During the year 5,613,117 domestic money orders, amount- ing to $s1,442,364.87, were issued, and 341 amounting to $80,771,455.20, were paid. ‘The fee received by postmasters for the issue of domes- tic money orders amounted to $715,261.20. Tne Increase over the previous year in orders issue 1 is 11.S4 per cent.; In orders paid 11.49 per cent., and in amount of fees received 14.67 per cent, This inerease is mainly attributed to an im- provement in the commercial condition of the country. The net revenue from the domestic Dusiness is $202,952.37, being $103,021.18 gre iter than that of the previous year. ‘Internationa money orders issued during the year cause the aggregate of all money orders issued to amount to 5,733,905, representing $83,490,061.73, and the number paid to amount to 5,652, $52,202,298.11.

Lonisiana. c Citizens of New Orleans continue to make aff davits against the democratic election mana- Se fraudulent counting, baliot-box stuffing, destruction of votes polled, &c. The alleged ‘frauds involve the titles of the Con- gressmen from the first and second districts, as Well as of all successful candidates for city and parish offices. Massachusetts. Petitions for a recount of the vote in the sa district, in which Hon. Walbridge A. Field de- feated Hon. Benjamin Dean for Congress, were filed yesterday with the city clerk of Bo: the ground that several hundred ballo' Te counted for Field which did not belong to him. The difficulty arose from ballots having the name of Benjamin Dean for Congress dupiicated thereon. In one case the name was in large plain type and in the other in smal type, not easily read nor itkely to be noticed. One ticket had the name of Dean in small type at the bot- tom of the slip, where the printer’s name Is of- ten placed. ‘These ballots were gotten up. it is said, after legal consultation, it being well un- | derstood that if cast as presented each ballot would count but one for Dean. If Field’s name Was pasted over one of Dean’s, the paster and remaining printed name of Dean would neu- tralize each other, and the citizen who intended to vote for Field in place of Dean would lose his vote, My.

Irving Ditty, who e ha case, stated that no such notice has yet been served. He has, however, decided to serve such a notice within the thirty days prescribed, and has al- ready received some sworn testimony in regard to alleged frauds in the 17th ward and several districts of Anne Arundel county. In one of these districts he claims the election is void, as the two parties voted at different polling places. Mr. Ditty said that he had been led to decide upon the contest, as he believed the complexion of the House would insure a consideration of the case. He stated that previous to the election he had knowledge that there would be what he calls fraud in the voting, and informed Mr. Crane of the fact.
