THE OAR.
Laycock Defeats tho Bostonian,


In the sculling match between Elias C.
Laycock, of Australia, and George H.
Hosmcr, of Boston, for e2OO, which came of
over the Thames champion course, the Bos.
tonian was defeated. Laycock rowcd easi-
ly and won by three lengths.
The weather was splendid and the river
perfectly still. Hosmer was dead beat.
Hosmer won the toss, and selected the
Middlesex shore. The start was made at
II minutes past 1 o'clock p. m. Hosmer
rowing stroke of 40 to the minute, and
kaycock 3S. Shortly after the start Hosmer
was leading by halt length and main-
tanned his lead to the end of the concrete
wall. At the Crab Tree Hosmer showed
signs of distress, and Laycock gaining
a foul was narrowly avoided. Lay
cock passed Hammersmith bridge three
fourths of a length a head. Hosmer inn
mediatcly, in response to the shouts of his
supporters, reduced the distance to half a
length, but discontinued tho struggle
about fifty yards below Cheswick Eyot,
and dropped several lengths astern. Lay
cock continued rowing an easy stroke to
the finish. The time of the race was 20
minutes 81 seconds.

CrOOkedness as the Prison

Sse'OAeAOcoS ~ tu0 Prison.
A case Of crOokedness in the discharge
Of q prisoner from the county prison has
come to light On the 22d Of January 1874
Abraham Buzzard was convicted of larceny
and of receiving stolen goods. and SEN
fenced the same day to an imprisonment Of
two years and nine months. He escaped
from prison on the 5th Of August follow
ing, after having served only six months
and thirteen days of his sentence. He
was recaptured in 1878, and was indicted
for Jail breaking. On the 23d Of August
1873, he pleaded guilty to the in
dictment. and the court sentenced
him to two years imprisonment
for Jail breaking ''tO commence at
the expiration Of the sentence he is now
serving out for larceny and receiving stolen
goods. According to this his original
term would have expired short time ago
and he would be beginning his second term
not 70 expire until some time late in 1882.
But, by somebody's mistake or connivance
Buzzard was discharged from prison at
the expiration Of his sentence for iail
breaking. and no account was taken
Of his unexpircd sentence for lar
ceny. The prison authorities had special
notice from Judges Patterson and Living
stOn that the sentence for Jail breaking
was to commence Mt the expiration of the
sentence for larceny, and this notice was
set forth on the prison books by Charles
D. Triple. who was prison clerk up to tho
LIST of April last, and who had personally
consulted the judges regarding the matter
and had called his successors attention to
their decision.
We now give this notice to the public
and to the court so that when tho next
grand jury is charged they may be direct
ed to see how and when and why this
prisoner was untimely set free.

The District ATTORNEY Copts.t


In this city, as appears from the table OF
returns, Davis was cut all to pieces, being
beaten over 100 in his own ward where he
attended the polls in person all day. In
such Republican strongholdsa as the Fourth
and Fifth wards he was also frightfully
cut and he goes out of the city in minor
ity Of nearly 1000. From the rural dis
tricts the returns are as yet incomplete
and seem to be difficult to obtain on
this Office. In Conestoga we learn
that Davis runs 100 behind his
ticket about 100 in Earl 100 in Provi-
dence and more in Drumore. In other Re-
publican districts he was moro or less cut,
but the event of the presidential
election and the active bulldozing
OF nearly all the Office hunters
kept the Republicans from striking
him as fully as was anticipated. The
local politicians Haunted badges inscribed
ASK me for The REGULAR Republican
ticket" and men were so severely spotted

ONE cause of regret our Republican
friends cannot possibly escape if they
are consistent; which, however, we
cannot say is markedly characteristic of
them; and that is that there is solid
North. As the solid South was to them
a cause of such extreme annimadversion
during the campaign, do they not have
reason to feel little ashamed of them
selves that they are open to the same
reproach which they visited SO severely
upon the Democrats

vote and tho personal labors at the polls Of
Postmaster Marshall, Chairman Eshls-
man, Clerk Of tho Senate Cochran and
District Attorney Expectant Davis, led to
fears that the Republicans would run far
ahead. Their calculations were from 30
to 60 majority. They carried it for Gar
Geld by few majority and lost it for De-
muth by few more.
Altogether the city Democrats made
good fight. The city Republicans were
altogether unequal to the occasion and
need not have been surprised to have re-
ceived such messages as these:

music ,; the "business men," who
had hardly shown their faces at thu
polls and the "young men, OF

a button in their wards, were very
ud-mouthed in celebration Of a victory
abroad to which they had contributed
nothing.
From every part Of this county We hear
Of good weather and . full vote, the result
of active exertions by both parties. Th'
Democratic calculations prior to the In
diana elections were upon total Demo
cratic vote of 10000, Republican, 1s, 500
doubtful, 800. 1t was presumed that the
western elections resolved larger portion
of the doubtful vote against us, but up t.
within the past week it was expected tha
tho Republicans would not get their vot,
out more fully than the above. 1t looks nov
as though the total vote would reach 80, 600
and that of this the Democracy have poll
ed about 10,50O, the Republicans abou
19, 800, and scattering 22O. The Republi
can majority will be about $3.50. Th'
increase in the Democratic vote is heavy
and as usual will be found. We believe, t.
be above the general average increase o
the state.
1t would have been greater but for til,
malignant partisanship of some of the Re
publican election officers. Where they hat
power they exercised it shamefully to tn,
exclusion of Democratic voters who wer,
qualified and to the admission of illega
Republican votes. In Mannheim TOWNSHIP
one John N. .Eby, a Republican tax collector
took tax and gave receipts in February 1879
after he settled with the commissioners
Democrats who had paid him state o
county tax within two years were refuset

ceipts ; Eby swore that the taxes were pai'
and Judge Livingston decided that the.
had a right to vote. The matter will no
be allowed to stop with this ousrageou
treatment of qualified voters, some o
whom have voted for over thirty years in
this district.

Pennsylvania polled the largest vote
yesterday ever cast in the state. The ag-

nearly 100, 900 more than was ipolled in
1876. Philadelphia gives Garfield a major

AND now comes a report that the Ameer

The report is not very definite, but it ap,

ameer and his alleged subjects should be
postponed until they are we'll out of the

even nominal responsibility in connection
with the maintenance of what passes for

A FRENCH engineer asserts that the
fatigue of the eye when reading by the
aid of artificial light is due more to the
want of light than the excess; for the
pupils are more dilatcd in a room bril-
liantly illuminated than they arc by day
light, and dilation produces fatigue of the
muscles controlling the mechanical part of
the organ of vision. He suggests that,
as the electric light contains a large pro-
portion of chemical rays, the remedy may
be found in the use Of yellow-tinted
| globes for the lamps.
