months before US, leaves no alienation
but to appeal to the charity of the nation
for aid. The people throughout the
Union should not fail respond to this call
for help. We feel that we are perform
ing sacred duty to the Impoverished
and destitute people among whom our
lot is cast. The bounty of a common
people was showcred on us in 1873. To
those same willing givers we appeal. If
help is not speedily furnished, we Will be
compelled to abandon the work we have
engaged in, leaving hundreds to suffers and
to die Tor want of a Howard's helping

The California Election.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-Kalloch's
election is generally conceded, though
not assured. 1t is expected that the
workingmen have elected the sheriff and
district attorney, and probably auditor,
and city and county attorney; otherwise
it is believed the Republicans have made
a sweep of the city ticket The working
chief justice. He has been endorsed by
the Democrats. They are also likely to
elect McKinsley, Mckee, Thornton and
Ross, who are also endorsed by Demo-
Gratis, and have probably also received
many Republican votes. The latest re-
turns give White 7,445; Glenn, 1881;
Perkins, ,46S; KallOch, $3.50 Griswold,
$685. Flint, 7,6SS. Advices in regard to
the legislative ticket are very meagre,
but seem to show that the Republicans
have majority. All returns emphasize
the previous report that the State ticket
by plurality of probably not less than
$4,000. Page and Pacneco are elected
to congress, and probably McKenna.
The contest is doubtful between Davis
and Barbour. Kalloch, for mayor, re-
tains slight lead and the probabilities
as to the remainder of the city ticket are
unchanged from previous advices.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 4-The press
agent at Fort Smith telegraphs as fol-
lows: Sheriff Whitehall of New Mexico
claims in the st. Louis papers to have dis
covered the notorious Kate Bender in the
person of an alleged murderess known as
Mrs. Dora Hesser Deringer In support
of his belief he adduces many plausible
particulars. That he is on the wrong
track the following statements will amply
prove: Jas. Sprall, the former husband
of Mrs. Deringer, who resides in this city,
says he married Dora Hesser in Dayton,
Ohio, in 1868, and in 1870 moved with
IL 20 h Ill 4

1875. He obtained a divorce from her
on the ground of abandonment She af-
| terward went to work as cook for der
niger, and in May, 1873, went with HIM
| to New Mexico. She is charged with in
| stigating Deringer's son to murder his
father. Willy Deringer has written here

admitted the killing of his father by
shooting him through the head. He is
in jail in New Mexico.

places Perkins /, 343 and Kalloch 353
ahead of Glenn. The vote is over half
counted. There is no reason to change
the previous estimates of the result In
the city, Perkins keeps gaining ON Glenn,
and White, in the interior, is likely to
have 10000 plurality over either.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. -fourths
of the vote in the city and state has been
counted, Perkins is leading Glenn
about II 600, and White about the same.
The completion of the count will in
crease Perkins plurality to $4,000 or go
900. Probably in the city he will gain
on Glenn, and in the country on White.
All the state ticket will go with the head,
except the justice. which cannot yet be
determined. 1t is now probable that the
Republicans will elect all the Congress
men, though very close in the city dis

commissioner in the northern district,
