THE SITUATION.

The situation, in relation to the elec-
ton, last evening, as given in cur st.
Paul dispatches will be found below.
It should be remembered, however, that
these Louisiana dispatches are entirely
through Democratic sources. The Re-
publican contradictory claims are not
yet in. We still believe that Hayes is
elected. We quote our telegram:
Continued contradictory reports leave
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana
in. doubt, and the Presidential election
undecided. The present situation is as
foilews: The South Carolina canvassing
board, under the direction of the Su
preme Court. aggregated county returns
showing q majority Of 230 to 1888 for
the Hayes electors. The Democrats
protest against errors and omissions by
the county canvassers, and the Supreme
Court has yet to pass on the questions
whether the canvassing board may cor:
rect county returns and reject informal
or illegal returns, or consider charges
of frauds in election or, returns. Wade

Ending the Indian War.

In answer to General Sheridan's dis
patch of Friday last, announcing the
Indian surrender to Col. Miles, General
w. T. Sherman sent the following reply:
Your dispatch of yesterday is receiv-
ed, and I congratulate you and all con-
cerned on the prospect of closing this
Sioux war at this critical point. Gen
eral Miles has displayed his usual earn
estness and energy, and 1hope he will
crown his success by capturing or kill
ing Sitting Bull and his remnant of
outlaws. I infer that General Hazen
has reached Fort Peck, and it may be
that his presence there will assist Gen.
Miles materially in his pursuit. Should
General Crook be as successful with
Crazy Horse; and five could collect all
the Sioux on the Mississippi river as
near Fort Randall as possible. disarm-
ed and dismounted, it would reduce it.
self to a simple question Of feeding
them till they learn to raise some food
for themselves. Meantime miners and
settlers will fill up north Of Laramie
and about the Black Hills, so that these
troublesome Indians would be hemmed
in and would gradually become like
those in Minnesota.

Crape.Gathering Damsels.

Gfape.(Iat0erlnS Damsels.
The war correspondent OF the Lon
don Telegraph writes: "A"prettier
sight presently came beneath my no.
tice, one forming a stranger contrast
to the heavy saddening spectacle l had
lately witnessed. Il have mentioned
the vineyards of Turkey and Sertia.
Those of the last-named country have,
wherever we have gone, been very eff,
fectually cleared of whatever grapes
they ooasted; but in Turkey the. har.
vest has now come, and as in the times
when Horatius kept the bridge Sin the
brave days Of DID, so new the girls of
the country have to gather the vintage.
The sres have had to drive the wagons
of grain, forage and ammunition to the
army; have had to take back into Nisch
the wounded soldiers who have fallen
in the fight; have been told off to bury
the dead out of the sight of the living,
and aid in moving the tents and ma
terial Of the army. Thus to tsiesa
young maidens has been entrusted tbs
task of gathering in the wheat and
barley, and TO them also has fallen the
labor Of bringing in the grapes. Isup-
pose that even in better times this has
been their work, for the harvest of the
vineyard has many pretty custom
connected with it which surely cannot
be the outgrowth of a devastating war.
1t is when the grapes are purple or
transparent that the Bulgarian damsel
dops new attire, plaits her hair with
gaudy ribbons, fastenes to her head
dress pieces of gold if she be rich, or
copper if she be poorer, and sallies forth
to pluck the rich fruit. We met a lit
tie procession of these youthful danes
going out to the vineyard on our way
to Nisch. Seated in the rough wagons
of the country, with baskets on their
arms, gay in bright dresses and radiant
with smiles, they were being slowly
drawn by bullocks, which, being lazily
attended by boyish drivers, rolled first
to one side and then to the other of the
rough, badly-made road. Every now
and then one of the party would break
out into snatches of song, and then
there would be peal Of laughter, SO
careless were they of the passing hour.
To one just fresh from the horrors OF
war it was strange TO see such merri.
ment so close to so much devastation
and misery"

Corr espondence Bismarck TRIBDNE:
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.$-Since my las,
writing have been iun2eting around:
as it we're, and have been to New York
City. The town is overfowing with
visitors, as every centennial sight soer
feels in duly bound to visit New York
and Washington after doing the Big
Show. But we have enough and to spare
here now. 1t is estimated that there
are nearly million strangers in the
city now, and as the Centennial draws
to close the crowds increase daily.
For week or ten days past the attena-
ance has averaged 10000 paying visi-
tors and the average is mounting up.
So Tar Pennsy Day, with its 276,
600 visitors, stands at the head of the
list FAR surprising the attendance of
any jfwo days at any previous worlds
fair, but it is expected that the closing
dav, Kovember10, will even exceed that!
To my mind it is worth dollar to see
such "a assemblage. So far very nearly
eight million people, big and little have
paid their tin and marched in at the
gates, and we expect 1t least bali mill

Of giving warning calls once, twice,
three times, to those whom they desired

IF, on the third and last call, they did
,iot comply with the demand and take
the oath, the unfortunate negro who
refused was taken to the woods and
given a ''bull dose'' of the cowhide on
ais naked back. A cool hundred well
laid on was considered a bulls dose for

such potent reasoning and took the oatE

EGtIAR AkETTNG-WHAT THE BOARD
TALKED ABOUT,
"A regular meeting of the Board of
Health was held last evening, President
Palmer in the chair
NO new nuisances We're reported by the
Ward Committees, and those under
consideration were reported in process
of abatement.
The rules regulating the cleansing of
cesspools were further considered, and
after being amended by requiring that
those engaging in scavengering shall re-
ceive "licenses, instead Of contracts"
from the Board, were adopted.
Mr.. Thatcher offered resolution in
structing the Committee on Contracts
and Licenses to ascertain if any further
ordinance is required to enforce the rules
of the Board in regard to the cleansing of
cesspools and the removal of garbage.
After some discussion, in which some
of the members argued that no ordinance
their garbage removed by other parties
than those who have the contracts, the
resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Thatcher offered anotherr resolution
instructing the Committee on Impurities
in the Brandywine Water to consult with
the City Solicitor and ascertain whether
any further legislation is necessary to
preserve tne purity OF tnc water In tnc
Brandywine; and if so to confer with the
City Council and secure the passage OF
the required ordinances. Adopted.
Mr.. Hickman asked if Capt. G. ii. Gal
lagher had not applied to the Board for Q
scavengering license, and also if he had
not suit pending against the city. He
moved that the Committee on Contracts
and Licenses be instructed to reject the

HIS ABSENCE CREATES ALARM

There has been quite II sensation "A
the circle in which General Daniel w.
Woodall moved while U. s. Assessor for
this District in this city, for week past:
The matter was kept very quiet until
| yesterday morning. A GAZETTE report
| er then entered the office and asked If
the rumors connecting,Genera Woodal's
name with forgery were reliable. But
beyond this nothing was known until af-
ter the paper went to press.
1t appears, however, that our Repubii-
can neighbors have been in the secret for
sometime, and for the sake of Grant and
Grantism have held it back.
Well, to make the matter short. TIE
General has absented himself from Odessa
near which he lived; leaving his uncle
lWoodall, his brother-in-law, Geo. V.

thaniel Williams; the banker, jacob
Tome, of Maryland anda number of other
lgentlemen perhaps to whistle for var
ious trifing sums, that it is unpleasant TO
have left unsettled these dull times. As
we looked into the thing it grew worss
, and worse.
A Republican ofiice-holder remarked TO
us that Mr.. Massey said in his hearing that
ifthe whole affair could have beenbhur-
ried out of sight he would have been glad
to have sacrificed $5000t to have itdone-
that he feared the liabilities of the Gener-
al would aggregate $4,000. The misfor
tune is thatS various Of these sums are
backed by the names of Mr.. Massey and
