Isothermal Walker is sick at Benicia, on
Fred. Stanton's claim. The reason of his
being there arises from the fact that his al
lies are uncomfortable, as Gen. Jim told him
he would find them to be.
Sheriff Jones, who is one of those elected
by eye voters of We great city of Oxford, .
demanded his certificate of the Secretary.
The latter refused it, whereupon the valiant
Jones bullied-a la Sherrard-swore, fumed

was unarmed. Bystanders interfered, and
Jones was left to drown his rage in whisky.

Tha EIection-

The result of the late election still re-
mains in state of doubt and uncertainty.
BY reference to another column, it viii be
seen that Gov. Walker and Secretary Stan
ton have issued "Proclaniation' ayowing
their intention to throw out the fraudulent
vote of Oxford, in johnson Co., which
gives to the Free State candidates In that
District majority of about 1900. This
is as far as heard from. But the returns
of the country lying west of the counties
of Wise, Butler and Hunter, . and which is
attached to this District, have not yet been
received; and it is thought that these viii
be regulated by the wants of the pro-sla-
very party, which have the appearance, at
present, of being numerous and pressing.
AS soon as Walker and Stanton had re-
fused to give certificates to the pro-slavery
candidates. elected by the Oxford vote,
Judge Cato issued mandamus, requiring
them to appear before him and show good
cause for such refusal Nothing has as yet
resulted from this.
1t is currently reported that the vote of
Franklin and Anderson counties has been
thrown out, on account of informality in
establishing precincts. This will material
ly reduce the vote in this District (of nine
teen counties, and if the vote of McGee
county (1eOo pro-slavery majority in the
same District, be received, three Repre-
sentatives win be lost to the Free State
party.
The vote of Linn county has been era
zeed' in such manner as to give a ma
jority TO the pro-slayery candidates. This
loses two more Representatives to us. If,
however, no more returns are amended, %
and no s.Buffalo" votes received, the Fret
State party will have majority in the Leg
islature, and by throwing out the fraudu-
lently elected members from Leavenworth
county, which they can easily do, there viii
be Free State majority of two-thirds in
both branches.
Another week viii probably determine
the result definitely.

Low Price OF WHEAT.-The Milwaukee
american, of Sept 14th, says: 1--WE learn
that three cargoes of wheat. about $4,000
bushels, were sold in Joliet, ILL.,, on Satur-
day. at the low price of 40 cents per bushel.
This is a great sacrifice, but the reason of
the low sale was that the farmers of the vi
cinity clubbea together to ship their own
wheat, got it to Joliet, and were forced to
sell at forty cents. Wheat in this city on
Saturday was seventy to seventy three cents,
with very light sales.''

State Elections.

We give the latest returns yet received In
Kanzas of the results in Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania. From Ohio they foot up as follows:
Republican majority, 1,480; Democratic
majority, 1O,56O. Greene county is re-
turned as having given 1900 Democratic
majority. We think this is an error in the
telegraph, as it gave 1900 majority for Ere
mont last November.
Pennsylvania returns are as follows
Democratic majority, 1O,771; Republican
majority, 1909; indicating large Demo.
cratic gain over last years results.
