The New TARFF.-We have been asked whether
there anything in the results of the recent election
which indicates dissatisfaction the part of the
people, at the adoption Of the new tariff. We reply
as follows:
o. he members of the New York delegation who
voted for the new tariff, only two candidates
for re-eIection viz: Maclay Of this city, and Wood
of Albany. The former is reelected bya hand
some majority, Notwithstanding he was opposed by
volunteer candidate of his party; and the latter
Mr.. Wood, is defeated in district ALBANY which
is inherently wing, and almost always gives wing
majorty and where also he had to contend with the
torrent of anti-rentism We learn from the Albany
Argus that although he put in nomination
scarcely week before the election, he has major
ity in that CITY, of 1885, while for governor there is
wing majority of 1885, for senator, AGO. for sheriff,
ll6: for clerk, $50. This does not look like being
left at home in consequence of his free-trade prncl-
pies
OF the New York members who voted against the
new tariff BILL ght were again candidates; and Of
these three have been superseded by free trade men
viz Seaman in the 81 district, Miller in the 3d. and
Campbell in the 9Th. Four Of the remaining FIVE
are wings, and three Of them reside in strong wing
districts. The eighth Ia democraD has been left at
home, and wing substituted in his place.

lows:
"The usual quarter day for making up accounts
by the banks, passed off without any notice, either
by the banks or the public. This is a strong ndi-
cation of the abundance Of money. The present
course of trade, and the active demand for produce
is calculated to make the money market perfectly
easy. The export demand takes every surplus
bushel Of grain and barrel Of -four that offers. A
brisk foreign market al high prices, will enrich the
country beyond all calculation. Instead of anu drain
for specie, If The shipments continue, large amounts mus

This company is organized on the purely mutual
principle and its business is restricted by the char
ter to the insurance of lives, and granting annutes
and endowments, and now ranks among the strong
est and safest institutions in this country. The
whole of the profits enure to the benefit of the policy
holders. An extensive and prosperous business
promises large dividends the first division of
profits on the LIST February, l848, and persons now
insurng will share in these profits if the survive that
period.
The premiums are paid annually, semi-annualy
or quarterly, if desired, and are as low any
American company, and lower than the English
with participation in the profits. Policy holders
are secured by investments in bonds and mort
cages on real estate in the city of New York and
Brooklyn, worth double the amount loaned there
on, and in stocks of the State and city of New
York
The transactions Of this company are on the

Persons may effect insurance on their own lives

1t is highly complimentary to the character of GU,
State that New Jersey has given two governors to
the newly-acquired territory Of New Mexico. Capt
Stockton, who has taken possession Of California
and Gen Kearny, who has become governor Of
Santa Fe, are both, we believe, native Jerseymen
Capt. John Drake Sloat, now in command Of the
United States squadron in the Pacific, and Capt
Stringham, of the United States war ship Ohio, we
gratfed to state also both citizens Of the ad
joining county Of Orange-tbe former born and
brought up at Goshen in that county. Capt. Au.

TO believe General TAYLOR and other officers high IN

lamation Of General Ampudia, issued the day after
his arrival at Sdto. Il is his version Of the affairs
here. | expected he would have boosted more than
he has at getting of so easily. There ia no talk Of
/ peace In II.
On the 10Th instant an officer arrived post-haste-
seventeen days from Washington eity-with de-
spatches What they are is not publicly known
| General Taylor when asked, said the state oil cir
cumstances here made them Of little consequence,
from which some infer his Acknowledgement to GER
tain limits, has Counteracted some scheme OF the
President and cabinet
The last news had Of Ampuda is, that he, with
the army, have left Salulo and gone further into the
interior From all we can learn here, Santa Anna
does not appear to be firmly settled in power, and
the withdrawal Of this army towards Mexico may
be necessary to effect some political purposes.
| The health Of the troops is generally good here,
and most Of our wounded are doing well. My first
guess as TO our loss was close, and would almost
prove me to have been a Yankee. In my letter OF
the 18th Of September it was put down at 500; the
official returns were not then in-Ihey now; and
are, killed and wounded 400.
All the Texas troops are dsbanded and on their
way home, scattered over the country in large and
small parties. Each man has to provide for him
self and horse, and shall not be surprised to hear
ofsome difficulties between them and the people on
their route.
| General Lamar has been authorized by General
Taylor to raise mounted company Of Texans for
twelve months service, to be stationed at Laredo,
on the Rio Gnnde. He got the requisite number,

C.n.noo. Mexico. October %. 1874

GENTLEMEN: In my last letter | ntmated to you
that everything was very quiet about Monterey,
and the indications were In favor of continuance OF
the calm, until the expiration Of the eight weeks
mentioned in the terms Of capituation, or the re-
turn of Captain Eaton, the aid Of General Taylor,
from Washington city. Up to the time Of my de-
parure on the l6th nothing indicated any change
in the state of things. The discharge Of the Texas
troops, and their departure, caused the town 10 be
more tranquil than ever Not many Of the Mex.
cans had returned TO the place, as they are yet
afraid but that will not probably continue much
longer.
Before my leaving the account Of the departure
Of General Ampuda from Saltillo with the army,
was fully confirmed. He proposed to fortify that
town, and make another stand The efore, he called
on the citizens to assist him. They held meeting,
and the answer to his call was, Monterey was a
town naturally easier Of defence than Saltillo that
il was we'll fortified, and he had been driven out Of
IL therefore, they would not expose their families
and property to certain injury and danger. The
general then left, taking the road towards San Luis
Potosi.
have this moment seen letter from Salinas, da.
ted 18th instant, in which the writer states: 81
heard last night that Santa Anna at San Luis
Potosi, with thirty thousand men, artillery and in
fantry. He had sent his cavalry near Monterey,
in the mountains, to place called Labradores,
where the governor of Monterey is at present. l
also heard that party Of twelve Texans on their
way from Monterey home, had all been murdered
near Lampasos, place about ten leagues north of
Salinas"
The frat part Of this statement is not to be relied
on. There were no such accounts at Monterey on
the 18th inst. There is no such place as Labradores
near Monterey, unless it be small rancho. Gov.
Llano, it is known, not there, because his
whereabouts had been ascertained few days be-
fore. Salinas is much further from San Luis Potosi
than Monterey, and that part Of the story is but the
extension Of report current at the latter place ten
days before the time mentioned. As to the killing
of the Texans near Lampasos, it is not improbable
The troops from that State were disbanded at Mon
terey, and a number set off the road by Salinas,
Lampasos, etc. TO Loredo on the Rio Grande. They
were without provisions for themselves, or food for
their horses, a certain sum being allowed for each
days expenses. Their organization was broken up,
and they went off in parties, many without other
arms than pistols and knives. Ii ia very probable
they levied contributions on the people, and in that
way got into difficulty. At first, all the public arms
were taken away, and it was not until Gen. Hender-
son sent Col. Hays to Gen. Taylor that the arms
were restored, to be delivered up at Bexar, in Tex
as. Many then would not go to get them.
During the truce, shall run down to Maamoros
and Point Isabel, but have faithful chronicers at
Monterey to record any important event; and you
will be regularly informed. o. p. @.
