Special Dispatch to Tue Evextxe Stam, Ixptaxapouts, Ixp., Nov. 4.—If there is any- thing in the weather in bringing out a vote the republicans have no reason to complain today. The morning has been bright and cheery, and their vote on the north side of the city is very satisfactory.

Chairman Irby of the stats commitice telegraphs from Columbia at 12 o'clock as follows: “fhe prospects aro glorious, The negroes are taking but little interest here. At Georgetown they are voting for Tillman.” Chairman Lyles of the Haskell committee telegraphs that “gross irregularities have been practiced by the Tillmanites, but that all news inlicate Judge Haskell’s clection by a large majority.” Scattering dispatches from all parts of the state say that the negroes are staying away from the polls, The demo- cratic candidates for Congress in all districts ex- cept possibly in the seventh will bo elected, Even the seventh district is claimed by the democrats because the white democrats aro voting solidly for Elliott.

Members of the legislature are also to be | elected and a moro than ordinary degree of in- terest is taken in this latter contest, as a United States Senator is to be elected at the next ses- sion of the legislature to succeed Leland Stan- ford, republi Besides the regular republican and democr: tickets, the American and prohibition parties have formed a combination und placed a state ticket in the ficld, and the united labor party 1s also represented in the state contest, The latrer parties, however, have not made a very active campaign and the real contest will be between the re ican and democratic nomi- nces. ‘The re n candidate for yovernor is Henry H.

The democrats are polling about the usual vote in the cities of Richmond and Manchester for George D. Wise for Congress, who has no opposition. A nota- ble feature of the election is the absence of colored voters at the polls. Occasionally on may be observed approaching a precinct with a democratic ballot in hand. John M. Langston came over from Petersburg this morning. The object of his visit has not yet been ascertained, The election in Petersburg is quite spirited. Ricumoxp, Va., Nov. 4.—City Councilmen A. B..Guigon and A. J. Phillips were arrested this morning upon a charge of being about to com- mit a breach of the peace by fighting a duel or otherwise, Justice Crathfield, after hear testimony, dismissed the case. ‘The parties ha a hot altercation in the council chamber this morning, which was resumed on the street, where the lie was passed.

The Vaux Contest Exciting. Purtapetpnta, Nov. 4.—Election division offi- cers report an average full vote cast up to noon throughout the city. Auy statement of results by the election officers in the various voting precinets would be merely guesswork, as under the state laws they are not allowed to open the Dailot boxes or make any count of the votes cast until the polls are closed at 7 p.m. An exciting contest is in progress in the third congressional district, which was so many years represented by the late Samuel J. Kan- dall, Richard Vaux was at the time of Mr. Nan- dali's death elected to serve the unexpired term, but was defeated in the democratic nominating convertion for the fullterm, Wm. McAleer reeciving the nomination, Mr. Vaux's friends, however, placed him in nominatian as an independent candidate and the republican party made no nomination, ‘The district com- prises eight of the wards in the southern and central part of the city, and in 1858 gave Randall 17,642 votes against 112 scattering, there being no republican candidat against lim, McAleer and Vaux each have a sirong following, and the voters are persistently importuned by each faction to cast their votes for the respective tavorites. AN UNPRECEDENTED YOTE. Prrtspera, Nov. 4.—From present indications the vote poiled today will be the heaviest over known here. Great intcrest is being mani- fosted in the election, and both parties are ex- tothe utmost to get out every voter.

His majority, however, is so large that there is no danger of his defeat. Charges of fraud and illegal. voting. «are being made both parties. In the first ward United States marshals have been placed at the polls, The feeling is intensely bitter, particularly between the two factions of the republican party, but 60 far no trouble has Leen reported.

PrrrsaurG, Nov. 4.—Political circles wero greatly exercised this morning over what ap- pears tohaye been an attempt at wholesale election fraud. A echeme, it is said, was con- cocted to flood the city with bogus tax receipts for the use of illegal voters, It stated that the club rooms of a well-known political ~— organization wore the headguarters of the plotters, and from theuce the receipts were issued to applicants. ‘The United States authorities, it 1s claimed, have been furnished proof of these assertions, and preparation has becn made for the arrest of every individual who attempts to vote on the bogus receipts. The persous who are charged with batching the plot are promiuent in politics and are in d r of arrest, ‘Yne above hus been confirmed by Henry O'Yoole, a clerk in the county delinquent tax collector's oftice. Mr. O'Loole says that yes- terday he was approached by Chairman W. D. Porter of the republican uty committee, who exhibited to him a large namber of tax receipts bearing the d signature of O"foole. O'Loole pronounced the signatures a forgery. Chiurinan Porter charges that the receipts have been put out in the interest of democrats, and xtutes that over 15,000 bogus receipts have been given out. O'Toole is a democrat, holding his’ position, however, in a republican otlice. ‘The democrats and independent republicans, however, discredit the above report, branding itasascheme onthe part of the republican county committee to secure the appointment of deputy United States marshals—favorable to Delawater—to stand guard at the pals, seein MASSACHUSETTS, The Fine Weather Brings Out a Full Vote.

THE JUDGE'S CHARGE TO THE JURY. The court in charging tho jury said that no one had aright to mazntain a nuisance, even on his own premises, and those who are affected by such nuisamce may abate it if they can do so without a breach of the peace. The defendant had a right to abate the nuisance, but when it became apparent that a breach of the peace wes inevitable he should have desisted. It was claimed that no force was used = until Court made a — threat, but this was not admitted by the defendant and th.s was a question for the jury. If defendant had no reasonable ground w apprenend an at tack from Court they should tind a verdict of Ity. The detendant had a right to abate e, but shouid have desixted when a hof the peace was necessary to enable him to complete his work. A verdict of not guilty was rendored. > DISTRICT GUVERNMENT, FIRES LAST MONTH, The report of Chicf Parris ot the fire depart- ment for the mouth of October was submitted Daring a loss of €1,750, with an insurance of €1,310, for the preceding month, MR, CLARKE WRITES The Commissioners have re letter froza Mr. 8.
