Harrison (DemocraO -, IA, Smith Re
publican). Al GA. The newly-elected
members Of the City Council consist,
as nearly as yet ascertained, Of Is Re-
publicans and Democrats. This
would make the Council tie between
the parties.
LHfT.-On the face of the returns,

treasurer, is elected by 1900 majority;
Plantz Republican,, for city clerk, is
elected by % majority; Washburne
Rcpubhcan), for attorney, is elected by
Loco majority. These figures may
vary slightly.
The local committee for public safety
charge that frauds were perpetrated in
three or four of the wards. and declare
that a number of prosecutions will fol-
low. The Republican managers, it is
declared this morning. will contest
Hsrrison's election, and they claim to
have evidence of fraud en- which 10 base
their contest.
CHICAGO, April s. The DAILY
Nctrs, which this morning declared
that Harrison had been elected mayor
according to apparently full returns by
334 plurality, is out with special
edition, stating that Sydney Smith has
probably been elected even by the face
OF the returns, and that on the official
count he will be found to have carried
the city by fully 1000 majority. The
same paper charges that great frauds
were committed in the First, Second,
and Ninth wards. Newmister Demo
craft is now believed TO have been
elected city clerk. The Prohibition
vote for mayor was %. Democratic
papers claim that lisrrison's majority
il 400.
The Ldtes,.-VeIy few changes have
been made in the estimates upon yes
'erdsy's election returns. The Demo-
cratic papers claim lIarriSon's election
by from $50 TO 400. while the Repub-
iieaD papers assert that the official
count will show that Smith carried the
city.

General Lawtsn sees the President.
fBv telegra nh TO the Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The Star
this evening says: General Lawton, OF
Georgia, called upon the President yes
terday and said he wanted at the outset
to relieve the Administration of all pos
sibility Of embarrassment arising from
his appointment to the Russian mission.
He said he wanted the President to
proceed in the case without any regard
TO him LawtOn) personally. His de-
sire was that the President should act
just as if the appointment had never
been rendered. General LawtOn also
saw Secretary Bayard, and assured him
that no personal ambition of his stood
in the way of the Administration re-
lieving itself of embarrassment, If
any was to proceed from the appoint
ment. General Lawton was pardoned
by President johnson year before the
fourteenth amendment to the Constltu-
ton went into effect, and he did not
consider that the provisions Of that
amendment applied to him. lie did
not regard the amendment as retroac-
tive, and in this opinion Attorney
General Garland, Mr.. Phelps, and
other distinguished lawyers, have con-
CURED. 1t was because General Law
ton did not regard congressional action
as necessary to relieve him of political
disabilities, after having the Presidents
pardon, that he failed to ask for such
relief.
General I.awton had conference
with the President this afternoon.
THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT PREPAR-
ING AN OPINION.
WASHINGTON. April S--The At
torney-General is preparing an opinion
with regard to the eligibility of General
Lawton to appointment as Minister to
Russia. As soon as it is completed 1t
will be submitted TO the President, and
the case will then come up for final
consideration. Ii is understood the
opinion aiirms General LawtOn's eligi-
bllity.
