THE ELECTION IN 1884.

The Importance of the election in
Ohio cannot be nnderestimated in its
influence upon the Presidential con-
test in 1884.
The control of tie House Of Repre-
sentatives of the 4Sth Congress is Of
the most vital Importance since it
Will have the counting of the electo
raj vote.
A decided Democratic majority
will obviate all such complications
az those which surrounded the TIL
n.Hayes contest, by which fraud
ulently elected President was impos-
ed upon the country.
A review of the political strength
of the two parties at this time will
not be embarrassing. In the last
Congress the vote stood as follows;
Republicans. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. lao
Democrats ..... 1877
Greenbackers ann Independents :. 10
Total. 293
The Greenbackers and lndepen
dents were all Republicans, making
the vote practically:
Republicans. i6o
1OLal. ..'..'' $500 '''' ~"
By the new apportionment the
House stands 1916 members, giving
about an equal increase to each party
or 172 Republicans and l53 Demo
crats--a Republican majority of 10
votes. This is based of course, upon
the present status of the House.
The result in Ohio gives the Demo
Gratis gain of ten over their present
representation. We have lost two
in West Virginia, which still leaves
US with a clear gain OF eight men,
bers. Take eight from 172 leaves
l64, and add 8 to l53 and we have
l61.
This does not include the Demo.
cratic members from Southern States
who were unseated without "rhyme
or reason" but who will be on hand
to claim their places before Demo
cratic house.
With the almost certain triumph
of the Democratic party in New York,
Pennsylvania and Indiana, there is
not a shadow of doubt but that the
next House of Representatives will
show a majority for the Democratic
party Of at least twenty Eve Votes.
But this hopeful and encouraging
outlook should not lead our friends
into Indifference and negligence.
On the contrary it should nerve
them to renewed vigilance, activity
and industry, and bring them out to
swell the majorities and make sure
and permanent the victory that is at
our doors.--[New Orleans States.
SOMETIMES it is not judicious to
be too particular in locating local &C.

that the following conversation was

clerk:
"How do you sell these2" at the
same time holding up before him a

"Those are worth SIS pair" he
answered.

A Negro Shot and Instantly Killed

Yesterday morning report reached the
citv that a negro man had been killed the

wsv, went to Jesup on Thursday after
noon for his wife, who had been living with
a negro named Dave Williams, and induced
her TO accompany him on the way freight
train going west, which left Savannah on
the morning of the 10th. David Williams
discovered the absence of the woman, and
suspectiug that they had gone up the
road, he followed, aud when the
train stopped at Dale's Mills, No. 6Z, he
entered the compartment Of the car set apart
for colored persons and found Houston
sitting there with his wife. He walked 10
to Houston, and, drawing pistol, fired at
him without word Of warning, shooting
him IN the head and killing him In
stantlv. He then Jumped from the car
and ESCAPED, The body OF Houston

AROLD ROBBERY.
A Supposed Customer Draws Pistol
on a Dealer, SeiEes a Watch and
Riees.

Last evening, about S O'Clock, one Of the
boldest robberies that we have ever chron-
icled was committed on Broughton street,
where scores of people were passing to and
fro. About the time mentioned q well
dressed white man entered Msscher's
iewelry store on Broughton street,
near Whitaker, djoining Ravens art gallery,
aud asked to see some watches and chains.
A number were put out on the show case
for his inspection, and he ca efullY exam
ined several Of them. There was no one
in the store at the time but Mr.. Mascher,
and he was behind the counter, leaning
over giving the prices and other information
about the watches. The customer suddenly
drew pistol and presented it point blank
at Mr.. Mascher's head without
saving a word. Mr.. Mascher jumped
back, and IS he did so the man seized
one of the watches and chain and
dsrted out Of the store. Mr.. Mascher
quickly recovered from his surprise and
gave the alarm. Mr.. Ravens was standing
in the entrance OF his gallery at the time,
and hearing the alarm and seeing the man
rush out OF the store he OWNED something
was wrong and followed the fellow, who
dashed around Whitaker street IN full run.
He was pursued some distance. but darted
down the lane and managed 10 effect his es-
cape Considering the early hour and the
fact that there were so many people on
the street, It was certainly daring act.
