CHICAGO, Nov. 26-The grand jury remain
ed in session until midnight, counting the ball
lots in the second precinct of the 18th ward
Thongh Judge Blodgett authorized the count
ing OF tue congressional vote only, the senate
rial vote was also counted. Thera gas made
the astounding discovery that Brand, Demo
crat, had received 493 votes, or "a votes more,
and Leman, Republican, 1876, or "a less than he
was credited with on this lace of the retlras.
Nearly or quite 200 ballots were found to be
straight Republican, with the exception only
thai Brands name was substituted for Leman.
This ticket was O facsimile OF the straight
Repnelicao, and pastors we're used TO only a
limited extent. This practic ally disposas of
the Cry of fraud. Brand will undoubtedly
tRke his seat. The legislature is thns Demo
cratic on JOINT ballot, with q majority Of two,
and the next Senator will be Democrat.
The federal grand jary resumed its ingesti
gstion as to tbs alleged frauds in the second
precinct Of the 18th ward of this city this
morning According to the face Of the re-
tarns, Brand (Dem.) received plurality over
Leman (Rep) Tor the STATE Sepste, of over 200
votes. The jury called before it large 1um-
ber OF persons, all OF whom declared positively
that they voted Republican tickets with the
pame OF Leman printed on them, and nearly
300 persons have been summoned, who claim
that they voted the Republican ticket, while
the ballots show Leman received less than 200
votes.
After hearing additional evidence, the jury
adjourned until Friday. The local papers viii
tomorrow state there is good authority for the
assertion that the jury found indictments
against three judges aud Two clerks OF election

crate easterly gale b. gan. The vess il was then
shifted to the nortb-northeast and increased ia
severity. AT noon on the 10Th the captain
wore ship, heading to the eastward, the gale
at this time having grown to be fuTious
storm. At o'clock in the evening the cargo
shifted, the vessel going on her beam ends.
The captain wss lashed to the wheel, the cabin
was full Of water, and the end of the foreyaFd
was dragging in the sea. The mate, Mr. In
gals, was checking IL braces wheR a great
wave swept over tne vessel and eAIstsu him
overheard. No attempt could oe MADE t, Save
him. He disappeared immediately, aud a
boat could not have lived a minute in the rag

longitude 70, north OF Hatteras, and about OF
posite Albemsrls Sound. Fer twelve hours
Captain Holmes rem aimed lashed to the wheel,
all through the night the storm showing no
signs OF abstsment until morning. Then all
hands went into the hold, and by rsadjusting
the Cargo righted tie vessel, and brought her
to the vi ind again.
The rest of the voyage was stormy but there
were no more gales of similar fury. Fortu-
nately the weather during the storm was not
very cold, and the water, on the edge of the
snlf stream, was warm; otherwise the expos
ure might have been serious if not fatal
matter Tor the hardy sailors.

various professors of the institution, all of
which represented their departments to be in
The most fiourishing condition and everybody
hard at work and fully prepared for the long
closing term of the collegiate year.
The trustees were greatly grstified to find
that the expenditures for the past two years
had been kept strictly within the appropris-
tion made by the lats State Legislature; al
though this was very small the rigid economy
exercised by the officers OF the institution has
made il cover all the OUTLAWS. The number OF
students in the present Freshman class ex-
ceeds those of the past few years.
The trustees voted to ask the next Legsls-
ture for an appropriation for the erection of
building suitable to accommodate the Agricul-
turs and Natural History departments. The
valuable specimens owned by tue Institution
are increasing every year, and the acoommoda-
ttons Tor them are now comparatively small.
The need OF more room for both departments
has been felt for a number of years, and after
the case is presented to the Legislature the
officers of the institution bslievB that the an
preparation will promptly be made.
