CLARKsBURG, w. VA, November, 4
1S76.-In a speech at the Democratic
meeting held at the Court House in this
place last evening, Hon Charles J. Faulk-
ner, member of the present National House
of Representatives, gave utterance to some
remarkably revolutionary sentiments. He
declared that if South Carolina Louisiana
and Florida were carried for the Radical
party by the means now being used by
the Government, the House of Representa-
tives would refuse to count the votes of
those States, and throw them out. He and
his friend and colleague, here, Colonel
Wilson, would see that this was done. If
it should be necessary, he would lay down
his life to secure this result.

Special Dispatch to The Ncc- York Times
BALTIMORE, Nov. 10-For three days
the city has been in state of feverish ex-
element, and around the newspaper Offices
and political head quarters there have been
gathered such tumultuous crowds as were
only seen on the 10Th of April, 1861. The
Democrats have held control of every thing,
and their throngs of roughs and strikers
have made pandemonium of day and night
The streets in the centre of the city have
been impossible and decent females have
hardly dared to venture out. Cheers for
Tilden and JEFF Davis were mingled with
blasphemous curses on Hayes and the Re-
publicans, and every now and then the
genuine rebel yell could be heard raising
above all the din. The excitement has been
kept up from earl y morning far into the be-
ginning of the next. AS the confidence of
the Democrats sank under the reversal Of
the prospects of Tilden's election, they grew
more turbulent and riotous, and late to-
night there is no abatement of the disOr-
der. Democratic clubs have been parading
the streets singing campaign songs and
blocking up the highways. The scenes
that have occurred have been dsagrceful in
the extreme, and all good citizens feel humi-
lated. The mob is principally made up of
the same roughs who carried the elections
in Baltimore, before the war, with the knife
and pistol, and who have gravitated over
to the Democracy as the stronger party in
local politics. Being plentifulIy supplied
with money by the leaders, in payment for
their dirty work on election day, they have
maintained their enthusiasm on, liquor, and
by night have made roaring, howling
naniacs of themselves
At an early hour this morning a gang of
them saluted the american office with the
Bonnie Blue Flag" Dixie" and other
Confederate songs. The supposed election
of Tilden was hailed here as Confederate
success, and threats can everywhere be
heard on the streets that if he is not given
a majority of the Electoral College, there
will be a new rebellion, or revolution, as
they call it. They claim that South Caro-
Llama, can only be counted for Hayes by
the Returning Boards multiplying the will
of the people, and that the Democrats will
declare war before they will allow Hayes,
to take his seat on the votes of those two
States. This wild and foolish talk can be
heard at the Democratic headquarters and
among the mob on the streets, and it does
not seem to be entirely whisky valor The
Democrats have twice made preparations
since Tuesday for jubilation meeting, but
have each time concluded that they had
better not hurrah until they were certain
of the result By keeping the whole Police
force on duty, night and day, any serious
trouble has been prevented. There has
been great deal Of scuffiing and knocking
down among intoxicated Democrats, but
the Republicans have kept out of the way
and studiously avoided collision, so that
the Democrats have had all the fighting to
themselves.
An instance of Democratic treachery in
the Sixth Congressional District has come
to light. -Four counties of the District
were solidly Republican, and combined,
gave 739 majority for McComas The re-
naming county Montgomery is Demo
cratic and the Democrats held back the
of its vote until they dis
covered what was necessary to overcome
the outside Republican majority. Then
they counted up 755 majority for their
candidate, Walsh, in Montgomery, and
so claim his election, while McComas is un-
doubtedly elected on an honest count.
