IL Is really becoming as "tedoas as thnes-told
tale"-the task Of noticing tho accommodating eviden-
ces that the country was never more prosperous
than at this moment, when We are within one week
of having the "runous" tariff in full operation. The
Buffalo Express tells of the unprecedented increase
in the commercial navy OF Lake Erie;
"There are sx steamers now being built,
several Of which are to be vessels Of the first class
Besides these steamers, there now the stocks
at various points on the lake, rs sehooners and
propellers."
These new vessels must be TO carry off the
"ruin" next month to parts unknown. OF the
Hudson river trade, the Albany Atlas says;
"THE RIyEA BussEss.--Some idea may be
formed Of the immense quantities of -four, wheat,
barley, butter, &c, nov going forward to New
York, when We state that fifteen powerful steam
| boats are al this time kept constantly employed in
the towing business. Some Of these steamers take
in tow from four to six of the largest class barges
and about dozen lake and canal boats. In addi-
lion TO these facilities, the passenger boats car
| rying unprecedented quantities of freight. Not
outstanding this, Hour Is accumulating in the BASIN
docks, and slorehouses, awaiting the movements OF
shippers. We have heard the owners Of vessels
| remark, that after they arrive In New York the
same difficulty is sxpsrsncsd in the discharge Of
freights as here They obliged to wait for days
the unloading Of ships, which are to receive their
| cargoes."
The amount Of business this year on the canals
has been unprecedented. Allowing for the average
reduction, (l3 per cent, the tolls show an increase
thus far Of $4,000, which will reach half million
before the close Of the season. In this city we are
full of business. Take few paragraphs, clipped
at random, mostly from federal papers. The Tri-
bune's money column says of freights:
"We are told that scarcely a vessel remains in
port unchartered. Two ships were taken to-day TO
come here from eastern ports"
| "The rate Of freights has advanced to-day. Some
10 or ~ 900 bbls. -four engaged for Liverpool
at A. 3D., but S.. was aherward asked, and As Sd.
| offered % .U.
"Thsre is scarcely ship ready to load unen-
gagged in this port, but some are expected from the
southern ports"
Again: another paper says
"We understand that contracts have been entered
into for building thirty warehouses at Atlantic Dock
/ Brooklynl Immediately. The storage accommoda-
tons there are AT present unequal 10 the demandp
There isprecious little appearance Of "run" about
all this.
The vote on the constitution in all the counties
stands Gal 49, CAB against majority, 1913 S0l
Some u, 263 voters who voted for governor, &c
did not vote at all on the constitution. On negro
suffrage the stands s5 5l5 for, 30, 1884 against-
majority against it, 1873 BIG. The vote in its favor
is larger than was generally expected. II is mol
beaten 3 to quite, as thought the other day i
would be. smaller vote was cast on this question
than even on the new constitution by nearly 5000
The counties which have given maorties for negro
suffrage Cattaraugas, 24s majority; Clinton
,093 majority; Essex, $50 majority; Franklin, BAT
majority; Madison, 335 majority; 0swego, 805 ma
ority; Washington, I LOT majority; Wyoming 544
majority; eight counties. Co.,.
An Albany paper has the following paragraph:
"RIcHEs or THE WEsr.-During the week end
ing on Saturday last, there delivered from the
State canals tide water, 1876, l04 barrels Of four
oil los bushels Of wheat "a ,S57 bushels Of corn,
80, 300 bushels of barley, 7Sl barrels Of beef, 76S
barrels pork. 734 barrels Of ashes 2l6 900 pounds
Of lard, 3056, 600 pounds Of butter, and 254 900
pounds of cheese-of the gross value Of two million
two hundred thousand dollars" '.
| It's not the discomfort Of few overgorged mo-
nopols,s choked off from their immense gains, that
can bring "ruin" on a country which pours through
single one of many outlets such volume Of pro-
duce.
/ The "native American" party proclaimed before
the election that they nominated their candidates for
governor and lieutenant governor not with the hope
of electing them, but us to show their strength in
the State" The election is over, and they hare
/" shown their strength in the State" with a ven-
geance. They have lost all four members Of Congress
whom the fcderalists helped them to elect ir 1874
have elected nothing, not even member Of assem-
bly,; and have not poled altogether many more than
1000 votes in the whole State. This is poor
"show of strength" for party which expects one
of these days to give President to the Union. 1t
will now subside presume, into that general rs,-
gium peccaorumthe receptacle ofall isms and ends,
its next most congenial element--federalsm. q
The Tribune yesterday presents (hough with
more modesy than is usual to it, as fliue confden,
the resul its calculation Of the political complex
ion Of the next Congress. 1t figures up federalma-
orty of ten; but TO do this has to claim yet to be
elected two in New Hampshire, four in Virginia
six in North Carolina, eight in Kentucky, two in
Louisiana, FIVE in Tennessee, four in Indiana, one
in Iowa, and one in Wisconsin. Five members the
other way would spoil this estimate, and there are
certainly FIVE too many claimed here-I think ten.
Time will tell. @'"'
The statements in the papers that Niblo's has
been sold, at least premature. No sale has yet
been made. The premises are, however, for sale;
