The Lale ELECTION in lhls city.


II was with pain, as well AZ surprise, we read
the report Of Messrs. Fendall, Carlisle, and Law
renee, TO the amalgamsted crowd at Harmony Hail.
We hoped that our opponents would have sub
mittcd 10 the decision Of the people, at the late
election, with some degree Of moderation, and have
satisfied their mortified sensibilities by abusive
epthets and their usual slanderous mirepresents
lions. In this we are disappointed.
Is II possible the committee suppose they can
lead their reasonable associates into such nfict
as that pointed out in their report' It Is certain
that the present Collector and Register have no
wish to contest the election, or, at least have 50
declared. II contest takes place, then, either
personal or legal, IL Yin be the work Of the wire
pullers, who, for their own selfish purposes, or to
crafty their malignant passions, will be using their
names and urging on the crisis
Is there any man who will not scout the idea
that any one Of those rejected Irish claimants, In
whose name, II is said, Mr.. Carlisle has brought
uts against the Judges Of Election, feels any inter-
es In the matter further than the brides they are
to receive for being used as instruments Of polti-
cal vengeance or professional cupidityf
They neither know nor care anything about the
principles, nor the public interests involved nor
the serious consequences that may possibly ensue.
But their professional MANAGERS viii be not the
less pleased by the fees 10 be raised for their ben
eft especially II double set Of suits at law be the
result.
The sober and peacesble citizens Of Washington
win have something TO say in this matter, and no
doubt win regulate matters in differ, mt way from
that pointed out by the Harmony Hall committee.

A CArHoLrc PRIEST IN THE WArcH-HoUsE.--The
Chicago Journal Of the 26th ult, gives the fol-
lowing account Of one Of the Holy Fathers"

his soed robe about him, and 10 dreams 10 the

their names arc at the service OF any person who
ieels an interest In the matter. A portion Of
them, say about is, were persons naturalized on
the 9Th day Of June, 1884. About 8 were per-
sons having no papers. Two attempted TO vote on
papers cmanatng from Virginia, not having the
seal; and one or more were persons not residing In
the city, and the balance having received their pa.
pers since the 3lst day OF December last past.
At 10 o'clock on the day Of election we expected
the decision Of the judges Of the Circuit Court,
and were prepared to conform to IL; but We had
no intimation Of their deliberations until O'Clock
in the afternoon. Believing that an issue was
pending In said court, and having no intlmstion o.
any decision, and bel ewing that the charter re.
qured naturalired persons TO remain citizens IL

From the San Francisco Herald, May 10.
Communication between san Francisco
and New Orleans Ia Eight Days-Tks
Telegraph through Mexico.
We mentioned some time ago that Mr.. J. A.
Doyle, an enterpdsing young gentleman, had left
the journey through Mexico to Vera Cruz, with an
eye to the establishment Of an overland express
from the Gulf 70 the Pacific, In time to connect
with the steamers this coast bound to San Fran
cisco, and those on the Gulf running TO New Or
leans.
Mr.. Doyle returned from his tour Of observation
on the last steamer, and gives highly favorable
report Of the practicabiity of his enterprise Tho
port Of Manzanillo in the state Of Coma, win here
after be the intermediate depot of the Nicaragua
steamers between San Francisco and San Juan
II is Mr.. Doye's idea to run an express across tho
country from Manzanillo to Vera Cruz and back
again. This can be done, without difficulty, in
FIVE days. The road, the whole way, 10 in excel
lent order, not only for couriers, but be reports
that an express wagon can be driven o~B Dit with
out the slightest difficulty.
Should he carry his project into operation, tho
trip from New Orleans to San Francisco can easily
be made In thirteen or, allowing for contingent
cies not now foreseen, In fifteen days at the out
side. This will give US news from the Atlantic
cities in from eight to ten days In advance Of the
mails. But even If only three or four days time
is gained by this arrangement, it viii be of meal
culable service to our community.
The telegraph is now completed from Vera Cruz,
through the city Of Mexico 10 Leon, on the way
TO San Bias. Col. STEWART, who is the proprietor
of the line, has recently returned to Mexico from
the United States, and Ia now at work extending
the line of telegraph from Leon to Manzanillo,
distance of not more than 100 or 1870 miles. It
win be completed in a few months, and then there
will be an instant communication between Vera
4. H.. al
and Manzanillo only FIVE days from San Francisco
reducing the time from city to city to only eight
days, gain Of fourteen or sixteen days on the
time now made between the two places. 1t is diff
fcult to over estimate the value of such dispatch,
not only 70 the press and through 1t to the read
ing community at large, but TO business men on
both sides Of the continent. We recommend Mr..
DoYLE's enterprise to the hearty support of our
citizens. He has resided for some time in Mexico,
is familiar with the country, the language and tho
habits of the people, and possesses the energy
necessary to carry out his plans.

they will eventually realize the whole, and that
the institution will be again put into operation

joice Il the hopes Of the most sanguine should be

"Since the above was in type, we learn that ad.

efforts will be made by the trustees to save all

IL is stated that portion Of the assets consist Of

gus ions may have been, Messrs. Fendall,
