The KENTUCKY ELECTIoN.-As the details OF
the election in Kentucky gradually come to
hand, the evidence accumulates in regard to
the great conservative triumph in that State.
1t further reveals remarkable discrimination
OF the American people ut the ballot box. The
election was carried in that State precisely ON
the same platform that the elections were car
ried in the Central States in the fall of 1862.
We doubt, however, II an election in any State
was ever held under such peculiar ciroum-
stances as that in Kentucky, or with result
more emphatic.
In the first place, the radicals find very few,
If any. sympathizers In that State for their
peculiar schemes. The policy of the Niger
heads is repudiated by ninety-nine hundredths
Of the people. The election, therefore, came
around with an administration in power whose
policy, under the control Of Chase and
the radicals, the people condemn; but
they were called upon TO choose be-
tween Union and secession, and the result
Is such 81 every true lover of the Union can
we'll feel proud Of The returns show that
they not only repudiated secession, rebellion,
dsunion, copperhcadism and the revolutionary
doctrines Of the South In every form, but that
they also decided to furnish the administra-
ton at Washington, which they detestsd, with
all the aid within their power TO prosecute the
war for the destruction of the rebellion and the
restoration Of the Union simply because that
administration Is the only legal power to look
to for the accomplishment Of that result. But
in doing this they were careful not TO elect
any man who sympathized with the radical i.
policy which now seems to be the platform
Of the administration. On the other hand, they
elected only such men ~ repudiated in the
strongest possible terms all such hcrcsies.
These facts only 60 to show the revolution
that IL going on in the public mind against tho
two extremes, or the radicals, Of both parties.
Those who imagine the people can be led
around NJ the will Of politicians In times like
thess very much mistake their character. They
think for themselves, and the great m~s
stand On the same platform. They desire
10 see the rebellion crushed OUT and
the Union restored; and, while they support
the administration-the oaly legal power TO
look to for that work they detest its radical
ism and despisc its heresies. This only fore
shadows tho revolution that will develop itself
when The day arrives TO elect the successor TO
Mr.. Lincoln. The revolution will be one with |
out parsllel in the history Of the world, and
" verdict viii be 70 overwhelmingly against |
the candidates Of the present sdnainlssrauon |
that they Themselves will wondex hat they |
wore allowed - remain In po~cr % lsax. ]

Poor GREELEY AND THE RIoTs-We continue
to-day our reports Of the trials Of the rioters
Some Of tho London papers, following the lead
Of our radical journals, represent that the riots
were sort of revolution. Our reports show
the utter falsehood Of such assertions. No
leading politician, no representative man, has
yet been found connected with the affair. The
whole thing was spontaneous outbreak
against the draft on the 6rst day, and an or.
gained outbreak OF thieves on the other dava.
We also give this morning the indictment
found against one OF the rioters on the evidence
Of Horace Greeley. This evidence q vsrv
curious and quito characteristic of the 7riIur,
philosopher n will be remembered that IN
his paper poor Greeley declared that
be had never been frightened BY the
rasseu; that be walked braveIy through
them, and thst he wess 10 and IRON his once

when under oath, poor Greeley swears that
The rioters assembled Ito disquict, disturb and
terrify" him, and that he was "disouIeeed, die
turbed and terrified" BY them. Which are We
70 believe. poor Greeley's word or bis OATH
The trial Of one Of those persons accused or

HIoHLY IMPoRrAST-TMs OProsrlon TO rHu
ADMINISTRATIONS IN A MAJon tn IN CoNoREss.-
We publish to-day In our SUI umary Of news q
tabular statement of the result 81 the elections.
showing that in the next House o. Representa-
tives the administration will be In . minority
by six votes. The consequence win be that
the opposition will elect the Speaker, AID, the
Speaker having the power of appointing the
committees, these committees will investigate
the entire conduct Of the administration sincA
their accession to Office. The course Of the
War Department and of the Treasury Depart
ment will be subjected to rigid scrutiny, foul
corruption and egregious laundering will be
laid bare, and those Secretaries who have
hitherto paid no respect to the voice of the
sovereign people, as expressed at the ballot
box, and have laughed public opinion to scorn
will be brought to strict account by the
representatives Of the people and be made to
laugh with the other side OF their mouths. But
perhaps they will defy the House Of Represen-
tatives, and bring on prematurely the crisis Of
their fate. We shalt see. Meantime radcalism
and copperheadsm are equally knocked in the
head by the elections, and the platform Of the
opposition in Congress will be the restoration
Of the Union upon the principles of the con
stitution.

A LIBELLER OF THE CRY COMPTROLLER DIS
POSED oF.-In small weekly paper, Mr.. Bren-
nan, the City COMPTROLLER, has been attacked
recently in successive numbers, on the ground
that he disposed Of certain bonds of the city
privately and without advertisement, thus IA
voring his own friends and shutting out public
competition. The attention of the Common
Council was directed to the subject by one Of
its members offering a resolution calling for an
explanation. The resolution was adopted Tue
Comptroller's reply is a remarkable illustration
Of very plain tale, putting malicious libeller
down. Instead OF the bonds in question not
being advertised, it is shown that they were
advertised in twenty-three papers, from June
IL to the goth, The day fixed for the opening OF
proposals, and that they were awarded to the
highest bidders, except to those whose bids
were below par, and that the remainder OF the
bonds were negotiated at par with various insti
buttons Of the city.
Now, what was the motive Of the libeller in
making this foul attack? It was because he
wanted to have finger in the spos, and wac
not permitted TO do so by the Comptroller, that
gentleman, Judging from his antecedents, not
having sufficient confidence in his character.
Some years ago he was elected Alderman by
accident, and for some act which he committed
when he was Alderman he was indicted not BY
accident; but the jury disagreeing by accident,
he thus escaped tao State Prison by accident
Recently he was elected member Of Congress
by accident, and we have no doubt that by
some accident he will 60 to Washington. for
what purpose it Is 81 present unnecessary to

EXCAVATIONS Il; THE COMi'TROLLERS OPYJy
AND THE PoLrTIcIASs.--Seyeral reporters have
been busying themselves Of late in making ex-
cavations in the Comptro.ler's Office. They
have brought to light several aflidavits in re-
gard to fees den anded and paid for positions.
On some OF these afi1avits the name OF Fer
nando Wood turns up ss having hand in tine
business or at least in a suspicious form. II il
well known that the election OF Comptroller
Brennan was secured last fall by union be-
tween Mozart and Tammany halls. The Offices

were sent to him These Developments bring
to light some Of the perquisites Now, that they
have commenced, We trust the Comptroller
will cali up every clerk in his department. The
result, no doubt, will be curious aud in
teresting, and furnish the world proof how
many New York politicians live, which hero.
tofore has been one OF the mysteries.
They are old tricks, just unearthed, heretofore
known only to those in the ring. We have NO
doubt, II an opportunity was afforded to see the
inside workings Of the republican ring SINH

All persons, male and female, known to

was respectfully invited to attend the cere-
