THUE8DAY, NOVEMBER16,1882-

OR the 15th of October was commenced the fourth century of. the "New Style" of time-registering. The true year does not contain an exact number of days, BO the fractions have been allowed to accumulate and have been added as whole days at tuch times as have been considered wufHciently accurate lor practical purpos«s. As the plan introduced by Julius Caesar of adding one day to every fourth year was fouud to m#ke tbe average civil year a few minutes too long, Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 ordered that the year be corrected by dropping ten days--giving lo the next day after October 4th the date •of October 15th—and that the calendar be made more nearly accurate by having three fewer leap years in each lour •centuries, making every centurial year not divisible by 400, a year of only 365 days. This improved system forms the •Oregorian calendar, which has taken the place of the "Old Style" in all countries save Russia, where the latter method is -titill retained.

IF the GAZETTE had been published in MabHUchusetts it would have opposed 13 Butler as a specimen of political reprobate who deserved defeat, and yet it is not improbable that the infernal old .econndrel may make a model Governor. /He is smart—there is scarcely anyone smarter. Heretofore in his career the country has frequeutly been treated to specimens of bis shrewdness, but it has always been linked with methods so bad &8 to make it shameful, for there is not an Ihariefct bono, to our thinking, in the old rascal's body, and we doubt if be «/6ver refrained from doing any thing (taut he wanted to do from 'moral scruples of any kind. If he has a consciunee it is more than we credit him with. But he is getting old now and he. is smart enough to know that tbe people-admire and respect moral qualiitietyand it is not unlikely that

lie

wparel his actions, not by hit own belief, Jbut by what he knows the people de•mantl. We should not therefore be sur. prised if he would turn the light of fierce )investigation into all the dark places of i'former administrations and inaugurate txeforms which which will be searching taml beneficial. Nor would it be much *i matter of wonder to us if he succeeded in this work so well that the people of the old Bay State would rise up at next •election and carry him back to the Gubernatorial mansion with a majority of ode hundred thousand.

INQERSOLL'S OPINION OF TBE FLOOD. "Being at Detroit yesterday Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, as an authority on bibical questions, was interviewed on the flood of the day before. His views on that •question seem to be as heterodox as those be is known to.entertain concerning the .great freshet in Noah's time. Being masked what had caused the great political reaction he said:

First—Extravagant appropriations Second—The refusal to reduce taxations. At least $75,000,000 should have been taken from the burden!) borne by the people. Twenty millions dollars should have been taken from sugar, arid the entire tax from tobacco. The Republican pirty should have taken such steps that all internal taxation could in one year from now be abolished. The people are tired of paying war taxes in time ot peace. They want collectors and treasury agents and gaugers fcnd all sorts ot detectives .and spies discharged.

Third—The Republicans should not have postponed tariff reto'rm. The tariff commission was a mistake. The people saw it was only an appliance for continuance, a ruse for delay, and that the Re .publican party was not going to act.

Fourth—Prominent Republicans have been trying to kill each other. The great struggle has been for office. We have too many )oliticans and not enough statesfight against Cornell

men. The fight against Cornell was unfortunate. Cameron role, and everywhere there 1 seems to have been hatred and disgust." "What will be the effect upon the Presi dential contest in 1884?" asked tbe report cr in the interview "It looks to me now that General

Pennsylvania was tired of

Sherman will be the next President The Bepublicans will be compelled to take such .atnan as General Sherman, and Sherman is the only such man I know. Stalwarts half breeds, reformers and civil service gentlemen can all unite on Sherman soldier and statesman.

One could hardly have ex)e£ted the doughty Colonel, without the violation Of professional secreta, to have told the weightiest reason ot them all. And yet he is in the possesson of a very great deal of exact information tbe subject. Messrs. Dorsey and Brady, his clients in the Star route prosecutions, might have told him, for instance, that Indiana is a Democratic state and that the last time it went Republican it w'as carried over the will of the voters by his clients through the most monstrous system ot bribery and corruption ever practiced this side of the river Styx, the existence of which, however, the Colonel denies. Col. Ingersoil doubtless knows this, lor surely he and others have dinned into the willing ears of Arthur, and the unwilling ears of Brewster, as they did in the unwilling •ears of Garfield and James and MacVeagb, that the prosecution of Dorsey and Brady ought not to be pushed be* cause they had used their admitted Star

routes stealings to the advantage of the party in carrying Indiana in 1880. In tbe second place Col. Ingeraoll^ than whom, in spite of all his bluster to the contrary, no one knows better the guilt of bis client, is aware ot the fact that this same Dorsey is Secretary of the Republican national committee. Can he think the American people have sunk so low that they will eBdorse a party which persists in keeping at the head of its affairs a thief who deserves conviction in the opinion of every honest man of every parly. The flood of Tuesday was a protest by Republicans against that sort of thing and il was just I and deserved.

Again, the Stalwart wing of tbe Republican party wa3 on trial. It was a public castigation of the third-term bosses who have broadened their phylacteries and gone about claiming that they were the anointed rulers of the people. For years they have been claiming that they held up the country by its caudal appendage. Yesterday the decent and reputable Republicans, who constitute the brains and conscience of that party, took occasion, especially in New York, to teach them a lesson.

New York's enormous majority against Folger was a protest against Conkling and Arthur and Grant, against third-term bosses and public plunderers generally, and it will permanently retire from politics that disreputable coterie.

As to the Republican party, it is not dead. It is greatly stronger this week than it was last. It has beaten its bosses and is able now to prepare itself for better work. ,.

THE result ot the Congressional race in this district can not fail to be a surprise ts many people. It was supposed by the Republicans to be a district on which they had a mortgage. Mr. Peirce waa elected by a plurality of over 2,672, two years ago, over his Democratic com petitor. It seemed hardly possible for the result to be reversed and aa actual majority registered on the other side, but so it is. The fight has been a bard one and has been bitterly contested by both parties. Both candidates made a thorough canvass of the district and their joint debates were listened to by thousands. The people had ample opportunity to consider the merits of opposing candidates and the principles ot the two parties, and their verdict was with the Democracy. The canvass of Mr. Lamb a has been in many ways a brilliant one and the result justifies the best predictions of his most enthusiastic frieds. His speeches have been clear and logical have keen fair and candid, and at every point he has met and overmatched his competitor, so

that the result is a personal triumph for him as well as for the party. What has hitherto been deemed impossible has come about the lamb ha« bitten the butcher, and, to change and mix the fig Ure, seems to be a yard wide and all wool.

THE OFFICIAL COUNT.

The Board of Inspectors of Elections met at the Criminal Court room this morning, Judge C. F. McNutt presiding, and County Clerk M. N. Smith acting as clerk. Several of the Inspectors had turned their sealed packages over to tbe clerk and left their duplicates at home thinking that the packages could be opened, in the presence of the Board. This the attorneys decided could not be dune as the packages must remain sealed in the hands of the clerk unless in case of contested election. Those Inspectors who did not bring their poll books with them will, therefore, have to ride home for them. In some cases this means a ride of several miles and it will be late to-night before the Board has completed the canvass of the vote and it may not be done then. For the satisfaction ot alt parties concerned it may be said that the GAZETTE'S report last night was in the main correct and there will be little material change. An error in precinct in the Sixth ward makes a change of about 30 in Mr. Davis' favor.

THE LEGISLATURE.

From the best figures obtainable at this time the Legislature will stand Senators holding over—Democrats, 9 Republicans, 14.

Elected: Democrats, 18 Republicans, 8 doubtful, 1. The Lower House: Democrats, 65: Republicans, 35. The final re turns may change these figures, but not enough to change the result in giving the Democrats a clear majority Houses.

THE OFFICIAL COUNTf*!

The official vote was not canvassed until 5 o'clock this morning. It will be found on an inside page. Captain M. M. Smith, clerk ot the Election Board, was up all night and says he will not see anything but figures for a week. The reportwhich the GAZETTE gives to-day is the first and only absolutely correct one yet published and will be valuable to nle^ away and also to settle bets. John Wil-

'i.

son's majority is 114 which is some-. what larger than The GAZETTE figured itp last night. Buff's majority in this county is cut down to 188, one or two errors having crept into the GAZETTE'S hurried re-: port on the day after the election whicht ,' cut it down from a little over two hundred. From a report elsewhere in this issue it will be seen that Buff also carried Sullivan county by a small majority.

Andy Grimes' majority, over 2,400, is a* «plendid tribute to him. It will be seen by an examination ot the interesting table published to-day that the legislative ticket did run ahead of the rest of the State ticket. In the figures giving pluralities Schloss' vote i«f* calculated against' Hudson's, as both are from the city, and Kester's against Lee's, as both of them are from the country. The legislative vote ran away ahead in the city, but did not run so well in the country. His friends will be gratified to see that Mr. Lamb ran considerably ahead of the State Democratic ticket. There are numbers of curious and inter- ,. esting details in the figures which GAZETTE readers can find „out. Iqr themselves. ft
