THE STATE OF AFFAIRS.

The result of the election in West
Virginia has not yet been determined.
The way the thing stands at this writ
ing is about as follows: In the first
district, PendletOn, Democrat, is elect
ed TO Congress 10y a small majority
In the second district, of course, there
is no question as TO Mr.. Wilson 5 cleo
ton. In the third district, a recount
of the vote showed majority for Al
derson, Democrat, but the Republi-
can County Court didn't like it that
way, so it deliberately threw out two
Democratic precincts, and gave Nc
GinniS. Republican, a majority; the
Democrats, however, objected TO this
sort Of thing, and will contest the mat
ter in the courts. In the fourth dis
trict Smith, Republican, seems to be
elected. but Judge Jackson still claims
the most votes and says he will be
able to prove his own election. As to
the Governship, that is not yet set
tied. General Golf is claiming every
thing, but the Democrats refuse TO be
bluffed and will see that Judge Elem
ing gets his rights. The Legislature
is Democratic by one majority on joint
ballot, and the Democrats can elect a
United States Senator-provided they
pull together.
The above is about the way the
matter stands at present. What the
result will be by the time litigation is
over, no one can tell.

Locked in a Safe.

A young lady clerk in the millinery
store of Mrs. Slater, on Fstreet, Wash
ington, had a narrow escape from
death last Saturday evening. She
went into a large safe-yault in the
rear of the store about $50 O'Clock TO
put some articles away, and another
clerk, passing by, closed the safe door
upon her, without knowing that she
was inside. The clerk turned the
knob at the same time, and thus set
the combination. The young lady's
predicament was soon discovered, and
caused great excitement, from the
fact that there was no one present
who knew the combination. The
question of engaging safe burglar
was being seriously discussed, when
the proprietor of the store happened
in accidentally, and put an end to all
fears 10y opening the door and releas-
ing the young lady from her perilous
position. She had been locked in for
over an hour, and might have suffo-
Gated to death, if her release had been
delayed much longer.

An Interesting Political Item.

The Pittsburg Post publishes the fol
lowing relative TO West Virginia poll
tics: There is considerable talk here
about the probabilities of ex-senator
Henry q. Davis, of West Virginia, sue
ceeding Senator kenna. 1t is under
stood that the Democrats only claim
the West Virginia Legislature by one
majority, and that there is probabil
ity of a row over choosing Mr.. Ken
mas successor. General Golf says Mr..
Kenna cannot be reelected. Some of
Mr.. Davis friends think he can make
deal with the Republicans and Sc
cure enough Democratic votes to elect
him to the Senate Mr.. Davis is per-
sonally very stout with the President
elect. His daughter has been Mr..
Harrison's guest for some weeks past,
going TO indianapolis just previous to
the election. 1t is thought that should
the Republicans find that they can
not elect one of their party, a combi-
nation can be made which might re-
suit in the selection Of Mr.. Davis. Mr..
Davis has served two terms in the
United States Senate and each time
was elected by the aid of Republican
voters. The relations between Mr..
Davis and Mr.. Kenna are not at all
cordial, and for this reason Mr.. Davis
is talked about.

Murdered While Returning from Church.

John Mason, a resident Of Berkeley
county, w. Va, had his throat cut
Sunday night by a young man named
Lampe, living in Frederick county,
Va. The young men had both been
to church at Towards Chapel, on
what is known as the Pack Horse
road, across the Third mountain, and
after the services young Mason, on
his way home, came up with Lampe
and some female members of his fam
lily. Upon seeing Mason Lampe eY-
claimed There he is now" and
rushed at him with knife and
plunged it into his throat, severing the
right jugular vein, from the effects of
which he bled to death before medi-
cal assistance could be had. After in
fiicting the wound Lampe walked off
in the direction of his home. The
scene of the tragedy is in Freder-
lex county, Va, some distance from
telegraph lines, and the full particu-
lars could not be learned, but there is
said to be womani in the case. Lampe
went to Winchester next day and gave
himself up, claiming that he acted in
elf-defense.

A SLAP AND A KICK.

1t is interesting to observe the re-
suit of the warfare made by that ex-
erescence on the journalistic body,
the Charlestown Democrat, upon our
State Senator elect. Mr.. Charles H.
Knott. 1t opposed him in every way,
shape and form; it lied about him
and falsified his intentions and princi-
pies; its editor, we understand, voted
against him, and personally tried to
induce others to do the same. The
Democrat howled at Mr.. Knott as a
tool of the railroads, and tried in ev-
cry way to trap him in the pits it
digged with so much care. 1t charged
him with being an enemy of the peo-
pie. and committed against the inter
ests of the agricultural classes. In
deed, it stopped at no meanness in its
efforts to defeat Mr.. Knott, but fortu-
nately the people had more confidence
i'm Knott than they had in Mason and
triumphantly elected their candidate.
Last week at Martinsburg the State
Grange, which was attended by a
large number of intelligent and earn
est farmers from all parts of the State,
bv an almost unanimous vote elected
Mr.. Knott to the highest position in
the Order-that of Master The stur-
DIV farmers of the State showed their
confidence i'll Mr.. Knots intention
and ability to look after their mutual
interests, and in so doing they showed
their contempt for the newspaper that
maligned him.
The election of Mr.. Knott was slap
i'm Mason's face This action of the
State Grange il sturdy kick admin
istered where it will do the most good.

brutally murdered his wife and child.
He was arrested and placed in Jail,
but mob determined to lynch him.
A couple of thousand persons made
an attack on the Jail, but the sheriff

Mrs. Sarah Barnett, living near the
town of Lafayette, Montgomery
county, Va. gave birth to her second
and last child just forty years ago;
since then she has never walked, but
has been constantly confined to the
bed. She sits up in the bed more or
less every day, and looks very well
for one having been confined TO the
bed for so long time. Her appetite
is good, as well as her general heath.
1t has never been known for certain
what caused her to loose her powers
of locomotion, but in all probability
the nerves radiating from the spinal
cord were injured in some way or
other.

THE SUN.
FOR

And for the Democracy.

THE SUN believes that the campaign Tor
the election of a Democratic Congress In lssO
and Democratic President in 1877 should
begin on or about the fourth OF next Marcn.
and until the end of the most interesting anu
important political conflict since the war,
doing its honest utmost, as ever TO secure the
triumph of the Democratic party and the per-
manent supremacy OF the principles heIu py

The great fact OF the year Is the return 10
absolute power OF the common enemy vi al
good Democrats-the political organization
for whose overthrow THE sun fought al the
front for fifteen years, the memorable years
OF Grant and the Fraud Hays, and CARRIED

IL is the same old enemy that Democrats
now confront, and he will be lntrenched IN
the same strong position. 1t has been carried
once by brave and hopeful hghting. DO you
not believe with The Sun that the thing can
be done again? Wait and see.
The hope of the Democracy is In the loyal
efforts OF n united press. cherishing no MEM
cries OF past differences in non essentials. for
getting everything but the lessons OF expert
ence, and that victory is duty.
Probably you know THE Sun already as
newspaper which gets all the news and prints
