4 vigorous campaign has been commenced
against the lottery establishments IA New
York city, with a view Of totally extlrpatIng
them. The first demonstration has been
against tho Louisiana State Lottery Compa'
nv and its agents. whose property, including
bank accounts. has been seized by the deputy
sheriff on a warrant granted by Judge Dan
els. for Sl73, 900, at the suit OF Abraham o.
jackson, who, il is alleged, spent upwards OF
5000 for tickets since 1876. The prece-
dent for granting this warrant is the ecison
of the Court of Appeals in a suit against the
kentucky lottery, started in Rochester and
carried BIZ 4. H. Simmons 10 The Appellate
Court. The principle there affirmed was,
that double the amopats paid for tickets and
costs could be recovered as penalty in the
event of an adverse decision against the lot
terry people, and this penalty Simmons had to
pay. Its estimated that the receipts from
these lotteries amount to upwards OF ; L., OoO,-
600 per gnnum.

The Virginia State Republican Com
mitteo met in Richmond on Tuesday and
decided to put straight-out Republican
ticket in the field. This action will make
a triangular contest like that Of last fall,
when there was regular Hancock ticket,
a Readiuster Hancock ticket aud a Gar
field ticket in the field, and the result in
November will be similar to the rusult last
November, when the regular Democrats
carried the day by a good majority. The
regular Democrats this year viii poll majo-
rity reaching probably $4,000. Lewis, the
Republican on the Readjuster ticket, will
draw some votes from the Republicans ia
the Valley, and his name will drive many
readjusters with the regular Democrats.
Thus he will weaken the Readjuster and
the Republican parties, and strengthen the

IOWA ELECTION.

DIES MONIES, Oct. 11.-Returns come
in slowly, owing to the prevalence of a
storm. The State Register has partial
show a falling off of 25 per cent. in the
total VOTE The three parties are about
equal in in relation to loss. The re-
turns are mainly from scattering town
ships. Only two counties are reported
with any general returns. One of them,
Webster, is reported as electing Wright,
republican. to the legislature; the first
republican since 1869. Jasper reports
the whole republican ticket elected.
The legislature two years ago stood 81
republicans to 10 democrats, in the
house: and Al republicans to demo
Gratis, in the senate. Indications are
that the republicans lose 2 or mem
bers in the house, this year, and hold
their own in the senate, with a proba-
bility of gaining one or two.
This would give the republ cans some
nine majority in the legislature. The
republican state committee estimates,
at this hour, the republican majority
over the democrats to be $4,000, and
over all parties $4,000. The green
hackers seem to have held their own
contrary to expectations.
DUBUQUE, Oct. 1.-THE returns are
very meagre, showing light vote in
all the northern towns. Only fourteen
towns are heard from. but all, with the
exception of Clayton, give republican
maiorities Ia This county the democrat
ic state ticket, so far as heard from has
majority of 955, with FIVE democratic
townships to hear from. Groves, anti
amendment republican, is elected state
senator by majority of 1,200. Tire
democratic representatives are elected.
Waters. republican, for county treas
urer, is probably elected. with fair
chance for Schloth, republican, sheriff.

counties, alrnos. complete, give Sher-
man majority Of 81, go The re-
manning thirty-five counties last year
gave Garfield % 600 majority. 1t is
estimated by the republicans that Sher-
mans majority will be 60,009. The
democrats concede 10000. The repub-
licans estimate that the senate will

Daniel Mehster,e Descendants.

A CORES pondent of the Washington
Post gives interesting details of Daniel
Webster's descendants. He says:
Daniel Webster had but three chill
dren-Edward, Fletcher and Grace.
Edward, who never married, was killed
in the war with Mexico; Fletcher, who
was killed at the first Bull Run, mar
ried Miss Caroline Story White of
Salem, Mass; Grace, married Samuel
Appleton of Boston, Mass. The chill
dren of Fletcher and Caroline were
Daniel, Ashburton, Grace, Julia and
Carrie, Daniel died childless in early
manhood; Ashburton died unmarried
in 1877; Grace and Julia died before
reaching maturity; Carrie, the widow
of James Geddes Davis died at Marsh
field, Mass, on the 10th August, leav-
ing no children. Thus it will be seen
that there Is no lineal male descendant
of Daniel Webster who bears his name.
Mrs. Fletcher Webster is now lying
quite low at Marshfield, grief-stricken
for the loss of her last and favorite
child. The child en- o. Grace Webster
and Samuel Appleton were Samuel,
Daniel, Carrie ard Julia. Daniel died
childless from the effects of a severe
burn; Samuel married daughter of
the late General Ambercrombie, and
now lives in Massachusetts; Carrie
married Mr.. Newbold Edgar of New
York, and after his death Colonel
Jerome Bonaparte; Julia married Mr..
Armistead of New York. As these
children with the exception of Daniel,
still live, it will be seen that there are
two granddargnters and one grandson
of Daniel Webster alive at the present
tine. They are Mrs. Bonaparte, Mrs.
Armistead and Samuel Appleton

internal affairs of Egypt.
THERE are approximations of financial
trouble in Germany, where the losses OF
gold for the past six months may force a
resort to paper currency.
A COLLISION between the police and
peasantry occurred at Athenry, Ireland,
in which one man lost an eve by bayo-
net thrust. A riot occurred at Ballyrag-
get Sunday, two peasants being fatally
wounded.
SIR GARNET WoLsELEY has written a
letter protesting against the English
channel tunnel project. He hopes that it

danger to England.
THE fight between the French and
Arabs on the road to Kairwan was yirtu-
ally a victory for the NATIVES, as the
French lacking water and provisions, had
to retreat to Sura. There were 5000 men
on each side.

ported to have said few days ago that il
Parnell tried to obstruct the fair working
of the land act after it was once in ope-
ration, he would recommend the arrest of
Mr.. Parnell; that that gentleman would
be kicking his heels in Kilmainham be-
fore MANY weeks.

Welded AMONG THE CLOUDS.
EIopement and Marriage of n Daugh-
ter of Gov Hamilton Of MARYLAND

ter of Gov. Hamilton, Of Maryland
Society circles here are agog over
the recently discovered marriage of
Miss Clara Hamilton, aged II, daugh-
ter of Gov William r. Hamilton, to
John Stanhope, aged 20, which was
solemiZed in August last. The tan
hopes and hameltons live near each
other in Hagerstown, and it was known
that young Mr. Stanhope had been pay
ing attentions to Miss Hamilton. The
governor objected some months ago to
the young mans attentions, and the in
course between the young couple was
apparently broken off, About the
middle of August, however, the lovers
planned an elopement. Yovng Stan
hope went to Westminster, Carroll Co..
and obtained license and the services
of a Methodist Clergyman, the Rev.
DR.. hurry, who agreed to marry them.
1t was arranged that the ceremony
should be performed at Pennmar, a
summer resort on the summit of Blue
Ridge mountains, few miles from
Hagerstown. One day plesure party
went to Pennmar, Miss Hamilton being
of the number, and on her arrival she
was lIitb ny OtdilllOpb bllu TIC OlGlSJ
man. They went up the side of the
mountain to High rock, said to be the
most elevated point in the state, being
more than two thousand feet above
the level of the sea. Here among the
clouds the marriage was solemnized,
and the young couple returned to their
companions as though nothing of
importance had occurred. Since that
time they have lived at their respective
homes. 1t is said that the fact of the
marriage was discovered by friend Of
Gov. Hamifton,s, who happened to
look over the records at the courthouse.
Mrs. Stanhope has been kept closely
secluded at her fathers country house
cince thediscovery, but it is probable
that the stern parent will have to re-
lent. The groom is a son Of Mr.. Lewis
G. Stanhope, superintendent of the
Shesrpeak and Ohio cadal, and is a
cleark in a Baltimore commission
house. The brides family, which is
one of the oldest and wealthiest in
Maryland, are very indignant. 1t is
said the bride will have $4,000 in her
own righte when she comes of age

The case of Chas. ]. Guiteau, was
calledin the United States court for the
district of Columbia, in Washington, on
Friday morning, and after the read
ing of the indictment by the clerk,
Guiteau plead not guilty. The district
attorney asked that the trial be set for
Monday, Oct. 18th. Counsel Scoville,
for defendant then addressed the court
at some length, asking for time and for
the making of provisions for paying
of the defendants counsel and wit
nesses. C>-ing the course of his re-
marks Scoville said that r. l.. Merrick,
a Washington City lawyer, had con-
scented to argue the question of juris-
diction; but that the points of defense
would be two: LIST. That Guiteau was
insane, and %. That Garfield did not
die from the effects of the wound
received July ID The court gave until
November 9TH for the defense to get
ready for trial. The remarks made by
Scoville show that the defense will not
give up without a struggle. The points
of the defense are the strong ones, and
it will be a more Difficult. thing to con-
Wet than the district attorney has been
expecting. No doubt conviction will
be had in the emo but it is not going to
be short job. The defense will show
that insanity has existed in the family
for generations, they win show that de-
PENDANTS father, and all his relatives
have for years regarded him as man
of unsound mind, they will show by
dozens of other witnesses that they re-
garded defended as insane. In short,
the defense can present an unlimited
amount of good evidence of insan-
ity-abundance to convince any jury
had not the person killed been the pres
ident
The second point has been greatly
weakened by the autopsy made after
the death of the president. While the
defense viii have dozen, or more, of
Bliss Bulletins which state that the
president is doing well, and that mis-
wound is causing no trouble, and much
more of this sort of nonsense, there re-
mains the autopsy, which is far more
exact. and which shows TO the satisfae-
ton of nearly all men that the pistol
ball caused the death. The insanity
dodge will be the difficult point for the
government to meet.
