We Will "Have a Look at .the Books"--The Republicans Must Gol A Glorious Victory over Corrup tion and Fraud ! PRESIDENT CLEVELAND ? -We have delayed the publication of | the INTELLIGENCER until thia (Thurs day) afternoon, in order to announce to our readers the result of the Presidential election, and non that enough has been heard to settle the contest we ure en abled to bring the tidings of a victory which has in it many surprises as to the Stutes which make it up, though the general result was anticipated with con fidence by us. At the hour of going to press we aro enabled from dispatches re ceived to announce that the States of New Jersey, Indiana, Connecticut aud New York have gone Democratic, and with them also tbe solid South, giving Cleve land two hundred and nineteen votes certain, or eighteen votes more than necessary to elect him. The Democrats are also confidently c'niming Wisconsin, Michigan and Nevada,-which would givo 21 votes moro. They BIBO claim Illinois, California and New Hampshire, where the vote is close. ThiB would give-thirty additional votes. We may sum up that Cleveland bas 219 votes certain, 240 probable, and 270 possible. He is, therefore, undoubtedly elected, aud will, if be lives to seo the fourth of next March, undoubtedly be our next President. The victory is sweeping and complete. The Democracy have done botter every where than was expected, except in Virginia, New York and Ohio. Virgin ia and New York were in doubt during Wednesday, but came out all right on Thu rr day, the majority in New York, however, being reported as less than two thoniand. Ohio went Republican by an increased majority. Massachusetts is close, and il is thought Blaine will carry ?We H?C?? S>- ?(.sn c. AAA -i--!_Itv tii-^ rrv?t?; i>? ;e~3 t??u uJSJW majority. Blaine's majority in the State of New York, down to the Harlem River, was j about sixty thousand, but the cities of New York and Brook ly n and the Counties in which they are situated, gave Cleve* lasd over sixty ihGa&snd majority, thus vriping out Blaine's vote and putting Cleveland ahead. It has been a contest against enor mous odds, end the victory is rendered all the more valuable in consequence j thereof. It prove? that virtue bas not left tho American people, and that they value official integrity above party ties or br??aoi ni?a'nrnen??. It argues well for the permanence, of our free institu tions and guarantees a return to pore government. The rascals baye been turned out and the country io safe. The Torch ia tho State.

AUGUSTA, October 29.-Last Sundaj a party of negroes disturbed the dedica lion ceremonies at a white church al Parksville, Edgefield County, by firing pistole and other boisterous conduct Complaint was msde, and to-day Officei Jas. Blackwell was sent with a warran! to arrest them. He found the negroe? barricaded in a bouse, and upon his ap proacb they fired upon and killed him. Much excitement prevails in thc place and Governor Thompson hos been noti fied of tbe trouble. A party of white men from Purksville were here to day for arms and ammunition, and endeav ored also to get a company of men to go from Augusta to their assistance. Governor Thompson received a dis Eatch yesterday from Mr. Bet hen, o? vdgelield, who was then in Augusta, informing him that Mr. Blackwell had been shot, and that the negroes were en trenched between (Stevena's Creek and Savannah Uiver, and asking for armed assistance to suppress any disturbance and secure tho arrest of tho negroes. Governor Thompson immediately tele graphed to tho sheriff to tnko such steps as was necessary and communicate fur ther with him. Governor Thompson bad made all his arrangements to speak at Bonneau'a to day, but in view of the occurrence in Edgefield County, and as it is probable that it will be necessury for him lo bo in Columbia, ho is unable, to bis great re gret, to keep his appointment. AUGUSTA, October 30.-The Augusta and Knoxville Railroad train has just come in. When il puased Purksville ibis morning there wau much excitement, but po danger of a collision between the hincks and whites. About 150 white mon were under arms. No negroes could bo seen. Four negroes, supposed to bc con? cerned in the riot, had been arrested and were in irons. Tho ringleader in the adair is still At largo, and is. supposed to bo hiding in the swamp. Two parties of mon, ono headed by Jobu Butler and the other by Press Blackwell, are scouring the country for him. James Blackwell is not dead, as was at first reported, but is mortally wounded. Thc po:- ?u which started out yesterday to I arrest the negroes who had disturbed the I church meeting on Sunday consisted ol six or seven. A negro woman, who san thom start and knew their purpose, took a abort cut and reached tho rioters before they did, informing them that the posse was coming. The negroes laid in ambush and when the posse approached fired a volley without warning, mortally wound ing James Blackwell. Tho posso return ed tho fire and the negroes Med. It was supposed that the rioters would get reinforcements and return, but there have been no Buch manifestations. Th? utmost excitement prevails in tho place, There ia nothiug political about thc affair. AUGUSTA, October 30.-Evening. There are no new developments to-night about the Parksville affair. Tho white people are still under arms, but t hore ie no further apprehension of trouble, Officers are searching everywhere for tho negroes concerned in the shooting, but up to the present timo they have not suc ceeded in finding the ringleaders. It ie believed now that two of them have come to Augusta, as tho uncle of one lives here and a relative of the other in Langley. It is admitted on ali banda that there was nothing political in the riot. The negroes eoein to have been fired by a spirit of deviltry and disturbed the church dedication OD Sunday for no other reason. It was comparatively a small party that fired upon the officers. Black well is alive yet, but is expected to die at any moment. Tho people of Pa.ksville and tho sur rounding country are greatly excited, but no more trouble is apprehended. It is riretty certain the men who did the shoot ng will be lynched if caught. The Au gusta police are looking for the two sup posed to bo here. It is reported that the negroes between Augusta and Edge?eid are disposed to be troublesome. A white man on a wagon coming lo this city was stopped by a party of them to day and ordered togo back home. He was compelled to turn back. AUGUSTA, Octobe.* 31.-A rumor was current here this morning that tho ne prnpA srrsGted 'it ?as-ks ville L-.-.d ali besu shot. The conductor of t..o Augusta and Knoxville Ka'! oad train reaching Augusta at 12 o'clock says this ia not so. There are seven negroes now under arrest, but the ring-leaders in the recent riot have not been caught. When tho train passed the excitement was still great Nearly all the white men from Merri . weather to Plum Branch are under arms. No negroes at all can be Been. AUGUSTA, October 81-Night.-The negro prisoners st Parskvillo have been carried* to Edgefield and lodged in jail. The country near Parksville is still in a ferment, but all danger of trouble is over. Bits the Wron? Han.. EARLY BRANCH, October 29.-A very serious accident happened thia morning to Mr. William M. Stokes, eldest son of Gae Wm. Stokes, of this pince. The following, in brief, am the circumstances : Several depredations had been perpetra ted on tbs store <-?" Steinmeyer & Stokes, and a gun had been "planted" in the store in such a way that a person passing behind ono of the counters would, shrike with his foot a string attached to the trigger and discharge the gun. This morning, Mr. O. W. Picken, the clerk of the firm, had forgotten, on opening the store, to detach the string*, as usual, and Mr. Slakes, who, with hie cousin, Dr. John L. Stokes, had gone down to the store to transact s little business before breakfast, was passing behind the counter to a show-cue, his cousin, the Doctor, being shout six feet in the rear of biro, when bis left foot struck the string. Tho gun was discharged and a fall load of buckshot literally tore sway the pos terior muscles of the middle portion of the right thigh. Dr. Stokes, as soon as he realized tbs nature of the accident and fearing the severance of the femoral artery, grasped bis cousin round the wounded leg and held him till assistance reached them, when Mr. Stokes was con veyed to bia residence, and Dis. Greg orio and HutRon prompt'.y pent j Tor. Although the wound is a serions ono, yet the bone is uninjured, and amputa tion will be unnecessary, A long period must necessarily elapse, however, before Mr. Sto'-cs will be able to leave his room. A well-known business mau of Chicago surprised bis friends, the other day. by turning up as crazy as a bed bug. As he had no bsd habits and waa in a sound financial condition, people were puzzled over his sudden derangement, but tho mystery was fully explained when it; was discovered that tho unfortu nate man's mind had been unhinged by reading campaign- literature. Tbe Only wonder is that tho entire country is coi full of howling lunatics, - -In their recent presentment, the grand lory of Spartanburg Cc as ?y cay : "Wo Lad observed with great picture tbe good effects of tho 'no. ?(censo* law throughout the whole co?pW.

CLAYTON, OA., October 29.-Last night waa enacted a tragedy that will be long remembered in this place. Mr. E. \V. Beck, while under the influence of whis ky, shot his wife through the brain and bin sister-in law, Misa Addie Bailie, through the cheat, the ball entering be tween tho 8th and Otb riba, behind on the left aide, and lodging just beneath the akin lo the right of the sternum in front, resulting in the instant death of the for mer and fatally wounding the latter. No cause in assigned except drunkenness, as they all appeared to be living amicably. Miss Bailie s home is in Cumming, Ga., and abe was here oa a visit to ber siater. Dr. Bailie, their father, lives at Cum-1 ming. Mr. Kugeno Beck surrendered to the aberiff, and wa? put in jail. The killing occurred about 9J o'clock. Dr. I Frank Smith baa taken chnrgo of Miss Bailie, and was working with nil his medical skill to save the unfortunate young lady. Captain Couch, of the Atlanta police department, was in Clayton, Babun couti ty, tho day after Eugene Beck murdered bia wife and gave his aimer in-law a mortal wound. Clayton is a Hinnll town, and, although situated in the mountains, once famous ns a rendezvous for illicit distilleries, its citizens have always been noted for their love of law, order and pence. he town ia au old one, but never since (ho first houae went up, has it Ind a sensation HO great ns the killing of Tuesday night, and never ngaiu in ult probability will tho good people bo called upon to witness such nn awful iragedy. The special telegram printed in yesterday's Contlitu Hon gave but a meager account of the double murder, but Captain Couch adds enough to it lo make thc story complete. Beck, the mau who has imbued his hand;i in the blood of thoso nearest and dearest to him ia a man well known in Rabun county, while Ma wifo was tho daughter of a successful physician nnd rimminent citizen of Forsyth county, loth families are widely related and their social position was tho best in tho land. Beck was roared by n devoted mother and a kind father mid in his youth wns given every advantage, lie ?vas a bright boy and wu? reputed to be tho handsomest oung mau in northeast Georgia. All of ls relatives were quite wealthy, and when he reached bis majority a bright future was before him. ile opened his career promisingly by marrying into a family whoie social and financial stand ing waa equal to his own. ilia wile, then his bride, was a young lady of beauty, itfinement mid intelli gence. * .om everywhere they secured congrntt ions upon their happy choice of life partners and their wedded lifo opened in a brightness which is a and contrast to ita dark and terrible ending. Endowed with a good mind and possessed of plenty, Beck soon made himself a prominent citizen. H?H business relations with the world were pleasant, while his home was all that could bo desired. But when yet a young man he began drinking, and as time went by that habit grew upon him until he became little better than n drunkard, ilia business of course suffered, but never did ho forget the peerless treasure he had in his wifo until Wednesday morning. HOW THE BUOOTINO OCCIUBRBD. Book's homo was incaled tienr the limit of tho town, but in the county jail he lind a room-n kind of business office. For nome weeks previous to the killing Beck bad been on a spree. Ho drank bard and recklessly, and his wife, who had tried time ana time again to roform bim, was so saddened by tho spree that she sent for her sister, Alias Hudio Bailie, to come to her. The sister went and their meeting was a touching one. Beck re ceived his sister in-law pleasantly but her presence had no effect on him. Tuesday he drauk harder than ever, and late that night sought his home. He found bis wife in bed, and without a word of warnins, drew his pistol and shot her through tho bead, killing her iustantlv. Tho ball entered the hoad in the back near tho neck and passing en tirely th'.ough, came out on the forehead. When the fatal shot was fired Mrs. Beck waB in the act of rising to greet her hus band, but sho was unconscious of her approaching doom, and so quick was her death that she probably never knew that her husband was her murderer. Mia? Bailie was attractod by the shot, but as she started through the door leading into tho room where her sister was dying, the husband directed the pistol toward her and fired. As bo drew the trigger the young lady wheeled to retreat, but ?he was too late, and the ball ploughed its way through her chest, entering on tho left sido behind, between the seventh and eighth ribs and patting to the front. No ono was near to prevent the deed, and when the second shot was fired Beck quietly walked from his house to his room in tho jail chere he locked himself in. Tbe sad nena flew fast and before thc body of tho murdered wife wns cold search was being made for Beck. He was found in his room in jail, but refused to open tho door, und when the door was finally forced those who entered saw him standing in the middle of tbe floor with tue tnuzilp of a cocked pistol against his right temple. Tho tableau was a fright ful one, but just as bis finger began to press the trigger someone sprang forward and knocken tho pistol from tho murder er and would-be suicide's band. He was then secured and placed in jail. The wildest excitement followed the killing. A messenger wis sent to Cumming, Forsyth county, to bear the sad Intelli gence to Dr. Bailie, the father of Beck's j two victims, sod then while the wounded lady was .being cared for gentle bands prepared the dead sister for burial. Tho murdered wife was a most estimable Iadv.! While "Miss Bailie is as bean tl fbi and accomplished as her .sister was when she married Beck,; Miss Bailie is only about nineteen years 'of age.' She will probably die. The pebple of Clayton account for the tragedy only in Beck's ' spree. He does not teem to realize hts awful crime and when questioned about the shooting says be thought ho was shooting dogs. NEWS PBOM CLAYTON.

Hicka, of Washington, tried to hang himself in his cell to day. Mose? was afterward? brought into the i>olico court, charged with swindling, ile pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to three months in the House of Correction. Ilia lawyer hopes to effect bis transfer to an insane asylum. Kx-Gov. Franklin J. Moue*, of South Carolina, charged with stealing $16 from Rev. E. I,. Rex ford, 1). D., pastor of tho llnivcrsalist Church, by obtaining that amount from him by falaely representing himself as Rev. Dr. Micka of Washing ton, spiritual adviser of Guiteau, the assassin ol President Garfield, made an attempt about 5 o'clock yesterday morn ing to bang himself in his cell in the County Jail. The prisoner made a rope from two handkerchief!*, which he placed around bia neck and tied ono end to his cell door, in Ward No. 4. He then kicked a stool on which he stood from under Ina feet, and was struggling when the noise was heard by a prisoner who occupied an adjoining cell. The inmates of thia ward aro not locked up in their celia at night. This saved the ex Gover nor's life. Tho prisoner who heard the noise arose and going into the corridor found Moses hanging. His free hid turned black, and in a minute or two more he would havG been atrangulated. The prisoner used an old pair of scissors which wero allowed in the ward for hair trimming purposes to cut the would be suicide down, and laid him on his bed, whore ho was revived through the exer? tiotiB of other prisoners, who had been awakened by a cry of alarm. Moses ?aid but little of his attempt, although he acknowledged that he was determined to die rather than go to prison. He real ized the position he was in and for sumo time hud been very despondent. This was thc first attempt at suicide in the jail for many years. Whon Moses was brought into tho police court yesterday afternoon for trial be looked very pale and feeble and dis played some nervousness. Ho wus neatly dressed in black, but had an unshorn free, which he turned away from the spectators who gathered to get n glimpse "ii bim. In front of the prisoners' box t Rev. Dr. Rexford with bis wife and ouughter, ready to proceed with the cafe. Moses eyed tho reverend gentlemnn whom he had swindled, but did not speak to him. At 2.15 o'clock Justice Miner called the case of "John F. May," when Ins attorney, George X. M. Collier, arose and asked that it bo continued un til the mental condition of his client could be established. He said that since the last adjournment of the caso he bad made diligent efforts to get witnesses here in bis behalf, but bad failed. He corresponded with a number of pensons in the Southern Statep, who were ac quaintances of tho prisoner, and received several answers ; but on account of the election excitement they could not come here until nftcr tho close of the campaign. Among the letters received was one from the Secretary of the Navy, who wrote that tho son of the prisoner is in the Naval Department in California. It was certain that he could not come to help bia father out. Jun tice Miner replied that the case had already been continued an unusunl length of time, and he could not aee bow the nrtftoner could be benefited by another adjournment. There is no positive assu rance that witnesses in bis behalf would be present at a future time. If a con tinuance was granted it could only be done until November 5, as the case will then have been in court for a month, and under the law it must be disposed of in that time-otherwise the court would have no jurisdiction. Mr. Collier said that bo was authorized by his client to say that if he does not furnish any evidence at the time ihe ea sn is adjourned to be will withdraw his ?lea of not guilty and plead guilty, be attorney agreed that if the court was disinclined to grant another adjourn ment it would be useless to proceed to trial, as the /acts in tho case were well understood and a trial would be waived. Thu court asid that he had been very indulgent in the matter of continuing the case, both to the complainant and tho defendant. The business of the court demanded that it bo disposed of within the time prescribed by law Mr. Collier said in answer to this that an adjournment of two or three days would be of. no benefit to him. Justice Miner-"What do you intend to show for your client? ' Mr. Collier-"I desire to prove by medical testimony that my client ?B en tirely irresponsible for his acts. He bas been traveling from placo to place engsged in the business he is charged with here. I don't know anything about him except what be hsB personally told me and what I have seen in the papers." The Court-"I have no judicial knowl edge of the case." Mr. Collier consulted Moves and ihen announced that he would withdraw his plea of not guilty and enter one of guilty. The attorney asked the court whether he would defer passing sentence. Justice Miner said be could not do this, and then addressing the prisoner naked bim if be desired to withdraw bis plea. : "I do," replied Moses. "Have you anythi og to say for your self?" "I desire to say so much that I do not wish to trespass on the time of the court in my case. "You have the whole afternoon before you. I will listen patiently *o what you say." Moses again said that ho did not wish to go to trial and the court then sentenced him to imprisonment in the House of Cotrection tor ninety dajs without the alternative of a fine. Mr. Collier asked that the prisoner bo allowed to remain in jail until Monday before being taken to prhon, which tho court granted. - ?. -. Moses was then taken back to jail and confined in the fourth ward. He was visited by a patrolman who had known him in South Carolina while ho was Governor and pleasantly chatted with him for a few minutes, recalling incl? dents of the time when he was in power. The handkerchief vi th which he at tempted to commit suicide wilt he kept by Turokey Troy as s curiosity and csre will be taken that ho will not repeat his attempt during his stay In jail. The charge against the prisoner of ob taining money from Rev. J. C. AUer bury uuder falso pretenses will bs. hsard when hie term or imprisonment expires.
