DEXTER S TIME BEATEN.-The Cold Spring
race, at Milwaukee, yesterday, between Gold
smith Maid and Lucy, was won by the former,
she making the three heats in 2:20!, PIT, and
2:2Oi. In the second heat the watches of the
judges did not agree, one making it ,. l6I.
another, 2:l64, and another, 2:l7. To prevent
any doubts, the latter time was adopted. The
race was witnessed by about 1000 persons,
who were greatly excited by the brilliant per
tormances of Goldsmith Maid.

IHE ELECTIoNs.-Within the last week or
ten days several elections have been held. as
follows; Wilmington, which we hurriedly
noticed last week, California, Wyoming Terri
tory, and lastly Maine, and the result is unaDi
mOusly In iayo: Of the Republicans.
The result in Wilmington is important more
In local than general sense. 1t shows that
legislation cannot thwart the will of the people
and give the city over to the control of the
democrats. The Legislature may again sub
divide the Democratic wards, and double the
number making twenty where there is now ten.
but so long as the people endorse the princi-
pies of the Rep, ,...., 80 long will sucb
mean partisan legislation be thwarted If the
Democrats want cort,r' rf 'ln citv. as thew
evidently DO. am .'- H. thew will
nave to appeal to the people, and not TO such
Legislatures as will do their bidding, 1t ia
wrong both in theory and practice, as they now
see. The result of last week reverses the order
OF things The City Council now stands twelve
Republicans to nine Democrats, instead of nine
OF the former to twelve Of the latter. as last
year Joshua Maris is elected President Of
the Council over Bright, the Democratic in
cumbeDt, and altogether the Republic ans NAL ke
gain OF about COO votes in the city.
The election in California took place last
"Wednesday, and there, too, the result is re-
versed. The Republicans have gained control
OF the State, electing Booth Governor by from,
5000 to 5000 majority, securing majority in
the Legislature, which elects U. S. Senator.
also electing all three of the Congressman.
The Democrats have been in power in the
State for several years.
Wyoming Territory also held its election last
week, and the Democrats were ousted from
power. The Republican Delegate to Congress
was elected, and one branch of the Legislature
tae Senate, is Republican. Last year the
Legislature was unanimously Democratic. The
women vote in this Territory, and in one of the
Legislative Districts, where one-sixth Of tho
votes were cast by females, the other day, the
democratic candidate was elected. Win thi

RAILROAD MATTERS.-From what we deem
good authority, We learn that the officers of
the Kent County Railroad, ND. have under
consideration project to connect their road
with the proposed Smyrna and Delaware Bay
Road, by running short road from Massey's
TO Clayton, distance of about twelve miles.
This is, or would be feasible route, if the
Bombay Hook road has any feasibility.
But it would be like counting Unmatched chick
ems to make speculations on that enterprise
In our local items will be found an arti-
Gle IN reference to project to construct mar
row gauge road through Cecil county to Mid
dletown, to facilitate the shipments Of the
peach growers. If such a road were built, the
cars, on reaching Middletown would have to
be reloaded, which, in the long run, would
counterbalance the difference in expense be-
tween building a narrow -guage and wide
guage road
The Maryland & Delaware Railroad Com
pany and the politicians Of Talbot county are
at logger heads, it seems. According to the
understanding Of the Il. r. Company. tor
mer board of County Commissioners of Talbot
subscribed the sum of $4,000 to aid the road.
and in Decembe. last the President of the
road, Gen. Tilghman made formal demand
on the present board Of Commissioners to nav
the subscription. The Easton Star SAYS the
commissioners replied by stating that there
could not be found in the office any record of
the fact that the Old Board had subscribed the
stock, and called on the President of the rail
road company for the evidence Of the subscrip
tlon. Nearly year has passed, and yet the
Commissioners have received no official answer
to their communication. The Star adds ::
And now 1t is proposed, we suppose, to take
the matter out Of the proper channel of settle
ment, throw 1t again into our county politics
and elect commissioners pledged to paw the
money without respect to the law" 1t is
generally known that there is a lack of bar-
mony among the Democracy of Talbot, as be-
tween the Martin and the Hambleton WINS
the former Of which is 1.-THE ring" and has
the control Of county affairs. The officers of the
road being Democrats, We suppose they will es-
p1use the Hambleton side, If the predictions of
