from San Luis Potosi to Tampico TO
the Southern Pacific Railway Com
pany. This arrangement has caused
much dissatisfaction among the
various railway interests. Gen.
Palmer wanted road to FL Paso for
connection with the Denver road.
The Vera Cruz railway company Is
greatly excited because the Tampi-
co branch viii cut off halt their bust
ness. Arrangements may still be
changed. The chief engineer of the
Denver railroad has confessed his
guilt, but the motive. for the crime
remains undiscovered. i'
The revolutionist. Samnz. was
badly defeated in Sinalya on the
9th inst. The people of the whole
country believe that if another rev.
olution were attempted lis success
would be impossible.
The rumors that Gen. niaz will be
premier of the cabinet or the incon-
ing President. Gonzales, CRAFTY the
people because it would insure
perpetuation of peace.
Preliminary sessions of Congress
have been held peaceably, contrary
to expectation.
CINCINNATI, September 20.-A
special from Columbus saws that
dispatches from Corning state that
miners undertook to come within
lines established by a wing OF the
guards and were ordered to halt.
They responded with vclley of
musketry, and the fire was returned
and kept up for Eve minutes. Col.
W. c. Lamartin's dispatch, received
late. last night, SAYS: The striking
miners divided their forces into
three parts and attacked the
troops. and the Corning mi
ners on the two ridges extended
on the north or south side of what
is known. as Mine No. 5. lie says
their column on the north, fully 20
men strong and well armed, was
halted by the troops when the firing
began as above stated. The miners
then opened fire from both ridges,
but scattered and fed after the
troops had fired four rounds. They
made an effort afterwards to organ
ize and make another onslaught, but
did not succeed. The striking mi
ners are said TO be returning to
their homes at Straitsville and Shaw
nee. The number of them engaged
in attacking the troops are said to
have been over 500. No further dis
turbance is anticipated.

to the Herald last evening from
Portland. Maine. says, the latest re-
turns received at the Democratic
headquarters from 1876 towns, give
Plaisted '73,493 and Davis 1882.
Six towns to be heard from, gave in
1879 q fusion majority of 167. The
returns will give Plaisted plurality
OF 118, if the towns TO he heard from
vote as last year.
PORTLAND. Me-, September 90
An Augusta dispatch says the cleo
ton returns, so far as received give
Davis plurality of about 200 votes.
There are still several towns and
plantations to hear from. and there
are some discrepancies in the returns
received by telegraph, which makes
it difficult TO ascertain the exact re-
suit of the election. and il is quite
probable that only the official cam
vass of the returns will decide who
is elected.
