THE ELECTION YESTERDay

The corrected returns published BY Us else
where show that Mr.. Bowen, the Republican
candidate for Mayor, has been elected by a
small majority.
The Conservatives have CARED four wards
o. the cite, giving them the majority in the
lower board OF the City Councils, but in the
upper board, in consequence Of Republican
Aldermen holding over, there will be a tie;
that is, il the colored Alderman elected from
The First Ward is held to be- eligible. The act
% Congress recently passed extending the char
Ter, II would appear, does not really make the
tolored CITIZEN eligible 10 q seat IN the City
Councils, though 1t qualities him for any office
IN the appointment of the Mayor and Csuncils.
The second section Of this act provides that no
person shall be regarded as incompetent to hold
any non -elect We Office be disqualified there
Ter, who is a qualified elector in this District
II Is held, however, by the Republicans,
that the point in question Il covered by Mr.
Summers bill striking out the word "white''
from the charter. The question has never been
decided by the Senate whether this bill became
law or not and il Is now before the Judiciary
Committee. Mr.. Trumbull. it is said, is pre-
pared TO report fayorably upon the eonstruc-
ton that it Is a law, and should he do so, the
cOlored men elected to the Councils from the
FIRST Ward will probably secure their seats.
Quite a change has been made in the compo-
sItion Of the two Boards, il will be SEEN In the
Board Of Aldermen Mr.. Larman, Republican,
OF the First Ward; Mr.. Richards, (Rep.) of the
Second Ward, Mr.. Lloyd, Conservative of
the Fourth Ward; Mr.. Grinder, (RepD of the
Fifth Ward, and Mr.. Talbert, (Con.) of the
Sixth Ward, are the only members holding
over from last year. Mr.. John F. Cook, rep. }
colored, is elected from the First Ward; Mr.
Croker, (Rep) from the Second Ward: Messrs
r. W. Fenwick COM and b. f. Morsell
Com from the Third Ward; Mr.. w. W. Moore
(Con.) is reelected from the Fourth Ward
Mr.. George +. Gulick (Con.) from the Fifth
Ward; MI. Donald McCathran (Con.) is re-
elected from the Sixth Ward; and Messrs s s.
Baker (Rep.) and H NJ. knight rep from the
Seventh Ward. Messrs. Croker, Morsell
Baker, and knight, have served in the lower
Board and Mr.. Gulick has represented the
fifth Ward heretofore in both Boards Messrs
Rutherford lRep.,) Ball (Con.,) Nalley (Con..)
Miller Con- and Dalton Conf are the only
members of the lower Board reelected Mr.
W L. Brown (eon.,) of the Third Ward. and
Mr. W. p Ferguson (Con y of the Fifth Ward
have served heretofore in the Councils
II is understood this afternoon that the Re-
publicans propose 10 contest the election in the
Fifth Ward, on the ground that soldiers and
sailors yotes-some $50 in all-were illegally
received. II is stated, also that the election of
Mr.. Bowen will be contested BY the Couser
vatyes, on the ground of Illegal votes cast for
HIM.

Mr. Poland, from the select committee on the
Washburne- Donnelly investigation, reported
that Mr.. Washburne had Withdrawn all charges
against Mr.. Donnelly Of bribery and corrup-
ton, and all charges affecting his character
and standing as q member; that Mr.. Washburne
nad raised the question that the committee hao
no right to inquire into the other charge affect
ing Mr.. Donnelly's history before he became a
member; that he was not the prosecutor, and
would not undertake to prove the truth of the
charges; that Mr.. Donneliy had offered TO prove
the falsity Of the charges and pay all the ex-
penses of the witnesses, but that the committee
took the view that the actions of members be-
fore being elected to Congress were not proper

Mr.. Washburne had retracted what he had

asked to be discharged from the further consid-

After discussion, the report was ordered to be
printed and recommitted and the House then
adjourned.

channel. He did not say ii was so; but be SAID
that from the divided responsibility and want
of accord between them there Were no pronar
Officers TO collect the revenue, and, therefore
stealing went on. These facts tended TO iIlus-
trate the proposition that the country hal an
establishment without a responsible head and
that the law would never be executed or the
taxes eolled until the system was reduced To a
concentrated responsibility. The Committee
had settled down on the conclusion that the
II ue way To get the tax collected was to impose
the responsibility on one officer, strongly en-
powered and armed for the purpose and 10 hold
MN 10 the strictest account for everything he
shall do under such circumstances, that all
pubic eryation and all watchfulness of the
law may be concentrated, upon him. He ad-
mltted that great power was conferred by the
bill on an executive officer; not much greater
however, than IL now exercised by the CoIIec
tor OF Customs OF New York. 1t was great

Aggregate cost OF collection he estimstsd -
scse,s7u: In the course OF his speech he said
that with regard to the tax upon disullsd
spirits he believed that the law as now framed
would tend TO the greater security Of the reye-
nues, and would secure q revenue that would
be of real benefit to the country. While the di.
rect tai has been retained. special taxes have
also been imposed. He had not much hope that
the House ouid retain the tax, and he had
come very reluctantly to believe that the tax
would be reduced. He believed that the q ues
ton should be fought out on the line q which
IT was originally fixed. hut be hsd met with
