The Popular Vote--7Iow the President is
Elected.


The popular vote, as everybody knows,
does not necessarily decide a Presiden-
tial election. Polk, Taylor, Buchanan,
and Lincoln, at his first election, failed to
receive majority of the votes cast. The
Electoral College system and lack of har-
mony in the opposition tided them over.
In 1864 and again in 1868 there were only
two candidates. The Republican votes
of those two elections were 2,2l6,4 27 and
3,013 ,OSS, against l sos, 725 for Mcclellan,
and 2 FOB 600 for Seymour. Four years
ago the total vote of the country was
5,Gl6, GSS, or about four times what it was
a generation ago. Taking into account the
addition to our voting population since
1865, by the passage of the fifteenth
amendment, the removal of the disabili-
ties of large number of southern rebels,
and the natural growth of the country, it
is reasonable to expect a total vote in No
vember.next of about 7,000,00 AS very
large proportion Of this increase is due to
the Embarrassment of the negroes by the
| fifteenth amendment, and the negroes arc
almost unit for the Republican party, il
is, altogether probable that President
Grants majority on the popular vote will
be at least 900, 900, the heaviest ever cas-
in any party contest in the United States

The Loss OF the Propeller Nletis-Conti.cting
Accounts of the Disaster-The Number of
Lives lost.

The Loss OF the Propeller Metis-Conficting
Lives lost.
New York, August 81 But few additio-
nal particulars have reached this city to-
day concerning the sinking of the Metis.
The stories about the disaster are very con-
ficting. The steamer Narragansett arrived
here this morning at 8 o'clock, bringing
several passengers and three of the deck
hands of the Motifs. Some interesting facts
were obtained from the officers of the
Narragansett.
There is little doubt, apparently, that so
far as the collision is concerned, the blame
lies with the schooner. The fact that she
struck the steamer fairly amidship proves
conclusvely in the opinion of the officers of
the Narragansett, that she was sailing her
wrong course. They believed that the
schooner, after striking the steamer, and
burying her bowsprit in her side, slowed
round and widened the rent, allowing the
sea to rush in great volumes.
The first officer of the Narragansett be-
licves that the number of persons lost does
not exceed 40. He says that innumerable
schooners are cruising around the scene OF
the disaster, and that many persons
thought to be drowned have been picked
up.
Washington, September 2. = Best
accounts estimate the number of lives lost
by the wreck of the steamer Metis at
from forty to fifty.
Neao York, September, "A Stoning-
ton dispatch says 107 persons have been
saved from the wreck of the Nets. TWEEN
ty-five are known to be dead, and twenty.
three are missing.
Sharon Springs, September a. Mr.
Howard, whose wife was lost by the Metis
disaster, arrived here last night and discov.
cred that the body supposed to be bis
wife's was the wrong body. He returned
at once to Watch Hill.

The Clark-FewelI Case-Shooting OF clark by
The Brother of the injured Indy.

Manassas, August 3l.-Jamcs +. Clark
the seducer of Miss Fannie Fewell, was shot
and probably killed in the Jail ut Brents-
vile this morning, about eight O'Clock, by
her brother Rody Fewell. Mr.. Jewell
came up on the night train from Lynchburg,
and got off at Bristol station, and walked
over TO Brentsville, and on going to the Jail
found the front door open.
A black boy the only person present, told
him in which cell Clark was, and on going
there he found Clark lying on his bed.
Seven shots were fred through the grating
Of the cell, one of them taking effect in
Clark's left breast, just below the heart.
Mr.. Jewell returned to Manassas, and
has surrendered himself into the hands of
the authorities. 1t is thought Clark is dead
by this time Ola. N.Y.
The brother of the wronged girl has the
undoubted synpathies of the public with
him. Many wonder why he did not kill
her seducer before.
A messenger who left Brentsvle at 2
O'Clock reports that Clark was still living
when he left, but his physicians say he
must die. Two shots took effect, one in the
breast and one in the side.

Terrible Indian Outrage A Supply Train
MISREPRESENTATION Persons Killed and
WOUnded-Uthers Captured.

Topeka, KAN, August 3l.-Ihe Com
mOntceaHh has the following startling Ind-
an news from Colorado:
Il. Ii. Stanley, of Fort Larned arrived in
this city last evening from Denver. He
reports that on Monday last Government
train, consisting of thirty-six muled teams
loaded with army supplies for Fort Lyon,
was proceeding along Dry Creek, between
Carson City and Fort Lyon, Colorado, I'm.
der the command of Steve Bryan, wagon
master, and while in the valley of Dry
Greek the train was mired in sand
While thus detained band of 300 ARA
pahoe warriors, under the command of their
chief, Little Raven, made an attack which
equals in outrage and ferocity any annals
of Indian massacre. The wagons were
burned, and all the contents that could be
carried off were taken; the mules were run
off, and fifteen men beloning to the train
were left wounded or dead on the bloody
field. Mr.. Bryan was skinned alive from
headSto foot by the savages. Besides these,
fifteen men were missing. They are sup
posed to have been carried into captivity.
The train was under escort of Lieutenant
of the Sixth United States
Cavalry, with 100 men, but being nine
miles in the rear at the time of the massa-
ere no protection could be afforded. Mr..
Stanley was with the escort, and when it
arrived at the terrible scene the savages
were just retiring over the hill beyond,
their tonahawks and shouting in
mad glee over their ill-gotten gains.
