Municipal Indebtedness.
he New York GrDphic saye:


The Public of last week gave the statis-
tics of indebtedness Of sixtv.fOur munich
pali,ies in 1870 and 1875. The tables are
prepared with care but are not quite COM
plete, but they bring out the startling and
alarming fact that while in 1870 the debts
of these cities amounted to $278 100000. in
1856 they had increased to $640, ,800, 900.
This ia an increase of l30 per cent in five
or six years, aud shows the fearful rapidity
with which we are drifting toward munich
pal bankruptcy. The increase of indebt-
edness is partly due to the initiation of the
currency and the general extravaganza OF
the times. 1t ia still more largely caused
BY the greed of officials, who tlch money
from the public by undertaking works OF
public Improvement which ottentimes are
upueeded, and sometimes q mere ste of
peoples earnings. In many cases the
money has gone into architectural mon
strosities which are monuments of folly
and extravaganza. The evil calls for i'm.
mediate check, and the only sure preven-
tive for the future is in an act Of legislation
that shall forbid any municipality from
contracting debt for any purpose beyond
a stated percentage of its valuation. Two
or three States have already embodied this
principal in their constitutions, and all
should do sO The burden of taxation in this
city. which has an actual debt above the
resources of its siukiug fund of over $780,
OOO. 900, is cne of the causes Of the deprecia-
ton of its real estate, its slow growth, and
its uncertain future.

The Alabama Election.
MOBILE, August The election passed
off without any distdrbsnce. This county
gives over 500 Democratic majority. The
returns from the State, 80 far as heard. iu
eicate large Democratic gains. The Demo-
crafs claim the State by $4,000 majority.
The returns show Democratic gains
every where. Enough has been received to
warrant the statement that the Democratic
majority will be 10000. Many counties,
heretofore Republican, send Democrats to
the Legislature, and the majority on joint
ballot will be very large. The vote by
Congressional districts show seven of them
Democratic and one Republican. As tar
as heard from there has not been disturb
ance of any kind in the State. The utmost
good feeling prevailed everywhere.
Election returns indicate q sweeping
Democratic victory. Houston's majority
for Governor will not be less than 10000,
and will probably go much higher. The
Democrats have made gains everywhere
heard from, and will have large majority
in the Legislature.

AeSSASsSeSs
Acting Governor Antoine has returned
the following answer to the committee of
the Property Holders Union who recently
tried to enlist him in aid of their tax-resist-
obligation to obey this law and the interests
of the State above the convenience of pri-
vate parties who have, under one pretext
or another, managed to evade the collector
and the sheriff. The coupon holders, the
unpaid teachers, judges, State officers and
other credit rrs of the State are entitled to
the money which the tax resisters endeavor
to hold back, and it would ba little better
than official misfee .sncs for the Governor
and Auditor to permit neglect of duty to
go or any logger:
