The ELECTIONS.

On Tuesday last general elections
were held in several states, North,
South, East and West, and for the
first time since the war, the day
passed Off without a riot or row
of any consequence, in any portion
Of the Union. The democracy, as
ifgathering renewed hope and cour-
age at their recent victory in Ohio,
have again come to the front hand.
somely in several important states
and have made large gains in all OF
them. The republican party has
elected Ames, its candidate in Mis-
sissippi, defeating Alcorn by ten or
fifteen thousand majority. They
have also carried several northern
and western states, but not with
their accustomed maioritics. The
most significant thing in the returns
is the success of what is called "Thc
Farmers Movement" which has
played an Important part in every
State North and West, and which
has developed n strength that was
not dreamed Of by those who have
not been watching it most closely.
Now York city and State have gone
democratic, the latter by about 10,
900 majority. Boston has also gone
democratic, though CASTOR was beat
en- for the govern orship Of the state,
From Little Rock we learn that the
Republicans have elected their en-
tire ticket. The same is the case
at Helena. The returns from other
parts of the state are not yet in.
We will be able in our next issue,
we hope, to present full tabulated
statement Of the result.

A Sheriff Killed The murderer
Hung by a Mob.

HuMDoLr Tenn, November s.
At Ripley, Saturday afternoon,
Sheriff 5. A. Alsabrook took pis-
tol trcm a railroad laborer named
Jeff. Baker, who was drinking and
c, c,cating disturbance. Baker
then drew another pistol and fired,
the ball hitting Alsabrook in tho
neck, causing his death in few
minutes. About three o'clock in
the night a mob took Baker from
the Jail, and carrying him to the
cemetery hung him. They then
riddled his body with sixty-threc
bullets. Baker took his fate cool
ly, telling the mob to be in no
hurry. as he would tic the rope
around his neck.

STATE NEWS.

The Clarksville Enterprise re-
lates the following:
"Last Tuesday morning two
prisoners made their escape Theo.
Orr, charged with an attempt to
commit murder, and one Gibson
convicted OF burglary aud sentenced
to the state prison for eight years.
The iallor turued the prisoners ont
in the yard to warm themselves,
and took n light and went into the
prison $50 called) and found that
the prisoners had burned the wall,
He called to the guard on the ont.
side to come and see what they had
been doing. The guard went in to
look and Theo. Orr locked them in
and he and Gibson sloped. The
court very properly locked the
guards up in their stead and if he
had put the sheriff in with them,
the people generally would have
said amen TO it.
THE Little Rock Gazette speak.
ing of last Tuesdays election says
1T would be as great farce as
yesterdays election to designate it
otherwise than fraud. 1t was
one of the worst ever yet perpetra-
ted in the state. The city judges
paid no attention to any registra-
lion, either old or new, but permit
ted everybody to vote, and IN many
instances Without question. Men
were MARCHED from one ward to
another, and voted early and often,
1t seems lonley gave an opinion
that every one who would swear he
was qualified clector was entitled
to vote, without regard TO any reg
istraton.
And thus by fraud and villainy
are we again placed at the mercy
OF the ring for another two years

We are happy to announce that
the fever has continued to abate in
Mcmphis since our last Issue, and
Thursday mornings Appeal at last
announces the fact that no new cases
were reported on the previous day.
OF the one hundred and seventy
eight cases reported Of those now
i'll with tho fever, ninety four are
eonvalescent, leaving but eighty
four that are at all doubtful. "This'
continues the Appeal, SIS a most
gratifying exhibit, and proves that
we are ut last in n fair way to be
freed OF the scourge. Thank God,
we say most sincerely and devoutlv
The deaths yesterday, according to
the mortuary report elsewhere pub
lished, were only four from yellow
fever, three from other causes, and
seven altogether. In view Of these
facts we uIga cur people to return
home and resume their duties.
They may be assured of Il heartfelt
welcome. We want to see our
streets resume their wonted life,
and we anxiously desire that the
stream of business shall again flow
deep and strong in lis usual chan
nels, and TO see country customers
thronging the stores of our mer-
chants. Memphis has suffered
much. Every man who prctends

preston Of sensoless opposition 10
the introduction of strangers as
settlers amongst us. If this werc
the real signiiication of the term
it would certainly be Objectionable
enough, and would argue that the
suflorings of the south had been
sufficient Y great TO unseat reason
and produce complete stupefaction.
What we want above all things on
earth, rs n people, is immigration.
We haze the most truitinl country
on the globe. We have climate
so mild and genial that systematic
industry may call for q perennial
harvest. The honest heart, the
clear head, and the strong arm OF
our western brethren is precisely
what we need. Our whole country
from the Potomac to the Rio Grand,
stands ready to welcome them,
coming in spirit OF traternal love.
and with Il sincere purpose to aid
in the development of those un-
told treasures WHICH we possess.
The late unhappy civil war in
this country loft at its termination
the social equilibrium so much dis
uirbed that the emotional part OF
our Datures-ths passions--havc
been pushed forward to an undue
prominence in the regulation Qi
the conduct and bearing OF the
different sections towards each 9TH
er, Men haze been feeling too
much and thinking too llitIc, and ii
is probable that so long as this con
dition of things shall last, we shall
not be able to make our northern
| friends understand our cause Of
complaint in regard to that gly
class known as carpet baQgess.
The dispasslonate student OF hui
NAMES would, however, find no
more difficulty in classifying and
describing carpet baggcr than
would the naturalist in describing
tadpole.
\ carpet bagger is nothing more
nor less than human maggot-- he
is the spontaneous outgrowth OF
corruption in human society. His
moral nature is the creature of de-
cay. His whole character is built
up out of the elements Of corrup-
tion, and, like the &A-got in rot
ting cheese, he feeds upon and des-
troys whatever of healthy matter
he finds remaining amid the gener
al destruction. From this dctini-
ton it appears plainly enough that
the carpet bagger is not the cause
OF our troubles He is the out |
growth of those troubles.
The presence OF carpet baggors
in such numbers all over the south !
ought sufficiently to demonstrate
10 our northern brethren the dread !
tul condition of affairs with us, and
ough! 10 start a serious inquiry As
TO thu cause. When that inquiry
commences, the answer is at hand.
The untriendly aud predjudic9d
course Of northern politicians since
the war; ; the complete overthrow
of free institutions in these south
ern states} the use Of the bayonet
to arrest the exercise of local self
government; ; the SUPPORT of teder-
al Judges in dispensing state !egisla.
lures, have finally extinguisbcd
the life of the body polite, aud, rs
the natural result, we have devcl-
opsd the carpet bagger, who sits
by force in all the high places Of
statc-lords it over our people,
both black and white, as govern
ors, judges, legislators, and revels
amid the ruin and decay of princi.

The past week has exhibited Il fur
;hev abatement in the epidemic in
every respect. The presence oflhe
ice and frost on two mornings dur
ing the week gives promise OF ITS
entire abatement as an epidemic IN
in the course of short time. We
look for sporadic eases, however
for the next month or two, and, il
our refugees return too soon, anoth-
er outbreak in an epidemic form.
Let them keep away with their
families until properly notified. In
the meantime they can visit us with
impunity in the day time, provided
they keep out Of the houses and
stores that have not been properly
ventilated. The city properis prct-
ty well clear of the lever, but there
is considerable oft in the outskirts.
The interments for the past week
ending Wednesday night, were thir-
ty against thirty-six Tor the week
previous; of these five were black,
against seven for the week previ-
Gus. The total interments since

All of our readers were of course
present at this fair, or have read pretty
full accounts of it in the papers, so that
we do not need to give much space to
the subject. 1t was complete success,
so far, at least, as the attendance of the
people was concerned, and the pecu-
mary results to the managers are con-
cerned, and it is but justice to say that
in most departments the exhibition was
a very good ore, so that majority of the
spectators were no doubt well satisfied.
There was also less occasion for COM
plant, than formerly, of the manage
ment, both of the fair and the railroads,
but still there is much room for inn
provement, and on the part of exhibi-
tors there was very much complaint in
regard to the want of fitness and dill
gence on the part of the awarding COM
mittees. If some better mode of select
ing the judges, and securing their atten-
dance is not adopted hereafter the num-
Der of exhibitors will rapidly diminish.

State Fair and found it an improvement
