The Seif-Reliant Democrats who vote
as they think right must smile with con-
tempt, OF course, TO hear 1t used as an
argument that either "the South or "lbe
North" Is with or against their party or
their opinions. But there are weak NOR.
sals who may be deferred, perhaps, nom
giving effect TO their real sentiments by
tue fear or the feeling that In SO doing
they will be going against their own part
OF the country. Senator Conkling's
whole speech Oh Friday night was ad-
dressed TO such persons. To them we
commend the follOwinf table OF the
Democratic votes cast at The last Pr ST.

A PERTINENT INQUIRY.
Fromahe New Work Worid, Dem.

Wefespeetfnlly submit to the Re-
publicanar jthmetic men this little
sum in politics: If Maine gives a
Democratic majority after having
been manipulated BY Blaine, whom
the Poland committee hon orably
acquitted of all participation, direct
CT indirect in the Credit Mobilier
job, how large a Democratic; ma
must be expected next month from
Ohio under the manipulation of
Garfield, who was not only convicted

AN OFFICIAL CANVASS PROBABLY
NECESSARY TO DECIDE WHO'S
ELECTED. .

PORTLAND, Me, September 20.--An
Augusta despatch says the election re
turns, SO far as received, give Governor
Davis apluralIty Of about 200 votes
There are still several towns and plan
tations to hear from, and there are some
discrepancies in the returns received by
telegraph, which make 1t difficult to a.
certain tie exact result of the election.
1t is evident, however, that the vote is
close, and il is quite probable that only
the official canvass Of the returns will de-
eide who is elected.

From the above, counting West Vir-
ginla as Southern State, it appears
that so far from the Democratic party
being chiefly a "Southern" party, the
large majority Of its members are citi-
zens Of Northern States. Sixty-tWo and
one-third per cent, or five-eighths of the
entire Democratic vote of 1916, came
from the Moth, and but three-elghths
from the South. The cry, therefore, of
"Fhe South and lis Northern allies,''
which is considered 80 useful a cam
paign argument by Republican platfor-
mers aud stumpers, has about the same
amount Of truth in it as their latter-day
claims Of "victory" In Maine.-N. Y.

Mr.. Bettis is in a good state of
physical and mental preservation; his
mind is as clear and his eyes as bright
as ever they were, and he can make
and take a joke with as much relish
as younger people. He takes great
interest in the current events of the
day, and reads the newspaper with
great relish. His recollection of the
past events is very clear and distinct,
and he is we'll posted in all recent
public transpirations. lie walks about
considerably, but spends much of his
time reading. His hearing is some

was coming over to the Times Office

feel young again. He has been living
for long time in New York, but

Eaton among the rest. Great appre-
tensions were felt for the public
safety and it was nothing but the firm
stand taken by few cool, resolute
men that prevented serious trouble.
Judged by the Jeffersonian test: "Is
he honest, is he capable?" Shaw
could not hold any Office. he was
elected wharfmaster once, and partly
by the votes of white democrats, who
then had more confidence in him.
The Office was badly managed and
returned only about half the revenue
to the city that it did afterward for
a corresponding period in the hands
OF the present incumbent. There was
either dishonesty or incompetency,
itnot both. Colonel Eaton supports
this sort of man because he is colored,
and because he is a republican. If
SHAW were a democrat he would not
support him, and if Shaw were white
andstill a republican, he would notsup.
port him with the same zeal. Shaw is
to be forced upon us, if possible, as a
further punishment. The republican
leaders Of Shelby county never con-
sented to the enfrauchisement of the
whites, which took place little over
ten years ago, and their real feelings
toward this class are now expressed
in the zeal with which they support a
vicious colored politician for the
office of sheriff. They have showed
their hand, but they will regret it.
Shaw will not be elected, and he will
not be sheriff.

NEW YORK.
a Startling Disaster-Twenfy-One
Men Buried Alive
Seven Rescued.

New YORK, July 2l.-At five this
morning the caisson leading to the
enclosure of the Hudson river tunnel
constructing at Sixteenth street, Jer-
sey City, caved in, carrying with it an
immense quantity of earth, and bury
ing twenty-one men. Seven were
soon after taken out bruised, but not
seriously, and rescuers were laboring
hard to reach the remaining fourteen.
Meanwhile the water from the river
flowed in rapidly, and the steam FIRE
engines were set to work to save those
who might still be alive, from drown
ing. The workmen resided in the
vicinity Of the tunnel, and very
large aud d4cited crowd of persons
soon cougregatsd.
The shocking disaster occurred at
half-past 5 this morning, Twenty
two men lost their lives, while eight
had the utmost difficulty to escape.
The night gang of thirty men, in
Guiding Assistant Superintendent
Woodward and two foremen, entered
the shaft at midnight, the hours OF
work for this gang being from II to 8
o'clock. The depth OF the shaft is Go
feet, and while most of the men were
employed at the bottom Of the shaft,
about One-third ofthem were engaged
on the brick wall Of the arch, 25 feet
higher. 1t was the latter squad, all
bricklayers, that escaped, except two.
The main arch of the tunnel runs out
from the shaft distance of about 80
feet, whenit opens into two distinct
arches, that are to form the tunnel.
Through some negligence of the men,
it is supposed, the air lock was not
properly adjusted when the process Of
shifting commenced The brick wall

Recent discussions have caused the
following letter to be brought to
light:
HEADQUARTERS U. S. ARMY, J
WASHINGTON, April IA, 10
General w. S. Hancock, commanding
Department Of Dekotah, st. Paul
Minnesota
GENERAL u have laid your dis.
patch from st. Louis before the pres
ldent, who authorizes me to say that
your wishes and claims for succession
to the command of the military diyis
ion Of the Pacific, made vacant by
General Thomas death, were fairly
considered, and also your preferences
tor the department Of the Missouri
in case Of change of its commander
were also made known to him, but he
has ordered otherwise. The president
authorizes me to say to you that it be-
longs to his Office to select the com.
manding generals of divisions and de.
partments, and that the relations YOU
choose to assume toward him officially
and privately, absolve him for regard
ing your personal preference.
The orders announcing these
changes will be made public in a very
few days, and they will not touch the
department Of Dakotah or the military
division of the Missouri.
| am with respect, yours truly,
w. I. SHERMAN, General.
Itseems that the cOolness between
Generals Grant and Hancock grew
out of Hancock's course in Louisiana.
and is therefore highly creditable to
the latter. He was compelled to leave
Louisiana, and was treated with a
GOODNESS at Washington amounting to
discourtesy. He was sent to the far
west to get him out of the way, and
the letter above is but continuation
OF the treatment to which he had
been subjected ever since he avowed
his respect for the constitution and
the laws Of the country. General
Hancock could not be used as the tool
of the radical party, and, therefore,
was considered little better than a
traitor. He preserved his dignity, his
self-respect, and the respect of 9th
crs through all these trying times,
and has come back to vex and tor
ment the party that would have put
him aside forever. The day of retri-
button is at hand, and it is but a
measure of poetic justice that General
Hancock should be elected president
over the man who for base party pur-
poses proposed at one time to reduce
the number Of IN, jor generals in the
army.
