NnvYmiK November It. The result In
the lentil senatorial district is still in doubt.
The election is very serious. This is u de-
feat lor Tammany which has doubtfully
helii lis own wherever it ran on the indepen-
dent ticket. The election or JlolliiiH.
republican fir surrogate is an overwhelm-
ing dcleut Air Taimiiany. Hardy demo-

counted iii tli seventh district by nearly

district bv a small majority .mid Fitzgerald
county dcmocralio nonunee ncic.iicu opm-
ala.ih'e Tamninny candidate. by a very small
majority and the election of JleXeon
for district attorney is regarded as-
nii aiiti-Taniinanv victory they having
nominated the first knowing that the.
sjnunty democrats had intended to do so.
New Yoiik November P. The orld
rlin itf.niner.Ltin state ticket is elected
bv thirty thousand inaioritv. anil also
rhiinis the deinoe ratio inaioritv in both
branches of the legislature as follows : Sen
ate 17 democrats 15 republicans; assem-
bly tiS democrats On republicans. The
Sun's estimate is that the state is demo-
cratic by ten thousand majority. Eighteen
democratic senators are elected and four-
teen republican senators are elected.
Sixty-seven ilemoi ratio assemblymen and
lil republican assemblymen are elected.
The Times this morning says an unusually
light vote was polled in this state yesterday
outside of the large cities Jieturns thus
far received show that the republiean state
ticket with the exception of Ilusted for
state treasurer is elected by a small mu-
jority of probably not more than mx or
seven thousand. The .result as regards the
legislature is in doubt. The latest returns
indicate that the senate is a
tie and the assembly stands
fi.ri republicans to Ki democrats.
The. election of Tulgutt Gibus republican
caxdnlato for the senate in this city is
doubtful but accounted lor as successful in
the above estimate.
New Yohk November 0. The Herald
this morning says the election in New York
und other states yesterday will be thus
brie II y summed up": There was no disorder
liere 'although much subdued excitement
existed in congressional and senatorial
districts. The state is somewhat in doubt
owing to imperfect returns but the latest
indications are that the dmnocrats
have a small majotity the

the republicans securing seven and Tam-
many only three. The indications are that

Washington D. C November 12. Tho
annual report or tho commissary general or
subsistence and inspector general or the
army has been submitted to the secretary
or war. The commissary general says the
resources and expenditures or subsistence
ior tho department for the past year and
the balance remaining unexpended on June
3p 1881 are set forth by the commissary
general und various statistics connected
with tho monetary transactions of tho de-
partment are g.lo-f!lyun by him. Attention
is directed "to the clause in tho appropria
tion laws requiring tho ten per centum to
be charged the officers and enlisted men hi
excess of tho original cost-price to
cover all subsistence stores sold them and
legislation is recommended by which sales
will hereafter bo made to olliccrs and en-
listed men at cost prices. Tho issues of
subsistence by the department to Indians
(luring the past year are tubulated in the
report and legislation is suggested which
will not leave the subsistence bureau of the
war department subject to contribution for
the maintenance of tho Indians when even
the appropriations for the Indian bureau
become for any reason exhausted. The
out-come of tho discussion or tho sufficiency
or rations by the officers who have given
great attention to the subject seems to in-
dicate a sufficiency at present of rations.
On tho whole a reorganization and increase
of the force or the civil employes in the
office of the commissary general is recom
mended and tho services of tho enlisted
men in a clerical capacity arc recommended
to be disnensed wit!:
nth.

New YoitK. November 10. Tho World's
legislative tablo makes the senate: demo
crats 17; republican 15; assemby 07 dem-
ocrats 61 republicans und claims the elec
tion of the state officers by a majority
ranging from 2000 on Purcell's to over 10
000 on Maxwell for state treasurer. Tho
Tribune from advices thus far received es
timates Carr's majority at 700 and tho sen
ate it thinks will stand 17 democrats to l.'i
republicans and the assembly (JO democrats
to 02 republicans. It says neither party
has elected the entire state ticket so fur as
incomplete returnshow. Carr republican
for secretary of state runs ahead or
his ticket in nearly every county and is
probubly elected by about 4000 plurality
over Purcell. Maxwell democrat for treas
urer defeated Ilusted. republican by an
estimated majority of 10.0.H) to 1.1000. Tho
figures aro insufficient nn the rest of the
state ticket to indicate the result und each
party claims tho election of its ticket by
2000. The official vote will be necessary to
determine the result and the majority will
probably be only u lew Hundred
either way. The democrats have
carried the legislature by S or lo on joint
ballot. The senate will stand 17 democratic
to 13 republicans imd tho assembly will
probably be composiavof (JO democrats and
(JO republicans. UijoT two doubtful dis
tricts nuve not been heard irom but they
will not wipu out tho maioritv even ir con
ceded to the republicans. Messrs. Kkinner
and Wadsworth 'republicans for congress
to succeed nenators .Miller und Luphum. ure
elected.
Aliianv. N. Y.. November 10. The
Evening Journal claims the election of the
republican state ticket with the exception
of Ilusted lor treasurer bv from 10000 to
12i00 majority. It gives the state senate
to the democrats bv two maioritv and the
assembly by two or thr?e majority.

CAPT. JUNK l'EAK.
Ittillroad Constriietloii In Moxlno Un dcr
American AuHplcIos
C'nptuiu Juno Teak formerly in
command of u company ol rangers
which? did such efficient servico on tho
northwestern frontier of this state arrived
In tho city yesterday morning direct from
the City of Mexico where for the past year
or so he has held tho responsible position
of superintendent or stock and trains ol the
Mexican Central road now building
rrom tho City of Mexico to
El Taso a distonco of some
one thousand Tour hundred miles. One hun-
dred and fifty miles of the road is now ope-
rating northwest from the City of Mexico
which has been built wif bin the past year.
Tho line is graded to Leon three hundred
miles out and the iron will bo laid and
trains running .to that point by the first of
February 1S.S2 where it will form a junc
tion with Us cross-lme running Irom Tatn-
pico on tho gulf of Mexico
to San Bias on tho I'a-
cific coast. The length of the lino of tho
lauipico road is some 000 miles. The Mexi
can Central and lumpico roads have at
work on their lines the enormous force or
21000 men composed or Mexicans and In
dians una the wont is being superintended
by Americans who constitute tho directing
force on tho roads. Tho 'laborers of the
grading force get thirty-ono cents
per day.and those of the track-
laying force fifty cents per day.
Laptain l'eaK stated turther that the
Mexican Central road traverses a fine min
eral country with stretchoa of fertile lands.
He also stated that tho Americans und
Mexicans hud very false ideas of
one another based upon a sus-
picion of personal honesty but
his experience und observation confirmed
him in the averment that life und property
were us safe in that portion of tho sister re-
public as in tho soi-desant law-abiding
and God-fearingscction of our Union. Dur-
ing his stay in Mexico Captain Peak pros-
pered financially and returns to his home
to enjoy the fruits of his lubers
and frugality nmong the friends or his
youth. Lenvimr tho city of Vera Cruz on
Monday last he reached this city yester-
day morning. His sojourn in the laud ot
prononnciamentoes has added health to his
already robust constitution und while
tanned the captain is the picture of health.
jus nrotner -Hat is on the .viexieun na-
tional railroad now boin.; constructed from
the city of the Montezinnus to Zannillo in
tho capacity of superintendent of stock und
purchasing agent. Captain l'eak will re-
turn in about ten days his furlough being
limited.

cific. A meeting of the directory had been
called to meet at the company's office in

tions to travel they were deluyed and

It is uudcrstoo I there will be some changes
mnde in the local officers of tho road. The

capital stock of the Chicago Texas it Mexi-
can Central railway company now being
75.000 shares ot the par value of $100 each
is insufficient to construct and operate its
road and that it is desirable to increase
the same from 75000 shares or $7500000 to
luG.OoO shares or to $100 10000 the total
amount being $20000 per mile therefore
be it
Itesolved That a meeting of the stock-
holders be and the same is hereby culled to
be held at the office of the company at'
Dallas Texas on the 23d day of January
1K.K2. to consider tho proposition of increas
ing its capital stock rrom $14000 to $200oO
per mile in accordance with the
preamble hereto and to issue in-
come bonds ir desirable and that
the secretary be and he is hereby instructed
to give legal notice to each stockholder of
the time and place and purpose of said

THE EAST LINE.
Auothor Ilallrond for Dallas.
Itoliable news through trustworthy gen
tlemen is at hand to the effect that beyond
any doubt Dallas will how get the Kast Lino
& Ked River railroad already constructed
rom Jefferson to Greenville. At a recent
meeting of tho directory in Jell'erson tho
attorneys of tho road were instructed to
prepare an amendment to the charter of the
road to bring it to this city. This elves
Dallas a competing line even in the narrow
gauge system anil will contribute largely
toward making Dallas the great railroad
center of the state. The Fast Line t Bed
ltiver railroad is altogether a homo enter-
prise having been inaugurated byjetl'er-
son capiumsis una .nr. uoiini having re-
cently purchased a controlling interest in
it. it is but reasonable to suppose that ho in-
tends to make it available in
furthering his grand ' southwest-
ern system of roads and to do this or
course it must come lo Dallas where evi-
dently ire centering the various railroad
of the state. But a few days ago the Dallas
fc Northwitern railroad was chartered to
penetrate tho vast I'un Handle region of tho
state nnd now conies the Kast Line which
must have an outlet. So must the Texas it
Ht. Louis the Tcxus Trunk und the Chicn-
go Texas it Mexican Central hnve outlets
beyond our city nl! of which when com-
pleted will givo Dallas eleven or twelve '
rouds leading out from her limits. Capital-
ists seeing these ndvuntuges arc beginning
to pour into our city und invest their
means und in tho near future will realize
the rich reward or their toil.

Nothing definite or reliable has yet been

disappeared from his home in Kast Dallas
about ten days ago. A colored woman liv-

Mr. Tilden's praetico of conversing with
his friends in whispers is nothing more
than one or the piccnuliuii- he tuh.es to pre-
serve his strength. Mr. Tilden bus a pleas-
ant Voice and plenty of it when he chooses
to use it; hut it bus long been his belief
thut to a mnn so busy with other men us ho
has been the almost continuous use of the
vocal organs was one of tho most fatiguing
of practices lie therefore uc. pi i red the
habit 01 talking in a very low voice or
even in a whisper. Thero is undoubtedly
a good deal of truth id his theory but be
bus carried it to such a length as to include
it among his old bachelor fussiness
and crochets of which lie has a great num-
ber. For instance he has long been noted
among bis acquaintances for Itis antipathy
to umbrellas and canes. He never carries
either article. He has been heard to say
that if he gets his list or his coat wet he
had rather threw them away and procure
new wearing apparel than to be liothercd
with an umbrella. Another peculiarity of
his (to descend to the miiititet of triviali-
ties) is that to every new pair of trousers he
has pair of suspenders firmly sewed
and thus avoids a good deal of
bother with buttons. All great men
have their little weaknesses and
the peculiar weakness of Mr. Tilden
may be said to be in the direction of
clothes ale has a pood manv of the Eng-
lish ideas on Ibe subject of dress arid like
the aristocratic sprigs abroad who array
themselves in sil or seven dilii rent suits "a
day redressing fur every meal d. inning one
sort of conventional attire for the hunt
another for the seaside etc. Mr. Tilden has
vivid Jiot ions ottbe apnpriiteii-s of his
apparel for the varying duties of the day.
Latterly however he has not been so pcru-
pulotis'in this regard as he used to be bef.-re
overtaken by the feebleness ot old aire. Dut
he has always been one of the bet patrons
of the tai'or in New York. 1 was shown

verv fashionable op-town tailor for ITl.
and Mr. Tilden's name appeared in them
