tests for Positions.


tests for Positions.
Last night great and gratifying contrast
was presented In the rotundas Of the respec-
tive hotels Though the number OF visitors
had been steadily increasing previously. The
multitude assembled last night out-Heroded
expectation. Many, perhaps most, OF the
visitors were travellers engaged In ordinary
business; but there was warm sprlDkllng
of members OF the L. gislature and others In
terasted In the same. This made the scenes
ut the st. Charles and the City Hotels
quite interesting. and even the casual
dropper Ia became infected with species Of
excitement which pervaded the atmosphere.
There are many members OF the Legislature
now In the city, among whom are the follow
Ing w. A. Robertson, from the Twelfth sena-
toral District; MI. j. Foster Tenth District;
IT,. Butler, from Bienville; IL. W. Ogden,
Bosser: II. U. Grain, Caddo; III. " Mccain.
of Grant; J. III. Cosgrove, of Natehitoches
WV. Farmer, ouachita; j. q. Wise, Rapides;
H. q. stringfeliow, Red River; Thomas H.
Vaughan.
The boats which arrive this morning will
doubtless bring In great many more, and
by evening there will be more than a quorum
Of each house. Accompanying many OF the
members are gentlemen variously interested
In the Legislature and Its proceedings. Some
are devoted to mere legislative matters
proper, others favor particular friends for
circuit judeships or seat In the United
States Senate, and still others are candidates
for various positions connected with either
house.
Among many gentlemen In the city not
connected with the Legislature may be men
toned Hons. J.. q. Moncure, Louis Texada.
Leon Jaetremeki and Allen Thomas.
There are lively contests proceeding for the
elective officers OF the Legislature MIR.
Pegues, the present Clerk, and the one who
will call the roll or the House. Is understood
to be- a can dldate for reelection. There are
several other asplranis for the position, how
ever, among whom may be mentioned Mr.
Peter J. Trezevant Of Caddo Mr.. John
Clegg will be Gu nddate for reelection to
the Secretarysbp Of the Senate and II Ia I'M
derstood there will be other aspirants In the
field.
The contest for the Speakership promises TO
DO quite lively, but at present 1t 10 excelled lii

circumstances, is made still more SO by
reason OF the bill then pending land still
pendiug) before Congress, to reorganize
the Supreme Court OF the United States.
When the court is reorganized the next
thing may beto get decision declaring
the amendments irregularly adopted las a
prominent Democratic lawyer Of Wheeling
declared they were in recent speech in
our midst and therefore null and void. 1t
is not to be forgotten that in the April fol-
lowing this reiusual OF the Democratic
Senators to adopt Senator Edmund's en-
dorsement Of the amendments, Mr..
Black burn, Of Kentucky, made the fol-
lowing memorable declaration in the
House: eve do not intend to stop until
we have stricken the last yesIige Of your
war measures from the statute book"
From this data the reader can see just
what the pretense OF acquiescence on the
part Of the Democratic party in the results
Of the war, including the amendments
and reconstruction legislation, amounts to.
The real animus OF the party is one OF
hatred and opposition to whath has been &C.
complished, and, as Blackburn says, they
would be glad to wipe the last vestige OF
1t out OF existence. lft

Special Dispatch to the Wheeling IutelIiEeneer.
The Herald has the following special
from Bangor, Me-:
The election to day has brought one Of
the biggest surprises which the State has
ever had. The result Is in doubt, but it is
known that the Republicans overestimated
their strength, and that the Fusionists
have polled an immense vote which may
carry the State. The Republicans are
down.hearted and the Fusionists claim the
State BY one thousand majority. In the cit
les the Fusionists have madelsrge gainsand
the towns have increased the vote so as to
cause CONSERVATION in the Republican
ranks.
The reserve vote Of the State has been
brought out to an unexpected extent and
appears to have been wholly in favor Of
the Fusion ticket. Returns are coming in
slowly aud the result is as doubtful as 1t
was this morning. Ladd and Murch, who
we're the successful Greenbsck candidates
for Congress in 1878, are probably elected,
and the result is so close in the First dis.
trict, which had been considered as sure
by the Republicans, that the Fusionists
claim the election of Anderson by small
majority. The Legislature is believed to
be Republican in both branches. Prob.
ably the result will not be known with
any certainty before tomorrow night.

About the Situation.

WASHINGTON, September 1S.-This Ia
the way the Richmond IEhig-the central
organ Of the Readiusters-treats the reso.
luton Of the National Democratic Com.
mittee making known It's approval of the
effort to compromise the difficulties in
Virginia:
The committee should have gone fur.
ther and ordered the 80 called "Demo-
cratic party Of Virginia" to give up its in.
sane scheme to control the great majority
OF the Conservative and Democratic voters
OF Virginia by a defeated and detested
minority Of Funder lobbyists. The com
mittee has jurisdiction Of this bogus con.
ceru, and decent selfrespect should urge
it to rid the national party OF a fraud so
glarinv, and which can In no wise aid in
the election OF Hancock. Order this Fun.
der fraud out OF the field aud everything
is at once serene. We care little about the
matter, however, as We are abundantly
able TO take care oil our5elves, OF Virginia,
and OF Hancock and Englisb, without re-
gard TO what the Funders may do or will
do. lI
To the Washington Poa, which says
that public opinion will sweep aside every.
thing in the way and compel settlement,
the Wing says: sH
ave tell The Post that there will be no
compromise, and for the very reason
which 1t mistakenly assigns as the one
which will 'compePit. Public opinion
in Virginia Just now is not Funder opinion
by any means, but Readjuster opinion,
and this is most decidedly and unmistake.
ably against any concessions whatever TO
the Funders. We know whereof we
speak. The large majority OF the Con.
seryative and the Democratic voters oi
Virginia are imlnovably resolved to put
an end to Funderism, without any further
delay, now, at once and forever. They
are fully competent to do it; they feel that
they ought TO do It; and they believe that
they must do it unless they wish TO have
the fight all over again next year, aud
they fully mean to.do 1t, and at the same
time carry the State for Hancock. There
is no need Of any compromise and there
will be none"

New YoRK, September lS About three

sixteen years, Of 229 West Nineteenth
street, appeared at the Sixteenth street
station house. He was suffering from q
severe CASH in the neck and other flesh
wounds, and reported that his mother was
lying at home dying, with her throat cut.
1t appears that the attempted double MUIR
der was committed by Jeremiah Dugan,
Mrs. Higgins second husband, from whom
she had been separated. He called at the
house last night. Considerable beer was
drank, and after short quarrel Dugan
attacked the boy with razor. The latter
finally escaped, and Dugan then attacked
his wife. The woman was taken TO the
hospital in dying condition. The muir
