ELECTION ECHOES.
Trouble in West Virginia Over an
Error in Printed Date.


CHARLESTON, W. VA, Nov. s.-TroubIe
may yet arise out of the recent election
held in portion of this State. The poll
books were printed IN such a manner as
to make 1t appear in the certificates of
several commissioners OF election that
the election was held Oct. 2, 1856, instead
of November, as fixed by the constitu-
tional amendment voted upon by the
people and ratified by the Legislature
If this cannot be settled it will
throw the matter of the cleo
ton of State Senator from
this district into tbe State Senate, which
Is Democratic; but in order 10 prevent
any trouble, the County Court of this
hanaw county, instead of issuing
certificates of election to the several of.
icers elected last Tuesday, has sum-
moned all the commissioners Of the elec-
tiOn to meet in this city next Thursday
and make oath to the correctness of
the October books. The contest would
affect many elected by both parties.

Danger of a Bad Split Among the
Knights of Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. S.-The trouble
among the textile workers in this city is
NOT yet ended, Notwithstanding Mr.. Pow
derly's order directing the strikers at
Troth's mill to return TO work. The Manu-
facturers' A ssociation had threatened a
general lockout OF the employees IN all the
mills unless the differences at Troth's
mill were satisfactorily adjusted, This
lockout, which would have affected 1000
persons who the manufacturers clam
were supporting the strikers. was averted
by Mr.. POwderly agreeing with the manu-
facIurers that all questions except
that OF wages should be
dropped, and that, pending a
settlement of the wages question, Troth's
employees would be ordered TO return TO
work. The members of the local assem-
bies claim tnat Mr.. POwderly exceeded
his authority, and they contend that their
demand for the discharge of An objec-
tiODable superintendent and other griev-
ances should be considered as well as the
question OF wages. Only two OF the
ten female workers ordered back at Troth's
returned TO work to-day, and this, it
is said, will place the local assemblies
in direct antagOnism with the General
Exc cutive Board OF tue Knig hts OF Labor.
Local Assembly No. 1898 will hold a
meeting tomorrow, and should they de-
eide TO continue the strike the charIer Of
the assembly will no doubt ue declared
forfeited by the Executive Buard, in
which case it is said that over 5000
knights OF Labor will leave the order and
continue the fight against the manuiac-
JureTs themselves,

JACKSON, MISS, Nov. S.--Tbe Supreme
Court to-day decided upon what Is COM
monty called the prohibition or local op.
tion case, Judge Campbell delivering the
opinion. An elaborate argument had
been made by Hon. Thomas A. Wood
against the validity OF TIE State law, but
the general opinion among the members
OF the legal profession has been that the
statute would be upheld. The objections
urged against the statute were that it
delegated legislative pOwtr to an eec-
toral body, that the feature ultimately
making twenty-five freeholders arDiters
vested them with legislative power, and
made them by property qualification an
exclusive circle; that tue law was to
take effect only upon contingent event
In the iuture, that Is vote by majority
Tor prohibition, and that it allowed citl-
zens OF Mississippi only to sell liquor,
aud excluded citizens Of other States.
The court considered and rejected each
objection as unsound and declared the
statute constitutional as valid exercise
OF the police power OF the State.

WON HIM.

When Cagly announced himself as a candidate for the legislature, Squire Harrow swore that he would not only vote against him, but would do all he could against him. Shortly after this declaration, the squires friends were surprised to see him working ardently for Cagly. When asked what had caused him to change his opinion, he replied that he had discovered Cagly's good qualities. After the election a friend asked Cagly how he had won the old man.
 I'll tell you" said Cagly "One day while riding along in the squire neigh borhood, my horse was taken sick. Then thought struck me. I rode up to the 'squire's gate and called the old gentleman. His face wore a frown when he reached the gate, and saw that he ;. was not going to ask me to get down, but did not mind that Squire said my horse is sick, and without your assistance I fear he will die. I know that you know more about horses than any other man in this country, and even though you are not friend of mine must say that have high opinion of your knowledge By this time the old fellows frown had melted into a smile He invited me to get down. He cured my horse and then went with me to call upon his neighbors. Oh, you can catch those old fellows with horse trick any s time"
