Kansas ELEcTIox.-The election held in
Kansas on the I'd inst, resulted in the relec-
ton of the English 6r;Ee By an oyerwhelm-
ing majority, which will reach, it is judged
from returns already received, at least 10 900.
Not a single county, as far as heard from,
had given a. maiority for the measure, and
lin many the vote against it was almost
ananimous. According to the declarations
of The Democracy the kansas question is

FRAUD IN THE ST.. LOUIS ELECTION
The evidences of fraud in the St. Louis e.
lection are conclusive. Ia four wards alone
the returns exhibit an increase of Demo
cratic votes since the April election of near
ly 1000. The Democrat of Tha
says; -
A canvass of the poll books, with the ex-
ception of Curondelet, which will increase
the aggregate about 800 votes, shows the
enormous total of 1878 votes against 49,
1853 in 1856. Again: it is seen that Mr..
Blair has increased upon his vote gradually
at every poll, receiving $500 this year, "a
gainst 5000 in 1856; getting votes where
the party strength lay, and fuiIing to get
them where the opposition prevailed hereto-
fore. 1t thus demonstrates u natural in
crease on his ticket of 500 votes. Mr..
Breckenridge polls a larger number of votes
than did Mr.. Kennel Two years since. But,
on the other hand, Mr. Barrel finds his sup
port in just those localities where his purity
never had any strength before, and where it
is known not to have it now. From 2,lSl
In 1856, it is forced up to $500 in 1853

the policy Of the past year, that Administers
lion has receded rather than advanced, in
public favor during the interval.

MExIco.-The Mexican civil war
still rnges, but moi with impetuosity.
The tagging energies Of the people
are giving out under the frequent
drafts upon them for men and means.
We agree with a sensible cotempoFa-
ry in its views: "The government is
without money, and the clergy prom
Use two millions more to prop il up
About $4,000 men, il is said, are in
the fieId-tweive orfourteen different
"armies"-seme $1,000 on the Fed
erai side; and some $4,000 on the
Government side; but the end OF the
war seems TO be as far off as ever"
The TACT is, the Mexican people
are unfit for. and incapable of self
government, and hence all attempts
for "a republic," or anything like il
must ever end in civil war. There
is moi intelligence enough in the coun-
try, or il there were, there Is not the
m0terieii in tie mixed races of CASTLE
and Arragon, and Indian and African.
Mexico must either go back TO bar
barism, as ia the days of Montezuma
and Guatumozin, or come under the
proteciorate OF the United States.
The latter event might help them
to reconstruct the Republic on a more
solid basis. and give them, at least for
a time, quietude. At present the
