CmciKKAH October 14.—The elec
tion abaorbe all attention, and there
are confctant fear* of serious outbreaks.
One man, A. L. Kusaetl, has boon kill
ed by a colored deputy United States
Marshal, and there have been many
knock-downs and numerous arrests.
The people are most thoroughly in
earnest, ami the parties are watching
each other with most vigilant care.
Fortunately the saloons have been
kept closed more successfully than
asjpal, and there is a minimum of
drupkencss. The United States Court
room presents a singular np|>carance.
It la the examining court for parties
charged will) illegal voting, where two
United States Couimissioncrs arc kept
busy. It U also the headquarterf of
the United States Marshal’* deputies
many of whom are colored. The vo«c
will be unusually heavy, and the out
look points to Increased Republican
votes. It is said that Butterworth, the
Republican candidate for Congress, is
rnmdng ahead of his ticket. Flsewhcrc
in the State the reports all indicate
fine weatband a full vote.
LAricK.—To the Intense relief of
everybody the day passed without any
more serions trouble than heretofore
noted, and crowds gathered to-night
about the iicwspa|tcr offices and else
where to obtain the news. The first
news from Hamilton county was from
the Clifton precinct, showing a Repub
lican gain of 50. Soon after came the
news from one precinct of Um; tenth
ward, which last year tied; now it
gives a Republican majority of 292.
This is specially slgnlflcant, as it is a
German ward,* ami It confirms the
claims that the Gorman defection is
not felt iu this vote. Another gain of
60 in one of the wardvwherc there arc
many Iriaii votes, shows that there is
some truth hi the claim that the Irish
arc going to the Republican party.
There is at the present writing the
most unbonaded confidence among the
Republicans that this county will elect
the entire Republican ticket. Similar
nows comes from the State, and the
claim is no w made of a Republican
majority in the State of 19,000. Of
coarse this estimate, made when only
one-tenth of the State had been beard
from, is liable to modification by later
returns, but it is safer to accept it is
indicating that the Republicans have
carried Ohio by a majority that mav
reach ton thousand.
THE SCENKS AT THE I-OLLS
Were unusual. The deputy marshals
organ and iag and was followed by a
crowd ofahontlng people. The appear-
aneeof Ben. Bntterworth, Congress
man elect from the First District, near
tbo poetofflee attracted a large crowd.
He was lifted up and earned some
distance by his euthusiastic supporters.
He was fbllowhd by a cheering throng
until he teit the street.

('iNOtajtATi, October 16.—The Re
publicans in Ohio have been victorious,
bi
were armed with policemen.s clubs as
" * “ 44 calil
well ns with 44 calibre revolvers. The
deputy sheriffs wero aimed iu many
cases with rndo hickory slicks, proba
bly made from dray pins. At ono of
the strongest Democratic precincts a
colored deputy sheriff was conspicuous
with a short thick hickory club iu his
hand. It was not an uncommon sight
to see the ofBoers of both sides in cus
tody. The deputy marshals found
themselves arrested by the policemen.
In the Sixth ward, where many negroes
vote, ono policeman was arrested by a
coiored deputy marshal. ThMlepub-
■> 1Dem ‘ ‘ ‘
licans and Democrats each had lawyers
employed to attend to getting their
men released as quickly os possible
niter their arrest. Altogether it has
been 4 day of Intense excitement, and
Its comparatively peaceable termina
tion is a matter of congratulation.
A BLOODY ELECTION.
Cincinnati, October 16.-Both the
Democratic and Republican press this
morning agree that yesterday’s eleo-
tioi| in Cincinnati was the bloodiest
ever held here. The Democratic pap
ers assert that a thousand deputy mar
shals were employed, mainly in inthn-
idating honest voters, while the Re
publican press construe the conduct of
tlie police force and deputy sheriffs in
a similar manner, comparing it to the
Mississippi policy. The Republicans
claim a majority of 20,000 in the Slate,
and the Democrats concede 10,000.
The following is a list of persons in
jured in last night’s various disturb
ances: Joe Lawrcy, shot in the spine;
breast
Bridget Hnghcs, struck in the
with a stoge, dangerous; John Mur-
|djy. shot iu the stomach,flush wound;
Andrew Bennett, colored, shot iu the
side, not dangerous; John Dalton, shot
In the leg, not dangerous; Sam Tay
lor, colored, shot in the side, serious;
Mike Gorman, jKjlioemci), shot in the
InAck, serious; Henry Sherlock, shot
in the back, dangerous; Henry Brown,
colored, shot in the abdomen, fatal.
The lost Ihrcc were wounded in an nt-
fray at the coiner of Sixth and Free
man streets late last night. Between
f fifty ami one hundred persons took
part in the fight which grow out of an
attempt by Gorman to arrest a negro.
Gorman was shot in tbo back bv some
unknowii person, and.* general fusi-
lade followed, one hundred shots be
ing fired. The riot alarm was sounded
and the disturbance was quelled after
two policemen and Brown had been
shot. Besides those injured as above
mentioned, Alfiirt Russell, colored,
was killed.
AN INCREASED VOTE EVERYWHERE.
Cincinnati, October 15. —Returns
received from all parts of tho State are
uniform in showing an increased vote.
In many places the increase is very-
marked. Another feature shown is
that the people were more than ordi
narily arrayed iir Ihc two great par
ties. Both the Greenback and the
Prohibition clement was comparatively
insignificant, and the vole was as dis-
tinettr. marked as if the Presidential
ticket had been before the people. A
matter of great surprise is the large
vote received by the Republican candi
date for Judge of the Supreme Court.
There wa* a general belief that he
.woftld fall far below the rest of the
ticket, owing to disaffection among the
‘ pii
saloon men on.account of bis opinion
on the Scott liquor law, but, contrary
to expectations, he carried ftillv up
with too * *

at after the excitement attending the
first news has worn off, the question
arises: “How- much of a victory ivas
it?” Wednesday morning the eagles
and other symbols of triumph, which
ornamented tho find pages of the Re
publican newspapers in Ohio, wero
followed by the announcement that
General Robinson had been elected by
a majority of from 15,000 to 20,000. It
was also stated that the Republicans
had elected twelve or more Congress
men. These claims have been, iu only-
two days, somewhat reduced. In
stead of 20,000 majority it is doubtful
if the official count will give 10,00o to
the Republicans; while, as for Con
gressmen, the Democrats are snre of a
inajority-clcve»--aiid the Republicans
only have ten.
Collmbl-8, O., October 19.—Unoffi
cial retai ns received last night from all
but five of the counties in the btatc
show Republican majorities of 46,192,
and show Democratic majorities of 41,-
399. The net Republican plurality tor
the State is now estimated at 10,855.
Columbus, Ohio, October 17.—The
official vote counted by the county
clerks to-day from sixty counties anil
semi-official from the other twenty-
eight counties, gives Robinson for
secretary of State 11.321, and Fleck-
inger for board of public works ljM>6.
Semi-official returns do notrcpWton
(he other Republican candidates.
But with sixty counties the plurality
of Jolmson for Supreme Judge is esti
mated at between 15,000 ami 16,000.
The total vote or majorities by. Con
gressional districts cannot be given,
but the vote by counties on Congress
men shows 58,544 Republican majori
ties and 40,126 Democratic. The net
Republican majority on the Congres
sional vote is 18,418.
Columbus, O., October 18.--The re
turns by counties are complete. Do
not cliange the pluralities given last
night. Unexpectedly the Prohibition
and Greenback Butler votes increase
proportionately with those of the
Democrats and Republicans. The
Prohibition vote last year was 8,362,
this year it is 9,510. The Greenback
vote last year was 2,937, this year it is
3,750, showing no coalition, but that
the party lines were closely followed.
The total Prohibition-Greenback vote
is 12,447, or 1,126 more than Robin
son’s plurality. The rest of the Re
publican ticket lias an average majori
ty over all of over 6,000. The total
vote is 780,373. Last year it was
715,616, in October, 1880, it was 716,-
186, and in November, IHfcio, it was
724,967. There is no change in the
Congressmen except an increase of 150
in Uomeis’s majority over Hurd.

What the LraUlna Newspaper Say* of Ohio
amt Writ Virginia.
[ From the Mae York He rail ]
The election returns from
States have come in very slowly
it is known as we go to press
West Virginia is Democratic by
six to ten thousand and that Ohio is
Republican by from seven to ten thou
sand.
Thi» net result of the most desperate
canvass ever made by the Republicans
can scarcely raise their hopes of a
favorable result in November.
In October, 1880, the Republicans
carried Ohio by 19,005. It that year
they spent their huge corruption fund
mainly in Indiana, then an October
State, which they carried by Dorsey’s
administration of “soap” and “new
two dollar btRs." This year, under
the management of an Indiana politi
cian, Pension Commissioner Dudley,
tho Repubiican Indiana methods ami
“soap” were concentrated in Ohio;
Mr. Blaine w as paraded over the State;
iu Cincinnati, as the Herald corre
spondent relates, five thousand Re
publican deputy United States mar
shals, an army of disreputables, a
large proportion of them not even in
habitants of Ohio, were given control
at the polls, and Avill, of course, be
l>aid out of the United States Treasury
for their scandalous and murderous
partisan work, and the Republican
headquarters were actually in the
Custom House, ns they used to be in
New Orleans in the old and corrupt
car|>et-bag days.
To such indecent extremities in the
“party of groat moral ideas” reduced.
And yet, with all this unblushing use
of patronage, with its hired agents.
jwiid out of the public treasury, shoot-
jug citizens in the streets, with open
streets,
and confessed conniption and the most
lavisli use of money, the majority se
cured is so much less than they hoped
for and needed that their victory is in
effect a defeat?
The scandalous scenes in Cincinnati
can scarcely fail to shock and disgust
reputable voters in all parts of the
country with a party which, under the
eyes of its candidate and with Ids man
agement, used such means to cnrrv an
election.
The Democrats have no reason to be
discouraged at the result of Tuesday,
but on the contrary. The Blaine men
have spent their strength on a blow
which hurts them far more than it docs
their antagonists.
UNDISMAYED BY OHIO.
The Feel lug In New York on the Recent
Eleetion.
New York, October 18.—The Blaine
newspapers make a great hurrah over
the result in Ohio. The Tribune savs
“Ohio settles it,” and the Sun niraiu
is beaten. T
thinks Cleveland is beaten. This
shows how badly they were scared.
The Democrats, while regretting the
result, are not discouraged bccuase
the Republicans have carried Obio by
considerably smaller majority
than they obtained it four years
ago with much less efifort. The Demo
cratic majority iu West Virginia over
tlie Republicans and Grccnbackcrs in
1880 was 9,066. Now,. they have a
much larger majority over the com
bined llepublican and Greeuback tick
et. The Ohio election was the blood
iest on record, bloodshed being the
direct consequence of Federal mar-
•hals’ interference at the polls. Extra
ordinary sums of money were expend

LIEI’TF.NANTGRKELY ENTERTAINED.
gpcaklni; lo the New Knaland Club of Uo*
Ion on the A relit Expedition.
Lieutenant Grcely was the guest of
the New England Club, of Boston, on
Saturday evening, where he made a
brief speech. After referring to the
importance of tlie discovery made by
his expedition and to the part which
New Knglanders had taken in the past
in Arctic explorations, he said: “Of
tlie last terrible year I have little to
say. After having faced death for
weeks and months and experienced
all of the vicissituds of Arctic voya
gers, wc suffered as others did from
the intense cold. Wc were for forty
days on a floe thinking wc should
never land again. Then, during a ter
rible storm, the fiercest I have ever
known, we had to transfer our camp
from one floe to another. After a ter
rible struggle wc reached the land,
then came the horrible news that the
Proteus had sunk. Wc found wc
were on a shore from which tho hardv
Esquimaux Lad been driven centuries
ago. But we were kept up by deter
mination and resolved to face any
thing and everything, and let fajc do
its worst. Wc determined thaG wc
would meet it whatever it wa.*, and
die like men, [tremendous applause]
and, when we had made up our minds
to that, it was not so hard as you may
think it was.
“As the slow [weeks passed by and
we lived in the ice house and from day
to day had scarcely enough to keep
body and soul together, one little bit
of a flicker from a rag dipped in seal
oil being our only light, and wc knew
it would be mouths before wc could
hear from our native land, wc had
confidence and felt that it was certain
that the pnrtv, as a party, would rc-
turc. There was mNiiing like a muti
ny and there was no separation in the
camp. There was nothing on the pan
of the weakest to prevent others from
having their full share, and when one
of onr men was so frozen that his feet
dropped from Ids ankle bones, all tlie
rest cared for him. I never knew a
man who was not. willing to do any
thing and everything he could for this
man who had sacrificed his limbs for
us. —
“When daylight came, for wc were
112 days without the sun, and when
talking about the troubles wc had pass
ed through, one Easter Sunday there
came to us a ray of liojie by the shift
ing of the snow on onr house and we
talked ot the days to come. Scarcely
a man but said that in the future he
would think more kindly of the world
and felt that iu every man there was
more of gogj than of bad. Gentlemen,
I am not very strong and no speech-
maker. [Voices ‘Go on.*] I can only
thank you for the kind reception anti
say God bless you one and all.”
[Three cheers for Grcely and his
men.]
I’i-**paring for the Bulldoiera.
Chicago, III., October 18.—In com
menting upon the supervision of the
polls on election day, and the appoint
ing of deputy United Slates marshals
and deputy sheriff's, the Timet this
morning prints the following: “The
Democrats, that is to say, one hundred
of them, organized yesterday what
they are pleased to style a vigilance
committee. It is composed of deter-
mined men who are resolved that no
intimidation or violence shall rule at
the Chicago polls, ami their orders are
to provoke no fight themselves nor to
indulge in any, as long as the contest
is merely wordy, but if any bulldoz
ing is attempted by negro or other
deputy marsh&lfl, to resist it, and if
any Democrat is shot, to sec to it that
the shooter at once suffers the same
fate. So the matter stands, and if the
feeling keeps growing in intensity
there will be serious trouble in Chicago
on election dav.”

Lacrosse, Wis n October !«.—F. A.
Burton, President /of the Rlaino and
Logan Club here, was shot dead bv a
man known as "Scotty” at 8 o'clock
this evening, while the Repubiicaoa
were forming in procession on Main
Street. Seven shots were fired in quick
succession. The murderer was arrest
ed and harried to jail before the int-
mense crowd could realize what had
occurred. As soon as the fact was
made known there was Intense excite
ment and hundreds of men in uniform
and carrying torches hurried to the
court house yard and demanded that
tho prisoner be headed over to them.
“Lynch him I Lvnch him!” wa* the
general cry. At this hour (8:46)
houareds of men are besciging the
jail. . Sheriff Soott, Chief of Police
Clarke and a posee of police are at the
jial door, trying to nalm tho infuriated
multitude. No 'violence has been done
vet and none may take place. The
body of Burton was taken to a drug
store, where an examination showed
that life was extinct. Those who
stood near tbe scene saw the man ad
vance from the crowd on the sidewalk
to within a few feet of his victim ami
fire the firM bullet into bis tack, when
Burton fell to tbe pavement. This
was followed with six shots into the
prostrata man’s fcodv ami bead.
“Scotty” then threw his revolver at
bis victim and gave him a kick. All
this was done iu n moment, and before
any one could realize Jhe situation.
The motive of the murder has not yet
come to light. Button was managing
the campaign in this section. The
mob tinning they could not prevail
upon the authorities to surrender the
prisoner, at 10:45 o’clock procured
cold chisels, forced open die doors, and
putting a rope around tlie murderer’s
neck, lynched him.
The officers were notable to stay tbe
mdb who refused to listen to argument.
From nine o’clock to ten the court
house ami square presented a scene
which beggared description. Tlie mob
increased in numbers until tlie entire
space on three sides ot tbe jail was a
dense tnn«s of humanity, demanding
that the murderer be hung. Torches
flared above the sea of heads and white
plumes moved resolutely about the
square. The best citizens in the place
were presnt and watched the fearful
scene with blanched faces, but with no
expression of sympathy.
There were hundreds of women in
tlie thoroughfares and walks around
the jail. The excitement grew stead
ily in force, and the mob at last found
leader with cool heads, who went
methodically about taking the man
from the prison and lynching him.
Beams were procured and in a short
lime the heavily bolted and barred
doors of the Fourth street side of tho
jail were battered in by the crowd
w hich poured into the first floor rooms.
The sheriff and his assistants succeed
in clearing tlie room the first amt
second time but on the third rush the
mob overpowered them and held their
ground. The interior wooden doors
of the cooking department yielded like
so many plates of glass. In the mean
time a iieavy oak door leading to the
stairway on the west side was battered
down, and the mob held full posses
sion of tho main corridor. While this
was going on the crowd became almost
colossal about the place, but aside
from the rush of the men at the jail the
best of order prevailed. There was no
drunken men in the mob, tbe whole
work being done by resolute fellows
who dcciclcd to make the murderer
pay the death penalty before they left
the square. Onca in the corridor,
sledge hammers were used to break in
the Iieavy doors, two iu number, that
intervened between them and the cell
room, these soon yielded, and as each
advaned was made the crowd were ap
prised on the outside. The crowd had
but little difficulty in finding theTr
man and he was tafcmi out and banged
as related above.,
Lacrosse, IVis., October 17.—The
real name of the man who was lynched
last iijgltf for the unprovoked murder
of F. A. Burton, was Nathaniel Mitch
ell. He was employed as river man
during the summer and as woodman
in the winter. He was a desperate
character and was addicted to the use
of liquor. He had been both iu jail
and tho insane asylum. The cause of
his killing Mr, Burton is not known.
One theory is that he mistook him for
another person.
Business was practically suspended
here to-day, the all-absorbing topic of
conversation being the terrible tragedy
of last night—the murder of Frank
Burton and subsequent lynching of hia
slayer, Nathaniel Mitchell. It now
appears that Mitchell intended, if pos
sible, to kill at least two more citizens,
one of whom was Charles S. McDoj-
ald. It was only a question of whom
lie met first.
The coroner’s jury examined twelve
witnesses in tlie inquest over Mitchell,
the lynched murderer, among whom
were the sheriff, policemen and eye
witnesses of the murder ami lynching.
No one recognised any of the multi
tude who did the lynching. The ver
dict substantially states that the de
ceased was the man who murdered
Burton, and that he came to his dsath
by hanging at the hands of parties to
the jury unknown.
A VUtlrnSr Senuti a.
Louisville, October 18.—A sensa
tion was caused in the court house
here this morning by a fight between
ex-Judge Hurgis, until recently Chief
Justice of the Court of Appeals, and
Col. Beunett H. Young, a well known
lawyer and President of the Southern
Exposition. In an argument in an
injunction ease, ex-Jndge Hurgis made
a remark reflecting on Mr. Young,
who immediately denoonced the ex-
Chief Justice as an intamons liar. At
this Judge Hurgis hurled two law
books at Mr. Young. They cliuched
and were having a regular mill when
they were separated by friends.

here, adopted, by a unanimous vote,
the following overture to tlie Synod of
Georgia in reference to Evolution as
taught in the Columbia (S. C.) Theo
logical Seminary:
It having been known, through a
published address, which has received
the endorsement of the majority ot the
Board of Directors of the Columbia
TheologicaPSeminary, that the doc
trine of Evorfirtioa as contained in that
address, is, or will be taught in that
institution, which is partly under your
control, tho Atlanta Presbytery, for
the following reasons, earnestly over
tures the Synod to express its disap
probation of such teaching, and to take
whatever steps may be necessary to
prevent it.
1. Because evolution is an improved
scientific hypothesis.
2. Because, even iu tlie form pre
sented in the address, tbe doctrine
brings upon out church much of the
odium that attaches to the doctrine in
it* worst form.
3. Because the Synod cannot afford
to make itself responsible for this doc
trine in any of its forms.
4. Because it is founded upon a mode
of interpreting the Scriptures which
tends greatly to unsettle the confidence
of our people in the correctness of the
word of God, and sets to onr theologi
cal students a dangerous example in
exegesis.
5. Because it will unnecessarily agi
tate and damage our church by an
excited and protracted controversy.
6. Because it is contrary to tlie sense
in which our standards hare always
been understood, and would make
necessary a restatement of some of our
doctrines.
In regani to the action of tho Board
of Directors of the Seminary, the Pres
bytery adopted the following resolu
tion :
Retoleed, That the Atlanta Presby
tery mo«t heartily approves tbe action
of the Rev. Dr. Stacy aud Co!. George
W. Scott, members of the Board of
Director* of Columbia Theological
Seminary and of this Presbytery, in
entering their protest to the action of
the majority of the Board, as related
to the teaching of evolution in said
Seminary, which said- action of the
majority i* most emphatically con
demned. r

This form of cancer is the most
prevalent type, and is many caacs
fatal, as it gradually eats away until
it destroys life. It would seem that
Swift’s Specific is indeed a specific for
this scourge.
Mrs. K. A. Armstrong, Verona,
Miss., writes under date of May 16,
1884: “After taking six bottles of
Switl’s Specific the cancer is' healing;
is greatly reduced in size, it now
gives me uo fain, and my general
health has so much improvcKl that 1
am able to be up aiiff attend to my
household duties—something ( hud
not been able to do in several years*. I
feel that it will cure me.”
Mr. M. N. Clayton, of Red Clay,
Ga., writes under recent date: “All
painful sensations in my cauoHr are
decreasing. I feel decidedly bffler,
and the cancer has commenced to
heal.”
Dr. M. F. Crumley, Oglethorpe,
Ga., writes under date of May 10th:
“Mr. Naves, who had such a terrible
cancer on his face, is about well. New
skin has grown all over his face, and
looks almost as well as it ever did, and
I would like some of your company to
see him.”
Messrs. J. & J. B. Harter, of North
Manchester, Ind., writes under date of
May 1st: “The lady with cancer is
improving right along. The Specific
increased the discharge for the first
few days, but the soreness is gone and
she is much better.”
Mrs. W. H. Route, of Gordonsrille,
Va., writes under date -of May 11,
1884: “lam. much, improved.. The
caucer is bettar; does not pain me at
all. It is a wonder to all my friends.”
Mr. James E. Ligon, of Michaux
Ferrv, Va., writes nnder date of May
19,1884: “My condition is greatly
improved; my general health ia good;
my appetite good; cancer decidedly
better, and has begun to heal nicely*.
How can I ever repay you?”
Mr. J. 8. Rhodes, of Mill River, N.
C., writes under date of May 19,1884:
“My mother has , been using . Swift’s
Specific about two weeks, and /is im
proving. The cancer is not now
fnl aud is healing.”
Mr. T. J. Teatc, of Wacissa, Fla.,
writes under date of May, 2, 1881:
“Swift’s Specific lias cured a cancer
on my fkce, And has almost made a
young man out of me.”
Mr. R. Tinsley, of Burr Mills, Va.,
writes May 1, 1884: “My wife has
taken four bottles of Swift’s Specific
for a cancer, and has Improved won
derfully. I sball keep it up; hate no
