The results of yesterdays election are
given herewith. In this city and county the
democrats elect Loew Register by majority
Of about 2, 500 over Hess, combination cam
didate. They also elect State Senators
from the Fourth, Fifth, and probably
the Eighth districts. Morrissey, anti-Tam-
many, is elected Senator from the Seventh
district by majority Of $500 ovor Schell,
regular Tammany candidate. Goebel, re-
publican, is elected to the Senate from the
Sixth district. The majority for Beach,
Secretary of State, is about $1,000 in tho
county. The State is democratic by at least
$1,000. The Legislature is probably repub-
hcan by a very close VOTE General McClel-
Ian, democrat, is elected Governor Of New
Jersey by about $4,000 majority. So far as
known the democrats have also sufficient
majority in the Legislature to control
legislation. Indications from Pennsyl-
vania tend to show that the demo-
Gratis have overcome the republican
figures of last year, and that their present
State ticket is elected by 10000 to IL, 600
majority. The new labor party polled a
large vote and completely upset the
calculations of the two regular par
ties Virginia elects the entire conser-
vative ticket, their being no opposition.
In Connecticut the republicans retain con-
troll of the Legislature, adding several new
members to their majority. Massachusetts,
Is republican. Rice is reelected Governor
by o plurality of about thirteen thou
sand. The council is all republican, a
gain of one seat CASTOR, democratic
candidate for Governor, ran behind even in
Boston, where he was considered strongest.
Partial returns from Wisconsin indicate the
election of Smith, republican, for Governor
by an increase over the republican major
ity Of last year. Maryland and Mississippi
are democratic. Minnesota and Kansas are
republican.

Arumor. emanating from sources thought

No further action was taken, but the mat

TON on THE INTEREST QUESTION. Charles
ton, 3. g., May S.--Private and trustworthy
advices have been received here that the
question Of the course to be adopted by the
Democratic State Government in regard TO
the State debt was substantially settled to-
night by the House Committee OF Ways and
Means after a protracted consultation with
Governor Hampton, Acknowledgement Con-
nor, and other leading men. Hitherto there
had been a strong disposition on account OF
the. extreme poverty Of the people to let
the whole matter Of the State debt go over
until the regular session next winter, ana
even those who favored immediate action
were generally willing to fund all unpaid
coupons up to January, 1878, anu to pro-
vide for the regular payment OF interest
only and after that date.
But the committee. owing mainly 10 the
influence OF Governor Hampton, has de-
cided that the State shall at once shoulder
thcfnancial burden placed upon it by car
pet bag misrlle, and that the contemplated
State tax of five mills shall he increased so
as to make provision for the payment IN
full OF the coupons on the State CONSOLE

which the attention OF judges Of elections
is respectfully called.
The amendments rclatc-tirst, to the pro-
auction OF the receipt for the payment OF
the capitation tax Of the proceeding year.
The Judge OF election must require this,
"or on failure TO produce the receipt the
voter must show by satisfactory eridence
that the same has been paid prior to the
day Of election" Now, many taxpayers
are either ignorant Of the law, or are care
less in preserving their taX-recelptS, or
have filed them away, and their votes
nny be rejected. The actual exhibition
of the receipts will cause delay at the
polls. How easy would it have been
for the Legislature TO have required
the treasurer 10 have furnished the
Judges at each yoting-pacc list either OF
those who haze or of those who have not
paid the capitation tax, and thus saved much
delay and inconvenience. County treasnrcrs
ought to be accommodating now. without
being required TO do so, and furnish by
such list satisfactory evidence" OF the
ravmcnt OF the tax. But let voters be
careful to 90 to the polls with their
reccipts or other evidence OF payment.
Secondly, the act further provides that
the Judge "shall CANCEL said capitation-taX
receipt before returning it to the voter"
This will take much time at some Of the
voting-places " to Judges not accustomed

The county courts or supervisors might at

one. The three justices and supervisors

RED IIeUsE.' BUCKINGHAM COUNTY,

CRED IleCSE,' BUCKINGHAM COUNTY,
May 5, 1877.
McSsrs. Editors, In your daily OF the 4th
| notice an article by our new Commissioner
Of Agriculture, addressed to the tobacco
farmers OF Virginia, which, l think, goes
to prove that Il man may have q great deal
of knowledge and "still not be able to play
on the fiddle" or may be 4 very scientific
theorist, and yet give wrong advice on the
culture OF tobacco.
After stating the situation in Europe, and
claiming that ii the war continues proyi-
sions will be very high, DR.. Pollard SAYS,
"Lct the farmers raise breadstutf at the en-
pense of tobacco" which ut this date and
in our climate can only apply to Indian
corn. He further states that "the crop Of
tobacco designed to be planted is said to be
very large in view OF the present high
prices" Tobacco is non Tnucl, torer than
ii has been at any time since the early spring
Of 1874, and as Il tobacco-grower | must beg
the Doctor to keep better posted on this
great Virginia staple. His advice to the
farmers in the tobacco country TO grow corn
at the expense oil tobacco is, in my opinion,
entirely wrong, because curtailmcnt in to-
bacco crop results inevitably in reduction
OF next wheat crop, and although prices OF
tobacco are now low, yet it pays better than
corn at one dollar per bushe, which would
perhaps be its extreme war-price.
1t is true that the markets of The world
are too full Of common tobacco; but Russia
and Turkey being involved, and general
disturbance in middle Europe, where much
tobacco is grown, would soon cure this evil.
There never has been time when there
was too much good Virginia tobacco on the
market, suited for the English and high
grade continental markets, and such to-
bacco will always command fair uemune-
ration. / believe the true theory for the
tobacco section is, let the makingof manure
from all available sources be the primary
object, to be applied to the largest area pos
sible consistent with making good tobacco,
which will give the best and surest prepare
ton for wheat to follow. Cultivate oats
for forage crop, also to be followed with
wheat; and Of corn make enough for all
home uses and to spare poor neighbor
