THE ELECTION
In Washington.


Departments present dull appearance
to-day, only the merest routine work be-
ing attended to. The election is the alb
sorbing topic OF consideration. At the
headquarters Of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee there is great en-
thusiasm. and the Committee think Til
den Will certainly be elected.
Republicans are equally sanguine of
the SUCCESS OF Hayes. at the hotels,
etc., the impending contest is the only
topic, and both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are confident as to the result. At
the pool rooms last night betting was
slow. The Democrats offer bets freely,
but find no takers, the Republicans re-
fuslng bets unless given odds. One bet
Of 800 to $75 was taken on the general
result in favor Of Tilden.
South Carolina.
A private dispatch from Democratic
source, dated Columbia, S. G., says the
Democrats are confident of carrying
South Carolina by fair majority; thai
the presence Of Federal troops, how
ever, in the State has had the effect to
influence the colored people, who had
previously resolved to vote for Hamp.
their number has greatly increased dur
ing the last three or four days of the
campaign.
North Carolina.
In North Carolina both parties claim
the State, and private dispatches re-
ceived here from representative men ol
both parties indicate that the contest
being Waged is a close one.
In New Hampshire.
CONCORD, N. H., Nov. THE excite
ment in political circles is intense. The
Democrats concede the State to the Re.
publicans, who claim it by slightly re-
duced majority from last March.
In Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. TN the pool
rooms last night a few bets were made
500 10 $40 In favor oil Tilden; also $50 to
$50 in favor of the Republican Sheriff oi
this city. Voting is spirited, but no Sc.
rious disturbance has occurred or is ap-
pretended.
The vote of this city will be very large
Up to 10 o'clock there was the largest
vote ever given at any election.
In New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-August Belmont
has bet James Gordon Bennett $25, ,O0(
even that Tilden will be elected. The
latest pools last night on the general re.
suit were Tilden $4OO to Hayes $500; on
the State, Tilden $500 to Hayes $40. One
bet of 81 600 to $3.50 was made that TIL
den would receive $4,000 majority in this
State.
New YORK, Nov. I. - Election day
here promises as to weather to be very
disagresable. A rain storm set in last
evening, continued throughout the
night and still prevails. Thick clouds
hang over the city, and the falling rain
gives little hope OF cessation of the
storm. The polls opened at $40 O'Clock,
and polling has been slow. A rain
storm in New York is always hailed by
the Unterrihed Democracy as a sure
indication OF light Republican and a
heavy Democratic vote.
NEW YORK, Nov. THE Tribune says
warrants were Issued last night against
several parties engaged in pool selling,
on the oaths Of James Kellinger and
John Mahoney, who have been employed
by outside parties.
The aftidavits set forth that the pools
were run for the purpose of creating
public sentiment in favor Of Tilden, and
frauds of the worst character have been
practiced upon the public. The police
are looking for the offenders. Private
betting is favorable to the Republicans
carrying this State.
The election is quiet, and there is not
the least excitement. A small vote is
polling. The rain dampens the enthusi.
asm. The Republican vote will be
larger than was anticipated by the DEM
ocrats.
