ladies in Washington, and-Mr. A.' P.
Gordon-Cuinming is announced. Miss
Eatues is the daughter of a prominent
member of the" Washington bar who

second son of a Scotch baronet rhow
deceased, Sir William Gordon-Cutn-liiing,
and is the nephew of the cele-i
brated African traveller of that name,'
now; dead i also. I met ' "the : young
Scotchman at the Greenbrier White
Sulphur Springs four years ago in
company with some Englishmen, all
of whom had come tcf . the United
States with the avowed purpose of
purchasing, land suitable for stock-.'
raising. One of the number, Mr.
Grant, has since founded the colony
o Victoria, in Kansas. Two: of the
gentlemen bought property iear the
White Sulphur, and one of tneiri, Mr.
Peterkin," nas been very successful!

near by at Lewisburg, Va., and Mr.!
Gordon-Cumming has settled on a;
farm near Sykesville, Md., between!
Baltimore and -Frederick. .. He , has1
stocked it with thoroughbred sheep
fend cattle. An aunt of this young
gentleman, who seems ' to .share the
passion of the family for traveling, is
now in the ;. Fiji : Islands. , She ? pur
poses coming in this direction; in the;

In Cox's Court there was a charge1
of assault against that 61d offender
and police favorite, "John Doe," and;

lumg a witness. Ji- .i ;
Dickson How hard did he shake
the man when he grabbed him? , i
Witness I don't know. Pretty
hard. .. " '
Dickson What do you call "pretty
hard?" ;
Witness Well, it was pretty hard;
that's fl.ll T ean sjiv '

have sense enough' to let the Court
know what you call "pretty hard."

Here the witness rose from his seat;
and, springing upon the astonished
attornev. srrabbed him bv the collar.
and, with a strong, impulsive jerk.

landed him on k the noor. Then : he
gathered ; him up and flopped him
across a ohair then he began to bang
him over the floor, jam him up against
the wall and batter him around over

"Hold on I understand!" shouted
-the lawyer. .. - t
"This . is ; how he fetehed " him,
retorted the witness, giving him
another lift. --'
"Won't the . Court rule out his
answer? I'object," said Mr. Dickson,
catching his breath.
"If you withdraw the question, all
right," said the Judge; and, springing
down from his seat, he collared the

that Charleston county can give more than

the State safe for Hampton and Tilden,

New York, Nov. 8.
The Herald says: '.'Twenty-one States
cast majorities for the Democratic nomi
nees and sixteen for the ltepubhcans. one
State (Colorado) having previously cast its
votes ior the latter; thus Governor Tilden
will be our next President and Thomas A.
Hendricks our next Vice President. They
have received 209 electoral votes against
160 cast for Gov. Hayes and William A.
Wheeler, a clear majority of 49, and 24
more thau necessary for an 1 election.
There is, very little chance of lessening
these figures, and none of changing the re
sult. Our next House of Representatives
will have a Democratic majority of at least
twenty-five. The State of New York was
carried by the Democrats ; by probably
35,000 and the entire city Democratic tick
et was elected by majorities ranging down
ward from 53.000. Among the States looked
on as doubtful, yesterday,. Indiana, Con
necticut, .New Jersey, and probably Wis
consin, were carried for the Democrats.
South Carolina is in doubt, the voting bet
ing very close and victory claimed by both
sides. The negro vote was evidently divi
ded between the two parties in the Southern
States. 1 :

Charleston, Nov. 8; ; j
The Republican and Democratic' Com-
mittees are still widely at variance as to thef
result in thigrStaie; "The former claim;
8,000 majoiity for Chamberlain,' lut with-l
hold details of their, estimate.. The latter'
conceding every county unheard from to
have gone according to Republican predic
tions, claim that Hampton is certainly
elected. The dispute will hardly be settled
'before to-morrow.
A serious riot broke out here about dark
this evening. Broad street, from the court
house to the post office, was crowded with
blacks and whites, all excited, and the
blacks much angered at the returns being
unfavorable to the Republicans. An alter
cation between a Democrat and Republi
can was followed by a general outbreak of
the blacks, who were largely superior in
numbers to the whites. They opened a gen
eral fire with pistols, &c, upon the whites,
taking possession of the street' for a time.
The whites soon rallied and sharp firing
occurred. Intense excitement reigned
throughout the city for some hours. The
companies' of U. S. troops in the city double-quicked
to the scene, dispersed the
crowd, and now have charge of the streets.
Casualties, one negro mortally wounded
and eight others seriously; one white, son
of Geo. H. Walter, a prominent cotton
merchant, killed, and about a dozen whiles
wounded.
Charleston, Nov. 4.
The Ar and Courier's latest estimate
give the State to Hampton and Tilden by
about 3,000 majority. This allows 6,000
Republican majority in Charleston county.
The Democrats have carried the State un
less the Republican majority in Charleston
county approximates 10,000. ;
LOUISIANA. '
New Orleans, Nov. 8. ;
. As yet there are no definite returns, and
matters stand as last night. Both parties
claim the State. - Returns point to Demo
cratic gains in the interior. Elam, Demo
crat, is elected to Congress. This city has
prohably given 10,000 Democratic majority.
New Orleans, Nor. 8.
The following special is from a Demo
cratic source:
CUnton, East Feliciana Parish, 2fov. 8.
Owing to .the failure of the registrar to
fill his appointments, a large number of vo
ters were not registered. Seventeen hun
dred and forty three registered voters were
scored, off, of which Hayes got three and
Tilden the balance. At a poll conducted
under the United States supervisor four
hundred and forty three voters, all Demo
cratic, deposited their ballots in another
box. The Republicans refrained from vo
ting. There : was no intimidation. The
gross number of votes was within 800 of
the number cast at the last election MaDy
Democratic voters were deterred by want
of registration. The whites and blacks-
fraternized,' and all are happy and jubilant
I The above majority of 1,740 shows a De-
m,?Srallc. gaui of 2,531 over the vote of
Prominent Republicans sav that the vo-
ting in East Feliciana is informal, and the.
votes will not be can vassed by the return-,
ing board, the registrar sent there having'
been run ' off and intimidated. ' Other De
mocratic' parishes will be treated in 'the
same way for similar reasons. Charges of
intimidation, fraud, tc , will be made. In
Ouachita parish the Democratic majority,
is 1,087,' a' Democratic gain of '1,915 over
the vote of 1874. when Dulucklet, Repub
lican, received 828 maj irity-

After hearing the news at Republican !
headquarters a crowd numbering several!
thousand formed a procession and marched
to Gov. Hayes residence, j In response to
repeated Calls, Gov. Hayes appeared in the
doorway and after scores of cheers, spoke
as follows:. : . . j
"My Friends I assure you I am obliged
for this hearty demonstration, but it you
will keep quiet about half a moment, I
Will say something to you which I think is
my duty; under the circumstances to say.;
While ou( present advices look favorable,
we must! remember that several of the;
States which have been considered doubt-
f ul have a large territory remote lrom rail
road or telegraphic communication, and it
will naturally take some 'time to receive
definite return s from. them. I, therefore,! i
taae in is can as an earnest evidence of your;
loyalty to the Republican party and your
desire for its success. If late advices should
change the result from what it is an-;
nonned at present, I assure you j shall fre-:
quently recall this visit, during the time I
shall yet live among you, with pleasure. I
bid you good night."
