TICK.KT. 'fiOXTH'tHSTBICT: : :.' : WALTER I STEELE, V of Richmond. - f Election, Tuesday. November 5til THE LATER NEWS FROM THE ELECTIOXS. Our election reports this morning, it Will be observed, are brief and unsatis factory. There is no reason for chang ing the figures made in yesterday's Ob server as to Ohio ; the Democrats have, elected 11 Congressmen in that State to the Republicans' 9 a Democratic gain of 3 Congressmen but have lost the btate ticket by about 10,000,. showing a net Republican gain of something like 30,- ' Tho mirinisrht mesa disDatches of M.AW - X A Wednesday to the Charleston and Au gusta papers, received here last even ing, furnish little in regard to the elec tions that the Observer has not al ready had: but this little indicates that that Democratic gain in Indiana reaches about 14,6oor The Legislature is still in doubt arid it is not certainly known now the Congressional delegation will stand; the Democrats will, however, lose no Congressmen, and it is possible that they have gained one or two. They have 4 members in the present Con gress. The news from Iowa grows more fa vorable. The latest is that the Demo crats and Greenbackers, have elected 2 Congressmen from this State. In the mesent Congress the Iowa delegation is solidly Republican. TTnon noun tins? ui we ascertain that w x the Democrats have gained at least 6 Con gressmen by the Tuesday elections, and that with these elections " perished," as the Philadelphia Times, independent, puts it, " the last hope of the Republi cans to reverse the Democratic control of the next Congress DANUEI10US OILS. The continued frequency of fires and deaths from coal-oil explosions, increas ed by the late hot weather, is causing the papers to demand new safeguards against such accidents. The insurance statistics show that in the United States between five and six thousand lives are lost annually through the use of explo sive coal oils. During the last half of the past month thirteen persons were killed and eleven seriously injured by such explosions. The New York In surance Chronicle says, according to its calculations, 6,864 persons are slaughter ed and 5,808 seriously wounded in the United States annually by this deadly fluid. ' This equals the mortality from yellow fever. It is alleged that laws, Where they exist, regulating the quality of petroleum and its products are dis regarded, and that even these laws do not Afford absolute protection. Prof . C. F. Chandler, in his report to the New Yor board of health upon "the traffic in dangerous kerosene," says : When it is remembered that the tem perature of oil in lamps sometimes rises it above lQd deg. F. thus reaching a tem perature at which even oils which do not emit a combustible vapor below 100 deg. F. would be dangerous it is appa .,. ,rent that 100 deg is too low a standard for safety ; 120 deg. F; would not be too 'high ad a standard,1 and 'its adoption would not add three cents per gallon to the cost of the oil. Many States have laws toumeet the requirements of safety in the use of ex plosive fluids, and doubtless save many lives and much property in their bor ders tiiereby.,'!,'!'hes&tute,ually pro vides forhe inspection of all such fluids imported, and prohibits th6 traffic ex- i ' 'cept under certain; restrictfcms' where the fluid does not stand ' a Required test, say 120 degrees J The result is that oils not coming up to the standard of safety re shippea to-States 'having no .feWkh6 tbeyfmd a mar 'ket and 'are "sold arid .used at the peril of Ufendproperty.0 North' Carolina is without an inspection law, and doubt less consumes much of the inferior and ; 4angerous,stuff,r which will account for a considerable percentage Of fires. Gen eral safety against the danger will not be secured till all the States have en- . acted proper statutes on ' the subject, . . . drivhjw-the destructive article out of ,; ''aeraTu .

The New Orleans Democrat reports the total New Orleans deaths to October 3, in the last four yel low fever epidemics to have been : In 1878, 3,006 : 1867, 2,012 ; 1858, 8476 ; 1853, 8,186. As compared with thelother years, the deaths in the year 1878 are 994 more than in 1867 ; 470 less than in 1858, and 5,180 less than in 1853. In 1853 the fever previous to October 3, had run its course, the deaths for the week end- inc that date being but 75, and for the following two weeks but 77: n Lauyer Bacfcu as an Athlete. New York Sun, 9th. Lawyer Foster L. Backus, dashed into District Attorney Catlin's office in Brooklyn on Monday, and started to penetrare to the private room, when the stout aim of James Cavanagh, the big officer, held him back. "The Gin'ral swore he'd discharge me if I let another soul in," said (javanagn. ' " I must go in : rm his partner and have important business, said Mr. Backus. M Well, you can only get in by showin' that you are a better wras'ler than I am." Cavanagh replied. "Agreed," said the young lawyer, clos ing in upon Cavanagh, and knitting His arms and legs with the sturdy irishman. A wrestling match was begun iwhich raised a cloud of dust out of the carpet. and brought all of the clerks iroin their desks. Gen. Catlin peeped through the door just as Cavanagh rolled on the floor. "That wasn't fair: I was looking at the Gin'ral," urged Cavanagh. "Once more, then," said Mr. Backus, and with an art ful trip he dropped Cavanagh a second time in the dust. "Can the gentleman enter, JimV" asked the district attor ney through a crack in the door. He kin, sur," said Jim, brushing the dust off his clothes. When Mr. Backus came out Cavanagh respectfully opened all the doors, and said, " You won't have to wras'le next time, sir." A Lat k of Worldly Wisd. m. English preachers have less worldly wisdom than some of those of America, whose great popularity enables them to eke out their salaries by lecturing tours. The Rev. C. II. Spdrgeon, of London, declined a gift of several thousand dol lar from the people of his church on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his min istry, and now writes,in answer to the request of a Boston lecture bureau, that he will not visit this country, saying: " I have never had the slightest idea of visiting America. If ever I should do so, I could not preach or lecture for money. Excellent as your services doubtless are to those who need them, they could not possibly be needed by me. I should regard it as an utter pros titution of any gifts L possess if I were, as a servant of God,; : to! use; them to make money for myself in the "way in which lecturers very properly do." 1 Pleasant Frenchman.
