$4,000 Libel Suit.

ST. PAUL, January 5.-The libel suit
for $4,000 damages, which has attracted
much attention from the people and poll
ticians of the State, was terminated to-day
in the Court Of Common Pleas. During
tho recent canvass Mr.. Pfaender, State
Treasurer elect, sued Wm. s. Hunter, the
present Deputy State Treasurer, for libel,
in asserting that Pfaender had been in
league with Emil Munich, former de.
faulting Treasurer, and hid and received
money from the State Treasury through
Munchin 10, knowingit have beenS State
money, for refraining from being candi-
date for Treasurer in opposition to
Munich. Tho damages were laid at $780,
900. The jury after short absence from
Court gave verdict for the defendant,
Pfaender's friends are much astonished at
the result. 1t Is understood that Piaen-
der is ready with the requisite bondsmen

In the list OF Democratic States 1t will
be noticed that every Southern State is
given to that party, except South Caro-.
lima, and in the Republican list Colorado,
which will be admitted this year before
the election, is added. The tables then
stand: Republican 164, Democratic 1872
total electoral vote $40, Of which 1856
votes are required TO elect. The Repub-
licans lack % and the Democrats 81. To
secure these it is very evident that the
latter must have New York, for with that
State and two or three others on the
doubtful list, the required number can be
obtained, without even the 15 electoral
votes OF Indiana. But il New Jersey
and Connecticut are lost, Indiana, New
York and California must be saved 10 win
the day. In any event the State OF New
York must be kept within the Democrat
ic column il the party wins, and will nee
essarily be the center of the Presiden-
tial battle ground. On her borders will
be the contest over New Jersey and
Connecticut, while in the West and
on the Pacific Slope, Indiana, Califor-
mia and Oregon will be the scene OF an
animated conflict. This view of the
situation, with New York almost hang
ing in the balance, gives Governor Til
den's supporters claim for his nomina-
ton, for without that State it must be
confessed, especially in the West and
South, that he has very little political
strength. The conduct Of his party
friends in New York city last fall lost the
party their control there, and added to the
course he has pursued in affairs without
the city, nearly lostit the State. With a
strong feeling against him among some Of
the Democratic leaders in New York, and
with the Legislature in the hands Of the
Republicans, it is by no means certain
that he could save the State. II the Re-
publicans carry New York, Of which they
are now very confident, they secure more
than the ODD electoral votes which they
need to elect President. Foreign COM
plications, the failure OF the new House
Of Representatives to meet the expecta-
tions OF the country, and other formida-
bic events may change the present situa-
ton; but in the present light the tables US
we have given them seem TO be acceptable
to good judges in both parties.

Army Reduction.

DETROIT, January 5.-The Detroit
Post tomorrow morning will contain q
report Of along interview with General
Morrow on the proposed reduction Ofthe
army. The General thinks that to. re-
duce the army much below its present
strength would end in detriment to the
service. 1t would leave some OF the ter
ritories undeiended, and would by leay-
ing the mines unprotected largely reduc'
ed the production Of the precious metals.
He thinks that with the present force the
cost Of transportation could be reduced
to one-half and other expenses somewhat
cut down,
