ANOTHER LETTER FROM CHARLES o'coNoR
ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
New YaaK, Oct. 9,-The Her4Ms Richmond
Ta-) despatch has a letter from Charles OCon-
Or to James Lyons, Of that city, dated Sept. 80,
in which O'Conor says that he has not indi-
Gated any alteration in his resolve not to be
candidate, as set forth in his communication to
the Louisville Convention. He adds: =" It may
be true, as you suggest, that the people will not

nh Rc.nI, in North Carolina.

The later returns of the vote In North Car
ollna, are so very favorable to the republicans
as TO indicate the election OF their whole state
ticket. The majority claimed for it, at Raleigh,
Monday night, was 1000; and the democrats
there seem to have admitted the defeat Of their
ticket, although some Of them still hoped that
the official count would make them all right. 1t
may be that the official count, by correcting er-
rors, will elect Merrmon; but ii is quite as like
ly to increase the majority now claimed for
Caldwell. So far, the errors made in the ere
ports" have generally been in favor of the dem
ocrats, because the reporting agencies are gen.
orally democratic. This is why the majority
claimed for Merrimon, in these reports, has
gone down gradually from 10000 to nothing
More complete and authentic returns have cor
rected the errors made by guesses and assump-
tons. This being the case, Merrimon's sup
porters can not safely look for comfort TO the
official count, for the chances are that this will
add something to their grief by increasing the
vote against them. 1t will, however, be pru-
dent for all parties to wait for that count, lest
they be tempted to burn powder in vain, as the
New York liberals" have done already, and as
others were about to do at Norfolk, Va, when
they ware checked by i'll news.
One thing, however, is certain, whether Mer-
rmon is elected byja small majority or defeated,
as the republicans claim, namely: the demo-
Gratis have lost ground in this election. At the
last trial of strength between the parties, which
took place in 1870, the democrats had majority
of nearly 5000. There has been no election since
until now. Last year there was vote on the
question relative to calling constitutional con-
vention, and there was majority of nearly 49,
600 against the proposition; but many demo-
Gratis voted against 1t. Not until now have the
two parties, as parties, contended at the ballot
box, since 1870. In this last contest the demo
Gratis have lost their majority of 5000, and, on
the other hand, have 1000 majority against
them, if the claim Of the republicans is correct,
making republican gain Of nearly 1000. At
any rate, the republicans have made very large
gains, whether that claim be correct or not.
This is an encouragement to the republican
party everywhere. A great success is possible
throughout the country; but to reach 1t, there
must be wisdom in management and persistent

10 days.
The following resolutions were passed by the
school committee:
Whereas 1t has pleased Almighty God, in his
wisdom, to take from our midst our fellow laborer
and friend, David c. Avery, who, by his interest in
the cause OF education, had merited the regard Of
the youth of the town, and whose modesty and
fidelity had gained for him the respect of his
eiates and the confidence of the community; there
fore,
Resolved, that we, the members of the school
committee of Milbury, deeply feel the loss sustained
by and the citizens Of the town In being deprived
of the services of our fellow member who by HIS good
Judgment, his earnest cooperation, his genial and
sympathetic spirit, and his familiarity with our
school system, gained by years Of faithful
vice upon our board, had won our respect as man,
aud led highly to esteem his counsel in times of
embarrassment and difficulty.
Resolved, that we tender to the afflicted family
and friends Of the deceased most heartfelt SYM
patty in this the hour Of their bereavement, and
earnestly trust that He who giveth and taketh
away as seemeth to him good, will sustain them by
the bright hopes which q knowledge of his worth
and integrity inspires.

Tennessee held an election for local officers on
the same day with North Carolina. AS far as
heard from there were uniform and heavy re-
publican gains. The returns from all the coun-
ties in East Tennessee show large republican
increase 1t was a square party issue, and the
republican successes are emphatic. In the
greater interest attaching to the general election
in North Carolina, this contest in Tennessee has
been overshadowed. But as an indication of
public sentiment ii is as significant.
While Sumner counsels the black men to fol-
low him over to the enemy, his new allies in
West Virginia are doing their best to pass an
amendment to the state constitution debarring
the blacks from all right to hold Office. The
question is to be settled at the next election and
the Greeleyites are all for the amendment

John Quincy Adams, we hear, will vote for
Grant and Wilson. A gentleman of this city
states that he heard him say this, Monday, while
riding and conversing in one of the cars of a
train on the Old Colony railroad. His state
ment is that Mr. Adams, in reply to question,
said: 81 shall support and vote for Gen. Grant"
We have faith in this statement, because the
gentleman who makes it is entitled to conf
dence, and, also, because the fact stated is what
our estimate Of the character of Mr. Adams has
led us to expect.

On the first of this month, there was an cleo
tion in Tennessee, for local officers. The repub-
licans made important gains in every direction,
and this or something else moved the kuklux
spirit to perpetrate outrages on colored oters.
The following account of one of these outrages
was reported to the Cincinnati Gazette, in a spe-
cial dispatch:
MEMPHIS, Aug. AT Balston's store, in
the northern part of this county, at the election
hell to-day, the Greeley men had an open key
OF whiskey and roasted beeves for those who
would vote the democratic ticket, but from first
threatened the colored people that unless they
voted that ticket they should be kukluxed
When at about noon some hundred colored
men had bravely voted the republican
ticket the Greeley ruff1ans set upon a colered
preacher, Mr.. Dunlap, charging him with being
radical leader, assaulting him with fists and
knives, and upon Others endeavoring 10 separate
him from them and save his life, attempted an
ndiscriminate massacre Of the colored citizens
present. Some were savagely cut with knives,
some shot so that they could not get away, and
some beaten with clubs All who could fled for
their lives. Some twenty, only slightly wound
ed or uniniured, have reached Memphis and
called on the United States marshal for protee-
ton.
According to Mr.. Summers letter, these ku
kluX supporters of Greeley have been converted
to republicanism. If he likes their sort of re-
publieaniSm, and shall persist in supporting a
movement which aims to give them control of
the government, he himself must have been
converted to something very different from the
grand principles and policy which have made
his public record what it is.

DANGEROUS PLAY.-Yesterday Mr.. Charles
Thompson, an employee of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, and his wife, only lately
married, treated himself to little game of hide
and seek for pastime. When 1t came MIR.
ThompSon'S turn, he resolved TO hide where
there was no possibility of discovery. At the
signal TO Come" Mrs. T. began to look eagerly
from place TO place, but nowhere could her hus-
band be found. The house was ranSacked from
garnet to cellar. A tour around the premises
was made outhouses and fence-corners exam
ined, but the truant was not TO be found. Mrs.
T. became alarmed, and called loudly for her
husband, but there was no response. A half
hour was spent in fruitless search, when she
determined 10 make a second search in the
wardrobe. She had tried the door once before,
and finding it locked, could not believe that he
had hidden himself within. However, the OPP
posite door was opened, and cautiously she
inserted her hand, when it came in contact with
human hair in the midst of the clothing. She
called the name of her husband, but there was
no response. The wife, Mortified at the thought
that her husband was dead and locked up in
the wardrobe, screamed and ran to neighbours.
The lady and gentleman quietly ran in and
pried open the door, when Mr.. Thompson was
discovered doubled up in half-sittng posture,
cold. motionless, and to all appearances dead.
Dr. Griffith was sent for and the body was
taken from its hiding place and stretched upon
bed. The pulse was examined, but no beat
ing could be felt-respiration had ceased, the
limbs were cold, the eyes were set, and there
was little doubt the man was dead. Upon a
close examination of the heart, however, the
doctor discovered a faint and almost imper-
ceptible movement. The clothing was hastily
removed. A heavy friction of the limbs COM
menced, and proper restoratives administered.
Gradually the circulation increased, warmth
was restored, and in about threequarters of an
hour after the arrival of the doctor Mr.. Thomp-
son could speak.
Mr.. Thompson had entered the wardrobe and
bolted the door on the inside doubtless thinking
soon to come out of his hiding place. But be-
fore he could come out he had tainted for want
of air. 1t was almost q miracle that his life was
preserved. Louisville Courier Journal, july 20.

circles, and In a great many minds where in
quiry is silent. This fact, rightfully studied,
will furnish important hints to those who may
be considering how to make a series of lectures
useful as well as successful.
We are far from being convinced that ''Lec-
ture Bureaux" are useful. Doubtless some
thing may be said in their favor; but some of
the objections to them seem to us very strong.
They advertise and seek engagements for many
persons who are unfit 10 be employed in lecture
rooms. Having advertised these persons in
their catalogues and received the stipulated fee,
it follows as a matter of course, that their in
fuence is used to induce committees to employ
them. In this way men are brought before au-
diences, as lecturers, whose poor performances
fail to instruct or entertain anybody, and tend
only TO discourage attendance and bring the
lecture system into disfayor. Lecture Bu-
reaux" are very convenient; but they are, in
fact, altogether too convenient. It appears TO
save SO much time and trouble TO go to one OF
these bureaus and give Its manager the chief
direction in making up a list of lecturers, that
some committees are tempted to take this course
A series of lectures so arranged is necessarily
without settled plan or purpose; the list is
pretty sure to include some of the worthless
lecturers; and the result is not likely TO be a
success. If committees would consider for
themselves what is most likely to be useful in
the communities for which they provide this
kind of entertainment, settle something def
nitey in regard to the topics and general char
acter of the proposed lectures, and then find
men whose ability, knowledge, and culture
qualify them to do successfully what is re-
quired, it would be immaerial how or where
the men should be found.

The city election, in Louisville, Monday, ap.
pears to have had some political significance.
There was a regular Greeloyite democratic
ticket, for which all the regular organs and
agencies OF that party worked with extraordi-
nary zeal. The Courier-Journal described the
opposing "citizens' ticket" as virtually radi-
cal ticket" and said eve can not afford to have
it go abroad that the democratic party has been
beaten in the chief city OF Kentucky" The
"citizens' ticket was supported by republicans
and anti-Greeey democrats; and 1t was elected
by 1000 minority
