MIUBLICM TICKET.
STATE TREASURER,
SAMUEL BUTLEF,
Of CHESTER.
It in bow Milled, although the
count has not jet been completed and
summed op that the Republican have
made nearly a clean sweep in Cali
fornia, electing tbeir entire State
ticket, except for Supreme Judge,
and reeoriog all four of tbe Oogress
men. Tbe victory is complete and
satiafrctory.
We publish elsewhere tbe horrible
and allocking testimony of Mra.
Chisbolm as to tbe murder of her
husband and children, and jet not
withstanding the fact that tbe guilt
of tbe assassin was thos clearlj es
tablished, and that ber testimony
was corroberated bj other witnesses,
tbe jarj within thirtj minutes after
the case was closed, retarned a ver
dict of "not guilty." The state of
societj existing in the South, and
tbe kind of men who are now con
trolling both branches of Congress
through the Democracy, msj be
judged of bj thia verdict. What are
laws of any kind worth in such a
community ?
Fill official returns have not jet
been received from tbe election held
in Maine on Monday the 1st inst,
but it is sufficiently ascertained that
the Republican victory is a sweep
ing one, and that every branch of
tbe State government passes into the
hands of the Republicans. Tbey
have tbe Governor and both branches
of the Legislature. Davis (Rp.)
for Governor has a plurality of more
than 20,000 over Smith (Greenback)
and 40,000 over Garcelon (Dem.)
and tbe Legislature is Republican in
both.branches bj a decided majority,
thus insuring tbe election of tbe
Governor and of a United States
Senator to succeed Senator Hamlin,
The Democratic party in the State is
nearly wiped out, its vote being only
about one half that of the Greenback
ers. The Republicans made tremend
ous gains throughout tbe State, and
their victory is a magnificent one.
Tbe results in California and
Maine are what was expected by all
observant and reflecting people.
The revolutionary course of tbe Dem
ocracy during the late extra session
of Congress thoroughly disgusted,
alarmed and aroused tbe people, and
there is no doubt of the true Repub
lican sentiment of the country when
it is thoroughly aroused. The bal
derdash about "bayonet rule" and
governmental interference at the
polls deceived no one. Tbe course
of tbe Democratic leaders made it too
apparent, that by fraud and violence
a large portion of our citizen were to
be prevented from exercising tbeir
civil and political rights, and that
their professions of fairness and dec
larations in favor of free elections
and against bayonet rule, meant
the freedom and immunity from
punishment demanded by tbe wind
ler. tbe assassin, and the thief. The
rant about the tyranny exercised by
the general government, is well
understood to be the usual complaint
of the rogue against the tyranny of
the law that punishes crime, and
that the real issues lie deeper and
cannot be covered op or bidden
way with words. Tbe questions of
the daj are: It this a Nation, or
confederacy of States ? Did the war
establish anything, or was it fought
in vain? Are tbe constitutional
guarantees intended to protect all
citizens tn tbeir rights a nullity, or
shall tbey be enforced as intended by
tbeir authors 1
On these questions California and
Maine have spoken, with no oncer
tain souud : Ohio will soon lend the
voice of her Republican hosts to
swell the strain, and when Pennsyl
vania and other States take up the
refrain their will be glorious Repub
lican music in the air from ocean to
ocean.
The Democratic State Convention
of New York met at Syracuse on
Wednesday, of last week, and after
two days of unparalleled uproar and
blasphemy, renominated Gov. Robin
on, whereupon the Tammany dele
gates from tbe city accompanied by
number of delegates from the coun
try districts withdrew from the Con
vention, organized in a separate Con
vention, and placed in nomination
John Hell j as its candidate for Gov
ernor. Thus, there it a complete
split ia the Democratic part in New
York, and it ia divided late two fac
tions Tildenists and Tammaaytt.
Of course, the Republican candidate
lor Governor (Cornell), will be elect.
d, and the entire control of the State
probably pats into Republican bands.
Bat even a more important result
Chan this will like! follow, as with
tisowa Bute divides! Against bim
Sammy Tildea's chances for the next
Presidential nomination are goo 9.
Mr. Tilden is well known at the great
railroad wrecker of the country, and
to bit other feats he hat added the
wreck of his party in New York, for
it it an ndisputed fact that it was
ilia stubborn determination to force
the nomination of hit toolRobinson
and hit refusal to permit any other
oomioation that forced the split Be

discipline of the party forcing Tam
many into bit measures, but for once

came a death struggle and neither
dared turrender. If the Republicans
oew sake good oat of their oppor
Unky, ai overwbelmning majority
vtrch as tbey cm give this fall, will
secure tbe State beyond all peredven
ture next year and settle tbe Presi
dential question.
The dolorous Demccracy are now
insisting that the Republican vote in
Maine was bought and paid for at
the rate of $5, $10, $la and $20 per
single vote. - ; .
Tbe next thing in order ; will be to
get one of their lightning calculators
to ascertain bow much money it eost
on tbe basis of an increase of about
15,000 Republicans votes to buy the
State. There is such a thing as pre
suming too Bach.
Thi Ilarrisburg Patriot sees the
hand writing on the wall, and mourn
fully wails : "The Democratic Con
vention (of New York), has hope
lessly divided co tbe nomination for
Governor aal defeat awem ieevita
ble in that Fiat at tbe coming elec
tion ;' and ibeu ii vici-Hily ida :
"Under these circumstance the De
mocracy of the cjuntry will be com
pelled for the rake ol self-preservation
to seek a standard-bearer elsewhere
than in New York for 1830."
Not so fast ! not so fast ! my dis
gusted friend I Dsrr was nominated
for State Treasurer as a distinctive
Tilden candidate, and be cannot for
go tbe assistance he expects from
that barrel. If you indulge in anj
more talk of that kind there will be a
hopeless division in this State before
the coming election, and more mourn
ing over the inevitable.
Ex-Sehatcr Cosover, of Florida,
believes that that State is sure to be
Republican in 18S0.
Thcrmax is in training as one of
the pall-bearers in Ohio, and Hen
dricks will go over and get his hat
crsped the coming week, preparatory
to the funeral in October. As Gener
al Cary would say, M countrymen!
it is a sad occasion." Inter Ocean
The failure of the French crops is
finally confirmed, and France will be
obliged to buy bout one hundred
million dollars worth of cereals in the
American market, in concert with
England, Germany, and tnvsi other
European countries. Thus our far
mers will not only be able to sell all
tbeir stock, but to obtain a good price
for it, which will all help the Repub
lican boom.
The New York Herald, which
sympathizes strongly with tbe De
mocracy, in speaking ot tbe methods
of the political parties in the Maine
canvass, esys tf the Republicans:
"Tbey paid little attention to tbe
currency question; what they did,
mainly, was to hold op tbe Demo
cratic party by tbe tail, in full view
of tbe State, and when tbe people
got a good look at it, tbey at once re
solved to vote the Republican ticket"
The Democratic seccess at Wil
mington, Delaware, last week is now
explained. Investigation shows that
ballot-box stu filing was practised to
such an extent that between five and
six hundred fictitious votes were
counted for the Democratic candl
dates. The Republicans have begun
a judicial inquiry, which will proba
bly unseat certain of those who have
been wrongfully declared elected.
TnE Republicans having elected
all four Congressmen (a California,
the Democratic majority in Congress
is whittled down to little or nothing.
The House will stand Republicans,
134; Democrats, 147; Greenbackers,
12. This gives the Democrats a ma
jority of one over the Republicans
and Greenbackers, on the assumption
that the vacancy in the Westchester
(N. Y.) district will be filled by
Democrat But the demoralized con
dition of tbe Democracy in that State
makes it possible for a Republican to
be chosen. In that ease the Demo
crats will be in a minority of one.
The Republican triumph in Cali
fornia makes another important
change in the House,' giving the Re
publicans the votes of 19 States,
while tbe Democrats have but 18,
with a tie between the Democrat!
and Republicans in Indiana, and one
Greenbacker, (parson De La Matyr)
holding the balance of power. In
case of a failure to elect a President
by a popular vote in 1880, the choice
will be made by the present Congress,
The Democrats thought tkey bad
made matters sure by turning oat
tbe Republican member from Florida
and seating a Democrat, although
the Supreme Court of Florida, a
Democratic tribunal, had decided
tbat the Republican was elected
They will have to steal two more
States. Indiana can be made Demo
cratic or turning out Urth, but tbat
will still leave tke Republicans 19
States.

make some of you bite tbe dust."
Sinclair came to my husband at about
11 o'clock and said : -Tbey eay you
must go to jail." McLellan, myself,
my eons, Clay, Johnnie and Willie,
and daughter Cornelia accompanied
my husband to jail ; we were cling
ing to him to shield his body ; Mr.
Moseley and Mr. Uveretreet went in
side tbe jail with the party and tbe
door of tbe lower floor of tbe jail was
locked behind them. The family
went up stairs and the door was
locked on the inside; I was sent home
by my buBband on an errand ; I beard
firing as I came back toward the jail;
saw old man M'Lellan fall, pierced
by several bnckshot, behind the jail ;
rushed inside tbe iail and found the
stairway crowded with men ; Roseer
was at tbe top of tbe stairs, and Wm.
Gully trying to break the lock of the
upper door with axes; my daughter
Cornelia, son Johnnie and Mr. Over
street were holding tbe door on tbe
inside ; my daughter's face was bleed

"Damn your soul, I will blow your
brains out if you doa't ret out of the

through the broken lock, which sev
ered my son's band from his arm; tbe
door was here broken open and my
little boy fell, shot through the heart.
Some one inside fired, and Rosser
fell dead ; two men caught bim by
the heels and dragged him down tbe
stairs; my husband was bewildered
at the death of Johnnie; 1 and my
son Clay cairied tbe dead boy down
stairs ; Cornelia and father came
down stairs ; Henry J. Gully came
op and raised bin gun ; I closed tbe
grated door at tbe bottom of tbe stair
way ; my daughter cleeped my hus
band around tbe neck; Gully fired
through the grating in tbe door; my
daughter screamed, "I am shot;"
Jodge Chisbolm opened tbe door and

she died from tbe effects of her
wounds.
Mrs. Chisbolm produced Cornelia's
bracelet, which was broken and
driven into her arm ; also five buck
shot taken out of her body. On be
ing cross-examined Mrs. Chisbolm
stated tbat she begged Rosser by
the God tbat made bim, the mother
who bore him and the wife whom he
loved, to be satisfied with the blood
ot Gilmer and McLellan. lie re
died: John Gully had a wife
who shot any woman who stood be
tween bim and Chisbolm." The de
fence asked the question : "Did she not
know Cornelia died from tbe effects
of an operation," etc. The witness
said she did not know. Ia relating
tbe scene connected with the death
of ber son Johnnie Mrs. Chisbolm
fainted. When asked if Sheriff Sin

one of tbe bones of her leg was in

THE RESULT SUMMED UP.
AuauHTA, September8 Midnight.
Senator B'.aine has just sent the
following oispstch to Senator Allison
of Iowa: The result of to-day's elec
tion may be briefly summed thus
We have carried a majority of the
House of Representatives and a ma
jonty of tbe senate apparently,
though not certainly. We have giv
en our candidate for Governor a plu
rahtv of more than 20,000 votes
over the Greenback candidate and
40,000 over tbe Democratic candi
date. Whether we bave given bim
an absolute majority over both wil
only be dr'.ermined by forther re
turns, and possibly by tbe official
count. On joint ballot in tbe Legis
lature we ebu.ll have a large majori
tv, thus c otrolling the Executive
Councel i -1 tbe selection of all State
officers. Tbe majority against ns
last year wsb over 13,000, equivalent
to 60,000 majority in Illinois, to 30,
000 in Pennsylvania, or to 100,000
in New York. To overcome this
enormous aiajority in an off year,
with no general election pending,
wa, of course, a oifficult task, and
our Republicans feel that tbey have
made a splendid fight with gratify
ing results. J. u. Blaine,

predicted tbat returns coming in from

as a tact. In alluding to tbaaxtraor

property consists almost entirely in
Government bonds, voted the Green

paign just closed.
Portland, Me, Sept 9. The
returns, though not official, show
tbat the House stands 87 Republi
can to C4 Opposition, and the Senate
19 Republican to 12 Opposition.
Ibis estimate gives Cumberland
Sagadahuc, Lincoln, Kennebec. An
droscoggiu, Hancock, Washington,
York, Franklin and Piscataquis
counties to tbe Republicans 19;
Somerset, Penobscot, Waldo, Aroos
took, Oxford and Knox counti9t to
the Opposition 12. There is noth
ing to change the footings of the Gov
ernor't vote at telegraphed last
night
Augusta, September 11. Davis
(Republican) lacks 321 of a majority
on the popular vote. Fifty-six
towns are to ne heard irom.
Later returns from Maine indicate
that the Republicans have 18 mem
bers of tbe Senate to I? of the Op
position, and 89 members of the
House to 02 of the Opposition.
There is nothing to show what the
vote tor Governor is, or whether Da
vis, the Republican candidate, is
elected by tbe popular vote or not
but the overwhelming majority in
the Legislature gives the Republi
can party the Mate. It is thought
that Davis may be elected by the
people.

tne Chair again appealed to them,
and said if they wonld not retire his
only recourse was to clear the boyd
or tbe hall and readmit those only
holding delegates' tickets. Tbe dele
gates most be protected in their
rights. (Applause.) He saw a doz
men men in front of him whom he
knew, and who were not delegates.
The report of tbe Committee on
Credentials seated tbe McLaughlin
delegates (regarded for Robinson)
and tbe Tammanv delegation (anti-
Robinson) frcn New York. The
Irving Hall delegation (Robinson)
from New York withdrew from tbe
contest to avoid giving any cause for
Tammany Hall refusing to support
tbe ticket
The platform was then presented
and adopted. It embraces tbe usual
Democratic platitudes.
E-astus Brooks, in presenting tne
report of the Committee on Kesolu

an exception, they bad received the
unanimous approval oi tne coxmiueo
the ball opened.
Nominations for Governor were
now in order, rue name or liucius

Robinson was presented by an Alba
ny delegate, and was receivec wttb
cheers, hcotings and hissing, while
ironical laughter greeted tbe state
ment that the Governor was person
ally opposed to continuance in official
life.
A Kings county delegate seconded
the nomination of Robinson, saying :
"We will give bim from 12,000 to
13.000 majority (Cries from the
gallerv. 'You haven't got it, and
can't give it!') in Kings county.
Yes we have, and we will record it"
A Tammany delegate nominated
General Henry W. Slocum, and Gen
eral William F. Smith, another Tarn
many delegate, seconded the nomina
tion. Uenerai siocunrs name was
received with tremendous cheering.
Assemblyman Grady, a Tammany
delegate, denounced Robinson, and
said that under no circumstances will
Tammany support his nomination, if
it is made.
After short speeches had been
made in eulogy and in denunciation
of Robinson, a delegate trom Sara
toga named Cowen declared himself
an early and consistent supporter of
Robinson. He was a Tilden man
and a Robinson man, but no man
would ever be allowed to come be
tween him and tbe Democratic party,
and as it was perfectly apparent here
that if Governor Robinson was re
nominated be woita not be elected,
he was not for Jus reoomination.
When he bad heard of the disagree

would take the delegation by the

He asked the Secretary to pot the

put tbe question, and there was an

motion of Mr. Brooks, the Chair an
nounced two tallies bad been kept,
each different from the other. One
tally carried the motion, and the
other defeated it. Under these cir
cumstances he most order the roll to
be again called. Pending the mo
tion, It was modified so aa to provide
for recess of only one hour. ' '
Mr. Faulkner moved tbe tbatr
himself keep tbe oount at the next
caU of tbe roll The Chair Slid bs
would take the liberty of appointing
Messrs. Faulkner and Grumb!eton,
Robinson and ami Robinson, si tell
ers, and would watch them both.
He also said tbe roll would be called
alowly, and each delegate when
named would rise in bis place and
respond.
Roll call resulted Yeas 106, naya
217. so tbe resolution was defeated.

A r-LKA FOR HARMONY. i
David Dudley Field then took the
floor and inquired if there was no
danger, in excitement and passion,
mat tney migbt lose siebt or tleir
duties to tbe Democracy, who ware
behind them. Governor Robinson
waa his life-long friend, but it Tea
indisputable that, right or wrong, he
had lost tbe confidence of a portion
of 'the Democracy. Let tbem uiite
CO ff?e man" who can unite tbe party
and lead them to success. ' ' ' .
Peckham, of Alosoy, moved Oat
that the roil be called, and that stch
delegate name his choice for Gover
nor. (Applause.) I
The Chair said tbat if there was
no objection he woold consider Air. ;
Peckbam's motion adoptsd, and lit
jvas so declared. 1
jyagsiaf, Tammany, called atten
tion to the fait flt tJtJre was a quts-!
tion pending on the molion sale'
jnst before Cowen nominated Jaeobj,
to appoint a committee to devises
plan by which harmony could be se
cured. - i
Peckham morel to lay the motUa
this yeaa and
on the table, snd on
Faulkner (Robinson) here took the'
chair. I
Ccwen claimed tbe Coo vent In'
had already nominated
for Governor, and moved
vention proceed to aoii
tenant Governor.
Tbe chair eaid ii chair bad de
cided tbe question of the nomination
of Governor, and be, occupying the
chair temporarily, would not change
ma. . uvcieiuu. iim v., -.
"no.')
Peckham made a point of order
that the Convention had already or
dered tbe roll called on another mo
tion. The Chair said tbe pending motion
was to Isy on tbe table, which waa
Lot debatable.
Tte roll was then called on the
motion to table the motion for a c m
mittee of one from each coonty, to b
appointed by tbe Chair, to cotuult
upon the sitnation and pretest to tbe
Convention a single name for Gov
ernor. Carried 220 to 155.
Peckham renewed his motion to
call the roll on the nomination of a
candidate for Governor, aod moved
the previous qnestion, but before the
previous question was second a a
motion to take a recess was made,
seconded and obtained precedence.
The motion for a recess was defeat
ed yeas 166, nays 210.
Peckham renewed his motion to
proceed to tbe nomination for Gov
ernor, and called tbe previous ques
tion, which was promptly seconded
Cowan again moved tbe nomina
tion of Jacobs by acclamation. (Ap
plause and laughter.)
Tbe Chair stated the question be
fore tbe Convention was tbe calling
of the roll for nomination of Govern
or. - -
Dorsheimer. who is Lieuteaant
Governor of the State, here rose and
said he had a proposition to make. It
was tbat tbe New York delegation
now withdraw from the Convention,
and that tbe Convention take a re
cess to such time as it shall see fit for
consultation ; and he was authorized
to say the delegates from New York
wonld not obtrude themselves upon
the Convention again. (Cheers )
Peckham replied that, so far as be
knew, tbe Democracy of tbe country
were ready now to vote, and all they
desired was a tair count
Fred. P. Alcott. of Albany, was
here nominated for Governor. (Ap
plause.)
After a brief tcene of confusion,
the Convention ordered tbe roll to
be called on candidates tor Governor.
TAMMANT RETIRES
The roll call had not proceeded
far, when Augustus Scbell rose and
recited tbe earnest fidelity of tbe city
Democracy in all times in tbe past
in sunshine and storm, and announc
ed that under no circumstances would
that Democracy support Lucius Rob
inson. though tbey would tbe remain
der of tbe ticket tbat should be nom
inated here, and tbat tbeir represent
atives in ibis Convention would now
retire.
The New York delegation then re
tired amid mingled cheers, hisses and
hootings and cries of "Grod-bye,
bovs : good-bve Dorsheimer." the
whole convention rising to tbeir feet
and making a scene of great confus
ion and excitement lasting 10 min
utes
When order was restored the call
of the roll proceeded. Two delegates
from Cavuga county, when called,
declined to vote at present on tbe
ground that so many delegates bad
left the Convention.
Ambrose Laugblin, of Rochester,
when bis name was called, said bis
delegation had been instructed to
rote for a new ticket Accordingly he
bad done bis best to obey this in
struction by advocating the nomina
tion of Slocum. but now in view of
the unprecedented action of the Ne
York City delegates in withdrawing
from the Convention to which they
had fought admission, he wonld vote
for Robinson. (Applause.)
Tbe ballot resulted aa follows :
W bole nnmber or votes, din ; nec
essary to a choice, 151. Robinson,
243 ; Slocnm, 86 ; Clarksoi N. Pot
ter. 1 ; Horatio Seymour, 1. So the
Chairman declared Lucius Robinson
to be tbe nominee for Governor.
(Cheers.) .
Cowen moved tbat tbe nomination
be made nnanimons. Carried with
bnt two or three objections.
A recess was then ordered nntu
7:30 to-night
THE TICKET COMPLETED
Before the Convention was called
to order in tbe evening, Col. J. R.
Fellows waa loudly called for to tell
delegates how many rotes Tammsny
Hall will caat J"ib tbe ticket, lie
answered that Tammany ia impotent
to execute the will which . its leader
