The official returns of the elections
are quite slow. in coming In,
but as far Us received they increase
rather than diminish the majority for

had all gone for Grant, though perhaps
Oregon went the other way. Alabama
ut any rate, Is conceded to the Renuh-
licans. and the latest returns indicate
chat Arkansas has gone the same way.
The returns from the interior of south

have made II report tnNorlnr tie pas
sage of the bill for the extension @! the
Bennington K Rutland railroad Ia the
marble quairler at West Rutland, with
certain amendments which they recon-
mend. The report cmhraccsa full sum-
mary of the facts bearing upon the ques-
ton as they appeared from the testimony
adduced. From this summary We learn
that the Rensselaer, 4 Saratula railroad
has the exclusive monopoly If the large
and increasing business resulting from
the marble Interests in NCs, Rutland;
that the rates charged 10y the Ecn-sii
laer l. Saratoga company ate largely in

Company, which produces onc-lali the
entire product of the quarrics, and pays
in freight full onc-half, and in favor Of
several marble dealers who appeared
before the committee rs rem0nstrants
against the application that the Rcns-
salaer X Saratoga company WAS accus-
toned to discriminate against the Rut-
land d Burlington railroad To prevent
the transportation of marble over the
Ogdensburgh linesto the West that the
Rensselaer, & Saratoga company had,
by leasing the Troy K Bennington rail-
road, and breaking connection with the
Bennington & Rutland road, intention
ally embarrassed and injured the own
ers Of the Il. & II. road, and the entire
community along the line of that road (;
that the r. 4 5. company had cndca-
vored TO compel the owners of the b. &
r.. road to sell or lease the same to the
r. L. s. company, with the ultimate
view Of obtaining absolute control Of all
southern and western avenues Of trans
-portntion from Vermont; that these AR
bitrary and unjust measures had worked
oppression and hardship, In several
ways, tn the people ef southwestern
Vermont. There facts, and Others per-
haps less striking, brought 10 light by
the testimony before tie committee, il
seems WAS sufficient 10 make the com
mittee unanimous in its recommended
tion Of the passage Of n bill designed 10
remedy the evils, and ought TO convince
the Legislature We have no doubtthe
bill will pass.
The amendments proposed hedge in
the Bennington d Rutland company
and give part of the privileges to the

the marble companies from extortions

make other wholesome regulations and
restrictions. The committee has per

and the entertaining. The Artistic
portion isin harmony with the Literary
Contents, the four colored plates and
the twelve calendar pictures being orig
inal designs, chiefly illustrative of
American scenes and customs. The
Astronomical Department is unusually
full and important, comprising an ac-
count Of the Total Eclipse of the Sun
which will occurin August 1869, togeth-
er with map showing the portions of
the United States where the eclipse will
be visible, This eclipse will be of a
more striking character than any that
