@A few counties still remain to be
heard from officially, before it can be known
what Gov. Chase's precise majority will be
in the State. 1t will not vary much from
1000 either way.
1t is a noteworthy fact in the history of
politics in Ohio, that Mr.. Chase is the first
Governor who has been reelected in the
State, for more than a score of years. No
one. we are sure, has been more deserving
of such compliment.

A New PRosPEor FOR ENGLAND
We understand, says "Porter's Spirit"
that movement is on foot TO get up a
new stable of American horses, to contend
against the racers of the English turf. 1t
is the opinion of our principal turfmen and
breeders that the stable of Mr.. Ten Brock
is not in all respects well chosen, and that
his horses have never been brought to the
post in that country in a proper condi-
ton to contend for honor of the Amer
ican turf. Nicholas 1. is spoken of at the
head of the new lot; and it is stated that
if he goes, Gilpatrick will 60 with him
We shall hear more of this matter after
the great four-mile race on the 29th Sep
tember, over, the Fashion Course. Hold

Kansas Affairs.

Exciting times still continue in the Ter
ritory. TIE notorious Sheriff Jones de-
manded of Secretary Stanton certificates
for the Democratic candidates to the Leg
islature in the Douglas and johnson coun-
ty district on the bogus returns from Ok
ford precinct. They were denied, when
Jones drew bowie knife and swore he
would have them before he left the room.
Stanton laid his hand on a revolver, accus-
ed Jones of having been the cause of most
of the troubles and bloodshed in Kansas ;
and firmly told the ruffiau he was not to
be intimidated. Jones withdrew, proceed
ed to Judge Cato, swore out writ of man
danus, commanding Gov. Walker to cause
the certificates TO issue, and hastened to
serve it in person. Stanton got wind of
what was going on, and dispatched a cour-
ier to Walker. Gov. w. at once issued a
commission to Capt. Walker the new Free
State Sheriff elect for Douglas county. who
happened to be present. In the afternoon
Jones appeared, presented the writ, and
was informed by Gov. W. that he had COM
missioned another person as Sheriff of
Douglas county. The now ex-Sheriff again
backed out. Sheriff Walker refused to
serve the writ, the Government sent to
Fort Leavenworth for troops, six compa-
nies of U. S. dragons left Immediately for
for Lecompton, and the dismissal of Judge
Cato is expected by the Governor.
A dispatch from Lawrence states that
Gov. Walker had left Lecompton on ac-
count of the threats of the ultras, and is at
Benicia. Sheriff Walker is with him with
a posse of men, and special messenger
had been sent for Col. Summers command.
The citizens of Lawrence sent committee
and rendered their services for his protec-
ton, but Gov. W. declined for the reason
that he had the U. S. troops at his COM
mand. The Governor treated the commit
tee with great respect.
The fraudulent returns from McGee
county, adding over thousand votes to
the list for the pro-slavery candidates for
the Legislature, the Kansas correspondent
of the st. Louis Republican writes, bear
internal evidence of fraud, and fortunately
defeat themselves. as the perpetrators have
failed TO designate the officers for which
the several candidates weae voted for. A
protest has been filed signed by several cit
liens of the district, and sworn to, setting
forth that MCGEE county belongs to the
Cherokee Indians, and that there are not
fifty legal voters residing within the county.
The correspondent says be is credibly in
formed that the Governor and Secretary
will reject those returns, and will give GER
tifcates of election to the Free State
members Cleveland Herald.

DALIIMORk, OCt. 81.
The Governor still adheres to his proela-
nation. The officers of the volunteer COM
panies report that nearly all the men be-
longing to them refuse to do duty except
under orders of the Mayor. Out of 80
companies not more than 200 men consent
to serve. A large number of citizens have
been served with notices Of enrolment, but
most of them declare their determination
to pay no attention to the order. Many
democrats to-day have been heard to de-
clare the whole matter farce.
A committee of ten prominent citizens
are now consulting with the Governor,
urging a withdrawal of his proclamation.
Two cannons were taken ont of the
armory of the Junior Artillery last night.
One of them was recovered by the police,
but the other is still missing.
The feeling against the Governor is very
great, and the Mayor and police have had
much difficulty in maintaining the peace.
