From the Albany Erening Journal.

The REsULT.-We have reports from the different
Wards which render it probable that the city has
given small Loco Foco majority This renders the
result in the County doubtful, with the chances
against us.
We were not quite prepared for such an over
throw. Those who have by their inglorous apathy
contributed to this result, will most deeply regret it
In refusing to vote the Wing ticket or in sotIng as
some have, for Loco Focos, they hare ro'ed against
themselves.
Qua EAeLE.-The glorious Eagle, whose spreading
wings have proclaimed trumPhs for FIVE years, is
now "Tyerzed We have no resent use for the
noble Bird. Having promised to lend Tim to our OPP
ponents when they should carry the city, he is no" at
their service But shall want HIM again as
as friends take few "brokrn doses OF Loco Foco-
ism. The next election will find the city, Eagle side
up. W
Bring me no nors reports 1t is sufficient to
say that the Wings have allowed their enemies o take
possession Of the city 1t will be recaptured in the
sping and fall our majority will be triumphant
as ever.

NEW YORK ELECTION.

The thrilling contest is over; but We have only re-
ceived partial accounts of its results.
We take the following returns and comments from
the Journal OF Commerce. While the Journal, how
ever, makes the Opposition majority but 49, the New
York Herald makes it 246; the Evening Post 309
The New Era 1872; The Tribune 1874 The Express
"a; the Courier and Enquirer $50; and the Standard,
all "cock-a.hoop" 2l3. Truth may lay between
In this city, according to present appearances, ne-
Their party has much to boast Of Only the votes for
Senators were canvassed last evening. The annexed
is correct statement of the result able to
furnish 1t shows an.apparent majority of So for the
Opposition. The official returns may make it larger
or possibly may throw the balance the other side
We here speak of the vote in this city But it is to
be remembered that the First Senate District includes
also Kings county and Richmond. In those counties
the Senatorial vote not counted last night. The
Wings of Kings claimed small maj ority for Senators
in that county, while in Richmond there is doubtless
a small majority for the Opposition candidates. Ac-
cordng to our present the greater chance
is that one, if not both the Opposition candidates
elected.

THE CATHOLIC QUESTION.

We copy the following from the Journal Of
Commerce, on the subject of the Catholic diff
terences in relation to the School Fund. Ii may
be supposed to imbody, pretty fairly not only the
opinion and evidence ofthe case on the spot, but
will probably give the proper tone to public SEN
llment generally, on this subject, not only in
New York, but throughout the Union.
There is every disposition the part of citizens
to concede to the Catholics the full measure of their
rights and In point of fact there is other class Of
voters who, in proportion to their number have been
allowed greater influence in election matters. But
when they come forward in their seciarian character
att tail of their Bishop and demand exclusive priv
ieges or privileges which, if conceded to other secs
would at once break up the most impartial thorough
and efficient common school system which the world
affords it is time to pause and what are COM
ing to.
The public mind is at length aroused and thou
sands are ready to yield at once if necessary, their
party preferences, to "head off" movement SIMS
ter and audacious.
1t is understood that all the Wing candidates. both
for the Senate and Assembly are favorable to the ex-
listing School system"

WELL, Allen, we Wings (incuding you or
not, just as you please are threshed-out PEG.
pe Our State election closed last night, and
already we have returns enough to show that
the Assembly is gone, by at least tOo to one
Uast year 66 Wing to 81 Loco) The Senate
is still in doubt, but fear it will be all of
piece.
Here we might have carried all we chose, but
some of our friends would not take the trouble
to vote; and so the gallant exertions of $4,000
genuine Whigs-who do their own voting
were destroyed by the apathy of 5000 who vote
when their dinner sits just right on the stomach
or when they fear that they may not have a good
one tomorrow without change of policy.
In this city, aided by local question, we have
done comparatively we'll think we have car
ried one Senator and three Representatives BY
handful of votes-say 100 in over 100000. If
we had both Senators, we should save that
branch, and may without, but | fear we shall
not. With the Senate goes every thing-dis-
trcting the State for Congress, Registry law,
&C., &c. The State officers are gone, any how,
Secretary Of State, Attorney General, Surveyor
General, and Treasurer.
The Evening Journal says its big eagle GILL;
ing page of that paper, and usually displayed
after Wing triumph) is '7'ylerized' this year.
He offers, according to an old promise, to surren-
der him to the Locos.
Will you cry for us on both sides of your facet
one2 or none?
Yours, HAROLD.

Let US bring the VETO, by way of experiment,
to the analysis of the Constitution
article l. Section v. A majority Of each House]
shall constitute quorum for doing business"
The Senate consists of So members, and
majority of this number is therefore 81. The
House consists of 242 members, and majority
is consequently 1873. These majorities consti-
tute quorum.
Any bill, therefore, passed by an affirmative
vote of IA Senators, and SO Representatives,
possesses all the requisites and formalities of
the Constitution ; and nothing remains to give
it the sanction of law, but the approval of the
President. And what now becomes his duty
shall sign ii, buff NOT he SHALL return it aoih
his objections to that House in aohich il shall hare orr
ginated."
Here ends the duty of the Presidents but not
so the duty of the two Houses. And now
what becomes the duty of the House in which
it originated2
Art. l. Sec. VII. THAT House] shall enter the
objections at large their Journal and proceed to
consider it, If after such reconsideration tpothrds
OF that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be
u
by which it shall likewise be reconsdered and if APP
proved by toothirds of that House it shall become
law. But in all such cases the votes of both Houses
shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names
of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be
entered on the Journal of each House respectively
Thus it appears by the Constitution, that a
bill may become the supreme law of the land
after having passed each House by barely ma,
jority of the "quorum for doing business" pro.
vided it is "approved" by the President: and il
will ALSO become law by having been passed by
a majority Of two-thirds of this quorum" in
spite of all the Presidents objections
Thus law may be passed by barely one.
fourth of the members of each House in the
one case, and barely one-third in the other.
Thus: Of the House, majority of 242 is
1873; and a majority of 1873, 62-and "two-
thirds' of 1913 is 80. Of the Senate, quorum
is 81; and a majority is ID; and "two-thirds"
of the "quorum," IS.
So bill, after it is vetoed, may become a
law by the votes of IS Senators, and SO Repre-
sentalives,-one-third of each of the Houses.

RATES OF INTEREST AMONG THE HIN
DOCS

The rates of interest among this ancient peo-
pie, appears by the following scale 10 be regu-
lated by classes, and according to the estimate
Of risks, ranging from Is per cent. to 60 per an
num-from one and a quarter, to five per cent
a month. No honest pursuits in this country
will justify even the minimum of this rate and
wherever the maximum is offered, it will be
found, that the borrower has retained the prn-
cipal as an Offset to the extortion Of the inte-
rest.
No people can prosper without wise and Just
restriction and penalties against usury: and
every well regulated Government has made it a
point TO guard the rights of its citizens and sub
jects against the extortion of the usurer
We think it would be found upon examina-
ton, that good portion of the enormous I" sus-
pended debts" of the late extensive gambling
house, "Nick"-nan,ed "the Bank of the United
States" was loaned out to sHAvERs for the very
purpose Of shaving, with perhaps an inuendo
that, if they could not shave the public suffic-
emily, they might as well, while their hand was
in, share the stockholders! And if the last
returns" from the National Barber's shop may
be relied upon, the poor stockholders have been
shaved out of their very last tarthing.
Thus it may be found that the note-shaver's
razor is taoo-edged, and it may in its turn shave
alike the barber, as well as his customer
And now for the Hindoo shaving-scae:
Rates of Interest among The Hindoos "A lender
of money may take, in addition to his capital one and
quarter per cent month, if he have security. If
he have security, he may take t,Oo per cent

in the direct order of the classes two per cent.

soldier four from merchant, five from a mechanic

much benefit or much injury They were bills of the
utmost Importance as all admit greatly involving the
welfare of the People, and therefore, making the
strongest appeal to the intelligence and patriotism of
the Execu,ive-an imperative appeal to his sense of
duty which as an honest he could not evade, or
bubble with like county court lawyer, or wash his
hands Of like PLATE of old. In skuking from such
responsibility the President instead Of displaying "he
highest order of moral courage which enables the pos
SCISSOR to contemn the impualion of the want of it,"
would have betrayed the very reverse.

prohibited to il by the States are reserved to the
States respectively, or to the People," and it being
obviously proper that the monetary principle should be
homogeneous in conformation, and thereby calculated
to act harmoniousy with the symmetrical machinery OF
the federative system it would therefore, appear that
the administration ola plan OF circulating medium and
public repositories might well be committed to hoard
of control constituted by the States under defined
powers and specified duties to be prescribed by act
of Congress-whst the interior operations and mat
tiers of detail should be directed and conducted by the
institutions of the States themselves subject to the
supervision of the primitive authority existing in the
board Of control. Which (being properly adjusted,
would not conflict with any gordan ENHANCEMENT, bu)
would operate in harmonious and salutary action with
the other essentials of the body petc Of the whole

who prove that 1t would not so operate, or assign
against the proposed system any just sustainabe

Whig'gain from last November,

Bishop Hughes men had separate ticket for Sena-
tors, but voted for ten of the Tammany candidates for
Assembly. Consequently, unless this increase of
force counterbalanced by an equal or greater
withdrawal of streng,h-resulting from the same
cause-most of the Tammany candidates for Assem-
bly, are probably elected. Some on both sides may
have succeeded. But it is impossible to speak with
any confidence as the Assembly votes are not yet
counted. There doubtless a good many split
tickets.

The COURIER & ENQUIRER, before the New

any degree about it, They were able and will

Well, the result of the election pretty distinct
ly shows how great the responsibility" of the
Courier was, but what deal of " trouble" they
have saved us-yet how little they have taken
upon themselves Truly, we were not prepared
for such result upon the assumption of all the
responsibility"

THE COURIER AND ENaUlRER.-Ths leading
Wing journal has an editorial leader Of about a
third of a column commencing with the fol-
lowing!
"The Madisonidn pretty distinctly announces
JOHN TYLER a candidate for the Presidency at the
next election and thus breaks ground that believe
no other newspaper individual in the United States
has ventured upon, and made motion that we trust
no other newspaper individual will be very likely to
second"
We have ''pretty distinctly" forgotten any
such annunciation as the Courier has charged
us with. But this is neither here nor there
Surprising we had made such annunciaton,
does it show any great sagacity in our adversary
to "second the motion" and set it in
"Moton, motion, motion,
The nation through"
But the Courier undoubtedly discovered at
length that the ghost of apprehension which it
had raised, was very harmless apparition after
all and, therefore, thus dismisses the spectre
in the closing scene of the melo. drama:
"The idea of Mr.. JOHN TYLER's being a candidate
for election TO the Presidency by the People Of the
United States is too udcrous for any serious conslde
ration"
And yet after ALL what is there half so "ludi-
crous" in this matter, as the very "Serious"
manner with which the Courier treats it

NEW YORK ELECTIONS.

We cannot forbear passing remark upon the
result of this election, as well as many others
which have taken place since the extra session.
1t is, that if the Wings had served their party
with half the zeal with which they have assailed
the Administration and assaulted US, they would
not how have had to attribute their defeat to the
"apathy" of their party. "Apathy" They
have shown no great apathy towards the Admi-
nistration or its supporters

Amongst the deaths occasioned at st. Au-
gustine, Florida, by the prevailing fever there,
Of which intelligence has just reached US, we
regret to notice that Of JACOB BRowN, Esq, son
of the late gallant Major General Brown. We
observe that it is enormously stated that this gen
tleman was Paymaster in the army. He was
only temporarily employed to pay militia and
volunteers, and there is no necessity for new
appointment to supply his place.
