VERMONT MAINE.

The republican press are referring to
the elections in Vermont and Maine as
'ths opening guns Of the campaign"
No gun is a gun unless 1t is a Repub.
licsn gun.
Alabama and Arkansas have voted,
the first giving 10000 majority and the
latter As, 900 Democratic majority.
But these are not "opening guns"
Vermont and Maine are understood
and admitted to be Republican States.
Therefore, they are guns. They ''show
the drift"
Let us soc about this "drift:"
Tilden's majority in Alabama in 1876
was 33,772. At the State election on the
81 OF August last the Democratic una
iority was 10000. Democratic gain in
four years, $1,000.
TILDEN's majority in Arkansas in
1876 was 1918. At the State election
held on the 9th inst tho Democratic
majority was $1,000. Democratic gain
in four years, $4,000.
HAYES majority in Vermont in 1876
was 23,S3S. At the State election on the
III inst. the Republican majority is
claimed to be-although dropping every
da~y-26,OOO. Republican gain in four
years, 5000.
Now, We will have word to-day from
Maine, sent out before the count, that
there is a large Republican majority
an increase over previous years. That
will be the inevitable first report. The
report to be sent out by the associated
press, was doubtless prepared yesterday
before the voting began, and 1T will be
reported until the impression is well
fixed in the public mind, that there has
been a gain in the Republican vote.
Then, as in the case Of Vermont,
the truth will begin to gradual
ly leak out. The Republican
majority will drop day by day, until it
reaches or falls below the usual MAORI
ty. The hteAigencer vas so modest, yes
terday. as to claim but 5000, but would
claim this as a gain, while the fact is,
that $4,000 would only be a fair average
majority.
Yes, Vermont and Maine are "the
opening guns" They "show the drift"
They are the only reliable indications OF
the way the wind is blowing. Alabama
aud Arkansas fired two pretty big guns,
and the Republican defeat was tremend-
Gus, but they don't count. They were
frauds All Democratic victories are
frauds. 1t is a fraud and a usurpation
for a Democrat to vote at all.

TUE bottom drops out OF the Republic
can charges OF fraud in the Alabama
election. 1t will be remembered that
none Of these charges were based on
anything but hearsay. The statements
of General WEAVER, which were made
so much of by the Republican organs,
were, as everyone recollects, made not
Of his own knowledge and observation,
bnt as reports sent him by the beaten
Republican managers who fought his
battle in that State. 1t now APP
pears that these charges are
much worse than simple, ignorant
misrepresentation, and that the cert;i
Gates and atidavIts that have been pro-
duced in some quarters are iorgeries and
were v made. HENRY WArTERsoN
of the Louisville C0Wicr-JOurRdl tele-
graphs that the discovery of these Tor
geries is complete, and that the negroes
of Alabama voted overwhelmingly the
Democratic ticket. THOMAS III. WATTS,
who was the attorney general OF the
Confederate States, publishes a state
ment giving the result OF his investiga-
ton of this matter, which is shown to
be a gross fraud on the part OF the Re-
public managers.

THE Wheeling West Va REGISTER

cusation" that Mr.. TILDES had evaded
his income tax was what prevented his

Can the Times furnish any other rea-
son than this "triaing accusation" per-
tinaciously pressed before the people by
Republican journals, as an explanation
OF Mr.. TILDES's defeat at CINCINNATI
And if not, what is the prospective

1uDap WILLIAM LANG.

Indys WILLIAM LANG, who addressed
our German citizens on SATURDAY
night, left his home in Germany forty
seven years ago, a youth OF seventeen,
and on foot made his way to the French
port of Havre, where he boarded "the
good old Democratic ship JEFFERSON
as he expresses it himself;an after a
voyage OF many weeks, for in those days
the wind alone furnished the motive
power for ships, he landed in the city
OF Baltimore. From the same town In
Germany came other immigrants on the
same vessel, and amongst those imml-
grants there was a shoemaker's boy,
CHARLES BEsEL by name. From Baltl-
more these two boys struck out on loot
for the Great West to seek liberty Int
fortune. Arriving at Pittsburgh, CHAR
LEY, with some other immigrants, took
a fla.-boat, and by way OF Wheeling,
passed on to his destination in OHIO;
but the brave-hearted and stout-limbed
WILLIAM struck out for the wilds OF
Northern Central Ohio alone. Twenty
seven years passed. Judge
Lang had risen to competence
and distinction in his adopted county,
Seneca. He had accepted an invitation
from the Democratic State Executive
Committee 10 make speeches in behalf
of the DOUGLASS cause in many parts OF
Ohio. Among other places assigned
him was ore in Auglaize county. There
he met, most unexpectedly, the shoe
makers boy now grown to lusty a
hood, Of whose existence he had had no
word since their separation twenty
seven years before. They were then
both Democratic candidates for seats in
the Ohio Leg islature, in their respective
counties, to which they were both elect.
ed-Mr. BGsEL 10 the House and Mr..
LANG tothe Senate. 1t was a joyful meet
ing between the whilom adventurous
boys; and their intimacy and affection
for each other were renewed, and to this
dav has remained unbroken. They have
both filled high and honorable positions
many OF them-in the councils OF their
party, their respective countess and their
State. At one time Judge LANG was
the nominee on the Democratic State
ticket Tor Lieutenant Governor and
CHARLES BGsEL was the nominee on
the same ticket for member OF tine Board
of Public Works. At this time the
Judge is a candidate for Secretary OF
State, with a fair prospect OF election
for he is one OF the most popular men in
the State, as well as one OF the most
noble-hesrtsd and truest; and CHARLES
BEsEL occupies q place on
the State Board OF Charities having
been appointed thereto by Governor
HAYES.
Our young men, without regard to ma
tivity, may find encouragement in this
incident.
On Saturday it was the pleasure OF
the writer of this to present to Judge
Lang another boy OF foreign birth, who,
iriendless and alone, fed from the penu-
~ and oppression which was his lot in
the old world. to plenty and freedom in
the new. This was an Irish boy. Not
a great many years has passed, and yet
the scantily indicted and more scantily
clothed and fed hotel porter and boot
black, will, on the fourth OF next March,
il he ives, be educated into the office
OF Treasurer of the State of West Viz
ginia, and placed there by Democratic
votes. We refer, Of course, to Colonel
THOMAS O'BRIES.

To organize for Hancock.

THE COMING MEETING OF THH
NATIONAL COMMITTEE E---wHAI
THE NOMINATION. COST.
WASHINGTON, June 28.--General
Duncan S. Walker, Secretary Of the
Democratic Congressional Commit
tee, went to New Y ork to-day. Gen,
Walker was associated with Gen.
Hancock in the field during the war,
and he has been one of the few who
have favored his nomination for the
last fifteen years.
1t is supposed that Gen. Walker s
visit to New York has reference to
the selection of headquarters for the
National Committee during the cam
paign. The committee will meet on
the 18th inst. to organize and arrange
the preliminary details of the campaign
A strong effort will be made 20 make
Washington the seat of war, as it is
believed that the work of mailing doc.
uments for distribution can he done
more cheaply here than anywhere else,
The new campaign text book will be
out in few weeks.
The Star says tonight "There is a
secret o. the Hancock boom in Cincin.
natl worth ietUing out. About five
days before the nomination was made
O score of Hancock's friends held a
consultation at III Elm street, Gin
cinnati which was the Hancock
headquarters.
AT this gathering il was urged tha
some money was needed for legitmat,
expenses. whereupon Senator Wallace
BlantOn Duncan, 4. John Ellis. Col
Joe McKibben, and Others chipped il
aud raised $757. After Hancock WA
nominated they again met to seth,
their bills. There was ten days rent o
room to be paid for al $50 day
making $500. One hundred dollars wa
spent in printing, and another hun
dread for strealner and transparencies
This was the sum total Of the expeDdi
lures. Ne
In settling up $57 were left to be re
turned pro rata to subscribers. Col. Nc
Kibben made motion that Ia view q
the glorious sequel Of the Convention
the $57 be burned as n Hancock bonfire
His motion did moi prevail, and the S.
was returned to those who gave it. Thi.
was the sum to.al o. money expended il
Hancock's behalf. and the enlire amour
was raised after his friends reached Gin
clnnati."

An EncaD,pment Dtsbanded.

Union Encampment, No. Z, 10. o. F.,
of Rokely, Braudywine Banks, formally
surrendered its charter and disbanded,
last night. For some time the lodge has
been languishing, on account of a
general ack of interest Oh the part of
members, some of whom lived con-
siderable distance from the place OF
meeting, and severe financial losses, so
that for the past two years the regular
meetings have been attended only by a
bare quorum. Finally the faithfully
attending members became tired of this
kind of an existence, and resolved 10
disband.
Two weeks ago the Grand Encamp-
ment officers went out and endeavored
to encourage the few fhithful mem bers
OF Union to hold on awhile longer, but
the Encampment decided il was no Use,
and formally decIdbd To disband aud sui
| render the charter. However, at The
request of the grand officers final acton
was deferred two weeks Las. night
the grand officers again went out, ac
companied by delegations from Della
ware and Reynolds Encampment, Nos
and 3, of this city, and the matter wa,
talked over for some time. Union En-.
| campmeOt adhered to its previous ac
lion and finally dlsbanded, surrenderIne
| It's charter and effe3ts TO the Grand En-
campment. Before dishandmeDt order,
were passed for the payment of few

New Y0rk's Electoral College.


There has been a rumor here to-
day, started by men Of prominence,
that the Governor would be very
sure to call an extra session of the
Legislature to entertain subjects re-
lative to New York city matters and
for such other business as may be
brought before it.
TWAS broadly intimated that "such
Other business" meant the nsideralion
of the Potter b II of last session to change
the methods Of electing the electoral
ticket. 50 as 10 transfer It to an election
by Congressional districts.
Some Republicans strongly favored
the idea, but at the Governors cham
Der nsthing had been heard of it. 1t
depends upon the Governor to issue
the call for an extra session. The re-
suit of the passage of the Potter bill,
it is conceded, would ordinarily divide
up the electoral vote of New York
State, so as to give the republicans at
least seventeen of the thirty-fiye, but
the wisdom of The measure is doubted
by many.

scene. Shrieking women and children
were huddled aft until some of their
clothes caught fire, and those on the
forward part of the boat were men,
some of whom had been cut off from
communicating with or going to the
rescue of their female relatives and
friends by the flames, which burnt
fiercest about the centre of the boat.
Mr.. Morris, our pDrter, saw child
lying on It's back and was going to jump
overheard to save it when frantic
woman clutched his arm saying, "YOu
are strong maA and woman, with
cut friends on board; for Gods sake, help
me. &" The porter left the child 10 Itself,
aud saved the woman. The only one Of
the Seawanhaka's boats gotten out was
one which had a canvass fastened over
1t. After the canvass was taken of, the
body of child about two years old was
found lying In some water In the bottom
Of the the boat. Nobody seemed to know
how it got there. After got on RaudalPs
Island was almost exhausted. "A lady,
who fell into the gaDgwsy from ladder
was saved with great difficulty. Several
persons jumped overheard forward and
were caught by the wheel and drowned.
About forty of the illfated passengers,
some more or less burned aud scaided,
were rescued by members of the Eastern
Boulevard Club and taken to the club
house opposite the scene OF the disaster.
At midnight, twelve bodies nine adults
one child and two babies were brought
to the morgue at Bellevue Hospital by
the hospital steamboat. Among the
bodies is that OF Mrs. Richie, of Locust
Grave, L. l. IL is said some oil the crew
did not do their duty, but jumped into
the river and awam ashore
