DELHI.

From lengthy and interesting article on the city
of Delhi, which we find in the Courier DIES Eots inns
of Monday last we translate for the readers of the
Union the following passages:
According to the census of lSi5-46, the popula-
ton of Delhi was 1877 977 inhabitants of which $50
were Hndus, &C. 100 Mussumans and 327 Christians.
To these figures must be added % 900 inhabitants of the
suburbs which would give an aggregate population of
about I6O00O souls. The of Delhi is quite
active During the year 1851 there entered the city
more than 1870 900 horses, beasts OF burden carrying
merchandise and 60 900 vehicles The trade consists in
the exchange OF horses fruits cashercs precious stones
and jewelr which to be added the costly produc
tons of local industry such shawls tissues of cotton,
indigo, &c.
Delhi has always been considered one of the most
narkabe cities of India Besides the Gazette of Delhi,
published in English there eight journals published
in the native tongue, Hndosncse Schools also
merous The principal establishment of public instruc-
ton is the College of Ghazzeddin-K Khan founded in 1892
and rcoganged ly the British in 1929. The Of
instruction comprises four chief divisions the Sanscrit
Persian Arabic and English. The number of pupils in
1851 was 333 of which zoo were Mussulmans, 105 Hin
docs, and 20 Europeans.
This city is the chief central point of Hndostan and
the great lnaster-stokc in every effort to shake off the
yoke of Britain is to obtain possession of Delhi first
tiumphnot of course decisive, but highly important
from the decided impression 1t will produce the minds
of the natives 1t is known that the insurgents
driven within its walls and that the city is invested by
the British troops

4 BLACK REPUBLICAN, CONFESSION.

The Buffalo Express makes the following confess
sion concerning lis party, its motives, and acts, which
no one familiar with its history at Albany, here or
elsewhere, will attempt to deny
ave hope to the day when the representatives of
the people in republican Legislature, and not cort
and greedy lobby on he outside shall frame our hrs We hope
to remain with the republican party until the offices of
State may be bestowed Justly upon honorcd and capable
members of the party when in power and not be bought
and sold like cattle IN he stornblcs "
The hope expressed by the editor concerning the
time he expects to live, if realized will place him
among the Methuseahs Of the world for we think he
must live more than nine hundred and sixty-nine
years before his friends will far reform rs to bless
his eyes with the sight he wishes to behold.

THE ELECTION IN TENNESSEE.


We copy the following from the Nashville Union
of the 9th instant:
" For CoSGREss There is doubt of the election Of
the six democrats claimed in paper of yesterday
ing and if the democratic counties in the first and
ond districts have done half well as the know-nothng
counties, have carried both those districts Messrs
Zoicoer and Ready the only know-nothngs who
certainly elected to Congress.
The Nashville Banner QSnow-nothing) of the same
date says:
"Therc numerous unauthcntc rumors ahoat more
or less true doubt not, but unsatisfactory The
mors from Upper East Tennessee indicate general fall
ing off of vote and large gains for opponents
When the unpleasant certainty that in minority
in the gubernatoria congressional and Legislative de-
partncnts is forced upon minds, have little in
cnaon for compiling the details and most of read
crs, we apprehend, have little for examining them
This task will prove grateful and inspritng to our
opponents his time, and we leave the field to them.
From the admissions and apprehensions of the
Banner we are led to believe that Messrs. Watkins
and Wallace are elected in the first and second dis
trcts--whch would make the Tennessee congress
siona delegation stand eight democrats to two know
nothings, the same as the Kentucky delegation.

AMERICAN HORSES IN ENGLAND.
The Baltimore Sun of yesterday morning says:

sit will be observed, by the despatch in another col
uInn that Mr. Ten Broecks horses, Prior and Prioress
have failed in the for the Goodwood cup From the
brief paragraph the subject led to infer that
the run was not very decisive Recent letters from Mr.
Ten Brock declared his purpose if he did not win the
Goodwood cup to challenge the winner to a match at
mile heats for $40 600 Portcrs Spirit of the Times
states from the authority that the American horses
are withdrawn from the Ebor Handicap, where they
unfairly weighed but are entered for several other
races among them the New Market Houghton, four
mile race 26th of October for which Prior and Lecomptc
are entered and Proress Is entered for twomile dash
at I.ewes 10th of this month
The success Of the American horses IN England is
rather prollematical The animals may be affected by
climate and other circumstances very unfavorably
though Il possible that they may yet achieve marked
success The case not quite parallel with yachting
The America won her honors in the element which was
the game to her in England and the United States She
wanted only the breeze and the bow to establish her
renown past all cavil,"

WHAT BLACK REPUBLICANISM HAS DONE FOR
THE FINANCES OF NEW YORK

At the last session of the Legislature law was
passed directing the State treasurer to pay on the
warrant Of the comptroller, S2l4s 20, in discharge
of a Judgment obtained by VIM II. Peck against the
agent of the State prison at Mount Pleasant. The
State treasurer refused to pay this amount and the
of the Judgment applied to justice of the SUI
preme court for mandamus. In opposition to the
application, and in justification of his refusal the
treasurer presented his affidavit setting forth .that
The general funi out Of arhi the appropriation aeas pay
able as entirely exhausted, and that there moneys
in he treasury applicable 10 The payment Of this demand"
His honor Judge Davies, after hearing the counsel
on each side, denied the application without costs.
So New York is so reduced by blackrepublican rule
that she cannot pay an ordinary debt of less than
three thousand dollars. How are the mighty fallen
