A portion of the leuioTutic press ap
pears to be dreadfully afraid that "the
imud Ariny of the Republic" will ran
the foveniment. About twenty-five
years ago these name Grand Army boys
were the only reliance we had for the
preservation of a government to run.
North Daeota, South Pulota, and
Wanliimrton were carried by the Repub
licans last week, by unexpectedly larjre
inujoritiea. Montana is still in doubt,
the 1 'emocralH claiming the Governor
and a majority of the Legislature, but
admitting the election of the Republican
Congressman.
AoroHDisa to latest advices we have
carried Montana, and thus four new Re
publican States have been added to the
Union. The State Republican Commit
tee of Montana claims both Congressman
and State ticket by 1.500 to 2,000 major
ity, and a majority of about ten in the
Legixlature. We hope this glorious news
will be confirmed by the o Hi rial returns.
Ik'T a sihgle mouth retrains for the
Republicans of this county to perfect
their arranemeuts for the election. We
call uiKin our committeemen and all oth
ers w ho have the success of the party at
heart, to put their shoulders to the wheel.
The ticket to be elected at the coming
flection is numerically a small one, but
every man on it is a tried Republican,
worthy of support, and entitled to every
Republican vote. See U It, friends, that
the vote is out.
Po3tsiastkhGensral Wasamaker has
just been teaching a southern community
a lesson w hich is needed in more places
than this one in the Southern States. At
Laverne, Alabama, the citizens took of
fense at the appointment of a colored
postmaster and destroyed the building
which lie hud secured for an flice, here
upon the Postmaster-General discontin
ued the office. The inhabitants of the
town, numbering about five hundred,
have now to trudge three miles to the
nearest oflice. We hope they appreciate
the situation.
Avd now the Democratic organs are
loudly proclaiming there is no surplus.
That is w hat leading financiers, like Sen
ators Sherman and Allison, told us twelve
months ago, but no Democrat woul J then
admit it The fact !b, the "surplus" was
largelj a Democratic juggle of treasury
figures. It was the result of misrepre
sentation and insufficient appropriations.
The increased appropriation this year
w ill be necessary to make good deficits
in various -departments resulting from
four years of Democratic rule. No intel
ligent voter can be deceived in this mat
ter. Gen. Mahoxc is making it quite inter
esting for the Virginia IVmocraey, as is
made evident by the howls and ugly fa
res they are making at him.
The little General is a fighter from
"way back," and the junk into w hich the
Rourbons have fallen, is quite amazing.
If pluck and nerve count for anything,
lie will win ; although some of his per
sonal enemies, claiming to be Republi
cans, are mustering with the opposition.
The Democratic leaders are evidently
alarmed and are straining every nerve lo
beat him. Their strength lie in the fact
that they have all the election officers in
the State, and can juggle with the ballots
at their pleasure.
Althouuh full returns have not yet
len received of the elections held on
Tuesday of last w eek in the four propos
ed new States, it isadmitted that the Re
publicans have carried all of them for
members of Congress, and have thus ad
ded five to their majority in that body.
This make the membership of the
House amount to 330, with a Republican
rity of eight, and four mote than a
quorum. This is a small margin, an 1
will require both unity and vigilance on
part of the administration forces, but it
will probably be increased by the time
Die House disposes of tLe numerous con
tested election cases, and seats some of
the Southern Repnblicans who were de
fraa led by the nsaal jugglery of their
certificates.
At the elections held last week in the
four new prospective States, constitutions
were adopted, and now all that is neces
sary to make them full fledged States is
the proclamation of the President an
nouncing the fact. Their constitutions
have first to be examined by the proper
authority, to ascertain if in all particu
lars they comply wiih the national re
quirements, and this being certified, the
Presidents proclamation will follow, as
matter of course.
Among other results flowing from
these elections, ia the certain addition of
ttix to the Republican majority in the
United States Senate, and possibly "two
more, depending on the result in Mon
tana. In any event Republican ascend
ency ia secured in both House of Con
grass. Prohibition has been carried in
iuth Dakota by an estimated majority
of from 8,000 to 10,000, and it is claimed
that in North Dakota a majority has also
Iwwn secured in its favor. In Washing
ton prohibition was defeated by a large
majority, u it douUlos has been in Mon

THEpro'jati'iitiesare that tho coming

and not a very profitable one. Every
indication points to a bitter and antago
nistic stand by the l?moerats agsinet all

questions. On the proposed change of
the rales of the House and the law to
rrgnlate national elections, every cbsta
r!e and dilatory mesas, it i openly
threatened, will V resorted to; tnd a
similar course will doubtless be pursued
on the tsriff and financial meusures. No

presumably speaking by authority, that

Grant's Lt;Wlsh.
A letter has been received from Colonel
Frederick D. Grant, United Slat Miuister
at Vienna, rwix-cting the current agitation
for the removal of the body of General Grant
to Washington. Colonel Grant says that his
fjllier, in his last illness, had diwuswed the
.i.i-.i ..f hiii hiiril olace and had indicated
a kindly filing for Sl.Louie.Gakna.lUinoii, 1
and New York. W ben Colonel uram re
minded him that the funeral raiht be made
a public demonstration, in which the nation
should be interested, and in that event
Waciiington would probably be offered as a
burial place, General Grant tore tip the letter
of directions un the subject which he had
prepared, and wrote another, in which he
said he had no expresa preference, but insist
ed that wherever his own tomb might be
l.KKted a olace should be reserved for his
wife at his side.
Among the cHure of a burial place which
poured in from many places at the time of
the Ueoerui'i death, Colonel Grsnt says New
York was selected as the niort durable be
cause it included the guarantee which the
dead soldier had stipulated, and which he
had reiterated in a partin8 ,elteT to Mrs-
Grant shortly before his death.
In view of the authoritative offer of a site
r..r i.mh f,ir the dead General at the Sol
diers' Home at Washington, with the prom
i,t that Mrs.Grant and the family might al
so be buried there, Colonel grent says the
family have been and are now ready to ac
cede to any plan for hil tomb which the na
tion may decide is best, provided, o: course,
that his expressed wioli he carried out
Estimated Wheat Supply.

Simon Cameron's Proposed Map of
the United States.
A writer in the Washington Stmdiij Ct
u contributes the following interesting par
agraph :
"I saw a map in the library of the War
Department which I have often wished to
see again. It was Mr. O-ncron s idea of
what the map of the United States ought to
look like after tlte suppression of the Re
htllion. In it the names of the revolted
States were obliterated. X-jne of the South
ern State lines were retained. Even the
border State lines were rectified. Delaware
was absorbed by Pennsylvania and Mary
land. Maryland also took in the eastern
shore of Virginia ; Virginia as dividid
and the nt.cicnt name darr'ed : nat
ural linrs were adopted tc form new States,
and Louisiana west of the Mississippi was
thrown with Texas to make fourXew States,
but none to come into the Union until 1HS0.
Florida was obliterated. States Uking the
place of Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama
getting a coaM line at her expense. I hope
this map has not been destroyed. It would
be of great interest to the future historian,
as show ing what a politician would have
done with the United Slates if he had the
power. From all that I observed in tin
early days of the war I am convinced that
the revolution did not go deep enough for
Simon Cameron, and that it went deeper
than was anticipated at its beginning by
Mr. Lincoln."
Fair Polygamous Recruits.
Nsw Yore, October 3 The steamship
Wyoming of the Guion Line brought to this
port yesterday 110 Mormon converts, most
ly Germans, from Thuringia. 0er half of
U.em were young firis between the ages of
13 and IS years. The entire lot was group
ed in families, and efforts to discover any
of them who were without a legal or natural
guardian, so they could be detained, were of
no avail.Sope rintendent Simpson, of Castle
Garden, said, however, that he was confi
dent that many of the elder K-ople who
claimed to hetbe parents of the girls were
not related to them in any wiy.
When they came to Castle Garden thfy
were in charge of an elder, an Englishman,
whose name could not be learned, as he
came as a saloon passenper. When he en
tered Castle Garden he became rather offi
cious, and was ejected from the garden by
Superintendent Simpson's orders.
The entire lot, after being registered, were
taken by Agent Gibson, of the Guion Com
pany, to the pier of the Old Dominion
Steamship Company, whence the-sailed for
Xe port News. From there they will take
the cam to Salt Lake City, where they will
have a chance to see what Mormottisui really
is.
She Gave Up Her Husband:
St. Loris, Oct. 5 Back of the papers of a
divorce suit filed here yesterday by Maria
Miller against her litisband is a romantic
story. Louis Miller was married twenty
five years ago in St. Petersbury, .!ssia, to a
lady of nobility and great beauty. Miller
came to this country in the mi. 1st of the
Nihilist outbreaks, leaving hU wife behind,
aud settled in this city. Neither received
any letters after a time because the govern
ment intern pted all mails, and (bin years
passed. The wife came on with her son,
grown to manhood. Tke sou came to St.
Louis and engaged in business. The story of
his lost father got about and he soon found
him, but bis father had been married about
two years and was living in splendid style.
The Rustiaa wile came to St. Iuis and
there was a distressing meeting. The second
wife has, however, nobly .relinquished her
positiou and filed the bill in divorce.

All returns yet received indicate that tie?

more votes, making the niaj-rity for II. C.
Hsr.tbrough for Congress 7.!0 or mom
. There has not been &y doubt to-d.-iy as to
the complexion of the Leyiilalure, the only
point lo be settied being the proportion of
the parties. Returns cutrtcieut to indicate
the result hare been received frura twenty
six of the thirty-one Legislative districts in
the State. There are twenty Republican,
live Democratic and one Indejiendent Re
publican Senators, and forty-two Republi
can aud ten Democratic Representatives.
The election of olScirn and Congressmen
lnSath Dakota cut rather a small figure,
the vote being acknowhded to be one
sided, and the contest f r the location ot I be
capital overshadowed all else. It is claimed
that even votes on prohibition were travel
for vptea on the capital location, and that
the most thorough campaign was as chaff
before the wind when the capital question
was mentioned. Luti this afternoon the
first vote of any size came from the Rlack
Hills region, which was thought to bold the
balance of power and it was so overwhelm
ingly in favor of Pierre that it seems but
ri'ht that the residents of that thriving htt'e
city should continue the jollification which
was started with a will early this morning.
Hzlkka, October 4. The situation this
morning shows that Toole, Democrat, is
probably elected Governor. The rest of the
Slate officers are all Uepnbiican; Senalealso
but the House still questionable. Ib-puhli-cans
claim the Legislature on joint ballot by
three or four msjority, while the Democrats
claim it by seven. All county oflicials are
elected by the Uepuhlicuus. The situation
in general is still unreliable.
Cuicauo, October 5 In reply to a tele
graphic request Mr. II. W. Soott, editor of
the Portland Orfj-winn, now in Olympia,
Washington, telegraphs as follows:
The Washington .Constitution has been
adopted by 1S,i.K) to 2:i,0i majority. Tiie
whole Republican State ticket ha: been
elected by 8,000 to 10,(WO. Of 110 members
of the Legislature in both houses, the Demo
crats have not elected more than fifteen.
The Prohibition and Woman Surfrcge
clauses of the Constitution have lieen defeat
ed. For the State Capitol Olympia is large
ly ahead of all competitors and may have a
majority over all though the better judg
ment is that another ballot will be necessary
to decide it. All of the princifial towns,
Seattle, Tacoina, Spokane Falls, Olynipia,
Port Townseud and Van Couver voted heavi

A Tribute to Valor.
XKWitrnii, X. Y., October 3. West Point
to-day was the scene of somo imposing cere
monies which are destined to become mem
orable in its annals and to mark the occa
sion as a red letter day in its history. The
visit of the International American Congress
and the unveiling of the portraits of Grant.
Sheridan and Sherman were the principal
features. Mr. George W. Childs and his
guests, numbering thirty-five, came in a
special train from Philadelphia.
The special train containing the de'egites
to the International American (Xmgress did
not arrive uutil about 5 o'clock, an hour
later than the tims scheduled.
There was' an immense crowd of specta
tors congregated under the trees on tbe edge
of the plain. The battalion ol cadets urirch-
ed in review before the visitors aud then
passed on to Grant Hall, tbe crowd quickly
following, and in a twinkling the hall as
jammed with people.
A platform had bwn erected at the north
end of the room, where the irtrait9of the
three great Generals Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan hung on the wall, each veiled in
United States Hags. The magninVient paint
ings were the gift of Mr. Geurge W. Child.,
of Philadelphia, to the Military Academy.
A MOST NOTAHLE GATnriUXO.
The gathering was probably the most
notable that has assembler! in many years
at the historic academy. Among the note
worthy citizens of the United States present
were General Horace Porter, General Fitz
John Porter; Collector F.-lnrd of Nov
York : General Hastinjrs, the Secretary of
War, General Sherman and his old class
mate. General Van V.let ; Jude Horace
Russell, Senator Pierce and Wayne M ic
Vcagh, Thess were supplemented by the
distinguished ibreign representatives.
The exercises were opened a ith prnyar by
the Chaplain of the Post, Rev. Mr. Postle
thwaile. The Sujeriiitendeiit then said that
the next step was the unveiling of the por
traits presented to the Acidemy by Mr.
Cliilds. He raised his hand, a tap ufthe
drum followed, the (lags fell from the por
traits and they stood revealed in all their
beauty. The battalion presented arms and
the band played "Hail Columbia," and the
auditors sprang to their fji-t and cheered.
GENERAL PORTER'S I'liE-iEN r ATIOX SI-KECII.
General Horace Porter was then intro
duced and made the presentation address.
After referring to Mr. (' jilds princely gen
erosity in bestowing upjn the Academy the
portraits of her three distinguished gradu
ates "one dwelling in our midst, two dwell
ing in our memories" Ganeral Porter spoke
of the career of tlioe three G .-twals as bsing
"more like a fabled tule of ancient dtys than
the story of American soldicrj of the nine
teenth century." The speaker then eloquent
ly sketched their remarkable performances ;
told how when a visitor to the Academy
three years ago the idea of securing portraits
suggested itself to Mr. Childs ' whose heart
is as large as his purse, and whose generosi
ty dwells in a land which knows uo front
iers" snd concluded thus :
tux rosT or iio.xob is tui private statios.
It now becomes my agreeable duty, in
the name of Mr. Childs. to present to you,
as Superintendent of the Military Academy,
the port raitwof three of her sons who have
borne the highest military titles, as an offer
ing from an untitled citizen, who, in his
living, has verilied the adage that the post
of honor is the privata station. II :s good
works have made him honored in other
lauds as well as this, when? his name is held
in grateful recollection by the many who
have been the recipients of his practical
philantbnpby.
The ad.lress was followed by "The Star
Spangled Banner"' played by the band, tlie
audieuce standing. Superintendent Wilson,
in a short address, acceptn the portraits.
The Secretary of War then make a few re
marks. GEXEL B:)ltR!IAT'sT.-tSSS srcEcn.
General Sherman, who dining all these
ceremonies had sal on the platform with
folded hands and lear-dituuied and down
cast eyes, in response to many calls, was
next introduced. As the General arose the
assemblage broke forth into wild cheering.
He said it was by one of those strange ap
pointed accidents of life that he was p.r
milleJ to bj tin: ole survivor of what
General Tort er had termed the great trio of
Generals of the lute war. ' I was older than
Grant or Sherid ill," he said. Xo three
men ever lived on this earth , different
from each other a- the three men whose
portraits yon SJe looking at. Tuey were
different in ail resivrs save one. and that
was in their devotion to their country of
whatever tulents (Ley possessed. Thrv were
joined together in the true-heart service of
their eon nt ry.
His remarks were miily e.lJressel to
the cadets, advising them to love andstrve
their country, o!ey the laws and tl.ot in j
authority over them. By the country, he j
said, he meant the whole country -no pout- j

We believe that friendship and nut force,

A Dream Fulfilled.
ArcittsTA. Ga., October C Lit night
Mrs. I. Gi'.Ieson, the wife ofa prominent
business msn of this city, suddenly awoke
from her sleep and aroused her husband,
and related to him a strange dream. 8ae
had jmt dreamej about the sudden d&Uli of
her father.
Whiie at breakfast this morning Mrs.
Giileson received a telegram from Kboxviile
Teiin announcing the sudden daalh of her
tallier, Mr. Dave E,stein, which occurred
this moruiug in that C'ty.
STHYCHMIHS i THE CANDY.

any person partaking of it. Further inqui

ant clergymen, .. Dr. Macrae, Rev. J.
Desoyes and R :v. T. J. Deirstadt had each
similar packages sent to their address, the
unmistakable object being ths wholesale
poisoning of tht ra and their faraiii s.
The handwriting seen npon the fatal pick
age is almost like copper plate in its rrgular
ty, and there are some who thhik they see
in it evidence that a woman's band held the
pen.
nis scspicioxs arocsfd.
When Mr. Desoyes received his packet he
hesita'ed about ojiening it, but later partook
of some of the mixture it contained. He de
tected a bitter tasfe, quite foreign to any
swvtmeat, and at once removed it from his
mouth, being careful not to swallow any of
the substance. The candy was taken to Mr.
W. F. Best for analysis, and Mr. Desoyes
was informed that the apparently innocent
box of candy he had received by mail con
tained strychnine in deadly quantities.
In the ease o.f Mr. Dierstadt the package
was delivered by the postman to a little girl,
who handed it to the clergyman's wife. She
thought it was wedding cuke, but on open
ing found it contained candy, and only of
intuitive feeling kept her from giving some
of the mixture to the child,
THOUGHT IT WAS A TRICK.
Mr. Deirstadt thought it might possibly
contain a mild dose of some sickening
mixture intended for him If and that some
of his sermons might have caused someone
to attempt to play a trick on bim. He took
the box to Mr. Best's office, when be learn
ed the facta concerning Mrs. Macraea death
and then the receipt of the box addressed to
himself suddenly assumed a t err i bio signili
cauce.
The Solicitor General has ben active since
the facts became known aud it is not un
likely that a large reward will be given for
the apprehension of the fiend. Yesterday
afternoon Dr. Christie held an autopsy on
the body of the deceased, ami found suffi
cient strychnine in the stomach to cause
death.

A 'River Horror.
New Orleans, Oct. 8.--The steamer Cor
ona, of the Ouachita Consolidated Line,
which left here at 7:30 last evening for tlte
Ouachita Kiver with a full cargo of freight
and a good list of passengers, exploded ber
boiler at False River, nearly opposite Port
Hudson, at ll:4j this morning, causing the
loss of the steamer and about forty lives.
The surviving passengers and crew were ta
ken on board by Captain O'Neil and very
kindly cared for.
The Caroua was on her first trip of the
season and had but recently come out of the
dry dock, where she received repairs
amounting to nearly $12,000. She was bnilt
at Wheeling, West Virginia, seven years
ago and bail a carrying capacity of about 2,
700 bales of cotton. At the time of tbe ac
cident she was valued at iJQ.OUO.
Dispatches from Baton Rouge say that the
Corona stopjied there this morning and took
on some passengers, among them.Hon. L. F.
Mason and Mrs. L. E. W. Robertson. The
explosion occurred when the steamer was
about sixteen miles below Bayou Sara, opK
site False River, and she sank in a few sec
onds thereafter.
Mrs. Robertson says she was wedged in the
ladies cabin with some of the debris lying
across her lower limbs, but was suddenly
released, and found herself floating in the
river. She sank twice, but luckily she was
picked up, and escaped with only a few pain
ful bruises on her limbs. She returned home
on the City of St. Lnuis, accompanied by
Mrs. Mann, of Trinity, Louisiana, who also
escaped from the wreck.
L. C. Rawlins, pilot of the Corona, was
asleep in the texos at the time, of the explo
sion, lie does not know how the explosion
occurred, and was awakened by the noise it
made. Ke was painfully burned on both
hamls.
An Undergrouud Explosion.
Hoi oiiToK, Mich , October ".Two men
were instantly killed to day, another was fa
tally injured, and about twenty were more
or ! hurt at the bottom of the Culumet
and Heele perpendicular shaft. 1 The usual
blasts of dynamite were fired lust evening,
but one failed to explode. At noon one of
the miners at work there accidentally struck
the charge with his pick. A deafening crash
followed, the dyn: mite exploded, send
ing masses of shattered rock in deadly show
ers all around the spot. Olto Flink and Al
fred Eriekson were killed instantly, their
bodies being frightfully torn and tcarred by
the flying pieces of rock. Nelson Boone,
who stood a short distance off, was burled
against a rock and sustained a fracture of the
pine, beniJe oilier injuries. He can not live.
Captain John Cameron had-his right arm
broken in two places by pieces of stone,
both his legs also being cut in several pla
ces. These were the only men who stood close
to the place where the charge exploded, hut
twenty-six miners who were at work in the
vicinity were more or less injured. The
accident took place one thousand feet under
ground.
Will Imitate Uncle Sam.
Ottawa, October 0. It is understood that
the Dominiou Government has determined
to take the cireu'ation of piper money into
its own hands and adopt a national currency
similar to the banking system of the United
Slates, on the expiration of the charters of
the Canadian banks, which terminate in
1SD1.
Legislation will be necessary before the"
charters expire, and it is possible tbe matter
will be taken up during the coming session
of Parliament.
