The Eastern Election.
Special to the Statesman.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 9th.-The lat
est from New York is that the Re.
publicans carried the State l.y at leas,
5000. The Legislature is very close
Senate probably a tie, and eight Re
publican majority in the Assembly.
The latest from New Jersey shows
the Republicans will have a majority
OF hive in the Senate and tie in the
House. In Wisconsin both claim a
victory, but the Republicans assert
they have carried the State by from
two to five thousand. The Prohibi-
tionists drew large vote from the
Republicans.
In Virginia the Readjusters are con.
fldent they have carried the State and
claim they have good working major.
lty in the Legislature on joint ballot.
In Maryland, according to present
estimates, in the Legislature the Dem.
ocrats have six majority in the Senate
and twenty-sevea in the Assembly.
The latest from Pennsylvania is
sdch as to place the result still in
doubt. The Republicans confidently
claim the State.
The Democrats claim Mississippi by
large majority.
Returns incomplete, from Nebraska,
show the State has gone Republican
by large majority.
Reports received from Massachu.
sets indicate that the Senate will
stand 81 Republicans and 8 Democrats;
the House will stand 1874 Republicans
90 Democrats, undecided.

Reports last week from the extreme

lanches will be found, IS there are .
large number Of towns aud settlements
that have not been heard from since

Cattle have died by the thousand
from starvation and exposure, the
snow being 60 deep that it was impos-
sibse for them to get anything to eat,
and the hard freeze even preventing
their getting water to drink.

thaws and the ice gorges are broken
I'D the Missouri river will rise to q
stage never before known and do un-

Dancing.

All the most prosperous churches
and most religious people condemn
dancing. In recent meeting held in
Columbus, Miss. Rev. Mr.. Battle, Of
the Baptist church, eaid: "Tbose who
dance tread on the thin crust Of fiery
volcano" DR.. Staioback, of the C. =.
church, said: If l bad sous l would
rather see them employed in saloons
than have my daughters 60 to Balls. +"
Rev. Mr.. Steel, said: "When ~y

tract the Young gentlemen by her
bead and not her heels" Some think

Mr.. W. H. Harris, Commissioner
of Agriculture aud Immigration of
Louisiana, requested the members Of
the Press Association to pablish in
their respective papers answers to q
large number of questions propounded
by him, relative 10 the parishes il
which they are Published. 10 reading
over aud attempting to answer these
questions, we find it impossible to an.
swer them correctly unsssisted by
Others, for many of our answers would
be mere guess-work without such as.
sissauce For instance, we do not
know what wages are paid mechanics
aud laborers, amount of capital in.
vested 10 stock raising and what the
annual profit lie, what sized tracts Of
land can be purchased and at wba,
price. the price Of improved land and
what it can be rented at. Therefore,
we will b very thanbsul to parties
who will furnish Us with such infor.
NATION.
As soon as we have collected all
the information asked for relative t.
our parish We will publish it, but We
have no idea when we can begin the
publication. When we do we will for
ward q copy of the BEACON to Mr.
Harris. so that he may gather there
from the information be desires.
This work may prove Of great al
vantage to our parish, and we hops
our citizens will render % all th,
assistance 10 their power in getting
up these statistics, especially thos'
who sre more directly interested il
the matter than We ere. LIE: us q

other effort in this direction or not.
