«■**» KEPCBUTCAN irta of th« » Vary Vl«t*ry—Tha till Oonftdant of t Telogrmint to <# Chrohiclt. ] 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. ORKEUAI. RESULT. ('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 * * remainder of tho ticket,* and hera in Hamilton comity bis vote is greater (ban that for Robinson. Clarke county, it k estimated, will give 2,300 Repubiican majority and Scott county will giro about 700, with Judge John- •ton leading the ticket. Atheus coun ty gives Grosvenor (Rep) for Con grats 1,600 majority. Bellaire shows a Ktow i,ow majoniy. ueuaire snows a •Ugh* Democratic gain. Gaiien, {Lent. Ceehasten, Lancaster, Mansfield and 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. THE FIRST IMFKEKSION. both but that from 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 ed. . Congreetuinn E.

The balance of the Democratic ticket lias a small majority. The Dem ocrats will have the Sheriff’and State’s Attorney, one inomber ot the House of Delegates a.ml ami one Assessor. The Republicans elect one member of the House of Delegate*, one Assessor, the Clerk of Court and Surveyor. Charlestown, W. Va., October 16. —Kanawha (this) county gives a large fusion majority, ranging from 800 to 1,000. Maxwell, tlie fusion candidate leaves this [county with fnllv 1,300. Wilson, the Democratic nominee for Governor,'will carry the Stateby 9,000. The Democrats in this county lose alt the officers except a few constables and justices of the peace. Wheeling, W. Va., Oclobcr 17.— As far as hoard from fwenty-eight counties of this State give Democratic majorities of 12,133, twenty-two coun ties give a Republican majority of 9,277, leaving a Democratic majority ot 2,856, with four counties to hear from, which may increase the Demo cratic majority 1,200. The Democratic plurality in 1880 was 16,136 and their majority 3,100 over Republicans and TTrcciibackers.

This State, Massachusetts Connec ticut and New Jersey aro the centre of tho Republican revolt. It ha«l no foothold in Ohio where it could not even get Its arguments published aa advertisements, while here it has the ablest dally and weekly press of the country. The only element of uncer tainty here is the local faction fight. WEST VIRGINIA HAFK. 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.” Mom* Canjcht Aptln. Detroit, October 17.—The man ar rested here some days since for swindling the Rev. D. Kcxford, and who gave the name of Thomas May, turns out to bo Franklin J. Moses, a notorious rogue who was made Gov ernor of South Carolina by the Repub licans in the daya of “good stealing.” He was identified by officers from Cambridge, Mass., where be is wanted. B**eh*r to Talk Por CIovoImA. New York, October 14.—The Inde pendent Republican Committee, of Kings county have engaged the Brook lyn rink for tho evening of the S2d, and Henry Ward Beecber has promis ed to make there the first speech in the for Cleveland and Hendricks. 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. Horribly Maaglod. Harrisburg.

Tte A Out* |»i—by*ry I'a^nlmoatly Op- y**4 to tte New DortrlM TsayKt Ib tte OBlaatbU Seatiaary. Forsyth, Oa., October 20.—The Atlanta l*resbytcry recently in session 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 Epithelioma or Mkla C—*BV. 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.

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.
