MINNESOTA.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. l0.-Very nearly
complete returns Of the late elections in
this State show that the Republican tick
ct Is elected by over 5000 majority. :
Dunnell, Republican. for Congress, in the
First district is elected by 3,40l majority.
w. s. King, Republican, for Congress in
the Third district has z, 81 majority with
four precincts to hear from. In the Sec
ond district the result is still uncertain
The straight Republican candidate fol
Congress has so far 207 majority, and il
probably elected, but it is possible that
subseouent returns may defeat him and
elect E. st. John Cox. The Legislature
is Republican by twenty-seven majority
on Joint ballot, but in the count are in
cluded several independent Republicans
and anti-monopolists, whose votesare un'
certain.

The Cleveland Herald Rep has made
a close analysis of the vote cast on the
second Tuesday of October in Ohio as
compared with previous elections. In
conclusion it says:
"The Democrats made their greatest
gains of over 81 per cent. in the six
counties on the Western Reserve with
out cities; next come the six agricultural
counties south of the Reserve, liz. In
the other groups of counties they made
very slight gains on the vote Of 1874, the
largest being /. the city counties, but
not enough to make an appreciable per-
centage. In the Western Re erve as a
whole they held their own, and in the
Little Miami Valley lost a little over 4
per cent"
This shows that it was not the liquor
question which contributed largely to
the Democratic success. We gained
much less in the cities, where the liquor
elemen; was predominant, than in the
county where it had but little force

THERE is general rejoicing in Massa-
chusetts over the crushing defeat of the
bigoted, prohigate, arrogant and venom
GUS clilues into the control Of which the
Republican party had passed. Those
clidues or rings were the result of the as
sured power of the caucus system. Mas
sachusetts was never more Republican
than in this day Of Democratic triumph
but the people had sense of weariness
and disgust in seeing all sorts of rascality
cloaked as Republican, and called sacred

Mr.. CHARLES P. THOMPSON, Of Glou-
cester, Massachusetts,, the man who beat
Ben. Butler, made speech the night
before the election at Newburyport. A
report of the speech appears in the Bos-
ton Herald That which he said on the
financial questions may be of interest to
our readers;
1T was a question whether the coun-
try should have depreciable currency
or hard money basis. Had the wal
been conducted on a specie, basis. the
debt ofthe country would only have been
half as great as it now is The resort tc
qreenbacks was intended only as a TEN.
porary measure, and it was supposed
that a return to the old basis would b'
made as soon as possible after the close
ofthe war The longer such a change
IS deferred, the more difficult will be th'
return to specie payment lfyou issu'
money to-day you will want more to
morrow. and still more the next day, ant
soon people will go to market with thel
money basket and return with their pro
visions in their pockets"

ACCORDING to N. Y. Tribunes Wash
inVton correspondent, the President talks
more freely of the third term than before,
and repudiates the whole attempt to get
up a third term issue as a colossal joke.
The same correspondent says;
The President, in conversation with his
friends, ascribes as one of the principal
causes of the late Republican defeat, the
Civil Rights bill, the social equality fea.
tures of which he regards as distastetnl
TO the whole people Of the country. His
conversation leaves little doubt Of his
purpose to veto the bill if the House
should undertake to pass it at the nexi
session. He regards the reverses as only
Temporary, and believes that the present
Congress can do much before the 4th oi
March TO win back the confidence Of the
people. He does not look upon the re
sult of the election as in any sense cen
sure upon his acts.
Oh, no, "his acts" are altogether lovell
and very popular His brOther-in-lav

THERE is general stir among business
men over the belief that the elections
promise revival Of business The de-
cline in Governments with which the
Administration orators threatened us in
case of Democratic successes seems to
have been postponed, and the majority
of business men now appear to believe
that the endof uncertainty and the hepe
of change for the better in financial
legislation should lead to a general re-
vival. The belief in such a thing is
likely to be at least half the battle.-Ex

LATE advices from England indicate
that the iron trade is slowly working to
the point Of improvement; and as the
iron interests Of our own and other coun-
tries have lately been under the same
cloud as those of Great Britain, there are
reasonable grounds for hope that the
causes which are now operating encour-
agingly there, will presently place oul
own trade in a fair way of recovery and
prosperity.

GERMANY
BRUTAL AND MYSTERIOUS MUIR
DER.

CINCINNATI, Nov. "a most brutal, ra-
voting and mysterious murder was conl-
mitted at the tannery Of Henry FreiberG
on Livingstone street, some time between
ten o'clock last night and daylight this
morning. One of the workmen went 30
the tannery this morning and looking
into the boiler furnace observed upon
the halfconsumed feed the body Ofa man,
arms and legs burned off. Herman
Schilling, q workman at the tannery who
slept there at night, was missed. The
body was extracted and identified as that
of Schilling. In the stable were signs OF
A desperate encounter A bloody pitch
fork iay on the ground and blood stains
formed trail to the furnace in the tan
merry. Within the enclosure in which
the stable was located three fierce magtihB
were running loose. From this and other
circumstances it was inferred that the
burglars must be perfectly familiar with
the premises as well as the habits OF the
murdered man. Suspicious settled on
three men, Andrew Egner, Fred Egner,
his son, and George Rufer, discharged
employees of the tannery. Persons tes-
tilted to hearing threats Of Schillings
life from all three of these men. Rufer
was discharged yesterday evening and
was familiar with the premises Egner
and son kept beer saloon and cooper
shop next to the tannery and were often
in and out of the latter place.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 10.-Young Egner
has made full confession, duplicating
himself, his father and George Rufer in
the murder of Herman Schilling He
says George Rufer proposed the murder
on Saturday night, in his fathers bar
room, and the three hid in the tan yard,
waiting halfan hour before Schilling came
J in. He lit lamp and went into the stable
3 to groom the horse; they followed him
; and George Rufer struck him several
! times with stick, knocking him down
8 twice. Then his fathertoOk a five-pronged
9 9 fork and stabbed Schilling two or threc
4 times in the bowels with it, and also In
5 the leg. This killed him. Rufer dragged
|; the body into the yard and proposed x
!. put it into the vat but said they had
. better put him in the furnace so he could
" not be found. This was done and theJ
o all went home. This confession wa
:, made TO Coroner Maley tonight, reduceC
Sc to writing and signed in the presence o

THE INTERNATIONAL SWNDLE

Arrest of Doctor William Parker, Of Con-
nellsriHe-He is Committed TO our Jail
A Remarkable Ease.
United States Commissioner McCan-
dless last evening committed to jail DR.
William Parker, Of Connellsville, on
charge of using the United States mails
to collect money under false pretenses.
The strange part Of this arrest is the fact,
that on Saturday, the cable dispatches
announced the arrest in London of DIR.
William Parker, of Connellsville, Pa, for
attempting to defraud Peter Taylor, M.
p, by stating that he Parker had paid
the funeral expenses Of a relation OF Tay-
lor's, who died some time previous at
Connellsville.
Detective Meyers of Washington City
noticing this item, and recollecting that
letter of inquiry had been received at
the Postofice Of that place, concerning a
draft transmitted from England to Par
ker, at once placed himself in communi-
cation with the Postmaster at Connells-
vile, and ascertained the following facts:
The letter mailed in September had
been called for, and there were two 9TH
ers for the same address. A few hours
after the Washington telegram was re-
ceived, the person who had taken out the
first Parker letter called for the other two.
He was told Of the Washington telegram.
and thereon he said the second and third
letters were not for him. Meyers being
appraised Of the incident came on to
Connellsville and read the letters. One
of them was from Frederick Heath, NJ
P. London, and the other from Walter
De Walten, Bishops Hill, Staunton, Eng
land, the latter enclosing a draft for h2
De Walten's epistle contained an expires
sion of thanks 10 "Dr. Parker" for kind
ness shown by Parker to wayward Sol
Of De Walten's, supposed to be in Con
nellsville. Mr.. Heath's letter advised
Parker that he lHeath) had no knowl
; edge of a certain relative who, Parke
had written to him (Heath), was at Con
a nellsville in INDECENT circumstances.
; The detective then came here and vi:
. tied Connellsville, where he found Dl
g Parker making his living teaching short
3 hand writing He was brought to tn
city and, as stated, committed for heal

The prisoner is tall man, well bull
and wears spectacles. He is quite in

master at Washington says he was ther
for three or four months this year, an
