EIecti0n.--CITY SUMMARY--We deferred the
re-insertion of table yesterday morning because
we found j impossible to arrive at anything more
than an approximation to the real vote cast in the
city for the several candidates. To-day we pub
lish the table complete and according TO the ohi-
cia returns, it having been revised from the books
of the judges, and is therefore reliable for future
reference.
The vote for Ligon for governor is 1885, and
for Bowie 9,Sl6; Ligon's majority 3040
For comptroller, Whyte l2,47l; Thomas y,s5'i
Whyte's majority 1852.
For lottery commissioner, Roberts 12,767 Ri
caud 1856; Roberts majority 3,lll.
For commissioner of public works, Falls 1903;
Alexander, 1883 ; Falls majority 1889,
The above comprises the State ticket, and the
democratic candidates, whose majorities appear as
. above, are elected.
The official return from the county portion Of
the Sd district is not received, but il is not ex-
pected 10 vary ffomthe returns as reported, which
give vansant 5,s76, and Preston 5,o8a; Vansants
majority S14.
GAIL; Mays majority $40. ..I3
Upon the delegate ticket, the aggregate vote is
for the Main-iaw candidates II ,277; for the dem
ocratic candidates 10237; Maine-aw majority
1910 Bya comparison of the democratic dele
gate vote, with that given for Ligon, we iind that
the latter received 2,649 votes more than the
former; in other words 2,6fp persons voted for
Lyon who did not vote for the democratic dele
gates. This fact, with the large vote given to the
+ NlalnG-IdW
larger portion, il not the whole Of this defective
democratic vote was given to the Maine-law cam
didates. This 2,049 is, therefore, the democratic
strength Of the Mane-law at present. Allowing
the same from the whig party, the Maine-aw vote
appears to be 5,29S in the city. Had whig ticket
been rum however il is reasonable to suppose
that some few, atleast, the democrats who voted
the Maine-law ticket, would have adhered TO their
party nominations.
The vote for Krebs for judge of the circuit
urt il II ~. ODDOsltiOn +. 4a
\ For sheriff, the vote stands for Hindes, Main
law whg, 1858; HELEN, democrat, 10,295; Bos-
ley, Independent, 4,579; Hindes majority over
HELEN is 1918. l
For clerk Of the circuit court, Turner, 1868;
Mcguire 6,S07. Turner's majority, 5,S06.
For surveyor, ChifIcle, dem, l,l90; Bouldin,
ind, IL ,0s9. Chifelles maj 101.
The Sad Consequences Of CareIessness.--
AS the passenger train Of cars between Whining
ton and Chareston going south, approached with
in about eight miles of the Camden junction, one
morning last week, man with child in his arms
came rushing through the rear car, shouting
g save yourselves the cars are on fire." The peo-
pie Jumped up half frantic and crowded for the
door at the back end of the car. II appears thata
camphene lamp that had been left burning, ex-
ploded and set fire TO one Of the cars, which was
extinguished with bucket of water without stop
ping the train. The alarm was soon over and no
body appeared to be hurt. But the serious part
Of the accident is yet to be told. Among the pas
sengers in the car when the alarm was sounded,
were Madame lie Vert and daughter, of Mobile,
and her faithful slave Betsy" whom Miss Bremen
has made one of the heroines of her Homes in
the New World"
On resumng their seats, Betsy" was missing.
The conductor was sent for and requested by the
passengers TO reverse the engine and go back
mile or two 10 look for the poor slave who had
probably leaped from the car when the alarm was
sounded. This he refused TO do, giving rea-
son that he would be too late 10 connect at the
Camden junction He was then offered one thou
sand dollars to comply with the humane request
ofthe passengers. This also he refused. On ar
irving at the station gentleman promptly char
tered an engine and returned TO the spot where
the alarm occurred; and there he found the poor
woman lying beside the track, in a state of nsen-
sibty with her body so bruised and swollen that
the physician could not decide whether her bones
were broken dislocated. AT the time the letter
was written that we have just received from Au-
gusta her recovery was considered extremely
doubtful. II strikes us that there is great blame
TO be attached to the conductor for his apparent
Indifference to the life Of the poor slave; and we
take il for granted we shall hear Of some ,indig
nant proceedings on the part Of the passengers in
relation to his inhuman conduct.--N 4. Mirror.
Anniversary Of Perry's Victory. We make
the following interesting extracts from the Grafton
Of Mr.. Calvert, delivered at Newport on the occa-
sion Of the celebration Of the ortieh anniversary
Of Perry's victory on Lake Erie:
The work Captain Perry had 10 do was, first
TO create fleet, and then with that feet to beat
the British leet--work enough for ayoung man
of twenty-seven. The American feet was still
growing on the shore ofthe lake. Little had been
done; of the materials and stores needed, scarcely
any had been provided. Not half the mechanics
had arrived Not a cannon was yet on the ground,
nor iron, nor cordage, nor canvas. Everything
required to equip and arm fleet had TO be brought
long distances over bad roads. There not
even a cartridge in the place for defence of the
shipyards Against obstacles and difficulties,
against delays and disappointments, through cha
grns and notifications, Captain Perry worked on
with such rapid and intelligent energy, that by the
Oath of May all his vessels were launched, two
iwenty-gun briggs and three gun-boats.
AS an example of the zeal and courage which
animated all the fleets the following anecdote is
told
Captain Perry now made final inspection of
his ship. Coming to some men who had been in
the Constitution, he said to them: 8 Well, boys,
are you ready?" G All ready your honor Z But
need say nothing 70 you,n he added you know
how 10 beat those fellows" Recognizing some of
his townsmen, he exclaimed, & All! here are the
Newport boys; they'll do their duty, warrant
Then, taking from his state room large flag, he
mounted on gun, and calling his crew about him,
he addressed them: /" My brave lads, on this flag
are the dying words Of Captain Lawrence! Shall
] hoistit?" Ay! ay. SIR And in moment, from
the mast head of the Lawrence foated the flag,
on which, in large letters, the battle cry of the
day, were inscribed the words,-H Don't give up
the ship
AS the crews Of the others caught sight of them,
they sent up an enthusiastic shout, And the sick
below learning the cause of the shout, many Of
them came UP on deck to offer their feeble SER
vices; snch life is there in the dying words of a
hero To one of these on board the Lawrence,
Mr. Taylor said, 8 Go below Mays you are too
weak to be here II can do something, sir
What can you do ~ can sound the pump, sir,
and let a strong man go 10 the guns" He sat
down by the pump, and sent the strong man TO the
guns when the fight was ended there he was
found, with ball through his heart. He was
from Newport; his name. Wilson Mays"
The Tragedy at Observation-Disclosures But
Ter, principal of the high schools at Louisville, was
shot by Matthew F. Ward, oldest son Of r., J.
Ward on Wednesday morning last and died that
night. The Courier says Of the lamentable trans
action 4#l @

two Of his brothers, Robert Ward, youth Of six

pulled out pistol and shot Mr.. Butler down The
