HLAIJVK tO Ji:WEl.L A Nummary of ibe Kranll In Delall Vood Krpubit-su Ualun. Augusta, September 17,?Mr. Blain( sent the following telegram to-day to Hon Marshall Jewell, Chairman of the Nation* al Committee, New York. We have com plete returns, with the exception of a few distant plantations. I give you a summary of the result: In the election of 1S79 the Repnblicans larked 1,015 votes of a ma* jorlty. This year we have made gains in twelve counties, held our own in two counties and in two other counties we have made slight losses. Our net gain in the whole State, as countde, is reckoned at 1,300 as a minimum, and a possible maximum of 1,000, making Gov* ernor Davis' re-election a certainty. It is no longer denied by bis opponents. His majority over Plaisted will not vary much from four hundred. We have chosen three-fourths of the county officers, more than two-thirds of the State j Senate, and a large majority of the House of Delegates,' giving us complete control of the State Government in all its branch es. Our only regret in the failure to re gain the FonTth and Fifth Congressional districts. We succeeded in reducing the majority in each to about one-third of the Fusion majority two years ago, but the Democratic alarm over the result in Ver mont caused the application of arguments in both districts, during the last week, which we could not meet. [Signed] J. G. Blaine. HOST ON UEIJEVEN That DayIn Will be IIIn own .Snrc<-**or? A KeaMonttbl* Relief. Boston, September 17.?Reports from various points in Maine this afternoon still leave the ultimate result in doubt, but there seems to bo no reason to imagine that Davis has not a plurality of the vote. From Augusta comes the latest figures, understood to be from Mr. Blaine, which place* Davis' plurality at about three hun dred. The news from what are known as the French plantations along the border is still meagre and the facta will not be known until the oflicial returns are re ceived. Here the belief is held that Da vis will be the next Governor. THE FIGURES INSURE A PLURALITY. Portland, Me, September 17.?Four hundred and ninety towns give Davis 73,301, Plaiated, 72,588, scattering 338. Da ?is' plurality 713. The email towns to hear from thrpw Ja-t year, Davis 40, Fu sion 435, scattering 80, total }?5. A Fusion plurality of 395, which deducted leaves Davis a plurality of 318. HANDSOME GAINS. Portland, September 10.?A dispatch from Fort Fairfield reports the vote of Perham stands Davis, 50; Plaisted, 24. Last year: Davis, 5; Fusion, 31. It ia found in compiling last year's book that 80 of a scattering of last year was stated but not specified. The missing 80 we may have in the present returns. If so, this gain of 26 would overcome the difference between Davis' plurality and the scatter ing and give him a majority of 5. But this is subject to all errors made in this way of receiving returns, A DEMOCRATIC VIEW 0F THE SITUATION. New Yore, September 17.?The follow ing vm received this morning at the De headquarter* of thp?Natioaal Democratic Committee from Portland; Returns from 428 towns give Plaisted 70,018; Davis, ?0, 098; Republican majority 079. There are tifty-eight towns and plantations to be heard from yet, which in 1870 gave 342 Democratic majority, and will now give more than 1,000. Republican pajmrs pre tend to claim a majority for Davis, and are trying to confuse the returns to assist in the attempted fraud, bat there is no doubt of Plaistf d's election. TAKING U.1E ?0*HI?KICATI?ar WITH ASorup.it, BUI BarnnmM Lot l? Sot ? llnppj 0?e Tbe Democmlle (onimltn^ WHIM # 4'anl-lt Ought lo Hire* H*ll New Yore, September 17.?The Na tional Democratic Committee has issued the following statement relative to the election in Maine: Hbadqactbbs ] National Bexocoatic Committee, > New Yokk, September 17,18S0. J The latest reliable and official returns from 528 towna gives Platated 70.011# and Davis 70,098, \ Republican majority of 679. In the Mine towns in l?7(?theop position vote wits 57,499, Republican 72, 705; Republican majority 15,200. The Re publican loes in 1880 from the correspond ing election in 1870 is 14,507. There are 58 towns and plantations yet co hear from. The relative gain in these towns m com pared with 1876 wonld give us at a low estimate over 1,000 Democratic majirily. The Republican manipulators in Maine are pretending to claim a majority for Nany, and are Undoubtedly trying to doctor the returns to make them bear oat this claim. It remains to be seen whelher they pro pose to bettin in Maine to reinaitgurate the fraud of 1870. For two davs Blaine and the Republican leaders have conceded Plaisted^ election as the Republican party didTilden'sin 1870. The entire machinery for the counting the votes is in the bands of the Republican Returning Board. Usually in pant years it has only required I about two days to ascertain the definite results in Maine. This year, all of the first returns showed great Democratic I gains, and it was only when the Republi cans' manipulators have stopped the re tnrns from coming in and delayed them [until they could be altered, that the changes were made in favor of Davis. As an instance, the county of Kennebec, which usually completes its returns in one day, was helil back until after Thursday, and it is openly asserted by a former Re publican leader, that the returns are kept back for manipulation. Two out of five Congressmen, Murch and Ladd, are conceded. Pbilbrick. the Dem ocratic candidate in Blaine's district, the third, while actnally elected may be count ed out by fraud by a very small majority, under 100. In the Firstdistrict Anderson, the Democratic candidate, is practically in the same position, as the Republicans only claim a majority for Reed of 93, thus showing that out of five ConpreMmen four Democrats were elected. This isthebrnt criterion by which to jndge the popular sentiment of the State. Plalsted is clearly elected and can only be defeated by a fraudulent connt. The only gains shown by the Republican party, or claimed by tbem. are In Democratic counties, inacces sible by telegraph ah'l away from lines of railroads. The best evidence of the fraud proposed to be perpetrated is the fact that while the Fusion ticket shows large gains all over the State in Republican cities and connties the Republican gain is claimed in Democratic counties. ^Signed] Wm. H. Birxum. AHTIKRlNUDINPAnH FKllN MLAIXK Political Power Hrrntrd from the Fn alonlata. Nxw Yobk, September 17.?The Tribunt prints the following: Auocota, September 16. To WhiUlavc Reid: Returns from conntrv towns show steady and uniform gains in tbe Republi can vote, justifying our convats in every respect. In Portland, Bangor, Bath, Bid* defurd, Belfast, and some fifteen or twenty other large towns we met our principal loss by means to which I have already re* ferred. These instrumentalities did not roach the countiy towns, hence Governor Davis has been coming up splendidly within the last thirty-six hours. We now feel confident of his election by tbe vote of the people. Possibly Democratic frauds will be attempted among tne French in the far off Madawaska region on oar ex treme Northeast frontier, over 300 miles from hete by existing routes of travel. The French people are themselves inno cent, but they are made the instruments of fraud by the genuine Anglo-Saxon Democrats of the State-steal variety. .Fraud in Madawaska has often been tried by Democrats in the past. They were signally exposed and rebuked as long ago as 1858 by Hon. James S. Pike, of the Tri bunt, appointed special commissioner by (Jovernor Lott Morrill. It may become necessary to'order a similar investigation this year. The courage of the Maine Re publicans was never higher than at this moment, We have elected 22 members of the Senate against U by the Fosionists, and have the House of Representatives by a large majority. The political power of Maine is permanently wrestled from the men wbo last year dishonored the State. [Signed] James G. Blaixk.

Westmoreland, a prominent citizen, publtahed a card in which he alluded to Joe Brown's appoint ment to the TJ. S. Senate aa a bargain and sale, charged that Bacon has been openly uain* money to secure the support of the negroes for Gov. Colquitt, in the State election. Julius Brown, son of the Senator, replied in a card, and denounced it as a wilful and malicious lie. A cor respondence at once began. Senator Hill and other friends heard of the trouble and did all that was powriblejto settle it, but in vain. Westmoreland was arrested last night and gave $5,000 to keep the peace. Brown could not be found but was seen driving in a dote car riage out of the city this morning, and was promptly arrested And put under bond. To night both parties are out of town, and rumor says they have arranged to meet to-morrow at Sana Bar Ferry, the famous duelling ground opposite Augusta. It is said that they will fight with revolvers ten paces apart, each to fire at pleasure after the first ahot. Both parties assert nothing, but the fight will occur, as neither will retract one word. The affair bus created much ex citement, and is all the talk to-night. Brown's second is Col. J, W. Avery, Colquitt's Private Secretary, while C. H. Williams is acting for Westmoreland. The whole affair is the resnlt of a terribly bit ter feeling engendered in the present State canvass. The Atlantic and Fuel ffc Ball road. St. Louis, September 17.?A party, in cluding two Directors of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, left Vinita, Indian Terri tory, the present terminus of the St Louis and 8an Francisco road, yesterday to make a reconoiaance of the line as surveyed through the Cherokee Nation and other parts of the Territory, thence to Albu querque, New Mexico. This movement indicates preparations for constructing the railroad through the Indian Territory, eaat to west, and the revival of the char ter given by the Government to the At lantic and Pacific Company.

N*w York, September 17.?The Acad emy of Music was crowded to overflowing to-night on the occasion of the Republican mua meeting, and the police were obliged to cloee the doom to keep the throng from overcrowding the corridors. Thousand* went away, being unable to gain admit* tance to the building. Oil the atage among the prominent men were Hon. gdwards l'ierrepont, Judge Co wen, Gen. Anson McGook, Postmaster James, Collector Merritt, Gov. Gorhsm, Gen. Carr, Hon. Thurlow Weed and others. About seven o'clock Gov. Cornell entered the Academy, and was escorted to a private box amid three cheers. Gen. Arthur and Hon Jas. W. Vannam accompanied the Gov ernor. Shortly before eight o'clock Senator Conkling arrived accompained by Hon. Hamilton Fish, Hon. Lloyd Aspinwall, Hon. John Jay, ex-Governor Dennison, of Ohio, and Hon. Levi P. Morton, aud as the*party advanced upon the stage a simultaneoua cheer arose from every part of the house, and handker chiefs and bats were waved in the air. The excitement subsiding, Aspinwsll advanced to the footlights and said he bad been rrqnested to open the meeting by reading a letter from General Grant. [Pro* longed applause.1 The letter has been published heretofore. Hon. Hamilton Fish was elected chair man, and in a brief speech introduced Senator Conkling, who waa greeted with cheer upon sheer as he came forward. After an eloquent allusion to the gran deur and blessing* of the Republic, Sena tor Conkling said: Tne Democratic party is the Democratic candidate and I am against the ticket and all its works. The general issue confront ing us is in itself and in its bearings sec tional. Would that it were not so, but it is so. In twelve States of the Union T1IJC appboacui.no election is to be no MURK THAN A FARCE, unless, as has sometimes happened, it is to be turned into a tragedy. In several Southern States there is a large Republi can majority, but all the Southern States alike, without exception or doubt, are re lied on to count on the Democratic side, and to score one hundred and thirty-eight electoral votes. There is to be no free de bate; no equal rights; no true expression in these States, and yet he who discusses these questions mustbetoldinthecoarae parlance of the day that he "waves the bloody shirt" The Senator denounced the proposed count in some of the Southern State?, founded on the last census, and then reau GENERAL GRANT'S RECENT LETTER, In which he says that "thp Democratic party as now constituted and controlled, is not a fit party to trust with the control of the general Governmet;" and went on to say that the South controla the Demo cratic party, and that in Congress the Southern members hold absolute sway. Should a controversy arise regarding the Presidential election, and the election being thrown into the House, there the vote being taken by States, the South would cast nearly all Democratic votes, and in the Senate the vote for Vice Presi dent wonid come from the same source. In any event of a Democratic success, the Southern pnd of thp Demopratic party ipuat be to the northern end as a locomotive is to a tender, as a horse is to a cart. This is as plain as any truth in gravitation or arithmetic. The Sooth has control of all working committees of the Senate. Qu every committee there is a majority of Demoorats. and of these a majority in all cases consists of Southern Senators. The 6atne conditions prevail in the House. There are 42 committees, the Chairmen of 2^,are from the South. All the commit tees are so constituted that the majority is Democratic, and of the majority more than half is Southern. During two years, whilp tli)s absolute power in both houses baa been so lodged, the existence of the veto power and the approach of the Presi dential canvass have suggested. CttOKNT RKA80NH fOR "GOIKQ BLOW." Many expected bills have not been in- , troduced, many thathavebeen introduced have not pressed, some that have been i "pressed" have ran agsiust such obstinate opposition as to Becure present postpone ment or some modification, bnt whenever the boar strikes that veto power if in Ueniocratip hand*, pat there by Southern votes, whatever the solid caucus decrees will be written. That caucus will be con trolled by those who represent less than one-seventh of the people of the Union, fipd not more than one-fourth of the pro ducing, commercial, Industrial, tax paying and property interest of the county. The Senator read official figures of the Unreau of Statistics to prove this as* ?ertion and said these facts are not read with pleasure, but with deep re gret. The next tonty he discupeed w*a the trade of the Mississippi river, and upon this point be said river commerce on the Southern Mississippi is regarded as a great tie of interest, a great safeguard and as surance sgainst purposes sectional or in imical, and a large foundation for claims set up for Southern influeuce in Rational atTalrs. This theory, as far as it ever was trae, belongs to the past. TBS TRXAD OF MAN IX ALL A0R lias been on lines of latitude, not on lines of longtitude. Rivers and mountains on this contiuent run north and south. Men bridge and tunnel them and move east and west. The construction of railroads has revolutionized traffic and transportation. The great companion and competitor to tbia trans-continental movement is the lakes and the Erie canal. The commer cial forces of seven grest cities have grasped this vast carrying trade and hold, propel and direct it?Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore atthe East,and St Louis, Chicago and Cindnnatti atthe West, command the machinery and nut lets and inlets through which the surplus products of the United States reach the markets of the world, and through which the merchandise of Europe is brought here snd distributed. Could science deepen the^mouth of the .Mississippi river Ull the Great Eastern coald load at the wharves of the Crescent City, the achieve ment would no more arrest or divert the movement of commerce and population East and West than it coald COXTXOL TDK T10IS Of TDK SKA OB CHiVCX TUX COOBSX Of TBX STAXS. Statistics were given locating the hulk and substance of the nation's wealth in the North, and the speaker said, I affirm that the broad issue at this election is whether onr colossal fabric, commercial, industrial and financial interests, shall be under the management and protection of those who chiefly created and own it, or shall be handed over to the ewaj of them whose share in it is small, and whose experience, an tecedent, theories and practices do not fit or entitle them to assume its contract and Conkiing spoke of wiping out the He publican vote in the Sonth by fraud 1 cruelty, deviltry, force and tissue ballot and repeated whit he said in the Senate that the Democratic party would have to day no majority in eitner house of Con ' greet, except for elections dominated and decided by violence and frand. In regard to THE REPUDIATION OF SOUTHERN DEBTS the Senator said, if their own state faith and credit is not inviolate with Southern leaders, what in their hands would be faith of obligations, which were the means, the cause and the memorials of their de feat, but we are told that General Han cock would watch them. An angel must watch a tiger, a child might attempt to divide a beef stake with a blood hound, a Iamb might lie down with a lion, but the lamb would lie inside. The peril of Dem ocratic ascendency in all branches of the governraont is deeper rooted thsn any measure within the scope of existing public questions. Statesmen abroad talk of the bslance of power and of changing the map of Europe. These sayings means not much more than might eerily occur here without RELATING TO THE CONSTITUTION OR TRAN SCENDING THE USAGES OV THE REPUBLIC at least seven new States could be brought in, and in the case of some of tbem a very plausible case could be made. The project would become a high party meas ure. Its success would assure a complete Democratic ascendancy in the nation for a generation at least. It would put the Government, not merely in the bands of the Democratic partv, but of the Southern Democratic party. The course of the De mocracy regarding the Judiciary was freely criticised, and in renn-rks upon the sub ject the speaker said: With the courts rev olutionised to cooform to the reactionary notions and dogmas, prejudices and inter ests. what may be the fate of queetions af fecting the commerce among the several States, revenue, bank and legal tender currency, tasation of Government bonds, the currency in which these bonds are payable, civil rights act, election laws, claims for refunding the war tax on cotton, the amendments and many other grave matters, no man can predict. In tho meanwhile THE ARMY HAS BEEN REDUCED TO A SKELETON and whenever a scare and pretence or a spec of war on the American border or elsewhere, can be discovered or invented the army must be increased or filled up. Filled up by whom? That depends on the approaching election. If Garfield and Artbur.are chosen by the Union men, men alwavs for nnion, to the core. If Hancock and English aud the Democratic party get in, by men who "went with their States." The preteut tariff and revenue laws are deemed very bad by the dominant ele ment of Democracy. They want to change them. They will change them radically whenever the way is clear. There is the whisky rebellion now in eeveral Stat?*, and the officers of the law are powerlesi to suppress it. Recently a warrant wag is sned for the arrest of one Penton. A deputy Marshal went with a posse to exe cute a warrant. In bis report to the Mar shal, be says Penton assembled from twenty-five to fifty armed ipen and set him and the law at defiance, and when cautioned to desist Penton replied "WHEN HANCOCK 18 ELECTED THIS DAMN FOOLISHNESS WILL STOP." In regard to the assertion that South ern war claims are barred bv the Four teenth amendment to the Constitution, Conkling said: There can be nodonbt the way is wide open to all Southern claims which a majority can be found to vote for and a President to sign. The Democratic party has bad possession of oue house of Congress for four years, and both houses for two years. What useful thing has been done or proposed? They have stricken some millions of taxes from whisky and tobaoco. They have attempt ed by revolutionary means to put the ex ecutive under duress, and to cripple the Government in order TO OVERTHROW JO-ft AND TIME-HONORED What else J don't know. It 1b said that the Democracy have reduced appropria tions. I do not so understand it. The claim of economy is no better than a jug gle. The pretended savings which had been purposely left out of the regular appropriation hills, came in as deficiency billa ifter the elections. In the face of these facts, bold and ar rogant as the claim is, the country is told Df the wondrous Democratic economies, and it begins to bo ststfd that the re sumption ot specie payments was brought about by the frngaiity of a Democratic Congress. If a race was to be sailed on a tea of fiction the inventor of this state ment would snrely take tbe cup. The re sumption of specie payments was & trans cendent achievement. Tbp prpdit of it belongs to some P^rty, and to that partY the fntqre generations will look baok witn the greatest admiration. W hoever would know tbe truth abont it can easily do so. Mr. Conkling here gave a history of our finances from the close of the war to the Sausage of the resumption apt, which act, esaid, encountered solid Democratic op position in both nouses, but was passed by Republican votes. Repeal . bills were brought forward aud the Democrat* voted for them separately pad w BipEiUt TO APPROPRIATION SILLS. Meanwhile, the world seeing that we meant to bo honest after all, notwithstand ing the repudiation at tbe South and the threats in tbe North, aud the vicions dec larations in the National Conventions it became easy to negotiate four and a 1mlf and four per cent bonds at par and above par. Tbip was done and the debt has melted away at the rate of two millious a month. The interea^charge has been re duced one-balf, andflfben tbe bonds of a high rate of interest, still outstanding, fall due In 1881 and afterward, they also will be replaced by four and three per cent bonds. This all looks pretty *&ll?veiy well by the side of tbe explcfts of the la*t Democratic administration, Mr. Buchan an's, which increased the debt :en-foM in time of peace, paid 12 per cqpt interest oa Treasury notes, and sold 6 per oeut, t wen v year bonds, for 80 cents on the dollar. It is well to add that during the last Ave years of their congressional control, the Republicans dismissed one hundred and twenty milliona of annual taxes; thirty one millions of tariff duties, and eighty nine millions of internal revenue. Sena tor Conkling concluded as follows: The candidates we support, besides being Re publicans, are LARGELY FITTED FOR THE STATIONS WHICH AWAIT TH1M. Some experience with him in Congress msde me well acquainted with General Garfield. That he baa intelligence, expe rience and habits of mind which fit a man for the Presidential office I think I know. Without early advantages, be years ago achieved prominence among men in public life, and that prominence be baa maintained ever since in all collisions be tween individuals and parties. That be is competent to discharge the duties before him tbere seems to me no reason to doubt. Of Genersl Artbnr it seeme needless here to speak; most of yon know him, and all who know bim know a high-eou'ed, hon orable man, honorable in everv position in which he ever stood, a man to be trusted in every relation of life. If character, popularity and personslitY of the candi date can add strength to the Republican cause, Gen. Arthur will add that strength whsrever he is known, and most where he it beet known.

' | The RepublicAns of this city Are now | fairly alive, and marching clubs are being formed in every ward, beeidea a club of white hat boys, a company of towpath guards and a jnnior company. All this to none for the Democrats. Whoop her ap boys. Already we count those converted from the sinfnl ways of the Democracy by scores. Lawyer Mansfield is among the latest converts. The Republican meeting at the wigwam on next Monday will be addressed by Hon. Samuel Shellaberger, of Washington City. Turn out. Charlie Cunningham, the boy who was crushed by a train of cars at Mingo, last Saturday, died from his injuries, and was buried to-day. I An offer is made to our citizens of start-\ ing a green glass house in this city, the, projectors to furnish $5,000 to $10,000 and | the city to raise it to $30,000. The offer i remaius open until to-morrow night. The Qatriu claims their jollification meeting over Maine was broken up by Republican rowdies. This is good. Dem ocratic meeting broken up by Republican rowdies. The creaking up was occasioned by some one in front of the Herald office cheering for Garfield. The attentive audi ence af 3,000 (?) voters (7) who were list ening to the Hon. J. H. b. Trainer, he of Chicago speech making notoriety in 1864, left the honorable gentleman to speak to the Court Hou?e steps, and congregated in front of the Herald uttioe, where the larg est crowd of voters really was. When an aqdience isn't any more interested than this one showed itself to be, leaving a speaker on occouut of some one cheering for an opposition candidate, it is pretty thin to talk of opposition rowdies break ing the meeting up. The GaitUe has made no remarks on the Democratic rowdies who was arrosted for throwing stenes At the 8herrard Guards procession. The report of the Treasurer for the month of August showed the receipt of $15.630 35 into the city's pocket-book, and the paying out of $1,91283. Ringing the Court Hotu* bell (or elec tion returns has been declared a nuisance, and a stop put to it. That is right. On Monday night people were awakened by what they supposed an alarm of fire, fire men were out, and the oity foots the bill. Heretofore the bell was never rang, ex cept*,in day time, but this was at dead of night. A straw was taken in the "G" claar, high school, and out of 30 boys, 25 were for Garfield. Education and Democracy do not travel theBame road. The United Presbyterian church of this city celebrated this week its seventieth anniversary. Dr. McClure. of your city, was present at the exercises, and delivered a very pleasant address. Letters were read tram several former pastors. Rev. A. Cqlp, of Bloomfleld, and T. B. Coulter, of this city, address a Republican meeting in Richmond to-morrow night. Rev. Culp has been a life lone Democrat, but he has seen the error ol his waya and will henceforth two his greatest efforts to forward the cauie of the right, James A. Gartield and the Republican party. Miss Maggie 8chaeffer, of Wheeling Island, is in the city, the gnest of Mrs. Kiug Bents, of Sjnth Sixth street. We recoxnixed on our streets to-day the face of Fred Husemao, of your city.

Although the crowd is scarcely ao large as yesterday, it is not much smaller. All vote the fair a suoo?v?. Wo early, took a itro)l about to see what was here to be seen. In the Agricultural Hall we found certain sigus that dame nature has bestowed her gifts upon our country with a lavish hand. A large cornucopia was pouring out its wealth of corn, potatoes, pumpkins and,all kindsof vegetables. 8 jme dried fruit needs special mention. Apples steam dried were scarcely changed in color from when first cut. Here, too, we found such delicious golden butter our mouth was made to "ater. The only display of *ro eerie* made by our home grocers waa here. The firm of Cowen Bros, had enter fdue enough to show what goods they opr. In Floral Hall we found a dipplay of auch variety, to mention half would tres pass too much on your space. Wtoould here ftndy the fruits of India from wax fac-cimilin* brought by Miss Thoburn. The handiwork of our own young la dies was bhown in exquisitely wrought tidies, mats, and cushions; sewing ma j chines that almost did the work without hands were exhibited to tempt the money from the pocket*. 0. Tioll St Son had a good display of carpets. The sioglng of Mexart. Kilmeyer, Bow y?r and Lautenslaiger, as well as their in* stmmentsl music,was quite an attraction. The fruits here were the finest apples, peacbc-a, grapes, and plums of every vari ety ond size. Among the farming implements we could but linger to wonder at what could "be done by the ingenuity of man. It seemed as though the farmer would onlr have to drive his horses over his fields with thes? newly improved machineries and his work was doaa. Particularly we noticed a corn cultivator made of ipnng steel, which would plow several rows at once. ? Oo tho afternoon the Intereat was cen tred in the ring where the races were going on. The sweepetakea pacers were Latrobe, Flying Hialoga, and Wild Billy. Lwrobe won all three heau. Flying Hialoga via second Id each. The judges were Maj. J. 0. Alileraon and Col. M. Edwards, ot 'Wheeling; and Dr. 0. M. Monroe, ol Case vine, Harrison county, Ohio. Intermediate trotting waa contested by Belmont, Captain Jack and Fall Hand. Fonr beats ran, Belmont baring been rnled oat on the third beat, nndar a mis apprehension ol reason, as additional heat was ran. The resnlt waa. Fall Hand flrat on fonr beats, except second. Dept.

Result: Mohawk Kate first on the first beat, and second on the other two. Blue Goose second on the first, and first on the . other two. The County trotting race was finished yesterday alter my letter left, Fritt win ning the third heat, bnt was ruled ont be cause of it not being the first time ? for him on the track, ss the conditions required. On the intermediate trotting race the judges were T. 0. Martin, of the Grant House sale Stables, of Wheeling; Maior J. 0. Alderson, of Wheeling, and R. W. Chambers, of Mt. Pleasant, Ohio. On the sweepstskee trot, J. S. Burlev, of Benwood, Dr. C. M. Monroe and Msjo Alderson were the judges. i Dr. Fisher, of Morristown, Ohio, exhib ited Walker A. Woods, reaper, in compa ny with Hoge A Co., of Wheeling, W. Vs. They claim for it superiority in its front cut snd folding arrangement Hoice <k Co. hsd also on exhibition the Oliver Chilled Plow, the Hooeier Grain Drill, the Hooaier Corn Drill and the Stndebakor Farm Wagon. The exhibit of cattle was very fine, also of sheep, especially the fine wool sheen. The display of bogs was slso good. We overheard a conversation in which one was setting forth the grest superiority of stock in this county over that in Marshall county, W. Va, attributing the difference to the good influence of a County Fair, no fair ever having been there. As we close the goods are being removed from the ground. A drunken fight on the ground between two men. one Smith, of Bellaire, snd a Yuas.of Morristown. resulted in the ar rest and locking up of Smith. BKI.UIRE.
