The Freedmen's Bank.
Yesterday and to-day the Freedmen's Bank
was crowded with resident colored persons
drawing their portion of the dividend Of 20 per
cent which is nearly $500, 900, the liabilities of
the bank being upwards of $3,000,000. There
were 5000 depositors for amounts Of less than a

Various Matters.

postmaster at Merrideu. Conn.,, vice l. r. Hall
resigned.
Postmaster Gen. Jewell says the removal of
the postmaster at Ogden, Utah, was not in
consequequen, &c of his religious belief, but for
reasons, among which was the fact that the
Iowa and Nebraska congressional delegations
have for year past been urging the appoint:

The sherman, Texas, Connagratiou.

GALVESTON, Nov 2-The fire at Sherman,
Texas, yesterday. was first discovered in the
St. Cloud Hotel. The strong southwest wind
swept the fire across the street into row of
frame buildings used as offices. and then ragged
on both sides of the street, and destroyed eve
rything as far north and including the new post
Office building On Houston street, on the
south side of the square the flames spread so
rapidly that but few goods were saved. The
post Office and contents and every printing
Office are burned. Sixty-fve places of business
are burned, aad some thirty families are home

Mississippi, Virginia and Mary
land Democratic.

Elections took place yesterday in ten states
as follows: Massachusetts. New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
Mississippi, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kau-
sas. Elections of county officers took place in
Illinois and municipal elections in Michigan.
The returns below indicate sweeping Re-
publican triumph in all Of the states north Of
the old Mason and Dixon line.
In New York the Republicans have achieved
an unexpected and most brilliant victory. Not
only has the insolent Tammany organization,
which assumed to control the Democracy of the
nation been smitten hip and thigh, in its own
stronghold, New York city, but the Democratic
majority of $1,000 in 1874 in the state of New
York has been swept away, and the Republic
can state ticket elected, with Legisla ture of
the same stripe. This result would seem to
snuff out Gov. Tilden as Presidential candi-
date or put him in the second row of the seats
of candidature.
New Jersey swings into the line Of Republic
can states, though there was no general ticket
by which the Republican majority can be de-
termined.
The returns from Pennsylvania indicate the
success of the Republican state ticket.
Wisconsin has had enough of Taylor and
Democratic reform and swings back to its old
place as a Republican state.
Massachusetts has not done 50 we'll as was
expected. but Mr.. Rice Is elected by plurality
of several Thousands, and the Lesislat ure is
overwhelmingly Republican.
Scattering returns from Minnesota indicate
the usual Republican triumph.
Mississippi goes Democratic. The majority
is estimated at 10000, with Democratic Leg
islature.
My Maryland takes the rebel Democracy
straight as usual.
