The national, impertal mourning in honor of the memory of Admiral Tegethoff atill continues. The Emperor's government is in receipt of tele- grams of condolence from the European Cabinets, and to-day Mr, Jay, Minister of the United States to the Court of Vienna, received by cable a despatch from President Grant expressing ‘‘deep regret at the painful toss to Austria’ by the death of the dis- Unguished commander, THE NEW JERSEY ELECTIONS, Complete election returns in Jersey City show the Tepublicans carried ten out of the twelve aldermen, The Second district alone*returned two democrats, Reardon and Joyce, the former a member of the late Board of Aldermen and one of tho very few independent and thoroughly honest representatives put forward of late years in his district. He voted against the salary to Aldermen, the Hackensack dock purchase and every other swindle or corrupe job proposed in the Common Council. The Tepub- licans will have matters all their own way for a year atleast. The positive inaction and indiderence of the democracy is without a precedent. At @ late hour last night the counting tn the poll- ing booths in Roboken was completed. Contrary to general expectation, the independent candidate, ¥, Schmersahl, has been elected Mayor by about fifty majority. Michael merpay 1s elected Water Banaras F. E. Rowald, City Clerk; William H. Childs, Treasurer; A. Krollman, Coliector of Reve- nue; Jacob L. Odell, Assessor; J. H. Riddenhors Water Commiss.oner—all — democrats, except Schmersahl and Odell. The Common Council, the Chosen Freeholders and School Trustees are demo- cratic. The tickets were split throughout, and unusual excitement prevailed. Neither the Tepub- Ucans nor democrats adhere any longer to the usages of party in Hoboken, The democracy of New Brunswick induige in the wildest denght at their victory at the charter elec- tion on Tuesday, Last year the republicans elected their entire tcket, meluding all the Aldermen, bya Majority of 506, This year the democracy have car- ned the Mayor, by flity-three majority, and two Aldermen. In tie First ward Oram. 1s elected over Hubburd, the present incumbent, by a majority of Seventy-seven, and in the Sixth ward Buzzee {s elected over Strong, one of the most popular republicans in the city, by a majority or 103. It Was the Sixth ward which roiled up the majority that electea Mayor @ouover. Janeway, the pre- sent Mayor and de‘eated candidate, is’ & popular physician and a man whom the republicans ex- |° pected to elect by 350 majority. Mayor Conover is a boss tailor, and very popular with the Working- men. ‘The Ranway democrats, too, are extremely jubl- lant at the first square victory they have had in ten years, William Irving Brown, the democratic candi- date for Mayor, was elected, and four out of the five members of the Conncil elected are democrats. The democratic freenolders elecjed are 4. Frank Crowey and A. J. Ritter. The election in Marrison passed off quiet:y, al- though considerable interest was manifested in the result, and late at night, when it was ascertained that Messrs. Coogan and Higgins (both democrats) had received au cqual number of votes for the office of chosen freeholder, the excitement grew intense, and tt was feared for a time that the irlen as of both parties would be drawn intoa fight, but happily such an event was avoided, The “peopie’s” or independent ticket was elected 1a Kearny township, Hudson County, as follows:— Chosen Freeholder, Jolin Boyd, Jr.; Assessor, Francis L. Bragaw; Township Gommittee, John Jerolamen, Joseph L. Hewes, Boyd, Jr., Stephen k. Henry Boan, Francts Newbold; Judges of Election, Caleb Ball; Clerk of A. H. Schuyler, J. F.

WILKRSBARRR, Apri! 11, 1871. Order may be said to reign once more on the Lacka- wanna. The great scare is passing away and the people generally begin to sce that they have been, toa great extent, unduly excited. There is more hope of 9 satisfactory adjustment of difMiculties, and the community takes along breath of rollef, satis- fled that the danger apprehended has been turned aside, at least for thepresent. The umpreasiop now is that something tangible will come out of _ THE NEGOTIATIONS \ ‘which commenced vetween the miners and the com- paniés yesterday. At all events, a step in the right direction has been taken at last, and it is posstbie that @ satisfactory arrangement may be made within a few days, The tone of the miners’ meet- ing yesterday was pacific ana conciliatory, but there will be no break among them such as some eanguine people here imagine. From numerous conversations with them at and after the meeting I am induced to believe that they aro little disposed to accapt anything but a basis arrangement, and still Jess jnclined to oon athe jag ee Boneme proposed by Mr. Gowah, wh as récenily beech prominently brought to their attention in this re- gion. They seem to be afraid of falltag into a trap, ‘and it will require great persuasive powers to Soy vince them to the contrary. ‘This feeling was ex- hibited at the miners’ meciing, when tt was pro- posed to go to work aud trust to arbitration after- wards, Tho resolution was merely intended as a feeler of the temper of the men; and the manner tn which it was voted down clearly indicated how Jealously the plan was regarded. In a few words tho present situation may be stated. The events Of tné past week have been of a character to turn the attention of the country more strongly to this question than ever. Both parties to tne con- troversy about wages how desire vo strengthen themselves in public opinion, and hence there is a strong probability that NOTHING PRECIPITATE WILE, RR INDULGED IN by either. The negotiations will be cautious and slow, and the whole subject must receive a consider- ation more thorough than it would otherwise have had. Allis yet provability, and it would be preia- ture to predict as to results, Under the ci stances it will be injudictous to indulge in specu! tion, aud I therefore abstain from giving publicity to matters which might have a tendency to mar the progressing efforts to restore harmony between capt- tal and labor. The miners have become general readers of the HERALD, and itis gratifying to hear how warmly the course of the paper 1s appreciated DF them. As an cvidence of the condition of the city t subjoin the following qgtract from one of the city papers of this mornin Since the cessation of hostilities on Friday night last there has been no violeat demonstrat on againat the persons or pro- pert, y cttizen, and amid the intense excitement that prevails, and the thousand exaggeratea rumora that are in Continual circulation, the best of order prevails among all classes, noteven our civil authorities having avy unusual amount of criminal business on hand. Your contemporary still clings to the idea that there nas been occasion lor “excitement; but tac is probably excusable under:the circumstances, ‘There has been an immense scare, and it is natural that those who were mostly frightened should desire to be let down easy. ‘The above extract shows that good order has prevatied since Friday, and thus af fords full corroboration of THE SENSIBLE REPORTS which have been sent from this region to the city press. The streets have been crowded by a mtxture Of all nationalities, and yet there had been no angry discussions Lor disturbances of any Kind. This stato of things has been owing to a peaceable disposition on the part of the people throughout, and not from any dread of the multary ordered here to prevent trouble. THE MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT at the camp of the Hazieton Zouaves has cast a gloom over the city, and called forth the followin, rder from General Usborne tn regard to the deatl of Lieutenant Wenner aud corporal Vare:— GENERAL ORDER NO. 16, HeapQuarrEns NintH Drvistox NATIONAL GUARD OF PENNSYLVANIA, SORANTON, April 10, 1871. It fs with feelings of profound sorrow that the Division Commander announces the death of Lieutenant Miles Wen- nor aud Corporal William Care, of the Hazleton Zouaves, Firat battalion.

The result of the interview ot the miners’ commit- tee with tue oilicers of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Wesiern Company has not been diyuiged, aud it is likely that aday or two may elapse, as stated im my aespatch of last evening, before it will be made public. The proposition submitted by them, it any, will go before a meeting of the miuers this evening, and, as Other negotiations will follow, it is not particularly important just now what was done at the conference yesterday. THE DANGER OF ANY FURTHER OUTBREAK for the present has been removed, and li ts to be boped that no other complication will arise m re- gard to the exciting questions which have so agl- tated the public mind} If wise counsels actuate the parties now trying to settie the dificulties all will be weil, and work may be speedily resumed. Both parties must be less obstinate and exacting, how- ever, beiore permanent order can be brought out of the existing chaos. It there is a giving away of never so litle on Gach side peace will be restored, not otherwise. I am free to confess that while I have been all along convinced of the folly of so much ex- citement as has existed lately hereabouts, 1 still deem that the community is resting over a volcano of disturbance which may burst forth at any mo- ment. The end is not yet, and appearances may be deceptive, Dull Times at Scranton—The Arbitration Question Under Consideration—The M@itary Anxious to Go Home—Staguation In Trade. Scranton, Pa., April 12, 1871. The city has been extraordinarily quiet to-day. The streets have been literaliy deserted, and no one would suppose, from present appearances, that a partial state of warexisted. The miners failed to knot upon the corners, few are about any way, and the wonder is where tney hare all gone to. None but citizens, going about their ordinary avocations, have been seen upon the thoroughfares, and the atiliness 13 almost painful, when contrasted with the busy hum which has been guing on for the past week. To-dag & convention of miners, composed of three delegates from each district of the Miners’ Union, embracing the works of the great companies in this valley, has been in session in Hyde Park. They have under censideration the question of arbitration, and what proposition chey wili be willing to make for going to work. The people hereabouts are watt- ing with great anxtety the result of the deliberations or this body, and many profess to believe that advances will be made which wili lead to an immediate resumption of mining in this quarter. Those who are thus hope do not fully comprehend the temper of tie miners. 1 fear there has been no suggestion from the representatives upon which to base an opinion that the troubles are to end as soon as some antici- ated. On the part of the corporations it has only Been proposed that the miners shall go to work wituout terms and leave the question of wages to subsequent arbitration. ‘This 18 hardly considered by the miuers as @ step towards them, and from the well known autipathy to arbitration in any form 1t 9 reasonable to infer that the parties are really no nearer to-night than they were four months ago. To-morrow something definite will be known from the Convention, and m the meantime 1t tg well not to indulge in too much speculation, It be said, however, that while hoping for the the community is ee worst.
