COLUMBUS, Oct. Il The chairman of
the Democratic executive committee coz
cedes the election Of the entire State
ticket, but claims that sufficient returns
have not been received to determine
the complexion OF the next Legislature,
and thinks that later returns win show
large Democratic gains in several coun-
ties of the State. The chairman of the
Republican executive committee claims

returns received by the Republican State
committee show that in addition to the
list of senators sent at noon the Republic
cans have elected Sinks in the third dis
trict and Mounts in the second district,
but they met the defeat of Chambers
in the fifteenth district. This gives
the Republicans % senators and g.
representatives, or Is majority OF
joint ballot. The Democratic COM

ity as this, and 1t may take the full Of
fetal returns to decide what the exact
majority in the legislature will be.

The Utes Retreat,

RAwLNs, Wyoming, Oct. 13.-Lieutenanta
Burke and Schuyler arrived here this morning
and at last an authentic report is had of the
doings of Gen. Merritt and command since the
march to the front. On tho afternoon of the
day he reached Capt. Payne's camp he had a
fight With Indians. He had to move camp q
mile from Payne's old position, that night, on
account of the fearful stencil created by the
dead animals. General Merritt moved upon
the Agency and reached there Saturday. The
Indians are retreating southwark and it is ex-
pected that in small bands they will drop into
the various agencies and, thus covering up
themselves, it will never be known who the
warriors were who opened the battle on n
burgh. The dismounted companies and
wounded will be here in seven days.

DENVER, Oct. 13.-The following was re-
ceived by Gov. Pitkin to-day: Lake City, Co..,
Got. 10.-To Gov. Pitkin: The following reli-
able news has come from the Los Pinos
agency: Sapavaneiro. one of the most reliable
sub:chiefs who was sent by Ouray to the
White River agency after the news of the fight
Milk river yesterday at II o'clock. BE reports
he saw the white women and children at
White River agency, in charge of Chief
Douglass and one of the employees who was
present when the Indians made the attack
upon the agency. This man killed one Indian
and wounded another. Sapavaneiro thinks
three or four more employees aie also alive, as
their tracks were seen around the agency
buildings, and they may have fed to the
woods Father Mceker was killed. The report
as given in the papers that Sapavaneiro and
shovano took part in the fight is untrue, and
it is also not surc that Chief Douglass led the
White River Utes. Ouray thinks that Jack, a
White river Ute, commanded the Indians in
the charge on Thornburgh's command.

departments of thought. He began
IS career as clerk in large foreign
nnuse, but be coon abandoned money
making for medicine, which be
4udied both in England and Ger
m-ny, taking special interest in
pbysiology. Pro6cient in many
lsnguages. he fixed at length upon
literature as a profession. and litera
IRA with him included everything
worth thinking or writing From
the age of twenty.one until his death
nis pen was constantly in his hand,
and every where he was critic. A
mere list of his contributions to the
leading reviews would far exceed
our space. La 1849 he founded the
Leader, and 10 1864 the Fortunately
Reuieo. He wrote three or four
novels, now hardly known, although
one or two Of them still figure in the
collection of Harper and Tauchnitx.
Both as critic and dramatist he de-
voted special attention to tho stage.
In 1850 "The Noble Heart" Ave
act drama of his was produced at the
London Olympic. and it was soon
followed by nearly dozen other
plays, more or less taken from the
French and more or less successful,
under the nom de plume of Siingsby
Lawrence" Amongst them was an
English version of Balzac's hne
play, "Mercadet," called by Mr. Lew.

had published an admirable little
history of the Spanish classical dra-
ma, and in 1875 his sAators and the
Art of Acting" was printed. and
soon after was printed here, a collec-
ton of criticisms mostly upon actors
whom he had seen and studied. and
perhaps the best work in English on
the actors art. He wrote several
biographies. amongst them one of
Robespierre. and one which is prob.
ably Mr. Lewes best known work.

France it has achieved the honor of

A shooting Affair.

shooting affair took place between a
farmer named Albanus Saxton and his
tenant Silas Lore at a place called
Andora within six miles Of Elkton on
Saturday evening. A man named Mil
ton Bullock and young woman nam
ed Sarah Hall had their homes with
Saxton. During the )atter's absence
on Saturday somebody had thrown a
stone through a window, and when he
returned home he commenced quarrel
ling with Sarah aboutit. Bullock took
up The quarrel when Saxton drew a
pistol as did also young Bullock. Lore
thinking there was to be serious work
tried to pacify the combatants when
Ssxton snapped his pistol in Lore's face
but it did not go off. Lore then ran to
Bullock and seizing his pistol fred at
Saxton but missed hin, when the lat
ter returned the fire, the bullet strik-
ing Lore above the temple, and cours-
ing around his skull it came out OF the
back of his head.
The parties have been on bad terms
for some time past and it is said that
Saxton has a very violent temper. Lore
lies in very critical condition. Saxton
was arrested and lodged in Elkton Jail
about 8 o'clock on Sunday morning.
The circuit Court for Cecil County met
yesterday, and the case will come up
the present week.

Very Liberal.

The bargain made by the government
with Captain Eads, the man who has
been trying to make deep channel in
one of the passes at the mouth of the
Mississippi, was that when there was a
depth of water Of twenty four feet,
Eads should have S2,00O,o 900. When
twenty feet we're obtained he was to
have million, and when twenty-five
feet were secured another half million;
so that if there should be a depth of
twenty-five feet, he would be entitled
to only S5,OO0,O0o. Captain Eads has
already been paid $4,000, 600, upon
the theory that the depth is twenty
four feet, and now we learn from a
New Orleans paper that "the British
steamship Mikado, outward bound,
is aground in the jetties, above Crane
Island. She lies in the channel, and
is working down into shoal water. Her
draft is twenty-one feet eleven inches
aft and nineteen feet seven inches for
ward. The bottom of the twenty-tour-
foot channel, for which the government
has paid Captain Eads, has violent,
uncomfortable prejudice against ves-
sells drawing twenty-five feet" If the
incoming Congress wants to investi-
gate something which has nothing to
do with the Presidential election, it
might inquire into this business with
an intent to ascertain why Democratic
Congress awarded Eads one million
dollars that do not belong to him.
