Late Election Results.

Full official returns of the votes cast at the
Ohio election have been received. The result
for Governor is as follows Medill, dem, 147,-
663; Barrere, wing, $500; Lewis, free soil,
50,342. Medill's majority is, therefore, 6l,S43.
In Indiana the total vote at the election of
Reporter for the Supreme Court was 35,25l.-
The democratic majority was 7,46l.
In Pennsylvania the democratic majorites for
State officers, with one or two exceptions, stand
between $4,000 and 10000.
And finally, Vermont has fallen from the en-
brace of whiggery, and will henceforth 60 to
swell the number of democratic States. The
Vermont Legislature, on the 9th ult., chose
John S. Robinson, an old bunker democrat,
Governor, by majority of six votes. On the
next day, J. p. Kidder, dem., was chosen Lieut.
Governor, by a majority of two; and John A.
Page, dem, was chosen State Treasurer
The wing party was permanently located at
the head of Salt River last fall. The wing
I" majorlies'' are all supposed to be concentra-
ted at that point. They certainly are not to be
found any where else.

Detroit Market.

On the End there was a further advance in the
price of wheat corn and oats without change
The quotations were as follows; Flour, 1918
wheat, in the street, 30 10 81 ,25t corn, dull
at &C.,; oats, inactive at SIC.
The remarkable advance in the price of bread
stuffs this season, is attributable to short crops
in the western countries of Europe, and to the
warlike state of affairs in the East. Unless the
Russo Turkish question should be peaceably
adjusted, supplies from the Black Sea will be
cut off and the deficiencies existing in England
and France must be made up to considerable
not improbable that the wheat of our western
farmers will command even higher prices than
at present.

lY- The steamer Pacific came into port Sum-
day evening, and as the boats on the other side
are now 10 good running order, she will keep
her appointed hours SO long as the weather per.
mits Accidents have within short time past
happened TO the E. X. Collins, the Arctic, and
Traveller, which rendered it necessary for each
of these boats to lay by for the purpose OF ma
king repairs. The Pacific has, consequently
been employed to some extent on the west
shore, and this accounts for her irregularities
during the past two or three weeks.
We have learned that the Pacific will be thor
oughly overhauled during the coming winter
and that after being fitted up in complete style
she will run exclusively between this place ana
Chicago.

Japan Expedition.

The arrival of the Japan Expedition in the
bay of Jeddo is announced Contrary to every
expectation Commodore Perry met with favor
able reception from the japanese. An interview
was held with the first Councillor of the En-.
peror, accompanied by the Prince Of Iwami-
The Presidents letter was delivered, and pres
ents interchanged with the Governor of Uraga.
After remaining a few days the squadron left
the bay of Jeddo, having first promised to re-
turn in few months and receive the Emperor's
reply to the propositions from our government.
A correspondent of the London Times pre-.
diets that Com. Perry will meet with hostile
reception on his return. But this is only a sur
MISE There is surely some ground for con-
GLIDING that the ports of Japan will soon be
opened for the reception of our commerce, and
that they will afford wide and profitable field
for the display of American enterprise.
Next week we shall give full account of this
matter.

GleasOn,s Pictorial.

The last number for October more than sus-
tains the previous reputation of this excellent
publication. 1t is beautifully illustrated with
numerous engravings, among which we might
mention as having particularly engaged our at.
tention, that of the Leviathan Clipper Ship,
the Great Republic, Fully Rugged" one of the
" Late Emperor Of China" taken from an orig
inal Chinese drawing on rice paper, by "Ce-
lestial" artist, and especially one representing
the amusing scene of "GulIiver in Lilliput,'
The original of which is a plastic model on ex-
hibition at the Crystal Palace.
This number also contains great variety OF
reading matter which is of high order and
very entertaining. Gleason's is mammoth pa.

DE IIoilander.

This paper has heretofore been printed alto
gether in the language of the Hollanders We
see, however, that very respectable portion Of
the reading matter contained in its last issue is
presented in English, and we presume from the
appearance of things that such will continue to
be the case in all future numbers. We regard
this as decided improvement. If made per-
manent it will add much to the interest of the
Hollander with people in other parts of the coun-
ty rs we'll as with the American residents at the
Colony, who are now rapidly increasing in num-
bers. 1t will also 60 far towards establishing
abroad more correct ideas respecting the impor-
lance of the Colony, its rapid growth, its future
prospects, and its present necessities. We give
in another place several items from the English
department of the Hollander, all of which indi.
cate a state of prosperity among our neighbors
in the south part of the county. In the same
department we find very able and somewhat
lengthy article on MARcY's reply to HULsEMAN
The editor heartily approves the course taken
by our government in relation to the Koszta
affair, in a series of remarks which are character.
lied by thoroughly American tone of senti-
ment.
The Hollander has nearly completed its third
volume For more than year past it has been
owned and edited by Mr.. H. DoEsBURe, and I'm.
der his guidance has proved most reliable and
efficient supporter Of the great political truths
advocated by the national democratic party
Under the present new arrangement we bespeak
for it more extended influence and still
greater degree of usefulness.

pIaiI Routes.


We have heretofore endeavored to direct at
tention to the Importance of securing the estab-
ishment Of a mail route, with the necessary
post offices, on the lake shore, from this village
to Manistee. The season will soon arrive when
the only reliable means of communication af-
forded the inhabitants along the proposed route
will be BY messenger paid at private expense,
and this messenger will make but few trips
during the whole winter The necessity of
moving at once in the matter will now come d.
rectly home to some of our readers, and will,
we trust, cause interested persons to take the
steps necessary to ensure favorable result.
In the counties of Oceana, Mason and Manis-
tee, there are according to an estimate made by
gentleman who has every means of judging,
more than eleven hundred people utterly desti-
tute Of mail facilities, except such as are afford
ed by the Office at this village and those on the
west side of the lake. One route of ninety
miles in length, and six or seven Offices, would
accommodate this whole population, who are
mostly connected with the numbering establish
ments. In no other part of the United States,
probably, can there be found another communi.
ty of equal numbers, living so utterly destitute
Of post Office accommodations, and this destitu.
ton is felt to be in many respects, a serious
drawback to the prosperity of what will at some
future day prove to be an important portion Of
the State.
We are told that we are to have mail from
Chicago next season by the Pacific. This and
a semi-monthly mail to Manistee have long been

The Two ARMIEs.-The New York Courier
and ENQUIRER has the following remarks upon
the ability of the respective European combat
ants:
Turkey maintained a hard contest with Rus
STA twenty-five years ago; she will maintain
harder one now. Then she had revenue of
twenty millions Of dollars--an army of but thr-
ty-twO thousand men, unorganized and without
tried generals-no fleet, for her feet had been
destroyed at Navarino, all her great Christian
population in state of INSTRUMENTATION on ac-
count Of the recent war with Greece,-Egypt
her enemy and Syria and Arabia under the con-
troll of Mahomet Ali. Now she has twice the
revenue-an army six times ms large, thoroly
equipped, well dicipned, ably oficered-a pow
erful teet-almost the entire Christian popula-
ton enthusiastically in her favor-all the Ma
hometan races Of Northern Africa and Western
Asia making common cause with her. Russia
is hardly more powerful now than then. Her
fleet has not materially increased. She then had
a hundred thousand Poles and thirty thousand
Circassans in her army now every Pole in her
army, and sixty thousand men are required TO
keep these Circassans in check. II she had no
wealth then, she has but little now, and but lin
tied credit. A spirit of desertion pervades the
Russian army in the Principalites, so that there
has already been necessity of Withdrawing the
regular cavalry two marches from the Danube,
and replacing them with Cossacks. The chol-
era is making havoc in the southern army and
as far as relates to commissarat and hospital ac-
commodations, Russia is now in much the same
condition as in the last war, when she lost l5O,-
600 men and $4,000 horses by disease and hum
ger alone. Besides all this, the Russian forces,
on the ground, are absolutely inferior in num-
bers to the Turkish and the season is too far adj
| vanced to allow material reinforcement

The GREAT RED RIVER RAFr-The last
Congress appropriated one hundred thousand
dollars for the purpose Of freeing Red River
of the immense raft which has destroyed its use.
fulness for the past fifty years. Proposals for
carving out the intentions Of Congress. are in
course Of publication in the Washington papers.
The Red River raft is an American institution,
Niagara of white oak timber-such as the
whole world might be challenged for compare
son. How long the raft has existed no one knows
probably for centuries. ltkeeps up its contip-
uity as the glaciers. What floats away in sum-
mer is made up again in the freshets Ut Novem-
Der.
The raft is 100 miles long, the whole made
up of logs, trees and float wood in all imaginable
shapes and conditions. There is timber in roots,
timber in branches, timber on its head, timber on
its side and on its knees, timber for plank, for
boards, for spars, for firewood and for sbillelah
fights timber of oak timber Of hemlock, timber
Of cedar, timber Of chestnut, and timber Of locust.
The river is covered with wood, filled in with
wood, sided with and damned up with wood
We have already stated that the raft is one
hundred miles long. 1t is also in places mile
wide, while its depth fluctuates from five to tif-
teen feet.
People who have given the subject an atten-
| tive examination, estimate that there is fuel
enough in the Red River raft to keep the whole
State of New York in frewood for century
For twenty years Congress has been endeavor-
| ing 10 remove this mOnstrOus obstruction, but
with very little success.

We learn that the Directors of the Crystal
Palace have resolved to keep the Exhibition
open through the winter, instead of closing it
in December, as they had previously contem-
plated. They are impeed to this step by the
pecunary success they have steadily met with
since the exhibition was complete, and by the
consideration that an early close must deprive
an immense number Of persons of the pleasure
and benefit of visiting the Palace From the
first of Sept. to the present day, the receipts
have been highly satisfactory, averaging four
thousand dollars or more, day, while the cur
rent expenses are but $500. The receipts of
the fortnight ending on the Odd inst were $685.

iicient numbers TO keep the building comforta-

becomes more severe. This city may there
fore count on retaining the splendid attractions
OF this exhibition at least until the next season.
