4 CONTEST on HAND.

When q square and far contest for of
hce has been had at the ballot-box, al
parties concerned should be satisfied te
abide by the voice of the majority. No,
word has been said by those who op
posed him, that Major Forsse was un
fairly elected, that there was illegal and
fraudulent voting, that his supporters
were guilty of bribery and corruption.
TWAS supposed that tho battle of the 9Th
OF November was decisive and that the
yanquished were ready to submit. But
no, the political vipers who have so long
sought to poison every part of the county
government, who have SO audaciously set
themselves up as despots, at whose feet
the people must servilely bow or die,
have concluded in . " kitchen cabinet I"
that Major Forsse must stay at home,
that the people are fools and no more
competent to choose their legislators
than the thick headed Patagonians. Bas-
ing their actions upon these assumptions
thsy have urged H. d. Baker to contest
the election. The ground of the contest

Horace Greeley is dead. His life ha
been intimately connected with the his
toy Of our country for the last twenty
years. His eminence as journalist ha.
never been attained by any other Amer.

without friends in the world, he raised
himself to q position in the front rank Of
our great men, aud his great achieve

success. Probably the disapn ointmcnt
he experienced in tho last campaign hur-
ried on his dissolution. He is at rest
now. Friends and enemies meet in
common at tho tomb of the dead jour-
nslist and regret exceedingly the un-
timely death Of this very remarkable
man. He died at the age OF sixty-two.

There is some rottenness in the mail
service. Numerous complaints come up

LOCAL MATTERS.

| ACCIDENT TO THE PALIsADE.-Tht
Norfolk Journal of this morning gives ar
account of a collision, yesterday morning
at Z o'clock, between the steamer Palisade
OF this city, and the United States monitor
Canonlcus. As the Palisade was leaving
Norfolk for Richmond it was observed that
the monitor Canonicus was lying across
the channel in such position as to make it
dangerous to pass. 1t was slack-water at
the time, and the monitor had been already
unmoored, and had steam up preparatory to
starting for Philadelphia. The pilot of The
Palsade judged that there was not sufIi-
cient room to pass her on the Naval Hos
pital side, so kept the steamer headed in
such position as to pass between the
monitor and Fort Norfolk.
In the meantime the Canoncus had been
creeping imperceptibly ahead under pres
sure OF steam, so that when the Palisade
came up there were only two courses left
the pilot to pursue, viz: that of running
into the stone pier at the fort, or into the
iron-clad. The latter course was preferred
and q dreadful collision was the conse-
quence. The steamer recoiled from the
IRON monster simultaneously with the
shock, which made the little vessel
tremble from stem to stern. Capt. Roberts,
who was in charge of the Palisade, deemed
1t best to run her ashore at the spot, whence
she was afterwards removed to Graves
dock. The damage might have been much
more serious; but as the matter stands, it
is considerable. The stem head is com
pletely shattered, and portion of the for
ward planking torn off, which will necessi-
tate some delay and heavy expense in re.
pairs.

nominated Chase, and Greeley only accept

1870 an informal Republican caucus was
held in Washington, when it was decided

published his letter of declination.
Greeley was present at this caucus, and
accepted this arrangement. In accordance
with this plan Greeley went West, spoke at
st. Louis, and in the spring of 1871 made his
famous Southern trip to Texas. Returning
thence, Greeley informed his friends that he
thought himself strong enough to take the
first place on the ticket, instead of tie Vice
Presidency and avowed his determination of
running in 1872. This information is yslua

THE GAS MUDDLE.-The investigations
into the affairs IN the gas inspectors office
was continued by the Mayor this morning.
The testimony was not of an important

No new Developments were made con-

that when the metre at his house

metre supplied, since which time his gas

certain metres which were out of order,
was based upon the general talk in the
Inspector s Office that these metres were
out of order.

MISSING FLAG.-Some of our Republic
can friends were startled this morning at
the discovery that the handsome American
flag which has been suspended from the
rooms of the Republican State Executive
Committee for some weeks past had disap-
peared during the night. Ali sorts of sur
misses were INDUCED in as TO the fate of the
banner and the cause of its sudden taking
off. During the forenoon, however, Capt.
Disney, of the Second police-station, sent
word to the committee rooms that the flag
and the rope to which it was suspended
were in his possession, and subject to tue
order of the chairman or secretary of the
committee.
The flag was brought down by the storm
last night. 1t was found by Policeman
George Cook, who went on duty on the
beat at midnight, and conveyed to the sta
ton. Captain Disney, as well as Police
man Cook, has the thanks of the Republ-
cans of Richmond for their kindness.

PETERSBURG, Va, Sept. 2G.
10 the Editor Of The State Journal:
We are to have grand rally of the peo.
pie tomorrow friday night, at the new
market in this city. Ex-Governor Ii. II,
Wells, Hon. w. IL. II. Stowell, Hon, Jas.
Il. Plat, Judge Alfred Morton and Col.
Rush Burgess have consented to address
the people. -
We mean to make it one of the meetings
OF the campaign although it is gotten up on
very short notice. Governor Wells is
very popular here and doubtless a large
crowd will be brought together by the
mere announcement of his name. The
other distinguished speakers will also con-
tribute to draw the crowd and to entertain
and instruct them after they shall assemble.
-, Porter's meeting night before last was
like himself-a grand fizzle. Less than
hundred men and boys gathered to listen to
his dull harangue, and more than half of
them were Stowell men, and half of the
other less than half were converted to Mr..
Stowell by Porter's own statements.

Address from the Straight Opts

Neo York, September GA lengthy
address to the Democracy Of the United
States was issued to-day by the committee
OF the Louisville Convention. 1t explains
the object Of the assemblage of that body !;
opposes the Baltimore platform as I'M Dem
ocratic; contends that the masses of the
Democracy did not demand the nomina-
ton of Greeley and the adoption of his
platform, and says the watchword is not
" Anything to beat Grant," but Any
thing to prevent Greeley from breaking and
destroying the Democratic party"
Grants election, it says, would be less
calamity than that of Greeley and if the
former is chosen, the responsibility rests on
the Baltimore Convention, which refused
the people either Democratic nominee or
platform. The address concludes by in
yoking all Democrats to vote for O'Conor
and Adams.
