PHILADELPHIA, November 6.-The wealth
er to-day is fine, and the indications are
that a much larger vote will be polled in
the State than anticipated by the party
managers. The contest in the State pre-
sents no issue other than the regular one
between the Republicans and Democrats.
The candidates on the State ticket are
jerome b. Niles, Rep, of Tioga county,
and Robert Taggart, Dem, OF Warren
county, for Auditor-General, and Wm.
Livery, Rep, of Allegheny county, and
Joseph Powell, Dem, of Bradford, for
state Treasurer. The Greenback and Pro-
hibition parties both have candidates in
the field for these places, but their vote is
sc small and their organization so dis
tifbuted that they viii not be a factor in
the fight 1t is Hgreed between the Demo-
cratic and Republican sides that all COM
parison of figures shall be made with last
year's election for Governoru The COM
bined vote Of Beaver, Rep, and Stewart,
Ind, viii be set against that OF Patterson,
Dem, so that gains for the Democrats to-
day will mean gains as against the full
Republican vote. The Democrats will
have TO gain some 1000 on full vote in
order To elect their ticket to-day.
1880 O'Clock P.M-0niy twenty-foug
counties out OF sixty-seven have been
heard from. These SHOW net Republlcan
gain of 46l4. This does not include the
county Of Philadelphia, the returns OF
which are coming in very slowly.
w NJ. Hensel, chairman OF the Demo
cratic State Committee, has issued the fol
loving; "The Republican majority in
Philadelphia exceeds the most 'sanguine
Republican calculations. 1t wipes out all
our estimated majority, but the country
districts hold up to our figures, and until
the western counties are heard from do
not concede the State to the opposition. u
Chairman Cooper, of the Republican
State Committee, estimates that his party
have 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.
Ills O'Clock A.M-Complete returns re-
ceived at the Associated Press Office from
sixty-four of the sixty-seven counties in
the State, give Niles, Rep, for Auditor
Genera. majority Of l5,443. The three
remaining counties-Bradtoro a c,se,St ~: :. and
Sullivan-will increase the Republican
majority about 100.

being polled, the main fight being between
the candidates for Governor. The Repub-
lieans renominated the entire present
State officers, with Gov. Hubbard at the
head of the ticket. The Democrats nomi-
mated for Governor Norwegian, A. Bier
mann, and as over four-fifths OF the Re-
publican votes in this State are OF that
nationality, the Democrats hope to make
close fight for the office. Gov. Hubbard
had a majority of $4,000 the last time. and
leading Republicans claim 10000 for him
this time. Few Democrats eoneede more
than 5000.

IRVING AND ABBEY.
The Great Actor After the Great Mana
ger for More Money

NEW YORK, November 5.-A reporter
interviewed Ex-Mayor Hall Yesterday, and
said: 'Mr. Hall, you have expressed your
self, see, in the papers here as very well
pleased with Henry Irving"
Yes, said the ex-mayor, land / dined
with him and some friends this evening,
and found him very agreeable gentle
man, as well as an eminent actor"
'An effort will be made, l suppose, 10
bring Miss Terry into the society of New
York ?'' s
'erhat is already being. DONE" said Mr..
Hall, 'but do not think that it will sue
ceed. Mr.. Kelly, Miss Terry's divorced
husband, is in England, and Mrs. Broad
rib, who was formerly Mrs. Irving, also
remains abroad, and while Mr.. Irving and
Miss Terry are staying in different parts
of the city, it isn't probable that New
York society will take up either"
"By the way" said Mr.. Hall, / hear that
Mr.. Irving and Mr.. Abbey have already
had some words concerning their contract
and its results in America. Mr.. Irving
it seems, is being paid only at the rate Of
So a seat during his engagement at the
Star Theater, while it is well-known fact
that the majority OF the seats have been
sold at three and four times this price
Mr.. Irving, it is said, has gone so far as tc
accuse Mr.. Abbey of sharing the profits
with spectators. Whether this is true OIL
not, he is naturally indignant at the diff
ference between his profits and his man
ager's. Mr.. Irving says: why, Abbey,
did not know you were the manager of ar
operahouse in this city, OF theater in
Boston, and that you have so many oppor.

portion of the harvest What the result
will be-" said Mr.. Hall, 81 do not know
but it will not be strange if an open rup

outgrowth of the present state of feeling

RocKDALE, TEX, November 6.--Last
night, few miles ont, two men with black
faces attacked the house of German
named Herman, emptying their six-shoot-
ers at the family, who were at supper, and
then rode away. Walter Herman was
shot, and is nov in critical condition.
There is no clew, but the best opinion is
that the assailants were white men bent
on robbery. The recent excitement over
the reported uprising of the colored people
in this county led some to attribute the
outrage TO negroes.

Richmond.

RICHMOND, November 6.-The election
in this State is the most exciting since
1869, when the Conservative party organ
lied. Half the Senate and the entire
House OF Delegates were elected. This
Legislature reapportions the State for Con-
gressional representation, and elects most
of the heads OF the State departments.
The new Senators vote for a successor to
United States Senator Malone The race
issue was never before so strongly marked.
A dispatch from Charlottesville says the
Democrats claim the county by a large
majority; also, that as far as heard from in
the State there have been majorities for
the Democrats. A man from West Vir-
ginia was there to-day giving the colored
men incendiary circulars and advising
them to vote for the Readiusters and re-
sist the whites. Attempts were made TO
arrest him, but he escaped. Leading Re-
adjusters denounce his action.
/ :I5 O'Clock 4. .M-The election in this
State generally passed off very quietly as
far as heard from, although the contest
has been the most spirited in the history
OF the commonwealth. The indications
are that the Democrats carried the State,
as returns at hand show considerable
Democratic gains. Official returns from
eighteen precincts in this city, and the es.
NOiC Vi llit lIlTte pre-
cincts, show total vote of about 13, 600
and an average majority for the Legisla,
ture. Manchester gives a Democratic ma
jority of 440, Democratic gain OF 16t
over the Massey and Wise vote last year
A dispatch from Winchester says the Dem
ocrats carried that place for the first time
in seven years, and that the Democratic
majority in the county (Frederick) will
be 1000. The following cities also give
Democratic majorities: Portsmouth, $50
| Staunton, 32l Alexandria, 633; Fred
ericksburg, POI; Lynchburg, 406. Char
lotte and Halifax counties, which in thu
last election were carried by the Coalition
| lists, are reported having gone Democratic
the gains being 900 and 100 respectively
In the Chesterfield Senatorial District tn,
Democrats made large gains and ex
pect to elect Warwick over Elan
agan, Coalitionist This would b,
gain OF one Senator. The mos
hotly-contested Senatorial district in tn,
State was also carried by the Democrats
The contest was between Gen. William c
Wickham, supported by the Democrats
and Col. A. W. Jones, Readjuster. Th
Democrats expect to have a majority il
the Senate and probably in the House 0
Delegates. The Coalitionists, on the othe
hand, claim they will control the Hous
by small majority and the Senate by on
or two. Neither side, however, has as We

Democratic party OF the city, requested
the mayor, as an additional means OF pre-
serving the peace, to forbid any assenablage
of either party, white or colored, at pub
lie speaking, parade or procession till the
Sth instant. These orders were issued. A
message from Gov. Cameron Was received
by City Sergeant Wood last night, stating
that he (the Governor) had ordered troops
to Danville from Richmond. Capt. Wood
replied, after consulting with leading citi-
zens, that it was not necessary to send
troops. This morning the Richmond
Light Infantry Blues and a section OF the
Richmond Howitzers came from Rich
mond. A piece of artillery was planted
on Main street, near the Arlington Hotel
