Wumor. Of the Election.

There we're many humorous incidents
connected with election held last Tues
day, and contrary to all expectations,
the result is not altogether unsatisfac-
tory. The unterrifed Democracy ac'
knowledge an overwhelming defeat but
"in view Of all the circumstances" say
some of the suifragans, "its all for the
best" There seems to be sort OF be-
lief that Judge Barbour Lewis will do
the district some service in Congress,
and that he will use his utmost efforts in
our behalf All seem to take the result
good naturedly, and thus rob defeat OF
half its terrors. Among the many bets
was one made by our friend Lou Leu
brie-that New York would go for Gree
ley, agreeing to march through the
streets in the character of drum major
in front of brass band, IL his predic-
tons failed, his opponents to do the
same thing in the event of Greeley s
success. A forfeit Of two hundred dol
lars side was deposited in the hands Of
friends, and now Leubrie has until Sat
urday afternoon to decide whether he
will march or forfeit his two hundred
dollars. 1t is play or pay, and in view
of the hard times, Leubrie is in guam
dairy which to do.

was TO be had 45, 000-by two Of the
banks, who bought at So y $1,000 dis
count, and 25c more would probably
have been paid, for as much more, max
ing it cost as much as it would to import
currency. This is owing mainly to the
light receipts of commercial bills and
the heavy collections-one bank alone
reporting their bills from other cities at
least one thousand more than at this
time last year. As rule they are paid
promptly, but generally the grace" is
taken. Commercial bills are taken at !
@sc discount on Eastern points, and 90
on New Orleans, and for sight drafts on
all points bankers charge par.
Gold is offered only in small quanti-
ties, and TIA is paid by dealers for a

Scarcely anything is doing in scrips or
stocks. We learn Of but two saies--the
first $l2, 900 Mississippi and Tennessee
second mortgage bonds at zoe, and the
second dealers purchase Of $4,000 Al
corn money at 92c; 94c was paid yester-
day by dealer for $500 old Bank Of
Tennessee money, for which there is an
active demand. Shelby county war
rants are also in demand at 90@92c.
