heard. Wilson is polling a large vote,
and his prospects are decidedly en-
oouraging.
A dispatch at noon announces that
Hancock and English are running
strong in Indiana and that that state
is likely to go for the democratic tick
ct by decided majority.
The colored element have general
possession Of the polls and near the
hour Of noon but few saffragans Of the
Caucasian race were noticed about
them, A large vote of the colored
element will evidently be recorded,
all ewing to the apathy manifested by
the other side. The republicans have
to-day given vent to arrogant ex.
pressions in numerous instances, and
while no disturbances have SO far oc-
Cured, yet the staggering darkies,

ers, behave as if they would be de.

TURKISH FANATICIsM.
The Sentiment of the SIin-Baek-
ed MOsIemS In STEAMBOAT.

New York Heraldl
In considering the events that have
followed the portes offer to cede
Stamboul, it is to be remembered that
two parties have hitherto shared power
between them at ConstantinOple-the
moderate. or wise party, as they
are called in Turkey, represented
by the Mehemet Ruchdis, SAT-
vets, Kadris, Khercdines, and even
Abeddins, and now almost wholly in
disgrace, aud the violent party, headed
by Said Pasha, at present in office,
This party has lately been strength
ened by sort Of ecumenical council
held at Vildiz- -Kiosh, the sultan res
idence. Certain sheikhs, passing for
ultra fanatics among their own people,
have arrived from every Mussulman
country - from Bagdad, Damascus,
Irak, Persia, Aighanistan-tO deliber-
ate with the caliph and assist him
with their advice. All these sheikhs
live in the palace, where they elected
to take up their abode, draw horoscopes
day and night, fast and attend privy
councils conyoked at the palace.
But it is certain that their spirit
is not shared by the citizens OF Con-
stantinople. A German correspond
ent, who has been four years in the
city. says that he has marked two very
noticeable external changes within
that period. The first is supplied by
the Turkish men, the second by the
women. Four years ago, he observes,
there was hardly a public house in
which Turk would have dared open,
ly to drink brandy or spirituous
liquors, whereas such establishments
have now multiplied rapidly, even in
the very neighborhoOd of the mosques,
and the open consumption Of liquors
has increased in portentious de-
gree, The Koran notably prohibits
the Mussulman believer from this
species Of carnal indulgence; never
theless, even piOus and rigid No
hammedans buy the forbidden
beverage in the daytime, and save
reputation by consuming it at night
A oausuistioal attempt is made by the
landlords of the cafes to give it che
appearance of more innoeuous drink
by serving it in coffee cups instead Of
glasses. Some weeks ago, he says, the
Turkish police made raid upon the
glasses. The Turkish women are con
tributing their part to the revolution
Of manners by the alteration of their
wells. According to the koran, every
Turkish woman or girl from her
twelfth year is bound to wear
veil of such thickness as will totally
conceal her features from the eyes
of the opposite sex-the So
called "Jasma" or "Yashmak. y But
the contest with western women has
gradually changed the veil from the
thickest to the thinnest possible tex
ture. Every young Turkish lady now
provides herself with two wells when
she is in the public street, a thin and
thick one. The former is retained for
normal use, but when an official comes
in sight, the latter is Immediately
dropped down over it. like the curtain
of a theater.

THE election starts in very quietly
in Memphis, but it may turn out that
a full vote has been polled. In other
parts of the state there is much feel-
ing and excitement on account of the
division in the democratic party. As
a general thing, it will be the liveliest
election throughout the country that
We have had in many years. Thirty.
eight states vote for presidential elec.
tors; thirty>three of them elect con-
gressmen; California, Connecticut,
Delaware, Florida, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New
ada, Nebraska, New York, Pennsyl.
vania, Tennessee, Texas and Wiscon-
sin elect legislatures, which will choose
United States senators; and Colorado,
Illinois, Connecticut, Kansas, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebras-
ka, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Texas will elect all their state
officers. Florida will elect governor
and lieutenant-governOr; Nevada, a
supreme courtjudgei New Hampshire,
a governor and railroad commissioner:
New Jersey, a governor; New York, a
supreme court judge; Pennsylyania, a
supreme judge and state auditor, and
Tennessee a governor.

US. ELECTION LAWS.

Under this heading the Avalanehe
Of this morning published long arti-
Gle, including the following clause
from the Ohio election laws:
All ballots shall be written or
printed on white paper and shall have
on them the name of the person voted
for and shall have on them no other
distinguishing mark; and each ballot
shall be so folded as not to show any
part of the name written or printed
on it.
There is no such law in Tennes-
see, but Ed Shaw and other
radicals took advantage of the
above precious item and went to
work to challenge the democratic
tickets which had colored back.
The result was that the judges not
being thoroughly familiar with the
election laws, especially those relating
to federal elections, and in a number
of wards were quite undecided
as to what they should
do. Many democratic voters
became SO disgusted at the delay and
left without voting. An editor of the
Avalanche explained to-day that it
was purely a mistake in clipping an
article on election laws from a Gin
cinnati paper. This we will not ques
tion, but the mistake cost the demo-
cratic party many a vote neverlhe-
less. Therefore both parties have
printed and issued tickets with
colored or fancy backs and no question
was raised. But the radicals seized
upon this opportunity this forenoon
and made the most oft.

THE ELECTION.
The situation at Noon To-day.

But little spirit or enthusiasm has
so far been manifested by the popular
voter in this section of the country.
In fact, not much interest has been
indicated in this vicinity during the
canvass, and many of the candidates
have expressed their regret at the
apathetic feeling of the people.
Out in the country at many places
the people are so Indifferent that it
has been remarked, many were not
aware ofwhen election day would take
place. If they knew, they didn't care
or at least they said they didn't.
In the suburbs of the city various
persons fixed up and went hunting or
fishing over in Arkansas not caring a
continental which side wins and so
expressing themselves, at the same
time wishing to enjoy a quiet days
sport in the woods and swamps.
A few bets were taken up to-day
and yesterday on Hancock. The gen
eral has friends who are firm in the
belief that he will carry enough
northern states to make him the next
national president, Many who have
voted for him to-day do not share,
however, in this and are not sanguine
as to the result One good Hancock
voter, fresh from the north, says the
superb soldier will not carry a single
northern state, save New Jersey, still
Others express the belief that he
will carry New York, Con.
necticut, New Jersey and Indiana
without difficulty, and this if so will
be victory indeed One bet was made
to day on Garfeld's carrying Indians
by 5000 majority.
In a local way up to the hour o.
noon, the indications IN this city point
to the republicans carrying the First
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth
and Tenth wards. Garfeldis getting
heavy vote in all Of the
wards named. Democratic majoritie'
are assured in the Second, Third ant
Fourth wards, the heaviest democratic
vote appearing to be in progress in tn,

days pedestrian contest the scores at
ten o'clock this morning were as fol
lows: Rowell, 1856 miles; Littlewood,

creased his lead from Dobler during
the night, theyare both going strongly,
as are also Howard and LittleWood.
Rowell rested 2 hours and % minutes
during the night; Dobler, 2 hours and
13 minutes; Littlewood, 3 hours and Is
minutes; Howard, 2 hours and 80 min
utes. They all suffered greatly in the

A dispatch describes a most won.
derfully magnificent spectacle to be
seen at Grand Falls. r. ConnOr's
drive of l5,0O0,0 900 feet of lumber, that
was hung up above st. Lenard's, has
been let loose by the recent rains,and
now completely fills the gorges below
the falls for half mile, to the appa-
rent average depth of 200 feet above
and below the surface Of the river
forming one Of the grandest sights pos.
sible to conceive. The great wedge
like mass Of timber has formed itself
into pyramids, deep gulches, and
every imaginable shape, while the wa.
ter, forced from its original level,
rushes through the chaos of logs with
a subdued roar, mingling with
the noise Of the cataract
Never before in the history of
Grand Falls has the like been
witnessed On Friday night the lam
formed at Lookout Point, half mile
below the cataract; since then the
drive has been in active operation,
and the gorge has been steadily filling
up by the run OF logs till, at the time
your correspondent writes, it has fill
cd the whole gorge, and is now steadi
ly covering up the falls themselves.
The din produced by the logs as they
arrive at the brink, pitch over and
encounter the mass beneath can be
heard for long distance. Country
people are hocking far and near to be-
hold the sight. The logs are not as
high.as the suspension bridge, and do
not threaten the structure, but moth
ing is moro uncertain than the move
m5nts Of jam of logs. The chances
are that the drive will not move out
this fall unless great rise Of water
takes place. sn .ft.s aftH
