Mr. ii. X. Wells, that there is less
whisky consumed, and less loafers and
dead-beats around Wildwood than any
other village of its size in the state of
Kentucky.
The question now is--will any of the
indictments found by the grand jury of

The conflicting accounts concerning
the destruction and probable scarcity
of tobacco plants has caused your cor

That antiquated remnant of barbar-

plished, at a cost of about four hundred
dollars to the taxpayers of old Ken

POLITICAL PRESS POINTS.

The POSTS New Orleans special says
the boards latest work has not been
very flattering for Hayes, but some of
the polls will be thrown out. The
Democrats swear that Packard shall
never take his seat, even if elected.
A telegram from Columbia to the
Washington press says the city is filled
with rifle clubs, at least 5000 being
ready for any emergency, and that Gen
eral Ruger's 300 troops will be useless
If the riflemen are determined to con-
troll matters.
The Chicago Journals Washington
special states that the National Repub-
lican committee investigations show
two Democratic electors of the South
disqualified on account of political dis
abilities, and three on account of hold
ing Federal offices.
A special from Tallahassee says there
is evidence that the Democrats have
been tampering with the ballots to
change results, but the Republicans
know and will defeat their schemes.
Hayes majority ON the face of the re-
turns is undoubted.
1t is understood that special session
of the General Assembly of Rhode
Island will be convened on Friday to
elect Presidential elector in place OF
George A. Corliss, United States Cen
tennial Commissioner, who is held by
the Supreme Court to be disqualified.

Another Democratic Lie Nailed.
Chicago, Nov. 26.-Wm. p. FRYE and
G. f.. Hoar, in their newspapers, deny
that, as members of the investigating
committee in New Orleans in i75, they
denounced the board of state canyassers.
Theyseach separately explode this story
by quoting extensively from their re-
port. Frye states that the congression-
alreport only expresses the opinion that
in rejecting some returns the board had.
in the committees opinion, exceeded Its
legal powers, though the whole COM
mittee believed they had done SO hon
estly, believing that their action was
proper construction eff the law, and act
ually, though perhaps not legally, they
were justified in SO doing. Frye devotes
some space to history of the personal.
of the board, who he asserts are highly
respectable. He adds: The only fear
have is that, to escape the suspicion o.
seeming partiality to the Republicans
they may lean too much to the side, moi
of mercy, but of murder and outrage

An IDIOTTC ROoRBACK.

The Rumor Of Hayes Withdra,cal.
st. Louis. Nov. 2S.-J. b. McCul-
lagh, editor of the Globe-D Democrat,
having been informed that the bulletin
boards in this city yesterday announced
that Hayes had said he would not ac-
cept the presidency, even if counted in,
telegraphed for accurate information,
and received the following, based on an
interview with Hayes:
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 2s.
The report that Hayes has withdrawn
is the most idiotic roorback of the can
vass. He will wait for fair count,
and if that HONESTLY elects him, he will
not allow the people of the United
States to be swindled out of Republi-
can administration.

LOUISIANA.

The Board Brarely Breast The Breakers.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2S.-In the
returning board to-day, Judge Spafford
suggested that the board give an order
compelling the Supervisors from Frank
lin, Grant, Livingston, Lafayette and
Tangepahoa parishes to hand in Their
returns. In these parishes there were
large Democratic majorities. by hold
ing back the returns contrary to law,
the supervisors might make or unmake
the governor or President.
Governor Wells said, if the votes
were not here they could not be
counted, and the board was entirely in.
dependent of all supervisors. Even
copies could not be received; he would
give an order to the supervisors if the
returns were not produced by Wednes
day.
Colonel Zacharie made motion
affecting contestants testimony, which
was overruled and the board went into
executive session.

"S OUeNtees Nthtooc'
San Francisco, Nov. 2S.-The Secre-
tary of State last night canvassed the
vote of the state, giving Hayes 7S,60S
and Tilden 75,S41. Marin county was
not included as the returns were not
received. Its vote would not affect the
result.
The Congressional Contest.
The Secretary. ..oflState systematically
that the contest between Pacheco and
Wigginton, candidates for congress in
the fourth district, will probably be on
the following grounds:
In Monterey county the supervisors
canvassed and certified the returns to
the county clerk, but in that certificate
an error in the footing was made, San
Lorenzo precinct showing two more
votes for Wigginton than were actually
cast. The county clerk subsequently
changed the footing to correspond with
the figures. As Pacheco has but one
majority it is expected that Wigginton
will contest on the ground that the GER
tificate of the supervisors was finality
and the clerk had no right to change
the figures.

Raleigh, Nov. 2S.-Thos. b. Keogh,
chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee, tonight filed a protest with
Gov. Brogden against the announce
ment of the vote of North Carolina for
Presidential electors. He enumerates
twenty-three counties to which he OBJ
jects on the ground of illegal returns
He claims that the throwing out of
these counties, with the omission of
eight counties not heard from, will give
the state to Hayes. Keogh furthermore
alleges that Glenn, the Democratic
elector, from the seventh district, is. s..inel-
igible, being commissioner under the
act establishing the Southern claims
commission.

Owing to this fact 1t has been used with suc-

leled as q Pain Reliever, whether external
or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
adopted 1t on account OF its great healing
properties.
The most efrectual way OF using the article
is in the form OF IA perforated plaster. The
extensive use of ordIr ary Perforated or Por-

The SUFFERING Poor ct the CITY,

1t is time that the people of New
York should waken to the grave fact
that there are thousands of the poor of
the city in want and suffering and
without any prospect of relief. They
have neither healthy homes, enough
of food, change of clothing, nor en-
ployment to give them u chance to
earn money. The wretchedness which
they are enduring is something incon,
ceivable by people accustomed to the
comforts and deccncles of life. Those
who are brought in contact with the
poor and who have grown somewhat
callous to ordinary suffering, say that
they had never seen such a season of
death and destitution in New York
before, and it is actually Incompetent.
slble how poor men and their families
continue to exc out living from day
to day. There are thousands of honest
and industrious laborers in the city
who would gladly work if they could
find employment, but who have not
had any steady job for six, seven or
nine months. How can they clothe
their families, or even keep life and
soul hanging together? In the poorer
parts of the city multitudes of the
tenants have ceased to pay rent, and
when one landlord grows tired of them
they contrive to get place from an>
other, and run in debt for the rental.
In the same way they have run up
heavy scores at every grocery at which
they can get trusted, and whom one of
the family is sick physician is not
called in until the last moment, because
it is known that there Is no money to
pay his fee. 1t has been the custom
for doctor in New York calling at a
tenement house, to receive payment
for his visit before leaving, but in
large sections of the city physicians
have given up all thought of fee
from tenement house patients. The
wretchednees of the poor is slowly
breaking down their health, hopeful~
ness and virtue, and their ruin is
gradually working its evil effects
through the upper strata of society
This condition of things is pitlable. 1t
is dangerous. The we'll to do of New
York must do something for fear, il
sympathy cannot move them.

THE HAMBURG MURDERS.
THREATENED ARRESTS OF NEGROES AND
WHITE MEN.

THHEATENED ARRESTS OF NEGROES AND
WHITE MEN.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle ard
Sentinel of Tuesday. 18th instant,
says
Yesterday number of South Caro-
ilnians were in consultation at the
Central Hotel. Among them was DIR.
Merriwether, father of T. McKie Mer-
riwether, who was shot in Hamburg on
Saturday night, the 9th instant. The
consultation resulted in the determina-
tlon to have warrants issued for mem
bers of the colored company in Ham,
burg, charging them with murder, riot
insurrection, and conspiracy. In the
afternoon we learned from the best
authority that, at the instance of DR..
Merriwether, warrants had been issued
for the arrest of thirty negroes. all
members of the company, charging
them with the crimes above enumeta-
ted. The parties named in the warrant
will probably be arrested at once. A
prominent citizen of Edgefield county
telegraphed to the Sheriff of Aiken
county that if such warrants were
Issued to let the parties against whom
they were issued know at once, and
they would put themselves in his way
30 that he would have NJ trouble in
making the arrests,
1t is said that Governor Chamberlain
has made a requisition on President
Grant for troops.and that the President
has placed the application in the hands
OF the Attorney. General. A reporter
of the Chronicle and Sentinel mention
ed this to citizen of Edgefeld yester-
day, and was answered that the white
population of Aiken county would
haYe no objection to Federal troops
being sent to that county. They did
no harm, and brought q considerable
amount of money into the county.
The investigation before Trial JUS
tice Rivers will, in all probability oc~
cupy several days moie. We were in
formed yesterday that the Hamburg
corps was not militia corps organized
under the laws of the State of South
Carolina. but was an independent
affair altogether. The militia company
which did exist in the town was dis
banded several years ago, ,and the arms
placed in store in the village. Last
May number of negroes got together,
organized company on their own re-
sponsibility, and took possession of the
arms without leave or license, The
officers were not commissioned by the
Governor. If this is actually the case
1t puts another phase on the matter.

MORE TROOPS ORDERED TO THE FRONT.
WARRINGTON; July 22.-All the
available troops in the North and
West have been ordered to the Indian
country, ,and the number will.be amply
sufficient to defeat the hostile tribes.
1t is not believed, however, that the
Indian question can be settled until
the Government enters upon the pol.
icy of depriving Indians of their
ponies and compelling them to go on
foot.
In regard TO the reported death of
Sitting Bull, General Sherman says
it will make but little difference
whether it is true ornot,as the Indians
have fully twenty as capable warriors
to command in case of battle.
