Nan Who Has Paid O,st 500, 900, 900
seFrom the Virginia New Chronicle!

a Man Who Has Paid Oet SGO,OOO,OO0
s4From the Virginia New Chronicle!
For the past week or more Secretary Tay-
lor, Of the Bonanza mines, has been so sick
that he has been confined to his room.
Hence, when pay day came (which was yes
terdsy) he was so behind with his work that
he was compelled to defer paying until to-
day. This surprised the employees, and gave
rise to rumors that the Bonanza firm was
about to suspend payment altogether.
This morning, however, when the $4,000
trays were placed on the table, and Mr.. Tay-
lor was seen at his post as usual, all fear was
removed.
Mr.. Taylor says he has been paying off
now for six years, during which time he has
disbursed over $6O,OO0,OO0, and yesterday
was the fret time he was ever a minute be-
hind-hand. He has handled 80 much money
that he can tell by the weight of
pile of twenties, without looking
at them at all, how much there
is in the lot. In paying off he has the gold
counted into $500 and $40 piles, and the
silver into $4, Sc and $40 piles, so that he
can pass it out as fast as the men can come
up to the paying counter. So sensitive is he
to the weight of pile of coin that some
times, if a $40 stack of half dollars con-
tains few that are new, and consequently a
trife heavier than the rest, he will stop and
count them over to sec if there isn't some
mistake

The official figures of tho recent election
in Massachusetts, show falling off in the
Republican strength quite as remarkable as
that in Maine Heretofore the old Bay State
has stood at the head and front Of tho party
in tho East. It gave way only to the ex-
tent Of four members of Congress when the
storm against Grantsim swept over the
country in 1874, transforming Republican
majority of a hundred in the House of Rep
resentatives into Democratic majority of
eighty. -~ ..,s..... = ..
Gradually the foundations have been sap
ped, and but for the folly and stupidity of
it's opponents the whole Republican eli6ce
would have toppled over and fallen to ruin.
1t is now propped up by accidental causes,
and kept temporarily standing by sectional
agitation. Whenever that support is re-
moved, it will 60 to pieces.
In 1868, Grant carried Massachusetts by
majority of $1,000 over Seymour. In 1872,
Grant carried Massachusetts by a majority
OF 1922 over Greeley. In 1876, Hayes
carried Massachusetts by a majority of
Al ,286 over Tilden.
: Contrast these results with the last returns
for Governor, when the whole vote cast was
only 5000 short of the aggregate at the
Presidential election, and the significance of
the great change will be apparent. here

Light the Street Lamps,

There ought to be some system whereby the
street lamps can be lighted on dark nights,
even though the almanac says ''moon." As it
is now, when there ought to be moon visible,
and there isn't, the city is plunged in darkness.
Early last evening the city was positively un-
safe either for teams or pedestrians, owing to
the darkness. Wouldn't it be just as we'll to
provide for lights when the moon is invisible,
even if the calendar calls fer tho silyery ball.

LOUISIANA ELECTION.
Heavy Democratic Gains
Throughout the State.

New ORLEANS, December 2.-The
election in the city passed off quietly.
A very light vote was polled, probably
less than twO-thirds of the vote. The
ring ticket in this parish is generally
elected.
Special dispatches to the Democrat from
all telegraph stations in the State show
heavy Democratic gains. Eleven par
ishes claim a Democratic gain of $1,000
compared with the Democratic count OF
1876. The same parishes gave Hayes
600 majority. All the dispatches say
the election passed off quietly, and most
of them report the negroes voting the
Democratic ticket aud for the constitu-
finn
