Howard said there was pointment in Washington on the part of the President and Secretary of War that Smith had not been dis- missed when he was court: martialied. Smith was tried for conduct umbecoming an officer and gentleman, found guilty and sentenced to be dis- missed the service of the United States; bat the President in general court-martial order No. 3, dated une 13, 1811, says: “The proceedings, findin; nd sentence are approved; but in view of ‘all the circumstances surrounding this case, and believing that the ends of public jus- tice will be better subserved. and the policy of the government—of which the presence of this cadet in the Military Academy isa signal illus- tration—be better maintained by a commutation of the sentence than by its — enforcement, the President 1s pleased to mitigate it by sub- Frees | for dismissal from the service of the United States, reduction in bis academic stand- ing one year. Cadet Smith will join the succeed. ing fourth cfass at the commencement of the next academic year.” The North Carolina Election.

The vote polled Was very jarge, both parties having made a vigorous can- vars.’ Abotisburg, Bladen county, gives Mer- Timon, democratic candidate for governor, a gain of 40 over the vote of 1870. The conserva- live majority then was 4,000. In Weldon, Mer- Timon has a gain of 100 over 1870, and a gain of 34 in Northwest township, Brunswick county. ‘The second ward of Wilmington gives Merri- mon 296 and Caldwell 22i—a conservative gain of 14. Warsaw, Duplin county, gives Merri- mon 184, Caldweil 143; a conservative gain. In Raleigh, Merrimon gains 200, In Liberty there is @ conservative gain of 36, Rocky Mount 31, Enfield 33, two ucts in Edgecomb 125. Re- turns from Columbus indicate a considerable conservative gain.

LATER. BETTER NEWS. Claimed for the Republicaus by 10,000 Still later the Secretary of the Interior re. ceived the following dispatch : Raueies, N. C., August 2. Hon. C. Delano, Secretary of Interior:— Democrats figure up large mythical gains in east, but admit losses in west. What figures are inindicat2 that we have carried the state by at least ten thousand, and have elected Cobb, Thomas, McKay, Smith, and Settle to Congress. P. W. Pernr, Epwarp Crarser. (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) New York, Aug. 2.The World's Raleigh special puts Merrimon’'s majority at 5,000. The Herald editorially says it is unsafe to hazard a prediction as to the result from the meagre returns at hand, and that, atter all, it is possible the negro counties may give the state to the republicans. The Tribune ecitorially thinks the returns do not warrant any positive statement as to the result. The gains in the cities may prove de- ceptive, being caused by the return ef negroes to their country places of registry. The Times’ specials claim that the state has gone republican. The dispatches received in this city indicate a very quiet election everywhere. The returns were awaited with anxiety here. At the head- quarters of the different political parties crowds remained until a late hour. Numerous ¢ patches were received and read from both side: each claiming the state. Witmincton, Aug. 2.—Rockingham and Carteret counties give conservative gains. There is a republican gain in Caswell. Returns indi- cate the defeat of Settle for Congress. Tie Probabilities are that the conservatives hare carried six out of eight Congressional districts. At Kinston, in Lenoir county, Merriman gain= 62 votes. There seems to be no reasonable doubt of Merrimon’s election by a decisive majority. New York, August 2:—The dispatches re ceived at the liberal ——— and democr: headquarters here to-day confirm tne news of democratic gains in North Carolina, and esti- mate Merrimon’s majority at 10,000. ‘There is a gain of 300 m Rockingham county, securing the a Leach over Settle in the fittn di_- ict. RALziGH, N. C., August 2._Returns came in slowly, though it is conceded that Merrimon. democratic candidate tor Governor, is elected by abont 8,000 majority. The contest in the 4"h Congressional district is very close, with eqnal chances of success for the opposing candidate”. Leach, Ashe, Vance, Waddell, and Robbins, the democratic congressional candidates are elected. The legislature will have forty demo- cratic majority on joint bal Sate or Josie MANS¥IELD’s MANSION IN New YorkK.—Josephine Manstield’s house, No. 359 west 23d_street, was sold on Wednesday to Samuel J. Terry, tor £35,000. After euteriog through unusually massive and heavily carve. black walnut doors, you enter the drawing- room, which is furnished with Oriental splendor. Turkey carpets covered the floor, and the rich- est satin damask coifches and easy chairs we distributed in costly abundance around tt rooms. The finest lace curtains fell in gracefui foldstrom beavy moulded cornices. The ceil- ings were frescoed in rather loud and fantastic shapes, while on the walls were four pane! paintings of nude female figures, represe: ancient god: , but certainly quite humai appearance. Turkish iounges of luxuriant pat terns yielded gently to’ the slightest pressure, inviting to voluptuous langour and repose Mirrors and vases of rich design adorned the mantels. The rooms above corresponded | elegance with those of the first floor. Ti apartments were furnishea in suites and with magnificent chamber sets. The bed 2 Was trimmed with rufiles, lace, and flutings; dainty —- of the finest Marseilles and the most elaborate patterns covered the beds, while white curtains lined with pink threw the faintest tint of the rose over the room. The furniture is chosen with exquisite taste, whilo the painting- and statuettes bear unmistakable evidence or an utter disregard of conventional! usages propricties in their selection. Josic’s photo- graphs in bewitching styles and various striking attitudes were lavi-hly displayed, while a photo eraph of Stokes, life-size, adorned the wall of Josie’s own room. The house is of brown stone, twenty-five by sixty feet, with a lot 100 teet deep, THE ALLEGED CHocTaw SwinxpLe.—Mr. dobn H. B. Latrobe, of Baltimore, wha was re cently charged with fraud in connection with the claims of the Choctaw and Chickaw Indians, has a letter in to-day’s Baltimore American, in which he says that but $250,090 was ever paid to the Choctaws by the government for thei: lands. He further tays he waslemployed in 1805 by the Choctaw and Chickasaw Commissioners to negotiate a treaty with the Secretary of the Interior, for which service he was paid by the Indian Gommissiover, as were other attorneys e with him. ‘The allegation that he re- ceived a percentage upon the $250,000, or an part thereof, he says, ferutterly false.” .

Mitchell Hart, the millionaire pawnbroker of Chatham street, died yesterday. Mitchell and his brother Henry have made themasel ves noto- rious by their eccentric style of living. After they had retired from business life, the two bachelors continucd to reside in the well-known old brick heuse in Chatham street known as “The Misers’ Nest.” The father of these two men carried on the business of a pawnbroker when New York was in its infancy. and man- aged to amess a very large fortune, which he left to his two sons, who continued to carry on their father’s business for many years, and with a portion of their inheritance speculated in real estate. Everything they touched seemed t> teen to geld. “When the Third Avenue railway was first started people imagined it was going to be a losing affair, and the scheme found but little public favor.’ The two Harts, however, thinking they could see their way clear to add to their already immense fortunes, took no less than 22,000 shares out of the 40,000 shares agreed upon, purchasing the shares at $15 and #25 each. It is sufficient to say that the value of these shares i immense at the present time. Both Mitchell and his brother Henry own con- siderable real estate property in various parts of the city, some of it being very valuable. Tue only near relative the brother? have is a niece, who resides in @ pretty mansion in west 19th street, which was purchased for her by the uncles some time since. She covld not per- suade them to live with her in this house, and give up thelr Chathar street, wretched and reary looking habitation, as it was said they were too fond of fixing 8 continual eye upon the much valned treasures stored there. It is im- possible to estimate the value of the joint estate of these two men, but it is stated by those who claim to know, that it is not short of $6,000,000. Mitchell Hart had been ailing for some mont and it was only within the past few days that was taken to his house in west Lith street. could not be persuaded to leave ° Chatham street for an hour together. ~ It is serted that the old miser never for the past thir y yeers crossed over to Brooklyn, and that he had | bever seen Staten Island or Hoboken.—J. ¥.
