On all the strects thero' were anfmated con- versations, and little groups at strect-corners were buffeted to and fro by the passing mnulti- tudes, who were themselves so taken up with the one great tople of the day as to be oblivivus t the comfort of thelr fellow-creatures. 0N 'CUANGE, There wasconslderableexcitement on'Change In the early part of the doy. Business was al- most enttrely neglected, and the attontion of the Lulls and bears was devoted to things pollt- fcal. A number of bets were made ju the Til- duen [nterest at big odds.

The mun baving the most at stake wus Mr. Eichoff, who, if Tilden proved victorlous, stood to win amounts aggregating $50,000. Mr, Eleholl scouped fn $5,000 o the October election In Indiana. THE POOL 00MS were almost deserted all day. Anattemnt was mude to do_ a little buginess st Fox'sin the afternoon, but it cuticely fatlel.

The election of Kern to the ofllee of Sherlll gives Agnew and his men suprems eatisfaction, for the reason that, us has atready been indl- cated In these columns, his victory is theirs, Jullor Doyle yesterday authorized the reporters to atate that he would be retafued us Jefler, and that Luke Agmew would remuin as jatl clerk, Dosle says, Lowever, that he will accept the ‘mslllun only on the coudition thut he will not be fnterfered with in the discharge of bls dutics by his superfors in offtee.

IN THE EVENING. NEFUBLIOANS WERE HOPEFUL. There wus quite a hopeful feeling around the Graud Pacifie last night. The large crowd that asseinbled there after supper were not prepared 1o surrender the nation's affairs to the Demo- cratle mob, and, us the revised returns favored the Republican candldates, cousiderabls en- thusfasm prevailed, James .

Towards 11 o'clock the crowds were nlmost convinced of Republican vletory and many lett for home. The politiclaus were In bixli glee. Durlug the carly part of the duy ther spirits dropped somewhat, st the change that good news wrought In them was remarkable.

Egyptians Overwholmed by Numbers--- A Terrible' Slaughter, Correrpondence London Times. Some friends of truth have furnished mo with evidenco as to the origin of the Egyptian expe- dition, and oonly yesterday I met one of tho traveling companlons of M. de Sarseck, the French Consul at Massowah, who eutered Abyasinia on Sept. 28, 1575, and left {t onthe Gth of December following, thus befog fo tho best possible position for witnessing that strange and fatal asdveature styled the first Egyptian exoedition into Abysslnla. The facts, then, I am about to relote aro taken from notes written from day to day by an attentive but disinterested spectator who hias authorized me to publish them, but certalnly, while writing them, had no idea that his notes would ever attain publicty, . . . On the 13th of October M. de Harseck arrived at Humars, o the Province of Amacine, where he wus very cordistly received by the Dedjaz Gabron. He then crossed tha Provinces of Beral and Chird, and arrived in thenelghborhood of Adowa. On the 25th of October, 0s he was unaware of the rumors spread in Exypt, bie was not at all astonished to find all theae provinces cntirely without soldiers, and the Governors with ovly thelr nsual wllitary cscort. Ashe approached Adowa, o Fltoararia, or General of !.Ku Vanguard, came to tell hlm that King Join desired hiis presence, but at this memont M. de Barseck obscrved that he was in the midst of a kind of popular immigration, and he lcarned that the Egyptians were at Ghindaj that they were golng up to Amacloe, and that King John, having ordered overybody to fall back, the inhabitantsof the Amacine, of Seral, and Chirl,~inen, wotnen, and_chlldren—driving be- fore thein thelr cattle and carrying the reinains of thelr property, weve falllug back on Adowa, On Oct. 27 M. du Baracek cutered Adown, and was conducted hefore the Kipg. e waa Intro- duced {uto the Royal Palaee snd brought Into the prescace of ‘King John, a insu of sbout 30 years of age, of middle helght, sllm, his hair of deep black, worn after the Abyesinfan fuahion, s "{1“ cnergetic, his nose a'littic curved, hls mouth stnall, his complexion_bronzed brown 8 an old Florentine statue. Tle f8 extremely ngile, successful In all games, brave totenerity, as npassive 88 o Hindu, aud the best rider in his country, When M. de Sarscck cutered, King Jolin was seated in the Ethloplun fashion, squatted on 8 red and gold dals asconded by niuc steps, in a hall forty metres long. Ile was enveloped In a larre elouk of cloth-of-gold, and wore on his head the triple crown of Etblopla; resembling the Crowa of Solo- mon, such os ft fs paluted on the walls of the churches ‘and the Imperial Palace of Gondar. Around hiin were the Raz or feudatory Princes, fu rich white and pur- ple garments, each wearing alight crown of old on his head. " On both sides of “the hall, accord- Ing to rank, were the great vassals of his Crown,and, to comnplete thls thoroughly Orlent- al plcture, on one of the lll.'||1)£ wus reclining Apos, oneof the four lions which, according to otiguette, precede the King in combats, and to which King John bas given the name of one of his brothers killed in flll)llln%. *M. de Sarseclc was struck by the thorough ftnpassivencss of this monarch, who, in the midst of this state gudience, eeained o have forgotten that an hin- placable cnemy was treadiug the goil of his country. _Ou the 30th of October it was known that the Eg\THMIH had fnvaded the Amuciue Beral, and a letter from the commander of the hostilo_expedition wns hauded to the Kiog. Inthis letter the Khedive was described as baving always been a friend to King Juhn, bat as ublized to proteet his ter- ritory meafnst the want of discipllue among_the Abyssinjan Princes, whose Incur- slons King Juln could not prevent, His army had uot conie t take possession of Abya- eini, but had entered the country to establish nternal peace awd to correct the bad sdminlse tration. In fuct. one would almost say Prince Milan copied the declaratlon of war from thi: letter, Yurning to M. de 8arseck, * You see, he sald, I lave only mycuard around me; my country la fuvaded Wwitliout cause or provocu- tlon, aind L should lise to know what the King of Egypt would say if I should say to hibn that ha was the executionerand Elllmlurcr of the fel- 1ah'" On the 24 of November the King was in- formed that his country was detinitive.y invad- e, that the Egyptian army had arrived at Ad- dihoala, the Just villuge which precedes the Val- ley of Gondet, and that the vauguard bad peue- trated {nto that valley, Kiug Johin then mount- cd his horse to proceed to - camp whithier he had convoked the wurrlors ot - Abyssinta. The Khedive had thought #dy the Negus wus eolng to call on the Princes, his vassals, to Au[llply the contingent due, but as these Princes hal been secretly hired by the Kliedive to revolt, Jobn saw they would refuse 10 vbuy, and that he would be owerless, e therefure prenchied the Holy War. The Abouva, the religious chlef of Abyesinia, had ordered a three days' fast, to whlch the King himself submitted, and bad conmanded all the warriors of.the country, under penulty of excommunication, to be pres- entduring 1t, and, at its cxplmduu, at tho given wlace, Johu mounted bis horse at the gate of ils palace, north of Adows, at tho foot of Mount Challodu. Just 0s ho Was about to give the signal of departure, and when all the inhab- itanta of Adowa and the luvaded provinces wore asseimbled, there was a forimidable esrthquake, Men and beasts were thrown down, the roofs of geveral houses were displaced, and from the suwmmnit of the Challoda blocks of stone and torrents of dust were precipitated to the feet of the Kinir, Every one wns alarmed, A moment of beajtatlon ou'the part of the King, and the terror would have spread over oll Abysalnia, and Ieft it to the merey of the Invaders, But Jotn, Jumplng from his horse, flung himself on the ground, and cried e¢nthusiast] m“f" *1 thank God for the slzns of protection, whith show me that the duy bus at length come when the au- clent Tand of Ethlopia shall Inzulf her fuvaders.! A shout of joy welcomed these words, aud the King remounted his borse und left Adowa amld the warm snd prolonged applause of the multi- tude. On the 8th of November M, de Sarseck proceeded to the Kingat the camp, where he [uul tled his warriors ther, ond his aston- fshment may bu huogined at seeing the Negus, who, unthe 2 of the mouth, lud only a Tew hundreds of cavalry, fu commuuud of s uriny of TU,000 men. 1 Abysslnin had responded to Lis call. A notion cssentially feadal, divided into s warlike aristocracy and un inferior class, the nobles and the Princes ure prompt to re- spond 1o acall to arms, and six days bad suf- Heud to colleet this formidable armiy. ‘The Negus, from whom M. de Sarseck re- Tn:uud a letter {n reply to that of the Pres ot of the Freuch lleyubllc, aund who bad ves bally consented to all requirad of him, did bis utmost to retain the French Consul about him. He would huve liked to be able to aflirin that ho rejofed fu the protection of France, showing thie ofifelal agent near bim in the midst of his warrlors. DBut M. Do Sarseck declined, re- turned to Adowy, and caiue back slier thres ditlerent attempts without haviug been sble to obtaln the letter. At Jength, on the 17Lh, just us he was making up his wind to return, for the King still remarved, he recelved the foilow- {ng curlous letter, € which wmy fuforinant ob- taiped amd preserved a copy, a translation of which be was kind cuough o’ commyunleate to mes From John, b{ the Graco of God Kingof the Kings of Etblopla and of all {ta dependepcles, to the Consul of Franee, M. de Sarveck: Low are your My soldiera and myself, ibauks fo leaven and the intercession of iho Saints and tho God of Armles, 8ro safe und, Uood news! 1have 9 of God 1 have buate Kyptians who nvade an conguerod. by cuemles, Of all th country 1ot une has suevived.

The King ha 1 mitted them to take back vour&cen I {mlnn prisoners, but had learnod Count Zichy's story, and refused to give him p, sromlntng totreat bim well, bul wanting to etain him as o hostage. When, on the fithof Decembor, M. de Barseck gou back to Arato, the Count was no louger to bs found, aud it ling sinee been ascertained that he was murderod by those who were charged to convey hbim tc Adowa, they having recognized him oa oné of tho leadars of the Egyotian army. Let mo here mention that the ve;{ day whon M. do Barscch took leave of the King tho latter sct ont for Axum, the hul{r:ll!v of Abysslnia, togive thanks to the Almighty for the yictory ha had won, and that lis arny dispersed till Tarther notlee. M, do Barscck could not understand how the 120 men composing the vanguard, and lnnlndlna Arendroop, Zichv, and so many others, coul have becn exterminated fn loss than twenty minutes. This was explained ,on the spof. John, with bls whole army, hsd come and en- camped In the at plain of Mareb, a8 1f ha wished to offer battla to the vanguard posted at Kherad Iska. In the night, while his eamp-flres, mre!ul? ker& up, led to the belief that hie wan posted cight miles from the enemy, 12,000 horso crosaed tho Maroh and placed themselves on the flank of the Efimflnn van at Icss than o mile distance.

Arakel Hey, who had remaln- ed in the Gundet Valley awalting the arder to advance, recelved tidings of ~ the massacre, 110 took the command of tho army, and tried to strengthen his position during the three hours which elapsed before his own death. The Abyssiulans accoms plished the distance in two hoursand a half, and attacked his fmprovised intrenchments. They were_twenty to one.
