The Henatp correspondent in Paris re- poris that the presentation of . the testi- monial to Commissioner General McQor- mick by the American exhibitors cat 1 C) Paris Exposition, which took place at -his rooms in the Hotel Windsor on Wednesday, was a brilliant affair. © The exhibitors! of- fered Mr. McCormick their congratulations on the successful result of his labors and the impartial course he had pursued dur- ing the Exhibition. Mr. J. 0. Woods de- livered o complimentary address and pre- | sented the Commissioner General with (wo superb pieces of bronze, purchased for the purpose by the contributors at a cost of 8,008. fae MUTUAL CONGRATULATIONS, Mr. McCormick replied, thanking the ex- hibitors for their kind appreciation’ of his lab@cs, and folicitating them on the’ fact that they so creditably represented Ameri- can industry and ingenuity at the great Exhibition as to secure a larger proportion ot prizes and other honors than the exhib- itors of any other nation. The ceremony terminated with a handsome collation, The leading American residents of Paris have tendered Mr. McCormick a public dinner, which will probably be given at the Con- tinental on the 26th inst. Another Ameri- can award at the Paris Exposition, not hitherto announced per cable, was a gold medal to Lorillard & Co., for manufactured tobacco. TRE FISHERY QUESTION. The. Daily News, in & leading article on the fishery question, concludes as followa:—“We await with interest the publication of Lord Salisbury’s despatch and the statement drawn up by the Canadian govern- ment; but there is no use trying to disguise the fact that Secretary Evarts’ case hax some force init. A right has been bought and, in the natural course of things, will be paid for by the United’ States. Their right of fishing thus ac- quired . accrued about two years before the local law was passed and our Commissioners forgot to reserve to the local Legislatures the right of making Fegulations, We fear that the date fixed by the treaty for the, payment of, the, award, November 28, will be long past before the American government are convinced of the’ crror of their contention. ‘The question is one of legal obligation and it, cannat be too calmly discussed on both sides. A reluctance to inflict a wrong should be at least as strong as a detor- mination not to submit to one.” UNKASY CONDITION OF THE Kast. ‘ “A telegram from Constantinople says Russia is os- tablishing a second line of defence at Adrianople.

The correspondent regards the recall of Count Schouvaloff from London as preliminary to his supplanting Prince Gortschakot¥, and adds that a trustworthy informant considers that Bismarck is doing bis utupost to bring | about that event. Schonvaloff’s accession to power would be the signal for a policy on the part of Russia and Germany aiming at acommon reactionary end, Schouvalof's foreign policy would not be pacific, but rather the opposite.

(8Y TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD.) Convmmi, 8. C., Noy, 8, 1878. Governor Hampton met with a serious accident yesterday afternoon, while out hunting deer, by which he had a leg broken just above the ankle. The Governor had agreed to meet some friends at a point about sixteen miles from Columbia for the purpose of driving deer, and when he reached the camp, about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, he found that the party had all gone on the hunt, Knowing the stands and where he was expected to join in the bunt, the Governor mounted a large mule whieh had been left at the camup and started to take his position a few hundred yards distant, As soon as he arrived at the place designated for him a deer came by in full chase, wud Governor Hampton fired his gun, which fright- ened the mule, ‘he bridle broke, and Governor Hampton jumped off the animal to the ground. In the fall his leg was broken, as already stated. Both bones were broken and protruded through the flesh, It is a horrible wound, and will prove move sevious on account of Governor Hampton's illness this fall, trom which he has never fully recovered, After the accident happened the Governor fired his gun many times and blew his horn frequently to get the assistance of his friends, but none of the gentlemen supposed that there was anything serious, thinking it was some one not belonging to their party, as they were, not aware of the Governor's presence, in the woods, After an hour or so one of his friends insisted on finding ont what'was the matter, and going in the direetion of the tiring, discovered the Governor pros- trate on the ground with his head against a tree and his hat thrown over the bleeding wound. Surgical aid was at once summoned from this city and the Governor was broughi here at a late hour last night. The acci- dent was not known to the public until this morning, and great regret is expressed by every one, as serious results are feared on account of his age and recent sickness, The Governor is doing very well this morn- ing, however, and has not lost his cheerfulness under | the severe pain. LOOK OUT FOR THEM. WHOLESALE ROBBERIES ON A SOUND STEAMER— HOW THE THIEVES PLUGGED THE -BOLTS OF STATEROOM DOORS—WARNING TO TRAVELLERS, [BY TELEGRAPH TO THR HERALD.) Newport, R, 1, Nov. 8, 1878, One of the boldest robberies that have taken place for some time occurred last night on the steamer Massachusetts, of the Stonington line. The system- atic and dexterous manner in which it was accom- plished shows that the thieves must have been expert in the business, William A. Harris, of Providence, was one of the passengers.’ He engaged stateroom A. He retired early and locked the door, but on endeav- oring to slide the bolt he found that it would not move. He examined it, but could not see anything wroug. In the night he was awakened by something; got up, looked at his watch, but found everything allright. ‘The last time that he awoke the boat had reached the wharf at Stonington. .He got up to see what time it was, when, to his surprise, he found that his watch, valued at $200, was gone. On further investigation’ he found that his pocketbook had also disappeared. He found the door slightly ajar. He dressed quickly, went down staira and inquired for Captain Allen. On find- | ing the Captain he related to him his misfortune, and | both went up to the room. On a close examina- tion of the door it was found wedge had been inserted near the bolt in such a man- her as to prevent its sliding. The thieves had made their way into the room, then, by picking the lock. STILL THEY COME, While Mr. Harris and the Captain were talking A. 'T. Jacques, of Lowell, approached the officer and id that he would like to see him. He then related his case. His bolt had been tampered with in the same manner. He had lost his watch, valued at ‘about $150; $40 in money and a number of tickets. While the three were conversing together Lteutenant T. H. Washburne, of the United States Navy, came to the captain, conversed with him and related a similar story; he had lost $249. When on the train Mr. Harris learned that Otis Howe, of Cambridgeport, had also been robbed, though to what extent could not be ascertained. It was afterward learned, too, that Mr. M. V. Wilcox, of this city, who had slept in the cabin, bad been robbed of $10. Two other passengers on the boat stated that they had heard some one tampering with the locks on the doors of their staterooms during the night. SURPICIOUS CHARACTERS.

OUTGOING DIRECTORS CIRCULATE DAMAGING RE- PORTS AND CAUSE A SUSPENSION OF THE GEBMAN UNION SAVINGS BANK OF BALTI- MORE. . (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) BaLtiors,. Nov. 8, 1878. In financial and business circles for a couple of days past rumors have prevailed to the effect that the German Union Bank, at Baltimore street and Post Office aventie, was in an embarrassed condition, but it was not generally known until to-day that the pay- ment of funds to depositors had actually ceased. On Monday last the annual eléction for directors took place, and a new board ‘was chosen. It is in- timated that some of the outgoing officials cireulated reports affecting the condition of the bank, which found their way, to the depositors and caused a run on the institution, The cashier, Charles Westrich, resigned, and Henry Vees was appointed by the new board and entered upon’ his duties today. The run commenced on ednesday and the bank paid out some $15,000, ull its available cash, and then required nnpaid depositors to ive the thirty days’ notice and ceased paying. There fen been little if any excitement and the crowd of de- ponitora at the bank to-day was not large. To-mor- row, however, when the suspension becomes generally known, it is expected that there will be a rush, as the ositors are numerous but the amounts not large. he bank was established seven years ago, with a capital of $100,000, of which $60,000 was paid in by the stockholders. The ¢ amount due to de- positors ia estimated at $140,000, and the bank, it is understood, holds assets nominally. valued at $247,000. Of this unm, however, only $89,000, and $5,000 in cash, was available on October 19, The remaining as- seta consist of stocks, notes, &c., the actual value of which cannot now be determined, Several months ago the president, John Smith, resigned, and the bank has now pending against hima suit to recover $14,600, An examination of the accounts waa made to-day and submitted to a special mecting of the directors to- night. ‘THE BANK WILL PROBABLY REBUME. ‘The Board remained in session until slate hour, and upon adjourning furnished a statement showing liabil- ities $129,000, axsets $212,000, of which latter $60,000 would probably be lost by bad debts. They stated that since the recent failures of two German banks in Wasabi m the depositors had shown a disposition to withdraw their funds. They also announced that the bank will probably resume in a couple of weeks and that depositors will lose nothing. INSUCCESSFUL REVENUE RAID.

SYLVANIA RAILROAD PROPOSES. TO THE CARRYING TRADE OF PHTLA- HOW THE P * INCREASE DELPHIA. {BY TELEGRATH TO THE HERALD.) PHILADELPHIA, Noy, 8, 1878, There is a movement on-foot here to build an ele- vated railroad on Market street, the principal whole- sale thoroughfare of’ Philadelphia, The matter was broached this afternoon at a meeting of a commit- twe of the City Council specially called to consider the subject. The proposition is understood to have come from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which has its tracks on Market street for carrying freight to and from the neighborhood of the large warebouses that extend nearly from the Delaware to the Schnylkill. Strickland Kneass, engineer of the Pennsylvania Railroad, said that if the project were favored and authority given the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will erect at its own expense an | elevated railroad that will not interfere with tracks now on Market street nor with the business of any man on it. “It you desire,” continued Mr. Kneaas, “the company will take 4 lease of your city rajlroad, work it for you and give you a yearly payment equal to what you make out of it now, and ‘relieve you entirely of any burden or ex- pense. The “proposed road,” said Mr. Knease, “will, not cause any such trouble’ as has been experienced with the New York | elevated roads over which cars are continually running near to the house line, while the cars would be hauled at a comparatively slow rate of speed, steam being used so aa to make the carrying of freight more economical. More freight could be brought in and taken out in this way, and thus the city would be benefited. At Fifteenth street a passenger depot could also be erected for local tratlic, and gentlemen in the rural districts could. gain nearly forty minutes in their count.ng houses. The settlement of the question was postponed by the committee. VIRGINIA JUSTICE. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. ] Norvoux, Noy. 8, 1878. ‘Imprisonment for one year in the Penitentiary.

Haskell, rop., for Congres frou the Second. district, is elected bya plurality, but Hallowell, the republican candi- date at large, will probably have from three to five thousand majority over Crawford, ind. LOUISIANA. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. ] New Orxans, Nov. 8, 1878, Thirty-three parishes, together with the city of New Orleans, give Burke, the democratic candidate for State Treasurer, a majority of 39,250. ‘These, in 1876, gave a democratic majority of 10,345, Twenty- four parishes are yet to be heard trom, Of these eleven were democratic in 1876, seven republican, and in six the vote was about equally divided between both parties. The large majorities for State Treasurer is ingeniously attributed to the fact that Burke wae a well known advocate of justice, kindness and con- ciliation toward the colored race, and Gardner was re- garded by them as a former bull-dozer. There was no financial question involved in the late campaign here, The republicans took the name of nationals. In the city of New Orleans three municipal tickets were run. The nationals, supported by the republi- cans, polled 7,000 votes. ‘The Citizens Conservative Association, composed of a few civil service reformers and some disappointed politicians, polled 6,800. The tax resisters, or advocates of repudiation, only polled 1,140 votes, showing how small & support such things have here. The regular democratic vote polled for Mayor was 14,000; for Treasurer, 19,000—thus beating the entire combined opposition. Some of the disappointed conservative candi- dates, however, still continue to rumbte and threaten a contest. Before trying this I under- stand a committee will wait upon the Governor to- morrow with an address asking him to right their wrongs. In all moral certainty the Governor will re- fer them to the courte, Under the present law of Louisiana the Clerk of the Court and Civil Sheriff cach separately perform the ministerial duties of com- piling the returns procisely as returned by commis- sioners of election at each poll, and no discretion is vested in any officer to omit or change the actual count made at any poll. Citizens continne to make affidavits inst the democratic election prin, charging udulent counting, ballot box stuffing, destruction of votes, polla, &c. “The alleged frauds involve the titles of the Congressmen from the First and Second districts, an wee us of all successful candidates for city and parish offices. MASSACHUSETTS. Haveraite, Nov. 8, 1878, A recount of the vote for representative in the State Legislature from this district elects D. Smith Kimball, democrat, over C. E. Kelley, republican, by 9 votes. MISSOURL Sr. Loves, Nov. 8, 1878, Buckner, dem., for Congress in the Thirteeuth dis- trict, has been re-elected by 3,000 plurality. Ford, greenback-rep., will have 1,500 majority in the Ninth district. Clardy, dem., in the First district, part of which is in this city, will probably have a plurality of 2,600, -Frost’s ‘plurality in the Third ‘district over Metcalf is increased by returns from the county pre- cincts to about 1,800, In the Eleventh district Clark, the present member, has no opposition. Not enough returns have been received from the other districts to give majorities. , NEW YORK. Srmacuse, Nov. 8, 1878. Tayler, republican, claims to have been elected to the Assembly in the Second district, Madison county, though the face of the returns show Berry's election. A recount is demanded, PENNSYLVANIA. Mavcn Cuvunx, Nov. 8, 1878. The latest returns elect Robert Klotz in this the Eleventh Congressional district by 163 plurality. General Albright will probably contest the seat. VIRGINIA. Ricamonn, Nov. 7, 1978, The Ninth Congressional district is still in doubt. It is difficult to obtain returns from several counties which have no railroad or telegraphic communica- tion. In eleven counties McMullen (independent con- servative and greenbacker) leads Richmond (con- servative) fifty-aeven votes. It is expected that New- berry (independent conservative) will divide the opposition vote with McMullen in the four remaining counties, thus insuring Richmond's election. McMul- Jen has # nearly solid m vote. Full returns have not received from the First district, where there is a strong fight between Beale (conservative) and Round (independent). Beale will carry the district over Round and Cretcher (inde- pendent conservative), but it is impossible to state by what pluralities. The other districts remain as heretofore reported, WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
