“ After depositing his vote for Goal

ral Grant went to the house of E. B.
Waahburno, where arrangements had
been made to receive the telegraphic
returua. The first report was from
J." (I. Biatnd— * Maine pledged thirty
thousand majority, and she has kept
her faith? The next announcement
was received from Win. E. Chandler,
Soon >'4 >ort « cnaf(! inuhiek aim fast
fitua aIF par|s of the country, but as
yet they are varyftig. Many of the
friends of General Grant camo in, anx
ious to hoar the news. Much sport
was made bv tie General, who had
written out an edthnaW bf s the majori
ties for either candidates in the differ
ent States several days before. This
he allowed no one to sec except aa
efifth State was compared with his
estimate, and in nearly every State he
« roved a prophet. The two States
rst named gave exactly the majorities
ho had predicted, and the Presidential
candidate seemed much mote pleased
at his political sagacity thin nt his suc
cess. Indeed, during the evening he
manifested neither anxiety nor elation,
while every ouo else was excited as
ths returns came in. The “inevitable
cigar” was as indispensable as ever,
and,the calni which he had displayed
nt Vibksbuigand the Appomattox was
as conspicuous as it he had still been
at the head of a million soldiers.
“Galena, which had almost always
been strongly Democratic, and had
given McClellan a majority of 120,jn
i 1864, was announced ae Iraving&tje
mour’s own Deerfield. When Con
necticut was certain for the Union, the
whole room, .jGrant only expepted, ap
plauded, but soon the General was
doomed to a disappointment. He had
calculated on 53,000 majority 7 in Mas-,
sachusetts, but the old Bay State was
announced as giving him 75,000 ma
jority, and he acknowledged the error
in his calculation. As the evening
wore away, the success of the Repub
licans in Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana became sure. Messages from
Grow and Colfax declared that all
doubt about these States was passed.
Every New England State was now
certain.
“Michigan and California came into
line, the Pacific coast responding to the
Atlantic and the lakes, and West Vir
ginia, with an unexpectedly large ma
jority, took her place, while Nevada
and Nebraska reached across the Rocky
Mountains, hailing the Alleghanies.
Bands of music saluted the victor from
the streets; fireworks illuminated the
neighborhood, arid cannon announced
the peaceful victory of Grant. But
Grant was still as calm and impertur
bable as ever. His adherants were
elated, but his equanimity was undis
turbed. At length word was brought
thjt North Carolina was loyal once
more, the first Southern State that had
voted since 1860. The room was
crowded with Congressmen, judges,
town and country politicians, army
officers, reporters, all apparently more
eager than the man on whose account
they were gathered.”
“While they compared the returns,
and lingered to receive more, a despatch
arrived from Petroleum V. Nasby, who
forwarded his resignation as postmas
ter, and announced that he had gone
into the grocery business. After this
the torrent of news and congratulations
was incessent, interrupted only by the
comments of the little party, but more
than the requisite number of electoral
votes was now secure, and by degrees
the citizens dropped away, and a little
after midnight the president elect of
the United States retired from the
scene of his latest triumph as modestly
as he had left the little house at Appo
mattox, where four years ago he re
ceived the previous surrender of the
enemies of his country.”
[From the Galveston Civilian.
Texas.
The San Antonio Express gives an
account of an affair which shows how
very far the people of the Texas fron
tier are removed from the safeguards
thrown around the citizens by the
forms of the Constitution. Major
Thompson, of the murdered
on the frontier, some months since,
and the murderers escaped arrest and
punishment, though they were known.
The sparse population, desperate char
acter of the murderers and their
friends, and their facilities for evading
arrest by the military, prevented then
capture. The Express now gives an
account of an expedition made by
Captain Steelhammer, Company G,
.35th U. S. Infantry, with a portion of
his company, mounted and armed with
six shooters and Spencer carbines, in
pursuit of the murderers, who were
believed to be in and about Karnes
county. That paper says :
“The party-proceeded fc> the viqiiiifyof

Ecleto,. in Karnes county, some sixtf taffes
south of herfi, arriving In striking distance
about 2 o’clock Thursday morning. The
night was intensely dark. At half-past 3
o’clock the little baud, led by their brave
Captain, proceeded to the house, which is a
double log house and passage, where it was
discovered seven men were sleeping in the
passage in their clothing and with blankets.
The Captain stepped bn to the notch and
connhanded them, in the name of Hie United
States, to surrender, to which they replied:
‘ Yes, we surrender.’ The Captain ordered a
light to be struck, a soldier obeying.
The moment the light was made, the pre
tended sleepers commenced tiring rapidly
with their six-shooters, mosl oLthem being
difectly toward the captain. The soldiers
immediately refcmfi the firaf aim, bsing m.
perfect readiness, did excellent execution. A
noted horse-thief, named Bennett Winfield,
fell (the desperadoes having their
feit), pierced, through tiki head afid heart.
Another, calling himself Buck Roland, fell,
shot in Hie groin. Another, supposed to be
Hays Taylor, ran frotii the house, the blood
gushing froni bis nose and mouth in streams.
A fourth, thought to be DaUpy-TayJor, the
man who shdt Major Thomprfin, dm,tbut fell

a rude, jolting mail-hack ride from

activity of life* hnd nothing in his
appearance or demeanor to attract
any other notice than that usually
accorded to a gentleman. The lady
—And s]ie was evidently a lady in
the true sense—while apparently re
joicing in the very exuberance of
health to the discerning and expe
rienced eye, was manifestly not well
at ease with herself, after her dis
grunting mountain ride. She cer
tainly took nb pains to affect the
“ Grecian bend.”
“ All aboard !” cries Henry Lyle.
Clnng, clang, goes the bell; toot, toot,
the whistle, and away goes the train,
Now in that car—-yvq mean the car
in which our couple are seated—were
all maimer of folk, the grandpa, the
grandma, the pa, the ma, but, better
than all, sometliing less than a dozen
of those unpluckea blossoms of maid
eijJjdojlj wit|i whom the realities of
matrimony were as the arcana of the
Fates. Not a few nice moustached
young products of the tailor and bar
her were, around, to catch the fragrance
of the blossoms aforesaid.
The train sped on—our couple rested
cosily together in their double-scat.
The rough ride from Asheviric, for the
nonce was forgotten. Alas, it was
only forgotten to give way to present
misery. What can it mean ? The con
ductor is called, and Henry Lyle,
always prompt to relieve the distressed,
is on haud. Being a man of quick
perception, and blest withal with some
experience in matters matrimonial, a
short private interview determined his
course of treatment.
“All the will please move
to the ibrwafd car,” was the gentle
edict.
“What’sthe matter? Is anything
wrong?” cried tbe maidens.
A Shake of the head, and a few ter
rific frowns from a motherly dame
awed them into silence.
“Why all this Mr. Conductor ?”
deferentially exclaimed they of the
moustache and gold chain.
“All the gentlemen focioardatonce,"
persisted Henry.
“Yes, go on right now,” cried she
of the cap-strings. “Don’t be stoppin’,
but go right along! Rig things are
goin on here!"
And they did go forward, without
knowing why. A blanket was hung
up over the glass door of that car.—
Ilenry Lyle was hunting a doctor at
every wood-yard I The banished males
were not re-admitted to that ear. The
young ladies didn’t get out of that
car. E-heu !
