THE ELECTlON.—Notwithstauding the desperate efforts made by' the Copper- Jobnsonites in the First Congratsional Dis t rict, and in the several counties comprising it, the Union Republicans nobly contested every inch of ground, and carried their tickets by increased majorities. Hon. William Moore, for Congress, has a larger majority than was ever given to any candi date in • the district. He represented the :ine prittkiplesof nationality, and the people endorsed them. In Camden county Edward Bettie, Esq.,-was elected by about one hun dred and fifty increased votes. All the can didates were successful in about the same ratio. The Union party have great cause to be proud of the result throughout the entire State. CAMDEN COUNTY OFFICIAL.—The official returns of the vote at the recent election in Camden county are as follows, showing a gratifying increase: Wm. Moore, for Con gress, 618 majority; Edward Battle, State Stnate, 518 majority; Assembly; Ist district, G. W. N. Custis, 284 majority; 2d district, Mr. Collins's majority, 214; 3d district, Mr. Cole, 195 majority; Mr.. Brawn, .for Surro gate, 561 majority; Mr. Sharpe, for Sheriff, waa on both tickets, and received 3,007 ma jority. One of the constables of the county, who ran as .an independent candidate, re ceived 1,500 votes. A NEW CITY HALL.—The proposition of erecting a new City Hall is again being dis cussed with considerable animation, an i bids fair to culminate in some tangible ac tion by the City Council. A new hall is very much needed, and besides affording convenience for transacting the public business, it will be a great ornament to the city. The present building is inadequate in every particular, and is merely an apology fora City Hall. Nionm Scßoors.—The efforts which were recently started by some influential citizens ~ f Camden for establishing a night, school, are likely to result in accomplishing tha. object. Such a school would* be of great ser vice to the cbildren who may be induced to attend. , It will give them the advantage, a a very cheap rate, of learning much that will be of essential benefit to them in after rears, besides keePing them out of the evi influences of the streets. ANOTHER CIILVERT.—The work of con structing culverts in Camden is progressing with commendable rapidity. Another has been commenced in South Ward, running along Fifth street, which will be completes 1-tt an early day. There are several others soon to be commenced. NEARLY COMPLETED.—The work on the new church of the Immaculate Conception, belonging to the Catholics of Camden, at Seventh and Market streets, is, nearly cotia plated. It is an imposing edifice, and an ornament to that section of the city. SERIOUS A EFAIR.—On Saturday a young man named Philip Young, Bridgeton, while engaged in a sugar cane mill, had his hand caught in the machinery, and it was so hor ribly crushed tbat it was found-necessary - to amputate bis arm afar the elbow. 'HOT PURSUIT OF A Till - BP.-At In dianapolis, two weeks ago, Mr. Hyde, keeper of a livery stable, was called on by a quiet, melancholy gentleman, clad in mourning, who wished a double team, to attend a funeral. He was furnished the double team, and went off. Night came, but the mourner came not, nor did he appear the next day nor the next. Mr. Hyde now became the mourner, and decided to follow the gentleman in black and ascer tain what delayed him so long at the funeral. He went first to Crawfords ville, but found he was on the wrong scent. Taking a fresh team he set out in another direction, driving 81 miles the first day. Getting on the the right track he followed the fugitive closely, but could' not overtake him. He set the telegraph at work aud, in the meantime, pushed on to Kankakee City. The thief pretended to be himself hunting thieves, and kept well ahead. He was arrested by a man named Gowdy, in Kent county, but persuaded Gowdy to ride with him, and while in a dark piece of wood struck' him a fearful blow on the head with brass knuckles, and, as he fell, shot him in the buck. Golivdy, however, recov ered sufficiently to use his 13istol, and the two exchanged several shots, one of which struck the thief, who bolted for the woods, leaving Gowdy in possession of the property, but frightfully wounded. Hyde rewarded Gowdy handsomely,and went home with his team, declaring he would rather have lost the team and given $l,OOO than to have let the`thief escape. . PECJAL 1@ 4131'TICrai.

[From to•day'slCew York.Heread,-"Edttortal.l Important dilastonof Minister_Campbell and General Shernia7n-Wiffixleir. The United States' seta 'ateanier Susque .hanna left this port on Saturday afternoon list for Vera Cruz, detailed to the special; (Any of bearing to Mexico our Minister to , that republic, Hon. LewiseD:'Campbell,. se cinnpanied by General Sherman, who goes as a militaryobserver of events e and to give the benefit of his advice and aid if necessary. Mr. Campbell is charged with the most im ' portant diplomatic mission emanating from our government since the , sailing of our commissioners who negotiated the peace of Ghent with' Great Britain, December 3, 1814. The objects of this expedition comprehend the absolute aban donment of the imperial enterprise of Louis Napoleon, root and branch; the rebognition by France of the republican government of Jnarez, a treaty of peace between the two governments and a treaty between each of, Ahem and the United. States. This is - to be iccomplished, we• presume, by Minister - Campbell, assisted - by the presence of Gen. Shaman, in behalf of. the United States, With Gen. Castlenan and Marshal Bazaine, itt behalf of France, end 'President Juarez and his Secretary of State, we suppose, as the representatives of the Mexican republic. ; The whole creditor this grand undertaking belongs to President Johnson and the Em peror Napoleon, and' may be fairly divided between them. As we are informed, Mr. Johnson more than a year ago became sat isfied that this Mexican imbroglio, if left to the red tape diplomatic correspondence then going on between Mr. Seward and M.Dronyn de Lbuys, would "drag; its- slow length along" to the end of the existing adminis tration without any other results than ad ditional complications, and that, according ly, some shorter road to a settlement was de-- mended. Satisfiedupon this point as we have been further advised, President John eon resolved to take the matter into his own bands, and did win a familiar letter to Napo leon, frankly setting forth the inflexible ob jections of tne people of the United States to a European government over Mexico in any shape, and that the removal of his im perial establishment and the reinstatement of the Mexican republic in the Mexican capital were indisnensable to the mainten ance of peaceable relations between France and the United States. From the receipt of that familiar letter Napoleon began fully to realize the necessity of his retire ment from Mexico, and so began to con sider the wave and means of a graceful compliance. - His object appears to have been a withdrawal so graduates to make no perceptible impression in France or Europe to his disadvantage, and he doubtless hoped that his Mexican failure would be com pletely masked by the glory to France re tniting from his combinations and calcula tions connected with the late war of Prussia sad Italy against Austria and her German eonfederates. The results of this war, how ever, have been so tremendous in enlarging the boundaries and the powers of Prussia, and the prestige of Bismarck at the expense of Napoleon, that the Mexican fiasco in the eeneral account may be treated as a worth less bagatelle. Hence we find Napoleon adopting the wise - evolution of getting out of this Mexicanfi e.sco as fast as possible. Our Minister at Paris, Mr. Bigelow, to this end is invited to meet the Emperor and his new Prime 'Mtn- Leer, M. lioustier, at Biarritz, where the ar rangements are made which have so far been developed in the special mission of Gen.Cius telnau to Mexico, in the hasty retirement of Maximilian, an d in the departure of Mr . Campbell and General Sherman, charge.] with the instructions of our government,for Mexico. It is probable that but for the melancholy consequences of this disas trous imperial Mexican adventure to the amiable and accomplished Empress Car lotta, Maximilian would:have remained in "I be halls of the Monteznmas" to meet General Castelnau, for the purpose of for mally turning over to pitn, as the repre sentative of Napoleon, tLe government re ceived at bis Lands. We may excuse the ungracious retreat of Maximilian, in view of his great at - diction and the disappoint ments and losses of his house, chargeable • o France and Napoleon; but, for our pre sent purpose, whatever the immediate t a uses, it is sufficient that the Mexican Franco-Austrian empire is removed with the Emperor, and that the coast is clear for the settlement with France and the Mexican republic. The settlement contemplated, as we learn, embraces the full re-establishment of the Mexican republic and a treaty of peace and friendship with it on the part of France, in cluding the payment of the indemnities or claims which were the cause of the original armed coalition of France, England and Spain. The United States will stand se curity for these indemnities, and will furnish the republic of exico the funds to meet them, in consideration of the cessior4 to our government of the Northern mineral States or departnients of Cohahnila, Chihuahua, Sonora and Lower California, with the great Gulf of California and all its commercial advantages. But the grand feature of this settlement will be the practical vindication of the Monroe doctrine of European non-intervention in the do mestic affairs of the independent States of this continent, and from this settlement we may expect this doctrine to become the es tablished law in this hemisphere. The administration of President Johnson, identified with this great achievement and with the success of this great American doc trine, will secure a lasting renown in his tory, and there are still some other matters in our foreign relations in the adjustmentof which we anticipate from Mr. Johnson the most satisfactory and substantial results to the exaltation of the United States among the leading nations of the earth. We have no doubt of the complete and crowning success of this mission of Mr. Campbell, in cluding the establishment of the Mexican republic on a solid basis and the addition of countless millions to our mineral and com mercial resources with our new acquisitions from Mexico. [From the N. Y. Times—Editorial.] Caen. eheranan's nission. It is probable that the instructions of General Sherman will not be known to the country until after the meeting of Congress next month. By that time Sherman may be able to depart to our Government the measure of success he has met with in Mexico; so that the Executive will be able to inform Congress and the country at once of the special object and the definite result of thia retraulgabla paighaion. aluit - Iraror •Dorwrity, Minister Campbell, whom Gen. Sherman accompanies as far as Vera Cruz, goes out accredited- to the Republican Government of Juarez, who is now in the State of. Claus bua, but whom Mr. Campbell doubtless ex pects to be able to meet in a more con venient locality. We have no doubt that his diplomatic negotiations-withlhe Repub lican authorities will - be of the highest im portance, both to Mexico and the United States, but they will be of such a character as to require some time for their consum mati6n, and will ultimately come before the Congress of each of the Republics,_ when both of the bodies shall be convened. Mr. Campbell cannot, of course, have any diplomatic dealings with Maximil' lan's. Government, or the Imperial agents. We shall not recognize their authority or ex iStence now, any more than we have ever done. Nor shall we recognize their' right to dispose of any part of Mexico, or to. have any band in the regulation of its future, fortunes. What part, then, is it possible for Gen. Sherman to perform in connection with affairs in Mexico, or the negotiations of Minister Campbell ? The prominence which has been given to the circumstance of his departure, as well es the high distinction and position of the (Ificer himself, give proof that he is more than an ornamental appendage to the Minister, and make it likely that he has duties in a'sphere different from that as signed in the latter. It will be , remembered that a short time ago the Emperor Napoleon despatched to MeXico a distinguished plenipotentiary,Gen. Castelnan, charged with the mission of mak in g all arrangements for the withdrawal ( 1 the French troops, for the abdication of Maximilian, for the settlement of French !aims, and for the regulation of French in terests and rclationa in general. The highest importance was attached to the mission, both in Francs and Mexico. There are many grave and delicate questions connected with 'an event of such magnitude as the evacuation of Mexican territory, and the consequent change of Government—questions of a mili tary as well as a civil character—questions involving American as well as French, inter sets, and in which our GoVernment is no less interested than that of Mexico itself. Some of them—&uch, for example, as that <f the collection on French account, of cus toms duties at Mexican ports—look to a period after Frerch authority had ceased, and others of them, immediately connected with the military incident of evacuation, have bearings which the French alone " are inadequate to treat. It was,, therefore, of great importance to Napoleon, after having despatched his re presentative, General Castelnau, to Mexico, with plenary powers in all the premises, to secure the presence at the scene of negotia tions of an authorized representative of our Government, possessed of authority to dis cuss the questions at issue, and to speak fur American interests, in so far as they might be involved. If, with this view he invited our Government to send an agent who should meet and consult with his own agent, upon the whole mater, in connection also with an agent of the Juarez Government, he would be more likely to secure satisfactory results than if Castelnan acted solely upon his own understanding. The American Government could send nu hater man than Lieut. Gen. Sherman to represent it on such an occasion—no man who, while upholding firmly our own in terests, would be more acceptable to the French authorities. There is no doubt that Napoleon is ex ceedingly anxious to make Castelnua's mission a finality in this whole Mexican Lusiness. He does not wish to return to it 3n any event. He does not desire to let hnvthing retrain unsettled. He does not mean to leave any misunderstandings. He (Ices not wish to have any complications with the Government that shall succeed the Imperial Throne he set up, nor with the Americans whose interests will be so closely Intertwined with the new order of things in Mexico. Gen. Sherman's mission we look upon as entirely pacific in its character. It is not, as has been represented, to hasten the French out of Mexico. The French will be sway quick enough without our hastening. It is not to menace the Mexicans or to sup plement the mission of Minister Campbell. Nevertheless, we expect to learn in a few weeks that it has been followed by conse quences of the highest importance to all concerned, The Memphis Avalanche complains that there is not - in the wide world so much shooting, stabbing and killing as in Shelby county. The "wide world" begs leave to remark that it considers it rather a cause for congratulation than complaint. Swarm threatens Judge Bond with im• peachment for protecting the public pea.2.e in Baltimore. Better not, Thomas. It would not be well to make the people too familiar with impeachments.

Just like Couch and Orr. They talk of introducing chloroform into the New York slaughter-houses. Well, any sort of 'roform will be an advantage to that city.

Nonsii INDIA, Saturday, Sept. 1, 1886 , American readers know verylittle, and long may they retain such happy ignorance,. of what is meant by the statement that a fam ine is raging in such and such a place; but Ibis land of crowded population, defective agriculture, and total lack of adequate weans of communication is often visited by such calamities. In such a wide extended region, where at the very Lest man wages but an unequal warfare in his strife for existence, scarce a year passes by in which some portion of the peo ple do not feel the pangs of unsatisfied hunger. There may be overflowing abun dance in one district, and the greatest suf fering in the next; because in the absence of railroads and even proper highways, the small additional quantity of food which may be imported into a suffering commu nity, will be so much increased in price by the cost of freight and the unscrupulous ex tortion of the merchants, as to be beyond the reach of the most needy. To the southward and westward of Cal on tta, between the Hoogly and Mahanuddy Rivers, lies a populous region, comprising parts of Orissa and the adjacent provinces, which-is at present visited by this terrible scourge, and, in spite of the generous efforts of the citizens of Calcutta and other cities, and of a well-conceived system of relief in sugurated (alas that it came so late) by the authorities, is the scene of untold misery. Imagine a compact population of five or six millions of people, the adult males amovg whom are able to earn as their ave rage monthly wages $2 each, Suppose them to depend almost altogether for sub sistence upon the produce of their paddy fields, which depend for their fruitfulness on the abundance of the annual rains, and which in an ordinary season would afford tcod and seed for the district, but none for exportation. Suppose now the rain of a single season to be withheld from such a distric ; let the price of grain be raised to such a point that the labor of a family for a. week shall barely suffice to procure them !cid for a single day, and can any one fail to see what horrors must be the result? Again, iu other land.; the pity, sympathy and sense of duty of those who in such a region had means of any kind would lead them to the greatest efforts for their less for tunate neighbors; but here, where caste in terposes on every hand its iron barriers, and introduces hatred, suspicion and contempt among those who ought to be friends, the suffering is incalculably increased. It is true that some few of the wealthy natives of Calcutta and elsewhere, shamed by the ex ample of the despised foreigner, and of the spirited Parsee, have come forward, with un wcnted liberality; but still it is true that hundreds have been starved to death who in any Christian community would have been :awed. They died„ because of Hindooistrt, and yet this is the religion which ignorant sentimentalists delight to compare with Christianity to the discredit of the latter. A few months' residence in Orissa in the sum mer of 1566 would have benefited their judg ment. 6o little hope was there of being able to t;nd aid at home that soon thousands of un heppy people were compelled to leave their tic Mee to seek help elsewhere. The roads were filled in every direction with haggard teces and emaciated forms. A Calcutta pa fr of Aug. 16 says: "Twenty thousand pau pers from the famine-stricken districts have anndated Calcutta, and the arrivals are .ckoned at 200 a day." We have on the bighest authority a frightful picture the prevailing destitution, es , i•cially in Cuttack. "It would be difficult to exaggerate the magnitude extent of the calamity. All the accounp I have seen have underrated it. It is diffi cult to obtain reliable statistics as to the mortality from famine and cholera occa.- eie.ned by it, but all that I have seen and beard has convinced me that it has been on a scale of of frightful magnitude. Nor have we seen the end of our trouble. There are still four long, dark months before us, atd though for a month past there has seemed some slight abatement in the dis tress, it is, I fear, to be chiefly attributed to thelarger scale on which relief has been ad ministered.. Nor should it be forgotten that many have been injured in their constitu tions by insufficient and improper food, and ate marked to fall by the first attack of disease." In the four districts of Bolasare, Mid napoor, Sarum and Tirhoot, over 40,000 non laboring paupers were being daily relieved in the latter part of July, bside 7,000 who were able to make some return for food by working. A week later we find 34,000 daily relieved in Bolasare: and Midnapoor alone, while Pooree and Nudda add 17,000 more to the sad list. It is believed that in Cattuck the majority of the people must die before relief can reach them. While 1,000 persons a day were perishing at the single station of Bolasare, a vessel, the Tubal Cain, which was bringing them food, was driven off by a storm and compelled to throw overboard 1,500 bags of rice. But this is not all, and possibly not the worst. The new crop of rice will soon be obtained, but it is likely to add anew source of danger, for, lacking other food, the poor people will devour it in its immature and unwholesome state,and a dreadful pestilence will probably thus be produced. Until the land can be covered with a network of rail roads and canals there seems no escape from the frequent repetition of such calamities, and that day is far distant. T. Times.] AMUSEMENTS.

B.) The sequel of a great crime has just come to light, and it involves considerable mys tery and a great deal of heartlessness on the part of a woman, who deliberately in trigued, either for the purpose of having re-- venge en a woman whom she hated; or for the purpose of securing a large sum pr ma ney, of which two young children were the heirsprospective. The circumstances,- as related by the mother of the two children,. who were abducted thirteen years ago, are , as follows: Captain- Madden, who' was an East India captain, twenty-eight yearsa ago married a young wife in Eag land, and came to Canada with 'a view of bettering his fortunes, although he was then in receipt of an annuity of £6OO per annum. This'annuity,.which cameahroagh his mother, was to - cease at the time of hiss death, and some portion of it was to revert-- to his children from his mother at the time of her death, and she was then considerably' advanced in years. After reachingCanacia the Captain settled near Windsor and there. died. Ilia wife had borne him threenhild ren, two of whom subsequently died, one after being married six years and the other in infancy. One girl, Sarah Jane Madden,. grew up to be ten years of age, but, in the' meantime; her mother had been married - to a man named' White, who• had a sister named Hannah, a virago of the first water. The result of this union was• one child; a , boy. who grew up to . be three • ands half' years of age before the beginning of this, chapter of family history, and a daughter, a. year or so older. Hannah White, then a spinster, was stay ing at the house of her brother, and waswelt treated there, the family having in the meantime removed to SandwiCh. One morning Mrs. White came to this city to do some marketing, leaving her sister-in-law in charge of the house. During: her ab sence Hannah White took the two children, Sarah Jane Sladdon, her niece by marriage„ a girl ten years of age, and her nephew Jo seph H. White, a child three ands half years. of age, andleftwith.them for parts unknown. The mother, on her return, found oat her loss and was for a time inconsolable over it.- She advertised in the principal papers throughout the country, set detectives to work and did everything her means would permit of to find out the whereabouts of her children, bat without success. Time passed on, and the mother gave up in deSpair, after traveling: throughout the country for three or four years in search of her lost darlings. In 1860 a. by some means,she learned that the'woman who bad stolen her children was in Detroit, and she took measures to have her. ar rested. Her efforts were rewarded with partial emcees. and after a tedious law suit she got back the boy, but could not get any trace of her daughter, who had gone with. her grandmother under the following cir cumstances : After abducting the children it appears that Hannah White took them to- Vernon county, Wis., and while there she Ras married to a man named Allen. This marriage was consummated in Bad Axe, in the above county, and she lived there some time, keeping the children with her. Some years ago the daughter, Sarah, who had grown up, learned the where abouts of her mother, and addressed &letter to her at London. C. W. This letter was. received and an answer returned to the effect that her mother would came after her and take her home. Mrs. Allen intercepted this letter, and calling on her niece, who meantime, on account of ill-treatment, bad left her aunt and gone to work for a farmer named Wilson, near Liberty 'Pole, in the same county, drew out the letter and pre tended to read it. But instead of giving the contents as they were, she made up a story to the effect that Sarah's mother was dead and desired her daughter to remain with her (the aunt). Mrs. Allen had, daring the interval, visited her father, who resided. in another part of the State, and induced- - him to leave his wife, after settling a certain sum of money on' Mrs. White,. her stepmother. Mrs. White got the children and started to go South with them, baton the eay White, senior, who was the father of the second husband of the former Mrs. Sladden (who, by the way, has since mar tied a third husband, Mr. Menzis), attacked the woman, and, after,a fight, got the boy. White then came to Detroit with the boy, and, as related above, he was finally given up to his mother. The girl went with r.Ars. White, it is supposed, to Cincinnati. White, the grandfather of the children, came in 1862 to Mrs. White's (neeSladden) house,and after many expressions of contrition was received into the family. While there he attempted to abduct the boy again, but was unsuccessful, and left to return to his own daughter's house in the city, the woman having taken up her residence here, and having obtained a prominent position in a leading church, from which she was after wards expelled as being an arrant hypocrite. Thus far the case was very much mixed up, owing to the intermarriages, and no mo live could be assigned for the abduction bat a spirit of revenge. But since then it has been discovered that the girl Sarah has a legacy amounting to about $3,000 in this country, and is sole heir to a considerable amount of property in England: This pro perty has been accumulating for along time, in fact, ever since the death of Captain Sled den, and she basin law the fall right to it. Several gentlemen in this city have taken the matter in hand, and, having recently got a slight clue to the whereabouts of the long lost girl, have communicated with the police authorities of Cincinnati, and will fer ret out this complicated affair to the end. Mrs. Menzis, who lost her children,resides at No. 402 Macomb street, in this city, with her husband and daughter. and has never, until recently, though born in affluent cir cumstances, had the means to have the mat ter thoroughly. investigated.
