COUNTING TUE VOTE.
^Uneasiness and Uncertainty Among the
Politicians-Everybody Claiming a
Majority.
The rote bi last Wednesday was one ol the
closest ever cast In Ch arie 8 LOU County. It has
been so close that the political leaders them?
selves are unable to determine this morning
who are and who-are not elected. The frag?
mentary returns that came In during
tbe day yesterday, caused alternate
spasms ol hope and despair among
both Mackeyltee and Bowenltes, but
the candidates themselves, as they pon?
dered the returns quietly last evening, admit?
ted that lt was Impossible to say with so;
certainty who han been elected. An accurate
return ol the vote might have been presented
If the officials who were placed In charge of
the boxes and returns had proved themselves
more^actlve and desirous of Informing the
community of the reBult ol an election in
which a deep Interest was felt by all classes ot
citizens. The managers of elections In many
of the precincts, both in the elly and country.
were very dilatory lu forwarding their re?
turns, and the com missioner Tof elections who
received the returns manifested a singular un?
willingness to furnish any information what?
ever. THE NEWS ls indebted for the factB and
figures herewith published solely to Its own
reporters, and has not only received no assist?
ance from the politicians, but bas obtained
the comparatively full returns which it pre?
sents this morning In spite ol their endeavors
to conceal and befog the truth.
The returns received up to the hour of going
to press are not conclusive as to the general
result In the county as between the Mackey
and Bowen factions. The returns from the
city give a majority ol 1474 ior Mackey, with
Wards 1 and 8 to hear from. Ward 1 will add
4100 to this majority, and the vote In Ward 8 ls
claimed to be In Mackey'a favor. Mackey
may thus have a majority ot 2000
In the city, but the returns from
the country precincts as given below, show a
Bowen majority ol 2066. It Is evident that
Bowen comes Into the city with a majority of
?bout 2000, and lt is doubtldl whether
Wkey has a sufficient advantage in the city
to overcome that majority. Both candidates
claim to be elected, and lt ls reasonably cer?
tain that however the vote may be declared a
protest will be made by tbe loser.
We give herewith the latest and fullest pos?
sible returns from every precinct in the elly
and country, and lt ls only upon these figures
that any accurate estimate of the result can
safely be based.
Tbe Keturns from tbe Country*
The counting ol the vote at the country pre?
cincts was as tardy and unsatisfactory as In
the various wards of the city, and lt was im?
possible to obtain the official returns last j
evening from any of the rural polling places.
There were unofficial reports and rumors lu
abundance, however, and from them the fol?
lowing figures have been obtained, which
may be relied upon as the nearest possible ap?
proach to the actual returns.

ROBBING A PRIMA DONNA.
The Modern Fra Dlavolo and His Ap?
pearance.
Miss Violetta Colville, the young American
prima donna, and her mother were waylaid by
highway robbers while enjoying a carriage
ride between Al bis?la and Savons, Italy. The
letler relating the adventure ls so Interesting
that we deem lt worthy of making some ex?
tracts:
The day before we left Savons I thought lt
would do Violetta good to go to the beauu and
walk In the Bea air, she being yet not entirely
strong, so we took a carriage and drove to the
Utile village of Albisuia. Atter walking about
an hour ou the shore of this very beautiful
beach-hard and clean from Its billions ol
many-colored pebbles-we started to return
home. We had got about half a mile from
Alblsola when the carriage Btopped, and the
driver said that something was the matter
with the vehicle, and Out lt could go no fur?
ther. He said we must walt there and be
would go Into town for another carriage. I
was not at all suspicious nor alarmed, and the
beauty of the place where we were made me
rather pleased than otherwise to remain for
ihe hour that must ensue before our driver
could return. We were in a Utile valley, or .
rather a gorge, lor the hills rose on each side
and the mountains lay behind when we faced
the sea, which was Just visible through ihe
gorge. We strolled about enjoying ourselves,
when I heard Viole tra say, "Fur mero) 'a sake,
who are these people?" i turned round and
saw advancing from ihe seaside Ave rough
looking men, who, from the shape of the
road, had managed to remain concealed from
view until they were within about a rod or so
ot us. To run would have been ridiculous; il
would have shown tear where, perhapB, none
was necessary; or, If so, we bad no place to
run to; and so, alibougu inwardly trembling,
I did not allow Violetta to think I was irlgut
ened, but said, "Oh, ibey are laborers proba?
bly returning home." But we were quickly
undeceived wbeu one ot them advanced aua
asked lu a tone uot al ali agreelug with his
language if we had not a lew ceutisslml for a
poor man? To galu time, or, rather, gather
my thoughts, I pretended uot to understand
Italian, and asked him in Freuch wnat he de?
sired. In the meantime I bad slid my hand lu
my pocket aud slipped off ujy.rings iroin my
lingers. He said that tie aud tus com races '
would like a little assistance lo the way of 1
money from ihe mesdames. I hud drawu out
my pockeibook and was proceeding lo opeu lt
when our brlgauds, not at all like thu bri?
gands ot (he drama, did not walt to accept
with nollie phrase any offering I might chouse 1
to give him, but Incontinently tnatcued ii from
my band. When he opened lt the others
crowded around bim, and seelug its conten?a
(there were about six hundred irancs lu notes '.
ot various denominations,) appeared highly j
contented; but wishing doubtless to nave a
souvenir of their uuwllung benelacireses, re- 1
quired of me my walch also; which, when I
tm i given them, they made off with, first
convluctng themselves that Violetta had
neither watch nor purse about her. As I,
happy that we had escaped without further
loss or injury, looked aller toe rascals, I could ]
not help thinking ot the decline of the bil- ,
gaud species. Aiasl where were the steeple
crow u ed hals aud flowing ribbons? Wa ere 1
were ihe silken bose wound about with many 1
colored tapes that make the legs ol ihe opera
singers look like eccentric baruer-poles? Alasl
these real brigands were dirty, hail clad and ,
wholly ragged specimens ot thai humanity 1
most nearly aided lo ibu brute family. Now,
If they had only been stage bilgauds they
would have recognized ine young prima .
donna assolula Signorina Violetta Colville;
they v.'Otild have compelled ber io sing an 1
aria ou he spot, Ac, ?o.; but, ob, Bbame ior
the romance ot real lue! we lost our money to
a set ol ragamuffins, and had not even the
consolation ol having lt taken from us by a 1
gentleman (!) with a high-crowned hat, with
a tall of gorgeous ribbons, and who would
sing while he took lt, to soothe our wounded
feelings. There's where lt stings; there's 1
where we are humbled. But to return to
A.bis?la.. The driver came shortly alter the
departure" of 'ino thieves, and, although, lt
could not be proved against him, I will
al way B believe thal he was In league with
them.

The past month has again been one of gre

to note an average decline ol about id. per 1
At the date of our last report a slight ; Ii

came over public opinion about the pr^S
ol the crop, and the very low Ideas of bril
Mme to be generally abandoned. The coun
ol Manchester, however, cansed great dlsa
polntmeut, buyers ol goods refused io respor
tc the advance bere, spinners withdrew iro
our marker, and a sudden relapse into d
; pression took place, and Ina few days- all tl
advance waa lost. New sources o? uneaaloe
sprang Up." Rumors of approaching fallur
ou a large scale got Into circulation, and tbei
was great pressure to sell In our marke
owing apparently to financial weakuesi Th
applied chiefly to East India cotton, whk
was slaughtered In an unmerciful manne;
The receipts at the American ports were ale
much larger than had been expected, ac
prices lu America fell so rapidly that lt cause
people to distrust the bhort estimates ol ero
which had lately been coming. To add t
this, the money market began to barden, an
a fear of dear money spread through, com
merdai circles.
The gloom In our market kept tncreaslnc
till about the 21sl ult., aod the lowest polo
loucbed was 92 d. for middling uplands on th
spot, 9jd. for alstant shipments, and 64d. lo
fair Dhollerah, October delivery. At this pola
rather a Armer tone came over the market
quotations from America steadied, and began
henceforward, to tend slowly upwards. Th
trade having got entirely out of stock, begai
to buy more freely, and the excessive pres
sure to sell abated; still, the lmprovem?o
was very feeble, and was suspended for a da
or two by the rise of the bank rate to 4} pe
cent., and renewed uneasiness about monet?r
matters. Upon the whole, however, there li
no doubt that a healthier tone has come ove
the market the past few days, and cotton li
all positions has improved ?J. to id. from fbi
lowest point, closing quietly at 6}d. lor fall
Dhollerah, and 9 9-16:1. tor middling uplands
on Ihe spot, and 9?a. for December ahlpmeni
of new crop...
The Manchester market bas been constant
ly depressed all through the past month, spin
ners and manufacturers bave alike done .
loslog business, and greut complaints arc
heard ot the wretched condition of the trade
There has never been any degree ot activity
In the demand, and buyers have held off til
they could get goods on their own terms. Tb?
areal rall in cotton has, so far, scarcely bene
fited Manchester at all, and there la no doubi
tbat a large section of the trade ls being car
ried on at a dead loss.
The deliveries, of cotton , to spinners oon
tlnue amazingly small, and strengthen us lt
the opinion we put forward In onrlast circa
lar that the consumption has greatly fallen on*
?nd we iodine now lo put it at 68,000 bale
for the Elogdom, Including a great propor
Hon of small bales, and equal in weight tt
63,000 bales oWhe average consumed las
year. As lt was generally computed tbat tbi
consumption last year was 60.000 bales pe;
week, this Indicates a falling off of about 1!
per cent., and lt has arisen, not Trom tin
stoppage of spindles (lor there ls very ll ttl
short time.) but from great economy and th
resort to hlgb numbers of yarn.
At the same lime we must remember tba
spinner? have now rou tbelr stocks not ono
In this country, but all over Europe, to tm
minimum point compatible with workln{
their mlilB, and they have no longer the po wei
of holding off from this market; their oon
sumption, we believe, cannot be reduced
lower, for we have little ialth In any exten?
sive resort to short lime, and any Improve
ment in trade will Increase lt. All caleula
tloos of future consumption made Just noa
are apt to be on too low a scale, Just aether
were on too large a scale ut the begining o
the year. The pendulum has swung ronud.
and from an exaggerated degree ol buoyancj
we have reached an extreme degree of hope?
lessness, and everything Is measured by this
depressed standard, lt ls marvellous bo?
the statistics of cotton are affected by the
state ol feeling In the trade, and we must
make allowance for this "deviation or the
compass" In all our calculations. -
Tne accounts from the Eastern markets still
continue very poor, and since the failure ol
aied8tanes there has been no life lu the de?
mand; the distrust lt has engendered seriously
Interferes with business, and limits lu a
marked degree the buying powers ot opera?
tors for the East. We incline, however, to
think that matters have about seen theil
worst In Manchester, and that some Improve?
ment In demand is not lar distant.
Tlte money market has decidedly tightened
during the past month, and the rate of dis?
count has advanced Irom 3} to 4} per cent.,
and there has prevailed an uneasy feeling lest
the rise should go further. The position of
the Bank of Engiand ls still a very sound one,
but our heavy food requirements, o ?log to
the efficient harvest, must tell on our bullion
reserves, and necessitate stiff rates of Interest,
and we iodine to the opinion tbat still higher
rates are before us, at the same time we see
no cause for anxiety about money matters;
trade generally ls sound, a cautious feeling
prevails, and we are well prepared lor a
moderate degree of stringency. Notwith?
standing the rumors of failures that have been
flying aoout lt, lt cannot be doubted that com?
mercial and banking circles have on the
whole acted cautiously since the paolo ol 1866,
and the accumulations of profit for the last
three years mus', have been very great. We
think we are still tar from the period when
any crisis in monetary affairs can reasonably
Oe expected, and a lime of moderately dear
money would have a wholesome effect In
checking unsound expansion.
The prospects of our market are at the
present time balanced as lt were on a pivot
betten America and Manchester. These
ooles of attraction Influence lt lo opposite
directions, and ?e the moment just about
counterbalance each other.
We have to report that a great change bas
come over crop prospects In America since
the end of August. At one time the most
sanguine views prevailed, and estimates of
tour millions were freely Indulged in. This
was founded upon the luxuriant aspect ol the
plant up HU the middle of August, but to?
wards the end ol that month a severe visita?
tion of worms occurred In Alabama and South?
west Georgl8., and more or less In several
other tracts or. country, and large quantities of
cotton were stripped bare ot foliage, and the
growth of the plant stopped. At the same time
an equal or even greater amount of Injury
was done from "rust." This arose from long
spells of hot dry weather, which caused the
plant to wither and shed Its bolls, and check?
ed the development of tbe Hop orop," from
which the increase in the late autumn months
ls chiefly derived when the picking season ls
prolonged. The letters written from the
Southern States, about the beginning of Sep?
tember, r?neclaliy from Alabama, Mississippi
and Southwest Georgia, are most doleluHn
their tenor; they state *bat the crop was pre?
maturely ripened, and that there would be
Utile or no L'top crop," and that most of the
planters would have done picking by October,
und their favorite estimate is three and a
quarter millions, some going as low as three
millions.
Much attention has recently been paid to the
large receipts, and many argue that they
prove a large crop. We do not think so; the
premature ripening o? the crop from worms
and drought, in a great measure, accounts mr
them, and we consider that they have baroiy
any bearing at all on the size oj ihe crop,
moreover they only }WT*g??*
Ilon entertained In America abootthe extentoi
the crop la the price paid tor future delivery
in New York, and we rind that for March and
April next year the quotations la two cents or
nearly a penny per poand higher than oil the
spot. We believe that the policy plan tere-are
pursuing is to sell freely of the early receipts
to meet their pecuniary wants and replace
with contracta lor distant .delivery; and'they
fhi^i? "Pe*? ?be rame of last season,, when
? fe*** ?the rige Jn th?l?,
ET??.5?Id he?*y contraots fn New York
bought at low prices. For this reason lt tm
rl ?nllke'y that the weakest
point of the American markets will be early,
in the season, and that when half the crop ls
sold there wm "be a strong attempt to extort a
higher price for the remainder. .
Were we to* look to* America alone, we
should Incline to take rather a sanguine view
of onr market, but when we tura to Manches?
ter we must qualify lt coosiderabl;. Toe. de?
pression there is too deep-rooted to be easily
removed/aDd we ?e?r-wirhave to face a long
period of unprofitable trade. The eiceaslve
price of coal, and Indeed di everything that
enters luto the business or" a cotton spinner,
hangs like an Incubus on the trade. Foreign
markets are a'l depressed, merchants are dav
couraged from a lom? spell of unprofitable
business, and lt is difficult to see where any
substantial Improvement can come frons, ex?
cept cheaper raw material,. We fear that can?
not be counted oh; owing to the unlavorabre
not? Sf.000,?'*irom America, but we mcurt-e*
KJftT???3?*1* "toMwialy everyad
vance lu, our market, and render no aid, aa it
d'd last season, to the speculative movement.
The Immediate future of onr market has this
lu its ia vor. that the stock must run. dbwn
rabidly for the next two months. There ia
very little cotton due Ihls'mbnth-lndeed, oar
Hst of cotton afloat1 hardly ever looked io
small; the shipments . irom. America, are
trifling, and win not bo large till thereto mom
confidence felt on this side, and it is evident
that we shall beran as bare aa possible before
the sew crop arrives freely. In the lace- of
this lt will bo difficult to.pre vent the price ?L
American cotton hardenia? on the spot. ,'
Bast India cotton, we think,, baa been forr>
ed entirely too low from financial presente:
we never remember lt relatively so cheap
compared with American. The lower grades
are scarcely any dearer than they Were in the
spring ot 1871, when middling uplands totten ed
Td; indeed, we have salas made a? low as at
any time since 1860. We believe this cotton
will pay to hold till the spring of next year,
and give a handsome profit, it American re?
ma] ns where lt is. Though our own spinners
are very slow to Increase the consumption ol
lt, lt ia. being .largely'used on the continent,
and the export demand ls decidedly Improv?
ing-so that our present unwieldy stock mutt
steadily decrease. - From Bombay acarely any
cot toa ?Ll be shipped tUl next year, for Ibo
countryls atmosfewept of the old crop; abd1
from Calcutta and the other ports vt<ry nnie>
will oom? forward while Bengal and Madras
cotton keep SQ low. We do not expect that
the Import of East India cotton into Liverpool
will exceed 10,000 bales per week till next
March, and should.the Americas crop .turn
out small, we may expect an Importan'- ad?
vance later ou; whereas, If lt turns out larger
than we expect, Bunts will probably at least
hold their ground; ' ? --rrac?iir? A-'
