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 the home of the Taylors, which ib oil AiDry 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.

The liege lord, yet in the 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.
