It is remarkable how the Tilden boom grows since it baa been an nounced that another million baa been added to hia wealth by his buc ceaafol operaUona in elevated rail way stocks. The New Orleans Democrat epeaks of Jeff Dam aa "the dietinguished patriot and illustrious statesman." The Democrat is a fair exponent of Democratic aentiment on this subject. As we to to press we learn the Republicane hare carried M by a large plurality. i ne tow ported as follows: Davis, Rep., 000: Smith. Greenback, 50, Garcelon. Dera., 21,000.

The fact that Ewing was a Union soldier is fatal to his pros pects in a party controlled by boutn ern Brigadiers. As soon as Hendrick B. Wright with hia Concessional Committee got to California, he jumped into the arms ot Dennis Kearney, and made speeches to the hoodlums of San Francisco. The Wondering old dem agogue and bis friend Kearney are now buried under a msjority of more that twenty tiousand. When he comes to the surface again, he will jump back into Pennsylvania to be again submurged under a similar Republican majority. It isn't more than a week since that all the Democratic papers in the land were insisting that Senator Conkling was politically dead and damned, but since his appearance at lis Saratoga State Convention, with four hundred leading Republicans of New York standing by him, they have changed their tune and now are howling that the dead Senator carries the State in his pocket and dictated her Gubernatorial and other candidates. Rather lively work that, for a corpse. Tbi Democratic papers are glee fully shouting that Blackburn has an increased majority for Governor of Kentucky over that cast for bis pre decessor. Aa be is undeniably the vilest wretch unhung, the morality of the party may be judged of by its rejoic ing over his success. If be bad suc ceeded in hia efforts to infect North ern cities with yellow feve and small pox during the war, his majority would have probably been one hundred thousand. Speaker "Sam" Randall made a speech the other day, in which he claimed that Providence and a Dem ocratic Congress working together aesured resumption, and that the Re publicans are entitled to m credit in the matter. Now it is a matter of record that General Coffrotb, (Ran dall's Lieutenant), pledged himself to the people of his district to work and vote against resumption, and if he fought on the Lord's side during the extra session, he baa singularly forgotten to announce his conversion. The General has the floor for explanation. Tbi returns from the California election pan out well. The Repub licans have elected their Governor by , over twenty thousand majority, have secured three out of the four Con gressmen, have carried nearly the entire State ticket, and it is believed have a majority of the State Legis lature. California was considered to be in the grasp of the Commune under the lead of Dennis Kearney. There were five tickets in the field, to which is probably to be ascribed the largeness of the Republican majority, but the importance of our success cannot well be overrated. The Communists have been over thrown, the State is securely in Re publican hands. If the election for President next year should be thrown into the House, California will vote for tbe Republican candidate and thus give us a majority of the States, and if we have secured a majority in the Legislature, as present reports indicate, a Republican successor to Senator Sargeant will be elected to the Senate of the United States. Tbi Cambria Iron Company bat leased tbe Connellsville Gas Coal Company's property in Dunbar town ship, Fayette county, ' a mile from Connellsville. The lease is to run for a period of ten years, and tbe one hundred coke ovena of the Con neflsville Gas Coal Company now In operation were turned over to the Cambria Iron Company, and four hundred additional ovena and one hundred and twelve new dwelling bouses are to be built by the Cam bria Iron Company, the Connellsville Company to furnish tbe means, and the entire property, including tbe new ovens and dwelling houses, to revert to the latter company at the iDiraiioB of tbe lease. One tbous- 1 and acres tf coal land are also in ! eluded, and tbe ConnelkvQle . Com j pany is to increase the mining facili , tiea so that one thousand tons of coal can be turned out daily. . This of itself would be a nice little start in the way of .freights for the Somerset and Cambria railroad. The Democrats of "Old Berks" in their convention last week voted down a resolution recommending the rc nomination of Tilden. Is Ileyster Clvmer loosing bis grip, or ia be turning tail on tbe old man 1 It begins to look as if Randall and the Ban's can't deliver the goods. The Democratic party seems to have pretty nearly dropped . out in California. The Republicans carry the State by a plurality of over 23, 000, and what offices they do not secure the Workingmen's party picks Gen. E. C. Walthall, of Missis sippi, aays that be witndraws from the contest for tbe Democratic nomi nation for tbe United States Senate to simplify matters, and in tbe same breath asserts that the Democratic party is now engaged "in a great battle for a free ballot." Tbat bat tle is being fought with shotguns and Independent candidates are shot in tbe back after tbe Yazoo plan. The healthy condition of the iron industry in this country has been brought to tbe attention of tbe officials in Washington in a remarkable way. A number of manufacturing firms declined Government orders on the ground that they have too many private orders abead to undertake to complete the work offered within the time prescribed. ; The Postmaster-General has or dered tbat an actual daily count be or ade in all tbe Pest Offices of the United States, from the 1st to the tth rf November, of all jletters, pack ages, postal cards, Ac., deposited for transmission in the United States mail Publishers of newspapers are requested to furnish Postmasters with the number of papers mailed by them within the limits of the time speci fied. The Republicans of New York nominated A. B. Cornell for Gov ernor ; for Lieutenant Governor, George G. Hopkins ; for Secretary of State, Joseph B. Carr; for Controll er, James W. waus worth; lor Treasurer, Nathan D. Unell ; for At torney General, Hamilton Ward; for State Engineer and Surveyor, Howard Soule. Senator Conkling was temporary and Vice-President Wheeler permanent Chairman. Cor nell had more votes on tbe first ballot than all the others together. The utmost harmony, prevailed, and the party presents a united front A rooLisH story was afloat some weeks ago to tbe effect tbat General Grant would prolong his stay in Asia so as to return home about the time of the election of delegates to the Na tional Republican Convention next year, in order to' make tbe warmth of his reception serve : to start a "boom" for his own nomination. The story got some credence at tbe time from people who knew little of the ex-President's character. Its . last vestige of vitality is now extinguish ed by tbe news that General : Grant is already on tbe aea, homeward bound. He sailed from Japan on tbe 3d, and will reach San Francisco about the 21 sU Oveb four and a half million bush els of wheat were shipped to Europe last week from our principal Atlantic port, and during the six weeka end ing last Saturday our export! of wheat exceeded those for the corres ponding period of 1878 hy the enor mous amount of 9,910,000 boebela. v Tb Laat laalwalaal r. How business is reviving at great manufacturing centers is shown in a statement made by the Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette, that the receipt of bar iron in that city during Au gust aggregated the enormous total of 62,300 tons, the largest receipts on record in the history of tbat city. The revival, when exhibited in such facts, establishes a basis for trade which can venture in any direction, ao far as investment is considered, be cause when the iron business pros pers it is an indication of substance in all the other industries. General J. B. Hood, one of tbe rebel generala during the late war, died of yellow fever at New Orleans on the 30th ult. He was about forty eight years of age, and was a gradu ate of West Point When tbe war broke out he entered the Confederate army aa a lieutenant, ana rapidly rose to a Major General.' : lie was at Chickabominy, second Ball Ron, An- tietam, Fredericksburg and at Get j a. burg, where he commanded a divis ion nnder Longstreet On the secoid dsy of tbe great battle he lost an arm. Rejoiaing his corps when it was sent to Georgia he was at the battle of Chickamauga, where he lost a leg, and was made Lieutenant Gen eral. 7 . .": ' ' "New Orleans has bad seventeen cases of yellow fever and five deatha during the season. She has called for help, and the National Board of Health at Washington has promptly forwarded $10,000 additional aid for the purpose of disinfection. If a city of tbe North, apoa such a slim pretext was to call for outside help, the request would be treated as ri diculous. If New Orleans, compar atively healthy "and prosperous as she is, cannot clean her streets and alleys and back-yards, the sooner she ells out to citixena of a little enter prise the better. The public is will ingly charitable, but they like to help those who help themselves. If the thing keeps on ia this way, Congress will have to keep the National Board of Health in constant session and abundant funds, lest a doxen citizens of tome single city shall take the colicand get well before the funds can reach tbem. Infer Ocean. The coarse cruelty of Mississippi Democrats in heaping obloquy on tbe memory of Captain Dixon after they had murdered him can only bo measured by tbe additional tortures which these unseasonable Blenders must have inflicted upon the dead man's wdo It is tbe overwhelm ing grief of ' oe doubly-stricken wo man wbicb k Ids such a profound pa thoa to her eal en appeal which has toocbed sympathise of a mil lion readers. And yet no ordinary murder, under whatever circumstan ces of cowardice or cm elty it might hare been perpetrated, coold kindle such wide-epread resentment : no merely private grief coold cause such a universal outflow of sympathy. The fact ia tbat tbis crime has a i tiooal significance ; it comes directly borne to every citisen of the Repub lic, and everv voter feels that he has some duties and responsibilities in tbe premises. It was not a typical Southern "encounter," although the orinciDals were men of violence. It was not aimply an evidence of the semi-barbarous condition of society in some of the Southern States, al though it could have happened no where else. Dixon was killed by tbe organized forces which bold the South aolid, which has made it solid by other murders actual and possi ble, which comes to Washington and controla the majority in both branches of tbe National -Legislature, and which our own representatives are compelled to face. General Garfield was right when he said at Biddeford the other evening : "Every vote yon "cast in Maine against the Republi can party is a vote to let the rascal "ity of Southern caucuses control tbe "country tbat you live in, and make "the laws for you." And "rascality" is a mild word to characterize tbe shotgun plan of conducting Southern caucuses. Of course all Southern Democrats are neither murderers or murderous. But none tbe lees is tbe statement troe tbat but for murder and threat, ened murder the Sooth would not be solid to-day. It is a most significant passage in Mrs. Dixon's statement, published in yesterday's Tribune, where she recalls tbe day when her huBband was crowned with laurel for service ia tbe cause of the Democra cy, and when be drew bis bravos up in review before Siogleton and La mar to receive tbe commendation of these leaders. Singleton and Lamar are not exceptionally violent tnea indeed, rather more highly civilized than tbe average Southern Congress man. But here stands both tbesa law-makers smiling approbation up on an armed array of lawless rothans because they had won a political victory with shotguns. Did not these leaders thus formally recog nize tbe potency of this new force in politics, and, t the same time, as- sume a snare oi tne responsiouiiy for all the blood spilled in stilling op position to tbe Democrscy r Single ton is on tbe stomp in Mississippi to day struggling to talk himself into tbe Senate. Does be utter a word of mildest censure upon tbe pastimes of Yazoo? And Lamar in Washing ton is dumb. What can they say when the seats they now occupy in Congress were both bought with vio lence, if not with blood X This is the fundamental reason for the profound feeling aroused by this sample Mississippi murder. It is a representative incident It il luminates the - whole method of Southern solidiflation. It stands for a hundred other murders which have never been heard of, because the vic tims were poor Republicans, instead of eminent Democrats. It calls atten tion to tbe fact that one shotgun in the South has more politics! power than half a dozen Republicans in the North with nothing but a ballot apiece. These are matters of the deepest political importance not only to Mississippi and Mississippians, but to every citizen of every State. They are worth pondering over, and they are just what the Northern peo- 51e are pondering over to-day. laine and Ohio can never be Demo cratic in the face of such a reminder. Tbe South solidified by murder will be confronted by the North solidified for justice. This last outrage has hast ened forward the day, which always comes at last in this country, when enlightened opinion makes itself felt as a conauerinar force, in spite of bayonets and buckshot. JV.

The recent discovery of tbe decomposed bodies of Mrs. Hatte, a widow of 35, her sister, Mrs. Weeks, and a daughter aged 13, in tbe house occupied by tbe former in the village of Waynesville, has caused an intense excitement Mrs. Weeks and ber daughter belong ed in this city, and were on a visit at the house of Mrs. Hatte. Tbe last aeen of them was on the 2Cth of Au gust, and the discovery of the tragedy was not made till tbe 2d inst I he horror of tbe tragedy ia heightened by the fact tbat Mrs. Hatte's son by a former husband was the perpetra tor. This son, Willie Anderson, was about 18 yeara old, apparently a du tiful, bright boy, and being employed in a printing office in the village, was the main support of his mother. He had frequently been ' seen going into the house sine the night tbe murder, must have taken place, and had told every one who asked him . that bis mother, aunt and cousin had gone to Cincinnati. ' r;; :"-r . .: 1 On last Saturday night he came to Cincinnati, hunted np bis father, who is employed on tbe Southern Rail road, and tbe two alept at tbe Gait House.' Sunday morning Willie left tbe hotel, and on yesterday afternoon his dead body was found in a water tank at Plainville, a station tea miles out of the city. He had a pistol in his hand, and had ahot himself thro' the head. During tbe 3 or 4 days that elapsed , between the commission of the crime and Willie's departure be was , on the : streets at Waynes rills as usual, though he boarded at a hotel, and did not aeem agitated in the least, telling all who naked about his mother that aha bad gone away to Cincinnati for s few days. Some suspicion attached to tbe . father, D. R. Anderson, but he is prepared to prove that he has not been absent from the city for three weeka. Hia son left boms on . Sunday, be sup posed, to go back to Waynesville. ... The election was held on McndsJ in Maine. Tbe vote was the heaviest ever cast in the State. San Francisco, Sept 4, 8:30 a. m Scattering returns from all the counties, excepting a few which are not in s telegraphic communication, give Perkios (Rep), candidate tot Governor, 4.675 ; Utena (Dam), 3, 688, and White the Wi-rkiognno's candidate, 2,537. Tueae returns are mosJy fru small oja.rv precinct, and ineluotf but very fuv votes in the large interior towna. Tne Ulesi re turns from tbe city give Perkins I, 572, Glenn 234, White 1,433. It is generally admitted tbat Perkins wil be elected by a decided pluralitv. The Workingmen have probably elected Morrison Chief J usuce, he being: endorsed bv tbe Democrats. They are also likely to elect McKios try, McK :e and Ross Associate Jus tices, ana Thome, Supreme Court Clerk, who are also endorsed by the Democra9, and have probably also received many Republican votes. Stoneman, who is on all tbe tickets except tbe Republican, for Railroad Commisbuuer, is elected. Tbe Republicans probably elect Cone and Phelps Railroad Commis sioners from tbe northern and city districts. With tbe above exceptions, tbe Republicans have undoubtedly elected the whole State ticket, and probably four Congressmen, though the Ibira district is doubifal. Tbe vote for Mayor in the city, as far as counted, stands: Kalloch (Workingmen's candidate), 1,611; Flint (Republican), 1,570 ; Griswold (DemocraM. 6a. . K.allocb's election is general! conceded, tbcugb not as sured. It is expected, too, that the Workingmen have elected the Sher iff, Disrici Attorney (probably) Auditor, ii id City and County At torney. O. ber wiae, it is believed the Republicans have made a sweep cf the city ticket L p to six o'clock this evening the returns f -om precincts in tbe interior in which je count is complete stand as follows, : Perkins, 18,616 ; Glenn, 15,728 ; W nite, 10,138. These fig ures include tbe returns from all counties except half a dczn small outlying ones, and comprise two- htths oi the total vote outside of tbe city. The large towns of Oakland, Sacramento, Stockton, Los Angeles, San Jose, and many others are not included, tbe count there being in complete s ilL From most of these places, b vever, reports to tbe fol lowing cfi-i't have been received : San Jose gives 250 plurality for Per kins, Oakland over 1,000 plurality, and Sacramento 1,500 pluralitv. In Los Angeles, White is leading, Per kins and Glenn about even, and not far behind. All returns seem to em phasize p.rious reports tbat tbe Re publicans ave elected their entire State ticket by a plurality of proba bly not lea than 15,000. Page and Pacbeco are elected to congress, and probably McLenna. Tbe contest id doubtful ''itween Davis and Bar bour. Kalloch for Mayor retains a slight lead of Flint, and the proba bilities aa to tbe remainder of tbe city ticket are unchanged from previ ous advices. It is possible that tbe Workingmen may elect some of tbe Supervisors and School Directors, but nothing definite can be stated on that poiuu Advices regarding the legislative ticket are very meagre, but seem to indicate that tbe Repub licans will baue a majority. Sah Francisco, Sept 4, 8 p. m. Tbe latest city returns foot up as fol lows: White, 7,445; Glenn, 1,531 ; Perkins, 7,468; Kalloch, 8,236; Gris wold, 363 ; Flint, 7,689. LATER. Saw Francisco, September 6. Aboot fifteen hundred ballots remain to be counted in the city, and tbe canvass will probably be completed before morning. Kalloch now has 1,342 majority over Flint, and is elec ted. The Workingmen have also elected the Sheriff, Auditor, District Attorney, City and County Attorney, Tax Collector, Public Administrator and Surveyor. Tbe Republicans elect Asseesor, Coroner and Superin tendent of Schools. The offices of Treasurer, Recorder, County Clerk, Superintendent of Streets and Po lice Judge are still in doubt, with the chances in favor of the Working men'a candidates. Tbe Superior Judgea will probably be about equal ly divided. The Republicans are likely to elect four out of five Jus tices of the Peace. Tbe Republi can ticket for supervisors is believed to be successful, with perhaps two or three exceptions, also five of their candidates for school directors. Tbe Workingmen have probably elected three or f"ur men in doubt. Beers techer and Stoneman, Workingmen, and Cone, Republican, are elected Railroad Commiesioners. There seems to be no doubt tbat tbe Republicans have elected all four Congressmen. The Legislature is still undecided, but if the Republi cans have not a msjority, they will in all probability be able to control both He uses. The result of the State tbket remains as heretofore re ported, though it is not quite certain bow the S ipreme Court may stand. Saw Francisco, September 7. Tho count in this city is not yet fin ished, and the vote is so close tbat tbe offices mentioned in tbe last dis patch as in doubt still remain so. The count will not be complete be fore morning.

An illicit distillery, situated in tbis city within three squares of tbe Executive Mansion and tbe Treasury Depart ment, was seized to-day and tbe operators captured. Tbe building is a three story brick on I street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, and was rented three weeks ago to F. J. Brooks, who occupied the lower story as a provision store. So carefully has the place been watched tbat the authorities ascer tained when it was rented, when the tubs to be used in the business were put in place, who put up the brick work around tho boiler, made the connection trom the second storv with tbe sewer, etc. Mr. Brooks, one of bia sons, Richard F.

Vsn Scback, of Co. F, First Illinois Infantry, was instantly killed by '.falling or being thrown from a train on the Illinois Central. It seems that Lient Van Schack came to town during the af ternoon and took the 8:15 p. m. train going sooth to return to camp. This was a through train, not stopping at Hyde Park, and tbe supposition is that the Lieutenant tried to jump off while the tram was in motion. All that is known is tbat the following train was slowed np ten minutes af ter the express had passed, the en gineer noticing tbe body on the rails. ilis head was split open from tbe frontal bone almost to tbe nape of the neck, and death must have been in stantly. Tbe body was removed to tbe hospital tent and the parents of the deceased telegraphed j for. Mr. r . i .

Shortly after tbe occurrence of tbe bite tbe dog was killed by Mr. Kerns, and nothing more was thought of tbe bile, as tbe wound bad apparently healed op. On Thursday last . Mrs. Kerns was taken ill, and a doctor was called in, who prescribed for ber and left. Shortly after his departure she was taken worse and became de ranged, but at intervals was perfectly conscious of all that was transpiring around ber and would at these times entreat her husband and others to shoot her and thus end ber sufferings. She continued to grow worse, not withstanding she had the best medi cal attendance, until this morning when she expired in great agony. A short time previous to her death her sufferings were so intense tbat it required tbe combined efforts of four men to hold her.

Springfield, Mass., September 4 Lizzie Shepherd, a mulatto woman, is in custody charged with killing the little son of J. W. Smith, by giving it arsenic. After the death of tbe child she was employed iu the family of Mr. D. Farrel, where she gave a little boy, six years old, a glass of milk. The child was taken sick, but prompt treatment saved bis life. Tbe contents of the stomach of tbe Smith child having been analyzed, arsenic was found to be the cause of death. The murderess is a large, active, bright lookiog woman, but at times, when taken unawares, a demoniac, light shines in her eye. She claims to be a prophet, and had predicted a death in the Smith family. The Heg-re Exedaa Ceatlaalaa:. St. Louis, September 4.
