4 writer In the Chicago Times aud Herald in
undertaking to account for the overwhelming
defeat Of the Democracy, aEsigns, among other
reasons, the following:
By far the most effective, Cause Of our de-
feat was the most alarming corruption In the
Democratic party. There Is no need to deny
the fact- We had most intolcrablc o7aus Of
corruption to weigh us down. Tie inyestiga-
tion Of the Covode Committee Was most ter
ri;'ly against us; and our opponents were ex-
ceedinyly active In the use Of it as weapon.
Influenced by this corruption, many, yes, very
many, Of our own party voted aggalnst o'tr
nominees.
In Illinois, Mattcson's operations, and tue
great nse made Of them By our opponents, iD-
jured us greatly In fact, NC were so corrupt
that not an Office could he filled with an hon
est man From coroner up to President the
most shameful wire pulling and corruption
were practiced. No wonder, then, that VT
were defeated. It was time that our party
should learn to prevent such corruption. It
WIS time for us to purify ourselves, and it is
almost amentably true that VIC have not only
not purified ourselves, but VIC have allowed
our enemies to purify us, by putting us where
VIC will have to suck our thumbs in bitter dis
appointment, and learn in adversely what We
should have learned in prosperity.
This is certainly true to the letter, so far RS it
goes There were other causes Of defeat, how
ever, not less potent and no less discreditablc
than the one pointed out. 1t is to be hoped
that SO candid writer will not stop short Of
going through the catalogue. Out with it
now! An honest confession ia good for tho
soni.

a correspondent Of the Galveston Neaes,
writing from Independence, Texas, October
21st, gives the following skeich Of speech,
delivered thcrc By Governor Houston:
In regard to the recent raid and inccndia-
rism in Texas, he said it had been exaggerated
and misreprescnted by the letters Of !" that

was, that there Lad been bHt one white man

er had been vial or bottle Of poison found
in the possession OF any other l.e:grocs lu this
State-thus intimating very clearly that tho
Others that were punished were unjus.ly pun
fshcd.
As to the house burninss, 1t had been report
ed at ono time tl:st there vera fourie cen houses

there was only 4 siaanty OF shed in the out

The following luminous explanation Of tie
causes which led to the defeat Of the Demo-
cratic party, We clip from the Times and Hf7.
aid of yesterday:
Prominent ar;ong the causes which contrib
utcd 10 our defeat was the division Of our
ranks. We were working In TWO divisions, aud
each division desired the other to bear the
brunt Of the batt1e and be defeated. Our enc
mics Ind divided themselves into two dfvls-
Joys. One Of these divisions attacked our
Northern wing, and the other division was at
sacking our Southern wing. It was fault,
then, 10 diyide these wings from the main
boly Of the party. For even II our Northern
wing had defeated the division Of the enemy
opposed to it, and the Southern wing had de-
feaicd those opposed to It. yet, being separated
the opc from tie other, there would have been
no unanin.it; OF action subsequent to the BAT
tie, by which the salseQuences Of the victory
might Aayc been followed VI. The result
shows hoT diFastrously the sepaIst1on has
worked.
The writer in the New Tork Times who he
came ine1tricably cntanslcd among the "EI-
bows Of the Aincio ~ aud the "Sympathics Of
fonti,," was scarcely less to he com1nisserated
than the author Of the above.

Robbery Of a Nail bag at saudove].

The robbery Of the mail bng at Sandorel on
Tuesday night, brief mention Of which WIS
made in yesterdays telegraphlc news, was one
oftle coolest operations Of the kind that has
lately tn,nsplred. The bag which was stolen
was from Dubuque, and came over the Illinois

being placed underneath the other two. The
bags were in charge Of the Mail Agent, and un-
der his direction were wheeled Immediately il,
front Of the small station or eatin.house TO
await the arrival OF the train from Cincinnati.
The mail agent was seated inside the station
house, the door Of which waa opan, and th,.
truck containing the mail bags was not morn
than ten feet from him. Passengers were also
moving about IN The vicinity during the whole
time, but on the arrival OF the train for St,

had been stolen, and that too, from within ten

the missing bay, and after general searching
OF the ncfghborhood the ba;, was finally fouui

same subject. They treat with the grossest
indignities, drive out and sometimes hang
school teachers and clcrgymen, simply for
diebelieving IN the divine origin Of their
peculiar institution" Two millions Of free
men have just elected IN able, just and
in all respects IN accomplished statesman
to the Presidency, and for the reason that
South Carolina cannot dictate to him what
opinions he shall hold, she would, had she
the power, destroy the glorious Union
founded by our fathers, and involve the na-
ton in all the horrors Of civil war. Did
impudcncc and consummatc folly ever be-
fore attempt anything SO utterly fiendish
and abominablef
The 'modesty Of the demand made by
South Carolina to dictate the opinions
which more than twenty millions Of free
men shall adopt, is sufficiently ridiculous.
It becomes intensely absurd when il is
known that this determination to control
the thoughts Of the country has been
formed by 100000 white people MI told
less than three times the population Of Chi
cago. The world may well trcmble before
the power Of this wrathful State, for in 1850
it had the round sum Of 145, ,0o4 white male
i1lhabitants, which, according to the ratio Of
increase for the previous ten years would
give 150 900 all told now. Deduct those
under twenty and over sixty, and VIC have
about $4,000 able 10 bear arms. When
enough Of these are detailed to guard the
peculiar institution and to carry on the
commerce Of the Empire" how many
will there be left to fight "the rest Of man.
kind?" And then there is that fostering,
fussy, pestilent little city Of Charleston, the
head and front Of MI this secession bluster,
low supremely absurd does her cavorting
appear! Why she has, all told, not as many
white people as there are in the first and
second wards Of Chicago. What she lacks
in real strength she makes up in mere
sound and fury. Again We call attention
to the modesty Of the demand by the 30O,~
600 white people Of South Carolina to con-
troll the opinions Of more than twenty mil
lions Of frcemen. 1t il IN example well
worth the study Of all future generations
