The Times makes the New York legislature stand 16 republican on joint ballot. The New York Sun says the re publicans have a majority in the Penn sylvania senate. Evarts is non-committal on wheth er Col. Ingersoll has been offered the German mission, but the report is credited. The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says: The secret lias leaked out that the senate election committee will adopt Morton's report seating Kellogg, and the democrats will bring in a minority report in favor of Spof ford. The northern line steamer Alex. Mitchell sunk four miles below Keo kuk, Thursday. She struck a snag and went down in half an hour, the water coming two feet above the decks. All of the 75 passengers got off safely, but some 200 tons of freight was dam aged. The same boat sunk near Bur lington in August last. Pacheco's bill for the sale of tim ber lands exempts from its operations all lands containing minerals and all settlers' improvements. It also re serves all bona fide, rights already at tached under United States laws, and in regard to lands hereafter surveyed gives actual occupants prior opportu nities for purchase before offering the lands for public sale. The Sitting Bull commissioners returning to Fort Benton from Fort Walsh, took passage in Mackinac boats to make the journey down the Mis souri, had a hazardous trip on account of the impending probability that the river would freeze and pen the party in above Fort Buford. They arrived at th6 latter place, however, on the 2d inst., having completed the entire dis tance of G70 miles in 10 days. The day after their arrival the liver froze over, and from Buford to Bismarck the journey "was made overland in am bulances. The World says in New York the democrats, while they denounced the methods by which Hayes was installed, not only approved his policy, but in an address to the state committee "wisely made that approval an issue in the elections. The republicans re fused to endorse the title of their own president, paid problematical compli ment to his southern policy and vehe mently opposed his civil service reform. Moreover, the leader of the party in New York made his canvas in avowed personal hostility to the administra tion. The democrats hold the state- The New York Herald says Hayes and his republican friends are very well satisfied with the result of the election. The administration has come off a great deal better than its enemies expected, but it is claiming rather more than the facts warrant, when it lays down so broad a rule as that the success of the republican party in each state was in projortion to endorsement of President Hayes. We don't be lieve that the republicans lose much in New York or New Jersey by their shabby course towards the administra tion. .The New York and New Jer sey elections afford no special reasons for either congratulations or regrets by the administration. The republican party, however, is entitled to feel some satisfaction that its unfortunate intestine quarrel did not sensibly weaken it in either of these states. The result in Massachusetts may be fairly regarded by the friends of the president as a signal endorsement. The War in the East. Standard writers vary widely with respect to the causes and results of the war in the east. In explanation some will tell you that it is a war for the benefit of Christianity; some make equally as good arguments to prove that the acquisition of territory is at the bottom of it; others assert that it is purely of a commercial nature. That Russia desires only that she have un disputed passage through the Bosphor u sand Hellespont, to compete with other nations in the shipment of pro ductions. Russia has no mercantile marine, but is well supplied with iron clads, and if Johnny Bull was not so backward in announcing his position on the situation we might conclude that perhaps he was not afraid of those iron clads let loose. The operations of the Russians before Plevna, in Turkey, and the late fall of Erzeroum in Asia Minor, show that they do not propose to Tield to the Turks at pres ent. The United States is apparently a silent, spectator, but if the Russians carry the forts on the Bosphorus, and compel Turkey to grant them free and uninterrupted transport from the Black sea by that route, it will have an effect upon future prices of wheat in the united kingdom of Great Brit ain from the Pacific coast.

But I'll here trespass on your patience and venture to remark, and I'll back my opinion atauy time or place. thai neither of the parties, demonstrating themselves riggers, and palm themselves otf as such, possess the ability to even rig a plunger or cut a toot rope for a royal jard, tar less rig a ship. 1 make this assertion be cause lam positive ot what lsay or apeak, hav ing been both in ports of the Atlantic states, on the Pacific coast and tor a matter of ten years on the Columbia river engaged in stevedor ns my self, and consequently am pretty well posted as to the abilities ot most men in that particular branch ot business around here, having had am ple opportunities to test them all; toe parties re tcrrea to mar be able to cross top-gallant yards with pipe-stems, but never did nor never wU know iiow to cut a bet ot rigging for. or rig a ship.
