In the English elections the Conser-
i t i
vatiye gain in the municipal contests is
86 and 'the Libera! gain 40. The most
important change
is at Staylebridge,
where
he Conservatives gained six seats
in the municipal council, lhey have
gained four in Oldham, three in Cardiff
. i ' 'if mi
and three in Liverpool. The foregoing
lesults Lara probably attributable to the
Irish vote, but Conservative gains are
pretty evenly "distributed among ; the
towns of large Irish population and

market dock, and have been to the par
ties haying the dredge in charge to! see if
they could make satisfactory arrange
ments.
The Corn Market. Receipts of
corn have been light for sometime past,
and a Hyde county farmer explains the
cause by syying that all the old corn
was sold off during the summer, and the
new crop is not yet in condition to
ship freely, but when they do begin, he
says they will make up for lost time.
Abolishing the Cochtv Poor House
a Bad Policy The following, which
we take from the Washington Press,
is a burning shame to the County Com
missioners and a lasting disgrace to the
people ol Beaufort county :
We have never thought it a wise move
in our County Comissioneis to dispense
with the county asylum for the sick and
indigent poor, and subsequent events
have proven that the. dispensing with it
has worked badly and suffering humani
ty calls for its restoration or some other
means looking after and fostering tije
poor. Th death of several paupere has
suggested this matttr to us, and the last
death that has occurred demands at our
hands some remarks.
A white man was put in charge of a
colored shop-keeper near Market street,
the county making a small allowance
for his support. The white man being
invalid and with little or no medical
attention died on; Monday without even
the necessities of life, either of medi-!
cine, food or clothing; lying upon boards
covered with straw and in an out-sljelter
just, large enough to hold his, remains,
through the roof of which the rain fell
upon him while sick and on his corpse
after being laid out.
Humanity calls for help. We wit
nessed this scene and saw the poor
emaciated form still in death, wrapped
in homespun with the rain drops staud--ing
upon it. Others witnessed the scene
and was horrified. We repeat humani
ty demands that such thinga shall cease.
The abolishing of the county alms
house throws the poor on the hands
the public, and j what is everybody's
business is nobody's business, and the
poor consequently suffer. Where is the
good in a county government when the
mere matter of form of keeping a road
in order and keeping a bridge in repair,
and seeing that a county .official gets his
pay and at the eame time a poor un
fortunate is allowed to die alone, uncared
for, and without even medical attention.
We repeat that such things should not
and will not long be tolerated. If the
county authorities will not sustain a
home for the poor, they should make
ample arrangements for their support
otherwise, and not only make such ar
rangements but see to it that they are
carried into effect
