GEoRGIA.-The N. Y. Morning Cou-
rier and Enquirer copies n table OF re-
turns in SO counties from the Augusta
Consttutionalist, strong and decided
Van Buren paper, which gives the Wing
candidates for Congress an average ma
jority Of 1000 votes. 80 counties remain
to be heard from. Unless the back parts
of the State give an unexpected increase
in the Van Buren, counties, there is the
strongest probability of the election of
the Wing candidates for Congress, and
much reason to hope for q majority in the
State Legislature. The Van Buren
majority in the whole State, the last year
was 25lO.
The following extract Of a letter, to
the Editor Of the Courier and Enquirer,
written when returns from 81 counties
had been received in Macon, Geo. will
be found interesting.
MACON, Geo. Oct. 9Th, 1886.
JAMES w. WEBB, Esq.
"We have now had returns from thir-
ty-lour counties out Of ninety which give
the Anti.Van Buren, or White party, a
clear majority Of 2648, and a clear gain
upon their vote Of last year of 1923 votes.
Sc counties are yet TO be heard from
Admitting the Van Buren, party to get
the same vote in the counties they did
the last year, they will still be beaten by
a majority Of 1876 votes in the whole. -
But this will not be the case, as every
county yet to be heard from, will give a
large gain over their vote Of the last
year against Van Buren,"
The writer then expresses his belief
Of the election Of Anti-Vnn Buren mem
bers Of Congress, and handsome ma.
jority in the State Legislature. or this
latter result, we entertain, we are free
10 confess, some considerable doubts.
There can be little question however,
if the Van Buren, members Of Congress
prevail by lean majority OF some lew
hundreds in the whole, that the Electo-
raj vote is safe for White.

the certain forerunners Of despotism. Is the
American Revolution and our boasted free
dom TO be turned into farce, or a tragedy?
This levelling, ,disorganing spirit is not con-
fined to the city of Baltimore. In no country
on earth is there n greater mass Of corrupt
and corruptiDg materials than is contained in
our own country at this moment. For fifty
years it has been the common receptacle for
all that is vile from all quarters Of the world
And there is no want Of Robesperres to EN-
ploy this democracy of the country" for their
aggrandizeInent. 1t is dangerous for the peo-
Pile to rest so secure in their strength as new
er to mark the insidious encr cLinents which
corrupt ambition is constantly making upon
their free institutions. The busy inhabitants
of distempered city are never sensible Of
the increasing Impurities Of the atmosphere
they breathc-never perceive the approach hes
Of the contagion until they are seized by the
hand Of death.
Let us not deceive our selves; projects for
the subversion of the Constitution and Gov
ernment of country are never conceived un-
til the times are ripe, or fast ripening for their
execution.

From the second edition of the NY Cour. s. Enq
Ono ELEcTIoNs-The elections in
this State have gone gloriously. So far
as we have received returns, the chang.
es in favor Of the Wing cause have been
great beyond even our expectations
The following results prove this pretty
effectually. Madison county where, in
1884, we had 81 majority, has now CIV
en- US 200. Franklin where in the same
year we had a majority Of l75, we now
have 767. In Champagne, we had in
1884 majority of 485, now one Of $50
Clarke gave us that year 667, now she
gives US lll2. Green gave US 49, now
she gives 800! Licking, which in 1884
had a majority against us of 8ll, has re-
duced it at this election to $50.
A letter to Col. Webb from New Lis
bon, (Ohio,) Of Oct. 10Th, states-that
in the 18th Congressional District, where
Thomson ". b. two years ago defeat
ed Richardson (Whig) by majority of
1913 votes, Loomis (Whig) is elected
over Nc Cook ". b. by respectable
majority. Thus the former accounts are
confirmed. The writer adds-"We have
heretofore allowed the Vanites $50 ma
jority at the Presidential election, bu. l
now think the majority for Harrison will
be about 300. believe that Harrison's
majority in the State will not be less than
90, 900, in November"

The Philadelphia correspondent ofthe
New York Express proves, by an inter
esting calculation, that if the Wings had
turned out with more zeal, and polled less
than 1900 more votes, they would have
carried l2 additional counties, which
send 81 members of Assembly. Only
think Of our losing 81 members Of As

PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST VoTE OF PENN

j
syLvANiA.
We are far from giving up a confident
hope and belief, that the vote Of Penn
sylvania, in spite Of recent onnous ap-
pearances ,wIll get be found in ihe Eiecio-
raj contest, on the side Of sound principles,
and the men that have maintained them
under every encouragement. But, ad-
hitting that we are mistaken in this be-
lief-admitting that the honest yeoman-
ry of that State are willing to be led
blindfold to the reckless destruction Of
their most valuable institutions, and can
submit quietly to have President i'm
posed upon them, alien to their interests,
WILL THE VOTE OF PENNSYLVANIA DE-
,TERMINE THE CONTEST? We think net.
We believe il to be, on the contrary, de-
monstrable, that with the votes now sure
to be cast for Wing candidate in the
States where elections have already tax
en- place, added to the vote Of either Vir-
ginia, or Georgia in our favor, even il
Pennsylvania be finally lost to US, ,ce are
certain Of success. That one, if not both,
of these States will 90 for the Wings, is
scarcely, we think, to he seriously con-
troverted. IfGeorgia elect Whiie-elec-
tors, as present appearances indicate,
we shall succeed, at the lowest compu-
tation, in the choice Of l47 Electors, one
more than n majority Of the whole num-
Der to be elected, as il is impossible no,o
that Michigan shall vote.
If Virginia vote with US, as we trust
and believe she will, and Georgia fail
US, we shall then elect l59 Electors
thirteen more than is necessary 10 a
choice. IL both these States 60 with us,
our vote will be 10 out Of the whole
number 29l-24 more than is necessary
TO choice. And this, as we have be-
fore stated, on the supposi,ion, that ire
lose Pennsylvania, contingency, which
we are far from beng ready to admit
We have said nothing Of the strong pros
pect Of carrying New Jersey and Rhode
Island, whose votes united would secure
the same result-even were Pennsylva-
MIA, Virginia, and Georgia arrayed in a
body against us. The Jackson majori-
ty in New Jersey, so strong last year,
has been reduced by the late election to
a mere nullity-not more than 900 votes;
and any determined effort in that State
and this, on the part Of the Wings, would
effectually carry them for the Constitu-
tional cause.
Whole number Of Electors, exclusive
Of Michigan, 29l. Necessary to choice

Glorious and Triumphant
Victory.

ELECTION IN OHIo.-The returns from
the intelligent and patriotic state of ONO
are Of the most gratifying character. 1t
is ascertained, beyond all reasonable
doubt, that the whole state has given the
Wing tickets for Governor, members Of
the state Legislature, and members Of
Congress, a most decisive and unprece-
dented triumph. Ono, now, may be
safely set down for HARRISON by at
lenst 10000 majority. We cory the
most interesting details from the N. Y.
papers received here by yesterdays

COLUMBUS, Ono, Oct. II, 1886.
The polls of our annual election clos
ed al this afternoon. In this Frank
lin county we have carried the uhole
Harrison ticket by upwards of 400 ma
jority. Last year the V. b. ticket car
ried by 299. We are guile sure of an o.
overwhelming victory in Ohio-a perfect
Waterloo concern.

OFFICE OF THE TINES,
CAMBRIDGE, Ono, Oct. IL, 1886.
Yesterday the battle was fought, and
the Van Buren party met with a Water
loo defeat. Joseph Vance, the Wing
candidate for Governor received ma.
jority Of two hundred and seventy nine.
James Alexander, jr. the Wing candi-
date Tor Congress, received majority
Of one hundred and sixty-two. Samuel
Bigger, the candidate for Representa-
tive to the Legislature, received ma
jority Of one hundred and seventy.two.
This is not the official return, but il is
as near the true statement as we can OBJ.
tain at present. If there is any differ
ence il will be in favor Of the Wings

sion, Austin wrote to the municipal au-
thorities in Texas, urging them to pro-
claim the new constitution in spite of the
general government Without doubt he
desired to precipitate the province into
rebellion for the desperate chance of OBJ
tanning thereby the blessings ofslavery.-
The Ayuntamiento of Bejar, upon receipt
OF Austln's communication, adopted dec
laration censuring him for it, and ordered
the whole subject to be referred with the
documents to the governor of CoahuIa and
Texas, and he Immediately passed them
to the President of the Mexican States
Meantime Austin had left the capital to
proceed homeward, but he was overtaken
by messenger of the government and ar
rested in the town of Saltillo on the from
tiers of Texas and Coahula, and brought
back to the city. This was the occasion
of his Imprisonment, which has elected 50
much sympathy in his favor from the press
Of the United States How little he mer-
