NEW YOPK Nov IN

The Republican wire pulIers nre now pro.
posing to send Fremont to the u. s. Senate
from this State, TO leave the course free fo-
Seward in 1860, and thus carry ont the orgi.
nal secret programme of Weed g. Co., which
was to destroy the American party, and al.
most, but not quite, elect Fremont, and in the
mean while to unite all the opposition ele.
ments at the North into the Republican party.
These Abolition parties forced third ticket
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey most unna.
turally at the last moment, with the double
purpose OF preventing the success of the
Americans, and the election from going into
the House, where Fremont would have had
another chance. The breach is now so wide
between the Americans n Republicans that
il can never be healed. The Americans poll.

TIVE New York EMPIRE CLuB.-Of this
club headed by The notorious Capt. Rynders,
the New York Courier and Enquirer gives
the following description:
Its history is written in the license and
profigacy of the political affairs of this CITY
during the last twelve years. 1t was estab.
iished in 1874, from the very worst materials
that, by raking gutter and pool could be
dragged into service against Henry Clay, and
from that time to this its depraved elements
have remained unchunged-the same nucleus,
Isaiah Rynders, now and then, and the same
mass of ignoble depravity about him. The
congomernton has been made up in equal
proportions of buIies and parasites, but vet
pisbnld all over with every dye of vileness.
10 characterize this body, it is enough to
say that whatsoever things are false, what.
soevcr things are impure, whatsoever things
are turbulent, whatsoever things are of evil
report, what soever things are of mischev.
ious effect, if there be any vice, and if there
be any infamv, of such is and ever has been
the Empire Club. II is mass Of creatures
which live in and on politissi corruption
whose whole employment is to generate
gangrene in the body polite, and to feed
thereon. Their touch is pollution, and their
work rulnous; every way they are nuisance
and curse.

VIOLENT HURRICANE IN ILLINoIs-Srueu.
LAR EFFECTS OF THE SToRM.-Friday after.
moor last, wind storm fell with pitiless fu.
ry upon the neighborhood residing about
four miles east of the city on the railroad
track. The cloud from which the wind came
was funnel.shaped, and black rs midnight.
and went whirling md revolving through
the air after the fashion of an old time
whirwind, spreading devastation and ruin
along its path. The storm fell with great
fury upon the premises of Simon Laughlin.
1t tore the roof from his dwelling and scat.
tered shingles along its track for miles:
burst ont one of the sides of the house; blew
down his carriage house and the last tbst
was seen of his carriage, it was some three
thousand feet high in tho mir, travelling 40

The fencing for miles along the path Of
the storm was entirely swept away. Tho
large pond of water on the railroad trnrk
near Henry Kemp's farm, covering nm area
of about two acres, was entirely scooped out

Patriot Of Tuesday afternoon contains the
following account Of the election sports up
TO that hour:
HIeH HANDED OurhAeE.--Two Amer.

d'sgraceful scene occurred At the Sixth Ward
polls about 10 o'clock this morning. the par.
tculnrs Of which, so far MS we could ascer.

transaction, nre as follows Although the
wooden barricade had been removed from the
window at an early hour 10 the morning, the
voting proceeded quietly until the hour
above named, when slight difficulty occur.
red IN consequence Of supposed illegal vote
being challenged; words led to blows, when
notorious Democratic bully, named Charles
Hnrrigan, drew a revolver and deliberately
hired into the crowd. The ball passed
through the fleshy part of the hnnd, near the
thumb, Of Mr.. VIM. Briglh, an inoffensive
american, and thence into the abdomen of
Mr.. Richard Pryor, one Of the moN es.
tlmnble members of the patriotic Ashland
Club. The ball entered Pryor just below
the navel, inficting n most severe and, it is
supposed, fatal wound. He was immedi
ately carried into the office of DR.. Edwin s.
Thomas, who. with DR.. Milton N. Taylor.
and several other medical gentlemen, did all
In their power TO relieve him. We looked
in upon the wounded man about IL o'clock,
at which time he appeared to be in dying
state, and we regret to say that it was the
opinion of the medical gentlemen present
that the wound was mortal. Harrigan was
shortly after arrested and bmmitted to await
an examination. The wounded man, Mr..
Pryor, we happened to know personally, and
more inoffensive gentleman h is not our
province to be acquaintM .with-his only

New YorSwho form the great majority Of
the applicants.
A iew-and they nre very few-npply of
their own accord, but the grynt bulk are re-
,cruited by the Naturalization Committees of
Tammany Hall and the Republican Central
Club. The former have taken the Irish un.
der their special care, while the Germans,
whose tendencies are ola Republican char.
acter, seem to have fallen TO the charge of
the latter. Both committees pay the natural.
ization fees in consideration, it is generally
understood, of the votes which their tandi-
dates are expected to receive in RETURN
Now, as such fee amounts TO fifty cents, and
as there have been about fifteen thousand
nnturaized, the whole amount paid must be
over seven thousand dollars. The greater
part of this has been paid, it is said, by the
Democratic Committee, who have made five
citizens 20 every three presented by the Re.
pubicans. Ia the first week or two the Ger.
man applicants preponderated, but they have
since been left in the minority by the con.
stantly increasing majority of The Irish. The
number naturalized in the Court of Common
Pleas and the Superior Court exceeds four
hundred per day, Cor $4,000 within the last
six weeks) but during The last two days
over three thousand applicants received their
papers in the Court of Common Pleas alone.

HORRIBLE MuRDER.-We are called upon
this week, says the Madison Messenger, to
record one of the most benrt.rend:bg trage-
dies, that ever occurred in this State.
On Tuesday night, the both nit, Mr.. WIN.
Pearce, residing about FIVE miles from this
place, whilst he was eating supper told one
OF his negro men, who had been guilty OF
some misdemeanor, that 30 soon as he WINS
through he would give him 6ogging. Ac.
cordingly, when he got up from the table, he
went out into the back yard and chilled the
fellow out of the kitchen, and told him to
come to him. Manifestinga great deal Of
submission, he obeyed; but so soon MS he not
in striking distance, drew an axe, which
had been concealed, and split in twain the
head Of his master-scattering tho brains in
every direction. We are not aware he sur.
yived minute.
The negro instantly fed-nnd up TO tbis
time (noon Friday) has not been captured.
Mr. Pearce was good citizen,a kind bus.
band, father, and master, and was beloved bv
all who knew him; this his melancholy fats
has cast pail Of gloom over our whole com.
munity.

creased. We were long ngo convinced that
railroads and all works of like character,
and Banking institutions, should never be-.
long to, or be under the management and
control If the State. Such enterprises are
always more prosperous, more valuable, and
subserve the real interests of the public more
largely when free from my ownership or nj
lance with the State. All experience points
to this fact, and for this reason we shall, at
the proper time, advocate and urge sale of
the States stock in the Est Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad-a bona fds sale, and not IL
etransfer" or swap for other stock to be used
in developing other interests. Let every tub
stand on It's own bottom, and let private in.

and capital.
The subject will be brought before the
next Legislature, and will probably enter in.
to the canvass in some of the counties. We
allude to II thus early for the purpose Of or.
resting the attention Of gentlemen Who we
know are already looking with wistful eyes
In the direction Of Nashville. There will be
something more important than mere party
politics before the mex: Legislature, and We
trust the people in the different senatorial
end representative districts throughout the
State will see that none but good, sound and
reliable men find their way into that body
If any other sort offer, back them down.
The last Legislature had some good and tai.
ented men in It, and passed several whole.
some laws; and passed others that the next
will probably be called upon to repeal. In
fact the next session Of the Legislature will
be the msst important that hue been hold in

How IT WAS DosE.-The PHILADELPHIA
I.edger,a neutral paper, thus accounts for the
success of Buchanan in Pennsylvania
There were no less than five tickets in the
fsld-the Buchanan, the "Slraight Out" Fill.
more ticket, which was voted BY those who
refused fusion, which has polled heavy vote,
the Straight Out Fremont ticket, which has
scarcely my votes at all, and the two fusion
tickets with the same electors, except the first
name, the tickets being headed respectively
BY the names of Fillmore and Fremont
This last, It is evident from the result that n
large number Of the Fillmore men must have
stepped out from the rnnks of their own
party, and instead Of voting the Fusion ticket,
have gone over to Buchanan, whose plurality
over the Fusion ticket reaches 1886, and his
majority over all is 1876. The aggregate
vote is 1852 more than was cast at the
October election. sz
