CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS. The Boston
Telegraph closes review of the recent con-
gressional elections in other states with the
following suggestive and appropriate remarks;
50 1t is quite curious fact that the only
states in which the administration and the
slave power expect any aid and comfort are
the wing states, like New York and Massa-
chueetts. While the states Of Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Maine are
effectually crushing out the doughfaces by a
fusion of wings, democrats and free soilers
into the republican movement, New York
and Massachusetts are split up into frag-
ments, and it is by no means improbable that
half dozen or more Nebraska men, may
slip into congress through the divisions Of
their enemies. The presumption is violent
one, as to our own state, but not at all so as
to New York. AS plurality is to elect the
first time, it becomes of the utmost conse-
quence that the electors should make no mis-
take as to their men. In this view it becomes
quite necessary that the names Of candidates
should be published and their claims can
vassed. The time has gone by, if it ever ex-
listed, when it must be taken for granted that
because the aonsiaatorS are good men, the
nominees will be of the same stamp. That is
a non segaitw. Let us have full debate as to
the qualifications of candidates, and there is
no fear that Massachusetts will elect unworthy
men,"

VoTE ON THE LIQUOR Law IN PENNsYLvA-

in the Keystone State, is very full, and re-
markably close. Returns from all the coun-
ties but ten, stand for the law 1872, 42O, against
it l34,3O4 Majority against the law 1884,
In portion of these counties, the mGjorities
only are given-and the total vote thus far
probably exceeds 100000. The remaining
ten counties, it is thought, will give majority
in favor of the law, but the result is still quite
uncertain. The chances are, however, that
the law is carried by majority perhaps not
exceeding 1000, in a total vote in the State
not much short of $50, 900.

CHARLEsTowN NOT ANNEXED. - Judge
Shaw, in the Supreme Court at East Cam
bridge, Saturday morning, gave the decision
of that tribunal, that the legislative Act, by
which Charlestown could be annexed to Bos-
ton, if the voters of both cities gave afirma-
tive votes in favor of the measure, was uncon-
Stitattjoaal.
Without going into the smaller details of
the subject, the decision was based upon the
unconstitutionality of the LIST section Of the
Annexation Act, by which the mode of elect
ing Senators and Representatives was spec
tally changed to suit the temporary necessi-
ties of the case, and without proper conform
ity to the fixed basis of representation, which
is regularly determined by law for each ten
years.
The effect of this decision is, therefore, to
prevent annexation under any circum-
stances, until the next apportionment is
fixed, which will be in 1860, the next valua-
ton year.

A CHARCOAL SKETCH.-Several weeks since
the newspapers of New England were called
upon to chronicle number of remarkable
cases wherein charcoal men had refunded to
the rightful owners money which they had
wrongfully obtained in the pursuit of their vo-
cation. These evidences OF contrition were
regarded with JOY and gratitude by the people
al large, inasmuch as they were believed to
betoken the commencement of reform which
might eventually extend not only throughout
the corps of charcoal men, but even among
the ranks Of the milkmen and lawyers of our
land. But alas for the fallacy Of human
hopes A correspondent of the State Of
Maine newspaper relates an incident of fraud
in charcoal, which, like the simeon of the
desert, will wither these cherished auticipa-
tons. AS he was passing charcoal cart,
which was stationed opposite a store i'll Port
land, he saw the dealer carefully aid quietly
place a two quart jug in basket, and having
covered the same with Charcoal, convey it to
the store aforesaid. After brief interval he
reappeared, and depositing the jug in his cart
as quietly as he had first removed it, resumed
his line of march, singing as joyously as if he
had never done wrong thing in his life,

SUPPOSED DISCOVERY OF THE FATE OF SIR
john FRANKLIN.-M Montreal, Oct. 2l.-The
following details relative to the supposed fate
of Sir John Franklin's party, are taken from
the Montreal Herald:
sin our extra of yesterday evening, we in
formed the public that a rumor was current in
town, that the remains of Sir John Franklin,
his crews and his ships, had been discovered.
We Immediately despatched special messen-
ger to the Hudson Bay Company's house, at
Lachine, and through the kindness of the
Governor, Sir George Simpson, we are ena-
bled to lay before our readers the following
outlines of despatch received by HIM yester-
day from DIR. Rae:
Dr. Rae has been absent on the coast since
the month of June, 1858, and returned to
York Factory, Hudson's Bay, on the 2Sth of
August last, whence he forwarded letters
by express to Sir George Simpson, by the way
of Red River settlement.
After briefly noticing the result Of his own
expedition, and the difficulties with which
they had to contend, he proceeds to state that
from the Esquimaux he had obtained certain
information of the fate of Sir John Franklin's
exploring party, who had been starved to
death, after the loss of their ships, which were
crushed and sunk by the ice, while making
their way south to the great Fish River of
Back. Near the outlet of that river the party
of whites died. leaving evidences of their aw-
full suHerings in the mutilated corpses of some,
who had apparently furnished food for their
unfortunate companions. This information,
although not derived from those Esquimaux
who had communicated with the whites, and
who had found their remains, but from an
other band who had obtained the details, ui0a
voce, may yet be relied on. No doubt is left
of fba Of fha fba ha6
in their possession various articles of European
manufacture, which had been in the posses
sion OF the whites. Among these are several
silver spoons, forks, &C., on one of which is
engraved "Sir John Franklin, X. C.. b.
while the others have crests and initials on
them, which identify the owners as having be-
longed to the Inflated expedition. Drawings
of some of these articles have been made by
DR.. Rae, and sent forward. This fearful TRACE
dy must have occurred as long ago as the
spring of 1850.
