The I,a,e Penetrate Gains.

The latest telegrams from Connectieut
report decided gains in the town cleo
tions for the Conservative tickets, as
compared with last year. This matter
would hardly be worth alluding to were
it not for the bogus kilograms OF the
Tribune, claiming Radical gains when
the facts are the other way. There is no
sense in electing Town constables on ma
tional issues, nor should said contest have
any political Significance. That they
are watched and used in partiZan war
fare showes serious defect in the work
ings of our institutions, for considera-
tions of personal fitness are lost when
purely local concessions are dwarfed by
questions affecting national politics.
The Radicals have certainly reduced
living about elections to o science. lt Is
popularity supposed that the Vermont
and Maine elections show enormous Rad.
ical gains over last year, when the fact
is that increase of votes is largely in ia
yor of the Democrats In Maine, for in
stance, the per cenfage of increase was
twenty. five per cent. infavor Of the Con-
servatives, and ouly five per cent for tbs
Radicals.
All this Radical lying is to help them
in the October elections soon to take
place. 1t serves to create an impression
that the country is with them, which
reacts upon subse quent political contests.
The Tribune of yesterday must have he'd
new hand at the wors ofiBventipg the
bogus kilograms from the various points
in Connecticut. He inserted the phrase
"my policy Ito nearly all of then
thing very unlikely to occur were the
dispatches really to come from separate
points.-M. Y World.

sidered, however, the best man in town.

Representation,

The white citizens Of New York, I'LL
nois, and other Northern States may
vote for and represent the alien populs-
ton. In Tennessee; one third th, white
citizeks vote for and represent the other
wo.tbirds. In Maryland and Missouri
one-half votes for aud represent the
other half. At the North, under the
amendment, population, not suffrage,
remains the test of Representation while
at the South, striking out from a third
to a half of the Southern population,
suffrage is made the test.
This Infamous swindle was driven
through the Senate in its midnight eau
ouses, Republican Senator'S protesting
against its outrageous unfairness, but
voting for it under the party whip, be-
cause it was not intended or expected
that the South would agree TO the
amendment. 1t was so framed In order
that its passage might be impossible
Yet now the Republican party, wholly
given over to its Radical leaders, has the
affrontery to call it "'the Congressional
plan Of re. union" and the pseudo Con
servatives, who are sneakiDg back to its
ranks, have the measureless baseness to
call it impartial and fair. ~ 7. Rorld

Mexican News.

New YORK, October GA Paris letter
of the lSth ult says. In consequence
of some important news received from
Mexico on the 18th of thepresent month,
the Emperor of France, who had already
despatched General De Castilian, his
aid-de.camp, to Macmillan, sent HIM an
order by telegraph to come back to ST.
Cloud, where his instructions were to be
revised and modified. Marshal Random,
the Minister of War, was present at this
interview. which, it is asserted, was Of
the most important character. Accord
ing to version generally accepted,
based, it is understood, not merely upon
the critical condition of affairs in Mexi-
co but also upon the firmness recently
assumed by the Cabinet in Washington,
the intention of the French government
is to bring about a speedy settlement of
the MeXican question so as to get
rid, as soon as possible, of a
perpetual subject Of solicitude and
annoyance, To this effort the feet OF
transports collected at Brest and Cher
bourg, for she purpose of embarking
and Drinking back to France the first
installment of troops, is to be largely in-
creased, SO as to be capable of carry.
ing the whole French contingent, and
to evacuale Mexico all at once all that
will remain of the French army will
be small guard at each of the haTbors,
where the custom house duties conceed-
ed to France Ivy Maximillan, are to be
collected.
Such are, am assured, the measures
just adopted i'll reference to Mexico. I
must say, however, that the Paris par
tiss are not quite Of that opinion, and
say on the contrary that General De.
Castilleno's mission has not for its Oh
ieet to put immediately an end to the
luteryentigu OF French in Mexico.

After coquetting for long tiUo W.
General Grant, and employing in vain
every arlifce to inveigle him into couu-
tenauciDg the use of his name as the
Radical candidate for the Presidency,
the Radical wire-pullers have been conn
PEELED to look about for some other mill
tary ehieftain to Ially around, After
seaTching in vain through the long list
of military heroes who have achieved
honorable distinction in the field, they
have settled at last, for want of n bet.
ter, upon Major.General Benjamin F.
Butler, the great bottled up" who
never fought battle nor won a victory.
This is q nomination most eminently Ut
for the Radical Disunionists to make.
General Buffers experience is sowing
the seeds Of disunion in the Charleston
Convention, in 1860, proves him an
adroit and unGcrupulous DisuniOnlst :
His former panyegyrics upon the Divine
rights of slavery render him peculiarly
sincere in his present advocacy OF un-
qualified negro suffrage and his admin.
istration of affairs at New Orleans ex-
emplifes very strongly his aptitude at
confscation. The nomination is sigu.
larIy appropriate. Butler is tie per.
