CONCORD, N. H., March 1.-THE
State election to-day called out quite
a full vote. The returns show large
Democratic gains. The election Of
Weston, DEM, for Governor, is pOssi-

elected to Congress in the Second Dis
trict.
Nine o'clock p.m.-Returns from
fifty-four towns foot up 919 net Demo-
cratic gain, and sixty towns show
Pike l2O ahead of Weston. The
complexion of the House is not yet
determined, but the prospect is that
the Senate will be Democratic.
Owing to large Democratic gains in
Grafton county, the Republicans fear
the defeat of General Griffin in the
Third Congressional District; but few
return Of his vote, however, have yet

WASHINGTON.

BUTLER TO RECONSTRUCT THE SOUTH.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE COM
mittee appointed by the Senate Re-
publican caucus has framed bill for
the better protection of life and prop
erty in the South. The committee
reported at a meeting held this after
noon, recommending substantially
the adoption, by the caucus, Of what
is known as Buffers bill. The report
gave rise to a discussion of nearly
three hours, a strong opposition being
manifested to both Judicial and mil
itary features OF the bill, and finally
the caucus adjourned without action
till one o'clock tomorrow. It is the
general impression that the major
ity of the caucus will then direct the
bill to be introduced for It's passage in
the Senate without material mOditiCa-
ton.
DIsABILITIES-ADJOURNMENT.
4 bill for the removal of all disa-
bilitie5 was yesterday rejected in the
House.
The House joint resolution for final
was laid on the table in
the Senate yesterday by vote of 81
to 13.
SUMMERS PLACE AGAIN VACANT.
The Herald's Washington special
says it is understood that Senator
Cameron will to-day resign his posi-
tlOn as Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, on the ground
that his health will not permit him to
assume such labOriOus duties. Mr..
Cameron is anxious to be Chair
man of the Committee on
and Elections, which
is vacant.
Sumner declares that Harlan Is the
next man to Cameron on the Commit
tee on Foreign Relation, but being
Chairman of the Committee on In
dian Affairs, he cannot take the posi-
ton. 1t is probable that Morton, the
third member Of the Committee, will
be made Chairman.
THE REPUBLICAN, CAUCUS.
The House Committee of the Re
publican caucus reported to the ad-
.Ourned meeting tonight. Eighty
seven members were present. After
4 long discussion, it was agreed to re-
port the bill agreed upon by the joint
caucus of the Committees from the
Senate and House, with the under !
standing that it should be discussed in |
he House, and the bill open to Oamend- |
nentS.

COLUMBIA, s. c., March 14.-Cap-
tain Christopher, commanding a eOm-
pany of the Eighteenth United States
infantry, at YOrkville, in letters to
Governor Scott and Sheriff Glenn, Of
Yorkville. asserts that the guns taken
from the negro militia were used by
the pickets to prevent the negroes get
ting away from YorkVille 10 tnelr
homes.
The pickets were some illegal, un-
known and armed band that made q
raid on the Office Of the County Trea-
surer.
A card viii appear in the paper here,
signed by thirteen white citizens of
YOrkville, denying both statements.
They explain their course fully, and
show that Captain Christ0Dher's
own troops did all the picket
