The figures at this stage come in q dispatch
from Augusta, which states that the SO towns
and plantations remaining gave last year 2,427
Republican and 3,740 Fusion votes. If these
towns should vote as before. the total vote
would be 1892 for Davis, 72,797 for Plais-
ted and 429 scattering plurality for Davis
sos. and majority over all 166. The very
latest dispatches to the National Committee
indicate plurality of between 500 and 600,
thus confirming this estimate.
The Democrats raised the old rebel yell a
little 200 soon. True. the Republicans have
reason to be sorely disappointed, for they ex-
pected much larger gains. But a gain of
1.OS7 votes, as against the Fusionists, Is
something not to be despised, for it proves,
as conclusively as a larger gain could, that
the nomination of General Hancock has added
no strength to the Democratic party; that
the Republicans, with General Garfield as
their candidate, are stronger than they were
one year ago and that the same effort and
fidelity will insure Republican victories i'm

Dowder over such O result they are partlcu-

Moreover, all the credit for stubborn

cans is due to body of voters who number

Maine, who do not support General Hancock,
and whose sincerity and depth of conviction

HOW HlNCOCKS Success WOULD AFFECi
GOTEKNMLNT BONDS


One fact is worth more than thousand
windy speeches. There is n prominent and
Jealous Democrat in this city who has been
particularly vocferous in advocating the cleo
ton of General Hancock. He did not expect
a Democratic victory IN Maine, he said but
counselled everybody to wait for the vote of
Indiana On Tuesday morning, as soon as
possible after hearing the unexpected news
of so-called Democratic victory in Maine,
he went down to his bankers and gave
orders to sell quietly, and did sell at once,
fifty thousand dollars worth Of United States
four per cent bonds. While Boosting that the
election of General Hancock was now assured,
he was proving what he privately thought of
the consequences by selling out his Govern
ment bonds and he was right. The bankers
and business men of this city were of his
opinion. The price dropped three-eighths of one
per cent during the day. although as yet the
result in Maine was uncertain, and few failed
to see that the Fusion which existed there
did not exist in other States. In London,
also. decline In the price of American Gov
eminent bonds was at once produced by the
same fear of Democratic success.
Yesterday the news became more satisfac-
tory to the Republicans. The certainty that
they had lost nothing, but had gained upon
their vote of last year, and had secured both
houses of the Legislature, three members of
Congress, the next Senator from Maine, and
probably the Governor, caused an immediate
advance in Governments. The four per cent
bonds, which had closed on Tuesday at 1923
bid. recovered their decline, and closed last
night at 110ls bid. The confident Democrat
who sold his Governments and burned his
tar-harrels in rejoicing over another Confede-
rate victory, is sadly contemplating the fact
that he cannot get his bonds back without
loss, and learning that the Democratic party
usually brags more than it works, and prom
isns mora than IL nnrfnrma

makes brief review on another page OF the
manufactures of Newark. reports marked
degree of alarm among both classes OF these
voters at the mere possibility of Democratic
victory, obtained on a Free Trade platform.
The Readusters and Funders of Virginia
are trying to compromise upon an electoral
ticket by novel methods. The Funders have
proposed that each faction shall have five OF
the electors, the Eleventh to be selected by the
National Democratic Committee. This pro-
posal was rejected by the Readiusters, who
suggested a primary election before the No.
vember election, which should test the relative
strength of the factions. The Inference Is
that If it was found that neither cast vote
sufficient to carry the State against the Re-
publicans there should be a union. Look out
for an interesting time if tins election takes
place. The brethren will heap up the tissue
ballots on each other and count till they
bankrupt the arithmetic, and each OF them
will show that, Oh low estimate, they can
carry the State by the orthodox Southern ma
iority-9O, 900. We venture to predict that
the Funders know their fellOw-D Democrats too
well to be ready to go into the business OF
competitive elections with them
1t has been the melancholy duty OF The
TRIBUNE in this campaign to silence Demo
cratic denials with Democratic proof. Wade
Hampton's mouth was closed by the publica-
ton of a card from four of his fell
ow-Democrats. Beethoven was choked into
silence by having fac-simile of his
own letter crammed down his throat.
Now in third case it becomes Deces-
sary to adopt this etfectual but try
ing method of treatment. The Democratic
press having taken pains to deny that Demo
cratic newspaper published at Hot Springs,
Arkansas, recently hOisted the Rebel flag III
its columns, nothing remained but for HE
TRIBUNE to produce the evidence. This
is done in another column, by producing
the exact appearance of that part OF
the paper in which the flag appeared. 1t Will
be observed that the editor wanted to express
his delight at the enthusiastic nature of
Hancock meeting, and so swung out the Stars
and Bars This is the kind of banner the
Arkansas Democracy hang on the outer walls.
What must General Hancock think OF himself
as he looks at it ?

The fascinating ATTRACTIONS Of Chicago as

An irish landlord and his two sons were
shot at last Sunday night III the County OF
Kilkenuy,-not Tipperary rs some newspa-
pers have t,-alld forty-seven nluskcts were
taken by party Of adventurous young men
from a Norwegian bark in Queenstown har-
bor few days after. The English Tory
newspapers and few badly-inforncd jour
mails in tllis country have made both events
texts on Which to preach sermons about the
lawless character Of the people OF Ireland,
their desire for blood, their rnnrderous pro-
pensities, and not a few papers have gone to
the extent of predicting that there would DO
all immediate "rising" in the island. The
English Tory journals, taking their cue from
the Irish landlord organs, are filled with
accounts Of nightly drillings on the hill
sides, descriptions OF mysterious strangers
with goatees slouch hats, and Yankee y
accent, who have been visiting the island
lately. The London Times is Mortified to
find that 400 stands Of arms have been pur-
chased recently in Dublin BY Irish peasants,
and predicts in consequence many calam1ues
to the landlords during the long dark Nights.
To any person conyersant with the situation,
and who has followed the course OF events Ill
the British Parliament since the general
election, the motive Of this furore and these
sensational accounts is palpable. The Lib
erals have failed to renew the Irish Coercion
act; the House Of Lords has thrown out the
Compensation bill; and the landlords, who
purpose eviction or the seizure of the has-
vest GROWN from the seed supplied By
American charity, are afraid that 1t

| evict the farmers or plunoer them
of the fruits OF their toll or the benefits OF
the bounty Of their sympathizing friends.
| The landlords hope by getting up q little ex-

| frightened into renewing the Coercion act.
| Then each exterminator could count on the
constant protection Of several. .Constables paid
out Of taxes extorted from his victims, Or the
| total disarmament OF the peasantry; and III

dent while carrying out his policy OF exter-
| mination and confscation he could reckon On
his fellow-1andlords awarding him large
