PHILADELPHIA ELEoTIoS.-The election held
in the city of Philadelphia on the 9Th instant,
for municipal officers, resulted favorable to the
Democrats, Vaux, their candidate for Mayor,
being elected over Moore, American, by 1000
majority Stephen Taylor, DEM, elected Con-
troiier; W. 4. Porter, Solicitor; Peter Arm
bruster, Receiver of Taxes; and James NJ.
Leddy, City Commissioner. The Democrats
have also majority in both councils. There
is nothing very discouraging in the result OF
this election, that We can see. 1t was mere
local affair, controlled in a great measure by
local causes; and is, therefore, not generally
regarded as victory of the Democracy over
The Opposition forces. The Philadelphia Led
ger, of the 9TH, gives perhaps the true cause
when, in speaking of the result, it says =
1.-The vote yesterday is one OF the most de-
cided expressions of public opinion in favor of
managing the city's affairs with economy, and
with something like return to strict business
principles. The usual party lines were held
very loosely, and the victory won by the Demo-
Gratis is by no means to be regarded as an en-
dorsement of all the political views of that
party
There is one fact connected with the poll
tics Of this State, which. when it is remember
ed, goes to show that the result of mere To-
cal election cannot be regarded as an index to
the whole State. 1t is this, that in many of
the counties complete political revolution
has taken place for instance, Centre, Tioga
and others which were, but few years ago,
strongly Democratic, now go as strongly a.
gainst that party, and in other counties the
change is perhaps the other way.
So all the cry that is raised by some of the
sountry journals about rout OF the Amcr-
cans, &c, is nothing more than a waste of am
munition.
When a reference is made to the result of
the State elections which have been held this
year, we meet with the most ample encourage
Ident Pierce, the Democracy were defeated.
In Connecticut the anti-Administration forces
triumphed. lii Rhode Island, a victory was
also achieved by those opposed to the Pierce
dynasty. A similar result has also been wit
messed in many Of the recent local elections in
different sections Of the country. In Michi-
gan has ii more especially been the case-at
least three-fourths of all the township and bor-
ough officers chosen being anti-Administra-
ton men. Thus it will be seen at glance
that, in the more important contests that have
taken place this year, the LoeofocoS have been
defeated; and it is, therefore, little wonder
that they exult so much over this crumb Of q
victory in Philadelphia.

SHOOTING AFFRAY IN WASHINGTON CIrT.-
Mr.. Herbert, member OF Congress from Cal

it was past the usual hour, was refused unlcss

this he directed the walters to retire, and call
ed them harsh names. The deceased made re-
ply, when Herbert struck him with his fist or a
napkin. The deceased picked up tray or a
plate to throw; Herbert threw chair at him,
and plate was thrown back. Here a brother
of the walters entered, and he and several

The expulsion of aliens and the penalties in
hicted upon citizens for exercising freedom of
Sedition laws, which were overthrown by the
Republican party of 1898, were lenient and
mild when compared with the outrages perpe-
trated upon the people of Kansas, under color
of law, by the usurping invaders sustained by
the Federal Government.

I CAPT. JAMES OAkEs.--lt will be seen by the
following letter, that this gallant and undaunt.
ed ofhcer, with a scouting party of e. S. SOL
dlers under his command, had an encounter
near Fort Mason, Texas, on the 22d February
last, with party of Camanche Indians, which
he completely routed and their head chieftain
was slain. At last accounts Capt Cakes wa s
in close pursuit. Two of his men were Sc
verely injured.
Capt Oakes is 4 brave oficer-an accom-
plished gentleman-and one of the best discip-
lined young men that ever graduated from West
Point. Young in years-with a soul full of
energy and ambition, he has won name and
fame, that older officers in the service might
envy. Raised to q high position in the Army,
unexpected to him, he has fulfilled the mis-
sion of his duties to the entire satisfaction of
the Government.
How proudly can we all point to his noble
achievements--and how much more proudly is
| il to know he is a PennsylYanan-a son of the
| Hon. Samuel Oakes, of Montour county,
What father would not be proud of such a son
How often we think of Captain Cakes Far
away from friends and home-amid the rude
and savage wilds of a far distant eountry-has
his lot been cast. May he live to return to the
bosom Of his own loved fre-side home-the
home of his parental household. Million Dem
