THE THIRD PARTY MONUMENTAL
this present writing but little is known of
the result of the election outside of this
county, and all conclusions to which we
may come will be only guess work.
There is one conclusion, however, to
which we can safely arrive, but it is
based on the vote of this county, meager
as are our returns and that is that Dwi-
nellie is overwhelmingly defeated. Whoth-
er Mckee or McKinstry is the choice
over him is more difficult to determine,
but we incline to the belief that the Dem
ocratic Judicial ticket is elected.
Our reasons for this belief are these !:
The new party has displayed a great
deal of activity in its cause, and has left
no stone unturned to carry its ends. The
country has been flooded with circulars
and tickets and in most instances these
circulars have been sent to old-linc Re-
publicans, the Independents evidently
recognizing the futility of attempting to
make converts from the Democratic
ranks. Their efforts have been so far
crowned with success rs to drawing n
large percentage of the Republican vote
to the support Of their candidate, while
Democrats generally have stood by their
man, as was to be expected by any one
having any correct Knowledge of the
political character of the average Demo-
crat. Where McKinstry has got one
vote from the Democratic ranks, he has
taken at least eight from those of the
Republicans. With the vote of the Repub-
licans divided between two candidates,
it becomes an easy matter to the Demo-
cratic nominee to slip in, if he carries
anything near the strength Of his party.
1t is claimed, however, that the Demo-
Gratis who acted with the Independents in
the general election will support McKins-
try for Supreme Judge. If this claim is
well founded, he is probably elected. We
place, however, but little reliance on the
assertion of the McKinstry organ that
such will be the case, for the general dis
position Of Democrats is to secure par
ty triumph when possible, and to be con-
tent with half loaf ronly when q whole
one cannot be got.

ANOTHER FINANCIAL PANIC. - The
Record of the 18th inst, commences q
leading article as follows: "Our news
from the East is of character to pro-
duce the most serious anxiety. Yester-
day the Bank of England advanced the
rate Of discount to six per cent, and the
conclusion being jumped at (perhaps cor
recty) that the motive of this step was to
check the flow of specie to the United
States, great shock was produced in f.
nancial circles, stocks tumbling fright
fully, reaching even lower points than
during the first panic, and series of
crashes, increasing in force as they went,
followed. From all sides securities were
thrown upon the market, which went
lower and lower under the pressure, and
when the time tor closing arrived, men
looked blankly into each others faces,
and realized that another panic far more
alarming than the first had come upon
them" The Record adds that this time
it appears the commercial circles had
caught it, and it is to be feared heavily.

The Yachting Season.

Tomorrow the yachting season will receive
its first impulse from the regatta of the New
York Yacht Club. The enchanting and in
vigorating sport that takes the spectator away
from terra .tir1na, and gives city-worn humanity
q blast of the salt sea breeze upon both cheeks,
is one whose growing popularity attests its
excellence. Quite number of the famous
and familiar white-winged sea-skimmers will
not we are sorry to say, participate in the
grand race tomorrow but the entries in
schooners and sloops are sufficiently numerous
to give promise of an exciting day if wind and
weather are in the yachtsman' s favor.
We oil know how rose-colored the horizon
of life can seem from beneath the awning of
the club steamer at regatta in our magnif-
cent bay. CHANGING waters, blue sky, just
fecked with downy cloudlets, o sense of
gentle motion, the fresh brine breeze
on the brow, strain of fine
music falling on the ears, beauty in human
form divine around you, and beauty in ship
shape comeliness on the waters, are all there.
The experience of that subdivision of NOR
tality-the racing day-may be made more
cunning in its charm if the spectator is one
of select few on q private steam, yacht
Then there are the masses to be considered
who crowd in jollity upon tn excursion

spirits and not unprovided with the ardent

for the starting point. On this we may speak
o timely word. The steamers provided are
not always Of that seaworthy class which
would receive the warranty of AL at Lloyds.
On regatta days they are generally overloaded,
to the extreme danger of those on board. The
experience of past seasons, should, there
fore, induce the government officers
charged with this duty to examine the
passenger certificates Of every steamer 30 en-
ployed, and to prevent their carrying more
than the stipulated number of passengers
We mark this course distinctly for the officers
in question, as dangerous evasions Of the law
are by no means infrequent at regattas where
a few extra dollars are to be made.
We notice several changes in the regu-
lations for the New York Clubs re-
gatta. The start this year is to be
flying one, which may have its advantages,
but is not nearly so pretty as general start on
signal from the anchorage. Then, too, the
starting point will be an imaginary line from
Fort Wadsworth to the committee steamer
that is, at the seward edge of the Narrows in
stead of the old line off the second landing in
the inner bay. This makes it palmer sailing
for the yachting world, and will avoid the
difficulty which often befalls from half o
dozen yachts being becalmed in the Narrows
Another alteration which we may notice is
that conveyed in the announcement
that 1.-THE rule restricting the number
of men to be carried on regattas has
