Notes of the State Elections.

The republican majority in Kansas is
between $4,000 and 10000.
The New Jersey legislature is demo-
cratic on joint ballot by seven majority
McClellan's plurality is about 1900.
The republicans carried Cook county,
ILL.,, (Chicago) for local officers by from
5000 to 10000 plurality.
The Wisconsin, Senate is estimated to
stand 81 republicans to IL democrats.
The assembly is still somewhat in
doubt. So far, the republicans are sure
of "a, the democrats 81, the greenback-
ers 4, and the socialists L, with % to
hear from.
The total vote in Massachusetts will
be about lbs, 200, and Rice's plurality
about $4,000. The total vote is about
1000 larger than in the last off yeal
Q875,) and greater than was ever be-
fore cast at an election where neither
president nor congressman were chosen
Very few additional returns have
been received from New York state
but these show the democratic plurality
to be more than previously estimated
or, $4,000. The Legislature now ap-
pears to be republican in both branch
es. The labor vote in the state was
probably about 10000.

DIR. Won BULow, the pianist says:
eff I stop practicing for one day, l no
tice it in my playing; if l stop two days,
my friends notice it; if stop three
days, the public notice it." 1t is differ
ent with the young man who practices
down the street. If he stops for one
day, the whole neighborhood NOTICES it,
and feels like paying him five hundred
dollars to never begin again if he
dosn't stop for two days, the neighbors
ask the police to notice it as nuisance /;
and if he doesn't stop for three days,
they take their shot-guns and go gum
ming for him.

One by One.
BY THE AUTHOR OF LOOMING.

BY THE AUTHOR OF COMING"
Not sweeping up together,
In whirlwind or in cloud.
In the hush of the summer weather.
Or when storms are laundering loud
But one by one we go,
In the sweetness none may know.
Not passing through the portals
OF the celestial town,
An army of fresh immortals.
By the Lord of battles won;
But one by one we come,
To the gates of the heavenly home.
That all the powers of heaven
May shout aloud to God.
As each new robe of life is given,
Bought by the Masters blood;
And the heavenly raptures dawn
On the pilgrims, one by one.
That to each the voice of the Father
May thrill in welcome sweet,
And round each the angels gather
With songs, on the shining street;
As one by one we go,
To the glory none may know.

ARREST OF PRESIDENT RAYMOND.


NORTH Troy, VT, Nov. 9. The
Southeastern men have been laying
track all the morning and everything is
moving quietly but surely. There has
been no demonstration made by the
Passumpsic. President Emmons Ray
mond of the Passumpsic was arrested
at Newport last night by Sheriff T. P.
Gallup on issuing from the town grand
juror of RichfOrd, on complaint for
tearing up rails in that town on the 18th
ult. He was taken by the officer to
Richford this morning. L. Robinson OF
Newport, President of the Missisquoi
and Clyde River Railway, accompanied
Mr.. Raymond to furnish the required
bail for his personal appearance at the
County Court. The penalty as fixed by
our statutes for tearing up rails mali
ciOusly is not less than two years al
hard labor in the State Prison.
LATER.
RIcHFoRD, Vt. Nov. 9. Sheriff l.
P. Gallup of North Troy arrived here
about four this afternoon with President
Emmons Raymond of the Passumpsi,
Railway in charge, having made the
trip from Newport over Montgomery
Mountain rather than to pass through
the Dominion, to reach this place
Promptly on his arrival Raymond was
arraigned before Justice Calkins; H. E
Rustedt, assisted by Hon. II. C. Wilson
and john L. Lewis, appearing for the
State.
Mr.. Raymond waived examination
and was put under ten thousand dollari
bonds for his appearance at the mex
term of Franklin County Court. Th,
bail was furnished and Mr.. Raymon,
released, when he was again arrested
on similar charge of tearing up rail-
in the town of Troy. He will be takel
to North Trey for examination tO-mOr
row morning.-BOston Journal.

Cheap Living.

When Mr.. Beecher expressed the
opinion that man might live on dol
lar day, there was considerable jOk-
ing INDUCED in upon the subject, and
witlings have hardly yet exhausted
their supply of ammunition suitable for
firing at this target. Yet Selma, Ala
bama, produces cases where one dollar
day would be an extreme of extrava-
gance. 1t has been matter of wonder
to some of the white people there how
age to get along in comparative comfort
on their small earnings. Investigation
in one case showed the secret. This
case was that of an old man, who, Oh
earnings averaging not over twenty
five cents day, supported himself and
wife. He was able to give the items of
his weekly purchases, and it is a curl

The letters published this morning

ment to force the parties holding this
agreement to publish 1t Ia purely o
scheme Of certain Northern Democrats

is to embarrass the Southern policy OF
the President and bulldoze the Southern

The New York and Ohio Democracy
having, by weakness. imbecility, mis-

confreres Of the South, are now
seeking to force the latter back into
the old alliance by discrediting their ef-
forts to save themselves from the wreck
of hopes and fortunes for which
the Northern Democrats are
alone responsible. The only pur.
pose therefore to be subserved

Especial to n. O. Democrat /


WASHINGTON, March 2o.--Gov. Hamp-
ton will return to South Carolina to-
morrow evening. He had long inter-
viow with the President to-day and
aEined with Evarts this evening. Sub
sequently your correspondent called
upon him and ascertained the fact that
ae does not intend to discuss the situa-
tion with Chamberlain in any manner.
He says that his business here Is purely
with the President, and that it does not
involve any discussion OF his title to the
office which he holds with Chamberlain
or anybody else.
The interview with the President to-
day was simply u discussion OF the So
cial and political condition Of South
Carolina and tho South generally, in
cluding a survey OF the present condi-
tion and future prospects OF the negro
race. The most noticeable feature of
the interview was that the President
conducted his part Of the conversation
In such a manner as to indicate that he
regarded Hampton as Governor Of the
State, and all his remarks as to the fu-
ture OF the State and Of the negro pop
ulation were based upon the assumption
or Implication that Hampton would be
Governor. BUELL..
