THURSDAY, NOVEMBER. 7,1870.
Marylalul, according to the mu-
nicipal election in Baltimore, wil!
give a sligli'ly iliminislied demo-
cratic majority.
A jiivfenile Pinafore troupe is de-
lighting thorjsan Antonio (oiks. All
the membeia of the company are
children under eight years of age.

A Fort horse thief the
other day, wjiile court was in ses-
sion, quietly st< le, ^ie papers in his
ciise, and migrated, sending back
a funny mes :ige" tfl"tlie district cleik.
The state calvJ $.ir Louisiana is
said to have been exceedingly warm.
It is said the negro leaders in some
parishes, especially at Natchez, have
pronunced for the democratic ticket.
Of course the republicans will say
those negroes were bulldozed. That
party never gives the colored people
credit for having good common
sense, or a will of their own.
Under the Hws of Pennsylvania
the railroad companies are required
to redeem unused tickets. For in-
stance, if a man purchases a ticket
in Jeisey City for Pittsburg, and
only tiavels to Philadelphia, he can
take it to the main office of the conir
pany in that city and have it re-
deemed, after the amount of the full
rate of fare between New York and
Philadelphia has been deducted.
The company has redeemed as high
as $4000 worth of tickets in one
month under this arrangement.
ML <t_.
Something of a clash betvven fed-
eral and state authorities is occurr-
ing in the Pan Handle country. A
deputy U. S. marshal arrested sev-
eral citizens attending it. The citi-
zens appeared in a state court 011 a
habeas corpus and were released.
The marshal re-arrested them,
whereupon the marshal himself was
arrested and required to give bond
for his appearance in a state court.
He was endeavoring, at last ac-
counts. to procure the arrest of the
state officers who had arrested him.

It is to be hoped that Grant will
finally, get somewhere and stay
there. He will then be conlerring an
inestimable favor upon the public il
he will kick every newspaper cor-
respondent off the premises. The
daily report of these idiots has been
disgusting. If the end of Grant's
nose was blue, the fact was tele-
graphed ; if one of his boot heels
was inclined to run over, it was in-
stantly flashed to the "home office."
A running at the nose, a Wrinkle in
his shirt bosom, a speck of dust on
his pants, the ashes that fell from
his cigar, and the slightest thing that
he said or did has beed magnified
into matters of importance by these
man-worshiping apes who have fol-
lowed in his train. The people are
sick of thi"s nonsense.
A repoTt to the collector of cus-
toms in Alaska, the newly acquired
territory of the United States, hith-
erto imprinted, says the state of
things there is as bad and disgrace-
ful as can be imagined. Every other
house is an Indian distilleiy. Their
liquor-i* rank poison, worse than
high witiei hot from the still. It is
made of molasses, or potatoes, or
benics, os whatever they can lay
their hands on. They have of late
been experimenting with saw dust.
A well-armed and well-manned ves-
sel, rather than troops, is needed for
protection. If that were afforded,
the mines would be worked and
prove not less productive than those
of California and Nevada. The
fisheries would become an inex-
haustible source of wealth, while
from sixty-one degrees down to the
southern boundary the territory is
equal to the northern countries of
Europe for climate and fertility. If
it were propelly taken care of and
immigration encouraged, he pre-
dicts a development at present in-
credible.

New York.
A private telegram dated New
York, ib o'clock a. m. yesterday,
says Cornell is elected governor by
30,000 to 35,000 majority.
New York, Nov. 4—The indica-
tions are that Kelley will poll about
28,000 votes in this city, and that
Cornell is elected governor.
New York, Nov. 4.—1:30 a.m.
—The World admits Robinson is
defeated, but claims the election of
the rest of the democratic state ticket
by 30,000 majorty. It concedes the
legislature to the republicans. Clin
ton county gives Cornell 1,000 ma-
jority over Robinson. Dutchess
county gives 1,500.
New York, Nov. 4, x p. m.—
The anti-Tammany party have elect-
ed their county officsrs by a small
majority.
Buhfalo, Nov. 4.—Williams, the
republican nominee for senator, will
have a majority of ovei-/ 2.000. The
vole on state officeis thus far receiv-
ed will show but little variation in
the number ot votes cast for each
candidate. Only a few votes shown
as yet for Kelly, and none for the
prohibition ticket.
New York, Nov. 4, 11 130 p. m.
—Four hundred and sixty one towns,
districts or wards in the state heard
from i'p to this time give Robinson
43,804. C01 neU 62,995, Kellv 16,1 iS.
One hundred rtndeij. hty-eigh' towns,
d:s'ricts or wards show a ni-f. repub-
lican jf'i'n over til - vote of 1S76 of
2,241. Four hundred and sixty city
election districts show for Cornell
30819, Robinson 40.123, Kelly 30,-
57S, Ilaski is 33,917, Potter 67.754.
New York, Nov. 4, midnight.—■
The figures now lu ard from outs'de
of this citv and Brool.lyi i- ihcite
that Cornell wiil come to lla li in
river with about 35,000 plurality,
against which Robinson lias about
12.000 in New York city and about
10,000 in Brookh 11. This calcula-
tion elects Cornell by a plurality of
about 13,000, which may be increas-
ed to 15,000, or lessened to 10,000.
The democratic state ticket, except
governor, is thought to be elected by
15,000. Both branches of the legis-
lature are republican.
Washington, Nov. 5.—A special
to the Gazette from the New York
World office says Robinson's major-
ity in that city is 3,000. The rest of
the ticket has fifty thousand and i
elected. Kings county gives Rob-
inson 12,000. State returns show ir-
regular losses and gains.
Brooklyn, 1:10a. m., Nov. 5.—
In one hundred and twenty-eight dis-
tricts in Brooklyn the total vote is as
follows: Cornell, 22,839; Robinson.
30,909; Kelly, 4,031.
Massachusetts.
Boston, Nov. 4.—The following
is the full vote of this city: Butler,
23,445; Long, Adams, 1,-
530; Eddy, 99. Butler's majority
over all, 3,578; majority over Long,
5,207 ; an increase of 719 votes for
Butler over last year. One hundred
and eleven towns and cities give
Long 62,116 ; Butler 54,672 ; Adams
4,550. Last years vote was Talbot
68,19s, Butler 56,375, Abbott 4,990.
Returns from Lowell, not yet com-
frlett show heavy gains for But-
er. One hundred and thirty-
seven towns and sixteen cities give
Long 6.504 majority over Butler.
In ward six, this city, Butler's son
was beaten by 23 votes for represen-
tative, by Parkinan, republican, al-
though the general carries the ward
by 900.
Boston, Nov. 4.—Returns as far
as received indicate that Long, re-
publican, for governor, is elected by
from 10,000 to 13 000 plurality, and
this may be increased to 15,000 by
further returns. Republican candi-
dates for state offices are all elected,
and the legislature will be largely
republican. The vote shows a ma-
terial falling off as compared with
last year. The prohibition v te
amounted to but little and the
straight democratic ticket received
but small support.
Boston, Nov. 4.—Tv>o hundred
and ten cities and towns give Long
95.0S7, Butler Si.583, Adams 7,710.
Last year—Butler 80,475, Tolbat
204,428, Abbott 7,062. The defeat
of Butler is conceded by his friends,
who allow Long's plurality to be
8,000, but there is every indication
that it will reach 15,00 and may
reach 17,000. The legislature is
overwhelmingly republican. Three
hundred and sixty-six towns and
cities in this state give Long 113,*
515, Butler, 99,930. The same towns
last year gave Talbot 124,317, But-
ler 98, 517, Abbott 9,089.
Virginia.
Alexandria, Va., Nov. 4.—This
city gives 533 majority for the debt-
payers candidates for the legislature,
which assures their election.
Norfqlk, Va., Nov. 4.—Read-
justee probably elected a senator
from Norfolk, and Bousch, republi-
can, elected from the Portsmouth
district. The negroes were almost
unanimously for Readjustee.
Fredericksburg, Va., Nov. 4.—
The debt payers have carried the
county and senatorial district by a
large majority. In adjoining dis-
tricts reports indicate the defeat of
General Fitzhugh Lee by Duff
Green, Readjustee A remarkable
incident to-day was the appearance
of a large body of colored voters,
with fife and drum, following the
Virginia flag.
Norfolk, Nov. 4.—The readjus-
ters have carried Norfolk by nineteen
majority.
In Portsmouth there is a tie be-
tween the readjusters and Funders,
candidate for the house of dele-
gates.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 4, 11 145 p.
m.—The vote in this city was the
smallest ever polled, there being no
opposition to the funders' or debt-
payers' tickct. But few negroes
voted. The returns from other por-
tions of the state show that the fight
between the funders and readjusters
has been stubborn, and the indica-
tions are that the majority of the
legislatue of the successful party will
be small. Returns yet are too mea-
ger to state positively which side
will have a majority.
Petersburg, Virginia, Nov. 4.
—The result of the elections gvie
P. B. Wilcox, of Prince George
county, readjuster candidate for the
Senate from this district, a majority
of 348 votes over the debt-paying
candidate, L. B. Barhart, of Surry
county. Dr. Win. C, Harwood and
Dr. David F. May, readjusters' can-
didates for the Legislature from this
city, have been elected by about 300
majority over their competitors, Col.
F. H. Archer and Mr. C. A. Jack-
son, debt-paying candidates.
Returns from vaiious precincts in
adjoining counties give the readjusters
a small majority.
Though defeated in the election
here to-day, the supporters of the
McCulloch bill are confident they
have a large majority in the State.
The readjusters here are highly elated
over their victory.
Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4.—The in-
dications are that the city of Phila-
delphia has gone republican by a
larger majority than ever before
known on a state ticket. Returns
from the state continue to show re-
publican gains.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4.—Partial
returns from 24 out of 67 counties,
excluding Philadelphia county, show
republican gains of 6,000. Twen-
ty-seven wards of Philadelphia out
of thirty-one, give Butler, republi-
can, for state treasurer, 26,216 ma-
jority over Carr, democrat—a repub-
lican gain of 9,701.
Erie, Pa., Nov. 4.—The republi-
can majority in Erie county is about
250; democratic majority last year,
15. The republicans gain in the
county, but not in the same ratio.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4.—Returns
from 15 counties, including Phila-
delphia, show a republican gain on
the state ticket of about 20,000.
Maryland.
Baltimore, Nov. 5, 1130 a. m.—
Up to this hour full returns have
been received from only three of
twenty wards of the city. These
three give a democratic majority of
i,792-
Owing to the length of the ticket,
which includes the state, legislative
and judicial officers, there was a gen-
eral scratching.
The count will not be concluded
before morning.
The democratic majority in the
city will be about 10,000.
A tew counties have been heard
from. H&nford is reported 1,000
democratic majorily, and Howard
county 500.
There is no question of the elec-
tion ot the democratic state ticket
and a democratic legislature.
Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Nov. 4.—Midnight-
One hundred and thirty-nine towns
and cities, including Milwaukee,
show a net republican gain of 8,677
over the vote of two years ago.
Smith, republican, for governor, has
a majority of 17,000 so far with
half the state to hear from. His
majority is safely estimated at 22,-
000, with a strong probability of its
reaching 24,000. The assembly and
•enate are strongly republican.
Kuehr, chairman of the democratic
central committee, was defeated for
assembly by more than 2 o majority,
the district giving him 6,600 ma-
jorily four years ago. No more re-
turns are expected to-night.
Minnesota.
St. Paul, N v. 4.—Returns are
coming in slowly. Pillsbury, repub-
lican, for governor, falls behind his
ticket in most precincts, but runs
ahead largely in alew. Gilman, re-
publican, for lieutenant-governor,
generally runs ahead. It is not like-
ly the average majorities 011 the state
ticket will much exceed 10,000
though returns from large interior
towns may materially increase the
republican vote. In St. Paul, Rice,
demacrat, for governor, is run ning
ahead of the ticket, and will have a
large majority probably 1,600. In
Minneapolis the vote stands Pills-
bury 2,815, Rice 555-
Chicago City.
Chicago, November 4.—The elec-
tion to-day was quiet and peaceable.
A full vote was polled. Party lines
were pretty strictly drawn and the
figures thus far indicate a close
contest.
Chicago, November 4, 12m.—
The republicans are now firing
guns in honor of their vietory in
Chicago and Coak county. Indica-
tions are that the city is republi-
can by five thousand, a gain often
thousand, and the county by seven
or eight thousand.
Mississippi.
Grenada, Nov. 4.—The demo-
crats carry this precinct by a majority
of 200 out of a total vote of 412.
They will carry the county by 500,
a gain of 200 votes over last year.
Jackson, Nov. 4.—A small vote
was polled throughout the state. In-
dications are that the republicans
carry all but a few counties. The
complexion of the legislature will
be unchanged. The greenbackers
elect a part of their ticket. Leake
county and Yazoo have gone demo-
cratic.
Nebraska.
Lincoln, Nebraska, Nov. 4,11 .-30
p. m.—Election returns come in
slowly. The indications are that
Cobb, the Republican candidate tor
Supreme Judge is elected over
Wakely, Democrat, by 12,000 maj-
ority. The total vote of the state
will reach 60,000. The Republican
county tickets are generally success-
ful. The Greenbackers make a very
small showing.
New Jersey.
Returns thus far received show the
republicans of New Jersey have
gained one state senator and two or
three members of assembly. They
will probably retain control of both
branches of the legislature.
Connecticut.
Hartford, Nov. 4.—The net re-
publican gain in the senate is 4 over
last year; in the house, 18. The re-
publican majority on joint ballot last
year was 47 ; this year, 93, and pos-
sibly 96.
Jesse James Killed.
St. Louis, November 4.—Des-
patches from points in southwestern
Misouri and southeastern Kansas,
repert the killing ot Jesse James, of
the notorious James boys, supposed
to have been the gang who robbed
the train at Glendale, Missouri, re-
cently, by George Shepherd,, for-
merly a member of the same gang.
Shepherd joined James, who with
his party was on theirroad to Texas.
After riding with them some distance
Shepherd suddenly shot James in
the head, wheeled his horse and fled,
escaping with a shot in his thigh
from one ot James' companions.
Shepherd cherished an enmity
against James for killing a relative.
James' body has not yet been re-
covered.
The Conference.
Sherman, Nov. 4.—Delegates to
the North Texas Annual Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church
South, are arriving by every train,
as well by conveyances. Bishop
McTeyire, who will preside, will
reach the city to-morrow. Members
of the different classes under course
of study and applicants for the min-
istry were examined to-dav. Rev.
Mr. Archer, of the Greenville dis-
trict, is preaching this evening to a
large congregation. The Confer-
ence will be formally organized to-
morrow.

Messrs. CorrocK k Johnson:
Dear Sirs—I have been using the Emerson & Fisher Buggy I bought from you
as roughly I suppose as any one could. I had a fast horse, drove him at full speed,
sometimes with two grown ladies and myself in the buggy, and it is to-day worth all
the money I paid for it. I say the Emerson, Fisher Buggies will do.

Tho favorable reputation the Carriages have made in localities where they have
been used for several years by Liverymen, Physicians, Farmers and others re-

been extended, enabling them now to turn out in good stvle,
