VERNON, October Vernon has in the wildest state of excitement since two been over 8. series of the most disgusting crimes and tragic revenges which have ever startled the of this vicinity. All day hundreds of people people, armed with pistols, shot-guns, have been crowded about the Court-house. and Jail, with excitement, and surging EAGER FOR VENGEANCE ON FIVE CRIMINALS, Who had been put in for the most desperate oftenses, and who were huddled in the small jail, belpless, with the fear that every minute would to be their last. The cause of all this began prove Monday night at eleren o'clock, when eight neon lawless and drunk, went to 8 house of illgroes, fame near the outskirts of the town and knocked for admittance.

There were three girls in the one of them inquiring what was wanted answered that a messenger with a note was was waiting. She opened the door, and a young negro on the steps, and just behind him a stood GIGASTIC FELLOW WITH A COCKED REVOLVER, Who ordered the girl to open the door, and commanded his confederates to enter. The eight en tered and demanded money from the girls, who did not have any. The scoundrels rifled the house for plunder, during which one girl attempted to escape by a back door. One of the scoundrels presentel a revolver at her head, and told her he would kill her if she went-that they had business with her.

They then huddled the girls into one room, and, putting out the lights, inaugurated beastly carnival, holding their pistols at the girls' beads and compelling them to SUBMIT TO THE LOATHSOME EMBRACES OF ALL, One after another, for an hour, during which time the girls were not allowed to speak or utter a sound on peril of death. A little after midnight all departed, leaving the women fainting and sick. Next morning, in spite of the election, there was great excitement in town, and officers, armed with warrants, went in search of the ravishers. The villaius lived in Belleville, the negro quarters, and had not ted. Jim Good, Jeff Hopkins, Ed Warper and William Chambers were arrested on Wednesday and put in jail, the arrest being kept as quiet as possible, in order to prevent lynching.

On Thursday the town was greatly excited, but no steps were taken while the officers were in search of those who had escaped. This morning at two o'clock A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY WAS PRECIPITATED In a terrible manner. Deputy Sheriff O. S. Thomas, Deputy Marsha! Ed Hayes, Constable William Russell and Charles Baker went to the house of Dan Harris, a negro sixty rears old, son, Dan Harris, was to be apprehended on a warrant for -being one of the raviebers.

They surrounded the house. and Thomas knocked at the door and demanded admission. It was refused. He demanded it again, and ordered the parties inwide to strike a light. Old Harris told him to strike a light himself.

Thomas went to the side of the window with Russell to parley with the parties. and as they approached a double-barreled shotgun was pushed out and discharged within three let of them. One buckshot grazed Russell's cheek, and eighteen buried themselves in Thomas' face, thront and breast. The juguiar vein was cut, and ONE SHOT WENT THROUGH HIS HEART, While his shoulder was blown off. He staggered 8 few feet, said, "Boys, I'm shot to the death," and fell deal without a struggle.

Ed Hayes advanced to the window, and was also fired at, and emptied sshot-gun into the window at Harris, but -neither was hurt much, Harris getting a few squirrel shot to his arm. The officers altogether made a raid on the house then, and, after a struggle, succeeded in retting old man Harris, but young Dan was not there. He is supposed to have got out somehow when they took old Harris to jail. About six Velock found a great crowd, armed with pistols and guns, HUNGERING FOR THE LIVES OF THE MEN IN JAIL, And for Harris'. Sereral of them attacked Harris as le was carried through, and nearly succeeded in booting him, and but for the excitement elsethere, which diverted them, would have done it.

They put him In jail, and Hayes, Jim Dunn, Baker and others locked themselves in, armed to the keth, and defied the mob, which was howling outwide and demanding entrance. Major Menzies and William Nelson made quieting addresses, but no attention was paid to them. Under the resistance of the officers it was Anally concluded to wait till right. One colored man who came into the mob began to tilk freely, and was set upon. He fled, and WAS SHOT IN THE BACK OF THE NECK somebody, and will be laid up some time.

Early in the morning telegrams concerning the crisis were sent to Evansville, where all the leading Stizens were attending the United States Court, lad it became rumored that Governor Williams lad been called on to send the Evansville Rifles Ind Light Guards Militia. This rumor put the nob into a perfect frenzy of excitement. Two tundred men, armed with guns and pistols sere ordered to the depot to await he coming of the train, and prevent be militia from getting off. A cannon F8S got out of quarters, and, under the charge the remainder of the crowd, was hauled to the lourt-house and planted in front of the house, facag the street to the depot, and a determination expressed to KEEP THE TROOPS OFF IF EVERY. MAN DIED.

This diverted the infuriated crowd from the prismers, although a strong armed guard was kept About the jail all to-day. The militia did not come, is there was no authoritative call for them, and at mo o'clock the excitement had somewhat dissipeted, although armed men were crowded in the treets and about the jail. Not A negro was to be een in town. When your representative arrived se found the cannon in place, and some of the test men in town engaged in PREPARATIONS TO LYNCH THE PRISONERS 4t ten o'clock to-night. Jailer Wheeler arrived at acon, and has been closely watched to prevent jetting the prisoners away to a safe place.

A ren. dezvous has been appointed half a mile from town it balf-past nine o'clock, and the five prisoners will pe hung to trees. Jim Good, one of the parties, vas pardoned by Governor Williams three months go, after serving two years of a five years' sentence tr committing rape. He is a bad man, and all bis complices seem to be bad characters, except old Harris, who is said to have been a very well-beared man, and his crime was least expected. Second Dispatch.

MIDNIGHT--At eight o'clock this evening the long el of a drum echoed through the streets, in thich crowds of people stood on the corners awaitPR the outlaws. At the Court-house corner all man, under the influence of liquor, adtressed the crowd which gathered round him, and urged that their wives were not safe as long a bestial villains were allowed at large. He was unmarily stopped by several citizens, and hen at the command, several hundred men started vat of the city and assembled in a dark woods Jalf a mile out the railroad, where one hundred bag black masks were ready. They spent an hour preparing the work and taking oaths of secrecy. Meanwhile your representative went into the jail Ed Hays, the Marshal, and With TALKED WITH THE DOOMED MEN.

In the corridor lay old Harris, lean and bloody, With frousy whiskers. He was unable to talk above whisper from loss of blood. His right arm was thot to pieces, and a load of shot in his side had Dearly done the work. He raised one Arm, and said he had done the Mooting which killed Thomas, but thought men who came were George Daniels and Henry Jones, who had threatened to kill him. He reluctantly admitted things which placed his guilt beyond the shadow of doubt.

Jeff Hopkins, tall, black brute, forty-two years old, was next, and denied his guilt. Wm. Chambers, the third man, WAS tall brown fellow, with black moustache, and just been acquitted of the murder of Patrick McMullen at Grand Chain last winter, although every body believed yet he was guilty. Jim Good, who had just been pardoned for rape, a villainous looking six-footer, magnificently built, denied in the most solemn manner any connection with the affair. "You want me to tell the truth, gentlemen," sold he in deep tones, and without a quiver, "and I say before God and man I never bad nothing to do with it." Edwards, the last of the five, WAS 8 young, slim, slouchy-looking boy of twenty-one, coal black, and cool as a cucumber when called to the cell door.

He quit praying in monotonous voice, and told the reporter that he was not in the crowd that ravished the women; that he had been sick all Monday and Tuesday. He was arrested in bed by the officers, but they say he was shamining, and when in his cell he appeared as fresh and strong as any well man in the crowd. Old Harris alone PRESENTED A PITIABLE APPEARANCE, Looking weak and sick, but cool and unmoved. He lay on a pallet without uttering a sound, while the other four, locked in the first cell from the door, were kneeling on the floor, with heads bowed to the wall, praying in the loud, monotonous, shrill tones of the camp-meeting negro. siugle candle shed a sickly light upon the scene, and the last hours in the cell were terrible in their gloom.

Just as your representative finished the last interview the crack of a pistol was heard. Ed Hays threw open the door, and saying: "Now, let's slip, boys, there's murder on band," the reporter and one or two persons privileged to enter, bastily ran out into beautiful Courthouse yard, shaded with heavy locusts. The n'ght WAS clear, and a bright moon pouring its light down made the scene ghost-like and impressive. The cannon which had been used to defend the Jail in the morning had been brought to the Jail entrance, loaded and primed, and pointed blank at the door. A GUNNER STOOD READY WITH LIGHTED MATCH To apply, if necessary, while Ed Hays, Matt Nelson, Win.

Kenna, Charles Baker, Frank Wright and another, aimed with shot guns, took their positions about the jail, and ordered the large crowd to clear the yard, for fear of accident in whatever might ensue. The crowd, consisting of two or three hundred men, fell back to the fence and across the street. The miserable, guilty wretches on the inside began to pray and call on God to save them. For ten minutes it appeared to be 8 false alarm; but there was heard the steady tramp of two hundred feet, and a few minutes later a hundred men, THE BEST OF THE YOMANRY Of the county, physically and probably in reputation, marched up the street and filed by twos into the yard and up the guards, without word. Every man had on 8 long, black mask, falling from forehead to chin, like the Inquisitors of old.

All had changed coats: some were turned lining out, and a hundred ways of disguises assumed. Not 8 word WAS spoken, not a demand made; but as the leader arrived at the door where Hayes, the Marshal, stood, at a signal the little knot of guards were seized. Another company of masked men had deployed to keep the crowd back, and as the guards were attacked, VOLLEY OF PISTOL AND GUN-SHOTS Were fired. A melee ensued, in which the guards and gunners were overpowered, and their weapons taken from them, not without a strong resistance, however, for in the discharge of weapons Alexander Crunk, the new Sheriff, who was standing in the yard, had his right eye destroyed by a buckshot. His brother had his face and neck filled with shot, and two other men were slightly wounded.

So far there had 1.0t been a word uttered, and, except the firing of the guns, no sound was heard except the low, plaintive prayers of the doomed wretches, which those who were near could hear, rise in the stillness that settled down. Ed Hayes, who had not had time to get it away, had the key of the outside door taken from him, and in a moment more the door was opened, and FIFTY MASKED MEN WERE IN THE CORRIDOR. Here lay the old man, Harris, on his pallet, and over him the mob crushed with iron heels before his groans warned them of his presence. A light was brought, and it was chen discovered by the determined men that another and stronger door stood between them and four of their prey. In ten mintues a cold chisel, sledge-hammer and a crowbar were brought, and in willing bands the work of cutting through the iron wall began.

The hopeless victims of the thirsting mob had paid no attention to the dread avengers, but WENT ON WITH THEIR PRAYERS. As the first heavy blow of the sledge fell on the iron the plaintiver voices, urged consciously into a heightened tone, began to cry God, have mercy on yo' lamb!" "Oh, Jesus, save yo' child!" One moaned out, I see de waters ob Jordan, and de feet ob de Lamb! Oh save yo' innocent child!" But minutes after minutes the dull thuds fell with unfeeling certainty, and as bar after bar gave way, the crowd began to THIRST MORE FOR BLOOD. But all was quiet as the grave, and not a sound was heard. The crowd stood stock-still, only the ghostly figures of the masked guards, who strolled about with guns and pistols cooked, speaking not word to ADJ. While the awed and expectant crowd were waiting outside a horrible deed was committed on the interior.

The surging crowd, rendered desperate by the slow destruction of the iron door, had with hushed voices, and almost by glances, AGREED UPON AN AWFUL VENGEANCE For Thomas. The old man Harris, who lag on his pallet like one' indifferent to his end, was surrounded by men from whose hearts all human feeling seemed to have fled, and the place filled with a demon. Without a word he was seized, hand clutched about his throat to stifle any scream, and a knife plunged into his heart. In fire minutes his body was CUT IN PIECES LIKE A HOG, Head, arms, legs--all separated, and the sickening mass of human flesh flung into the privy. So quietly was the awful act perpetrated that not a soul knew of its commission until after the dread culmination of the night's horrid work.

Who did this deed nobody knows, or if he does, or suspects, he dare not open his lips. In forty minutes from the opening of the front door this crime was committed, and in five minutes more the cell door yielded to the chisel and slodges, and with a crash rush the heartless crowd were in and seized the prisoners. and twine had been prepared, and in five minutes each of the four bad his wrists tied tightly behind his back and 8 ropo thrown about his neck. The doomed men uttered not 8 word of pleading, nor faltered an instant. Each bore himself well.

The nerve and coolness of a hero. At five msnutes before eleven the little group at the jail door received orders, and the masked guards again moved back the crowd which had begud to struggle into the yard. A minute later A LITTLE PROCESSION EMERGED FROM THE JAIL DOOR. First came Bill Chambers, three men leading him by the rope about his neck, while one walked with him. He nothing, but his step WAS firm.

Jim Goode, Jeff Hopkins and Ed Warner, order named, all walking firmly, but on either side of the latter walked man appeared to support him 8 unnecessarily. There was no abuse, and not one of the doomed wretches craved mercy. The gloomy procession moved to the fence on the south side of the square, just where the massive portico of the splendid new TEMPLE OF JUSTICE AND MERCY, Looked upon the scene which mocked its pretension and stained its portals. Here stand three locust trees, within three feet of the -three of the majestic row that fringed the square. The fire men were led under the fatal trees, whose branches reached out, ready for the work.

The rope about Jeff. Hopkin's neck WAS thrown over the limb at the Arst trial, but the others caught in the leaves, and three or four minutes was spent in having men climb the trees and put the ropes over. Not a word was yet said, except all the prisoners WAS softly praying. but stood firm rock. On the street in front a dense crowd was drawn up, patrolled in front by masked men with gleaming pistols, and 48 whole far AS sound have WAS been concerned the might ghastly dream or vision.

Although Hopkins' executioners were ready, they seemed to falter, and JIM GOODE WAS THE FIRST TO BE PULLED UP. As the man who put the rope over finished his task. he caught the end, and, holding it, swung from the limb to the ground. The tension caught Goode, and pulled him on tip-toe. When the executioner released his hold Goode fell back on the rope, and could not be lifted.

He had fainted, and his death WAS painless. Five men seized the rope and swung him up three feet clear, and tied the end to the fence-post nearest. THE GREAT STORM Not Much of a Shower After All. Radicals Beginning to Realize the Barrenness of Their Alleged "Victory," And They Can Find Nothing in the Result to Rejoice Over. Returns from Forty-One -Slim Vote of the Nationals.

Mines of Radical Corruption Being Unearthed in Indiana Also. The Seat of the Venezuela Statesman to Be Contested. Majority Against the Radicals in the Hoosier State, Forty-Five Thousand. OHIO. Official Returns From Forty-One ties.

Special Dispatches to the Enquirer. COLUMBUS, October have begun to realize at Republican head-quarters that It has not been so much of a victory after ell. They have ceased to take any inordinate interest in the returns, aud will await the official count to determine the majority, which they now acknowledge will not exceed 4,000. The Democrats stand by their assertions that it will not exceed 3,500. General Robinson, after organizing victory to the extent of eleven Democratic Congressmen elected instead of eight, as before, has returned to Kenton for an indefinite time.

John G. Thompson is also resting. There is no Republican rejoicing; but, in fact, those at their head-quarters who understand the amount of work done and money expended are but little confident of as good luck in future. The official returns have been received from forty-one counties, showing Barnes' total vote in these to be 107.912; Paige's vote, 93.816; Roy, Nittional, Henderson, Prohibition, 3,866. Barnes' majority over Paige in forty-one counties is 9,096.

In the above list the National vote is given in Lucas. Wood, Mahoning. Tuscarawas, Lorain and other countics where they cast their heaviest vote. Their entire vote in the State is estimated at 20,000 or 22,000. The latest Democratic estimates, on official and reliable advices, from seventy-three counties shows a Democratic gain over the vote by which Barnes was elected two years ago of 2,846, and the fifteen counties yet to hear from will show further gain of several hundred.

leaving the Republicans in possession of two little inconsequential offices, which carry no great significance, and exert scarcely any influence in State politics. BATAVIA, October 11. -The smoke from the battle of Tuesday having somewhat cleared away, we find the following result: Hon. Henry L. Dickey and the Democratic State ticket will have not far from 800 majority.

P. J. Nichole, Democratic candidate for Probate Judge, will have not far from the same vote. J. J.

Howard, for Prosecutor, has about 300 majority over W. B. Townsley, Republican candidate. Agers, for Surveyor, will be up with the State ticket. Rybolt, Republican candidate for Commissioner, will have not far from 500 majority over Robert Bucham, Democrat.

H. B. Mattox and General Holte-, Greenback candidates, will have about 200 majority over Cierk Parrott and C. M. Riggs.

The defeat of the named gentiemen was brought about by the coalition of Republican and Greenback strength, the latter rote being about 800, and including about 400 Demoocrats. Though a defeat for the Democrats, it is pretty difficult to tell whose victory it is. The Republicans find they sacrificed their Congressman for county offices, and spent their money to gain a victory which they cau not claim. The official vote of Clermont was counted to-day: Secretary of State-Paige, Barnes, 2,932: Roy. 1.029.

Paige's majority, 793. 3,783: McKnight, Printy, 945. Dickey's majority. 758. The following are the majorities on the county ticket: Nichols, Probate Judge, 899; Howard, Prosecuting Attorney, 401: Downs, Coroner, 631; Ayer, Surveyor, 780; Holter, Fusion, Auditor, 159: Mattox, Fusion.

INDIANA. Finding Ont How It was Done -Rev. De La Matyr Serenaded. Special Dispatches to the Enquirer. INDIANAPOLIS, October 11.

-The Democratic State Central Committee are in possession of sufficient facts upon which to base a contest of Orth's seat in Congress. Thirty-six voters were taken from Hendricks County and voted in Boone. The Republican managers were willing to lose Hanna, because he was not sound on the currency, and had voted with the Democracy on all financial issues; but Orth was so avowedly a hard-money bank man that they were determined to elect him at any cost. Bribery is charged in other counties, and the Conmittee feel confident that they will have no trouble in proving sufficient frauds to throw him out. The election of Overmeyer from Jennings County is also determined upon the grounds of intimidation and fraud.

They have the protest prepared, which will be filed, and which, under the Constitution, will prevent his being sworn in until the case is Investigated; and they claim that the proofs will be suficient to oust him, and render him liable to an interview with the Criminal Court. It has been decided not to contest the election in this county, but to indict those who were guilty of bribery under the United States statutes. It is claimed that over thirty cases can be made in this county alone, which will unearth the Republican still-hunt in this county. The Committee have just closed their caucus, after deciding upon the foregoing line of action. The combined National vote and Democratic majority show a majority against the Republicans in the State of about 45,000.

The Nationals and Democrats gave a serenade to Rev. De La Matyr at the Grand Hotel this evening. The speech was made from. the balcony to about. 1,200 people.

The speaker began by saying that he rejoiced with his friends, because the cause in which they had succeeded was the cause of righteousness. all the speeches I have made in the canvas 1 was not quite certain of the result, but I am now. We have won the battle without stooping to a mean act. I have not come down from the high plane upon which 8 Christian gentleman should stand. The people have stood together, and not allowed any question of religion to divide them.

Mr. Hanna boasted that the Catholic votes would be arrayed against me, and great efforts were made to awaken a Christians; prejudice but in in the all hearts of that large class of localities where they were the strongest my majority was inPereased. The Twenty-fifth Ward turned up 383 majority for the Methodist preacher. This result is significant, showing as it does that the people are resolved to keep Church and State separate. The statement that the Catholics can be transferred solidly is false.

I appreciate what my Catholic fellow -citizens have done, and thank them for it. My enemies also tried to create a feeling against me on account of my known temperance views, and many fanatics went. into moral spasms because I made a speech at a beer garden; but they failed to state that I said then and there I was a temperance man, and asked the people if they would not sooner be represented by a temperance man than those who would get drunk and leave their work to be done "We rejoice to-night because of the victory of the by a colored man? people over a ring, a monopoly which has brought distress and vice all over the land. Republican legislation is being rebuked by the people. The Republican party has failed to do any thing was to keep pace with the progress which the country making, but have stopped it all.

If we pay our debts we must work, and the party in power has destroyed the industry of the country. We are opposed to the legisiation of the Republican party. and there should be no division in our ranks. who are fighting for principle, Nationals and Democrats, should stand shoulder to shoulder in the good work. We must combine against the enemy.

We have not closed the campaign. The battle must go on until we have gained the victory. The people of the land must rule it: and, when they combine, oppression goes down before their mighty will. I lived of in New York when Tweed was at the zenith his power, and I say to you that he was not as infamous as the Republican managers who corrupted by open purchase the election last Tuesday, and I hope the Courts will turn the key on those who bought men's votes. I did not seek the honor, but I accepted it when proffered." The Doctor closed with an urgent appeal to the two parties to combine and work against the common enemy.

He spoke of the sure distress which the winter would bring, and urged all classes to aid each other. He leaves here for Pennsylvania on Monday, to engage in the can vass there. RICHMOND, October following are the official majorities of counties for Congressmen in this (Fifth) district: For, Holman -Dearborn, 1.604; Franklin, 1.496.

B. WILSON, NEW YORK. Sale of Montague's Personal Effects. List of the Articles Sold, and Who Bought Them. Intensely Feverish Condition of the Stock Market--Mysterious Dealings Among Speculators-A Suit Which Ventilated a Firm Designed for Government.

Patronage. WEST VIRGINIA. Special Diepatch to the Enquirer. NEW YORK, October 11. -Many actors were at the sale of Montague's personal effects to-day.

Among them were Lester Wallack, Billy Florence, Harry Beckett, J. W. Carroll, A. M. Holland, Charles r.

Coghian, Louis Simon, one of the executors, John E. I. Graniger, who was a particular friend of the actor, and a pall-bearer at his funeral, Arthur Sewall and Wright Sanford. The articles to be sold, more than two hundred in number, were placed on exhibition on the walis of the TOOl, in cases, and on the floor, with the exception of the cart, which WAS pinced outside the door. Harness, roves, horse, clothing, pictures, theatrical and private wardrobe and ornaments and trinkets were there.

The first article offered was a set of double harness, always used with the cart. It bears in many places Montague's monogram. It was several minutes before a bid was made, and then $50 was offered, and after several bids Mr. N. W.

T. Hatch bought the harness for $100. It didn't cost less than $300. a bystander said. Then the single harness, worth $150, was bought by a Mr.

Marti, for $72. The "Ti cart, all excellent one, worth when new $700, was bought by Mr. C. C. Hastings for $355.

The dead actor's whip, worth pe haps was the object of a spirited bidding. and was bought by Mr. Wright Sanford for $11. A fine robe was also much sougnt after, and was bought by a Mr. Harmand for 850; after which Mr.

Granger bought an elaborately embroidered table-spread, which WAS down on the catalogue as "a fancy robe." for $20. It was said this spread was the gift of a fair admirer of Montague, and the work of her own hands. A West-street junk dealer, Lackey by name, appeared and became 8 large purchaser of the wardrobe. He bought the checked suit worn by Montague when he last appeared in Dislomacy in this city, for $7 50. The red coat and black trousers with wide gold stripe, in The Shaughraun, for $11.

The dainty blue velvet and trousers Fa'se Shame, for $5. A very handsome overcoat. satin-lined and velvet-bound, for $28. and the other clothing at correspondingly low figures. A blue velvet stage-coat, with silver trimmings, of time of Louis was displayed.

J. W. Carroll, the actor, who brought Montague's body from San Francisco, bought the coat for $7. The bidding on the wardrobe went on briskly. Mr.

Lackey almost every thing. until Montague's friends began to chafe little. They evidently did not want the clothing themselves, and yet they hated to see them go to a second-hand clothing store. At length a dress-coat was offered. Lackey was about to get it for $5, when a deep voice cried out, "What are you selling, a dress coat? I'll $10." to Mr.

the auctioneer said, and a round of applause followed. A black stage-coat was offered. The bid was $5 That's the coat he wore as 'Gorge D. Alroy' in Caste," Florence shouted, and at that Mr. Draper bid $10 aud got it.

Mr. Grainger paid $3 for a pair of Florence bid a stuffed duck up to $6. Grainger bought an old sole-leather trunk for $5, and Florence took its mute for $10, while Carroll bought a Saratoga trunk for $4 50, Then came the sale of the pictures, which were sold well, many of them bringing much more than their value. Tiro ordinary engravings, "The Flower of Joy" and Sandford "The for Wreath of Sorrow." were bought by Mfr. $16.

A little water-color brought $5. A series of Sheldon's National Sports, representing different foxhunting scenes, were bought by Harry Beckett for $3 50 each. He also paid $26 for four Pastell panel pictures, which ho bought for the Lambs' Clubroom. Many of the articles bought by Florence and Beckett will go to the Club, of which they and Wallack and Grainger are members. and of whom Montague was the Shepherd.

The proceeds of the entire sale were a little less than $1 500. The bulls and bears of Wall street are beginning to snuff a coming storm. The stock market has been intensely feverish for the past two or three days, and wild reports have been freely circulated. Gold went up to day to bid. Money became scarce, and WAS paid for at the rate of per cent.

on call loans, and stocks were sharply knocked down. Every body knew that the sellers of the various securities were Jay Gould and his party. But the question arose, Who were the buyers? Mr. James R. Keene was credited with large purchases of Lake Shore, made for the purpose of sustaining the market from becoming panicky.

On being questioned on the subjec: he said: is not a word of truth in it. I authorize you to say that I have not bought a share of Lake shore for ten days past. If any large purchases of this stock have been made they must have been made by Mr. Vanderbilt, whose interest it is to protect the property. I am 8 believer in much higher prices, but don't buy any thing at present.

Most of the bearish transactions which have been made yesterday and to-day in the general list look to me as mere washes." Further inquiries disclosed that Mr. Wm. H. Vanderbilt bought within the last two days, through Chase Atkins and Sam Mills, upward of 50,000 shares of Lake Shore, on a downward scale, from to The largest portion of this blow was supplied to him by Jay Gould's broker, but a considerable amount of shares came from Russeil Sage and D. P.

Morgan. A still more interesting fact, is that the minor members of the Vanderbilt family were free sellers, They were apparently of the opinion that the gentleman" could better stand the risks of bulling this stock. and that. having 8 good profit. they might as well realize it.

The names of the Allen family and of W. K. Vanderbilt were freely circulated in connection with the sales, There is queer gossip concerning the dealings of certain members of the Black Friday party, and several brokers are known to have refused to execute orders for short sales of stock. Talking on this subject to-night, a prominent stock-broker said: "I keep a store just at present, loaning my money at 7 per cent. when I am asked for it, but taking good care to inquire where the securities come from.

I have a kind of presentiment that one or two mambers of our fraternity will be in the State's Prison before the year over." The Temperance Brotherhood of Christian Churches in Brooklyn has suspended Oliver Cotter, the famous temperance spy and worker, AS its agent, because of some charges made against him by James Morton, the Scotch baker, who is Vice President of the Brotherhood. Morton, in his proceedings against some liquor dealers, introduced as his chief witness one H. B. Jones, whom Cotter testified he would not believe under oath. This led to a disagreement between the temperance chiefs.

George W. Moore. of Brooklyn, Grant' who was formerly the partner of Orville in a paint business designed for Government patronage under the auspices of Architect A. R. Mullet, was to day the plaintiff in a suit for $1,500 damages against J.

W. Goode hatters, of this city. He alleges that he was employed by the firm in November, 1876, at a salary of $2.000 to sell hats, and that he was to receive 20 per cent. of the profits on all that he sold. On March 14, 1877, the firm discharged Moore, alleging that he was wholly incompetent for the work he had undertaken; that he disobeyed directions and drew a draft on the firm which he was not authorized to do.

Mr. Moore averred that the firm discharged him because their business WAS failing. The firm into which he entered for the manufacture of paint was composed of Mrs. Eugenia Blunt, the wife of the patentee: Mr. Henry A.

Bowen, a Custom-house politician; himself (Moore), who furnished the capital, and Orville Grant, the brother of President Grant, who was the influential member of the firm. The business WAS started chiefly for Government patronage. They had an with Architect Mullett that the paint should be used, if it proved satisfactory, on all the Government works. It did not prove satisfactory, and the firm broke up in a quarrel, and was put into bankruptcy by the lady member of it. Moore won the suit after his tion with the paint firm had been thoroughly ven- tilated.

M. Chatard, Vincennes. The pub'ication of the vital testimony in the Neil investigation in the ENQUIRER this morning has crented A decided commotion. The members of the Commission, the attorneys, clerk and sten ographer are sworn to secresy. As none of the city papers had the synopsis of the testimony, there WaS lively skirmishing soon after the ENQUIRER came in to find out how the news, which had been so jealously guarded.

had leaked out. It should be stated that the young woman, Edna Poe, whose testimony WAS to gO to the point, was not 8 teacher in the city schools, nor was it so stated in these dispatches. She was 8 teacher in another county, and WAS ought to the city from the north-western part of the State by a man who held a high position during the war and since that time. This afternoon Miss Poe confirmed the testimony as given in the ExQUIRER, with the additional proviso that Dr. Neil was pretty drunk when he made her his confidant.

Your correspondent was put through the mill for several hours to-night by the Investigating Committee in a vain attempt to find out who had furnished him with his facts, the correctness of which all acknowledged. Perhaps the only thing that accounts for his not writing this from a bastile is the lucky coincidence that the Committee has no power to imprison for contempt in not telling. Dr. J. H.

Warner, the witness examined after Miss Poe, and Dr. Neil came near coming to blows, and the' lie was passed while he was giving his testimony. Senator Thurman was engaged in his office all day in arranging his correspondeuce, and attending to the mass of private bu-iness which has ACcumn ated on his hands during the campaign. This evening he charncterized the silly rumor that he had suffered a touch of paralysis as "nonsense." and the vigor with which he said it gave additional weight to his words. The Senator looks hearty again, and the only bad effects he feels arise from overwork, and a touch of malaria is yet lingering in his system.

United States Marshal Spencer to-night started for Cincinnati with George Searles and James Looker, charged with illegal voting at the last election. They have been bound over to answer before the United States Courts. THE RAPE OF THE BOOKS. Lawyer Harland Held in $10,000 Bail. Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.

DETROIT, October case of Thomas Harland, who is accused of impeding a witness and stealing the books of the New York Iron Mine. was resumed before Commissioner Dawson to-day. The defense offered in evidence a certified copy of the writ of replevin, andeof McCloskey's affidavit on which that writ was issued. Objected to as irrelevant, and objection overruled. Harland -May it please the Commissioner, I had intended to take the stand myself and testify to all the facts as they occurred at Marquette.

I did nothing then that I would not do again under the same circumstances; but, in view of the present aspect of affairs, I have decided to reserve my testimony until the trial, if the case should ever come to trial. This announcement was not wholly unexpected, and it therefore created no surprise. Harland said, further, that in his severe comments the other day on the character of the affidavit against him and Sherman's connection therewith, he acted under misapprehension of the facts. It WAS with great pleasure, therefore, that he acquitted Sherman of all wrong intentions. He thought it altogether likely that had he been in Sherman's place he would have done the same thing, and was glad of this public opportunity to withdraw the remarks in question.

Sherman fraternally met Harland half-way. He said he, too, had spoken under a misapprehension; but now, so far as he knew outside of tne case before the Commissioner, there WAS no reason why he should not continue to treat Harland as a professionally honorable gentleman. The Commissioner- am unfeignedly glad that counsel haye come to so just an understanding. Lathrop -We have nothing further to argue. Finney-I ask that the defendant be held for trial.

The Commissioner--I have little doubt of my duty in the premises. It seems to me that there has been a case, or probable cause, made out; but I frankly confess that it is very possible he is not guilty. Finney-Then I understand your Houor to say that you hold Harland for trial. The Commissioner- is the decision. Finney- in regard to the question of bail I have no doubt Harland can give any amount.

The object being to secure the defendant's presence, I think there is no occasion to ask for an increase over the original amount of $10,000. The Commissioner--Very well; let the bail be $10,000. Mr. Harland gave bail to appear at the next term of the Court at Marquette, and the case, so far as Detroit is concerned, was concluded. Mr.

Harland will leave for Chicago to-morrow morning. Another Job for Judge Lyuch, Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.

BERLIN, October the Reichstag yesterday, during the debate on the Anti-Socialist bill, Hasselmann, a well-known Socialist agitator, made a violent, though clever, speech, beginning and ending with threats of violence and bloodshed as the result of repressive legislation. He said the people would hold those responsible for the bloodshed who helped to frame and carry the bill. In concluding, he declared that if the pacific endeavors of Socialism were repressed, the day would come when the Socialists would take up arms and fight against their tyrants. The President of the Reichstag called Hasselmann to order, and said the speech was an lucite. ment to rebellion.

Hasselmann repeated his words, and was again called to order amid loud and indignant protests. He went on to say: "I am not personally in favor of revolution. I prefer pacific means; but if we are forced to fight, we shall know how to fight, and I shall be proud to lay down my life on the field of honor. Let Prince Bismarck remember the 18th of March, 1848." Herren Lowe and Benningsen, Liberal leaders, denounced the methods and purposes of Socialism, and defended the legislation for its repression, which Benningsen declared even advanced Liberals now admitted to be necessary. Benningsen said he bad no fear that Bismarck would allow the antiSocialist law to be employed to impair the liberties of the people.

THAT TROUBLESOME BILL. The Reichstag to-day passed through the second reading of clauses two and three of the Socialist bill with scarcely any modifications. THE VATICAN NEGOTIATIONS. The Tagblatt asserts that Bismarck, in letter to Cardinal Nina, expressed the conviction that the negotiations between Prussia and the Vatican will shortly be successful, This statement is not confirmed from any other source.

The cry of fire was raised, when a terrible panic ensued, people rushing for the doors and sliding down the pillars of the gallery on the heads of the occupants of the pit. A post impeded exit, and thirty-five men and lads and two women were suffocated.

LONDON, October 11. -A Constantinople dispatch says the Russians claim the treaty of Berlin did not fix the duration of Russian occupation in places outside of Eastern Roumelia, and therefore the occupation of such places is regulated by the treaty of San Stefano. HURRYING THE PORTE. LONDON, October dispatch from Constantinople, correcting the statement of 0c- tober 8th, says: "Prince Lobanoff informed Safvet Pasha that the Russians will retain Adrianople-not until the Treaty of Berlin is fulfilled, but until treaty is signed confirming those parts of the San Stefano Treaty which Are not effected by the decisions of the Berlin Congress." This incident bas caused some alarm in diplomatic circles, but the correspondent has reason to believe that the object of the demand is merely to hasten the Porte, which is haggling over some stipulation. A dispatch from Pera reports that Prince LoJ banoff told Safvet Pasha that until the supplementary treaty is signed a state of war exists.

They have direct reference to the Ohio resuit. His aversion to newspaper interviewers makes him a hard subject to get at, and he is dumb to all such who seek an expression of his opinion. To his immediate friends, those in. whom he has contidence, however, he is exceedingly frank and outspoken. In conversation with an Ohio gentleman in public life, from whom he had a call to-day, he said that he was exceedingly gratified that Ohio had pronounced, has he thought, its verdict against infer tion, He had anticipated that the would be beaten in the State ticket, and added that whenever the two great parties in Ohio made direct issue on the financial questions, the Republicans had carried the day, This he thought was due to the commercial classed more than to the farmers.

Ohio has several cities, made up of manufacturing and commercial 1 communities, and while on an issue outside of the money issue they were liable to change politically, on the financia: question the business futerests celtered in cities always voted with that party which advocated the earliest return to a specie basis. The President alluded to the fact that when he was successful against Bill Allen in the Gubernatorial canvass this issue; was the paramount one, and upon it the Republicans won. in Indiana and Iowa, he thought, the Greenback strength came principally from the farmers. Those Stater were almost wholly agricultural States. Dull times had created discontent, and as the policy of an Administration in dull times always created more or lese the impression that a change of policy would be beneficial, and as those who opposed the Administration's financial policy argued from that stand-point, those suffering from the hard times voted with those who advocated a financial change, with the hope of relief.

fie is now of the opinion that resumption will be carried out under the law. Secretary Sherman Says That he interprets the result in Ohio as an en ide 108 that, resumption being expected, the busin a perply want it brought about rather than again go through the embarrassments attending upon preparing for it. He is of the opinion that a large number of Democrats--those engaged in businessvoted the Republican ticket who otherwise would have voted with their party had it not been that the issue was, Shall we resume, or shall resumption be postponed? He thinks all the ills and depression which the anticipation of resumption in January next has had upon the commercial communities, and which has as a sequence affected the working classes, have been felt at their worst, and after resumption shall have been actually entered upon there will be 8 revival of business, He is thoroughly honest in this belief. He reads all the arguments which come to his notice against his policy, and reads the ENQUIRER with especial interest on this subject, because, he says, while it combats his views and denounces his plan. it does it intelligently, and he invites intellizent criticism.

Ile is still of the opinion that, if the law did not deter him. he could enter upon resumption at once and maintain it. He believes sincerely that he will succeed, and for this reason thinks that before the campaign in 1850 intervenes the financial question will be taken out of politics, and that it wiil not enter into the canvass before that time. He expects restored confidence in business circles, the unlocking for investment purposes of capital now locked up. an increase of Values now unsettled, and business prosperity based upon a stable currency wh'eh will not fiuctuate, an increased export trade, and an impetus to all the channels of industry which have suffered from the collapse of an artificial impetus the war gave, and the attendant depression always to be expected in returning from an artificial to a normal basis.

He thinks, too, that there will be no legislation at the next session of Congress which will hamper his plan of resumption; and while there may be movements made in the House to embarrass him, he does not think the Senate will consent to any measure which will prolong the execution of the Resumption Law: and then should the Senate -and he does not so anticipate -second the efforts of the House, that there can nothing be accomplished before January 1. 1879; and for the sake of the argument, admitting that there could, that the President would veto any bill which might be passed inimical to resumption, and it could not be passed over a veto. Hence he feels assured that, as the law commands that the Secretury of the Treasury shall resume on January 1, 1879, on that day resumption, will be a fixed fact, not an ideality. General Kelfer, Of the Fourth District, is here, and is exceedingly happy over the Ohio result, because the Republicans, he says, got more than than they expected; and he thinks that if the day of election had been two weeks off, the Republican majority would have run up to 25,000 or 30,000. He attributes the smallness of the Republican majority more to the Prohibition strength element.

than to any developed by the Greenback The Prohibition strength came from the Republicans, and but for this their majority would have been 20,000. The result, in his idea, has killed the Ohio idea," as it 18 called, and put the corpse in the coffin. Thurman is a dead man, so far as any aspirations for the Columbus Presidency are concerned. In passing through on his way here General Keifer says he heard many Thurman, expressions of opinion from Democrats about think and all in denunciation of him, because they be played the demogogue on the money question. All of the Greenback strength in the State, nearly, came from the Democratic ranks; and after resumption shall have become a fixed fact, he thinks many of those who were disposed to accept the Greenback theory will effect gravitate of the to the "Ohio Republican as party, Keifer so that the good victory," calls it, is farreaching into futurity.

lie does not think the Ohia Democracy, as a party, will have a financial plank to stand he on after resumption. The full Republican vote, adds, WAS not polled this a year. Many and Republicans had not the least hope of victory, hence they refused to leave their farm and other work to go to the polis. Nor WAS the full Democratic strength polled for that party. Many Democrats stayed away because they were and disgusted others with voted the money for principles of the party, nees.

General Keifer is of opinion that Hurd quietly the Republican nomi, pulled through ouly because he had a good cial record, and had voted when in Congress agkinst the repeal of the resumption act. If square fight on hard made in Van Vorhes' district, he thinks money had been the there also. Republicans But Van would have gained a Congressman Vorhes leaned to the Greenback theory, between and him there and was but shade of difference his Democratic competitor. In every case where a square fight was made on hard money the Republicans made gains. Kelfer is furthermore of opinion that the yellow fever at Gallipolis saved Tom Ewing.

The breaking out of the fever there drove aWay many Republicans who had not returned to cast their ballots for Horton. Ewing's election he does not, therefore, regard as in the least An indorsement of his fuancial theories. This election, he thinks, will have great effect upon the next Presidential election. There will, he says, of course be an advance in law prices after resumption; but, when the resumption shall will have been in down operation a few months, matters settle to a natural condition. and them people will gravitate to that party which gave the best money; and iu Keifer's opinion the Democracy threw away all its good financial planks in the late campaiga.

The Sherman Family.
