VT. VERNON AND COSHOCTON AND
WHEELING RAILROAD.

On the local page is blank form Of con
tract which is proposed to be entered into
between the Board of Commissioners for
Ohio county and the Wheeling and Coshoc-
ton Railroad Company, which, to our eye,
has strange character, to say the least
Is It contract that the county should enter
into at this time? 1t seems to the REGIS
TAR the people had no intention Of making
any such contract when voting for the sub
scriptiOn. until the completion of the road,
when contract would not be necessary but
simply the issuance of the bonds. The
Oaly purpose had by the people at the time
they voted for the subscription, was to
gran, the Board of Commissioners the
right, st the proper time, 10
make loan. TIE proper time is when the
road is built True, it may be necessary to
eaterinto some form Of agreement that the
county viii issue the bonds at the proper
time, but if that be necessary, such an
agreement should not be made in haste or
in loose sort of way. one important
characteristic of such an agreement should
be reciprocal guarantee. The couutys
guarantee that she will execute her part of
the contract is Of the highest quality. The
party OF the other part ought TO be able to
give equally as good guarantee that it will
perform its part in good faith.
The situation ought to be clearly under
stood on both sides before anything def
nate is done, and to that end the
Board will consult toe county's best
interests by not rushing into contract so
important as this without great care and
consideration. 1t is very easy to step into
a quicksand and the reverse to get out. II
business is not done right in this important
matter the entire undertaking may end in
smoke. There is an element in our COM
munity who are watching this matter vigi-
lsntiy and if the Board proceeds without
proper care there viii be an injunction
asked and granted. aud then there will be
a gepiiitiOn Of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
Union Bridge burlesque Of ten years or
more ago. This all is said from friendly
stand point to the road. The K GIsTER
would like to see the enterprise succeed.

The eyeuts Of yesterday have put DIFF

SCENES IN NEW YORK SUNDAY

CLAIMS AND COUNTER CLAIMS.

NEw YoEK, November o. Exclusive +
Such Sundays as this has been are rarely
seen in this country. The church bells
changed their calls on the crisp air as me
lodiously as ever, and crowds fully as large
as the average answered the summons.
The glories Of heaven and the horrors OF
he'll were pictured in glowing words BY elo-
quent tongues. The people listened and
probably resolved and then went home
to talk of fraud in politics" and the evil
ways of those who run for office About
the hotels, in the parks, around the news
paper Offices and on the street corners
crowds of men discussed the situation.
THE Republicans are up to some scheme Of
FRAUD" was an often heard assertion. All
Democrats boldly claimed and many Re
publicans admitted Clevelsnds election
The Tribune refused to yield and there were
various consultations between leading
Republican leaders. Steve Elkins is anx-
iously busy. Jones is not Willing his time
idly away. Something is on foot and that
something means no good to the Democ
racy. 1t is reported to-day that agents OF
the Republican Committee are now at work
in the back counties, and that some curious
revelations may be made. The public
should understand that there is no chance
for fraud after the returns leave the hands
of the County Clerk. Whatever
wrong is committed, if it be CON-
mitied, must be in the counties
Briefly Stated.
Briefly stated the situation is Just this
On the face of all returns Cleveland has a
plurality approximating 1880. All Demo
Gratis claim this; all Republicans admit it.
But Republicans make these claims. First,
that in certain counties the returps have
been tampered with; second, that in a num-
Der Of precincts the Butler votes were count
ed for Cleveland; third, that in one precinct
the majority for Cleveland is 80 more than
the entire voting population of that precinct.
These are the claims they will seek to es-
tablish If they do this Blaine will have the
plurality, prorided the Democrats can show
no offsets. Without arguing or claiming
the certainty of such thing, assert that
Cleveland will receive the plurality and the
Cleveland electors be given the certificates
OF election.

Mr.. BEECHER.

His Views on the Election of Cleveland
The Kind of q Cabinet President Cleye-
land will Probably Haye-The South, and
Possibly the "Indepsndent" Movement,
Should be Represented.
BRoOELYY, November 9.-The Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher was seen at his home
this morning. Passing over the question
as TO how he ie,t over the result OF the cleo
ton (tne answer to that question being
found in the cheerful face OF the great
divine), the reporter asked him as to what
kind of a Cabinet he thought Governor
Cleveland would choose.
mo one knows Mr. Beecher replied,
anything about his Cabinet; but we know
the man himself, and his nature is such
that we are satisfied he will have the ablest
and the best men in the country. But |
am not half so much interested in the Cabi-
net that he will make, and that he will have
time TO select, as am that he and his Cabi-
net, and the best members ofthe Democratic
party, should take this opportunity now
to bury the dead and to go on up, on to a
plane OF administration so clean and clear
and wise as to make gulf between the
old Democratic party and the present Demo
cratic party as wide as that between Laza-
rus and Dives. | believe if this admins
ration with such chance, shall fail to
meet the expectations Of the country, they
will be swept out Of power ANONYMOUSLY in
four years. But ifthey are wise enough and
strong enough, TO give us an advanced, an
ennobled administration and policy. | hope
they may hold power from four years to four
years, until they shall become corrupt, and
that then there viii be raised up Indepen-
dent Democrats enough to put them where
the Independent Republicans have put the
old Republican party
at has been sneeringly stated, said the
reporter, "by some of the late Blaine Re-
publicans that the Democrats have not got
enough able men to go round and fill the
offices"
Mr.. Beecher smiled and continued: Il
hope that his Cabinet will contain some,
aud not a small number, Of the ablest
Southern statesmen. They talk about the
poor material to pick from. If you take
Bayard, Carlisle, Randall, Thurman, Nor
rison. Mcdonald and men Of that stamp, |
think we need not fear as to the quality Of
his Cabinet. Whether he should add
strong man from the Independent Republi-
cans, is q question to be considered. On
the whole, am satisfied that in week or
two this tremendous excitement will quie.

HoFFhAN House,
New YORK, Nov. >,
We deem it our duty to announce to the
people Of the State that the Republican
managers have within the last forty.eight
hours conceived new scheme for throwing
again into dispute the result Of the
election in cur State. For many
days after the election they in bad
faith claimed for the Republican candidates
several states, which they knew they had
not carried. In the same bad faith, when
every source of information, including the
Associated Press, have demonstrated that
the vote Of New York has been given TO
the Cleveland electors, still they claim the
state. No fact of history is better known
than that the results of the election as
ascertained, declared and certified by the
election officers aud Of public record
throughout the State give New York to the
Cleveland electors by decisive plurality.
These public certified returns have been
sihed in the several counties by both par
ties with the most conscientious care during
the last four days until every possible
doubt as te the result has been removed.
knowing this fac:, they now propose, as
last desperate resort, to make use OF
the boards of the County Canvssers
throughout the State where controlled by
them after the pattern OF those not long
since used By them in the Southern States.
Wherever the boards tai them, judicial
orders are to be applied ior, thus relying
upon the partizanship OF the boardfin the
first place, the judges Of their own polit-
faith in the second. They in
tend and expect to again throw
into dispute the result Of
the election and involve it in interminable
litigation. To this end printed papers have
been sent by them to their agents and rep
resentatives in every county in the State Of
New York to be used with the courts when
ever an occasion can be manufactured. OF
the reliability OF our information OF this
scheme there can be no ques-
tion. We call upon the representatives
Of the party in the various counties OF this
State to be alert and BY every proper
method to resist and defeat this last desper-
ate device; and mindful Of the grave conse-
quences to the business interests of our
State which such conspiracy necessarily
involves, we deem it our duty TO assure our
pcople who have now generally acquiesced
in the result that they may confidently rely
that by no such scheme or device will the
State be deprived Of the result Of its deibe-
rste choice. 1t may distuib aud protract
the determination. 1t will not change the
result

TIE Election in the Interior of the State.
HrNrEGSvmLE, November S. Exclu-
siye THE election at this place passed
q in a very quiet manner A driz-
zling rain set in IN the morning but towards
noon il cleared of with chilling wind,
which made the latter part OF the day as
disagreeable as the former. The vote polled
was not as large as that on the l4th
Of October, consequently the Democrats are
Tho Losers.
Following is the official vote Of the coun-
~, With one precinct to hear from (Spht

Split Rock, bssing the estimate on the
state election, viii give the Cleveland
electors 300 majority, and c, P. Snyder for
congress SIS majority. Snyder runs ahead
Of the ticket in the county gaming at least
- Republican votes. AT the last cleo
tioa there was cast for governor l,lS9 votes,
at ,be election yesterday there will be
counting Split Rock LOCI votes, q loss to
the Democracy Of sboat 100 votes on the
STATE election.
0ue Of the most amusing features that
occurred here yesterday was the spectacle
Of defeated candidate at the State election
coouetiug with the eolored vote. The
party in question, Mr. II. S. Rucker, was
nominated four years ago by the Demo
Gratis for Prosecuting Attorney, but was de-
feated u, the election By Capt. Count
S,ofer. At the State election Mr., Ruoker
was again a candidate for the same office,
together with three other gentlemen The
eouuty not having any convention, no NOM
nations we're made. Consequently, Mr..
Rueker was sdroit enough to keep
His Political Sentiments
20 himself When the returns came in Mr..
RucEer was found to be showed under and
from hereeforth he was = full fiedged Rev
publican and commenced to champion the
cause of the Phmed Possum OF Maine.
Among other inducements to change the
colored vote he told them il Cleveland was
elected and the Democrats eameinto power,
they would be placed back into slavery.
Some Of the more intelligent coiored men
here paid no attention to the assertion and
voted the Democratic ticket be 1t said to

The Republican National Committee has

Many interpretations will be put upon
Goulds cringing and fawning dispatch to
Governor Cleveland, pretending to congrat-
ulate him upon his election to the Presi-
dency, but two facts in regard to it are
clear, First, it is an admission that Gould
himself was a vital point in the opposition
the main instrument in the endeavor, BY
misuse Of the telegraph, to falsify the re-
turns and to fill the country with the opin-
ion that Blaine was elected. Unless Goulds
dispatch is interpreted in that way, as the
recognition OF an arch conspirator, it has
no significance for there is no special rea-
SON aside from that why he should appear
in the case. Next, it is the plainest admis-
sion that the attempt is a failure and that
the game is up. SOud knows when he Is

BALTIMORE, November 9.-Emeline Mil
Ter, who lives at IL Welsh alley, Immediately
in the rear of Muller's saloon, 80 North
Paca street, yesterday afternoon entered the
saloon by means of the rear entrance, and,
passing through the hallway adjoining the
bar-room, stood at the door talking to VIII
liam Exstein and Frank Mitchell Another
man named Joseph Katzenberger suddenly
walked up to the group and engaged in
conversation. He had talked with them
but few moments when the girl ex-
claimed: You've hurt me" and fell to the
pavement. Mrs. Muller, who overheard the
remark, and others who were in the bar at
the time, ran out and, sssistedby Katzenber-
ger, who was crying, carried the girl into the
house and laid her on a sofa in the back
room. Kstzenberger. it is said, then went
into the kitchen and washed his hands.

said that be saw Katsenberger walk up to

gagged to the girl, but her mother denies the
report. Miss Miller was blonde, l8 years
of age and extremely handsome. Her
father, Henry Miller, is huekster in the
Lexington market. The knife with which
the cutting was done had not been found
up to late hour last night. Katzenberger
had been drinking during the day, but he
was not apparently under the influence Of
