The Elections OF Is4S.


The Mil,caukee Wisconsin, a democratic paper,
of the 10Th inst, has the following from the ad-
joining State of Iowa
The few returns indicate that the result in the Du
buQue district for Congress is very doubtful The
chances rather favor Davis, whg, Letter. As to
determine upon the final result Both parties claim
the Legislature 1t is evidently close This election
unusual interest," as two u s. Senators are
to be chosen and intense efforts made by both
parties to obtain a majority in the Legislature
We have seen no definite returns from this Con-
gressonal district, although it has been conceded to
the democrats 1t Is composed of Is counties. and
last year voted as follows:-
Lefier idemocrap ..'............ $3.50
Mcknight (whig) ................. 4S73
Democratic majority. ............ see 2s6
Great efforts have been made by the wings to
carry this district, and we should not be surprised
If it should turn out that their candidate. Davis is
elected If so, Iowa will send two wings to the
next Congress
WISCONSIN.
The M,lcaukee Sentinel of the 18th inst has
returns from the second judicial circuit, which, if
correct, elect General Levi Hubbell (barnburner)
judge of that circuit by 40 majority. Gen. II. was
formerly of Ithica in this state and leading whig
in 1910.
ARKANSAS ELECTION
We have received the Little Rock papers of the
10th and 18th inst, containing few returns of
the State election, which took place on Monday.
the It'll
There was no opposition to Thomas S. Drew,
the democratic candidate for Governor. who is. of
course, reelected.
For member of Congress, Robert w. Johnson
was the democratic and Thomas w. Newton the
wing candidate. In Pulaski and Saline counties,
together, the votes stand for Johnson (D) 6ss.
Newton CIV y 529. We have no doubt that John
son is reelected, as these returns show no mate
rial change
In Pulaski county, the wings elected their whole
hcket-a Senator, two Representatives and the
county officers, except Sheriff Saline county
elected democratic Senator, one democratic and
one wing Representative. Jefferson county, one
democratic Representative /; Desha county, one
democratic do. w hite county, one dem. Con-
way county, one dem. and one wing Perry
county, one whig; Pope county, two wings;
Prairie county, one dem: Representative. Total
Representatives elected in nine counties, seven
wings and SIX democrats.
We have no means of comparing these few re-
suits with the last election but, as we have said
before, Arkansas is a reliable democratic State,
and doubtless will be for Cass and Butler.

appropriated to construction account, a dividend on
the capital stock was made in shares We will
stop here to question the policy of this moveme Mt
as there are many arguments for and against but will
proceed to show that the finances the company are
really in such desperate position as many would
have the public believe. 1t is true its debt is large
and unfortunately its liabilities are in bad shape

to the community at large is great Every man. wo-
man, and child in the New England States New York
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and several other States
are interested in the success of this railroad either
in the hands of this some other company par
ticularly on account Of the important bearing it
has upon the price of coal; and We cannot for a
moment doubt the ability Of the management to
relieve the concern from the burden which now
presses it, The whole attention of the direc-
ton should be turned to the bonds; the stock is
secondary consideraton--let that take care OF
itsclf-provide for the payment of the direct debt
of the Company, by increase of tho indirect
debt, upon reasonable terms, and place all the
creditors upon par. Then and not till then, should
dividends be made the stock, and if they should be
gin low as two three per cent the shares would
command better price in the market, and the whole
concern would be upon better basis. The Reading
Railroad Company have almost the monopoly of q
transportation business which will give 1t gross in
ranging from two to two and half millions of dol

of at least one million of dollars This will pay div

Importations via New York.

Ii has been question: says the British C0lonisf
whether British manufactured goods, imported via
New York, and sent forward under bond to Cana
da, would be admitted on the same terms as if i'm
ported by the st. Lawrence under the newt customs
act. The question has been set at rest by the Com
missioner Of Customs, and the Interpretation given
by that officer to the new law is that upon which
the Customs Department will act. The subjoned
opinion has been elected by letter asking for in
formation on the point. addressed by Messrs Shaw,
Turnbull & Co., of this city, to the Customs De-
partment and the Commissioner having forward
ed a copy of his reply to the Toronto Board of
Trade, conceiving that it might possibly be of in
