IHE EXCURSION YEsTERDAY.-Th excur-
sion OF the Medical Society and their
guests, down the river yesterday, on the
steamer Governor Worth, was one of the
most pleasant affairs that las ever been
known here. The boat lef the wharf, foot
OF Market street, at about o'clock,
freighted with good portion of the youth
and beauty OF this city, and with a large
majority Of our own, and the visiting, ply
sicians. The Rose Bod band had been
engaged for the occasi ion, and they were
soon called on, for scarcely had the boat
left the wharf when the dance was begun.
The run dowr the river was very pleas
ant one, and the boat first stopped at Fort
Caswell. Her9 the party landed, and an
hour was spent in rambling through and
around the old fort, in strolling on the
beach, or in quiet social conversation in
some snug corner looking out far over the
ocean.
From CasWell it was but A short distance
to Smithville, and there another and
longer stay was made, our friends from
the interior especially admiring its situa-

POLITICAL.
NEW YORK ELECTION.

The majority for Mr.. Church for Chief
Judge is not likely to be below So, 600.
There is something wonderful in the polit-
!cal changes that have taken place in the
interior of the State. Cayuga County is
Democratic for the first time in thirty
years. Oswego County, which gave Grant
3, 455 majority in 1868, has given Church
500 majority. Jefferson County gave
Grant 2,538 majority, and Church now
has 400 majority. Genesee County, which
went for Grant by l ,407 majority, has now
gwen a Democratic majority. More re-
markable still, old Chautauqua, which has
been Wing and Republican from time i'm
memorial, Is this year gathered into the
Democratic fold. Grants majority in the
county in 1868 was nearly 5000. When
the ira! result Of the election is obtained,
no further argument will be needed to
prove that the Republican party in the
State of New York has gone to pieces com
pletely.
