi
tions communicated by the Turkish nego
tiators as quite contrary to the original
promise to surrender Dulcigno, the Porte
seems to have disavowed the action of Riza
Pasha, and negotiations have been resumed
on a basis more conformable with the neces
sities of the situation.”

The Issue of the Day.
Washington Star.
On the tariff issue, fairly put. the
Democratic party could not have been
beaten in Indiana.
On this issue, honestly stated and fully
discussed, the Democratic party can
carry Indiana, and enough other States
to give them a decisive triumph in No
vember.
The mechanics and laborers employed
in the manufacturing establishments of
Ohio and Indiana were told that the
Democraiic party was committdd to free
trade. They were solemnly assured that
the abolition of duties, and closing of
factories and shops, would inevitably re
sult from a Democratic victory this year.
Pathetic pictures of the distress that
would prevail were drawn by hundreds
of stump speakers. The press of the
State and millions of campaign docu
ments aided in the work of deception
by the dissemination of cunningly de
vised lies.
The work was pushed with desperate
energy, and there was no time to de
stroy’ its effect with antidotal truth.
Thousands of men who are in full sym
pathy with the Democratic demand for
revenue reform were thus induced, by a
false conception of self interest, to vote
against their principles and the candi
dates of their party.
The first duty of the Democratic press
and speakers is to put before the coun
try and into the ears of voters the issue
of a tariff for revenue and a tariff for
protection. The men who have been
deluded by falsehood must be set right
by facts. The absurdity of the lie that
the Democratic policy is inimical to man
ufacturers or any other branch of busi
ness must be demonstrated, and all this
can be done speedily and thoroughly, for
the question is a simple one. The Dem
ocratic doctrine is so self evidently just
that no long arguments arc needed in its
support
There is nothing in the Cincinnati plat
form that even remotely suggests a re
diiction of the tariff as a whole. We
have the annual expenses of the govern
ment, tbe interest and principal of the
public debt to pay. To m- et these una
voidable expenditures we have but two
sources of income—internal revenue tax
and the tariff. The former is as heavy
as it ought to be. There is no party that
advocates an increase of burden in that
direction. We are compelled, therefore,
to raise as much money from duties on
imports as we have for years past. This
compulsion will continue so long as we
have a public debt on our hands, and
that must be a good many years, under
the most favorable conditions.
The Republican party proposes to
make the protection of monopolies the
central idea of the tariff.
The Democratic party proposes to raise
the desired income with the least possi
ble burden on the people.
The Democratic statesman inquires,
“How can we adjust this tax so as to
bear equitably on all interests and thus
avoid class legislation? ’
The Republican politician inquires,
“Which monopolies is it for the interest
of our party to protect by fencing out
competition and permitting them to rob
the people by fixing three or four prices
on their wares?”
This is the difference between the two
parties on the tariff question. The
Democrats offer all needful protection in
fixing a tariff for revenue. The Repub
licans propose to rob labor for the benefit
of rings.
Let this issue be pushed in Indiana
and throughout the country. It will
ruin the party that has just gained a
temporary advantage by using it dis
honestly.
One of the first steps in this short,
sharp and decisive campaign, should be
a letter from Gen. Hancock setting forth
the Democratic position on the tariff.
He can lhu9 destroy the flimsy structure
of falsehood created by the opposition as
effectually as he blew their rebel claims
scarecrow out of the field.
A “Funny” Ohio Editor.—Among
the editors of Ohio who rejoice exceed
ingly over the October results was an
otherwise unhappy creature named
Cowles, of the Cleveland leader. Na
ture has been unkind to Cowles. The
toad, ugly and venomous, may wear yet
a precious jewel in its head, but Qowlea
has not been permitted an equipment
for his, in the matter of brains, equaling
that given the meanest of mankind.
Cowles plastered a page of his paper with
ludicrous cuts, descriptive, as he proba
bly fancied, of the deep dejection of the
editor of the Bourbon organ in Cleve
land. It was sorry journalism, but no
one, unless, perhaps, the regular sub
scribers of his paper, complained, and
he sought, therefore, to reach his edito
rial adversary directly. He plucked
every feather from a living rooster and
sent this victim of his cruelty to the
editor of the Plaindealer, with a letter,
designed to be facetious, wherein he said
that, the bird having been sent him from
Indiana, he begged to forward it where
manifestly it belonged.—Chicago Times.
Miss Kate Field, so Mrs. Lucy Hooper
writes, has been the recipient of a great
compliment from Worth, who never
makes up a lady’s own materials. Miss
Field, however, brought from home
sotne American black silk which the re
nowned milliner has fashioned into an
elaborate costume. It is further stated
that French silk has become so inferior
in quality and American silk so superior,
that several Parisian ladies have resolved
to send to America this season for black
silks, despairing of ever finding again a
really good and durable article in the
Parisian market.
THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.
A Careful Review of the Democratic
Prospect*—We Can Win W'lthoi t
Indiana—No Danger of Losing the
Senate or House.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Before the October elections the Plain
Dealer, in discussing the political situa
tion, took occasion to say that while the
loss of Indiana would be fatal to the
Republicans the Democrats could spare
it and still possess more chances of suc
cess in November than their opponents.
Now that it has been lost to the Demo
crats, we reiterate the opinion then ex
pressed. If Indiana had gone Demo
cratic, it would have ended the battle
by common consent, because without it
the Republicans could not hope to ob
tain a majority of the electoral vote.
Considering, for the purpose of argu
ment, that it wiil remain Republican in
November, it leaves the Democrats still
in possession of more points in the game
than their opponents have. The real
battle of the campaign is yet to be
fought, and the battle-ground changes to
other States, with the odds greatly in
favor of the Democrats. The situation
may be thus stated : The following
States are reasonably certain to give
their electoral vote to Garfield :

The following may be counted as cer

Adding the doubtful Democratic to
the certain Democratic States and we
have, as the totai electoral vote that Gen
eral Hancock has the best chances for
receiving, 200.
Adding the doubtful Republican to
the certain Republican vote and we have,
as the sum total of Garfield’s chances,
103; necessary to a choice 185. In this
table we have tried to state the case
fairly, and believe it represents the situ
ation just as it is. It will be seen that
the Democrats, cotwith -tanding the loss
of Indiana, still have the odds in their
favor. There are one hundred and
thirty-two votes counted as certain for
Hancock, aud are his beyond any dis
pute, and no Republican will think of
claiming any one of them. The same
may be said of the Sates
casting one hundred and forty
two votes for Garfield, although there
are Democrats who would put Pennsyl
vania, Illinois and Wisconsin in tbe
doubtful group, but we do not believe
with good reason. The group of six
doubtful States which will be fought for
desperately by both parties, embrace
those which are inclined more to be Dem
ocratic than Republican, and all, or the
greater part of which the Democrats may
fairly expect to carry. Let us examine
them in detail: New Y'ork is a Demo
cratic State, and, although the Republi
cans will make a desperate fight for it, the
chances are strongly against them. Til
den carried it four years ago by a majori
ty of 33,000, and it has been Democratic
with but two exceptions since 1868, and,
in the case of these exceptions the party
was divided. With a united parly, such
as the Democratic party now is, it can
hardly fail to give a Democratic majority
in November.” Virginia has usually been
classed with the certain Democratic
States, and Republicans have always
conceded it. But since their victory in
Indiana, and because there is a division
in the Democratic party in Virginia, the
Republicans have been claiming that
they will secure its electoral vote, and
will, no doubt, make an attempt in that
direction. For this reason we have
grouped it with the doubtful States, but
there is very little question that its elec
toral vote will go to Hancock. The
same thing may be said of Florida. Con
necticut is the most doubtful of the
group. Four years ago Tilden carried
the State by nearly 3,000 majority, and
although generally Democratic, it lias a
trick of going F.epublican sometimes.
With hard work this year it may be
counted on as probable to go Democratic.
Indiana was carried by the Republicans
last Tuesday by about 6,000 majority. It
may’ go the same way in November, but
the chances are that it will not. Nevada
went for Hayes in 1876 by 1,000 major
ity, but on account of certain dissen
sions in the party there now, will proba
bly go Democratic in November.
Taken altogether, there is very little
doubt that the Democrats will carry
New York, Virginia, Florida and Con
necticut, which will give them one hun
dred and eighty-eight electoral votes, or
three more than enough to elect, and
with excellent chances to add to these
eighteen votes of Nevada and Indiana.
They might lose Virginia, and by means
of Indiana’s fifteen still elect Hancock,
or might lose Virginia and Connecticut
and win with Indiana and Nevada.
They can lose Indiana and still have
votes enough and to spare. Of the
doubtful Republican States, California
may be set down as very doubtful, with
chances about evenly balanced. The
Democrats are much more likely to carry
it than the Republicans are to carry
either Indiana or Connecticut.
New Hampshire is usually Republican,
but by a small majority. The Democrats
have an unusually strong ticket there
and may overcome it.
Oregon is most likely to go Republican,
although it is as likely to go Democratic
as Florida is Republican.
Maine was carried by the Fusionists
in September by about 300 majority. It
is about as likely to go one waj’ as the
other in November. It is fair fighting
ground for both parties. It may fairly
offset Connecticut in the list of doubtful
Democratic States. If the Republicans
carry all these States they will lack
twenty-five votes of a majority, and the
chances that they will do so are anything
but as good as that the Democrats will
carry all doubtful States set down in
their oolumn. The situation is a hope

Belknap aud Mrs. Greene eloped to
gether, at Melrosa, Wis. They drove a
good horso rapidly, but had not gone
more than ten miles before they heard a
clatter of hoofs behind. Greene had
hastily mounted and started in pursuit.
The race was long and exciting, but the
husband at length rode alongside the pair,
cocked a pistol, and commanded a halt.
Belknap was abject with terror. “You
may have your wife, Mr. Greene,” he
said. “I don't want her,” Greene re
plied; “you don’t think I’ve chased you
like mad to get her back? Oh, no. But
I’ll take my dollar and a half that she’s
got in her pocket.” The money was
given up, and the elopement proceeded
quietly.
The wedding guests were assembled to

Canby.

Ex Congressman Clarkson N. Potter
addressed the Constitutional Association
at No. 436 Fulton street, Brooklyn. Mon
day night, speaking for two hours on the
issues of the campaign. “Having over
come the trials and disasters of the past
four years,” he said, “it is the duty of
every American citizen to look squarely
in the face the dangers.which threaten us
from an oligarchy of office holders.
When this government was formed cer
tain provisions were made for disband
ing the regular army in time of peace,
but when they looked after the standing
army they forgot another standing army
that is surrounding us from all quarters.
Year by year the country has grown and
become centralized from many causes,
until to day there are under the
Federal Government from 100,000 to
150.000 men holding office directly
under the patronage of the President.
It was impossible in the olden time to
discipline a Postmaster in Louisiana,
owing to the lencth of time taken in
writing letters and receiving answers,
so the "duty of giving away ils offices in
every State was given to some one in
each State, who bestowed them in the
name of the President. That was before
the telegraph. Now you can telegraph
from Oregon to the President that a
Postmaster is not keeping his shoulder
up to the wheel, and he is immediately
disciplined. There is no country in the
world that has so large a gift of office iu
the hands of one man.” Air. Potter then
showed how every officeholder influ
ences at least three votes, which, besides
his own, and estimating the number ot
officeholders at 110,000, made an inter
ested vote throughout the country of
440,000. Mr. Potter spoke of the con
tributions levied on these men, “a vast
sum contributed to keep the people of
the United States from deciding whom
they shall have for President.'*
Continuing, he said: “You can have
civil service in the United States
when you have it by law and take
the power of patronage from the Presi
dent. The men who work to elect a
man expect to be rewarded, and while
the power is centralized there will al
ways be this vast army at the back of
the party in power. Unless something is
done, trouble will come from it. Year
by year the army becomes larger. Web
ster said that if ever this office patronage
reached 40,000 the country would be in
danger, aud now it is nearly thrice that
number.” Mr. Potter gave a short his
tory of the elections in Louisiana during
the years 1874 and 1876, of which he
had personal experience, and demon
stratcAl that the colored voters instead of
l>eing Republicans were in reality Demo
crats, and when left alone voted the
Democratic ticket. On the tariff ques
tion he said he did not favor a general
taking off of duties, but what he wanted
was a just and equitable tariff instead of
the one now in use. He did not think
howeveVhat there would be a change in
the tariff, whichever party was success
ful, because from different sections of
the country come men lo Congress who
have certain articles which they wish to
t rotect, and when the bills come before
the House nothing can be agreed upon
because every one wants something add
ed to the protective list. Mr. Potter ad
vised a change of government at certain
periods for the good of the people.
"There is no housekeeper,” he said, “who
does not once in twenty years or oftener
take up her carpet, put it OQt on the line
and beat it, and after that she looks for
what was under it. When we change
this administration carpet we shall find
more under it than we have ever dreamed
of.” In conclusion Air. Potter said: “This
year, no matter what the result of the
election may be, you will find more than
500,000 popular majority for Hancock
and English throughout the United
States.”
A MOST HORRIBLE CRIME.
How a Mexican ITIurdered Hi* Wife
and Babe.
Antonio Mestes, a Mexican, of Here
ford county, Colorado, murdered his
wife and babe most horribly a few days
ago. He first knocked the woman down
with a club, and then seized a knife, and
with it savagely lacerated her body, cut
ting immense pieces of flesh. He then
took the still living cliild from her,
which he dashed^ to the floor and
stamped upon until life was extinct
After this he took the body of
his wife almost apart, and, after
further mutilations, tied. He was found
near his old home, and placed in the
school house, for safe keeping, with a
guard of two men. It having become
generally known that he had been over
taken. and his whereabouts being ascer
tained, a body of sixty men was soon
got together. They marched to the
school hou-e, about 10 o’clock at night,
and taking him out proceeded to admin
ister punishment to him for his crimes.
His body was mutilated in precisely the
same manner as was his wife’s, his scalp
w:i9 then lifted, a rope tied about the
man’s nick, tbe other end being attached
to the horn of a saddle, and he was then
dragged about on the ground until the
body was entirely unrecognizable.
