THE APPROACHING MARRIAGE OF SENATOR Jonzs.—The San Francisco Chronicle has the following in reference to the approaching mar- riage of United States Senator Jones, of Ni ia: **Miss Sullivan, the bride, is the daugh- ter of the well-known capitalist, Eugene L. ivan, late chairman of the republican state central committee of California, and now on the staff of Goversor Newton Booth. She is well fitted by education, culture, onal charms, and ‘true feminine accomplishments for the elevated station to which she will soon be called. She is about twenty years of age, in style of beauty demi-branette, slender and graceful of figure, and though quiet and unas- ming in manner, sufficient the exigencies of good soci She is mach beloved by her friends and a general favorite ong & large circle of acquaintances. She is sister of Mrs. Dr. Bushnell, with whom she is at present residing. The wedding will be pri- vate and select. The bridal dress is from Paris, and is costly, elegant and elaborate. ‘I'he wed- ding will take place some time during the lat- ter partof this month. Soon after the event the Senator and his wife will leave for Wash- ington.” THE PosTwasTeR GengRat’s Rerort.— Postmaster General Jewell is now engaged in the preparation of his annual report. It has been stated that Le is opposed to the proposed postal epee egeerge ‘This assertion is pre- mature, as he has not determined what position be will take on the subject. ‘The system has succeeded in other countries, and it might be made successful here, but there are circum- stances, he thinks, which make the acquisition of established lines a matter of doubtful wis- dom, and the construction of new ones would be unadvisable. As to the subject of postal savings banks the Postmaster (icneral does not seem to favor such an aggressive movement on the banking and fnaucial institutions of the people. These subjects will not, it is likely, be treated inthe report. The receipts and expenditures and internal administration of the department will be considered at length. The Postmaster General is evidently amazed at the seven mil- lien he ogg tuts year—the expenditure of thirty-two millions againat recetpts of twenty- ve millions. He will recommend either re- trenchment in expenses or an increase in post- age. He thinks there are extravagancies in many branches, which be will endeavor to sag- gest remedies for. The Postmaster General, it should be understood, does not advocate high tates of postage. He does not believe in at- tempting @ revenue from this source, but he does think that it is poor py for the eat to make upsuch large deiiciencies. fa reduction of expenses will cover the excess this would be preferred, but as the cost of trans- portation is constantly going up, it cannot be seen how much ald can be expected from that quarter.

The official vote for Congressmen is not yet received from any district, bat there is no reason to doubt the entire delegation will be democratic. The Philadelphia Press of yesterday says “The whole democratic state ticket is lected by an aveiage majority of nearly 6,000, and that party will have at least23 majority in the legis- latere om joint ballot, whicn is close enough to satisfy all reason le expectations until the of- ficial returns are all filed in the oillce of the secretary of the commonwealth.”” Very nearly complete returns of the late elec tion in Minnesota show the republican state ticket to be elected by 5.000 majority. In the 22d district the result is still uncertain. Straight (republican candidate for Congress) has so tar 207 majority, and ts probably elected, but it is possib'e subsequent returns may defeat him and elect E. St. John Cox. The legislature is republicen by 27 von joint ballot, but in this count are included several indepeadent re- publicans and anti- monopoliats, whose yotes are uncertain. THB VICE-PRESIDENT ON TAH ELECTIONS. — Vice-President Wilson gives the New York Tri bune his viewson the republican defeat, and says the result shows the necessity for a lberal and msgnauimons policy. With statesmen for republican leaders he believes the party will re- cover itseif two years hence. He believes the democrats will by their blundering po tribute to that end. As to the era: lefeats he said thousands of republicans did not vote or voted against the party to check someot ts tendencies, and if the party adopt a pradent, iberal and lofty course it will sweep tue cou tryagain. Among the other causes were the dissatisfaction ot the unemployed, who had iost work from the eilecte of the panic; the burden of the Louisiana matter, (and he dou’t think either party right in Louisians,) and the third- term question, He does not believe @ third term candidate could carry any of the Northera and out few of the southern state: Conression oF TAR OU Fort. oINNAT: MvEpEs.—Young Egner has made a full oon- ‘ession, implicating bimeelf, his father and George Ruter in the murder of Herman Schel- \ing,in a Cincinnati tannery.

His spectroscope, moreover, was not the common one; it had @ recond priem in front of the slit through which the light passes, whereby he obtained a solar image similar to hat given by ordinary telescopes, with all tho spots and the limb both of the san and moon. ‘he eclipse commenced at Rome at 10:14:41, and | ended at 12:40:11 9.—Galignant’s Messenger, Oct ith.
