The above dispatch comes to US in an.
swer to telegram on our part seeking
reliable information in regard 10 the vote
otthe Third district. 1t gives no data
upon which to figure, but simply quotes
the opinion Of the manager Of the
Charleston Courier, which, we presume, is
based, aS yet, on only partial returns,
inaSmuch as there arc twenty.One conn
ties in the district, and some Of them are
very remote and Inaccessible. So far a.
reports have been received from coun'
ties along and adjacent to tho line Of the
Chesapeake & Ohio road, they show
gains, some Of them very large
gains, over the vote OF last fall,
and over any previous vote ever cast in
the district. This is circumstance that
will not escape public attention. 1t will
be remembered that there were no candi-
dates voted for save school trustees, and
yet the vote in some Of these counties, ex.
ceeds that cast last fall, both at the DC.
tober election and also for President in
November. For instance, Mercer coun.
ty is quoted as giving 1000 votes for
Charleston, whereas last fall she only cast
500 votes, and in 1872, in the exciting
contest between Jacob and Camden, only
s4G votes. Again, Raleigh county is re.
ported to have cast 1900 votes for
Charleston, whereas she only cast
sS9 last fall and only $50 in 1872. Again,
Boone county is quoted at l,lOO for
Charleston, whereas last fall she only cast
7OS votes, and in 1872 only s52 votes.
The county Of LincOln-the county that
sent the immortal Vaughn to the legisla-
ture, is reported to have cast | ,l94 votes
for Charleston, as against 0OS votes last
fall and 1857 in 1872.
But the great bonanza County, Is Ka-
nawha, where the vote has run up from
5,lSS last fall to G,232 on Tuesday. This,
too; at time when the labor OF the Val.
ley is reported as in depressed condi,
tion, and lsborers (by natural inHnences)
fewer in number than heretofore.
These votes may be all straight and
regular, but until they are shown to be
80 a great many people in West Virginia
will have their suspicious keenly excited.
We prefer, for .he present, not to give
them full credcnce, as to their having
been cast, and to await actual returns in.
stead OF returns mixed with inferences.

Mary Donaldson Not a Suicide.

DAYTON, August l0.-A special to-day
to the Journal from Washington c. H.,
states that the body Of Mary Donaldson,
found hanging to tree near Milledge-
vile, contained marks Of violence, show.
ing that her death was not suicide, as
at first supposed. There is a great deal
OF excitement in regard 10 the affair and
several parties have been arrested At
Milledgeville who are supposed to have
been accessories to the crime. The state.
ment Of the physician corroborates the
fact that the girl was dead before she was
hung TO the tree, and the coroner's jury
brought in verdict OF death by causet
unknown. The girl was of a good family
and respected by all who knew her. She
had been missing for several days when
the body was found. q
