JACKSON. Nov. The election yester-
day was very quiet. There was no oppos:-
ton to the democratic state ticket. In q
few counties the attempt was made to elect
independents, but with the exception o.
Marshall county. where the independents
elect the entire ticket, the attempt was I'M
successful. Ex Gov. Brown, who run for
senator from the llth district, was beaten
by upwards OF 600 majority. A very small
vote was polled. One precinct. near Jack
son, which generally votes over 500, polled
only % votes.

The Railroad Decision.

The abstract of the decision Of the Su-
p7eme Court of this State, on the Central
Vermont Railroad petition, elsewhere given,
covers the more important points decided.
The court, it will be noticed, does rot adopt
Judge Polind's idea of a perpetual receiver
ship Il goes further and holds that there
has been no receivership since 1864, since
when almost all the important mat
tiers in dispute have come up. The receiver
ship, the court decides, was then changed
into business management, under the
agreement Of the parties in the litigation !;
the orders Of the Court of Chancery being
merely an naturalization of the business
The decision makes the Vermont and Canada
stock, with the million of trust debt guaran-
teei BY the Vermont and Canada, the lead
ing security. The rest of the bonded debt
rests on the security taken in the beginning,
the unsecured debt standing as general
claim. The natural effect of the decision, it
would seem, must be to bring about fair
compromise between all the Interests, under
which the various classes of securities shall
each take its relative, legal and equitable
position, and corresponding share in the
earnings

New YORK, Nov. 6.-The Tribune estl-

LlCANS.
NEw YORK, Nov, There is little varia-
tion in the details Of the election returns,
this morning, from those telegraphed last
night. The Albany Argus says New York
state has gone democratic by twenty thou
sand majority. while the Tribune and
World allow only $1,000 majority. The
Times says the democrats have carried the
state ticket, but the republicans have ma
| jOrity in both branches of the legislature
| The Herald says the republicans have car
red the assembly with probable tie in the
Senate The importance OF the political
complexion of the legislature arises from the
fact that United States senator will be
chosen by it, and the re-ap9ortionment of
the state is to be determined by 1t.
