The Vote of Fexss in NOvember.
From the Galveston (Texas) News, Jan. 10.
The count Of the vots of this State for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor
shows that Governor Roberts received
$500 votes less than Lieut.. Governor
Storey.
There Is DO reason that the second
name on the ticket was voted for by Re-
pablicans or Greenbackers, and II ia to
be presumed that the first name on it
was scratched by Democrats to the ex.
tent Of the above difference. As the
personal popularity of the Governor is
not questioned, his relative deficiency
in votes must be charged TO his whim.

migration and taxation.
The entire vote cast for Governor In
November was 264, 204, being 1855
more votes than were cast for Governor
in 1877. Ofthis gain Governor Roberts
received 100, and the Republican and
Greenback candidates 10 1856. The
GreeDback candidate received % 3G7
votes less than in 1877, while the Re-
publican gain in that year amounts to
~, s53, the vote for Governor Davis be-
ing "a, 3S2 in 1880, against 23,529 for
Newton in 1877. At this rate it will
only take two years longer for the Re-
publicans to absorb the Greenbackers.

Charlie Ross Az aim.

Westervelt, who on Oct. 9, 1875, was
sentenced to seven years imprison-
ment, on charge of conspiracy to kid
nap Charlie Ross and extort money
from the family, was, on Thursday, re-
leased from the Eastern Penitentiary.

"Do think sthat Charlie Ross is
dead'" said he in answer to a question; !;
"Why should |! | Ihave,never heard Of
his death and neither have you II the
people who had him were enabled to
keep him several months without being
discovered, why couldn't they keep
him for years just as safely1 Why, he
might be in any of the foundling asy-
lums in New York city, and who would
be the wiserH The police have newer

might not find him." Here he 'enter

Tina AInEuA.

The storm Of Thursday night and yes
terday was ssverer in New York and
along the coast than in this city. In
New York, snow and elect fell, as we'll
as rain, and the heavy costing of ice on
the trees and telegraph poles broke
down branches and wires in all direc-
tions. The breaking Of the telegraph
wires caused an almost total suspension
of business at the Exchanges, ana
travel on.ths streets WAS impeded by
the distractions caused by the severity
Of the storm.
A telegraph repairer in Brooklyn
was fatally injured by the breaking OF
pole, while he was trying to clear the
wires attached to it.
Along the New Jersey coa't the wind
reached a velocity of SO to so miles per
hour. The Mammoth Hotel in course
of erection, and partly built cottage
at Asbury PARK. were demolianed by
the wind. The storm continued last
night, ard brig was reported ashore
near the Highlands.

A Point of Law.

John T. Wood appeared before Mag
istrate Cole last evening with charge
of assault and battery against John
Hammond, Jr. The case had been
tried before the Mayor on the previous
evening, and fine OF So and costs had
been imposed upon Hammond, not.
withs,anding the fact that q notifica'
ton from Esquire Cole to the 4ffect that
it was the desire Of the plaintiff to
have the case settled before him, had
been presented in accordance with 8
statute provision bearing upon the
case. The Mayor concluded the case
only when he had procured legal opin
ion.
At the 'Svuire's office, last evening,
Henry Il. Pennington appeared for
Hammond and submitted a paper set
ting forth the case, and objectiDg to a
new trial on the ground that 1t had
already bsen sdjudicated. With the
paper was a transcript of the mayors
docket, having the trial as conducted
before him. The Squire, convince 1
that the statute would bear him out in
his action, concluded to 60 on with the
trial. Mr.. Pennington waived hear.
ing, whereupou Hammond was held in
$500 for his appearance at tie next
term of the county court. MIR. Wood
then brought 40 barge Of using abu
sive language and making threats. To
this Hammond plead not guilty. He
was, however, held in 5000 bail for fu
ture good behavior towards the plain
tiff.
These cases grew out Of a fight be-
tween the young men, which occurred
on Thursday afternoon at the Second
Street market house.

Dear Brethren 1T has been more
than two years since accepted the

To build up a church under such dis

Gods blessing, the church has been
abundantly prospered. More than 100
persons haye been added by confirma-
