THE REPUBLICANS CARRY THE COUNTRY BY A HEAVY VOTE. All the "Doubtful States" Give Their Elec toral Votes Against the National Democ racy-Details of the Result. Every State voted for Presidential electors on the 6th instant. Every State except Maine, Oregon and Vermont elected members of Congress, each or ganized Territory elected delegates and State offices; and members of the Legis lature were chosen by Colorado, Con necticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, In diana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minne sota, Missouri,Nebraska,North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin. - California elected her Legislature, Chief Justice and Associate Judge of the Supreme Court. Iowa and Ohio elected minor State officers. Nevada elected a Supreme Judge, regents of the Univer sity and Legislature. NewjHampshire and Tennessee elected Governors and Legislatures. New Jer sey elected the Legislature. New York elected a Governor, Judge of the Court of Appeals and Legislature. Pennsylvania elected the Supreme Court, Auditor and Legislature. Proposed amendments to their con stitutions, or general laws, were voted upon by Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Ne vada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. The interest in the contest centred chiefly on New York, and next on New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. New York. NEw Yonx, November 6.-2.45 A. M. -Returns received at the United Press office by counties, by majorities which are estimated, indicate that Harrison has carried New York by about 10,000 plurality. NEw Yonx, November 6.-The Herald this morning says: At the hour of going :o press with our first edition, the prob abilities indicate the election of Gen. Harrison to the Presidency. This opin ion is based upon dispatches received from all the States in the Union and which may be divided as follows: Cleveland-Alabama, Arkansas, Con necticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis sissippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia, 168. Harrison-Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michi gan, Minnesta, Nebraska, New Hamp shire, New York, Vermont and Wiscon sin-207. Doubtful-California, Nevada and In iana-26. Necessary to elect, 201. Conceding the votes of Connecticut and New Jersey to Mr. Cleveland and regarding Indiana, California and Ne vada as .doubtful, Gen. Harrison has a majority in the electoral college. The figures show the election of David B. Bill as Governor, and of Hugh J. Grant as mayor. Political lesson of the elec tion is that the national supremacy of the Democrat party has been sacrificed to the ambition of David B. Hill and Abram S. Hewitt. NEw YoR, November 6.-The city complete gives for Mayor, Grant 107, 537, Hewitt 68,134, Erhardt 67,725, Coogan 9,455. NEW YoRn, November 6.-Total city ote, allowing for 4 election districts in asis of vote 852 districts, Cleveland 62,907; Harrison ,105,821; .Fisk 1,300; Nin huded and eleven outside dis rits give Harrison 222,599; Cleveland 76,851;' Fisk 104,657. The same in 1884 gave Blaine 198,552, leveland 163,457, St. John 9,620. NEw YoBE. November 6.-Returns al ready received indicate that the entire ammny city aod county ticket is keted by a large plurality. The Re ublicans run about even with the coun y Democrats. Nuw YOBK, Novmber 7,.-There is othing to change the indications that arrison has carried this State. The fficial count in New York city gives arrison 105,726 and Cleveland 162i,981; leveland's majority 57,255. The Evening Telegram (Dem.) eays arrison carries the State by about 0000 and Hill by 17,000. The Commercial Advertiser says late returns indicate the election of Hiarrison, nd that Hill has 1.0,000 plurality. The Mail and Express (Rep.) says arrison has the State by over 10,000. The World says Cbairman Bie re ues to concede Harrison's election. Hie has not yet conceded New York State. The Republican National Committee make the following statement to the jublic: RinUBLacas Na2IosAn BEADQUARTERS, November 7.--In view of c aim being promulgated by the DemocraticNational Committee that they have carried the State of New York for Cleveland, and that they are sending telegrams to their local committees all over the State to that effeet, the Republican National Committee have sent out to the Chair man of each Republican County Com mittee of the State the following tele gram: Although full returns from every county in the State show New York salely for Harrison by upwards of 15,000 plurality, the Demrocrats are telegraph ng to their county chairmen claiming the State and urging them to pay atten tion to the returns. See to it that the returns are thoroughly guarded till m ptitor to negro labor, as greatly superior in efficiency and reliabilhty. T'.e deesy of the negro plantation labor is marked. In 1863 nine tenths of the plantation hands were colored; in 1878 eight-tenths, and this year the figure is reduced to seven-tenths, with a prospect of a much more rapid redaction in the next few few years. The secret of success in sugar raising is shown to be in small farms and white labor. As a rule the few settlers coming here from New Eng land and the West, of which several hundred families have come in the past two years, will not employ negroes as field bands at all. On~e, white man in the fld is worth two negroes. Meantime the negroes have almost monopolized the freight hand business of the cities and landings. As steamboat roustabouts they are always in demand at from $50 to $75 per month and sauce on their pudding, so there is no fear that they will starve. A Murderer Arrested.

Thompson Shows the Utter Falsity of the Statements of the Plumed Knave Respecting the Treasury. A Washington special to the New York Herald says: I called to-night at the residence of Acting Secretary of the Treasury Hugh S. Thompson, in relation to the following declaration made by Mr. Blaine in his speech at New Haven, Conn. Mr. Blaine is quoted in to-day's Herald as saying on that occasion: '"I find that ther has been $60,000 loaned to the national banks without interest. I say loaned to the national banks, the pet banks, while only $4, 500,000 have gone to pay the debt of the nation during the past month." Governor Thompson read the para graph carefully, and then with great deliberation said: "Ihis is of a piece with the many other wilful misrepre sentations which Mr. Blaine has made about the treasury department. No man who has been as long in pa lic life as Mr. Blaine, and who is a familiar with public matters as he, could have made that statement and believed it to be true when he made it. Mr. Blaine's obvious purpose was to deceive the masses, but he knew perfectly well that no banker or other business man familiar with the treasury statements, which are issued monthly, would be misled by his mis representations. "The last public debt statement, is sued November 1, shows that the debt, less ttie cash in the treasury November 1, was about $4,500,000 less than it was October 1. This Mr. Blaine assumes to represent the actual decrease in the public debt. As a matter of fact," con tinued the acting secretary, "I purchased during the month of October of the interest-bearing debt over $29,000,000 worth of bonds. I cannot state the premium accurately, as I have not the data at hand, but I should say, speaking generally, that it amounted to upward of $4,500,000 additional, making in all about $33,500,000 decrease in the debt during the month of October." Passing to the oft-repeated charge that the secretary of the treasury had loaned $60,000,000 to the national banks of the country, without interest, Gover nor Thompson said: "The object sought to be conveyed by this statement is that the' bene'siciaries in each case are banks owned or con trolled by Democrats. My best reply to this is a quotation from the speech delivered by Secretary Fairchild at the business men's meeting Wall street on the 13th of October last. Rleferring to this very charge Mr. Fairchild said: "I need not add that there was abso ltely no favortism in this matter, the banks were designated and deposits made in the order of the applications, political and personal friends and foes were treated exactly alike, the widest possible distribution was sought, until almost every State and Territory had one or more depositories and could use of the money which rightfully belonged1 to their business. There are a number. of banks with deposits of a million and over. I know the politics of the o ilicers of very few of these depositories. Bat Ihave in my mind now-a half doz n where I know the officers to be promi nent and zealous Republicans, and I 1 can think of but one where the officers are Democrats of prominence. But , have never given a thought to the poli ties of the bank officer. My only thought was the security of the deposit and re lief to the public from financial dis tress.' "Referring to Mr. Blaine's further declaration that out of the $60,000,000 thus loaned a large fund had been pro vided to re-elect Mr. Cleveland, the act ing secretary simply remarked, 'That is too absurdly false to dignify with a de The Western National Bank got money on deposit of national securities, just as hundreds of other national banks got it. The amount could not exceed a million of dollars, and in putting it out the treasury knew nothing about the political preferences of any bank presi-' dent or other officer. Pen Picture of the Midnight Sun. The'~idnight sun is 'thus discribed in "A Jubilee Jaunt to Norway." Imagine yourself on a ship at anchor looking west or straight in front of you. There is a broad expanse of sea a little to your right hand, behind you will be the rgged coast, and to your left the Iong, narrow fiord between the islands and the mainland that the steamer has just tra versed. 'You watch the sun as it slowly, slowly sets; the island and the coasts look like a rich, dark purple, and the shadows cast by the ship's mast, &c, grow longer and longer. After a bit, when the sun had sunk apparently twelve feet from the horizon, it stops and seems to remain stationary for about twenty minutes; then the very seagulls hide away, while the air on a sudden strikes chilly. Each one has an awed, expect ant feeling, and surrounding even the tourist steamer broods a silence that may be felt. Soon the sun rises very slowly once again, and the yellow clouds change with his uprisirg to even greater beuty, ilrst to the palest primrose and then to a bluish pink. The sky, which was just now rose color, becomes gray, then pale emerald green, and lastly blue. Rock after rock stands out caught by the sun's bright rays, and the reign of day has begun once more. Statisties of Divorce. The bureau of statistics has been en gaged for a considerable time past in the effort to ascertain the number of divorces that have been granted in the United States during the twenty years between 1866 and 1886. The compilation is very nearly completed. The statistics bear ing upon the subject have been derived from the records of the tw'enty thousand courts of law having jurisdiction in th'e matter. The report, it is said, will con tain a vast amount of information of great value from a national point of view, and particularly as a basis of future legislation. There is no country in the civilized world where marriage is so easy as in the United States, and where divorces are so common. "Did you ever meet Miss Ruggles's fa ther?" said one travelling man to another. "Yes, once or twice." 'Pretty old man, isn't he?" "Not so very; at any rate, he is quite young enough to trip the light fants tic toe." "The light fantastic toey" "Yes, wit me on the end of it." TOO MUCH EXERCISE. A School Girl Said to have been Paralyzed by Calisthenics. (From the Philadelphi Record.) The calisthenics drill by Section 3 of Class C of the Girls' Normal School is condemned by Druggist Charles R. Haig, who alleges that the length and severity of the present system is re sponsible for the serious illness of his sixteen-year-old daughter, Anna. This is Miss Anna's second year in the Nor mal School, and she belongs to a class that is assigned two hours eachalternate week for instruction in the calisthenic department. The girls are all clad in ex ercise suits of flannel and use light wooden dumb-bells and wands for gym nastic purposes. Section 3 consists of sixty girls, the majority of whom have had a year's experience in calisthenic exercises. The delia puls, who in eluded a small proportion of the class, are E'ccused from physical exercise on the presentation of a physician's re quest. On Friday night, after her ex ercise in the calisthenc department, Miss Haig was taken with violent pains in the neck and head. By Saturday the right side of her face was paralyzed. Dr. Ziegler, the family physician, ascribed the paralysis to over-indulgence in calis thenic manoeuvres. The young lady has suffered very much, and Mr. Haig says that under no circumstances will he allow his daughter to resume physical exercise when she shall return to the Normal School. The physical exercises are given under the supervision of Miss Grace Spiegle, who is a person of experience in the calisthenic departments attached to pub schools, and is known to be very con siderate of her pupils. "l distinctly re member that Miss Heig was excused' from calisthenics all of last term on the presentation of a physician's certifieste that she was unable to indulge in such exercises," said Miss Spiegle yesterday. "But Section 3 of Class C has had only one hour this term'tn calisthenics. But one hour and fifteen minutes actual time in two weeks is devoted by C 3 to my department. The time is dividedin this way: Ten minutes are devoted to the use of the wand and afiteen to explaining the physical movement. This interval rests the scholars and another ten min utes are spent in exercising. The girls then recite a portion of the lesson, and after this second rest a short conversation is indulged in, and the session closes with ten minutes more of exercises. I watch the girls very closely, and any Scholar who I think is not capable of en during the easy exercises I eyruse from performing them. Contrary to proving an injury, it has greatly benefitted the young girls, as numbers of. then} oeg testify, and they look forward with pleasure to the hour they spend in my department." Wanted the Postmaster. "Where's the postmaster?" demanded a long, bony woman, with a freckled face, who presented herself it one of the deliv ery windows in the post office the otler day. "What is it you wish, madam?" inquired the clerk. "Are you the postmaster?" 'No, ma'am, but-" "Thought you didn't look old enough. IS the postmaster I want, young man. I ion't want no truck with you. Will you go and tell him I'd like to see him?' "He is busy now; but if you will state your business, perhaps I ,can attend to it. You are keeping other people wait-" "Young man, I've walked eleven blocks to get here, and I pay as much to support this post office as any woman of my means in the city. I'm going to get what I came or or I'll raise the biggest row you ever saw. You're a-listening to me. are you, young man?" "I am, madam. Will you please tell me what you wish?" "I want to get a letter I mailed this mornin"g to Mrs. Edward Felix Winterbot tom, Newburyport, Essex county, Mass She's my cousin-" "What do you want it for?" "I want to write 'In haste' on.the back. I forgot to write it before I dropped it in, and the letter's important." "I can't do such a thing as that for you, ma'am. Besides, it isn't necessary." "It ain't, hey? Perhaps you know more about writing letters than I do. Perhaps you're 55 years old and have carried on a correspondence with friends in the Eatfor thirtyiseven years. you long legged1Iallowv haired dude. If you don't go and fetdh the postmaster-" But the post office policemen gently led her from the buildinig.-Chicago Tribune. Death or Isaac Hayne. Speaking of the death of Mr. Isaac Hayne, the News and Courier says: The shock felt at the announcement of the death of Mr. Isaac Hayne was not con ined to the large circle of his immediate triends, but extended ;throughout our entire community; and the recent knowl edge of his sickness had not prepared us for the melancholy tidings. With name and lineage identified through generations with the faithful discharge of high duties, Mr. Hayne in all the relations of life filled the full measure of responsibility. Of blameless life and gentle and amiable dis position, coupled with a tenacity and firm ness of purpose which never failed, he de served and won the confidence and regard of all to whom he was known; and his loss will be widely and de.eply felt. Mr. Hlayne was graduated from the South Carolina College in the class of 1858; and it was characteristic of him that his college friends remained his life-long friends. He .utdied law in the office of Hayne & Miles, of which firm his father, the Hon. Isaac W. Hayne, Attorney General of South Uarolin, was the senior member, and was admitte i to the bar in 1881. Mr. Hlayne was only in his 50th year, and ihis career seems to us to have been abrupt v and prematurely ended; but the exam 'l ef his lhfe will be a heritage not only to his children, but to the Bar, to the city and a' the State.
