Mr. Blaine, it is stated on the best au thority, received this afternoon a telegram from New York announ cing tbe completion of the ofllcial canvass in that city, and informing him that tho plurality for Cleve land in that State would be 1,137. He accepts tbe result very cheer fully and has no regrets growing out of fais connection with the cam paign. He lecla that he made a good light and ho gracefully bovrs to the verdict of the American people. He declares that the Re publican party will prove true to its grand past, and will increase in strength with the coming years. He expects that in 1888 it will again be called back into power. Mr. Blaine leaves-for Washington the middle cf next week, where bis family will spend the winter. He lias leased the “Sargent House” in Farragut square, and will shortly resume his work on the second volume of “Twenty Years in Con gress.” The volume will be ready by next June fur publication. New York, Nov. 15.—Tbe re spective National and State head quarters of the Republican and Democratic committees were finally closed to-night. Chairman B. F. Jones of the Republican national committee left bis rooms early, and Secretary Fessenden and Commit teeman Elkins remained and held a conversation with Walker Blaine. Tho Republicans concede Cleve land's election. Assistant Secre tary Loomis voiced the sentiments of the committee in saying : “It is all over. We only await the action of the State board of canvassers on Wednesday next. But wo have made a good fight, considering that we did not have one third ol the amount of the funds controlled by tbe national committee in the Gar- lield campaign.” The headquarters of the Demo cratic national committee were dark and deserted. Senators Gor- man and Jones anil Mr. Barnum had left the city feeling that their work was ended. Chairman W. E Smith, of tho Democratic State committee, had gone to his home in Flaltsburg, and Secretary Bunn left this ovening. There was little talk about the hotels and public resorts about the election. and will make eighty-five or ninety bales this year withoul it.

Wasuinuto:.', November 15— The Evening Star publishes the following reply to an inquiry sent to Mr. George William Curtis by a government employe here: WestNew Brighton,Staten Is land, November 14th, 1884. Dear Sir:—I have your letter of the 12th. There is no doubt that Mr. Cleve land wid encounter a tremendous demand fora clean sweep.

A VERY BLUE FAMILY. Tlie Blelaee Not In m Veer Fleeeeat Frame of August a, Me., Nov. 16.—Mr. Blaine has at last realized the bit terness of defeat. He had some faint hope all along that he would bo counted in, but the truth seems to he that he was so greatly stun ned by tbe conflicting reports that came from New York the very day after election that he never fully recovered himself and felt all the time that the tide was against him He has acted nil along like a man completely unnerved and displayed none of that spirit and dash that was expected of him by his friends in case of an emergency. The chilling apprehension of defeat that seized him the day after the election has now grown into the full realization of the actual disas ter. Both he and his family are suffering the most burniug agony. This information comes sttaigbt from their own house. Mr. Blaine is to-day moro an object of pity than resentment and abuse. The female part of his family are lo tears most of tho time, while his son Walker curses the very air. If Mr. Blaine had fears of defeat, his family did not share them. His conceited and impertinent .son Walker was as confident of his fa ther’s triumph as bo was of bis elevated shirt collar. The single daughter looked forward with fond expectations to her Bocial reign at the white house, as every girl might be expected to do under the circumstances, and many were the rosy pictures she drew before her intimate young lady associates here. Mr. Blaine is more than ever convinced that his friend El kins was the wrong man to place in the management of the national committee. Ho thinks he was not equal to the requirements of the place; that he was too easily de ceived; that he spent too much money trying to carry southern states, and that he relied too much upon hurrah. The Blaine strikers about the postofilce are a pretty good reflex of what Mr. Blaine himself thinks, and they are open and violent in their denunciation of Jones and Elkins. Jo Manley, the postmaster of Augusta, thinks he himself could have done better than Elkins. .Mr. Blaino and his family evidently feel that he has lost the presidency through mis management, and the man whom he holds guilty of that mismanage ment he will never forgive. A N ;gro Admitted to the Bar. From the Augunts. G»., Chronicle. At a meeting of the superior court yesterday moring a tall, light hued, colored man, apparent ly about thirty years of age, pre sented himself as an applicant for admission to the bar. Ills appli cation represented that his name wasJudson W. Lyons and that he was a gradutc of Howard Uni versity Law School, Washington, D. C. He ale* represented a di ploma from that Institution. His moral character was certified to by Wm. J. White, W. H. Barefleld and Joseph S. Bean, the two former being residents ol this city. Tbe court appointed as a committee to examine him, Judge Hook, Judge Shewmakc, Mr. Lockhart, and Solicitor General Wright. TbeBC gentleman examined him in turn upon the various branches design ated by the statue, each expressing his satisfaction at tbe manner in which the applicant responded. After a close examination of about an hour, Solicitor General Wright, who conducted the closing part of tbe examination, arose and said : “I think it but due tho applicant that I should state to your honor, and ia the bearing of these people, that the applicant, after going through a very searching examina tion, at far as I have had time to give it, has not missed a single question, and shows a proficiency in criminal law, which is very rare in applicants before this court.” Judge Roney then said; “1 taka great pleasure iu saying that I have listened to the examination and heard the report of the com mittee, and that 1 indorse their re port that tbe applicant is worthy of admission to the bar, and I have prepared this order.” The court then read the order of admission, and the applicant advanced and took tbe oath, after which each of the committee went forward and ■hook banda with him. Lyons was for some time a United States S tuger; has since taught school. • was, in 1880, a candidate for tbe legislature in this county, but was defeated. Lyons ia the second or third col ored man who baa been admitted to tbe tar in Augusta alneatha war. Georgo Snowden practiced here shortly after the war, and John F. Quatlcs was also admitted to tbe profession in this oity. In Caro- lina thero are several colored law yers, Sam Lee, in Charleston, and Whlpper, in Beaufort, being the most conspicuous in that atate. Sevi ral years ago Aaron Alperoria Bradley was admitted to the bar in Savannah, and Styles Hutchins in Atlanta. These parties, how ever, have uot been heard of lately in legal circles. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. I'bHpoMil, and By t Is Operated. From tho Journal of Commsrce. Nkwahk, N J.. Not. 7,1884. Editor of the Journal of Vornmerct: Will you please expltiu to your many renders what the Associated Press is, who composed of, &o., and why it is run in tho f nror of the Republican Party Reply—The New-York Asso ciated Press is composed of seven papers named by it ill tbe following order: Tho New-York Journal of Commerce, Herald, Tribune, Times, Exprcis, Sun, and World. When Mr. Jay Gould owned a controlling interest in the World, and Mr. Hurlbert represented it in the as sociation, the following gentlemen in behalf of their respective papers, viz., Mr. Charles .A. Dana of the Sim, Mr. Whitelaw Reid of the Tribune, Mr. Hurlbert of the World, and Mr. Cyrus W. Field Of the Mail and Express, by a bare majority of one vote, and against tbe earnest protest of the Herald, Times, and Journal of Commerce, who were in the minority, reorgan ized tbe management, appointing Messrs. Dana and Reid, and Dr. Hosmer, of tbe Herald, an Execu tive Committee, ftogether with two members of tho Western Press,) and giving them new pow ers in tbe business of tbs associa tion. They appointed a new gen. eral agent from tho West, Mr. William Henry Smith, and Mr. W. H. French was appointed bis chief assistant. The Sdltor-in chief of this paper is President of the organization, and for 25 years has been active in the conduct of its affairs. Ho has found that for tbe most part the new agent was dis posed to conduct the business fair, y, and in tbe best interest of the papera and the public, who are alike most faithfully served when the news is impartially collected and distributed. It is an open secret that the Uerald hat not re cently participated to any consid erable extent in tbe sessions of the committee, if any such have been held, nor has Mr. Dsns, wo believe, been very active; and the recent ' election 'returns appear to have been collected under tbe entire supervision ol the editor of tbe Tribune. The partisan character of tho service is most painfully apparent, and we do not believe that tho other members of the as sociation will quietly submit to lose the good name of the body in any such fashion. The World (meaning tbe paper of that name) has undergone s revolution, and tbe present owner is not a satellite ot Gould- A Discouraged Republican. A member of tbe republican na tional committee said that the democrats, with all tbe government lower and patronage In their lands, could easily control tbe 48 electoral votes outside of tbe 163 votes of the solid south, and there was nothing to prevent them from bolding tbe government for tbe next sixty years, unless they com mitted some unusually outrageous errors.

Full particu lars can be bad on application to M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans,La. The Greensboro Herald esys it is really suprising tbst so many persons neglect to have their title* to land recorded.
