MOBILE, ALA, Aug. "A Montgomery
special says: Madison county gives eight
hundred majority for the Democratic
county and State tickets; St Clair county
sixteen hundred majority, Etorrah county
two thousand majority, Toga county five
hundred and fifty majority and Loundes
county twelve hundred majority. Lee
county gives five hundred majority for the
Democratic State ticket, but is mixed on
the county and Legislative tickets be-
tween the Democrats and Independents.
Shelby county gives one thousand major
ity for the State and county Democratic
tickets. Limestone county is largely Dem
ocratic on all the tickets. Elmore county
gives three hundred and fifty Democratic
majority. Marriage county twenty-eight
hundred majority and Jefferson county
gives the Democratic State ticket five hun
dred majority, but ia doubtful on the Leg
islative and county tickets. Monroe. ln-
dependent, beats Phelms, Democrat, for
Judge in Jefferson county. Bullock
county gives the Democratic ticket nine
hundred majority; Perry county four
teen hundred, Macon eighteen hundred,
Blount fifteen hundred, Tuscaloosa fifteen
hunored, and Chiffon eighteen, majority.
Conecuh county gives the Democratic
State ticket one thousand and the Demo-
cratic county ticket three hundred major
ity. Butler county elects Powell, Demo.
crat, by seventy.six majority and gives
the rest OF the Democratic ticket an over
whelming majority.
LATER Ali reports show an immense
Demo cratic majority. There was no reg
ular organized opposition in three-fourths
OF the counties, and the Democrats in
contesting for the county Offices with
each, brought out all the votes. The
Democratic State ticket received the BEN
eft OF this great local struggle and will
have majority OF over 60,000. The
Greenback and Independent party was
organized in but one portion
of the State, and that was the counties
composing the district now represented
by Congressman Lowe, Greenbacker.
Madison, Limestone and Morgan counties,
which gave him majOrities two years ago,
gave handsome Democratic majorities this |
year, and the Greenback State and Coun- |
ty ticket will probably be defeated in |
every county Of the district. The Demo-
Gratis will elect all their Judges and Chan
cellors, and nearly all the Legislators and
county officers.

is every likelihood that commercial SEN
sation will soon be upon US. Rumors
were current on the street this morning
that several heavy Pittsburgh dealers have
been caught short, and that some OF them
were very badly pinched. In an inter.
view with one of the firm OF E. Fl. Myers
& Co., the gentleman said there was no
doubt but that the corner had bought
largely for twelve dollars on contracts
that have since been delivered at $40. He
believed 1t quite possible that the corner
would succeed in sending the price to $50.
He had heard the rumors that some Pitts.
burgh dealers had been badly squeezed,
but he did not think any Of them were in
extremities.
That some OF them are in the pool il not
denied, but it Is claimed that none OF them
have received mortal injuries. There
were reports that one well known firm
had made an assignment, but upon inves.
tigation these reports proved 10 be un.

Grain Crops Of Russia aud Our Trade
with Antigua.
WAsHINoroS, August 4.-The Consul
General Of the United States at st. Peters
burg, in recent dispatch to the Depart
meut Of State, presents lamentable pic
ture Of the condition of the grain crops of
Russia. Hail, drouth and insects have
combined to render the prospects for the
present year far more dlscouraging than
they have been for many years. The ex'
portation of grain during the first four
months OF the present year was 100000
bushels less than for the corresponding
period last year. Railways in Russia, he
incidentally remarks, are constructed for
the purpose OF moving troops, and not for
the development OF internal resources.
The Consul OF the United States ut An
tigua, West Indies, reports to the Depart
ment OF State that most gratifying In.
crease OF trade exists between the United
States and Antigua. The exports IRON
Antigua to this country during the frsl
six months OF 1879, amounted 70 l7O6S5,'
4l, For the corresponding period OF the
present year it was 1854, ISL So. The in
crease would have been greater had moi
some sugars remained in store nearly
ninety days awaiting transportation. The
imports from the United States are in
cIeasing In q marked degree.

large number Of visitors to-day. At

tack OF nausea, and vomited. This left
him weak and he complained OF bitter
taste in his mouth. Soon after he drank
three ounces OF ice water and then slept
three quarters Of an hour. AT half past
four he had another fit of vomiting, but
seemed to feel better after it. Alto he got
out OF bed, dressed without an effort and
read the morning mail, in which was a
letter from Arkansas, stating that the
writer had wagered $500 that he would
succeed, and promising half the amount II
would hold out. He then drank one and
one half ounces OF water and slept for
thirty minutes. On awakening he re.
marked somebody might have tampered
with the water, as he felt bad after drink.

a Man Who Means Business-who Will
Take IIimUp?

.PtTrsBuRGH, August 4.
To he Editor of The Piltsburgh telegraph:
During my stay OF few days in your
city I have frequently heard a number OF
Democrats boast that they will elect their
man; next, that they will carry New York; F;
that Pennsylvania is doubtful, etc. AS l
intended to risk something on the result, l
will make the following wager, and hope
some Of the "unterriled" will take me up:
First, will bet S. 600 that Pennsylvania
will give Garfield 10000 majority.
Second, 5000 that New York will give
Garfield 5000 majority.
Third, Sl5, 900 that Garfield will be elected.
These amounts can be raised II desired.
These bets must be taken by one individ-
ual, or by one individual representing a
party-that is there must be only two rep.
resentatives to the transaction-myself
and the taker.
Any one wishing to accept can find man
aud money both ready, bv addressing, or
calling on, from August Goth to 25th in.
