United States Commissioner StOrrs, at
Rochester, n. Y, has delicate and trying duty
to perform. The fifteen ladies who voted at the
late election are before him on charge of ille
gal voting; they admit the allegation, pleading
their constitutional right to the ballot. The
startling question remains, What is he going
to do about it :
Meuimon, the Liberal candidate for Senator
before the North Caroline LvS islaturo, ooonno
to havo gained a very little, though not
enough to indicate what will be the re-
suit of the contest Vance has lost four votes
and Merrimon has an increase Of four All
parties seem determined to prolODg the strug-
gle indefinitely.
Another warning to railway managers is |
given in the disaster on the Syracuse and
Bnghamton branch Of the Delaware and
Lackawanna Railroad. The engine actually
Jumped the track and plunged down an en-
bankment, drawing the train after it. The
explanation of the accident is that the rails /
were worn ont. The manner of the engines
movement indicates that this was exactly the
condition Of the track.
There was general expression of surprise
when it was reported that the German Minis
ter at Washington had not only admitted that
his Government had ordered new hinderances
TO emigration to this country, but bad sent
him an official explanation of this proceeding.
II seemed undiplomatic; and the explanation
vas extraordinary indeed. The contradiction
,f The whole story by authority of Baron
hGzer is not unexpected.
The discovery of discrepancy of more
iian Sl1G,O0OOO0 in the accounts of the Treas
Y Department should not be viewed with
arm by anybody. The discrepancy is only
parent and is found by comparing the
g. atemens OF the actual debt with the ac-
,31nts of receipts and expenditures of the
reasury since the adoption of the COnstitu
ton. The irrecOncilability of the balances,
however, shows how changes in bookkeeping
may gradually roll up large discrepancy.
According to the official reports which en-
nnate from the War Department, the actual
force of the Army of the United States is /
now 29,336 enlisted men. This more nearly /
approaches to the old peace minimum than at
any time since the war. At the breaking out /
of the rebellion the whole strength of the
Army was estimated loosely at 10000 We i
have no means at present of giving the exact
annual cost of maintaining this force; but it /
is supposed that it has steadily diminished
with the size Of tie Army.
Incidentally some discussion Of the principal
points in Jay Gould's defense in the Erie suit
came up yesterday in the Supreme Court. One
of the counsel said that the release of Gould
which he obtained from the Erie Company
was not worth anything more than so much
waste paper. On the other hand, Goulds
counsel argued that the manner Of his arrest
and the magnitude of the bail sought to be ex-
acted showed that the suit was designed to aid
stock jObbing operations, and not TO facilitate
the course Of justice. These two points, then,
are to be foremost in the trial which is now
coming on. The value Of the release and the (
connection of the suit with the famous "cor-
"nern in Northwestern Railway stock viii be
settled with the case.
There is fair prospect for q revolution in
Alabama. The newly qualified Governor
Newis) has recognized the so-called "bolters" /
Legislature as the legally qualified Legislature. I
According to all accounts, the Legislature
which is in session at the State House lacks
40 clement Of legality and regularity; it was
recognized by Gov Lindsay, who was the
Chief Executive Of the State when the
