RATTLESNAKE KILLED.

S. R. Gateroy, colored, who lives on the
place of John A. Thomas; in the vicinity Of
Clark's Fork, informs us that on Wednesday
of last week, he killed rattlesnake two feet
long and having eight rattles. The snake
was first discovered by Mr.. Thomas, who
saw it crawling from hollow stump in
field, presumably to enjoy the luxury of
February sun bath.

THE BERGERS.

Bergers Elite Concert Company gave hn
entertainment last Thursday night to very
good house in Female College Hall. The
music feature of the programme-and music
is the Bergers' specialLy-was excellent. The
selections by the cornet hand were faultlessiy
rendered, and the cornet solos by Mr.. Hcl.
brook, and the saxophone solos by Miss Eta
Morgan, were performed in creditable style.
Solos on the xylophone and either were also
we'll rendered In her recitations, Miss Ma.
rie Bowen displayed fine talent as an elocn-
ZIONIST. But probably the most entertaining
feature Of the evening was the ventriloquial
performance of Mr.. Charles w. Brewster.
Not alone did he keep the little ones in ronrs
.of laughter at the sayings and actings of his
block head" family, but much that these
interesting manikins appeared to utter in
serio comic way was enjoyed by the older
persons as we'll Mr.. Berger promises to
visit Yorkvlle again about April, when his
company will be augmented by commedian
and perhaps other attractions.

-- The following, from Washington cor
respondent, will give some idea of the prepa-
rations and grand sights which will meet the
view of visitors who attend the inaugural
ceremonies in Washington on the 4th of
March:
With the exception of about $4,000, which
was to be expended for fire works, the money
necessary for carrying out the plans Of the
inaugural committee has all been subscribed.
From advices received by the committee, the
inaugural promises to he a grand success, and
every effort is being set forth to make it the
most elaborate affair Of the kind in the his
tory of the country. The new National Mu-
scum, in which the ball is to be given, is
building of one room, but little less in size
than the National Capitol, covering two and
three eighths acres of ground. Addressed pine
flooring is being laid throughout the hall,
which is being waxed. The limit of the num-
Der of tickets of admssion-8,00 ,000-provides
for about six square feet to each person,
which will prevent the hall from being over.

cally arranged in order to meet all require.

heated with steam and lighted with gas. The
music will be the best that can be secured.
A band of $50 musicians from the East has
already been contracted for. In view of the
expense attending the preparation, no compli-
mentary tickets will be issued, except to Pres-
dent.elect Garfield and his family. The
work on the decoration of Pennsylvania ave.
nue. will be begun at once, $4,000 having
been given for that purpose. The escort of
the President.elect will consist of about 20, 900
militia and II companies of regular troops
and marines. Previous to the ball a recep
ton will be held in the Museum building by
General and Mrs Garfield, President and
Mrs. Hayes, and General and Mrs. Grant.
General Hancock has also been invited to
take part in the reception, and it is thought
from assurances received by the committee
that he will accept. General Sherman will
be grand marshal of the parade, and will
make the presentation at the parade.

States recorded, when the tellers then pro-
ceeded to foot up the votes cast for President
and Vice President. Senator Thurman then
said: "The Tellers report that the whole
number of electors appointed to vote for
President of the United States was 1863, of
which majority is 1876. Were the votes of
the electors for the State of Georgia cast on
the second Wednesday of December 1880,
being the 9th day of said month, to be count
ed, the result would be: For James A. Gar
field, of Ohio, for President of the United
States, 2l4 votes, and for Winfield S. Han
cock, of Pennsylvania, for President of the
United States, 155 votes. If not counted, the
result would be: For James A. Garfield, 2l4
votes, and for Winfield S. Hancock, Ia votes.
In either event James A. Garfield has re-
ceived majority of the votes of the whole
number of electors appointed" Senator Thur
man made a similar statement relative to the
vote for Vice President, "Wherefore," said
the Vice President, 81 do declare that James
A Garfield of the State of Ohio, having re.
ceived majority of the votes of the whole
number of electors appointed, is duly elected
President of the United States for four years,
commencing on the 18th day of March, 1881 !;

In the Senate on the 10th, the bill appro-

ton and 4 Light VOte-ProbabIe
Democratic Success in Penn
syiyanid and Wisconsin.
DANIEL MAKING A GALLANT FIGHT.

At this writing, 5 A. NJ, the returns
from the elections held yesterday are
not lulI enough 10 enable Us 10 announce
the result in all the States. 1t is certain,
however, that the Democracy have car
ried New York by majority which will
not varymuch from 10000, and secured a
Congressman by the election OF Flower
over Astor in the Eleventh district.
The result in Virginia is still in doubt,
both parties claiming the State with APP
parent confidence.
In Massachusetts, Gov. Long, Repub-
lican, is re elected, and in ConneGticut
the same party carries both branches OF
the Legislature by 4 decreased majority.
The Democrats elect their ticket in
Mississippi, while the Republicans carry
Minnesota. In Wisconsin, returns from
from one-fourth OF the State show a
Democratic gain OF 5000, and it is pro-
bable they will carry the State.
In Pennsylvania Wolfe has.polled sn
unexpectedly large vote, and it is
thought Noble is elected. The result in
Virginia is still in doubt. Daniel has
large reported gains, but it. is doubt
iul ii he can overcome the co-alation.l

MURDER MOST FOUL.
FOUR WHITE MEN KILLED BY NEGROES
A Black Mob Baricade Themselves in a
House and Defy the Sheriff
and His Posse.

MERIDIAN, Miss, November S.-Four
white men were killed and two severely
wounded by negroes to-day at Marion
Station, III this county. The negroes
opened fire on the whites at the polls
while the election was going on. The
whites had no arms, and conse.
quently no damage was done the ne.
groes. One man killed was A. 7. Har-
vey, the Democratic candidate for
County Assessor. The sheriff, with a
posse from this place, found about one
hundred negroes barricaded in the
dwelling house OF their leader, Ed.
Vance, and were fired on by the negroes
as they approached the house. An
other armed body OF men have gone
from here to the scene to assist the
sheriff. Otherwise the election in this
county is quiet and orderly.

New YORK, November S.-A Rich
mond special to the COmmcrcioi AdrertiSr
says: General Malone telegraphs here
that the prospects throughout the State

RICnMoND, November S.-This city
gives Danies 352 Democratic gain. Man
chester, Camerons majority is l55, a
Read djuster gain OF 3S.
Lynchburg, Daniels home, gives him
9S4 majority, Democratic gain OF 493.
RICuMoSD, November Sup to $50
this evening 81 voting precincts in the
the State were heard from, including
Is from Richmond. They give John
W. Daniel, Democrat, for Governor,
lO,4SO; William T.. Cameron, Read
iuster, for Governor, SIPS. Daniels
majority, 100. The gains and losses
will be estimated in these dis
patches upon the Presidential vote
last year combining the Rsadjuster and
Republican vote against the Democratic
vote in the last November election.
This comparison shows a very small
gain for the Democrats in tie precincts
heard from. The Democrats will have
to overcome nineteen thousand votes in
the State TO elect the State ticket.
Norfolk gives Cameron 453 majority,
Readiuster gain oi 50 Danville gives
Cameron II majority.
FREpEKIC iSBURU, Va, November s.
The election to-day was closely contest
ed, and iull vote poled. About one
third Of the cOlOred vote was cast iOr
the Democratic ticket, but the Readjust'
ers have made an equal gain OF whites.
In the counties OF Louisa, SpOttSylvania,
Stafford and King George, it is probable
the Read justers have gained Senator,
electing, also, three delegates out OF
four.
RICHMOND, November S.-The election
in this rItv is progressing quietly. A
heavy vote is being polled, nearly 5000
ballots having been cast up to 80 Z. NJ.
The COlored vote here is almost solid for
the RtadiusterS or Coalition ticket.
Only meagrc reports have been received
from other poinrsiu the State. In thecitips
OF Petersburg, Cameron 5 home, Lynch
burg, Daniels home, and FrederckS-
burg, and the counties OF Carolina, Chcs-
tertirld, and Hanover, large
number OF negroes are reported to
have voted the Democratic ticket. No
reliable returns, however, can be ob-
tanned until after the vote is counted.
Leading men on both sides in Rich

OF their respective tickets.

Flipper case yesterday, the defense en-
deavored 10 show the treatment Of
Lieutenant Flipper while in the guard
house at Ceiland, in close confinement.
Col. Shatter was prompted by spirit by
not warranted by the customs OF TIE
army. The court objected to this mode
of examination on the ground that it
had nothing TO do with the otiense, il
any committed, and it was not within
the province Of the court to mitigate
punishment. The objection was with
drawn finally, and Col. Shafter stated
that before relieving Flpper from the
commissary department, he thought him
perfectly honest, and OF good habits, and
il money had been stolen it had
been by some one else. He further
stated that previous 10 the investigation,
Flipper's administration had given en-
tire satisfaction. On the 10th OF August
Fiippcr was seen in town with horse
and saddle bags, possibly preparatory to
a journey. Flipper was ordered back
Immediately, and to turn over the funds
on hand. Within two or three minutes
after entering his quarters, some two
Thousand dollars was found on his desk
ready for delivery. Gould not say
whether it was in the sadde.bags when
last seen or not Learned since that he
generally kept the public money in his
quarters instead of in the Office safe.
Had always examined the accounts

sidered important, as but few Cthces
are to be Tiled. and the chief one, Judge

lidate nominated by both parties, Judge

2.Ol2 majority. Msttock and Sommer,
Democrats, for County Commissioners,
each received over 100 majority.
The total vote of the city is little
over q, 900, or less than half the ordi-
nary full vote. The failing off was not
more OF surprise than the defeat OF the

ROME. November S.--The Dp',ow
saws: In spite OF the extenuatIng eN
plantations Of Count Eon kallay, King
Humbert's visit TO Vienna must be re-
garded AS a late ministerial repentance
for the irrcdentist agitation, and not as
an important diplomatic success:
A semi.oiicial telegram is published,
stating that Count Won kallay, Aus
trian Minister of Foreign Affairs, has ex-
pressed regret that such an inexplicable
version OF his speech to the Hungarian
delegation had been published at Vienna.
That he repeated his declarations that
the friendly relations exI sting before his
royal visit were thereby demonstrated.
and that in the future there would br
nothing to be asked or feared from elth' r
side in the relations between the two
countries. The Vienna correspondents
apparently think Count Won kalIay )
remarks were in some degree as first re,
ported. The affair has created bal
impression.
