ARKANSAS.

L1rTLE Rock, Sept. 8.-Partial re-
turns from number of counties in
dictate the election of Churchhill,
democrat for governor, over Banks,
greenbacker, by a majority ranging
between 10000 and $4,000. From
the returns received, and as esti-
mated by those best informed, it is
believed the proposed constitutional
amendment repuaiating certain
state bonds will fail to receive a ma
iority of all the votes cast, as re-
quired by the constitution, to insure
it's adoption.

The True InwardneSs OF the
Whole Transaction.

New YoRK, Sept. 8.-A Herald
special from st Augustine says of
the late wreck of the steamer City of.
Vera Cruz; The pilots of st. Au-
gustine, of which there are five, were
the first that disc overed that wreck
had occurred, and, what was of more
consequence to them, a vast amount
of freight already beached and more
coming. They at once formed them
selves into a joint stock company for
the time, and went for that freight
with vim. August Both and 3lst
they kept the matter of the wreck a
nrofound secret, and it was Sc
cret well kept, for it was
not until the night of the 3lst
of August that the news reached
the city. In the meantime, our IN
dustrious pilots had worked like
beavers. Having entire possession
of both beach and cargo, they man.
aged to have many goodly pile
stored up at different points of the
beach worth thousands of dollars.
Several trunks belonging to the Ill
fated passengers come ashore III
good order only to be broken open
and rifed. One evidently belonged
to a lady of wealth, for it was filled
with costly silk dresses and clothing
of the finest order; laces worth many
dollars and a gold watch and chain.
Two valuable bracelets were found IN
this trunk. In another trunk large
pocket book we'll filed with bills was
found by those fortunate pilots. In
fact they had a bonanza and they
worked it for all it was worth, hav--
ing gold watches, diamonds, wei.
filed wallets, elaborate clothing ano
many tons of valuable freight as
their reward. Indeed the latter was
in such vast proportions that teams
were employed for several days II
hauling their find, and large lighters
were filed with produce as befor'
stated. The secret was faithful,
kept Monday and Tuesday, but whel
the matter leaked out late Tuesda..
night, the whole city WIS alive wit
intense excitement. Everybody tina
had a boat or could bor o
