THE ELECTIONS.

The returns from the State elections
ara as yet incomplete, and anything
like a decided result is out of the ques-
ton. In New York the Democrats
have carried their State ticket. The
Legislature is very close SO far, and is
claimed by both parties. In New
Jersey the Republicans are ahead. In
Wisconsin the Republicans will win by
a handsome majority. In Mississippi
the unterrified seem to be in the ascen-
dant. From Virginia there is nothing
definite, both parties running close.

room was densely crowded. A remark

Lord Chief Justice Cole-idge's sum-

throw discredit on the point on which
the defense relied, that LEROY had not
pawned the pistol, and showed entire
disbelief in the prisoners assertion that
a third person was present in the rail-

The Eureka Leader of Monday says {:
We are panied to inform his many
friends that Mr.. Anderson suffered a
severe relapse yesterday, probably
caused by his premature appearance on
the streets last Friday and Saturday.
After hours of painful restlessness he
became unconscious at about 1 o'clock
yesterday morning, and remained in
that condition until 1880 O'clock in the
evening. At times during the day it
seemed that he would be unable to
breathe much longer. In his uncon-
seriousness he would beat his breast and
head with his hands and talk incohe-
rently. At about o'clock he recog-
nized his wife, who, for the first time
since the cowardly attempt upon her
husbands life, was completely pros
trated. The patient afterwards i'm
proved slightly and slept from till
this morning, but we fear the worst
danger is not yet passed.

VirtuOus Hedging

Human nature is remarkably true to
itself, says the New York Herald,. no
matter where or how the lot of indiviG-
ual specimens happens to be east. One
of the noted robbers known as the
James brothers has just been virtuously
killing a companion because the latter
said something against the fair name of
a woman. Probably the fellow deserv-
ed to be kill-such men generally do
but the public would hardly have sought
his executioner among outlaws. When
studied carefully, however, Mr.. James
high-toned conduct bears remarkable
resemblance to that of some gentlemen
less vulgarly but more largely noted for
getting property without the consent
of owners. Every man wants to get
even with his conscience, and perhaps
Mr.. James was doing some virtUous
hedging. AS he never stole a railroad,
he had net money enough to pay offa
church debt; as he had not made a for
tune by selling inferior goods at super
ior prices, he could not leave great be
quests to benevolent societies; so he
"hedged" in the only way left him.

Nashville Banner, Monday.
Intelligence reached the city late yester-
day evening of the drowning of Kent FL.
McNutt the polite and efficient clerk of the
secretary of State. at Mr.. Hiram Vaughns
farm, three miles up the river, yesterday
afternoon, at 4.30 O'Clock. The particulars,
SO far as could be learned, are as follows
Mr. McNutt David Vaughn, Thomas Jack
son and John jackson were in the river,
bathing. They had been in about ten min
utes when McNutt attempted to swim across
the river and was seized with cramp.
He called for help, and John Jack
son went to his assistance, but saw it
was too late to save him. His body was
found this morning at o'clock about
twenty yards from where it was last seen,
and brought to the city. Mr. McNutt's re-
mains will be conveyed to Franklin to-
night, for lnterment tomorrow morning
Mr.. McNutt was eighteen years of age. Thus
has sad misfortune snatched highly
esteemed man from the heyday of life into
the darkness of the tomb. Mr. McNutt
was the third son of the late James
McNutt and his wife Sailie Hines, of
Franklin, Tennessee. He had been in
the employ OF the secretary of state for
| about two years, beginning with the ad-
Ihilhotid'ioIi VI ooi- tliafies N tIbDs and
reappointed by Col. d. A. Num-. To
both of these gentlemen he had given the
highest satisfaction, Col. Mum often saying
McNutt knows more about the office than
[ do" He was remarkably handsome, as
gentle and modest in his demeanor as a
young girl, and of fine intellect He bid
fair to assume an important position i'll pub
lie estimation, and gave the greatest salts
faction to every one he came in contact
with. We deplore the death of Mr. Nc
Mutt, as if he were one of our own family
having known him intimately from his boy
hood To his heart broken mother we can
only say she has our deepest sympathies,
which is poor comfort to one bereft of such
a noble son.
