The Election.

The lack Of satisfactory information
regarding the late election still con
tinues. A few additional returns have
reached US, but upon one or two points
in which the chief interest centers we
have no advices. Wetzel county, fol
example, has not yet forwarded hel
official vote. Upon the Democratic ma
jority in that county depends the
choice of Senator in the Second District
We have learned, however, that the
vote in Wetzel was unusually light, and
as Brown, Republican, has 275 majority
in Marion and Marshall, we greatly feal
that MORRIS, Democrat, has not OBJ
tanned anything like sufficient ma
jority IN Wetzel to let him through
This is especially uncomfortable in view
of the fact that Wetzel has not before
for several years givou less than three
hundred Democratic majority. 1t will
be unfortunate if when their full
strength would count the Democrats Of
that county have not polled it.
Hancock is on hand with about hel
usual Republican majority. One town
ship in Hardy makes a good showing
giving some sixty majority for the Con-
servativs candidate. Preston gives two
hundred Republican majority, an i'm
mense falling off, but as it appears that
the Democrats could have elected the
"let up" ticket by voting, and did,
not, there IS little consolation in mere
numerical sains Contrary to our in
formation on yesterday, RExRoAD, pro-
scriptive is elected over KIMBALL, Lib
eral, in Ritcbie by35 majority.
The news from Kanawha county is
glorious Our correspondent names 200
as the inside figure for the Democratic
majority and announces the election OF
the entire Democratic ticket, including
SMITH and SUMMERS to the House.
This is beyond our most sanguine hope,
and clearly entities the Kanawhs DEM
ocrscy to the banner.
There was rumor upon the streets
last evening that MCWHoRTER, Repub'
lican, had been elected to the Senate
from the Seventh District, but this we
cannot reconcile with the figures from
Kanawha.
Here we rest. II the returns from the
balance Of the State are as satisfactory
as those already in, they will leave liz
tie to be desired.
Since writing the above We have
received the telegram elsewhere given,
confirming the news from Kanawha and
detailing pleasant results in Roane,
Mason and Putnam. We think it pretty
certain that PATRICK, Democrat, has
been elected to the Senate over Nc
WHoRTER, Republican, from the Sew
enth District, though as the latter was
regarded as liberal in his views, there
is q bare possibility he may have cui
down the Democratic majority which
has slaughtered his Kanawha col
leagues, and thus get through.

Elections To Day.

Elections occur to-day in Maryland,
New York, Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin
and Minnesota. In Mary land State
Comptroller, members of the Legisla'
ture and county officers will be chosen.
The next Legislature will choose State
Treasurer, and upon this point some in
terest is felt, the delegates from some
counties having instructions to vote for
certain candidates. Aside from this,
there is nothing to produce excitement,
unless it be some local questions, which
in few counties have caused indepepd-
ent tickets to be put in the field. In
Allegsny county the Democrats are
somewhat divided on account of person
al squabbles between leaders. 1t is
thought the Republicans may carry the
county by reason Of this division.
Throughout the State the vote will be
light, though round Democratic ma
iority 10 as certain as the election itself
The State nominations are as follows
DEMOCRATIC CONSERVATIVE.
Com uptroller-Colonel Levin Noolford, Of
Somerset county.
REPUBLICAN.
Comptroll.r-Celonel William A. McKellip
Of Carroll county.
In New York there are to be elected a
Secretary of State, Q Comptroller, a
Treasurer, an Attorney General, State
Engineer and Surveyor, Canal Com
missioner, an Inspector of State Prisons
two Judges of the Court Of Appeals,
eight Justices of the Supreme Court, q
full Legislators, consisting of thirty-two
members of the Senate, who will hold
their Office for two years, and one hun
dred and twenty -eightinsmbers of the
Assembly, who will mold their office for
one year.
A vote will also be taken upon the
new Constitution adopted by the Con-
vention of 1868. In this the issue is
presented of allowing negroes to vote
without the property qualification
which has heretofore been required.
THAT the qualification will be retained

WE are reliably informed that Hon.
JAMES BURLEY, of Marshall, has been
elected Overseer of the Poor in his town
ship. This completely puts at rest the
absurd rumors that his Republican
friends, in failing to re-nominate him
for the State Senate, had shown that
they regarded his ability and services as
valueless. They have simply transferred
him to another sphere of usefulness,
where, we doubt not, his energies will

Some time since, barber was brought
before the police court at Paris, charged
with having customers in his house after
midnight. The examination was thus re-
ported.
Barber-It is the fault of this person,
Merlon, who is in the court, as he has not
time to be shaving until late at night.
The President-You ought not, at all
events, to disturb the peace there were
cries issuing from your house, as if you
had been committing murder.
Merlon--He was shaving; that's almost
the same thing. Laughter.
The President-Was it you, then, Mer-
lone who was crying out as if you were
being fayedf - ~'-~
Merlon-Yes, in fact he was fiaying me
ribly.
Barber-It is very true, but made a
mistake. - r

Barber.--Indeed 1 did, In the spirit of
my order. You understand, one does not
like to be below his business.
The President and Merlon together
And why ~ u EEy f-
Barber.-The whole affair is this; Mr..
Merlon is not to be trusted, as he does not
pay the ready money. He used to cheat
me In the number of shaves for which he
owed me when he had twelve, he used to
say that he had only six, so that lost both
my razor, my soap, and my time. At last

Marriage Brokerage in Paris.

SPENDTHRIFTs who have squandered
their fortunes, and need dowry TO re-
place them, can read in the Paris papers
an advertisement of handsome, modest
and amiable young lady, with an income
OF 10000 francs year. They hasten to
write, and two days after receive a re-
sponse, and with hand trembling with
emotion they open this CupidIs lnissiVe,
which says such business cannot be done
by correspondence, and begs them TO call
at his "bureau," assuring them that theirs
being the first communication, they will
have the preference. They imagine the
fortune already theirs The "buTeau is
generally situated in very fine house
A valet in livery introduces you into a
magnificent saloon, ornamented with ex-
quislte taste, from whose open doors you
perceive a succession of rich apartments.
Here Cupid Teigns supreme. All the
paintings, statuettes and books are de voted
to this god. Two pretty children (hired,
without doubt, are playing in the room,
After being kept waiting short time, the
broker appears, and excuses himself, upon
the plea OF business, for making you wait I;
after which he rings, and with an insinu.
ating smile, begs TO offer you glass of
wine. When the same valet appears he
expresses his astonishment at seeing him
perform this service, and demands, with
an angry air, where ia Pierre, Antoine,
Francois. He answers without hesitation
lone has gone TO the bank, another to
the opera to engage a'"loge for madame,
and the third for the affair of the count.
This deception is intended to make an
impression, The valet is the only servant
Of the establishment and is even the
father of the children in the saloon.
This is only the prologue-now the come

upon stamped paper--with the terms of
the agreement--for which he must pay 10

will serve for other victims. Upon some
pretext the ladies leave the table, as they
recollect an engagement at their bankers,
etc. The broker softly informs him that
he must send to his native place to make
inquiries about him, and requests him 10
call the next day and arrange this matter,
which he accordingly does, and there
meets accidentally the lady aud her aunt.
A cerk is called who is to make The ne
cessary inquiries. This applicant must
pay the expenses of the journey, which
will amount to one hundred and forty
francs. He hesitates. The aunt very nat.
urally declares that she win pay one. half,
and to set the example draws out an ele-
CANT silk purse which she says is the work
of her niece-he admires it--she offers il
to him--to accepts, and as IL ia nt cesar y

leaves immediately-7l0 francs. During
the CLERKS absence he visits tie agency,
but does not meet the ladies. The broker
reminds him of the gift of the purse, and
wishing to make return, he gives bril-.
liant of two hundred and fifty fra cs-960
francs. The clerk (who has not left Paris
has been taken suddenly III on his jour.
ney, which lasts four days, and costs eighty
francs-1 ,040 francs. Finally the appli
cant becomes impatient, but the broker
informs him, with an air of the deepest
grief, that he must consider himself very
