Hc.U of the Now York Citf Electioa.
ian reH-.lt of the New York election yesterday
Was probably the next beat thing for that city
to the choioe of Mr. Darling. By an over
Whelming majority Mayor Hoffman was
chosen. As we anticipated, the contest was
principally between Hoffman and Wood,
although, from the figured, we can hardly say
It lay between any one, it being decidedly a
one-Bided affair. The rote stands:
Hoffman....... - 2,fm
Wood - 2-2,8(2
Darling 18,405
Total 0i,22&
From Uiia it will be seen that the Demo
cratic majority . at the election was about
7,000. The total number of votes registered
by the Assessors was 135,599; so that there
Were over 31,000 citizens who refused to go to
the polls. At the recent State election there
Were polled 111,802, being about 7(300 more
than In the recent mayoralty contest. We do
not wonder that twenty-fire per cent, of those
entitled to vote stay away from the polls in
New York city. The effort to purify is a
hopeless one, and they naturally argue that it
is a waste of time and energy to attempt a re
form. The apparent gain of 8000 votes in the
total Democratio majority is due to the refusal
Of the 8000 Republicans to vote at all
yesterday. In November the Republicans
polled, 26,098 votes; yesterday they had but
18,405. The choioe of Mayor Hoffman is an
Infinite improvement over the eleotion of
Mayor Wood. The reminiscences of the ad
ministration of that oflloial are not calculated
to induoe the people to reinstate him in the
position he so poorly filled in the days before
the war.
The Currency and the Internal Revenue
Not the least important among the volumi
nous documents which are inflicted upon the
patience of our readers, according to ousto m,
at this period in the year, are the reports upon
the currenoy by Comptroller Hulburd, and
upon the operations of our internal revenue
system by Commissioner Rollins. The leading
points of these bulky pamphlets, however,
can be compressed into much less space. Mr.
Hulburd's report starts out with an exhibit of
the present condition of our national banks,
giving their status in each State and Territory.
The following figures show the general totals,
together with the specific items for Pennsyl
vania:

A comparison of some of the figures in Mr
Ilulburd'fl table shows the great inequality in
the distribution of the bank capital of the
country under the present Bystem. Thus, the
four States of New York, Massachusetts, Con
necticut, and Rhode Island have $241,375,901
in bank capital, and $156,073,985 in national
currency, or considerably more than one-half
of the whole amount, while their population
is but one-sixth of that of the Union. That
portion of the report which refers to the failure
of national banks is given elsewhere.
Mc Hulburd thinks that there is, at pre
Bentf ''no immediate demand for the redemp
tion of national bank notes; but it would be
one of the healthiest evidences of returning
soundness in our financial affairs, if it Bhonld
be inaugurated." As a means of bringing
about "this first step towards specie pay
ment,1' the Comptroller argues the necessity
of causing legal-tenders to "command a small
premium." The date of their appreciation in
value ''would mark an era in legal-tender
notes, and at the same time it would be a
healthy reminder to the banks that their cir
culation is a liability payable on demand."
The total-taxation npon the capital of the
banks ranges between four and seven per
cent., but the high premium upon the gold
reoeived as interest on their bonds, together
with the large deposits in consequence of the
abundance of paper money, has enabled them
to pay this tax without encroaching materially
npon their dividends. The Comptroller, after
Stating these facts, continues:
"Bat It in becoming more and more difficult
lorthebauks to pay their taxis and their ex
pauses without rtduolug their prottls below the
amount tbat would be realized upou an invest
meal In Government securities Ttie natural
elleotoi tula excest-ive taxation will be an In
centive to charge blKher rates of Interest In
loaniDg their inou y, uud In tbe end the busi
ness community will pay the tax lu the shape
Of usury."
The inexpediency of contracting the present
circulation of the banks is argued at length
the Comptroller concluding that '

by them, which la a bonus they pay (or their

The Comptroller maintains at oonHlderable
length that it is a fiuanoial impossibility for
the Government to act as the general banker
of the country; and, after diuoussing the
question as to whether the amount of paper
money now in circulation is in excess of the
demands of the country, says:
"Judging of the present volume of paper enr
rency by the high prloes of every commodity,
estimated in currenoy.lt is evident that it la
tnnoh In excess of the actual needs of the
country."
The Report of Commissioner Rollins on the
operations of our Internal Revenue system
for the year ending June 30, 1867, starts out
with a general h-sumS of the receipts of the
department. In the following table, the aggre
gate receipts are exclusive of the direot tax
npon lands and the duty npon the circulation
and deposits of national banks:

The expenses of collecting the revenue in
1867 were $7,712,080, as compared to $7,689,700
in 18C6. The changes in the personnel of the
service during the year were greater than in
any preceding year. Changes of Collectors
were made in 114 districts, in which 369 diffe
rent persons were discharging the duties of
the office at different periods; while in 116 dis
tricts there were changes in the Assessors, 370
persons being on duty at different times.
These multitudinous changes are charged to
the rejection by the Senate of the nominations
of the President. Altogether about 3100
Assistant Assessors were employed during the
year.
The Commissioner discusses at length the
question of the establishment of a oivil ser
vice, for the purpose of securing a more faith
ful enforcement of the laws than is possible at
present. The method of perpetrating frauds
npon the revenue are detailed at
great length, the Commissioner say
ing: "1 believe the adoption of i
civil service like that existing in either of
several countries abroad, with its care in the
selection of officers, and a prompt dismissal
for negligence, incompetency, or fraud, would
secure a very large part of the tax (on spirits)
of twe dollars per gallon." During the year
five hundred and seventy-eight cases were
compromised by the department, with the fol
lowing result:
Amount of tax collected $732,011
Penalties, sa fixed by law . 142,811
Specific penalties 4W.4U8

The report closes with a recommendation of
several changeB in the law as it now stands.

which will probably result in his oflerin? a
oint resolution authorizing the Secretary of
War to strip him of his brevet honors; It is
charged that Barry procured the same through
letters purporting to be from Generals Thomas,
Paine, Garfield, and others, who deny their
authenticity, or that they even have any know
ledge ot the person.. Barry lately obtained an
appointment in the Freedmen's Bureau in Mis
sissippi, but General Howard learning that be
was a common swindler, dismissed him. Among
the documentary evidence against Harry is an
amdavit ot nts attempting an outrage in his

From Chicago to tit. Louis Final Re
flections on Chicago-Illinois and , Its
Development A Doomed Town Ar
rival at St. I.oula, Klc.
ST. Lot is, Mo., Nov, 80, 1867.
I ran down last night from Chicago on the
night express train of tbe Chicago, Alton, and
St. Louis Railroud an excellent road, well
managed, and, I should judge, doing a very fine
business. Ifojud by far tbe best sleeping oar
on this line that I have found as yet on the
whole route. A gentleman remarked to me, as
we left Philadelphia, that we would find that
the farther West we went the better the oars
were. It has proved to be the case. Such
sleeping cars as tome tbat are used on
the road from Philadelphia to Washington
would not be tolerated on uuy well-oonducted
road in the West. The third tier of berths ap
pears to be abanooued on all the Western roads.
Only an upper and a lower berth, each double
are provided. These, on the road I have just
mentioned, are furnished with good thick mat
tresses and wllh clean linen. The wash-rooms
have also a good supply or clean towels. Tbe
ventilation was better than ordinary by fur, the
car being heated by a furnace beneath the floor,
I said nothing in my former letters of the
publio improvements tbat are being made In
Chloago. Her great lake tunnel, for. supplying
the city wllh water from Lake Mlohlgau,has
been completed for some time. The chief work
In wblcn the city is uow engaged is the digging
of a tunnev beneath tbe Chloago river a deep,
avl"be stream which divides the city. Thl

attempting to carry a huge tunnel under the
river on the line of one of the principal streets.
The work Is well under way, and although full
or dlfTloultles, promises to be an entire success.
The great work of ralstug thu whole business
part of the olty to a higher grade Is pretty
much O imp'.oted. This consisted, flrit, In filling
Up the street, protected by broastworka or
timbers on each aide, from Ave to eight feet In
height with gravel. As a consequence, the busi
ness houses were left below the grade. They
were raised bodily by a systom of sorews to th"1
level of the streets. The Tremont House, a
large briok structure, was thus elevated five
feet, and, I believe, without any suspension of
the oidinary buslnoss of the house. The olty Is
at present appropriating a large sum of money
for the purpose of erecting school buildings
The school systems bolh of the olty of Chloago
and of the State of Illinois are exoellent.
Manufacturing enterprises are also receiving
Increased attention. A large watch factory
baa been established by Chloago capitalist at
Elgin, forty mile west of the olty, where a
very fine article of watches and clocks Is made
The pork-packing establishments of Chloago
are now lhe most extensive in the country.
The hogs are killed In the fifth story, anrolled
out on the ground floor in the shape of banked
and barrelled pork. A good deal is being done
in tho manufacturing of Iron, the Lake Supe
rior ore being delivered there cheaply an 1 ex
peditiously by water transportation. Were
coal as easily obtained, the city would have
unusual facilities for this branch of manufac
tures. Every Chicago citizen Is full of faith in the
magnificent, as well as "manifest," destiny of
bis city. They expect it to become the greatest
Inland city In the world. Real estate Is high for
miles and miles out In every direction, and the
speculative fever is as active as ever before.
They point to the forty threo millions dollars'
worth of merchandise shipped last year from
New York to San Francisco, via Panama, as an
indication of the future business of the Paolflo
Bailroad, the great bulk or which trafllo they
expect to concentrate and distribute at Chloago.
Their ideas may be extravagant, but I tbdnk the
olty Is destined to even a more rapid growth in
the future than It has bad in the past. I have
no doubt people are now living who will see
Chicago a city of a million of inhabitants.
- The ride to this olty from Chicago is through
the very heart of tho State of Illinois. We ar
rived at Springfield about daylight in the
morning. From there down I could observe
tho aspect of the oountry. I notice great
changes in the ten years since I first passed
over this road. Where there was then the un
bounded sweep of vision over broad and un
broken prairies, the eye now rests upon splen
did farms and fruitful fields. The State has
developed with great rapidity, and the high
prices of grain for the past fonr or five years are
making the farmers rich. The upper two
thirds of the State is a great wheat andoorn
section, the lower third is a wonderful fruit
region. The peach grows to perfection, and is
cultivated on an extensive scale. During the
fiult season the Illinois Central Railroad runs
special trains of refrigerator cars to accommo
date this trade. Chloago and St. Louie, each,

At Alton we strike the bank of the Missis
sippl. The stream is not as imposing inap

Alton murdered E. P. Lovejoy thirty years ago
for bla opposition to human slavery. Aoarse
and blight have rested on the town ever slnoe.

UICIl PACIFIC RAILROAD
i Banning West from Oaahi
,.i
Across tho Conttnont,
. ARB HOW COMPLETED. ,'
This brings tbe line to lhe eastern lm.se of the
Kooky Mountains, and It la expected tnat the track
will be 'aid thirty miles further, to Svans Pass, the
hlgheet point on t he road, by January, Tbe maxi
mum grade from the loot of the mountains to the
summit la but eighty feet to the mile, while that eg
many Kantera roads U over ose hnndred. Work
in the rock-cuttings on the western slope will
con 1 1 Due through tbe winter, and there Is now no
reason to donbt that tbe eutlre grand Una to the Pa
cific will be open fur business In isto.
The means provided for the construction Of this
Orat National Work are ample. The United States
grants lis Blx Per Cent. Bonds at the rate or from
18,000 to iitjm per mile, for which it -take, a teeond
Urn as security, and receives payment tea large If no '
to the lull extent or lis c'alm in scnrloea. These
Bonds are Issued as' each twenty-mile section Is
aolsbed, and atier It has been examined bv OnKed
Btates Commissioners and pronounced to be In all re- -spects
a first-class road, thoroughly soppHed with
depots, repair-shops, stations, and all the necessary
rolling stock, and other equipments.
. Tbe United H lutes also makee a donation ol ItSOO,
acreaefland to tbe mile, which will be a aonroe of
large revenue to tbe Company. Much of this land In
tbe riatte Valley is among the most fertile in the
world, and other large portions are covered with
heavy plue forests and abound in ooal of the beat
quality.
The Company Is also authorised to issue its own
First Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the
issue of the Government, and bo more. Hon, K. D.
Morgan and Hon. Oakes Ames are Trustees tor the
Bondholders, and deliver the Bonds to the Company
only as the work progresses, so tbat they always re
present an actual and productive value.
Tbe authorised capital ot the Company IsONK
HTJND11KD MLLLI N 10LLA.R3, or whloh over
five millions have been paid In upon the work already
done.
Earnings of tho Company.
. At present, the pioUts of the Company are derived
only from Its local trathc, bn i this Is already muoh
more than sufficient ta pay the Interest on all the
Jtends the Company can Issue, If not another mile
were built. It Is not doubted that when the road Is
completed the through tratlio of the only line con.
necllng tbe Atlantic and Faclflo States will be large
beyond precedent, and, as there wl 1 be no competi
tlon, It can alwajs be done at profitable rates.
It will be noticed that tbe Unien PaclHa Ballioad la.
In tact, a Government Work, built under the super
vision ot Government officers, and to a large extent,
wlih Government money, and that Its bonds are
Issued nndet Government dlieotloa. It Is believed
that no similar security Is so carefally guarded, and'
certainly no other la baaed npon a larger or more
valuable property. As the Company's '
I
First Mort?ae;e Bonds
Are offt red tor the present are NINE IT CENTS 0t'
THE DOLLAR, they are the cheapest security.in the
market, being more than IS per oent. lower than
United Btates Stocks. They pay
SIX FER CENT. IN GOLD,
Or over NINE PUB CENT, npon the investment.
SDb.crlptlons will be received In Phlladelphlaby ,'
