Friday Morning', November 10, 1870.
The Eiection in this County.
In the election on Tuesday, Hall
county, as true to her antecedents as
the needle is to the pole, marched
squarely ami firmly up to a full dis
charge of duty. The vote polled at
this place was the largest ever cast
since the organization of the county —
being a little over 1,100. The election
passed off without the slightest dis
turbance here, and throughout the
country, so far as we have heard. At
seven of the precincts, viz: Flowery
Branch, Vandiver’s, Naramore’s, Quil
lian’s, Big Hickory, Bark Camp, and
the Fork, not a Radical vote was
polled. The consolidated return gives
Tilden, 1,533; Hayes, 191; Hill for
Congress, 1,51 G.
Ihe Georgia Victory.
The returns from the State are not
complete, but enough have been re
ceived to warrant the statement that
the majority for Tilden and Hendricks
will be at least fifty thousand, with a
strong probability that it will go
higher. The Congressional delega
tion will be solidly Democratic, with a
doubt as between Dabney and Felton.
In the first district, Hartridge is elec
ted by an increased majority. In the
second, Smith has again triumphed
over Whitely by a majority ranging
from three to four thousand. In the
third, Gen. Phil Cook’s majority will
probably be 6,000. In the fourth,
Harris is elected by an overwhelming
vote. Parson Hilliard, the “Indepen
dent” has gone a glimmering. In the
fifth, Candler’s majority over Mark
ham will be at least 8,000. In the
seventh there is still doubt as between
Dabney and Felton, with the chances
for Felton. In the eighth, Mr. Ste
phens again walks over the track, with
a highly complimentary endorsement.
In the Ninth, where there was no op
position, of course the vote was all
one way.
On the whole, we can record home
affairs as altogether satisfactory.
The adjourned term of Gwinnett
Superior Court opens on the fourth
Monday in this month.

Judge H. Troup Lumpkin, a faith
ful worker and accomplished gentle
man, has retired from the staff of the
Atlanta Times.
The 4th of next March comes on
Sunday. Going according to histori
cal precedent the President will not
bo inaugurated. The existing term
will expire at noon Sunday and the ac
ting Vice-president will be the Presi
dent of the United States until the
inaugural ceremonies.
The news from the Nortl* pole,
through the recent English arctic ex
ploring expedition, is not cheering.
It failed to plant the cross of St.
George upon the mythical pole and,
after much suffering, death and dis
ease, it has returned, bringing the in
formation that the polar Sea can never
be navigable.
According to the official statistics,
the Indian population has decreased
nearly one-half in the last fifteen
years. Yet the Indian appropriations,
which in 1871 amounted to $2,895,000
per annum had grown in 1875 to SB,-
384 000, Half as many Indians and
costing three times as much to keep
them.
There is a rumor afloat that Chief
Justice Warner contemplates retireing
from the bench of the Supreme Court
at the expiration of this (the July)
term. Judge Warner has teen on the
bench for about thirty years, and is
universally esteemed as an able and
upright Judge.
How about the pay of all the deputy
marshals? No appropriation has been
made by Congress to carry out Taft’s
declaration of war against the South,
and we really don’t see where the
funds are to come from, unless they
are stolen from the Treasury. That is
the only Radical remedy we can think
of.—Savannah News.
A sensation has been created in Jer
sey City by the discovery of a gold
mine while sinking a well. The work
men, after passing through a vein of
iron ore, struck a quartz vein contain
ing gold, at a depth of 900 feet. Geol
ogists suppose that this quartz belongs
to the Appalachian range running
from Nova Scotia to the Gulf, and hav
ing outcroppings in Virginia, North
Carolina and Georgia.
The people of Texas are much agita
ted over th 6 treaty with the Indians,
by which they agreed to be removed
to the borders of Texas. The Dallas
Herald says: ‘The introduction of six
or eight thousand hostile and savage
Sioux into the Indian Territory, near
the borders of Texas, is a menace to
Texas. It involves danger not only to
the property and lives of our citizens
upon the Northwest frontier, but such
a band of trained and fearless Indians,
joined by others, might easily sweep
down into the very heart of North
Texas.
Col. Nathan Thomas, the recent
Radical candidate for the Legislature,
of Elbert county, has vamoosed, leav
ing his crop ungathered and his credi
tors mourning. He left no message
nor gave any reason for leaving. Five
balds of cotton which he had gathered
and ginned, ho carried off with him.—
Savannah News.
The Kesult.
Knowing the deep anxiety, felt by
every one, to learn the result of the
great contest on Tuesday, we have kept
our columns open to the latest possible
moment, hoping to be able to announce
beyond a doubt the election of Mr.
Tdden, but at this writing, two o’clock
Thursday afternoon, the result is still
somewhat uncertain. The following
States are conceded to Tilden by all
parties:
Alabama 10, Arkansas G, Connecticut
G, Delaware 3, Georgia 11, Indiana 15,
Kentucky 12, Maryland 8, Mississippi
8, Missouri 15, New Jersey 9, New
York 35, North Carolina 10, Tennessee
12, Texas 8, Virginia 11, West Virginia
5. Total 184.
This lacks one vote of an election,
with South Carolina, Florida, Louis
iana, Oregon and Wisconsin still in
doubt. If any one of these states goes
for Tilden, he is elected. Should they
all go for Hayes, he is elected by one
vote. We still have strong hopes that
Tilden is elected.
Since the above was written we have
received the following dispatch:
[special to the eagle.]
Atlanta, 2 p. m., November 9.
A private dispatch from the editor
of the New Orleans Democrat says
Louisiana has gone Democratic by at
least 12,000. This makes Tilden’s vote
192 and [elected. South Carolina, Ne
vada, Florida, Wisconsin and Oregon
still in doubt.
Felton’s majority about 1,500. Can
dler’s 1,500. Smith’s 5,000.
New York, 12 m., November 8.
The canvass at headquarters devel
opes the fact that Tilden is certainly
elected. The vote positively known
for him is 219, but other States are
claimed. The enthusiasm here is like
a world on fire. All Republicans give
it up, and the idea of resisting the in
auguration is laughed at. J.
The following dispatch has just been
received by Mr. James Banks, Chair
man Young Men’s Democratic Club of
this c%, which settles the question:

Tilden is certainly elected. There
is immense enthusiasm and great
rejoicing.
Lake City, Fla., Nov. 8, 2:50 a. m.
Partial returns from sixteen coun
ties in Flordia, a republican strong
hold, show net democratic gains over
the vote in 1874 of 544. Columbia
and Monroe counties, formerly repub
lican, elect the entire democratic tick
et. Finley, democratic, elected to con
gress by 600 majority.
Columbia county is democratic by a
majority of 195 with a democratic
gain of 240.
Duval county is republican by a ma
jority of 800, the republican gain be
ing 330.
Partial returns from other portions
of the state show democratic gains,
with the prospect of the democrats
carrying the state.
Indianapolis, November 8.
Returns from 240 townships and
voting precincts or twenty-four per
cent, of the October vote, heard from,
give a democratic net gain of 476.
The increased vote in these townships
is 1080.
Indianapolis, November 8.
Returns from 260 townships gives
Tilden 58,872; Hayes 57,083, securing
a United States senator.
Indianapolis, November 8.
260 points, covering 27 per cent, of
the October vote, give a democratic
gain of 753. The same ratio will give
Tilden 7,861 majority in the state.
Charleston, S. C., November 8.
The official count in the city of
Charleston gives Hampton 15 majori
ty. The News and Courier’s estimate
returns, covering the whole state ex
clusive of Charleston county, give
Hampton over 10,000 majority. That
paper does not think it possible that
Charleston county can give more than
5,000 republican majority and it con
siders the state safe for Hampton and
also for Tilden, who it believes will
not fall behind Hampton more than
ten thousand votes. The republicans
still claim that the heavy majority in
Charleston county will overcome the
democratic gains and give the state to
Hayes and Chamberlain.
Detroit, November 8.
185 towns gives 7,452 democratic
gain as compared with 1872.
Milwaukee, Cos., Nov. 8.
A complete democratic gain of 518.
Democratic gain, as far as beard from,
1,299. The state is close.
San Francisco, November 8.
The republican majority in the state
is probably 5,000. The republicans
claim Nevada by 500; Oregon 800 ma-
jority.
Sax Francisco, November 8.
It is likely the republicans have
elected all four members of congress.
Twelve of the forty-nine precincts of
the city give Hayes four majority.—
Nothing from the interior of Oregon

Gov. Stone, the Democratic Execu

$500,905.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune telegraphs to
that newspaper the startling fact that
on an alteration of figures in the books
in the United States Treasury has in
creased the national debt $20,000,000.
The Tribune correspondent says that
these alterations wereij inade while
Boutwell was Secretary of the Treasu
ry. The debt statement from 1863 to
1870 was put down in the official re
turns at $1,099,000,000, but in the
statement of 1871 it was suddenly in
creased to $1,120,000,000. The inves
tigation ordered by the Senate of the
United States has failed to straighten
the crooked figures of the Treasury
Department, and Boutwell has been
directly silent upon the subject.
Dr. Raborg, of New York, gives a
most deplorable account of the situa
tion of the homeless poor of that city.
He say* that among them are forty
thousand vagrant children, and that
many soldiers, widows, dependent on
sewing for a living, are at times com
pelled to seek the police stations for
shelter and a place to sleep in.—
With reßpect to the homeless children,
he states that hundreds of them be
come confirmed drunkards and thieves
before attaining the age of twelve
years, supplementing the state
ment with the assertion that there are
grogg6ries in which a child is sold a
drink of intoxicating poison for a cent.
Dr. Raborg personally investigated
these matters, and claims to know
wherefore he speaks. He adds that
all the metropolitan asylums for
needy children are over crow ded, not
withstanding the large number left to
the mercy of the streets.
Cremation in Georgia.
They had a real sensation in Augus
ta last Sunday. It appears that they
have in that city a society called “The
Oriental Order of Humility.” It is
secret in its workings, and hence no
one outside of the organization knows
its exact objects; but it is understood
that one of the obligations is that
every member is to be cremated in
stead of buried at his death. On Sat
urday last. Col. Wm. R. Suppus, a
member of the society, died suddenly
in Atlanta, and was carried to Augusta
for cremation. In speaking of the an
nouncement and the ceremonies that
followed, the Constitutionalist, says:
At first many of the citizens were
disposed to regard the thing as a
hoax, but later in the day crape was
seen upon the door of Pythagoras Hut
No. 21, the place of meeting of the Or
der, and it was evident from the un
usual movement upon the part of
many that something peculiar was go
ing on. Different committees were
seen bnsily engaged in making ar
rangements for what at first no one
was disposed to credit. Application
was made to the mayor for permission
to cremate a human body on Broad
street. Think of it. The Mayor at
first was startled, but upon being
shown the original will of Col. Suppus,
in which it appeared that it was his
desire therein expressed, to be crema
ted in the streets of Augusta, the May
or gave his permission. Other items
of the will showed that Col. Suppus
had left large sums of money to vari
ous charities in the State, and five
thousand dollars to the Oriental Order
here, but the will is to be contested.—
We learn that Col. Suppus first dis
covered this mysterious order in his
travels in the far East and was one
of the first to introduce it into Ameri
ca.
At nine o’clock last night, an im
mense crowd had gathered on Warren
Block, in front of the Hat. Soon the
members began to make their appear
ance, all dressed in'the mourning re
galia of the order, black gowns, hood
and mask. Each member also had a
light or flambeau. The members were
formed in column, in the following or
der:
1. Brass band.
2. Senechal and Almoner.
3. Members two abreast, four feet
apart, and four feet from breast to
back.
4. Sexton.
5. Pall bearers, eight in number with
coffin born on shoulders in true Orien
tal style.
6. Scrivner.
7. Monitor and Vizier.
8. Most Venerable Friar, who car
ried a small book (of orations) the
same being about four feet squareN
9. Tflie Most Potent Grand Seiguor.
was under command of
the Teco Oriental Marshal, assisted by
five deputies.
The line of mp.rch was from the Hut
to Broad, thence up to Campbell
thence to Greene, down Greene to
monument, monument to Broad, thence
to Jackson and back to the front of
the Central Hotel where the funeral
pile was erected.
Reaching this the coffin, a handsome
rosewood, upon which was engraved
upon a silver plate,
WILLTAM R. SUPPUS,
Age 42,
Died November 4th, 1876,
was placed upon the pile, and the or
der was then gathered in a circle, sol
emn, grand and peculiar, around the
mortal remains of the deceased broth
er. After the singular prayer of the
Order had been delivered by the Ju
nior Friar, the torch was solemnly and
deliberately applied to the pile, and at
once the flames in forked tongues
leaped upwards and upwards, until
they seemed fairly to reach the clouds.
The coffin was soon enveloped in
flames and thousands of our citizens
saw what had never been known here
before—a human body consumed by
fire—Cremated. Balconies, windows,
housetops, trees, awnings, to say noth
ing of the living mass that thronged
the street, were crowded to witness
the singular and mournful proceeding.
While the fire was lapping in aDgry
fury the lifeless body of this great man,
the Friur delivered in the peculiar lan
guage of the order a most eloquent
and touching oration. We have never
in all our experience heard anything
equal to it. We would give it in full,
but it is just one of those things that
can be apprec:ated only by hearing it
Soon the coffin began to crumble,
when a ghastly spectable was presen
ted to the eye. The body, blackened,
burning, hissing smoking, was clearly
visible, and as the stifling odors filled
the air, shrieks and cries of men, wo
men and children could be heard on
all sides. Many said horrible, horri
ble ! others said surely he can never
burn again; while others cried what a
consolation to his widow to know that
he hasn’t got to lie in the cold, cold
ground all alone. The fire lighted the
heavens all over the central part of the
city, and the entire proceeding from
the beginning to the end, was one of
the most ghastly as welt as gloomily
peculiar and interesting ceremonies,
which has ever occurred in this city.
After the funeral fires had burned
down, all that was mortal of W. R.
Suppus was gathered in the urn by
the “Most Worthy Keeper of the Sa
cred Relics,” and the Society headed
by the band playing the dirge special
ly written for the occasion, entitled
“He has gone to his long, long home
uueooled by day, unsoaked by water,’’
returned to the hut, where the ashes
were deposited in the vault and the
society dispersed. A large number of
our citizens visited the Hut on yester
day, where the body was lying in state.
We learn that Col. Suppus moved to
Atlanta about two years ago, and was
highly esteemed in that city as a man
of morality, intelligence and singular
liberality. He leaves a widow and
seven small children, who are fortu
nately well provided for, but who are
to become the “wardens of the society
in Augusta.” Such is the language of
the will.
Some well-known estates in the
James river section of Virginia have
been sold to Northern and Western
settlers. Among them may be men
tioned the “Grove,” near the historic
Jamestown and nearly opposite the
celebrated Hog Island estate. It was
sold for SSO an acre. Also “Varina,”
Aiken’s Landing, to a gentleman from
Pennsylvania for $30,000, and another
from the same State has bought a
place a little higher up the river
for $35,000. F. R. Ruffin’s estate
in Christfield county, at and near Port
Walthall, was sold for $30,000. It has
already been mentioned that the beau
tiful “Ellerslie” in this same county,
was lately sold for $28,000 to an Ohio
purchaser.—Petersburg (Va.) Post.
It is stated that Hon. R. E. Lester,
