New AmalgamatOr

A novel amalgamator has recently
been patented which promises to do
away with many difficulties expert
enced with the processes heretofore
in use. The invention consists in
the combination with a trough faced
with amalgamated plates, and pre-
vided with inlet and outlet sp0uts
and a Slated partition, of a longitu-
dinal shaft revolving in the trough,
and provided with amaIgamated
plates arranged at right angles to
one another. A trough faced with
amalgamated plates is provided with
a shaft running the full length of the
trough. To the shaft amalgamated
stirring plates are attached as above,
the same distance apart as the width
of the plates. The revolving OF the
shaft stirs up and separates the con-
tents.

long enough to cut the lariat and

the corral.

The Republicans Claim the State by al
Least Twenty Thousand.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-W. U. Hensel,
chairman Of the Democratic State commit
tee, has issued the following
"The Republican majority in Philadelphia
exceeds the most sanguine Republican cal
culations. 1t wipes out all our estimated
majority. but the country districts hold up
to our figures, and until the western coun-
ties are heard from I do not concede the
State to the opposition"
Chairman Cooper, of the Republican State
committee, estimates his party has carried
the State by not less than 10000 majority.
He says the returns come in so slowly that
the exact result cannot be ascertained until
morning.
Pittsburg dispatch says returns from
Allegheny county are coming in slowly, but
those received indicate that the Republican
majority will be S,OO0 The vote has been
rather light, with Republican gains re-
ported from all sections. The election
passed off without any disturbance and at
this hour, 11:30 P. NJ, the streets are almost
deserted, and unusual quiet reigns.
Complete returns from twenty-eight of the
thirty-one wards of this city show net Re
publican gain for the State ticket of 1875.
The majority in the city for the State ticket
is about 1900.

Artillery in Use at Danville to Preserve
Order Among the Voters.
DANvILLE, Nov. 6.-After the mayors proc
lamation announcing the arrangements for
preserving peace, and stating that those ar
rangements were deemed enough ard relia-
BILE, Wheeler, acting chairman of the Liberal
Coalition party, and George c. Cabell, chair
man of the Democratic party of the city, re-
quested the mayor, as an additional means
for keeping peace, to forbid any assembling
of men of either party, white or colored, at
public speaking, parade or procession, until
the 8th inst. These orders were issued. A
message from Gov. Cameron was received by
City Sergeant Wood, last evening, stating
that he, the Governor, had ordered troops to
Danville from Richmond. Captain Wood
replied, after consultation with leading ciUi-
zens, that it was not thought necessary to
send troops. This morning the Richmond
Light Infantry, Blues, and a section of the
Richmond Howitzers came from Richmond
A piece of artillery was planted on Main
street. near the Arlington Hotel. The Coali-
tion judges of election having declined serv-
ing others were appointed. A very few
negroes voted. Not more than a dozen votes
were given at one ward where they have a
large majority.
Indications are that the Democrats have
carried the State, as the returns at hand
show considerable Democratic gains Official
returns from eighteen precincts of Richmond
and the estimated vote OF the
remaining three precents show
total vote of about 13000
and an average majority for the Legislature
Manchester gives Democratic majority of
440, a Democratic gain of 166 over Massey
and Wise's vote last year.
A dispatch from Winchester says the
Democrats carried that place for the first
time in seven years, and that the
Democratic majority of the county, Frederick,
will be 1000. The following cities also give
Democratic majorities: Portsmouth, 350
Staunton, 321; Alexandria, 633; Fredericks
burg, 291; Lynchburg, 40 Charlotte
and Halifax counties, which, in the
last election, were carried by Coali-
tionists are reported as having gone
Democratic gaining 900 and 100 respectively.
In the Chesterfield senatorial district the
Democrats made large gains, and expect to
elect Warwick over Flanagan, Coalitionist.
This would gain one senator.
The most hotly contested senatorial dis
trict in the State was also carried by the
Democrats. The contest was between Cen
eral William G. Wickham, supported by the
Democrats, and Colonel A. w. JONES' Re
adiuster The Democrats expect
to have majority in the Senate, and prob
ably in the House of Delegates. The Goa
litionists, on the other hand claim that
they will control the House by small ma
iority and the Senate by one or two.
Neither side, however, has as yet received
information enough to justify any positive
statements.

SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 6.-The reception to
Robinson at the Springfield city hall, at 10
o'clock this evening, was an unprecedented
ovation for this locality. He came
from Chicopee by special train, and
was escorted to the hall by band and
committee, and was introduced as the first
Governor Massachusetts ever elected from
Hampden county. He could not begin his
speech for some minutes because of the ap-
plause. He spoke less than ten min
utes, saying This contest ends not in the
triumph of one man, but of the people, and
that a new party has been created to-day
the party of the Commonwealth.
The cause was just one,
and, under the circumstances, the triumph
was inevitable. Our opponents must feel
satisfaction in being relieved of the irregu-
larities of the present administration, which
they cannot excuse. We have made this be-
ginning to-day, and in the future we can go
forward hopefully in the endeavor to serve
the whole people,"
As soon as Robinson had finished there was
a general handshaking fo1 a few minutes,
and then 1000 people escorted him through
the main street to the depot, and as he took
the train the band played ''Auld Lang Syne."

Gus damage in the country east of

The Herald says: This finishes Butler.
Massachusetts has spoken in earnest and
with full voice, Never more be officer of
mine 1t is true, he has not been able per-
manently to injure Massachusetts, for his
power is limited and her institutions are
strong. The disgrace was in electing him.
The State will survive and look with shame
on this wild Butler frolic when Butler is

victory for party, but for all citizens who

fused to bow the knee to the demagogue who
captured their organization. Those who did
yield have rolled in the dirt for nothing.
They have helped to deal deadly blow at
their party, and fail to receive the promised
reward"
SPRINGFIELD, Nov 6.-The Republican will
say: 1.-The people respond not guilty to the
infamous charges of Governor Butler. Let
all the world take notice that Massachusetts
has not had a loose, dishonest, extravagant
or corrupt administration. Massachusetts,
is not yet given over to the ignorant-foreign
born or foregn-fathered."

Causes of the DanvilIe Riot.

Interview with Senator Malone.
Senator, have you any objection to state
your opinion as to the causes which led to
Saturdays disturbances in Danville?" asked
the correspondent
II will tell you," replied the Senator
'The troubles in Danville were manifestly
preconcerted by the Bourbon managers with
a view to provoke collision of whites and
negroes, so that colored men might be dia-
bolically murdered, as they were. 1t was
simply a part of the same spirit that prompt
ed the murder a few days ago of n leading
colored man in Madison county. That man
on refusing to vote the Bourbon ticket was
ordered out of his employers house. and he
lett politely and without any disturbance.
The employer followed him into the street,
saying Damn you, I'll shoot you, anyhow
The colored man opened his bosom and said:
We'll, sir, kill me if you will and the en-
ployer fired and the cOlored man fell dead.
1 am advised that in Hanover and Charles
counties like murders have taken place re-
Gently"
"Do you think that all these murders grew
out of political feeling?"
II have not the slightest doubt about it.
The whole thing has been done for the pur-
pose of intimidating the colored people in
what is known as the black belt to prevent
them from going to the polls to force the
race-issue to the last extremity. In the
meantime the Bourbon managers are filling
those sections of the State in which the
