THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 11, 3.875

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11.

Is thla the kind of service Uiat ras Tronin rav thla patriot 5,000 to .perr m form? 1 r The Journal la unfortunate in the 'ttter.1. v,na1npp. It started out to Interview the senators and governor. It caught Mor ton, lor he was near at hand. Tb a it snught out Governor nendricks, ana utotmu mm so reticent that no politkjei poi nta -cenld be nf th Interview. Now. the fact la th intArvlewer never saw Mr. Heclricks. vaaw - lie was absent at EvansvRle. The indictment of MoKee, one of the proprietors of the Globe-Deiaocrf.t,as oce of the members of the whisky ring at Louis, calls romind thact4at t'oe exposing o! this whole nefarious eheme oi swindling the government was cttrted In tho Democrat office before the con8oHdekn. It is possible that in the investigation that is to loUow some rick developments wH: be made touching the cansolidatlon as necessity that has concealed thee long the complicity ol the interest of the administration papers there in depredations upon the revenue. The Journal and the News have a contro versy over Morton's opposition to the nomination of Ben. Harrison. It fc-very singular that the Journal should iorget the well understood situation at the time, or deny for a moment the feeling of rivalry that Mr. Morton has always manifested toward Mr. Harrison. Mr. Harrison's defeat was not that he loved Browne more, for when it came to the erntest, in all doubtful districts Mr. Browne was traded ofl to secure Morton a vote in the Assembly, while in all Republican districts Mr. Browne ran up to his picket. The New Yoric Ileraid, from its elevated position, gives advice to the college of cardinals touching the election oi a new chief bishop ot the Catholic Church, and enters upon an elaborate disausslon to prove the wisdom of the appointment of so many Ultramontane cardinals which would always end In the elecüocoi an 'Italian pope. The II er aid wants the matter. fixed up so that Archbishop McCloekey, of New York, who has lately received the cardinal's hat, and was invested with all the honors and authority of the college from the hands of the P ot Rome, may be selected as the successor o. pio jfono. It has been gencjjy 'lamented that Mr. Grant has no ability to ak, and that on bo many occasions tho Amwrm people have been forced to acknowledge ti. niter aterilitv of hi3 brain, or the etißness oi his tongue when the surroundings would have helped ao idiot to say something. But in view ot Mr. Grant's late efforts to ex temporize, having no stubs of pencils about him, it is a very fortunate thing that he don't orten talk. The bead of a nation of forty millions of people talking about a rag baby being sat down on is so utterly rldlcu Joua that we wonder any one would have reported it, if he did say any such thing. i ii i The seBsionsof the United States grand lury uow held in this city are of course se cret, and it Is not known what will be velorvJi ut euuicieot, Uis thought, to render certain the indictment and conviction ol the parties at Evansville whose establish ment bad been seizsd on account of suspl cioned frauds upon the revenue, in illicit distillation and sales of whisky. It is thought that certain rallroada maybe involved as conniving at the frauds, and there is gen eral trembling in certain quarters aato the action of tho grand jury in the premises. A number of Evansvillians are taking leisurely a little .city life here awaiting their turn to be called. ' The Journal has a queer and singular taste. A lew days ago the Sentinel com mented upon the arrest of Brlgbam Young for the non-payment of the alimony to his divorced wife, Eliza, as set forth La the telegram from tho West. The Journal forthwith . accused : the .. Sentinel of a dele ose . of . the hoary-headed sinner, and sympathy with the heathenism of Utah. Wir can not the Journal accuse Pierrepont of favoring polygamy, for looking at the arrest in the aameliaht? What la singular la that tha Journal should so .much aooner recognize the impropriety of the arrest on the opinion of the attorney general thaa on that of the Sentinel. Another ocean disaster is reported this tnornicgbff Galveston, and the unfortunate crew escaped the flames of the burning vessel to be driven rapidly out into a rough sea in open boats. They haye not been beard from ye', though every clort will be made to rescue them. The other disaster, that of the Pacific on oar Western coast, ot which notice came yesterday, shows another of those cases wherein criminal neglect has sacrificed a whole crew and passengers. It la a little singular how accidents or casualties of this kind and other kinds follow each ether closely so often. Railroad accidents often follow each other as 1 epidemic; so with staamboat disasters acid iArge Area, While writing thlf, atUl another ;

near Cuba, and the frlghtfal probability ol thrw or four other brigs and schooner being lost in a terrible hurricane that lately swept over the West Isdies, Truly these urlsrortunes aid not eome singly. If a prominent Democrat had -been in dicted by the courts for frauds upon the government it -would have been heralded over the country with glaring head lines, bat when the proprietor of one of the leading administration papers of the West is int 1 ted by the grand Jury to walk into court, the event Is recorded as airnply "An awk ward position1 for the man to be placed in. The awkwardness acd crookedness ol the St. Louis whisky fraads seem likely, at the present writfwg, to involve in awkwardness some parties near (he throne. What a ter rible scandal will ensue if measures are not at once taten to suppress all the information about brother Orvllle and Bibcock. The details of the Howard county korroi , as gathered by a reliable representative cf the Sentinel, indicates beyond the enadoof a doubt that the father ot the murdered children waa an insane person. The crime committed was the most unnatural one that could kave been conceived, and every circumstance connected with the terrible tragedy goes to establish the .generally ac credited theory that Robinson was a mad man 1 the moat dangerous character. Whether he supplemented the murder of his childrea by suicide or waa killed by accident is of little consequence. The world Is well rid oi him, as. he could hardly have bsen cocvlcted, and he might otherwise have-en dancered other lives. Endorsing Rascality. IS is a matter for speculation as to what wae the exact appropriateness ot serenading President Grant and Boss Shepherd on the sacae night, and over the result of the late elections. Of .course those ,ho did the serenading claimed the general elections as Republican victories. Tiiey thereupon serenaded Mr. Grant, implying that the victories endorsed him. This is ail . very clear, but what relation will the Republicans own between the victories and Mr. Shepherd. The natural conclusion is that the Republican triumph endorses Mr. Shepherd. Mr. Shepherd is corrupt, and corrupting the ballot box with purchased votes in Ohio would endorse as well as delight him. The battle in Mew York waa against the canal thieves. If the Tilden ticket had received seventy-five thousand majority it would have been a triumph against rascality. But that ticket failed to get such an endorsement-v-tbe verdict was not against thieves to an amazing amount so Shepherd rejoices in it. Shepherd feels endorsed, and accepts a serenade. Shepherd Is happy because thieves are not condemned. Pennsylvania was carried, where ballot-box stuffing is common and corruption rampant. Philadelphia Jobs smell very much like Washington jobs. Ilartranit'a victory endorses rascality. Shepherd recognizes in him a true pal, and meekly accepts the serenade. It was, he said, "glad tidings of good news" to him. On this principle of the endorsement of rascality there was appropriateness in the serenade to Shepherd. Bat how then about Mr. Grant. Was it an endorsement of bis failure in civil service reform T Was it an endorsement of his failure to unferret and expose crime? Really this endorsement ol Mr. Grant and Shephertt on the same night, over thieving unhindered in New York and corruption in Pennsylvania, rather mixes things. Will Bime Republican paper give us the true inwardness cf it? enioeratle Utsponslblllty. The political tidal vaTe that swept over the country last yr, giving to the Democratic party a larg, majority in the papular branch of the NaUnai Legislature, may be fairly designated as .n earnest proteat of the people against rnloTernmenf, Indeed, it was very generally .0nceded at the time, that this was the true meaning and interpretation of that election. Tha people had borne mlsmansgement Ion witQ marvelous patience and forbearance, uuj at la mey became awakened to a lull reall zation oi mm iscs tnat me greatest wrong of modern times had been, and continued to be, inflicted upon the country, and the spell was auddenly broken and the long delayed light of truth broke In upon the public mind. Tha wrong doers so lar as they could then be reached were burled from power. To the observing mind there can be no question that the same feeling that then struck a popu lar blow last year still pervades the popular heart, and that if the Democratic Congress, soon to assemble, shall but make good its promises, In a word, keeps faith and does not disappoint the reasonable expectations of the power that made it, the comlpg year will witness the completion of the good work thus bo happily begun. There will be a peculiar fitness In the complete restoration of the Democratic party to power during the approaching centennial year. Political events freighted with such an amount of public good comes to any people only at long intervals. . What could be Imagined more grand and fit, than that during this year of general joy, when the old time lraternal feeling shall again be happily reearned, the government of the nation shall pass into the hands of the grand' old party that so long and so successfully controlled and guarded its destinies? While it is believed that these desirable results will snr6ly come if tho , Damocraiic party is true to tho pledges that gave it confidence and victory last . year, the Sentinel is of the opinion that noth ing short of a clearly manifested purposo by the party . to give a new tone in the characters of publlo men, thoroughly reform the publlo service, and give to the people an honest and economical government, will insure these desirable re sults. As we view the situation, the near politi cal future of the country is really in the hands of the Democratic House ot Representatives that will assemble In December. Witbont doubt, the leaders of the condemned administration now rest their prin-

cipai hopea.la antidpaigcUantloped-for

blunders by that body. They know, lull well that every measartf paiaed.Wnä et pro posed will be watched by the people as, per haps, no HoueqwM yei r watched belore, and that if an honest smd ' statesman-like policy shall prevail,' there ! wlij.be but - little for them to hops for In the comlngstruggle. In vitw of this high responsibility resting upon them, the Sentinel would bespeak from our Democratic friends lu Congress a thoughtful care and singleness of . purpose that can not I? 11 to impress the country with the wisdom of the change. To the attainment ot the full measure of the good results anticipated and hoped for by our friends, and only such es may be reasonably expected by the general public, a proper organisation is lndispensible. A blunder here In the first act , ot tho now conrress when the anxious eyes of the whole people will be upon it can ' hardly afterward be fally overcome. If dlsap pointment and mistrust shall be allowed to enter and abuse the public mind, ai the re sult of a blunder in placing men of doubtlal . integrity or blemished reparation tn positions of trust and responsibility, a grand opportunity will be thrown away for which there can be no possible excuse before the people. Buch a contingency need cot, and we faope and believe will not occur. That it be surely avoided, only men whom the whole country know and recognize as capable and honest should be chosen to all responsible positions in the organization of the House of Representa tives. The good moral effect ot auch an opening ol the new Congress can not well be overestimated. Thla accomplished, and then followed, as it doubtless would be, by Judicious legislation, the result of the com ing presidential campaign could be easily foretold. The public mind would be im Dressed thereby with the wisdom of the revolution begun, and Its completion as cer tain as the relations of effect to Its cause. What Is Honey? The question of finance has been discussed very fully in certain relations during the progress of the fall campaigns in several of tbestates.andyet the practical difficulty that has given rise to the discussions, the depression of the business prosperity of the country, has not been aÜected by public opinion as expressed at the ballot-box. This shows that the question of the finances can only become a semi-political question, that the contraction or expansion ot the currency, though it needs legislation to accomplish it, must take place, not by political sentiment or public opinion, but by the laws of trade and commerce, or rather the necessities of commerce. Money, after all that can be said about it, Is practically but a medium of exchange. It is in the abstract good for nothing. It ministers of itself nothing to the comfort or happiness of the human race. It is simply useful as a means where by the holder of a large amount of produce, or real estate or anything in itself useful toman's comfort or convenience, may be exchanged for a number of others things that some other men have, and that he wants. It there was no medium of exchange there would be endless difficulty in securing the general necessities cf life that a man might not or could not produce. Without this medium the owner of a horse who wished to dispose of it for the purpose of purchasing his winter household supplies would be forced by necessity not only to find a man that wanted the horse, but one who also had every article he wished provisions, fuel, clothing and other things. Whatever is acknowledged or made a representative of value, no matter what it is, so it can be made a medium of exchange, may be called money if the people choose, and they may use it as such. The man sells bis horse for so much of it, and then, by dividing it up in small parcels, makes it a means ol securing the several things that he wants of many other men. This might take place with the use of anything that was convenient. Anything that the government should, by authority, stamp and declare to be a medium, might be appropriately called money. Gold and sliver have been adopted by most nations as a medium. The tnly advantage that ft has over paper is that fcbv scarcity of thi metal prevents it from becouing an articlo of commerce itself, Instead ot being a representative of value. If a wnole ountain of gold should be discovered, and 6rry Wjr could get iv . easily as so much iron, it would cease to be a medium, doubtless. It is the stamp of the government that gives it lta representative value and makes it a medium. If gold were as plenry as iron, paper would be a great deal better medium, the stamp of the government being harder to counterfeit. ' All nations ought to have enough of this medium or currency to do the proper business of the country. The trouble In this country la that the heavy foreign debt drains the country of the metallic currency tor interest, and the government, in providing for this, makes a demand for this kind of currency for custom dues. Of course this demand will cause, the . depreciation of the other - currencv that . ths government has established In pro portion to - the scarcity , of : gold. There is not enough gold in the country to pay the annual Interest on tha public debt and all other expenses of the government, and 'yet leave a auSiciency- for cbmuabrcs and trado. It is theroforo the Bcarcitv of gold and the Imperative demand for it that increases its value compared with the other currency that the government has indorsed as legal tender or representative of value. The evil therefore of ths resumption bill is that it demands that every man shall need gold to pay all his debts, while now he only needs it to pay a certain kind of debts to the government. The greater demand for gold, while the constant drain for foreign Interest goes on, renders it still harder to get, and hence, it will, speaking in the ordinary way, make this gold higher. The legislation therefore that is needed la not to force this necessity, while the gold is so scarce, but, if possible, lessen the demand for gold for specific purposes. This will tend to the equalization of the gold and other cur rency, oi coarse the diminishing of tho

government could pay out the gold for ber obligations J3irf since this can not ba tfoajJ it will be folly- to . destroy thla currency and turn the debt of the government that it represents into another 1 batch of bonds bear! De Interest in cold, and leave 'tha country without a sufficient currency to transact the business of exchange. , The practical question in this whole matter 1 how mach of currency does the country need? That. discovered, it abould be provided, unless the government can pay the obligations in coin. There is no redundancy of currency now. Ii the government will only let the matter rest in its present shape, if it should prove redundant, the national bank paper will be retired. Let there be some sart of pledge from the government that this matter shall be left alone, left to the laws ot trade and commerce until . the government can resume the indebtedness by the payment of coin, and we believe that the relative ' representative values of the coin ami paper will become ao fixed and definite that if it does not very nearly equalize, its fluctuation will no longer inconvenience trade, or render panics from this source possible. TXae Ensanguined Underwear. Mr. Morton has returned from the East, the Journal announced yesterday, but what was the use of making a note of it for the Journal readers. It was as clear as noon, day that he was near at hand. The organ for the past week or so had folded up the bloody shirt and head lines of the "gospel of peace' adorned its columns. The Sentinel had fondly hoped thr.t, ensanguined under wear might cease to be a matter for editor rial comment hereabouts. It had hoped that the recent interview of Mr. Morton with the president would lead to the adoption ot some new issue, and that ere this the Democratic ranks would be roused by a new key-note, in the organ's song, But alas, there is nothing new. Tho alliance of John Morrissey. with the Republican party,' is passed over with a simple congratulation. The threatening aspect of the Spanish situation has no power to awaken deeper tones. Tbe redemption of Massachuseets alone calls forth a slight tremulo of melody; the gains all along the line,' that its party claims, offer no theme for a certain triumphal march in 1S76. All these themes are Ifdd aside, and the everlasting shirt still waves. The Journal's article on Mississippi, releterated for the ten thousandth time, Is becoming nauseating in the extreme. Does it imagine that its own party friends will forever be content to endure such stuff as a food for political sentiment? Does the Journal think that anyone who has the patience to read those bloody diatribes through can fail to detect their utter wortblessnessT It will not convince anybody that Mr. Morton ought to be elected president, and what else can be In view it is har d to determine. The Journal's estimate shows that there are about sixty thousand Democratic voters, and ninety-eight thousand Republican voters, and yet that these sixty thousand men scattered all over the state, like the Republicans, have chased tr.e larger num ber off into swampi and canebrakes to save themselves from butchery and hanging while the rascally Democrats hare stopped pursuing them only long enough to turn in and have a peaceable election all to themselves. What a cowardly set of popples they T7ere, and this so soon manifested after Plerrepont's dispatch to Ames, encouraging the Southern Republicans to try to take care of themselves, as k the only ground upon which they could ce cure government aid, The very over overplus ot Republican voters in Mis slssippi that the Journal claims shows conclusively that its statements about ter rorism and outrage are clearly false. The scries of threats and intimidations narrated by the Journal never bad an existence, and there are now but few other papers of re spectable standing In the United States that pretend to advocate any such a theory as the Journal advances accounting for the politl cal complexion of tho Southern states. . It is mere gasconade and balderdash. The fact is, the South has endured the consequences of a maladministration of the government in a grosser form than the people of the North, and even the '.uncultured negroes are beginning to see the falsity of the professed friendship ol the Republican party, and the utter uselessness of eutrrtng themselves to be driven around to the polls liko so many cattle by the political scalawags of tho South la the interest of the Republican party, and they are deserting it. They are realizing that law and order are of more advantage to them than a holiday of political contention and fighting, and throwing off this constraint, laid upon them by political adventurers from the North, they are uniting with the conservative elements that can alone give them peaceable and stable government in their states. K It ia untrue that the late elections were not peaceable. They were attended with less of strife and . bloodshed than - hotly contested elections in - the North. The furious and bloody accounts of riot and Intimidation are conceived in the brain of Northern newspaper editors, and have no real foundation.- It is about time, that this silly twaddle were ended.' It Mr; Morton-should once lose his grip upon his; favorito theme and become enamored pf the sounding of some new keynote, the Southern outrage would be heard of no more. Grant and Kliepherd Speak, ' President Grant has been making another speech. ' A crowd of office holders marched in precession to tho White House,' last Saturday evening, and serenadod him. In acknowledging the compliment, he made the secend longest ppeech ct his life. It takes just twelve lines ot the Sentinel to publish it, and, as itmust be presumed that he knew the serenade was intended, the words he spoke were, no doubt, duly considered In his Des Moines speech it was the Pope that inspired his eloquence. His inspiration on Saturday night was orawn from tne "rag baby." He declared that this child "had teea entirely lupprejsed," and ex-(

resaedlipinion'Uiatthe Republican Ety wQl txmtrol the government at least fOUrjy'jiaaCIfeDKer." When Mr. Lincoln was

president he received 25,000 a year in green bar jts, and with gold 25Qt it follows.. that lJs salary was f 10,000 a year in coin..' Gep. Grant's salary is föO.000 ' yeaVin' currency, and with .gold at' llS.Xmdre than the; av erage, rate since he has ' been president), he receives over $43,000 a year 'in. coin, or more than foar times the salary paid Mr. Lincoln. It ill becomes a man drawing 150,000 a year from the publlo treasury to gramblo at the quality ot the money he gets. Outside of the army he could not command one-tenth the salary he is now receiving for playing president. We say playing because he eeems to take but little interest In public affairs, except to appoint his relatives and personal friends to office, and draw hl salary.' About one-half the year he Is away from the capital,' snuffing the ocean breezes at Long Branch, or inhaling the dry air of the tar West. If $50.000 a year in greenbacks is not sufficient pay for what he oes, the heirs ot his predecessors should de maud back pay for the services of the de parted presidents. Were not the next Con gresa Democratic in one braneh, such t measure could be pushed through it, if it were coupled with back pay for the mem bers and a further 'increase ol the presl dent's salary. ' As matters stand, however, the effort had better be delayed for awhile in order to see if the people will not again send a majority of Republicans to the House. Should they do this, the measure would pass without trouble, 11 sugared in the way Indicated aD3ve. We are alBO informed by telegraph that, after the president had made his speech, the crowd marched to the residence of Ex-Gov ernor Shepherd and serenaded him also. The Boss made a speech, bot we are not in formed whether be.too, Jsang a requiem to the "rag baby.' Perhaps he ia satisfied 7lth his stealings at their currency value. His ring speculations, his contracts and f obs brought him great gains, and it may be that they were large enough to satisfy hla cupidity without the gold premium being added to their vol ume. If so, the country owes some Commendation to the Boss of the Washington ring. A demand that his stealings should be paid in gold would not have been modest in the ex-governor; neither was it modest in the president to ridicule the currency that paid his salary as a general when he was worth something to the country, and ask gold in return for serviocs as a civil officer, when he is worth little or nothing to tho?ewho employ him. The David and Jonathan the Damon and Pythias oi Washington society are called upon at the same time by alot of offic9 holders who rejoice over election returns that give them hope of retain ing place and pelf. Damon wants gold for do ing nothing, and Pythias is probably satisfied with greenbacks for what he has filched from the people. For the credit of the na tion it Is hoped that General Grant will no longer hob-nob with men noted for their corruption and dishonesty, and that when his political friends call on him, by way ot compliment, they may not think it neces sary, at the same time, to pay court to the chief of the Washington ring. Toe Kesult Its Significance. It is yet too early to ofler speculations on the probable causes of the defeat of the Democracy In the elections Tuesday. It is useless to conceal disappointment at the result. We who are in the West and know of the growing popular sentiment against the Republican party here, were led to hope that the same sentiment so prevailed else where, that the usual appliances of a party In power would be strong enough - to overcome - tn opposition in. bo general an election as that held . ou u Tuesday ilast. .The "' Sentinel is not, however, prepared to. acknowledge that the result is ' an unequivocal endorsement of the Republican party, or ', the administration now in power, for the majorities are comparatively too meagre for a conclusion like that. The attention ia rather turned to the want of wisdom on the part of the Democracy. In failing to take advantage of the occasion which seemed so auspicious since last year's elections, for overturning the power ot the party in power. Instead of concentrating the moral force of the party against the corruptions of the administration, Democrats have suffered private griefs and personal ambitions to distract the ranks, and thus enable the enemy to achieve an easy victory, when publlo opinion had already weighed them in the balance and found them wanting. " It is Indeed not surprising, when it is considered that the Democracy battled against the power of an unscrupulous administration; and laid down a policy that must necessarily drive away from the party strong and powerful corporate influences, that we should have suffered this defeat. We are not without hope that this defeat will In the end work to the advantage of the party and show the necessity, that was apparently overlooked of a united effort all along the line for the object of victory, and then adjust the differences of policy and settle the aspirations of men after the enemy was ours. The difference in policy on the financial question ot two powerful states, like New York and Pennsylvania, bo close together and each reaching to the; sea coast : and comprising money centers of the Union, was an anomaly ', that ; would cause thoughtful men - to ponder the purposes '.; of , ' a party that had, : such diverse - bases on which to . shape the future legislation of the country on' the Important question of finance.' Had a wiser counsel prevailed, and tha policy on that question in the platforms of - these two states been that of the Indiana Democracy, and a general union of sympathy East and West, the result in Ohio would have done njs ho damage, and the general result of the late elections would have doubtless proved a decided success. On the contrary, the policy In New York seemed to be to constrain a following in favor of that which could not even combine in unity the Democracy of their own state. The discord in New York, the reckless . demand kthat the fortunes of one m&a should imperil, If

necessarjheijturejucssortherarty, created that "general distract and beaxtlessnesa that has proved our discomfiture. Tha -xnsnlt- -should distinctly .point Oout tp - J be. pemocracy "o the whole country 'that if' the -party Is to have, success it .matCperit Jt, apd thftt the promise of the' elevation of this or thai man will not secure the grand aim 'to be achieved In the overthrow of the Republican : party. The people rather desire that personal' ambition be put away, Thoy do not want presidential rings any more, than they.do other rings that are destructive of good government. - ' ' I :) Another good result will follow this check that the democracy has received. .It will teach tbem the necessity of being extremely careful in any proposed legislation by congress. Having control of the house of representatives this fall for the first time since the opening ot tne war, it may be naturally expected that, in attempting to correct some of the abases in legislation that have obtained tinder Republican legislation, extreme views and measures would be proposed. It la necessary to guard against this, and to show to the whole country by every proposed act or measure that tbe Democracy means reform, economy, low taxationa and war upon rings, extravagance, monopolies, subsidies, and all other means whereby the Republican party has rendered itself inü mous, and enriched ' its . leaders. On these issues the Republican party is to be over thrown, and when tbe actings of tbe Democracy strictly tend to this end they will merit and secure success all over the country. . . r. Journalistic. It amusing to note the spirit with which the leading journals of the country treat the matter of the late elf ctions. The satisfaction and composure of. all parties is remarkable. The leading editorials of the metropolitan papers were pitched to a very positive key before the elections, and any one reading would be led to think that the very fate of tbe nation depend upon the success of their favorite ticked. But new that tbe election is over and the sun still rises, everybody is satisfied, if not with the result, yet with their several ability to point out juBt the very reason why things were thus and so, and what benefieent ends will be accomplished evon by defeat, that will outweigh any temporary advantage ot present success. In Chicago the press is glorying over the triumph, which is gained only by two or three thousand, over one Hessing whom thev have characterized as a "thief," "robber," "black-leg," "bully" and general reprobate. - In New York the' Herald rejoices over the defeat of Tammany. The Times rejoices that Morrisey and company havo aided in securing an Indorsement of the Republican party, and that a third term for Grant is forever disposed of. The Tribune n jolces that the Republican party has shown its willingness to coalesce with the expurgated rascals of the Democratic party, and approved tbe honesty of the lower in deserting it; and the poor old World, between wrath and gloating, has forgotten its prediction about another fifty thousand indorsement for Tilden and an easy path to the White House, and looks out to scan the returns from Pennsylvania and relieve itsolf of a few requiem groans for the fate of tbe rag baby whom It has been endeavoring to bury ever since tbe Ohio election. The Cincinnati Enquirer hisses out its satisfaction at the humiliation ot the New York leaders of the Democracy; the righteous Gazette feels sure that tbe American people want tbe Republican party to remain in power, and at the same time tenders a reserved Invltatiun to Christian people to hold a religious Centennial at that city for the year 1876. The Commercial, that always manages to get on the winning side, if it know which side that will be, is delighted over the victories for an administration that is now more corrupt than when it formed an angle and two aides of the famous quadrilateral that did not make Horace Greeley president. ..- It is a happy condition of things when all parties can be satisfied, and it omens a good era when all can cheerfully acquiesce in the inevitable, and be reconciled to the doctrine

ot what is to be will be. Tbe Republican Triumph. . It may not be without interest to make a slight Investigation of this great "republican triumph," and see fust where we stand. Let us suppose that a president was to be elected this fall. The states can be tabulated as follows: , .. . Democratic. Republican. Illlncl8M..Iowa... Kansas....... Maine........... MasHachusetts.
