News Exom Tae PActrio SQvapRoy.—Rear Ad- miral Upshur, commanding the Pacifie squadron, im a dispatch to the Navy department from Callao, Peru, October 2ist, reports the following aispost- Uion Of vessels of his juadron: F! ford, the Shenandoah, Wachusett, and Onward were at anchor at Callao; the Iroquois was cruising in Australian waters, and is expected to return to the South American coast avout Feb- Tuary 15th; the Lackawanna was expected [rom Panama in a few days. The admiral expected to leave in the flagship apout 3ist October for Val- Ppariso, Louching at various points on the coast, and $0 be in Coquimbo trom the 15th of November un- Ul about the 10th of December. The Lackawanna and Shenandoah would in afew days proceed souh to visit forts on the coast of Chill, and the Monongahela would sail for Coquimbo November 15th, where she will be stationed as store ship. The Wachusett would remain at Callao for re- airs. The Onward has to be sold on the 14th of November. The heaith of the officers and men of the squadron ts reported excellent. Tue NasioNaL Bank Systev.—The controller of the Treasury, at the request of the Secretary, will withhold his annual report until a few days before the meeting of Congress, He says, however, that 191 new national banks have been chartered during the year, and a net aggregate of $15,000,000 has been added to the national bank capital durin: that period. Eleven national banks have fulle this year, and one hundred failures have occurred Since the passage of the national bank act of 1863. Mr. Cannon thinks this an excellent showing tor the system, considering the great number of banks that have Been organized and the financial panics which have occurred, sweeping away state and private banks, ‘THE GOVERNMENT'S CLAIM AGAINST GEN. ADAM Ba- ‘DEAU.—General Adam Badeau has applied to the Treasury department to have the claim of the gov- ernment against him transferred to the ‘ourt of Claims for arbitrament. The claim is for about $12,000, on account of fees alleged to have been ll- legally retained by Gen. Badeau recently, while United States consul general at Havana. The Sec- retary of the Treasury has refused the applieation, on the ground that the executive departments can refer to the Court of Claims only claims against the government, and not government claims against individuals. The matter is now tn the hands of the solicitor of the Treasury, who has been instructed to Institute proceedings against Gen. Badeat to recover the amount due.” Nava OFFICERS AND THE COMING CHANGE OF ADMINISTRATION.—AS heretofore stated the pros- pect of a democratic administration naturally calls forth less comment in the army and navy than in other branches of the government. Naval officers in particular act as If they care very little wno 13 President, so long as the navy is given a show. By conversing with a number of naval officers of prominence a Star reporter learned that there is a general feeling of satisfaction with the approach- ing change, for 1t 1s firmiy believed tn naval circles that Cleveland as Presideat wil] do all in lis Power 0 build up the navy. | Witn a democratic louse to back his efforts in this respect they 100k fora boom in naval affairs generally. ‘Twetve New Crvisers.—The naval advisory board recommended to the Secretary of the Navy | that the navy be increased by twelve new cruisers, which are to be provided for 1n the appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1886. The Tetary directed the chiefs of the bureaus of con. struction and repair, of ordnance, of steam en- neering, and Of equipment and recruiting to sub- mit estimates Of the expenses their respective bureaus in sels. ‘They have mad tary, with estimates $4,161,000; engineering, See $ 0; armament, $2,001,918, and equipment, $76,000.

Heshares with Senator Gorman the honor of having managed a victorious fight. To a Stan reporter to-day Senator Jonas said that there 1s no room for anybody to question the result of the election.

My faith fs founded upon some knowl- edge of fs character and convictions. Truly yours, GroRGE WILLIAM CURTIS. Pid me ‘The District Offices Under Cleveland. THE BOARD OF COMMISSION: DEMOCRATS IN Fa- VOR OF HOME RULE—THE MARSHALSHIP, ETC. As the certainty of Cleveland's election becomes more apparent, the tall of now the local federal patronage will be distributed in Washington grows louder. It is said that Mr, W. U. Hensel, editor of the Lancaster Examiner, and chairman of the dem- ocratic state committee of Pennsylvania, will be an appitcant for the position of U.S. marshal of the District of Columbia,, ‘The rumor that Mr, Wm. Dickson will be urged by his friends for a place on the board of Commissfoners isin general circulation, It seems, however, that Mr. Dickson himself has not said anything oh the subject. He has been a diligent and earnest worker in the democratic cause, &nd many suppose that the success of his party will brins his reward. Among the leading | democrats who are bona mde residents of the Dis- trict there 1s a manifest purpose (o use their in- fluence to have District men put on the board. ‘They want Commissioners who have lived here h, they say, to Know the people and their needs—inen who Are Identified with local in- terests. While the purpose to obtain the appoint- ment of Commissioners chosen from among oid cit izens 1s apparent enough, the selection of persons to be recommended ts left for the future. Hon. R. T. Merrick, a r@sigent of Washington, is named by Y as ah excellent man to fill the position of At- vorney General in the new cabinet. The indica- Uons are that there will not be any luck of candl- dates for local _ government positions. ‘The deino- erats of Washington boast that though deprived of the right to vote they have contributed no little to democratic success, and it stands to reason that such places as the U.S, marshalship, register of Wills, district attorney, étc., will not go begging for want of democrats to fill them. seo The Democrats and the Post Offices. THR PROSPECTIVE RUSH SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEGUN. Recently the correspondents of different news- Papers have obtained from the Post Office depart- ment lists giving the dates when the terms of post- masters in most of the northern states expire. The Post Office officials are inclined to think that this 1s the beginining of the rush of which they had some experience when Gen. Graut succeeded Andrew Johnson. Immense numbers ot People visited the department for the purpose of gaining information in regard to the various post offices and the places connected with them. In connection with this prospective demand for office from the outside, an ; Old official recalls the circumstance that when the Tepublicans came Into power in 1861, there were but few discharges made for the reason that 1t was found Impossible to carry on the public business without the experience of those who held the offices. All who took the oath of allegiance were retained and many of them are still in oMfice.

Raxzion, N. C., November 14. ‘The next four months will witness the complete annihilation of the republiéan party In the south, for after next March all that will be left of t¢ will beamemory. The federal offices are all that have kept it alive in many of the southern states for a number of years, and when they are transferred to democratic hands an avowed white republican will bea rart avis, indeed, in these parts. With the possible exception of Virginia,there will be no opposition at the next state election to the democratic nominees !n any southern state, but that sort of thing will not continue long. No coun- try, no section of country, no state has ever been known to be without an opposition party for any great length of time. What, then, will be the re- SUIt Of undisputed democratic ascendency? ‘The answer ts plain: It will continue fora few years and in the meantime discord and dissensions wil de sown, and in a very short time a new party will spring up, if a great political revolution does not take place. * Spondent to several prominent and intelligent gen- Ueren who have acted with the repubilcan party, or rather who have constituted the head of that party in this stare ever since the close of the war, With a view of obtaining their opinions, AN were of the decided opinion that the colored vote must divide; that just so iong as these men vote solidiy the republican or any other anti<iemocratic Ucket just so long would there continue to be a solid democratic south, And it is equally tue, said Uhey, that as Soon as that vote divides the white vote would split, too; and it will be better for both races the sooner this'is brought about. ‘The demo- crats here, however, do not want the colored vote, and will not solicit, If they tolerate, his acquist- Uon to their ranks. ‘That fact makes the proviem Dut the harder to solve. “I am disgusted with the colored man asa voter,” said one of these gentleman—a man who has probably done more to establish and execute ‘the political rights of the black man in this state than any other man in it—“they have all tne rights and privileges, politically, and the protection of the law thrown ground them that the white man has; but they haven't got the manhood, the pluck to assert or to exercise those rights, ‘The re- publican party freed them and put a ballot In their ands, and instead of profiting by it the act was simply a presentation Of 0 many votes to the op- position.” & Dr. York, the late coalition gubernatorial can- didate, has remained very quietly at ils home in Wilkesboro’ since the day of election. He ts more astonished than anybody at his overwhelming de- feat; indeed, the size of the democratic majority in this State was a surprise to the democratic leaders themselves. ‘They confidently expected to win the day, but did not look for more than one-fifth of twenty-five thousand majority. “Yes,” sald Dr. York, when questioned, “I know What defeated me. ‘There was no end of intimida- tion and threats of ostracism, social and oiher- wise, to begin with. Business considerations were made an {ssue, and I believe that muck fraud has been praciiced, but. the primne cause of our defeat was the cry of Social equality which the democrats raised during the last two or three weeks of the campaign. The pending Edmunds civil rights Dill was played for all it was worth. That thing was harped upon and lied about by democratic speakers thatif they voted for me social equality would be an established fact the moment I assumed the ex- ecutive chair. Oh, 1t was a great card for tbe dem- ocrats and they played it weil.” Like the other gentlemen Interviewed, he be- Meved from present indications that the republican pariy In the south was dead, if not forever, cer tainly untli the colored vote Was divided between two or more parties. ‘There has hot been made such an effort in any southern state since the war to overthrow the Party in power as was made here in North Carolina unis year, The coalitionists numbered some of the best men inthe state. Their campaign was ag- gressive, thorough and effective, and ti tne election ad been held one month before’ it was they would undoubtedly have been triumphant at the polls; but just so $00n as the democrats, seeing their dan- ger, raised the race issue, the Fanks of the coall- Uonists began to waver, and continued to waver until they were repulsed on the: day of election by the largest democratic majority ever given in the history of the state, before or since the war. Gen, Scales, the democratic ovemor-elect, will have a majority of between 19,000 and 20,000, nearly all the returns having been received at ‘this date, ‘The official majority of Gen. Cox, Congressman tor this (fourth) district ts 4,114, a gain of over 3,000. The legislature, 1t is now cefinitely ascertained, Will be democratic by a two-thirds majority on joint ballot. Senator Zeb. Vance, the particular idol of the democracy of this state, will be re-elected with- out opposition. The coalitionists peere gains in the counties of Pitt, New Hanover, Yadkin, Allezhany, Jackson, Macon, Mitchell, Yancey and others. ‘The gain in Pitt alone was sufMicient to have overcome the dem- veratic majority of 443 in 1882, If they had held their own in the balance of the state; but, unfor- ‘tunately for them, they lost heavily in two-thirds of the counties ani were consequently badly beaten. This, taken together with the defeat of the national ticket, has left them disheartened, disorganized and without plans for the future. —$ Affairs on the Virginia Side.

HISTORY AND PEDIGREE OF THE BRIDE OF THE AGED GENERAL A despatch from St Louis furnishes interesting information regarding the lady married by General Harney in that city on Thursday. One of the most Interesting points about this wedding ts the fact (hat the bride claims to be one of the four Iving descendants of the great protector, Oliver Crom- | Well. She was born in Baltimore in 1826, her name being Mary Cromwell. The famtly papers are all at present stored in Washln and include mouldy old old letters, and old docu- ments, which leaves little doubt ‘in the minds of tose who have seen them that the claim is well founded, The descent runs thus: Oliver Cromwell Was Dorn in 1599, and dled in 1658, having had four sons—Kobert, who died unmarried; Oliver, who was Killed in battle in 1648; Richard, who succeeded his father as lord protector; and ‘the youngest san, Henry, who was born January 20, 1628, and who died in 167% This gentleman had two sons, Oliver and Henry.. The latter's son, Thomas, was in 1699, mn, Henry, came to America,and was the grandiatber of urs Harney. Airs, Habney has one daughter, Miss Mary St. Cyr, who is at. it at the Sacred’Heart convent at Maryville. one sister living in St. Louis, and relatives more and Washington. Mrs. Mary E. St. Cyr, the bride, bad Harney’s housekeeper for the past six acted aiso as his secretary and manager of estate, valued al over oue million dollars. come amounts to $100,000 per annum.

Many Tons of Ballots. 4 FANCIFUL STUDY IN STATISTIC8 APPLICABLE £O THE ELECTION ON TUESDAY. From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Here are facts and Sgures not usually appended toelection returns. The history of past elections teaches that this vote of the nation advances from President to President by steps measured in num- bers by 10 per cent. The total vote of 1868 was 5,724,654; of 1872, was 6,465,805; of 1876, was 8,412,738; of 1880, Was 9,210,970. Add 10 per cent to this last Total and the estimate for the vote going into the allot boxes to-day will be 10,812,067, an approxi- | Mation borne out by other calculations, and which ‘will be found not far out of the result. A ballot is @ plece of paper averaging four inches wide and 103 long. One hundred and fifty ballots will weigh about a pound. Two hundred and fifty bal- lots laid on other will moanure about an inch, To ire these bits Tr at & reasonal profit costs ninety centsa thousand. If the ballot. cast today were placed end to end they would reach in a Continuous line from Washington, D. C., to El Paso, in Texas, or they would trom Eastport, Me., to New Orleans, as tbe crow fies If one end of the long line of paper were fas! at Cape Fiattery, the extreme northwestern monotory of Washington Territory, the other would pass Kansas City, with eough miles & spare to reach Sedalia. This bas only todo with the ballots sctually voted. The number of ballots printed, ot courss, 1s tremendousiy larger than the smount voted In St. Louts, for instance, the democrats have ad 600,000, Ue other parties in all 700,000, making for this one town a total of 1,300,000. ‘It is ally admitted, however, that the vote of St. Louit will not, at the outside, make more than 50,000, Here, then, is a surpius of twenty-six ballots for each’ one Cast. This makes the total of ballots offered to the people throughout America at this election 260,000,! It would require eighty-five freight cars [6 move uhis load of paper, whose weight 1s 1,716,000 pounds. _ The white paper. and Princing of the mass has cost $234,000. Pasted end to end there would bepaper enough go en- Urely around tbe globe, leaving 10,000 to spare for a gigantic double -kDOt, which would cover the greater pari of the two Americas, or if one preferred to keep the string in the Untted States there would miles enough to Wrap the streamer thirty-nine times around tbe j State of Mi and still leave enough over to reach from the -Dispatch building to Gover- nor Cleveland's private office in the state house at Albany.
