Ul« readers of this paper have al ready heard the glorious news of the election of Grover Cleveland as Presi dent, and Thomas A. Hendricks as Vice-President, of the United States. The following extracts from^aily pap ers will give sonic Idea of the charac ter of the battle fought and won on Hie 4th day of November, 1884, and of the results In the different States of the Union: [From the Nero* ami Vwrier, November !>.] At this hour, 3 A. M, the telegrams from the North and West leave it in doubt whether Cleveland or Blaine is elected. Early in the night all the re ports were favorable to Cleveland, and at one time it was confidently asserted that the Democrats had carried New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, In diana, California and Nevada, as well as the Solid South, and had a chance of carrying Massachusetts and Wiscon sin, besides securing 8 votes on the Fusion ticket in Michigan. Before midnight there was a change for the worse in the character of the returns. It is now uncertain that Cleveland has carried New York State, although the chances are still in his favor. The Hc- J mblicans claim to have carried New fersey, whore the latest Democratic rc- tnrns’give 7,000 majority, and, besides this, boast that they have placed Vir ginia in the Itepublican column. The probabilities still are that the Dcmoorats will be shown to have car ried New Jersey and Indiana, and most likely Connecticut, and there is noth ing discouraging and much that is en- couragintr in the reports from Mlchi- « m and Wisconsin. Without Ntsw ork State, however, Cleveland can not bo elected. Wo hope to be able, in a few hours, to give more definite tidings of the re sult of the momentous contest which took place yesterday. The following dispatch from the Hon. B. B. Smalley, secretary of tlw National Democratic Committee, was received at ^ A. M.: Nkw Yor.K, November 4.—To F. W. Dawson: Wc have carried New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and think wc have carried Indiana. B. B. Smai.lky. [ brom the Next* ami Courier, Nuv-mbrr 6. ] The long agony is not yet over. Until late last night it was confidently claimed by the New York Timet and by the National Democratic Committee that Cleveland hud a plurality of 5,000 In New York Statc v Later dispatches, however, brought the unwelcome in telligence that the vote was so close that the official count would be neces sary to determine whether Blaine or Cleveland had carried the State. The prospects for the Democrats are brighter by far than yesterday; but Blai ne is reported to have been sum moned to New York—for no good pur pose, wc mav be sure—ami it is diffi cult to tell what to-day will bring forth. New Jersey and Connect lent are un doubtedly Democratie, and the Demo cratic leaders claim that Indiana lias been placed in the Democratic column. Late dispatches, however, say that it will need the official count in that State as well as in New York. In Michigan the Fusion electoral ticket has a majority, but the full vote of the State has not yet been reported. The following dispatch was received at 7 o'clock last evening from Senator A. P. Gorman, chairman of the execu tive committee of the Democratic Na tional Committee: New Yobk, Nov., 5.—New York is close and both sides claim it. Wc be lieve wc have carried it by from seven to ten thousand. Indiana, New Jer sey and Connecticut are safe, and pro bably Illinois and California. A. P. Gorman. [ From the Newt ami Courier, November 7.] There is no more doubt, no more un- certainty’r-’The iieform Candidate for President* the Exemplar in himself of Executive integrity and Administra tive puritv, is unquestionably elected. Throughout yesterday the Blaine managers continued to assert that Blaine was elected, and even had the impudence, in the afternoon, to issue an Address, in which they declared that the Democracy were defeated, and wore endeavoring to secure by fraud what they cMild not win by honest vot ing. It was Known, however, bv the Democratic leaders that this was only to cloak the scheme of Blaine and his political sneak-thieves to secure cor ruptly a change in the returns of the vote. In New York the belief was general that Jay Gould was exerting himself industriously to protect his own inter- eats via Blaine, and it was freely said that the bulletins of the corporation which he controls were systematically doctored so as to prepare the public mind for a result different from that which the Democratic committees bad announced. However this may be, it it certain that yesterday afternoon, and until late at night, Hie' Western Union buHetins reported that Blaine had a plurality in New Yoak State, The old jibe, “to lie like a bulletin,” is timely and appropriate. The Blaineish bulletins caused some uneasiness in Charleston, despite the positive declarations of the chairman of tho National Democratic Committee that Cleveland had carried New York and was, beyond a doubt, elected. Only those who are unacquainted with the character of Senator Gorman and Mr. Daniel Manning would be likely to question the accuracy of their state ments, but, before midnight, all mi; giving was set at rest by the receipt of the following dispatch by the South Carolina member of the National Democratic Committee: New York, November fi -11 p. M. V. W. Dawson: New York is safe for Cleveland, as well as New Jersey, Connecticut and In&Una. 4- P* Gorman. Boon afterward came the annonne- meut that, at 10 o’clock at night, the New York tiun % Dana’s infamous paper, conceded to Cleveland 1,400 plurality in New York State. The traid concurred in this, and the »eBtkmed were absolutely correct” and GmUmv' statement to the contrary waa tens of Charlcstion, who had lingered around The News anu Courier office until nearly midnight, went quietly home, to sleep, we trust, and ner- chance to dream of those halcyon days of security and advancement which lie before the people of this State and of the wimle South. An Ofllcinl Statement. Albany, N. Y., Nov., 6—5 P. M. Mr. Daniel Manning, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, has sent tho following message to tho New York -jjeenmo Post: Albany, N.‘ Y., November 6.—By official returns reported from every county, Cleveland and Hendricks have carried New York State by a safe and sure majority. No machinations or false claims or pretended doubts of Mr. Blaine’s managers can change this result.

Th«-y Will Not Try to Count Out. Washington, November C—2P. M. In reply to a request for something definite concerning New York, Senator Gorman, chairman of the Exccutiue Committee of the Democratic National Committee, at an early hour this morn ing telegraphed: ‘‘Wc have carried this State by a small, but safe majority, and do not believe that any attempt to count out will be made.” •‘He will Take Hie Neat ” Albany, N.

New York, November 7—Midnight. According to a dispatch received to night, the Democratic majority in In diana is steadily gaining, and wtlT, in all probability, exceed H»,(KX). Michigan is again claimed for Hie Fusion ticket by a small margin. There is no doubt of Florida or any other Southern State. This fact is set- - tied, and the Republicans admit all that the Democrats claim except New York. John Kelly says he believes that Cleveland is elected President, al though it may take the official canvass to prove it. He says, Cledeland’s plurality in New York is about 1,300. Indianapolis, November 7.-Mid night.—On the basis of later official returns Indiana lias given the Demo crats a plurality of 6,500, and the Re publican State Central Committee con cedes this much.

New York, November 7.—The fol lowing address lias been issued bv the National Democratic Executive Com mittee: i, ■ New York, November 7, 1884. To the People of the United States: There can no longer be any question concerning the actual result of the Presidential election. Grover Cleve land and Thomas A. Hendricks have a majority <>f eighteen in the Electoral College. It is not worth while for our adversaries to claim the electoral vote of Hie State of New York. It is abso lutely certain that die returns of the proper officers of election on Hie night of the Itli of November showed a de cisive plurality in the State for the electors supporting Cleveland and Hendricks. If any different or altered returns are now being prepared or promulgated they are corrupt falsifica tions of the records of the State of New York, and the men aiding or abetting the making of such reports arc criE.inals. It is not expected that you will tamely submit to the machin ations ot such men. Let them under stand that you will not. Recognize at noon to-morrow throughout the United States the actual election of Cleveland and Hendricks by firing iiatfonal salutes. Meet to-morrow night throughout the country and ex press your opinion in a manner that cannot be misunderstood. The men ofNew York are resolved not to sub mit to the gross outrage attempted to be perpetrated upon their rights, and will speak for themselves. (Signed) Wm. U.

G, 1884 The Republican National Commit tee rejoices that the returns now re ceived warrant itft^nnouncing the triumphant election of Blaine^ and Logan. The Republicans have car ried every Northern State except New Jersey and Connecticut. Virginia seems also to have given a majority for Hie Republican cause and ticket, and there is a strong probability that West Virginia lias also, while other South ern States arc still in doubt. The Northern States alone, however, give to Blaine and Logan 233 electoral votes, and insure their election. In New York atteihpts to tamper with Hie returns have already been de tected. The actual vote cast in New York City, King’s County and 1,852 other election precincts, gave at tiie utmost only 148 plurality to Grover Cleveland, while 163 precincts not yet heard from gave 2,178 plurality to Gar field. There is, therefore, no ground fjr doubt that the honest vote of the State lias been given to the Republi can candidate for the Presidency is at the head of the election machinery in this State, the Democratic party, which lias notoriously been the party of fraud in elections for years, will not be per mitted to thw&ri the will of the people. The National Republican Committee calls on the chairmen and individual members of all county committees to take the promptest and most atri means to protect the sanctity oi ballot. The Republican candidates have ■ ■ - - m question, and any Mteftlpt to cheat the people of (heir will thus expressed at tbe polls, must be sternly exposed and resisted by every law-respecting citi- cen.

[Special to the Newt and Courier.] New York, November 6.— Tho streets are full of people to-ui^ht, and the greatest excitement prevail*. Re- puhlicansas wollas-Democrats believe that Cleveland is elected, and Hie in dignation over Hie attempt of Steve Elkins and Jay Gould to steal the vote of this State is not confined to those who voted lor Cleveland. If this thing keeps up much longer, an explosion in all likelihood Will occur such as this city has never seen. The feeling against the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Associated Press is very bitter, and in creasing. At this hour crowds are marching through the streets singing in marching time.: “Hang! Hang I Hang! Jay Gould.” The fhets are hourly accumulating, mid sufficient have already been developed to show that the Asssociated Pres* lias been but a mere tool in the hands of Jay Gould to aid him in his nefarious game. On election night when it and the Itepublican National Committee were conceding this State to Cleveland it was, at tlio same time telegraphing all over the country that Blaine would carry New York by a Urge majority. The feeling is that tlio returns have been withheld for Hie purpose of manipulation. Those which havebee»: sent out arc verv inaccurate, and al ways and invariably in favor of Hie Republicans. By this means Jbey kept the true vote of the State from the public until the truth was ascertained through special dispatches. 0 - Up to this hour almost every point in the State has been heard from, and there is no doubt that Cleveland has carried the Shite hr a sure and fair plurality To-night Senator Gorman, chairman of the National Democratic Executive Committee, sent the following dis patch to John Lee Carroll, of Mary land. “The claim of the National Republi can Committee is laughed at by every body. We have carried New York beyond a question.” The Republicans are trying bard to prevent the official announcement of tbe vote of New York, which is for Cleveland. We have the State by a small but sure plurality, j. b. i*. The Gould Conspiracy. New York, November G—5 P. M The following is an extract from the Evening Pott: “Gould is suspected ot being lender of the conspiracy, and the fact that ex-Governor Cornell lias spent much time with him to-day is very significant to many Republicans who have known Cornell and taken Ilia measure. The Western Union and Associated Press are very strongly suspected.” Jay Gould GoosUadar. New York, November 7. — Jay Gould this morning sent the following dispatch to Governor Cleveland: “I heartily congratulate yon on your election. All concede that your ad ministration us Governor has been wise and conservative, and in the larger field as President I feel that you will do still better, and that tho vast business interests of the country will be entirely safe in your hands. Jay Gould.” A Well Known Attorney. Brunswick, Ga., June 26, 1884.— Editors Constitution: I desire to make public, through your columns, my experience with a remedy which is made in your city. In the early pagt of February last, after a three weeks’ visit North in inclement weather, I was attacked with inflammatory rheuma tism of severe type—my first serious illness (with the exception of yellow fever in 1876^ in fourteen years. When taken I was in rohnst health, weighing 165 pounds, but somewhat worn and weary with overwork. I was treated first witli acids, then with alkaline remedies—each furnishing temporary partial relief from pain, which re turned with increased severity at the slightest change in the weather, and each new attack was preceded by a chill and followed by a hot fever. In three weeks my weight was reduced to 230 pounds. I had no appetite nor strength, and was growing weaker each day. I continued changing medi cines, and was finally advised by physi cians, after seven weeks of continned treatment, that my only hope of speedy recovery waa to visit Hie White Sul phur Springs in Florida—a trip which business and other considerations did not permit. In the Savannah Netcs I saw an article from Maior Sidney Herbert, stating that he bad been re lieved of rheumatism by Swift’s Spe cific, and I at once commenced to take it. In three days I began to improve, and in three weeks I was free* from disease and attending to business. My appetite returned and I rapidly re gained the lost Hush. I have waited this long to be sure that my relief was permanent. Should any of your read ers be suffering frolD like mental and physical prostration, and be induced by’my experience to find relief, I should be glad. Yours respectfully, C. P.

[FVom the Detroit Free Prett, October SI.] Ex-Governor Franklin J. Moses, of South Carolina, charged {with stealing 11$ from the Rev. E. L. Rexford, D. D., pastor of the Universalist Church, by obtaining that amount from him by falsely representing himself as the Rev. Dr. Hicks, of Washington, spiritual adviser of Guitcan, the assassin of President Garfield, made an attempt, about 5 o’clock yesterday morning, to hang himself in his cell in the county jail. The prisoner made a rope from two handkerchiefs, which he he placed around his neck and tied one end to his cell door. He then kicked a stool on which he stood from imdor hi* feet, and was struggling when the noise was heard by a prisoner who occupied an adjoining cell. ’ The inmates of this ward are not locked up in their cells at night. This saved the ex-Governor’s life. Tlio prisoner who heard the noise arose and going into the corri dor found Moses banging. His face had turned black, and in a minute or two more he would have been strangu lated. The prisoner used an old pair of scissors which were allowed in tho ward for hair-trimming purposes to cut the would-be suicide down, and laid him on his bed, where lie was re vived througlrThe exercises of other -prisoners, who had been awakened by a cry of alarm. Moses said but little of bis attempt, although he ackuowl edged that he waa determined to die ratherthan go to prison. He realized the iiosition he was in and for some time had been very des|>ondciit. This was the first attempt at suicide in the jail for many years. When Moses was brought into the police court yesterday afternoon for trial, he looked very pale and feeble and displayed some nervousness. He was neatly dressed in black, but had and unshorn face, which he turned a wav from the spectators who gathered to get a glimpse pf him. In front of the prisoner's DOE sat, the Rev. Dr. Rex ford with his wife and daughter, ready to proceed with the case. Moses eyed the reverend gentlemen 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 his attorney, George X. M. Collier, arose and asked that it be continued until the mental condition of his client could be established. He said that since the last adjournment of the case he bar made diligent efforts to get witnesses here in bis behalf, but bad failed. He bad corresponded with a number of persons in Hie Southern States, who were acquaintances of Hie prisoner and received several answers; but on account of the election excitement they could not come here until after the close of the campaign. Among the letters was one from the secretary of the navy, who wrote that the son of Hie prisoner is in the naval depart meut in California. It was certain that he could not come to help his father out. Justice Miner replied that the case had already been continued an unusual length of lime, and lie could not see how the prisoner could be benefited by anotlier adjournment. There is no positive assurance that witnesses in his behalf would be present at a future time. It a continuance was granted it could only be done until November 5, as tbe case will then hare been in court for a month, and under tbe law it must be disposed of in that time—other wise the court would have no jurisdic- tiorn. ~ Ma. Collier said that he was author ized by his client to say that if he docs not furnish any evidence at the time the case is adjourned to he will with draw his pica of not guilty and plead guilty. Tbe attorney agreed that if tbe C'ourt was disinclined to grant an other adjournment it would be useless to proceed to trial, as the facts in tbe case were well understood and a trial would be waived. „ The Court said that he *iad been very indulgent in the matter of con tinuing tbe case, both to the com plainant and the defendant. The busi ness of the court demanded that it be deposed of within the time Tprescribcd by law. Mr. Collier said iuanswerto this that an adjournment of two or three days would be of no benefit to him. Justice Miner: “What do yon intend to show for your client?” Mr. Collier: “I desire to prove by medical testimony that my client is entirely irresponsible for his acts. He has been travelling from place to place engaged in the business lie is charged with here. I don’t know anything about him except what he has person ally told me and what I have seen in tbe papers.” The Court: “I have no judicial knowledge of the case.” Mr. Collier consulted Moses and then announced that he would withdraw his pica of not guilty and enter one of guilty. The attorney asked the Court whether he would defer passing sen tence. Justice Miner said he could not do tliis, and then addressing tho prisoner asked him if he desired to his plea.

I will listen patiently to wbat you sar.” Moses again said that he did not wish to go to trial, and the Court then sentenced him to imprisoumeut in the house of correction for ninety days without Hie alternative of a fine. Mr. Collier asked that the prisoner be allowed to remain in jail until Mon day before being taken to prison, which the Court granted. Moses was then taken back to jail.
