NEWPORT.
WEDNESDAY,, NOV 18th, 1887,

New YoRK ELEcTIoN.-The federal tick
ct has succeeded in the city by the follow
ing majorities: Verplank, for Senator, 2S6l
--l3 Assembly men, by the average major
ity of 2473-Hoxie, for County Clerk, 1916
Acker, for Sheriff, l639-w Wheeler for Cor
oner, 1864.
The whole number Of votes polled in the
city is 1884, being an increase Of 345
votes over the number polled last spring,
which was 34,999. The democrats have
majorities in nine wards out of seventeen,
and if the contest had teen for members of
the Common Council, they would have car
ried majority Of both boards.
The returns from the other connties are
greatly in favor of the federaIs. The Even
ing Post of Monday states their gain at six
ty six members Of Assembly, as far as the
returns were received, which will give. them
a large maturity in the House. Eigh, SEN
ators were chosen Mt this election, nll of
whom the feds. have elected, but there is
still democratic majority in that branch.
The Post, in commenting on the result
Of the election 10 the city, makes the follow
ing remarks
"Thc vote for the regularly nominated
democratic candidate for Mayor, Mr.. Nor
gan. was last spring 1900. The vote for
Mr.. Ferris, the democratic candidate for
Senator, is now Is, 5,42O. We have gained
nearly 1000 votes. The conservatives
have left Us, il is true, but their places have
been supplied not ouly with better men, but
moro ofthem."

gave him blow on the side Of his head
and immediately received blow in return

which the negro again stabbed his master
on the left SIDE, of which wounds Mr.. Nor.

was so pal pable, that but little argument

spent the balance of his life in merchandising and
farming. We have not time 20 enumerate his viz

husband, an atfectionate father, an ndulgent mas

Of no man will be more lamented in his family or

his bereased family is "thai their loss is his inf

he calmly met death as a friend-C Communicated.

Mr.. WISE,S COMMITTEE.

Ii is reported IN the Northern papers
that the Committee OH the Executive De
/ partmeuts have voted 10 support Of Gen
Jackson's letter 6 to 3. We anticipated as
much. The six collar men on that Com.
mlttee could not be expected TO thwart tie
wishes Of their master, even IN support OF
their own and their constituents RI hts.
The correspondent Of the New York
Courier gives The following Account o. the
appearance o. .j7c y hue befi & he Con
mii,ee:
Il have stlud in forre letter, that in confor.
nifty with III directions Il ten. Jackson, nan
Der Of opposition members of Congress have been
subPdiaed An interesting scene occurred lew
days since, Wien Judge White appeared before
the COMMITTEE. The venerable man in a firm and
dignified tone, remarked that if be was sworn 10
tell the truth and the Uhole truth, be should do it,
but il would be With great reluctance. H. said
that from an early period OF his lie he had been
an intimate friend of Andrew Jackson--that Tor
himself, he had no objection to be turned inside
out before the world, aud be known as he really
was; but that during long intimacy, he had IT.
e,IFed from Gen. Jackson many communications
nothing but higher obligation couid ever extort
from him the character and details of those eou-
vIcnces auG conversaiIons--,hai he understood be
was brought before the committee by the friends
of the President andfn pursuance OF his wishes
Tins being the case, said Judge W bite, when am
10 tell the rhole truth, shall feel myself re.
leased from all former obligations, and act accord
lngIy. am now ready, gentlemen, TO be sworn.
Judge White being engaged in the Senate, he
was hot sworn until the next morning, wbou the
following question was propounded TO him in writ
ing, TO which he Is TO give written answer.
DO YOU, of your oseH kRoanledge, knolr of any
act BY either OF the heads OF the Executive De.
paTimeuts, which is either corrupt, or violation
OF their official dates 2"
All the heads of Department, it is said,
have followed the example OF Gen. Jackson,
aud sent communications to the Committee,
in substance refusing 10 answer. The "Spy
IN Washington" says they assume the
ground that no body has any right to direc,
them Ia answer bu, the President: no not
even Congress.
