THE CAUSES OF BLACK-REPUBLICAN DE-
FEAT.

The explanations of the New York Tribune aud 9th.
.er Black Republican papers in regard to tho over.
whelming defeat of their party in the various State
elections which have been held this year, have called
forth the following satisfactory and conaollng response
from the Journal Of commerce
"In all the elections recently held the most unto.
ward circumstances seem to have c%onspired to defeat
the black. republicans. They admit having been bad.
~ beaten, but they couldn't overruie The circlm-
Stances. and this ia a sufficient and comforting excuse.
In Connecticut it rained in some places. The demo-
Gratis turned out en- nlasse and voted. The republicans
.knew enough TO stay in when il rslned,' and though
thew thus saved their boots from the mud they lost a
victory.
"In Pennsylvania the Quakers didn't vote.
"In Ohio, busted with this financial storm raging
through their State, the republicans by thousands ne.
elected their political duties. Their opponents atten.
ded to THERE and won. Having no interest in the mon
etsry pressure, and no money TO lose, they, OF course,
had nothing to do but vote.
In Kansas the republicans were dragooned out OF a
full victory, and the Missouri ruiliaus helped the dem.
ocrats.
ain Iowa The republicans unfortunately had a mi.
nority OF the votes. They were also busted with inan'
cial matters.
.Minnesota ia uncertain. 1t will depend upon the
character of the returns whether any apology or excuse
will be- necessary on the part of the republicans.
Notwithstanding the apparent reverses, however,
the republican party is still strong and vigorous, and
has made immense gains since last fall. ~ These
facts will be made apparent at some future day

PILLOW VS.. SCOTT.

Gen. Pillow has replied to the card published by
Con. Scott denying the charge that he caused SlO,Ooo
to he paid to Santa Anna during the Mexican war as
a peace bride. Gen. Pillow ~reiterates his charge that
So 900 was paid through Mr.. Trist to influence the
negotiations for peace, and that a further larger sum
was proposed by Gen. Scott to be expended in aid oil
the same object. Gen. Pillow now quotes from state.
ments made by Gen. Quitman and Gen. Shields to
sustain his charge. Gen. Shields, whose statement
corresponds with Gen. Quitman's, says that while the
army was at Puebla Gen. Scott invited him and &C.
veral other officers to his head quarters, and, after
some talk about future operations, Gen. Scott read a
letter from Mr.. Trist to himself. in which it was sug.
gested that the Mexican authorities were destitute of
means, and that the writer, Mr.. Trist, had a good
reason to believe that a judicious application of mo-
new would enable US to obtain a peace, and request
ing Gen. Scott to use his efforts TO raise a million or
a million and a half Of dollars for that purpose
Gen. Scott having read this letter declared himself in
favor of the project, as the only means OF prosecu'
ting q speedy and satisfactory peace. He stated that
he had means OF raising the money, and that, under
the circumstances, the course was Jnst!fddte in point
Of principle and erpedcncy. He also stated that he
had already applied a small sum, say ten or trenty
thousand dollars, and that he regarded it as bread

STUDYING HUMAN NATURE.

The Buffalo Republic tells a story which we don't
believe, but it is so good that it is worth repeating,
simply as a joke:
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, dressed in very com.
mon clothes, was studying human nature as exhibit.
ed in the highways and bye ways of New York. In
the course OF his philosophic peregrinations to went
into a mock auction shop. He stood awhile on en-.
tering. and reflected, doubtless, how any one could
be SO lost to all sense of truth and honesty as the
auctioneer in question, endeavoriug to palm or his
worthless trash to the inexperienced in city ways, as
good and valuable, aud finally the auctioneer called
out "Mr. Beeeher. why don't you bid ~ lie was
greatly astonished, as we can we'll imagine, nj find.
ing himself known in this place, and, as he had sup.
posed in p~urposely careless dress. Ho Immediately
left, and started for the residence Of one of the mem
beers OF the church in the neighborhood, and request
ed him, az all act of kindness, to go down and enquire
of that person who had sold himself to Satan for the
love Of gain, how it was that he knew him in his dis
guise. The %neighbor kindly consented, and ON en-.
tering the 'Peter Funk" shop he addressed the auc.
tioneer:
"How is it that you know Henry Ward Beecher 20
well as to be able to recognize him in his disguise !"
"now do l know him. Why, / hare been a mem.

DEATH or JOHN B. MARTIs.-We are panied to
announce the death of this distinguished artist and
most es,inabls man. Mr.. Martin died on Wednes-
day night. lie was a native OF Ireland, and came to
this city when a young man. He was by profession
n copper- plate engravsr, but turned hs attention to
the art of painting, and by perseverance, and study,
unaided by those advantages which are derived from
intercourse with masters and study in the schools OF
art, he rose to a position of eminence that not a great
many attain, even with the best OF opportunit ies.-
lie was one of the very best portrait painters
es in this country, and han left behind him pictures
that will hand down his fame to future generations
His portrait of Chief Justice Marshall is a master
work, and would alone attest his superior talents in
his profession. "
We knew Mr.. Martin well, and admired him not
only for his abilities as an artist, but for hs personal
worth. He was a most excellent gentleman, upright,
honorable and sincere in his Intercourse with his
neighbors; and as a Christian, benevolent, charitable
and devout. He was possessed Of the most unbend.
ing integrity, and he blended with great trmness and
manliness of character a kindness and frankness of
demeanor that endeared him to his scquaintances.-
His life was an industrious one, and he raised and
educated a large family-most faithfully discharging
his relations as its head. No parent ever more per.
sistently kept before his children, both by example
and precept, the lessons Of virtue, and he was re-
warded before his death by the happy results of his
Jealous devotion to their welfare.
In Johu B. Martin the grave closes upon a truly
pure and honest man, and one who was ready to 20.
