A Few Figures.

THouGH the official count of the
vote cast at the election held in
this state on the 9TH inst, will not
be till Tomorrow, yet enough is
known to predicate a few state-
ments relative to the results OF the
vote, and comparison with pre-
.xious elections in this state.
In 1873, Whiteaker, the Demo
cratic candidate for congress, had
1,15l majority. The total vote of
: the state that year was $4,000.
In June, 1880, George, the Re-
, publican congressional candidate,
received a majority of 1897, out
OF total vote of $4,000. This
:. showed an increase in two years of
5000 votes, and Republican in
crease of 2,548 votes out of that
:. 5000. In the presidential cleo
:; ton of November 1880, there
were 40,S23 votes cast, this was a
large vote, but presidential cleo
tious are famous for the alert style
in which the franchises are brought
:. out and enumerated. The Repubi-
cans carried the state by G64 ma
jority, showing an apparent loss
of 733 votes in four months. In
the same ratio OF increase that was
exhibited between June 1873, and
November 1880, the total number
of votes cast at the last election
should have been at least $4,000.
But there were only 10000 votes
cast on the 9TH inst, being 800
votes less than two years ago,
though fifteen counties in the state
show a gain, Multnomah county
polling $3.50 votes in June 1882,
against 5,039 in June 1880. The
only inference is that the outlying
districts take more interest in
presidential elections than any
other.
In Clatsop county, the vote has
exhibited. some fluctuations. In
'7S we Rolled l,056 votes, giving a
Democratic majority of Is. In
the June election Of 1880 but 994
votes we're cast, with Republican
majority of As; in the November
election of that year $40 votes
were poIled, the Republican ma
jority for Garfield being 102
Twenty days ago there were 1,206
votes cast in this county, an in
crease of 236 votes in nineteen
: months, the county giving George
F., &c majority. That gentleman's
vote seems something phenomenal
In rs Whiteaker beat Hines ,l51;
in 'S2 George beat Whitaker
3,29S, a. difference in four years
of 1879 votes. Probably on a
square Issue the state would be
found to be Republican by about
1000 majority. 8

LoANING MONEY TO CLERKS.
Action OF Secretary FoIGer-Creditors and
CIcriEa.

The abuses which have sprung up in connection
with the system of lending money to Government
clerks are more extensive than any one has any
idea Of Secretary FOger has determined to put II
stop TO the custom which has prevailed of the dis
bursting clerks in the Department acting as Il sort
of an agent for the broker lie has no idea that he
will be able to put stop to the habit on the part
of the clerks of borrowing money As long as
there are clerks the borrowing system will flourish
1t is chronic complaint with the Government
clerk TO be short some days before the monthly pay
day. But the brokers take no chances, and when
clerk comes TO them for money they tell him
that they will lend him money providing he
secures the initials to the due bill of either the
chief of his division or the disbursing clerk. In
the Treasury Department the exclusive employ
ment of an ST. 500 clerk has been for some time TO
TAKE CHARGE OF THE FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS
between clerks and the brokers. Some brokers
lend as high as 5000 each month to Government
employees. While 1t is not the intcn-
ton OF Secretary Folgcr to countcnance any
longer this lending system he does not propose To
aid clerks in avoiding the payment of their Just
dues. The other day creditor of n clerk came TO
the appointment clerk and complained that he
could not get o bill settled. He was asked ii he
wanted the clerk discharged. lie said that he did
not, as In that event he would lose his money
He was then told that the Department would not
collect his bill for him, but If he had any com
plant to make against the clerk IL would receive
system of borrowing money can be stopped, but by
taking away the security from the broker of the
sanction of the higher officials II will be more diff
hcult for the clerks to effect loans.

BANK CHECKS AND BILLS.
Oyer.CcrtiGcation-A Just Reason fo
Alarm.


There is just reason TO be alarmed at the in
crease in the evil of over certifcation by those
banks in the City Of New York who deal largely
with brokers engaged in stock speculations. I'm
der the present law of Congress every national
bank indulgcs in the practice Of over Gertifcation
at the risk of losing its charter .0nd being thrown
into the hands OF q receiver. The bill introduced
by Senator Beck, Of Kentucky, TO punish by fine
and imprisonment cashiers of every bank who
over-certify checks is calculated to strike at the
root Of this evil, and If passed will probably
root 1t out entirely. Some steps TO put stop to
this practice are certainly needed. over.cer.
tiiicaton at the present time by some
banks is daily more than ten times
their capital and In case of panic or money strin-
gency might be accompanied by most disastrous
consequences. II Is Il question which also con-
Germs stockholders of banks, who, under the ma
onal law, liable, beside the loss of their own
stock TO an amount equal to the same, Is there
not sufficient ability among the governing COM
mittee of the New York Stock Exchange to sug-
gest a remedy against this acknowledged eYil
which imperils In many respects the financial
prosperity of the country Over-certihcaton Of
checks is utterly unknown i'll London, or In the
great financial centres OF the world except New
York. The wisdom of our prominent men en-
gagged In this business should he able to meet This
emergency and provide against it.-Ncto York
