THE NEWS.


M. Cessna's unnecessary essays mani
testing itself0n election day as well as
during the canvass. In Philadelphia,
Mr.. McMichael, Union candidate for /
MayOr, falls far behind Henry's former |
vote. and only secures his election by O |
small majority. Considering that Phil |
odelphia is essentially Union city, we |
can only account for this loss by a local |
disaffection toward Mr.. McMichael,
AGAINST whom the Trades Unions and |
other bodies combined. As Philadel- |
mia generally controls the, State, we see |
losses in many OF the
counties. The vote, as it looks now,
will scarcely be within fifty thousand
Of what was east last year. In Ohio the
majority is estimated at twenty thou
sand-the strong Union counties polling
a light vote. In Newark, atthe Charter
election, the Unionists carried. the day
by a largely increased vote. This gives
,,s hope for New-Jersey and the Consti-
tntional Amendment. - Tribune. el|

During last month there was series
of determinations between the officers of
the American squadron in the harbor
of Cherbourg, France, and the officers
of the Russian corvette Askolt. The
Russians have little friendly feeling for
the English, and less for the French,
and on the occasion of the Emperor
Alexander's birthday, on the 18th of Sep
TENDER, when, as part of its celebra-
ton, the officers of the Askolt gave a
banquet on board their vessel, they asked
as guests only the officers of the Ameri-
can squadron, entirely ignoring Eng
| lishmen and Frenchmen. Toasts to
President johnson, the Car and the
| American and Russian navies were
| drunk, and every effort was made by
| Alexander's faithful subjects to show
| their friendship for and desire for closer
alliance with the sons of Brother Jona'
than, The compliment of the Russians
was reciprocated by the officers of the
Colorado, on board their vessel, two days
after, by return banquet, when similar
festive and friendly ceremonies were OBJ
served. Some days subsequently the
| officers of the FrOlic entertained the
/ officers of the Askolt on shore.
