LAUNCH OF THE STEAMSHIP FRAsxLrv-we take
pleasure in calling the attention of the public to the
latest and most noble effort Of well known naval
architects, Messrs. Westervelt Mackay. The most
splendid production of their skill we have yet seen Is
the magnificent steamship Ere nklin, to be launched
Tomorrow at IL O'Clock and it can safely be averred
that, in her model all previous attempts whether ma

fHE ELECTION RETURNS or 13iS-TuE Poll
TICS OF THE UNIoS.-The returns OF the recent
e ctions, and the political prospects in the several
States, are matters of general interest, and will
continue 10 attract attention till after the coming
Presidential contest. 1t is our intention to give
the returns of the elections, and movements OF the
politicians, as rapidly as they are made known by
telegraph or otherwise. They will enable the pub
lie TO form some opinion of the probable result Of
the election in November.
AID TO THE ALBANY SUFFERERs.-It Is, indeed,
strange that our citizens are so slow in their con-
trbutions for the relief of those whose all was
swept away by the late fire In Albany.
We always looked upon the inhabitants Of New
York as generous and phllanthropic, from the fact
that heretofore they have been first to move in such
lardable undertakings, and have always stood
foremost upon the list of contributors. But with
regard to Albany, there seems but small share Of
sympathetic feeling, and general apathy seems
TO pervade the community. In 1916, only three
years ago, this city contributed some thirty-eghl
thousand dollars to the sufferers by fire IN Pitts.
burg; and now, when one of the cities Of our own
State is partially laid in ruins, and thousands are
made destitute who look to us for aid, the
sum Of five thousand dollars is raised tor their re-
lief. We are even behind Brooklyn; for with her
meagre, population II comparison with our own,
she has contributed three thousand dollars.
We must be up and doing; the walls of dis
tress ring upon our cars, and let II not be said
for once, that we are slow in the performance Of
our duties to the distressed. Let us shake off the
apathy which hangs upon us, and send food to the
hungry, and clothing to the naked.
TIE UNITED STATES SENATE.-From the results
of the State elections which have already taken
place, and from the known political character Of
the States in which elections for members of the
Legislature are yet to be held, in Is probable that
the U. S. Senate will stand thus, after the 4th Of
March neyt.-

The following, from the Burl,u rfou Ha,rh:
Eye, Gan Iowa wing paper,) of 18th August,
seems to settle the question that the democrats
have carried majority of the Legislature elect,
and, OF course, will be enabled to choose the two
U. S. Senators. Also, that Miller (whlg) and

balance OF power In the popular vote; and If they

FREE Son. MOVEMENT IN PENNsyLvANIA.-We
stated that the free soil movement, in Pennsyva-
MIA, would be likely to injure the democratic
Cass electoral ticket, in the counties of Wayne,
Pike, Susquehanna, Tioga, Bradford, Warren,

all Of which counties give strong democratic
majorities. We now learn, by the following, that
another stronghold of democracy, Columbia coun-
ty, which gave 1,632 majority for Polk, and only
one abolition vote in ls44, is now strongly tine
tured with the Wimot proviso doctrine. Column

new kind Of Life Preserper has been brought

"A person wearing one of these life preservers

ton on the water except with the head and shoul-

The entire person, save the face, is enclosed
