New YORK, November ), 1855


The fuss and fury of the Election for State and
County officers is over resulting in the election
of the Republican State Ticket by about eighteen
thousand majority. Burrows, American, and
dstanccd and thrown completely in the shade
The city, as usual, cast large Democratic vote,
electing four out of six members to Congress and
the entire County ticket. As far as the returns
indicate, the Congressional representation stands
Republicans o.; Democrats G. There was very
little excitement, except in the District which
slckles represents. In this District there were
three candidates, two Democratic and one fusion !;
and the race was so well contested that two claim
to have won the goal. A blanket would have
covered oil three closely did they keep gether.
The election is contested, but Sickles has the best
chance. The most notable thing in the election
was the disintegration Of all parties and the gen.
eral wan o; faith in either. 4 complete recon-
structon of parties must ensue, either the ques-
ton of slavery or on some grent line of policy in
our relations with other Governments. The ten
dency is strongly set towards the former, with
Seward for its exponent in the Presidential Cam
paigu Of 1860.
The appearance in print of Hammonl's great
conservative speech at Barnwell, Mt this conjunc-
ture will do an infinite deal Of good, affordiDg as
it does the strongest comparison between con-
servative Statesman and the dcmagogue and rabid
incendiary. More is the pity that it was not dis
tributed throughout the North, previous to the
election.
The Grand Jury of the city has found bills of
indictment against sixty city officials, for mis-
management and peculation in office. If bomb
shell had fallen amongst these harpers on the city
treasury, it could nj, have created more conster-
nation. For years the public officers have grown
more and more dishonest, until an honest pian

ANOTHER ATLANTIC CABLE.-The most impor

on Saturdny-making the voyage from Galway in
ten days. having left on the 26rh--is that prepar
ations were on nos for laying another Atlantic Ca,

4 GOVERNOR NoS PLussED.-Tbe other nightas
the Ministers were returning from Conference, on
the East Tennessee (Ga.) Rail Road, m amusing
occurrence took place between Gov Brown and
Pnrson Brownlow. Just before the cars arrived
ut Knoxville. Gov. Brown came up, and taking the
Parson by the hand remarked:
How do you do, brother Brownlow? ] am
happy 10 see you"
The courtesy was returned, when the Governor
continued:
II hope you will moderate in all your notions OF
propriety in regard to your felow-citizens-livc n
good Christian-and last, though not least, become
a good Democrat"
The Parson, with the eccentric look peculiar to
himself stretched himself up and remarked:
"Governor, an old gentleman Of your politics,
many hundred years ago, took our Saviour upon
a mountain, and preached just such sermon"
The outburst Of laughter can better be imag-
ined than described Cincinnati Gazette.

SINGULAR ArFAIR.-Our exchanges have for
some weeks past contained notices Of the trial Of
Rev. j. R. Graves, (author Of the Iron Wheel, and
Elitor of the Tennessee Baptist) before the First
Baptist Church of Nashville, on charge Of SIAN
dering brother minister through his paper, and
endeavoring to divide and distract the church.
In the early part Of the Grial, Elder Graves pro-
tested against the proceedings. on the groun'l
that the trial was not conducted on scrptural
principles But the church refused to suspend
the trial by large majority, and thereupon El-
der Graves withdrew. The moderator then infor-
med him that there were but two ways to get out
of the Baptist church-one by death, and the 9th
er by expulsion--a view which Elder Graves had
always contended for. Mr.. Graves and bis party,
however, organized church Of their own, and
declared the majority in disorder" The trial
was proceeded with, and all the charges sustain
ed.
The Baptist State Association met at Nashville
in few days and delegates were sent from both
branches of the division. The State Association,
upon organizing, rejected the majority delegates,
and elected Elder Graves Moderator over the
State Association.
1t would seem, therefore, that division Of the
Baptist church is imminent How far it may ex-
tend, is yet to be seen.

WEEDS PATENT SEWING MACHINE is before US.
We have examined it and tried it on various kinds

that so simple piece of mechanism will sew
The complaint against Sewing Machines general

YELLOW FEVER.

Our Charleston exchanges report eight deaths
in that city from Yellow Fever, for the week, end
ing on Saturday. We find the following paragraph
in the Mercury of Monday morning:
"Those of our more timorous friends and ahsen.
tees, who have been shut out from us during the
dreadful time of the epidemic. and who have heen
waiting for 'proof as strong as Holy Writ" of the
health of our city, before venturing home are now
pouring in upon us by hundreds, and new facrs.
with happy smiles, greet us at every step. The
clouds which so long hung like pail over our city
has blown away the prospect brightens; our hn-
tells are already crowded; houses, that for months
have been tenantless. are again occupied; and
business in all its departments has revived to
more than its usual activity at this season."

SUNDAY LAWS IN CINoINYATI.-Tbe Mayor of
Cincinnati, On the petition Of two or three hun
dred citizens, has stopped the omnibusses from
running on Sunday. This act has produced an
unusual excitement in that city, and the question
Of his right to do so is debated pro and con. 1t
is urged, on behalf of the Mayor, that there is q
law against Sunday travelling, and it is the duty
of good officer to enforce the laws as he finds
them. On the other hand, it is said that the law
has been so long dead letter, that it was not
thought worth while to repeal it. The Mayor,
consequently, was not called upon by any public
considerations to revive it. The question will
probably be debated till the Legislature takes hold
of it, either to repeal or confirm the law.
