Election in the Territory of Columbia.

By recent act of Congress, the District
of Columbia has been elevated to the dig
nifty of Territory, with Legislature and
a Delegate in Congress. The first election
under the new organization was held in
the Territory, on Thursday last, which
resulted in Republican majority of about
three thousand. General Chapman was
elected to Congress, and the Republicans
have large majority of the twenty-five
delegates to the Territorial Legislature.
1t was an honest, closely contested and
fairly won fight, and the Republicans cele-
brated the result with appropriate reioic-
ings. Col. Forney made speech at Wash
ington, at night, after the election, in
which he renominated President Grant.

remarkable feature OF the present compiexIOn OF
the regular nominations OF both parties |, that
decided preference has been shown for candidates
who are native ana TO the manner purn.n This Is
instanced by the fact that on the democratic SIDE

ITHACA Tompkins County, Oct 26 1871.
Comparatively speaking there Is very little politi-
cal enthusiasm just now IN Tompsins county. Both
parties appear TO be rather indifferent tnan other
wise over the approaching election. There are no
questions OF either local or general interest calcu-
lated TO call out the full electoral strength OF either
side. The Indifference OF the democrats Is owing
chiefly TO the fact that they have no hope Of
electng any OF their candidates for local 0nlces,
ana they do not seem TO appreciate practical i'm
portance to their party or making any special effort
on this occasion to swell the popular vote for the
general State ticket
AS the State gave over 80, 900 majority for Holman
last year the democrats In the rural districts consider
0regone conclusion that the State Will give de-
cded democratic majority TINS year. They depend
upon the city OF New York to more than counter
balance the republican majorties In the country.
While they admit that the Tammany troubles may
operate TO some extent In reducing the democratic
majority In the city they have idea that the vote
Will fall so far short TO turn the tide IN favor OF
the republicans. In fact, they feel quite content

The campaign in New Jersey has been fairly under

the Newark charter election, matters have been
very quiet on both sides OF the house. A week ago
the Republican County Convention assembled anu

democratic County Convention assembled IN
Newark and nominated oy acclamatlon Colonel
James Peckwel tor the same position. The Colonel

TRIAL FOR MURDER IN LOCKPoaT, N. Y.
Case That Will Command Considerable
sympathy.

sympathy.
The trial OF Aratus F. Pierce for the murder OF
William Bullock was commenced in Oyer and Ter
MINER before Judge Daniels at Lockport, last
Wednesday. Pierce is young man OF about thirty,
resident Of Lockport till about two years ago.
when he went to Chicago as clerk. He mas always
borne an lrreproachable character. Bullock was
man of the same age, or little Older and was en-.
gagged IN manufacturing In Lockport where he had
lived several years. An intimacy between Bul.
lock and Yierce's sister was followed by the
seduction OF the latter under promise OF mar
rage as Is claimedl, and the birth OF q child
subsequent to the death OF Bullock. Pierce
learned or his sisters condition and came to Lock-
port, where the tragedy occurred, on the J. IN OF
last March, about eleven O'Clock In the evening"
Pierce had been with Bullock for some time, al the
house OF the formers father, and the two walked
thence down 10 Main street together, quarter ol
mile, apparently amieably. The street at that hour
was almost deserted and very quiet, but lighted by
the gas lamps. Two policemen standing on the
corner Of Main and Pine streets wlich Is pc rhaps
the most public place IN the CITY, saw what followed
Pierce and Bullock came TO one OF these corners
and stopped, standing quite close together aud
facing eacn other when Pierce drew pistol aud
hfed Bullock turned and ned up Pine street.
closely pursued BY PIERCE who fired three more shots
at hn as they ran, IN succession, the policemen
pursuing both. In front OF the Continental Saloon
Bullock fell and lay on his back IN the gutter when
MS assailant came up ana hred another shot az
him which, 1t Is believed, passed through mis- hat.
As Bullock ran he shouted "Murder y, Pierce i'm
