The result of the election in the State
has been a sort Of: Waterloo affair. As is
the case in all elections where the vote is
light, oar opponents are generally IN the
ascendant and carry of the palm of victory.
The popular majority at tins time, is more
likely to go over than fall below 2O.OVO
The estimates that show this, are made up
in part from portions of the State to be
heard from definitely, where they were

not for all practical purposes. It is large
enough to suit any ordinary Democratic
taste or ambition, and so far as the Re
publicans are concerned it is certainly dis
couraging enough to urge upon them all
the meekness and humility that could be
required by their most heartless opponents.
Beside this majority on the, popular vote,
the Legislature has been lost also. The
hgures of the democratic cOmmittee-the
Republicans seem to have no stomach for

of Cleopatra's needles to New York. The

the matter and has expressed his entire will
give TO the United States one of
these relics of the. past, if arrangements can.
be made, in regard to the transportation.
The eontraetorsiwh are now transporting

one to New York and erect it upon any site
