The New York World describing the scene
In the ante room of the grand jury's apart
ments, when large number of well-knowp
spectators were assembled in answer to sub
penas, relates the following anecdote, as told
by one OF the bvstanders Of Mr.. Daniel Drew
He is a sharp old fox, ii be has endow ed
theological seminary. know lawyer who
acted as a referee in case wherein Daniel
was interested. The referee gave an opinion
very favorable to Drew and charged him
81 so. Daniels face never moved. He paid
the bill and quietly remarked Mr., if YOU
have no immediate use for this money it
nght be very profitable if you should invest
it N such way. l do not advise you 10 in
vest: simply say that you might make it
1t very greatly your advantage The attorney,
WHO sup, osed that Drew was pleased with the
result and satisfied with the rather exorbi-
tant fee, nelievi g that Daniel proposed to do
him good service, went directly and invested
the twenty-five hundred and thousand be-
sides as Drew had suggested. In two DAYS he
lost every cent. That is the way he got even

PHENIx HOTEL. Nov 9, 1869
Sidney Smith dated letter twenty miles
from lemon. Lovers of punch are sometimes
hard pressed for materials OF bbulous delight
Not less drv of news is Concord at this present
moment. Bro. Coggswell of the Monitor very
kindly put his file and his reading room at our
service, but not an item worth noting appeared

one should walk a mile. Two, perhaps, after

guests. Two years have passed since we have

landlord.
THE STATE HOUSE,

able Reps. and Senators gather here, though
even their stay is characterised by ommeuda-
BILE brevity. The memorials of the war are in
teresting, gathered in the lower hall. There
are our battle flags, torn to tatters by shot and
shell and stained with blood; here guns taken
FROM the rebels, and there the mortars and
howitzers that aided in the conquest. The
Kimbail Brothers have prepared some fine
photographs of these memorials, which are
novel and unique pictures and ornaments to
the place. A few minutes walk ON State ST.

The horrid murder he committed at Hamp-

memory of many. We spent half hour in
conversation with him. He is quiet, composed
and ready to converse The sensational item
going the rounds, copied into to-day's PRESS,
which we read just after breakfasting at the
Walker House this morning. is purely ficti-
tious. When the chaplain announced his
speedy execution he calmly replied that he ex-
pected it would be so, although he had hoped
1t would be different. He told US that be was
drunk when he murdered Brown and wife,
and had then been eight days under the ipfu-
ence of liquor. He shows little emotion, al
though ready to have clergymen and others
converse and pray with him. His execution
takes place next Tuesday morning. Great
sympathy for his religious condition is felt by
christian people here. Several clergymen and
christian ladies have labored to awaken in him
some realization of the fearful crime he has
committed and the fate that awaits him

our disnatchss of yesterday gave tolera-
b,v accurate idea of the result of Tuesdays
elections. Massachusetts, reelected Gov.
Clahin by an estimated majority of $4,000.
In PAT towns heard from, the vote stands
63492 for Clafin, 46,sS5 for Adams and - $50
for Chamberlin.
1t is quite difficult to decide whether the
Legislature is in favor of, or opposed to, the
Prohibitory law. The Journal is confident
that the people have expressed their disappro-
baton of it and elected a majority OF the leg
islators opposed to it, while the 1rdoetteT says
that of the forty members OF the Senate. twen-
ty- me are known to be favorable, and that it
lremain upon the statute book another year
George NJ. Brooks is elected to Congress from
the It'll district to succeed Sec. Boutwell,.
In New York the Democrats have been sue
cessfu, so far as the general ticket is concerned
by a majority OF from 1000 to 10000. The
Republicans have probably secured MAORI
ty OF the Legislature upon joint ballot. ..'
1t is stated that Democratic Repeaters poll
ed 10000 illegal votes in New York city, not
withstsndng which the Democratic vote was
reduced some $4,000 from that Of last year.
The rural districts failed to give their
usual Republican majcrities. which, in con-
neetion with the Democratic frauds, accounts
for the defeat of the State ticket. Speaking
of these frauds, the Tribune sa that the 9th
and 7th wards gave Democratic majorities ex-
ce ding their entire legal vote, while the 21st
ward poled 1000 fraudulent votes .
Toe Democrats almost unanimously voted
against and defeated the amended constitu-
ton with the requirement of equal taxation
on real and personal property, while their
votes uphold aud perpetuate the property
qua iication tor colored men.
The Judiciary article was not so generally
opposed by them.
New Jersey went Democratic as usual.
The few returns from Minnesota lead to
the conclusion that the pc itical complexion of
that State remains unchanged
The returns from Illinois are somewhat
meagre, owing probably to the fact that Coun-
ty officers only were chosen, and but little in
tere-t was manifested in the result.
The municipal election in Chicago resulted
in the success of the citizens ticket, composed
of candidates from both parties.
Gov. Fairchild was reelected in Wisconsin
by about 5000 majority, which is Republican
gain. . a.
The elections in Mobile, Alabama, and De-
troit, Michigan, resulted favorably to the Dem
ocrats.
