Tlie elections on Tuesday of last week, cx
cited more than the usual interest through
out the country. Public attention was main
Iv directed to New York, from which the re
sult of the efforts to defeat the Tammany
riug was anxiously looked for by everybody.
The contest in New Jersey was also of an
animated character, and the result in that
State was awaited with considerable interest
iu all parts of the country.
In the city of New York a great triumph
was achieved over the Tammany corrup
tionits. Tweed was the only Senator elected
by them. Only three Tammany Assembly
men were elected against eighteen Republi
cans and Reform Democrats. All of the
fifteen anti-Tammany Aldermen were elect
ed. The lleform city ticket was elected by
large majorities. Sigel's majority for Regis
ter is returned at over 25,000; and Barrett,
for Judge of the Supreme Court, is elected
over Jicdwith, the Tammany candidate, by
40,0 h) majority. The majority for Curtis
and Sedgwick, Reformers, for Judges of the
Superior Court, is about 20,000. The Re
publican majority in the State isaboutlT,-
xk). They have completely revolutionized
the Legislature. The Senate will consist of
twenty-four Republicans and eight Deuio
erats. In the House the Republicans will
have a majority of sixty-four. Last year the
Senate stood seventeen Democrats to four
teen Republicans, and the House sixty-five
Democrats to sixty-three Republicans. This
is a most emphatic protest against the cor
ruption of the Democratic Legislature.
In Xew Jersey the Democrats have elected
their Governor. Parker's majority is not
far from 4700. This result is largelv owinir
to disaffection in Mr. Walsh's own district,
whore Parker made a heavy gain. The
Legislature is Republican in both branches
by about the same majority as last year.
The majority on joint ballot is seventeen.
Tu Massachusetts, although there were
four candidates for Governor in the field,
the election was very quiet, and there was
n excitement whatever. A very light vote
wa- polled. Tlie majority for Washburn,
the Republican candidate, is from 15,000 to
120,000, about twice that of Gov Claflin last
year. The Labor Reform and Prohibition
voto was much less than at the last election.
The Republicans have the usual overwhelm
ing majority in the Legislature.
i :i Maryland the Republicans gained nearly
everywhere, and the Democratic majority in
the State was cut down to 12,000. This is
: g:iin of about 8.000 over the last Congres
sional election, and nearly 19,000 gain over
the election of 1809. The Republicans have
el'-etcd one Senator and 14 members of the
House of Delegates.
In Illinois Gen. Reveridgc, the Republican
candidate fur Representative at large, in place
of ( Jen. Logan, is elected by at least 25,000.
1 Icnry Snapp, Republican, was elected to fill
a vacancy in the Cth Distiict.
Returns from Wisconsin indicate a Repub
lican majority of 10.000 for Washburn as
Governor: and a Republican majority is
secured in both branches of the Legislature,
The contest was an exciting one, and the
State was thoroughly canvassed.
In Minnesota, Governor Austin, the Re
publican cadidate, is elected by about 8,000
majority, with a Legislature of correspond
ing character.
Iu Mississippi, the Republican majority is
estimated at 15,000. The Senate is Repub
lican by a probable majority of 12 or 15 ; in
the House the majority is larger.
Kansas has been carried by the Republi
cans by au increased majority.
The political complexion of the House of
Delegates in Virginia will remain about the
same as before. The Republicans have
probably gained one or two Senators.
At the municipal election in Detroit the
Republican carried the city for the first time
in twelve years, electiug their Mayor by over
JS00 majority.
The Conquests oft he Pennsylva
nia Railroad.
Judging from the tone of the Xew York
press, it is conceded at that great financia
and commercial centre, that the Pennsylva
nia railroad is destined, directly and indirect
ly, to control the principal lines of railroad in
the country while its mighty influence iu
developing new territory, . will call for the
construction of other lines extending in all
directions. There seems to be no end to the
con.paes.ts of this mighty corporation. Not
satisfied with the recent annexation of the
Sew Jersey railroad, the Pennsylvania rail
road company is reaching forward toward new
conquests. Ihe latest news from Little
Rock, Arkansas, is to the effect that it has
undertaken the completion of the Cairo and
Fulton railroad, with a view of making a
through line of its own to the Pacific by the
thirty-second parallel.
This arrangement will enable the Penn
sylvania railroad to control a new and vast
commerce. The Cairo and Fulton railroad
proceeds from the Mississippi State line, via
Little Rock, to the Texas State line, a'dis
tance of about 300 miles. It 13 a land grant
railroad, being entitled to 2,000,000 acres
Twenty miles were completed on the 1st of
ot J anuary last, and the romaindor was un
der contract to be finished in 1873, Now
that the Pennsylvania company hag taken
hold of the work, it will probably be comple
te I in a much shorter time.

5?" The Postmaster General, in his forth
coming report, will recommend the passage of
a law to punisli persons for making "straw
bids" for carrvin the mails. Much, time, la
bor and expense is waited by irresponsible
persons putting in bids, who are wholly unable
to comply with the law and their contracts.-
This sometimes makes it necessary to go over
the entire work of asking for proposals.

The new Iron Fence, in front of the
Presbyterian Church, and the residences of
Peter II. Robeson and Darius Dreher, Esq's,
adjoining, is really an improvement worth
noting. The design of the Fence is beauti
ful, and artistic, being a close imitation of
Hickory, having the limbs, leaves and nuts
as natural as if growing on a tree. The De
sign is by S. R. Coleman, Esq., who is ful
ly prepared to fill all orders for iron fencing
not only of this, but of any other design
desired. Mr. C. is an old Typo, which
is a sure guarantee that work clone by him

What the Pennsylvania Railroad Gets
by the Lease of the "Camden and Am
boy."
Most people think that in the recent
leave of the Railroads of the united Com
panies of New Jersey to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, the latter only gets
control of two lines of the road between
Philadelphia and New York, and the
Delaware and Raritan Canal. This is not
the case. The truth is that the roads
constitute less than one-third of the whole
ainouDt of roads which passes into the
hands of the lessees. These roads com
prise one hundred and fifty four miles oi
track while the whole amount of road
transferred is four hundred and ninety-
eight miles, besides sixty five miles of
canal, two ferrry companies and one bridge
company. The following is a list of the
separate charters that pass under the lease
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company :

And the Prices Went Down A Lesson
for a Chicago Extortioner.
After the fire had swept away the prin
cipal hotels at Chicago, Mr. Drake, of the
Trcmout house, attempted to lease, or buy
out the lease of the Michigan Avenue
house, on the corner of Michigan avenue
and Congress street. The proprietor de
manded the sum of $40,000 for his house.
Mr. Drake did not iuvest.
To this Michigan Avenue house went,
.1 t- ir-t-
among omers, oenerai dliendau to board.
A day or two thereafter, and after mar
tial law had been proclaimed, oup nf thi
J w. ...w
guests approached the General, and said :
"Gcnderal, how is it that the bills here
are so extortionate ?"
"What arc they charging you V re
sponded the general.
"Seven dollars a day," was the reply.
General Sheridan said nothing in re

Proprietor Seve dollars a day, s'r'r.
General Sheridan Is not that rather
extortionate ? i
Proprietor I thiuk not. The circum
stances seem to warrant it.
General Sheridan The circumstances, "
while they may render such extortion
possible, do not, by any means, sir, war
rant, it. It is s-imply taking advantage
of a great public calamity lo inflict upoa
the public an esto-rtioa that amounts to
au outrage.
Proprietor Well, sir, wiiat will you do
about it ? I can get plenty of c&ctaiacv."
General Sheridan Do about it ? Why.
sir, can i you run a iiutei upon a reason
able plau ; give to the public something
like fairness? Can't you run vour hotcfr
at ?4 per day, the ordinary rate of first
class hotels ?
Proprietor I hardly think I shall atx
tempt to da so under the circumstances.
General Sheridan Well, then, by G,
d, sir, I can run this hotel at 4 a. day
