The Richmond Wing has a long edi-
torial on the recent election. 1t says
that only one person offered to votewho
had been in any way connected with
the Government of the United States
during the war. He was asked whether,
when he left the city in 1861, he pur-
posed to return. He replied that he did
not know, at the time of his leaving,
whether he should return or not. The
Wing says the GninlLs geOcrtendi was
wanting, and his vote was properly re-
jected. The same paper also says that
not more than q dozen or fifteen votes
We're rejected at the late election, upon
any ground or for any reason whatso-
ever. And these were the votes of men
whose residences, as they admitted to
the commissioners; were in other States
or in other counties. - zs-r--
Even if all these votes had been. re-
ceived the result couldanot have been
changed. So the Wing thinks wrong
was done in abrogating the election.
AS to the alleged secession proclivities
of the candidates elected, the Whig says:
Out of the .thirty-one persons elected
TO office In Richmond last week, there
were not much, if any, over half do
zen w no were either active or passive
secessionists before the war. An over
whelming majority of these successful
candidates were, on the contrary, ener-
getic and ardent Union men, who sus-
tanned the Union cause and voted for
Union candidates, without any tiyaria
bleness or shadow of turning,H until af
ter the commencement of hostilities he
tween the two sections. And after thai.
as did almost everybody else, under fiji,
ty years of age, they went into the mill
tary service of the Confederacy, and
discharged their duty as became SOL
diers and gentlemen. And after the
war was over, they returned to their
homes, resumed their several avoca-
tiOns, subscribed the amnesty oath and
the oath to support the restored govern
ment of Virginia, and resolved, in all
honesty and good faith, without, we are
satisfied, the slightest mental reserva-
ton whatsoever, to conduct themselves,
in all respects and at all times, as loyal
well-meaning, peaceable and law -abid-
ing citizens of the United States. An
such they were at the time of their cleo
ton to office, and such they are to-day,
and such they will be found to be in the
future. f--7[T

EXPERIENCE shows that disease, like

EXPERIENCE shows that disease, like
empire, always pursues Westward
course. All the great epidemics that
have afflicted the human race orfgina-
ted among the dense, low fed, and fill
thy populations of the East. and have
extended westward until checked by cli-
mate influences. The course OF cholera,
which excites scarcely SO much alarm,
or rather preparation, AS 1T should Illus
trates this law. It originated among
the ha1f-starved workmen on the Suez
Canal, who were hudd1ed together by
thousands under circumstances that
would naturally engender disease. It
has spread Westward steadily. We
hear of its being successfully at Jerusa-
lem and Constantinople, and we may
anticipate its. speedy appearance in
England and New York. GAlready the
State Department has received warn
ing from our Consul at Port Mahon, the
first stopping place in the Mediterra-
mean of Eastern travel, of the appear
ance Of the scourge in that place, in
spite of the stringent quarantiner egula-
lions adopted. .5s''t
Later news dispels the reports of the
mild character of the disease. At Alex
andria and Cairo, respectively, the NOR
tality was thousand a day, with a
proportionate fatality in the intermedi-
ate towns. The population was terror
stricken, and all that could were fleeing
from the country. In Syria, the dis
ease had not yet assumed an aggra-
waited form, but all the indications point
ed to the worst results of former cpl
denies.
The intelligence that our Government
has ordered General Sheridan to make
n reduction of his forces as rapidly ms
he can, takes the wind out of the sails
of those alarmists who have been as
serting that we were going to plunge
into war with Maximilian; and drive
him pell-mel out of Mexico. 1t was 6
gross abuse of confidence in the gentle.
men who held n meeting in New York
last week, to read in public:a portion O.
a private letter of General Sheridan
He has n perfect right to cherish the
views therein expressed and to com1nu
nicate them to his friends. But they
had no right without his permission .tc
make such use of his letter that his
words would be telegrapheds all over
the land. However sincerely he may
believe that MaximiIian ought to be
driven out of Mexico, he knows his
place as military officer, and will take
care not to cause any needless imbrog-
los between his men and the FroncE
troops. The order of the Government
removes every suspicion that the French
or others have cherished, that our large
force in Texas was to be sent across the
Rio Grande. The recent French papers
show that a good deal of anxiety was
felt at Paris on the subject. But oul
Government is too wise to seek for
eign war at this time, when the result
for which alone the war could be un
dertaken, bids fair to be accomplished
without any effort on our part.
