How Now York city Was Carried.

When We read of the exposures oIthe
gigantic frauds attempted in the way
OF Registering ilIegitimate voters in
New York city, we are not surprised to
see the Democratic majority As or so, 900.
We are rather astonished that il is not a
hundred thousand. The only wonder
is TINT men who regard their personal
safety or the value ftheIr pocket books
ever go TO the polls in many of the
Wards OF that city. There is probably
not such another organization of "dnn-
gerOus elements" in tho world, rs the
sO.calIed Democratic" party of New
York city. Tho New York Times emu
merated ON Tuesday some of its ingre-
dients, and 1t attempted only cardi-
nal, not a specific, classification, and
yet even from these outlines the mind
of the respectable reader may well
shrink back amazed and Disguised.
When We think that every deadly vice in
. that city feels that its political Protec-
ton and existence depends chiefly on the
success OF the Democratic party, we
are filled with wonder how It is that
outside of the pale of vicious influences
any considerable number of people can
become affiliated with the party. New
York city contains in its cellars, gar
rets, tenement houses, and purlieus
generally, to say nothing about its fifty
thousand dOggeries, tho full explann-
ton of HoFman's immense majority.
And the explanation there found, ap-
plies more or less to every considerable
city in this country. The dangerous
clements" of society may not tester and
grow rank rs they do in New York,
because the soil in that city is a species
of alluvIal brought from every cline
under heaven, and the seeds sown take
root, and grow fast and dense, but to n
certain extent every city has n New
York element. and It is always found
AS in that metropolis, constituting the
main strength and chief dependence of
the Democratic" party.

It Is to the Germans OF st. Louis we
doubt not that the UniOnists owe their
splendid triumph, on Tuesday. They
led the van at the outset OF the great
conflict, in the early days OF Republi.
Canism In the Slave States. They were
the first constituency in the South to
send an anti-slavery man to Congress.
And although that representative has
since ALTERED, after having done good
service, yetwith all his acknowledged
ability aud with All theresources OF the
Federal Government at his back, he has
been poWerless 70 mislead or pervert
the German element OF st, Louis. They
did not mistake the issue now nor then.
They did not mistake It throughout the
war. They are now as ever, the Glib
raltar OF Unionism in Missouri, against
whichevery wave Of slavery and rebel
lion has dashed in vain.

A I,ertInent Question.

The New York Times on the morning
of election, TUESDAY last,) put this
question TO the Irish American voters
Ofthat city: .-s5... -
"Will any IFish-AmeFican as no goes
to the polls ask himself why he has so
persistentlY voted the Democratic ticket
at former elections, aud IUhV he IS going
10 do tie same tO-dGy3 Can he point out
ont a single instance in which the DEM
ocratic party has helped him in any
way2"
We think that IL must have puzzled
any candid Irishman who read the uues-
ton put by the Tunes to answer it sat
isiactorily. We would like to repeat
the interrogatory 10 large numbers of
them hero In our own midst, and ask
what reason there Is why any one of
them should have $50 persistently voted
the Democratic ticket" year in and
year outR Fleeing from oppression in
their own land, why should they SO te-
naeIously cling to the party OF slavery
in this CountryT
The Southern rebellion, for which the
Democratic party Is responsible, and
which in fact was nothing more norless
than a rebellion of the Southern wing
of that party, had it succeeded, would
have made this great free land differ
ent place than 1t now is for refugees
from oppression in the old world. 1t
was not inAugurated In the interest of
denONracy-true democracy we mean
hut of aristocracy. No poor man in this
country, especially foreigners, would
have had tho same opportunities In the
future had the rebellion Of the Demo-
cratic party succeeded. 1t was not un-
dertakeu to give. any man moro free
dom, but to curtail the franchises ofthe
masses. Over and over again was this
enunciation made in the conventions Of
thatrebellion. Why then, as the Tunes
pertinently asked, should an Irishman
vote with the Democratic partyF What
good has 1t over done himF What good
does it propose to do for himF

The Election ncturns.

We have sufficient returns to enable
US to announce tho following general
results:
Massachusetts has given the next
thing to a unanimous Union vote. OF
course nothing else was expected. New.
York gives us an uncertain majority Of
i've or eight thousand. This, like Afer-
culio's cat, will do, considering Hoff-
mans immense majority in the city.
New Jersey has given an increased
Union vote, and is now fairly on the
right side. A gain of two Congressman
is announced. Best of all, that intense
copperhead, Rogers, is beaten. Della
ware and Maryland are against us, by
what figures we are not informed
Michigan gives us 5000 majority, a
very large gain, and an unbroken CON
Rressional delegation. Illinois is re-
ported at 10000 majority on the Union
State ticket, with the congressional del
egntion unchanged. Wisconsin is
largely Union and shows heavy gains,
Kansas Is also with us, as usual. Mis-
souri, has done we'll as far as heard
from. Our success was complete in st.
Louis where a reverse was apprehend-
ed.
The foregoing is the substance of our
returns yesterday. Possibly we may
have further details before going to
: press. The situation is highly salts
factory as it stands. We regret the loss
y Delaware and Maryland, chiefly be-
4lsse It delays the ratification of the
Constitutional amendment, and to that
extent serves TO keep alive recusant
spirit at the South. But If delay is the
tactics which the sympathizers intend
to play against us, we shall have sim
ply TO be patient; that is all. The
amendment will go through three
fourths of the States sooner or lator.
Such is the verdict of the loyal millions
from Vermont to Kansas, throughout
the late elections.

The Chlcago speeulators.

We alluded yesterday to the unpre-
cedented fluctuations in the corn mar
ket, and to the fact that the price had
risen and fallen and 5 cents In ono
day. weobserve by our latest Chicago
exchanges, that the variation on Satur-
day last was sixteen cents. at one
time the price dropped to 50 and imme-
diately rose again 10 los. This equals
the fancy stock operations on Wall
street, and must astonish the "oldest
inhabitant' beyond expression. 1t is
rare indeed that staple commodity
like corn can be fluctuated in TINT style.
The fact only shows what an unstable
basis NIL values rest upon these days,
depending as they do on an inflated
paper currency for quotations from
hour to hour. Fortunes are thus made
and lost with lightning like rapidity,
and the end of a year sees a large class
of men who have produced nothing of
value to the world, but who have SIM
ply acted as so many Intermediates to
bull and bear the price OF the necessa-
ries Of life to the detriment of honest
labor. g5-.,
