Simultaneous Sgiiiag Of The Ram Triumph
from LaUes and khe Spanish Gaaboats
from Neto Pork. a NaCal Battle E.c-
pectea- What Die Neat Tigeafg Jour
HoaTsnaay bring Forth.
a SUSPICIOUS VESSEL.
The rebel ram Atlanta, which has been
lying in the Delaware ever since her arrival
from Savannah, where she was captured,
was lately purchased from the Government,
ostensibly by Hayti. Since the purchase
the vessel has been thoroughly reiittod, and
is now in good sea-going condition. The
departure Of the Atlanta has from week to
week been delayed by some trivial excuse ;
but few days ago size dropped down the
Delaware to Lewes Her movements have
all along been shTouded in complete mys-
terry, and lattorly suspicious that she was
destined to be used in the interest of the in
surgent Cubans became rife.
A STARTLING COINCIDENCE.
It has been currently rumored that she
was watching the Spanish gunboats at New
York, and last evening, as if in confrma-
ton of the rumor, the two following des-
patches were received simultaneously at the
office Of the Press
LEwEs, Del. Dec. I9.-The ram Tri-
umph, late Atlanta, said to belong to the
Haytien government went 20 sea at Is
p. Nj. Dispatches were sent off to her be-
fore she sailed
New York, Dec. l9.--At ten O'Clock
this morning eighteen of the Spanish gun
boats, whose departure has been hourly ex-
pected during the past week, took up posi-
ton in the wake Of the Spanish war vessel
Pizarro, which has been lying in the North
river for three weeks, and, following her,
steamed slowly down the bay Few speeta-
tors were present, and there was no demon
stration whatever Twelve unfinished gun
B6ats yet remain at the Delamater Works.
OMNoUs
That portion of the telegram from Lewes,
which says that dispatches were sent to the
Triumph nee Atlanta before she went to sea,
coupled with the New York despatch an
nouncing the sailing of the Spanish gun
boats, would seem to confirm the rumor
that the Triumph belonged to the Cubans.
THE TRIUMPH,
is a powerful vessel, built in the most ap-
proved manner, and in the event Of her
meeting the Spanish gunboats the latter
would have no alternative but flight Her
ea-going qualities were proved on her
voyage from Savannah to Philadelphia.
As matters now stand, it is impossible to
say what win be the next development in
this mystery. Before night we may learn
of the destruction of the modern Spanish
armada and We may not / the Triumph
is really Cuban vessel her presence upon
the sea must play havoc with the Spanish
navy, which has no man-of-war capable Of
competing with her-Press Of the 20ih.

The territorial Legislature Of Wyoming, our

both houses the following bill

Of twenty one years, residing in this Ierri-

her rights to the elective franchise and TO
hold Office shall be the same under the elee-
ton laws of the Territory as those Of cleo
tors.
SIC. .. This act shall take effect and be
in force from and after its passage.
It has been approved by the Governor
aad viii be the law Of the territory unless
Congress yetoes it, which is not likely. The
experiment is evidently destined to receive
speedy trial. The result win be awaited
with no inconsiderable amount Of curiosity.
IN consequence Of the resignation Of
Judge Grier vacancy existsin the Supreme

pointment Of Edwin N. Stanton. No bet

would only be a fitting reward for the yalua-

dered the country. Edwin NJ. Stanton is a
lawyer of eminent ability and if appointed
will well sustain the high reputation of our
Supreme Bench. Judge Strong of Phila-

The spring elections throughout the inte-
rior of New York State show o very graifT.
ing increase of Democratic strength
Poughkeepsie has elected a Democratic
Mayor, for the first time in its municipal'x.
istence, by majority of more than 200.--
Newburg has heretofore been strongly Re.
publican, electing city officers of that stripe
and giving majority for Grant last fall
The Democracy has now made clean
sweep, electing the whole municipal ticket
except one Alderman and one Supervisor
For the past three years the Republicans
have carried the city of Oswego, but last
week the Democrats elected their candidate
by majority the largest ever receivee by d
Mayor in that city. Columbia county has
made gain securing two thirds majority
in the Board of Super, isors. In Utica the
success of the Democracy is unparalleled,
and in Elmira it has carried all before it!
In Saratoga, Erie, Cayuga and Ulster coun'
ties, large gains have been made, and
throuhout the State the indications are most
encouraging. Coming so soon after the Re-
PuoHcan success of last fall and at the very
time of the Inauguration of the new govern.
ment, these returns are gravely significant
OF rapid change in the prevailing popular
sentiment, foreshadowing speedy return Of
she masses to the party of economy, equal
rights and constitutional government.

ded $4,000 damages to Miss Mary Fergu
son in a suit against DR.. J. A. Bradshaw for
three several breaches of promise by the
Doctor to marry Mary. A singular feature
of the case is the fact that Mary is said to
be of African descent, and Bradshaw ia

jury, in making their award of damages, di.
rected it to the promise, and not to the
