NJ. a. Green leaves this evening for Detroit

The POLAR EXPEDITION The return of
the Iigrc>s brings with it a very strange story
from Mr.. Tyson, the commander Of the party
story about the death ofCapt. Hail. but alleges
BuIdin4ton. A. the statement of the latter
has not bccu made pubic, i, would be unfair 10
comment on the probability Of what Tyson ad-
vanceS on hearsay 1t is curious that Morton
condemns Dr. Brssel and Tyson Captain Bud
dington. The Danish Inspector of Greenland,
Mr.. krarup Smith, believed Burlington 10 be
the tool Of BeSscl and now Buddng!on APP
pears, through Tyson, as !hc 1cnouncer of the
German scientist 1t would, indeed, be well
that The whole truth was laid before the public
to reconcile as far as possible, The statements
regarding the sad death of Capt. Hall, or, al
| least, to let the anlmus on each side Of the
question be separated from the facts as they
occurred. ~ 7. HraM
THE VIRGINIA ELECTION. The Courier
Journa discourscs Of the Virginia election as
follows: Hughes has made au able canvass
but he has failed. and what is worse, lie has de-
served failure. Ii is more than likely that he
will be rewarded with torei On MISSION for his
uutlagslng devotion to the cause OF the admin
istraton and his great energy in conducting
hopeless CANVASS in lis interest. The task he
undertook was an almost impossible one. Alter
his party bad rIunIerc1 every Southern State
over WHICH IL acquired cDDllD!, aIfcr II natl lU
four years of Dpprc>>loG, increased their deb! TO
nearly one hundred millions of dollars more
than it was when it came into power: it was
folly for him to hupc to secure it control ot
Virginia Bur the battle is over and the vie
tory won. 1t is profitable to dwell upon the
danger after it is past only us Il warning against
is recurrence and We arc sure that, with new
p"rlls. the same cXertionS aud the same spirit
will be manifested Oh the part Of the old State.
PIEDMONT AND PoToMAc R>ILRnAD.--It is
DOW stated nn authority that the District Of
Columbia lra- never subscribed any money t"
the Piedmont railroad, although such ueasur~
was voted on by the people and passed by a
large majority Gov. Cooke, it is said. refused
to subscribe that sum to the bonds OF the road
because they had not carried out some Of tie
provisions in the bill as it passed the l'alsla
turr one Of which was that there should be 50
macy miles If tn. road cons ructed before any
subscription should be made to it. When Gov-
ernor Cooke found that no portion Of the read
was constructed h. refused to advance the
money. So the matter stands in the same way
as before any money was voted t. the stock.
1t is very probable that no effort will ever be
made to get the mouey, and even if an app!Ica-
ton should be made, owing to our financial
condition. the District would not be able to
comply. Bah. SIN.
