A POPULAR TRIUMPH.-The Peoples
party in Seattle last Monday, defeated
the candidates of the Loyal League"
for Mayor, City Attorney and Chief of
Police. The Peoples candidates elect
ed were: For Mayor, Shoudy, beating
Denny 43 votes; for Attorney, Peter
son, beating Hanford 2O4 votes; for
Chief of Police, Murphy, beating Scott
III votes. The Peoples party like
wise elect three of the six Councilmen.
If this result does not show the hand
writing on the wall, nothing will. The
political Belshazzars who have sought
to annihilate the efforts of the work
ing men, by making them responsible
for the acts of a few incorporate
cranks, will find in time that they
have been carefully weighed and must
pass at their true value.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Nov. 2O.--Last spring
young Mr.. Todd, of good family in Talla-
poosa county, Alabama, where his father
teaches school, obtained of Gray a knight,
merchants in Dadevile, Tallapoosa county,
advances On his crop by mortgaging about
three head Of stock aud his prospective
crop. Subsequently it was ascertained he
mortgaged what he did not possess. He
farmed some little. The precise spot,
however, was unknown, but il was found
out that he ranged" mostly across Talla-
poosa river, his peculiar operations ex-
tending within ratio of about nineteen
miles, where he managed, without con-
| Tossing, to belong to the Mormons, aud to
keep within convenient distances, about
fifteen white coucun.nes, whom he success
| fully kept up by furnishing them with the
provisions he obtained from his merchants
ON his crop and dividing them among
| these women. The latter part of the sum
mer he succeeded in getting more pro-
visions from his Dadeyille merchants on
his crop, dividing them again among his
concubines.
! Recently Gray & Knight learned that
| Todd sold bale OF cotton mortgaged %
them in Alexander City, aud had pur
chased suit Of clothes, preparatory 30
going to Texas. They obtained warrant
| Tor his arrest, but he got posted before the
officers reached his abode, aud now fol-
lowed a sy ystem of wel-conceived eva

who, being tired OF being fOiled by thes,
women every day, determined to hunt

They first secured his range for two
days, but his concubines foled even the
| bloodh0uuds. Two more bloolhounds
were secured, the concubiues still proteo =
ing their man, and changing and obliter-
aling his trails. At last, how ever, an in
| furiated husband, whose wife charged
| Todd with having outraged her ia the
woods, joined the chase. His trail was
quickly found, aud the four bloodhouuds
] spotted him in close quarters, with two
concubines trying Go hide him. lie saw
that he was cornered and surrendered,
and was 'ollowed part of the way TO prison
by some of his cOncubnes. aud is solidarity

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Letter from tho Ex-President OF the Con-

the Late Unpleasantness.

BALTIMORE, Nd. Nov. 20.-Anent the
charge by Gen. Shermen, made some tilhe
ago, that Jefferson Davis, as President OF
the Southern Confederacy, had threatened
TO use Lees army to coerce Southern
States, the Sun publishes to-day letter
written by MIR. Davis to Gov. Vance, OF
North Carolina, in January, 1868, and
which was published In the Raleigh, N. L.
Standard at that time. The documents
which is quite lengthy, rehearses the iutlie
efforts made by Mr.. Davis TO obtain a con-
ference with Northern leaders, looking TO
a peaceful settlement of differences, and
concludes as follows:
~ fear much, from the tenor of the news
| have received from North Carolina, that
an attempt will be made by some bad men
TO inaucurate movements which must be
considered equivalent TO aid ana comfort
to the enemy, and which all patriots should
combine to put down at any expense. Inc
scourge of civil warfare VIII deyastate
her homes il the designs of these traitors
be suffered to make headway. | know you
will place yourself in your legitimate pl-
stion in the lead of those who will not sur
fer the name OF the old North State TO be
blackened by such "A stain.
viii you pardon me for suggesting my
only source of disquietude on the subject
has arisen from fear that you will delay
too long the action which now appears IN
evtalle, and by your over-earnest desire
TO reclaim by reconciliation the men whom
you believe sound at heart, but whose 10y
atty is more than suspected elsewhere,
you will permit them to gather such
strength as 10 require moro violent meas
ures than are now needed. With your in
fiuence aud position the promoters OF the
unfounded dIsc0rds now prevalent in your
State could be tut down without physical
force if you would abandon the policy OF
conc!iation aud set them at defiance. In
this course, frankly aud firmly pursued,
you would rally around you all that is best
aud nobe,t in your State, and your tri-
umph would be bloodless. If a contrary
policy be adopted much fear you will be
driven t. use force TO repress treason. In
either event, however, be assured you will
have my cordial concurrence and assist
ance in maintaining with you the honor,
dignity and fair name Of your state, and
in your efforts to crush treason, whether
Incipient, as | believe it now is, or more
matured as ! believe If not firmly met il
will in the future inevitably become, 1
