The Boston Journal OF Wednesday says:
Hon. Albert Palmer was elected Mayor
yesterday not so much by the democrats
who did vote as by non-partisans and tax
payers who did not vote. At the State
election Gen. Buffers majority in the city
was counted with five figures, while the
average democratic majority was about
5000. BY the payment of several thou
sand poll taxes by the democratic man
ayers prior to the State election. the vot-
ing force of the democratic party was
largely increased in comparison with last
year. Nine-tenths of the liquor shops in
the city were recruiting stations for Mr..
Palmer and the democratic ticket. These
were great odds to fight against. And
vet, with all these favorable influences
and powerful allies. Mr.. Palmer has only
2000 plurality, while in November Mr..
Bowcrman. the democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, had $500 plurality.
Mr.. Palmer's vote is about 1000 less than
Mr.. Bowerman's. Moreover, Mr.. Palm
er's vote is less than 1000 larger than it
was last year. In 1880 the total vote for
Mayor was 1904; in 1881 40, 1888; this
year it is a little rising $4,000 These
facts show what we have stated above,
that Mr.. Palmer was elected by the alb
senteeism of taxpayers and business men.

HOUSE..

Mr.. Pound of Wisconsin, chairman of the
committee on public lands, reported back
the resolution calling on the Secretary of the
Interior for information as to whether any
lands granted by Congress to any railroad
company to aid in its construction, and to
which such company was not entitled to
patents at the time the period expired within
which such railroad was required to be COM
pleted, have patented to such company since
the expiration of that period, and by whose
authority such patents were issued. Adopted.
Mr.. Epson of Texas, offered resolution
calling on the Postmaster-G General to report
all failures to carry out or comply with the
contracts for carrying the United States mail
since January l, 1882. and the names of the
failing contractor, and fer all information on
the subject. Referred.
Mr.. Caswell of Wisconsin, moved that the
House go into committee of the whole on
the postoffice appropriation bill. Carried.
Mr.. Caswell explained the provisions of
the bill The total amount appropriated is
S63, 1895, 500, being s27 1925, 80 less than the
appropriations for the current year. For
the compensation of postmasters 50, $50 900
is appropriated, or 1854 200 less than the es-
Inmates.
Mr.. Robinson argued that the bill should
contain the appropriations which would con-
tlnue 10 TIE people tIr DeneHtS Oh the sDeclai
mail facilities.
Mr.. Anderson suggested that Massachu-
sets was getting something out of these facil-
tiles, and in reply Mr. Robinson stated that
sixteen States paid their own postal bills, and
the bills of all the rest. The first ten on the
list were the six New England and four Mid
die States. There were six more which paid
their own bills, and yet the gentleman from
Kansas said that Massachusetts, was getting
something of these special facilities. But
she should get something.
Mr.. Anderson said there seemed general
impression in that strip of country known as
New England that when God Almighty made
the bOlders up there and framed them in with
the land, and put upon that region the bright
est and bravest of the American race, he
stopped. He didn't stop. New England had
some where about four millions Of popula
ton, and he rather fancied the remaining
fifty millions of the American people were
just about as good and had just about as much
brains to the square inch as the inhabitants
of New England The inference drawn from
the valuation which New England had put
upon itself was that when the postal service
was continued special regard should be
paid to that section. If it were a mere mat
ter of dollars and cents it might be good
proposition that Massachusetts, contributing
surplus revenue, was entitled to special ad-
vantages. But the true spirit of the govern
ment was that mail facilities should be adopt
ed which would more largely serve the
largest number.
Without closing the general debate on the
bill the committee rose and the House
adjourned.

New York futures began the week with
light rise for January and March, but
small declines for active months, and to
points off for October to December, inclusive.
On Monday the depreciation of values was
more positive, and prices went off IA to Is
points Tuesday showed a sharp reaction,
recovering nearly all lost the day before, but
the following two days were again disastrous,
in which the price list was reduced in
amounts ranging from to 10 points. On
Friday, the last day, the deal showed bare
check in the decline, with to points
gained for active months. The Financial
Chronicle, OF Saturday, tells of the influences
governing in that market during the week:
"The speculation in cotton for future deliv-
cry has been much less active during the
past week An early decline was followed
by a variable and unsettled market. Some
depression toward the close of Saturday bust
ness was supplement on Monday by sharp
decline, attributed to the strike among the
spinners at Lawrence, Mass, the subsistence
Of the floods in the Mississippi valley, and
some increase in the receipts at the ports, all
of which induced many of the late buyers Tor
the advance TO become eager sellers. On
Tuesday there was some recovery, on reports
Of the renewal of rains at the South, but on
Wednesday the market was again depressed
by reports of large receipts at Bombay and
dull foreign advices. This weakness con-
tInued on Thursday under the continuation
of these reports, together with rather fuller
receipts at interior towns and indications OF
an increase in the overland movement" The
Commercial Bulletin, OF the same date, says:
Operators for a rise continue to calculate
upon decided shortage in the present crop,
delay, if not injury, TO the next planting and
a heavier and more determined demand from
consumers at an early date, bnt to a consider
able extent are compelled to support
their position on prospects, and, failing TO
attract outside aid, a comparatively lew find
it necessary to do the carrying while await
ing the turn. Their opponents on the other
hand can show a reduced call for actual cot
ton both here and abroad, with easier prices,
a liberal movement OF the India product,
little more OF our own cotton creeping out
wherever transportation commences to i'm
prove, and an increasing number OF advices
from the South tending to dissipate the idea
that the next crop will be seriously impaired
by the floods, and the moderate changes in
value have in consequence been toward
lower range" The following table indicates
the prices of futures at the close OF the wees,
compared with those ruling the same day
OF the previous week;

The &, ST L and N. o. Railroad.

R-ferring to the recent unT recedented
H. lds of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and
their tributaries, which has been attended
with such disastrous consequences TO the va
Tiou3 railroads crossing the river at this
place, We note with surprise the energy dis
played by our neighbor on the east bank Of
the river. The flood left the Chicago, ST.
Louis and New Orleans railroad with their
track heavily damaged as far south as Wick
life, with 81 miles Of embsnkment badly
washed out, all of which had to be cribbed
and piled in heavy current of water to re-
establish their communication. This has
been done promptly, and the road is again
running to East Cairo. In the meantime,
the road has carried all its freight and pas
s=nger traffic over their temporary river in
clines at Wickliffe and Fillmore. Although
their misfortunes have been great, the for
tune of good management has certainly at
tended them, for their communications have
been maintained throughout the flood, for
warding freight and passenger traffic
promptly on time without Interruption, and
the road is now ready to resume business at
their old terminus, East Cairo.
