The Corporation EiectiOs,.

The corporation election last Monday
resulted in the success Of the entire dem
ocratic ticket by majorities ranging from
80 to IS over the republican ticket, and
from to Ii over both the republican ard
fusion tickets. The latter was a very weak
affair. and only served to demon trate the
malice Of those who concocted il. and the
folly Of their followers. We deem it due
to those who were put IN non nation by
this new hormaphrodite faction, to ga
tLat they all, with the exception of Ban.
bington and Boyd, promptly repudiated
tic concern as soon as informed of theil
nomination, and that their names were
used without their knowledge consent OF
authority The scheme was concoc.ed BY
few dissatisfied men whose claims tc
flee had no Teen fa7crably listened tC
by their party friends, and who were
therefore anxious to show their spite even
at the expense of their consistency. They
have made their effort, ingloriously failed
aud it remains to be seen what foolish
thing they will do next In the meantime
