The returns have come in from hall

in announcing 10 our anxious Brethren
every where, that the OId % aminion is
true to herself, true to her principles,
true to the Union. We submit return
OF all the counties from which we have

t'al Election of'36. We have also sub
joined schedule Of gains and losses to
the Republican pbalanx. The result
so far is satisfactory. In 62 Counties
and Cities, onr nett loss is l.053 upon
the large majority Of 1921, given TO
Mr.. Van Buren, in 1886. This leaves
US large fund 10 lose upon, il we were
to lose in the same proportOn-wh which
is very questionable. Unless some ex

on the minds of our Brethren in the
South West, and North West of Virgin.
ia, we must now in all human probabll-
liy carry the State, and by majority
of from four 10 Elk thousand. Need we
say, with what thrilling satisfaction,
we, who have 50 long and ardontIy toll
ed in this great pro,tacted contest, an
nounoe such probable result 10 the
Republicans of the Union. What!
though Georgia. and North Caroline,

from her bosom TO the reg ions Of the

ed in his villainous project. In four
counties lhrs were upwards of two .heu.
sand more votes polIed on the 18th nit
than there were white male inhabitants
over q. In Tuscarawas, we have no,
the least doubt but there were a large
humber Of illegal votes polled. A friend
informs US that persons we're allowed 10
vote in Warwick township, who were
never seen before nor since The election.
In Wayne township, where the wbigs
succeeded beyond their own expecta :
tions, illegal votes were polled. One
instance OF which has come 10 our knowI
edge. A person offered his vote, which
was objected to by dem ocrat, but the
Judge Mr.. Augustine, interfered and
received his vote, saying that the man
had rlghtto vote, that he had been ma I
uralized at Canton. The next morning
the democrat went to this man, who be.
ing iuterogated closely, admitted that
he never had right to vote. The dem
"ocrat then wrote 10 Canton. and receiv-
ed answer that no such PERSONS name
appeared upon the records of Naturali,
zatIou, and that ifhe voted, it must be
fraud. This then is the way Federal
Judges do the bidding of their masters
at Columbus. This is one way they
have "laid pipe,' in Tuscarawas 10 she
tune Of 500 mej. In this and other
ways have they cheated US out of our

CORRESPONDENCE OF TIE NEW YORK NEW
Washington, Dec. 3lSt 1899.


On the opening OF the blouse" to-day,
the Speaker announced his appointment OF
the various committees, which, in the ag-
gregate, think, are far from favorable TO
the Democratic party, though in the most
important sense, the administration and
Calhoun members hold the majority. Mr..
Jones, of Virginia, our late nominee for
Speaker, was placed as chairman, on that
most important OF all commttees-the COM
mittee f"Ways and Means" Mr., Pick
ems was appointed chairman Of the commit
tee on "Foreign Relations" and Mr.. Cam
bell, (both Independent Treasury men) on
ELECTIONS" Vanderpoel aud Rhett are
placed on the committee OF ''Ways and
Means" 1t will be perceived, tiat Oh three
of the most important committees, one ad-
ministra,ion and two Calhoun men have
been selected as chairmen and on the mi
nor committees, the opposition have had
their full speed. Thus the speaker has
to ingra,iaie himself with all parties, aud
has in my mind. most cIearl and decisive
" defined his position. 1t is his wish and
ambition TO be considered both by the
"House" and country, a no-pariy NAH
shackled by no party resuains, and in the
pursuance of his official duties, recognizing
no Darlv dictalion. If lie has any leaning,
i. is on lhe side orthe opposilion-his votes
on the adoption of the rules of the former
House, and on the election of Clerk, to-
rether with the opinion on the validity Of
the claims of the members from New Jer-
scy holding the certificates Of the governor
fully carry me ont in this assertion. The
opinion that gave OF the election Of Mr.
Hunter 10 the chair of speaker, will in the
main hold good.
The busines which was transacted by
the House in the succeeding part of the
day, was not Of very interesting char
ac,er.
Madam Rumor, (who is not on all oc-
cas;ons to be depended upon in the good
city of Washington,) says that Er- G0vem
or Marcy is to fill the vacancy occasioneC
by the resignation OF Judge Grundy in tn,
Cabinet. ! doubt the truth of this repor
for many reasons, not among tie leas! o
which is that we have many who are olde
in the field, and whose claims, TO say III,
least are more pressing-we shall how
ever, have an early opportunity of hearing
officially.

the measure, and three opposed to it. The
"Commlttee on Elections" from which
must emanaie the report on the New Jer-
sey question, is composed of Calhoun

ton, and four opponents. think that we
may look for favourable report. On the
smaller committees the opposition will have
pretty much their own way.

PRESIDENTS LEVEE.

The first day of the year was a very cold
one, but barring this extremely pleasant
Sleighing, which is somewhat rare thing
in this city, was very good, and the bellies
and the beaux appeared to enjoy it. At the
hour of IL, the avenues leading 10 the Pres
ident's mansion were thronsed by the fash
ionabe and gay, as well as the more ster-
ling part of the creation; those who, like
good Democrats go on foot. The Foreign
Ministers and their attaches waited on the
President in their court dresses, as well as
the Secretaries and the sturdy yeomanry OF
the country in the plain homespun. The
President was in good health and spirits,
aud received his company in his usual po-
lite and urbane manner. The fair ladies'
honored him with their presence, and their
sweet smiles and pretty bright eyes, added
cheerlulneSs TO a scene which otherwise
would have lost half lis charms The Ma.
rine Band performed in the outer hall some
beautiful music, and every thing went of
well.

have given below a fair and impartial
account Of the political complexion OF the
different committees which were appointed
on Wednesday by the new Speaker.
The "Commitlee on Elections" is COM
posed Of states rights chairman, four friends
of the Administration, and four opposition
men: the Chairman, and, think, Mr..
Fisher, whom ! number among the Admin
istration men, voted against the rejection of
the New Jersey Federal members. The
Committee of "Ways and Means" is made
of an Administration Chairman two s,cles'
rights men, including Cooper, Of Georgia,
who is generally opposed 10 the party in
mower, three friends of the Administration,
and three opponents. The Committee on
"Foreign Affairs" numbers a states rights
Chairman, four friends of the Adminislra-
lion, and four opposition men. The Judi
ciary Committee is composed Of an opposl-
ton Chairman, three friends of the Admin
isnation, four opposition men, and one
Georgia states rights Sub-rreasury man
The other committees, which are of minor
importance, are made up mostly Of oppOsi
ton members.
The Chairman Of the Committee OF
"CommeIce" is opponent OF the Admins.

The Har"erhiIl Mass )Banner says
Two colored females belonging to AnLover,
persisted in the storm Of Sunday night, last
week. The manner in which their deaths
took place is somewhat singular. The
facts rs we have them from a friend are as
follows :-They lived in little house to-
gether. The younger became partially de-
ranged, and on Saturday night having de-
posted some provision in each of two pill
low cases, led the other who was blind and
decrepid away 10 some bye-place, where
she probably died from cold. She return
ed and was at meeting part Of the day, but
could give no account Of the place, whittier
the other poor creature had been led, and
the only reason assigned for this strange
proceeding was the fear of harm. She
STAYED with one Of the neighbors part of
Sunday night, when she stole away aud was
not missing until morning, when she was
found dead.

All which is utterly sunk and lost, and
then, by pursuing the same course of re-

1924 and 1895, the real banking capital
will be found in May, 1887, not to have ex-
ceeded $ls,0O0,OO0, and Notwithstanding
some nominal additions is certainly, not
really greater at the present time.
1t is unquestionably true, that if an ac-
tual banking capital Of eighteen millions
were employed within the limits of our own
state, and for our own state, and for our own
people, in legitimate banking, it would be
more than sufiic ent 10 supply all the ne
