The Imperial cause in Mexico has just gained
great success in the utter defeat of Escobedo ana
Trevns by Gen. Meiia, who had occupied Monterey
and was preparing to attack Cortnas and Canalcs in
Maamoros At the latest advices, fight for the pos
session of that place was imminent. Close upon this
intelligence comes the report from New-Oreans that
Gen. Sheridan has information of Maximlian's

What effect, if any, Mejas victory will

showing a Radical majority of %, $40.

To this majority must be added the vote of the
discharged soldiers. In 1866 only 1863 out of the
1896 soldiers Of the State voted. This year Mr..
Drake expects that a, least ninetenths of the non
voters Of IS65, or PILL will vote He allows one
tenth Of the soldiers vote to the Copperheads, and
expects, accordingly, an accession to the above Radi
dal vote Of $40 soldiers votes which would swell
tho Union vote 10 S5,O33, while one-tenth of the SOL
diers' votes O. I'D would swell the Conservative vote
to 1884, giving Radical majority in the State of
1879.
Another addition to this Radical vote may be e1-
pected from returning Union men who, dunng the
war. had been driven from their homes and from the
emrants who are now pouring in so large numbers
into the State. The majority to be received from
these two classes Mr.. Drake estimates at 5000, in
orcasng the Radical majority TO 4i,739.
We hope the inspiration which the friends of Free
dom and Progress in every State of the Union have
inhaled from recent glorious October victories
will aid the Radical Republicans of Missouri to verify
the sangune aniicipations Of the Hon. Charles d.
Drake.

THE MEETING LAST NIGHT

The great Union meeting last night was worthy of
the cause it was intended to aid. The Republicans
of New. York are in earnest, and they have every
reason to be active They have long been in the mi
norty but it is no longer hopeless. The gains we
have made in the last few years. the profound disgust
of honest men of all parties with the Democratic county
government, the great reforms the Republicans have
begun, are all reasons for greater hope and energy
In this canvass We have also advantages hitherto
unknown-a just reorganization Of our Assembly dis
tricts, County Committee which is not the instru
ment Of few ambitious men, and Registry law
which will do much to compel honesty at the polls
The Union party in this city, thus encouraged, has
begun the canvass with spirit which every day
should increase. s-..--.y
Cooper Institute was crowded last night and three
stands outside were surrounded by thousands OF
people. The enthusiasm was unbounded, and the
report we give to-day of the proceedings will show
the equal earnestness Of speakers and auditors.
We print in full the able and eloquent ad-
dresses Of Hamln Wilson and Iremaln.
That Gov. Fenton and Gen. Fremont were
not able to attend was unfortunate, but the
excellent letter of the former is before the public.
Letters Of congatulaton were received from Cows.
Ward, Hawley, and Curtin. There was an inspira-
ton in this grand meeting which should make every
Union voter thorough in the hard work before US.
The Union victory which began this year with
Connecticut, and was carried on by Vermont,
Maine, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania must DO
as gorously ended BY the nine States which are to
vote in November, and it is In the power of the
Unionists of New.York not only to reflect Reuben
e. Fenton by majority Of $4,000, but to increase
the number of their Representatives in Congress.

srprrr cOuuIssnNER cORNELL.

Mr. Cornell in his card in reference to the grave
charges preferred against him by the Citizens Asso-
ciaton, says that the penalty OF holding Office IN
this City is TO be assailed by selfconstued eensors"
If the officials of this City were as honest as they
should be, or if those Of them whose duty II is to
prosecute crime discharged that duty, it would not,
perhaps, be necessary for selfconsttuted censors
to take the matter in hand. But Mr.. Cornell
must not object to these " seh-eonsttuted
censors - for he should recollect that our
whole government is seli-constituted." Per
haps however Mr.. Cornell is believer in the Divine
right of rulers and especially of the Street Commits
soner of the City. But as our officials are almost
all in the Ring" people must look to themselves
for the enforcement of the law.
We feel some curiosity as to the answer Mr. Cornell
will make to the very damaging charges preferred
against him. In our opinion, the tenth charge
as TO his building bridge in the marsh
one the line of One-hundred- and fifty -fthst.,
under the pretext of working it as country road, is
unanswerabe. This bridge begins nowhere and ends
in the same place. II is inaccessible at both ends,
and would be of no use even If completed. Yet
Mr.. Cornell FILTERED away Sl2,535 % nominally
upon this bridge and has left it standing there rotten
and rOttng. NOBODY else mas Dccn dulo w gov o'oi
thus bridge, and we should gladly like to know by
what process in acrobatics Mr. Cornell will perform
the feat.
We do pot aec upon what hypothesis Mr. Cornell
caS explain away the spending of SlOO,262 81
in the years 1868, 1864 and 1866, upon four
miles of Boomngdae Road Against this vast e1-
pendture, the Commissioners OF the Central Park
spent in tho Same years but S96,3l2 SO for keeping
about fourteen miles of road in far better condition
than Bloomingdale Road and of these fourteen miles,
nine miles are carriage roads of more than double
the width of Boomingdale Road and are subject to
more wear and tear.
Mr.. Cornell will find the Bloomingdale hard road
TO travel especially if he fails to show what became
of the - OOOi loads of gravel and stone alleged to
have been put upon it in twenty-seven days in 1863.
According to the sixteenth charge against him, Mr.
Cornell seems to have been "sprinkling the public
dust ct the rate Of 81 900 a month for every four
miles. Perhaps Mr.. George Caulfed could be in
duced to sprinkle all streets at the same prce, II
we would buy the carts of him at $500 apiece.
II was unfortunate for Mr.. Hoffman, but good for
our people that he should have been indebted for his
nomination to such men as Cornell, Tweed, and
MorrsseY. Better for Mr.. Hoffman not to have been

MISSOURI.

The Hon. Charles ID. Drake, being prevented by the
opening of the Fall terms of the Courts in St. Louis
from addressing the people in other parts of Missouri
has published letter to The Radical Union men Of
Missouri on the probable issue of the approaching
election. There are few politicians of Missouri who
have as thorough an acquaintance with all parts OF
their State as Mr.. Drake. We are therefore glad to
hear that Mr. Drake is not only confident of victory,
but that no thinks the Radicals will carry the State
by more than forty thousand majority. Represents the
following computation Of the vote in 1866, on the
adoption of the State Constitution:
Lincoln voters who did the Constitution 20 40
Mcclellan voters who did not vote the Constitution 21S9

VINO SENT THE FORGED TELEGRAMl

The history Of the forged telegram published by
The Philadelphia Ledger fully proves that that paper
had conscious part in the fraud, but was itself
victim of the hoax. 1t has traced the dispatch to Mr.
A. NJ. Flint, one of its Washington agents, who was
unable or unwilling to give The Ledger any satisiac
tory account Of the manner in which he obtained his
information. 1t is generally supposed that Mr. Flint
invented the whole story yet he asks suspension
of opinion, it is right to give him the benefit OF the
doubt But that benefit is of little worth. Mr.. Flint
published questions in bis telegram as being in the
exact language Of the President yet conesse that his
whole dispatch was based on rumor His past be-
hayior ia against him. During the war he was the
Rebel correspondent of The Ner. York Herald, from
Baltimore, and was denounced on the floor OF
the House, by Mr.. Boutwell, Of Massachusetts,
as Rebel reporter. lie is now the correspondent Of
TheN Y. N,us These are facts which are important
for the public to know they show that this forgery
originated with friend Of Mr.. Johnson'S policy, and
The Washington Chronie. intimates that FInts
"frsnkness in confessng so grave an ofienSe would
almost suggest suspicion that he had previous

Extremes meet. While Mr.. John Bright, the
Quaker. is setting before the English people the
merits of our American system of Education, the
Roman Catholic Council in Baltimore discuss the
proprety Of establishing ecclesiastical organization
specially for the emancpated Blacks. To be sure, in
the first instance secular and in the second religious
education is contemplated, but take it for granted
that in this country, at least you cannot have the
one without the other-that intelligence will come
with religion and religion with intelligence, and with
both increased public safety and prosperity. At any
rate there seems 10 be general willingness to admit
that the Blacks have souls to be saved. which,
in turn, implies minds to be cultivated The
Mcthodists, the Presbyterans, the Roman Catho-
lies, the Episcopaans, the Untarans, the
FreewilI Baptss, are all getting ready to enter the
field which emancipation has onened. Of course the
