kU kLCN N CUMBERLAND COUNTY
On Saturday night ". !. Sadler, the Re-
publican candidate for Judge Of the Courts,
and NJ. F. Thompson, Republican, candi-
date for District Attorney in Cumberland
county, were out driving, and stopped at
Syartz's tavern at Mechanicburg, taking
supper and feeding their horses there.
During the meal the landlord was annoyed
very much by the dogs in the stable-yard,
but did not imagine the vil!ainy then being
parpetratod. The JurS Tor HrtsD ,clich faS-
ta u.c ,hon Gad 1rhjch, being rcmOred, rco-
Fere9 he ocouponts q tic carriage totally

some ar.lsal c2Dpcrbend, and the two Re-
publican candidates, after hitching up,
started TO Carlisle, not dreaming that po-
.jtical hate could pu. their lives ia peril in
m Infamous 4 manner. Ga they drove in
tie darkness until She moment when the
shafts should fall. lhc horses raU away, and
what ever fate was reserved FOR them
should Overtake them. When about a
mile and o half from Carlisle the ca!astrO-
phe arranged for them by their political
enemies fell. The shafts dropped on the
horses heels ; they plunged and ran the
carriage was overturned and smashed ;
the gentlemen were flung out; and one is
!imping about home covered with painful
bruises, while the c,hnr lies on his bed hunt

CHARLESTON, Nov. Sit is impossible

i Falling OF IN the Coiorcd Vote.
RICHMOND. Va, Nov. 3.-The whites
to-day have polled an average vote in this
city. but the cOloreI vote has fallen off
greatly. Some Of them voted for Walker,
the Conservative candidate, while good
many voted for Robert y. Paul, colOred,
nominated after the withdrawal of Hon. j.
Amber Smith. The Conservatives are
iubilant. and claim an overwhelming vic
tory. many fixing Walkers majority over
Burgess, Republican, in Richmond at 1900
to 1000 Returns from half the precincts
in the city show Conservative gain Of
15Oover Governor Kemper's vote last No
vember, which vote will be used in making
comparisons. This will doubtless verify
the expectations of the Conservatives.
Governor Kemper's majority was over
LOCO. Struggling returns from precincts
in the Third district show gains for
Walker, although the vote is not so large
Tie Indicotio,,v in the Otter Districts.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. B Returns thus
far from the Congressional districts are
meagle, but Indicate that Walker, Con
servative, in The Third Tucker, Con
servative, in the Sixth Harris, Conscrya-
tive, in tie Seventh Hunton, Conserva-
tive, in the Eighth, and Terry, Cunserva-
tive, in the Ninth, are undoubtedly elected.
Walkers majority in the Third district
will run over $500. lIunton's majority
in the Eighth district, over Barbour, indie
pendent, will reach about 1000 more. 1t
is probable That Sencr. Republican, is re-
elected over Douglas in the First district
The Second district is doubtful, with prOba-
bilitcs in favor Of John GoOde, Jr., Con-
scrYative, over Platt, Republican, present
incumbent, and Norton, icolored,l hide
pendent Hon. W. II. Stowell is reelected
in the Fourth district. In the Fifth dis
trict the contest is close, but tavura bic to
the reelection of Hon. {. y. Thomas.

tive. The election in Richmond was the
most orderly ever known and the best feel

from any portion Of the State. The peo-

wEATHFR-BUsINEs
POLITICAL.
The feeling in political circles is waxing
warm. The reverses that the Republican
party met with in Ohio and Indiana, in
October, is alarming the Republican bodies
in New York. and the hardest possible work
is being done to save the Empire State from
the grasp of she Unsuitable Democracy. In
the city the waters are being vexed fear
fully. Meeting are being held every night,
professions are moving through the streets
every day, and money is being spent Ike
water. Wickham, the Tammany Demo-
cratic nominee for Mayor, is tOIerable de-
cent man, but he has the taint Of Tammany
on him so strong that all the best people
are anxious for his defeat. Ottendorfer.
the anti-Tammany candidate is the pro-
prietoc of the !Stnnts Zeitung, the leading
Democrrtic German paper. Salem II.
Wales, the Republican candidate, is one of
the editors Of the Scientific Americdn.
Doubtless Wickham will be elected, though
Ottendorfcr's candidacy will take n very
large Democratic vote, as he ought. The
decent Democracy will not support Wick
ham, not because Of anything o5jectiOna-
bic. in the man, but because of his sur
roundngs. The good people Of New York
are very properly ayerse to any man who
is backed by the Tammanyites, for Tam
many has but one moving principle plum
der-and piunder is the certain sequence
Of 4 Tammany triumph.
But though Wickham will probably be
elected, it will be by greatly reduced ma
iority, which will help the State ticket in
the city. Gen. Dix has hold upon the
people Of the city, and it is probably that
large share Of the Ot:endorter vote will be
cast for Dix. Let us hope. The election OF
Tilden would be q disaster 10 the whole
country. The elections in Ohio and Indiana
possessed no political Significance, for they
were decided by questions not political in
their nature. But they went TO the country
as Democratic victories, because Democrats
were elected. If New York should elect Il
Democratic Governor, it would put the
Republican party on the track Ill 1876
handicapped, and twice the effort would be
lequirod to achieve success. But we shall
see what we shall see.

Federal Patronage in New Hampshire.

People who prize the purity of elections
have at all times been scandalized by the
reckless effrontery with which the Grant
ring in Washington habitually squanders
the public money to attain its partisan
ends. But Just at the present time, when
the Congressional Committee on Appro-
priatlons is overhauling the expenses of
every department of the Government,
with the ostensible purpose of reducing
| the appropriations for the next fiscal year.
| it is scandalous beyond endurance that
the Treasury of the United States should
be robbed, as it has been robbed of sever
al hundred thousand dollars, to promote
the cause of New Hampshire Republicans
in the elections of next Tuesday A cor
respondent OF the Boston Post, writing
from Portsmouth, shows up as shameless a
prostitution of the Government service In
that city as ever disgraced any administra-
ton. For years no attempt has been made
to conceal the fact that all the best posi-
tons in the Custom House, the Pension
Agency, and the Navy Yard are given t.
the Republican wire workers of Maine and
New Hampshire. 1t is notorious to every
body in Portsmouth that thousand mer

purpose than to vote the Republican ticket
on Tuesday. For performing that service
they will receive from the Treasury al
least 100000, which is but small pro
portion of the annual cost of maintaining
what is officially known as the Portsmouth
Navy Yard, but which is commonly known
in the vicinity as the vote mandatory.
The extracts from the letter of the Post
correspondent which we print elsewhere
give ground for indignation even to people
whose faculties for feeling indignation have
been wearied out by former provo
cation. And Notwithstanding the sapathl
with which the people of New Hampshire
have learned to look upon the abuses prac
tised by the Office holders ring in ports
