ChIcn-o City Erection.

The election in Chicago for Mayor and
City Council resulted, as was anticipated, in
another republican triumph. Haines, the
republican candidate, was elected by about
l,i5O majority. It appears to have been the
most excited election ever held in the city,
although II passed of without any rio;ing or
:looIshtd. The Tines thus remarks upon
the election and tie result.
Yesterday the most excited election we
have seen took place in this city. The tire
mendous vote cast exhibits the deep inter est
felt IN the result. Tie increase Is several
thousands in the aggregate. Mr.. John c.
liaiuc<, the republican candidate, J. elected
mayor by majority Of about eleven ham
drcd and fifty, in poll Of about sixteen
thousand votes. The vote for the Demo-
cratic ticket exceeds that ever given at any
previous election, for any candidate Of any
party. An inspection o: the table vii! dis
close some remarkable particulars. In the
four wards comprising the South Division Of
the riiy, FrcmOn, IN 1886. had a majority of
LOSS, and one year ago Wentworth had in
the same wards majority Of 9S4 llaincs
now has = majority in the same wards, OF
about 3Gj. Ia the Fifth and Tenth wards
OF the " est Division, there was a handsome
Democratic gain. In the 9Th, 9Th, Sth and
9th warjs-thc last three wards all hereto
/ fore strongly DcinOcraiic-there is a Repub.
/ iican gain. The total vote exhibits a Re
/ publican loss on Fremout'S majority Of
abou; 500 votes. and a gain of some 90 or
t Wentworih's majority.
iaines has been elected By the vote o
Democratic wards, and how this was accom-
pIished our readers can judge for them
selves. Who it was that betrayed the par
t., and elected the Black Republican ticket

/ ARMY BILL.--The Defeat Of the Army
bill in the U. s. Senate, on Thursday OF
last week, annoys and embarrases the adj
ministration. The Union says:
1.-THE Commanding General of the Army
asks for additional troops; the Secretary of
War concurs in the demand, and the Pres
ident urges it upon Congress as a matter of
necessity. The Senate say no, and the Sem
ate have a right to speak. The Executive
has doEe its whole duty. The responsible
" rests with the Senate for refusing troops
to defend the frontiers against the hordcs of
sayagcs known to be under Mormon inhu-
ence, and 20 be exhibiting symptoms of gem
cral ard decided hostility TO our people
The Senate takes also the responsibility of
leopardiZing the campaign against the re-
bellioue Mermons. This, too, the Senate
have right to do, and the people have
right to know that it assumes the RESPONSE
bility of the act"
The vote in favor of the bill, Analysed, con-
sisted of IL democrats and republicans
against the bill, 10 democrats and 16 rcpub-
Leans. The vote was, thus, in no sense,
party vote. There is, doubtless, majority
in the senate, as also in the house, in favor
of raising four or five additional regiments,
but the bone Of contention is, whether they
shall be regulars or volunteers-whether the
increase in the army shall be permanent or
temporary. That the present eyegencies of
the cauntry call for more troops, will scarcely
be denied, and congress is blameabe for its
dilatoriness in authorizing the increase, whc-
Their they shall be regulars or volunteers.

A RECKLESS MANA man named Bill
Farr was killed on last Christmas day, al
Tehama California Bill was notable
character in his way. The Red Bluff Bea-
con says Of him:
Our readers will remember an advertise
ment that appeared in our paper last spring
stating that Bill Farr would fight grizzly
bear, single banded, on the 4th of July a,
Tehama. His life seemed to be Of no con
sequence to him. We have frequently
heard him remark that he would as soon
be killed as not; and on one occasion we
act ally knew of his standing up very cool
" with person as reckless as himself, each
taking shot at the others hat, distance
of fifty steps, as it remained on his head.
The result was that Bits hat was shot thro',
and small bunch of hair cut away, while
the skin on the other mans Uranium was
laid bare for three or four inches by Bits
half ounce ball. Bill was a great terror to
the Indians, haring killed great many in
his time; some of whom, as he said himself,
he shot to see them fall.
