The State has gone overwhelmingly Democratic. Great enthusiasm. THE MACON ELECTION RIOT. The disgraceful scenes at the .elec tion yesterday in Macon are a severe commentary on the spirit and conduct of Radicalism. The Radical leaders, .inspired by the Father of Fiends, organize their black column, march to the polls with a view of taking and controlling them, and bring on a bloody conflict which terminates in the death of two persons and the wounding of several . others. When frustrated in their high-handed defiance of law and outrage upon" freedom, thev Millenlv. ivtire and claim i 9 that the Democrats hae intimidated them!

Columbus, Sept. 30. The Columbus JSentinel prints a double-leaded leader headed " Victo ry Foreknown," which contains the following: The authentic hour has come when wisdom tells us that the most impor tant of the Committee-room's hither to hidden secrets may with frankness be made known. Imitating the ex ample of our Great Chief, who, with unsealed lips utters his 'most inner most thoughts, those to whose hands have been committed his interests in Ohio have . commissioned us to trans "iit to all tidings of great joy, to this hour known only to them. For the first time in the history of political contests in this State, a herculean la bor lias been accomplished, which has hitherto l.ulnVd the best efforts of its hardest working men. ' Aided by that division' of labor resulting lrom the fortunate concentration ot the effort of two energetic executive committees, these managers have wrought out a work which will crown them with lasting reno wn.

The precise majority by these complete and accurate returns is fore known.

A victo ry, therefore, grand and overwhelm ing, one week to-morrow, is thus not only foretold, but actually assured, and absolutely foreknown. Grant Meeting in Pennsylvania Captured by Liberals. Scuanton, Sept. 30. The Grant Republicans brought together to night, from New York and elsewhere, about 2,000 torches in procession, and liatl at tne Tannery some very tame speeches, contesting of discussions on dead issues and vile abuse." During the song of a glee-club ou the stage, the astounding fact was brought out that the large audience was almost entirely for Greeley, Brown, and Buckalew. Some one cried out, "Greeley men sit down in front," when "down dropped the vast audi ence as one mass, leaving hardly a corporal's guard standing, after which cheers went up for Greeley, Buckalew, Cttrtin, Rockwell, and other Liberal Republican and Democratic leaders.

Some two years aince a colored man by the name of Washington Ilussey, who had been convicted of the crime of rape upon the person of a youn white girl, in South Carolina, and sentenced to the Penitentiary at Columbia for tifteen years, succeeded in making his escape and has since been at large. A few day 8 ago a description of Ilussey was sent to Mr. R. L. Sellars, of this city, and yesterday, at the foot of the Mar ket House, he met an individual who ans wered it He took him into a bar-room and gave him a drink, which loosened his tongue somewhat and Mr. Sellars soon discovered that he was on the right track and the prisoner was consequently lodged in jail to await a requisition from the Governor of South Carolina. A Man and IUm wife Fighting over their Infant. A warrant was issued by the city author ities yesterday for the arrest of a colored man by the name of Alex. Adams, at the instance of his wife, Hester Adams, who stated that her husband, in a fit of drunk enness, took her infant from her and carried it off. She pursued, with the intention of recovering it, when he gave her a severe beating, but finally, through the in terposition of a white, man, her babe was restored to her. ' . She took it home, but her husband soon made his appearance again, repeated the whipping he had given her and again carried oil the child. Schedule RTax. We learn that according to the advise of the City Attorney and the consequent de cision of the Board of County Commis uione'rs, based tliereon, schedule B tax, which was due on the 1st day of October, cannot be received until a new Sheriil has duly qualified.

We took a round among the business houses yesterday for the purpose of noting the changes in location, which usually takes place to a greater or les3 extent on or about the 1st of each recurring October; among the merchants and Other trades-people of our city.

E. Co. No. 1, this evening, at 7 o'clock. We are glad to see Mr. T. C. Servoss, City Clerk and Treasurer, at his post again. Prof. Jos. H. Denck will resume his duties as Professor of Music on or before the 1st of November. The many friends of Mr. J. G. Bau man, who has been very ill, were glad to see him out again yesterday. The truck squad of the Hook and Lad der Company will meet at the Hall of the Company this evening, at 8 o'clock. The only case before the Mayor's Court yesterday morning was that of Nelson Pep per, charged with disorderly conduct, who was fined $3 and costs. Among the list of Assistant Marshals of the State Fair, to commence in Raleigh on the 15th inst, we notice the name of Mr. Guilford Kidder, of this city. The market stalls were rented at auc tion yesterday, and brought about the same amount that they did last year at least there was a very slight improvement A colored boy by the name of Josh Loftin, charged with stealing a pump from City Marshal Canaday, was arrested and lodged in the Guard House yesterday. The case of Kitty , charged with stealing clothing from Celia Morris, which was to have come up before Justice Woodford yesterday, was laid over for a future hearing. We had a call last evening from Mr. Robert Wishart, one of the slayers of the notorious outlaw, Tom Lowrey. He par ticipated in the excursion yesterday on the steamer Waccamaie. Mr. A. Stewart, of the Rockingham OWrwr, visited our sanctum yesterday. He will call on our merchants for advertise ments for his paper, which has a fine circu lation in a rich and growing section. We learn that some of the parties who purchased lots from Messrs. Bunting & McQuigg last week, have already com menced erecting buildings on them. These lots are located in the extreme Southern portion of the city. The ordinance in regard to drays being driven directly in front of the street cars at the different crossings should be enforced. Tfcere have been several narrow escapes from collisions lately on account of careless- ness on the part of drivers of drays, so the conductors report report Our Circulation. The circulation of The Morning Star is steadily increasing, and has already reach ed a point which we think has never before been attained by any daily newspaper in North Carolina. The history of journalism in Wilmington, we are ery sure, can show nothing approximating a parallel to our local circulation, which now extends to the remotest confines of the city. Our city agents, who formerly travelled on foot, have long since " jined the cavalry, having found equine locomotion absolutely neces sary to an early and prompt delivery of the paper. We shall strive to make - our paper worth more than we charge for it; and that's about all the public have a right to expect. Arrested for larceny. Josh Richardson and Ned Clark, charged with stealing five empty spirit casks from Messrs. Willard Bros., were arrested by Mr. R. L. Sellars, yesterday afternoon. They entered into security for their appearance before Justice Cassidey to-morrow after noon, at 3J o'clock, and were released from custody. Bowdrliin.

The river rose 12 inches by rains yesterday and day before, says the Fayette ville Eaale. This will enable the boats to get off, though not with full loads. The Sentinel regrets to learn the tobacco crop of Granville is not as good as it was at first thought to be. 1 his is specially the case with fine tobacco. They are agitating the question of forming a new county out of portions of Martin and Halifax. Palmyra is spoken of as the county seat, says the Weldon AtMW.

Cols. McRae and Hinton, two eloquent sons of our soil now residing in other States, have been vigorously can vassing Ohio for the Liberal cause for the past tw weeks. They made able and stir ring speeches at Columbus, on the 28th ult. Young Gilchrist, who was badly wounded in Jhe affray in which W. B. Mc Lellan was killed some time ago has nearly recovered, says the llobesonian. He arrived here last Friday in custody of Sheriff Mc Millan, and was placed in jail to await his trial at the next term of our Court. We learn efforts are on foot to have him released on a writ of habeacorpus. The Rutherfordton Vindicator says: A case in court last week forcibly il lustrates the folly of going to law. A & B were indicted for assault and battery, the witness swore notnmg, because defendants had done nothing, the Judge charged noth ing, the jury found nothing, the State got nothing, and the lawyer got his fee of ten dollars for doing nothing.

A negro man named Thomas Dabney, some 30 years of age, and employed upon the farm of Col. Walter Clark, was the husband of a woman who a uut" some 'ee months of age, " " " - ". Xa oar- day morning the man endeavored to make the child stop crying, and not succeeding iu una, we ocLteu me ciiuu ana aasnea its head against the floor, injuring it so severely as to cause its death in a short .while.
