$500, 900 in the Argus.
The will of the late Lucius Hopkins. Of
New York, disposes of an estate valued at
sbout 100000, of which the American
Bible Society and the American Tract So
ciety get $4,000 each, and the Trustees OF
Domestic Missions Of the Presbyterian
church of the United States, and the Board
of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian
church $4,000 each
The Democratic majority in Georgia Is IN
the neighborhood of 10000. The New York
| Tribune takes this fact as indicating that not
one Republican in three dared to east his
vote. There are fifty counties in the State
in which the colored population outnum-
bers the white, but they all went Demo
cratic.
So far about Sll 900 has been received at
the First National Bank, at St. Paul, Mimi,
for the benefit of the family Of Mr.. Hey
wood, the murdered cashier Of the North
field Bank, and nine-tenths Of the banks
in the country arc yet to be beard from
The American vile of Senior Romero,
formerly the Mexican Minister at Washing
ton, lately TOOK $40 900 worth of her hus-
bands money and jewelry and eloped with a
newspaper man residing at the city of
Mexico. He too had married fortune and
took the most of it with him.
The campaign in New York is growing
animated. Some three score Republican
meetings are held every day in different parts
of the State, and among the speakers we note
the well-known names Of George William
Curtis, Z. W. SioughtOn, District Attorney
B. X. Phelps, Gen. John Cochrane, DR..
Isaac l. Hayes, Hon. Z. d. Culver, Hon.
Chauneey NJ Depew, ex-Speaker Galusha
A. Grow, and many others. Col. Robert
G. Ingersoll Will shortly take the stump in
this State.
Murat IIals;ead, Of the Cincinnati Com
nsrcial, makes this reply to the grumhlerS
who have found fault with him for support
ing Horace Greeley in 1872, and returning
to the party to work for Gov. Hayes this
year "Onr receipt for destroying the Dem
ocratic party by the election of Greeley was
not tried The dissatisfaction with Grant
ism, which appeared with increased ener-
gies during the second term of that malady,
unfortunately could find no other vent Tor
the time than through the Democratic par
ty, and gave that party the present Congress.
At once the party was in conceit OF itself
again. and there Is uncoiled before the c)un-
try in this campaign the same old serpent. 1t
| isn't our snake 1t i not the brsren serpent
that was lifted up in the wilderness. IL Is
courery rather We are in favor Of brusing
its head We woGli kill it if we could
and if We can't do that We want To scotch 1t,
and keep 1t scotched."
The venerable Prof Tayler Lewis, ol Union

Georgia stood W to 10 counted in a way

majority for Gen Coquitt Of $4,000, and

are sufficient to excite in Mr.. IIldsn's bosom

Il rejoice to see so many young msn in
