vassed, there being contests fixed for hearing
next week. When the returns from the
parishes marked Contested were opened the
Democratic counsel were allowed to be pres
ent. The returns from De Soto parish were
brought in and were contained in one package
sealed with wax. When the seals were broken
by the members of the board, there were found
inside consolidated statement of the votes,
the commissioners statements and the tally
sheets attached to the returns. There were a
large number OF protests and affidavits. The
secretary of the board said the package had
been received on the 18th inst, and such entry
had come by mail. In the course of inspection
it was discovered that one of the protests OF
the supervisors, charging general intimidation
was dated NOV 10Th and sworn to in this city
before commissioner of the Circuit Court.
When called upon to explain how protest
dated Oh the 18th inst. (to-day) could get into a
sealed registered post-office package received
by mail on the 18th inst, the secretary said he
had received two packages He was detected
by one of the Democratic counsel present in
the act OF making another entry in his book Of
two packages received. After some delay au
other package was produced, and found tc
contain consolidated statement of the votes
and commissioners returns, but no protests OF
afidavits The members of the board were
unable to explain the matter, and Senator
Sherman of the Republican visiting committee
remarked that there was no use to disguise thu
fact that the returns had been opened and the
protests inserted after the package of returns
had been received. The affair created quite
sensation among the members of the commit
tees present. The members of the Democratic
committees present were very Out-spoken in The
opinion that fraud had been perpetrated, ant
the Republicans did not deny that the affair
had very peculiar aspect

CONCORD, Nov. 26.-David Magoon, the
Raymond wife poisoner, who was committed to
state prison during the present month on SEN
tence of 80 years by the Supreme Court, at

During his stay in jail at Portsmouth, he
fegned sickness, but in about week after his
committal to state prison he begged pc Emission
to 60 into the shop to work with the other con-
vcts. This was granted and he performed his
regular work, exhibiting no signs of illness
till Saturday morning last when he failed to
appear in line as the convcts were marching
out at O'Clock in the morning He was then
found lying on the floor of his cell on his face
unconscious. He was taken to the hospital
10 o'clock in the afternoon. During upcon-
sciouspess his pulse and heart beat perfectly
regular and his apparent sickness amounted to
nothing. he remained in the hospital, taking
the regular prison supper. Nothing was heard
from him during the night. Ats o'clock this
morning he ate the regular Sunday morning
breakfast of baked beans and brown bread with
voracious appetite. At five minutes before 8
portion of the prisoners in the hospital were
taken out to attend the chapel service,
leaving Magoon on his bed all right At ten
minutes past the Waterman found him with
his body lying across the bed, his hands on the
floor en- either side of his night bucket whic h
was partially filed with water. His bead was
in the bucket submerged in water and when

from an attempt to kill himself He was 81
years old. His remains are to be sent home to-
morrow.

The Tammany Ring.

Woodward to Make a Clean Breast OF
Hts transactions.
NEW YORK, Nov 25.-The Tribune has the
following:
1t was intimated at the time of the arrest of
Gilbert A. Woodward, that his coming back to
this country, his apprehension at Chicago, his
return to this city and confinement in the
Tombs, were simply preliminary to full con-
fession on his part Of the entire transactions of
the ring and all its adherents.
All the circumstances of arrest-the ease
with which it was effected, the willingness with
which Woodward came to this city and the
quiet satisfaction with which he has endured
his confinement in prison, confirmed the sus.
plcion that his return was pre-arranged. Be-
yond doubt Mr. Woodward has resolved that it
is the only safe course open to him, to reveal
oil he knows relative to the frauds against the
county and state, not only in the matter of
false vouchers for building the Court House,
but in the fraudulent election of scores of state
legislative, county and city officers, many of
whom retain the positions thus corrupty
gained, and many others of whom have since
been returned to office. His revelations will
involve many Republicans, as we'll as Demo-
cratic officials, and the particulars of the
dividend of funds raised in the Court House
frauds will involve scores of persons who have
been hitherto unsupported.

The latter made run, winning the game on

1t is now believed here that the railroad war is yr-

the West and ocean railroad mileage is conceded,
and the only remaining question is whether Balti-
more and Philadelphia should have any advantage
over New York On local fIeights.
Chicago dispatches say Mr.. Vanderbilt has practi-
cay carried his point. He has obstinatey contend
ed tor common rate from Chicago to ali seaboard
points. The compromise agreed upon is that the
same rate shall be charged by all the lines for all ex-
port gran but that concession is made in favor of
the Baltimore in the rate of local grain This is a
victory for Mr.. Vanderbilt, for the reason that d.
vision OF local and export shipment at the seaboard
is impracticable.
