General Pillows Mule Claim.
Some time ago General Pillow, who was engaged
in the Confederate army, sent letter to the Secre-
tary OF War asking to DO paid the value Of 200 mules
seized by the Union troops ut Helena Ark. In 1869.
This letter was referred to Attorney General
Williams, who has given to the Secretary his
opinion ON the subject, holding In substance that
the claim is not good the property having BEEN
seized IN state which attempted to withdraw
from the Union and belonging to party not loyal
to the government.
Congress has not determined TO pay persons who
wero in the rebellion for property taken by tho
United States troops, as Is evident by the act OF
Congress providing for the appointment Of a COM
mission to settle the claims OF loyal citizens only.
Therefore the War Department has no warrant To
pay or direct payment OF the claim presented by
General Pillow.
Treasurer Spinner has returned and resumed his
Official duties. rarL

| MARTiNsDURG, W. Va, August o. 1872
! The election to-day In this state has passed OF
quietly although one Of the most bitterly contested
eiectohs ever known here. The vote is the fullest
that mas ever been polled an SO close Is the con-
test that tt will take the official vote to determine
to whom the victory belongs. SO numerous are
! tho tickets and candidates that but few OF
! the counties win get the vote counted before
noon tomorrow 80 that 1t Is impossible might to
form an Intelligent idea of the result; but IL Is safe
to say that the constitution stands In much danger
Of defeat and the regularly nominated State demo
cratic ticket will not have much the advantage OF
it and may fare worse.
The towns along the railroads where telcgraphic
communication can be had seem to have gone
against BOTH In some localities tho tickets are
scratched fearully, no two being alike; and little
attention was paid to party nominees, every one
voting to suit himself From one to dozen indie
pendent candidates were Running for every Office
to be voted for
1t cannot be considered regular party fight,
and neither republicans nor democrats can claim
1t as victory. This county Berkeley, one OF the
most populous in the State Will give q sman ma
jority against the constitution, the city giving
seventytwo. 1t is already ascertained that Jacob
has also forty-two majority here for Governor
WHEELING, W. Va, August %, 1872.
Owing to the length OF the ticket voted for to-day
the result In this city cannot be known definitely
until tomorrow. On account Of the meagre facili-
ties for receiving returns from the Interior several
days will be required before the vote Is known.
In this county, go far as heard from, the inde-
pendent ticket has majority over the democratic
ticket. The returns from portions OF Preston and
Hancock counties give heavy majorities against the
constitution and favor the independent candidates
Tor Governor and congressman.

The election in this section OF the State passed or

polled-the largest on record. In this township the
majority Is about 400 for Camden and the adoption
OF the constitution.
This county Greenbrer) has evidently gone
largely for Camden and the adoption OF the consti-
tuition. Major Mathews, the democratic candidate
for Attorney General, is largely ahead OF his ticket
