KENTUCKY.


The Louisville Journal of the 10th instant has
the following:
KENTUCKY ELEcTIoNs-O. K.-We have very
few additions to make to our table. We learn by
letter from Frankfort that returns, official and
official, have been received in that place from all
the counties in the State, except Marshall, Perry,
and Letcher and that Owsley's W. majority is
5,4Ol. The counties to be heard from will pro-
badly reduce it to 5000. The majority for Dixon
(Whig candidate for Lieut.. Cow will probably
be about 10000, though we cannot state it with
accuracy, as in several counties in which the re-
turns are unofficial the votes for Lieut.. Governor
are not given.
The Wing majority in the Legislature is much
larger than it was in 1910 or in any other year,
and the vote for members of the Legislature af-
fords better criterion of the strength of parties
in this State than that for Governor. In this cleo
ton, the Wings of Kentucky have not only beat
en- the Locofocos of this State, but of the United
States, as it suited the party to make Kentucky
the battle field Of the Union. Well, their thou
sands and tens of thousands of tracts and dollars
have been expended in vain, for Mr.. Clay's ma
jority will be from 10000 to 10000. Locofoco-
ism has exhausted itself in Kentucky, and our
noble State is gloriously, thoroughly enthusiastic

From the New York Commercial Advertiser August Is
FUNERAL OF MR.. STONE.

The solemn Office of consignng " dust to dust
was fulfilled at Saratoga Saturday morning.
Leaving the city at O'Clock on Friday evening,
we arrived at Saratoga soon after 10 on Saturday
morning, and proceeding at once to the residence
of the Rev. Mr.. Wayland, had the melancholy
satisfaction of looking once more upon the fea-
lures of the associate and friend with whom we
had parted several weeks before, in such strong
hope Of his speedy restoration to his post Of utility
and honor.
Soon after IL, the many friends of the deceased,
residents of Saratoga as well as visiters, had as
sembled at the residence of Mr.. Wayland filling
the rooms set apart for the OCCASION, and numbers
standing about the doors. The funeral services
were commenced by a prayer from the Rev. Mr..
Chester who also read one of the Psalms, and
! concluded with solemn and affecting address.
Prayer was then offered up by the Rev. Mr.. Fra
ger; after which the coffin was placed within the
hearse.
Twelve pall-bearers attended the body to the
grave, among whom we recognised Chancellor
Walworth, Judge Willard, Hiram Ketcham, Esq,
Hon. j Phillips Phoenix, Seth Grosvenor, Esq,
and General Anthony Lamb, of New York, John
II. Estrom, Esq, of Utica, two Messrs. Davidson,
and Mr.. Wescott, of Saratoga.
At the grave, brief address was made by the
Rev. Mr.. Chester. Bishop Eastburn, of Massa-
chusetts, was among the persons present at the
closing scene, but whether he accompanied the
procession from the house Of Mr.. Wayland we
do not know

whom he lately begged supports and, being refused,
from whom he is now ready to take nything. Such
is the consistency of John Tyler He deserted
General Jackson and the Democracy, because he
(Jackson) turned Federalist and he now begs re-
admission into the ranks of Locofocosm, because
the Wings refuse to support his high-handed
usurpations of power, which go far beyond what.

We defer further comments upon the letter

ALABAMA.

The Mobile Register L. F) of the 18th inst
has returns from 80 counties, in which 90 Wigs
and 20 Locos have been elected to the lower
House of the Legislature. In 1912 the same
counties elected % Wings and 20 Locos. Forty
two counties remain to be heard fron-nearly all
of them heretofore Locofoco.
Eleven members of the State Senate were voted
for this year. AS far as heard from 2 Wings and

MORE HUMBUGGERY.-A Mormon has arrived
in the city of St. Louis who reports that Joe
Smith has risen from the dead, and has been seen
in Carthage and in Nauvoo, mounted on white
horse, and with drawn sword in his hand He
says that as Joe Is thus restored to life, every
thing will go on prosperously with the Mormons.
Thus few fanatlcal leaders induce these igno-
rant, credulous, and superstitious fanatics to be-
lleve the greatest possible absurdites-St. Louis
Era.

The Hon. David Henshaw was most scurvlly
treated by his Locofoco brethren IN the recent
Worcester Convention. He was reported by the
Committee as one OF the Presidential Electors for
the State at large, but the Convention would not
hear it he was TYLER man, the members said,
and it would never do to place him before the
people of Massachusetts,. His name was there
fore stricken out, and that Of Mr.. Allen inserted.

MISSOURI.

The St. Louis Reporter of the 18th inst says:
We believe, as far as heard from, there are "a
anti Benton members of the Legislature elected,
"a for Benton, and 10 doubtful.
In day or two we will learn the result. The
St. Louis Republican of the 18th expresses the
opinion that Edwards (the Benton canddate) is
elected Governor by majority of 1000 votes.

We would like to know how any party can
hope to be successful which treats the tares part
of creation with marked contumely, as, according
to the Natchez Courier, speaker at Locoioco
meeting in st, Louis did, by saying We 1.-THE
Locos) do not ask, wish, or desire, the approba-
ton, waving of handkerchiefs, or smiles of the
ladies'"
One of the Locofoco orators received a severe
rebuke from the ladies' at the late meeting at
New Windsor. number of them were seated
on balcony at Col. Atlee's establishment, list
ening to the speakers both sides One of the
gentlemen on the Wing side concluded his speech
with compliment to the ladies, which was re-
ceived with tremendous enthusiasm. Mr.. Cat
lagher on rising stated "that he did not care TOR
the ladies' if they got the votes OF the gentlemen"
As soon as it was uttered, every lady retired from
the balcony and in their stead 1t was occupied
solely by colored woman Westminster (IHd)

ARRIVAL OF STEAMSHIP ACADIA
FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Acadia arrived at Boston on Sun
day last, bringing London and Liverpool dates to
the 4th instant. We are indebted to the New
York Sun, extra, for the following summary of
news:
The weather has been such as to cause the
most sangune expectations of speedy and abun-
dant harvest.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
are of a cheerful nature-business wears healthy
aspect there are numerous orders for goods, ard
workmen find plenty of employment.
Money is plentiful, and likely to continue so.
First class bills are Il and others 2 to 4 per cent.
The Great Western arrived out on Sunday,
the 4th instant.
The cotton market has not been very animated.
The trade, nevertheless, continues to purchase
to fair extent, so that prices can hardly be said
to have been effected Egyptian has receded a
trife, but Surat and Brazil maintain their rates.
FrighlfM Accident at BlackEriars' Bridge
On the evening of the 22d ultmo, most melan-
choy accident occurred at Blackfriars Bridge,
London, by the breaking down of the floating
steamboat pier. -Four persons were, after much
difficulty rescued, and after the most careful at
tention or the part of DR.. Hutchinson, they were
restored to their families and friends. Six bodies
have since been picked up.
The news from Tahiti shows that the misun-
derstanding there between the English and the
French has increased since the public attention
was last directed TO it. 1t will afford Peel and
Guizot nut to crack, during the Parliamentary
recess of their respective countries.
A good deal of vexation and ill-bood exists in
England on the subject Sir Robert Peel and
Lord Aberdeen have both alluded to it, in their
respective places in Parlament-each in strong
terms Of condemnation. Peremptory apologies
have been demanded from the French Govern
ment; but the war party in France will turn it to
good account against M Gulzot. The French
rupture with Morocco show no symptoms of heal
ing on the contrary, the breach appears to widen.
The Belgian Government has taken strong
measures to punish the Prussian Government
for having raised the duties on the iron Of Bel
pium

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AT BosToN-Two fires
occurred in Boston on Sunday morning, which
destroyed much property; and both of them, it is
stated, were the work of incendiares. The first

two large wooden tnildings, subdvded into eight
tencments and occupied by as many families, who
los, nearly all their furniture. Loss in all about
$4,000. The second fire broke out before the first
was extinguished, and, before it could be sub

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

Mr.. BROWN, of Ia, the rules of the House
having been suspended for this purpose, brought
up anew the Clay extract (which he had moved
as substitute for the Jackson extract, and which
ne found in the Ohio Statesman. After reading
Mr.. Whites denial that Mr.. Clay had uttered the
sentiments imputed TO him in that extract, Mr..
B. sent to the Clerks desk the National lntelli-
gencer containing speech of Mr.. Clay on the
list January, 1912, in reply to Mr. Woodbury.
on the Treasury note bill. There happened to
be (although of course Mr.. Brown and his friends
did not appreciate it) very essential difference
between the genuine extract, and the Medary ex
tract the latter makes Mr.. Clay lay down the
axiom +" there is no necessity for protecton,"
whereas Mr. Clay was contending that the ne
cessities of the Government required an amount
of revenue which would unavoidably furnish pro.
lection, and therefore said look to revenue alone
for the support of the Government: do not raise
the question of protection-I had hoped that SUBJ
ect had been put to rest there is no necessity
of protection for protection" Thus it will be
seen that Mr.. Medary's extract was base for
gerry, and that he lied--under mistake. After
Mr.. Brown had finished his explanation.
Mr.. WHITE (whose honor had been called in
question: desired to be heard also. in explanation,
but as objections were made, the yeas and nays
we're called on motion TO suspend the rules,
which prevailed by l28 to 3D.
Mr.. w. thanked the House for this courtesy
and thought that upon reflection no one would
have objected to extend the right of vindication
10 him. An attempt had been made to impeach
his veracity, and although he had no notice Of
the intention Of the gentleman from Indiana to
revive this subject to-day, he was at all times
ready to defend his homer against any attack from
him or any one else. Mr.. w. then took up the
subiect-matter, and pronounced second time that
the extract presented by the gentleman from In-
diana, as having been found in speech of Mr..
Clay, was talsehood and forgery. The speech
from which it was taken was never revised by
Mr.. g., and was merely running debate, but it
contained no such proposition as was attributed
TO Mr.. Clay. Mr.. w. then read from Mr.. Claws
speeches at different times to show that this great
statesman was for whatever protection was ne
cessary for labor and manufactures
This subject occupied nearly two hours.
Mr.. STEENROD then asked suspension of
the rules in order that he might submit reso-
luton that the clerk should call the roll every
morning. after the Journal was read and record
the names of absentees; the House declined to
suspend the rules.
The House then proceeded to receive reports
from standing committees The resolution pend
ing yesterday to print Professor Espy's report,
was adopted and 1900 extra copies were or
dered.
On motion of Mr.. OWEN, of Indiana, the va
rious memorials relating to the Wabash and
Erie Canal, were referred to select committee
