Quiet an,I Slrsdy Voting and Heavy Ite.ult.--
An Int'rrnMcd Vote, hut the County t icket
Very Much Mixed—Partial Return,.
Had the w eather In this city been regulated
by the political barometer, a more clear and
pretty day could not have b jen selected for
the day of the election than yesterday proved
itself to be; aud hud the advocates of decorum
and good order nu autocratic dictum in ar
ranging and conducting the election, a more
quiet aud orderly result could scarcely
have been obtained. In short, the
election yesterday, considering the vast
interests "at stake, was one of the
most orderly that has been witnessed in this
city for years. The election law regarding
the Bellini of liquor was rigidly enfocred,
which, primarily, had much to do in preserv-
ing order, but, besides this fact, there seemed
a general disposition on the part of ail to k -i. p
their political enthusiasm within the bounds
caslf ned in securing the proper olerioal forces,
an obstacle which will continue to oxist until
a charge in the election law, allows con-
ductors of election compensation commensu-
rate with the arduous labors incident to tha
work. The scene at the different polls through-
out the day was one of earnest ac-
tivity, all laboring assiduously in subserving
the interest of particular candidates, and do-
ing it in a quiet and steadfast manner, looking
to the securing of the best possible results. In
this connection, a close observation developed
a very general revolution in the manner of
voting, and one that is withal comtneudable;
namely, that a large majority of the ballots
were polled irrespective of that pernicious
drumming system—a practice so general of
late at elections. Instead it ballots being in-
fluenced by pol iticrl drummers at the polls, they
were cast secretly by the voters, thus perplexing
so-called political workers, who sel their influ-
ence to candidates as a matter of legitimate
traffic, A result of this so-called vest pocket
voting was that but little satisfactory conclu-
sion could be arrived at as the way
the "cat was Iumplntr" From results
so far obtainable it isisafeto conjecture that
the Democratic National ticket has received a
handsome majority in the city, as well as the
Democratic congressman. As to county
< fflcers it is almost impossible to predlot who
are the successful candidates, except where
I here was no opposition, as for instance in tho
rase of county judge, assessor and justice of
the peace, First precinct, which are the only
notable instances. The contest for sheriff, dis-
trict aud county clerks and collector are par-
ticularly lively, and any conclusions advanced
as to these offices are but speculations at bast.
'I he vote of the county at the last presidential
election was a fraction over 5000. It is esti-
mated that the vote of yesterday will reach
♦iOOO in round figures.
Only partial returns could lie obtained last
night up to the time of going to pre**, and
they are as follows:
second ward.
In this ward 482 votes were polled. The
system of count adopted here precluded tha
possibility of giving even the partial returns
fairly, as the ballots were first assorted and
the straight Democratic tickets taken up first
and counted. Up to midnight last night 142 of
these straight Democratic tickets had been
counted.

fourth ward.
In this ward 030 votes were polled. Up to
12 o'clock something over 100 votes were

summary.
The above return* are but meager, and
from them little if any satisfaction can ha
gained. None of the wards will complete
their count before this morning, and in the
larger wards, the Third, Fourth and Fiftb,
the count may be prolonged until to-night, or
even later. The method of counting the votes,
while attended with its conveniouce to the
clerks, assorting them and counting straight
ballots first, gives very unsatisfactory results
when but partial returns are given.
note8.
The election returns as exhibited last night,
corner Tremont and Market, by a magic lan
tern attracted general attention and detained
a large crowd till midnight—the returns be
ing Associated press bulletins.
Republican headquarters weie established
last night at the Tremont hotel and was a cen-
ter of interest, where bulletins were received
and contents eagerly devoured.
Houlahan's Cleveland and Hendricks ban-
ner that adorned tho hall at the Democratic
State convention was conspicuously displayed
last night at tho corner of Tremont and Mar-
ket streets.
The Njws building lost night was the cen-
ter of attraction and its visitors were legion.
After the counting of votes in the Ninth
ward bad been discontinued last night, auii
deferred untii 9 o'clock this morning, acting
upon the protest of several of the parties in-
terested, the count was resumed and continued,
and will not conclude until about 9 o'olock this
morning.

Quite a little excitement was create ! yes-
terday af ternoon, between I and 2 o'clock, in
the neighborhood of Fifteenth and <Vinnie
vtroels, by the discharge of a pistol. Tha
v capon was in the hands of Helen Jones, a
white girl employed at Mr. M Shaw's, an 1
tho target was a negro woman named Chris
tina Lubric. alias French Marie, who, it ap
pears, had in some way provoked the Ire of
Helen Jones. The ball passed through the
bonnet of Christina, doing no further damage.
It is reported that the colored woman was
passing along the Btreet when Helen Jones
came out of the house and fired at her. The
latter has been arrested and locked iu jail.

GENERAL BEAUREGARD.
W hot He Think, or the Result of the Civil War.
[Now York World.]
At Edison's office on Thursday I met General
P. T. Beauregard, the Rebel commander who
li pan the war by capturing Fort Sumtor,
end who afterwards held Bull Run against the
omot of us "Yanke." I told him I read with
interest his article in the Contury, and his ar-
raignment of Jeff Davis for uot permitting
him to capture Washington after the stampede
at Bull Run. I added that the los.s of our
capital would have caused the North to enlist
en ma EEC and precipi tate itself bodily upou his
aimy.
"Yes," he raid, " very likely it would have
excited the North very much. But, yet, it
was the thing to do. Victories are not to bo
shunned on the ground that they will exas-
pernte the enemy. If you can't risk exasperat-
ing the enemy you had better not fight him.
It was the way Napoleon did, tha way Fred-
erick the Great <iid—tboy couceutrated and
struck rapidly before the enemy could catch
bis breath. If Mr. Davis had let ina cross the
Potomac up at Leeboro or Conrad's Ferry
witb such an army as could have been had in
August, 1861, I believe wo could have cap-
tured Washington, freed Maryland and wou
immediate recognition of the Confederacy by
both France and England."
" You go so far," I said, "as to express your
willingness to have exchauged Richmond for
Washington."
"Certainly," ho answered. "Washington
was something: Richmond strategetically
nothing. Our capital ought never to have
boeii et Richmond, anyhow. It ou^hl to have
been kept at Montgomery. By moving it close
to the Federal lines it became a constant source
of weakness."
" Do you wish the South had succeeded?" I
inquired.
"Now. what sort of an answer do you ex-
pect to that question?'' laughingly answered
Geneial Beauregard in retort. " Nobody can
tell at this day whether the sucoess of the
Confederate cause would have been better for
either party or not. The thing which I advo-
cattd for was a commission of both sides to
meet amicably before the out break and effect a
permanent peace by both sides conceding
soirething. It seeiued possible, and even
easy. It would have been more difficult
after the war, if the Confederacy had auc-
cei ded, but even in f lint case I don't believe the
two sections could have been kept apart.
Tbey belong together and must somehow have
coalesced. I never was a thick and-thin advo-
cate of slavery, and after the war I was one
of the firet to advise the South to accept the
terms of reconstruction offered them
Whether the abolition of slavery was worth
the oceans of good blood it cost—well, I don't
know. I am by no means sure of it."
General Beauregard is a medium-sized man,
in rosy health, n good talki-r and a brilliant
listener, with a clear eye and a delicate mouth,
short gray hair, soft, small ditto moustache
and ditto imperial, a mere tassal on his under
lip- __ p
A t ampAlgn ItemlniHcence.
fAllectown (Pa.) Register.]
When ex-Secretary of War and ex-United
States Senator Ramsey, of Minnesota, was
nominated for Congress some thirty years
ago, in the district composed of Lebanon,
Dauphin and Schuylkill, this State, the vote
was Very close, and in order to g«t a majority
it was not safe to lose n single ballot. Ramsey
had picked up some Dutch, and could swaar a
little in our Pennsylvania lingo. When ina
king speeches he took occasion to show off all
the Dutch be knew, and his mild profanity
took emaringly in some quarters. One of
Itamsey's rno.-t stauuch supporters was Jacob
Byrod, of Dauphin county, a justice of the
peace. One day a Whig Methodist preachar
entered the squire's office, and tha squire wel-
comed bim with the remark: " Wasn't that a
bully speech Ramsey made last night?" Tha
reply of the minister was a surprise. He did
not like the speech at all; said Ramsey had
sw orn fifty-two times, and that he (the preaoh-
ei) hael come to bring complaint against the
speaker for profanity. Now, Squire Bvrod
was a conscientious man, and wished to do his
duty, though borrifie 1 at tho thought of a de-
fection of the Methodist Whigs. So he looked
ever the statute; calmly and honestly, and then
with a sigh of relief told the minister th*t ac-
cording to Purdon's digest it was no crime to
swear in Pennsylvania Dutch, thai, language
not being recogn /ed by the laws. The minis-
ter went, away satisfied, the Methodist Whigs
did not break, and Ramsey was elected.

LETTER FROM HYATT.
A Word on the Lra.e Law—Railroad Note.—The
New. Enterprise, Etc.
PTo The Niiws.l
Hyatt, Tyler county, Tex., November S,
1884. — Although this letter will reach its
destination after the election has been decided
and the candidates for both state ami national
offices have been chosen, yet I think a line of
brief review of Hon. W. L. Douglass's (Demo-
cratic nominee for state senator from this—
the First—district) speech at this place on Sat-
urday evening last would not be amiss, a? it
contained more Bound logic and statesmanlike
as well as business sense than a good many wa
have heard during the present campaign. Mr.
Douglnss briefly but succinctly deflnod what
is known as the lease law, aud showed con
clusively wheroin it was preferable to a flual
sale of lands belonging to the school fund
proper, and whose lease would this year, by
the first of January, put into the stata
tieasury an amount approximating close oa
to $500,000, with the lands stiil in pos
session of the school children, nnd open
for lease, or agricultural purposes in the fu-
ture. The same is the case in what is kno wn as
the pine lands of eastern Texas. It saem9 that
some four years ago the East Texas Land
company purchased large bodies of lands in
Haidin, Tyler and other counties along the
line of the East Texas railway, paying
therefor a minimum price of $1 per acre.
Now, the sawmills alouz the line of this
road—of which there are about twenty—pay
a stumpage of so much per thousand feet of
lumber saweel by each mill. 1 was book-keep-
er for Messrs. Noble & Shelton last year, at
their mill, in Hardin county, and know that
their mill paid a monthly stum page averaging
$5 to 97 per acre, thuB giving these easteru
speculators a profit of 400 to 500 per eeut ou
their investment. This is altogether wrong,
and the Nineteenth legislature would do well
to look into this matter, as we are sure it will
if Douglass goes to the upper house. Another
thing the honorable gentleman alluded to,
which struck us with remarkable force, i. e ,
a lien low, giving to the daily laborers a lian
prior to all others upon any lumber in mill
yards, or ties upon railroads, for tha
amounts due them for daily labor. I
em personally cognizant of several
mills that have not paid their laborers for
months. We say with Douglass, by all means
give the laboring man a show. We believe
the mill owners along this road are all, or
nearly all, honorable gentlemen, and desire to
do the correct thing;yet, still, thev, as well as
other contractors who employ labor at a
stipulated price, should be made to respect the
rights of their employes, and if they fail to
"pay up" in the standard currency of the
country, and not in commissary checks—as
fome have Jieen doing—there should be a law
!*rsed to keep them in check and aid the poor
man in getting his honest dues. Mr. Douglass
alto spoke of tlie heavy ralus aud damage done
to a large poitionof farming lands in Hardin
Tyler and Angelina counties, last spring,
thereby causing an almost total failure of
crops of all sorts, and proposed to introduce a
bill In the next legislature exempting these
counties from a certain amount of taxation.
This is right, anrl nothing more than just to
a portion of our citizens who labor hard and
have no other means of support than by their
daily labor, or through farming.
1 he change of officials along the Galvestoa,
Harrisburg aud San Antonio lallway system,
which has been threatened for some time, has
not yet been finally announced, although we
are credibly informed that th? pres )nt very
able and efficient roadmaster of the East Texas
division will be transferred to a western divl
sion, probably between Houston and San An-
tonio. We know Mr. Wm. Kallaher well, and
for tfce two years that he has been acting road
master on this division, has given universal
satisfaction to all who may have had businesi
relations or personal contact with him. Be-
tides being a thorough railroad man, Mr Kal-
laher is what is know as an " educated Irish
gentleman," one of the " real ould stock," aud
being a Btrong advocate of temperance, as
well as one who understands and knows how
to deal both with superiors and subordinates,
has made many warm friends iu his bailiwick,
who sincerely regret his departure, but wish
both himself and estimable lady all future
prosperity. W e have not learned tha name of
his successor, but believe lie hails from the
chalk banks of "hould Hingland."

C u t i c u r A
Miss Boynton's Caae of 8kin and Blood Dis-
ease—The Moat Remarkable Care
on Record.
I have been afflicted for one year and nine months
with what the doctors call rupia. I was taken with
dreadful pains in my head and body, my feet be-
came so swollen that I was perfectly helploss.8orr»s
broke out on my body and face, my appetite left
me, I could not sleep nights. I lost flesh, and soon
became so wretched that I longed to die. In this
condition, after trying various remedies, I encased
iwo homoeopathic physicians, Dr. and Dr. ,
nnd was under their treatment a year and a half,
and failed to get evr*n temporary relief. My disease
grew worse; my sufferings became terrible. I tried
" faith cure," but it was unsuccessful. Ktndfrion Is
then tried to get me into the City Hospital, but the
FUperintendent, after seeing me, declined to admit
such a case as mine there, and said I would not live
six weeks unless X was relieved.
On the 20th of April last, I sent for Dr. F. M.
lilodgett, of Boston. Hecatue, and after an exam-
nation pronounced my case the most hopeless he
had ever witnessed. My photograph, wnieU was
then tnken at his desire, while I lay propped up in
bed, shows the disease as It appeared on my face;
but no picture could possible indicate how much
pain and suffering I endured. Tho eruption had
ncreased to great burrowing, foul-s'nelling sores,
from which a reddish matter constantly poured,
forming crusts of great thickness. Other sores ap-
peared on various parts of rny bodv, and I became
so weak that I could not leave my bed.
In this condition, and by advice of Dr. Blodgett, I
)egan the use of the Cuticura Rkmedieh, the lta-
p< 'I.vent internally three times per day, and the
Ci ticura and Cuticura Soap externally. In just
sixty days, i. e., June 20, I was so far recovered as
to be able to go alone to the gallery aud sit for my
photograph, which shows more than words can do
the wonderful cure these remedies have wrcuirhtin
less than nine weeks. The sores have all disap-
peared from my face and body, my appetite and
strength have returned; I am free from pain, my
ill sh is increasing, ana I can go about and enjoy
life. My restoration to perfect health is now only
h matter of a few weeks. Mv friends tbink my cure
miraculous, and I shall never cease to feel that the
utictra Rkmkdiics have saved my life.

A Handkerchief for a Clew.
A IioBton dispatch says: A story in tho fam-
ily life of a manufacturer of Lynn is told, that
not only astonishes his friends, but is the talk
of all the Boston club-rooms. The gentleman
referred to, while a poor book keeper, nine-
teen years agonnrried his present wife. While
away on their wedding tour a daughter was
born. The fact was kept from the knowledge \
of friends and relatives, and the infant was by
an agent placed in the care of a thrifty Irish-
woman for a year or two. The child'i ex-
penses were paid by its parents. After that
no more money was received, and the woman
having charge of the little one was unable to
«et any traces of its parents and relatives,
he only clew she had was a handkerchief
among the child's clothes bearing some
initials. In the kindness of her heart she
brought up the girl at ber own expense, and she
is now a very prepossessing young lady. Not
Ions ago she became nITlioted with an affec-
tion of the eve resembling a cataract. Her
guardian finally took her to an oculist. The
physician was much interested in the case,
.and said that the only case he had ever seen
like it was that of Mrs. Blank, of Lynn. The
Irishwoman instantly noticed the coincidence
of initials, tbev being the same as those upon
the treasured handkerchief. An investigation
was begun. It «as found that the poor book-
keeper had become the Lynn manufacturer,
worth almost a million, when the facts were
presented to him privately he admitted them
and paid $7000 for his daughter's bringing up
nnd agreed to allow her $1500 annually here-
after. The cauple ho\ e other children and
I they do not know they have an elder sister,
t In belief, therefore, that this whole story-
could be kept quiet, this disowned chill is still
unackhonledged.

PILK8! PILK8! PILES!
A Hure Care For.nd at Last—IVo One Need Mitffer.
A sure cure for blind, bleeding, itching and
ulcerated piles has been discovered by Dr.
William (an Indian remedy), called Di\ Wil-
liam's Indian Ointment. A single box has
cured the worst chronic cafes of twantvdve
years standing. No one need suitor five
minutes after aj plying this wouderful sooth-
ing medicine. Lotions and instruments do
more harm than good. William's Ointment
absorbs the tumors, allays the intense itching,
(particularly at night after getting warm in
l ed), acts as a poultice, gives instant and pain-
less relief, and is prepared only for piles, itch-
ing of tho private parts, and for nothing else.
Bead what the Hon. J. M. Coflinberry, of
Cleveland, says about Dr. William's Indian
Pile Ointment: " I have used scores of pile
cures, and it affords me pleasure to say that I
bave never found anything which gave such
immediate and permanent relief as Dr. Wil-
liam's Indian Ointment." For sale by all drug-
