THE RESULT

The result of the elections OF the
4th instant are unexpectedly and UNI
precedently favorable to the Demo
cratic party in every State where
they were held. The Demo
cratic soul has not had such an out
pouring of glorious and unexpected
victories since the days of "A Sure
ly the good time coming, and so
ardently hoped for, is about to come
in.
Without going into special exulta-
ton over the unexpected result. we
briefly give a summary of the returns
80 far as heard from:
N NEW YORK,
which gave Grant a majority Of 2o,-
900 one year ago, and elected Rad
ical Governor, now gives the Demo
Gratis between 10000 and 10000 ma
jority, and elects Sunset Cox to Con-
gress. The New York Express is ju
bilant and calls it a political revolu-
ton. 1t says the State of New York
is Democratic, and the County of
New York is also Democratic, and
roth results, we trust, will prove to
the advantage of the people Of the
State, Of the city and the whole
country ut large. The Associated
Press returns place the city delega-
ton to the Assembly tia Tammany,
six Republican and one Apollo Hall,
four Democratic Senators and one
Republican. S. S. Cox's majority
for Congress in James Brooks old
district is 1929.
IN VIRGINIA.
in whose Executive Chair q Repub-
lican now sits, elected there by 49,
900 majority-gives Kemper, Dem
ocrat, 10000 majority, gives Rich
mond a Democratic municipal gov
eminent, and insures the election Of
a Democratic Senator, by gaining q
decisive majority in the Legislature.
IN MASSACHUSETTS,,
always the hot-bed of Radicalism,
Gen. Banks, who quit the Republi-
can party when Greeley was nomi-
mated, beats the regular Radical
nominee for Congress by a large
vote; and the majority of Washburn,
for Governor, is reduced fully one
half. Banks reelection is q decided
triumph for the anti-Grant party.
IN WISCONSIN,
always a strong hold Of Radicalism,
the result is in doubt. Complete re-
turns give $500 Democratic MAORI
ty, but Washburne' organ claims
the State for Washburne. The
Democrats gain S votes in the Leg
islature, and the Radical majority OF
twenty weight thousand is almost en-
tirely wiped out.
IN ILLINOIS,
the peoples ticket union of Demo
Gratis and Grangers) beat the Radi-
cal ticket by 1000 to 1000 votes,
and the Republicans lose largely in
all sections of the State.
IN MARYLAND,
the Democrats sweep the field, and
hold the old State steady with her
Democratic mornings.
IN MICHIGAN,
Comstock, Democrat, is elected to
Congress from the 9th district, by
800 majority. The majority for Por-
ter, Republican, in this district. in
1872, was $500.
IN KANGAS,
a Kansas City dispatch to the Tri-
bune says the opposition carried tho
State and an anti-monopoly Legis.
lature is chosen.
IN NEW JERSEY,
the Republicans have the legislature,
but the Democrats have made heavy
gains.

Capt. Joseph Jaques, Superintendent
E. Z. !. & G. r. R.:
DEAR SIR.-On behalf of the
engineers, fremen, machinists. and
hlacksmiths, for the sake of settling
the present unfortunate difference
between the railroad authorities and
their employees, thereby clogging
the wheels of commerce and threat
ening disaster not only to those per-
sonally interested but to the entire
community, we hereby agree to re-
sumo work at The proposed reduction
provided you will guarantee to put
our wages back to the former price
just as soon as the earnings of the
road will justify you in doing so. or
in other words, the earnings of the
road are equal to what they were
before the necessity compelled re.
duction. n. LONG,

it was not thought of before. The

the written communications which
appear above had passed, the Off
GERS and directors of the road with
few citizens celebrated the occasion
by a quiet oyster party at Mr.. Elf

ployees could not participate. but
numbers of them afterwards visited
the same place by invitation of the
citizens and took oysters and lunch.'

THE LAST ATROCITY.
Ehe MurdererO of the Immigrant Family
Near Rock Creek, Arkansas. Ar
Tested-LynehingS Suggested.

LITTLE ROCK, December 7.-Further partic-
ulars of the tragedy referred to in last nights
dispatch have come TO light. The murdered
party consisted Of a family Of one man, his
wife and child, about two years old. The
man was about twenty-five and the woman
about twenty-five. They passed through this
city on the twenty fourth of November, on
their way to Texas, arriving at Rock Creek,
seven miles out from this city, about
twelve o'clock on that day. The water
was very high, and they took a side
road leading Off from the main road, striking
the creek about half mile above the regular
crossing. At this point the man was shot
through the head, the woman and child had
their skulls crushed with club, and the
bodies were thrown into the creek. The
bodies of the man and woman were found on
Sunday, the child was found last night. All
three of the bodies were brought to this city
to-day. The wagon and team of four mules
was found in the possession OF colOTed
short distance from the scene of the
tragedy. Failing 10 give any good account of
how he came into possession OF il, he was ar
rested, and the evidence developed at the
cOroner's inquest pointed to him as the guilty
party. The jury found him guilty, and he was
sent TO jail to await the action of the grand
Garish, ROI!a, Missouri. No clue has yet been
obtained as to the names of the murdered
party. Great Indignation is expressed at the
tragedy, and there is some talk of ly nching
the negro.
From papers and clothing found at the
house of the negro Medlock, arrested on the
charge of numbering the family referred to in
last nights dispatches, there remains no
doubt that the negro committed the deed
The boxes and clothing, everything, in fact
that belonged to the Iamily, were found I'M
the negro's house. On the boxes were marks
OF blood, as well as on other articles. A paper.
found shows the name or the murdered mar
to have been George W. Ritcheson, or Rich
ardson, or J. J. RitchesOn, and that
he came from near ROlla, Missouri. One pa
per showed that ne lived in Gasconade coun
ty Missouri. One box was marked q. W. Rs
Cuba, Missouri: another, OWenSVille, Nilsson
ri. Only the man, his wife and child have
been found. II is thought there was another
child not yet found. The sheriff at Rolla has
been telegraphed to find out If such family
recently resided in that county. An album OF
pictures was found, most Of them being taken
by J. A. Fullerton, Rolla, Missouri. one is o
Is the name Lucy Flinniken. Another is the
picture of young man named VIM. L. Byles.
