AUGUSTA, GA, Nov. 6.-The democratic, re-

hated tickets for presidential electors in Geor-
eia; Inere Is no state ticket to be elected,

republicans have nominated candidates for
Congress, and the prohibitionists have an
electoral ticket, il is believed that their votes
will be small and without effect.

ALBANY, Nov. 6.-Reports from all over the
state show uniform warm, cloudy weather with
occasional rains. A heavy vote is being polled
everywhere. Money is used freely by both
pides. The republicans sent $4,000 from New
York for Albany city last evening and between
$4,000 and $1,000 had been raised at home by
the republicans. The rest Of the county has
been fixed" proportionately. The effect Of
this money is neutralized by the republican
factional fight in the second district, where both
sides are trading the whole republican ticket,
hational and state, for rival republican assem-
bly, candidates.

County will give Cleveland over $1,000.

an inquiry from the United States consul at
Havre respecting the right of certain Chinese
sailors shipped from the United States on
American vessels and paid of at and dis
charged abroad, to reship and return TO the
United States, the Secretary of the Treasury in
vites attention to the law ON the subject, under
which, he says, the Chinese having been landed
and paid off, are no longer in any sense within
the Jurisdiction and under the control of the
United States Government, and must be con-
sidered as having departed from the United
States. Touching certain papers delivered to
the Chinese upon their departure from the
United States on the strength of which they
re-embarked, the Department says that any
other papers than the certificates formerly
issued land which are now void could not be
of higher character or of greater force.

The RIGHT OF STEAMERS TO SELL LIouoRs
WITHOUT LIcENsE.-In the United States Su-
preme Court on Monday argument was SUBJ
mitted in two cases involving the right of
steamers TO sell liquors. The owner of an ex-
cursion steamer running between Pittsburg
and Mckee's Rocks was convicted Of violation
of a Pennsylvania statute prohibiting the sale
Of liquor without license. He set up the claim
that the state law did not apply to steamboats,,
and that Congress alone had the right to
regulate interstate commerce: also that the
Government license gave him the right to sell
liquor within the limits of Pennsylvania. The
court heard the argument in favor Of Clark, tho
steamboat owner who appealed, and then de-
clined TO hear argument for the state.
