the campaign has been perpetrated by
supporters of the Fusion ticket upon

consisted of a. body Of armed men

North carelina, as has been most
conc1usively proven by incontrover-

INVEST Virginia the situation was
peculiar, and the result is not claimed

Vermont, as was expected, gave a
Republican majority, but it was a
falling off Of about 5000 from the ma
ljority given at the preceding election
in that State, although the vote cast
this year was much larger than be-
fore. This demonstrates that the
Liberal movement has already weak

Green Mountain State, and as the
good work will go on until Noyem-

Maine is an uncertain State, and
though it has given a heavy Republ-

this may be entirely overcome and
reversed in the Presidential contest
Finally, not one of the States emu
merated above has been claimed as
certain for the Liberal candidates by
the leading men or newspapers Of the
party, so we see no cause for discour-
agelnent or alarm in the result of the
elections. Having implicit faith in

have espoused, and in the intelligent
perception of the American people
nothing short of accomplished defeat

HIPPORHINORRHEA.
How IL Affects business in

\ New York special. dated Goth, says
Clear and bracing weather to-day has
produced more hopeful symptoms among
the sick horses, but there has been but a
slight increase in the number of vehicles
in the streets, The great majority of the
horses in use look weak and dispirited,
while Il green discharge flows frome the
uostrils.
The Management of business grows more
serious each day. Meats, fish and other
perishable articles can not he distributed,
causing heavy pecuniary losses. Retail
grocers and others have advanced prices.
Merchandise arriving since last week re-
mains on the docks, and some of it has
been injured by the rains. Warehouses
are crammed full and can not disgorge to
make room for fresh freight. Vessels that
should have sailed several days ago remain
idle Nearly one million bushels of grain
which should have been shipped on Satu-
days steamers for Europe, has not yet ar
rived in the city, owing to the epidemic
throughout the State, and it is likely it
will be delayed several days longer. The
cotton and provision markets, also butter,
cheese and hop markets, are vsbly affect
ed. There is very little business done in
any line except in future delivery. Droves
of fresh horses arriving are instantly seiz-
ed with the disease.
The number of deaths in New York and
Brooklyn up to tonight from the horse
distemper is estimated at $50. Several
hOstlers have been taken sick suddenly,
but probably from overwork, There are
also doubtful reports of an epidemic lung
fever among other domestic animals.

BETTING ON THE ELECTION.


How Bets Run on the Different States.
The New York Times of the 30th, re-
ports the pool sales at Johnson's Saloon,
Broadway and 2Sth ST., New York. After
no bets could be had on New York for
Grant against Greeley the Times says:
Mr.. johnson then commenced selling
pools for first choice of the three COMPETE
tors-Havemeyer, O'Bren and Lawrence.
The sporting men backed O'Brien to start
with, and made him slightly. the favorite,
the pools selling $l30 O'Brien, Sl20 Have
never, 800 Lawrence. On the eighth pool
Havemeyer and OBrien sold for even
money, $500 each, Lawrence fetching only
500. From-this point Havemeyer forged
decidedly ahead, Lawrence falling more
and more into the background. Have
meyer at length fetching $40, O'Brion
Sl65, and Lawrence only sos. A single
pool was sold on the State of New-Jersey.
Grant bringing $3.50 and Greeley SOD
Another one was sold on Indiana-Grant
500 and Greeley, $40. For Connecticut,
$500 was given for Grant at first choice,
and no bid at all was made for the second
choice. A pool was also sold on 20, 600 ma
iority for Grant in New York State
affirmative, 500; negative, $50 An at
tempt was made to sell a pool on Dix and
Herman, $50 being given for Dix but SO
small q sum was offered for Herman that
the sale was not consumated. Finding II
impossible to sell on anything save the
mayoralty, johnson returned to that,
Havemeyer being still first favorite at
about the same odds. The pool-selling
will continue all the week.

KILLEDINT THE ACT.
Tragic Result of n KukIux Enterprise Near
Normandy.


The'Nashville Banner has received the fol-
lowing particulars of an assault upon the house
of Il colored man, above Tullahoma, by party
of disguised men, and the killing of one of the
assailants
On Tuesday morning, awhile before daylight,
five disguised persons called Mt the cabi of
young colored man by the name of Crawford,
on the farm of Barney Patterson, between Tulla-
homa and Normandy. They demanded ad-
mittanco in u threatening and turbulent man
ner and Crawford refused to open the door, he
being in his cabin alone. The parties then COM
menced breaking open the door, which they
soon succeeded in doing. As quick as the door
opened, Crawford fired upon the foremost man
and killed him dead in his boots. The other
four fell back out of range of Crawfords pistol
and begged the privilege of coming back for the
dead man, which was readily granted.
The man who was killed turns out to be
young Mr.. Carr son of Esq. Thos. Carr, near
Normandy, citizen in good standing in the
community. Mr. Carr says that the parties
who brought his sons remains to his house
were still in disguise and he failed to recognize
any of them. Crawford succeeded in capturing
two disguises and uniforms and one pistol from
the marauders The verdict of the community
is entirely in Crawfords favor. Crawford has
the name of being peaceable, quiet industri-
Gus boy and says that he regrets the occurrence,
but that he don't intend to be run over by men
in disguise This bloody occurrence will proba-
bly, end the KukluX business, that has been oc.
casionally disturbing the citizens of Duck
River for the last three ~ four years.

GENERAL GRANT.
His Characteristic Modesty.

4 large and very enthusiastic Republic
IAN meeting was held at Croton on We'd
nesday evening, the 10th inst. Excellent
addresses were delivered by DIR. Moore
and the Chairman, DIR. P. c. Van Wyck.
The latter, in the course of his remarks,
related the following anecjote about the
President:
Meeting General Grant at Quebec, IN
the summer of 1865, / observed to him
that the fact of his absence from our army,
when it passed through the streets of Rich
mond, had been generally and pleasingly
noticed by the press and otherwise, and in
this respect differed from the practice in
the time of the Caesars, when triumph
would have been demanded by the victo-
rious General or that of modern con-
Iuerors. in heading their army in its tri-
Iimphal march through the fallen city:
The General modestly replied that he had
regarded the fall of Richmond as practi-
caIly terminating the war, and it occurred
20 him that he had better go at once to
Washington and stop the forwarding OF
supplies and further recruiting which he
did remarking he had not thought at the
time of the parade, and should have hac
out little taste for it in any event. The
economy of President Grants administers
ton was thus foreshadowed."
