Hamel, new German Liberal, 9,314 In the Sixth division Hasenelever, Socialist, received 30,437; Holt*, Septennist, 16,081, and Grelling, new German Liberal, 11,798. The net result of the Berlin voting is as follows: Socialist, 90,807, a gain of 23,000; Septennist, 99,8m; new German Litoral, 65,884. The Government party have gained 13,000 votms and the new German Liberals have lost {>,000. The returns from the provinces shoe losses by the new German Litorals. Herr Richter’s organ., the FVrirfauigu Zmlmtg, consoles the party by* declaring that the Socialists profited by Radical disasters. This, however, is net exactly the case. Combined,

A feature of the election* , is the unusual number of second balloUi necessary, a fact which proves the closeness of the contests The result in Hamburg is a triumph for t he Social Democrats, two of whose candidates are returned by large majorities. In the third Hamburg division the Socialistic candidate is ahead, but tlie second tiallot is necessary. Corrected returns from the second Berlin division show that Wolff, Beptennists' received 19.022 votes; Virchow, new German Liberal, 18.TO3 and the Socialist candidate 14,689. The pros pects of the success of the Septennists are good. The formidable increase in the number of Socialists throughout the empire is a prominent fact During the day all tho approaches to the pahtces of Emperor William. Crown Prince Frederick William and l*rlnce Bismarck were barred by police. A mass-meeting was held in Tivoli Hall, at which Prof. Virchow made an address. The police broke up the meeting when a Socialist tried to speak. TH* VERT LATEST—TUK GOVERNMENT AHEAD. ; i:#> a. m.—It is safe to say that tho

Speaker CarUxle Mentioned In Connection With the Treasury Portfolio. Washixgtos, Feb. 81.—It is stated upon good authority that a week or ten days ago Representative William L. Boott, of Pennsylvania, went to Speaker Carlisle and asked h im if he would accept the Secretaryship of the Treasury if it was tendered to him, remarking as be did so, that he (Scott) could not entertain such a proposition if it was made to him, as he was interested in so many institutions in corfiict with the lawful requirements for the office; and besides lit would take six months for him to get ready to accept the office if it was placed at his disposal. Speaker Carlisle, it is stated, replied that lie could not afford to relinguish his hold upon Congressional life for a position in tthe Cabinet; that the personal sacrifice would be too great, and he hoped the office would not bo tendered to him. He was then told why he was thought of in connection 1 with the office; that it eras because heeni tertained the popular idea on monetary matters, and the party policy in regard to the tariff and internal revenue, aid further that hw connection with the Administration might have material influence in success at the polls next year. Lcoking at it i n this Ugfat,.the Speaker replied that he might reconsider, should- iit be gemejmUy demanded - that he succeed Mr. Henning. He observed, however, that he could do more in his present position than if he were in the Cabinet; and that other men could be selected who would give quite as much satisfaction to the country, and who would make no general or personal sacrifice in assuming control of the office. Then he was requested to go to the President and speak to him as he then ipoke, and give bis advice upon the question. The Speaker and the President were in consultation for three hours yesterday. It Is 'ret believed that Assistant Secretary FsirchUd will! succeed Secretary Hanning. The Tele Mill Again in Motion. WjBUuaiC'X, Feb.

A'a» Tart: Dear Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letter o(.the 5th mat .asking me to be the guest of the Young Men’s Demo ( cratic Club of Brooklyn, on the 33d Inst, at its annual dinner. As you are aware, I am just recovering from a very painful Illness, which cities not yet permit me to leave my chamber, as a matter of course it will be impossible for me to have the pleasure of dining with you on the SSd, but I send my cordial greetings to the club and the dis- *r Unguished Democrats who wilt be present, and trust that the laudable object an which you aim. the protection of the Union and the success of the National Democracy, will be achieved. The principles of the Democratic party am on trial from a new force, which has suddenly appeared In politics, and which will destroy the party unless it is boldly confrobted, and the dangetous and pernicious e Seeks of Its doctrines and principles denounced and made dear to the public. The Democratic party regards the individual as the unit of society, the Integrity of which depends entirely upon the personal liberty of the citizen. Jefferson and his associates drove the Fede ral party out of power on this issue, which was fundamental In the struggle, which gave us our free Government and produced the Constitution. Until the civil war broke sat, no man questioned the right of the white citizens of the United States to dispose of themselves and their labor in any manner which might seem good. The war extended the same rights to the colored race as the white citizens had previously enjoyed, so thst, up to a very recent period, every citizen of this country had been free to employ himself and pursue his happiness In whatever direction might seem to him to be good. Within the last Uve years, ho wever, a secret organisation has been growing in strength and jcTa power, which weeks to enslave \

Mayor Unrttl. public opinion ana to mo constituted authorities for tbefe action. Gradually the leaden of this body hare succeeded la staining out all personal independence one part of a large number of workmen of the country by refusing to 5»rm;t any person to earn a living who,is not affiliated with this secret organization. In this way the workmen have been coerced into blind obedience to irresponsible power, and the condition of those who have tried to remain outside of the organization Is in many cases truly pitiable. They are called by opprobrious names, arc hunted from shop to shop and denied employment^the fearful penalty of stopping all work, t ever pressimt and important. This is tyranny, against which the fj party has ever struggled, and wide now confront and denounce in no j tones. It is true that Democrats hold tlons have coquetted with this new j ous element in politics, and offices by submitting to the htu apparent indorsement of the false a ous doctrines which have been c-nttni such a fearful cost In our midst,' present month. Unless the Democratic party now 41 absolutely disown and condemn all t.ons .WjhaeeksU, nlnce the{l„dlyi|u^jiqter any otheroontrol than t deprive the citizen of his free action, it will perish, as It ought to do, and will. I desire on this occasion to emphasize this is - sae as one to which yon and jonr fellow-mem-bers shall direct your attention, in the hope that the next State convention wBi condemn, as Washington condemned, all secret organizations which undertake to usurp the functions of the law, and destroy the free agency of the citizen.
