Virginia Returns on the 2d shows

New York The Times estimates

Secretaryship made vacant by the
"withdrawal" of ' Delano. It savs
We are asking as a member of the Re
publican party, that the utmost good
faith be practiced by the President, and
it is not doing it to appoint to high pla
ces such men as Chandler. It is an in
sult to the country. Be has . had the
verdict of the people of Michigan, con-
signing him to - private life, .' and that

verdict should not be disturbed by the
President, It teems to be tbe gene

Republican press that Grant has made
a great mistak in Chandler's appoint
ment. '

The Washington Territory Legislat
ure now in session has. divided Walla
Walla county, and the Walla "Wallians
are now seriously talking ot asking that
their part of the old county be annexed
to Oregon, the objections to such an
annexation, by this division, being en
tirely removed. We shouldn't wonder
if Orgon was enlarged by this much of
Washington Territory in the near future.
A telegram from Atchison, Kansas,
dated November 3d, says : The elec
tion in this county yesterday resulted in
a complete Republican victory. ETery
candidate on the Republican county
ticket is elected by majorities ranging
from 135 to 600. The Republicans elect
two and probably three members of the
county board. This is the first time in
many years that the Republicans of this
county have elected their whole county
ticket.
The terrible disaster in Virginia has
caused a tempo ray, at last, hardening of
the money market. Bankers seeing that
the stopping ot the flow of two or three
millions of bullion monthly for several
months would operate to tighten the
money market, have advanced their
rates, and banks have became more care
ful and less accommodating than ever.
Whether this will operate to keep down
the price of wheat, remains to be seen,
but we are rather inclined to thiok that
the advance in cereals that might have
oeen expected under an easy money
market, will not now be reached until
January or February, if then.
At the annual meeting of the Bank
of California it was 6hown that the as
sets of the bank were $14,000,000,
and the liabilities $10,000,000. This
does ont include capital stock, which
-is estimated at $5,000,000 more. With
a good year, it is claimed that most of
these assets will be realized. In any
event depositors and other creditors
will all be paid off, and there will be at
least $1,000,000 to divide among stock
holders, and this may ptssibly be in
creased to $2,000,000 or $3,000,000.
Since the opening the volume of bnsi-
ness at the bank has been nearly as be
fore the temporary suspension.
In Europe the workingman is the
mere slave ot the plutocracy, not the
sovereign ruler, as he is, and should
continue to be, here. He has none of
the comforts, and very few of the liber
ties, which his co temporaries are allow
ed in this land of freedom ; he is kept in
social subjection, and can . never rise.
This will be the condition of the work-
ingman in America if he allows himself
to be led astray by the specious argu.
ments ot the Democratic party, the lea
ders of which have only self-aggrandize
ment at heart. An inflated carrency

There is earnest work yet to be done;
every citizen who values good govern
ment should gird on his armor for- the
conflicts yet before him. The enemy is
vigilant, desperate, determined if possi
ble to break through the lines of public
virtne.and carry the fortress by storm.
Our whole line should be strengthened!
every point should be guarded : clear
beads and brave hearts should be active
everywhere. To fail in our defence of
the grand old party of progress, would
be to betray civil and religious liberty
into tbe hands of our enemies. Let the
pulpits speak, let the press thunder forth
its warnings, let patriotism be aroused
as never, before, for the hordes of igno-
ranee and vice are pressing forward w to
conquer, and destroy. All : intelligent
men must nmte to beat back the van
dals and preserve the - Government in
all of its original purity.

Mr. Reak obeyed and as soon as he left
tbe house his sons forced open tbe back
door, pulled pistols and dirk-knives and
drove their brothers into arother room,
where they locked them in. They then
seized their r mother, .and while Louis

According to a recent statement of
the president of the railway, its liabili
ties were $7,808,026 ; and he also stat
ed that in 1873 the gross receipts were
$809,198, aud the net revenue $277r
214 ; while in 1874 the gross receipts
were $884,920, the net revenue amount
ing to $187,813. This "apperas not to
include any receipts from sale ot lands,
which the committee believe to be val
uable. The amount required to pay
the interest on the first mortgage land
grant bonds is $267,085. Up to . last
January the company met its engage
ments on its bonded debt with regulari
ty, but default was then made on the
farst mortgage bonds. The President
in March, asked the bondholders to
fund the coupons for four years and a
half, to. enable bim to pay off tbe float
ing debt. The committee think some
modification of this may prove advisable
but that -it would be imwise for the
bondholders at present to agree to it.
LTnder the terms of the mortgage it
would be ecessary lor very nearly all
the bondholders to concur before such a
scheme could ; be carried into effect.
They propose to. receive the bonds ot
such holders. as well as co-operate with
them, and to issue in exchange negotia
ble receipts. As holders of the bonds
they will be able to act in the U. S. on
behalf of the bondholders. It will be
necessary to raise a fund for this purpose
and tbey ask tor a subscription ot one
half per cent, on the nominal amount of
the sums deposited tnat is, &l tor each
200 or $1,000 bond and an engage
ment to make f urther contributions, not
exceeding an additional, 1 yer cent., as
may be necessary.
Here is an incident : - At a place bear
ing the remarkable name ot Souse Creek,
Moore County, Tennessee, a religious
meeting" was seriously disturbed a few
days ago. The preacher was holding
forth to the congregation upon the ne
cessity of liv ing good lives, as a preacher
sir. uld, when up to the door of the build
ing rode a man named Wagner, whose
melon patch had been invaded by some
unknown person a few days previously.
Wagner, as be rode up, called ont to a
young man named Casey, saying "You
are the man I have been looking for,"
and then added, "I understand you deny
being iu my water-melon patch." Casey
prointly replied, 1 es, 1 do donyMt ; 1
was not there." The result of this an
swer was that Waguer denounced Casey
a liar, and, as the later was rising from
his seat, ei.ot him dead. . 1 he meeting
was so interrupted by tins interesting
episode that preaching closed, and sever
al men started out in pursuit ot W agner.
At last accounts he had not been caught
and may not be captured at all, though
it should be stated tliat even at couse
Creek it is considered quite reprehensi

New York, Oct. SO. Large quan
tities of provisions are going to Cuba.
The City of Vera Cruz out a full load
and to-day two extra steamers leave for
the same point. In consequence of the
recent arrival in Havana of 15,000
troops it is supposed that the provisions
are intended for them. The cereals ta
ken out include rice and wheat in vast
quantities, and when the . 7,000 more
fepanish troops land, it is supposed that
in e,tp91 pt fcreadstufts will be doubled.
All steamers which havw recently sailed
tor Hayna.have been picked np as far as
safety would admit. Theamonut in
steamers billed to leave within thejiext
two weeks is greater than, the .'capacity
ot the vessels, in consequence5 of which
several extra steamers will leave.

London, Nov'. 1 The Times thi
morning has a leadef on the "utterance
ot tbe official i Gazette of St Petersburg,
to the effect that steps saost be taken by
foreign cabinets to strengthen cufidence
so as to enable the Porte to fulfill her
promises. The Times says : We pre
sume Russia thinks that a conference ot
the great powers shonld review tW trea
ty of Paris and examine into, the state
ot the Tnkish Empire. If a merely ver
bal pressure is all she has in view, it cai
be; more safely applied by dispatches
than by a conference. If she aims at &
more serious intervention, it must go sc
far in order to be effectual that it would
raise the Eastern question in a peculiarly
formidable shape. Engiaiicl is not pre
pare 1 to take so immense a responsibility
in the present unsettled state of Europe-
