ASSISTANCE TO VESSELS IN DIsTREss.-The L.
s. revenue schooner fancy, Captain Douglass
Ottenger, has lately returned to this port. from
cruise on the coast between Egg Harbour and
Montauk Point, rendering assistance to distress
ed vessels.
The I has been constantly employed in that
duty from the I'D January to the LIST Of April,
during which time she has spoken and offered
assistance 10 l59 vessels, vz,-32 ships ~ barks,
50 briggs, A schooners and | sloop. The Taney
has been out some sixty days, and has sailed dur.
ing her cruise 1900 miles, the greater part of the
time under rcefcd sails. The vessels spoken by
the T. with the exception of some six or eight.
were from 10 to 100 miles from Sandy Hook
The fancy was out in almost every gale during
the past winter, and has proved herself to be an
excellent sea boat, having sustained no damage
whatever.
II may be proper TO state that the fancy was
undergoing repairs in the early part Of the winter
which accounts for her not being nj see sooncr.

Democratic majority. :. .


II is clear and evident by this table, that the
wings and natives can carry the city next Tues
day, and elect both their Mayor and Common
Council, if they can effect union, and bring
out the strength of both factions If they do not
do so, their chances will, of course be greatly
diminished, or, perhaps, wholly ruined.
The natives are proverbially obstinate in main
tanning an independent organization, and voting
for candidates of their own choice, irrespective
of the wing nomination. To insure union with
them, the wings must agree TO vote for one or
more of their nominees for members of the
Common Council. These we are informed, are
the terms of union which are talked of; and,
although We are not reliably Informed whether
the wings will accede to them or not, we are in
clined to believe they will because the small
sacrifice they would make in this respect would
be compensated by their electng their candidate
as Mayor. Indeed, we think the wing leaders
would make almost any sacrifice rather than TO
not succeed in electing their mayoralty candi-
date, although the Common Council is of more
real importance, in local point of view, to
them. They consider themselves certain of "A
majority in the Common Council, in consequence
Of the splits among their opponents, and the
union would make them more sure of their
Mayor. But if they are too sure, and there be a
rain Storm they will be beaten.
Thus we GO. The politicians are hard at work
each party working for itself. hat the result
will be, we cannot say. But if the union here
sketched but be formed, there may be change
in the political complexion of the government of
this city. But, while Ethis movement is going
on between the wings and natives, what are the
democrats doing!

Mayory-The Chances ofthe Wings.

The charter election, as We have before
informed our readers, will take place on
Tuesday next. The parties are all regu-
larly in the field, and eager for the COM
bat. The democrats rely for success on the
popularity of their candidates, but if the wings
avail themselves of the discussions of their
opponents, and poll strong vote, and manage
their affairs properly, they may elect a majority
Of both boards Of the Common Council. This we
are informed they intend to do; and TO make
their chances better, they about to form
q union with the natives, if possible lfthey sue
coed in both cases, the government of this city,
including the Mayor, will be wing for the year
1917.
But will they succeed in their efforts
The negotiations for the union between the
wings and natives are now, we understand, OH
foot, and we would not be much surprised II they
be perfected within a day or two, or not at all.
What the result of union will be, may be seen
by glance at the vote thrown last year by the
three parties
