From South America,

PANAMA, Aug. 2S. Tho elections on Aug.
18th 10 Bogota were accompanied by serious
disorders Tho State government wished to
control the elections. They only established
four polling places in city Of $4,000 inhsbi-
tauts, aud put those under tho control of their
own people. The adhercnts of the party could
not get near tho ballot boxes to deposit their
votes. Confusion and disorder naturally arose
IS party spirit was very much excited. The
State troops posted themselves 10 the towers Of
the neighboring churches and fred upon the
crowd, killing one or two and wounding several.
This broke up the election, and as all the votes
cast arc in favor of tho State governments
party, they have fully succeeded in carrying
the day, unless Congress should order new
election. At latest dates all was quiet.
Hon. Ernest Dickman, u. S. Minister to the
United States Of Colombia, sailed en- route for
Bogota on the Goth inst.

1t now seems probable that the solid radical
Congressional delegation from Vermont has
been broken, aud that Mr. Barlow, who ran
against the regular republican Domiuee, aad
vas supported by the greenbackess, has been
elected. Upon the principle that the devil
must be fought with fire some people will be
grati6ed at this result, but as little can be cx-
peotsd from the conservatism OF Vermont, and
as the greenback policy would be prejudicla! to
all parts Of the country, hut especially to the
South, which could i'll afford to have its pro.
ducts paid for in Deprecated currency, VIC

There can be no doubt that the expenses Of
the government, under the control OF demo
cratic House of Representatives, have been
curtailed to the extent OF many millions yearly
from one hundred and sc7eniy.on millions IN
1875 to ono hundred and thirty four in 1875
yet the democratic party will not receive credit
for such curalmeut as long as tho gentlemen
it sends to Congress continue to force the tax
payers Of the country to pay them fifty live
dollars and q hall, dsy, besides mileage and
pelquisitcs, for their services-the amount they
receive for the short, and twenty, seven dollars
day for the loug, session. When Congressional
debates We're worth reading, those who took
part 10 them lived comfortably on eight dollars
day, and had money to risk at faro at night,
and though The Superior qualifications Of their
SUCCESSORS may be worth more, that they have
put the Increase at TOO high figure not one Of
their constituents cn1ertalns doubt, especially
when be takes into consideration the fact that
the expenses Of living in Washington ire no
greater now than they were then.
