$7l 100000 in the total expenses, whilst in
the consumption of fuel alone there is in the
European system less than SO per cent of the

Toner. for the examination of the poll books of
me recent St. Louis election, the frauds are
noder investigation, and Mr.. Blair has detected
and exposed already, in returns from q email
nortion of the district, 400 fraudulent ballots,
an he and his friends do not doubt that the
investigation will result in proving his election
bg 800 majority over his Democratic competi-
tor. Mr.. Barrett The latter is perfectly indif-
tsrent to the investigation, having perfect faith
tnat the Democratic majority in Congress will
keep him in his seat, however obtained.
Congressional Prospects in Ohio.
The Republicans Of Ohio promise TO redeem
,bs Congressional delegation of that State, at
the election on the l2h of October, and are
doubtless prepared to do it to a satisfactory
extent. The delegation now stands twelve Re
nublicans to nine Democrats, and although the
Dsmocralic members are making unusual ef-
for;s to be reel, C ed, the most of them are
unite sure to have the privilege of staying at
home The Republican nominations are gen
ersIly very good, and in some of the stronger
districts have no opponents. The list is as toll.

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH RAILROADS.

Considerable discussion has arisen of late
years with regard to the comparative cost of
English and American railroads, and accord.
ing to all the information thus far gathered,
the account preponderstes sadly against the
latter. The New York Erening Post has q
very able and analytic editorial upon the sub
jec., ard for equal lengths of mileage, gives
the subjoined relative cost of the railway sys-
