Governor Davis of Maine, has is
sued a proclamation declaring carried
the amendment to tbe Constitution
making only a plurality of votes
necessary to elect a Governor. The
point is again raised in popular dis
cussion whether the amendment
should apply to the late election, nnd
the probability is that it will get into
the courts and that use will be made
of it to prevent General Plaistcd be
coming Governor.
The New York World, which at
one time showed n disposition to hack
np Barnum in his fraud cry, accep's
the action of the Hoard of State Can
vassers with reference to the result of
the Presidential election in that State.
There is one Democrat in tin Hoard
of Cunvassers, and a he agreed per
fectly with iiis Republican colleuiri es
there does not appear to be anythirg
for the Democrats to do but to submit
ns gracefully as they can, and this
most of them are doing.
The curious Tact is show by the
official canvas of the votes cast in
New York city and county on the 2d
Inst, that not one "scratched" ticket
for Presidential Electors was saved.
Every one of the o candidates on the
Kepubli nil ticket received 81, HSO votes;
every one on t lie Di in ieratie ticket re
ceived 123,015 votes; every one on the
Greenback ticket received C10 votes,
and every one on the Prohibition
ticket received 2S votes, and there were
no defective nnd no blank b.i'.lot.
Kansas has gone a little further
. than any State in prohibitory legisla
tion, by adopting an amendment to
the constitution prohibiting the man
ufacture and sale of intoxicating li
quors except for medical, scientific
and mechanical use. It is reported
th it this has been adopted by a ma
jority of 20,0i 0 votes. As a part of
the Constitution this prohibitory law
cannot be changed or repealed exce t
through a two third vote of each
branch of the Legislature.rntifled by n
vote of the people.
The report of the Census Bureau
shows as plainly as can be that South
Carolina would be Republican on i.n
honest count of the votes. The popu
lation is ascertained to he 995,306 nil
increase of 28D.70J over the population
credited the State ii ;8;i. Of this
population 391,404 are white, an in
crease of 101,404 in ten years. The
colored population is 004,235, an in
crease of 188,421 for the same period.
This would indicate an increase of 6
percent, of the white population nnd
45 per cent, for the colored. The col
ored population exceeds the white by
213,154.

Chicago,. November 2t. A despatch
from Indianapolis says t hat B. G. Par
ker, the Republican Elector nomi
nated In place of General Thomas V.
Bennett, who was withdrawn because
of his alleged connection with u Fede
ral office, has been defeated through
the blunders of omiting his name
from the tickets in Perry, Floyd,
Bartholomew, Putnam and Wells
counties, in which Parker did not get
n single vote. This will elect D. V.
('ham hers the Democrat Elector, by
about 5,000 majority.
A FURTHER EXPLANATION.
Indianapolis, November 24. By
reason of the stupidity of some of the
election officers the votes cist for
Benjamin G. Parker as elector on the
Republican ticket In several counties
in the State were returned for Thomas
W. Bennett, who was not a candidate.
The tickets lor the whole State were
printed by the State Central Com
mittee, nnd were correct, but the poll
books and tally-sheets, which were
under the law, provided by the local
authorities, contained by mistake the
name of Bennett, who had declined,
and for whom Parker had been sub
stituted Tbe attention of election
officers and local committees In every
precinct in the State was called to the
charge, and every precaution urged to
see that the proper corrections were
made ill the tall-sheets and poll-books,
and it is only by the grossed careless
ness of the election officers that votes
which were east for Benjamin G.
Parker should be returned for Thomas
V. Bennett. The error ahcls several
thousand votes, and under certain cir
cumstances, may lead to a certificate
being given to one of t lie Hancock
Electors, who has received n larger
vote on the lace of the returns than
that counted for Parker. Governor
Gray, wlien interviewed on the sub
ject to-day, said there was no desire to
take advantage of a technically, as
one Elector from Indiana would be of
no possible advantage to the Demo
crats, hut he knew of no legal method
of correcting the returns it it should
appear that the mistake was made by
the clerks of Election Boards in credit
ing the votes for Parker to Bennett on
the tally sheet, but if the error was on
the part of the county clerks he
thought it might be corrected, because
those officials were still in existence,
while Hie Election Board, having
passed out of existence, could not be
reorganized to correct any error that
bad been made. As in seven counties
the total Republican vote is returned for
Bennett it is probable that the view of
the case adopted by the Governor may
furnish u solution of the difficulty
The official shows that Bennett re
ceived 1,515 votes in Wells count v, 1,

Usurious interest.
HEAVY VERDICT AOAINST A BANK A
CASK For THE UNITED STATES SU
PR EM K COURT.
Lancaster, Nov. 21. One of the
nio-t iutcrcsliiiir eases ever tried
in thfs vicinity bus just been decided
in the Common Pleas Court of this
County, resulting in a verdict of
.',444.67 in favor of Frederick S
Bletz, of Columbia, against the Col
umbia National Bank. The suit was
brought for a penalty for the alleged
charging oi usurious interest, an Act
of Congress providing that no national
bunk shall take a greater rate of in
t res than the law of the State in which
the bank is located allows, and pre
scribing a penalty equal to double the
amount of interest paid. The circum
stances of the ease were these: Be
tween December 4, 1871, a ml Septem
ber 3, 178, 'the plaintifl', Mr. Blelz.who
was an extensive lumber merchant of
Columbia, had a number of notes
discounted at the Columbia National
Hank advancing interest for the use of
I his money to the amount of $3,222.14
He thcrclore brought action to recover
0,444. siS, double the amount of
interest paid, with inn rest from
Occeinb. r 1, IhT-'S, and the nhove facts
having been proved the court directed
a verdict in favor of iilaintilf tor the
whole amount, original claim and
i utcrest $9,434.87.
THE DF.FENSF.
For the 1c:'i use it was claimed that
in a nun brought some years ago in
which the Columbia National Bank
was piainiiir and Mr. RU-U defendant
just the reverse of the present case
but involving the same Issues all ex
cess of interest above C per cent, and
interest on the Mima had been allowed
as an nflsct. They claimed, further,
that the act of Congress allows a
.National bank to charge as much
interest as any bank of issue in the
State where it i-located, and that in
the years 1871, 1872 an, I 1873 numerous
banks of this kind were chartered, in
which they were nnthorized to charge
whatever interest might be agreed
upon between the parties, mill al.-o
that the Columbia National Hank was
not liable for any penalty, because Mr.
Bletz had been reimbursed for all the
interest he bu.l paid, that having been
a waiver of any penally that might
attach. In conclusion, they held that
the State Courts ii id no jurisdiction in
actions of this Kind. 'The case has
excited great in teres', and will go to
the Supreme Court of the United
States lor adjudication. Messrs.Gcorge
M. Kline uud .S. H. Reynolds ap
peared for plaintifl', ami Hugh M.
North, Esq., solicitor for the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company, lor the de
fense. General Garfield will take his
aged mother with him to the White
House. It will be the first instance of
the mother of a President, residing at
the executive .mansion. General
Grant's mother is yet living, but never
even visited the White House during
the eight years her illustrious son was
its occupant. She pcrferred to live in
retirement uud is no.v residing with
her daughter at Jersey City. General
Garfield's mother has always lived
witli him and will continue to do so to
the end of her days.
A bill named Fred. Palmer, son of

The la I washed his face with a band

and great cure should be taken by
persons who have to be much around

two rrotwers, assaulted, defend

ants nearly killed.
While Thomas Coyle and his
brother Francis were on their way
to their home In Kclleyvllle, Dela
ware county, on Tuesday nftcrnoon,
they were attacked back of Woodland
Cemetery by two tramps. One of the
strangers caught hold of the coat of
Thomas and presented a revolver at
his head. Francis Coyle ciiine to his
rescue nnd struck the tramp on the
head with a stone, felling him to the
ground and facturing his skull The
Coyle brothers were then pursued by
several other rough chnracters who
had been lurking about the neighbor
hood, but the appearance of an officer
caused the gang to take to their heels.
They were chased nnd the following
were captured James Cullen nnd
James Riley of New York: Edward
Knight of No. 108 Hiegel street; Ed
ward Jones of Camden, N. J.; James
Zayuor and John W. Thomas. Re
turning to the scene of the attack the
officers found the Injured tramp, who
gave the name of John Sheppard,
lying on the ground. He was re
moved to the University Hospital,
where his condition was reported
to be critical. The Coyle brothers
were nlso taken into custody, and yes
terday nil of the pnrties were given a
hearing at the Central Station. John
W. Thomas was held in $1,500 bail .as
the ringleader of the gang, and the
others were placed under $800 bail
each. Thomas and Francis Coyle
were committed to await the result of
Sheppitrd's injuries. Eater in the day
application was made to Judge
Thayer in the old Courthouse to fix
bail in the case, and the Judge, ufter
listening to the facts, named $2,500 ns
the amount.

DISCOVERY THAT THE ENVELOPE
ORIGINALLY BORE ANOTHER NAME.
New York, November 23. Counsel
for the prosecution in the Morey letter
case for some time past have been
carefully examining the letter and the
envelope in which it was enclosed, to
see if either would utlbrd miy clue to
the writer. As has heretofore been
stated, the Washington postmark is
different from that in use at the Post
Office there nt the date of the letter.
Now it is certain that the envelope
originally bore another name. Pho
tograph copies of it, very much en
larged, have been taken, and these
:cveal that tin address has been nearly
erased from it. The name was either
"Cox' or "Fox,'' care of some com
pany, "New York City.',' The first
name looks like Edwin or Edward.
Various inquiries have been made
among persons bearing this name, but
without results. None of them recalls
receiving a letter from Washington at
that time. Inquiries will be con
tinued in this direction. Meanwhile
no additional indictments have been
found by the Grand Jury against any
of the persons implicated in forging
and circuiting the letter. It was ex
pected that some would be found to
day. John I. Devenport has returned
from Ohio, and when asked how be
left the President-elect lie laughingly
replied that he was not nt Mentor:
that he "went no lurther than Cleve
land." Despatches from the West re
ported that both he and Marshall
Jewell, CI. airman of the Republican
National C in in it tee, had cailcd on
General Garfield. It was understood
that they were there in connection
with the forged letter.
