The New York World of to-day says: i Tie election yesterday resulted In an over whelming majority for the Democracy. The city did nobly, rolling up a majority of 60,000, both on State and local 1 adiciary tickets, in a total vote of 104,132. The rural districts have also done handsomely. The Republican majorities have been reduced In all of their strongholds, and some counties heretofore strongly Republican hare wheeled into line In the Democratic column. The ma jority in the State will exceed fifty thousand, and we should not be surprised if full reports chow that the State has gone Democratic with out the vote of this city. The result is a Water loo to the Republicans a decisive and complete rout. The entire local ticket of Tammany is elected, from Judges of the Court of Common Picas down to Assistant Aldermen. It is a clean sweep in all directions. .. There was a sharp local contest In Brooklyn over the nominee for City Judge, but the regular Democratic ticket is elected. In truth, there is nothing to mar our triumph in any quarter. It la vletory on all sides, in every direction, and all along the lines. We give below reported and estimated ma jorities from all the connties of the State. Full returns will increase rather than diminish the majorities. The following are the successful candidates for the new Court of Appeals: CHIEF JUDGE. Sanford . Church, Democrat. ASSOCIATE JUDGES. , William F. Allen, Democrat. Rufus W. Peckham, Democrat. Charles A. Rapallo, Democrat. Martin Grover, Democrat. Charles Mason, Republican (probably). Charles Andrews, Republican (probably). Unblushing Frauds Perpetrated. The Sun t ays: The election in this city yesterday was, as the sequel demonstrates, a farce and a moekery. It is safe to assert that out of every fifteen votes cast, fourteen were fraudulent. Almost every poll was entirely under the control of corrupt inspectors, and organized bands of repeaters, paid by the Tammany ring, at the rate of from five to fifteen dollars per man. The police, seemingly acting under secret In structions from their superiors,-) aided and abetted the conspirators, and exhibited no in clination to checK the tide of fraudulent voting. The heavy penalties affixed by the last Legisla ture to the crime of violating the election law produced no effect whatever. The system of "repeating" and "ballot-box stuffing , was car ried on on a scale more extensive than ever. All the public offices remained closed. An intcrestlne feature of the farce was the voting of the colored element. Around about the booths and at the voting places there were many tharoers who endeavored to prostitute the privi leges of the African voters by inducing them to -vote more than once. Those who did fall victims had some ludicrous mishaps. . t The Result In the State. "I 1 The Times remarks: The vote cast throughout the State-was very litrht. Republicans seem to have paid but little attention to the election,- allowing the Demo crats to carry it their own way. The State has gone Democratic by about 75,000. New York City. The Tribune has the following editorial upon the result ot the election in tne city: We thank the ruffians and blacklegs who are paid to do the voting of Tammany Hall for giving us so perfect a specimen of their handi work in Yesterday's election. They did not affect the general result, save by swelling ma- lorltles already abundant: while they gave our citizens a fair sample of their capacity and their disnosition. . . . The legal vote of the city was about half -polled yesterday; but the illegal was out in all its glory. In most of the lower wards, more fraudulent than lawful votes were cast; some of the voters making a day of it by voting from poll to poll sometimes In the names of legal voters whom they laiseiy personated. The men who misrule ana roo our city are fully aware of these villainies. Ail the ma chinery of police and of justice is completely in tneir bands, iney couia, Dy simp.y noiaing up a menacing hand, stop these frauds at one; they do net, because they pay lor ana proat by them. Let us see what they will say and do of yester day's performance in their Interest and for their txinelit. CITY OFFICERS BLICTID. ,,. (All Tammany Candidates) ' JUDOKS OF COMMON Pl.sUS. . - .

A Waablagtonlaa Illowlng Ilia Owa Tru to Some furpoae. ipet All Washington is laughing now at Mayor Bowen, who is a canaiaate tor re-eieciion and In the midst of a red-hot canvass. When he was last a candidate, a most flattering account of his life and services was published over the signa ture of a colored man, and generally distributed, -i. that It waa written hv Rnmn and one of the city papers has had the original nrntnirr&Dhed and D laced on exhibl tion. The following paragraph is a fair specimen cf the production: aii thia vh done bv Mr. Bowen from prin clple, without the remotest expectation of fee or ,JLrA and I hannen to know that be does not want any office or favor at your hands; that if lie were the only one to be consulted - he would retire to private life when he leaves the position he now so ably and satisfactorily fills. But you and we, the Republicans of this city, cannot permit him to do this. He is, in my opinion, and in the Judgment of the best men In Wash ington, the only man ia our ranks who can command the entire vote of the party, and thns Insure the election f a Republican Mayor. I am proud to be able to say mat even tne tongue of slander has been compelled to remain silent as it respects his morals and sterling Integrity, and that although many millions of Government funds have passed through his hands, not a dollar, nay, not even a single pennr, has ever stuck to them, excepting of course his legal and legitimate salary. His honesty is proverbial, and it is this, my friends, and his acknowledged capacity, that have secured for him the many positions he has held under the Government of which we have heard so much. It was this that com.mer.ded him to our tainted Lincoln, whose confidence he pos sessed to the fullest extent, and from whom he received and now keeps as a sacred memento of that friend and martyr of liberty and humanity more commissions than any other man living or dead. With his name on our banner success is certain, and who other than he will be sure to secure that object ?" CLERICAL TRIAL. The Rev. J. B. Clark Tried Before the Alle gheny Presbytery for Breach of Pramlne The Reverend Uentlemaa'a Statement The Jilted Lady's Testimony. The Allegheny Presbytery of the United Pres byterian Church, assembled in the Second U. P. Church Allegheny, yesterday morning, as a church judicatory, for the purpose of pro ceeding with the trial of Rev. J. B. Clark, D. D., for the breach of marriage contract with Miss Lillie B. Hawkes, a member of his congregation. STATEMENT OF BR. CLARK. Dr. Clark, in a voice betraying deep feelinsr. read the following paper: In reference to the matter alleged acrainst me upon your table, I respectfully present the fol lowing statement: l. I admit that there existed between Miss Lillie Hawkes and myself an understanding in volving a purpose and promise of marriage. 2. That after much deliberation and mental agony I asked her to release me from all obliga tion in tne matter, ieenng it my duty to decline the consummation of the marriage. 3. I present in justification of my refusal to proceed further in the matter a fear with regard to ner complete mental restoration wnicn be came so fixed upon my mind that I could not remove it. I struggled against the power of this impression until others, whose judgment I regarded as reliable, and more unbiassed than my own, unconscious of the relation existing between Miss Hawkes and myself, gave expres sion to the same opinion in my hearing. I be came thoroughly convinced that there was on this account a great risk in entering the mar riage relation with her, and that in a matter so solemn and important I would be doing a wrong and committing a grievance to proceed further. It is with deepest regret, and without any spirit of malice or resentment, I feel constrained to make this allusion to Miss Hawkes in my own vindication. I am not conscious of ever having said anything derogatory to her moral or Christian character. 4. I hereby acknowledge my Imprudence and want of judgment in entering into any under standing with Miss Hawkes in regard to mar riage with her, and I can only plead in extenu ation of this conduct my impression at that time that her mind had been perfectly restored. The above statement is numbly submitted, in confidence that the presbytery will exercise that judgment tempered with mercy inculcated by tne spirit ot tne uivine Master. Bespectiuuy submitted. The first Item of testimony was that of Dr. Curwln, of the Harrisbnrg Insane Hos pital. I .... 'i SB CURWKn 8) AFFIDAVIT- , It is as follows: "I certify that Miss Lillie Hawkes was brought to this hospital laboring under great exhaustion of the system, produced by over exertion and continuea application; out that her bodily health was greatly improved, and her mind entirely restored when she left the hospital." TESTIMONY OF MISS LILLIE HAWKES, Miss Hawkes, having been called and sworn. was interrogated as follows: ' i r.i u. Will you please state wnen this festi val was held? A. On the 23d of November, loty. ! .': . ! !' '.. ,''. Q. Please state if there was anything In Dr. Clark s manner tnat induced you to act in an off-hand manner ? A. He paid me a good deal of attention, and was with me a great deal that evening. , - - - . - j- u. uia tne iact tnat you were solemnly en' gaged to ur. (jiarK induce you to act ireeiy with him? I v ' Mr; Collins We object, r . i Dr. McLean The form of euestion is leadlnc. i u. was tnere anvininr in tne relations De- tween you and Dr. Clark that led you te act as you did ? A. Yes, I was very happy in the an tlclpatlon .that Dr. Clark would soon become my husband. I was conscious of. feeling un usually wen. . Mr sturgeon u. uia ur. uiaric ever renew his promise to marry you after the night of the festival ? A. He did. It was on a Sabbath Blent in December following. Question by Mr. sturgeon ma Dr. ciaric ever epeaK to you in regard to your mental weakness ? A. No, sir; not that I remember. He certainly never laid any stress on this fact, u. Did Dr. uiarii ever asx you to release him from his engagement after the festival ? A. He did not. - ' 1 CROSB-IXAlflNED. i Question by Dr. McLean You say that on the 23d of November you were happy in the anticl nation of having the engagement consummated; men now can you say mat on tne lata oi ue- ceoiber the engagement was renewed ? A. The opposition ot the people was discussed and the matter was an open question. There was an engagement, and the month of the marriage had been set, bnt the opposition of the people had caused the Doctor to hold the matter under advisement. It might be considered an open Question, but on tne lath ot December the con tract was positively renewed. ' . y. What do you mean by "an open ques' tion ?" A. The Doctor told me of the opposl tion of the people, and asked a consideration of that matter, but the engagement was not really broKen. Dr. McLean asked the witness how It came that she was happy under a promise of marriage. which was under reconsideration, and had to be renewed some nine days afterwards. Witness I think I can explain. Dr. Clark said the neoola were opposed to his marrvlo me. partly on account or my health, and partly because it was not deemed best for him to marry in tne congregation. ' 1 ' - - Q. Did Dr. Clark never give you a hint that he was afraid about your mind f A. Not that I recollect; and I certainly would have remem bered it if he had spoken of it. - Question by Dr. McLean The engagement was renewed on the 12th of December; has it been discontinued since ? A. I would judge so from the contents of his last letter, when he says: "I wish no one to come near ine, except in the Donas oi simpie inenasulp. ' The trial, which occasions an Intense excite ment iu Pittsburg, is sUU inprogress. THE KEI10SENE FIEND. Aaetaer Fatal ExelaaUa. af Coal OilWeea wilt reapia ia v The Cincinnati Times of Monday says: It is our painful duty to record another death irom the explosion oi coai 011. About eight o'clock last evening Slgnor Roost. an Italian portrait painter, who resided with his family at Fairmount. undertook to fill a lamp. while burning, with coal oil, the result of which was the explosion of both lamp and can. Mr. Kossrs clothes were completely saturated witn the fluid, which immediately caught fire. Five of his children were in the room at the time ot the occurrence, and bis wife was sitting on the steps at the front of the house. Mr. Rossi s screams for help, mingled with those of his wife and children, brought a num ber of the neighbors to the house. Mr. Adler was the first to arrive, ana lniormsus that when he entered the room Rossi was all ablaze, and rushed towards him screaming for help. Adler. belDg in bis shirt sieeves, and tearing a contact with the burning man, got out of the way. Mr. Kosel rushed into tne yard, wnere he was met him and succeeded in suppressing the flames. Mr. Adler entered the room vacated by Rossi, and found it on fire. With the assistance of others, he succeeded In saving the house from destruction. Rossi was conveyed to his room and medical aid procured; all that possibly could, be done for the unfortunate man was performed, but without effect. After suffering the most in tense agony death came to his relief at quarter to 4 o'clock this morning. jtossi was aoout nity years oi age. and was well known in this community as a portrait painter of considerable merit. He leaves a wife and six children, who, we are informed, are in a helpless and destitute condition. GENERALITIES. The youngest Mother In the Country. We published several months since an item setting forth that a girl only eleven years of age had become a mother, in Howard Lake township, wrigut county, mis item went the rounds of the papers, and was received with different degrees of belief. We are now enabled to state that this child-woman, with her infant. is now in this city. We "interviewed" her yes terday, ana iouna ner or medium size lor ner age, rather good-iooKing, witn light bine eyes and dark nair. ene is lour ieet eight and three quarter inches high, and weighs eighty pounds. The child weighed seven pounds five ounces when it was born, on the 28ih of December last. and now pulls down fifteen pounds. It "favors the mother" in its looks, and is as good-looking as tne average oi baoies ot tne same age. The real name ot tne motner js renona k. wiikins. and the child is to be called May Twilight Minneapolis uriuune. Airs. Richardson at Home. The Newark Advertiser says: "Mrs. McFar- land-Ricbardson is ill at her residence at Wood side, suffering from the chills and fever, con tracted during her residence in Indiana while seeking a divorce. 1 be attack is increased in violence by the excitement attending the recent McFarland trial. An attempt has been made to create the impression that the residents at Woodslde are hostile to Mrs. Richardson, and nave rciused to associate witn ner. un the con trary she receives dally many calls from sympa thizing friends, and has constantly presents of bouquets and other testimonials of regard. It is also stated that some of the chivalrous residents of Woodslde have agreed to protect Mrs. Rich ardson so closely that they will not allow McFarland, in his insane ramblings, to set foot in their village." THE STXNSMAN MURDER CASK. Tin la CTonvlcted of M order In the Henond Da. aree tie la pientencoa to an AmprHteninent of TWtiTe i ears. Court of Oyer and lerminer Judges Allison and j 'nrce. This mornlnff the trial of Oeonre W. Stlnsman for the murder of John Force, Jr., was regained. The only evidence in the cause was that given by the uommonwesiui, aim cohhujicu principally oi tne dying declarations of the deceased and the state ment oi an eye-witaess to tne occurrence, ana the facts as proved were the folio wins: On the after noon oi new learauayine aeceuaea started irom his home at Second and Cottage streets to Kosslter's tavern, at tne northwest corner or rront ana TasKer streets, and meeting a little child named Freddie Marks, took, him into the tavern, where he placed him en the counter to play the drum. The prisoner and his grandfather were in the bar-room, and it appeared that the latter had been rougnly treated bv some rowdy young men. The little fellow dropped one of bis drum-sticks upon the floor and the de ceased stooped to pick it up, and in doing so hap pened to touch old Mr. Stlnsman; Instantly the prisoner plunged a knife into the abdomen of the deceased and ran ont. when the commonwealth orrerea to prove the dvlns declarations of the deceased, thev had shown only that he bad expressed himself as hopeless of recovery and had asked for a physician. Counsel for defense made strong objection to tbe'admissl bluty of the evidence, arguing tnat this wish for a physician proved conclusively that the deceased had not made up his miud that his death was approaoh lag, but that he still clung to life, and hoped that the doctor would save him : that though he may at tbe time of making the declaration have been under the apprehension oi speeuy aeatn, yet he subse quently believed be coma recover, and unless his apprehension of death was a continuing one his declaration was not evidence. The Court sustained the objection turns made, and ruled that, though 11 were shown the deceased be lieved it prooame tnat nis aissoiuuon was near, vet unless It was first established that he made the de claration uader the firm conviction that death was imminent, suca declaration was not admissible. The Commonwealth supplied this defect by proving that Immediately before making his state ment he naa soia ne tnougui every moment would l . & hi.

Mr. Sbeppard then addressed the Court, saying that no exception to the course of the trial had beeu made by the prisoner's counsel, and as he saw no good reason for delay, ne tnereiore moved ior judg ment urjon the verdict. judge Allison aaureesea tne prisoner oneny upon the gravity of his crime and the merciful turn bis case had taken, saying that if, upon tbe facts then before tbe Court and Jury, a verdict or murder la the first degree had been rendered, the Court weuld not nave felt at liberty to icteriere witn it The law had not been strained against mm. but had spared bis life.

The only objection to it . was that it did not go far enoughs It helpeci the ship. 1 HA 1 builder, but did not help the ship-owner. How should J ?t' American shipping be protected)1 All ether interesta bad received fnU protection from Congress. All the other . t .! I interesta had advocatea on tha floor of the House, bnt, . ; bottom of them ail , had no protection. Ilia proposition ' ' waa to tut on dinerenttai amies on goods imported in Amerissn bottom a. A difference of M per cent, on tariff, rates it imported in American wooden ahips and twenty five per cent, if ia Amsxioan . Iron Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal, because with those j -nj .!! Oovemmenta the reciprocal duties on goods atoedonlaw 1 t . and not on treaty, and where treaties on the subject did "' 1 H( exist they could be terminated by notice in twelve ');'',' mouths. -Ill effect would be that the whole carrying trade would be at one done in American ships, and every '1 L' shipyard and rolling miU in the country would be set in motion. Aa to the objection that other nations would rev. taliate, he oeuld only say ha wished to Ud they sronlsU ipa. 'I hat would apply at one to Ureas Tbe country waasunering from overtrading. II there was a wall of lire between thia and other nations it would b better for the prosperity of tbe oonntiy, because the coun try now imported more tnan it exoortea. Mr. Lynch suggested that if that policy war adopted American vessels might D'lag in tne imports Dut wenia hsve to go bask in ballast, and foreign vessels would take off our sx ports and have to 00 me back to this country ia ' ballast, thereby doubling freights aad inoreaaixg arises. Mr. Butler sopHed to that objection, and aaid that evea ' if there were force in it it would be for th benefit of .' shipping, wMch weuld have to be doubled. As a rule, Great Britain did tbe carrying trade for the world. Thi proposition of his, this assertion of A marl oaa ideas, thi exhibition of American statamnship, this promulgation f American power wonld take from Great Britain what that natiea had taken from the United States by her Rebel pnvsteera, so that there was poeti as well as statesmanlike justice in it, - " Mr. (lalkin, a member ef the Select Committee, ad dressed toe House in advocacy of th bill, referring at length to the doings f the committee, and to aha state ments made before it. showing that the true wai te buUd up American navigation i at uresis wis net by buyiag foreign built abipa, bat by encouraging to building of abipa at home. That interest we not local, an hie oei lesgu(Mr. Wood) aaid it waa. It was sites Jed all ever tbe land, from Maine to Oregon, and aa every other in terest bad been prnteoted, he did not aee why that Inter oat should not also be protested.
