SERIOUS AND FArAL Riors.-Ths
Lynchburg (vs.) Republican, Of MOn-
day, says:
Quite a serious riot occurred on
Thursday morning last, on the 4th
section Of the railroad above this
place, among a number Of Irish Ia
borers. 1t appears that they had
been preparing for the affray for sew
eral days previous by purchasing Ere
arms, &c. Before light on Thurs
day, one Of the parties attacked the
shanties OF the other party. killing
one man dead, ball passing through
his head, and severely wounding
several others. The hiring was kept
up for several hours. AS soon as
the news reached town, the military
were Immediately psraded and
marched TO the scene of action, but
before their arrival the fighting was
over, and most o. the rioters disper-
sed. They succeeded, however. in
making several arrests, which, togeth-
er with ihOse arrested in town by
the civil authorities. numbered some
forty persons-al of whom have
been lodged in the Jail OF this place..

Hog Trade.

The 81. Louis Latelhgencsr Of the
ID instant says:
"Messrs. ]. ]. Bate & Co., OF this
city purchased on Tuesday last, 1900
head, TO be delivered on or before
The first Of December, at a price
equal TO S4,30 net. The hogs will
be driven from Illinois, and are with
out specific weight. but it is thought
when ready tor slaughter will GO
300 lbs, and over. This is the first
contract the particulars Of which has
reached Us this season. We learn
that other engagements have been
made for early delivery. but the num-
Der or price is vet unknown. We
believe it is generally admitted that
No. | hogs cannot be had al the pre-
sent stage Of the market under $3.50,
a price at which the minority OF
packers and dealers are holding back.
The season is now near at hand, and
before the close Of the present month
the heaviest contracts for delivery
will have been made"
The following extract OF letter
from highly intelligent and reliable
source in Cincinnati, will be found
interesting at this time:
"From all the information we can
gain in relation to the quality and
quantity oil hogs in this section Of
country and throughout the Great
West, there appears to be but one
opinion, viz: That the number will be
equal to last season. and the quality
far better, also that the price at which
farmers and drovers anticipate our
market will open at, to be dangerous
and unsafe. Therefore, we look
upon the business in the prospective
as disastrous TO all who hold for high
prices.
"Hogs have been sold in our mar
ket at 44a4ac. All OF the hogs thus
far contracted for, are to be- cut and
cured into bacon, for the New Or
leans market. Consequently, We
look for decline in that city, soon
after the first arrivals, caused by the
heavy shipments. In TACT, hogs are
too high. and we think the price will
not be sustained"

Judicial Election.

We are not in possession Of tine
first county returns, that give the
votes, or even the majoriiies for
Judges, or indeed any other officers
cn the State ticket, except Governor.
or course we know nothing Of the
result further than is known 10 all
our readers who have seen the re.
turns for Governor and members Of
the Legislature. No one has any
doubt Of the election of Ranney and
Caldwell. They had the luck to get
on the Free Soil ticket, as well as
that Of the regular Locnfoco one
OF Messrs. Andrews and Siorer, the
nominees Of the Wings, who were
also nominated by the Free Soilers,
there is more doubt. 1t wns at first
supposed that thew would he elected,
having the advantage Of both the
Wing and Free Soil votes. But
subsequent events have rendered il
probable to our minds that ;hey are
defeated, and that the entire ticke. Of
the Lncnlocos is elected. We have
the impression, from present indica-
tiuns. that Woods majority over
Vinton is larger than the entire vote
for Lewis. We know of no reason
why he should run ahead Of the
Judges on the same ticket with him.
Audi we are right in our guess. and
also right in supposing they travel as
fast as Wood does, we shall have an
entire. clear, out and out Locnioco
Court. We shall have Judges, every
one oe whom is pledged to decide
cerrain legal questions in a certain

Austria and the United States.

The New York Commercial has the
following letter from its Washington cor
respondent: .- -".
IL appears that Austria has been act-
ing part toward this Government which
may terminate in a dissolution of our
diplomatic relations. AS I understand
the ihatter, the Cabinet at Vienna instruc.
ted the Austrian Charge at this capital,
Mr. Hulsemann, 10 represent to the Ad-
ministration that in the event of Kos
snt;i and his compatriots being received
and afforded an asylum here, il would
be cause sufficient for that Government,
to withdraw its representative. .. .
Accordingly, MIR. Clayton was ofiici-
ally Informed of the ultimatum; but before
he had time TO decide upon his. course.
Mr.. Webster was not long in deternin-
ing whatto do He represented to Mr..
uulsemann, that the refugees Of bleeding
Hungary would be received with open
arms, and that, if Austria demanded, his
passportit would be ready atany moment.
Whereupon Mr.. H. wrote home for fur
ther instructions, but these not having
arrived, the chagrined diplomatic may
ee supposed to serve only in quasi Ca
pacity.
This statement received from such
authority as | may rely upon, and | pre-
sumo it is essentially correct. We gain
little by keeping up the show OF inter-
course, for the whole amount of our ex-
ports TO, and imports from, the ports of
the empire, are not worth the protection
OF Charge, and can as well be looked
after by consul clothed with ordinary
commercial power.
