riot broke out here about dusk this even
ing. Broad street frSm the court house

and whites, all excited, and the blacks
much angered at the returns unfsvorable

followed by a general outbreak of
blacks, who were largely superior IN
numbers to the whites, and who opened
general fire with pistols and rifles on
the whites, taking complete possession OF
the street tor a time. 1he
whites soon rallied, and sharp firing
occurred. Intense excitement reigned
throughout the city for some hours. The

persed the crowd and now have charge OF
the streets. Casualties, one negro mortally

Letter from Mr., Faulkner.


Editors Of the Register.
l have seen in the Wheeling Intetti-
gencer of this morning the telegram from
Clarksburg purporting to give declars-
tion made by me in my speech IN the
court house of that county last night.
The telegram is substantially correct ex-
cept In two particulars:
|. did pot assume 10 speak for my
colleague, Mr.. Wilson, or say what he
would do. He was on the platform near
me, and after announcing the course
which l should feel it my
duty to pursue as one of the
Representatives of the people, if the
facts before me should warrant such action,
| turned to Col. Wilson and expressed
the hope that he would concur and act
With nee.
2. The course Indicated by me was not
evolutionary" but in strict accordance
with the twenty-second joint rule OF the
Senate and House of Representatives,
and in accordance with right secured
to me by the Constitution of the United
States as member of the House OF Rep
resentatives, to refuse my vote to the
count of the electoral returns OF any
State which had just reason to believe
had been procured by FRAUD or MILL.
rARY violence. 1t might with equal
proprlety be charged that if, as a mem.
ber of the House, 1 voted for articles OF
impeachment against President Grant, 1t
would be revolutionary. If this be revo-
luton or treason, let the Republicans
make the most of it. Yours,
CHAs j. faulkner.

Conference Proposed.

PARIS, November S.-A dispatch says
that Intelligence received here states
that Mr.. Elliott, British Ambassador a.
Constantlnople, communicated to the
Porte the English proposals relative to
the conference. The proposals IN ques-
tion are worded SO as to enable Russia
or. Turkey to make counter pro-
posals, but the Porte will not
make any reply until it knows
the answers of the great powres. 1t is
believed that France and Italy will
maintain reserve till aware of Russia
views. Austria has semio-ticially an
nounced her intention to await the an
swer of the other powers.

MICHIGAN.

DETROIT, Novem Der Slater returns
indicate that the majority Tor Hayes in
this State will be from $4,000 to 10000.
CrowelPs majority for Governor will be
somewhat less. The Legislature will have
q Republican majority Of about 90 on
joint ballot. The Republicans have GER
tainly carried seven out ot the nine Con-
gressional districts. The Democrats re-
elect Williams in the First district by
about 1000 majority. The Eighth dis
trict is claimed by both parties. Wayne
county elects the entire ID Dimocratic ticket,
with the exception OF Durfee, RePu ublicsn
who is elected Judge of the Probate
Court, and probably Goats, Republican
sheriff.

TILDEN,s sLECrIoN ASSURED.

In the preceding eolumn we print the
states certain for TILDES and the states
certain for HAYES, together with the cleo
toral votes to which each State is entitled.
In addition, Six states are placed under
the head of doubtful, viz: Louisiana,
South Carolina, Wisconsin, Florida, Ore
gon and Nevada. Florida comes
up all right and apparently
without doubt for TILDEN by over $500
majority; and there seems to be no rea.
son 10 doubt tha. South Carolina and
Louisiana are with US. But as Mr.. TIL
DEN required but one electoral vote
added to those already conceded to him,
Florida alone completes the triumph.
Therefore we say, TIDDEN's election is
assured. There seems to be no reason
TO doubt this result. .....
