WEST VIRGINIA ELECTION. ‘he Geneva Arbitration Court in 2} propable Defeat of the New Constitution. THE RETURNS NOT ALL IN. Jacob Said To Be Elected by from 2,000 to 3,000 Majority. MARTINSBURG, W. Va., August 2%, 1872, The returns come in very slowly, and only a few counties are yet officially reported, but enough is known to hazard the assertion that the constitu- tion is defeated by from two thousand to three thousand majority, and Jacob clected Governor by about the same vote. By far the-largest vote ever castin the State has been brought out, and the result has completely surprised both parties. In nearly every county heard from large majori- ties are given against the constitution and for Jacob, and especially is this true in counties for- merly democratic, showing a great division in that party. In this county last year there were 200 democratic majority, The majority for Jacob is 125, and against the constitution 158; and the republicans have elected all their county oficers by about the same majority. In Morgan, the adjoining county, Jacob’s majority is 201, and 144 against the constitu- tion, Jefferson county, the other adjoining county,” which gave last year 800 democratic majority, ia now reported as giving .a small majority against the constitution, and in nearly every county within reach of telegraphic communication does the same state of affairs exist. Never was a bocal party organization ever tum- bled from such @ height by their own mismanage- ment as the democratic party of this State in this election, They are completely demoralized, and the republicans may reap a lasting benefit from their chaotic confition if they will.

Governor Hoffman’s Letter Appointing a Commission to Investigate the Charges of Abuse in This and All Similar Insti- tutions in the State. ALBANY, August 23, 1872, Governor Hoffman has appointed a Commission to examine the charges against the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum. The following is his letter upon that subject :— ALBANY, August 23, 1872, GENTLEMEN—Charges of abuses in the Blooming- dale Lunatic Asylum have lately been made in the public ae by parties who give their names and avow their ability to prove their allegations. ‘This asylum is, in common with others of less note, a purely private establishment, subject to ‘no supervision of the public authorities. Our laws permit the confinement of ee lunatics ‘a8 well In these private institutions us in the public asylums of the State, upon the order of Tmagistraton of the grade of Justice of the Peace issued upon the certificate of any two Diysicians. This condition of the jaw, giving prea for abuses, I have more than once asked the Legisla- ture to correct. At the last session two bills passed the Assembly furnishing better safeguards in con- nection with the commitment and care of lunatics. One of these provided, very properly, that no persou or institution should undertake the care of lunatics except when licensed by the State Commissioners of Charities, and thus subjected to their inspection. This bill failed to the Senate. It ‘was very publicly asserted ai ot denied, that the failure of the billin the Senate was due chiefly to the personal efforts at Albany of the chief phy- sicinn of the Bloomingdale Asylum, An aversion thus inanifested to proper super- | vision of the public authorities makes it the more |. important as well to the repute of the Institution itselfas to the public interests that the charges now made should be investigated. I do, there. fore, appoint you & commission for the purpose of investigating these charges, and any others that may be laid before you against this or any other asylum for lunatics, whether under public or pri- vate management, and of visiting and inspect- ing the several asylums, with or without charges being made against them, with a view to discover- ing abuses wherever they exist, requesting that you report the result of your inquiries to me as soon as ossible. The duty which I impose upon you is, I now, onerous, At present there is no provision of lawenabling me to hag gos you for your labor or your expenses. feel warranted, how- ever, in assuring you that the Legislature at its next session will not fail to make just and liberal compensation, knowing that the people will have the same confidence that I have in your fitness for this very important trust. I make an earnest re- quest, that out Me varus general good, you cept the duty. e vy, Yours, huncubitg JOHN T. HOFFMAN, Hon. Fraxcrs ©, BaRLow, Attorney General; M. B. ANpsnson, LL.D., President of the Rochester University, and Taomas Hon, M. Albany. THE CITY'S VALUABLE RECORDS. When Mr. Shannon, the present Clerk of the Board of Aldermen, resumed his duties last Jan- uary he found the valuable records of the city scat- tered about in various drawers and boxes, where there was no protection against fire or water. He at once saw that in the event of a fire occurring net only the printed and written records of the municipal government of modern times out the old Dutch records and translations would be seriously impertiied. He caused four large safes to be cleaned out and deposited in the southeast corner of the City Hall, into which all these records were transierred. The work of collecting and We. positing them was completed this week, and they are so ClassHied that any document can be found, whenever it is required, in a few minutes’ search. SOUTH CAROLINA. Another Stormy Session of the Re- publican State Convention. Unable to Complete the Nomi- nations. ‘Pistols Drawn and the Convention Ad- Journed to Avoid Bloodshed. CoLumara, 3. C., August 23, 1872. The regular Republican State Convention was in session to-day at the State House, endeavoring to complete their nominations. After Moses had been nominated for Governor and the retiring of the bolters it was thought that ali the discordant elements were disposed of and the remain- ing nominations could be completed without | trouble, but this was a mistake. R. H. | Greaves, a@ colored man from Beaufort, was nominated for Lieutenant Governor; H. E. Hogon, colored State Senator, was nominated tor Secretary of State, and S. W. Meiton for Attorney General. Up to this time the deliberations of the body had been tomparatively orderly fur # South | Carolina Republican Convention, but upon entering | upon the nomination for State Treasurer incipient | symptoms of a row began to appear, which | afterwards developed into a first class riotous { demonstration, First a letter was read from Niles | G, Parker, the present State Treasurer, declining a renomination, F. L. Cardozo, the present colored Secretary of State, was placed in nomination for the position, and he being | the Moses candidate evidently created the | disturbance. It seems there was considerable | opposition to him among the colored delegates, and under the partial ruling of Congressman Elliott, the Chairman, and Cardozo's position they grew restive first, then excited and then violently turbu- lent. For four long hours the Convention was engaged in crimination and recrimination, CHARGES OF FRAUD and counter charges being hurled from one faction | to the other, and finally, at about eight o'clock, a | row, which at one ‘ime threatened to drench the Senate chamber with blood, took place, John Mobley, & somewhat renowned colored refngee trom the Ku Klux section of the State, endeavored to obtain the floor, and for over an hour yelled at the chair. Elliott would not recognize him, and Mobley, determined to speak anyhow, SHOUTED TORRENTS OF ABUSE at Elliott, who, to drown Mobley’s voice, rapped | with the gavel continuously and so forcibly that Mobley could scarcely be heard. Mobley then be- came fearfully exasperated, and seizing a large cut glass inkstand from the reporters’ desk began to pound the table with it, to prevent the call of the roll of the delegates. The excitement, din and con- fusion became fearful, and in this dliemma THE SERGEANT-AT-ARMS WAS CALLED upon to enforce order, That functionary ap- proached Mobley, who at once showed fight, and | [aA apy sundry ugly-looking revolvers, which had the effect of causing the sergeunt-at-arms to retire, Maxwell, another colored delegate, also drew his six-shooter, and swore that if Mobley was arrested would be ACROSS HIS DEAD BODY. Members and spectators were upon their feet, and the scene beggared description. In the small space around the reporters’ table, not less than twenty shooting-irons quickly mae their appear- | ance, ready to chime in if the ball was once | opened, and [noticed some kuights of the quill | standing with their pistols prepared for any emer- gency. All this time Mobley continued to pound the table with the inksiand. Chairs were vraised over the shoulders of members ready to strike, and a general riot being unpleasantiy immi- nent, the timid rural delegates rushed from the hall, At this juncture the Convention was de- clared adjourned till to-morrow, and in all proda- bilgy bloodshed was thereby averted. THE BOLTERS’ CONVENTION. nea Cotuaata, S. C., August 25, 1872, Agreeably to the call issued last night, and pub- lished in the papers here of this morning, over the signature of James L. Orr, the bolting members of the Republican State Convention met to-day in the Couty Court House, and temporarily organized by calling Orr to the chair. Prominent among the bolters were United States Sena- tor Sawyer. United Sttcs District Attorney Corbin, G. W. Clark, Collector of the Port of Charleston ; Postmaster Trott and Reuben Tomiin- son, of the same city. About fifty negro delegates were present, and from the very first the move- ment stamped itself as formidable, both in strength, character and intelligence, and in having for its aim reformation in the State government and the overthrow of the corrupt ring that governed the nominations at the State House. Upon taking the chair Judge Orr said that this Convention had been called to nominate a ticket in opposition to that nominated last night. He wished it to be under- ; stood that the organization which this nomination contemplated was to be exclusively republican, and he did not propose to conciliate or buy up or coalesce with either democrats or Greeleyites. It ‘was that party that defeated the reform movement of 1870, Reform was necessary—more so now than ever—but it -may be accomplished | in the republican party. If the democrats and so- called liberal republicans needed reform they would have to come to the republican party, for the party would not goto them. By a rough calculation he did not think that the corruptionists and bought, men of the republican partyin the State numbered | more than two thousand, and deducting these from the republican strength, there was still left the round number of 88,000 uncontaminated and true and honest republicans in South Carolina. He considered the duty of these to overthrew the corrupt ring which iad «= brought «disgrace upon the Bee, and ruin fe od the State. He then reviewed in detail the con dye ed of the public in- | stitutions of the State, making the startling an- nouncement that the lunatics in the insane asylum and the convicts in the penitentiaries would now starve, and would have had to be | turned loose but for the individual credit | of their respective superintendents. The public schools organized by Reuben Tomlinson were closed for want of funds. Not asataried oMcer of | the government had been paid a cent for five months, and he himself had been forced to borrow money to pay the necessary expenses incurred in holding the sessions o! the courts in his judicial cir- cuit; yet, in the face of all this, over a million dollars in taxes had been collected, and where was it? Echo answered where. he could tell them that while in Philadelphia, at the convention which nominated General Grant and Henry Wilson, he was asked by re- ublicans every strect corner to “go home, for God's sake, and “get = rid’ of the fraud and corruption in State government, for it was a load too heavy for | the republican party to carry in the Presidential canvass, and heavier than all the other national causes combined. The reputation of 80,000 repub- licans was at stake, and for the honor and | integrity of the ys he appealed to this Convention to get rid of the corruptionists and jet the nation see what they could do with others. He had withdrawn from the Republican Convention because he could not-supporteFrauklin J. Moses on ant of his record. He passed in eer the frands of the State gov- ernment, denoun F. J. Moses bitterly. Bx Congressman Bowen and others followed, pledging their counties to 6 an honest ticket. District Attorney IN declared that he knew the charges made against ben Tomlinson im the State Convention were false. | sured the Convention that Senator SAWYER President Grant earnestly desired a Le mi reform in South Carolina, and that the heat pulse of the entire national administration beat in sympathy with the movement. ORISPINS OF CINCINNATI ON A STRIKE. CINCINNATI, Oblo, August 23, 1872. The Knights of St. Crispin, to the number of 600, are on a@ strike, the ground of complaint being partly on account of the enforcement of the rule by manufacturers of refusing to employ strikers from other factories, and partly on account of the manu- facwurers violating the rule of the St. Crispins, which forbids the taking of apprentices not Knignts of St. Crispin.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August 23, 1872. The delegates to the Labor Reform Convention of the State of Pennsylvania, after the general Con- vention yesterday, met to take action in reference to State affairs. Twenty-three counties were rep- | resented. John Heckle, who called the meeting | to order, spoke in high terms of the labor reform candidate for Governor, William P. Schell, and hoped the workingmen throughout the State would do their utmost in securing his election and the entire ticket nomimated, He severely de- nounced the candidate of the democratic party, Charles Buekalew, whom he claimed was of aristo- cratic ideas, an enemy of the workingmen and was antagonistic to the Eight-Hour law, Resolutions endorsing Schell ahd denouncing Buckalew and the- platform of the Convention which nominated him, and also that an address | be issued to the workingmen of the State, were adopted, A committee was appointed to prerare | the address, and the meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the chair, It is said that a conference was held in this city to-day which makes it possible that a coalition between ‘the regular labor reformers and the trades unionists will be eifected, upon the basis that if the Louisville Conveution deciares itself in favor of the labor reform prin- ciples labor reformers and labor reform trades union men will support their ticket. Labor re. formers regard this as a& most important move- ment, for it adds undisputed strength to the already existing forces of the regular labor reformers in Pennsylvania. Aimost every county will have a labor reform ucket in the tieldy ILLINOIS, Another Appeal to “Straight-Out” Demo- crats—A Convention Proposed for Thurs- day Next. CHICAGO, August 23, 1872, A call is issued, signed by Joseph Ledite, Spring- field, LL, for a Convention of democrats who are in favor of straight democratic nominations for President and Vice President to meet in that city on Thursday, August 29, to select delegates to the | Louisville Convention, NEW JERSEY STRAIGHT-OUTS, TRENTON, N.

Lone Wolf at the Peace CouncileHe Only Asks the Liberation of Santanta and Big Tree and the Restoration of His Territory trom the Rio Grande to Mis- sourt. CuIcago, Ill, August 23, 1872, A special correspondent, writing from Cheyenne _and the Arapahoe Agency under date of August 9, gives an account of the proceedings of the so- called Peace Council being held there with the Kiowas and other hostile Indians, So far these proceedings appear to be a failure, the Kiowas being evidently disposed to make this pretence of friendship in order to secure the release of their chicis, Santanta aud Lig Tree, who are now confined 5 iil chief of the Kiow:f&, made a ce Ng to Colonel Mcintosh, who had the Indians the absolute necessity, if they desired to iree their chiefs, of living at peace with the whites, saying that, he was ready to do all that was asked of him, but he must first have the soldiers removed, and until this was done the Kiowas would make no change in their way of liv- “a He concluded as follows :—“I have listened to What the council has told me and I believe the talk is straight, and the Peace Cap- tains who have talked to me can, perhap: make things satisfactory in Washington.

Tabby said—We want a good man as trader, with large supplies of goods; also, a good man as agent; | no agent has acted right with us.

Yesterday morning Prince Auguat Coburg and his brotner, Prince Philip, rose early to go om board the Jease Hoyt for Long Branch. The object | of their visit to tuis fashionable sea-side resor! was to pay their respecta to President Giant. The royal visitors were found at breaktast by his Uxcel- At nine o'clock the party entered a carriage and reached the Long Branch steamer within twenty minutes. The pro- posed visit to the President was intended to be merely private and unofficial. “THE GREAT ADMIRAL,” which {sa favorite sobriquet in Rio Janeiro for Prince Augustus, with his larger frame, blonde beard, biue eyes and decided features, caused no little stir among the Jady passengers on the steamer, and many were the sidelong glances thrown at the brothers as the vessel glided down | the Hudson, on its way to Sandy Hook, To the | Admiral, from study of charts, the whole bay, wi its soundings, was famillar, but nevertheless, as Staten Island, the Indian’s “Acquchong,” passed, he could not refrain time and again from commenting on its wondrous beauty, At last the Narrows were reached, with their frowning fort- resses on either hand. The Princes were greatly interested in the description OF THE QUARANTINE ARRANGEMENTS, which was given by ex-Mayor Kalbfleisch, who ex: | plained the steps he had taken, with others, in causing the construction of the West Bank Hosp tal in the Lower Bay, and dilated also on the use of the hospital receiving ships Albany and Delawar and the hulk moored for the residence of the Deputy Health OMicer. The ex-Mayor, in speaking | about municipal reform, said that nowadays, when | people can get a biacksmith, a tailor, a liquor dealer and a minister, with a few other choice spirits, ee getuparing. Prince Augustus taiked also with Mr. Kalbfeisch about his Dutch birtiplace at Flushing, which he Knew well, an@ about travel- ling by canal boats in Holland between Nieuw Dieppe and many Flemish towns of unpronouuce- able names, Approaching Sandy Hook, the magnificent Span- ish ram Numancia was seen shaking out, her sails and looking none the worse for Thursday's gale, which had blown down at the Hook with tropical violence. Leaving the Jesse Hoyt, the party entered the cars, and they found the journey to Long Branch short, admiring the natural beauties of the Shrewsbury Inlet on the one hand, and on the other the boundless ocean. THE ARRIVAL AT LONG BRANCH. Carriages were obtained for the royal party, into the first of which entered the Princes with the Bra- zilian Minister. The first visit paid was to the cot- tage of Admiral Porter; but he was out, and cou- sequently could not extend the welcome hand of friendship to the young Braziiian Admiral and his brother. Afew moments later they found them- selves at the elegant cottage of THE HERO OF APPOMATTOX. The President appeared on the stoop as soon as he had received the card of the Brazilian Minister, and invited the party to his reception room, the windows of which look over the broad Atlantic, The introduction was not formal, and soon the whole party were thoroughly at their ease, chat- ting as if they had known each other for years. Prince “pole talked with Lieutenant Grant about his long and interesting European trip and of his friend, General Sherman, of whom he had heard so much, The Lieutenant warmed with enthusiasm when he spoke of the various interesting scenes and places he had visited i the Old World, and the Prince in his turn proved that he knew intimately many of the places described, Mrs. Grant, in a graceful manner and with mnci conversational ability, talked over Washington matters with the Brazitian Minister, who is a great favorite there. THE PRESIDENT AND THR ADMIRAL. On asofa, under a magnificent painting of Gen- eral Sherman, on his march to the sea, which is faced on the other side by a handsome portrait of Lieutenant Grant, sat the Admiral and the Presi- dent. Now and again the young man gazed at the resolute features and thoughtful countenance of the hero of so many well-fought battles in the re- | | cent war, -and a casual observer might fancy that the younger man was stuily- ing ress the memory of that face in his mental portrait gallery. The conversation between them was long and interesting, and turned princl- pally on matters of travel and suggestions for the distinguished tourists, who have now begun tueir trip around the world. The Admiral evidently was much interested ‘in the practical nature of the con- versation, and appeared grateful for the proffered information, In the room sat the venerable Mr. Dent, the father of the President's wife, likewise the Rev. Mr. Newman, ge pest of the Senate, and wife. The President Invited his visitors to dine with him in the evening upon his return from the Ocean Grove camp-meeting. ‘The Princes declined, with much regret, stating that they were going on by the next train to Wash- ington, and after a cordial leavetaking the party withdrew. This visit, although without political importance, and merely of a personal character, is somewhat historical, being the first visit of any of the members of the Brazilian royal family to these shores, and consequently, also, the first time that @ President of this country has had any personal intercourse with its imperial representatives. The royal visitors then returned in their carriage to the Ocean Hotel. They strolled down to the | beach, and were greatly amused by the antics of | the bathers, Alter a somewhat protracted walk they left the beach and came up to the Surf House, kept bv a quaint German philosopher and lover of nature, named Herr Rosenburg, where the party drank a lew glasses of lager. A VISIT FROM LIEUTENANT GRANT. Lieutenant Grant, who happened to be riding by in his carriage, espied the group, and his arrival was made the occasion of fresh lagers. The Lieu- tenant said, “If it wonla give you any pleasure, gentlemen, I wiM ask my father to give you a letter of introduction to General Sheridan at Chicago, and he will put you in the way of getting all the buralo shooting you want.” Prince AueusTus—Is there much excitement in buffalo emery. y Lieutenant Grant—In my opinion it is no more than shooting a cow. If you want good shooting I can get you plenty in Texas, where I'm stationed. As to the Indians on the Pacitic Railroad, you need fod na no alarm for the Pawnees or y other tribe. Lientenant Grantthen gave some practical a yice to the brothers as to the best arms to be used in buffalo hunting, and then took his leave. Subsequently the peeyauned at the Ocean Hotel, | and drove around Long Branch and took the train | for Washington at six o'clock, at which place they | would arrive at five A. M. this morning.
