THE FOURTH MARYLAND DISTRICT.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 27.-The Democrats OF
this city who calculated on finding enough
errors in tho returns of the vote IN the
Fourth Congressional district to count out
Mr. Stockbndge, the Republican elected,
reckOned wrongly. The attempt has failed.
Governor jackson will sign the certificate
OF Mr.. Stockbrfdge. In the Fifth district
MIR. Mudd, Republican, claims his election
by bare majority. The certificate Is issued
TO Mr.. Compton, the Democratic candidate.
MIR. mudd will take his contest to the House
OF Representatives.
These were the only contested districts In
Maryland. Congressman Mcoomas having
been reelected In the S!xth district, at least
two Republican Congressman from Mary
land are aasutei,
CHESTER coUNTYs NEW JUDGE.
A West Chester special says: There are
1--WE men mentioned to succeed the lare
Presidlps Judge 3. Smith Futhey--A, P.
Rsid, William II, Hayes, Captain II. Il.
Cornwell, John J. Pirksrton and Thomas
y. Butler, the latter being the son Of of ex-
State Treasurer Samuel Butler. nephew Of
Judge William Butler Of the Untted States
district court, and son-in-law OF Congress-
man Darlington. The oldest of the oandt-
dates Is not over 30 and the youngest, Mr..
Butler, is only 81. and 1t Is believed here by
many that by reason Of Mr.. Darlingfon's
Influence Governor Beaver will be likely TO
appoint Mr.. Butler. Some are In favor OF
his appointing, for the unexpired term, an
outside member Of the Chester county bar,
one residing outside West Chester, and In
this connection the names General b. F.
Fisher, b. r. March aud Colonel Il. H.
Glikyson are mentioned. This done would
leave square aght between the West
Chester candidates one year hence, when
the people will select by their ballots. That
this will be done their Isn't any likelihood,
and the fight that is on now for the placs
will be fought for NIL there is In 1t. There
will be breaking up Of the party or fac
tional lines, and In the event of much bad
blood 1t is hinted q coalition with the Dam-
ocrats may lead to II. Jones Monaghan
being elected.
