Jay Gould ant, Senator Jones.

We have information which VIC regard
as reliable, that the resumption OF work
on the Los Angeles and Independence
railroad is exceedingly likely at an early
day. A quiet movement to strengthen
the Company financially has been TAX
ing place, and nn alliance between Sen
ator John p. Jones aud Jay Gould has
been affected. The Nevada Senator has
all along recognized the impossibility Of
any one mau building such length Of
road. bnt he has felt confident that the
merits Of tho project would attract the
attention Of capitalists. Jay Gould sees
the Union Pacific Railway threatened
with combinations which would leave
it absolutely ut the mercy Of the Central
Pacific Railway. Under the compro-
mise with Col. Scott, the Central Pacific
will hayo two routes for reaching tho
Enst, win the Union Pacific and Texas
Pacific lines, while tho Union Pacific
will haTo but ono means OF access to
the Pacific Ocean, viz. over tho line of
its riTnl the Central Pncifc. This
would leave Gould and his associates
absolutely ut the mercy Of Stanford. and
il Is predicamcnt from which they
wish to eItricate themselves.
We haVo been informed TINT Senator
Jones has retained his control OF tho
Los Angeles and Independence Railway
largely at the suggestion Of jay Gould,
and TINT arrangements have been per-
fectcd which will shortly ovcntunte in

brigade on the limo of TINT rond.-Los

leve the President OF tho disngroenble

Tho New Hampshire Election

The election in New Hampshire Tues.
day, resulted iu the choice Of Repub.
licnn Governor and two Republicans
and one Democrat to Congress. Tho
vote was lighter than in 1876. aud the
election unusually quiet. It has no siO.
nifcanco whatever except in disappoinh
ing Republicans, who hoped to elect
tho entire Congressional ticket. Tho
majority for Prescott is about the Same
as that received by Cheney, year AGO
for Governor. Jones. tho Democratic
candidate in the First District, has
about 500 majority over BIarston, Re.

LATE TELEGRAMS.

BosroH. Mar. l3.-Reports from thu
principal towns in New Hampshire n
l O'Clock. indicate nothing decisive q.
to tho result OF the election. Owing &c
the uHiaVorable weather the vote is lighI
yet. At Concord. in Wards four and
Ave, Briggs, Republican, for Congress
wns considerably behind his ticket. aud
galloway, Democrat is proportionately
ahead. At Nashua the Democrats will
probably elect the Mayor and majority
OF tho Aldermen. At Portsmouth tho
Republicans look for an increased ma
jority. At Clearmont, Kent, Democrat
for Congress, is ahead Of his ticket; also
at Keeno. Forty towns in district No.

Tho Republicans claim TO have car
ried the three districts; that Marston
will have 200 majority, Briggs 1000
and Blnir 1900. The Democrats do
not concede the first district, claiming
10 have elected Jones in all probability.
CoacoRD, March IA private dis
patch from Mr.. Jones this evening says
he will hnvo 600 majority. The Repu3-
licans will doubtless have fifty to sew
enty.five majority in the House; eight
Of the twelve Senators. and claim four
or five Councillors. The election was
unusually quiet.
