The Ceusessences OF t'Ae Late Election and
the Defeat Of Rsdica Iism and Prohibition
The Probable OrgaI lixntion Of the Legisia-
tarc.
BosroN, Nov. 9, 1867.
The confident antkipations which have been
heretofore expressed in the HERALD that radical
ism would receive decisive rebuke in Massacku-
sets have been ALLY realized in the result Of the
late election. 1he triumph Of the liberal ticket
was far greatenthan the most enthusiastic or san
gune had dared TO predict, and II of course tells
pretty emphaGically that the people have exercised
patience in submission TO an infringe ment upon
their FrivsGs rights until that stimabie quality
has ceased to be . virtue. The majority
OF the people are Of course highly eiated
oveS the result; and their demonstrations
of delight have been prolonged considerably
beyond the time when election enthusiasm usually
eobsiGes. The obnoxious oonstahulary and pro-
hibitory laws, which have not for some months
been violated except inside Of locked doors, are
now beginning to be defed, and each succeeding
day witnesses the reopcning ef q dozen more
bars IN different sections Of the city. prominent
hotel proprietor, who has for months carried on
his sarroom en- the club room principle, threw
open the doors on the afternoon of election, and
has keeps them open ever aimee in defiance OF
peremptory orders from the constable to close
them. The official has not yet made any ATTEMPT
10 enforce compliance with his orders, and as long
"a the public feeling against him and his force is
so high 1t 70 probable he win not.
Many OF the RADICALS are not so much disbeart-
epee over the defeat Of their pet principles they
are indignant at the elect of certain men to the
Legislature. Ex-Adiutant General Schouler is
chosen 70 the Senate from one of the Essex dis
tricts, and win undoubtedly be made President Of
that body. IL will be remembered that over .
rear ago General Schouler was removed from
Office by Governor Bullock on account of his OPP
,nattr m ntrela ~ lof4
candidate for Congress. The act OF Governor
Bullock in causing the removal Of the General was
looked upon by men of all parties as most unjust,
and it will probably contribute greatly to the
success Of the General il he consents to be q
candidate for the Presidency of the Senate.

Senatorial candidates, was the favorte

the contest VIII probably be between
him and Harvey Jewell of Boston (republican).
Henry A. March, one Of the P. L. L. leaders, has
been spoken Of candidate for the clerkship Of
the House in opposition to William S. Robinson,
present incumbent. The latter official is very
popular, and license man withal, and il ID hardly
safe to assume that he will be dropped on account
of his extreme radicalism on national questions.
Among the certain changes which the Legislature
will make among its officers my be counted that
of sergeant-at-arms Major John Morrisey is the
present incumbent, and notwithstanding he is a
very efficient officer there ID q strange hostile feel
ing towards him, and the persistent attempts Of
former years to Dust him will probably be sue
cessful now.
Petitions for the repeal Of the prohibitory and
constabulary acts are now being freely circulated
in all sections of the State, and action will proba
bly, be taken upon them immediately upon the meet
ing of the Legislature. Mr.. Linus Child, who was
the associate counsel Of the late Ex-Governor
Andrew in advocating license before commit
tee of the last Legislature, is elected member of
the House from Boston, and win probably be the
leader Of the liberals. w.
The municipal election follows in few weeks,
and already the canvass has commenced. Mayor
Norcross will be rcnominated by the republicans,
and probably DIR. N. B. Shutlef by the democrats.
