Tho senate Adjourned.

The extra session Of the United States
Senate, adjourned on Saturday, without
confirming Repudiator Stratham as q
postmaster in the Old Dominion.
1t is claimed by tho Democrats that
tho only object in attempting to force a
confirmation OF Stritham, was to Sc
cure the vote Of the Readjuster clement
to the Republican party. The Demo.
Gratis in the Senate would not permit
the manufacture OF such cheap capi.
tai, however. aud the method by which
tho "only patriot in Virginia" can sue
coed to n postoflice in that State will be
through arbitrary appointment by the
President. That the question of the
appointment OF particular person to n
pitiful postmastership, should have
occasioned the only sustained opposi-
tion on the part OF the Democrats, dur
ing the session, would indicate that in
this connection there is something far
deeper than the nero postlnastership,
and seems to justify the assertion that
the appointment is for tho sole purpose
OF influencing the election in Virginia.

The German Elections.

BERLIN, October 29.-From the re-
suits of the elections already known it
may be broadly said that the urban
population has pretty well pronounced
against Bismarck's economic policy, but
reports from the rural districts, which
have not yet been received, may turn
the tide. The victory Of the Progress
sionists of Berlin is complete, although
the Conservatives have gained much
ground here since the last general cleo
ton, which is significant. A fact
brought out by the election is the great
and decided increase in the strength of
the Social Democracy, not so much by
the members returned as by the num-

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The Herald
says Of the recent voyage Of the Mae
milan, from Antwerp to San Diego,
California: The route taken by the
Captain Gray is certainly novel fer a
vessel bound from the English Channel
to California ports, but the experiment
suggests an important problem for nav
igators when making the Winter pass
age. The distance from England to
California by the Cape of Good Hope
is far more than by Cape Horn. But
the perils of the Cape Horn passage and
the notorious uncertainties and attend
ant delays may, upon mature reinvesti-
CATION, max the route recently tried
by Gray preferable for sailing ships, at
least in the season of Winter. BY the
Cape Harm route every mile of longi-
tude the ship makes about 100 degrees
before reaching our Pacific COAST, eX-
cept while crossing the trade inds belt,
she must make in the face of adverse
westerly winds; whereas by the eastern
route these winds are almot ceaselessly
in her favor throughout the voyage, as
the speed made by the Macmillan on
miles per day. illustrated.

The SpeakershiG.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The Speak
ership of the next House looms up as
the most important event of the near
future. The candidates who have been
mentioned are numerous, but Hiscock
of New York, Keiffer of Ohio, and kas-
son of Iowa seem to be the most prom
inent, with Messrs. Burrows of Michi-
gan. Dunnell Of Minnesota, Read of
Maine and others as probable dark
horses. For a time Hiscock was be-
lieved to have more positive strength
than either of the others, but it is sug-
gested that recent political events and
promotions may, and probably will, af-
feet his prospects injuriously. New
York now has two Cabinet officers,
Messrs. Folser and James, and those
who are competitors Of Hiscock for the
Speakership make the point that to
give that Office to the Empire State
would be unfair to ether States-that
it would be giving New York decidedly
the lions share of official hOnOrS and
patronage. Western members of the
House and Western politicians are in
sisting with more. earnestness than
hitherto that the Speaker should be a
Western man. They maintain that
this would to considerable extent
equalize the honers between the sec
tions, and are appealing to Eastern men
to view the matter IN this light. This
appeal is not without effect, and it is
said that Hiscock himself appreciates
the disadvantage he is laboring under
by reason of the advancement of several
New York men. Of the Western can
didates it is claimed that kasson leads
the race, but General Keiffer is said to
have considerable support.

From all accounts, the situa ton in
New York city is very grave one on
account of the scarcity of her water
supply. By the most rigid economy in
the use of that article the supply cannot
hold out much beyond two weeks, it is
thought, unless very heavy rains should
come The fact that bathing has been
temporarily abandoned does not involve
any serious inconvenience to a large
portion of the population, perhaps, as
additions had already been suspended
for the Winter. 1t would seem, how
ever, that if the present scarcity should
continue fer any length Of time it must
involve widespread sickness and a
marked, if not extraordinary, increase
in the death-rate. 1t is said that wells,
long abandoned, are being cleansed in
case the Croton supply gives out alto
gether. The city Of Brooklyn is not
much better off, her supply also failing
rapidly these days. The drouth is un-
precedented.

THE JEANETTE

The New York Herald contain.
another full page of Arctic correspond
ence, on which it editoralizes as fol-
lows: Professor Muir thinks that the
Jeanette pushed directly North
through the long lane of open water ex'
tending at least 100 miles southwark
from Herald Island. looking like an
open river between the banks of ice
which was frozen to the shallow bottom.
The stream which flows through this
opening off the East coast of Wrangel
Land il said to be northerly, at the rate
of about two knots an hour, and clearly
indicates an opening further North,
whence millions of young geese come.
Swedish reports confirm this view OF
the opening, and it is highly probable
that the Jannette saw it and pushed as
far northward as possible, which would
fully account for the Corwin's failure to
discover any trace of the Jeanette on
the southeast coast of Wrangel Land,
where alone she made any search.
General Boulanger, French guest,
captured Buffalo Bill" a notorious
criminal, in his room at his hotel Thurs
day night, in Philadelphia, and de-
tanned him with his sword until the
police arrived. The Grand Jury at
once found true bill against him and
he was tried, convicted and sentenced
to three years imprisonment.
No doubt the distinguished General
will return to his country with an ex-
allied opinion of the manner in which
law-breakers are dealt with in America,
and the oft-repeated assertion that our
criminal courts are but partially such
in name, will find no Judgment in his
mind. But the speedy administering
of justice in the above case was proper.
Caught in the act. the time given for
arraignment and trial was opportune.
Were there more of the spirit which
actuated the officials in the above case
the commission Of crime would be les
sened and taxation reduced according
ly. The evidence which convicted
"Buffalo Bill'' was no stronger than is
presented in other cases Of daily occur
renee.
