yzs- The Prusians are fitting out an expe-
dition to Japan. 1t is to be composed of three
ships of war, and is to sail in October. The
expedition is to partake of a commercial, a
scientific and exploring character. At its
head will be placed diplomatist, Baron Won
Richthofen, with instructions and full powers
to negotiate and conclude treaties of commerce
and friendship with China and Japan. A no.
vel feature connected with the expedition is
the proposal to make use of the opportunity
to obtain possession of some Island or group
of Islands in the Pacific Ocean, either by
treaty or purchase, on which to found a real
German colony, under the protection of the
Prussian flag and Pussian laws.

The spY Our readers will have to excuse
us for the non-concluson of the Spy this week,
you will all remember that this is election
week. We have had an exciting time VT
had to contend with a powerful foe, full oil
money and all the advantages of possession Of
the City officers. Now, that the battle is over
we will devote our whole attention to our
paper. We but seldom desert our post and
fail to fulfil our promise; consequently we
ask you to excuse us, and you will not see
partizan politics in our paper for some time
again. We are not going to change the POI
litical complexion Of our paper, in the least
but we have the idea that our readers should
not be bored with so uninterestng a subject
only when it is actually necessary. The Spy
will be finished next week and the Politician
commenced the week after.

THE VicToRY. THE battle is over and par
tial victory won-we have met the enemy
and is, in a measure, ours. 1t is crafty
ing to the reformers of this city to know that
the spirit is abroad that will regenerate the
Council and place us upon living footng.-
The fact has been established that the taxes
must be reduced, that a reform must be made
in our municipal affairs and that a perfect out
turning of the present incumbents of the
Council must eventually follow. The result
OF the election may be summed up thus For
Mayor, Thomas Young, 1873 majority; for Al
derman, John Wright, IA majority; John T..
Mcneil receieed 30 majority for Assessor. Dir.
Wilson, of the Peoples Party, was elected by
majority of 81 for Treasurer. Thus it will
be seen that our City Ticket, with the excep-
ton of the Treasurer was elected. We regret
no little tho loss of our Treasurer. lie was
one of the most energeric, upright and hon
orable men upon the ticket, and deserved the
support of the entire party. But like many
a good man, lie had TO be sacrificed
at the shrine of public opinion to a
misapprehension of the facts. If the Demo
cratic party had been made acquainted with
his true character he would only have had to
walk over the track. Mr.. Morrow, as man
and a democrat, holds high position among
his friends who regret his defeat.
In the battle just closed we had many diff
culties to contend with. The mo1ied men of
our city belong to the opposition and party
pride induces them to shell out literally, and
on this occasion we had more money to con
tend against than usual. Besides a few OF
their prominent men felt it duty to go about
among the moral portion of their party, and
romance little. Romance is little too mild;
they went abroad industriously circulating
lies. The lottery men were dragged into the
arena and made operate against us without
their free will or consent. One gentleman,
little more industrious than the rest, deceived
two very respectable Quaker gentlemen into
voting against the Reform ticket by telling
them that the lottery men had given us
large sum of money to carry our ticket with. /
This he no doubt knew to be false at the time |
he toldit. But it will serve one good purpose
it will show the men connected with our lot /
teries what kind of men the KNOWN othings
of this State are and how to treat them in the
future. There is one thing certain, il we ever
hear of such conduct again we will give the
authors very conspicuous place in our col
umns so that the world may know them i'll
the future. But, notwithstanding thor mis-
representation, We have gained II member of
Council, Alderman and Assessor. The cleo
finn of AsSassnr will iusurp mr. triumnh in
the future We want the peoplc-the whole .
people-assessed and if this is done we arc
sure of triumph in the future 1t fairly
made us sick to hear the old citizens complain
of not being assessed, consequently unable to
vote. Below we give the result of the cleo
tion -

AFTER THE ELECTION. When the result of
the election was made known, large number
of our friends assembled at our Office, when
the Amphion Cornet band was procured, and
the partyproceeded to serenade the candidates
First, we stopped at Mr.. Hagany's residence and
the band played several patriotic airs, when
Mr.. Hagany appeared at the door, and thanked
them for the serenade. We then proceeded
to the residences of the Mayor, Alderman,
Council, Assessor and our esteemed friend
Mr.. Morrow, our defeated Treasurer The
saengerbonds, also, serenaded the Mayor,
and sang several patriotic songs. Afterwhch
the Mayor made a speech thanking both par
ties OF serenaders for the consideration they
had expressed for him. The serenade over
some four or FIVE hundred of the bone and
sinew repaired to our office, where the past
was completely buried in oblivion; there TO
remain anotheryea At two o'clock in the
morning, the assemblsge separated very well
pleased with the proceedings Of the night.

SNAPPED Orr Doctor Grimshaw may at
tribute his small majority in the Third Ward,
to the fact that the Know Nothings traded him
offfor the Council. We know that some thirty
or forty Democrats in the Third Ward, voted
for the Doctor. which cannot be accounted
for, unless his friends traded him off for the
Council. There must have been something
done to balance these votes. The Council
was of more importance than the Mayor; con-
sequently the trade was good one.

ST. PETERS BENEFICIAL SoctRTY.-The com
mittee, of the young men, who got up the Pic
Mic for that Association, a few weeks ago
havingmore money than enough to bear the
expenses of the occasion, to spend the balanc,
over, gave a splendid repast at Major Wood
wards, on Wednesday evening last. We
were among the invited guests and take plea
sure i'll recording the event-from our personal
knowledge-as one of the pleasantest parties
we have ever attended. The company was
composed of genial spirits, who contributed
their stock of songs, mirth and wit, to enliven
and amuse the company. Toasts were drank
and replied to in spirit that gave the best
evidence of the friendly feeling that existed.
The mortal Penny and o'Nel were there,
who arc host within themselves. The com
mttee left nothing undone to make the occa-
sion one of the happest imaginable. Through
out the whole evening, every one present.
contributed his share towards the amusement.
o'Niel sang Paddy's Wedding; Penny, the
Trombone song, and Miller, a fine old "Yar-
man Gentleman, " in manner that would have
done credit to the stage they were highly ap-
plauded by the party. Mr.. Ward and several
other gentlemen recited amusing rhymes and
added much TO the hilarity of the night The
party separated at one o'clock, very much
pleased with the nights entertainment.

THE DOUGLAS HARPER LETTER AND THE
RICHMOND ENQUIRER.

RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 1.-THE Enquirer, to-
day, has leading editorial of three columns
in length, which is supposed to have been
written by Gov. Wise, against the letter Of
Senator Douglas, which was published in Har-
pcr's Magazine. Tho writer denies all of Mr..
DIS propositions, and says that they are in
direct opposition to the Compromise measures
of 1850, the Kansas and Nebraska Act, and
Tho Cincinnati Platform, and if carried out,
would only lead to repetition of the blood
shed which has already disgraced the soil of
our Territories.
COLUMBUS, Ohio Sept. 7.-Senator Douglas
made speech here, this afternoon. A large
concourse of people was present and he was
received with much enthusiasm. He will
speak in Cincinnati tomorrow night, where
he will fully express his views on the coming

Local, Matters.

A MkGNIFIcBNT HUMBUG.-The race on Thurs
day last, between Flora Temple and Princess,
on the course near Darby, was one of the most
magnificent humbugs of the times. Princess
is just about a two forty nag, and stood nc
more chance of beating Flora Temple than a
land terapin would have of beating a locomo-
tive. The time made on the first heat by
Flora, was two forty-one, and then she beat
Princess so far that no one thought of measur-
ing the distance. On the second heat t!f
time made was two thirty one. Princes !
well enough to get beat. On the third heat
petitor; leaving her so far behind, that She
was lost sight of among the crowd. If Princes
is anything like what her friends represent
her to be- this was most glorious swindle.
Horse racing is bad enough when done as
honestly as possible, but when such sham
as this is got up, to make money, every honest
man should frown upon such proceedings.
There were at least ten thousand persons
present, who paid n dollar each for entering
the grounds. The speculation was very
nice one, but not much to the credit of the
proprietors. Once for all we would advise
our readers not to bet upon horse racing.
There is less honesty in it than any business
we arc acquainted with. A horse race is not
even decent place of amusement, for where
there is one honest man in the crowd, there
are dozen rogues trying to get hold of your
pocket book.

| Resolred, That the matrimonial alliance OF
Col. Douglas has awakened in the bosoms OF
the Progressive Bachelors of Kent county,
feelings both of pain and of peasure-teelings
of pain, because they have thereby lost from
among them brother well and highly esteem
ed for his many very excellent social qualities,
and their Association has been deprived Of a
valuable and efficient member-feeings Of
pleasure, because, in thus severing the bands
which bound him to the fraternity of Bache-
of our Association, choosing ''thc better part"
that bright and goodly sphere of life to
which we all aspire.
Resoiced, That the example of Col. D., in
progressing" from blessed to a BLIssFrL
state (viewed by this Association as the legiti-
mate fruit of its labors,) is considered as
worthy of all emulaton and that we con-
graduate our friend and late brother in his
demonstration of the fact that n Progressive
Bachelor having heart to love, though his
may become possessed of a gentle and conf
ding Ebetter half" who will render smooth
the rough walks of his life and uproot and
destroy the poisonous weeds that grow to in
feet the atmosphere he breathes.
Resolred, That in accordance with resolu-
ton adopted at the late State Convention, a
- be presented to Col. Douglass, by this
Association, in testimony Of the high regard
in which he is held by its members, and as a
lasting memorial of their best wishes for his
continued prosperity and happiness.
On motion of j. P. Hoffecker, the said reso-
buttons were unanimously adopted-the blank
in the last resolution being first appropriately
filed
GeosH. Raymond, Jno. w. savin, and A.
H. stockly, were then appointed committee
to procure the present, with instructions to
report at the next meeting.
After the transaction of other business Of
