EDGEFIELD AND KENTUCKY
RAILROAD.
Meeting OF Directors Tuesdny. q
Col Washington Elected President.

The newly elected Board of Directors of
the Edgefeld and Kentucky Railroad met
Tuesday, at noon, at the Office of the
company. - ---
The Directors then held an election for
President, when Col. George A. Washing
ton, of Robertson, was elected President
of the company.
At the last meeting Of the stockholders
of the company, q resolution was adopted
authorizing the new Board Of Directors 10
take such legal action as might be found
necessary in regard to accepting the offer
of the counsel for the State to allow the
Edgefeld and Kentucky Railroad Com
pany to pay off its indebtedness to the
State with S. 200, coo IN State bonds. This
matter came up for consideration yesteT-
day, and q committee, consisting of EnOch
Cunningham, J. D Lockhart, John H
Dunn and John 5. Hart, was appointed to
act in conjunction with the President, in
ascertaining the amount of the outstand-
ing claims against the road, not including
the amount due the State. 1t was UNDER
stood that in case the States offer was ac-
cepted, all these other claims would be
come live claims, and therefore il was
deemed best to ascertain the entire amount
owed by the road.
We should have stated above that all the
Directors were daily sworn in by Esq
Oassetty.
A paper was presented containing the
names of certain parties who had sub
scribed various amounts towards erecting
depot buildings at Saddler's Crossing, and
the Directors voted in favor of allowing
the depot to be built, which may rssalt in
changing the station from Fort Station to
Sadder's Crossing, or possibly both places
will become stations if the business is saf-
icient Hl- r..-
The Board adjourned to meetnext Tues
day, when Mr.. VIM. Connell, the former
President, is expected to transfer the prop
erty of the company to Col Washington
as President and State Receiver. The Di-
rectors are requested to meet promptly at

ST. LOUIS, April 5.-Nearly accurate
returns from all precincts of the city give
Brown, Democrat, for Mayor, 2,053 ma
jority. The msjorities for other csndi-
dates on the ticket range from 1875 to
1926. OF twelve Aldermen elected ten
are Democrats, who, with two holding
over, will make the City Council tie.
The School Board will remain Repubi-
can. The total vote is less than 10000,
out of registration of over 5000.
The Democrat this morning attributes
the defeat of the Republicans mainly to
the apathy of the Germans, who largely
refrained from voting, and says in the
heat of the canvass the Republicans have
become so firmly welded together as to
give an earnest of success in all future
contests. .....
The Republican gives much credit to
the Germans, many hundreds of whom
stood forth in support OF the cause of
Schurz in reputation of the President
and his policy.
The Times says for the first time in
over ten years the city of St. Louis,
lately DISTINGUISHED and dishonored, elects
a democratic Msyor. The home of Grant
repudiates by signal majority, the pol
icy of his administration. The great
principles which be has abandoned and
betrayed have been tTiumphantly vindi-
dicsted in the chief city of the West.
The voice of st. Louis is the, voice of Mis-
souri,.
The returns of the interior cities and
towns of Missouri wear about the same
complexion as those of st. Louis.

OOmments Of the New York Press
NEW YoRK, April 5.-The Tribune sayr
the election of the Governor of Connect
cut deyolves on the Legislature, which
will elect Jewell.
The World says: We will not affect to
dissemble our disappointment that the
Democratic victory in Connecticut was
not more splendid and triumphant. We
have really lost nothing. Although Gov.
English's majority is reduced, he saves
his Office by the skin of his teeth. If the
negro vote had been excluded, his ma
jOrity would have been double what it
was last year when the negroes did not
vote.
Views OF the Hartford Press.
HARTFORD, Apnl 4.--The Hartford
Times Dem declares that English is
elected by 55 msjority. The Evening
Post (Rep.) comedies English's election
by 40 majority. Nothing but the official
count can tell who is elected. Three
Republican, Congressmen are certainly
elected.

HARTFORD, CoNN., April 5 Office of
the Evening Post--Our corrected returns
give English five plurality. There are
slight discrepancies in the votes, of two
or three towns, but giving English the
benefit of all doubts he cannot have more
than Is or 20 plurality, and there are
scattering votes enough to overcome that
and send the election to the Legislature.
There is an alleged mistake of "a in the
count of English, which if corrected will |
On our figures put Jewell 10 ahead The
official count alone will settle it beyond |

CONGRESSIONAL.

/ SENATE.
| . WASHINGTON, April 5.-Mr. Sherman,
resolution for Ku-Klux legislation wa
proceeded with. The time of taking the
vote was extended to $3.50 P. NJ. =
Mr.. Poole defended the Republican ad
ministration of North Carolina. The
tendency of the Democratic Senators
speeches was to encourage Ku-Klux.
Messrs. Bayard and Casserly Indignantly
repelled the charge.
Mr.. Thurman supposed the resolution
had been purposely drawn SC as to be OBJ
noxious TO the Democratic side, in order
to prevent its unanimous adoption, and to
create an impression that the Democratic
members were opposing legislation to put
down the Ku-Klux.
The ku-klux Resolution Passed
The last half-hOur was gwen to the
minority. Several amendments were Of
fered and rejected. The resolution was
then amended so as to direct the Judicia-
~ Committee to report bill as early as
practicable and adopted by party vote

HEAVY ROBBERY.
An E1. sherIfr Loses Over s1,7oo.

An EX Sheriff Loses Over SI,7OO.
Itwould seem that the depredstions of
thieves and robbers are not confined to
the vicinity of Nashville alone, as their op-
erations appears to have extended widely
throughout the surrounding country. On
the night of the 30th ult, some villain or
villains entered the house of W. Il. Stew
art, ex-sheriff of Oheatham county, while
he and his wife were asleep, and robbed
him of 81, 700 in greenbacks and $50 in
silver. They lighted lamp and taking
the keys FROM his pocket while
he was. asleep, opened the
drawers where the funds were deposited
and abstraeted the same. The perpetra-
tors, whoever they we're, were well ac-
quainted with the premises, knew the
money was in the house and where it was
deposited. Hence the great success OF the
robbery and escape of the robbers. 1t is
surlnised that some sort of drug was ad-
ministered to Mr.. Stewart and wife while
asleep, to prevent them from wskenine
while the villainous work was being ac-
complished. No clue exists as to the per-
petrstors.

We are informed by reliable attorney
of Jackson, that there is pending before
the Supreme Court now In session at that
place, case to test the question as to
whether the 'Torbett issue shall be re-
ceived for taxes. The decision of this
question is looked to with much interest; if
the court decide in favor of its being re-
ceived, it will greatly enhance its value,
and those who hold much of it will make
money; and besides, if the decision is that
way, it will greatly depreciate the value of
treasury warrants, as their payment will in
that event be necessarily delayed.

A MIXED DISTILLERY CASE.
Verdict OF $4,000 against a United
states Marshal.

Verdict OF $50, 900 against a United
states Marshal.
A case OF considerable interest, as CON
Germs distillers and as affecting the author
ity of United States Msrshals, as well as
involving the jurisdictions of Circuit and
Federal Courts, was recently developed IN
months since Col. Eaton, United States
Marshal for West Tennessee, received a
warrant for the arrest Of Mr.. E. s. Reed,
of Haywood county, upon the charge Of
being an illicit distiller, and fually
succeeded after much trouble and
annoyance in capturing him. When AZ
rested he promptly gave bond for appear
ance for trial, and being re eased returned
to his home. Thinking that the arrest
was an informal one, Mr.. Reed brought
suit in the Haywood titcui. Court, for
damages against Col. Eaton, as United
States Marshal, laying his less to health,
wealth and feeling at the modest sum of
ESQ, 900. Upon being notified of the suit,
Col. Eaton procured writ Of certiOrari,
bringing the case into the United States
Courts. The Haywood Circuit Judge re-
fused however to recognize the writ, and
going on with the case, did a few
days since give judgment against Ea-
ton in favor of Reed fOE the
amount claimed, $50, 900. 1t is thought
that the verdict will be set aside, and it is
syerred that the proceeding renders both
the Circuit Court and Mr.. Reed liable to
arraignment before Judge Emmons of the
United States Court. As the case and
surroundings now stand they are rather
mixed and complicated, involving clearly
the jurisdiction and supremacy Of the two
courts. The final termination Of the
affair will be looked for with consider
able degree of interest. srf zfssr

THE WEATHER.
az Degrees at Omaha-A storm
Brewing.


WASHINGTON, April 5, 7:30P. M-The
weather synopsis for the past twenty-four
hours: The barometer continues low,
with light rain and cloudy on the Pacific
coast. 1t has fallen somewhat in North
Nebraska and Iowa, with fresh northeast
winds from Lake Superior to Lake Erie,
and threatening weather on the lakes fol-
lowing the clear weather which has pre-
vailed since Tuesday. The pressure has
varied from the Ohio valley southwest,
with generally clear weather. Brisk
northwest winds and clear weather have
prevailed over the Middle and Eastern
States, but a falling barometer now sue
ceeds the recovery from yesterdays low
pressure. The temperature has re-
mained nearly constant in East Missis-
sippi; that at Omaha has risen from 81
degrees al 7:35 A. M. to 80 degrees at 4:35
P. NJ.
1t is probable the barometer will con-
tinue falling over the lakes with incre as
ing cloudiness and threatening weather.
Light and fresh winds with partially
cloudy weather will probably be ex-
perienced along the gulf and Atlantic
coast and the lower Mississippi.
