The Ne1t Legislature.

The returns from our late West VIZ
gInla election come along slowly, and II
anything depended on the vote II would
take the patience OF Job to await the
result. No wonder the State iR Demo-
cratic. As soon as all the counties are
heard from we shall publish full table
Of the vote as a matter Of record. The
Rgtsttr has already published o list Of
members in the next Legislature, but this
enterprise on tho part Of our neighbor Is
In anticipation Of the expected result In
the various counties and not based upon
actual returns.
The next Legislature Of West Virginia
will contain 5j members Of tho House ot
Delegates and "a members Of the Senate
80 In all. These members will stand,
politically, 70 Democrats, IA Republicans
and Independent Democrats. The Re-
plblcAns will have ten members Of the
House and four Of the Senate. The In
dependent Democrats will have one
member Of the House (5tuart OF Dod-
dridge) and one in the Senate, sherrard Of
Hardy.
This classification Is probably too liber.
al to the Democrats. Harrison county
elected Democrat along with Repub-
ican, Preston county "a Republican
county, elected two, and Upshur elected
one Democrat. Probably Pill these should
be clSssed as Independent Democrats.
The four Republican Senators are
Judge Berkshire, Hon. G. M. Bishop,
Hon. G. F, Scott, and Judge Loomls, four
Of the best men in the State, and worth a
dozen Of the kind ordinarily elected tothe
Legislature.
The counties electing Republican mem.
bers of the Houre are Hancock, /, Mar
shall 2, Tyler /, Pleassnts and Wood 2,
Harrison l, Monougalia 2, and Morgan l.
One Of the three Republicans elected in
Peasants and Woods, who had three ma.
lority, loses his election by the Board ol
Commissioners throwing out several alleg.
ed illegal votes. The state Journal enters
protest against this act in its last issue on
the ground that tho Board had no such
authority, and even if it had it can
be shown that just as many illegal votes
we're cast on the other side.
On the whole the Republican member.
ship in the next Legislature looks little
thin in point oFnumbers. We are glad how.
everthat the material is SO generally good.
After all 1t is quality and not quantity
that is desirable,

SOUTH CAROLINA.

CuARLEsToN, October 23.-Much dis
satisfaction has prevailed Tor weeks past
among the independent Republicans
owing to the fact that the Boards ol
Election Commissioners throughout the
State were composed exclusively oI mem.
oers Of the Chamberlain party, and conse.
quently lear the vote for Greene, the In
dependent Republican candidate, might
not be fairly counted and declared. Gov,
hoses has therefore issued a proclamation
changing the commissioners in every
county, 80 that each board shall be com :
posed OF one regular Republican, one In.

SERIOUS CUTTING ATERAY.-About 4
O'clock last evening serious cutting Of
fray occurred in Henry Schwsrtz's saloon
on Main street between 22d and 23d
streets, Centre Wheeling. Two railroad
men, Frank Edwards and Patrick Gil
boy, the former fireman and the latter
a brakeman on the B s. 0. Road, met ai
this saloon and became involved in a
quarrel. 1t appears that the men had
not been good friends Tor some time, and
upon coming together yesterday hostili-
ties were renewed. They finally came to
blows, and Gilboy had the best Of the
fight. Mr.. Schwartz, the proprietor ol
the saloon, attemptedito separate them,
and while he was thus engaged
Edwards drew his penkniIe and struck
Gilboy several times, cutting him in the
lett breast, the right arm and the right
leg. The cuts are all OF a serious, nature.
Schwartz, while separating the combat
ants, had two Angers Of his lett hand badly
cut. Gilboy was carried TO his boarding
house at Mrs. Fleming's, over Delbrugge'G
store, on Main street, and surgeon called

WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, October 23.-In the tEia
OF Whitley, Harrington and Williams iol
safe burglary conspiracy number Of wit
nesSes were placed under bonds ot $30(
each TO appear from day to day during
the trial. Riddle concluded his address
for the prosecution and the court COM
menced taking the testimony. .
Major Richards, Superintendent Of Po-
lice, being sworn, testified that he frs
met Harrington on this subject on the Isl
Of April last; met him again at his (Har
riugLon's) house on the 231, and was
shown letter Of warning concerning
burglars, and Harrington told him of hil
Tears about It; promised TO send officers
to watch the office. Harrington desired
that only himself, Richards and ClarVot
should watch the Office. While there
Williams called 10 see Harrington, and
sent up his card. Harrington directed
the servant 10 tell Williams to wait. Al
terward went with Harrington 10 the
office TO watch for burglars; secreted
themselves in tho office; heard parties
come into the Office and 90 out again
three times; left the office 10 watch from
some other position; took a position
directly opposite the otflce; saw Q
suspicious looking person leave the same
and 60 across TO the office; saw two per-
SONS come up the street and enter Har.
rington's office; crossed over and heard
them at wOrkin the Office and wanted tC
10 arrest them, but Harrington requested
him to wait until they came out and
then follow them and sec II they went tC
Columbus AlexVnder's house; Harrington
said he had prepared q package and
placed il In the sale and wanted to see II
they took il; thought something serious
was going on, and fearing that the par
ties might escape by the rear way, went
to the police headquarters and got more
policemen and posted them to watch the
rear alley; about one o'clock some one
came out Of the Office and looked up and
down tht street; about ten minutes there
after an explosion occurred in the Office.
again suggested to Harrington that they
should go in arrest the burglars; Harring.
ton still objected. About halt au hour
alter tho explosion two parties came out,
one going down 4 street and the other
holding y bundle started toward 9th street,
Richards said: We followed him through
several streets to tho house Of Columbus
Alexander, arrested the man and took
from him the bundle; all oi US went to
police headquarters Harrington was
quite sick alter our arrival there
and went into the street and
vomitGd freely; during the whole
of the time Of the burglary I saw nothing
that would lead me to suppose that the
burglars were trying 10 conceal them
selves, or wished to do SO. While we
were watching the Office some one came
across from d street, and when on the
pavement directly opposite the Office
shufled his feet vigorously, whether ss q
signal or not could not say. In the bun.
die were some account books, spoons, etc.
Court adjourned.
In the Supreme Court to day Attorney
General Williams presented the proceed
ings Of the bar in relation 10 the death Of
the late Judge Curtis, which were en-
tered upon the records, and tho court
