MARYLAED-In this State the Cengression-
al delegation stands 3 Democrats, 3 Opposition
Same as in last Congress. The Legislature
has been carried by the Democrats. in conse-
qucnce, no doubt, of the capital made by the
party in the Southern and strong pro-slavery
counties out of the Harper's Ferry ~insurrec-
ton, which it will be recollected occurred q
few DAYS before the election.
W1scoxsIS.-The few returns received from
this State indicate the triumph of the Repub-
licans by increased majorities. Our friends in
that State have evidently madea clean sweep,
and bogus Democracy is laid ont " cold as q
wedge"
MAssAcHrsErrs-The Bay State has fol
lowed in the same wake. The Republican
candidates for Governor and State officers are
elected by a clear majority of about 10000
over all opponents, while their plurality over
the Democratic candidates is about $4,000
The Legislature also is Republican in both
branches by overwhelming majorities.
New YoRK-The Empire State has again,
doubtless, proclaimed her devotion to Republi-
canism. The returns are not complete; but
they pretty clearly indicate the success of the
entire Republican State ticket, by majorities
ranging from 5000 to 25.O00Ia portion Of
their candidates being adopted and voted for
by the Americans, and q portion of the Dem
ocratic ticket similarly treated, accounts for
the disparity. The Legislature is largely
Republican in both branches, and of the vari-
Gus county officers elected fully three-fourths
are Republicans.
New JERsEY.-The Republican NOMINEES
for Governor is elected by from 1900 to 1000
maiority-tbe Democrats have a majority of 3
in the Senate while the House is reported to
stand 90 Democrats, % Republicans, 8 Amer
icans.
- LorrsIAxA-The only retarns are from the
city Of New Orleans and vicinity. The Amer
leans carried the city By $500 majority, cleo
ting one of the two Congressman, all three OF
the State Senators, and nineteen of the TWEEN
ty-three Representatives.
ILLIsoIs.-The election in this State was
merely for local officers, except in the Spring
field Congressional district, where a RepreseR-
tative was elected to fill the vacancy occasion
ally by the death of Hon. T. Fl. Harris. No
returns indicating the result have been receiy-
ed.

ARRIVAL OF TwENTY-sx FUGiTIyE SLAVES
AT DETRoIT-The Detroit Advertiser of Sat.
urday, has the following :
The underground Railroad, q principle
branch of which runs through this city, is doing
a thriving business. Yesterday morning a car
go of live freight, consisting Of twcnty-six "chat.
tells" all the way from Missouri, arrived here,
and were safely landed in Canada. Their con-
ductor was a gentleman well known to most Of
our readers for his exploits in Kansas, and his
connection with certain exciting events in Mis-
souri,. They were taken through Nebraska,
Iowa, and Illinois to Chicago, and then to De-
troit. I'll gentleman who escorted the pro-
cession to this city, had about fifty thousand
dollars worth of property stolen from him, or
destroyed, in Kansas, by the Border Rufians,
and is now praeticing the law Of retaliation up
on his plunderers. iag

The daily papers Of yesterday morning con.
tain three different dispatches in reference to
this noted ~individual-all bearing the same
date, Nov. 9. One of them from Utica, n.
Y, announces his reception at the Lunatie
Asylum in that city, he having become ssri-
ously ~dcranged." Another, from New York
city, reports that Gov. Wise had " made a re-
QUESTION on Gov Morgan for the surrender Of
Smith to the Virginia authorities" And the
third, from Richmond, Va, says No re-
QUESTION has been made by Gov. Wise on
Gov, Morgan for Gerrit Smith" a
The following is his explanation of the
monied transaction referred to in the papers,
and his letter, found in the possession of Brown
at the time of his arrest:
Two years ago Mr.. Smith. in order to help
the Free State movement in Kansas. gave
Brown a note of about $500, against a man
then in Kansas. Brown could not collect the
note so he returned it to Mr.. Smith, who
agreed to give him, at some future time, cash
to the amount of the note. After that he lost
sight of Brown until about the first of !une
last, when be received a letter requesting him
TO send a draft for a certain amount, 500 we
think, payable to the order of another party.
Mr.. Smith, in compliance with the request
and his former promise, promptly forwarded
the draft, supposing it was a bona 6de firm to
whom it was addressed.
He probably believed also that the money
was to be used, at least indirectly, in assisting
fugitive slaves, as that was the last " Kansas
work that he knew anything about. Mr..
Smith says distinctly that he had no knowl-
edge or the least suspicion that Brown was en-
gagged in planning an insurrection. This per-
fectly agrees with Browns statements, that be
alone originated and carried on his schemes.

AfDeeperate ARRAY Between a Judge
and q T.a~uar.

and a Lawyer.
The New Orleans Picayune, of October -,
gives the following account of a desperate
fight which occurred between Judge Cullom
and w. B. Lewis in the streets of MarksvilIe,
L a
On Monday morning, after the adjourn
ment Of the District Court, Judge E. North
Cullom came down into the courthouse yard.
w. B. Lewis, Esq, was standing a few PAGES
from the courthouse, conversing with C. Il.
Hines, Esq, when Judge Cullom stepped
closely up to him, simultaneously taking a
brief out of his side pocket, and addressing
Mr.. L. thus " Mr.. Lewis, here is a brief writ
ten by you in the case of E. Fl. Satterfield and
Edward Smith against the Keller Brothers, in
which you have used very abusive and insult.
ing language concerning me. personally, with
out provocation. Now, I desire to know if
you have any apologies to offer me for doing
so?" After a very few words, in which Mr..
L. gave no satisfactory reply, the Judge gave
him a tren endous slap in the face with his
open hand. A little scufle ensued, but moth
ing important was done by either party. On
Wednesday morning, 18th inst, Messrs. Ed
ward r. Lewis, son of w. B. Lewis, and John
c. Lewis, nephew, rode into own at an early
hour. TIL Judge saw them ride in, and imme-
diately OWNED the object of their visit. 1t
was soon rumored about the streets that these
young men, both members of the Bar at Alex
andria, would make an attack on Judge Gull
lon. After the adjournment of the Court,
Judge Cullom, armed, traversed the streets of
Marksville for some two hours, once or twice
within some sixty feet of the gentlemen by
whom he expected to be attacked. At a late
hour they sent him a message to meet them on
the open street. He desired to know if he
should come armed or without weapons. They
asked time for their answer. Subsequently
one of them approached nearly opposite the
place where the Judge was sitting, and reques-
ted him to move a few yards up the street, as
he was shielded by two horses. The horses
were finally taken away by some one, when
young Lewis fred upon the Judge, who return
ed the shot, a brisk contest was kept mp for
some time between the two, until Mr.. Lewis
had fired his seventh shot. At this moment
Judge Cullom's pistol being exhausted, some
one gave him a w~alking-stick, which proved to
contain a snal gun, and with this the Judge
fired q shot, which took effect in the body of
MIR. Lewis, when the contest ended. All par
ties were arrested. The Judge was discharged,
and his opponents were held to bail on q charge
of assault with intent to kill, in the sum of
$4,000.

1t II is a noticeable fact that when Southern
~rufians most brutally murdered "Old Browns
sons, and his daughter. who witnessed one of
those murders became a raving maniac, the
pro-slavery journals found great amusement in
talking of the shrieks from Kansas" Now
when the crazy old man, with twenty vagabond
associates, attempts to retaliate upon the whole
South, these same sneerers at human suffering
are all carried away with panic terrors, or are
themselves " shrieking with rage and calling
for vengeance upon the man thus driven to
madness.-Cincinndti Gazette.

ARREST FOR FoRGERY-John Shaffner aged
about twenty-five, son of a wealthy and a very
respectable farmer of Bloom township, Seneca
county. was arrested and brought before JUS
tice Coonrod on Monday, for presenting a
forged check for 1886, at the Bank of Tomb,
Huss & Co, Of this city, having counterfeited
the name of Mr.. w. K. Hardness, of Repub-
lie. 1t appears that about two weeks pre-
%viously. this same chap had received from Mr..
Hardness a genuine check on the aforesaid
bank for the sum Of SIS. With this as a
copy, two other bogus checks with Hardness
name forged, were filed out, one for SIS, the
other for $50. all th.ee Of which were present
ed together and paid. Encouraged by his
success he made a second attempt on Monday;
but in the meantime the former forgery was
discovered and suspicion was aroused, and
when he presented the check for 1896. as we
have before stated, it was retained by Mr..
Huss, who had the scamp arrested. He was
brought before Justice Coonrod for examina-
ton, on Wednesday, and in default of bail was
sent to Jail to take his trial.-I!Gim Tribune.

OUR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

Below we give the official vote cast for Gov
ernor at the recent e~lecticon in the several
counties comprising the 9Th Congressional Dis
trict. It will be seen that Delaware heads the
list in the aggregate number of voters-also
that she gave the largest Republican vote; and
is second as regards majority, Clark beating
her 93. Our brethren of the " western tier
did not come up to their usual mark on the
Republican scale in the recent contest. They
certainly can, and in the fight of 1850 doubtless
will, do fully one-third better for the cause than
they did at the recent election

While asleep, the young lady's dress took fire.
As soon as they awoke, the young man made

continued to burn until her clothing was all
consumed. She lived only a few hours after.

ed the reputation of a reckless, daredevil fel-

and fortitude than principle. After the cessa-

with Brown in running off slaves from Missou-
