Tax ELECTION YKsrKRDAr.-By courtesy we
use the term 'election,' = but we suppose the re-
cord OF American suffrage in the whole history of
our country contains nothing so humiliating as
the transactions which took place yesterday I'M
der the nominal pretence Of an "election.n To
call the thing a "farce' is to sport with the most
vciOus and demoralized political condition of
this community Moreover, disorder, riot and
bloOdshed have again disgraced the name Of our
city, and we stand in the record of Yesterdays
hideous proceedings a blot upon the escutcheon
of popular liberty-a very mockery Of political
independence.
1t is unnecessary to refer to any particular facts
or to tell the story Of the day Ii is related with
emphasis in the returns of the polls Of the several
wards, which sufficiently indicate that many thou
sands OF the people have been Virtually disfran-
chised, and that no election has taken place A
certain number Of men will be returned as elected
members Of the first branch Of the city council.
and as such will take their seats, but under cir
cumstances which few will be disposed to vaunt
or even contemplate.
In presenting the returns we make no compari-
son with former elections. The thing is too la
dicfous. 1t Is enough to say that in Baltimore,
which gave vo.e last year for President Of % III
yesterday only IA 667 were cast, of which the
American candidates received ii SIS, and the
Democratic 2.7o9.
The result consists of 10 Americons and Dem
ocrat as the membership of the first branch Of the
CITY Council. Last year, the same branch OF the
council stood-Americans 10, Democrats = The
second branch, which holds over, consists of five
members OF each party.

The Union discusses g The Monied Crisis
and " Slavery among the Choctaws," to-day.
The InteIigeneey, in an elaborate and able
essay, breaches and urges the propriety of the
re-establishment Of an United States Bank, as
its panacea for the existing financial troubles
Our estimable contemporary is evidently in
earnest on this recommendation, as strange as
1t may seem; for it has never ceased to deplore
the explosion of Nick Biddle and his institution,
as about the greatest calamity the country has
yet experienced.
Up to month ago, not one man in thou
sand in the United States entertained the same
opinion. Now, however, the Inteligencer will
have respectable party at its back on that
question; for fear-panic-will make converts
TOR 1t by thousands, who, being temporarily in
capable of reasoning, will forget the sound les
sons they have been learning for the last
twenty years, and will clutch at any straw
floating within their reach.
That the country will adopt the Hltelhgs,l-
GERS suggestions, however. is a moral impossi-
bility. The day for it has passed and gone
The evils under which the country now suffers
are for the most part the result of too much
banking and too great power on the part of the
bankers. The Hqtelligencer would cure the
bite with the hair Of the dog So long as in
ordinary times our land is over prosperous, rs
II has been since recovering from the disasters
OF 1887, for much of which the old Bank of the
United States was held responsible until a
month ago, By nine-tenths of the people of the
United StatesD We shall have expansions and
undue speculation on the part of banks and
brokers and others in trade. The only remedy
Is the gradual adoption of entire individual re-
sponsibility on the part of all owning bank
stocks, and, indeed, most other stocks
When all interested in joint stock enterprises
are made to feel certain that their mis- nanage-
ment cannot injure the community without first
running them, they will cease to run ahead of
the legitimate wants of the community, and
and will be conducted with the prudence and
under the sense of due responsibility that gov
erns men for the most part in the transaction of
private business. Such is the change required
to secure our country in the enjoyment of its re-
markable substantial advantages for increasing
In wealth and individual prosperity, without
the Iisk Of periodical cOllapses, such as that
now weighing it down, in which lis profits of a
decade are so opt to be swamped in a Single
week.

tutions from purchasing the notes Of other incor-
porated Banks at less than par.s

The BALTIMORE MUNICIPAL ELECTION The
reader is referred to other columns of the Star
to-day for details of the murderous and dis
graceful rioting in Baltimore yesterday, and
to the pithy comments of the Baltimore SIN
upon it, which we extract If the theory of
our government is really applicable to the pop
ulation Of American cities, the infamous pros
titution to which American liberty was put in
Baltimore for jacobinical ends yesterday, must
produce an immediate reaction there by which
the integrity of American institutions in that
city will be duly vindicated otherwise, few re-
putable members of society will hesitate to
conclude that our experiment of free govern.
ment, so far as the city Of Baltimore is con.
eerned, is an unfortunate failure-that she is
no more fit for self-government at this moment,
than the population of the New York State in
stitution at Sing Sing.

That Premium Tale.

Several weeks since we offered pre-
MUM of Fifty Dollars for the best orig
inal story written for the Home Journal
by the LIST of November. Since then we
have received the manuscript Of two
which compose between rs and 100 pa
ges, while we have also received letters
from six or eight others, requesting u
more lucid explanation than the offer
made in the paper affordel.-To all
Of the letters we have responded. and by
request of three or four, We ifffs week
change the time given for writing the tale
from the first of November to the frs,
day of December following. Several
who wish to "try their hands" did not
see or hear Of the offer until within few
days past, and consequently desire that
we give them "a showing" So now the
offer is fifty dollars for the best original
tale written for the Home Journal by the
LIST of December next. We would pre-.
fer it to make not less than enough TO
fill 10 or 100 pages of common novel
size. We would also state that we claim
the privilege of retaining oil manuscripts
that may not be successful,
