Order of the Governor and COun
oil

AUGUSTA, November 22.-The Cover
nor and Council have given notice that
they will be in session from the lst to
the 18th of December for the purpose Of
examining the official returns and can
didates claiming Irregularities and 9TH
er causes, presumed 10 vitiate their elec-
ton, will have a reasonable opportunity
TO be heard personally or by authorized
counsel. Immediately after the pro-
mulgatiOn OF their order, Baker d
Baker address a letter to Supreme Court
Chief Justice Appleton, as follows:
"Since YOU issued notices on the petit
tiOns for Il mandamuS, to
show cause why the SEN
ators and Representatives should not be
allowed to examine the official returns
OF their election and since the Associate
Justices of the Court have unanimously
consented to meet with you at Augusta
on Tuesday next to hear these petitions,
we are informed the Governor and
Council have passed the enclosed order.
II is undoubtedly right of our clients
under the laws of the State to examine
the election returns to-day, as il has
been every day since the Governor and
Council declared by formal order that
the returns were open, and then persis-
tently refused to exhibit them. Our
clients will moreover insist at the
proper time that the twenty
days allowed them by law for
application for correction, for the re-
turns shall not be made TO run against
them until the returns are actually and
practically open 10 their examination,
but assuming the enclosed order Of
Council, thus publicly issued, will be
carried out in good faith by ahording
our client full opportunity TO examine
the returns, and after December lst we
do not deem il our duty to presist
in the petitions on the day
ordered, but will make them returnable
at the December term Of your court for
the county of Oxford, which begins
December I'd, and will be in session in
the county seat, and respectfully re-
quest that the new order of notice be
returnable accordingly. 4 telegram
from a member of the Republican advis-
ory committee states that the Republi-
can Senators and Representatives elect
from every county in the State will
be present at the opening OF the hear
ing, Monday, December lst, each for
himself TO peruSe the nature Of the re-
turns OF his district in order TO have cor
rectiOns made If errors be found.

VESSELS WRECKED.
Several Lives Lost.

DETROIT, November PA special to
the POa and Tribune from Traverse City
reports the schooner W. B. Phelps, OF
Oswego, went ashore ut Glen ArbOr,
Lake Michigan, on Wednesday night.
The vessel and cargo, 1900 bushels OF
wheat, are total loss. Capt Kelly, RObt.
Dewey, George Kelly, Oswego; Frank
Cook, Sandusky, and German sailor,
whose name is unknown but who
shipped at Milwaukee, are all drowned.
The first mate, Hourigan, and Edward
|. GOe, OF OswegO, were saved.
ERIE, Pa, November 23.-The Cum
berland, Canadian vessel, went ashore
Just above Presque Island, yesterday
morning. The United States steamer
Michigan went to her assistance in the
evening, but the weather was too thick
to accomplish anything until this morn
ing, when the wreck was examined.
Her hull is entirely under water, and it
was impossible 10 get aboard Of her. No
trace OF the crew could be discovered,
and il is feared that all hands were lost.
She was loaded with lumber and rail-
road ties. The vessel went 20 pieces this
afternoon, and the shore is strewn with
the cargo.
The Wacasta, another Canadian YES
sci, went ashore yesterday, Off Life Sa-
tion. The crew were taken off safely.
The vessel is still hard aground, and it is
feared she will break up. She is loaded
with lumber.

The Railroad


Wetkel Messenger.
Since our last issue we have talked
with a number of prominent citizens IN
regard 10 the proposed railroad down
the river, and have been pleased To find
that the feeling seems to he universally Y
i'm its favor.
II is thought by some, however, that
the amount suggested 10 be raised 10y
Wetzrl is more than would be necessary
10 build it through the county, and that
only 81 much rs may he necessary for
that purpose should bc asked.
Ii is feared by some that it will be
difficult 10 geta three-tifths vote in favor
OF the appropriation in consequence OF
the r0Rtc being on one side OF the
county, which, they claim will make it
difficult tC get large portion OF the
voters Of the county to understand that
il is To their interest 10 favor it. But we
imagine that all these doubts and fears
will be- removed, that Wctzcl will do her
appropriate share OF the work and thus
assist 10 hasten the dawn of an era OF
prosperity iDr the whole county that
will lar exceed the most sInguine eX-
pectstiuns of the friends of enterprise
ami progress.
The preliminary survey will enable
the managers 20 make an estimate OF
the cost of the road, and then the ques-
ton should be submitted 10 the people
at the earliest practicable moment.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Sensational Sequel in Supposed
Murder and Robbery Near
Huntington, w. Va.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, November 22.-
On the night of the 9TH instant Isaac
Hollis and a man named Webb, of Rock
wood, across the river from this place,
came up out of the river with wet
clothes, and reported that while they,
in company with William Shuck, were
crossing the river, drowning ShuCk.
About the same hour Vandyke, at the
house of a woman on the West Nir-
ginia side,t displayed what ap.
peared to be a large roll OF money.
Shuck being trading man, and having
had money on his person during the
day, suspicion was aroused, and Van
dyke, Hollis and Webb were arrested.
After an examination they were sent to
jail to await trial on charge of drown
ing and rObbing ShuCk.
Last Thursday Shuck made his APP
pearance at home, few miles from the
river, on the Ohio side, and knows
nothing about the drowning affair. 1t
is generally thought that the whole
affair was a job put up on an insurance
company in which Shuck's life is in
sured for $1,000. The accused are still
in Jail, and can only be released by a
writ OF habeas corpus.

spark of life left in it rs late as the lst OF
November. A greenback paper called
The Courier, printed somewhere IN
"Young Virginny," in its issue OF the
9Th inst, contained an account OF a
greenback picnic which was held at the
mouth of a certain creek in kanawha
county on the lst inst. Ii was a very
pious and patriotic sort OF picnic. The
proceedings were opened by the
singing of "hymn,' probably
"lned OIL" after the custom OF the coun-
try, by some righteous brother Ot thr
Deekin Pogram variety. Alter the
singing of the hymn, IN which the
praises of the greenback idol were Wild
iv chanted, "the divine blessing was in
yokel upon our cause Then follow
ing the reading OF the Declaration OF In
dependence, after which the Rev. Mr.,
Daugherty delivered short address,
or what perhaps might more properly
be called a greehback sermon. This
ended the strictly religious part OF the
exercises.
Dinner was announced, and the green
back saints made a hearty repast upon
corn pOne, rusty bacon, and other Nlr-
ginia luxuries OF the season. Hay-
ing allayed the pangs of hunger, the
crowd listened for the space OF two
hours to a speech by one Samuel
C.. Burdette, enthusiastically APP
plauding from time 10 time, and wind
~ up with three cheers for the green
back party. BY an oversight the DoX~
ologv and benediCtiOn were omitted.
After the cheers, as the greenback or
ganist informs his readers, wagons
were gotten ready, horses were saddled,
and the crowd wended their way home
ward, after q meeting the like OF which,
for numbers, enthusiasm and earnest
ness, has not been seen in this neck Ol
the woods since the war. The green
back cause in this section Is spreading
like wildhre. The 'greenback corpse
won't stay buried IL is further To be
gathered from the greenback organ that
il takes about a thousand people To
make a vast thrOng in that meek OF
woods"
II must be a great satisfaction to our
greenback friends 10 know that there IS
one spot on the continent where their
cause is spreading like wildtire.' Very
likely it will continue TO spread In that
meek o. woods" where the people can
not be expected To learn the fate OF the
raginiant i'm Ohio, Wisconsin, New York,
and other States for at least year. The
woods i'm that section of America are not
full Of newspapers. IL is doubtful
whether more than one-half of the peO-
pie have heard of the death OF General
Andrew Jackson, or know the differ
ence between the Declaration OF lnde-
peudence, the Constitution of the United
States, and the Virginia and Kentucky
resolutions of the last century. They
are probably as good greenback timber
as can be found this side of Canada.
FELIX.

Rev. L. B. Carpenters Death.
Baltimore sun.

bI.unugC sun.
Rev. l.. Il. Carpenter, pastor OF Jack
son square VI. +. Church, died very
suddenly last night at his home in the
parsonage adjoining the church. During
the day lac was apparently as well as
ever i'm his life. He remained during
the evening cOnversing pleasantly with
some visitors until after ten O'Clock,
when he went up stairs and settled him
self down TO read a newspaper, when
suddenly he dropped the paper from
his hand, and making an exclamation
i'm regard 10 4 pain he felt in
his heart, died in 4 few moments.
Physicians were hurriedly summoned,
but they could do no more than to in
form the stricken family that death was
the result of sudden paralysis OF the
heart lie expired about IL o'clock.
Mr. Carpenter was 4 well-known preach
er of the Methodist Church. He was a
member Of the Baltimore Annual Con-
terence. and had been at Jackson Square
since last March. Previous to that he
was for three years at Grace Church,
and then for some time at Exeter VI. +.
Church, from which ne was at the last
conference transferredt 10 Jackson Square.
The suddenness of his death will be a
shock 10 many friends left TO regret his
loss in the church, when he was widely
known and well-belOved.

THE VIRGINIA DEBT.
Result of the Late Election.

WASHINGTON, ID. o., November r.
The chief political topic here is the con-
test in Virginia, between the debt pay
ers and readjusters. 1t transpires that
each class of Democrats have elected an
equal number of members of the Legls-
lature, while the Republicans have elect
ed twentv-Seven members, OF whom ten
are classed as debt payers and seventeen
as readjusters. This difference gives
the readjusters a small majority, il no
other question is entered into to COM
plicate matters, but other questions do
not enter in, and the Republicans pro-
pose, while holding the balance OF power,
TO secure concessions which will ad-
vance their interests. The leaders of
both classes OF Democrats are Offering
very advantageous terms, and the ques-
ton under consideration is which side
will most surely carry out the promises
made. The present State officers are
debt-payers, and as their continuance IN
office and the general distribution OF
patronage depends on the triumph ot
their side, they offer to keep open the
schools and repeal the poll tax law,
whereby thousands of colOred people
are deprived of their votes, and cOncede
other political advantages if the Repub-
licans will only join them in measure
for the payment of the debt and the
election of State officers. The Read
iusters offer similar terms, except that
they ask that Malone, their leader, be
elected United States Senator.
1t is understood that the promise OF
Republican support was given Malone
during the canvass. He represented to
them that Reputation was not intend
ed-that there were other things besides
the debt To be readjusted; that the
school closing measure which originated
with the Debt-payers needed readjust-
ing; that the system of taxes needed re-
adjusting, and that the poll tax law,
which requires the payment months be-
fore election day, needed adjusting, so
the colored Republicans may no longer
be deprived of their votes. Hence, the
name Readjusters has had lib
eral meaning in the canvass
which gave Malone great
advantage. Both sides sought to Culti-
vate friendly relations with the colOred
people. Meetings have been held since
the election. over which colOred men
have presided, and at which colOred
speakers have shared the time with
white speakers, and very friendly re-
lations exist between the races. The
contest has been watched with deep in
terest. From here the President sees
in the results OF this campaign, and in
the present situation better prospect
for the future of Virginia. The cOlored
voter is now an important factor, and
all rights being assured. peace and pros
peritv will follow.

on Sunday morning, the End inst. Six
teen of the enemy's vessels transports
and men OF war appeared of Plsagua,
and without loss of time directed their
course toward the shore. Pisagua was
defended by detachment OF 900 Balivi-
an troops under the chief command OF
Col. Granier, but it appears that Gen.
Buendia in charge of the defence and
the army of Tarapaca was in the
place at the time, and the 100 FOUNDERS
were around on the bluff overlooking
the town, but, it is asserted, were with
out shelter. The fighting was heavy
and the loss OF life great. The shore
batteries made a gallant resistance, but
Pisagua was captured and Buendia re-
tired towards San Bernardo, short two
leagues from the Scene OF the battle.
The battle OH land must soon take
place.
A telegram just received announces
that Buendia has fallen back to Pena
Grande, on the 34-mile stretch between
the inland termini of the Pisagua *
Iquique Railroad, and had been joined
bv reiniOrcements, making in all about
1000 men. The Chilian advance was
at Santa Catalina, thirty miles from
Pisagua, on the railroad, and still going
forward towards Buendia's positions.
Prado and Daza or their columns must
also be advancing towards the Province
OF Tarapapaca from africa and Tacna,
directly in the rear of the Chillans.
The number OF the latter is yariously
estimated at probably from 10000 to
1000 soldiers. Fears are entertained of
the destruction of Iquique by the united
Chilian naval force. The town is only
guarded by National Guards, as
all the regulars have gone to Buendia's
support. Lima has been declared
under martial law. All citizens capable
of bearing arms inust enroll themselves
in the regiments of the National Guard.
but the fate Of the attacking force o.
Chilians on Tarapaca seems to secure
the safety OF Lima from any similar as
sault. 1t is not probable that the
enemy is strong enough to attempt two
such undertakings, and it is evident
that the main object of Chill is the
nitrate of Tarapaca, and possibly later
on her attention may be turned towards
the guanO deposits.

Consolidation of Cincinnati Breweries


CINCINNATI, November 22.-The Conn
merciol will publish an article tomorrow
on the consolidation OF all the brewing
interests in this city. The brewers have
been holding frequent secret meetings
recently and it is reported that they
have determined to merge all separate
interests in one gigantic brewing COM
pany, with a capital OF SS,OOO,0OO. The
different breweries will be transferred to
this company and will be paid for in
stock. The company through its Off
GERS will then control all the breweries.
1t is stated that some such action was
necessary, for competition cut prices so
low and obtaining customers had be-
come so expensive that the profit to
the separate brewries was eaten up. II
the scheme is consummated it will rev.
olutionize one OF Cincinnati's most ex-
tensive interests, and the brewers say
they will produce better beer.
