MlsNANAGEMENT OF THE MAlLs.-We are con-
stantly receiving complaints from Connecticut, Of the
lrregularlty OF the reception of the Nso York He
raid by our subscribers. The Ney Milford Repub-
l,cdn, OF the 10th instant, says:-
Can the editor of he Nec York Herald inform us the
reason why his daily is received at this Office until
two and sometimes three days after the Tribune which
never fails coming to its Subscribers. We should like
to know where the fault is Tho Hrad is like good
paying subscriber-we can't get along without it,
So many complaints came to us from one small
town in that State that induced one of our sub
scrbers to examine into the cause, if there was any,
at the office at his place. The annexed is the re-
suit of his inquiry
Posr OFFICE, WEsrronr, Jan. 81, 1916.
la answer to your enquiries in regard to the Herald
would state that there but two daily Heraid
10 tnu Office, viz yours and anofer-they both come
under the same envelope and when fails they both
DO II the papers are regularly mailed in New York,
and mscarry should suppose they would reach their
destination after day or two; butt the papers due
given day do not subsequently arrive am inclined TO
think they are not regularly mailed at New York re-
greet extremely that you frequently disappointed;
but can assure you, sir, the fault is not mine.
Respectfully, yours, &c.
Now we are sure that the papers are regularly sent
from the Herald office, and are regularly received at
the Post Office in this city. Of this fact we are
fully satisfied; and yet the official paper OF Mr.. Post
master Morris is regularly received by Its subscrb-
ers whilst the Herald is about half the time either
detained or lost. We refer this matter to the Hon
Cave johnson, with the hope that he will find rem
edy for our grievances

New York Election.

The political revolution in the Empire State, as
shown by the election of last week, seems to aston
ish all parties In its extent and completeness it is
probably without parallel in the history Of the rise
and fall of political parties i'll our country. The
Wings seem to have swept all before them. The re-
suit of this election is of ncacuable importance to
the whole country, it settles the question, if in
deed the recent elections especially in the other two
large states, Pennsylvania and Ohio, had not al
ready given sufficient indications of the fact that the
next Congress will be decidedly Wing.
This being the first general election in N. York,
as their governor chosen but once in two years,
and their members of Congress, at the same tme)
since Mr.. Folks inauguration the verdict which its
result would pronounce upon his administration,
was awaited by the whole country with the profound
est anxiety. That verdicthas now been pronounced,
and therein James K. Polk and his adherehts may
read their doom.
The returns, which are nearly complete, show the
following result
For Governor, John Young Wing, by majority
of about twelve thousand, over Sas Wright, who
was elected two years ago, by more than ten thou
sand majority.
Of the eight Senators chosen, the Wings have
five to six. large majority of the Assembly is al
so Wing; although fifteen of the Democratic men,
bers from the city of New York, where they are
chosen by general ticket and of course, by plural-
ty.
Theextent and importance of this revolution, how
evers shown particularly in the election of their
members of Congress the whole numberbeng thir-
ty-four,-Eight and half times as many as Vermont
is entitled to.
Their present delegationin Congress consists of 81
Loco Foco, 9 Wing and Native.
Of those just elected, % are Wings 9 Loco, and
doubtful.
The united delegations from the four contiguous
states; of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Ohio, whose elections for the next Congress
have been held within the last few weeks, consist in
the present Congress of 30 Wings, 48 Looos, and G
Natives
In the next Congress they will stand IS Wings, &c
Locos, ? doubtful, Native, making a nett Wing
gain in these four States without counting the Ma
tves or doubtful either way, of FORTY-SEVEN!
The following exhibits the state of parties in the
present, and also in the next Congress- in the states
where elections have already been held:

ing events, to give the cream of new books,
to keep watchful look out forGcniuS in Lit
erature- Music and Art and in short, to fur
nish a paper by which families may keep up
,riM the times. The plan will be added to
and varied whenever ingenuity and resour-
ces can find new and valuable attractions
but our main purpOse'will be constantly kept
in view, viz: to issue a periodical which, by
its scope and comprehensive contents, shall |.
suffice for families that wish to take but one
paper At the small price of two dollars per
annum, so important and improving a hXu-
is within the means Of all
THE HOME JOURNAL will be published ev-
cry Saturday at So per annum invariably in
advance Three copies will be sent to one

pers, for five dollars in advance.

In the common Pleas, the same day, Judge
Wells ruled that where person received a
discharge in bankruptcy, and afterwards
promised to pay a debt involved in TIE same
bankruptcy, it was not necessary that the
promise should be made in writing in order to
render it binding. The discharge under the
bankrupt act did not pay the debt, and this
was a sufficient consideration for new prom
Use ; and parole promise was sufficient in the
absence of any statute law to the contrary

An interesting case has been decided in
Baltimore city, by which woman with
large family Of children and grand children
were freed from slavery. Forty-two years
ago, when she was a child, her mother was
sold for q term of years, the child to remain
with the master until he is remunerated for
the trouble of supporting it. She grew up,
was married, and the suit arose from attempt
to sell one of the children.

STRENGTH vs.. THE GALvANIC BATTERY.
A smart son of Hibernia walked into
place the other evening where gentleman
was praeticing with galvanic battery, and
was invited to see if he could retain the hand
les in his fists.
BE Jabers its me can do that same" re-
piled the son of Erin. He took them, and
the gentlemen gave him a considerable
of shock.
"a little more if you plase-I can hold
'em" The little more was tried, and grain
more" was asked for, and put on.
81 can hould en" said Jenny, "a least
bit more"
The gentleman applied the whole force of
the machine, and Jemmy's arms began to
witch and jump as though he had the shab-
ing palsy, and his fists were firmly set on the
handles, mauger all attempts to let CO.
Take 'em away" bawled Jenny, as he
danced to and fro" take 'em away the lit
tie divil houLds me. Shaint Paterick and be
Jabers to YOU why don't ye take 'em away
he'll twiteh every bone out in my body"
The gentleman put a stop to the operations
Of the machine, and Jenny, shaking himself
to see that he was whole, hurried out of the
room casting furtive glance back at the ma
chine as though he were afraid of another at
tack.

The Mohawk went ashore at Punta fort,and
was exposed to the heaviest part Of the hurri-

down from the fort to the wreck, by which
they assembled to the walls Of the fort.
The Georgian publishes a letter from Ha-
vana, dated on the 18th, from which we take
the following
Out of 1o4 sailing vessels, steamers and YES
sells of war in our port all but II have been
sunk, wrecked; dismasted, or otherwise Sc
verely injured besides which, 40 or so coast
ing vessels were destroyed. In the city and
environs, the injury to the buildings, trees,
&C., has been immense, and many lives have
been lost. The accounts from the country
are as yet incomplete in the information, and
vary great deal. In some districts the dam
age both to the sugar cane and the buildings
on the estates has been immense; in others it
has been somewhat lighter. The total dimi-
mutton Of the crop in consequence of this ca
lamity, will no doubt be very consider
able.

Of the passengers. Among whom were sew

Senator Klmball of Putney, passed through
town on Wednesday evening, and was con-

dent was caused by overlooking. The coach
was top heavy. There ought to be law against

MORE ROBBERS IN VERMONT. A most
daring outrage took place last week on the
road leading from Waterbury to Stowe, the
circumstances of which, as near as we can
gather them from report, are as follows: 1t
appears that B. H. Fuller Esq. of Stowe, had
left home with some hundreds of dollars in
his pocket, and was waited upon by the road
side by two fellows by the names of Meuland
and Gay (said to be from Hydepark,) who,
pretending to be much fatigued from chase
at fox hunting, solicited chance 10 ride with
Fuller, which was granted.
They had not proceeded far before through
intrigue or false pretence Fuller was induced
to partake of the ingredients of flask which
they had with them. Soon after Mr.. Fuller
became stupid and insensible, when his peck
cts were searched, $500, taken from them,
his horse turned towards home, and the ruff
fans made away with their booty.
Fuller was found that evening near where
the outrage took place, and upon receiving
proper care he revived SO as to describe the
appearance of the chaps officers were imme-
diately despatched, and the rogues overtaken.
They are now lodged in Montpelier Jail, to
await their trial.-Green Mountain Freeman
