New York Central Hudson has declined sincs the Syndicate sa.e to 13C-3l. The Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific stocks have settled back to the prices-9A to 96, and if the consolidation holds good, and each stock pays the sime dividend they should apparently rule at about the figure. It is impossible to form any opinion to the real value of the recent acquisition to the Louisville ahvile road but the strong point of the purchase is in the circumstsncs that the company assumes but small obligation, and the transaction is far different in eff feet from most of the Pennsylvania Railroad Ieases The coal stocks havs not Eeen very strcng, and the main business to day was in Delaware, Lackawanna Western.

RfcYclfsts vs. Horses.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-A number of wealthy residents of this city are making arrangements for somewhat novel sporting event. It is proposed to have David Stanton, Waller and Phillips, the English long-distance bicyclists, compete against thirty running horses for six days. The horses are to be ridden by John Murphy and William E. Weeks, well known trainers and drivers, and Peralto. the mustang rider. Waller and Phillips, who are now in London, were telegraphed for on Thursday night, and will be in this city in two or three weeks. Both men have great six days rec ords. Stanton has ridden one thousand miles in seventy-three hours. Their aggregate scores will amount to about 1, 500 miles. The horses, if the stock is of good quality, when ridden in relays of ten miles, can very easily travel this distance. Whether their riders can hold out for six days is at present mooted question. The race will begin at Madison Avenue Garden on March l.

Mr.. Hills dealing might be closed.
Some discussion followed on the
reading of this letter, revealing the
curious fact that nobody knew to
whom the sea side lots at West
End really belonged, or how Mr..
Hill had become entitled to the land
now to be formally exchanged. The
Chairman thought that, as the trans
action was SO far back as 1859, it
might be difficult to withhold consent
to its being completed ; but he did
not understand it. The President
thought that the lots belonged to the
owners OF the opposite houses. Nh.
Faber thought not, for he had bought
one Of the opposite lots, but did not
find that he was the owner of the sea
lot. The President gave up his lately
expressedview as probably erroneous.
Mr. Latimer thought q committee
should be appointed, but it wouldbe
hard TO turn eff the coopers' shops es-
tablished along the wharf, as the
merchants would find it difficult, to
find an equally suitable place for
them.
M. Fleming thought the whole
matter should be carefully sifted.
Capt. Willard had always considered
the lots in question as Government
property. He knew that permission
had to be got from the Police office
to land cargo there. He thought the
coopers' shop could we'll be placed
elsewhere. The discussion ended by
Nh. Latimer proposing, and Mr.. Faber
seconding, the appointment Of a COM
mittoo Of three; and Judge Petersen,
Mr.. Latimer and Mr.. Faber were
chosen.

members as a committee to report

upon them.
The Committee retired, and after
about twenty minutes consultation
returned, and advised that the consi-
deration of the matter should be
postponed.
M. Faber thought it should be
postponed. The question was one
of some importance, and the decision
in regard to this case might consider
ably influence future elections. He
would give a few words of explana-
ton in regard to his minority vote at
the Electoral Board. He interpreted
the clause Of : IS to mean that the
elector must have resided six months
within the district where he gives his
vote, but not necessarily the last six
months. The gentleman whose vote
had on the occasion in question been
refused had resided for several years
in the district, although not for the
last few months. He had therefore
all the local knowledge which the
clause was no doubt meant to secure
in the voter. Managers of estates,
who frequently nov from place to
place, would seldom be able to exer-
else their right to vote if this course
were followed. He thought also that
there was no precedent for refusing
the vote of a man whose name was on
the voting list. He would also say
that it was not good to put too many
restrictions on the electors. The
necessity, except in the case Of proper
ty owners, for recording theright every
year was already a very serious re-
striction, and it was desirable to
remove this rather than add others.
Judge Jurs quoted from sections
IS, 81, 23, and q Of the Colonial
Law, and concluded from comparing
the various clauses hat the principle
of the law was that we must abide by
the elective lists. If any exception
is to be made it must be quite clear
that the Colonial Law makes such
exception, and the law gives no hint
that a man must lose his right if one of
the conditions should fall away after
the right has been recorded. This of
course, might lead to unpleasant con
sequences, as for instance in case of
man becoming a bankrupt, or say
even committing theft in the interval.
Still he thought the vote could not
be refused. He had come to the
Council quite clear that the protest
should be accepted, but the declara-
ton since put in made it appear hat
the disputed vote would not have
influenced the result, and he would
therefore wish to give the matter fur
tner consideration.
Dr.. Kalmer had given much consi-
dsration to the matter, and did not
agree with the view that the six
months residence might be at
time previous to the election. After
reading from the Colonial Law
the various conditions under which
an elector gets his right, he point
/, ed out that these had no restricting
clause; but when we come to the
siA months residence the condition
was narrowed by the words ain
which ne soioaums at the time of the
election" In the case in question the
gentleman did not at all "soiourn"

If i announce in n telegram from Sim
In of tbe 1Oth inst. that General Donald
Stewart has received orders to retlrc from
Cabul. at the earliest moment consistent
with the health of the troops. The eva
cuation will be completed by the 3lst
October. and dit is believed that Gunda-
muck and S~huturgardun Pass will be the
extreme points remaining in British occu-
n~at;on.n This is the Indian idea, but 1t IS
evident from the memorandum leaG oy
sLord Harrington on Monday to the House
of Commons that tho Government mas ue-
cided on a stronger %linesof policy than TINS;
that Eastern Afghanistan will be aoan-
doned altogether, that the Treaty Oh Uun-
damuck is considered cancelled by events,
and that the only doubt remaining is VINE
ther we are or are not bound to retain
Candahar. That depends upon engage
ments not made public, which OF course
must be observed, but VIZ believe the new
.Waliu Of Candahar will not be eager TO
demand a British garrison, and will prefer
TO he dependent upon Cabul, more espee-
cially if Yakoob Khan, the neau oi MS
elan. is reinstated there. According 10
the correspondent Of the Times, tins mas
again become possible, and as soon as
Lord Lytton has departed, it will be tound
more possible still. Lord Lytton had pos
sessed himself of all the sources OF the M
formation sent to England, and WIN

anu miSHJ leave the district say III
March, and therefore before the
electoral period began, SO that for the
whole electoral year he might not
reside a single day in the district, and
yet he would be entitled to a vote.
Further on comparing ) 10 we find
in the Danish text, that it exempts
men eligible to serve as Members of
Council from the condition of having
fast Bop@l in the district, that is from
beingsdomiciled there, clearly showing
the intention of the law that the cleo
tor must be domiciled there. He had
taken the trouble to go through the
Councils proceedings, and he found
that when this law was under discus
sion in May 1868, the Bird Grown
Member (the present Vice Governor)
had said that he could not understand
why the voter must reside one year
in the district, and Governor Birch
replied that it was necessary, to pre-
vent removals into a district shortly
before an election in order to get a
title to vote there. At a subsequent
meeting the Governor, moved there
to by the said 3rd Member, brought
in an amendment by which the peri
cd of one year was altered to six
months as 1t now stands. 1t seemed
to him therefore, and he hoped he had
been able to convince some others, that
the intention of the law was to place
this restriction on tho voter. He
would only add further that it is
Parliamentary usage not to lay any
great stress on a protest concerning a
matter not affecting the result of the
election, and in this case the declara-
ton shews that the result would not
have been otherwise if a different
course had been taken.
Mr. Il. L0tjmey thought the cues
ton was short and plain, and that the
last speaker had woven q web Of
mystery around it. Managers of
estates are slow enough already
to record their right to vote,
and they will not do it at all if
they find so many difficulties in
their way. lie would propose to
appoint a committee OF five. Captain
Willard seconded the proposal,
which was agreed to with II votes.
Later in the Meeting were elect
ed Rosenstand, Hattenscn, Latimer,
Willard and Kalmcr.
In the same meeting the draft of
ordinance fer the delivery, in case of
emergency, Of riding and draft ami
mails for the military force, was read
a second time and passed to third
discussion. Two amendments were
agreed to, n by Dir Brown altering
the minimum fine from $50 to $40;
the other by Judge Rosenstond, provi-
ding that disputed claims shall be

The Magic Lantern in Court.

During the recent trial of will case
in Philadelphia, it became necessary
to show the difference between a gem
uine signature and an imitation or
forgery of the same. For this pur-
pose, a powerful rejecting magic lam
tern was brought into court. The
room was darkened, and images of the
two signatures, enormously magni-
fled, were thrown side by side upon a
screen before the judge and the jury.
The false signature was at once re-
vealed. In the ordinary magic lantern
the object to be shown on the screen is
photographed or painted on slide
glass, and the light passes through the
screen. In the rejecting lantern, the
light is thrown against the face of the
object itself, and rs the reflected rays
from the object appear on the screen,
Il stronger light is required for the re-
1lecting lantern than for the ordinary
instrument. In the case mentioned,
the Illumination Of the writing was af-
fected by two powerful calcium lights
within the lantern. A watch placed
i'm the instrument and reflected on Il
finely ground glass screen, leads the
spectator to believe that he has sud-
denly come in contact with the city
hall clock. The pores of the skin on
the cheek or hand are shown with un-
pleasantly magnfied faithfulness, and
to see the face of your dearest friend
through the megascope almost moves
you to tears, under the false impress
sion that he has been riddled with bull
| lets. A piece of writing, which to the
naked eye, or even under a stronger
magnifying glass, appeared as if each
letter was made with simply one stroke
of the pen, on being placed in the Ian
tcrc was easily detected. The work OF
the skilled penman in "painting' the
letters was laid bare. The ragged
edger where the shading began and
ended were as plain rs were the letters
themselves. Defects in the paper,
though even so slight, by erasure OF
otherwise, and even the texture of the
paper itself, were presented as clear as
sunlight.
