WE NOTICE that there is some complaint on
the part of the Philadelphians at the increased
price Of beef. 1t is accounted for on the ground
that there has been steady decrease in the
number of beeves brought to that market since
1850, though there has been large increase OF
the population, and hence of consumers. The
supply OF animal food has been made up In a
measure by an increase of hogs and sheep
brought to market. What is true of Philadel.
phia, is probably true OF Washington. Whether
there has been any falling off here in the mum.
Der of beef cattle brought to market, we can.
not now say, but there is one fact that we feel
assured OF, viz. good beef is hardly within the
reach OF men Of ordinary income.

WE HAVE in the London Star an account Of
Mormonism as 1t exists in England at this
time. The Star says:
TN the London district there are nine
branches OF the Mormon church, one hundred
and seven elders of conference, ffty-three
priests, twenty-four teachers, thirty deacons;
In all, eleven hundred and seventy.two Nor
mons In the London conference. Here is q
fact that may induce the ritualists and their
enemies to make up their differences as soon
as possible. The statistics were given at a
synod Of the Latter-day Saints, held at the
Music Hall. Store street, on Sunday last.
Four-and-twenty gentlemen in black, includ.
ing the president OF the day, were on the plat
form, and delivered reports. They were called
elders, though twenty was rather above their
average age. Among other interesting facts
in their report 1t was stated that during the
last six months 1872 persons have been bap.
tiled, four have died, sixteen have been cut
oil. 1t appears that Utah is filling so rapidly
that It is doubtful whether all the Latter-day
Saints in England will be able to get away
there this year. by a show Of hands Mr..
Brigham Young and lis counsellors, the
twelve apostles, the bishops and other officers,
were sustained in their present positions.'

WE CANNOT REFRAIN from making honora-
BILE mention Of a noteworthy exception to a
general rule. Almost always when party 10
defeated In an election the custom is for the
defeated party to charge upon their opponents
gigantic frauds. At the municipal election in
Chicago the other day the Republican party
experienced a partial defeat, and we now have
the admission Of the Chicago Republican that
there was but "little fraudulent voting" This
Is SO remarkable that we are induced to make
. note of II. Tho Republican says that such is
the stringency Of the registry system that
many Of the Republicans who were obliged to
wait a long time to get a chance to deposit
their votes concluded, on account of the
pressure Of their business, to leave, and thus
lost the opportunity to deposit their ballots.
The Republican seems to be hopeful for the
future. That journal says:
"The city has a Republican Mayor, a large
Republican majority In the Common Council,
with Republican material in the city su I'll Glen l
to hold and guard every point In any future
campaign, where prudence and earnestness
are party possession among leaders as well
as the rank and file"

New ORLEANS, April 2i-The Republican
foots up the returns from thirty-four parishes,
giving O,OOo majority only in favor of rati dca-
ton. The remaining fourteen parishes will
probably increase these figures. The Repub-
licans claim twenty-four out OF thirty-six Sen.
ators and forty members of the House.
New ORLEANS, April 2I.-Further returns
increase the majority for the constitution In
the parishes. 1t will be some days before the
result will be officially promulgated. The
constitution Is ratified and the Ra alcal State
ticket elected without doubt.
The Republican says the seat ol Mann, the
Democratic congressman elect from the First
district, will be contested by tia defeated Re-
publican candidate.
Frauds by the Radicals, bo,ah In the county
and city, are charged. Cases are cited In one
precinct OF this city where over 1000 more
votes were polled than registered. One Of the
registers reports officially to the Comm a ng
General that one of the bnllot-boxes bears the
marks of violence and shows concluslvely that
1t has been tempered with.

quired by the President, 1t supersedes the
Comptroler's decision of November %, 1867.

MAPLE SUGAR is becoming quite an article
of merchandise in most of the markets of the
Northi indeed we see much of 1t for sale In
this city. The bulk of this sugar comes from
Michigan, Massachusetts,, Vermont, and some
portions of New York. The Massach usetts
sugar is considered the best. There is pretty
rapid sale for 1t in all our cities, though the
price per pound ranges rather high. At retail
1t runs from 20 to IS cents per pound. The
best of maple syrup ranges from "a to o. %
per gallon at retail. The best of 1t comes in
cans and Is an excellent article for table use
