THE NEW YORK ELEcrIoN.-From the re 'an luotant admissions, apologies and explanatob san ot the black republican journals, we are ds posed to believe that the democratic State tiekaH. m spite of the opposition majority of 5000 dJar last fall, has been elected in New York byiWW. large and decided majority. The Herald, nRa Re giving the probable result, says:
 We have not probably heard from over one third of the State, from which it appears tha Isa ot the republican majority of 65,0OO last fall the democrats have reduced 1t over zoo I. votes. From present indications the following State ticket is undoubtedly elected:
 Secretary of State-Gldeon J. Tucker dem Ja
 Comptroller-Sanford E. Church, dem
 Attorney yGeneral-Lyman Tremain, dem IT
 State Treasurer-I. V. Vanderpool, dem
 Canal Commissoner-John NJ. Javcox, den.
 State Engineer and Surveyor--V R. Rich. B mond, dem.
 State Prison lnspector-W. c. Rhodes, dem. H
 Judge Court of Appeals-Hiram Denio dem T
 But few of the names of the members of the Legislature elect are as vet at hand although there is no reason from the indications thus far q to believe but that the majority of both Houses J will be democratic.
 The indications thus far also show that Judge Denio ran with, if not ahead of, his ticket although nothing yet be told with any de gree of poSitiveness.

Bank Paper Money-Its Unconstitution
 a1ifu


 The United States constitution provides that no State shall "coin money" Can then State which is prohibited from coinng gold and silver money establish corporations with authority to make promises equivalent to money?
 The U. s. constitution provides that no State shall emit bills of credit. Can then any State establish a corporation with power to issue bills of credit? Can State borrow such bills?- And if the notes of banks are not bills of credit pray what are they?
 Judge Story says, that "The bills of credit of Connecticut, passed before the revolution, were of the same general character and opera tion." The act of 24th George II, uses an- guage, that shows bills of credit" to be phrase constantly used and understood as equivalent to paper money. Judge Story states, that :" to emit bills of credit, conveys to the mind the idea of issuing paper, intended to circulate through the community, for its ordinary purpo- ses, as money, which paper is redeemable at a future day."
 Judge Kent in his Commentaries, defines a State bill of credit to be paper issued bv State government, and intended to circulate through the country for its ordinary purposes, as money redcemable at future day.
 Agan-the U. s. constitution provides, that no State shall make any thing but gold or silver coin tender in payment of debts.
 Then can State rightfully establish banks with power to issue paper money-to bansh the specie from the State, or lock it up in the vaults pei every man, when required, to tender gold or silver coin in payment of his debts and yet the State have authority, by means of banks, to ex- pei or lock up all the gold and silver coin?- their money, render impracticable the tender of specie?
 Is not then this clause of the United States constitution (the supreme law of the land) ren- dered null and void by bank paper? Can banks be constitutional or expedient when their inevit- able operation is to repeal clause in the United States constitution?
 
 Should State undertake to coin oold and silver, the whole world would admit that that was unconstitutional Suppose, then, instead of coining. gold and silver, the States should com pewter, and by statute give it the value of money; passing off the pewter for silver and gold; is it conceivable that this proceeding would not be contrary to the United States constitution? In other words, would the coining by State of gold and silver money be unconstitutional and yet the absolute counterfeiting of the coin of the Union be constitutional? Is making good money by state crime, and uttering counter felt money no offence? But, if the coining of pewter be incompatible

rary deficit in the supply of labor This question
can be answered in the negative without much trouble
we imagine. We can import as many Coolies as we
want, and Oooe labor is just as good and cheaper
than negro labor. BY passing laws that will do away
with the alleged horrors Of the Coolie traffic. and by
adopting and enforcing statutes that will secure them
protection and good treatment when here, we will
meet all the requirements of the civilized world and
obviate all objections that are arrayed against the
trade as it is said to be carried now Them again,
it is by no means positive that Investigation Of the
kind of labor employed would not prove advantageous
in the long run.

Ros,n OIL,

We pleased to learn that the merits of this OIL
manufactured under the patents of Mr. Louis S. Rob
bins, attracting large and favorable attention at
the hands of our mechanics engineers, foundrymen,
machinists workers in most sorts of metals and the
public generally. Silently and gradually, but surely,
this valuable invention has been gaining ground since
it was first brought to the notice of the community
through the public press 1t has had difficulties to
contend against and overcome. So have had all new
discoveries, matter how clearly their utility and
usefulness were shown and some of them, owing to
lack Of tact and ability on the part of the discover
ers have been unable to work their way into general
favor and become profitable until long after those
who should have reaped the greater portion of the re-
wards had passed to their long homes. Not SO with
this, however. So far it has succeeded admirably and
we predict that its products will, within few years,
occupy prominent position among the leading arti-
Giles Of American export
We have large number of certificates before us
from painters, managers of iron works, machnists,
engineers and captains of steamboats, all testyng,
in the most conclusive language to the rare merits of
this oil as paint oil and as lubricator for almost
all kinds of machinery. By all it is pronounced equal
to the best in use, and by many as superior. These
facts, taken in connection with the comparative
cheapneSS WIN when IL can De manufactured, ana
the extravagant prices at which lubricating oils
ruling and have ruled for years past and the impossi
bility Of obtaning supply equal to the demand from
the usual sources all conspre to render the invention
of Mr.. Robbins of inestimabe valve to the country
and particularly to the Sonth, for the Southern pine
forests, now considered well nigh worthless, will fur
nish for all time to come an inexhaustble supply of
the raw material
We understand that books of subscription to the
stock of the Southern Oil Company" will be opened
in few days. We cannot too highly recommend the
enterprise to our people, The stock is offered as
favorable terms as business men could desire who
wish to make surely and highly remunerative
investment. We have examined into the subject
quite carefully and the greater the care we have be-
slowed upon it the clearer the conviction that rested
upon our minds that the stock would become, in two
or three years. the best paying stock in the South
the North, in any other country the surface of
the globe.
We would earnestly advise those having the matter
in charge to make an official showing at as early
day practicable. Then the stock would be eagerly
sought after, and all taken up in few days, or else
we are more mistaken than were in our lives

If this policy be not pursued the chances are that
