The Trouble of Close Election,

CONCORD, April 29.-At meeting of the
Governor and Council to day, the votes for Con,
gressional Representatives in districts one and
two We're counted, and the committee will count
that for the third district tomorrow. There
will be no change in the vote as already report
ed in the first and third districts. Returns in
the second district were found to give the cleo
ton to Hon. Austin E. Pike by plurality At
the request Of the Governor and Council parties parties
were heard on the question of correcting cleo,
ton returns, errors in favor of Hon. s. N BELL
having occurred, as declared in Ward 3 NAN
chester and Hopkinton, the correction OF winch

er of the Governor and Council to go behind
record of votes in the several towns in the dis
tricts was discussed at great length, pro and

bore directly ON the case, therefore controversy
depended almost exclusively as question of
propriety CT opening a subject which might
have no possible point of termination. and
might not be confined to errors specifically al
legged. The Council arose without deciding on
the question of granting certificate to either
contestant, and it is pretty we'll understood here
tonight the question of executive authority to
permit corrections of returns will be submitted
to the Judiciary of the State.

QUESTIONABLE ECoNoMY.-Any If the Safe
Deposit Vault Companies in New York city,
would have taken on special deposit the valu-
ables going to make up the $4,000 belonging
to ndiylduals-receiyed by the directors of tho
Atlantic National Bank, as a favor ~ to the
depositors-which the Cashier Of that institu-
ton used up in his operations in Wall street, for
n sum not exceeding two dollars per thousand.
The failure to make deposits with Deposit
Company results in q loss to some one-the
stockholders of the bank or the depositors-of
some ninety nine and four-fifths per cent OF the
amount. Tie depositars have the satisfaction
of knowing that they did not have to pay that
one-fifth Of one per cent for security.

A LUMBER FlRE-The firm of Move, Cole
& Benson, recently established in New York,
and engaged in the sale and shipping of lumber
is already doing large and prosperous bust
ness. We take pleasure in noticing this fact
for the reason that two members of the house
are Maine men. Mr.. Move was reared in East
port, and Mr.. L. II. Cole is well known here as
the efficient manager of large lumber bust
ness IN this city. All the partners are young
men, having both energy and capital, and their
success seems already assured. We are glad to
know that they will have branch Office in this
city, taking charge of the lumber business in
which Mr.. Cole has heretofore been interested.
Messrs. Move and Cole were in the city yester-
day, and rendered dinner at tho Falmouth
Hotel to few OF their friends in the lumber
business 1t was very pleasant affair."

WASHINGTON.
An Important Decision

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Supreme Court
Yesterday in the collision case from Mary land,
ield that nautical rules require when a steam
er and sailing vessel are approaching, that from
the very moment sail is in view the steamer
shall watch with utmost diligence her course
and movements so as to be able to adopt such
timely measures of precaution as will necessary
prevent the two boats coming in contact. The
fault ON the part of the sailing vessel does not
absolve the steamer suffering itself to get into
dangerous proximity. The steamer in allowing
such proximity is chargablo with all damages
resulting. A steamer is bound to keep out of
tue way OF sailing vessels.
