The returns considered reliable trom oighty-five counties, received by the Republican State Committee show a majority of 3,463 for Hayes. The counties of Wood, Varroll and Delaware are yet to be heard from, and are ordinarily considered republican counties, but Wood has gone democratic this year, and it is thought the democratic gain there will neutralize the republican gains in Delaware and Carroll counties so as to make the majority for Hayes substantially as above, The democrats concede the House of Representatives to the republicans by a good majority, but claim the elec- tion of one Senator in the Toledo district, which gives them the Senate by one majority, A DEMOCRATIC EXPLANATION.

The returns indicate that the democracy polled a vote 30,000 larger than was ever cast for any man elected Oovernor of Ohio. Our defeat was the result of the most lavish expenditure of money which has ever characterized the political contest, the colonization of fraudulent votes and the introduction of the false issue ‘on the public schools, which excited the prejudice and bigotry of religious hate.

THE NEW ORLEANS COTTON EXCHANGE-+-NA- TIONAL COTTON CROP REPORT—REPORTS ¥YROM THE VARIOUS EXCHANGES OF THE NATION, New Orieans, Oct, 14, 1876. The Committee on Information and Statistics of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, to whom had been in- trusted the duty of compiling a national cotton crop re- Port made up from returns of the various exchanges appointed therefore by the National Cotton Exchange of America, submit the following for September :— New Onvxans Darartunnt.—New Orleans Cotton Exchange, covering that part of Mississippi not appor- tioned to Memphis and Mobile Cotton Exchanges; the entire State of Louisiana, the State of Arkansas south of Arkansas River, Louisiana, Sixty-two replies trom thirty-one parishes, average date October 1, report the character of the weather as universally unfavorable, Heavy storms of wind and rain have materially damaged the prospect, say» twenty-five per cent, by beating out open cotton and Interfering with the picking, which bad not fully comment throughout the State on September L ‘Notwithstand- tng the serious damage already done, causing consider- blo discouragement and an unprecedented amount of sickness among the laborers, with tavorable weather henceforth, the yield as reported will be but little less than last season. ARKANSAS —We havo received thirty-one answers from twenty-two counties. The weather is reported by some as windy and rainy, while others stato that it has been quite dry. On the whole it bas been moderately favorable. Complaints reach us of damage done by rot and rust, principally the latter, the extent of which it is difficult to correctly estimate, but the aggregate loss does not exceed eight to ten per cent, About the 8th of September picking had become general, but was not progressing as ropldly’ as desired, owing to sickness in certain counties and heavy rains in others, Nearly all our correspondents agree in saying that, with frost at the same time as last year, the yield will be much greater, Missrssirri.—Seventy-three replies received from this Stato, the average date being the Ist inst.; the weather was almost universally reported as cold, wet and stormy, causing serious damage to the crop, estimated at twenty percent, The damage was most by rot and Tust, the storms having injured the quality, while not materially lessening the quantity. The picking was general in the first week in September, but is progress- ing slowly, owing to wet weather and’ an anusual pres: ence of sickness among the laborers, The yield, as compared with last year, with frost in time, according to our correspondents,’ will barely reach ‘that of last season. Nasivitts Dsrartwent.—Nashville Cotton Ex- change, covering Middle Tennessee east of Tennessee River and the following counties of Alabama:—Lauder- dale, Franklin, Colbert, Lawrence, Morgan, Lime- stone, Madison, Marshall, Jackson, De Kalb and Cherokee, In’ Middle ‘Tennessee generally tho weather has been favorable, but —_ rather too cool and too much rain,” In Alabama there was too much rain, which, however, was not very damaging until the great storm of September 1 when the country was drowned by a tremendous fal of rain, which submerged the low grounds and beat out open cotton. Since then there have beon too many rains and much cvol weather. In Tennessee the damage has been slight. In a few cases damages by rain are reported staining and dirtying the cotton, In Alabama much damage has been done by storms and by rust, Our correspondents do not give us many figures on the subject, but we estimate from what we have that the crop has been damaged at least ten per cent by the weather since August 20, and particularly by tho great storm. The damoge was greatest in the low lands, which were submerged by rainfall In TenNxsses picking commenced about September 20, in Alabama about September 10, although in neither State did it begin fully before September 20. It is pro- gressing slowly everywhere, owing mainly to wet Weather; with frost at the same time as last year the yield in Tennessee will be about the samé, Tho acreage is somewhat reduced, but the yield per acre is increased this year, In Alabama the acreage is about ten per cent less. The crop in both States in this department is greatly dependent upon the weather for the next five or six weeks. If there is a fair season and a late frost the crop will be above the average. With an early kill- ing frost it will fall twenty-tive per cent below. The crop is about two weeks later than usual, and picking has progressed very slowly upto this date owing to wet weather, while the amount of labor in the river counties of Alabama has been curtailed by a great amount of sickness prevailing at this time. CuarLeston Dsrartuent.—Tho Charleston Cotton Exchange, covering the State of South Carolina, has sixty-five answers from twenty-six counties, generally dated on or about the 1st inst. The weather is reported by nearly one-half of our correspondents as being dry and favorable, while the remainder report dry, followed by wet weather, heavy rains, cool temperature, and in ono case light frost. Thirteen report no damage to the crop from rust, rot or storms, while all the rest report injury, chietly from blight or rust, an.ounting in many instances from one-fourth to one-third of the crop. Picking began generally from the 24th of August to the 10th of September, and 18 commonly reported as progressing very rapidly, even more so than last year. Many report the crop as being already gathered to the extent of half to three-quarters, and as being freely sent to market. With frost at the usual time, the prospec- tive yield indicates a falling off in comparison with last year of nineteen and three-quarters per cent, A few correspondents state the yield of tint as less than usual to the same amount of seed cotton, which is attributed to the severe drought in July. SAVANNAH DEPARTMENT. wannah Cotton Exchange, covering Northern, Middle and Southwestern Georgia and the State of Forida. No reports received. AvGuUSTA STATEMENT, covering that portion of Georgia not included m the Savannah Department, GxonGia.—The weather is generally reported as hay- ing been very dry and hot up to about September 15 and thereafter to October 1; cool, cloudy and rainy, with an excessive rainfall in a few locations, and in many localities serious damage is reported by rust, very little by rot, and three to five por cent by storms.” The rains prevalent during the last few days of September are reported to have impaired the quality of the crop— oth in grade and staple. Picking commenced in a few counties as early as August 20, but did not become general until about September 5. The hot weather of the preceding three weeks having forced open much cotton rapid progress was made until the middle of Sep- tember, since which time rainy weather has interfered materially with tho picking. ‘The tenor of a great majority of our replies indicates that a killing frost at the same time as last year cannot materially affect the yield now in view, and which is almost unanimously estimated at less 'than last year. It may possibly be reduced by about tive per cent, The majority of our correspondents express the conviction that the yield of this territory will not reach that of last year by from fifteen to twenty per cent, while many speak of from twenty-five to thirty per cent, The largest portion of the crop 18 now open and ready for picking, and tn some few counties from one-half to two-thirds of the crop is reported ag already picked. ‘The movement to market is generally reported as having been prompt thus far, Monte Derartaxnt.—The Mobile Cotton Exchange covers the State of Alabama as far north as the summit of Land Mountain and the lollowing counties in Missis- sippi:—Wayno, Clark, Jasper, Lauderdale, Newton, Kemper, Neshoba, 'Noxubec, Winshon,’ Lowndes, Okhibbsha, Colfax, Monroe, Chickasaw,’ Stawamba, Lee, Pantotog, Prentiss, Alcorn and Tishomingo. ALAnama.—Fifty-five letters from thirty-one coun- ties have been received. In eight counties the weather is reported as having been favorable, in eleven not favorable, in three dry and in nine wet and rainy. Vory considerable damage has generally throughout the State from rust, and in some the recent severe rains and storms bave done serious injury by scattering the cotton on the ground, greatly damaging the quality, and to some ex- tent interfering with the picking. The damage to tho crops by rain and wind storms is ostimated at from five to filty per cent As an average for the State we would say about twenty-five per cont damage has resulted. Cotton picking commenced in 4 few localities about the 15th of August, but did not become general before the lst of September, In five counties itis progressing siowly, aud in the remainder favorably und rapidly. With frost at the same time as last year in sandy and uplands, thirteen counties report that the yield will be less; eight about the same and in prairie ana lowlands ten dounties state that it will be greater than Inst year Mississiret,—tIn forty-one letters from eighteen coun- ties the weather is reported as having been vory wet and generally unfavorable, The damage to the crop by Trust, rot, rains and storms is reported ‘o be from ten to thirty-three and a half per cont—an avi of about twenty per cent from eighteen counties, Cotton pick- ing commenced from the 1st to the 10th of September, but ts progressing very slowly and unsattsfactorily on account of unusual sickness among the laborers, rainy weather and political disturbances, With frost at the same time as last year, tho yield will be from the same to thirty per cent greater, only three counties, Leo, Lauderdale and Munroe, reporting that it will be tess, Slight frosts have occurred in Alcorn and Chickasaw counties; but no damage has re Sulted except to prevent the opening of the bolls to some extent. The recent heavy raing have greatly m- Jured the quality of the open cotton, Memrims = Derartaent—Wkst Tennessee, —Thirty- eight responses report the weather warm and dry; twenty-one, clear, dry and cold, with occasional showers; nine, wot and cold and damaged by rust, rot and storms three per cent. Picking commenced at the average date of September 16, and is generally pro- gressing slowly owing to sickness and the slow Opening. With killing frosts as late as last ear the yield will average twenty-one per cent better. [abot ta welt disposed. Twonty-seven counties report frost from the 10th to the 80th of September, but no damage resulted, NORTH MISSISSIPPI, Forty-six responses have been received. The crop was damaged by rot, rust and storms fourteen per cent ‘The picking commenced onan average on September 13, and is generally progressing very slowly, owing to ex- cessive sickness, political disturbances and a slow open- ing.

PREPARING FOR THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION ON THE 257H—THE CALL OF THE RICHMOND CONVENTION INDORSED BY MICHIGAN—EX- TRACT FROM THE LETTER OF SENATOR CHERIS- ‘TIANCY. Durnorr, Mich., Oct, 14, 1875. The Hard Money Convention was held here to-day. No effort was made to procure a large attendance, and invitations wore only sent to prominent liberal republ- cans, a number of whom were present, and others, unable to attend, wrote letters sympathizing with the object of the Convention. Among those who wrote were Senator Christiancy, Congressman Durand, ex- Governor Blair and ex-Congressman Charles 8, May, Addrosses were delivered vy Messrs. Frederick A. Baker and fugene Prindle, Ten delegates, prominent men from different quarters of the State, were selected to attend the National Hard Money Convention, called to meet at Cincinnati October 25. Resolutions were adopted reciting the objects of that Proposed Convention, as expressed in the call emanat- ing from the Richmond Convention last spring, and then going on to declare that, discarding party fecling and believing that foreign and domestic industry must languish under a currency depreciated and fluctuating in value and a revenue system which is unequal in ite burdens, they responded to the Richmond call. Second—That we inflexibly set our faces against all schemes for currency inflation, or any form of paper currency, ‘‘greenbacks” or otherwise, a3 long as that currency shall consist of irredeemable promises to pay money, and we will oppose any policy which has not a direct purpose to establish the currency on a par with and actually interconvertible with coin, Lastly, the resolutions commend to the people of the United States the proposed Convention at Cincinnati, and urge the general appointment of delegates to it. The letter of Senator Christiancy is quite lengthy. ‘Tho following extract indicates the leading ideas;— The evils of a depreciated and depreciating currency, which, while it continues irredeomable and without any certain expectation of redemption, and yet circulates as a substitute for money, tends to drive and keep silver and gold out of circulation and out of the country; to confuse all just ideas of real values; to create fictitious prices, and to render all business calculation unreliable, thus preventing the investment of capital in business enterprises, and producing universal stagnation of business, while the capital of the country, and an ample amount of such currency as wo have, is locked up for want of confidence, and much of the productive in- dustry of the country thereby reduced to idleness and the laborer to poverty and want. The evils are not overstated in your circular and cannot easily be overestimated, but if it be possible to overstate those evils, language is hardly adequate to condemn with suflicient severity the folly, the absurd- ity, the reckless and wicked use of the scheme, setting aside the common sense of mankind and the teachings of history with an air of seriousness, which, if the scheme had not actually been put forth as a basis of party and political action, would naturally be undor- stood as a clever achievement of grave and solemn wrong, actually purposes to remedy the evils of this depreciated currency, by issuing more and still more of it; and though its present depreciation is owing only to the fact that no definite provision is yet made for its redemption in gold and silver and sich redemption cannot be relied on at any early or definite period, yet according to this scheme all idea of such redemption is to be at once practically and forever abandoned. ‘This currency is asserted to be better than gold, and it is to become the exclusive medium of exchange and measure of value, and to be made a legal tender for all debts and duties to the government, as well as be- tween individuals; and in connection with and as an essential part of this scheme, and vaunted by its friends a8 a self-adjusting apparatus, regulating or balancing contraction or expansion, and eerenay fluctuation and panics, this currency is to be redeem- able at the option of the holder in bonds drawing 3.65 Per cent interest, and this again at the like option re- convertible into’ greenbacks. All this, it is true, is not specifically expressed as yet in any party Platform; but it is what is to be understood as Involved in these platforms, as expounded by the most eminent advo- cates of those party platforins and other supporters of the policy of inflation, LAWLESSNESS IN MISSISSIPPL Mxarnis, Tonn., Oct, 14, 1875, Acommittee, composed equally of white and colored citizens of Coahoma county, Mississippi, have issued a circular invoking the efforts of all good citizens of the county in behaif of peace and to protect private property of the people from the incendiary’s torch. It charges the colored Shenif Brown with having sought to rouse tho colored people to lawless acts, by declaring to them in his harangues that’ while the gin- houses are the property of the whites the torch is the remedy for grievances in the hands of colored men, It appears that Colonel Stovill’s steam ginhouse was burned by incendiaries a few weeks ago. On the night of the 10th inst. his stable and thirteen mules wero burned and an attempt was made to burn his dwelling. Tho circular urges well disposed citizens to organize for common protection against incendiaries and nightly patrol the plantations. 1t is signed by nine colored men, and among the signatures of the white men are United States Senator Alcorn and Rey, R.

New Orxeans, Oct. 14, 1875. The following telegram was received this afternoon from Baton Rouge:— Governor ©, ©.

HENRY SCHORTEN, Mayor. The following is the Associated Press report received atoight P. M.:— Cunton, Oct. 14, 1875, On the evening of the 11th Mr. Sanders, of this plac was poisoned witn a solution of arsenic in a dipper o water, administered by one Catherine Matthews, sister. in-law of John Gair, When arrested she confessed her guilt and said John Gair and Robert Ray instigated her to the act. The Deputy Sherit! and posse arrested John Gair at Baton Rouge, under a warrant, and started to bring him to Clinton, About night they were met by a body of fifty or more armed men, who took from the Deputy and his posse their arms, took possession of Gair and sent the posse on to Clinton. It is said that Gair was killed by the men who took him from the Dep- uty Sheriff and the same body of men, or others, camo into town and hung the woman. It is the opinion of the entire community that the poisoning was done by the woman, and Gair and Ray instigated her to the act. A spectal to the from Clinton says:—‘‘The sere in charge of Gair while conducting him from ton Rouge to Clinton were overpowered last night eleven miles from the latter place by seventy armed and masked men, their arms taken from them and Gair, the party who had Dr. J.

In speaking of the manner in which the poor and criminal classes are per- mitted and forced to live in our large cities Mr. Gough drew a harrowing picture of the slums of the metropolis, where children were brought up in ith, destitution and ignorance, never breathing anything but pollution, and this was one of the greatest blunders of modern society which allowed sach bad training that had to re- sult tinally in overflowing almshouses and prisons. De- scending to the ridiculous from the pathetic Mr. Gough favored his jee with some very exaggerated stories of Irish bulls, and mimicked an Lrish gentleman whom he had met. The frand and treachery and dishon- esty and trickery among American politicians were next alluded to by the lecturer, who said that the fault was in the blundering of the electors who did not do their duty by the country. Mr. Gough also spoke of the biunders tn literature and in advertising, a8 well as the blundering of the nation in allowing $800,000,000 to be expended by tts citizens in the hellish rum trac, He said it would be a treasonable blunder, and most terrible of all, of the United Sta at the bidding of corrupt politt- clans, who would sell themsaclves for office, or at tho command of any priesthood, permit their noble common chool system to be abrogated and the sacred Sorip- ‘ures trampled in the dust | | should the people | SHEET.

During Wednesday night, while the politicians were busily engaged in making nominations, the following Placard was posted up in all parts of the city. Before ten A.

Another large and attentive audience assembled last night at Booth’s Theatre to witness the performance of the opera of “Faust” by the Kellogg troupe, With so important a work on the stage it was quite evident .that an unusually fine effort was to be made by the artists whose names appeared in tho cast, and it is scarcely necessary to add that they, one and all, achieved a genuine and well deserved success, The mounting of the opera was @ great improvement on that of ‘The Bohemian Girl,” given the previous evening, and the choristers made an effective appearance in dresses that were well chosen and arranged. ‘Miss Kellogg was the Marguerite, and, despite the fact that she had sung the previous’ evening, her voice was in excellent condition. Acting with more than usual care, and avoiding a propensity to indulge in by- play, the lady, though evidently sure of her audience, was highly successful in presenting a charming ideal of Goethe’s heroine. In the garden scene and atthe death of Valentine the beauty and compass of Miss Kellogg’s vocal powers were shown in all their brilliance, Mr. Maas as Faust was clear and conscien- tious, and he sang well his allotted scores. Indeed, this artist improves on acquaintance, for he’ pos. sosses the faculty of reserving bis force and thus maintains his part with honor. Mr. Cariton made an effective Valentine, and sang with much feeling. Mr. Peakes, as Mephisto, was suf- ficiently demoniacal to satisfy anybody, and shared in the honors of the evening, While Mrs. Seguin was as careful and painstaking as ever inthe part of Siebel. The performance was not concluded until after mid- wan, yet very few persons left the theatre before the close, This evening “The Huguenots” will be given, with Mme. Jennie Van Zandt for the first time as Valentine and introducing Miss Annic Montague as the Queen, The young lady makes hor début in this difficult réte, and the event will be watched with interest by a large circle of friends in society. THE SWEDISH ARCTIC EXPEDITION. News has lately been received from Professor Nor denskidld and the members of his expedition. From letters which have been published in the Swedish papers it is shown that the vessel engaged in the expedition anchored off the western coast of Nova Zembla on the 22d of last June, From there they sailed in a north- erly direction as far as the Straits of Matoschkin, but, being unable to pass through it on account of the ice, they returned south and made a futile attempt, on the 25th of July, to force a passage through the Straits of Carie, which were also blocked by floating ice. They at last succeeded in finding a passage through the Straits of Jugow, in the Sea of Carie, which was almost entirely open. When their letters were despatched they purposed sailing into the White Sea, where two of the savans attached intended to remain while the ship continued her voyage to the northeast. Later, Professor Nordenskidld resolved to ascend the Gulf of Obi or Jenisei boat, and the ship started with the intention of returning about the middle of September. ‘The expedition has made a series of most interestin, observations on the zoology, botany and geology these remote regions.

The Independent and Taxpayers’ Reform Association of Brooklyn met last night in the Assembly Rooms of the Academy of Music, ex-Alderman J. A. Van Brunt in the chair, There was a small attendance. The com- mittee appointed to inform Mr. E. T. Backhouse of his nomination for Mayor reported that he wanted further time to consider the matter, Colonel A. ©. Davis, chairman of the committee, appointed to confer with other organizations, reported that they had invited the republicans, but the latter declined to have anything to do with them. He thought if they had organized earlier in the campaign that they could have controlled all the repub- lican nominations. Messrs. Harman and Hutch- inson, who had — received the republican nomination for Commissioners of Charities, Colonel Davis said, were members of the Association. Ad- dresses were made by Harvey Farrington, Joseph Reeves, Thomas Painter and ex-Mayor Samuel Booth. They advocated the forming of a permanent organiza- tion.
