The Result in the State.

The Congressional delegation stands
l3 Republicans to II Democrats. The
Harrisburg Patriot makes the Demo.
cratic majority on the aggregate vote
about 1000, but the Philadelphia Age
claims about 5000. Considering the
large addition of Negro votes obtained
by the Republicans, this result shows an
overwhelming Democratic gain of
White votes. The Legislature stands
as follows:
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1870-10-21
Republican Majority,

Mr.. MERCUR is clearly indebted to
the Negro vote for his election, and
White Men have the questionable sat
isfaction of knowing that their Repre-
sentative in Congress holds his seat in
virtue of the newly gained power of the
sweet scented African!

The Sunbury Election.

In the borough of Sunbury at the late
election, most of the borough and ward
officers being electable under the new
plan of voting, there was partial di-
vision of them between parties. The
Chief Burgess and the Second Burgess
were respectively voted for at large,
under the majority rule, and were of
course carried by the Republican ma
jority of the town. But to most OF the
other officers the new rule applied.
Each of the two wards elect annually
two assistant Burgesses and four MEM
bers of the Town Council, besides their
proper Ward officers. We give some
results in the West Ward from the
election returns before us, which show,
however, only the votes given to can.

ELOPEMENT FROM CHICAGO.
A Married Man Runs Away with His
servant Girl.

From the st. Louis Democrat. 9th.l
Yesterday afternoon a stout, rosy
checked Saxon girl, carrying yearlinE
baby in her arms, entered Justice Jecko'i
| office in state of deep distress. The
tears were coursing down her cheeks a:
big as beans, and her eyes were red witt
weeping, while her hair bore strong re
semblance to crows nest.
Joe Siegwart, the clerk, who Away:
sympathizes with beauty in distress, es-
pecially when there is baby IN the
ease, invited the weeping damsel TO a
seat, and in his blandest tones requested
her to unbosom herself. The substance
of her story was as follows
She came from Chicago, city OF
limited industrial resources, on Lake
Michigan. Her name is Albertine
Schultz, and her age nineteen years.
She was unmarried The baby in her
arms was hers. She had been cruelty
beaten by woman from Chicago, and
she came to invoke the protection of the
law
go on" said Stewart, when the sniff.
fling fraulein had reached this interest.
ing part of her narrative; proceed and
tell all about it-how it was done, why il
was done, and who did it"
The girl went on to state that at the
age of sixteen and half years she came
over from the old country. and having
no relatives, went to live with William
Rindelman, who kept a saloon and
clearinghouse at the corner of Frank
lin and Jefferson streets, Chicago. Rim
delman had wife and two children, but
did not love them passing well. He took
a fancy to Albertine, who was young, in
nocent Gnd con6ding. besides being not
bad-looking.
Under the circumstances II was no
difficult matter for the lustfnl landlord TO
effect his purpose with the rosy-cheeked
barmaid. Whether his wife was cOgni-
zant of the intimacy existing between
her husband and Albertine does not ap-
pear. One thing does appear, however,
and that is a blue-eyed baby, now one
year old.
After the birth of the baby the land
lord became still more attached to Al
bertine He finally proposed to elope
with her, and come to st. Louis and get
a divorce from his wife, and then marry
the pretty barmaid. AlbertiRe agreed to
this romantic proposal, and accordingly
he and the girl and the baby arrived
here on Saturday last. They left the
bar-room and boarding-house, with all
the liquors, fixtures and furniture, 20 the
deserted wife, hoping she would be sat
isfied and not trouble them.

MERCHANTS MEETING.
Action OF Our Merchants Last Eve
ming ON the Merchants Tax.

Action OF Our Merchants Last Eve
ming ON the Merchants Tax.
A number Of our leading merchants
met last evening at the Chamber of Com
merce. The proposition under discus
sion was the proposed odious merchants
tax. Mr.. Moore offered the following
preambles and resolutions, which we're
unanimously adopted-after which the
meeting adjourned;
Whereas, Its the desire Of the citizens
of Memphis that the credit of Tennessee
shall be equal to that of any State IN the
Union, and to this end are willing to bear
their full share of the taxes; and,
Whereas, In order to accomplish SAID
end they believe that a wise and equita-
BILE system of taxation should be digested,
tending to accomplish that result, where
by the State burdens, be they much or
little, shall be made to fall fairly and
equitably alike upon all classes of the
community; and,
Whereas, The proposed revival by our
State Legislature of the late odious end
oppressive tax law, whereby the mer-
chants of our State we're forced to pay
taxes at a rate more than ten times
higher than other classes, thereby driving
from our borders the vast commerce
withoutwhich there can be no prosperity
to farmers, mechanics, or any other
classes of our population, and is in open
violation of every principle of right,
fairness and wise political economy;
therefore,
Resolved By this Chamber of Com
merce, that we earnestly and soiemnly
protest against the present attempt by a
portion of our State Legislature to i'm
pose again upon the commerce OF the
State burdens which have been plainly
shown to be too grevious TO be borne.
Resolved, further, That inasmueh as
the amended Constitution OF our State,
article 2, section %, distinctly says that
the portion Of merchants capital used
in the purchase Of merchandise sold by
him to non-residents and sent beyond
the State, shall not be taxed at rate
higher than the ad valorem tax on prop
erty, il would be specially unwise TO re-
yive the merchants tax law, in which
event il would hardly be unreasonable to
expect an almost unanimous opposition
on the part OF merchants, who feel con
WINGED that no court Of justice would
enforce so manifest a monstroslty; also,
Resolved, That the revival Of the mer-
chants tax law, will do more than all
other influences combined to drive trade
away from us TO other cities.
