BALTIMORE, November S.-The cleo
tiOn in this city yesterday was unusually
quiet and light vote was polled, being
over thousand less than at the mu-
nicipal election two weeks ago, when
the total vote was 35,000 little more
than half the registered vote of the city.
The only State officer voted for was
Comptroller. Members of the Legis-
latuTe, sheriff of the city and
city surveyor were also elected.
The vote for Heating OemocTat)
for Comptroller, was 23,318; for
GOrsuch Rep.) 1880; Keating's major
ity, 1865. The Democrats elected all
their candidates in their three legisla-
tive districts of the city, comprising
eighteen members of the lower House
! and also Senator for the Second dis
trict. Returns from the counties are
very meagre, but there is no doubt OF

THANKSGIVING.
The Proclamation of President
Arthur.

WASHINGTON, November THE fol-
lowing proclamation was issued from
the Department of State to-day:
BY the President of the United States
of America: A proclamation. It has
long been the pious custom Of our peO-
pie with the closing of the year to look
back upon the blessings brought to
them in the changing course of the sea-
SONS, and to return solemn thanksgiv-
ing to the all-giving source from whom
they flow; and although at this period,
when the falling leaf admonishes US
that the time OF our sacred duty is at
hand, our Nation still lies in the shad-
ow of the great bereavement and mourn
ing which has filed our heart, still
finds us sOrrOwful in expression toward
the God before whom we but lately
bowed in grief and supplieatiOn, yet
the countless benefits which have been
shoWered upon US during the past
twelve months call for our fervent graft
tude and make it fitting that we should
rejoice with thankfulness that the Lord
in His infinite mercy has most signally
favored our country and our. people.
Peace without and prosperity within
have been vOuchsafed to us. No Gpesti-
lence has visited our shores The
abundant privileges of freedom which
our fathers left uSin their wisdom are
still our increasing heritage, and If, in
parts of our vast domain, some affliction
has visited our brethren in their forest
homes, yet even this calamity has been
tempered and in manner sanctified by
the generous compassion for the suffer
ers which has been called forth through
q out the land. For all these things it is
meet that the voice of the nation should
go up to God in devout homage.
Wherefore |, Chester A. Arthur, Presi.
dent of the United States, do recommend
that all the people observe Thursday
the oath day of November, inst, as day
OF national Thanksgiving and prayer, by
ceasing so far as may be from their sec.
ular labOTs and meeting in their several
places of worship, there to join in as
cribing honor and praise to Almighty

A Light Vote and the Result
Doubtful.

MILWAUKEE,, November S.--The State
election to-day has been the quietest
ever known. The returns from the
State show that hardly One-half of the
full vote has been poIled, and the ma
jority of the winning party will conse-
quently be very small. The Secretary of
the Republican State Central Commit
tee says that returns from 172 towns
and the city of Milwaukee, including
all the large towns of the State, show
Democratic gain of $500.

NEW YORK.
The State Democratic by a Good
Majority.


NEW YORK, November 8.-The voting
to-day has been going on under rainy
sky. The vote pOlled is not large. The
day has been very quiet. In the city
the chief interest has been in the con-
test between Astor and Flower in the
Eleventh Congressional District, which
takes in the rich and aristocratic upper
part of the city. The contest has been
bitterly fought on both sides, and
fabulous stories are told of the money
spent in the canvass. The returns are
late, but thus far indicate that Flower
Oem.) is elected to Congress over AstOr
Murphy in the Ninth Congressional dis
trict, Fernando Woods old district, is
defeated by John Hardy Oem.) by a
large majority. The returns show that
Hustled Rep.) has fallen 5000 behind his
ticket, and is undoubtedly beaten. In the
interesting contest over the Office of Sur
rOgate in this county, Rollins Rep9
seems to have 1900 over Walker
County DemOcratic), who leads Calvin,
Tammany, the present incumbent, by
$500. In Brooklyn the vote between
Howell and Lowe is close. The Demo-
Gratis in the State claim both branches
of the Assembly by a small majority.
The Democrats claim majority of 15,-
600 in the State. The election of
Rollins, Rep, for Surrogate over Calvin,
is defeat for John Kelly and Tam
many.

STRONG ENFORCEMENT.
4 Medical Journal Sustains the Treat
ment by the Surgeons.

PHrlpELPHIA. October The following Is
, sketch of n editorial from the October num-
her of the Medical Nsrs aud ib,iraef With re-
gard to the official autopsy. II says:
ave know aow beyond the possibility Of a
doubt that no human skill could have averied
the fatal result: but we find. moreover. thai
even in the searching light OF the careful and
thorough posimortem examination, it is dif-
iicult. if not impossible, TO suggest any modi-
ica,ion OF the treatment, even in the minor
points. which would have made il better adapt
Ell 10 the exigsncies of the case"
Then follows long, detailed description OF
the case from the shooting until the death Of
the President aud which is summarized as fol-
lows:
al That the treatment at the time Of the re-
ception of the injury and Immediately subse-
quent to i, was that rendered proper by the
condition of collapse which then existed.
- That on reaction taking place q suf-
feienty thorough and careful examination was
made with the finger and the probe.
- That when the consulting surgeons were
,lled in and found that this had been done
they very properly and in accordance with we'll
established and universally recognized rules OF
surgery refrnined from repeating that examna-
ton.
a. That even if these rules had been disre
garded and such exa animation had been made
il wou' d have determined nothing of practical
importance as regard the subsequent treatment
'5. That wherever pus accumuIa ion had
taken place, they were properly opened by free
inC,sions made at the most dependent portions
&c That these ncsions dr,ined not only the
course of the ahscess but communicated freely
with that portion of the spine which had
been penetrated and, therefore, with the track
Of the ball and the completeness of the drainge
is shown hy the absence Of pus accumulations
either in the locality traversed by the bali, 0,
in the lilac or lubmar regions.
'7. That tie drainage done to the car Gel lated
tissue of the lumber ver,ehIa was sufficient in
itself to explain the septic state of the system
which in time, and independent of the ball
which proves 10 have become harmless, would
have destroyed the life of the patient.
''If it be thought that these conclusions need
to be subsiantated by more detailed acquai /.
'ance with the surgical history Of the case, it
may be said that such history giving minu.
telv all the particulars Of symptoms and treat
ment is now in process of rapid preparation,
and in our opinion will serve to confirm and
9 rengthen the above assertions"

We have been informed of great deal of
angry recrimination and disputes which
occurred outside of the convention which
are not mentioned in our report, which is
from one of The city papers. From the
developments at this convention, it seems
hardly reasonable to expect that Prince
Georges and Calvert will give their full
Republican support to the nominee of the
convention, indeed the delegates from
those counties have openly predicted a
large detection in their counties. So that
it is manifest that all is not lovely with
our Republican friends. All this results
from not taking the advice of the TINES
and following the example of the Demo
Gratis in maintaining the judicial ermine'

against insidious whisperers," no doubt
because before he came to church he had
been reading in the World the names OF
the political characters who during Satur-

was engaged in rumaging over law papers
in old trunks. In the sermon which fol
lowed this prayer, Mr.. Beecher admins
tered queer tonic mixture of sacred and
prnfane biography concocted in a man
ner of old Latimer at PauFs Cross to the
new President. After commencing Sam
son and Saul he went on to say that 'Af
ter Saul came in the reign of craft and

As will be seen by our report elsewhere
the Republican judicial convention held
at Bowie on the 29th ult., was not partic-
u'arly noted for its excess OF harmony and
brotherly feeling; in fact it seems to have
been quite stormy affair, beset on all
sides with serious dissensions and por-
tentious disgruntlement. AS predicted
by the TIMES two weeks ago, no action
was taken for the position of associate
Justice and this seems to have been the
cause of the serious disturbance that fol-
lowed. 1t seems that the delegates from
Calvert and Prince Georges, went to the
convention with their hearts set upon ma
king nomination for the associate JUS
ticeship, and each of those counties had,
as we stated some time ago, candidate
in contemplation for that place. But the
delegates from st. Mary's and Charles
went there with the sole purpose of nomi-
mating Chief Judge, and determined in
their purpose OF preventing any action as
to the associates place. BY skillfull man
agement, one recruit was obtained for this
purpose from the Prince Gesrge's delega
tion, and history repeated itself by another
2 to decision. This was not effec ed,
however, as will be seen by the report,
without serious and probably disas
trous dissention. Mr.. Belt. of Prince
George, one of its most prominent Repub
licans, and two other members of the del
egation precipitately and angrily bolted
the convention, leaving only Mr.. S. T.
