The state OF the Country.
The violent political contest, which is now raging
in every part of the United States, and which will
continue to rage for the next three weeks, will have
very import ant bearing upon the interests OF all
those large capitalists in Europe, who are interested
An American securities.
The results Of the recent State elections in Loui-
siaaa, Maine, Maryland, Delaware, Georgia, New
Jersey, Pennsy lvania &c, although to all appear
suce having but general aspect, yet upon care
full analysis, will be found to possess agreat variety
Of shades aud The state ele cions have
many Of them, beyond all doubt, been Influenced by
variety of local and other causes, that may not be
brought bear the great presidential question in
Noveanker. But yet, perhaps, on careful review
Of the whole of these results il is fair to pronounce
their inevitable tendency to be complete revolu-
ton IN the men and measures connected with the
general government.
IuGeorgia, although the state elections have re
suited in favor Of what is termed the Harrison
wing party, yet the great question there has been
the anti bank question: and the men who elected
to Congress the wing side are pledged to oppose
= National Bank, under any circumstances.
Ia Pennsylvania, the great struggle has been for
and against the United States Bank; and the cleo
tions appear have resulted in favor Of the party
opposed to that bank. The course Of that bank has
defeated aad paralyzed the prospects Of General
Harrison in Pennsy lvania and the probability at pre-
sent is that Mr. Van Buren, will get the vote Of that
state.
The prospect at present is that General Harrison
viii be the president of the United States His
election will involve an entire change Of policy in
the financial measures of the general government,
h~uk Thara ia
some doubt, however, whether in the first session
pf Congress- General Harrisons adminis ration will
have strength sufficient to carry it through but that
IL the Ultima thule of all their plans and movements.
In this revolution that is at hand. the probability
fsthat state stocks will be but little affected thereby
their stability depending upon the conduct Of the
states themselves, and the measures taken to pre-
serve their individual credit, and pay the interest
Of their bonds punctually. Fancy stocks, and bank
stocks however, viii all be considerably affected
by the change; and will all rise more less, and
induce a new train Of specuations. The Penn
sylv,uia election may affect the stocks of that
state TO sonside rable extent; bat under crcum-
stances is it possible that the condition Of United
States Bank stock can be permanently Improved.
That appears to be
Past hope, sunk in its fortunes
FOR the rest-eommercial matters will improve
oonkdencs, either real or assumed, will prevail
and the year 1874 will bring new hopes, new men,
new measures, new Joys, new fears, new specua
lions, new Inducements, and pretty much new every
Hing on the taps.
Tur REGISTRY OF vorEs-FRrsH DIrFrcrL-
TIss.-We apprehend much confus on and informal
ity, if nothing Verse, in the making up with accu.
rAcy the several rsgisties Of votes throughout the
city.
I'm TO Saturday last, nearly a, 800 names were e.
gstered in the several wards According to the terms
of the act this week. aad this week alone, appro-
priatcd to the purpose of receiving challenges and
objections to any name. The Commissioners are
directed to have lists printed and exhibited at pub
lie places in the several wards. IL any person makes
,sbjections 10 any these lists, notice must
be given the voter objected to, and three days
allowed him to substantiate his claim. But all this
process must be gone through with during the pre-
seat week.
Such ENG the law, what are the facts under the
law'
We lean tia, up to yesterday, only few Of the
wars had their lists printed in compliance with the
law The 18th and I'd wards were the only wards
out of seventeen that, in this particular, complied
with the exact provisions Of the law. Many of the
other wards have been dilatory and neglisert-and,
shove all, the 9Th and 9Th the most. The
queoce Of this gigence will he that many persons
not entitled TO roie will be permitted to have their
names the registry, and thus endanger the purity
ofthe electoral franchise.
II is singular fact too ia this matter that one Of
the wards that have exactly complied with the
QUESTIONS OF the law, indebted to Office and
10 cur basiaess system, for their expedition. The
"a ward had only small lie; to print-about half the
Dsmber Of names which any other ward had-and it
was easy to get the printed registry executed in
time. But the 18th ward had long and difficult list,
which was executed At the Herald office, and with
such expeditions beauty, and accuracy, As TO beat the
prsers for the other regisries throughout the city
Yet in spite Of this faithful and rapid execution,
of these lists, we informed that Of the Com.
missioner for that Ward, Mr. Ravens, broker or
lawyer, agent, or something else, in, near, or
absut Wall street, and usder the influence OF the
Wall street ciiquss, very hostile TO the propc-
sitioa OF giving IL to the Herald, although they
could not get il otherwise done in time in the city.
And not only So but because IL was given to us by
she votes Of the other two Commissioner, one Of
whom is a democrat and the other conservative, he
has revenged himself by taxing away tie Ward POLL
from the spectacle house Of Mr. Boruck, where it
was located, and put il mp at Of the lowe.t and
diriiest places in the 18th Ward.
This is small business truly, bat not sms Ter than
the miserab. eliquss OF Wall street sometimes per
petrstc, in order TO exhibit their impotent, mean,
empty, fruitess malignity, towards the New York
Herald, because IL is paper beyond their inf uence,
devoted TO truth, science and honesty, and always
ready 10 prick the miserable bubbles and specula-
tions got up that Of roguery and pudenee
