Returns from a majority of the counties in the State | show that, in the election which has just been held for | the entire House of Delogates and half the members of | body has been changed, by the choice of four republi- | cans from districts previously represented by conserva- tives. The last General Assembly stood as follows:— Senate, conservatives, 83; republicans, 9 House, conservatives, 102; republicans, 31, The election on Tuesday increases the, republican representation | in the House to thirty-five; but it is claimed by con- | Servatives that there are a sufficient number of Repre- sentatives of their party elected from districts pre- viously republican to offset that increase and leave the complexion of the House as it stood last year, The features of Tuesday's election in this State, however, were the election of quite a number of independent conservatives and the heated and close contests that class of candidates made, both in the districts in which they were successiul and those in which they were de- feated, These successos and contests are especially sig- hiticant from the fact that the independents were in | every instance supported by a small body of disaffected conservatives and the bulk or solid vote of the negroes, DISRUPTION OF PARTIKS. Here in Richmond a spirited and bitter fight was made by an independent Senatorial ticket, which had | noarly the tull support of the negroes, bul the ticket | was defeated by the regular conservative nominees.

Stuart, once Seeretary | of the Interior, who had not only declined to run as in- | dependent, but had declared “he would not serve if elect as such, was nevertheless put in | the field and elected to the House, receiving | nearly the full negro vote of the county. From these | indications 14 is clear that both parties are in a_ state of | disruption, and that the race or color line is effectually broken in Virginia, These -igns are, if anything, moro apparent in the conservative ranks than among the re- publican; but, from the present demoralized condition | of both organizations, there will evidently be a breaking | up Of parties in this State and an entire new deal before the Presidential election in 1376.

GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN SPEAKS, | IN RESPONSE TO A BERENADE IN CHARLESTON | HE GIVES HIS POLITICAL CREED--INFLUENCE OF THE CENTENNIAL. CHaRLestoy, S. C., Nov. 4, 1875. Governor Chamberlain, who arrived here this morn- ing, being his first visit to Charleston since his election, was serenaded to-night and delivered an adaress to a large audience, He declared that he holds his office as a public trust, and said:— It is not power or office merely which a party should seek; but power and office must be sought as the | means and opportunity of increasing the purity, the erficiency and the beneficence of the government. Here, | as elsewhere throughout onr country, men are moro and more subordinating party’ interests to public interests; more and more regarding good | government as an infinitely better thing than | party power; more and more perceiving that in the jong run that party will provail which keeps most steadily in view the faithful and impartial discharge of | the great functions of government in the interest of the people, The State needs a harmonious working together of both races, which had been largely secured | in Charleston, and that the interests of the two races are identical, He said a recognition of this fact and a complete union of all who do recognize {t 1s the first step in the march of this people toward true and lasting pros- | perity. Following such a union shonld come the de- | termination to test all public men by the invariable | standard of thetr fitness aud capacity to promote tho , public good. Let us have no more of the delusion that public office is valuable for its emoluments, Let us ave no more of the other delusion that measures which promote the interests of party only aro the proper work of our logislators, In the State and the country and. in the city we want a higher standard of public | aimand service. The two great demands of the peoplo | are a reduction of taxation and an honest expenditure of the public money, and the people of South Carolina ought to be and ‘can be relieved of one-third of the taxes they have paid for the last six years.” In conclusion, Governor Chamberlain said :— We do not know or feel, I think, how greatly the hearts of the American people of both sections will be drawn to each other as the great celebration of our national birth comes on. We have caught a little of its influence at Lexington and Bunker Hill, but the full | tide will sweep over us at Philadelphia on’ the Fourth | of July next, Then, let us hope, that, under the full | influences of those feelings which ' bound our fathers of | the South and North to the great cause of Ameri- | can freedom and independence, we may find | it easy to go forward te the completion of their great | work, the accomplishment of their hopes and aims, | the perpetuation for all coming generations of a nation wherein universal and impartial freedom sball show its perfect work, ‘The address was well received and loudly applauded. | To-morrow Governor Chamberlain will be received by | the Chamber of Commerce. VIRGINIA CITY, DEPRESSION AMONG THE SUFFERERS—RELIEF | COMING BUT SLOWLY—MISERLY CONDUCT OF | THE GREAT MINE OWNERS, ax Francisco, Nov. 4, 1875. The excitement and first cbullition of pluck among the Virginia City sufferers at the moment of the fire | induced the thought that the personal wants of the peo- | ple left destitute would be easily met, but the dis- | patches to the Relief Committee to-dav show that the | recent storm, presaging an early winter, has prought | | home to everybody their destitution and helplessness, Unless they are favored with outside aid promptly, | there must be great suffering. Owing to the general | tightness, the whole amount of contribution receiveds | here for Virginia City does not exceed $41,000 in cash and | $12,000 in goods. Virginia City has, of course, received | much assistance from other cities direct. It seems to | astonish everybody that the “Bonanza” kings have | done nothing, personally, for the sufferers. The Con- solidated Virginia and California companies, of which | they have the controlling interest, only contributed | $500 cach, The Consolidated Virginia Mine alone has | paid $1,800,000 dividend per month during the last six jnonths, and yet, as a company, it has only contributed $500 to the burnt city.

THE LATEST MURDER IN PHILADELPHIA—BRUTAL CRUELTY OF THE PERPETRATOR. Puitapeiruia, Nov 4, 1875, jetcher, the man who last night murdered James Hanley, the fireman, under the most unprovoked and brutal circumstances, still awaits the action of the Coroner. He 1s locked up at the Central Police | no sorrow for the horrible deed he has committed, but he is brutal enough to proclaim his joy when told that his victim was dead, This news was kept from him until this afternoon, although he continually | questioned those about him as to whether he bad killed Hanley, always adding that he hoped to bell hoe was dead, shows a cool brutality of disposition that is absolutely sickening. “It’s only a case of STANDING UP TO GET HUNG, damn it all,”” he has suid several times, His wife, who Visited him this morning, was a happy conttast to his tiger-lke ferocity, The poor woman wept bitterly and had the sympathy of ail who saw her, but even her as his wife was had shot his friend. The murderer bears the worst of characters, having been disinissed from the Fire Department eighteen months ago fora brutal and disgusting assault upon young girl, It was the divulging of this crime whi led to his removal and his charge that it was Hanley whom he believed to have infurmed on lim, is:the murderer's only plea in defence of what he has done, He has also been arrested before for cowardly assaults, and for using the coward’s weapon—the knife, THE TRAGEDY. Thero was but one eye witness to the tragedy and ncerued, he was “kind of sorry”? he A, that was Frederick Pinker, a member of the engine | company, Mr. Pinker states that when Fletcher lirst came to the engine house and asked for Hanley the lntier was asleep up stairs; that on being assured by Fletcher that the “old score’? had been amicably settled that very day he consented to call Hanley down stairs, | whieh he did. When Hanley arrived he greeted Fletcher with cordiality and confidence, for he never feared him, al- though attimes he rather suspected that Fletcher's | bitter hatred might break out again, as itdid some time | ago when Fletcher pursued him with a pistol. Fletcher placed bimself on the right side of Hanley and with pretended affection put his left arm on the right shoul- der of the deceased. It was in this position that the fatal shot was tired. Mr. Pinker states that he saw something in Fletcher's right hand, but he did not: know what it was, not being able to seo distinctly on account of the’ darkness. | Fletcher quickly put the pistol under the left breast of his victim and fired, the shot from the pistol at the lime penetrating upward, the ball n> doubt entering the body just under the ribs on the left side, and pass- ing up through the whole length of the chest, After the fatal shot was fired Hanley, with an ex- clamation that he was shot,.staggered back and was caught by amember of the company, who had just come down stairs. Hanley never spoke after the first exclamations he made, and when he was asked who had shot him he could not answer the question. The two men were of about the same age—thirty years—and had long been friends, although Hanley is Spoken ot as being an honest and industrious young man, who was liked by all his associates, quite of a different sort from Fletcher, Fletcher, who is alleged to have been one of a gang of repeaters, met his victiin onelection day and pretonded to be reconciled with him, probably for the purpose of obtaining the oppor- tunity he sought to kill bim, A CENTENNIAL MOVEMENT.

ACCOUNT OF HIS OPERATIONS—SUCCESSFUL COUNTERFEITING. Pmitapenrma, Nov. 4, 1875. Since July last there have been strong suspicions that John Corliss, the “‘shover’’ of ‘‘queer” bonds, was in our vicinity. In June last a Delaware avenue mer- chant was approached by a gentleman who desired to dorrow $1,800 on his note. Upon being asked for collateral he promptly produced five Erie City Water Works bonds of $500 cach. The security was accepted and the money advanced, It was not until recently that he discovered the worthlessness-of the bonds, In July a similar transaction took place and the bor- rower secured $1,500 more, offering the same kind of bonds as collateral, This acceptor thought proper to have the bonds more carefully examined, but they soemed genuine. Still doubting, he sent the securities to Erio, In return he received the announcement that they were fraudulent and that the city authorities had theinselves been swindled to the tune of $10,000. Tho genuine notes were printed from a lithographic stone and were easily counterfeited, Detective Franklin, of Pinkerton’s Agency, being convinced that Corliss | was the operator, took measures to secure him. A search in Baltimore and New York both proved unsue- cessful, cated by another transaction, He negotiated with a Mr. Carborry (@ purchase a ‘right to a patent lamp, Having no ready money he offered his note, secured by three City of Erie water bonds, The bonds were carefully examined, as in former transactions, and pronounced genuino, and the money was forthcoming. An exami- nation by an experienced broker, alter the completion of the transaction, discovered their worthlossnoss. This coming to the cars of Mr. Franklin he sent some of his men to Bridesburg, Corliss’ supposed residence, and ar- rested him in his own house surrounded by his’ family, He 1s now in Moyamensing awaiting trial, Corliss is supposed to have beon the mainspring of the grand scheme “attempted lately in New York,” in the issuing of spurious bonds of the New York Central Railroad, Western Union Telegraph and Erie Railroad. The arrest 18 of tho Highest importance and will no doubt lead to turther developments of the same character. Pe EVENING WEATHER REPORT, Orrick ov THE Curkr SIGNAL Orvicer, Wasntncton, Noy, 4—7:30 P.

MRS, MOULTON'S NAMB DROPPED FROM THE ROLLS OF PLYMOUTH CHURCH, | | The Plymouth scandal was again brought to the sur- face last night. The Plymouth church congregation, represented by fifty-two members, met in the tec- | ture room of the church and adopted a recommenda. | tion made by the Examining Committee of the church | to drop from its rolls the name of Mrs. Emma C. Moul- | ton, wifo of Mr. Frank Moulton, The intention to drop | Mrs. Moulton’s name from the rolls of Plymouth | church appears to have been under debate for come time in the Examining Committee, although the lady received no intimation of the discussion until it was ended. On Wednesday night Mr. D. H. ins, of Plymouth church, called upon and informed her that the Examining Committee of the church had deter- | mined to recommend to the, church that her name be erased from the rolls as that of a continual “t causeless absentee, He told Mrs. Moulton that | be had called at the dosire of the committee | to notify her of its intention in order that she might | be present to state her reasons for absenteeism. Ac- | cordingly Mrs. Moulton repaired to the business meet- | ing of the congregation, She was accompanied by her counsel, General Roger A. Pryor. As has been said be- fore, there were but fifty-two members of the church | present. When the recommendation of the Examin- ing Committee was reported and before action was | tak@h by the church, Genera Pryor arose and read the following letter from MUS, MOULTON IN HER OWN DEFENCE :— Buookiy, No 875.

The French comedy season has proved quite a sue cess at the Lyceum, as last night a large and fashiona ble audience was present at the production of Augics and Poussier’s comedy, entitled “Les Lionnet Pauvres.” The story is very prettily told in five acts, and the authors have made good use of the domesti¢ difficulties of two married couples, where in one in- Stance the husband economized and the wife spent every sou she could raise, and in the other the wife ES up with all kinds of privations while the husband lavished his money on other women, The two wivea were represented by Mesdames Gueymard and Clare! and the different characters could not have been better portrayed. Mme. Gueymard was charming as the “Lionnes Panvres,” always in difficulties and urying to obtain sufficient money to defray her modiste’s bill, and Mme. Clarence 1 great force in the second act when she receives a modiste’s vill that had been sent to her husband and finds that while she has been re« Stricting herself to twenty-five frane hats, be does u hesitate at fifty fran ats for other women, T! passion of the wronged wife on discovering how het Patient economy had been rewarded was very strikingly drawn by Mme. Ciarence. The character of Bordog non, aspecies of man abont town on intimate term with both of the married couples, was very excellently ropresenied by M. Mazieres, a comedian of no ordinary ability. The comedy was Well set and the principal characters strongly supported, so that everything ram smoothly, On Saturday evening acomedy by Augier and Sandean, entitled ‘Le Gendre de Mons. Poirier,” will be produced, ACADEMY OF MUSIC—-ANNUAL BENEFIT OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC ORPHAN ASYLUM, Some of the most distinguished representatives ot the musical and dramatic professions united yesterday ina graceful tribute of esteem and respect toward an institution which has done, and {s still doing, so much for sweet Charity’s sake.

Hall a sonata on the banjo, and Cotton and Birdue were pre-eminent in songa and dauces. Miss Julia Mathews appeared as Kata O'Brien, in “The Maid of Munster,” and Ben Cotton and Brockway told all about ‘The Invaded Studio.” A very clever musical organization, called the Young Apollo Club, sang some choruses, under the direction of Mr. W. F. Wilhams, A sensation song and dance, by members of Tony Pastor's copy, concluded the entertainment. Mr. W. R. Floyd made a very capablo and painstaking manager, and there was nothing to mar either performance inthe matter of change of bill or long waits, Tho artists all volunteered their ser- vices, and the managers of some of the metropolitam theatres assisted in the noble work.
