The false result in the three States enumerated means that Rhode Island. Vermont. Mass achu«ett», and Now Hampshire might as well have not voted at all. In effect the twenty-six Electoral votes *f these four New England States were no more than a set-off against the twenty- six votes of the three Southern Stares we have nnmed, seized by the Democ« racy by valence and iniimicjatiou from the Republican column.

H. liowe'Z A Trial »«lanc9. The raising intt^ p»aee «f the last truss in tiie Main tttiildhig marks an era In the history ol llio World's Expo­ sition. It Is one ef those practical demonstrations which, without being especially important In Itself, cele­ brates a certain stage of progress, and brings home to the understanding n serious and significant fact Standing in the ceuterol that vasl structure, and peering through the amazing wilder­ ness of timbers, one begins to realize the Immensity of the scheme devised by the projectors of the Exposition. That enormous apartment, covering thirty-three superficial acres of area^ aud inclosing au area of almost Incal­ culable cubic contents; the masterly arrangement of galleries and elevators; the wise avoidancc of angles, parti­ tions annexes and recesses--all ehe;e things conspire to impress one with the intelligence and the. prevision ef the management. Surely it must be acknowledged that our Exposition lias the good idens. while avoiding the, errors of all previous • expositions. It represents iu its structure and internal ordering, as is hoped and expected it will represent Suits exhibits mid re­ sults, the progressive energy ardenter prise of the wondrous age. Any event, therefore, which serves to chronicle the complet ion of a'stage liithe hls'ory of the Exposition, is an event worthy of note and observation. It serves to remind us that this grand work is pursuing Its majestic evolution aud that our hopes and anticipations are being sanctioned bv actual results Heretofore the only solicitude felt by thoughtful people ha* referred to the practical aspect of the c;ise--the timely construction o! the buildings and the perfecting of the necessary arange- ments. It is now evident Mi:it no such solicitude need be entertained; that the scheme of the projectors covers all the grounds, aud that nothing will be suffered to balk the triumph of the project. Following the rais-" lug of the last truss, there will be seen, iu rapid succession, tlie filial com­ pletion of tiie Main Building, the fin­ ishing of the t^prticultural Hal!, the perfection of the complex system of tramways, elevators, waterworks, tele­ phone and telegraph lines, and all the rest of the wonderful programme'o; the Exposition. These will be seen and we shall be proud of tiie whole As the most eloquent and thorough expression of the civili­ zation, the artistical and mechanical progress of the generation. All of us will be able to feel that, in New Or­ leans, tiie metropolis of the South, the world has witnessed this tremendous demonstration and it will be many years at '^jOfTbefoae.it is surpassed. time lias passed " Cur jJoij,b;s. The enterprise has emerged from the experimental stage. The progress already made and the calculations which are now reasonable and safe tell beyond preadvent ure, that the great work will be completed in due time; that all she exhibits already con­ tracted for, as well as those still it con­ templation, will find ample accommo­ dation and a more censpicious and impartial display Mian the architec­ ture of expositions in the past has made possible. ^ The trial balance is eminently clieef- ing.
