THE ELECTIONS.

CONFERENCE.-THE telegraphic dispatches
announce that Gov. English, the Democratic
candidate, has been reelected by about 1000
majority. This, to US, is not only a most graf
living, but an unexpected result as We had
supposed, from the tremendous excrtions OF the
Radicals, and their confident boastings, that
they were sure of a triumph. The Radicals
are said to have a small majority in the Legis-
lature of the State.
MICHIGAN. Yesterday upon the vote ratl-
flying the Constitution recently framed, the ar
ticle, allowing colorcd citizens to vote, aoas re-
jected! An article in favor OF a prohibitory
liquor law was probably adopted. What will
the Radical Senators from that State now say
to the imposition of colored suffrage upon the
South, which their own State rejects?

MAsoNIc-A LODGE OF SoRRoW.-Irvipg
Hall, New York, on Tuesday evening last, says
the New York Sun, presented a strong con-
trast to it's usually gay appearance. Instead OF
lively dancers, about two thousand persons,
nearly all of whom were attlred IN the saolG
costume of mourning, assembled In that nall
to witness a Lodge OF Sorrow, gathered TO-
cJether to commemorate the memory Of those
brothers Of New York Lodge, No. $50, Z. and
A. NJ. who had died during the past year.
The hall was heavily drapod in black, and q
catatalouc, on which were emblazoned the
names of the above specified brothers, was
erected in the centre, with lighted tapers at
each corner. The seats for the guests were ar
ranged on three sides Of the catatalquc, the
unpper end of the hall being left tree tor the
grand officers. The open Holy Bible was pla-
oed on an altar in front of the cat
afaloue, aud around the galleries were
emb!azoned the names of those other members
who had died since the organization OF the
Lodge. The ceremonies were commenced with
the entrance OF the Lodge in procession, the
officers being alfred in a handsome funeral
r%cgalia. Four brothers attired in mourning,
with white scarfs, then took their stations, one
at each corner ofthe cataialque, aad the Lodge,
occupying the front seats around the catafalque,
was opened IN the form set apart 1or sucn o.
%casions. An ode was sung by the brethren,
and after a prayer by the Grand Chaplain,
and an anthem from the quartcttc choir, a Sc
cond ode was sung by the brethren. The Mas
ter, taking the skull in his hand, deliver,
ed an address to the Lodge on the subject OF
death after which the quartette choir sung a
beautiful piece, emitted Rest, Srirlt, Rest.
The choir then chanted the Lords Prayer In
a solemn and low tore, after which the iuner-
al procession was formed, and the white flow
ers, white wreath, and evergreen wreath de,
posted Oh the bier by the principal officers OF
the Lodge, each action being accompanied by
appropriate remarks and solemn music. John
". Simons, P. G. M, delivered the fqner-
| al grafton. After the Grafton the choir chan
ted an ave Maria" and the Lodge Of Sor-
row was finally closed in due form, the whole
asscmbIage first singing an ode to the tune OF
"Old Hundred"

The REMOVAL OF Gov. PEIRpo1NT. Com
mentipg on his subject, the Richmond Wing
says:
The first impression that must be made upon
every mind is that the reason assigned in this
order is not the real and ~actuating cause ofthe
change. Three months ago Peirpoint's term of
office had as fully expired, and he was then as
completely debarred from being his " sue
cessor as now. The contingency involving
these circumstances did not come upon Gen.
Scho6eld unawares he had abundant opporI
tunity to make preparation for it and we are
forced to the conclusion that if expiration of
term of service and inelegibility were grounds
for removal, the removal would then have
been made. Indeed, the more nearly the time
approached when an election was to be held,
the less occasion would there seem to DO for 3
removal, tor the cause stated. We make these
remarks not in the spirit of criticism or con-
demnation of what has occurred, but with the
view of keeping the public attention awake to
what is going on. We do not know-we can
hardly say We suspect-the real cause Of this
aethronement and installation. But ne can
not help f~ancyipg there is something in it that
seals the doom Of Hunnicutt and all such trash.

d" RAIL ROAD AFFAIRS The Richmond
Wing referring to the movements of the Baltl-
more & Ohio R. R., to secure the trade of the
Valley of Va, to Baltimore, has the following:
1.-THE nearest way to the ocean from the
Lower Valley is not by Baltimore, and the time
will come when the concentration Of capital and
business in Norfolk will make her attraction
felt as against Baltimore, even at Winchester.
Looking to such a future, and as . means OF
fastening it, what would the Winchester Times
say to q connection between the Manassas and
Fredericksburg railroads? From Manassas
Junction to the nearest point on the Freder-
icksburg road, by a straight line, does not seem
to be mere than thirty.miles. The filling in of
this gap would make a nearly direct road from
Strasburg to Richmond. The Lower Valley
would t en- have its choice between Richmond
and Baltimore as a market, and its citizens
would have a reader and cheaper communica-
ton than they now have with theirCapital: Be-
sides, with this interval closed, the Fredcrlcks-
burg road would then have a connection with
Washington and the North by rail, and would
be exempt from the serious Interruptions it is
now subjected to by the freezing of the Poto-
mac. &c"
