A tidal wave lashed by a cyclone and up- 
heaved by an earthquake overwhelmed the 
Republican party in this State and grievously 
demoralized it in most of the others at last 
Tuesday’s election, liere Secretary Folger 
was buried out of sight in the contest for the 
Governorship by a majority of about 200,000 
votes in favor of Grover Cleveland, of Buf¬ 
falo—the largest majority ever given in any 
State in the race for the Governor’s chair. 
Tuesday was a bad day for political "bosses,” 
Patti son. Democrat, carries Pennsylvania, 
by about 85,000. Ben. Butler has at length 
gained the object of his persistent desire, the 
Governorship of the oll Bay State to the in¬ 
tense disgust 8f Boston "culture” and Repub¬ 
lican "respectability.” The Free Canal Amend¬ 
ment was carried here by about 200,000 major¬ 
ity, and the Women Suffrage Amendment was 
defeated in Nebraska by about 40,000 major¬ 
ity. Next week the smoke of the bat’le will 
have cleared off, and the reports of the killed 
and wounded be returned in detail, as well as 
the roll of those whom "the people have de¬ 
lighted to honor,” and fuller particulars will 
be found here. Meanwhile, we will only eay 
that Republicans seem almost as glad of their 
defeat as the Democrats can be. 
REPRESENTATIVES ELECTED. 
In the following table the present and the 
next House of Representatives are compared. 
Seven vacancies caused by the death, resigna¬ 
tion and unseating of Congressmen were filled 
at the election on Tuesday. These are added 
to the delegations of the States in which the 
vacancies occurred. Greenbackers are marked

Later returns may make some slight altera 
tions in these figures, when the votes are all 
officially counted, but they ale as accurate as 
the corrections down to this morning can 
make them. There will be a number of contest 
ed cases, however, and as the Democrats will 
have a majority of at least 63 in the House, 
the great majority of such cases will doubtless 
be decided in tbeir favor, according to usage 
with all parties in the ascendancy. 
Superintendent Dutcher has decided that 
the State canals of this State be closed ou De¬ 
cember 7.At Now Orleans the gaB com¬ 
pany has turned off the gas in the public 
buildings controlled by the city, including the 
police stations, parish prison, city ball, etc. 
The city owes the company over $200,000 old 
debt and on a cash contract has not paid the 
company’s monthly installments since July. 
The street lamps are also out and except in 
the vicinity of the electric lights the city is 
in darkness.Gen. Sherman in his re¬ 
port asks for an increase of 5,000 men for the 
army.Secretary Folger resumed his 
duties at $he Treasury Department last Thurs 
day.Same day the Interior Depart¬ 
ment issued 463 land patents.Ex-Presi¬ 
dent Pierola of Peru arrived here from Europe 
on Thursday and was interviewed. He said 
that his mission here was to sound public sen¬ 
timent on the Peruvian-Chilean situation. 
He is strongly in favor of peace and will offer 
his services to his country to aid in bringing 
it about.In the United States 9,143 
miles of railroad have been constructed this 
year.The other day 460 Mormons, in 
charge of a number of American missionaries, 
arrived at Castle Garden. Some of them

Prince Louise is to remain at Victoria, B. C.,

ment is now up to a hight of 822 feet, and,

tucky militia who fired ou the people near 
Catlettsburg had been besieged in the town 
beforehand, and were more closely beset by

Several others who were shot by them have 
died since last report.J. W. Simonton, 
for many years the New York agent of the 
Associated Press, is dead at his home on the 
Pacific coast....Fall, and the negro 
Payne, "star route” bribers, are held for 
trial under $4,000 and $2,000 bail respectively. 
.Poor Asylum, at Halifax, Nova Scotia, 
burned on Tuesday—31 inmates cremated. 
....A new Bub-Atlantic cable is to be laid 
rightaway in opposition to the existing tele¬ 
graphic monopolies. Its cost will be borne 
mainly by three or four newspapers on this 
side of the water and one or two, perhaps, on 
the other side, James Gordon Bennett of the 
Herald has subscribed $1,000,000, and is ready 
to subscribe as much more as may be needed, 
but all the stock is taken. The arrangements 
are such that it will be impossible for the cable 
monopolists to get hold of the new line. As 
the work will be done for cash and no middle¬ 
men will be employed, the cable will cost sev¬ 
eral million dollars less than the old lines. So 
says the Herald, but it isn’t very clear as to 
the advantage the " dear public” is to get 
from the enterprise beyond the pleasure of 
seeing a telling blow struck at Monopoly. 
A Clergyman’* Sore Tbroat. 
This disease, which has during the past 
twenty or thirty years abridged or entirely 
closed the ministerial usefulness of so many 
clergymen, has rarely found successful treat¬ 
ment under any of the old Bystems of medi¬ 
cine. The following from R,ev. J. P. Pradt, 
of Madison, Wisconsin {late Assistant State 
Superintendent of Wisconsin), shows how 
pro aptly, in 1 is case, this disease yielded to 
the action of Compound Oxygen. He says: 
" I had been troubled many years with cler¬ 
gymans’ Sore Throat; and after a severe at¬ 
tack of influenza, the upper part of the lungs 
were left very tender and irritable, and I was 
obliged to desist entirely f rom using my voice 
in public Service. After a two months' trial 
of the Compound Oxygen , I found myself to 
my surprise and gratification, able to go 
through full services again , not only without 
any trouble, but with little fatigue. Three 
months’ use of the remedy restored my voice 
and lungs completely, and greatly improved 
my general health. I feel it my duty, therefore, 
to bear testimony to its good effects. I have 
waited lor time to test the permanence of the 
benefits received, and can say that during the 
past severe Winter I have been entirely free 
from colds, and in better general health than 
lor many years; am 65 years of age.” Trea¬ 
tise on Compound Oxygen, its nature, action, 
and results, with reports of cases and full 
information sent free. Dks. Starkey &

Saturday, Nov. 11, 1882. 
Last Thursday over 100 Clydesdale horses 
were seized on the farm of Col. Robert Hol¬ 
loway, near Alexis, Ill., by representatives of 
the Glasgow Breeding and Exporting Com¬ 
pany, on the ground that Col. H. was merely 
acting as agent for the company to sell their 
horses for a share of the proceeds, and that 
although he had been selling large numbers, 
his remittances were unsatisfactory, and ac¬ 
cordingly the company in disgust decided to 
take possession of its property, valued at $225,- 
000. The Colonel says he has a part interest 
in the stock and has remitted nearly all the 
company’s share of the proceeds of sale, and 
by means of a writ, of replevin and superior 
force he prevented the shipment of the stock. 
Col. Holloway’s reputation for business integ¬ 
rity is first-class in this country and Europe.

221,020, at an average price of $5.25 per 100

from tobacco and cigars during October, 1881, 
was $116,819.44, against $62,099 for October,

a company with a reported capital of $1,000,- 
009 to oppose the Chicago dressed beef enter¬ 
prise of Hammond & Co. and Swift & Co. 
They will open depots in every city where the 
other firms have agencies now, and will sell 
the beef brought from Chicago in the Ameri¬ 
can Refrigerator Company’s cars at a price 
which will just cover expenses. This is re¬ 
garded as a move to crowd out the dressed 
beef trade in the interests of the live stock 
business of the East.”..

mutual interests, etc.Uncle Peter Mc- 
Geoch has related his experience with Mil¬ 
waukee No. 2 wheat from Angus Smith & 
Co.’s Elevator A., Milwaukee, which seems to 
justify his recent declaration that he will not 
receive wheat from that elevator on the 
" puts ” he has sold, on the ground that it is 
badly mixed with very inferior wheat.

FOREIGN NEWS. 
In England the " closure ” question is still 
the chief topio of political interest. The Con¬ 
servatives are now likely to oppose the meas¬ 
ure in any shape, as the " gag ” can be put 
on any speaker in Parliament by a bare ma¬ 
jority vote instead of a two-third vote, as 
they wanted. The two thirds requirement 
would always prevent the application of the 
rule to them, as they will always have more 
than one third of the voters, while it would 
make it always apply to the Irish, who will 
never have one-third. If the Tories vote 
against any form of "closure” the Parnell- 
ites will join them, and then Gladstone’s ma 
jorifcy will he so small that the Conservatives 
will obstruct business on principle until Par¬ 
liament is dissolved so as to give the " people” 
opportunity to express their opinion on this 
"gag law.”.From present indication* 
it appears probable that England will virtual¬ 
ly occupy or entirely control Egypt, some¬ 
what after the fashion of the Indian depend¬ 
encies. The " Foreign Control ” in Egypt has

to attempt interference in Egyptian matters.
