The footings OF the Massachusetts vote
are: Long l22, Gil, Butler los, 7S6, Adams
0,925, Eddy LASS; a falling of from last
year Of IL, los in the Republican vote, Gao
in Buffers, 2S7 in the Faneuil Hall total,
and 42S in the Prohibitory vote. Longs
plurality is 1881.
WADE HAMPTON is already counseling
the South Carolina brethren to be pru-
dent in the next State campaign, for the
eyes of the North are on the South, and
especially on South Carolina. It is a
healthy sign that the South begins to re-
alize that the conduct Of its home affairs
are Of importance to the rest of tho Union.
IT is worth nothing, now that rumors of
tariff revision by Congress reappears, that
the House Committee on Ways and Means
stands eight TO five in favor OF revenue re-
form.
IN view Of the renewed floating talk at
Washington that the Legislatures OF
Florida and Louisiana may take the cleo
ton Of Presidential Electors into their
own hands, Democrats will DO apt to re-
member thatthe New York Legislature is
Republican before counseling any such
step for partisan reasons.
CoSELlNG's candidate was worse scratch
cd in proportion to the vote in the county
where Conkling Is best known, Oneida,
than in any otherin tho State.
The following information is taken from
New York letter to tho Indianapolis
journal:
Ibelieve The Democratic party will again
nominate Union General. Ii is clearly
their cue. Without such pretentious
plume in their cap they cannot keep their
struggling army together. 1t seems at
this moment as II Hancock were likely
to be their man. His undoubted skill and
bravery as q soldier, his high respecta-
bility as a civilian, his thoroughly Demo-
cratic administration OF affairs in New Or
leans, and his large circle OF personal
friends in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
New York, all point to him as the coming
man.
However, there are lions in his way,
too.

Newspapers should do less advertising
OF other States. Tho inexplicable exam
Pile set by the Wheeling INrELLIGENcER in
one OF its issues last week OF giving rail-
road project in Ohio gratuitous adyer-
Using (?) should not be initiated by any
other patriotic newspaper. That paper
devotes nearly one.half OF a column to the
endorsement OF an enterprise for rail-
road from Bellaire to Marietta, and to a
summons for the people Of West Virginia
living along the Ohio river between those
two points TO come forward and help the
enterprise. The benefit Of such aroad TO the
people Of this State would be but second
hand, 10 to speak; it would only result
after the people Of Ohio had received the
primary benefit. This, it seems to us,
ought TO be apparent to any one OF ordin-
airy intelligence. Again, the building
Of such road by the aid OF West Virginia
citizens would postpone the building Of a
similar road on this side Of the Ohio river,
for at least fifty years. In the best OF
temper, but in plainness otspeeCh, we are
constrained to say that the attitude Of the
lSTELLIGENCER is most indefensible. Is
there more identity OF interest between
the people OF Ohio and that paper, than
betweenit and the people OF this State?
It has that appearance.
We publish the above as q matter OF
nsIrS to our readers, and not because there
is the slightest foundation in truth for it.
We should like to sec the article referred
to, and We request the Star to send us a
copy. We have published articles from
our Ohio exchanges TO show that there
was an interest taken in u railroad down
the river on that side, supposiDg, as mat
ter Of course, that our people on this side
desire to be kept informed on the general
subject Of river railroad. Our own ad-
vocacy has been on behalf Of railroad
down this side OF the river, and up to Il
day or two past the INTELLlGEScER has, so
far as We have noticed, been about the
only paper that has manifested any decid-
ed and persistent interest in the project.
Two years ago We took up suggestion
dropped by Captain Mcclure on behalf Of
this project, and wrote the matter into
some prominence both hero and at points
below, at that time, but the good seed
then sown did not bear fruit Lately we
have revived the matter, and the present
steps toward something practical arc due
10 the revival Of the matter in these
columns.
All thismay sound little egotistic to
the Star, butas long as that paper has
. placed US in false position in reference
to this matter we arc entitled to state the
facts OF the case.

BUsMEss at the railroad depots in this
city was seldom ever 80 crowded as at this
time. The Baltimore and Ohio tracks are
really In an embarrassed condition, and
the same Is true OF the p, W. 4 Ky. road.
It Is with difficulty that deliveries to the
various manufacturing and mercantile
establishments Of the city are made with
even tolerable satisfaction. Sixty car loads
of freight came in on the r., W. & Ky.
yesterday, and sixty more will be in to.
day. The railroad men say that they
really have more Of the "boom" hero than
they can properly dispose Of. While they
like to be busy they would be greatly
pleased to have more elbow room. As
showing how extensive is the railroad
business done at Wheeling We may
mention the fact the Baltimore and Ohio
roid alone shipped 5000 kegs Of nails
from this point to the West in the month
Of October. When to this is added the pig
iron, ore, coke, limestone, cinder and
lumber brought to the city for the mills,
furnaces, and dealers, saying nothing Of
miscellaneous merchandise, some idea
can be had Of the business at this point.

that the upward tendency OF the market
will continue. Since January of the
present year there has been an average
increase in real estate value OF 10 per

The Boston Transcript, in speaking Of
real estate in that city, says:
The lIarbor and Land Commissioners
disposed OF 100000 worth Of the com.
monwealth's lands upon the Back Bay
last week, and about 100000 worth tho
first day OF the present week, when they
advanced their price twenty-five cents per
square foot. Compared with the prices OF
year ago, there has been an advance OF
81 per foot for the commonwealth Back
Bay property.
Since Monday tho Commissioners have
sold about soc, 900 worth more Of the Back
Bay lands, and have also increased the
selling price for the remaining lots TWEEN.

in the price for the present week fifty
cents per foot. The highest price the
Commissioners realized for land upon the

within a few days the Commissioners
have disposed Of a lot upon Common.

There are building on Commonwealth
avenue between Arlington street and
West Chester Park, twenty-five buildings,
valued at SOL, 900, and plans are prepared
for eight more, valued ut about sos, 900.
On Marlborough street, twenty houses are
being built, valued at about $500, 900, aud
on Newbury street eight houses, valued at
about SIZE, 900. This shows that over one
million dollars will soon be added TO the
taxable valuation Of the city in that sec

SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE.

HALIFAX, N. s., Oct. 81, 1879.
Early this morning messenger arrived at Pctou
from Cariboo Island with the news that the
body of q man had boon washed ashore
near the lighthouse there, and schooner supposed
to be about sixty tons. was half mile
from shore bottom up. The schooner was
first seen early Monday morning, but
SO violent storm prevailed yesterday all day
that no one attempted to board her. Coroner
Matheson. of Pictou, arrived at Cariboo Island
this afternoon. by which time two
more bodies had been found and the
schooner had drifted near the beach
that men were able to reach her on foot.
Nothing found on any of the bodies
by which they could be identified. One
body is described that of man
apparently about sixty years of age,
ther stout second appeared TO have
been q about thirty years old, with
whskers and mustache of sandy color.
The other body appeared to be that of delicate
boy. large quantity OF bark and about hum
drod pieces of pine board had drtcd ashore.
The vessel lies deeply imbedded in the
sand that name be seen. 1t is
supposed that she was struck by suuall Saturday
night and upset. 1t is feared that the schooner was
from Lunenburg. N. s., for Prince Edward Island,
In which her crew would not probably number
fewer than six persons.
