The New York World estimates that
Grant will have 800, 600 majority of the
popular vote of the United States. This out
of about 1000 600 votes is asmall majority
showing that Greeley received nineteen votes
to every twenty thrown for Grant, or that it
one voter more out of each forty had voted
for Greeley, he and Grant would have stood a
tie on the popular vote. "A change of seven
votes in Auburn and the same proportionate
gain in the balance of the country would
leave Gre ley and Grant a tie before the peo-
pie. In this view of The case our defeat is a
mere scratch. The dispatches all agree in
saying Greeley gained on the country vote,
while Grant, gain. all came from the slr.ns
of the cities where his thieves were enabled
to purchase the lowest creatures of God Is
creation TO vote for him. A large majority
Of the nnbought and unintimidated voters of
the United States are to-day against Grant
and his corruption crew. This fact Is dem
onstratablc by the very telegams that pro-
claim his election. Such being in brief the

ADVANCE IN FLoUR.-The price OF
flour has greatly advanced lately, the fact
being very perceptiblc in the reduced size
of bakers leaves. When flour was sell
ing at forty per cent. less than it now
commands in this market, bakers did not
make any reduction in the price Of their
bread, but quietly reaped the solid benefits
arising, but are not at all backward now in
changing their weights and prices to suit
the tiuctuation. But as flour is again de-
clining, and, owing to the near approach of
harvest, IS likely to continue to decline for
time, we shall see if our bakers exhibit
any sensitiveness to this;fact.

In case recently heard before the Supreme
Court Of Maine Gardiner firm sued the Western
Union Telegraph Company for 5000 damages re.
sailing from an error IN the transmission of a
messags. The firm had sent an order to Chicago
for 10000 bushels Of corn. The message as deliv.
cred reduced the order to 1000 bushels. Before
the mistake was corrected, corn had advanced ten
cents bushel, and the firm claimed damages to
the amount Of the increased cost Of the grain
At the close Of the testimony the Judge intimated
that be should instruct the jury that the telegraph
company was liable for damages, notwithstanding
the terms Of the contract set forth in the printed
blanks provided by the company; whereupon, by
consent of counsel, the case was Withdrawn and
rsSsired back to the lower court for decision upon
question Of law and the assessment Of damages,

The election returns continue to pour in upon
~ in almost one unbroken stream in favor OF The
Radical candidates. This 10 not confined to Grant
and Wilson only. But through the whole coun-
try We find it to be the case ON all parts Of the
tickets presented to be voted. When the great
mistake was made at Baltimore by the Democratic
party, and to which the Delaware Delegation put
forth all its power to prevent. it was said in favor
Of the adoption Of the Cincinnati candidates that
through that course the Democracy would be able
to elect majority Of the Congressman and carry
the legislative tickets in the various States, thus
securing the choice Of United States SENATOR.
This expectation has not been realized. On the con-
trary the result has been as disastrous to the DEM
o,rats in this particular as in that of the Presi-
dental candidates. On the Democratic party
prior to that nomination the hopes of the country
seemed to rest.


As an organization it was more powerful in all
the States than it had been since 1861, and harmo-
ny seemed to pervade its ranks, while the Radical
party was much divided. We had therefore q fair
6eld for making powerful effort, under favorable
circumstances to elevate to the Chief Magistracy
gentleman whose principles were well known to
be in accord with those of the great party that
had SO long and go stoutly contended against HAD
icalism. Had such man been put before the peo-
pie by the Baltimore Convention We have no
doubt the result would have proved much more
favorable.


There is little to be gained now by refer ring to
the circumstances connected with the attempt to
transfer the votes Of great party to candidates
who were not Of its ranks. But the result OF the
IL. 49, Al. ~. .f,,11,
complished and the wisdom Of the wise men at
Baltimore wha predicted such Tremendous majori-
ties for Messrs Greeley and Brown in Missouri
and New York, have seen all too late how difficult
tits to assume the position Of prognostcators where
the votes Of the people are relied upon to make
good their predictions.

The Ruler OF Monaco and HIS Bride
-Breyity OF Welded Bliss-At.


tempt 10 Wrest u Princeiing From


His Mother.


During the last two days Florence
has been the theatre of q romantic
domestic drama, which would present
sufficient interest in itself even if the
dramatis persona belonged to far less
elevated class of society. The youthful
Duchess Mary Victoria, of Hamilton
-she is only 2l-granddaugbter OF the
Grand Duchess Stephanie. of Baden,
was married to the Hereditary Prince
of Monaco in 1869, and, after an un-
happy union of several months. left
her husband and Monaco.sopra.lo-
Scoglio, to take refuge with her mother
at Baden-Baden, where, during the
summer of 1870, she gave birth to a
son. Her husband spent part of the
following summerin Germany, without,
however, making the slightest attempt
to see his wife and child.


Scarcely had the Princess arrived in
Florence for short stay, few days
ago, when, the day before yesterday, the
police suddenly presented themselves at
an early hour in the morning, provided
with an order from the President OF the
Florentine tribunal, which authorized
them to take possession of the child and
restore it to its future dominions and the
arms Of its disconsoate father. The
despair and terror of the young mother
may easily be conceived. She instantly
applied to her cousin, the Grand Ouch
ess Olga of Russia, now on visit with
her husband to the Grand Duchess
Marie at Quarto. These two young
ladies took an attitude ct once so de.
termined and so firm that they put the
poor bewildered emissaries Of Floren-
tine justice completely out of counte-
nance, and they were compelled to de-
part without having fulfilled their
mission, and to apply for further in-
+Struction.


They followed the advice, and their
counsel Immediately laid the affair be-
fore the High Court of Appeal, which
was to have pronounced sentence yes
terday. This lett time to allow his in
fantile Highness to escape from the
hands OF the nurses appointed by the
Prince, his father, to take care of him
and bring him back to the paternal
roof. However, the court appears to
have found the case more complicated
than the President Of the Tribunal, for
it has not yet been able to come to any
decision, and the question still remains
open whether the judges OF Monaco
have or have not the right to take the
child from its mother forcibly through
the means OF the Italian police. What
is certain is, that, whatever may be the
legal rights of the Prince Of Monaco,
his conduct in the matter is greatly
censured here.

At two O'Clock to-day, the wharf gave
way under the large ware house of Stone
Il Burnett, plunging the house and all
its valuable contents into the Bay, n to-
tai wreck and almost total loss. The
ware house was filled nearly to its utmost
capacity, with valuable goods for tibet
fall and winter trade, having but just
completed the reception of the large car
go of the bark Edward James, which was
lying at the wharf.


Provldentially no lives were lost, the
men employed in the ware house not
having returned from their dinners.
William Kenworthy, the only person
upon the wharf at the time, had inst
driven under the shed team and large
truck belonging TO Robert Russell, and
at the moment of the fall, saved his life
by tremendous leap free from the fall
ing timbers. The horses We're knocke
down, but the truck sustained the fallen
roof of the shed until horses and truck
were rescued without material damage,


In the hustle and confusion attending
the catastrophe, it is impossible to ar
rive at an Approximate amount of the
damages. The principal sufferers by
this calamity are the euterprislng and
universally respected firm of Stone l.
Burnett, in whose loss every citizen of
the town feels himself a personal suf-
ferer. The results of the labor, enter
prise and intelligent thrift of years are
swept from them in n moment; but they
have the Inherent energy and well earn
ed credit which will make the calamity
of short duration. Immediately after
the fall, we saw Mr.. Stone actively en-
gagged in rescuin9 the horses from the
wreck, apparently unsubdued and un-
excited by his own far greater loss.-
Such pluck cannot be subjugated by re-
verses.-DaiiN, Sd.

"To supply deficiency of life by fOrmularies

But there is one law which will always prevail in

The same kind of fight has been waged over the
narochial organization throughout the country.
There are about 500 Protestant parishes in
France. The Liberals moved that where one
third desired separation of parishes, with
separate Council of Presbytery, they should be
allowed to have it. This was carried against
them. Where the parish contains more than
500 members, the Council of Presbyters is to
consist of seven, who choose the pastor, who be-
comes their President. The Left moved that he
be elected by universal suffrage, but the ex-
perience of this form of election has answered so
i'll in France politically that it was put aside
without hesitation. They then proposed the
English idea OF representation by minorities, but
this was equally unsuccessful and the Left have
really not managed to carry single point. The
functions of the Council of Presbyters were
finally decided to be to administer the parish,
watch over the due celebration of public worship,
the maintenance Of the Liturgy aud of discipline,
the administration of Church property, and the
distribution of aims. As, however, it will be
seen that the members who compose this Coun-
ell need not have subscribed the profession of
faith, it seems somewhat dangerous, considering
the very strong objections to it which a large
of them hold, to intrust to them these
functions. For instance if any of
them agree with NJ. Gaufres that the documents
embodying dogma should be consigned to the
