Lg WASHINGTON. D. C.. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 17. 1866. The city election in Memphis; Tenn, was Spirited, but orderly, except for a few mo- ments in the Fifth Ward, where the firemen Altempied to break up the polls by driving & host team fariously in apon the judges und sheriff, on returning trom a fire. Superinten- dent Beaumont, of the Metropolitans, soon re- stored ofder. Retween 1,700 and 1,84) votes were polltd forMayor, Lofland receiving 1,175 and bark S44. The reform ticket supported by the Union Leagne, elected the circuit cour clerk, every city officer but the tax collector. Apa bine outof the sixteen aldermen. Abie fod Coleman, Conservatives, are elected to the Jegisiuture. A freedman was shot in Columbia county. Georgie, Monday night. The outrage origi- nated from a difficulty with a white man, which the freedman reported to General Till- son. who advised him to seek redress from the civil authorities. A party of white men sur- rounded the house and murdered him while atrempting to escape. The citizens are indig- nantatthe outrage. A military force has been sentto arrest the perpetrators. Several imy- hav kere have been arrested in Newton ceunty by the military. The case ot Eben D Jordon, in equity, vs. The Agawam Woclen Mill Company, which was argned before Judges Clifford and Lowell in Botton in May last, was decided Monday in favor ofthe complainant, as owner of ‘the Goulding patent on woolen machinery, by a decree sustaining the patent, and ordering a perpetual injunction sgarnst the use of the ma- + chinery. The Buffalo Commercial has intelligence that the Fenians made an organized attempt to cross the Niagara river at Lewistown, on last Saturday evening to burn the village of ({ueenstown and vlow up Brock’s monument, but the attempt was prevented by information that the Canadians were ready to receive them. The whole thing is doubtless a canard. A despatch from Chicago announces the sudden death of Oaptain John Clark im that city on Sunday. Captain Clark, previous to the war, was connected with the Boston Courier. Subsequently he had a captain's commission as commissary of subsistence, and while in New Orleans commenced the publi- cation ofthe Delta, and afterward established the Norfolk ost. He was about forty years of nge. The Republican Convention of the Sth dis- trict, (New Yerk city,)on Monday nominated Mr. Horace Greely for Congress. His Demo- cratic competitors have not yet been chosen, but Mr. Benjamin Wood may be one of them. In the fifth district a portion of the democratic Ubion party bave nominated Jonn Morrissey for Congress. Hon. James Brooks has been nominated in the eighth district. Kirby, Hugh, Morrow, and the two Kempers were brought before the United States Court at Louisville, Ky.,on a writ of habeas corpus re- quiring Genera! Davis to produce them. They whey were severally indicted for stopping the mail, detaining the mail courier. Dr. Ferris, und detaining the mail boat at Gnent, Ky. The official returns from various counties in indiana will probably bring the majority on the State ticket up to 14.000. It was ahead of the congressional vote in the Sth, Sth, and ith districts. In the 4th district Holman’s (Demo- crat) majority is estimated at 400, and General Grover will probably contest his election. A circular from the State Department ad- vises the Governor of Louisiana that schemes are on foot to induce freedmen to emigrate to foreign countries, especially to Peru, and sug- gests that every legal and morai means be used toward preventing freedmen from being im- posed upon Petitions to the Queen to defer the Confede- ration question until the new Parliament is called so settle the details, particularly the scbaol question, are extensively eirculated in Montres!. A cargo of military stores, chiefly Weetly Richard's muskets and carbines, have arrived there. A cable telegram trom London yesterday fays—“The Loncon money market is steady, Consols 29). The following are the closing prices for American securities: Erie Railroad 49, Iliinote Central 72%. United States Five. twenties. 684. During the forty-eight hours ending at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon there were ¢ignty- seven cases of cholera and twenty-one deaths, in Chicago. Thirty-two cases of cholera were reported, yesterday, und éight deaths. A toll Cabinet meeting was to have been held at Ottawa, C. W., yesterday. to take final ac- tion in regard to the Confederation scheme, and todiscuss the instructions that are to be given to the delegates to England, General N. P. Banks was renominated yes- terday for Congress by the Republicans of the 6th district of Massachusetts. On the first bal- lot he received 143 votes out of 151. The nomi- nation was declared unanimous, Official returns from Nebraska are nearly completed. They sbow a republicam majority of ween 6.0 and 70. The Legislature is two- thirds Republican. The duty on imports at Montreal for the last three months amount to over $1,500,000, being an increase of $300,000 over the same period last year The store of John C. Loring, Tremont Row. Botton, was robbed Monday night of $50) worth of silk goods. Ar$ains IN ALEXANDRIA, VA —From the Gazette of yesterday we clip the following items Child Murder.—The girl arrested and commit- ted to jaul yesterday on the charge of murder- ing ber inant child is named Mary Jane Pho nix, between fourteen and fifteen years of age, who formerly hved at Bishop Joba's. near the Seminary. She is still confined in jail, await- ing a further examination. A coroner's and post mortem examination were to have been held upon the body of the child this morning, but the girl's brother, Richard Phiwrnix, who buried it in Penny Hili burying ground, as- serts that he was unable to find it this morn- ing. as it had been removed from the place in which it was deposited by him. The Bridges over the Potomac.—The Bridge, though itsustained some injury by the Jate freshet, still allows the passage of ve- hicles,and forthe last two or three days has been osed in the transportation of the through passengers, freight and mails via the Orange and Alexandria railroad. ‘Lhe railroad bridge and track will, it is thoughr, be sufficiently re. paired by this evening to allow the passage of the regular trains. Negro School Facilities —O. A. Stevens, the manager of the Washington, Georgetown and Alexandria railroad, will sell tickets of trans- portation between Washington and this city at the rate of twenty-five for $1 50, for the benefit of the young ‘Toes in this eity who wish to attend the Boston School or the Maryland Nor- mal School in Washington, Tne ELECrIONS—Conservative Gains —The election returns are stillincomplete. The rad- ical majority in Pennsylvania, as we predict- ed, is materially whittied down ss the official returns come in, and the probabutty now is that it willnot much, if any, exceed 12,000. The conservatives, therefore, have gained something near 8,000 upon the majority against them in the last, Presidential eleotion—that gain being more than equal to the majority against McClellan in New York in 1564. In Obie the oqneervatlys erin has been still more decisivé. Lincoln’s ity was 59.586, but at the recent electi m the vote was ap- parently as heavy as in Isé4, the radicals have not obtained more than 40,000 majority. In- diana S@somewhat similar result Lin- coln’s majority in that State, an) isdly was 20.169, and now tbat majority bas duced ‘below 15,000. The conservatives gain a Member of Congress in Indianavas well fs one im Obio. We Lave not yet received saf- ficient returus fom Lowa to form a near esti. mate of the result; but there is ne doubt, judg- ing {rca our ddviersy that the radicals have aiso Jost in that State. The majority for bine coln im 1S64, in Towa, was 40.533, and the rad- ical majority now is notelikély loreack 35,000. Ts tes, therefore, which held e¢lec- hand fig webu, the conservatives have made_ Substantial gains ypop the vote at the last Presigenual election.—N, ¥.

The patient having been placed tn position, andthe operator about to begin, but as yet not having even touched his patient, the latter who had exhibited enure calmness and serenity during the preparations, was observed to become pale and faint.and in the ceurse of ten minutas. in spite of allthat was done to reyive him, be died.
