Probably the closest contest in the

at about 1,500.
ALABAMA.
The Democrats of Alabama have
elected the full Congressional dele
gation from the State, viz: Jones in
the Ist District; Herbert in the 2d ;
Williams in the* 3d; Shelly in the
4th; Ligon in the sth; Hewitt in the
6th; Forney in the 7th; and Garth
in the Bth. It Is possible that Brom
berg, independent Democrat, is elect
ed instead of Jones in the Ist Dis
trict, but the returns leave no doubt
that the Radical candidate is beaten.
In the 4th District, Shelly, Demo
crat, goes in between a division in
the Radical ranks, the party in the
district being nearly equally divided
between Haralson and Rapier, color
ed Radicals, one for Spencer and one
anti-Spencer.

We mako below an extract from
the general presentments of the
grand jury of Sumtercounty. The sug
gestions made we heartily approve.
They correspond with views which
we have heretofore expressed. He
has been a very unobservant man
who has not perceived that the “wild
hunt for office” is one of .the great
evils of the times ; that it is demoral
ising in holding out delusive hopes of
an easy position without hard work,
and corrupting by the means employ
ed to secure such positions. The
best and surest remedy for this evil,
in our judgment, is to render such
positions less desirable, which can
be effected by reducing their emolu
ments to what could be made by the
same amount of work in private bus
iness. This would also effect a
saving of expense to the peo
ple generally—no unimportant con
sideration in times like these, There
is no danger whatever that such re
ductions of salaries aud fees would
deprive the country of the services of
competent men. 80 long as we see
half a dozen or more men aspiring to
every office, we may rest easy on that,
score. The truth is, that the scram
ble which now arises and the unfair
or corrupt means used to secure nom
inations or elections, often deter the
best men from becoming candidates.
Check this scramble and stop the
use of such means, by reducing sala
ries, and the better men will stand a
better chance.
The following la the extract to
which we refer:
This grand jury Is in favor of "Re
form,” and we consider it very neces
sary that reform should be inugura
ted in a reduction of extravagant sal
aries of our public servants in this
State. We, as tax-payers, are so im
poverished that if our burdens are
not lightened we shall soon become
too poor to rear and educate our
children, and instead of the govern
ment being one of the prople, by the
l>eople and for the people, it will be
come one in which the people will
be for the government. The salaries
of every official of this State, with
but few exceptions, should be re
duced at least 25 per cent. The pre
text some years ago for raising the
salaries was the depreciated curren
cy, in which they were then paid, but
that pretext no longer exists. If
$3,000 six years ago was a good sala
ry, $2,000 now would buy as much of
almost anything as $3,000 would have
bought then. High salaries, even
if the tax payers were able to
pay them, do not. in our judgment,
promote the public good, but is a
bad example, tending to demoralize
the people, and corrupt the simplici
ty of the government. There has
been more official corruption since
the inauguration of high salaries
than ever before in our history. Nor
have higher salaries produced any
higher order of talents for the public
service, but has stimulated, wo fear,
a more eager and unscrupulous seek
ing of office. Not only do we recom
mend a reduction of salaries, but a
reduction of the number of the offi
cials also. We think the State could
be well served with fewer judicial cir
cuits, and every office and establish
ment, whether medical boards, or
what not, that are not absolutely es
sential to the safety and proper gov
ernment of the State, should be abol
ished. To these things we desire to
call the attention of the whore Legis
lature, as well as the attention of our
impoverished fellow-citizens.
Hospitality In Texas.
In no city in the United States is
the travel-stained, weary traveler ta
ken as good care of as he is in a San-
Antonio hotel. The manners and cus
toms of the guest are carefully stud
ied. A young man from the frontier,
stopping at one of our hotels, told
the Clerk, the other evening, that he
was going to be out late. “Just wait
a minute,” replied the accommoda
ting clerk, and he rushed off, but
soon appeared with a large envelope,
which he placed in the guest’s breast
pocket with the remark: That
is a bond for your appearance before
the recorder, properly signed. As soon
as you are arrested for being drunk
and disorderly, just give the bond to
the policeman, mentioning my name
to him, and he will bring you home
in a hack. Good night! God bless
you. ■
The Territories.
Salt Lake, Nov. 8.-Maginnls.
Democrat, is elected Delegate from
Montana.
Utah—Cannon, Mormon, is elected
Delegate over Baskin, Liberal, by
probably over 20,000 majority.
Cheyenne, Wy., Nov. B.—The latest
returns give Corlln, Republican, for
Delegate, 1,000 majority.
TIIK ARBITRAMENT OF THE HWOBD.
The pbaso of this Presidential con
test, for whioh we have for some
time been preparing our readers, is
now plainly revealing Itself. The
military orders of Gen. Grant, given
In our telegraphic dispatches, and
the hasty movement of troops to Tal
lahassee and Now Orleans, hardly
need explanation. We of the South
ern States know full well by past ex
perience that it is Intended to sustain
Radioal State officials in some pro
gressing or contemplated knavery,
and on this occasion it can only be to
protect them from the just indigna
tion of the people when they falsely
and treasonably “count” the votes
of their States for the Hayes Elect
ors. Thus the doubt and anxiety
about the votes of Louisiana, Flori
da and South Carolina, that has so
much interested our people for tho
last three days, is to be solved. The
sword of Brennus Is thrown into the
scale as soon as it is perceived that
Rome is making up her ransom.
The votes of these three States will
be so manipulated by their returning
boards and canvassing State officials
as to give them all to Hayes, not
withstanding the votes of a majority
of their people for Tiiden. Had it
been necessary thus to change the
votes of as many more Southern
States, and had they Radical Govern
ors willing to engage in the work,
troops would havo been sent to them
too. .
Tho programme will be this: The
Radical Governors of Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina will
“proclaim” the election of the
Hayes Electors, and those Electors
will meet, cast their votes and send
them to Washington. The Tiiden
Electors will also no doubt meet,
makeup their votes, and send them
to Washington. These votes of
tho Electors do not havo to
pass through the hands of the Governors
—the Electors send them by their own
messengers. But the proclamations or
certificates of the Governors will be re
garded as conclusive as to who were the
regularly chosen Electors and authorized
to send votes for President. At all events,
it is part of the programme that the Pres
ident of the Senate shall so decide, and
he will do the bidding of his party. The
Senate may be expected to sustain him.
But what of the Democratic House? How
can the House prevent this great infrac
tion of the Constitution and outrage upon
the rights of the people? Can it stop the
count when Florida or Louisiana is an
nounced for Hayes, and proceed to elect
a President as provided for by the Con
stitution in the event of a failure of the
people to elect? Or can it
enforce a proper count of the
votes of these States? If it should
resort to either of these remedies, and the
Senate, supported by tho President, de
clares Hayes elected, is not this a conflict
that force alone must settle? ..The situa
tion promises to be a most critical and
dangerous one—the choice between civil
war and tame submission to flagitious
outrage and wrong, a hard one. We be
lieve that the timely exhibition of deter
mined resistance by the Democrats nnd
Conservatives of the North to this revolu
tionary course of tho Radical Southern
Governors, backed by the Federal Admin
istration, will avert the danger; otherwise
the outrage evidently contemplated will
be consummated, and republican govern
ment and popular freedom will die in its
hundredth year.
THE MAN IN THE BBOWN WIG.
He was a curious looking old fellow as
he sat on a bench in Washington square,
chewing a straw with all the dignity and
grace of an after-dinner lounger in front
of the Fifth avenue. His eyes protruded,
his forehead retreated, his cars expanded,
lie wore a comical little wig of reddish
brown color, from beneath which strag
gled locks of a dingy white. Occasionally
he would smite his thigh with great vigor
and fall to chuckling as tliongh some
brilliant idea had tickled his fancy vastly.
A reporter sauntered carelessly along and
took a scat beside the old gentleman, and
as he did so, offered him a cigar. “No,”
said the stranger, "I never smoke. One
cigar a minute at 25 cents apiece would
amount in seventy-live years to—to —to a
considerable sum. The man who smokes
is not up to suuff,” aud he smote his thigh
and chuckled.
“Ah," sid the reporter, “I see you are
provident.”
“Yes, yes; I’m provident, and remember
what I tell you now, young man. Always
have your toast out when it rains
quails.”
“Your words are just,” said the report
er, "and I think one would not go far
wrong to trust you.”
“Ha, ha, ha! ho, Uo, ho! what a ver
dant boy;” then turning alarmingly sol
emn he |added, “Trust Providence, but
do a cash business with frail mortals.”
“Your comparison
“My comparison!” yelled the old gen
tleman: “I’ll teach you to talk about my
comparison. What do you know about
it? you never heard it. I’ll tell it to you.
It’s the best comparison ever made; it’s
the apothesis of comparison. Here you
are: A Cent is positive, a Centre is com
paiative, but a Bull’s Eye is superlative.”
“Indeed, that is a good comparison,”
said the reporter, soothingly; “let’s go and
have a game of billiards.
“A cue in the hand is better than ague
in the body," answered the old gentleman
as he arose stiffly from the bench. “That’s
a fine mare," remarked the reporter as a
gentleman drove by on University place.
The effect was terrible. The old gentle
man wrenched away his arm and began
to dance a weird pas seul around the
curbstone. Then he tore off his wig and
shook it in the air; then he stopped and
said, “A Green Mayor is not so good as a
bay horse.”
“Proverbial old man,” said the report
er solemnly, "who in the d—ickens are
you?”
“Ho, ho, ho, ho!” chuckled the old gen
tleman, "don’t you know me? I’m Mar
tin F. Tapper, esquire, and I’ll stab you
to death with a proyerb —•I’ll knock your
brains out with an apothegm—l’ll stran
gle you with a platitude—J’ll- What
further threats he might have made will
never be known, for a bullet-headed man,
who had been gradually stealing up _on
him, seized him by the shoulder and in a
second clapped a pair of irons on his
wrists.
‘‘None o’ this, Mr. Jones” said he
harshly. ‘‘Come along. A pretty chase
you’ve given me. You’ll get the strait
jacket when 1 get you back to Blooming
dale.”
That waß all.
