| vi h''ihilCf, anu distribute
whatever cash might be realized
from such ruinous sacrifice of the
millions of deprecated stocks which
constitute the great bulk ofthe assets
ofthis estate. An appeal from Judg ge
| Cadwalader's decision was there
fore taken to the circuit court, and
upon this appeal the exhaustive and
learned opinion of Mr.. Justice
Strong was delivered yesterday,
sustaining the trustee aud his com
mlttee IN view of the law which
gives them full discretion to sell
when they deem it judicious or to
withhold the securities from the
market, or to distribute them In
kind among the creditors. And
this they are to do utterly without
any control of the great body OF
creditors, whose power has passed
from them, aud even of the bank
rupt court, unless of course, the
committee exercise that discretion
naqta tide,
sand now, as TO the future
and in this the eighteen hundred
large and small creditors of Jay
| Cooke e co. are most interested.
1t is incidentally but authoritatively
learned that the trustee proposes to
complete within two or three weeks
tull account and report of his adj
ministration Of the estate, showing
the amount Of money received by
him the sources from which it came,
what property is still OF hand undis-
posed of, what claims have been
proven against the estate, and what
are in dispute. This account will
be submitted to the committee, au-
dited, adjusted, and settled by them
in order that the distribution may
be made by them. They will send
notices to the creditors, fixing a time
and place at which they can make
an examination Of the account and
make exceptions to the report or to
the claims of other creditors
When this has been done, distri bu-
ton of the money on hand (amount-
ing certainly to 5 per cent, and pos
slbly to 7 I-2 per cent together with
such securities as are susceptible of
distribution in kind will be made.
"By the judicious management
and firmness OF the trustee and his
committee, acting at every step I'M
der the sound legal advice of their
counsel, nothing has been sacrificed,
aud nothing will be sacrificed for
by dividing the securities, Of which
there are some six or eight millions
susceptible of distribution, each
creditor will be able to nurse and
take care of ms own share. All
this, it is hoped and expected, will
be fully completed in a month or six
weeks from this day"

The Times says the result Of the
elections can not be a surprise to

Unless the Republican party is con
Quoted with greater wisdom and

The question before the people was
whether the administration deserves
public confidence and whether Ii
ought to be perpetuated. Both have
been answered, IN the negative.
The public nave grown weary OF a
SIX years rule remarkable for moth

Republican party as for the Demo

that the mad rioting Of their leaders
in the insoIence Of office has been
rebuked and arrested. 1t is vic

TIE ELECTIONS.

On Tuesday last political tidal
wave swept over the country, and
the result is that the democratic re-
form party achieved signal victo-
ry throughout the nation. The
most astounding victory was in
Massachusetts, which elecled a
democrat governor-the first cleo
ted by a straight democratic vote
for more than twenty years-Ben
Butler was beaten IN the Essex dis
trict, and Gen. Banks elected by a
large majority. The state of New
York went democratic by a very
large majority, electing TIlden,
democrat, governor. The demo
Gratis swept everything before them
III Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia,
Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, in fact everywhere ex-
cept in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
one or two other Northwestern
states.
This election will completely
change the complexion of the House
Of Representatives. The last House
had 202 Republicans and 90 Demo
crats-a Republican majority of ll2
whereas the next house, after the
4th Of March next, will contain a
Democratic majority of from 80 to
so.

TILE FOG ON THE RIVER.

The heavy fog which had darkened the city and
its surroundings for several days past cleared on
at about Blk O'Clock yesterday morning. The
shrek OF the steam whistles OF the ferrybOats or
the doleful ringing OF the fog bells on the North
and East rivers were heard no more, and the day
was bright and cheerful, almost resembling May
morn save for the terrible condition of the Streets
with their deep coating of mud.
THE SHIPPING.
The almost Cimmertan darkness which had
reigned over the bay was likewise dissipated, and
the picturesque outlines Of Staten Island stood out
in bold relief BY noon yesterday the bosom Of the
bay was studded with large feet of vessels which
had arrived from various ports OF the Old and New
Worlds. For many days past the craft in question
have been unable to make the port, and the arr.
walls OF last week were mere handful.
DEPARTURE OF BEFoGGED VESSELS
At an early hour in the morning visitor stand
ing on the Battery might have seen . strange
sight--viz procession, in almost Indian file, Of
about a dozen steamers, OF all sizes, from the
small Philadelphia nteamer Benefactor, all OF which
ought to have sailed on saturday The sight was
a novel One-Of all those vessels heading for the
sea simultaneously. and passengers who arrived
on foreign steamers must have been duly I'M
pressed with the immensely OF the shipping inter-
est OF New York. The White Star steamer Baltic,
with the United States mails on board, formed one
OF the long procession.
In the afternoon the bay was covered with q
dense sea fog, which was driven in by southeast
ern breeZes, and which lasted for couple Of
hours. causing great impeachment to navigation.

During the past week the sroadltes" have en-.
joyed few days Of sleighing, but only those who
stable their horses in the uptown districts have
been enabled to take advantage OF the beautiful
