ULvysses, November 8.—Tho elec- tion in Butler county is noted for bold and open bribery. The republi- can ticket i» probably defeated, ex- | cepting Davis, candidate for treas- urer. The county precincts will give the anti-monopoly ticket a good vote, but in all the towns it does not figure conspicuously, The count has not been completed in David City. The tickets counted give this result: Ev- ens, democrat, fore clerk, 84; Lord- ich, 90; Fenlon, democrat, for sheriff, 89; Wills, republican, for sheriff, 87; Davis, republican, for treasurer, 147; Sheets, democrat, for treasurer, 21; Regestone, anti-monopoly, 7. The full vote in Ulysses preciuct gives Da- vis 94, Sheets 64, Lord 85, Evans 74, Chamberlain, anti-monopoly, 66. National Assoclated Pross MISSISSIPPI JacksoN, Miss,, November 8.— Waeather fair and voting here com- menced early and continues with great interest, Vickssura, November 8. —The elec- tion 18 progressihg quietly. At noon the indications are that Lowery, dem- ocrat, will receive a large majority for governor. The democratic ticket will all be elected in this county, except Sheriff Beck, republican, will be electod. In every county the demo- crats are said to be leadlng, except Hinds, where the fusion ticket is ahead. JacksoN, November 8.—There is nowa large number of negroes voting the Democratic ticket. News has just been received of a riot in Londerdale county, m which the democratic nom- inee fur assessor and two other white wmen were killed by negroes, AN ELECTION RIOT, VickssurG, November 8, — A special to the Herald from Meridian, Miss , says that soon after the polls were opened this morning at Marion, Miss., a row occurred, in which three white men were killed, Among the killed was A, T.

BEMIS' Real Estate Exchange 16th and Dougl as Ftreet. assessor and democratic candidate for re-clection. The white men killed were A, T. Harvey, Joo Bowel and Jeff Segars; Vincent Segars is mor- tally wounded. Two of the negroes who did the shooting are non-residents of Marion. , : Peace and quiet prevailed here to- day, and outside of politicians and negroes but very little interest was manifested in the result of the elec- tion either in thestate or county, con- sequently an unusually small vote was po‘iled, 10 p. m.— The count thus far in- dicates a majority for the state demo- cratic ticket, and the election of R. F. Beck, republican eandidate for sheriff, in Warren ocounty. A ful ler count may develope con- tra results, but we think it hr{aly that the above will stand the test. . The lack of telegraphic facili- ties in this county renders it difficult to get the newa from country pointa. A special to the Herald fiom Jack- son, Miss., says the reports indicate a Aemocratic majority as follows: Mon- roo county 1,800, Gronada 6500, Yazoo 1,600, Noxubee safe, Marshall solid, Copiah small majority, Hinds esti- mated at 500. The above is from the chairman of the state democratic executive com- mittee. CONNECTICUT.

New Haven is voting about three to one against the purchase of the water works from the private cor- poration. Haxrtrorn, November 8.—Tho re- publicans have both houses of the leg- islature by a reduced majority. The senate will stand fourteon republicans to ten domocrats; house 148 republi- cans, 160 democrats. MARYLAND. Bavrisore, November 8.--The day is foggy and wet, buta protty full vote is being polled by the regular demo- crats; but there is a surprising amount of apathy among the old liners. No disturbance thus far. MASSACHUSETTS. Bostox, November 8.—The elec- tion to-day is passing off quietly and there is no excitement attonding the voting. A very light vote is being polled and no interest in the contest is shown by either party. BostoN, November 8. —~The vote of all the precincts give Lonu, republi- can, 16,258; Thompson, domocrat, 13,434, a republican gain of about 4,- 300 over 1880, and a falling off’ of about 2,300 from the total city vote of last year. PENNSYLVANIA. Prrrssuraw, Pa., November 8 -- There is little excitoment in this city to-day over the election. The weath- er is pleasant but the indications are that a small vote will be polled. Bai- ley, Republican candidate for State treasurer, is holding about even with the local county ticket, the Wolfe de- fection not having thus far in the day exhibited any strength except what it 18 getting from the Democratic gnrt.y, which is unfriendly totheir candidate, Orange Noble. Allegheny county will not poll over 35,000 vote, which is about half its voting population, but will give an average of 5,000 Repub- lican majority to the State and county ticket. PHILADELPHIA, November 8--Noon. ~-The election is progressing quietly and a light vote is being polled. There is great apathy in_many wards, but the reformers are doing hard work in every gection with a view of electing their ticket. The democrats are with- out an orgamization in many of the wards, while the republicans aro ac- tive and will get out a good vote, The indications at this hour are that Bai- lay, for state treasurer, will havo over 20,000 majority in the city, and the entire republican ticket, with the ex- coption, probably, of one of the com- missionors, will be elected, Bailey will probably be electod by 10,000 to 20,000 majority, if the state estimato is correct. Prrrssukc, November 8.—A very light vote was cast to-day, though the weather was fair, The total vote of the city will scarcely reach 35,000, Scattering returns show that Wolie, anti-Cameron candidate for state treasurer, is making a stronger run than was expected. Returns from 40 precincts give Builey, republican, 2,662; Noble, democrat, 1,715; Wolfe, 1,061. The republican county ticket is sure of election. Ninety-seven districts of this city give Bailey, republican, 6,769; Noble, .| democrat, 3,469; Wolfe, independent republican, 2,633. Reports to The Times from soventeen towns through- out western Pennsylvania give Bailey 4,617 majority. Wolfe is making an excellent run, but Noble is making a very poor one, NEW YORK. ALpaNY, November 8 —The olec- tion is proceeding very quietly, and there i8 no excitoment. The demo- crats claim that they will have 3,600 majority in Albany county. Many republicans are voting blank ballots, Broman, stalwart republican, for the senate, is being badly cut. Draper, stalwart republican, for the assembly, will be elected. New York, November 8. —In the ninth congressional district, to suc- ceed Fernando Wood, Hardy is elect- ed by an immense majority over Thomas.

Carter, re- publtcan, for aeseniblyman, is ro- elected by 150 majority. Ewvira, November 8 —Chemung county will give s domocratic majority on the state ticket of about 300, Dimon, democrat, is elected member of theasrembly. Schwartz, democrat, for state senator, will have ahout 1,000 majority in this county, but not enough to overcome the republican vote in the republican countics of Steuben and Allegheny, the other two countios in the district, and Sumner Bald wjn, ropublican, will probably be od. New York, 11:30 p. m.—Returns as far as recoived give Flower, demo- crat, for congress, a majority over "OMAHA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMB Astor, ropublican, showing that the latter is beaten by nearly 2,000 Urica, November 8.—Griffin, stal- wart, has boen electod in the contont- ed district by 124 plurality. Some sharp practice may result in the con- test, providing the legislature is dem- ocratic. One democratie eandidate is H. L. Babcock, Ballots were intro- duced and voted to some extent read- ing, L. H. Babcock and Lewis H. Babeock, a popular Utica counsellor. Tho democrats claim suficient of these wero cast to make good their contest should one bo entered upon it. Re. turns come in slowly. Pokrersie, N. Y., November 8. Republican majority about 800, a gain of 301, Saratoga, N. Y., November 8 Sixof the twenty towns in Saratoga county, including Saratogh springs, give Carr 710 majority, & republican loss of 160 on Grrficld's majority.

Seneca county gives the demooratic state ticket about 150 majority, but electan republican assemblyman.

New York, November 8. —Mid. night.—~A bulletin from the republi- can headquarters at this hour states that the returns are very incomplete, owing to the defective working of the telograph, caused by bad weathor. They show that tho republicans have probably elocted their state ticket, oxcepting Husted for treasurer, by a small majority, ILLINOIS, A QUIET ELECTION IN OHICAGO, Cuicaso, November 8.—~The clec- tion in Chicago is progressing quiotly and alight vote is being polled. 1In some of the wards containing four or five yoting places less than 200 votes were polled up to noon. this number being one-eighth of the registry. The chief intorest lies in the fight over the county commissionership and in the county towns there B con- siderable excitement over results. Coburn; republican candidato for commissioner is being © considerably scratched in favor of Mattock, demo- crat. In some town in the districts Stephens, republican, for elerk of the criminal court, is leading his ticket. The weather has been clondy all day. A light rain began falling at 11 o'clock and bids fair to continue. All indications favor the democratic ticket. CHicaGo, November 8.—~To-day's election was the most lifeless one over witnessed in the ciby. A light vote was polled the party lines not being strictly drawe;« ?"Rflfe of the supreme court both republicans and democrats nominate judge Joseph E. Gary who wae elected al- most without a scratch. ‘WISCONSIN. Mitwavkeg, November 8,—The state election passed off quietly to-day throughout the entire state, less than one-half the average votebeing polled. This fact is due to the recent terrible floods which have visited Wisconsin and left the roads in an impassable condition. In this city the cortest was the quietest ever known, no stir or excitement of any kimd being vis- ible. The returne thue far show that the following are the assemblymen elect in the city: Republicans—Arthur Bate, Jucob Zander, Frank W. Wood, Wm. Lindsay, Henry Herger. Democratic — Edward Krogle, F. J.

At 11 o'clock to-night returns at both demo- cratic anda republican headquarters from 108 precincts in the city and 2 338D voting precincts in the state show a net democratic gain of 2,800, MapisoN, Wi, November 8.- Comparisons on 102 towns from all portions of the state, including Mil- waukee, complete, show a republican gain of 412 on the voto of 1877, when the republicans had 8,000 majority. This indicates a republican majority in the state of from 10,000 to 12,000, COLORADO, Denver, November 8.—The vote on the location of the state capital gives Denver a plurality, but not a majority, Colorado Bprings . and Pueblo next. The question goes over one year. The Denver municipality will be republican.

Moonlight, democrat, for sheriff, is ahead at this hour (1 &. m.), and is probably elected, though it may require the official count to decidv. MINNESOTA. Sr. Pavt, November 8.—Johnson, democrat, tor governor, carried St, Paul by about 2,000, but looses Min- neapolis by about the same figures, The entire county ticket is electod in this city except treasurerp and the in- dications at midnight point to the success of the republican candidate, Henry M. Rico over John X. Davieon. In the atate at large Johnson rua largely ahead of his ticket, but will be beaton by nearly 10,000, a Jconsider- able reduction over last year. The vote was loss than two-thirds and does not give a fair test of the strength of the parties as both tickets had elo- ments of unpopularity. VIRGINIA. Ricnwoxsn, November8, —-Sixty one precincts heard from in the atate, in- cluding 16 in Richmond, give Daniel, democrat, 10,480, and (ameron, read- juster, 8,776, a small gain for the democrats over last year. oalles FOREIGN AFFAIRS Natlonal Amsocinted Press.

Loads of Taffy Brought From Omabha to be Fed to the Denver Merchants. to Make Gonossstons toHeadl ; Off the Burlington. Denve: Republican, The magnificant’ private car of the general manager of the Union Pacitic railway occupies a sido track 1n the yard beyoud the Union Depot. It e in over the new Julesburg short lino, and brought, among other Union Pacific ofticials, General Manager Clarke, Assistant General Manager Kimball, and Assistant General Freight Agent Shelby. The alleged object of the visit of thedistinguished gentlemen wis to inspect the new line, and doubtless this is one reason why they are hore; but it is protty well understood ~ that the Union Pacific officiuls have now deter- mined to let up a little in their discriu on against Denver and curry power with our merchants with a view to avoid as far as possible the punishment which would be meted out to them upon the airival of the Burlington. Mr. Shelby has been talking to the Denver merchants, and will uppear at a meeting of the board of trade at 4 o'clock this afternoon. To ascertain what our business men think of the new attitude of the Union Pacitic a representative of the Repub- lican went around among them yes- terday and found the most of them enjoying the buoyancy of spirit which comes from a consciousness of being pretty nearly at the top of the heap. One of the shrewdest and bost-in- formed merchants of the city un- bosomed himselt as follows: “The fact is that the Union Pacitic are beginn ng to realize that they are losing their grip upon Denver. 1he time was whon there was no uso of our trying to do anything with them, but since tae Burlington determined to come here, they are gradually get- ting mollified. They are now ready to listen to tho board of trade, and when tho board mekes a demand there is pretty sure to be a prowpt and favorable response. As you are woll aware, a large proportion of the eastorn business has for some time been going by way of tho southern route, and the almost universal, senti- ment among the business men of Denver is to encourage the Burling- ton, and when their line gets here load it down with business. The Union Pacific people realizo this, and now offer concessions of various kinds, and promise to move freight between Omahaand Denver in fifty hours.” ““What is thought of such promis- es!” asked the reporter. “We understand them perfectly woll,” was the reply. *‘They can ko the time named 1f they choose, but I doubt very much whether it will be done. They promise to run through Denver train, but tho con- stant temptation will be to load it with freight bouhd for points on the Union division west of Julesburg, which would causo delay at that point in irregularity in reaching Denver, The merchants are willing to accept from the Union Pacific the rights which have long been denied us, and there aro many points which as yet can only bo reached by that road.

STAR ROUTE CASES. ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF THE INFORMA- TION, Hon, B. H, Brewster, ot Philadel- phin, counsel for the government this worning began the closing argument in favor of tho information in the star route case. He went into the laws of the case at once, contending that the law which made the appropriations for the star routes contained a resolution which com- manded the president to investigate any frauds that might be perpe rated. Ho contonded that — prooveding by information wns known here and all over the country and was as old as common law, lvlu fol- lowed with numerous cituations to establish his reputation, holding that the defense in their argument had strained the law to accomplish their end. In continving his argument, Mr. Browstor said: T deny that the affidavits were informal, irregular or insuflicient, The law does not re- quiro that an affiant verify all things by personal knowledge and there was need to cite papers, documents and Jette No man in pleading can_ state the ¢ dences or conclusions of the law. Jeers heard are a formidable weapon before tho people, and the definse well understand how to hurl them, but before chis tribunal they will do no good. The information i in stiict compliance with the law, and the gen- tlemen for the defense know it. An aflidavit is made part of the informa- tion, and u false statoment of any al- leged fact would subject the postmas- tor general {0 indictinent for perjury. T'he information recites all the neces- sary facts} but not all the faots that would break the strong lance of jus- tice. Continuing his argument in the star ronte cuses this afternoon Mr, Brewstor said: ““Thoy say there is no crime agoinst their clionts, und Indiana, will now be paid over.

JUDGE LAWRENCE'S REPORT, Judge William Lawronce, first comp- troller of the tressury, has submitted his annual report, ot which the follow- ing is an abstract: Accounts and vouchers have been received from the first and fifth auditors and commis- sioner general of tho land oftice, and credited as follows: From the first b 0. the . l{e white Tiotise to Men- auditor 9,036 accounts and 61, hers, amounting to $2,- ) 60; from the fifth G4 accounts and 10645647 vouchers, amounting to $708,073,- 686,82, From the commissioner of the general land oftice, 2,351 accounts and 17,602 vouchers, amounting £5,042,740. Total amount for which accounts and vouchers have beon audited, €3,471,905,227.18, The re- port makes the following recommenda- tions: That it be recomn.ended to congress that the solicitor of the treasury represent the government before the first comptroller when im- Enrtnnt claims are being considerod y him; that the secretary be given auhority to cause an investigation b; officors of the depariment of official transactions and accounts of any officer under the department, Some of the vouchers of the Di of Columbia commis- aro for work not Ily authorized by law, but ac- tually needed. The attention of con. 8, however, called to this fact, that they may take action upon the matter. He says it isindispensible to the prompt adjustment of s and carrying on of the businers of the office that additionnl clerical ansist- ance be given him. He suggests that a division of the claims in the offico, with proper persons 1 charge of each department, would facilitate work, Regarding certain disbursing officers, who are also cus- todians, he recommends a form of re- port similar to that used in the quar- termaster’s department, under section 1221 of the revised statutes, He sug- gests that provisions be made for fill- ing the places of secretarios of the ter ritories in case of death or absence of persons holding such pleces. He trict again recommends that a limit b fixed for the time in the y which claims against government may be brought. A CIRCULAR. Tho second auditor of the treasury to-day iesued a circular calling the at- tention of the disbursing agents of the department to the statute prohibitiue puyment in the absence of any articl surchased by the government. This 18 to avoid a repetition of ths compli- cations that have hitherto arisen 1 this respect. THE NEW BRITISH MINISTRR, Hon.
