THE ELECTION.

There was considerable excitement
here, but little that could be called dis
orderly. We have scarcely ever seen
so many men peddling tickets at any
election as were out yesterday. The
principal contest was between the
friends of Overstreet and Eskridge in
this district. Had it not been for fool
ish report set in circulation by his enc
mics, that Mr.. Overstreet was q seces-
sionist and slave owner while in Texas,
his majority, would have been from 70
to 100 more than it was. Considering
all the circumstances, he made good
race, and his friends are gratified with
his election. We predict that he will
make a good member. The friends OF
the two candidates for County Attorney
were also active. Outside of these two
not great deal of hard work was done
here.

SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR ARVONIA.
Unavailing Search by the Inhabitants.

Thomas Cheshire, about 60 years of
age, was in Reading on Monday, Oct.
18th, made some purchases, and had
with him twelve or fifteen dollars in
money. He took the train from Read
ing to Arvonia station, intending to
walk from there home, mile distant,
and arrived at the station about half
past o'clock, the train being after time.
He was seen by Lewis Edwards and an
other person, going from the station
towards home with sack on his shout
der. His neighbor, Mr.. Lewis, who
lives about quarter of mile from his
house, not finding him at home on Tues
day morning, concluded he had gone to
Mr.. Griff1th's place, two miles of, to
dig coal, as he had spoken of going
there. Finding that he did not come
home on Saturday night, Mr.. Lewis
went on Sunday morning to Griff1th's
house. They had seen nothing of Mr..
Cheshire. Mr.. Lewis then became
alarmed and went to Reading, where
he knew Mr.. Cheshire had gone on
Monday to buy goods. No information
was received, further than that he went
by the train, the previous Monday, to
Arvonia station. On his way home,
Mr.. Lewis went to Arvonia, but could
get no intelligence of the miss
ing man. He returned to Reading with
Mr.. John N. Jones, and in company
with Mr.. Prythro, made thorough
search in and abont Reading, thence to
Arvonia station and to the lost mans
house, and from there to Arvonia.
On Monday morning large number
of persons from Arvonia and Reading
turned out and continued their search
until Tuesday, but all in vain. Last
Wednesday another search was made
with no better success. 1t is now fear
ed Mr.. Cheshire has been foully dealt
with, especially as he was known to be
a man of some means, though he seldom
carried much money about him. These
facts were given by Mr.. Samnel Morgan,
of Arvonia, who was one of the party
n search.

Speaking of the Western hog crop,
the Cincinnati Price Current of last
week says that it is confidently antici-
pated to be large, and that prices will
rule low, but yet there is great perplex-
ity among packers as to paying the
price which is now ruling. Prices OF
pork have been so high for the past
seven or eight years that it is difficult
to educate public sentiment as to what
are really low or rather safe prices.
There can be no doubt that the season,
now close at hand, is regarded by the
trade generally as exceedingly hazard
Gus, and the packer who does not OBJ
serve extreme caution will doubtless
suffer severely. AS high as IS per hun
dred gross was paid in Cincinnati a
week ago.

The imports of dry goods at this port,
says the New York Bulletin, for the
month of October, do not justify the
anticipations of those who prophesied
that the war would induce. a contrac-
ton of our importations. On the con-
trary, we find that the prostration OF
some of the large European markets
has caused an enlarged shipment OF
manufactures to the United States.
The total receipts of foreign dry goods
for the month amounts to SO, 1865 GOO
against only s6,O59. 900 for the CORES.

an increase of over so per cent.

1t is the present intention of the rail-
roads centering in Kansas City, to build
temporary Union passenger depot to
cover ten acres, and to consist of four
sheds, each $50 feet long, with platforms
30 feet wide. This will cost $4,000. 1t
is the intention of the combined rail-
roads running into West Kansas City,
at some future day to erect a building
of white Kansas marble, to cover the
whole ten acres, the roof of the struc-
ture to be of iron and glass, the whole
not to cost less than half million dol
lars. The designer and originator of
this great enterprise is Mr.. C.. Chanute.

RETURNS FROM OTHER STATES.

The returns from the Eastern States
are volluminous, and we have room
only for results at present. We give
them below in condensed form
In New York, the democratic State
| ticket is elected by about 10000 major
ity; and A. Oakley Hall, Tammany
democrat, beats Ledwith for Mayor OF
New York City by $4,000. The repub-
licans elect fifteen of the Congressman,
and the democrats sixteen-ademocrat
gain of three members.
In New Jersey, the republicans carry
both branches of the Legislature, Occur
ing United States Senator,) and elect
four of the five Congressmen-ar eppb-
| lican gain of two members.
The democrats carry Maryland by a
reduced majority, and elect three, and
probably the whole five, members OF
Congress.
In Virginia, the republicans elect
three Congressman certain (including
DIR. Norton, colored), and probably
four.
Massachusetts, elects the Republican
State ticket, and all the republican can
didates for Congress. The Legislature
is also republican.
The republicans carry Illinois by 3d.
600, and elect ten of the fourteen Con-
gressmen-leavingt the delegation just
as it now stands. Long j ohm is beaten.
In Wisconsin, the democrats gain one
member of Congress Mitchell, in the
Mil waukee~district.
The republican majority in Michigan
is 2,000, and the democrats probably
gain one member of Congress.
Minnesota elects her two republican
candidates for Congress by handsome
majorities.
In Kentucky, there are heavy repub-
lican gains, owing to the colored vote,
and it is barely possible that the repub-
licans have elected two of the nine Con-
gressmen. The majority for Winches-
ter, democrat, over Speed, in the 9th
district is only 600-against 1900 two
years ago.
Brown, democrat, is elected Governor
in Tennessee by small majority; and
Prosser, republican, is probably defeat
ed fer Congress in the Nashville district
la republican loss.
Louisiana goes republican by 10000,
and two republican Congressman are
elected-a republican gain of one.

A KANSAS RAILRoAD.-Ania Interesting
sketch of the missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway" appears in the Chicago
Railscdy RerieIc of the 9th ult., which
strikingly illustrates Western Raiil Dad
enterprise. The line in question is re-
ally system of lines, or parts of a sys-
tenn. stretching from Chicago to the City
of Mexico. Seven hundred and seven
ty-five miles of road are already built
the system north of the Red River will
comprise about LOCO miles in all, and
the other 1000 south of that stream will
complete the original plan. The line
passes through a country rich in agri-
cultural resources, presents no difficult
engineering problems, and will develop
vast extent of territory at present
sparsely settled, but capable of sustain
ing dense population. A few years
ago such SCENE would have been con-
sidered Utopian, but the great Pacific
line seems to have abolished the word
impossible from the railroad engineers
vocabulary. 7. Tribune.

Prof Snow reports the average an
nual rainfall of this State at, we be-
lieve, 80 inches, and just previous to
the last heavy rains he reported, if We
remember correctly, that we were be-
hind some six inches this season. This
accounts for the. late rains. Kansas is
never behind on the averages. We
trust the Professor will, at an early day,
officially state that our complement OF
rainfall for the season is made up. We
can get along without any more rain
for Q week or ten days.

Itcan be asserted upon official author
ity that, instead of the President reced-
ing in any particular from the execution
of his avowed Indian peace policy, as
has been asserted and believed by some,
on the contrary he is more convinced
of the propriety and wisdom of secur-
ing the aid of the religious element OF
the country in the work of subdueing
and civilizing the Indians, and he is
determined to carry out his views in
this matter to the fullest extent practic-
able.

BOLD ROBBERY.

The kilograms, day or two ago, con-
tanned the following account of bold
robbery on the Central Pacific Railroad,
in Nevada:
The Central Pacific passenger train,
bound eastward, due here at l O'Clock,
a. M, arrived at Verdi, a small station
IL miles west of Reno, on time. Just
as the train was starting from the sta
ton, three masked men boarded the ex-
press car, and five men Immediately
came to their aid from the rear cars.
These five evidently came from the
express car, which they detached from
the main train by cutting signal rope,
etc.; two jumped on the engine, plac-
ing pistols to the engineers head. com
handing him to move on, which he did.
Two breakmen endeavored to keep the
masked men off the express car, but
pistols, placed at their head, compelled
their retreat. The conductor rushed
forward, but pistols stopped him; find
ing a Ratchet, he came forward again,
in-time to see the engine and express
car separated from the train and flying
down the track. The robbers then
placed the fireman, express and mail
messengers in the mail room and locked
WHICH, ola VI thAo
city they stopped the train, broke open
the express boxes, and robbed them of
Sal 600, i'll gold coin.
Later investigation shows that they
put the coin in old boot tops, and escap-
ed to the mountains. A double barreled
shot gun and pick were left by the rob-
hers, at the quarry where they opened
the boxes. All the telegraph wires
were cut west of Reno. Two of the
Western Union wires, however, were
repaired by daylight.
Parties are searching the mountains,
and will probably be able to throw
more light on their bold robbery.

The Independent concludes some OBJ
servations on the late Unitarian Con-

of the most striking signs of the times
in the religious world is the 'simulta-

Unitarianism, and of Unitarianism to-
ward Orthodoxy. Who knows but
that there exists somewhere between
them, a common ground, on which the
whole church of Christ on earth may
one day stand together in the spirit OF
unity and the bond of peace!"

Republican meeting held at Chicago,
Tuesday night, and addressed by Sena-

the name of Ex-Secretary Cox was re-

which showed well the appreciation in
which his services are held by the great
masses of the Republican party. Sena-
tor Trumbull expressed in few elo-
quent words, his own appreciation OF
the reforms the Secretary had underta-
ken, and his sense of the loss the nation
had sustained in the retirement of the
Secretary.

ABILENE CATTLE MARkET.-Of the
cattle market at Abilene, for the past
week, the Chronicle says:
"Since our last report 404 car loads
of cattle have been shipped from the
Great Western stock yards, in this
plrce. We are informed that about the
same number have been shipped from
Solomon within the past two weeks.
There is yet large number of cattle in
the vicinity, but they are held by ship
pers. Every thing with four hoofs has
been bought up clear and clean and,
therefore, there are few cattle for sale
in this market. The trade has sudden
ly stopped, and buyers have gone else
where. Every man who has dealt in
cattle at Abilene during the season just
closed has made money. Whether the
trade win be as good here next year
depends upon circumstances. Strenu-
Gus efforts are being made to draw it to
other points, with what success the flu
ture alone will demonstrate.
