Frou\~tl Augusta Constitutionalist
While the returns from Tuesday’s elec
tion come in very slowly, they are suffi
cient to enable us to assure our readers
that there is not the faintest shadow of a
doubt of the triumphant election of Til
den and Hendricks.
We give below the States absolutely;
certain lor Tilden, also those which ;
Hayes has probably carried, together;
with the few which are doubtful, or from j
Which there are no returns :
TILDEN.
Alabama 10 j Mississippi 8
Arkansas (J j Missouri l.j
Connecticut ij \ New Jersey 9
Del a ware 3 \ New York 85 ]
Florida 4 j North Carolina 10
Georgia 11 j 'Tennessee 12

Kentucky 12 j Virginia 11
Louisiana 8 j I !’est Virginia 5

IIAYES.
Colorado 3 j Minnesota 5
Illinois 21 Nebraska 3
Jou'ii 11 ! New Hampshire 5
Kansas 5 ; Ohio 22
Maine ... 7 j Pennsylvania 29
Massachusetts 18 i liiiode Island 1
Michigan 11 | Vermont 5
14 States 144
The following States arc doubtful, or ;
have not been heard from :
California G j South Carolina 7
Nevada 8 Wisconsin 10
Oregon 3 |
5 States . 29
From California, Oregon and Nevada
we have no figures at all, and are no more
competent to estimate their vote than we
were at this time last week.
Wisconsin is close and doubtful. We
consider Vice-President elect Hendricks’
dispatch the most important news yet re
ceived from that State, and shall believe
it in the absence of definite returns.
As for South Carolina we know little.
We are of the opinion that Hampton has
carried the State by a small majority.
He thinks so and our friends in Columbia
and Charleston agree with him. Presi
dent Tilden will not run much behind
H ami ton, and if the latter carries South j
Carolina by as much as 2,500 majority
Tildeu car lies it too.
Haygood or Election Whiskey.
It is a pitiable thing to seen stagger
ing, slobbering, cursing “sovereign,”
walk up to the ballot-box and deposit
his paid for vote. Alas ! for us, that such
a sight is possible in a civilized country.
Alas! that there are candidates mean
enough la buy votes with whiskey-treats
or money-bribes. Alas! that there are
men mean enough to sell themselves for
any price ; low and depraved enough to
sell themselves so cheap. Those who
buy are unfit to rule; those who are
bought are unfit to vote. Such methods of
carrying elections would disgrace heath
en ism. It is treason to republicanism,
it is a burning shame in a country claim
ing to be civilized and enlightened. It
is a crime against God and public virtue.
It is a blighting curse to public morality.
It pollutes the very fountain of power.
Candidates who buy votes will sell their
own when they get into power. The
bribe-giver is as unworthy of confidence
; as the bribe taker. The suborner of per
jury is as base as the villain who swears
to the lie lie is paid to tell.
No party can dominate a good man’s
conscience if he is brave enough to be
true to convictions. An honest man
should not vote for a thief. If we were
absolutely shut up to the necessity of
choosing between two thieves we should
•vote for the lesser rogue. Between two
wrongs, chose neither; between two evils
choose the less. But we are not—unless
we are miserable slaves—shut up to the
necessity of ever choosing between two
thieves. For a drunkard, a thief, a liar,
a rake, a giver or taker of bribes, we will
not knowingly vote, though all the party
whips in the world were cracking about
our ear. We will vote lor George Wash
ington or Andrew Jackson first.
The Peer of New York.
Dr. Baborg, of New York, gives a most
deplorable account oi thesituation of the
homeless poor of that city. lie says that
among them are forty thousand vagrant
children, and that mam soldiers’ widows,
dependent on sewing for a living, are at
times compelled to seek the police sta
tions for shelti r a: J. s. place to sleep in.
With respect to the homeless children, he
states that hundreds of litem become con
firmed drunkards and thieves before at
taining the age of twelve years, supple
menting the statement with tire- assertion
that there are groggeries in which a ehiid
is sold a drink of intoxicating poison for
a eeut. Dr. Baborg personally investi
gated these matters, and claims to know
whereof he speaks, lie adds that ail the
metropolitan asylums for needy children
are over-crowded, notwithstanding t!ie
large number left to the mercy of the
streets.
Some time ago a young man living in
Paris swallowed a fork. It was rather a
difficult article to digest, and the patient
was gradually wasting in the effort to get
rid of it. But recently an operation was
performed at one of the hospitals for ex
tracting the fork from the stomach,
which, wonderful to relate, proved entire
ly successful. Baron Larrey, and Drs.
Labbe, and Lepere, and Professor Gosse-
Jin undertook the delicate task of cutting
ail opening and introducing an instru
ment to grasp the fork. The operation
was a long and laborious one, arising from
hemorrhage, but after two hours was safe
ly accomplished, and the young man is
reported to have completely recovered.
This is from Joaquin Miller. People
pan act upon their own discretion about
believing it ; “An immigrant train
passing over the prairie was met by a herd
ot buffaloes at lull speed. In an instant
after the herd hud passed, and lo! there
were no wagons, men, nor horses left,
every sign was obliterated. But afar off,
seated on the back of one of the flying
Jierd, was the sole survivor, a woman.
How she got there she never knew. How
she landed on the little hillock where she
at last found hergif. she never knew, but
the living, breathing whirlwind had
passed, and there shc was."

—Mrs. Phoebe A. Hansford, Univer

first instance in the world iu which a la
dy has been married by her own mother.
—With the exception of the pyramid
of Cheops, the spire of the Strasbourg Ca

been the most elevated building in the
world. It has now been exceeded by the
lately completed spire of the Rouen Ca
thedral which is 490 feet high.
—A wedding occurred a few days ago

—One of the largest droves of cattle

will have to come mainly from the
Southern States.
—A political meeting at Artesia, Mis
sissippi, ended in a riot and the wound
ing of six negroes, one of them mortally.
The United States troops were called up
on by the citizens, and their prompt ap
pearence prevented further disturbance.
All is quiet now. The citizens desire the
troops to remain to prevent a repetition
of the riot.
The history of the short horn cow,
Duchess 66th, which was sold in 1855, at
Earl Ducie’s sale, in England, to Col.
Morris, of Fordham, for 700 guineas, or
13,675, is remarkable as showing the ac
tual value of one good breeding animal.
From this cow, which was calved in No
vember, 1850, there may be traced in di
rect descent a number of animals which
have sold for about $500,000.
—A Philadelphia dispatch states that
the cash receipts at the Centennial exhi
bition have been $3,279,483.25. The
Commission expects to clear $1,500,000
at least, and a dividend among stockhold
ers is talked of. The stipulation attach
ed to the Government’s appropriation of
$1,500,000 was that the money should be
refunded before a dividend was declared.
The Government will therefore absorb
the entire net gaiu.
—ln Cincinnati, last week, a “ supe”
extended the courtesy of a chew of tobac
co to an elephant. The latter gave no
signs of indignation at the time, but a
quarter of an hour afterward, when the
, offending “ supc” next came within reach
of the insulted animal, that handy trunk
reached for the bad young man, selected
him unerringly from a group of half a
dozen, caught him, tossed him up in the
air and allowed him to fall heavily on
the floor.
—-The first execution in the history of
Atlantic county, N. J., look place a few
days ago. Two men were hanged. One
died easily, but the other a horrible death.
According to a Northern paper the ex
ecutioner blundered, and the unhappy
wretch was suffocated. His contortions
are said to have been frightful, and his
cries of agony blood-curdling. What
added horror to the scene was the fact
i that the occasion was public, and tht
: spectacle was gazed on by men, women
and children.
1 —Two belles of Reading, Pa., lately
came home from Philadelphia shorn of
their wealth of raven tresses. After they
had taken in all the points at the big
show and had made many purchases, be
fore they knew it they had spent all their
money, and w hat was worse had lost their
return excursion tickets. They had no
friends in Philadelphia and no time to
write to Reading. They therefore deter
miner! to make a raise; so they skipped
away into a barber shop and struck a
bargain for their back hair. The shaver
offered $3.75 each for what they had. In
a short time they were nicely shorn, and
thus they were able to get back to their
native land.
—The phenomenon of flesh falling from
a cloudless sky, occurred in Gaston coun
ty. N. C., last Saturday afternoon. The
shower, if such we may term it, fell in a
cotton field belonging to James Hannah,
who lives near Gaston. The flesh—for
such it certainly is—fell for several min
utes, descending somewhat in the manner
of hailstones falling, end sprinkled a
space of ground equal to a square rod.
Mr. Hannah, who saw the shower as it
fell, says it was perfectly clear at the
time, and that there was nothing unusual
visible in the sky at the place of the sin
gular occurrence. Mr. R. Frank Clark,
of this place, returned from Gastou coun
ty last Monday, and brought a specimen
of the flesh with him. A microscopic ex
amination indicates that it resembles the
flesh of a cow, and a gentleman in town,
who had the temerity to taste it, says the
taste is similar to that of beef.
