AT LAST !!! ** mj imi t/s.n /;., tu-u.un THE DEMOfKACV TRIi nriIAVT! *9* Tllden Our Next I’r‘fsiilent ! - - t 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 Jh<liana 15 | Texas 8 Kentucky 12 j Virginia 11 Louisiana 8 j I !’est Virginia 5 Maryland 8 | 19 States 196 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."

Morris, of Fordham, for 700 guineas, or 13,675, is remarkable as showing the ac tual value of one good breeding animal.

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. AUGUSTA. L. 1\ (1. S.
