Special Correspondence n 7As Tribune.
RocKronp, I'll, Nov. 23.-Lcssons can often
be learned by looking over the official returns
after a hotty-contcstcd election. Tho official
returns Of tile Fourth District are uncommonly
interesting figures Just now They point out In
unlnfstakablc language tho earnest desire for
Clvll-ScrvIca Reform which exists among
the people, aud show tho determination on
the part Of tho voters to cast their bul-
lots for man whom they know
to bo honest, and who was pledged not
to use Federal Offices to promote his intcreata
at county conventions ind town canc1tscs. For
the, first time since tic days OF Waahburne, tho
Fourth District will be represented hy man
who Ia absolutely untramtncled by single
pledge, and who goes to Washington fully de-
tcrmtncd to carry out his principles at all
hazards. In 1872, only four years ago, this snme
Mr.. Lathrop. was laughed ut by thc machine

him tic Maretgo delegation, aad thereby have

The business on tic railroads leaifng from
this city has greatly fallen oil during tho Inst
fcw weeks, and thcro Is hardly line which Is
not losing money now, at tho present low rates
on freight aud passengers. During tho past
summer the traffic was unusually large So
much freight has been going forward that none
Of tho roads could Ret all the'cars wanted, and
tho passengers camc forward with such d rush
that q few lines had often nno tu twclYu olcop-.
era attached, md had to use two engines, and
In sumo instances trains had TO bo divided up
and run = H. sectos But rsno ow all this Hs
and the freight traffic Las fallen OF

But since business has ngain assumed Its or
