When Doun Piatt thought to extract
some valuable information from the spir-
It's who most do congregatc at DIR. Wolf 8,
AMI asked Jimmy Nolan " whether Gree
ley was going to be the next President
that amiable and communicative ghos
replied that the querist knew as much
about il rs he did, and he could only say
that he Greeley seems to have first rate
chance.
Il would be difficult for q spirit bodied
or discmbodied. to say that the chances
of the Sage of Chappaqua are first rate
since the result Of the October elections
was announced There Is possibility
of success vet left to the Liberal Repub-
icans and Democtats, but they must
make up their minds to do without the
electoral votes of Ohio and Pennsylva
nia. and add them TO the number that are
for Grant
No doubt the Administration maiori
ties in both States, and notably so in
Pennsylvania, WAS largely increased by
imported votes Fully ten thousand vot
ers we're eolonized in Pennsylvania The
state would, as itnow appears, have gone
fei IIartranft any way, but Simon Came
ron is too expert and experienced a poll
tician to take any risks when he can make
assurance doubly sure, and the means
u materials are both ut his service.
NV csfo cot believe it possible e. the
Liberals and Democrats to rally from the
defeat of Tuesday to recover lost ground
before the 4th OF November The influ-
ence Of test elections is usually decisive
upon those that follow, and state that
goes Republican in October is pretty
sure to go the same way a month later
But what grounds can the Democrats
hold? What states 10 it possible yet to
carry for Greeley
1t is worth while to study tho electoral
votes, and their possible division, by the
light Of recent evonts We assume that
the electoral votes Of the following States
are sure for Grant, though we know it

On the other side, we set down as rca
sonably sure for Greeley, provided 1t ap-
pears presently that the bottom has not
fallen out, the following:
The Van Buren press., 1872-10-29
Total for Greeley,

There remains the four States OF Con
nccticut, 6 New Jersey, 9; Indiana, l1j
Arkansas, Gin all SO electoral votes
The whole number is 366, and necessary
TO a choice lS4. Assuming that all these
States cast their votes for Greeley. in ad-
di;ion to those set down as above for
him. he would have lSS electoral votes,
or four more than are required to elect
The most doubtful, Of the four IS Connec-
tjcut The recent township elections
show considerable gains for the Liberals
and Democrats, or at least or so report
el The complete vote is not yet pub
Gshed If he should lose Connecticut
and Gain Oregon or Nevada, he would
sbl be elected II he should gain Cali
forna and lose Arkaus as and some
claim that state for hm--it would not
change the result The loss of New Jer-
scy or Indiana. however, would be fatal
TO him, and the scale, SO evenly balanced,
would turn in favor Of Grant 1t is ad-
milted that both are close and uncertain,
In 1868 New Jersey WIS carried for oey-
mour and Blair by majority OF 2'Ss0,
bv the Republicans in 1870 by lZ3' and
by the Democrats in 1871 by 6,CO1 Upon
a foli vote. rs the figures of these elections
show, the Democrats will poll over So
000 votes and the Republicans in the
neiohhorhood Of $1,000, though they
have never reached that figure yet. With
the detection that exists among Republi-
cans, New jersey can be credited to the
Greeley sidc Of the balance sheet, always
providing the bottom don't drop out.
Indiana gave Grant, four years ago,
majority of 9,572, the whole vote being
3l3, ,532 Two years later it was carried
by the Democrats by a majority OF zoos
upon q vote OF 3l7, 500, or q falling of
of q, ,972 The Democrats came within
6,92l of their vote in 1868, while the Re
publican loss was comparatively l9,Ool.
These represent the reserves upon the
basis of 1868 But the election of Tues
day conclusyely shows that sufficient
number Of the Republican reserves have
gone over to the Liberal Democratic
movement to Rou,ralize the Republican
advantage in full vote, and probably
give the State to Greeley If Hendricks
is elected, it is pretty sure that the State
goes for Greeley next month, for the Re
pubicans have strained every nerve, i'm
ported voters who will beneeded at home
in November, aud used the sinews of war
freely, to carry an election upon the re
suit of which Senator Morton's political
fortunes depend.
Arkansas was carried for Grant in
1868 by majority Of 1893, but nobody
pre;onds that il WAS n fair vote. a very
large number of citizens who labored un-
der political disabilities then will vote
this year, and we may be sure that none
Of those who have suffered from disqual
iGeations SO many years will vote for q
President who has sustained an illiberal
State administration that would be glad
to permanently prescribe this class Of
voters

THE RABBIT IN THE MooN---A FABLE
The heather think that the figure we
see in the moon is rabbit pounding
rice. and this story tells how he came
there:
A fox, monkey and rahbit once
lived together in forest, very happily in
one dwelling One day an old man, toll.
worn, weary and hungry, came to their
home, where they gladly welcomed him,
After while he said to them:
MY children, in my home, q great
way from here, l heard that you, al
though from different families, lived very
happily together, SO l have come to see
if this was true Have you nothing that
you can refresh me y
They all exclaimed, = We viii try
They went in different directions to see
what they could find for tho old mau's
supper. The fox went to the river and
caught a fish; the monkey climbed tree
and brought the finest cocoanuts, but the
little rabbit returned witheut anything,
The old man said to the rabbit:
MY child, i am very sorry that while
your friends can do something for the
old man you do not care to do any
thing"
The rabbit looked very sad, and re-
turned TO his companions and asked them
to help gather some sticks and dry leaves
to make Ere. When this WAS done he
turned to the old man and said:
kind sir, l am poor, feeble animal,
who can not fish like the fox, or climb
trees, like the monkey After looking
everywhere could End nothing worthy
OF your acceptance but to show you that
! am willing to do something for you,
! will give myself. I"
With that ha threw himself into the
hrs and was roasted for the old man's
supper The old man was ono of thor
gods in disguise, and to commemorate
the self devotion of the rabbit, he placed
him in the moon, whore he never should
he forgotten.

In tho counties OF st. Clair and

going on among the coal miners.
Many Of them quit work on the first
Of July, but quite recently the balance
OF them, amounting to five or six thou

Of the miues refuse to accede to their
request for an advance In wages, and
many Of the miners, especially those
who have families, aro in great desti-
tuition, and have been under the neces-
sity Of appealing 10 the public for aid
We are afraid that there will be much
greater suffering among them, as
Winter will soou set In. Owing to
the influx Of immigrants and the sus-
pension Of the work on oil wells In
Pennsylvania, unemployed lsborers
are unfortunately very numerous. We
notice that "strikes" are much mort
successful In Europe this year than
they are In this country. This Is prob
ably owing to the lnternationals being

A cHInssE MURDERER.
From tho 8. F. Chronicle o, yesterday

From the 8. F. Chronicle OF yesterday.l
Murder will out, sometimes. Hoo
Ting zee was arrested yesterday by
officers Woodruff and Dulleld, Oh a
charge Of having murdered Low Ching
Fong at Weaverville, Trinity county,
In December. 1870. The crime was
an atrocious one. The victim was an
old man, who was supposed to have
accumulated some money. His body
was found In his own cabin, shock
lngly mutilated, and the object of the
crime was evidently to get his money.
No effort to discover the murderer was
made at the time. Recently the rep
resentatives at gWeaverville Of the
Chinese Company, which controlled the
murdered man, gained certain Inowl-
edge, which Indicated Hoo Ting zee
"a the assassin. A messenger was sent
to this city, where Hoo Ting Yee has
been at work, and at a meeting of the
Chinese Companies 1t was determined
to hand over the accused to the officers.
He will come up for examination In
the Police Court to-day. Upon the per-
son Of tile prisoner was found a gold
ring which had belonged to the MUIR
dered man, and which bore the inscrip-
ton of his name on the inside. There
was also In one OF his pockets a letter
which had been received from M Of
the murderer's associates at Weaver
Vile, which was to the effect that the
writer was unable to discover the spot
where the murderer had buried the
money taken from the cabin OF his vic
tim, and directing him to write again
and give more explicit directions. The.
letter will lead to tho recovery Of the
property Of the murdered man, which
appears to have been buried by the
prisoner In the garden In rear Of his
cabin.
