FIRST GUN FRoM PENNSYLVANIA.

The Philadelphia Municipal election took
place, on Tuesday 4th instant, and resulted
in complete overthrow of the Lecompton
party. The candidates for Mayor were R1CH-
ARD FAUx, Tie present incumbent, and ALExAN-
DER HENRY the peoples candidate. The lat
was elected by majority Of 1902, and the
whole Peoples ticket was successful, by large
majoritieS.
This result is u fair indication of the State
Of popular feeling in Pennsylvania Mayor
NAUx's administration of the city government
had been remarkably successful-the Conven-
tion which nominated him had carefully re-
Trained from touching the Kansas issue, while
he was suspected Of being at heart opposed toLe-
compton-yct the fact that the administration
was looking to his election as an endorsement of
its policy, proved too much even for Phade-
pha and brought about the overthrow Of
the BUCHANAN dem ocracy Of that city.

the provisions of the " Act for the sale of the
State Canals" recently passed, the canals of
the Commonwealth will be surrendered into the
possession Of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad
Company on Tuesday, the 18th day of May, in
slant. And Judging from what we hear of the
negotiations pending between that company

conveyance of some Of the divisions from the
company to new owners, will soon take place.
Under the stimulus of the bill of sale, the
Sunbary & Erie management and their friends
exhibit n recuperaton that emulates robust
health and sangune hope. Unquestionab}y
the work upon the road will soon be resumed,
and driven on westward from Wllam1port and
