THE ELECTIONS.

The results of Tuesdays elections
may be briefly summed up as follows:
New York-Democratic majority OF.
Is, 600 on State ticket Senate Re-
publican, House claimed by both par
ties. Morrissey beat Schell for State
Senator by 5000 majority.
Pennsylvania-De by 5000
to $4,000 majority. The Democrats
gain about $4,000 over last year.
New Jersey-State aud Legislature
Democratic. McClellan's majority for
Governor is near 1900.
Observation-Disclosures by ID
600, a considerable gain over the slim
majority of 1876; Legislature Repub-
lican by increased majority. y
Observation-Disclosures Republic
can, as before. No State officers were
balloted for, but the compiled vote
for Sheriffs of the various counties
shows 1900 Republican majority.
Wisconsin-Republican majority On
State ticket 5000; Legislature Repub-
lican. So 80
Kansas and Minnesota give de-
creased Republican majorities. -
Maryland went heavily Democratic,
and Virginia and Mississippi ioyer-
whelmingly so, there being no.oppoA
sition in the two latter States !; their
Legislatures are almost unanimously
Democratic. asHsfa 't

nrArHERS, SALARIES,

The school teachers of Plaquemlnes par
ish receive, the frst-class $40 per month
and the second $50. Of course, these ex-s
frayagant salaries will command the SER

Delta.
In Ascension still greater economy
is practiced in the remuneration OF
those who instruct the rising genera
ton in the public schools. Here a
principal teacher receives only $3.50
per month and assistants something
less. The average order of talent Sc
cured is, of course, not what would
be required in schools of higher grade,
but it seems to answer present needs,
and no difficulty is experienced in
finding teachers at the meagre saia-
ries offered. Some ofthose employed
are capable of giving instruction in
much more advanced grades than will
be attained in our schools for some
wears to come, and in these instances
particularly the compensation seems
niggardly in connection with the
nature of the services rendered aud
the talent of the employee.

CONGRESS-.

Another week of Congressional
proceedings affords little that is wor-
thy of special mention. The introduce
ton Of bills continues with undated
vigor, but their consideration is as
yet confined to the committee rooms.
There is a single exception to this
rule in the case of the army deficiency
bill, which was reported to the Honse
on Thursday and is now under debate
in that body. 1t provides for %, 900
men for the first four months of the
year, and 10000 for the remaining
eight months. The Republicans, as
sisted by the Texas delegation, are
warmly opposing the bill, because it
reduces the army, aud an interesting
light over the measure is in progress.
The Senate is even duller than the
House. All eyes-are taEned upon the
Committee of Privileges and Elec-
tons, in anticipation of their report
upon the Louisiana and South Caro-
lima contests. Special dispatches to
the New Orleans Times of yesterday
announce that the Republican mem
beers of the committee have agreed to
submit report favorable to Kellogg.
