inhabitants, it is probable there will be no
U. S. deputy marshals here tomorrow,
though that is by no means certain, as Gen.
eral Malone says they will be appointed
wherever needed. Supervisors, however,
have been appointed, but that they have no
right to interfere in the slightest degree
with anything at the polls is shown by the
law which authorizes their appointment,
which is as follows:
"The supervisors of election appointed
for any county or parish in any copgression-
al district, at the Instance of ten citizens, SO
provided in section POLL, shall have no auth
ority to make arrests, OF TO perform other
duties than to be in the immediate presence
of the officers holding the election and to
witness all their proceedings, including the
counting of the votes and making return

Gordon 8 Prisoner.

A dispatch from Carlo says the Mahdi in
the beginning of September, hearing of the
advance Of tho British forces, made su-
preme effort TO reduce Khartoum, which
place at the end of September was sur
rounded by 10000 rebels. The supplies
failing, the garrison began to waiver. A
depulaiion of officers complained bitterly to
General Gordon that they had been de-
ce.yed by promise of British assistance,
aud they accused him Of aiding in the de-
ccption. The deputation also demanded
that a retreat be made to Dongola, and
TIN eatened that if this action was not taken
they would join the Mahdi. Gen. Gordon
:heieupon consented to the plan proposed.
Meanwhile panic arose, and eight thou
sand soldiers and civilians deserted in
body. Two thousand men remained faith
FIJI and embarked with General Gordon.
The rebels were advised Of what had &C.
Cured, and harassed the retreat to Shendy,
where masses of rebels, provided with ar
rilery, disabled the lotilla. Only Colonel
Stewards vessel succeeded in passing Ber-
ber aud shortly afterward it was wrecked.
The remainder of the lotilla was obliged to
return southwark, and on reaching Shendy
the entire force was captured. About the
9Th Of October General Gordon was sent
under strong escort to the Mahdis camp,
where he is now close prisoner.
Great anxiety is felt about the report, but
outside dispatches point to Gordon's con-
tinued occupation of Khartoum. If the re-
port should prove true, it would effect
total reversal OF the political situation in
England. The Foreign Office dscredits
