THE OFFICIAL RETURNS. w= S Sse ese of Delegates, The general election in the Distriet of Colum- bia yesterday for members of the House of Del- *gates—one from each of the twenty-two legis- lative districts—was a very quiet one. There was no contest in some of the districts, and in others but little interest was taken, hence the vote cast was very light, although the weather was delightful, affording every opportunity for voters to go to the polls if they had been so in- clined. The fact is that the advantages of the improvements so far finished are so great that they compel recognition, and consequently the opponents of the District government and its work of beautifying the city have been forced to give up the contest at the polls against the Progressive spirit of the age and its representa- tives, except in one or two of the old fogy dis- tricts, where the advocates of mud and cobble stone streets, surface drainage through filthy gutters, and hogs for scavengers still hold their ground; but even they are yielding. As was predicted from the returns in yesterday's Star twenty republicans and but two democrats were elected, and of these two, one isan avowed advocate of the system of improvements which is making the national capital the most beauti- ful city in the country.

S.L.A. _ The Night Soil Question, KING GxonGE Co., Va., Sept. 20, 1 Baitur Star-—1 see by your last Weekly that Uhe egintroversy so long waged in the Board of N over the night soil question has at last been decided, and that now something ts to be done to abate one of the greatest remaining nultanes y. In the spring preceding yor Bowen, parties who had been experimenting in fertilizers, and had become convinced that no fertilizer trom night soil could be made to pay, had in the meantime become fully acquainted with the details of the scavenger business, and, satisfied that if it could be changed into a daylight business a great profit could be realized on one-third the Scavengers’ prices, experiments were tried both with boxes and tubs, ‘‘hermetically” sealed by running two strands of spun yarn around on the tap edge and screwing the lid down firmly with common square-headed wood screws. ‘Thess were driven about the city, in thecrowded mar- ket, and to the bazaar in ‘front of the central guard-honse, and up and down the avenue, and ho one ever the wiser or in the least conscious of the presence of a huge stink. These experiments were not mate under the banner of the Great National Night Soil Transportation Company,” but of course very quietly and still with thor- oughness to test to their own satisfaction if the night soil of the city could be carried by day- light through the streets without giving an Just ground of offense. They were convinced it could, and devised plans for tubs and covers and fastenings, c., ascertained prises and the probable cost of preparation, but the election opened their eyes to a new obstacle and an in- surmountable one. As developed on the island, the scavenger power appeared to be the great political lever, moving the whole city. The people talked of the ballot box, but the real power lay in the privy box. It was seen to be a great nuisance, not tolerated only, but well for- tified and defiant and a necessity in the political warfare. Of course tubs and boxes were laid aside, but the parties were convinced that the transportation by daylight was both cheap ant safe and that the people of Washington in en- during the great nuisance of its night manipu- ation, showed too great a spirit of submission t> be commendable.

Only the necks of Captain Jack and Black Jim were found to be broken. I saw strands of the rope with which Jack was banged, and the locks of his hair ehorn off as perquisites by the executioners, sold as high as five dollars apiece. Some, prob: relatives of the victims, appeared stricken with grief, and filled the air with their mourn. ful wailing. The majority manifested indiffer- ence. I have just beem informed by General Wheaton that John Schomchin has made an ear- nest and pathetic appeal to him for the custody of the children of Schonchin, his brother, who was executed this morning, whom he desires to educate in love and respect for the whites. The general informed him that, owing to his loyalty to the whites and his fidelity to ty stipula- tions, he would use his strongest efforts to get the request granted by the President.

Coionel Higginson, in open- ing the meeting, said that having listened to the proceedings of the Evangelical Alliance he was reminded of the saying about meetings in which women took part, that ‘‘there were five basketsful of talk and the women had four of them.” He thought that the men had had even more than this. Speeches were also made by Miss Eastman, Mrs. Blackwell, Mr. Blackwell, and Mrs. Tracy Cutler. At the beginning of her speech Mrs. Blackwell was interrupted b: the entrance of a number of women paras makers thrown out of work by their employers, who having met to form plans for their protec: tion had adjourned to hear consolatory words from the members of the convention.

News, writing from Walterboro’, October 9, says: Last Mo: day, the 6th, an atrocious murder was comm: ted near Smoke’s Cross Koads, in upper Colle- ton. The victim was a mulatto girl about twe: ty years of age, named Annie Black. The sus- pected murderer i pardoned colored peniten- jary convict, named Daniel Desausare, who was convicted for rape upon a child March 25th, 1869, and sentenced to ten years’ hard la- bor in the state prison. But on the petition or fiat of potential county officials he was par- «oned on the 31st of October, 187 made the first public exhibition of his acquired yir- tues by cutting the throat of Annie Black. It is only gathered from the girl's declarations to her parents, that Desausure had committed an outrage upon her a few days ago, and she told him she intended on Monday to go to trial Justice Conniff and have him ai . He offered, she said, twenty-five dollars if she would not £3 butyon her refusal, told her he he would kill her if she did. On Monday she started but was found on the road with her head nearly severed from her body, a slice cut from her throat, and several gashes over the back of her neck. Daniel Desausure was at once searched for and found absent. When found he gave confused and contradicto: statements of bis whereabouts. He had ‘blood on his shirt sl-eves, which had been partly cut off. The blood, he said, came from ovis tail that he had cut, and he cut off his sleeves because his wife had made them too long. He is now in jail awaiting a trial at the general sessions to commence on the 20th inst., when you will be informed of the result of a judicial investigation of this diabolical crime. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE IN PaRts.—The restaurant Brebant on the Boulevard, says Ga- lignani of Sept. 29, has just been the scene of a tragic event. Six young men and three young women arrived there on Friday evening and or- dered dinner. The entertainer was D. Charles Missotin, twenty years of age, employed in the Banque Generale, Kue de Grammont, who was to leave Paris the next day for atonr in Italy. Toward the end of the repast, which was ex- tremely gay, the host leftthe room, and ag he continued absent for some ti me of the ests went to seek him. Having inquired ‘om & waiter as his whereabouts, the man agers to an adjoining room, and said: ‘‘He is m there, and I think he must be playing you some trick.” The friend immediatel, advanced to the door, but had scarcely placed his hand on the handle of the lock when two detonations were heard. When an entrance was effected, Missotin was found stretched on the sofa, while on the table by his side lay a five-barreled revolver, three barrels of which were loaded. He was still alive, and a medical man om been sent for, dressed the wounds and order: his removal fo a hospital. He was placed in a carriage and conveyed to the 1 isere, but died shortly after his arrival. No reason 1s as. signed for this strange act of self-destruction, the deceased being of an excellent family and well-off in the world. ARREST OF Mrs. Trurston.—Mrs. Jane P. Thurston, of Maine, whose eccentricities have made her widely known, has been arrested in Portland, and will probably be sent to the state insane asylum. For years she has entertained the idea that not only the state of Maine be- longed to her, but that she wa: also the pro- Lec of the United States and Great — a8, the safety of her greenbacks, heid in trust by the banks. She thought it time to begin to draw some of them tor her own private use. Consequently @ few days ago she drew her cheek for 21,000, which she presented, attached to one of her printed manifestoes, to the Casco Bank. Of course she was told there was no money belonging to her on = there. She, however, asserted her ownership to the entire bank, and, assuming a tragic air, ordered the president, cashier, and clerks to ‘yamose the ranche.’ She was quieted down and took her departure. Yesterday she stepped into the First National Bank and attempted to repeat the same episode. The cashier took a different view of the matter, and, on finding she was de- termined to continue her annoyance, turned her over to the pelice, and she was taken to the station. An application has been made by thp moe officers to have her sent to the insane asylum, and an order will probably be granted by the authorities to convey her to Augusta.”” An Unraiturut Wirr Brows wen Heap Orr.—At Kansas, Mo., on the sth, in “‘MeGee's Addition,” Mrs. Catharine Selman was found inher house, with her head blown to pieces. Upon the walls and ceiling of the room were pieces of flesh and clots of blood spattered upon the whitewash, showing that the force of the explosion must have been very powerful indeed. Mrs. Selman has been upon very intimate terms with a man named Rudolf Ensel,a clerk in the employ of Mr. Lorie, a clothing merchant on Grand avenue. Last week Mr. Lorie di nsed with Ensel’s serviceson account of his intimacy with Mrs. Selman. This intimacy between these two people has been the cause of much domestic trouble between Mr. and Mrs. Selman, and bas finally culminated in a_ sickenin, 1y._ On the coroner’s inquest the husband of the woman testified : About one week ago I offered to Mr. Ensel to turn over to him my wife and all her effects for the sum of #100; the next day after this offer was made, Ensel called me over the street, and, after treating me, said he could not give me $100, but proposed to let mat- ters go on as they were then. After this con- versation with Ensel I told my wife about it; she replied that if Ensel gave her up she woul either shoot herself or elope with him. The verdict was one of snicid Srieits In ALBany JAIL.—Joseph Walz, who is now confined in the jail at Albany for the alleged murder last he eg of Hulcher, the scissors grinder, of that city, has been at vari- ous times under the influence of “spelis,” during which the spirits control his actions. A few nights ago he caused great confusion in the jail by setting fire to straw, paper, &c.. in his cell, and at the same time making fearful noises, ejaculating “Murder!” and other soul- harrowing utterances. The fire was extin- ished and Walz was handcuffed; but bein left alone he was enabled (probably by the uid of the spirits) to break his handenufts, Shackles were then put on bis feet, and he was chained to the floor. He had again nearly succeeded tn releasing him from these im) keeper was com| pediments, and the ied to “buck” him, which him to submission.

Evidently when the brown hair went out, two or three years ago, it said to its discarders, “Keep my memory green,” and the prayer, whether intentionally or not, has been heeded, for as the blonde wath wears off, it leaves a most decided greenish tinge.
