Williams, Re •lican nominee for Senator, will have a jurity of 2,000 votes. On the State offi s thus far received, the returns show hut Ie variation in tlie number of votes east each candidate. Only a few votes as yet e been thrown for Kelly and none for tlie diibitinn candidates. Uduiglit.—The ligures now at hand from side tlie cities of New Yolk and Brooklyn cate that Cornell will come to Harlem k with a plurality of at least «5,000, agai list ich Robinson lias about 12,000 in New York city, and about 10,000 In Brooklyn. The Democratic State ticket other than Governor Robinson Is thought to be elected by 15,000 majority. Both branches of the Legislature are Republican. The World claims the election of Potter and the remainder of the Democratic State ticket by 15,000 majority. The total vote of the city is as follows : Cornell, 45,010 ; Robinson, 58,548 ; Kelly, 42, 136 ; Lieut. Governor—Hoskins, 49,661, Pot ter, 95,513. Albany, Nov. 5.—The Evening Journal says the State is in doubt—25 Republicans in the Senate and forty Republican majority in the House. New York, Nov. 5.—The Express (Tam many) says : The returns thus far indicate the defeat of Robinson by at least 30,000, and the election of the rest of the Democratic State ticket by a small majority. A late dispatch from Albany to the Com mercial Advertiser says that excitement is growing there from the fact that it is believed that with the exception of Potter the Repub lican State ticket is elected. Opinions are prevalent that many Kelly Democrats did not vote tlie entire Slate ticket, and they say that when the full returns are in, it will be found that outside of Lieutenant Governor the other candidates have been saved. New York, Nov. 6.— In regard to the yote oil State ticket, the Herald says : "Another day has passed, the third since election, with out settling tlie fate of any officer on the gen eral State ticket except Governor. The most that can lie said is that the voting runs unu sually dose in the case of every one of them, and that the probabilities still favor Die suc cess of most of the Democratic candidates." Tlie Sun estimates Cornell's plurality at 3,850, and Potter's majority at 4,239. The World says : "The most authentic returns received at the World office elect Mr. Potter by from 5,000 to 10,000 majority. Mr. Seymour, tlie candidate for State Engineer, is elected by a still larger majority. There appears to he no doubt of the success of Mr. Beach for Secretary of State, and of Maekin for State Treasurer. Tammany cut the city vote for Mr. Olcott, for Comptroller, and for Mr. Schoonraaker, for Attorney General, so extensively as to reduce their majorities con siderably, and in these cases it may require the official returns to determine the result." The Times says : "The latest returns from the six counties in this State, while they re duce Cornell's plurality by a few hundred, show an apparent majority for the greater por tion of other candidates on the State ticket over their Democratic competitors. Mr. Jas. W. Wadsworth, tlie Republican candidate for Comptroller, has received several thousand more votes than any of his colleagues, while Gen. Joseph Ii. Carr, the candidate for Secre tary of Slate, comes next in point of majority The other names on the ticket stand m the following order as regards the size of their vote: Hamilton Ward, Attorney General; Nathan D. Wendell, Treasurer ; Geo. Has kins, Lieut. Governor. Mr. Howard Soule's chances of success are not so good, but his defeat is by no means certain. Estimates based on last night's returns give Mr. Cornell 37,672 plurality. Additions to the \ ote of tlie remainder of the ticket are constantly increas ing tue pluralities, tlie present figures indica ting that Mr. Haskins has about 1,100 more votes than Mr. Potter, while Wadsworth has nearly 5,000 more than Alcott. Kelley's vote, as far as received, foots up 70,263. Harris Lewis, tlie Greenback candidate, lias only re ceived 7,182. ALBANY, Nov. 0.—The Argus claims the election of the Democratic Slate officers, but does not estimate majorities. The Express claims tlie election of the whole Republican ticket except Soule. Tlie Press and Knickerbucl ', figures up the returns and says the Democratic State officers night, to have u plurality of 3J44. Ai.hany, Nov. 0.—The V < ning Journal claims there is good reason believe that a part, at least, of the Repu uIn . ; icket, besides Cornell, is elected. 1 he lare.-i figures give Hoskins a majority of 455 over Potter; it also makes Cornell's plurality 42,484. New York, November 0.—Tlie election excitement is rallier greater than before the election. Tlie State ticket, except for Gov ernor, still hangs in doubt, and the majority for either side cannot exceed 5,660 out of the 850,000 votes cast. The Tribune still keeps up its fire of ridicule of tlie soratchers, while the Times denounces tlie candidacy of Cornell which was brought about by Colliding. The World bushes Tammany unmercifully. The Times shows by figures that Cornell inn 35.060 behind his ticket and adds that tlie fatal fully of tlie management which placed Cornell at, the head of the Republican State ticket requires no further demonstration and tlie absolute necessity of making a radical change in that management demands no further argument. Ai.hanv, Nov. 7.— The Evening Journal lias additional returns on tlie State ticket. It figures Potter's majority at 342. It says the returns generally indicate that Can - , Secretary ; of State, Wadsworth, Comptroller, Wendali, Treasurer, and Ward, Attorney-General, all Reptiblleans, are considerably ahead and j plurality at 37,332, and roller's majority at I 4,860 and claims tiie remainder of tiie State officers by a less majority than that of Potter. I probably elected tiv from two to'five thousand I majority ' Thu Argus (Deni.) estimates Cornell's " -...... , V-, ■ • I, I official count to determine which party has secured the minor State officers. The Sun's returns give a majority of 2,162 for Potter. These figures may he diminished by Hie official count enough to elect Harkins, bin the Democrats still eiaim Potter's election and with seeming good reason. Tlie election of Horatio Seymour, jr., Democrat, as State Engineer and Surveyor, seems to be conceded by both parties. Tlie liest that can be said of tin- other candidates is that the vote is in doubt with the chances in favor of Wads worth's election as Comptroller on the Re publican ticket and Ward's as Attorney-Gen eral. Genera! Can's friends urge lie is run ning enough ahead of his ticket to insure Ins election as Secretary of State. Tlie race be tween Maekin and Wendell for treasurer is very close and tlie result is greatly in doubt. New Jersey. Trenton, Nov. 4.—Returns thus far re ceived show that the Republicans of New Jersey have gained on, State Senator and two or three members of tlie Assembly. They will probably retain control of botli branches of Hie Legislature. Nel>r»HkR. Lincoln, Noy. 4. —The indications are that Cobb (Uep.), candidate for Supreme Judge, is elected over Wakelv (Dein.) by 12 000 majoritv. Gannet and Carson, (Reps.) tor Regents of tlie University, are elected. The total vote of the Stale will reach 60,000. The Republican county tick ets an - generally successful. Tlie Greenback era make a very small showing. OMAHA, Nov. 5.—No returns were received here from the State election until to-day. The returns this evening show tl»a.t the Kepubli eans have elected Cobb for supreme Judge by 1,500 majority over Wakelv, Democrat. Cobb carries Douglas county, ^ :500 majority, and in Lancaslt comity, hi. own home, he has 1,870 majority. Regents, Carson and Gannet, Republicans, are elected by the usual party vote. Gannet was cut se verely In one or two counties by persons op posed to his religious views, he being a lib eral. In Douglas, his home county, his ma jority was 600. Carson polls a strong Repub lican vote in his own county, and Omaha gives him 600 majority. The returns for dis trict judges elect Pound in the First, Weaver in the Second, Savage in the Third, Post in the 4th, Gaelin in the Fifth and Barnes in the Sixth ; all Republicans except Savage, whose majority will be 1,200. Lancaster, Douglas and Omaha counties are all Republican. The Greenback vote in the State is trifling, and it is doubtful if that party carries a single county office. The vote of this year makes Nebraska certain for President next year by 15,''HO to 20,000 majority. Pennsylvania. Pntt.ADEi.pniA, November 4.—The indica tions are that the city of Philadelphia lias gone Republican by a larger majority than ever known on a State ticket. Returns from the eastern counties are meagre, but all show Republican gains. Nine wards out of 31 in the city of Philadelphia show a Republican gain of 4,000. Returns from fifteen counties, including Philadelphia, show a Republican gain on tlie State ticket of about 2#,000. Butler's majority in the city over Bair is 3.000. Tlie Republicans elect their county ticket by majorities ranging from 27,000 to 29.000. The majority for Butler is 37,582, with 27 counties to hear from which last year gave a Republican majority of 5,000. The Republi can majority for Butler will not tie less than 45.000. In Philadelphia the Republican gain over the vote in 1S7S is 3,724. Philaddlfuia, Nov. 7.—Official returns from all the counties in tlie State give Butler, Republican candidate for treasurer, a major ity over all candidates of 5S,075. Virginia. Alexandria (Va.) November 4.—This city gives 533 majority for the Debt Payer's candidates for the Legislature, which ensures their election. Norfolk, Nov. 4.— The Readjusters car ried Norfolk by 19 majority. In Portsmouth there is a tie between tlie Readjustee and Funder candidates for the House of Dele gates. Macon, Readjuster, is probably elected Senator from Norfolk district, and Bousli, Republican, is probably elected from Ports mouth district. The negroes voted almost unanimously with the Readjusters. Norfolk, November 6.- -Griffin, Debt Pay er's candidate for the Senate, is elected. Richmond, November 0.—The Debt Payers claim they have certainly elected 47 delegates with equal chances for 5 others, and 19 Sena tor with equal chance for three others. The Readjusters, however, still maintain they have 23 Senators out of 40 and 56 delegates out of 100. Richmond, November 7.—Indications are that the Debt Payers have a small majority in botli Houses, but the vote is so close that the official count will he necessary to positively settle the contest. Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Nov. 4.—Ninety-six towns and cities, outside of Milwaukee, show a Re publican gain of 3,554 over two years ago. Tlie county and city of Milwaukee, with one precinct to hear from, give a Repub lican gain of 2,461 ; net Republican gain in tue State, including Milwaukee, so far, 6,015. Tiiere is little doubt of Smith carrying the State bv 200. Domestic Intelligence. Washington, November 6.— The general results of the New York election being defi nitely ascertained to-day have given rise to much interesting comment among expo: i need political observers at the national capital wliich may be briefly summarized as follows : In the first place it is admitted on all hands that New 'York must henceforth be considered tlie decisive battleground for the Presidential contest, but opinions differ widely as to the right of one party or the other to prognosti cate success nexl year from tlie outcome of this year's election. The Democrats in Washington are unques tionably more cheerful over the news than their Republican neighbors. They point to Potter's majority as positive proof that New York is reliably Democratic. They call at tention also to the fact that the Republicans , persist in making tlie issues in New V k of ; a national character, tlie same as in Ohio, and though the Democrats were defeated on j them in Ohio tlie result in New York shows ; that those issues cannot make the .North stal- ! wartly solid. Tilden has but few friends among Hie Democrats here as most of them are Southern men and for this reason there is a general prediction that Ids failure to carry ; New York for Robinson lays him on the shelf so far as the Presidential nomination is con . . cerned. liiere is, however, a perceptible feeling that his defeat was not so ovenvheim ing as to totally destroy ids grip on things some Democrats who at of the Dem increased by the stau« take n by the party under the lead of Tilden in risking defeat rather than submit to the dictation of a faction whose connection political. There are some Da predict that his strength and Hmt ecratic party in general will be .1. ■ i ... 1 I aé-VCI, 1,,. ilk., mu objectionable to any cratic party in that State, which nAist now be considered essential to Democratic success. Had Robinson been elected Tilden would undoubtedly have easily obtained tlie Presi dential nomination. It is now conceded that Tilden can't carry the whole party strong'll, but that Bayard can. Tilden's friends, how ever, do not concede this, but claim that his organizing abilities and resources, although unable to save Robinson against Kelley's de ft faction, nevertheless saved all the candidates wlio were elected and that he can't, be sepa __ ile inocrat ic factions who brought out every Democrat last •Tuesday, whereas a large number of Republicans staid at home and rated from the party's success. They there fore look for an immense reaction of sympathy in his favor and confidently claim his nomina tion and election next year. Washington Republicans on the other hand argue that there is no possibility for a cordial reunion of New York Democrats upon Tilden or any Presidential candidate whom lie would favor and that in any event short of Conk ling's combination, which they consider out of the question. The full Republican vote of New Y'ork will be polled next year and prove to he larger than this year's aggregate of the votes of both refused to vote for any portion of the tickets which they believed was nominated wholly in Coukling's and Cornell's interest. Washington, Nov. 6.—The Commandant of the Army of tlie Cumberland sends, tliroiigli the associated press, a cordial and earnest invitation to every comrade to meet with them, and aid in paying respects to the memory of our great commander, General Tli nias. at this place^ on Hie^lOth and 20th ......... . .........■"*....... r n '' ...... ' insis., when tiie unveiling of Thomas's statue takes place. A court martial, ordered by the Secretary of the Navy, embracing the proceedings of tlie naval court martial convened on board the U. S. ship Hartford in May last, while off Monte video, was made public to-day by the Navy Department. It appears that Patrick Conly, ordinary seaman, John Kelly seaman, E. J. O'Brien and Henry Mullens ordinary seamen, were tried for uniting with a mutinous as sembly, and unlawfully destroying part of a battery on board the Hartford. Conly was sentenced to hard labor in the penitentiary for ten years, to lose his pay during the term of confinement, and to be dishonorably dis charged from the navy upon the completion of his term of imprisonment. Kelly's sen tence was similar to Conly's, and O'Brien and Mullens were acquitted. Secretary Thomp son approves the sentence. New York, Nov. 6.—W. Paul Stanford, head of the counsel for Major Reno, furnishes a copy of the charges preferred by Colonel Sturgis, from which it appears that Reno is accused of "one fight and three drunks," in stead ut one drunk and three fights. He is accused, also, of being disgustingly intoxicat ed instead of grossly indecent at a trader's house during the trader's absence, and of a fight with Lieut. Nicholson instead of with Surgeon Bulwer. Cincinnati, Nov. 6.— Tlie remains of Gen. Hooker arrived at 9:20 to-night, acconr mied by S. H. Tread« eil and G. R. Sanford, neph ews of tlie deceased; P.

The pro cession will be an elaborate affair. Boston, Nov. 7.— Congressman Wright, of Pennsylvania, and Mureli, of Maine, have been here two or three days taking evidence for tiie Congressional committee on the de pression of business.

Giant an invitation to visit this city and be their guest during his stay. Cincinnati, Nov. 7.—The remains of General Hooker lay in state at the Second Presbyterian church all last night and this morning. Tlie casket rested on a catafalque, covered with the National stars on a blue field. A rich floral pillow from California was placed at tiie head. On the white ground in purple buds appeared tlie following—" California pioneers, we will meet, over the divide." Another floral design in tuberoses contained this inscription : "First Regiment of Massa chusetts Volunteers, Hooker's old brigade." Governor Brown and staff' and tlie Brown Guards from tiie Soldier.,' Home, at Dayton, arrived this morning and will be assigned a place in tlie procession.

Flags on the government and city buildings are all at half mast, and as the procession moved the fire-balls tolled, and at Newport barracks minute guns were fired. At tlie church, wliich was densely packed, Chaplain Earnshaw delivered the funeral Speaking extemporaneously but impressively, and with deep emotion, he said oration. mipiessi „ . - ..... three hundred thousand men had lain do« n lias gone; and to-day we pay the heroic General Joseph ! ood untouched amid the mis- j their lives before the rebellion was put down.

November 7.—-The Coniiner eial Advertiser (Republican) has a telegram : from Albany which says:—Comptroller Al- j learned here to-day relative to the State elec tion. Albany Republican newspapers claim the election of tlie whole Republican ticket doubts as to Seymour. Compt roller Alcott Democrat, said to the Post's correspondent this morning that he hail sent a dispatch to Mr. Wadsworth offering his personal congrat ulations on his election. The Republicans found their hope of the election of tlieir tiekét on the increase of majorities in the rural counties not yet heard from completely. Cornell's plurality remains at ah ut *0,000. The Express (Democratic) says there is enough of the uncertain element in the vote cast for State officers to keep the publie mind on a stretch that may be extended to the con clusion of the State official canvass. Vienna, Nov. 7.—TSic renunciation by the Arch Duchess Marie Christine, "future Queen of Spain," of tier rights to the Austrian suc cession will take place the 18th inst. London, November 7.—Private letters from Constantinople confirm the reports of the extremity of distress in the financial mutters of Turkey., Even the pilgrimage to Mec which has hitherto been provided at the ex pense of tin: government is unable to get any ass i s t auc0 , an event which lias never before „cein red since Hie establishment of the Otto , mll , Empire. j London, November 7.—A large bulk of bullion withdrawn from tlie Bank of Eng! oi ! u -day is for shipment to the United States, Chicago., Nov. 7.— It appears that the trou : i,| e |, et ween tlie pork-packers and their em ployes, who will number in the aggregate a i )ou . thousand, lias broken out' again, ail ,i is ükcly to prove a serious matter to one of tllc jätest industries of tlie city. ......l'lie workingmen's union, to which iirgaui zalitm some 2,000 working men belong, re cently decided to demand an advance of 25 cunts I km - day over last year's puces for all kinds of labor in a packing house. The pro prietors demurred, but yesterday, in order to finish up the work on hand, gave in temporari ly and paid the prices demanded. To-day, however, 21 packers and curers, embracing all the prhviipal houses, signed an agreement to act in harmony in general mattere, and especially to hire and discharge men as they saw fit, regardless of any union or association. Many of tlie packers have shut down entirely, stating that they would not pack another hog this season if they could not get men at the old prices. They claim there is no money in packing at tiie present prices of hogs, and that an increase in expenses would be ruinous. Some firms threaten to remove their business from Chicago. Hogs were a drug in the market to-day, and at Hie close the prospect was not good for ac tivity in the near future. The wages of the workmen are now from $1.50 to $4 per day,[ac cording to tlie class of work they do. Washington, Nov. 7. —At to-day's cabinet meeting, Secretary McCrary read a report from tlie engineer officer in charge of the Mis sissippi jetty works, showing to what extent the depth and width of channel required by law had not been maintained during a por tion of the last quarter. Tlie matter was re ferred to tlie Attorney General, who will de cide whether Captain Eads is entitled to tlie money claimed for that quarter. Baltimore, Nov. 7.—A shooting affray is reported at Leonardtown, Md., on the night of tlie election. There was a great deal of ex citement in town, and a fight between tlie lower elements of the two parties was mo mentarily expected throughout the day. Nothing serious, however, took place until af ter dark, when the Democrats surrounded the Republican flag-pole and threatened to pull it down. It is said Mr. A. A. Lawrence, who had been elected county commissioner on the electoral ticket, made his way into the crowd and warned them to keep off. A rush was made for the flag pole, and in the scramble which followed, tlie report of a pistol was heard, and Lawrence staggered and fell, pierced in the breast. It is not known who fired the shot. Many declared it could not be anything else than accident, and refused to credit the wild rumors into which the affair lias been shaped. Lawrence is very seriously hurt, but may re cover. He is a native of Ohio, and settled in St. Mary's county immediate, y after tlie late war. He seems to have become popular as a citizen and a business man, and is highly re spected by both Democrats and Republicans. He is a Republican in politics, and was elect ed to the State Senate. Was a member of that body in 1876, and elected member of the House of delegates in 1S78. It is rumored to-day that John Denier, em ployed in one of the tobacco warehouses, was shot and seriously injured. Denier is a citi zen of the county and went there to vote. Particulars of the affair are not known, efforts having been made to conceal it altogether.

During the night, five men rode up, entered the store, and while two se cured tlie clerk, tlie others began plundering the store. Iiall and party appeared and de manded their surrender. The robbers fired on the rangers, wounding a citizen. Hall's men returned the} fire, killing one robber, mortally wounding another, and slightly wounding a third. The others escaped. San Francisco, Nov. 7—A Tucson dis pat eh,a special from Fort Grant to the Tucson Daily Star ,says :—Dispatches from Fort Bay ard, N. M., announces tlie return of the Arizona troops and scouts. They had a tight by moonlight with Victoria's hand of Apaches in Mexico, sixty miles below (lie line. One hundred and eighty warriors, were engaged in tlie iigtr . They were defeated and driven from tlie field. Private Cochlereo, Company A, Ctli Cavalry, of Port Grant, Arizona, was killed, and an Indian scout of Lieut. Gute to " I wood's company of Ft. Apache was killed and another wounded. Major Morrow com manded the troops in the fight. The Arizona troops are cn route to their posts, the hostile Indians having been driven out of New Mex ico. were at work in tlie factory, all ln'/seven of whom escaped alive.

New York, November 8. —The indecisive results of the New York election materially increases the probability that Grant will enter the field for the next Presidential nomination. Some of his friends, who have been most opposed to tills step, now think he will he made to believe it essential to continued Re publican supremacy in the nation, though if the Republicans had carried New York by a handsome majority he would have insisted on remaining in private life. It is thought that neither Blaine nor Sherman will openly con test the nomination, but there are some strong leaders of the party who seem likely to try and organize an opposition such as may tend to make Grant hesitate still to enter the field. Their objections are not personal but based on the conviction that Grant's nomination would develop elements of disharmony and consequent weakness in New Y'ork such as would Iiave led to the overwhelming defeai of Cornell except for Kelley's bolt. Ex Senator Fenton and many other anti-Conk ling leaders are sure to be disaffected and luke-wavm if Grant's nomination is to mean the removal of Conkling's dictation, and such disaffection would be amply sufficient to lose the State. Tilden is not discouraged ly Robinson's defeat. lie still holds his grin on the Dem ocratic organization and ii.sists that he can carry New York both in tlie convention and election. He will not give lip tlie contest readily. He thinks there will be no bolt in the Preside ntial election. Bayai d's cbaiices are considered improved by Robinson's -l efeat, because unbiased Dem ocrats are convinced that Tilden cannot cor dially unite his party here even if there should be no open bolt, while Bayard couli^ Besides Bayard's financial views, more nearly than those of any other Democratic candidate, are acceptable to New York financial and commercial interests. In reviewing the New York election results it should he understood that many Republi cans voted directly for Robinson, others voted for no gubernatorial candidate, and many more staid at home because of dissatisfaction with the machine management which notni I nated Cornell. So Cornell's vote is far from representing the true strength of the party it firmly united again. St. Louis, Nov. 8__Tlie bodies of Edward Shelton, Louis II.

It was some j thing doubtless in the same vein that prompt i ed old Mrs. Rothschild, when ninety-seven, ! to say to lier physician, " Doctor, you must [ keep me up for three years more at least ; i; I would be discreditable for a Rothschild to go oil' under par." — Ex. A well known young bank clerk of this'eity was about a year ago presented with a fine Bible oy a feminine relative, who at the same time, enjoined him to read it, for in it lie would find much to his advantage.
