Nine States held elections Tuesday, And the telegraphic reports which came In yesterday morning were brilliant With Democratic victories. It is prob able, however, that accurate ahtT fuller reports may greatly modify these -re? suit But there seems little room to ; doubt the defeat ofx Mahone in Vir ginia, which will be glory enough for one day. The majority against him a n 1 his party is claimed to be rery larcre, even at his home, and in the I w r " county of his nativity. Thursday morning's reports will be more reliable and less sensational, and from these we will make up the news of the week. The election news this morning holds up Democratic beyond our expectation. Virginia, Ohio and Iowa have elected Democratic Governors. Mahone is badly beaten in Virginia, the majority of 30,000 being still claimed. The Nw York Legislature is claim ed to be Democratic on joint 'ballot. Democratic Legislature is claimed for phio. Massachusetts hua gone republican i . ,, i -i.

'That abomination, the Blair educa tional bill, is being talked about again by .he State press. Maj. Finger has gone into print with a significant " what are you going to do about it? " after detailing the educational situation in North Carolina. The Watchman has never for a moment thought of encouraging the demolisher of States' rights, the Blair bill ; such a thing is not to be thought of. That very bill, if passed, would. accomplish what Grant and Sherman failed to do with their bloody armies to wrest from the peo ple the right to control State and county affairs. The North, with its notions of higher Darwinian philoso phy and negro equality in schools, and with its anti-democratic notions of a strong centralized government would hail the passage of this bill as paving he way to conquer the self respect of the people of the South and place ne groes on white folks' school benches. P"r people are carrying a heavy school tax now, which is equally divided with the negroes we must increase this burden rather than encourage the Blair iniquity. Maj. Finger says we can't stand still --must raovp. Well, for us, we move steadily against the Blair bill, and we will have to see the situation a litte different before, we can ask that a y school tax be increased. If the white tax payer did not have to carry the k colored man and brother" in this A T a matter, it would straighten the kinks put of this knotty question in less than a jiffy. As it is, his own race receives but about one-half of the. benefft fleriv ed from the taxes paid. That is equiv alent to -paying double now. An in crease would not arouse enthusiasm on the rigjit side of the question just now. .

John Means, of Cabarrus Co., a Con federate soldier, a member of General Rufus Harringer's cavalry, committed suicide Sunday morning by shooting himself in the head, aged about 00 years. The annexation of Canada with the United States is rapidly gaining ground in that country. The chief organ of the government in Quebec in an edito rial leans very strongly towards annex ation. signing the proclamation which admit ted them into the sisterhood of the union. They have both adopted prohi bition. It is not very often that one half of the exhibitors at a fair or exhibition are satisfied but the Paris Exposition is an exception. Out of 55,000 ex hibitors 33,000 were- awarded pre miums. The Police Commissioner of Ioqdon has refused the only Barnum the priv ilege of making a street parade in that city. It will be a wonder if Barnum does not try to buy him for exhibition purposes, A boy at Asheville cleaning away saw dust and trash from under a circu lar saw in motion, raised up and struck his head against the saw. Though not instantly killed, it is thought he is fa tally hurt. A Philadelphia clothier who opened rooms in Charleston, S.

The Indians occupying the Wind River reservation in Wyoming Terri tory are reported as being in very des titute circumstances, and it is believed that many will die of starvation before Spring if aid is not sent them. Chas. Clark, once a millionair "in New York lost his fortune speculating in Chicago. He hired himself out as a bartender, for a while, but finally committed suicide, and his body was sent for burial to the nauners ceme- ; tary. The Norfolk & Western Railroad Company have borrowed $45,010,000 ou a mortgage on their proper for ithe purpose of providing means to double- truck portions of the line and to build extensions in Ohio and North aro- lina. he cotton oil trust is about to be converted into r.n ordinary corporation with a cf.pitaJ of $31,000,000. This is to be done for the purpose of placing it beyond the reach of any legislation which may be had in tins future against trusts. A pitched battle between highbind- ersind Chinamen occurred in San Francisco last week.

Three boys, aged eleven, nine and four years respectively, have been ar rested at South Qrange N. J., and im prisoned for incendiarism. The evir dence is very strong to the effect that they have set fire to a number of busi ness houses in that place during the last two months causing an enormous amount of loss. It is said that the letter published in the northern papers last week to ti e effect that Blaine was a littje k off his nut" when he wrote the letter declin ing to allow his name to be used before the Republican convention in 1888, is merely the preliminary before begin ning a canvass for the presidential nomination in 1892. L. P. Prince, the Governor of New Mexico, makes a strong showing in bis annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, in favor of the admission of that Territory as a state. It is ex pected that the democrats in Congress will make a determined fight during the coming session for the admission of New Mexico and fdaho. Win. Bo wen, of Kentucky, was mar ried last Thursday at Fleniingsburg, Ky., to Mi?s Maggie Kyne. Bowen was known as the barefooted color bearer of the Confederate forces and never had a shoe on his foot until he had killed a Yankee in the late war, with his color staff, and appropriated his shots to his own use. Ten cases of typhoid fever have oc curred in Yale College since the 20th of September and the students are al most at the point of leaving, although it is claimed by the professors that the sanitary condition is good and that all orme cases tnus tar were contracted by the students before thev came their, and that it is only now showing itself. We nev cr hear of such enrcs of ab ject poverty in our Southern land as sometimes occur in the Northern cities. A dispatch comes from New York, that city of millionaires, of a woman whose husband being sick in one of the hospitals, went crazy with hunger and tried to kill her children and mother. She was taken to Belvue Hospital. The brigs Alice and Romance, with some of the Navassa rioters on board. were intercepted last Friday by United States cutters Ewing and Morrill, and were taken in tow to Baltimore, where ninety-two negroes were arrested and placed in jail, either as participants or witnesses of the riot at Navassa, where several of the bosses were murdered in cold blood. The President has appointed Thurs day, November 28th, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and recom mends that the people of the country shall on that day cease, from their cares and labors and shall assemble at their respective places of worship and give thanks to God, who has prospered us on our way and made our paths the paths of peace. The Wilmington Star proposes some thing like a permanent exposition in this State representing its mineral wealth, &c, and thinks it would not necessarily be expensive to have such an establishment at some central point in the State. The suggestion is a good one; and as the State has already a large variety of minerals in her muse um at Raleigh, there would nrt he much additional expense to make it equal the views of the Star. The Museum, as it now stand, is ona of the most interesting places in the city of Raleigh, comprising not only mir.T era! specimens from all portions of the State, bnt specimens of its woods suit able for all the purposes for which wood is employe?!. Nor does it end with these and its great variety of building and ornamental stones and gems, but includes many other subjects of great interest to arrest the attention of visitors. It would pay an untravel ed citizen of the State to spend one or raorefdays in Raleigh for no other pur- pose than to visit the Museum and study its various subjects Office in vv "Biggin Wilson was in AsoeVilfet one dy last Week with a bear follow ing his heels.

The Baptist Educational and Mis sionary Convention of North Carolina, at Gary bury, Oct. 22-29, have pub lished resolutions passed by that body in which the present system of emigrar tion of the negro race is condemned as having no reference to the welfare of the negro, but wholly managed by agents who care for nothing except the fee they are to receive on each ne gro sent out. It seems very much as if either one j or both of the Hatfield and McCoy fac tions, in West Virginia, would he ex terminated. In a fight between them last Tl ur, lay night, six of the Hat fields were killed or desperately wound ed, and two of the McCoys were killed and four others wounded so badly that they were captured and the next morn ing at sunrise were tied to trees and hot. A call has been made for a conven tion of u Afro-Americans" to be held at Nashville, Tenn., on Wednesday, January 15th, 1890, for the purpose of of organizing an Afro-American party. The call states that the object is to successfully combat the denial of our constitutional and inherent rights so generally denied or abridged through out the republic" in other words they want office or boodle and will get left event i me. The Southern Express Company, last Saturday had a sale of undelivered packages hi Winston which the 7Vw Citfi Daily denounces as a most glar ing swindle. According to the Daily, the packages had been opened and every thing of value taken out. It fur ther states that the people who at tended the sale awoke to the fact, after the sale, that it was the best sold trash, and the worst sold people that Winston had ever seen. It tcr.M lr.rd 45 days to make up a jury in the Cronin (Chicago) case. There is a weak place in the law when it costs so much to do so little. The lawyers made the laws and they are best able to run I hem for all they are worth to them. A man who believes in the solemnity of an oath, and that h Cvin render a just verdict on the evidence present to his mind, ought to be good enough to serve r.s a juror in any case where no ties of relation ship may unconciouslv exert undue influence. Mrs. Bender and her daughter, Kate, were arrested in Michigan a few days ago and taken to Kansas. The women arrested are two of a family of the most notorious criminals the West has ever produced. They lived in the southeastern part of Kansas, early in the seventies, where they kept a hos tlery and murdered every traveler that came along who they thought had any money. Their house was fixed up with trap doors over the cellar, and every device they could think of for whole sale butchery. When' the detection came they fled, and have eluded the officers for sixteen vears. A committee of negro preachers called on Mr. Harrison last week and endeavored to get him to commit him self to the absurd scheme, proposed bv by the recent convention of neirro Baptists held at Indianapolis, of asking Congress to appropriate 30,000,000 to aid the negroes of the South migrat ing to the west. The same committee afterwards called on the Attorney Gen eral and presented a long string of al leged political outrages at the South. From all that can be learned they did not. receive much conciliation from either of the gentlemen visited. They only got some indefinite and diplomatic premises. How much better it would be and what a good effect it would have if all our judges would pattern after Judge Meares, who, during the last court in Mecklenburg county was presented with a petition, signed by 125 citizens, asking that a fine of $3.00, which he had imposed on a young man, for sedncti n, be remitted, said: "Public sentiment has nothing to do with this matter.

VASHINTO!f, Nov. 4, 18S9. Civil Service Commissioner Thomp son's friends indignantly deny the statement charging him with having assisted in collecting campaign contri butions fo)r the Democratic National committee in 1888 from the ch?rks in the Treasury department while he was Assistant Secretary of that Depart ment. Jdr. Yanmttn who was chief clerk of tfie Treasury at the time, makes the following statement which is corroborated ly a number of other officials, some of them republicans. 'During the incumbency of Mr. Thompson as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury I was the Chief Clerk and Superintendent . of the Treasury building, and charged with the en enforcement of all orders. I remember distinctly during the campaign of mv '88 one of my snbbordipates, without knowledge, had collected or received from the employes some seventy-five dollars and informed me of it, and wished to turn the money over to, me to be forwarded to the democratic committee. I declined to receive it, and at once reported the fact to Assis tant Secretary Thompson, who dis tinctly and emphatically told me that such act was illegal and must not be permitted in the department, and di rected me to send for this subordinate and order him to return the money to the persons from whom he had re ceived it, upon pain of dismissal (which I did and the money was so returned), and further to stop all of that kind of work in the Treasury de partment' This silly charge was brought against Mr. Thompson by republicans because he has taken steps to prosecute mem bers of the Virginia republican club of this city for collecting monev from Government employes for the Mahone campaign fund. Ex-Secretary Bayard will be married in this city next Thursday, to Miss Clymer. This marriage has been re ported as abon; to take place at least a half dozen times during the last year. This announcement is official, as your correspondent has one of the few cards issued. Mr. Harrison is understood to have sat down somewhat heavily on Secre lary Noble in regard to the dismissal of those employes of the Pension office whose pensions were related by the late Commissioner Tanner. The Secretary wanted to dismiss them all. but the President has given him orders that none are dismissed unless it can be fi shown that thev are gniltv of having violated the law.
