The Uuited States Supreme court
has decided that under its charter the
Union Pacific is not bound by the
postmaster generals award for car
rying mails, but is eutitled to fair re-
enumeration, not to exceed the rates
given private parties for similar
traffic. The road wanted the allow
ance based on what is charged for
expenses over their lines, but the
Supreme court refused to allow this,
because the express companies are
owned largely by parties in the rail
road management. Congress will be
urged to pass laws this winter, by
which all money earned from the
government by the subsidized roads
can be withheld in the treasury to
apply towards the interest on their
bonds. At present, the amount thus
held does not meet the interest by
over 81, 100000 per year, and the
roads are already $41, 100000 in ar
rears on this score.

THE Outlook. FOR 1884.-There
will be 401 electoral votes next year,
of which POI will be necessary to
the election of Il president of the
United States. The democracy are
sure of the solid south, which stands
for 1913 votes. The republicans, in
Guiding New Hampshire and Connec-
ticut, may fairly count on 151 votes.
The doubtful states are California, 8
electors Colorado, 3; Indiana, Is !;
Nevada, 5; New Jersey, 9; New
York, SO, and OHIO, %. In Ohio
and New York the republicans have
the best outlook to-day. II the dem
ocrats carry New York, the republic
ans would have to carry all the rest
Of these states in order to win; but
if the republicans carry New York,
they would only need to carry Ohio
or Indiana to win The fight is very
close, but not closer than it was in
1880; indeed the present outlook in
New York is quite as good as il
1880, for II ancock drew on the sol
der vote of that state as no man thC
democrats are likely to nominate il
1854 possibly can.
