The last previous reports of Connty Clerks showed a Democratic plurality of 1,280. To-day's can­ vass shows a net loss to Blaine of four votes. The remaining twenty-seven counties, with two exceptions, reported progress, and will, for the most par:, report the result of their canvass to-morrow. To-day's reports speak of Irregularities in form. No mention is made of any sextons discrepancy in the count. The several counties which did not to-day complete their official canvass reported there was no rea­ son to believe that, when completed, the figures would show any change from those already given. '"The canvassed returns received by the Deai- dows were broken in the city and limbs were .Wow?1. trees ,... ,r., . ,ft, i ^ rue aorrw. 1:. AMONG the resolutions adopted at a Democratic meeting in Savannah, Ga., was the following: "That we will welcome the day when there shall be no solid South and no solid North, but a solid Union as it was eighty years ago. and when all American citizens, wliite and black, native and adopt­ ed, at home and abroad, shall stand equal before ihe law and be covered and protected by our country's flag.".... Miss Pearl Tyler, daughter of ex-President Tyler, will be married next week at Rich­ mond, Ya. Although a Protestant, the marriage will take place by special permis­ sion at the Catholic cathedral in that city. THE Board of Management of the New Orleans Exposition have made most com­ plete arrangements for the convenience and accommodation of the representatives of the press in the Exposition building. The office will be equipped with telegraph and telephone wires and postoffice and messen­ ger service for the use of correspondents. Invitations have been extended President Arthur and Cabinet, Gov.

No returns had been re­ ceived by the Republican National Committer Ot the Victoria Hotel, and Chairman Draper, of the R^jmblican State Executive Committee, SOUld not be tound. "Gen. John N. Knapp, stalwart Republican from Auburn, said he believed the official can- vas* would make no material change in the Kbllshed returns. ' If there is any hitch,' said , "It will tie in New York and Kings Counties. Up in the country the people know twenty-four hours after the closing of the polls what the result is. 1 think it is a sure thing.' "The official canvass of the Kings Countv Board of Supervisors' returns in six wards, ex­ amined to-day, beg nning with the First, showed Cleveland to have 14,229 votes and Blaine R.216. "John Kelly, ot Tammany Hall, said to-night there Is no political significance in the election of Alderman Waite, Republican, as President of the Board ot Supervisors by the votes of Tam­ many Aldermen. Mr. Kelly adds: ' Waite has Often voted with Tammany Democrats in the koard, and the latter have only corresponded with the retiring Alderman's desire tor courtesy of election.' Kelly declares the Tammany Al­ dermen will watch the count of the electoral vote as a oat watches a mouse. "Roscoe Conkllnir has been retained by the Democratic National Committee to act in any proceedings that may arise in relation to the pending oanvas*. The Republicans have re­ tained William M. Evarts to act for their side." A Kew York dispatch ot the 12th Inst, savs: A change favorable to Blaine of 233 votes in the Seventoenth Election District of the Second Assembly District, as against the returns pub­ lished Wednesday morning, was made by the Board of Canvassers of this county to-day; but on careful comparisons of the police and press returns It was found that the difference will be made np in districts to be canvassed. Eight mote oounties in the State in addition to the forty-one already reported completed their official canvass of the vote for Presidential electors to-day. The counties besides New York and Kings that have not finished the count are Broone, Columbia, Franklin, Greene, Mon­ roe, Orange, St. Lawrence, Schuyler and Sullivan. Dispatches have been received from all these counties saying that the official count ti not Hkelv to van* from the figures already published in the Su n. The delay in malting the footings in the counties named Is oanssfl by the failures of poll clerks to make their reports in legal form. The accuracy Of.^tbe pluralities is apt questioned. The figures in the el«ht hat made returns to-day a little more than offset the apparent gains for Cleveland that win reported in forty-one counties on Tueaday. and pat his plurality back to 1,209. The vartstton from these figures, if anv is wltt be caused by changes in Mew York ' The *sal fight is expected to be made in this dtr.

The total values of domestic bi'Wtilstuffs exported during October were $11,541,112, against $14,740,994 for the corresponding month iu 1883.

The next highest structure is the spire of Cologne Cathedral, which towers 515 feet above the floor of the building. It is estimated it will take but twenty-five working days to complete the monument, so there is no doubt of its being finished iu time for dedication on the 22d of February The President has accepted the resignation ofJudge Hezekiah (r.

THE charters of 721 national banks, with an aggregate capital of over $189,030,060, will expire during tho year 1885. This is more than one-third of the entire number of national banks now in existence. From information already received by the Comptroller of the Currency it is expected a large majority of these banks will continue their existence either by extending their charters or by reorganizing under other titles. There are at present more national banks in existence with1 a larger aggregate Capital than ever before. The capital invested in national banks was in­ creased $15,1:00,000 during the year end­ ing Sept 30,1884 Lieut Greely, despite the advice of his physicians, has gone to Washington to prepare his report He walks slowly, but claims to have fully re­ covered his memory. A Mow York dispatch of the 13th reports as follows: "Official returns have Lieen received from every county in the State except New York. Taking the generally accepted figures for New York (43,236 plurality for Cleveland), Cleveland's plurality la the 8 ate is 1,267. Vp to this even­ ing eight of the twentv-four Assembly Dis­ tricts la Kew York County have been can- VMaed. The canvass so far completed in New York County shows no appreciable change in the tguns at first reported in t he press. Vari­ ous rumors got into circulation during the day that galas were shown on one side or the other, bat they were found to be entirely without foundation. The Canvassing Board in Kew York City has heretofore proceeded at the rate of four Assembly districts a day. Should It continue at this rate it will require four mors working davs to complete the canvass. All the counties in the State have been officially canvassed except six. .These six include New York and Kinas Counties, Monroe, la which Rochester is situated, and Kite, in whlsh the city of Buffalo is located. The Kings County canvass of the electoral ticket -was completed at noon. The board resumed their work this morning on the Twentv-third Ward, and la the canvass of the remaining wards and country towns no change fa the figures already given was found.

The north-bound | < xpress crushed through a bridge and into I Clear Creek, drowning twelve of the pas­ sengers and wounding 'forty. Many of j the dead were mangled beyond reeogni- j tion. A dispatch from Austin, Tex., gives j the following particulars of the shocking i affair: "About two miles south of Hemp­ stead the road crosses Clear Creek:, where Ilia embankments are high a id the water deep. Here about 1 o'clock in the morning, as the train came tiaring along, the bridge gave way just as the engine aud tender had gotten across, and the entire train, consist­ ing of the express, baggage, and smoking ca:s, two coaches, and two sleepers, plunged into the river. The train was crowded with passengers, and the scene which ensued w is horrible in the extreme. As the trembling timbers gave way. a dread- i'ui shriek of horror from the terrified passengers was soon followed by the heart­ rending moans and cries of the wounded aud the dying. The baggage and smoking cars were plunged beneath the water, the former twenty feet be­ low the surface, while the others were al­ most submerged. Those who were unhurt joined in the work of rescuing women and children and the wounded, but in spite of the most heroic efforts more than a dozen were drowned. Darkness height­ ened the terrors of the so^he/ Many perished within easyreach ot help. At the last accounts the bodiejis of twelve dead victims had been recovered. Forty persons were wounded. Many., of the dead were mangled beyond recognition, but none of their names were remembered. The fireman jumped ths moment he saw the bridge was falling, and landed on the em­ bankment. His leg was broken. The en­ gineer remained at his post and escaped unhurt. The conductor did not receive a scratch. Most of those who were drowned were in the baggage and smoking cars, and among them was the baggage-master." IN the Probata Court at Chicago Judge Knickerbocker, after hearing the testimony of Austin L. Patterson, A. S. Trude and F. C. McClenthen, subscribing witnesses, re­ fused to probate the will of Wilbur F. Storey, dated Feb. 1, 1881. Ihe reason assigned is that the testator was not of souud mind and memory at the time of making the will. On the petition of Anson L. Storey, Mr. A. L.

Its Probable Political Complexion, [From the Chicago Herald.] " In the present United States Senate there are 37 Republicans, 36 Democrats, and 2 Readjustee who vote with the Republicans. There is one vacancy, caused by-the death of Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, whose successor will certainly be a Repub­ lican. On March 3, 1885, the terms of 11 Republicans and 14 Democrats expire. Six of their successors have already been elect­ ed, with 110 changes in their politics. The following table will show the status of the Senate, Anthony's sucessor and the two Readjusters being included in the Repub­ lican column: Bep. Dem.

In order to secure a bare ma­ jority in the next Senate, with the aid of the two Readjusters from Virginia, the Republicans must secure five of these nine. That would make their total 39, the Democrats numbering 37. In order to secure a bare majority Demo­ crats must be chosen from six States and Republicans from but three. In case five Democrats are chosen and four Republicans the Senate will be a tie, 38 being the strength of each party. Latest returns indicate that the Repub­ licans have secured control of the Legis­ latures in California, Colorado, Connecticut, New York, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wis­ consin. Indiana will re-elcct Mr. Voorhees. The Illinois Legislature is a tie. The Re- Kublicans are therefore certain to have a irger majority in the Senate of the next Congress than they have at present.

The estimated ex­ cess of expenditures to be appropriated out of the General Treasury to supply the de­ ficiency in the postal revenue is §4,825,539. The total appropriations of the present year are $49,040,400. or $7,058,769 less than the amount estimated as being necessary for the next fiscal year. The principal items of in­ crease are: Compensation to Postmasters, $2,000,000; clerks in postoffices, $400,000; free-delivery system, $535,000; railroad ransportation, $2,934,000 (which includes compensation to the Pacific Railroads which heretofore have been certified to by the Secretary of the Treasury); and pay of mil- way postal clerks, $382,300. The'fitiiincial offieers of the department say that certain items included in the estimates of tho pres­ ent fiscal year--such as compciiH itiou to Postmasters and railroad transportation-- the amounts of which arc arbitrarily fixed by law, were reduced by Congress in the postoffice appropriation bill to Ihe extent of several million dollars, thus making the apparent difference between the appropria­ tions for the present year and the estimates for next year considerably larger than it would be under normal circumstances. BMTMS9 Lart TMT Ml ike Ctmk a Skm if tfe* CmmiU- tteMr** KqiRi fin annual report of the Hon. HHtar Evans, Commissioner of Internal Bevenne for Ihe fiscal year ended June 30, 1884, has been submitted to the Secretary of th* Treasury. The total receipts from all sources of internal revenue ttxation for the year were $121,590,039, as compared to- $144,553,344 for the year 1883, $146^523,273 for the year 1882, and $135,229,912 -for the year 1881. It is estimated that $115,000,000 will b© collected during the present fiscal year, The Commissioner says a falling- off is anticipated hi the present year that will Ktllow from the diminished quantity of bourbon and rye whiskies pro-* duced in 1882, on which the tax will mature during the current fiscal year. Another cause contributing to the reduction of re­ ceipts will be the largely increased exporta­ tion of spirits in bond, on which, for vari­ ous reasons, the owners cannot pay the tax. Something like 10,000,000 gallons have al­ ready been forced abroad during the cur­ rent calendar year. A comparative statement of the receipt* for the fiscal years 1883 and 1884 shows a decrease of $16,041,850 from tobooco. fen. increase" of $2,536,610 from spirits, an in* crease iof $31,184,338 from fermented liquors,' and a decrease of $10,642,- 404 from the taxes under the re­ pealed laws and penalties, making a t«fa>V decrease of $22,963,305. The total ex­ penses were a little less than 4 1-5 per cent of the amount collected. The Commis­ sioner says the diminution of the gros* receipts could not proportionately affect the cost of collection, as nearly the same force had to be retained. By comparing the receipts for the last fiscal year with those for the fiscal year immediately preceding it the decrease of revenue fiom tobacco was $16,041,849. There was an increase of 41 in th» number of grain distilleries registered during the last fiscal year and a decrease of 18 in the number operated. The increase in the number registered occurs, as waa the case in the preceding fiscal year, in the class 01 distilleries having smaller capacities for the production or spirits. In the class of larger distilleries a very decided reduction occurs, both in the number registered and the number ope­ rated. A comparative statement of the spirits of different kinds known to the- trade remaining in the warehouse at the close of the fiscal years 1883 and 1884 shows that while there was an increase in the stock of alcohol, gin, highwines, and pure spirits, there was a decrease in otner grades of spirits, principally in bourbon and rye whiskies, of 17,750.694 gallons. Nearly .two-thirds was bourbon whisky. The quantity of spirits produced and deposited in tho distillery warehouses during the fis­ cal year is greater than the production for the year 1883 by 1,422,431 gallons. The quuntity of spirits withdrawn from distillery wai* houses for the year is greater than the quantity withdrawn during the year 1883 by 2,5101,387 gallons. The quantity of distilled spirits in the United States, except what may be in customs bonded warehouses, Oct. 1,1884, was 96,810,521 gallons. INTERNAL REVENUE. Collections In the Northwest.

American Heats In Germany. J. H. Saunders, agent of the United States Department of Agriculture, to at­ tend the International Exhibition at Ham­ burg, in his report recently submitted to the Commissioner of Agriculture says: "So far as I could observe it was generally con­ ceded that whenever an inspection of our pork is made under careful governmental supervision, similar to that now made by the German authorities, there will be no objec­ tion to its sale in Germany. Indeed, it strikes me that were such inspection made there would be such strong pressure brought to bear upon the Ger­ man Government by their own people that the embargo would be speedily removed. Should further experiments con­ firm what has been already partially shown, that thorough curing in salt destroys the vitality of trichince if not entirely, at least, to so great a degree as to reduce the dauger from meats that have been thoroughly cured by this process to almost nothing, it will doubtless be a strong point in our favor, and proper presentation of the facts to the German Government, should this be clearly proven, ought at once to be made. Until this fact is clearly established, how­ ever, and in ^bsence of any pretense of inspection of American meats, either un­ der governmental or individual supervis­ ion, the position of the German Govern­ ment is obviously souud upon this ques­ tion, and cannot be assailed without fifst demonstrating that their own inspection to useless." \ SHERIDAN'S NOTE OF WARNIN# He Is Not Afraid of Invasion, but WisUl to Guard Against Clril Disorder. 3 =F V ' *>>*. £ "V t i v The Condition of Arliona. F. A. Trittle, Governor of Arizona, ia his annual report to the Secretaiy of Hie Interior, after referring to the prosperous condition of the Territory, says that the unsettled condition of land grants to the Atlantic and Pacific and the Texas Pa­ cific Railroads before Congress, is prevent­ ing to a great extent the settlement of the Territory. The Governor says unless the immigration of Mormons into the Territo­ ry is restrained by law, he fears violence. He urges an appropriation for sinking artesian wells in the higher valleys of Arizonia, which will, he thinks, render fertile hundreds of thou­ sands of acres. The report also urges a geo­ logical survey by the Government, and the establishment of a branch mint. In con­ clusion the Governor says the time has arrived when the people of Arizonia should be allowed • to vote for President of the United States, and that their delegate in Congress should be permitted to vote and exercise the rights of a Representative. A CHINESE doctor, at Victoria, B. C., ia reported to have made some remarkable cures in cases where white physicians had given them up as incurable. IT is now known that Charlotte Corday was deeoended from Corneille, the poet - j. : Die annual report of Lieut. Gen. 8herU dan haB been made, covering the period from his assignment to the command of the army, Nov, 1, 1883, to Nov. 1, 1884. He says that during this time the entire- territory under the supervision of troops- has been unusually free from collisions, re­ sulting in loss either of life or property,.. but that the services of the military m the West cannot be safely dispensed with for many years to come. With liberal allow- ances of ammunition and better facilities for target practice than hitherto, much thought and attention has been given to rifle-firing. The high soores attained in the annual contests for army prizes the past season attest most gratifying progress in this vitally important branch of militaiy instruc­ tion. The establishment of a higher grade of sharpshooters has developed many marks­ men of wonderful skill in the use of the rifle for distances up to a thousand yards, and it would now be impossible for a close line of battle to stand up before a skirmish, line composed of our qualified marksmen. The Lieutenant General expresses great in­ terest in the National Guard of the Statesr and thinks Congress should designate the number of men each State should have, and provide for them arms and camp and gar­ rison equipage, under some wise method of accountability for this property, whenever State governments themselves appropriate substantial sums of money for the support of their respective military systems, in such manner that these sums cannot be affected by party legislation. Excepting for our ocean commerce and for our seaboard cities he does not think we should be much alarmed about th9 probability of war with foreign powers, since it would require more than a million and a half of men to make a campaign on land against us. To trans­ port from beyond the ocean that number of soldiers, with all their munitions of war, their cavalry, artillery, and infantry, even if not molested by us while in transit, would demand a large part of the shipping of all Europe. He earnestly invites immediate attention to the defenseless condition of seaboard cities, and urgently recommends the early beginning of a general system of seacoast fortifications to be constructed in accordance with the requirements in­ volved by the latest improvements in heavy artillery. "This nation/' he says, "isgrow­ ing so rapidly that there are signs of other troubles which I hope will not occur, and which will probably not come upon us if both capital and labor will only be conserva­ tive. Still, it should be remembered de­ structive explosives are easily made, and that banks, United States sub-treasuries, pubUo buildings and large mercantile houses can be readily demolished, and the commerce of entire cities destroyed by an infuriated peo­ ple with means carried with perfect safety to themselves in the pockets of their cloth­ ing" Gen. Sheridan thinks Fort Riley, for si) purposes of cavalry, should be made aa es­ tablishment worthy of our great country. Vi ; The Hennepin Canal. (Washington special,] Congressman Murphy, of Iowa, was hero to-daj*, and is as earnest in behalf of the Hennepin canal as he was last winter. Ho came here to get some statistics of internal commerce of Mr. Nimmo, of the bureau of statistics, and intends to go to Ottaoa, Canada, for information on the commene of the Welland canal. Then he will return to Davenport to attend a meeting called for the 19th inst in the interest of the Henne­ pin canal, which will be attended by several Chicago gentlemen. The bill providing for the canal as an independent measure is on the calendar, and will be reached early in the approaching session.
