Says the New York Times. "Some
wild rumors appear to be currep. that the
vote Of New York will not be counted for
Garfield We do not think that any repub-
lican need be alarmed about any such con-
nngency. The republican electors have a
majority in this State of at least % 900. and
in all the democratic arsenal of trickery and
fraud there is no method BY which the re-
publican party can be cheated out of the
fruits of victory. The democratic congress
which refuses 10 count the vote of New
York for Garfield and Arthur will inaugu-
rate revolution"

The school in district No l, has Just
closed a very successful fall term both the
summer and fall terms were taught by Miss
Hattie NJ. Cole Of Sedgwick, who is also
engaged to teach the winter term, which
was contingent upon her success with the
other two terms. The scholars have mad.
a very gratifying advance in their studies,
and have been inspired with an enthusia site
interest in their work. So well has the in
terest been kept up, that an unusual proper
ton of the scholars have been very prompt
and constant in attendan ce. Miss Cole is a
good disciplinarian. and her methods of
teaching are excellent. 1t is no disparage-
ment of others TO say, that she is one Of the
best Of our young teachers. and the town
may look forward with pride to her promis-
ing success as a teacher.
The school house in district No. 9.

modelled and repaired, so that it is really a

New YORK, Nov. 8.
The following has been issued by the Re-
publican National Committee;
New YORK. Nov s.
The Republican National Committee pre-
sents TO the country resume Of the sweep
ing victory won by our party Tuesday. No
yember second, which has been so cheer
fully accepted by all thoughtful AMI patriotic
men and by the great business and CONNER
cial interests Of the nation. Garfield and
Arthur have received 2l3 electoral votes.
and will be inaugura,ed President and Vice
President March ith. 1881.
The actual result in New Jersey, Califor-
MIA and Nevada, is so close that it canno,
be ascertained until an official count is
made; but we have reason TO believe that
at least one and perhaps two of those States
have given their electoral votes for our can
didaies. The popular majority for Garfield
and Arthur will not fall short Of $50, 900 in
the Northern States. The majority of Gen
eral Hancock in the Northern States will
hardly reach 1900. If the Republican. in
The South had been permitted to vote As
they wished TO. and have had ''iher votes
counted as the, were cast" a; least six Of
these States would have recorded majori,ies
ranging from FIVE 10 forty thousand for our
ticket.
The maioritic., therefore. claimed BY our
advcrsaries in mos. Of the Southern States

Northern State except Nevada, where a

succeed Mr.. Sharon after the fourth of

stand 81 Republicans, 81 Democrats. and
two Independents. Two Of the southern
States given TO the Democrats in the above
estimate, are vet to elect Senators. and il
is not unlikely tina, We shall secure one Of
them
In the lower House Of Congress. We have
not les than fifteen majority. and no Off
Ger. Of the present Congress can reduce or
impair this majority. except by a revolution
AIRY act. Garfield and Arthur have been
elected by unparalleled popular majoriiies. in
that portion Of the country where the right
of every citizen is recognized 10 vote as he
pleased and have his ballot honestly counted.
This result in an intelligent and free
North is n chas;c and loud answer to the
indecent manner in which our adyersaries
have uaScd the whole Of their campaign
