THE CRISIS.

The election which took place Tor day has been fo' lowed by a longer and more trying period of uncertninty at excitement than has ever followed presidential election in this country bo fore. In the days previous to the intro duotion of railroads and telegraph, it was sometimes weeks before the returns were received from remote points, but the contests were not so bitter nor so close, and there was not such tremond ous issues as are felt to be at stake at present. Thoughtful men believe that the oountry is passing a crisis as impor »nt as any in its history, and on that account, every heur's delay of the news which is to bring assurance of safety or confirmation of the worst fears, is the more disquieting and vexatious. The anxiety to have the matter settled, to know the worst or the best, at ence, has heen intense. And this feeling has been general throughout the country. Bus iness everywhere has been almost en tirely suspended, and the fever of un rest has affected all classes. It would be impossible in any reasonable space to give even a synopsis of all the con flitting rumors and reports that have been received from the various centers ol interest. The public mind has been tossed and shaken by one sensational story after another until it is in a con dition to believe anything or nothing.

The situation at present (noon, Satur day) from tbo best information we have is briefly this: Tilden and Hendricks havo beyond question 184 electoral votes out of the 185 necessary to an election. Hayes and Wheeler have 160 There are three States remaining to hear from, South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida, which both parties claim Either one of them would elect Tilden All of them are necessary to the election of Hayes. From the way things are shaping themselves it is possible that the actual result will not be known be fore Monday. And even when it is known it is doubtful what will follow No matter who appears to be entitled to the electoral votes of the States named the opposite party will be pretty certain to object to their being counted, and what will follow then, no man is wise enough to forsee now. So far as we individually are concerned, while we shall feel supremely disappointed if the Re publican party is defeated, we do not believe that it would be an irreparable and unqualified calamity for this country to have a Democratic President and Vice President. We should very much prefer to have them Republican, but if they cannot be, peaceably and honestly, we do not want them. We do not want a Republican President elected by fraud. We shall not, so far as lieB in our power, suffer a Democrat to be so elected. If it can bo ascertained which party has honestly carried the oonntry that is the party entitled to the benefits of the victory, and no man who loves the country will try to deprive that party of it.

Harde*ty, whose able pen is due tho reputation it had in the field of politics, will continue "a eitl*on of Terre Haute, and before many weeks will show us a paper of his own. That the new sheet will be able, spicy, and true-bluo Re publican, nobody need doubt. It will be a four page weekly, the slse of the Cincinnati Times. Mr. L. H. Hudson, who has had ohar?e of the city department of Tho Dally Mail, will probably assist Mr. Hardesty on tho new paper. Whether he does or not, his talents for newspaper works will not remain unemployed. Qualifications snch as he pomesaes are always in demand and are bound to bring him success wherever exercised. We wish both geactieme abundant property and all the blessings of lift*.

And now that The Daily Mail is out of the way, we shall be able to give undivided attention to The Saturday Evening Mail, and we propose to make it a better paper than it has ever been and second to none published in this State or the West, We have under consideration several new features which will, we beliers, when adopted, add t? its value and interest as a first class family journal.

CARDINAL ATTTONKI.I.1 died at Rome, of gout in the chest, at 7 15 o'clock, Monday morning last. His largo fortune will be divided among the surviving members of his family. His fine collection of gems,antiqulties and works of art, of which considerable mention has been made in the newspapers lately, are bequeathed to the Vatican museum Monseigneur V. Vannutelli, an under secretary of state, baa been appointed the successor, ad interim, of the late Car dinal An ton el II.

IT does onb good to hear of a career so worthily succo*sful ns that of Christine Nillsson. Iler recent visit fo Norway a"H Sweden was one grand ovation—a real triumphant journey. In Copenhagen a crowd of 10,000 people assembled in front ofthe hotel,and a choir of students serenaded her, when she suddenly came out upon the balcony, and, after thank ing the students,sang an old Norwegian ballad her voice, in the stillness of the evening being heard all overthesquare The crowd became so enthusiastic that several ladies were crushed by the rush of people behind them to get near the hotel, and were carried away fainting.

BISMARCK is threatened with softening of the brain and his physicians, who are in constant attendance, have peremptorily ordered that all newspapers pamphlets and the like which might aause undue excitement shall be kept from him, and that only documents of the most extraordinary character, abso lutely requiring his personal attention shall be permitted to reach him. The dispatches state that a feeling of grave anxiety is manifest in court circles, and the forced retirement of the great statesman from the Government coun cils isfeared.

THE dispatches give the most distressing accounts of the condition of the Ser vi- army, if an army can be said to ex ist when it is utterly disorganized. It is said that all the roads are covered with fugitives and soldiers who are dying like rotten sheep. It is likely however that these pictures are ex*gerated for effect, though no doubt the actual truth is bad enough.

MRS. BELLA A. LOCKWOOD havin applied for admission to practico as attor ney and counsellor in the Supreme Court, the chief justice, on Monday, annouced as the decision of the court, that none but men can be admitted to practice before it as attorneys and counsellors.

0 Ult JSUW YORK LETTER..

From The Mail'sOwn Correspondent.] & NEW YORY, Oct. 9. At last the agony is over, the great excitement is at an end, and wo are only suffering from the reaction. During yesterday the streets were filled with excited and anxious groups. The headquarters of the respective parties were kept open all night and the returns were received with applause or groans according to the political sentiments of the parties. I do not think there was ever a more excited feeling in New York, and how long before we shall get settled down to quietness again it is hard to say.

Cardidal Antonelli was born Sonnino April 2,1806. In 1845 he be came Grand Treasurer of the Apestolio Chambers, and upon tho election of Pope Pius IX. he was appointed by his Holi uesa Minister of Finance. In 1847 ho was made Cardinal deacon. From his great sagacity and political astuteness he may be said during the present lengtln pontificate to havo been the power be hind the throne. He possessed more in Quence with the Pope than any other prelate, and he was one of the stongest opponents of the liberal movement in 1848. In 1849 he was appointed prlnci pal Secretary of Foreign Affairs, which place he still occoupied when Rome, ID 1870. was incorporated with the kingdom of Italy, He has shared the triumphs and humiliations of tho reigning pontiff and in his death the latter lost his best and wisest friend and counsellor.

The notion of attributing any special political significance to the fact of the Franklin's non-arrival with Tweed, hat been given over. All-men-of-war are under orders to use sail as much as potmible and as there is no particular hurry about getting the "Boss" back here it is supposed that she is slowly coming on. A wild rumor was started that he would never be landed again, bat after the fashion oC Hale'# "Man without a Country," would be exchanged from one vessel to another nnttl death should release him. Of course it was merely one of the unparented stories that gain circulation, starting, nobody knows how, from nobody knows where, until they die of their own improbability.

and the notice implicating Wm. B. Ogden occasioned much curiosity until the di*

graceful story was brought to light in which Mr. Og^en was shown to be guilty of the ruin ol Ilildebrandt's wife Hildebrandt, although dead, finds no sympathisers as he condoned hi* shame and tried to make it a means of black-mail. Mr. Ogden after his removal here irom Chicago, and his late marriage, built himself a magnificent residence near High Bridge. Here he entertains handsomely his place is arranged with the utmost skill, 'he landscape gardener having made th# most of its natural advantages. lie is reported to bo very wealthy and everything about him has that appearance, while Mrs. Hildebr&ndt affirms that they were suffering thc extreme of poverty.

Mr. Ogaen's case is bv no means the only one in which early folly and sin becomes an annoyance in old age. Chicago seems a prolific place for such histories.

OUR EXTRA DAY'S RACING

and the contest at polo the same day have been the principal events that have drawn out our society people. The grand stand was brilliant on race dav and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The polo game was well contested, although another accident, which fortunaleh was not serious, came near disturbing tfie general hilarity. Mr. Herman Oelrichs, while riding at full speed, was thrown from his horse by the bursting of his saddle girth. He remounted im mediately, however, somewhat shaken but not seriously hurt.

L.Y THE WAGNER MUSIC

given by the Philharmonic concert the sunie evening was magnificently rendered. It is astonishing what some of

V^OUR CITY GIRL8

can go through. For instance, one of them, Friday evening attended areception and did not get home until the wee sma' hours. The next day she went to the races and remained until four o'clock from there to the Polo Club grounds to watch that game, then home to dress and dine and immediately after over to the Academy of Music to hear Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and the first act of Die Walkeure. Sunda at noon she was promenading Fifti Avenue, after attending morning service at a fashionable church, and in the evening was at the Freyer concert, and from there to another reception, it being quite customary here now for many people to receive Sunday evenings. Who wonders that the roses soon wither on the cheeks of the fashionable belle and that she must needs resort to artificial bloom to restore them?

STAGE GOSSIP.

The Hon. Mr. Cody, alias "Buffalo Bill," is playing here in a dime novel drama, evening s, and riding about the streets day time to the immense delight of all the ragamuffiis in the city.

It is said that Clara Morris was so affected by her own part of Miss Moulton, in her new play, that she burst into tears, during its rehearsal. The theatre going public, are eagerly awaiting its representation.

Joaquin Miller, has written a play for McKee Rankin, the scene of which is laid in the far west, but a doubt is pressed as to whether it will be any more successful than "The two Men of Sandy Bar." An unacted play by the late Lord Lytton, said to be founded on Plantus's Captives, is announced as being in preparation for the "Saiety" theatre in London. Rumor speaks highly of it, and whatever may be the fault of "The Lady of Lyons." no play has ever attracted greater crowd*, while the text of "Richelieu" is familiar te every one, and Money is a standard piece. The new play can only add another bay leaf to the crown of the dramatist poet, novelist, and essayist

ART AND ARTISTS.

Gustave Dore who has just been adding the conceptions of his queer brain to Coleridge "Ancient Manner," is now illustrating Michaud's "History of the Crusades." What wicrd pictures his fancy will give us, can readily be imagined by those wnich he has already created.

We are still enjoying the fine pictures on exhibition here. "The Return to thc Convent" by Zamacois, from Mr. Cutting's collection, is an admirable representation of the artist's peculiar view. Tlnoe or four monks have evidently been off foraging among their flock, and all have gotten safely beneath the shadow of the convent's walls with their booty except one. lie is having a struggle with an unmanageable donkey who has flattened his cars, and drrtnped his tail and is dragging back with all his strength. He has upset hi« panniers, and fruit, wine, eggs and poultry are scattered in all directions. The old monk is puling at the bridle with all his might, with anathema marenatha" against the entire race of heretic donkeys written in everv line of his face. The rest of the brotherhood look on, one or two austerely, but .cost of them enjoying the joke.

In strong contrast to this, if things so unlike can be even said to contract, is a

Mother and Child" by Bongereau: this is from Mr. R. L. Stuart's collection,and represents a flaxen-haired, dimpled, naked baby, asleep in bed, while a young, tender, earnest mother bends over it, her sweet eyes almost melting yours brooding, yearning love for her child. To me it is one of the most touching of Bongereau's picture. The child is rosier than some he has painted and thc voting mother's face is exquisite.

The Cincinnati htove manufacturers were wonderfully pleased with R.

They need no reoom mendation to the public."

Two fires occured Wednesday. The first was at the residence of Mr. C. Lu'z, on north Fifth street, about ten o'clock in the morning. The fire departmont was soon on hand and quickly gained control of the fiamcs, though tbe bouse was considerably damaged. Tbe second firo was at four o'clock in the afternoon in the basement of A. G. Austin & Co's hardware store. A clerk was drawing turpentine by tbe light of a candle, and it is supposed that the gas was ignited in this way and caused the confligration The fire was extinguished but not be fore merchandise to the amount of some thihg like three thousand dollars had been destroyed- The property was ful lv Covered bv insurance. *r

THE Y. M. C. A.

COMPARATIVELY few poisons not ac tively engaged in benevolent or church work themselves realize how much is being undertaken and successful 1 accom plished by the Young Men's Christian Association of this city. The Associa tion is yet in its infancy and hitherto has not attracted much public attention but whoever will take tbe trouble to make inquiries as to what it has done in the past year and what it proposes doing, will be fiilled witb sstonishment and admiration. And bis wonder will be increased when ho finds how small an amount of actual cash it has bad to do anything with. Fifteen hundred dollars would cover tbe whole amount and out of this has come tbe Secretary's salary, rent of rooms, fuel, and all other necesaaiyland regular expenses. Flourishing Sunday schools and religious meetings, for the benefit of poor persons not otherwise provided for, have been or ganized at half a dozen or more points in tbe city and suburbs. Cottage prayer meetings are held at two or three places each night. A bible class is taught at tbe rooms on Main street. There is preaching and other religious services at different points every night in the week. Visits are mado to tho poor and distressed and their wants relieved as far as possible. A sewing school for little girls is taught at the rooms on Saturday after noons. On last Saturday it was attended by over eighty little girls, all thechildren of poor parents. The material used Is purchased by tbe association, and the garments made, given to tho children who need them. The girls who attend are from fivo to fourteen years old. They are taught habits of neatness and to be polite and attentive to each other, and will We benefitted by attending the school, in a variety of ways. Besides knowing them, tbe association will be brought into relations with their parents and will unconsciously gain an influence in their homes. If there is suffering among any of them this winter, it will, by means of tho school, find it out. Tho "Cottage prayer meeting" are meet ings held at some house in tbe suburbs by a member of tbe association, and to which the owner of tbe bouse invites as many of his neighbors as will come. It Is believed that these meetings have ac com plished a great deal of good. Tbe association is in good repute with tbo poor sa well ss tbe irreligious. It bss tbe good will of all the churchs and all it needs t" become a great power Is trior® money to work witb. It has a comfortable and well-furnished reading room, well supplied with periodicals and books, and everything possible is dona to make tbe place attractive for young men. It te engaged in a number of schemes to advance the cause of Christianity and public Intelligence, and to extend its own influence and it would be a fine thing if some of our benevolent people woald give it a little more of their attention, snd help it this winter with liberal donations of oash.

'::^'^^AAtVSEMENTS. For along season we have had a dearth of amusements, and the Opera House has been dosed. Political ex jitenwnt has ruled so high that this dearth has not been noticed, but nov that the eloction is over it is pleasant to turn to tbe feasts in 8 to re at the Opera House for next week. Tbe first is tbe «.

LIVING ART STATCES,

On Monday evening. This consists of a party of ladies, dressed—or undressed like statues in a series of mythological representations, giving imitations of the best statuary. We an assured by tbe management that the exhibition will Le chaste—but as ws have not seen it, or anything like it, we cannot freely give it The Mail's indosement. One thing is certain, tbe "living statues" will draw an immense audience, and the character and behavior of this audience will have much to do in making the exhibition good or bad. In conection there is given an olio entertainment by a star specialty troupe of eighteen performers. The sale of seats is now progressing at Button & Hamilton's.

On the next—Tuesday evening we are to bays KARLE'S HAMLET, the melancholy Dane being personated by Mr. D. G. Earle, city editor of the Express. Mr. Earle has msny friends in this city and the surrrounding towns, who will doubtless give him the compliment with a fine audience. He has given the character much study, and those who have heard his reading pronounce it excellent. Ho will have good support in our local professional and amateur talent. Seats can bo secured at the Central Book Store.

Miss Jane Cootobs, tho woll-knowii actress and Btar, is tho leading lady. This company is not the one that played here last season. They are tho only genuine Fifth Avenue people, and "Pique" as produced by thern is ono of the most successful dramas of tho modern stage.

Tho Albany Argus, in speaking of tho play and the company, says: This play, now being presented at tho Lelaucl Opera House by tho Fifth Avenue Com*

f»any,

is undoubtedly the most interestng'and absorbing of the many beautiful society plays given to the amuso-ment-loving public by this indefatigable author. Its plot is harmoniously woven, the play itself appeals to all shades of human feeling, and with tho splendid setting given it, it seems more a somblance of real life than any similar play* yet presented. The company, too, aro selected with a view to harmony in this respect as in all others, and one rise* at tbe close of the performance with a sense' of satisfaction seldom oxperlenced.

On Wednesday and Thursday evenings Augustin Daly's Fifth Avenue Company will appoar. This company, without doubt the strongest combinetion in the United States—is now making a tour through the country producing the great play of "Pique" written by Mr. Daly and pronounced by tbe teastern press as one of intense interest. It is *'a play of to-day" and its merit may be judged by the fact that it had a successful run of eight months in New York city,

The principal character, Mabel Ren-"v* frew, Is sustained by Miss Jaue Coombs,who onoe before delighted Albany Audiences by her exquisite conception of the part. This time she wins new laurels, as each phase of tho character she personates is developed and her action in tbe more prominent scenes, so*' vivid, so life like, touches the deepest^'sympathies of the audience. The play, on tne whole, is intensely interesting/ splendidly mounted, excellent should attract crowded audiences Opera House during its continuance."-(',v"',,theand,beginatMonday^cast,wiilon

nan's intellectual powers and capacities, thc speaker referred to self-knowledge, ,v observation, knowledge of methods, pla-^p ces of public resort, society, love of learn- ,#Ir ing, scnools and colleges, .m means of intellectual improvement and culture. then showed the teachings of the Bible upon all these points, the relation ol Christianity to them, and its influence in making them efficient as agencies for mental improvement. -f

Thesc lectures of Mr. Brakeman's are very entertaining, and are well attended. He is an excellent platform speaker, handles a subject well, is close and logical in his reasoning, accurate and concise in his language. His Sunday evening lectures form a prominent and entertaining feature of his ministrations here."

The grand jury yesterday heard the evidence against Louis Smith. Thc indictment now consists of four counts, viz: "s Murder of Rudenburg, assault with intent to kill,on the person of We»lcy Guthrie, assault with the same intention on Adolph Myres, and also an assail with murderous intention on Frederick Owens. So if Smith is cleared in his trial for the murder of Rndenburg, be will not yet be out of thc hands of the law. There were •bout thirty witnesses before the jury.
