Postal ITEMS.—The number of Centen- nial envelopes issued by the Post Office de- partment up to date was about 8,500,000. The issuing of these envelopes will be dis- continued as soon as the Centennial exhi. bition closes. The amount of postage col- lected on second.class matter (newspapers and periodicals) at Chicago during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1876, was $74,213 73. POOLS last night were opened on the elec tion contest, but none were sold on the gen- eralelection. One pool was sold $35 to #25 that Tilden would carry Indiana. It will be well not to construe the run of the bet- ling at any time as an Indication of the re- sult of an election, inasmuch as *‘profes- ionals” have many ways not understood by the uninitiated, of “getting even” in the bettiog business. To day a republican took @ bet at the saloon of Shookmaker & Hert zog of $500 even that Hayes wou'd beelected over Tilden. TSE CHILDLESS PRESIDENTS.— Dear Star: On the editorial page of THE STAR of to- day you give a curions though somewhat unfair statement relative to the fact that every third President has been without. chil- dren, and argue therefrom that Mr. Tilden will, under the ‘‘remarkable dispensation of events,” be the next President. Now, as the New York Sun is authority for the state- ment that Tilden will be married imme- diately after his election, would it not be in order to ‘give the old man & chance” before locating among the antiquated roosters pamed baving no interest whatever in census returns? Yours, INQUIRER. October 30, 1 THE SITUATION IN NORTH CAROLINA.— A private letter from a colored man in New- bern, North Carolina, to @ friend in this city states that the new state constitution to be ‘voted on by the peeple of that state in the coming Presidential election has @ clause which provides that colored orphans shall be bound out to white guardians until they arrive at the age of twenty-one years. Tnis will help Hayes and Wheeler’s chances in that state, he says, as “it smacks of anew system of slavery for the blacks. A large number of republican organizations known as ‘Invincible Clubs” haye been organized throughout the state by colored persons sent from the head organization in this city. Among these workers are Prof. R. T. Gree! er, D. A. Biraker, J.T. Settle, J. W. Harriss and J. H. Butler. AN AMERICAN VESSEL WRECKED.—The United States Vice Consul at St. Thomas, writing to the Department of State relative to the recent severe hurricane which passed over the Island of St. Thomas, says: ‘The bark Iailla Berry. of New York, Captain James Turn arrivcd at this port witb coals from Cardiif during the hurricane. She broke from the wharf and wenton the rocks, just outside the harbor, and is a tota' loss. jothing at all has as yet been recovered from the wreck. The Captain, James Tar- ner, and searen J. Johnson, W. Wilson and W. Risbey were drowned, but the bodie: have been recovered and buried. Tue stew ar ,J McArthur, wasdrowned and body not found. The captain’s wife was also drowned &od body not recovered. The following nemed seamen were rescued alive: H. Hen son, body recovered, now in bospital; First Mate C. Lind, Second Mate J. ristopher- son, W. Stevenson and R. Williams. I nave charge of these men. THE QuID NUNCs ON GEN. SHERIDAN’S VisitT.—The arrival of General Sheridan in Washington yesterday, and the conference between the President, General Sherman and the Lieutenant General, covering two bours, supplemented with a two hours’ con- ference between Sherman and Sheridan, rather perplexed the quid nuncs last nignt, and several speculations were indulged in as to the purport of what took place. It is known that Gen. Sheridan was doing the Centennial and was suwmoaed here upon the telegraphic order of Secretary Cameron; Also, that he left via the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at midnight last night for Chicago. It is understood that Gen. Sheridan stated to those who inquired as to the object of his Visit that it bad ted ey significance, ‘and was solely with reference to @ new [n- dian campaign. Notwithstanding this state- ment, the democrats were eee to accept it as theonly object of the visit. They ited the fact that ten thousand war- rants bad been issued in Louisiana for that umber of arrests, with the sudden visit of Sheridan, and drew the conclusion that the arrests were to be made the day before the election, and that Sheridan was to proceed to Louisiana and see that the deputy United States marshals were protected in making them. Others, of a more by pay ps mood, construed the conference to be for the reparation of a plan to place the militar: Torees in North Carolina and ee s laced in the state upon the request of a puty marsbal without the usual procia- mation of the governor. Family men of easy, unsuspicious nature say Sheridan bly came over just to get an opinion From President Grant as to whether opodel- doe or soothing syrup would hurt his baby, which is threatened with measies. It is certain, whatever may have been the necessity for calling Gen. Sheridan here at this time, that although bis coming and going was quiet enough, his presence nas made & great noise. The Public Debt. The recapitulation of the statement of tre public debt of the United States for the month of October, 1876, just issued, is as follows: Debt bearrne mnterest 1m comm, Debt bearing interest on lawsul mon Navy pension fand at 3 per cent...

The republican county convention in New York city determined last night to nomi- nate @ straight republican ticket, with Gov ernor John A. Dix for mayor; for sheriff, Wm. H. Gedney.

Dis- trict Attorney Bliss called upon Mr. Jarvis, clerk of common pleas in New York, yester- day, and say'pg he had undoubted proof of bumerous frau roe ee cae ee tion pers, asked permission ve records” r the whole year examined.

The Political Riot im Portsmouth, Va. ALEXANDRIA, VA., Nov. 1. Kiitor Star: The affair of which I tele graphed you yesterday from Richmond was one of thé most infamous outrages I ever say. In Oxford Hall, Portsmouth, Va., the republicang had a meeting Monday night. Col. M.I>. Ball, of Alexandria, and Hon. Joseph Segar, candidate for Congress, spoke, and were both interrupted and called d—d Mars, by men in open view of the whole house, though their speeches were moderate and conciliatory. A brick wi through @ window, crashin; on the stage. Mr. . Desendorf was called for and tried to speak, but the “reformers” then broke up the meeting with continued yells and violent demonstrations. As the speakers reached the street Mr. Desendorf, being in advance, was seized, terribly beat- en, and his forehead scorched by & pistol re fired, shot. Numbers of other shota we! aud yells and cries uttered, showing ® murder- ous purpose by the mob. In the confusion Messrs, Seger and Ball were gotten away by fiends, assisted by one decent democrat who heard the threats to kill Mr. Segar, and being bis personal friend, waited to heip him. The colored men, some of whom were apxious to be'p their friends, were scared away, chiefly 'hrough the efforts of « police- man. Dd in all the violence in the hall and on the street, no single officer attempted to prevent it. ‘Mr. Desendorf escaped in the Co fusion created by the first volley of pistol shots. All the above I saw and heard. Iam in- fo med by men of Portsmouth that the mod were heard to say that Mr. Segar should never go lo Congress if they had to Kill him. The Portsmouth republicans are utterly bopeless of a fair vote in their city. B. POOL SELLING BROKEN UP IN BALTI- MORE — In consequence of @ warning by the authorities yesterday there were no pools sold at Barpum’s last evening on the result of the election. Justice Graff, of the Central Police Court, yesterday morning called at- tention wo article 35, sections 46 and 47 of the Maryland Code, prohibiting bets on the re- sult of the election, and the consequence was that the parties baving in charge the pools abandoned the undertaking, for fear that they would be arrested and legge it is stated that bad they attempted to sell poo's last evening the parties would have been ar- rested by o1 of the police authorities — { American, Nov. 18t, SITTING BULL DEFEATED BY GENERAL MILES.—The St. Paul Pioneer Press bas @ 7 from Bismarck which saya General ies had @ successful fight with Sitting Bull on the 21st and 22d on jar Creek, kill- irg and wounding @ number of Indians. His own loss was two wounded. He chased the Indians about sixty miles, when they divid- ed. ore oe going toward the icy aud all to Fort Peck, Gen. Miles following. General Hazen has gone to Fort Peck with four “ag of infantry and rations for Miles. Sitting Bull crossed the river below Fort Peck on the 24th, and had sent word to the agent that he was coming Frans would be friendly, but wanted ammu- nition. FATAL LocoMOTIVE EXPLOSION.— A special to the Richmond says the boiler of & locomotive on Alexandria, Mapassas and Orange railroad exploded at Abingdon yesterday, killing the fireman, J. W. Jetter, and a ‘Wilson, and Gordon Fugua, a youth, was badly scalded. This was the first trip of the fireman and th engineer. All the window glass in the neigh- Sesnood was broken. the steam gauge, when found, indicated a register of 160 pounds. CENTENNIAL SALE.—There will be @ gen- eral sale of the main bullding and carriage annex, agricultural hall, wagon and jJogical annexes, art annex, peorosreeners, building, shoe and ieather building, ra ball, butter and cheese building other <trvetures belonging to the centennial board of finance Nov. 30. The work of removal of goods will begin Nov. 11 and be finished Nov, 31, unless otherwise authorized. Goods re- maining without authority will be sold for expenses. —________ TERRIBLE DISASTER IN A CHINESE THE- ATER.—Twenty persons were trampled to wou rf day pight last. The panic was causei by @ false alarm of fire. and the crowded audience made a simultaneous rush for the single means of exit; hence the disaster. The Chinese actors kept on with the perform- ance, potwiths ing the excitement, until they were stopped by the police. _ SHALL THE CENTENNIAL BE CONTINUED TILL THANKSGIVING Day?—An effort is being made to continue the Centennial ex- pesition at Philadelphia until Thanksgiving day, which is November 39. The regular closing day is Novemper 10. It is under- stocd General Hawiey 1s in favor of the con- Unuation, and will present the matter to the commissioners. To morrow is German- American da: Pa.

Si. Louis, Mo.. yesterday. | Baltimore. Past, Present and Che Loening Star. *, 48—N2, 7,363. TWO CENTS. re. BaLTIMOR®, October 30, 1576. Editor Ster: To one who has been very often in Washington, yet belonging to Baiti- more, there is much in common between the two cities—one resting where its godfather (the first President) placed 1t, upon the right shore of the Potomac, and the other, bearing also an {lustrious name, gracing the hillsen the right shore, also, of the Patapsco—both upon the domain of Maryland, where the broadest and best prine.pies of civil and re- ligious liberty found frst, not only utter- ance but practice. If you will permit col. omnes 0 plc teally utilized as those of Tae STAR bave ever been in the interest of one of tere cities to point out some characteristics of both, your correspondent will try,with ail the unavoidable baste common to an occa- sional writer, to do so, with more trata than grace of style. Twenty years ago Baltimore was probably the most lawless city within the boundaries of the nationul government; for more than Gfty years it had carried the soubriquet of “meb-town.” In 18i2 its rioters mobbed houses, broke open jatis, as wel! as murdered Revolutionary generals, avd crippled the fatber of the late Gen. Robert E. Lee, simply because they were federalists, belonging to @ schoo! of politics countenanced by Wash- ington and created by Alexander Hamiiton. Forty years later the Empire Clab, a organization of democratic roughs and gam- blers, found arrayed against its political wer, the fanatical scum of the “Koow lothing” party, terribie election riots en- sued, and the result was the dominion of “Americans on guard” for six years, ending with the year 1560. The direct remedy for democratic violence was worse than the disease, elections became & reproach and a mockery, and a nomination by the ruling party was equivalent to an election. The Condition of affairs caused the rulers to have very little respect for public sentiment, but strange to say at no time withia the history of Baltimore did the city achieve more ma- terial p: than within this period of her history. Her pai were acquired, the fire department established, water works organ- ized under city auspices, the fire alarm and police telegraph system put into service, street lines of railway coustructed, the new autnorized, the new jal! built, the house designed, the public school stem greatly enlarged, and olner progres. Si ve legisiation a!] leading to the material ad- vantage as well as the moral ress of the city consummated. The old fire department which bad been the wet nurse of rowdyism, was ex ho mah Education had its succeed- ing moralizing effect, and the city cars dif- fused the rioteus crowds, that formerly gathered in the center,* to so many new but accessible places of resort, that the very scattering of boisterous elements ren dered them to & great extent harmiess. Therefore it came to pass in this city that the strong mind then at the head of the city coverpment, pod that much could be accomplished without immediate responsi- Dility to the people (who rarely permit their servants (0 be enterpriwng), boldly took the ipitiative, being backed tn his councils b; others equally willing, did the work—whiel DOW meets with no condemnatory criticism The fact that be could fora while defy pub- lie selfishness, (which is too often but anoth- er name for the public will,) was in itself of yastservice to the city of Baltimore. In 1960 the carbuncie of lawlessness came to a head and bursted of its own force. Tne courts were reorganized, the police recon- stracted, the fire department annihilated, and public education expanded, and we are but bow reaping the result of the drifting work of @ score of years in the present peace- sal character of the city. The mayor then of the city, to whom this letter alludes, be- came afterwards governor of the state. He bas been electe 1 to Congress repeatediy, and @t one time he had within his control @ Senatorial position. He was xt one time unpopular in Baltimore, but that feeling soon gaveJway to @ sense of gratitude 48 @ conviction came over the people aiver his acts bad “ocular dgmonstration” that he aad been, both as may®r of the city and gov- erner of the state, “the right man in the right pisce.” My letter is growing long, and if you will permit this retrospect to be ‘owed by another letter treating of Balti- more at ths present time, as well as possibly still apother making rome suggestions as to her faturejn connection with Waehington, (shall continue to write. HamMppeEn. 4 Butsia‘’s Uitimata REPORTED SIGNING OF AN ARMISTICE, The Political Correspondence (newspaper) of Vienna publishes a telegram from St. Peters- ourg stating that the order to Gen.

Reuter’s telegram from Belgrade says the consternation caused by the news of tne fall of Djunis bas been replaced by great activity and & strong reaction in favor of continuing the struggle. Minister Ristica in conversa- tion to-day declared that Djunis was not Servia, and that the government was deter- mined to resist to the last, even though abandoned by all Europe. He attributed the fall of Djanis to the reinforcement of twenty battalions and eighteen heavy — guns received by tne Turks from Nisch. He said the Turks bad been further reinforced by Dervish Pasha’s army, which arrived before Javar from the Montenegrin frontier. Prince Milan bss arrived at Paratchin. Tcher- Davefl’s army is at Deligrad, and Horvato- vich’s command 1s halt way between Djunis and Krojevats. The London Standard’s dis- read in the streets throughout the day call- SAF 0a Si Btie-Roasen men to report them- selves for immediate service. Turks lack transportation, and can therefore advance but slowly. It is rumored that Italy and Austria have offered mediation, AN ARMISTICE SIGNED. A dispatch to the London Daily Teleyraph, dated Constantinople, Tuesday evening, as- serts that an armistice for two months has been sigted. A special from Pesth to the same paper says it is stated that a confer- ence has been resolved upon.
