The GLooM OF WAsHINoroS.-A Washington
special to the New York World says: IAN at
mosphcre Of deep and all-pervading gloom has
prevailed in tho departments to-day. The oc-
casion for this melancholy was the result Of
the election in Maine. The victory of tho
Greenbackers affected the spirits Of the Sec
retary Of the Treasury. lie found partial con-
ISOLATION, however, in the fall Of the premium on

| excepting the reading room, were closed and
the laborers 4lven days holiday, out Of re-
spect to the memory Of Mr.. Hslcs Chairman OF
the committee, who was defeatedf k6r Gopgress
by Murch. the Greenback candidate. Ex-Sec-
| retary Robson waited in tho hall for two boars
in the hope Of obtaining some cheering news,
but, on the other hand, his fears Of the worst
were confirmed. eve shouldn't have minded
it 80 much, said one Of the committees clerks,
| if il had not been for the loss of all Of those
Republican soft-money speeches sent to Maine,
| which we might have used TO some advantage in
the West. We thought we could get the Maine
Greenbackers to vote our ticket by giving them
| q little soft-money sawder. No dispatches wsse
received at the Democratic Congressional CAsar
mittee rooms from Maine, and the members Of
the committee are all out of town. All interest
here in the election seemed TO be centered on
Hale. The defeat Of the principal whipper-in
of the Republican party was entirely unexpec-
ted aud it produced great commotion in the
ranks 1t is thought that his relegation to pri-
vae life will cost the Republican Committee
several thousand dellais which otherwise would

which way the political current is drifting. -

RUSSIAN PROGRESS EASTWARD
The New York Times thinks the Turk
is getting to be of the opinion that Rus
STA is evidently to be the great power in
Asia, and that the Sultan will be his de-
pendent and ally. This new relation, if
it is formed, will affect all Asia. In
deed, it is said to have already reached
India in its influence. Shir Ali, the
Emir of Afghanistan, is reported to have
held recently an audience with the
Turkish ambassador, in which the latter
urged the probability of powerful assis-
lance by the British governments against
the attacks of the Gear. The Emir,
however, is reported to have replied that
the British government was more ready
with promises than deeds, and that she
would have aided earlier if she had in
tended to aid at all. He gave the i'm
preston that in the opinion of Orientals
the great power of Asia was the one
which had so long been steadily advanc-
ing toward the East. This feeling is
said to be so strong that Afghanistan is
believed to be already won over to the
Russian side. Russian agents are said
to be traversing India, taking sketches
of fOrtresses and preparing plans for fu-
ture invasion. The Times is of opinion
that Russia is now the great power of the
East. and that ''whep at length she wins
Constantinople, as she is sure to do, she
will be the intermediate power between
Asia and Europe" Wherever she ex-
tends her territory she will substitute
military order and law for barbarism
and disorder. Central Asia will begin
to be civilized by her.

colored, made his appearance in this
county. few weeks ago, and having
met Miss Jane Squires, there suddenly
sprang up a feeling of more than ordi-
nary interest for each other, in the
bosoms of the parties named. He, on
very short acquaintance, proposed the
subject of matrimOny, which to his in
tended seemed rather sudden. But an
explanation to the effect that he was on
his way to conference, and that the only
impeachment in the way of his appoint
ment as Presiding Elder was the fact
that he had no wife, Overcame her con-
scientious scruples and she, believing
that by a special providential interposi-
ton, the Lord had sent her husband,
gave assent to his proposal and the ne
cessary license having been procured,
they were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony. A few days afterwards a
warrant charging him with obtaining
money under false pretenses was placed
in the hands of Mr.. Hoshour, our eff
ficient deputy sheriff. He found his
man at Strasburg Junction and imme-
diately informed him of his business and
proposed to arrest him, when the sable
clergyman drew his pistol and attempt
ed to escape. Mr.. H. was, however, too
quick for him. He grabbed his pistol
and colored man near by came to the
assistance of Mr.. III. and the gentleman
of big pretensions was soon in custody.
We are sorry that we could not learn the
name of the colored man who so gallant
ly rendered assistance, with the remark
II knew you had been doing something
wrong or Mr.. Hoshour would not have
been after you" After the arrest, it
was learned that he had wife at or near
Charlestown, and he is now confined in
our county Jail awaiting trial on the
charge of bigamy.-@enandoah Her.
