If tlx* cause of reform fails to
tiiiiinpli i" the pending presidential
canvass, tlie reason will be that the
common sentiment of the honest and
patriotic mass of the people could not
express itself definitely and decisively
amidst the distracting din and blinding
mists of party controversy. Stripped
of unnecessary and unwholesome ac-
cessories, the contest for the presidency
would be neatly defined between the
people and a corrupt administration.
In this light the Hon. Charles Francis
Adams considers the canvass. The
canvass, he says in a letter read before
a Tihlen and Hendricks mass meeting
recently held in New York city, "is
narrowing itself daily more and more
into a struggle between the people
and the managers who hold the ollicial
organization of the country for their
own exclusive benefit. From the days
of the Credit Mobilier down to the last
exposures made by the investigations
of the last Congress, there is only one
conclusion to l>e drawn, and that is the
prevalence of corruption almost every-
where in the Republican organization.
The honest men do indeed make brave
and sincere efforts to resist this baleful
influence, but they are too often de-
feated to raise any just hopes of ultimate
success. This struggle has l>een going on
for years and no material change for
the better has been effected. The time
has now come for a radical change, and
the substitution of a wholly new influ-
ence tied by no restrictions other than
the genuine wishes of honest men of
all parties." This, unfortunately, is
rather an ideal view of the contest go-
ing on over the presidency. If the
contestants were tlie people on the one
hand and the interested upholders of an
indefensible administration on the oth-
er, victory would be certain for the
people, and for reform, which is essen-
tially and peculiarly their cause. But
" the managers who hold the official
organization of the countiy" have
worked with terrible efficiency in falsely
defining the canvass, and the question
between a justly dissatisfied people and
an administration obnoxious beyond
apology, has been almost completely
silenced in a furious uproar of contro-
versy about the antecedents, traditions
and associations, the abstract doctrines
and latent tendencies of two parties.
Mr. Adams, who disavows partisanship
either as a Republican or as a
Democrat, would do well to ex-
plain, if he can, how a " wholly
new influence tied by no restrictions
other than the genuine wishes of hon-
est men of all parties" is to be evolved
from the antagonisms, alienations, pas
sions and recriminations of such a
strife. The thing is obviously impossi-
ble. It is deeply to be regretted that
the battle for power in the present
emergency could not have been cast
upon different lines. We agree with
Mr. Adams in the conviction that it is
a case where the people ought to be ar-
rayed in resistless might for the over-
throw of " the managers who hold
the official organization of the
country." When vice prevails
and pernicious men bear sway
no parties should be known except an
administation which has abused power
anil violated its trust and an opposition
comprising the whole body of honest
and patriotic citizens. Moreover, there
should be methods short, sharp and de-
cisive, but peaceful withal, for deposing
rulers who, from corruption or incapa-
city, have proved unworthy to be en-
trusted with the official organization of
the country. Want of such methods is
a serious defect of our system of gov-
ernment. Perhaps it is destined
to prove a fatal defect. Surely
in republican America the peo-
ple ought to be able to get rid
of an obnoxious administration with
something like the case with which the
people of monarchical England are
able to get rid of an obnoxious minis-
try. The contrust is a practical satire.
In this country, with an overlapping,
perpetual Senate and an executive
which, once installed, can defy
the indignation of the people through
consecutive years, it seems im-
possible to make public opiuion
promptly effective against specific
public abuses by a specific
change of administrative practice. That
the remedy of peaceful civil revolu-
tion should not always be practicable
in a so-called representative government
is a monstrous contradiction. The best
statesmanship in the land should lose
no time in supplying this essential fea-
ture of a genuine system of representa-
tive government. Its absence has im-
perile.1 the peace of the country hereto-
fore, and the peril will be greater here-
after.
When it was announced to Messrs.
C. A. Whitney & Co., agents for Clias*
Morgan, at New Orleans, that the re-
mains of Gen. Bragg were or. their
way to Mobile, a special car for the
body of the General, and another for
Mrs. Bragg and friends, was immed
iately ordered for the occasion, which
was a graceful tribute to the dead hero,
and a delicate and acceptable favor to
the disconsolate widow and her immed-
iate friends. _
Tue City Engineer of New Orleans
reports that Bonnet Carre cravasse has
poured 200,000,000 cubic yards of mud
into the Western end of Lake Pontcliar-
train which, in case of long continued
blows from the east, will cause the
water to rise so as to threaten sub-
mergence of the city. The quantity
of mud deposited in the lake by the cre-
vasse named would be sufficient to
raise the general level of New Orleans
four feet.
The London Timet, noticing the
course of political events, gravely says:
" A widow lady named Butler has been
nominated for Congress in the Seventh
District of Massachusetts."
The Quarantine—New Orleans In-
dignant.
The New Orleans papers of October
1 fairly boil over with indignation at
the audacity of such insignificant
towns as New York, Pensacola, Shreve-
port and Galveston endeavoring to pro-
tect themselves from possible danger
by quarantining against the Crcscent
City. A meeting of merchants was
held at the Cotton Exchange, and funds
raised to send a deputation to Texas for
the purpose of conferring with the au
thorities, and, if possible, having the
restrictions removed. Of the result of
this meeting the Bulletin, of October 1,
has the following:
Prof. Joseph Jone* and Dr. Jo. T. Scott have
been selected fro represent the Cotton Ex-
change and business interests of New Orleans
in the matter of the Galveston quarantine,
and will depart this evening for Austin, via
Memphis and Little Hock. We must be per-
mitted to commend the wisdom of the policy
which has been adopted in going straight to
the Governor of Texas instead of wasting time
with the Galveston doctors. The question is
one of fact and justice which the Executive of
a great State can not aiTord to trifle with, and
we have a right to assume that in such an of-
ficial we shall meet intelligence and self-re-
spect enough to insure a prompt and right-
eous conclusion. It is unnecessary to say that
in l'rof. Jones and Dr. Scott we have secured
the very best and ablest advocates possible.
Both are eminent in their profession, and both
admirably qualified for the mission they have
been intrusted with. In wishing them a
speulyand successful trip we can not deny
ourselves the relief o* observing that their de-
termination to go to Austin instead of Galves-
ton indicates that the Bulletin's estimate of
the true inwardness of this quarantine affair
is the one popu arly subscribed to in New Or-
leans. It seems to be a case more within the
province of a law officer than a medical man
-—rather a ring-smashing than a sanitary en-
terprise.
Texas will be glad to know that New
Orleans is free from disease, and the
eminent physicians who have gone to
Austin will, no doubt, be courteously re-
ceived and their statements patiently
listened to, but that Gov. Coke will in-
terfere with the sanitary regulations of
this port we do not believe. Perhaps,
if the papers of New Orleans had made
publication of the deaths from yellow
fever as they occurred, and the Board
of Health bravely reported them as it
should have done, instead of ignoring
the existence of the disease at all for
more than a month, and then acknow-
ledging to " twenty-six cases, of which
sixteen died," less stringent measures
might have been thought sufficient. The
purpose of the Galveston Health Offi-
cer is to protect not only this city, but
the whole interior, and nc amount of
denunciation will deter him from strict
discharge of his dutjjjs.
With regard to the " true inwardness
of this quarantine affair," alluded to
above, the Bulletin has a long article,
headed " The Rivalry of Slander," from
which the following is a sufficient ex-
tract:
It is an open question whether ignorance or
malce predominates in the regular annual
policy pursued by Galveston, and occasionally
other neighbors of ours, toward New Orleans.
We have contempla:ed the periodical problem
as the return of autumn brings it around, and
the indications in favor of either theory have
thus far been so evenly balanced as to per-
suade us that spite and stupidity in equal
measure forin the inspiration of the act. Of
course we refer to the quarantine which Gal-
veston has just established against this city,
and of which it now appears the municipal
idiots of Shreveport have essayed a servile Imi-
tation. It ia difficult to discuss this subject
without intemperance of speech, so patent is
the outrage, the wanton and malignant in jury
that has buen inflicted on us; and yet the
time has undoubtedly come when we must
discuss it, and denounce if we can not undo
this wrong t whereof we are the victim.
All our mrechants are aware of the discrimi-
nations made against New Orleans in rail-
roads leading out from Galveston on lines
touching St. Louis. All of them know, be-
cause they have severally felt its conse-
quences, how eagerly and promptly Galveston
lias co-operated with St. Louis in all efforts to
exclude this eity from any participation in the
vast and growing Texas trade. This policy
has steadily developed in strength and system
since the first opening of the railway between
Galveston and St. Louis, and has extended its
scope and intensified its energy exactly in
proportion as the offshoots of the main trunk
stretched further into the interior and the
business of the road increased in bulk and
value. It is a deliberate and systematic
scheme, not only to exclude New Orleans
from the advantages created by the railway,
but to wrest from Tier even that portion of the
trade which she originally possessed before
St. Louis drummers ever dreamed of over-
running Texas, or St. Louis envy conceived
the idea of embracing slander and conspiracy
as elements of commercial enterprise.
If the Bulletin will trauspose the
words of the heading so as to make it
read " The Slander of Rivalry," it will
save the necessity for comment on its
ill-natured and baseless charges against
cities that have seen proper to protect
themselves against possible danger in
their own way. Readers will have no
I rouble in making the application.
Gen. Goitnox has returned to Atlanta
from South Carolina, where he has
been engaged in the campaign, and re-
ports an unmistakable division in the
negro vote sufficient to redeem the
State and carry it for Hampton if not
for Tilden. In conversation with a
ConKtihition reporter lie said he had
never since 1814 seen anything com-
parable to the universal interest mani-
fested by all classcs in this election. He
saw political clubs of both races, and
mixed clubs, on horseback carrying
Hampton banners. One of the
large*iubs that he saw was composed
of both whites and blacks, and the
banner was carried in the procession by
a colored member. The secret of it was.
that the colored race over there have
the greatest possible respect for and
confidence in liamj.ton, both on account
of his high character and his con-
spicuous kindness to them as a race.
The State was almost certain to be car-
ried by Hampton, and yet might go for
Hayes in November. On this point
Gen. Gordon said:
I think that a large number of Re-
publicans there favor the election of
Hampton, believing it the best for the
State. They will work for his election,
but will endeavor also to carry their
d*wn party majority for Hayes in No-
vember. In the opinion of many, that
will be the result of the two elections.
Theke will be a meeting of Demo-
cratic soldiers and sailors at Indianapo-
lis to-day, October 5, which will so far
eclipse, in all that is dignified and influ-
ential, the Republican demonstration of
last week, as to render comparison ridi-
culous. Among the list of distinguished
Democrats who have been invited to
attend are four 'Northern ex Governors
and thirty Union generals, among them
Hancock, McClellan, Hooker, Sigel,
Franklin, Slocum, Palmer, McCandless]
Ewing, Bteadman, Farnsworth, Den-
ver, Rosecrans, Banning and Bartlett.
The mortality at Charleston from
yellow fever by the epidemics of 1854,
18T)(5 and 1858, according to figures in
the Augusta Constitutionalist, was 614,
20<i and G80, respectively. The scourge
in each case began in August and ended
about the middle of November. I»
1858 frost came on the 9th day of No-
vember.
Gov. Hubbard to Canvaa. Indiana.
The News mentioned, a day or two
ago, that Gov. Hubbard would proba-
bly canvass Indiana, under the auspices
of the Young Men's Democratic Club.
Since then the President of the club,
John C. Walker, Esq., has had a letter
from Gov. Hubbard in which he ex-
presses the belief that the most despe-
rate efforts in Indiana will be after the
State election, which takes place on
Tuesday next, no matter what the re-
sult of that contest may be. The Young
Democracy think that Gov. Hubbard
can be of essential service to the cause,
and, understanding that he is willing to
make the canvass, leaving Texas about
the middle of the month, steps are to be
taken at once to arrange for his
taking the field. The Young Men's
Democratic Club of Galveston is called
to meet this evening for the put pose of
making nccessary preparations. Gov.
Hubbard's letter will be read, and the
proceedings generally will be interest
ing. The Tilden and Hendricks Minute
Men of Houston eo operate with the
Galveston club, and the zeal and energy
manifested by both organizvions are to
be commended. Gov. Hubbard is one
of the most effective stump-speakers of
the countrj', and his canvass of Indiana
can not but be of service to the Democ-
racy.
The statue of William II. Seward,
in Madison Square, New York, which
was unveiled last week, represents him
in a sitting position. The face is an
excellent likeness, and all the accesso-
ries truthful and appropriate. The
work was executed by Rogers. The
address on occasion of unveiling the
statue was delivered by Hon. William
M. Evarts, and was a most eloquent
tribute the departed statesman.
A private letter was received in the
city yesterday announcing the death of
Mr. John Maxwell, Jr., of Tuscaloosa,
Alabama. Mr. Maxwell was on a busi-
ness trip to New Orleans, where he was
attacked by fellow fever, with the result
stated. Friends of deceased living in
New Orleans, the letter states, had ad-
vised persons who contemplated going
to that city not to come, as the fever
still existed there in certain localities.
The tone of the press from all sec-
tions of the country betokens im-
proved business prospects. The Cin-
cinnati Commercial says merchants of
that city are in better spirits than for
several years past. The same is said of
the manufacturing towns of New
England.

Inaugural Exercises of tHe State
College of Useful Arts—Addresses
by Governor Coke and President
Uatlirlght.
[Special Telegram to tin Galveston News.]
Bryan, Oct 4, 1876.
The opening and dedication of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
took place to-day. Two of the direc-
tors, Governor Coke and Major Davis,
and all the faculty were present and
participated in the ceremonies. Three
or four hundred of our citizjns were
in attendance.
At 2 o'clock p. m. the opening ad-
dress was delivered by Gov. Coke. It
was able and eloquent, and deserves to
be preserved among the archives of the
institution. This was followed by an
impromptu and telling speech from
President Gathright; after which the
audience retired to the steward's hall
to partake of a sumptuous repast, pre-
pared for the occasion by the fair ladies
of Bryan.
Thus auspiciously has begun a new
era in education in Texas and, though
the attendance of students is not large,
there being not more than fifty cadet?
present, yet a start has been made and
this number will rapidly swell up to
:#X) or 400 during the session. The
faculty is one of the ablest in the South.
The facilities are equal to those of any
other college and there is no reason why
this shall not at once take a front rank
among the institutions of the country.
Gov. Hubbard did not arrive in time.
He is looked for to-night, as also Speaker
Bonner. The Board will meet. to-mor-
row for the transaction of important
business.
WACO.
Arrests In Consequence of the Mc-
Cans Murder— Theories of tbe
Atroetoua Crime.
♦
[Special Telegram to the Galeeston New*. \
Waco, Oct. 4, 1870.
A. W. Jones, a colo'red preacher and
school teacher, was arrested this even-
ing on the charge of being one of the
murderers of McCann. It is believed
the evidence will prove the colored Ma-
sonic fraternity of this city did the
work. The five negroes under arrest
are said all to tie Masons. The Dis-
trict Attorney says there is not a parti-
cle of doubt as to Jones being the
author of the card pinned on
the murdered man's coat. There
is a good deal of excitement
among the colored people. All the
parties concerned have heretofore borne
good characters.
It is said that McCann was expelled
from the Masonic fraternity some
weeks ago, on account of having had
carnal intercourse with one of the mem-
ber's wives, and after his expulsion
was charged with divulging the se-
crets. Another opinion is that one of
the brethren, a big church pillar, had
been accused of having criminal com-
merce with McCann's wife, and had
been threatened by McCann, and that
he then went before the secretary and
complained that his life was in danger
and demanded their protection.
A preliminary trial will take place
Monday.

HOUSTON, Oct. 4, 1874
The event in social circles of this
week was the marriage, which took
place at the Hebrew Temple this even-
ing, of Mr. Moses Raphael to Miss Lil-
lie Gerson. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Dr. Meyer, Pastor of
the Congregation. Both Israelites.
The Temple was filled with a fashiona-
ble audience of the friends of the par-
ties.
The affair had been on hand some
time. Both parties are young and hand-
some, accomplished and the center of
a large circle of admiring friends.
The ceremony was that of the Hebrew
faith. Mrs. Gerson and her brother Hon.
Henry S. Fox, gave the bride away,
and Mrs. Hannah Raphael and Sir. E.
Raphael stood up with the bridegroom.
The names of the four attendants of
the bride were Miss Lula Raphael,
daughter of Mr. A. J. Raphael, Miss
Lillie Nussbaum, Miss Fannie Gerson
and Miss Leonora Harby.

TRAGEDY IN IIIUH LIFE.
A Rasli and Bloody Deed By a
Orandson of I*r*sld6nt Harri-

Cincinnati, Oct. 4.—William Henry
Harrison, grandson of the former Pres-
ident of the United States, yesterday
entered the residence of Joseph Moore,'
of Boone county, Kentucky, made a
proposal of marriage to Miss Mary
Moore, eldest daughter, and, upon be-
ing rejected, stabbed the lady nine
times in the breast and face. It is
thought she can not recover. Harrison,
who is about forty years of age, had
lost his wife only about a year ago, and
of late had been visiting" Miss Moore
frequently, but had received no encour-
agement on account of his dissipated
habits.
THE HOG PRODUCT.
Washington, Oct. 4—The Agricul-
tural Department reports a decrease of
stock of hogs in the packing districts
of tbe Mississippi Valley, but a small
increase in Iowa and a large increase in
Missouri. The average for the corn
region of the West is made five per
cent, in number lower than last year.
Very small decrease of condition.
Indianapolis, Oct. 4.—The National
Pork Packers' Convention convened,
with nine Western and Southern States
represented. More delegates are ex-
pected.
The Pork Packers' Convention elect-
ed J. M. Sinclair president, with a vice-
president from each State represented.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
against what are called '* option deals "
in provisions and foiling on members
of the convention to use their influence
to secure the passage of such laws by
the Legislatures of the several States as
will be necessary to declare option deals
illegal. The Committee on Business
reported against change of standard of
cot and cure provisions. After adop-.
tion of a number of complimentary
resolution*, adjourned sine die.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
The Tenor of tbe Dispatches DIs-
conraglnjt to the Advocates of
Peace—Great and Increasing Anx-
iety Manifest Throughout Europe,
London, Oct. 4.—A News dispatch
from Bucharest says peasants in the
neighborhood of Batak are starving.
The Turks forbade threshing until the
tithes were paid.
A Times Vienna dispatch says 7000
Russian volunteers, including 185 olii
cers, are in Servia.
The Therapia correspondent of the
Times in a letter of September 26, says
the Porte grounds its resistance to the
demands of the powers on its alleged
inability to curb the passions of the
mob. The Turkish ministers allege
that they are constantly receiving
anonymous letters, and placards are
posted at every corner of Stamboul
threatening popular vengeance on the
government if they accept conditions
incompatible with the dignity of the
empire. Shrewd persons are inclined
to believe that these menaces are pre-
arranged by the government itself, but
many European residents and even Mjme
of the diplomats, especially Mr. Elliot,
British Ambassador, are disquieted by
them. The panic in Pera is almost as
general as in May last at the time of the
Softa movement.
The Times's Berlin dispatch says the
Turkish Cabinet declared it can net be
expected to indorse the programme,
concerning which such differences exist
among the Powers themselves. There
is every reason to believe Austria will
decline to make common cause with
Russia as long as Andrassy remains in
office.
Paris correspondence of the Times
and Telegraph agree that Turkey, in
answer to the Powers, refuses to grant
amnesty. The Paris correspondent;of
the Telegraph is not assured that Aus-
tria has definitely refused the Russian
proposal. Meanwhile Austria has com-
municated the proposal to the other
Powers. The dispatch says Austria
says she will not undertake occupation
of Turkish territory, except at the re-
quest of the Powers.
A Belgrade dispatch to the News says
Turkey is disposed to grant an armis-
tice of three weeks at the suggestion of
England. A Paris correspondent says
it is believed England has taken a neu-
tral relation, by requesting Russia to
make the last effort to induce Turkey
to come to terms by fair means.
Prince Milan has written Gen. Su
marrakoff, the Czar's aide do camp, a
letter of apology, exculpating himself
in the matter of the royal proclama-
tion.
Athens, Oct. 4.—The President of
the Council of Ministry, replying to a
deputation, urged continuance of neu
trality in the Turkish war.
London, Oct. 4.—The Eastern Bud-
get states that Russia has declared she
will do the utmost to prevent Servia
from continuing the war if Austria and
England will induce Turkey to grant a
formal armistice.
A special from Berlin says theguaran
teeing powers have made a collective
remonstrance calling upon the Porte to
accept their proposals. It is hoped
this measure will be effectual. As it is
thought the Porte rejected the proposi-
tion bccause of the excitement of the
population, it would not be displeased
if the powers applied further pressure,
so as to provide it an excuse for ulti-
mately yielding.
Reuter's telegram from Constantino-
ple says the Sultan has sanctioned the
last decision of the extrdordinary coun-
cil. looking to a plan of reforms appli-
cable to the whole empire, including
removal of all disabilities from Chris-
t'ans.
The Levant Herald states that instead
of a national council, comprising 120
members, a legislative body consisting
of 150 elected deputies, with a Senate
of 50, government authority over the
provincial administration will be exer-
cised by mixed councils, comprising
delegates from various communities.
This system will apply to the whole
empire.
Reuter's Belgrade dispatch says large
numbers of volunteers are joining Ser-
via from Germany. Fifty Bavarians
and Prussians lately arrived. A Ra-
gusa dispatch says four Bosnian bat-
talions attacked the Turks at Klinstock
and the battle lasted all day. Three
hundred houses were burned, and the
Turks suffered severely.
AN INTERNAL REVENUE CASE.
New York, October 4.—Judge Sher-
man, of the United States Circuit Court,
has decided the following case in favor
of the government: John Hallahan, a
distiller, made true returns of all
the spirits distilled by his firm,
and was regularly assessed and
the tax collected by distraint. After-
wards the government brought suit
upon these bonds to recover nearly a
thousand dollars, which was the tax
under section 20 of the act of July 20,
1868—eighty per cent, of the producing
capacity of liis distillery, as determined
by the official survey, less the tax
already collected. One Devlin, a surety,
was alone served in the case.
Devlin set up in defense the assess-
ment and previous collection of taxes
upon true return of spirits actually pro-
duced, and that no lawful assessment
had been made. The case was tried by
the court, upon an agreed statement of
facts, in substance as above.

ELECTIONS OF OCTOBER
The Result in Colorado Likely to
be Modified by Later Returns.
Indications of a Light Vote
Georgia with a Heavy Demo-
cratic Majority.
in
Good Republican Authority that
Florida will be Cairied by
the Democrats.
Denver, Oct. 4.—Los Animas coun
ty gives a Democratic majority of 300
—a Democratic loss of 73.
Bent county a Democratic majority
of 100—loss of 53.
The Republicans have undoubtedly
carried the State by a decided majority,
and both branches of the Legislature,
which elects two United States Senators
and three presidential electors.
The result in Colorado will bring
Mr. Chaffee, another of the Jones
Shacoa.class, to the UititjaLSlates Sen
ate.
Washington, Oct. 4.—A telegram
was received from Colorado to-day at
the headquarters of the Republican'Na
tional Committee, declaring that that
State had gone Republican and that the
Republicans had elected the Governor
and had a majority in the Legislature.
At the Democratic headquarters the
following dispatch was received: " Re-
turns come in slowly, but are most en-
couraging. We claim the State officers
and Legislature."
Chicago, Oct. 4.—The Times's Den
ver special says: "The election was
quietly conducted, though there was
great excitement all over the State.
Gov. Routt called out the State militia
to suppress a reported outbreak on the
southwestern border. Indications are
that the vote will be very close. Re-
turns favorable to the Democrats come
from Colorado Springs. Majorities for
Democrats are reported from Central
City, Blackhawk, Trinidad and other
places, the State, county and Legisla-
tive tickets being successful in those
places. The Democratic headquarters
at Denver is the scene of the greatest
excitement, and the Democrats claim
the election of Hughes for Governor,
Patterson for Congress and the whole
Legislative ticket."
latest official.
Denver, Oct. 4.—There is no longer
any doubt that the Republicans have
carried this State by a majority approx-
imating 2000. Official reports show a
ratio of gains by them which, if sus-
tained in sections not heard from, must
increase the majority to 2500. -
In Los Animos county the Demo
cratic majority is 150, and the liepubli
can gain 223. Boulder county, Repub
lican majority 600, gain 574. Gilpin
county, Republican majority 250, gain
298. Park county, Republican majori-
ty 80, gain 225. Jefferson county, 25
Republican majority, gain 216. Clear
Creek county, Republican majority 110,
gain 141. El Paso, Republican majori-
ty 350, train 287. Castillo, Republican
majority (estimated) 400, gain 441.
Conejos, Republican majority (esti-
mated) 300, gain 395. Elbert county,
Republican majority 60, gain 273.
Nela county, Republican majority 325,
gain 181.
Pueblo county, Democratic majority
175; democratic a:ain, 1. Sauguache
county, Republican majority (estimated)
117; Republican gain, 132. Rio Grande
county, Republican majority, 125; Re-
publican gain, 175.
The San Juan mining regions, it is
believed, will give the Republican
ticket a majority of 300 at least. The
chairman of the Republican State Com-
mittee claims 21 of 26 countics in the
State and three-fourths of the Legisla-
ture.
Denver, Oct. 4.—Official figures are
coming in slow. Still heavier Republi-
can gains and majorities than last
night's dispatches indicated are report-
ed. Arapahoe county gives the Repub-
licans 420 majority; Boulder county,
419 majority. The Republicans gain
in these two counties 1522. Democra-
tic loss in Los Animas county, their
strongest county, will be 25 per cent,
more than before estimated, and they
lose a member of the Legislature from
that caunty. The Democrats concede
the State to the Republicans, who claim
2000 majority. The Legislature will be
two-thirds Republican in each House.
Atlanta, Oct. 4.—The election was
quiet. Indications of a light vote.
Democratic majority large.
Savannah, Oct. 4.—Democratic ma-
jority in Chatham county, 920; Sumter
county, 500; Pierce, 180. Everything
passed off quietly.
Augusta, October 4.—The election
passed off quietly. About 2800 votes
were polled, of which Col. Colquitt re-
ceived 2200 and Norcross 600.
Washington, Oct. 4—The Star has
the following in its notes: " Solon
Robinson, many years agricultural edi-
tor of the New York Tribune and now
a resident of Florida, says, although he
is a staunch supporter of Hayes, Flori-
da will certainly go Democratic and he
will cast his vote for the Democratic
State ticket. It is time, he thinks,
Florida had an lionest State govern-
ment. The Democratic nominees for
Congress will also be elected.
Dover, Oct. 4.—The little election
for inspectors throughout the State, a
sure indication of the course of the
State in the big election, resulted in
favor of the Democrats. Senator Bayard
was serenaded last night.
FINANCE.
What the National Bankers' Con-
vention Did Yesterday.
Philadelphia, Oct. 4.—The Bankers'
Convention, C. B. Hall, of Boston, Pre-
sident. Report of Committee on Or-
ganization of an American Bankers'
Association and revising of constitu-
tion and by-laws was read and adopted.
Chas. B. Hall was elected President for
the ensuing year, and an Executive
Council of nine was appointed. A com-
mittee was appointed to draft resolu-
tions commendatory of the heroic con-
duct of R. A. McMartin, cashier of the
National Bank of Columbia, Ky., and
Mr. H. Raymond, cashier of the First
National Bank of Northfield, who lost
their lives while defending the vaults.
Hon. Hugh McCullough, ex-secreta-
ry, addressed the convention. He re-
viewed the National Bank system dur-
ing Mr. Chase's administration of the
Treasury Department, and coming
down to the present time touched upon
the specie resumption question. lie
thought the country would be ready to
resume specie payments in 1879. He
said as soon as resumption took place
it would lift the country out of the
slough of despondency in which it has
been.sunk for the last three years. M r.
McCullough spoke of the double stand-
ard for gold and silver, strongly ad-
vocating a single standard only."
Vulcan a Verity.
New York, Oct. 4—A spccial from
Paris says the existence of the planet
Vulcan, a body nearer the sun than
Mercury, is confirmed.
The Reflux of Specie.
New York, Oct. 4.—£50,000 was re-
ceived at the assay office from London
to-day. Total so far, £221,000.
The Colored Odd Fellows.
Memphis, Oct. 4.—The Thirty-first
Annual National Grand Lodge of
Colored Odd Fellows opened here to-
day with 46 delegates present.
RAILROAD NEWS.
The Gainesville Yidette urges the citi
zens of Cooke and Grayson counties
to accept the proposition of the Texas
and Pacific Company to continue the
road to Cooke county. There will be
about twenty-five miles of the road to
build to reach the graded line of the
Trans-Continental, west of Sherman.
By building this road the company will
receive the land grant of four hundred
sections, which can be sold on the mar
ket at $100 per section, realizing the
sum of $40,000, which would be suffi
cient to grade one-half of the line, and
the balance must be raised by subscrip
tion.
Mr. J. W. Downs, of the Waco Ex-
aminer, who was one of the delegates
to the railroad convention at Fairfield,
writes, in reply to the question, " When
are you going to build that road?" The
answer is, whenever Waco or McLennan
county comes squarely up with her part
of the work, and not before. More
largely interested and better able than
others, she is expected to do the greater
part; is looked to for encouragement
and for an example worthy of imita-
tion. Let not any deceive themselves;
McLennan county must do a big part or
else the work as a whole will Lever be
done.
Cotton will be taken from Round
Rock over the International to Galves-
ton at the same rates as over the Cen-
tral. •
The Austin Statesman is informed by
merchants that the International Rail-
road Company will this week establish
a freight office in that city and here-
after give through bills of lading to
Galveston and other places. The re-
duction in freights on cotton from
Austin to Galveston will be, it is said,
fifty per cent, less than heretofore.
The railroad company has employed
Messrs. Evans <fc Walker to do the
hauling with their big flats between
this city and Duval.
Greenville people are again agitating
the railroad question. This time they
are for a road from Sherman to Mineola
via Greenville. Sulphur Springs also
wants the road by that way, and it is
suggested that the International build
to Sulphur Springs from Mineola, and
then the Sherman and Mineola road
will be apt to come there.
The Sharman Register notices another
shipment of cattle from that point to
St. Louis, over the Trans Continental
line, and adds that the cattle arrive in
St. Louis twelve hours earlier by that
route than by the M., K. and T. road.
The Observer is buoyant with the hope
that Rusk will be a great railway center.
The Dallas Herald says: The calling
in of 70 percent, upon the entire stock
of the Texas and Pacific Railway Com-
pany within six weeks from this date
evidently means business. Tne stock
of the compauy can not be less than
fifty millions of dollars, and 70 per cent,
upon any sum approximating this
would carry far into the great West
this enterprise fraught with so much
interest to North Texas and the South.
Weatherford_may well be jubilant over
the prospect of a speedy extension.
At least One mile of the railroad
track has been laid toward San Antonio,
west of the Guadalupe. The freight
depot at Marion is the most commo-
dious on the G., II. and S. A. R. R.
but notwithstanding this, and the fact
that large additions to its commodities
are being made, there is not room
enough to store the vast quantities of
freight coming up, bound westward.
Cars loaded with freight stand motion-
less on the side tracks, because there is
no place to discharge their burdens.
Every arrangement has been made
for the prompt recommencement of
work upon the Wichita road, and by
December 1st twenty-five miles of iron
will be laid down and locomotives run-
ning.
