CRIME AND THE TELEGRAPH.-Here is a
curious item which the overland telegraph
brings us from San Francisco. A Chinaman
tone of Mr.. Burlingame's constituency in
California, having contracted the barbarian
vica of swindling "does's~ sundry merchants
in San Francisco out of $4,000 gold, and,
getting on board the Pacific Mail steamship,
fees to the Central Flowery Kingdom. In
this way he hcpes,t tn put between himself
and those whom he has robbed, first, some
ten thousand miles of ocean. and then, the
uncounted millions of his native land. One
pig-tail being as like to another pig tail as
IS one pea to another pea, Hong-Kee (that
is the delinquent's detestable name) natur-
ally expects to vanish in the innumerable
throng of Celestials, and to be seen and
found no more of foreign devils thirsting
for their nbsquatulated cash. But Hong
Kec, ms the French say, has not counted
with the telegraph His victims turn q
back somersanlt upon hinaroYer two con-
tinents, an ocean and three seas. A tele-
gram from San Francisco bears the tidings
of his crime 20 New York, New York sends
it by cable across the Atlantic to Lon
don, through Franco and under the
Mediterranean to Alexandria, Alexandria
by the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf to
Bombay, Bombay to Ceylon, and Ceylon by
the Peninsular and Oriental steamers to
China. So that when Hong Kee trips
lightly down the ships gangway at Hong
Kong or Shanghai, dreaming of much opium

Sun in the Land of Flowers, his placid soul

The Elections.

The election returns come in slowly. There
was apathy in politics, and corresponding
.pathy in gathering and forwarding the re-
turns. Our Geographic Dispatches however,
indicate the general result pretty accurately
All the states but New York, New Jersey
and Maryland, have gone Republican by
small maiorities on reduced total vote. In
Massachusetts the Republican vote was weak
ened by the detection of many who opposed
the party on the liquor question. Ihe Legs
lature is believed to be nti-prohioitory-
Claain will have majority Of about ten
thousand. New Jersey and Maryland nat
urally went Democratic. New York Is sup
posed to have elected the Democratic State
ticket by small majority. Horace Greeley ran
several thousand above his ticket IN New OK
City. In the country, Gen. Sigel seems 70 have
led his party. The Republicans gain twenty
thousand votes in the city. The frauds
were, as usual, enormous. Many repeaters
were arrested.
The status Of the new Legislature Is, at
the time we write, in doubt. The Dem
ocrats labored zealously to obtain majority
in both branches. They may have succeeded
in the Senate.

from its frequent barometrical fluctuations from
high to low; barometer indicating great stmos-
pheric disturbances around US. The prevailing
high winds have been from the northeast, while
there has several times during the month, been
close approximation to gale, yet none such

The Office of Railroad Commissioner, as at
present administered, is simply an arrangement
by which the roads are made to contribute five
hundred dollars year for the benefit Of some
clever f-'lo1 The customary performance Of
the duties consists in sending suudry printed
blanks to the various roads, containing questions
which the roads answer or not, just as they

printed, whether tilled or still left blank, with
the other reports Of State officers. The roads
convey to the Commissioner no information
which they care to keep to themselves The
Commissioner enforces no authority, and seems
to assume no responsibility. The Office is thus
the most complete sneeure in the State.
We, the statute gives the Commissioner powers
and requires duties which may be Of real service
to the public The law gives him power to
extort all needed information, under penalties OF
fine and Imprisonment for refusal. It makes II
his duty to report the existence and causes Of

There is no need under such statute that the chief
labors Of the Commissioner should be confined to
an occasional free ride over some railroad, and
the drawing of his pay. resolute, independ-
ent and capable Commissioner can be of some
account in the Commonwealth. if be will But
if the Office is to be Of no more consequence than
It has been. the sooner the State is saved the
expense Of printing the reports, and the roads
the expense Of the Commissioner salary, the
better.

We are glad to see indications that our legis-

we presume do, that there is a very general and
decided feeling among the people that they ought

There are no great measures Of legislation de
manded which require protractcd session. The
losses 10y the freshets, ard the tight times, make

Censors, will demand heavy outlay. The Gov
ernor recommends an increased tax to meet the
wants Of the State Treasury. In this state Of
things almost any measure Of public economy Is
popular one, and an adjournment before
Thankskiying, which will reduce by third the
usual cost If the session, will be particularly
gratifying to the people. If the members will
