NOTES ON THE ELECTORAL BILL. The Vermont delegation is solid against the Bill. Tbe speoial friends of IlifVes are said to be opposed to tbe bill, while Tildeii's speoial frisnds suppqrt it. The vilest Radical sheets and the barest Radical politicians agree iu denouncing the electoral bill as un constitutional. Judge Black denounces the bill and still urges its unconstitutionality. Morton is equally as muoh opposed to it. Extremes meet. . The best joke is t Lie opposition of Senator Patterson to tbe electoral bill ou high moral grounds: "No rolling or due box arrangoment for oie." The bulimies men of B )ston are eagfr to signify their approval of the measure agreed npou by the joint oouiouttee for tho settlement of the PruMdential question. Gov. Morton in private conversa tion wa quite despondent, and ad mitted tuut tbe bill was very sure to pass. He, however, thougbt there would be about seventeen republican voters sgainst it, ' Ex-Governor Walker, of Virginia, shrewdfy says thai, if alt the tele graph wires could bo out for t wo or three days, so that there oould be no news from home, tho bill would not pass. But the :wiros are not out, nor will they bel " ' ji ' v Judge Black and Montgomery Blair are vory active in lobbying with thaJ House democrats against the bill. It is rather remarkable that these two gontlemen should strike hands with Morton and Sherman for a com mon object. . - Senator Bayard, in conversation with the correspondent of The Suu, said that the iustinot of the people for self presrrvntibn was what Caus ed such a unanimous sentiment ail over tho country iu favor of tho lueeeure, , .

' Grant iu a private conversation said that the bill as framud was, iu bi t opinion, fair to bota sides ; that it would undoubtedly serve to alley the terrible excitement under which tiio country had'labored eitice tbe 7th of November, and would settle the question of tbe Presidency in a mauuer satisfactory to the great ma jority of the pnople of both political parties, lie expressed his determi nation to give the bill his approval if it fhou'd pass Congress. . ... It appears to be the oouviotioh of the fi londs of the bill that it is esen tial that it should be paused in its present shape, and t enon tbey will resist any amendment.

The l ounry Debt. To the Journal. Statement of the financial condi tion oi New Huove4 county, as sub mitted to the tax payers meeting of January 22d, 1877, by tlaptain L B. Grainger, one of the Board of County Commissioners: Bonded debt about $ 35,000 Outstanding war rants audited. $.11,280.51 Aooounts to be aa -dited 8,662,60 34,952.11 . The figures in the above report are of a ohsracfer to startle aud alarm vry lax-payer' and citizen iu the oouuty. That the Board of County Comrui-iHiooers should have allowed such an immense debt to accumulate without giving-any notioe to tbe tax payers is nnsRcountable upon any tiypotbes.a. that . points to houesty. Had tlie information come from any less reliable and trustworthy source than tli- vUtement of tha oomaiitt.ee of the Board., jof Commissioners, We should have been inolined to doubt its accuMucy, for no longer since than ibe 20th day of October, 1875, the Board of -'Commissioners tbrongh their present Ohuirmau, Johu U Wagner, expressly denied upon oath that there waa any . considerable floating debt contracted stuoe 1868, and yet in January, 1877, that the floating debt amounts to the enorm ous Fiim of 834,9521111! within $47.89 uf tbe amouut of the bonded debt of the county. The figures are aostartliug, and the answer of the 0'mmissioucrs, in tbe tax-pavers iu junotiou suit, French Jc McRae vs. The County of New Hanover, as drawn by their Chairman, is bo ex plicit in its denial of the existence of a large floating debt, tbat unless the present immense debt has been con tracted since the 20th October, 1875, the dte of the verification of the answer, wo are at a loss to reconcile the statements contained in the an swer with tbe aotnal existing oondi tionof things. For the information of the public, we copy ho much of the pleadings in that suit, aa relates to this particular , matter. Abtiolb 5, Of the tax-payers oom plaint, alleged that there was a large floating debt owing by the connty, and that the expenses, "but for the fiurpose of paying debts contracted ong anterior to the year 1875, and since the adoption of the' present Constitution." To which allegation tbe defendant replied iu the following words : (Tbe italics are ours.) "Article 6, That as to the allega tion in tha fifth article of the plain tiffs complaint, the defendant, an swering, says that thedef endant does not owe any debts targe or small, contracted anterior to tbe year 1875, and inbsequont to the adoption of the Constitution, unless, it may be, suoh scattering claims aa witness and jury certificates, and other tca'tering claim, arising in tbe ordinary course of administering tha - affairs of the county, which, by reason of their not having been presented, or othir canse may still be outstanding, and to all suoh claiming, if any there be, the tax of 28 cents wai levied for their payment as part of the current, ex penses. "And that as to the whole floating debt now outstanding, that it is not greater than is usually and ordinarly subsisting, and' necessarily iooarred in the management aud conduct of the affairs of a large corporation like teat of the defendant, and that the expenses of the oonntj as adminis tered by the present Board of County Commissioners, t several thousand dollars less than the expenses of the former Board, for tbe year proceed ing the present current year. . Signed, John O. Waoneb. October 20, 1875." GENERAL NEWS SUMMARY. The Georgia Railroad Company sets a good example of refusing to deadhead editors and legislators. It is said that the heir-at-law of Lord llaoaatay bos been discovered in a venerable oitizen of Illinois, Mr. George Maoaulay; through an adver tisement in the London Times. The town of Wales, in Maine, by no means romoted from civilization, has managed to get along for fiifteon years without dootor, lawyer, minis ter, or psuper. J(..The beer question is more interest ing for the citizens of Vienna thau the Oriental qnestioa. They are much exoited because their brewers have raised the prioe of beer. A litre of the refreshing beveriga will cost two cents more henoeferth. It is not believed thi Uhe papers V f Louisiana ReturningBoard will throw'mnph light on the secret pro Ceedingj of the Board Ou manipula tion the vote. From the time these papers were demanded the Board bad opportunity to straighten its work and make its figures dd up. The Ashtabula disaster his set in ventors at work, and a Westerc en gineer presnts a plan for a pontoon bridge that will accommodate itself to tbe rise and fall of a stream with out altering tbe roadway. Floating ioe, however, will prove too much for suoh struotups. Attempts will be mde to procure the removal of General Augur, who doea not t eem to suit Mr. Packard. General Augur has been some years in oomniund intlie South! Lie un derstands the nature of tha political tricks which have lieeu played there by both parties, and the Packard Kellogg people cannot deceive hint. LOCAL HEWS.
