Nichols, of Iowa, for wagon service, and the next lowest from the St. Loufs Bridge Company, for railroad service, at $21,500 per annum. GOVERNMENT PURCHASES OF BOND3 TO BE ConTINUED.—The Secretary of the Treasury has instructed the assistant secretary at New York to receive offers of sixes of 1550 0n each Wed- nesday as heretofore, the offers to be strictly confined to the bonds of that class; and has authorized him to purchase during the present week those bonds to an amount not exceeding $1,500,000, at a Maximum of £102.75. Secretary Sierdan says “for the past two months the purchase of sixes of isso have been preferred by thed ‘rtment, but the price demanded by holders ran upto the fll amonnt of the bonds Including Interest when due.” In THE Cask OF MILTON C.

Who was arrested in New York city for illegal registration some days before the elec- tion, ttappears from the account in the D Yor! pers that there was no criminal inte on his (part to secure a vote in more than one place.) but that the technical charge of illegal regisiration arose from his wife's illness, which prevented him from occupying the room he had engaged at Ni 2d street, New York city. THE PLACARD N. GARFIELD'S DOOR BELL. Wednesday morning Officer Young, of the él precinet, poticed a placard on the door bell oi Gen. James A. Garfleld’s residence, corner of I and 13th streets n.w., as follows:—“Noricg.— Gen. James A. Garfield will on and after March 4th, ISSI, be found at the mansion now occupled by R. B.

SECRETARY TuoMrson and Messrs, Charley and Harry Thompson returned to the city last evening from Indiana. The Secretary will soon commence the preparation of his annual report. SOMETHING LIKE A Masortry.—Congressman Washburn, of Minnesota, whose seat Donnelley attempted to get, isreturned by an estimated majority of over 10,000, and his democratic op- ponent, Gen. Sibicy, Was regarded as a stroug nan. Eow Iv Looks To-pay.—The later ds atehes Mmdicate that the California legislatare Is repub- 1 can by a small majority, and that the Tennes- see legislature is democratic. Th!s will make the next Senate stand 37 repubil- ins, 37 de-no- crats and 2 independents—Mahob, of Virginia, and Davis, of Illinois. Senator Davis will, no doubt, vote with the democrats in the organiza- Uon of the Senate, and it is probable that Gen- eral Mahone will do likewise. Should the latter determine to vote with the republicans it would Ue the Senate and give the republicans actual control of the boay through the voteor the Vice President. DEMORALIZED INDIANA DEMOCRACY.—Those who have returned from Indiana say that the democracy of that state is the worst demoral- zed organization that the sun ever shone on. ‘There are curses loud and deep, and Mr. Eng- lish gets most of them. It is predicted that the Indiana democracy will over its quarrels and bickerings about the way things went in tue State split ail to pieces, AMONG THE LEA’ OF ABSENCE granted Raval officers during the week ended yesterday Was an extension of three weeks to chief engi- neer R.

INTERNAL REVENUE SEIZURB.—Collector Wad> telegraphs Acting Commissioner hogers tron Savannah to-day as follows: Deputy Taylor re ports seizure of an Ulicit distillery in Oziethorpe, ecnsisting of two copper stills, caps and worms, and about 150 gallous of beer. ILoyD LINE TO Stor aT GOTHEXBURG.—The copsul cf the United States ut Gothenburg informs the Department of State that he 13 told by the managing director of the “‘Stettiner Lieya’ that the company contemplates having tts steamers call at Gothenburg regularly on their outward voyages, and on the return trip as often a8 circumstances may require. Tils will insure direct monthly stesm communica- tion from Gothenburg to New York, and can- not fail to have a beneficial effect upon the trade relations between the two ports. COMMISSIONER Kacm is expected back to- night. It was thought that he would arrive last evening, and the lady employés in his bureau had made great preparations to welcome him. Flowers covered and decorated his desk, and the different rooms where ladies are em- Pplos ed were profusely adorned with everything Ubat the bot-house affords. They were greatly disappointed atthe commissioner’s not belong in his office this morning. CALIFORNIA STILL CLAIMED BY THE DEMO- craTs.—The democrats still claim the Callfor- nia legislature. They say they have carried the legislative delegation from San Francisco, Wulch Js about one-fourth of the whole body, ard that this advantage cannot be overcome In the remainder of the state. REJOICING OVER THE RESULT.—The clerks of the Illinois division of the Pension Office hada Particularly good tims this morning over the result of Tuesday’s election. Upon the retura of Chief Merrifield from Maine he found the room hanasomely decorated with the nattonal colors and bumerous tasteful designs. Behind the ehfef’s desk were fine pictures of Garfleld and Arthur in unique frames surmounted by small flags. Over another desk was a large sized pencil drawing, representing a roosier lust ily crowing “victory,” and underneath was the moito, “The story’s told.” Other desigas wire “The arrival of the Garfleld train,” a pencil drawing of Gen.

Secretary McPherson, of the Republican Con- gressional Committee, to-day claims that the next Houee will have 150 repubdlican members against a united opposition of 143, making a majority of seven over all. This is based on gains made as follows: Virginia, 1; North Caro- Mra, 1; Tennessee, Louisiana, 1; Towa, 2; Maine, 1; Wisconsin, 1; Missourl, 1; Pennsylva- hia, 3; West Virginia, 1: Kentucky, 1; Mlinots, 1. ‘This makes a net republican gain of 16 mem- bers. From this there is to be deducted repub- lican losses as follows: New York, 4; Nevada, 1; and California, 1; a Joss of 6, This leaves a clear republican gain of 10 members, which added to he 140 members makes 150. ‘These figures, while doubtless good guess¢s, need confirmation. In Pennsylvania, Harry White 13 not yet out of the woods. Neither is it entirely safe to claim the gain in West Virginta, although the latest reports indicate that Wilson, democrat, is defeated. The gain claimedin North Caro- lina also needs positive confirmation, although the chances seem to be that Ketchen, dem., 13 defeated. Assuming, however, that these claims are erroneous, and that the republicans have none of the districts tn doubt, the figures w Il stand republicans 147, the united opposition 145, @ Clear majority of one over all opposition. ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE. If Congressman Frye, of Maine, is not elected to succeed Senator Hamlin, his chances for the speakership of the House will be excel- lent. He is a warm personal friend of the President-elect, and has a goodly following in the House. It is urged in Frye’s favor ag against Kasson, of Iowa, that the continuous service of Frye in the House, and his eminent public service entitles him to_preside over a re- publiesn House. Mr. Edward McPherson, the late © _rk of the House it ts said would be again willing to accept that trust. Heisno stranger to the duties and made an excellent officer when be heid the position. N. G. Ordway, who was sergeant-at-arms when the democrats took charge, is now gover- nor of Dakota territory. He would hardly e: change the place he now holds for this office. ‘This leaves 1t open for a scrub race. Hank Sherwood, a one-legyed Union veteran, who was assistant doorkeeper of the House when under republican control, will be a for- midable candidate for the doorkeeper's place. Mr. Buxton, the old incumbent, 1s dead. SENATE ORGANIZATION. Ex-Senator Dorsey, it ts sald, would like to succeed Secretary Birch as Secretary of the Senate, The next Senate will probably consist of 39 democrats and 37 republicans. This includes both Mahone and David Davis as democrats. Either of them if they act with the republicans can give that party control of its organization. the committees and the patronage. ‘The repub- licans claim that Mahone will act with them in consideration of having at his alsposal the federal patronage in Virginia. As to the COMMITTEES OF THE NEXT HOUSE the more prominent ones will probably have the following chairmen: Eiections, Kiefer, of Onio; ways and means, Conger, of Michigan; appro- Lo pheorie Hubbell, of Michigan; banking and Currency, Crapo, of Massachusetts; Paciti: railroads, Harmer, of Pennsylvania; commsi O'Neill, of Pennsylvania; public lands, Wash- burn, of Minnesota; post offices and post roads, Ketel , of New York; District of Columbia, Neal, of Ohio; judiciary, Reed of Maine; Indian. affairs: Pound, of Wisconsin; military ‘affairs, MeCoox, of New York; naval affairs, Harris, of Massachusetts; foreign affairs, Rice, of Mas32- chusétis; patents, Ward, of Pennsylvania. AN EXTRA SESSION. The belief among republicans is that Presi- aent-elect Gartield will call the House tn extra Session on the 5th of March next for reorgan! zation, and the Senate, as 13 always the custom, to confirm his Cabinet and such other nomina- tions as he may have to make, PROBABLE APPOINTMENTS, Major Swayne, judge advocate of the ar-ay, 1s put down to succeed Mr. Rodgers as privue secretary. He has attended to the personal correspondence of Gen. Garfield at Mentor dur- ing the Ce tag Col W. b. Hazen, according to gossip, is likely to receive the appointment as chief signa officer of the army. Odds and Ends. — President Garfield attends the Discis church, on Vermont avenue.

Excitement at the Capitol. WHAT SOMEDODY SAID BEN. BUTLER SAID—WHAT BB. DID SAY, Something of a sensation was created at the Capitol to-day by a report that Gen. B. F. Bat- ler, while at the Supreme Court, had sald the revised and corrected vote in New York would show amajority for Hancock. Two employes of the House stated that they had heard Gen. Butler make the assertion; also that the Gen- eral said he had just bet $600 that Hancock would be the next President. The excitement ‘Was increased by a report that John Kelly nad telegraphed Mr. John E. Norris not to give uo bets on New York, as the result was undecided. An nelle beara by a Stak reporter made it probable that the rumor had grown out of a Statement by Gen. Butler to the effect that if the “fraudulent votes” in New York were thrown out Eancock would have a majority. For a while the statement of the two House employes created considerable excitement. A GOVERNMENT CLERK’s VOTE.—The N. Y. World to-day says: “Wm. H. B. Kitson, a clerk in the Adjutant General's office’at Washington. went to vote at Mount Vernon, where he lived before going to Washington. “Although refused registration he succeeded in votin, once arrested on the complaint of Charles M. Schieffelin. The latter discovering that Mr. Kitson was a legal voter, wanted to withdraw the complaint, but Justice McClellan held an examination which resulted in Mr, Kitson’s discharge.

In our history we can see in the past Franklin and Lincoin, and then comes Garfield as the self- made man of the United States, the best fllus- tration and example of what under our insti u- tions may occur to the humblest boy, the hum- b.est child of the republic; an example of what can be done wiere all have a fair siart and an equal chance in the race of life. Finally, my | ftlends, we rejoice because we feel assured ‘that in the wise and firm and moderate administra- Uon of Gen. Garfield our country is to attain an era Of prosperity not surpassed in any country On the face of the globe. Undcr his broad and lip- eral and generous administration every section of this country will be fairly and justly dealt with, He will say to the mistaken men of the south, ‘You will be treated precisely as the citl- zens of Iny own state Of Obio are to ba treated. All that we ask of you ts that you shall faith- fully obey the Constitution as It now is, regard- ing the new parts as equal parts, and asequa‘ly sacred with the old.’ Doing this to the ‘cums, istration of Gen. Garfield, every Itberal and gen- erous act required on his part will be cheerfally and gladly done. Extending to every state is State's rights, he requires of them that they Shall accord to every citizen his indtviduaf rights. With this done, with harmony restore] throughout the Union and all classes, I say again that tbe blessings of the victory gained on Tuesday by you are blessings alike and equally to Uhe republican and to the democrat, and to the southern man and to the northern an a to whoever is a citizen of the United States.

CURIOSITIES OF A VOTERS’ REGISTRY.—The great register of Sacramento county, just seat cut by the county ‘lerk to the various vot! Precincts, contains che names of 11,426 voters In the lists will be found a large number of names where the initials are inclosed in quota- marks. In all such cases the explanation 4s tbat the voter has no name for the inlual. Ia seme instances it happens that all the faitials are thus quoted, and those are cases wherein the voter has no given name, unless the tattial: are to be called names. Out of the whole num- ber of persons registered 978 were born in the country now known as the German Empire, in- cluding Belgium and the Netherlands; 2 1s9 were born under the neg ot Great Britain, and Of these 1,239 were born in Ireland. Of all other fereign nationalities there are 646, one person being born of American parents in Chini. To this are to be aaded 17 born at sea, whose na- tonality 1s not indicated on the register. Clas- sifying them, for convenience sake, as forei:n. €rs, the result gives 7,597 native born persons Teg'stered as voters in this county.

Hancock received 150 votes, Including Nevada, New Jersey and tae solid South, ‘The talk of some of the democrats th: will attempt to count out New York’ is leoked upon by the Repubdilean National Committee as ridiculous. ‘The cooler counsels Will no doubt prevail in that matter, and ali dispute be settled by a frank admission of the democrats that they are defeated. Fx-Senator Barnum ts the tustigator of this hoax, which is only tronblesome to business 1n- terests, but he has few udherents in the matter.

The “Herald” says John Kelly Du it_The “Sun” says Dito—The “World” says John Kelly, Mr. ‘Til- den and Boss McLauglin Did it— ‘The “Times” and ‘Tribune’ D. nounce the Counting out Project. [Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.) ‘New Yous, Nov. 5.—The Heraid continues to pour hot shot into John Kelly, charging tha’ and he aione is responsible for the loss of N York state to the democracy, and the con> quent defeat of Hancock. The Sun also chirgs that “John Kelly did it,” and_ says: ** Tae p ss. session and retention of the office of comptrat +r of the city of New York by John Kelly bh: cost the democracy the control of the govers. ment Of the state of New York, and the coutr of the government of the United States for bext four years.” The Times says, in reference to the wild ra. mors ailoat that the vote of New York wi!l not be counted for Garfield, that the republic:a electors have a majority fn that state of at least 23,000, and that there is no method by which the republican party can be cheated out of tae fruits of victé The 7ripune, upon the sam+ topic, says: “Mr, Barnum will do well to stop right where he 1s. The business public are in nO mcod to tolerate seditious fooling. No hu- man being in New York doubts that the state has honesuy and irrevocably gone republican. To threaten to thwart the will of the people is afolly, because Mr. Barnum can no more do it than ride into Heaven on one of his mules. But it is also a crime, because, to the extent to which anybody supposed him to represent his party, it would mean delay, confusion and Tr. The Tribune estimates Gen. Gartield’s majority to-day, as it did yesterday, at from 22,000 to 25,000,’ In the table of county majorities which. is printed elsewhere, half a dozen coun- Ues are merely estimated. In all other cases, either the exact vote is given, or an estimate which has been made in the locality and tele- graphed by the imparual agents of the As30- elated Press, The majority thuS-obtained 13 22,205, which exact returns from the remain- ing counties will probably increase to 25,000.” ‘The World says that Gen. Hancock lost the state “through the misconduct of democratic Jeaders in the cities ot New York and Brooklyn. ‘The returns make this absolutely certain. Tae most hopeful republicans did not venture be- fore the election to estimate Gen. Hancock’sma- reat in this city at less than 55,000 or to Kipgs at less than 15,000, These majorities were conceded by all well-informed repub! cans except those republicans whose inform: tion was of a strictly confidential and they relied upon tremendous gains in the inte- rior counties to carry the state. Thetr reifanc> is now shown to have been vain. There have been no such gains in the interioras would have offet the Hes eed which, according to all preve- dent and bability, should have been cast for General Haneock in these two cities, none which would have offset even the majority which Mr. Tilden received in these two cities four years ago.” KENTUCKY CONGRESSMEN.

It cannot mate- Mally affect thesouth.

The sun will Still sbine, the gentle Showers will fall, se-d Ume and harvest will still bring their blessing ard our great staple must continue to be a power in the commercial world, whtic and tren and other min. erals will yield a wealth of which tac world does not dream. Let the solid south— solid always for home rule and honest govera- ment—now give its greatest vigliance and wisest counsels nOt to national politics or to the con- filcts and ions of bational parties, but tothe building up and advancing of our educational, moral and material interests.
