Eight or ten years ago he was an employe in the Government print ng office. He left here and became a politician in louIsiana. He was the chief election officer of East Feliciana parish, in that State, in 1876, and, after making one return favorable to Tilden, subsequently made another giving Hayes the parish. The election of the State turned upon Anderson and his return of the garish vote. The Returning Board counted Is (Hayes') return, and Anderson afterward claimed the reward which he alleged had been promised him for making it. As a witness before the Potter Committee, he produced certain correspondence between niniself and Hon. Stanley Matthews. Among the letters was one that attracted much notice, recommend ng that Anderson be appointed to a “Consulshipin a warm climate. ” Anderson won a notorious but unenviable reputation as a witness.

THE ELECTION. The Country Swept Over by a Democratic Simoom. New York State Goes Democratic by a Majority of Over One Hundred Thousand. And Pennsylvania Follows Suit with Something Like Thirty Thousand. The Democrats Make Gains on Congressmen Almost Everywhere. Twenty-six States held elections o« Tuesday, Nov. 7, and the result was a series of Democratic triumphs such as has not been witnessed since the political tidal wave that swept over the country in 1874. Grover Cleveland was elected Governor of New York by 150,000 majority; Robert E. Pattison Governor of Pennsylvania by a plurality of 25,000; Benjamin F. Butier Governor of Massachusetts by a majority of 20,000; Clifton IL Breckinridge Congress-man-at-Large from Arkansas by nearly 20,000; William B Bate Governor of Tennessee by 5, (X 0 Thomas M. Waller Governor of Connecticut bv 3,500; M irtin V. B. EJgerly Governor of New Hampshire by a small majoritv; John Ireland Governor of Texas and Hugh 8. Toompson Governor of South Carolina by overwhelming figures; William IL Myers Secretary of State in Indiana by less than. 10,000; T. Ruffin Judge of the Supreme Court of North Carolina by several thousand; and Charles C. Stockley Governor of Delaware; James W. Begole'Governor of Michigan, by a small majority; and their entire State ticket in North Carolina by 15,(XX) majority. The vote in Colorado and Kansas on Governor is exceedingly close, both parties claiming the victory at this writing. The Republicans elected* James W. Dawes, Governor of Nebraska by 15,000 majority. In the Congressional conte-ts the most noteworthy event is the defeat of George M. Robeson in New Jersey. The Democrats in this State elect four Congressmen an I the Republicans three. The Democrats carry the Legislature, thus securing ths United States Senator. In Connecticut the Democrat** elect three of the four Congressmen, a gam of two. The Legislature is Republican. Georgia chose a solid Democratic delegation to Congress. Louisiana elected all the Democratic candidates for Congress except in the Third district, where William Pitt Kellogg leads. The Wisconsin Congressional delegation stands five Democrats and four Republicans. All the South Carolina Congressmen are Democrats except Mackey, who captured the Seventh district. The Texas delegation is Democratic throughout. The Republicans elect two Congressmen in Kentucky, the remainder being conceded tx> the Democrats. Tennessee elects eigh’ Democrats and one Indepe dent, one district being in doubt. The Democrats make large gains in Cmgressmen in Pennsylvania. The delegation stands seventeen Democrats and ten Republicans. The Republicans probably elect one Congressmen in Arkansas—Wi Hums, in the Second distri t—the other districts returning De nine ats. The Nebraska delegation is exclusively Republican. The Republicans clatm a solid Congressional delegation in Minnesota. In Maryland the Republicans have probably elected two members. lowa sends to Washington an unbroken Republican delegation. The returns from Indiana are so meager that no opinion can be foi med nt this writing a** to the result on Congressmen. In Michigan Julius C. Burrows, Republican candidate for Congress in the Fourth district, was defeated by George L. Yap e, Democratic The other dis* ricis are probably Republican, though the Democrats claim two. In California the vote was close on State officers. The Congressional delegation will probably stand four Democrats an 1 two Republicans. In Illii ois, William K. Mmphy, Demo’rat, carried the Twentieth district; P. C. Hal y, Democrat, the Eigh h; R ehn d W Towiuhend.’Democrat, the Nineteenth; Ran < mW. Dunham. Republican, the First; John F. Fineitu, Independent Democrat, the Second; George IL Davi . Republican, the Third, and George E. Adams. Republican, the Fourth. No returns received from the ot'ier districts up to this writing. In Mor da both of the Congressmen chosen w**re Dem crats. in New York the Democrats gained at east two Congressmen, and have a majority in the State Legi-lature. Rhode Island elects two Republican Congressmen. In Virgin a. John 8. Wise, theMahone candidate for Comgressman-at-La ge,is elected by B,IW or 10,(iu> majority. The Mahonites claim six other Congressman, a gain of two. In Missouri ihe Democrat-* elect all fourteen of the Congressmen. In Mississippi, Cha'mers, Repub’ican. is elected, and the Republicans claim two other Congressmen. THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. INDIANA. ** The Democrats elect Congressmen in the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Twelfth Districts, and the Republicans in the Sixth, Seventh. Tenth. Eleventh, and Thirteenth. Tfce Eighth and Ninth are doubtful. Senator McDonald and Hon. W. 11. English, of the Democratic Central Committee, claim again of four Congressmen, viz: First, Fifth, Ninth and Tenth districts, and a majority of the State ticket of 5,()U0 to B.(KXJ, also a clear majority in the House of Representatives, but concede the Senate is close on account of a majority of the Senators holding over. 'The Republican committee concede the State to be very close, but claims the election of CoDeressnien in the Eighth and Ninth distrffts. Later returns indicate that DeMott (Rep.) in the Eighth, Orth in the Ninth, and Pierce in the Tenth Congressional districts are defeated. This will give the Democrats nine and the Republicans four Congressmen. The Democrats will have a majority in the Hou.»e of Representatives and probably in the State Senate. From the best figures obtainable at this time the Legislature will stand: Senators holding over—Democrats, 9; Republicans, 14. Elected—Democrats. 18; Republicans. 8; doubtful, 1. Lower House —Democrats. 65; Republicans. 35. NEW YORK. The World makes Cleveland's majority 170,600, and that of Slocum.for Congressman at large, 100,006. Latest reports increase the Democratic majority everywhere, and indi« ate that forty-five out of sixty counties in the State have gone Democratic. Among the rc markable changes is that in Cayuga county, which gave 3,400 majority for Garfield, and now gives 2,000 for Cleveland; and Monroe county, which shows 1,200 Democratic majority against 3,360 Republican majority in 1881). NEW HAMPSHIRE. Hale (Rep.) for Governor is elected by a small majority. The Senate stands 11 Republicans and 4 Democrats. Chze district makes no choice, and two districts are in doubt. The Republicans will have about 65 majority and foiu of five Councilors- Haynes and Ray, Republicans, are e.ected to Gongress. RHODE ISLAND. Henry J. Spooner and Jonathan Chase. Republicans, are re-elected Representatives in Congress hy large relative majorities on a light vote. ‘

CONNECTICUT. A dispatch from Hartford says: Day fair and vote quite full. Throughout the State there has been a falling off from the vote of 1880. The Republican loss is very much greater than the Democratic. The probability is the Democrats have elected the State ticket and three Congressmen. Later dispatches indicate the election of the following Congressmen: Eaton (Dem ), First district; Mitchell (Dem.), Second; Waite (Rep.), Third; Seymour (Dem.), Fourth. The Republican candidate for Comptroller, General Frank Sloane, is probably elected. MASSACHUSETTS. The total vote of Massachusetts but one town gives Butler, 133,904; Bishop, 120,612; Almy, 1,829; Butler's plurality, 13,39*3. The returns show a plurality on the Republican State ticket, except Bishop, of about 1,600. The Democrats gain three Congressmen. PENNSYLVANIA. A Philadelphia dispatch says: “Scattering returns from the State show large Democratic gains over the vote of last year. Pattison has undoubtedly carried this city and will have a plurality of over 20,000 in the State.” Additional returns indicate the overwhelming defeat of the Republicans. Speaking of the result, Simon Cameron says: “The defeat of the Republican party in the State would have a bad effect because it would keep both factions apart; they could never, in his opinion, unite, and would defeat each other when occasion rendered it necessary by voting with the Democrats.” Official and estimated returns from every county in the State, except Elk and Forest, give Pattison (Dem.), for Governor, 32,122 plurality. VIRGINIA. Unofficial returns from the Fifth district indicate the election of Cobell, DemocratThe Seventh district in a close contest between O’Ferroll, Democrat, and Paul, coalition. John D. Wise, for Congressman at large, is certainly elected by a handsome majority. TENNESSEE. From complete returns from twenty-five counties of the State and partial returns from others, the Democratic Central Committee estimates Bates’ majority over Hawkkins (Rep.), for Governor, at 30,000. The Bates Legislative ticket will have a majority in both houses. ALABAMA. In this State the Democrats took in everything in sight LOUISIANA. Associated Press reports from various points in the State indicate the election of the entire Democratic Congressional delegation, except in the Third district, which is regarded as doubtful MISSO ÜBL Returns are coming in slowly, but the indications are that the Democratic majority over the State ticket will be about 60,000. A private dispatch from a thoroughly well posted gentleman at Springfield, Mo. t to an associated press correspondent here, says that the Thirteenth district has gone Democratic, and that Judge Fyan, Democrat, will have fully 500 majority.

The Republicans conceded the election of Gleck. Democrat, for Governor. The Democrats claim he will have from 12,000 to 20,000 plurality. . MICHIGAN. Fuller returns do not change the result on the State ticket The Republicans lose their Governor by 8,000 or 10,000, and carry 7 the rest of the State ticket by an equal or larger majority. The Legislature is Republican on joint ballot beyond a doubt. In Congressmen there arc extraordinary changes. The Democrats, from present appearances, will carv Maybury, First district; Eldridge, Second district; Yahl, Fourth district; Houseman, Fifth district; Winans Sixth district; Carleton, Seventh district. The Republicans wi’t have the remainder unless the Ninth district joins in the stampede, from which there are yet not sufficiently definite returns to determine the result This gives a majority of the delegation to the Democrats. Official returns may change the result in the Sixth and Seventh districts. ILLINOIS.

MURDEROUS MADNESS. The Insane Deed of the Wife of a Celebrated Insanity Expert. Mrs. Dr. Edward C. Soguin Kills Herself and Her Three Children. An awful tragedy occurred in the family of Dr. Edward C. Seguin, the famous specialist in insanity cases, at his residence in New York city. The wife of Dr. Seguin, nged 36, took her three children to a room at the top of the house, blindfolded them, tied their hands behind their backs, and then shot each one in turn through the head The insane woman immediately dealt herself the same death The sickening details of the unnatural crime are embraced in the following te.egraphic report of the aflLir: The ch Idren w re Bdward I) , aged 6 veaie; John Van Duyo, aged 5 yeaiw, and Jeannette. 4 years. They were all shot through the head and Ins antly killed The mother’s death was Rs sudden* as theirs. The irig .tful feature of the tragedy is the manner of the murder. Mrs. Seguin to k the chi dren t > an empty spare room at the top of a five-story nou e in the ab ence o' her husband, and while the servants were engaged in the basement, and locket herself in with them. The servants believe! they had gone out fora walk. What happened in the room will never be known, but when Dr. Amidon, Mrs. Seguin’s brother, called, at 5 o’c’ock, and, with his suspicions aroused by the long absence of the family, ma lea search of t e house, the mother and children were found dead, all shot through the head. The children’s hands were t : ed behind their backs with whipcord. They were blindfolded with handkerchiefs, and, from all appearances, they must have been f*liot while playing at blindman’s buff with their executioner. They bad been dead for at least an hour and a half, and were quite cold when discovered. Three pistols were found in the room, all of heavy caliber, and all had been w-ed. Mrs. Seguin had been despondent from physical causes for some time, but she has shown no evidence of insanity. She was a small, slim woman of nervous’temperament. Her domestic life was very happy, and there was no family trouble. Dr/Seguin is a noted specialist in cases of insanity. His father was equally so. His wife was the daughter of a Massachusetts tanner. The couple moved in the best society. The family lived in a five-story brownstone front English basement house, elegantly furnished. The room in which the tragedy took place is on the fifth floor, and is scarcely ever used by the family. The three servants in the house noticed during t he day that Mrs. Seguin was in the moody condition she had been in for several we ks. and which her brother. Dr. Amidon, te;med “the blues,” About 11 o’clock he called upon her. and she said she did hot feel well, and had written to Dr. Henry Di aper, who had been invited to dine with the family, to defer his v sit. This note she asked her I rother to send. He took it, jokingly, and told her they would all enjoy themselves. Dr. Amidon called on hi s ster at 3 o’clock, and was told she had gone out lor a walk. He returned at 5 o'clock but Mis. Se_uin had not yet returned. The hall-boy incidentally mentioned that the door of the spare room was locked and the key l one A sudden u picion se zed the doctor tba Mrs. Segu n hid gone to the Central Park and drowned herself and t ie ch Idr n. H • cou d not expla n why he th ught t.nifl. He imn ed’ately went up st irs and bur t the door of the room open. Tae horr ble s ght met his eyes. Almost in ti e imddl *of th- floor lay the dead t»< dy of the < Idcst boy, Edward, *n a pool of blood. Partly n a closet lay Mrs. S guin, grasp ng m I.er right hand a b g p arl handle 11 evolver. Inside the closet lay the boy John and the girl Jeannette. There could be no doubt the mo! her had taken the children into the room on the pretense of playing biindman's buff. She had le I the two youngest into the closet, and locked them in while she murdeied the oldest boy. The pistol with which he wa* shot was a target-practice weapon, with a barrel eleven inches long. It lay beside him, ami the bullet ay on the floor. It had passed through his head. The maniac mother then proceeded to the closet, and with a heavy thirty two-caliber revolver, wiih which she a terward blew out her own brains, shot the other two children. Dr. Amidon cut the strings that bound the children's hands and laid them on the bed. The police and Coroner weie notified at once. Nothing was found in the room to explain the motive for the terrible crime. The maiflac had held the weapon close to her victim’s heads, for the handkerchiefs on their faces had been burned. The face of the little grl wore a look of innocent surprise that cut more deeply than any other feature of the dreadful deed. On the table lay a box of cartridges and a third pistol. Sudden insanity is the on y motive know® for the deed. Mrs. Seguin was neatly dressed. The cßildren were lovely little things, and all the family she had. PUBLIC DEBT. The Monthly Statement. A Washington dispatch says: The publicdebt statement for the last month shows that the Government is still able to reduce the debt at the rate of $500,000 per day. The influence of the new law as to gold certificates is observable in the increased number outstanding. There has been an increase in the month in the available balance of the treasury, and it is now a considerable sum in excess of the 40-j>er-cenL reserve for redemption purposes, which it has been the custom of the treasury to maintain.

holding Charles’ hand. She heard a strange noise in tin; street near them. Looking she saw the boys with a little ecru dog. One boy had tied a string to the poor little dog’s tail, and on the other end of a string was a deserted ovster can. "“Oh brother!” said Lucy, “see what the wicked boys are doing.” And then tears filled her eyes, because she felt sorry for the dog. Then Charles asked the boys to lett he doggo. They would not do this but said they would sell him the dog for 25 cents. “If we buy the dog, Lucy, you can have no ice-cream, for 1 have only 25 cents in my pocket,” said Charles. Then Lucy was very sad, for she loved ice-cream dearly, but still she knew it was her duty to prevent the dog from suffering. So for a moment she was silent, and then looked up to her brother she said in her pretty way: “Yon kick in the ribs of the boys, dear brother, and I will hustle the pup up the alley.” And so Lucy had her ice cream, after all.— Ch ua'jo Tribune. LACERATED LYNCHERS. Dreadful Affair at Ashland, Ky., Over Possession of Two Murderers. The Troops Open Fire on the Mob with Fatal Effect. rTelccram from Ashland, Ky.J Win. Neal and Ellis Craft were convicted some months ago at the Catlettsburg (Boyd county, Ky.) Circuit Court of the murder of Robert and Fannie Gibbons and Emma Carrier. They were granted a new trial by the Supreme Court George Ellis, an accomplice, who confessed and was sentenced to imprisonment for life, was hanged by a mob at Ashland, last summer. On M< nday last Neal and Craft, guarded by 220 State troops, with one section of artillery, arrived at Catlettsburg front Lexington, where they have been held for safekeeping, to stand trial. Yesterday Judge Brown granted a change of venue to Carter county. Last night a mob at Ashland stopped a train on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and searched it for the prisoners. This afternoon at 2:30 Sheriff Kountz, with the State troops and prisoners, boarded the* steamboat Granite State for Maysville, intending to go thence by rail to L xington to the jail to confine the prison•rs unt 1 trial The mob at Ashland, which is five miles down the river to Catlettsburg, seized a ferryboat and stood out to intercept them. The Granite State, under full headway, st earned around the ferryboat, when, seeing they w. re about to 1 se their prey,the mob opened fire, which was returned by the troops with fatn effect. The ferryboat party, fin-ling the troops were in earnest, withdrew,‘with one killed and several wounded. The buttle was for several minutes pretty hot, but the steamboat rapidly got away and out of range of the shore in front of the Aldine Hotel. The fire of the troops was sever e, the shots passing over the ferryboat and killing five spectators and wounding twenty-one others. Among those killed was a woman an i an infant in her arms, whose brains were dashed out by a stray shot In the m dst of the excitement a runaway team and wagon dashed into the struggling mass of citizens as they tied from the murderous bullets, altogether making a frightful scene. The community is very much excited and threats are made to go to Lexington in force and execute vengeance upon the prisoners. None of the passengers were hurt by the tire of the mob. The following is a partial list of the killed and wounded: Killed—Col. Rippart. George Kener, a child of Henry Dunlap, James McDonald, John Baugh. Seriously wounded — Charles Bolinger, Will Ohnrles Bolinger, Wi lies Scrrey, Will Springer, Moses S -rrey, Gerham Randall and Robert Pritchard. Slightly wound<-d — Mart Dunlap, Alex.

An Exasperating Bi under. One of those exasperating “printers’ bulls.” of which every publisher is now and then made the victim, occurred in an article recently reproduced in these columns from the Indianapolis Sentinel, and which did gross injustice to an innocent party. The article was headed, “Death in the Republican Pot,” and should have read: “ Another Republican pot filled with political abominations was set to bubbling in the rooms of the Republican State Central Committee oi Indiana in 188(1. S. P. Conner, the Republican, saw the pot bubble; Dorsey, the Republican star-route thief, had charge of the pot, with such aids as John C. New and Jo Gray. Dudley and the rest.” ’flic intelligent compositor, in sotting it up, omitted exactly one line—the sixth—of the above paragraph, thus making it read : “S. P. Conner, the Republican star-route thief, bail charge of the pot.” etc. We are happy to say that Mr. Conner is not a starroute thief, and had no connections with that malodorous crowd of which S. AV. Dorse}' was the headcenter. except to make public some of the queer methods employed by the latter to carry Indiana for t’.ie Republicans in 1880. On the contrary, he is an honorable citizen of Kentland. Ind., respected alike by Democrats and Republicans. Purity of lee. Besides the fact that the ice is lighter than water, there is another curious thing about it which persons do not know, perhaps—namely, its purity. Ice melted always liecomes purely distilled water. Water in freezing turns out of it al! that is not water—salt, air, coloring matter and all impurities. Frozen sea water wakes fresh water ice. If you freeze a basin of indigo w ater it will make it as pure as that made of pure r.i n water. When the cold is very sudden t hese foreign matters have not time to escape, either by rising or sinking, and are thus entangled with the ice, but do not form any part of it.
