AL.ARAMA. ELECTION.

There five countries yet to be heard from. Fit1- patrick's vote this far, is 29, 29,5l2-McClung' 21,- 21 ,9SO-7,5 ,5s2 majority for the former The returns 10 in will increase ii probably to s,OO0.
 The General Ticket system is believed to be de- feated but the manner in which the vote on il was taken and the apathy among both parties in certain sections of this State regarding il, show that it's iai- lure at this time is no evidence of its unpopularity with the majority of the people. The table below will prove this-for in TO county was the full vote taken on it.
 The great objection to the act submitting the sub ject in this way, was the shorness of the time allow lowed for presenting fairly to the people, The de- cision followed almost immediately on it's enactment, and in many parts of the State numbers had mol heard of the measure by name, and others were as ignorant of its import though it had been pub
 shed in Hebrew.
 Such nasty legislation as this may become the whigs, but it is contrar, the usages of the demo- cratic party, and shows great imprudence and want of sagacity in the members for permitting il. Had another year been allowed we have not doubt, thai the measure would have been approved by the con currence of the entire democratic party.

DISTRIBUTION PoLIcY.-The highest net year. ly proceeds from the sale of public lands has been $3 100000. This sum, the distribution blll of the present session of Congress, proposes to divide a. mong the states according ther federal represen taton. There are PAP representatives; so that each member would entitle the state to about $l2, 1892 la the August number of the Democratic Review, in an able commercial and financial article we find a table exhibiting the interest due annually on the pulp tic debt of each state, and the the respective states would be entitled to receive under the Dstri button bill, designed as "relief" bill.
 The interest of Alabama is $60O ,30O-her five representatives entite her to SCI ,9l5 of the public plumber. The annual interest on the New York State debt is l, ,l5S 050-her share of distribution $495, ,680. Pennsylvania interest $1, SOC, O,OOO-her ratio of distribution $S356, ,976, &c.
 Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Con- nectlcut, New Jersey, Delaware and North Carolina, are out of debt The total interest of all the states is $9, ,794,S7s.
 Florida has a debt of $3 800 900, but being ter ritory she is not included in the division motion was made in the Senate amend the bill, so as te include the territories, was voted down by strict administration party vote, with the exception of MT. Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, who voted in the nega- tive under instructions. The operation of the bill will be to add means to those states that have aseady suiciency, and will be of little service to those that are heavily in debt.

4 Touching and Beautfa hcidenf.-We know not when we have perused touching anl beautiful
 little story than the following from the Hartford Courant:
 IL was but yesterday that friend-a young gentle of fine intellect, of noble heart, and one well known to many ef our readers, suddenly snatch ed by the hand of death from all the endearnens of
 life. Surrounded by every thing that could make existence pleasant and happy-a wife that dolized ha-children that loved him as they only can love, and friends devoted to him--thc summons came, and he lay upon the bed of death. But few short years ago, she to whom he was welded, placed bridal ring upon his finger, upon the inside of which he had few words privately engraven. The husband would never permit the giyer 10 read them telling her that the day would come when her wish should be gratifed and she should know the secret. Seven years gli- ded away, and day two since, when conscious that he leave his wife forever, he called her to his bed sIde and with his dyng accents, told her that the hour had at last come when she should see the words upon the ring she had given him The young mother took ii from his cold finger, and though hert-stricken with grief eagerly read the words, 'I hdUe iored hee earth-I shaH meet thse n hsaUen.

LATEST FROM WAsHINGToN.-We have been favored with the perusal of letter from distin. guished gentleman at Washington, dated Huh inst. We make the following extract:-
 "rhe bank bill, as you will have seen, is before the President. We look with strong hopes for ve- to-many are sangune in their expectations-I am not so much Yet, thlnk we shall have veto and if we should, it will complete the prostraton of federal whiggery already commenced.
 "1he news from INDIANA is cheering. The state- men yesterday that had gained nineteen mem 69s in twenfy one counties heard from.
 eff a veto comes you shall hear from me by the first mail, if it be but a line.''
 On the 9th the Senate bill respecting the Sub Treasury law was taken up, and after some discus- sion was passed by vote of 134 te 87-lnaorty 47
 The bill was amended by the House, so as to re- peal tn act of June 23d, 1886, regulating the depo- site of public money in banks.
 Should the bill pass without this amendment (says the correspondence of the Chas. Courer) the Opposite Bank system will be revived, in case the Fiscal Bank bill fails But, if the Senate agree to the amendment, the effect of the bill will be to carry the government back to the law of l79I, and the Joint Resolution of 1916.
 In the Senate, the Land bill was taken up and de- bated till the usual hour of adjournment. Many amendments were offered and discussed, among them one to admit the territories to share in the distri button, which was rejected. Mr. Allen declared, in his remarks, that this bill could pass the Senate, either now, or hereafter.
 On the 10th, the Bankrupt bill was before the House.

| FROM TENNEssEE.-Week before last, the cleo ton for Governor and state officers, held in Ten nessee. The returns received from fifteen counties render the success of Polk very doubtful The probability that Jones, the opposition candidate, is elected, and that the whigs will have majority in the legislature. The Nashville Union of the 9th ut says:
 "But there is nothing in the general result thus far to discourage the democracy of Tennessee. lt good deal to hope that the effects of the iacous bosom spread by the whigs every precinct in the presidential election, could be entirely eradcated, even by the strong arm of Polk, in so short time. Thus much of the result tells us, however, that the hope may not have been greater than may be the re- ality. In any possible event it will prove that have cut down the immense whig majority of Noyem- Der at the rate of 1000 month at least. It will be that in every county the wbig majority of ls4O is reduced. There is yet much to encourage the de- to stand to their principles "irm as rock" now and foreyer.''
 From the West there are some scattering returns of the elections held there, which seem to be very favorable to the progress of the democratic party.
 In few days we shall have some more defnitive news on the subject.

The Picayune gives most dreadful account of the application of the lynch law in the West. It states that company of armed men in Philips county, (Ark) set out in pursuit of set of counerfeiters and horse thieves, whom they overlook 40 miles be- low Helena, on the Mississippi river. They were taken and secured, and the whole number, twenty seven, were tied hand and foot and drowned in the Mississippi Island 69, in the presence of two men; Harrod and Burges, who, it appears, oficiated or at least took active part in the execution of the sentence.
