THE DEJ40CKATS KKAU TU IIANO WRITING. A Washington dispatch of last night says: The short cciitoriai leader in the JNew York Sun of to day has caused considerable comment among politicians here of both parties.

The admission of the Sun that "the elections which have just taken place in several State show conclusively such an augmentation of Republican, strength as to render altogether probable that the Republicans will be able to elect their candidate for President ns has alarmed and irritated the Democrats, who charge the paper in question with exhibiting political insincerity and cowardice, and with manifesting a disposition to surrender to the enemy one year in advance of the inevitable struggle." ADVANCE IN COAL. RATE'S. Mr. C. Harris, line and sales agent of the Philadelphia and Reading coal and iron company, has issued instructions to ship pers not send any more orders for coal of any size from any colliery for November shipment, future contracts being subject to November prices.

This has been attributed by those not better informed to a desire on the part ot the officials ot the coal carrying companies to enect another advance in rates; and the probability oi such increase is denied. This is simply a transposition of cause and effect "There is," said a prominent official yesterday, "a panic in anthracite coal. It is already difficult to supply the demand. From this it appears that instead of the orders being designed to raise prices, the probable rise in prices next month elicited the order. rniCAUEUPHI A THEATERS TO BE SOLD.

HAYDM'S STOUT ERVE HE REMAI2i3 PESFECTLX SESSED. SELK POS How the Defense in Connecticut's Celefcrated Case Explain Away Certain Points in the Evidence Kentuckians Arming Against the "Regulators" A Sleep "Walker Drownsd Will CON2il2CTICCT'S CELEKSMED CASK. A Hartford, dispatch of last night says: Drs. P. W.

Ellsworth and Nathan Mayer, of this city, who took part in the examination of the alleged hoot heel prints on Mary btannard head and face, at JNew Haven to day, returned here this evening. They were asked concerning the result of their investigation, and declined to mak any detailed statement for publication, but one ot the gentlemen was asked if there were in the minus of the experts for the de fense any conclusions justifying the theory ot the State, and. was told that there was not the slightest appearance of the marks having been made by a boot heel. On the contrary, there is every indication that what are alleged to be marks made at the time of run df simply the work of decay, and it may be set down as certain that the defense will hold to this view. Mr.

Jones, of Hayden's counsel, was asked tonight what the accused man said when his attention was first called to the boot heel evidence. He replied that Hay den was entirely self possessed and said that it would amount to no more than the exploded claim that a piece of knife blade had been found in the body, ne felt no anxiety over it, and there would be a way found, through Providence, for the clearing up of the whole matter3 so that he would not suffer for it. LAW ABIDING KSSTUCKIAKS ABM ISO. A special dispatch from Owingsville.Ky., gives a distressing account of affairs in the counties of Eastern Kentucky. Law abiding citizens are organizing and arming to protect themselves and the courts against assaults and threats of the so called Regulators, and stop the reign of terror which exists.

So far has this lawlessness a 1 1 a 1 exienaeu mat no one ciare report or have indicted any of the perpetrators of the recent murders. An organization has been formed in Rowan county, and has now about 500 to regulate the Regulators, see that the law is maintained, and, if need be, drive the Regulators from the country. The Regulators have visited magistrates in the upper part of Rowan county, and given them notice that they must hold prisoners at preliminary trials by their orders under penalty of a midnight visit from Judge Lynch. The dispatch concludes with the statement that, if this uprising does not afford a remedy, the Governor will be called upon to send State militia to those counties, and free them from law less men who are committing depredations which are a disgrace to civilization. THE FIGHT WITH THE LOTTERIES.

The Postmaster General Disposed to Give No uarter. A special dispatch from Washington says: The Louisville Lottery cases are to be taken to the bupreme Court ot the United States. Should the action of the Department be upheld there, it is probable that the Postmaster General will issue supplementary orders of a more stringent character than those now in force. It is understood that Judge Key will strongly urge Congress to amend the laws concerning lotteries, declanng all newspapers containing lottery advertise ments of any character directly or indirectly to be unmailable. The postmasters of the principal cities have been instructed to col lect statistics concerning the lottery traffic in order to submit them to Congress.

Judge Key says that the public has very inadequate information regarding the extent of this business, and that the people will be astonished when the official exhibit is spread be fore them. In his opinion the responsibility lies with those newspapers which publish the advertisements ot the lottery companies, ioreign ana domestic. A SIEEP WALKEE DEOWNED. An Oswego. N.

dispatch of last night says: ihe village ot i ulton was excited Saturday morning by the disappearance of Miss Hattie Jones, a respectable young wo man, 21 years old. fohe slept a bedroom on the first floor of the house. The window of her room was found open, and as she was Known to oe a sieep waiser, was thought she had wandered forth in a state of somnambulism. All day Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday large parties searched in all directions for the missing girl. On Sunday afternoon her bodv was iouna the river.

A canal boat man reported to the lock ten der that at four clock Sunday morning, while passing near where the body was found, he heard a splash and something like a shriek. He stopped his horses and aroused the steersman. Ihey threw a line into the water and called out, but receiving no response went on. it is thought the young woman walked in her sleep to the bank ot the river, and was caught and thrown in by the line of the canal boat. A LEAKY TOWN RESERVOIR.

A dispatch of last night from East Liver pool, Ohio, says The new reservoir, which was located on Harker's Hill, above town, gave way last night and let out the water. The reservoir was banked with earth from the excavation, and the break occurrea one or tne corners oi the new made ground. The engines had been pumping all day Sunday and the basin was almost full. No damage was done to town property. When the break was discovered the drain gates were opened and the water mostly controlled in that way.

Our people are sorely disappointed, as everything was supposed to be all right, and it was thought that there would be plenty of water in the future, which the town has been sorely in need of. The loss will probably tall on the town. A TEXAS MURDERER'S ESCAPE. A dispatch of last night from Jacksboro', Texas, says: John Greenwood, an escaped murderer from Panola county, was arrested nere ana sued out a writ ot habeas corpus. While he and, the lawyers, officers and wit ness were in a carriage going to Decatur for trial, the passengers got out at the foot of a steep lull, leavmg the prisoner to drive.

Greenwood put whip to the horses, and es caped under the fire of two men in a buggv. who pursued him two miles. One horse was killed, the wagon smashed, and the prisoner escaped to xne Dusnes. THREE TEARS FOR MANSLAUGHTER. A New York dispatch of last night says: Thomas L.

Linehan, who was indicted for 1 1 A. 1 TT1 A mansiaugnier, uavjng on uiy lotli in flicted injuries which caused to death of Elias Lindeheim, aged 28 years, of No. 104 West Twenty sixth street, pleaded guilty in the General Sessions to day, and was sent to the State prison for three years. He also pleaded guilty to the charge of grand lar ceny, and was assigned a term of two years in the same institution, to begin at the ex piration of the other sentence. PENNSYLVANIA FURNACE BURNED IN KENTUCKY.

A dispatch from Riveiton, Kentucky, says: The Pennsylvania furnace was burned on Sunday. The fire caught at the top of Ihe furnace and all the furnace building and machinery, with the coal house fall ot coal, were totally destroyed. The boilers were exploded and one of them was blown about two hundred yards, striking a stable, but doing no damage. Loss about $10,000. The furnace was owned and operated by the Eastern Kentucky railroad company.

TOO MANY SILVER DOLLARS. It is crediblv reported in Washington that Secretary Sherman, in his forthcoming annual report, will recommend the repeal of the act requiring the coinage of a minimum of 2,000,000 standard dollars per month. upon the ground that these dollars cannot be forced into circulation, and that the en forced coinage is crowding the vaults of the Treasury and unprofitably locking up so much of its resources as is required for the purchase of silver bullion. THE RECENT MAINE MURDER. A Bangor dispatch of last night says: The wallet found on Joseph Banlean, now under arrest, on suspicion ot being the murderer of Mr.

Norris, has been identified as the one carried by the murdered man. Ban lean was arraigned in the police court, this morning, for the murder of James J. Nor ris, at Bradley, on Friday night last. He pleaded "nt guilty," and was committed for examination on Thursday next. A CARELESS SMOKER'S DEATH.

A dispatch of last night from East Orange, N. says: The barn and cider mill of J. Skinner were destroyed by fire last night. A man named Patrick, who slept there, was burned to death. The fire caught probably from his pipe.

The splendid residence of Skinner was saved with much difficulty by buckets. There are no fire engines in town. Skinner and his family are in the west. AN ENGLISH VIEW OF CO OPERATION. A New York dispatch says George J.

Holyoake, the eminent English advocate of co operation, expresses the view that if the co operative system should ever be fully adopted here, the progressive American spirit would push it to that extent that applications for it would be discovered which would surprise even its original ad vocates. WILMINGTON'S III Gil WAV ROBBERS. A Wilmington dispatch of last night says: This afternoon a young man well known to the police of this city was arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the daring highway robbery Saturday evening. A re ward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the assailants has been offered by Mayor Allmond. Mr.

Toft, the wounded man, is still in a critical condition and the physician has but little hopes of his recovery. PENSION OFFICE BUSINESS BEHIND HAND. A dispatch from Washington has the fol lowing "Inquiry at the pension office re veals the fact that business is behind hand there to an extraordinary degree. The pension arrears act has completely overwhelmed the office." ESSENCE. Pauperism is increasing in Ireland.

There is a big boom in postoffice busi ness. The obelisk is coming, and the World is well nigh frantic with delight. The annual reunion ot the Society ot the Army of the Tennesse will take place in Chicago this week. Tilden may now be regarded as the great Democratic mummy. He has been laid away on a shelf.

The number ot convicts pardoned out ot the Kentucky penitentiary by His Pestilency Blackburn has reached 210. New York and Indiana will be the battle ground for the next campaign and that excited period will be on us almost beiore we know it. Judge Lynch has opened court in Min nesota. A man named Meade confessed to arson and murder, and was promptly lynched for his pams. Beacoxsfield evidently intends to hold on to office, if his remarks at the inauguration of London's Lord Mayor last night mean anything.

lioswELL Beardslet, ot North Lansing, N. is the oldest postmaster in the United States. He has held the position since June 28th, 1828 nearly 52 years. A Berlin correspondent says the Lm peror Wilhelm recently assured the Czar, a special private letter, that neither he nor his son, "unser ritz, would ever make war against Russia. According to the Jbrnscopal lieamer, Bishop Stevens, of the diocese of Philadelphia, who has been seriously ill for some time, is convalescent.

He is not yet able to attend to busmess, but time only is needed for his recovery. A Long Island City alderman was found in an unconscious condition in a New York street on Saturday night, was jailed as an inebriate, and next morning was found to be dying with a dislocated spme. 1 hat's al most as baa as clubbing a man to death. Two new regiments ol lancers to be formed in the Russian army are to be named after the Emperors of Germany and Aus tria. Appearances may be, and often are, deceiving, but the activity in Russian military circles is suggestive, to say the least ot it.

'OwADthe power some giftie gie us." The Mobile Register says 'the Southern States are the most peaceful, prosperous and law abiding communities in the civilized world." This, is either lamentable ignorance or brazen impudence. If the first, the poor Southerners are to be pitied if the latter, they deserve the severest censure and punishment jwhich can be" visited upon them. For a newspaper which has for its editor the compiler of a hand book of national politics, the Philadelphia Press makes a good many ludicrous mistakes. A recent instance of the truth of this assertion is the Press' statement that General Grant's ma jority over Mr. Greeley in the Presidential contest ot 1872 was 213,041.

Grant ma iority that year was just 137,728. West Chesteriaks were surprised on Sunday to see in their streets a middle aged man dressed in the style oi a hundred years ago (knee breeches, long hair and silver buckles), like that which William Penn is represented to have adopted. He is Joshua Jacob, a visiting Friend from Lim erick, Ireland, who came to this country in order to find a suitable place where his children, of which he has a large family, may be educated. On Monday he visited Westtown school. If he likes the place it is his intention to move to this country and buy a larm.

TnE average Southerner regards every one who timers irom mm as his enemy, The readjusters of Falmouth county, Vir ginia, made an attempt, just beiore the elec tion, to burn in eingy uenerai jd nzhugh Lee, because he joined with the ltepubiicans in that district in supporting the ueut l'ay ers. The "Lost Cause" seems to be losing its influence in holding the Southern people together. When they begin to burn in effigy the heroes of the war on the uovernment. the superior influence ot the purse over Southern devotion to th6 "Lost Cause' may be considered as demonstrated. A correspondent of the New York Tribune claims that the discrepancy be tween the votes for Cornell and the other Republican candidates in New York county was caused, not by the "scratchers," but by the polling of straight Republican tick ets with Robinson's name pasted over Cor nell's.

He claims also that every one of these votes was paid for by Iilden or his tools; that the Cipher Ogre expected in this way to make up for the detection of the Kellyites, and that this accounts for the confidence ot the Tildenitcs even up to the day ot election. In view ot 1 llden way of thinking and method of operating, this theory is very plausible. SECOND EDITION. THE RESULT IN NEW YORK. THE CASVASSOr VOTES TO BEGIN TODAY.

The "Whole Republican Ticket Elected Except the Can didate for State Engineer Preparation for Gen. Grant's Reception at Chicago and "Wash ington The Democrats Alarmed. THE CANVASS OP THE NETT IOKK VOTE. A New York dispatch says The official canvass in this city will begin to day, and there are many conflicting claims of candi dates to be settled. Irving Hall insists on its charges of fraud in the count.

It is ex pected that Mayor Cooper will make some nominations to day. Repeating by New York ruffians is alleged to have taken place in Queens county on election day. Ihe latest returns in regard to the vote in the State at large continue to indicate that IIos kins has a plurality of 1,500, and that, excepting Soule, his associates are all elected. Another dispatch says: JUispatches Irom the interior of the State yesterday do not change the result as already published, but they increase the majority of Mr. George G.

Hoskins for Lieutenant Governor to neerly 1,500. In the estimates previously made of the vote for Mr. Hoskins, care was taken to put all districts where there was any doubt at the very lowest figures. Yesterday the returns were filed in the offices of the county clerks, and from these it was found that in very many case3 the vote was larger than had been anticipated. During the aiternoon dispatches were re ceived at the headquarters of the Republican State Committee stating what the vote was, and most cf.them gave an increase varying from 30 to 300 and over on the figures as published.

The final summing up increased the total of the vote on Lieutenant Governor nearly 1,000, making it certain that Hoskins is elected. It will thus be seen that the whole Republican State ticket, with the exception of Mr. Soule, the candidate for State Engineer, is elected by pluralities ranging from 1,500 to 7,500. MAKING TREPANATIONS FOU GEN. tl ANT.

A dipatch Irom Chicago says: The prep arations for General Grant's reception, although on a less magnificent scale than was originally intended, are going actively forward. Buildings are being lavishly decor ated, and the windows along the line of march are already bought up. Large excursions trom the country are arranged over every line of railroad centering here. The Board of Trade to day voted to hold no session on Wednesday, and that day will virtually be a holiday, in many business places. A Washington dispatch says The com mittee on the reception of General Grant met to day.

Judge MacArthur, Chairman of the meeting, stated that in pursuance of the action of the citizens meeting of October 27, he had selected a committe of 100 to make preparations for the reception of Gen. Grant when he should visit Washington. selecting this committee, he said, he had endeavored to appoint gentlemen who represented the business interests of Washington. An inquiry was made whether any information had been received indicating the time Gen. Grant would visit the city.

No one present being able to give the desired information, the Chairman was empowered to communicate with the Gen eral, inviting him to Washington and re questing that he name the date upon which he may be expected. The meeting there upon adjourned, subject to the call of the Chairman. ODB AGRICCLTUKAL lMlODUCTS. Mr. J.

R. Dodge, the statistician of the Bureau of Agriculture at Washington, has prepared a table to show the quantity and value ot our main products lor the past ten years. The figures are startling in their enormous aggregates. 1 he avera ge quanti ties and values (at home) of our crops per year for ten years are as follows: Corn, 1, 008,950,550 bushels: value, $525,211,002. Wheat, 273,831,740 bushels; value, 301, 481,540.

Rye, 18.010,030 bushels; value, $15,091,207. Oats, 291,030,070 bushels; value, $150,810,592. Barley, 30,000,009 bushels; value, Buckwheat, 10,938,070 bushels; value, $9,204,801. Hay, 35,000,000 tons; value, $300,000,000. Cotton, 4,000,000 tons; value, The total annual products, reduced to pounds, aggregate 173,343,320,500 pounds; valued at or nine tenths of a cent per pound for all 'products.

The aggregate value of the products for teu years is $15, 537,752,010, or very nearly one half of the total valuation ot the country by the census of 1870. The improved lands ot the coun try, which were 188,000,000 acres in 1870, now exceed acres, and upon this basis the average product of each acre of arable land in cultivation is .43 ot a ton of all sorts of agricultural returns, the average home value of the ton of products be ing 17, on the basis ot a ten year valua tion. By this it appears that the average annual product lor ten years ot improved lands in the United States has been $7 37 per acre, including, of course, a good deal of produce consumed at home, he butter products this year are estimated at $170, cheese and milk, beef and its products, pork and its products, cotton, $270, corn, wheat, $410, 000,000. The increase this year in production of cereals over the average of the past ten years promises to be about 28 per but the aggregate value will not be greater. END OF THE ZECHHAN T1UAL AP FKOACII1NG.

Upon the convening of the court at Leba non yesterday morning, Henry F.Wise was again called to the stand. JNotlung new, however, was elicited from him only a rep etition of what he had given on his direct examination as to the connection of Zech man with the murder of Raber. About the time the conspiracy to murder Raber was concocted, the house and barn of Wise were burned to the ground, and the contents destroyed, and with the money he received from the insurance companies lor the de struction of his household effects, he bought the policies on Raber's life. The counsel for defense endeavored to show that AVise had fired the property himself, but was un successful. It is thought that argument on the case will begin to morrow.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION STK1CTED. TO UK UK Hendrick B. Wright, Chairman of the Congressional Committee on the labor question and kindred subjects, says 'Every one of the committee is agreed as to the ad visability of prohibiting, or at least restricting, the continued influx of the Chinese into this country. A test vote in California has been almost unanimous on this head. The American workman must live like a civil ized, intelligent being, who has national wants which must be supplied, and com forts that require satisfactian.

The China man can live on 20 cents a day and grow fat on garbage, where tho white man would starve, ihey bring even their clothes and food to this country. They come not to become useful citizens, but to make money and send it to China, in order to follow as speedily themselves as possible. They arc all single men and do not bring their wives, nor have they any intcnion to stay here.

MISMANAGE31ENT IN TURKEY. London, Nov. 11. The correspondent of the Timet at Constantinople says: There is grave reasons to fear that the reckless, dogged and passive resistance which has hitherto baffled all the efforts of the British Ambassador to Turkey will be prolonged. and that the country will continue to sink gradually as it has been doing during the last 12 months, until some catastrophe pro duces a radical change in the situation.

The City Controller Kefuwa to Audit Bills for Labor Done by Not Kegu larly Appointed. About a month ago, October 11th, Councilman Calder, of the Fourth ward, introduced into Select Council the following resolution: Ordinance No. 73. file of Common Council, requires the appointment of all and every officer, enfrlneor and employee made by the Committee on Water, etc, to Iks submitted to Council for approval therefore; Resolved, That the Committee on Water le and they are hereby directed and require I report at the next rcjrular meeting of Council whether any fcppoiiitmcnts have been made by them of engiueer or oilier employee nt the water house, and why fuc'a appointments (if any have been made) have not been reported for the approval of Cour.clK and If auysocli aproiuluiedts have Len made, to sulu.it the same with their report, in oltedieace to this resolution, for the consideration of Council. On motion, this resolution was laid on the table.

At the next subsequent meeting Mr. Hamilton, chairman of the sub committee having charge of a Hairs at the water house, moved to take the resolution off the table, whereupon Mr. Alricks, as chairman of the Water Committee, moved to refer the matter to the Clerk of Common Council and the City Solicitor, the latter also being requested to give his opinion on the validity of the resolution. This was a sharp game a very clever trick, because the Clerk of Common Council. Mr.

Shinier, had been previously seen by interested members of the Water Committee and the President of Select Council, and it was ascertained from him that Common Council Ordinance No. 73 had been repealed. This ordinance had been repealed by another ordinance taking the power of appointment from the Water Committee and conferring it upon the Superintendent of the Water Department, but subsequently the office of superintendent of the Water De partment was abolished, and of course the ordinance No. 73 came into full force again. It wns revived bylaw.

On Saturday evening last City Solicitor I largest presented his opinion on the subject to Select Council. This opinion conGrmed the views taken by others that the ordinance was still in force, and that the resolution was valid. Mr. Alricks insisted that the Clerk of Common Council was of opinion that the ordinance was not in force, and he would sooner take his opinion than that of the City Solicitor. A motion to adopt Mr.

Calder 8 resolution was defeated, four Democrats, Messrs. Alricks, Corl, M'Lean and Granim, voting no, and three Republicans, Messrs. Calder, Shaffer and Rice, votiog yes. It was remarked, when the vote was announced, that if Councils did not choose to obey the city ordinances they had Imlter burn them. The above action coming to the attention of Controller Cox, and he being convinced after examination of the City Solicitor's opinion, mat an appointments mauc iy Water, uommiuee and not approved vj Council, were illegal, he has refused to audit or sign any bills for labor done by such appointees.

This morning a large number oi uuis were seat jir. Cox for his signature, among them those or the water house employees who were ille gally appointed. 'luese latter bins tie threw out and refused to sign, nor will he do so until he is satisfied that Councils have confirmed the appointments. Cox will submit a communication to Councils at their next meeting, iully covering the subject. The blind partisanship of a few meu has led to the perpetration of a blunder that will do injury to a number of worthy men.

The Democrats of Councils are alone responsible for this more particularly those on the sub committee having charge of atlairs at the water house. This fact stands out boldly, and we regret that it is so, principally on account of the men who suffer the consequences of this stupidity. We pity this sub committee. If the members have brought upon themselves the censure of all reputable citizens, the fault is their own they alone arc to blame..
