THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION

Some stress has been laid upon the
meagreness OF the vote at the Congress
sional election in this State in October,
1872, ss compared WITH the magnitude
OF that in August, TO afford pretext
for setting aside the election aud ad'
hitting TO seats in Congress those who
claim to have been chosen at the
August election. The reasons for the
mesgreness Of the vote in October, es-
pecially in the First District, are well
understood here and in no just manner
prejudice Mr.. WiLsoN's claims TO a
place in Congress.
The vote upon the new constitution
and for the election Of State and county
officers on the ODD of August, called TO
the polls nearly all OF the qualified
voters of the State. In fact
the chiet object which the Convention
had in ordering the election OF officers
TO be he'd on the same day on which
the Constitution was 10 be voted upon
was that the personal efforts OF candI-
dates might be put forth to bring out q
full vote OF the people. 1t was not
contemplated, however, that any cleo
ton for members OF Congress should
be had at that time, and the number Of
votes actually cast on the 22d OF August
for representatives in Congress, was due
to the canvass which had been had
for the Constitution aud for State and
county officers, and was not a distinct
expression OF popular will in relation to
Congressional candidates. 1t had been
generally understood that no election
for Congressman could be held at that
time; that votes cast for representa-
tives would not count" and that an
other election would have to be held in
October.
But still, ia many Of the counties the
names OF Congressional candidates
were placed upon the ballots. In at
OF the counties Of the First District this
was done by the Republicans, but in
Writ and in numerous precincts in
other counties it was not done by the
Democrats. When the people came tc-
gether TO vote upon the
new Constitution and for
State and county officers, the tickets
were deposited without thought that an
election for members of Congress was
ALEC being held. The large vote in
August was due entirely to causes re-
mote from and independent OF the con-
gressionsl canvass, and yet il Mr.. WILL
sons name had been upon all the Dem
ocratic tickets, as Mr.. DAVIS was upon
all the Republican, the former would

The newspapers of New York have
long lamented the fsgrant dishonesty
and corruption of the so.called detso-
tive system of that city, by which some
of the most arrant knaves in the ooun-
try live we'll, dress we'll and grow rich.
under the pretense that they are ferret
ing out thieves and murderere, while in
reality they are the oonfederates of
criminals, whose spoils they often share
and whose exemption from punishment
they secure as long as it is profitable for
them to do 30. The recent conduct OF
the New York detectives, in regard to
the arrest of the Bank of England
torgers, caused the officers OF the bank
10 say to the people of that city that
their police detectives were the
patrons. partners and protectors Of,
habitual forgera and criminals" Tho
judgment is very severe ono, but can
hardly be considered unjust. The New
York detectives have probably assistea
more rascals to escape than thew ever
brought to Justice. The Sun and other
leading daiiies urge the abolition of the
whole system.

We extract the following from letter
recently received from Vienna:
"One OF the most attractive features
in the machinery department OF the
Vienna Exhibition is the collection of
Fairbanks &c Company's scales, and q
large crowd is frequently gathered
around it. Several of the royal and i'm
perial visitors have shown great interest
in the weighing apparatus, and some of
them have tried their weight upon one
OF the scales. The Austrian Emperor
made careful examination of this part
OF the American section, and after look
ing at the different varieties, from gold
and letter up to the railway scales, paid
high compliment to the skill aud en-
terprise of the inventors. Fairbanks
scales have become the standard in
several European countries, and their
adoption by Austria can be regarded as
among the certaintiee.
"Alany of the foreign visitors to the
Vienna Exposition are greatly puzzled
over the scales exhibited in the Amer
can department by Fairbanks & Com.
pany. They can understand tho appa-
ratus for weighing small articles and all
the dozen or more ordinary varieties of
scales. but when they come to the rail.
way scales for weighing several loaded
cars at once. they are quite bewildered.
Such scale is beyond their compreher-
sion, and they examine it with much
doubt. The agent of the Fairbanks
house has great many inquiries to
answer daily, and the questioners fre.
quently remark, when their curiosity is
satisfied, that they never before under.

The ALARM BELL.-It is believed that
successful cast was made Of the now
bell, yesterday afternoon, by Mr..
McDougal, at Mayor Ale1ander's
foundry. A number Of citizens were
present. many of whom dropped silver
coin in the molten metal, to assist in
improving the tone of the about-to-be-
constructed fire-slarm. The new bell is
to be 200 pounds heavier than the old
one. Mr.. McDougal is believed to be
the only man in the State who is com-
petent to do the job. We hope in q
few days to be able to announce the
successful test OF this second re.oast of
the metal.
