The windinx Up Of n bankrupt Empire.

The next mail from Vera Cruz will probably
bring US the news Of the embarkation of Maxi.
milan for France. The fact OF a conduga con-
tanning two million Eve hundred thousand
dollars in silver having preceded him to that
port puts an end to any further DOUBT as to his
movements. Instead OF submitting minfully
and gracefully by a formal act Of abdication,
he has sneakcd ont of his capital to avoid the
French commissioner, and he Is likely 10 quit
the shores OF Mexico without even thanking
those who have made such heavy sacrifices in
his behalf. No more digni6ed exit was TO be
expected from the wearer of diadem 6lched
as his was. He will meet with a. little sym
patty In his misfortunes rs those monsrchs
with pasteboard crowns who strut their brief
and shadowy existence upon the stage.
This lame and impotcnt conclusion 10 the
programme sketchcd out by Louis Napoleon
for the advancement OF European interests on
this continent has been brought about by the
general sentiment Of the people and press Of
this country The President was the first o
give effect TO IL in the communication which he
addressed to the French Emperor about twelve
months since, and in the message which he
sah-Annsnily Sent 10 Congress. To him belongs
the credit OF having brough, this dangerous
and critical condition Of things to an end The
State Department can claim nothing OF il; for
when he took i up IL was allowing the ques
ton to drin into complication which must
have eventually resulted In war between this
country and France.
The departure OF Macmillan will promptly
be succeeded by the arrival at the Mexican
capital OF the three American commissioners,
Mr. Campbell, his secretary, Mr.. Plumb, and
General Sherman who have been appointed
by tho President 10 conclude the arrange
ments for the evacuation Of the country by the
French. AZ the questions to be discussed in
volve military a. well as diplomatic nlcctIes,
a more fitting selection could hardly have been
made What Mr.. Campbell lacks In acquant-
ance with Mexican character and institutions
will DO supplied by Mr.. Plumb, who has passed
several years In . diplomatic position In that
country, and General Sherman will, no doubt,
be found equal TO the rest On the part Of the
Emperor Of the French they will have to deal
with Marshal Baxaine and General Castelneau,
the one man OF frank, decided manners, and
very much resembling Sherman IN character,
and the other an accomplished diploms,, whose

The CHARTER ELECTION AND ruR MILES
O'REnLY DENocRAcy.--Th immense>majority
OF nearly twenty thousand recorded against
the corrupt 'ringr 10 the election OF "Miles
0'Reilly" as Register settles the issue OF the
charter election. There never was so power
mi combination against the corruptions OF
Tammany rs that which elected General Hal
pine over the present incumbent of the Office,
Fernando Woods man, McCool. 1t IL the first
grand and crushing defeat that the 'ring" has
yet had, and II destroys its ascendancy forever.
There will be no difficulty now 10 beating
Brennan for Comptroller II December by the
same majority that defeated the other "ring'
candidate, McCool, on Tuesday. Men Of all
parties opposed to Tammany corruption ought
to unite In electing q Comptroller, Aldermen
and Councilmen at the charter election Ia De-
cember on IN anti-"ringr ticket, and we have
no doubt they will do 80. The people are evil
IDENTIFY ripe for such = move. Let us have .
strong Miles O'Rcilly democracy" composed
OF all parties, united upon one point--hostility
to the ring" and Its hydra-hcaded corrup-
ton-snd we can defeat Comptroller Brennan
and oil the other Tamnany candidates by
majority Of twenty thousand. That viii be
great triumph and happy radiance Of the
blood-sucken Of the city treasury.

THANK Con THE COUNTRY Is SAvADl-Since
the election great many respectable old gen.
tlemen, politicians and others, are thanking
Heaven and saying their prayers because the
country is saved. The country never was in
danger. II is not in danger now. The people
had il in their keeping, and that was enough
to insure its safety. Witness the Gasco Of
Forney in Maryland, the fasco Of Butler in
New York, and the nascos Of Brownlow and
Jack Hsmilton and the rest of them oil over
the land. These fellows ell intended to make
mischief, but not one Of Thorn succeeded.

TnE FIRM OF WEED AND SEwARD.-The old
established firm of Weed q Seward, once doing
a lucrative and respectable business, has at
last gone to pieces and is hopelessly and help
lessly bankrupt Its paper is protested and it
has not enough assets to pay mill on the
dollar. II would be farce to apply for the
appointment of receiver, for there is nothing
to receive and as the bankruptcy extends to
its credit and its promises to pay will in future
bear no marketable value whatever, AL idea OF
reviving the business is at an end.
Mr. Seward ought to leave the Cabinet at
once. The longer he delays the more damage
he will do to President Johnson and to the
country. He has been defeated in his own
State on an issue made by himself and he
should be willing now to step aside and give
place to some one who will impart tone and
character to President Johnson's administra-
ton, by settling up the Mexican question and
the Alabama claims in prompt and statesman
like manner We want vigorous and earnest
man in the Secretary of States Department. and
Mr.. Seward lacks now more than ever these
qualifications. He should take leave of WASH
ington and settle down quietly at his home in
Auburn for the rest of his life. Az TO the other
member ofthe firm, Mr. Thurlow Weed, he had
better follow the example of Senator Wilson
and join the church. His political life may
supply him with ample material for repentance
and atonement and q seat in church Is more
easily secured than = membership in the Man
haitian Club.

Mn FESroS AFrsR THE ELkcrroS.--Mr. Fenson
has been reelected Governor Of the State,
though he has escaped defeat only BY the skin
Of his teeth. His election Is due not TO any
virtues Of his own or to any respect on tho
part Of the people for his political abilities It
L. due solely to the fact that he was accident

FoRNEY's FIAsCO AT BALrIMoRE.-The Cheva-
lier Forney and his radical friends have signally
failed in their plots and plans at Baltimore.
They evidently intended to excite riot, pro-
woke the President to interfere, and then make
this interference the pretext for impeaching
him. This scheme was worthy Of meddling,
malicious, intriguing incendiary like Forncy,
who is willing to disgrace the whole country
In the opinion OF the civilized world and again
drench the land in fraternal blood, If he can
thereby crafty his personal spite and achieve
his political purposes. This Forney Is a can
didate for United States Senator from Penn
sylvania, and his chances, which were always
exceedingly small, have been totally destroyed
by his connection with the Baltimore fasco.
General Cameron ought to be and probably
will be elected TO tho Senate instead Of For
ney. The good sense and good temper Of the
conservative people Of Maryland and the tact
and frmness of Governor Swami have averted
all danger OF bloodshed and secured for the
conservatives a substantial victory. General
Grant may also be thanked for his excellent
advice but we do not approve Of his media
ton in civil and political affairs II Is q bad
precedent for the head Of the army to step out
Of his sphere in this way, and although in this
particular instance his interference has resulted
happily, yet We trust that he will never again
consent to place himself in position 50 liable
to be misconstrued by people always ex-
trcmely sensitive in regard to the actions OF
military men In times Of peace.

suavity and conciliatory disposition eminently
ct him for tho disagreeable duty which he has
to discharge In the settlement Of the terms
upon which the evacuation Is to be effected,
the amount of claims to be guaranteed by and
Of territory to be csded to this country, con-
siderable time probably several months)
will be consumed. In the meanwhile the
Presidency will probably be allowed to re-
main in the hands Of Juarez until the sense OF
the country can be taken as to the expediency
OF continuing him In ONCE, or else OF suDstitu-
ting him by some other statesman who may be
more generally acceptable. Until this can be
done any efforts that may be made to push the
pretensions Of other candidates will only re-
suit In disappointment.
In the treaty by which these arrangements
are to be guaranteed we trust that special re-
gard will be shown towards the interests
which have been acquired by foreigners in
connection with the internal improvement Of
Mexico. OF this character are the Jalapa Rail-
road, undertaken by Mr.. Holiday; the Orizaba
Railroad, commenced by Barron & Co. the
Seward Express Transportation Company, and
the Lower California Land Company, in which
Messrs Barlow, Sanford, R. J. Walker and Mar
shall o. Roberts are interested Enterprises Of
this kind are so intimately bound up with the
future progress and welfare Of Mexico that the
grants under which they are organized should
be specifically protected. 1t will not do to
leave them to the tender mercies Of Mexican
rulers, intent on grinding out Of their share
holders the last cent Of their earnings.
In the completion Of the work that he began
by the firm and emphatic tone Of his represen-
tations to the French Emperor, President John
son has established title to the gratitude moi
only Of Mexico, but of the people Of this
country. Certainly no act that he has per-
formed since he assumed the duties of his high
Office will rebound more to his credit as o
statesman.

To-DAY's RACES AT JEROME PARK.-The
closing races OF the season will take place at
Jerome Park, Fordham, to-day Among the
riders. Now that we are sending our sport
ing men TO Congress, the gentlemen who used
to be considered eligible for such positions
have taken to the turf, and the race to-day is a
public recognition and Inauguration Of this
new ere. We have no doubt that the
crowd Of spectators will be immense. The
weather promises fairly, the road to the
Park IL in capital order and so well
watered as to be free from dust, and the
ladies, who have become the most energetic
patrons Of Guido sports, will muster in great
force and display their unique and
elegant fall costumes. We hope that
in view OF the condition Of the road,
our swells will not consider II neces-
sary to wear their blue or green veils
and that they will also appreciate the truth Of
the remark that shirts covered with pictures
OF dogs heads and buttons embossed with
horse heads are not indispensable to an oc-
casion like this. Wells are very well In Eng
land and France, where the roads are very
dusty but our swells should not be imitators
Of foreign fashions under such very different
circumstances. The track at the Park Is
favorable TO fast running to-day tho grand
stand eclipses any In Europe In Its comfort,
beauty and accommodations the amateur
hurdle race will cause great deal Of sport,
and the whole scene will be one Of unrivalled
picturesquene" and interest No one who
welcomes the revival Of classical tastes and
genuine races In shis metropolis can afford TO
be absent from Jerome Park to-day. A few
more such meetings, and the trotting tracks
will be either abolished or trrnSferrcd to wash
ington, with their patrons, durlng the sessions
