SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. Is. 1880.
NEW YORK ELECTIONS.

The vote ofthe Western counties has come in hea-
Willy for Granger, reducing TROOPS majority to little
more than s,0oo--a small majority in 100, 600. 1t is
obvious that the divisions artfully created smeng the
opposition to the Regency have alone saved them
While it is not pretended that any Jacksonians voted
for Grangrr. it is known that in the Southern coun-
ties the strongest Clay neighborhoods from their an
tipathy to Anti Masonry, went en- masse for Throop,
as a lesser evil than ,hr political ascendancy OF Anti
Masonry. While therefore the actual results are un.
f%avorsble, the vote at the polls and the circnmstan
COS which influenced the elections, display Anti
Jackson strength equalling previous calculations, and
i~ustifying the expectation, that when the contest
comes single handed, and ne opportunities Of divi-
ding and dis,ract.ng are thus aba,cd, the next trial of
conclusions will end more favorably. In this matter
We do not suffer our wishes to warp our Judgment

whose candidate was considered also tue An,i-Jack-
son candidate, was irreconcilably obnoxious 10 thous-

tion-that after oil, out OF $50 or I6O 900 votes. he
loses his election only by FIVE or six ,housand-le,
the reader examine these facts, and he will admi,
that as far as the late election is n test, Mr.. CLAW is
Just as likely to get the vote Of New York as Gen.
jackson.
The Commercial Advertiser of Tuesday says:
Election Returns.-Iti is unnecessary to be publish
ing from day to day, the returns, official and unoff-
Cial, OF the election as they are received from the in
terror counties. The grand result is known; and it is
of but little consequence whether that result has been
produced by a few hundreds of vo,es more or less -
The returns from the West swell the sum of Mr.
Changers votes to an unexpected nu amber. The Ar
gus f yesterday morning gives the estimated MAJOR
iy OF Mr.. Throop at l0.092--leaving a few counties
not heard from, but which 1t is presumed will not es-
sentially vary the result. The Albany Evening Jour
nal Of yesterday, which is the latest by several hours.
gives still further returns, producing the following
results.

The skeleton Of an animal, of prodioiou. v;,o u,s
discovered about four weeks since, at the Bic Bone
Lick IN Kentucky. We have the following partic-
ulars from a friend, who received them of a gentle.
man who rcsides near the Lick.
There are ten or twelve set of tusks from sorr
TO Twelve feet long-the claws are four feet long
and three broad: the tusks were arranged in circular
order. as If by the hands of man-wiIhiu the circle
tnc bones were deposited, which when placed to-
gcther. sheYed the animal to have been n least o.
feet nigh, and sixty feet long. The scull bone alone
Weighed 400 pounds. They were found by a Mr..
Finney, about fourteen feet below the surface of the
earth VINO has refused $4,000 for them. The skel-
eton is said to be complete, saving only one or two
ribs"
When, and how, this animal existed, must battle
all speculation. The mammoth himself, so long tho
wonder OF these latter times, must dwindle into
comparative insignifcance before this new discover
cd prodigy. Ifcarnlvorous, a buffalo would scarcely
serve him for a meal; and it granivorous, trees must
have been his tender heritage.

l believe there is now no doubt, not outstanding
the cIamor to the contrary, that this state, rs

by the election of some one of Mr.. Gays very beet
friends to the u. s. Senate, in place Of judge Rowan
who will have leisure to. contemplate that elderly"
which he says slavery best fits the masters to under
stand and enjoy. The returns from other states.
since L have been IN this town, have been in the
highest degree satisfactory, and calculated to raise
the spirits OF Mr.. Clay's friends. That he will be
universally supported IN the West / have no doubt, If
l can Judge from what inquiry and observation teach
me. In this STATE there is still among portions of the
lower classes, The most bitter, unbendnr. uncomnro-
missing hostility TO Mr.. Clay; while I believe / am
Justified IN asserting that the greater pait of the bet
ter informed planters aud tradesmen are as unwaver-
ing IN their friendship to his cause. 1t 10 very Lkelv
however, you may be- informed that this later claSe
is only the aristocracy and the Federalist: for we have

PAINTING.

In our country, there is but little taste, COM
paratively speaking, for this high and beautiful
art. People are apt to be caught by what is
gaudy and high colored in painting, while they
have no relish for productions that are chaste
and deserving of praise. They are unwilling,
too, to pay high price for any picture, how
ever great its merits may be thinking it a
piece OF extravagance, mimicry of foreign
luxuries, and inconsistent with a republican
simplicity of expenditure. They can see no
use in spending a thousand dollars or more on
a small piece of painted canvass, in which they
can find out no rare beauty, and no stirring
power. They would rather lay out their waste
money on dress and decorations, on Hastings,
and on balls When such is the state of public
taste, we must not be surprised that there are,
in our country, but few painters of high merit !;
few men who have deep reverence foS their
art, and who are above bowling to a false and low
taste who are content with chasteness, and
whose works have relish of grandeur and sim
plicity. We could name some exceptions to
this remark but, in general, it is too well
founded. Where you will find a thousand daub.
ers, you can hardly meet with one painter of
pure taste, with true love, and deep study
of his art. Now, it is evident, that this arises
from the want of patronage and of the Just per-
celvng and warm admiration of the works Of
the artist. In this branch of art, the most soar.
ing and original genius would be chilled into
apathy, for the want of those who could under
stand and encourage his abors Though our
acquaintance with if, is but in the abstract, and
our chances of studying productions of merit,
but few,-yet we have deep love and rever-
ence for it and shall not think ourselves en-.
ployed without profit, in putting in our mite to
remove some Of the false preiudices, that, among
our countrymen, are held against it.
One great cause of this lukewarmness, NAV
be found in the prevalent idea, that where the
arts are in their highest glory, the nobler dis
tinctioEs ofnational power and freedom are lost
or declining-that the enthusiasm Of country is
one thing, and the enthusiasm Of art, another
