Speaker Carlisle Defeated bjr a Wood-Carter, anil ■orrlaon, of Ulliioia, ls-ft at Home (Hum anil Aghaat—The Ueinorrata Loae Six ConpreaNinen la Ohio and i’lte In Virginia, But They Still Hold the Fort-What Cleteland'a Little Hatchet ofcitll Nervlre Ueform Has Hewed Out Tor Ilia Party. Staunton, Va., November 3.—In Augusta the democratic majority is less than 800; a republican gain of 700. Rock bridge is republican by 400—a republican gain of 400. Alleghany is republican by 300—a republican gain of 100. The demo crats claim Amherst by 300; the republi cans claim a gain of300. The returns from other counties show the republican gains to be heavy and uniform. Yost, republi can, carried hiB district by 1000 majority. Winchester, Va.. November 3.—The official majority for O’Ferell in Frederick county outside of the city of Winchester is 695. Richmond, November 3.—It is confident ly asserted this morning that Yast, repub lican, is elected in the 10th congressional district by from 1000 to 1600 majority. The democrats carried the district in 1884 by 1187 majority. This makes a republican gain of two congressmen, with the 1st, Sth and 9th districts in doubt. These districts were carried by the democrats In 1884. The probabilities are that the republicans will carry the 9th district and may carry the first district. In the 6th district the vote 1b very close,and so far no just estimate oan be made. * Winchester, iNovember 3.—O’Ferall telegraphs his mends that he is elected by a majority of between 800 and 1000. Harrisonburg, Va., November 3.— O’Ferrall, democrat, carries this 'district over Roller, independent, by from 000 to 800—a loss of 2800 as compared with the last congressional vote. Lynchburg, Va., November 3.—Hop kins, the labor candidate, is undoubtedly elected to congress from the sixth district over Griffin, the regular democrat Staunton, Novembers.—Yost (republi can) will, carry this district by not less than 1700, a republican gain ot 3000. Bumgardener’s democratic majorities are as follows: Augusta 216, Bath fifty, Am herst 224, Nelson thirty-seven. Yost’s re publican maojrities are: Allegheny 394, Rookbridge 403. Appomatox 204, Cumber land and Buckingham 125, Highland and Fluvanna a tie. Richmond, November 8.—All the re turns received to-day serve only to add to the crushing defeat sustained bv the democracy of Virginia yesterday. There has been a great falling off in their vote throughout the state, and their los-es in all the districts have been almost phenomenal. Of the ten dis trict, in the state the republicans carried six and the democrats three aud the labor par- tyone, being a net loss of five congressmen to the democrats. The Virginia delegation in the next congress will be as follows: First district, T. II. II. Brown, republican; second, Geo. E. Bowden, republican; third, Geo. D. Wise, democrat; fourth, Wm. E. Gains, republican; filth, John R. Brown, republican; sixth, Samuel I. Hopkins, labor; seventh, Chus. T. Ofarrall, democrat; eighth, W. H. F. Lae, democrat; ninth, Henry C. Bowen, republican; tenth, Jacob Yost, republican. ILLINOIS. Chicago, November 2.—Returns from Illinois are very meagre but indicate that the legislature is very much mixed. From the very incomplete returns obtained from the districts outside of Chicago the republicans appear to have the advantage but the possibility of election of two socialists senators and several members of the house in Chicago places the political complexion of the new general assembly in doubt. It looks now as if the labor party would at least hold the’ balance of power, but complete returns may give the assembly to the republicans. Sr. Louis. November 3.—The latest re turns from the eighteenth Illinois congres sional district indicate that Morrison, democrat, has been defeated by John Buker, republican. Returns are still in complete, but St. Clair, Morrison’s strong hold, went for Baker. and it is generally thought that he will be the next congress man from the eighteenth district. A dis patch was received on change this after noon purporting to come from Morrison stating that he conceded his defeat. Baker’s majority is now placed at 1000. He has made a very active canvass of the district and devoted the greater part of his energies to addressing workingmen and appealing to various labor organizations. He approved the latter’s cogrSe, and his protection principles as opposed to Mor rison’s tendency to free trade, it is said, captured their votes, which doubtless elected him. Baker represented the eighteenth district in congress some years ago. Chicago, November 3.—The constitu tional amendment abolishing the contract svstem of prison labor in Illinois is be lieved to be adopted. The vote for it in all the large cities was practically unanimous, and advices thus far received from the {Country indicate that the opposition to it among farmers was not nearly so strong as, labor men feared. Chicago, November 3.—The republican plurality in Illinois for state treasurer Head of that ticket is estimated at from 23,000 to 27,000. The results on the con gressional candidates up to this evening was only a matter of doubt in the second, tenth, eleventh, thirteenth and sixteenth districts. In the second the contest be tween Lawler and Gleason, (labor), is very close; one computation of unofficial re turns elects Gleason by 18 votes. The re publicans claim that Gest (republican) has defeated Neece (democrat) in the elev enth district by 400, and also assert that Gen. Post (republican) has defeated Worthington in the tenth district. Both republicans and democrats claim the election in the thirteenth (Springer’s) dis trict. The vote in the sixteenth is very close. The republicans have gained a con- f essman in the second district, William Mason, and one in Morrison’s (the eighteenth district—Jehu Baker. The tenth, eleventh, thirteenth and sixteenth are at present represented by democrats, and if the republicans,Iclaims to carrying three of them should be verified, the net republican gain in the s ate would be five congreMinen, and if Gleason’B claim to an election in the second is verified the demo crats would lose six districts in all. Chicago, November 3.—Complete re turns show that the next Illinois legisla ture will stand as follows: Senate, repub licans 32, democrats 18, united labor 1; house, republicans 78, democrats 66, labor 7, prohibitionist 2. Later advices show definitely that Gist, republican, is elected in the eleventh dis trict bv 400 majority over Neece, demo crat. In the tenth district General Po.it, republican, claims a majority of 53 over Worthington. The defeat of Morrison is conceded by the democrats. In reply to a telegram, _ Morrison himself admits his defeat, adding, ‘ But I | do not care to say anything of the methods i employed to obtain the m-.jnrity for Ba ker.” Baker’s majority is Vito Full official (•returns in tho thirteenth district give Springer, democrat, a majority of733 over j Connally, republican, Springer telegraphs as follows over his own signature: “Com- ! plete unofficial but reliable returns from all the counties ii» -- the district give me nearly 800 majority, 1 attribute my reduced majority to the efforts of tariff monopolists outside of the district. The effective opposition was so secret that I was unable to detect it, and where dan ger was least feared the loss was greatest. Those disappointed on account of public patronage contributed in some degree to reduce my former majority, but such influ ence was insignificant in comparison with the opposition from protectionists.” WEST VIRGINIA,.. . Wheeling, W. Va., November 3.— Goff’s majority in Ohio county is eignty- six. His majority in the district will prob ably be from 800 to 1000. The members elected to the legislature from Ohio county are: Whitaker, republican, Woods, Gor don and Mason, democrats. The vote is very close in the second and third congres sional districts, with a small chance for Flick and Brown, republican candidates. Hogg, democrat, is elected in the fourth district. NORTH CAROLINA. Raleigh, November 3.—In the fourth district Nichols, independent republican, is elected over Graham, democrat, and in the fifth Brower, republican, over Reid, democrat. The second district is still in doubt. The republicans and independents have made large gains iu the legislature. SOUTH CAROLINA. Charleston, November 3.—The inde- S endent tickets are defeated in Chester- eld and Berkeley, and Elliott, democrat, is apparently elected in the seventh dis trict over Smalls, republican, giving South Carolina a solid democratic delegation in the next congress. FLORIDA. Pensacola, November 3.—The endorse ment of Pendleton, bolting democrat, by the republicans at the last moment and the’support of the Knights of Labor disar ranged previous party lines. Davidson, the regular democrat is beaten 1200 in this county: but will be elected, the indications being that this is the only county in the district against him. The republicans voted solid against ratifying the constitu tion. Under Governor Perry’s lead two years ago thiR county went democratic, though it is really republican. 11 Jacksonville, Fla., November 3.—Full- efrffetllrns indicate the election of Dough erty, democrat, in the second district by 2800 plurality over Greely, republican,who f oiled only about 200 votes in the district, n the first district Davidson, democrat, is elected by about 3000 majority over Pen dleton. republican. The new constitution is ratified by about 10.000 majority. MISSOURI. St. Louis, November 3.—Returns from yesterday's election are still incomplete, but enough has been received to show that the entire democratic state ticket has been eldraed. In this oity the majority is about 3000. The constitutional amend meat, hav ing for its object the letrying of a special tax of fifteen mills on the foliar foyoad and street improvement, has a majority of about 26,000 against in the city. The dem ocrats captured nearly every office in the city, the only decided republican majority being that of Wm. A. Hobbs, candidate for recorder of deeds. His 1 majority over the democratic nominee is about 2000. The contest for sheriff, between Mason, republican, and Harrington, democrat, is very close, and the official count will prob ably be necessary to decide definitely who was elected. Unrevised returns give the republican candidate a majority of 25. WISCONSIN. Milwaukee, November 3 —Though re turns from the rural towns will continue to struggle in for several days vet the gen eral result is no longer in doubt The re publicans have elected Governor Rusk by not less than 22,000 plurality over Wood ward (democrat), and it is probable that it will turn out to be 25,000. Chairman Taylor, of the republican state central committee places it at 22,000. These fig ures are based on returns from about five- sixths of the precincts in the state. The gains arc principally in strong democratic districts. There are republican gains in all but a few counties of Hie state. For governor the repbuliean plu rality over the democratic vote has been increased even in the Milwaukee district where the labor move ment has been strongest. The legislature will have a republican majority on a joint ballot of 29 over the democrats and labor representatives. The senate stands 25 re publicans to 7 democrats and 1 people’s party man. The assembly has 57 republi cans, ,50 democrats and 5 people’s party men; The people’s party representatives will probably act with the democrats. The republicans" lose 3 assembly seats. The congressional delegation' will probably stand 7 republicans, 1 democrat and 1 people’s party man. Though the first is in doubt. The returns are so meagre that it is not possible to tell whether James Doalittle defeated Caspell. The republicans have gained the second, General Bragg’s old district, where the democrats are defeated by Guenther by at least 3000. Guenther has heretofore represented the sixth district in congress and is still a resident of the latter. Thfe majority of Budd, democrat, in the fifth district, has been slightly reduced. In the fourth (Milwaukee) district, which has been represented by a republican, Henry Smith, the people’s party candidate, has 3500 plurality. If Caswell is re-elected in the first, the republicans gain one and lose one. The democrats lose one and the people’s party secure one congressman. 8t. Paul. November 3, 6 p. m.—The entire republican state ticket has been elected in Minnesota by 10,000 to 13,000 majority. W. R. Argile, for governor, runs behind the rest of the ti ket some- ! what. A. E. Rice, for lieutenant-governor, j will have about 25,000 majority. In the first congressional district Judge William | Wilson, democrat, is certainly elected by 1 about 1200 majority over John O. Lovely, j republican. The district heretofore has ! been republican. Judge Wilson succeeds j Milo White in the second district: i John Linder, independent, is elected j by 800 majority over A. C. Bullis, j democrat, and succeeds ex-Gov. Wake- ; field. In the third district Judge J. L. Mc Donald, democrat, has beaten B. B. Her- j bert, republican, bv 500 majority, aud sue- ' coeds Major Horace B. Strait, republican, i In the fourth, while important returns are : still out, it seems pretty certain that Major , Edmund Rice, democrat, has defeated T. j B Gilfillan, republican candidate for re- election, by about 1000 majority. In the fifth, Knute Nelson, republican, no opposi tion, is re-elected—gettin 12,000 votes. On ■ a joint ballot the republicans will probably have a safe working majority in the state legislature, though it is possible the Farmers’ Alliance may hold the balance of power, fhe alliance has been one of the most serious influences a - feeling the republican vote. The vote ol the prohibition state ticket while larger than ever before polled for prohibition in this state,iis still too small to cut any figure -xceut in isolated districts, j The hulk of it has come from democrats not in sympathy with the low license platform ot then- party. It is yet too early to forecast the vote of the legislature on high license or United States senator. The reduced vote of the republican party 041 stat e and con gressional tickets is, it is claimed, quite as much due to the dissension of the party in the state convention as to the vigorous fight made by the democrats. For the first time in tho history of the state the democrats are greatly elated. IOWA. Dus Moines, November 3.—Additional returns indicate that the republican ma jority on the state ticket wilt reach 10,000 and probably go higher. Tne republicans hnve elected eight congressmen. These are Gear in the first, Henderson in the t hird, Fuller in the fourth, Kerr hi the fifth. Conger in the seventh, Lyman in tho ninth, Holmes in the tenth and Strubel in the eleventh. The democrats elect Hages in the second by probably 1500 majority: Weaver iu the sixth by 460 majority, ana Alderson in the eighth by upwards of.1000 majority. Gear’s majority in the first dis trict is at least 500; Fuller’s in the fourth is 1200; Conger’s in the seventh is 900 or 1000; Lyman’s in the ninth probably 400; Henderson’s in the third 2000. Other re publicans have the usual majorities. TKNNKHNKU. Chattanooga, Tenn., November 3.— There are official returns from nine oflt of sixteen districts. In the third congressional district unofficial returns from the entire district give Neal, democrat, fifty-three majority. Neal’s majority will reach about 550. Dispatches to tile Times from the first district give Gen. Butler, republican, 2500 majority. Pugh, republican, is re elected in the second district by 5000 ma jority. Tennessee gains one democratic congressman. Gen. George Wheeler is re elected from the eighth Alabama district by 3000 majority. Belleville, 111., November 3.—The re sult of the election in Morrison’s district is a general surprise throughout the dis trict, particularly to democrats, and a monster jubilee was held at Belleville by the republicans to-night. Morrison car ried his district two years ago by 2582 ma jority. Knoxville, Tenn., November 3.—But ler, republican, for congress, has been elected In the first district by 3000 majority. In the second district L. C. Houk, republi can, and present incumbent, has a major ity of 8000 over Herskill, demoorat. NEW HAMPHHIBK. Concord, N. H., November 3.—Returns from all but forty towns and wards in the state .give Sawyer, republican, for gover nor. 33 422; Cogswell, 33,174; Wentworth, prohibition, 1378; Carpenter, greenbacker, 116. The towns to hear from will increase Cogswell’s vote so that it will exceed Saw yers. The total vote of the state for gov ernor will be less by nearly 14,000 than the vote of 1884 The result in the fi.st con gressional district is still in doubt, with a contest in favor of McKinney, although the republican state committee do not concede Hayne’s defeat. Gallinger, repub lican, in the second district, is elected by a reduced plurality. The senate is republi can by 16 to 10, although there is some doubt of a chance in one or two districts, and the house is republican by a good working majority. ALABAMA., BIRMINGHAM," November 8.—Returns from the sixth district are meagre and tardy in coming in. There is now no doubt from indications that Bankhead’s (dein.) majority in the district over Long, repub lican, will reach 2500. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia, November 3.—Returns from all the counties in the state except Elk, Fulton, Union and Miffiin makes Beaver’s plurality 49.240. Philadelphia, November 3.—The new delegation to congress from Pennsylvania will consist of nineteen republicans includ ing Brumm, republican greenbacker, and nine democrats. The present delegation is composed of twenty republicans, includ ing Brumm and eight democrats. All the prominent members of the present dele gation are returned excepting Boyle, demo crat, who is succeeded by a republican. Among the new members is Ex-Senator Onus R. Buikalow, democrat. Omaha, Noveniner 3.—The returns in complete indicate a reduced republican majority 0:1 the state ticket. The majority may reach 20,000. The republican can didate in the second and third congres sional districts are elected by majorities ranging from 500 to 600. There was a com plete fUvolutian in the first district, which gave Blaine over 2000 majority, and now eleels J. McShane, democrat, by over 5000 majority. This county, (Douglass) which gave Blaine’s 900 majority, gives McShane 6300 majority. Church, republican, carries only three out of seven counties in the dis trict, of which only one had previously been democratic. The legislature will be two-thirds republican. Accounts so far received indicate the election of a large number 1 of members instructed for Van Wyck. A heavy vote was B oiled for Van Wyck as preference for nited States senator. But it is not known whether the majority of the voters ex pressed a preference. Douglass county, including Omaha, elects two republicans to the state senate, and four members of the house are republicans while four are democrats. The republican members from this county are all Van Wyck men. Mississippi. Jackson, Miss., November 3.—All par ties concede the election of the solid demo cratic delegation to congress from Missis sippi, INDIANA. Indianapolis, November 3.—At 10 o’clock the returns from this state indi cated the election of the republican state ticket.The legislative ticket is still in doubt, owing ‘qtlie diversity of interests involved. It may not be definitely known until to morrow what tiie result is in this (Marion) county. The republicans have been beat en, except possibly on a part of their legis lative ticket. The congressional delega tion will probably stund 6 republicans and 7 democrats—a republican gain of 3. Indianapolis, Ind., November 3.—The republicans claim the election of seven congressmen, as follows: liovev in the | first district—a gain; Brown in the sixth; j Johnston in the eighth, Chendle in the ] ninth—a gain; Owen in the tenth; Steele in j the eleventh and White in the twelfth—a gain. The majority for Lowery, democrat, in the twelfth district two years ago was i 2550. KENTUCKY. Cincinnati, November 3.—The Btart- j ling fact of the defeat of Speaker Carlisle 1 was foreshadowed in the returns received [ last night. From the returns to-day Speak er Carlisle himself this afternoon concedes | his defeat. His successful competitor is ; Geo. H. Thoebe, a native Kentuckian, ; though of foreign parentage. He is an artist in wood curving, and has been cm- : ployed in Mitchell & Ramlellsburg’s furni ture manufactory in this city. He is do- 1 scribed as an agitator lit to lie a leader among workingmen. There was so Tittle generul knowledge of the extent of bis popularity that no one dreamed of his election. It was said, however, by the Covington Common wealth a few days before the election that Thoebe had a ’strong following among workingmen, based largely upon their ob jection to tne free trade leaning of Speaker Carlisle, and it was intimated that some thing of a surprise was in store. Other papers indicate that Carlisle suffered seri ously from democratic disaffection, grow ing out of Ids course in relation to govern ment appointment* in his district. Covington, Ky., Novembers.—Speaker Carlisle is defeated by 250 majority. 4 MKMKI4N. Detroit, November 3.—An extra edition of the Free Press this morning concedes the legislature to the republicans, and says the result on the state ticket is (still in doubt with the chances in favor of the fusion candidates. NEBRASKA. New York, November 3.—A Western Union dispatch in rugard to Nebraska says: Scattering returns indicate the elec tion of the entire republican ticket by 20,000 majority, except the congressman in the first district, who is defeated by from 1000 to 15(X). The democratic central com mittee claim large gains in the legislature. The returns as yet are meagre. Omaha, Neb., November 3.—Tho latest returns show that John A. McShane, democratic candidate for congress In the first district, is elected by over 3500 majority over Church Howe, republican. CALIFORNIA. San Francisco, November 3.—Tiie count aa reported at midnight last night nd| including San Francisco, gives Swift, republican, for governor 12,660, Bartlett, dent locrat, 11,443. The indications are that the republicans have carried all six con gressional districts as well as the legisla ture by a small majority. MINNESOTA. St. Paul, November 3.—It looks very much this morning as though the demo crats \vl|l elect three out of.nVe congress men in this state. Steel aud Olmstead counties iu the first district, usually rc- S ublican, have gone democratic, making , probable that William Williamson, democrat, has defeated J. T. Lovely, re publican. It is not likely that McGill’s majority for governor will bo less than 10,W0, as most of the reliable republican strongholds are yet to be heard from. At this hour there is uotbing definite known. MONTANA. Helena, Mont., November 3.—Toole, democrat, has been re-clccted to congress by about 1400 majority. OHIO. Cincinnati, November 3.—There are oply two congressional districts in this state which may be classed as doubtful. These are the seventh and fifteenth. In the seventh Campbell, tho democratic nominee, has an unofficial majority of 81. In the fifteenth Monroe county has not been heard from. The majority ofGros- venor, the republican candidate, outside of Monroe county is 3005. If Monroe county should give Warner a majority ex ceeding this he would be elected, but it 1h not likely that the democratic majority in this county will go above 3000’ Boothman, republican, in the sixth has an unofficial majority over Hill of 1542. The following is a list of the successful candi dates : George Campbell of the seventh district and Grosvenor of the fifteenth, re publicans. In the first Butterworth; second, Brown; third, Williams; sixth, Booth- man; eighth, Kennedy; ninctb, Cooper; tenth, Romeis;. eleventh. Thompson; twelfth. Pugsley; fourteenth, WySknum; fifteenth, Grosvenor: seventeenth, J. D. Taylor; eighteenth, McKinley, nineteenth, Efra B. Taylor; twentieth, Crouse. Democrats : Fojrth, Yoder ; ttfi ’ , Zeney, seventh, Campbell; 'thirteenth, Outhwaith; sixteenth, Wilkins ; twenty-first. Foran. Kennedy’ un official majority is 1336, iPug...y’3 1430, and Crouse’s about 1000. The Ohio dele gation-fin the present congress includes eleven democrats and ten republicans, while the above showing give3 iifWjn re publicans and six democrats. The making of estimates on the state ticket Ins practi cally ceased. Both headquarters of the state committees at Columbus have closed, and the chairmen areout of the city. They arc receiving no news and are making no estimates on the state ticket. A close esti mate of the republican majority placed it at between 15,000 and 17,000 majority. NEW YORK. Alhany, November 3.—The Journal states that the assembly stands: Republi cans, 77; democrats, 61. it states that twenty republican congressmen are elected and fourteen democrats, claiming that Swinburne is re-elected in the nineteenth district by a small plurality. It concedes Beckham's election, saying his plurality is under 0000. Albany, N. Y., November 3.—The Al- bauy Journal (rep.), after careful figuring, estimates Beckham’s majority at 8081. NEW JERSEY. Jersey City, N. J. November 3.—Later returns received by the democratic state committee at Arnold’s Hotel give the democrats two majority on a joint ballot in the legislature. The legislature is also claimed by the republicans. William Mc- Adoohas a plurality of 2000 for congress in the seventh district. In Hudson "county thd -entire democratic county ticket is elected. Edwards, democrat, is elected state senator by about 1000 majority over Wiggins, republican. O’Neil, democrat, is elected surrogate over Manser by a large majority. In the assembly districts the democrats carried eight out of ten, as fol lows: First, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth. The Packing Ilnum-H anil Their Workmen. Chicago, November 3.—Speaking to a reporter about the strike in his own and Morris’ house, S. F. Swift said, last night: ‘•We killed no cattle Monduy or Tuesday, but shall to-morrow. I have 200 men now at work, and will have more to-morrow. I will hire any one who comes. I have re ceived a telegram from Boston, offering to send butchers. If the strikers come back, all right: if not, places won’t be saved for them. If I am interfered with, I depend upon - the town of Lake to protect me. Last Wednesday I made an agree ment with my butchers for an increase of 5 cents a day. It was to have taken effect Monday. You see how it has taken effect. Alter what has happened I will not be bound by it. I dou’t know w.iat Morris is going to do, but I think rri.y course will be | best. The packers, according to a three years’ agreement signed last March, will I stand together on this deal.” “ Does I that agreement forbid arbitration with the I strikers?” “ No; I don’t know that there is anything in that. Mr. Swift considered j the Knights of Labor and the strikers as synonymous, and said also that the pack- 1 ers were preparing for a general strike. ! All the houses in Backing Town were run- I ning aa usual this morning except Swift’s ( and Mardia’. Early indiuations were that j Swift’s would begin killing beef when the working time arrived. Several hundred non-union men were in the house and others were being hired as rapidly as they presented themselves. There has been no j trouble at the yards. lior-i-slio,- Factory Hurncil. Baltimore, November 3.—The exten sive works of the Walk is Horseshoe Com pany, on Burrough street, wore burned this afternoon.

Murk Hardin, clerk of tho lost house, who announced that under the law it was his duty to preside over the organization of tho' present house, or until a presiding officer was elected. Ho announced that members would bo sworn in by Judge N. L. Hutchins of the western circuit. The roll of counties was then proceeded with and about ten members at a time took the oath until all had been sworn in. the oath. “You do swear that you will support the constitution of this statu and of the United States, and on all questions and measures which may come before you, you will so conduct yourself as will, in your judgment, lie most conducive to tho interest and prosperity of t his stato.” Tho members, as their names were cnll- ed, advanced to the space in front of the speaker’s dusk, where they joined hands on the Bible held by H011. J. R. Smith, messenger of the last bouse. ELECTION OF BREAKER. Hon. A. 8. Clay, of Coftb, nominated in eulogistic terms Hon. W. A. Little, of Mus cogee, who had been tiurice culled to rep resent his county in the house, and who had filled the high office of sneaker with distinguished ability, aud had never had an appeal from his rulings. He had u true and manly heart within his breast, and was an honest man, that noblest work of God. Hon. C. Z. McCord seconded the nomina tion of Mr. Little. Hon. T. F. Brewster, of Harris, with drew the name of Hon. Morgan Rawls, of Effingham, and the election of Mr. Little was unanimous—100 votes. Hon. H. W. J. 11am, of Hall, moved the appointment of a committee of three to notify Speaker Little of his election. Messrs, liam of Hall, Shewmake of Burke, and Felton of Bibb, were appointed. Speaker Little was conducted to the chair ainid applause, and said: “The first pleasant duty 'I huvu to perform is to re turn to you my sincere aud heartfelt thanks for the honor you hnve done me. You have met here in obedience to law to carry out a trust imposed upon you by tiie people of Georgia. To feel perfectly assured that you will be true to that trust it is only necessary to glance into your faces. I eau only assure you that I will bring to the dis charge of the duties if t-hu high office to which you have called me an honest, faith ful and sincere endeavor without favor or affection, To all familiar Yjtlth parlia mentary usages it is well known that tho success of the pyesi'^iig officer depends roll developed that every senator was present.
