legged Frauds. n I.rsU an

Such victories as have been gained by
the Republican party in the late election,
will ultimately result in the ruin of that
organization, for not only have they fallen
off largely even by their own figures, but
they have resorted to a fraud so giaring
that all honest men cannot fail TO con-
denim them for the Courier, 3D. inst
y We were highly gratifed at the re-
suit of cur City election, and have
not been disposed to exult over our
defeated opponents, who have already
experienced sufficient chagrin;; but
after the publication of the editorial
IN the Courier, from which we make
the above extract, we cannot justly
remain silent.
The hrst statement is that the
election indicates that the Republican
party has fallen off largely, even by
their own figures Let us see. One
year ago the majorities for the candi-
dates on the Republican ticket were
as follows: City Clerk, 3e5; Treasurer
1877; Collector, $50; Marshal, ZIG: no
candidate for Surveyor. On Monday
last the majorities' for the Repub.
lican candidates were: Clerk / O74 !.
Treasurer, 265; Collector, 42O: Mar.
shall, ST. Surveyor, 327. It could
not, with truth, abaB claimed that
the vote !. for either CLERK or
Marshal was a fair test of partv
strength. A comparison. of the. votes
for the other officers will show a Re
| publican gain for 1867 Of near 100.
The City Council stands the same
as it was last year, SO that in no view
of the case can it be established that
we have lost anything. But it WILDE
seen by an examination of the official
returns published elsewhere, that in
| the First, Third, and Sixth Wards,
which elect Democratic Councilmen,
the Republican city ticket, except the
Marshal, received majority. In the
Ninth Ward, which also elected
a. Democratic Councilman, a por-
ton of the, Republican city ticket
received majority. In 1866 the Re-
publican City ticket received a ma
jority in six of the Wards; in 1867 it
received a majority in eight of the
Wards. 1t is well known by all and

Eisgraceful Bargaining!

How some combinations have been
secured in the United States Senate
has been a mystery to many Republi-
cans in this part of the country The
following paragraph, which we find in
the Washington correspondence of
the Cincinnati Gazette, may enlighten
them on this point: ssaie
The trading among Senators, Represen-
etatives and the President has been on, q
great scale during the last few weeks, and
still continues. Most who voted directly
or indirectly against impeachment and
against Summer meeting are being re-
warded. When no such claims for service
rendered the President exist, compro.
mise is demanded: by which Senators
must agree to the continuation OF John
son man for every Republican appointed.
Some of these bargains are utterly dis
graceful Many members are still here at
tempting to get the Offices in their districts

Purchase OF Russian America.

The telegraph brought us the in
telligence on Monday morning that
the President had sent to the Senate
for its, ratification an important
treaty with Russia, by which the
whole of Russian America is convey
ed to the United States for 100000
in gold. It covers an area 49,
278 square miles, equal to that of all
the country east of the Allegheny
mountains from Maine to Mississippi
inclusive; ten times as large as the
State Of New York; and would nearly
double our coast line.
The New York papers of Monday
all comment upon the treaty at length.
We make the following extracts,
which will be read with interest. The
Tribune says it is an attempt of the
ADMINISTRATION to cover up its fail
ures at home by stroke of foreign
policy; and gives Mr.. SEWARD the
whole credit for the project. 1t says:
The collapse of the Presidents
home policy is so total and so disas-
trous that attention must be diverted
elsewhither at any cost. Russian
America is a good way off, and, so, a
good place on which to fix the public
eye. The getting of all this land of
fers us no advantage that can coun-
terbalance the objections to the
treaty, when we come to deal with it
as matter Of public policy of grave
moment to this Republic. The OBJ
jections to it may be summed up
briefly:
y /. We have more Territory than
we want. T"f4
2. The tendency of Republics is to
expand beyond the limit of economi-
cal control. To the already vast do
main embraced within our jurisdic-
ton, it is proposed to add territory
sparsely inhabited by Indians and
traders. 1t is a luxury we are in no
condition to afford. g5 "a uori II 4
3. But it is not even luxury. We
have literally no use for this territory,
if we acquire it. In peace, such oc-
cupation will require an enormous
outlay to maintain a warlike estab-
lishment. In war, it will prove alike
useless for aggression, and an incum-
arance for defense. Against what
jewellers at the North Pole do we
propose to commence campaign?
4. The territories we have acquired
from Mexico-Arizona, New Mexico,
&c.,-have cost US great deal more
than they give us, and are to-day a
drain upon our resources instead of a
help to them. cas- e5 10 9a

The Connecticut Election!

A ray of light from the East warns
the well nigh frozen heart of the De-
mocracy of the West. Connecticut
has elected Democratic Governor
and three out of the four Congress
men to which the State is entitled.
We do not blame the Democracy for
rejoicing. 1t has been long time
since they had the, opportunity of do
ing so over any election in any Of the
New England States. Cow HAwLEY,
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, has been defeated by small
majority-abeut the same by which
he was elected last year. We do not
propose to attribute the Republican
defeat to any Seventh Ward frauds"
We may say, however, that it was not
regarded as improbable. The party,
in some instances, was unfortunate in
it's selection of candidates, and was
forced by a few impracticable men to
adopt a platform that was not pala ia
Bile to many of the Republicans of
the State. In addition, the Demo
cratic candidates for Congress were
men of immense wealth, and were
nominated with the express, under
standing that money would be spent
freely to secure their election. The
result has justified the expectations
of, the party leaders. In small State
like Connecticut, full of towns, where
money can be spent for electioneering
purposes, with marked success, it is
not strange that the thousands spent
by the Democratic candidates for
Congress resulted to- their advantage.
Under all the circumstances, it is a.
little strange that Gov. HAwLEY was
not worse beaten: aaya &
We think the result viii prove
beneficial to the Republican party.
1t may open the eyes of some of its
Representatives at Washingtos to the
fact that the impracticable, and, IN
many instances. unwise notions of
men like SUMNER and BUTLER are
not acceptable to a great number of
Republicans, even in the New Eng
land States. IF it does not do SO,
and they persist in forcing their i'm
practicable ideas upon the party, we
MAY hear of more and worse defeats
than those which have overtaken US
in Connecticut. Y" arc

conceded by every candid Democrat
that, butfor the dissensions or indiffer-
ence in our own ranks, the Republi-
can party would have carried seven
out of the nine Wards. And no
member of that organization doubts
but that with cordial and enthusi-
astic feeling, and harmonious action,
the Republican party would have
carried the entire ticket by majority
of between four and FIVE hundred
votes
The second statement which the
Courier makes is that the Republi-
cans resorted to fraud so glaring.
that all honest men cannot fail to
condemn them for the act. And it
proceeds to specify this I" glaring
fraud" as follows a emca
There is not one particle of doubt-not
even in the mind of most credulous-but
that the Seventh Ward was illegally car
ried. There has been polled in that ward
eighty more uotes than eUer resided withia the
boundaries Of the same. ss- $. birrs
If our contemporary will now do
what he ought to have done before he
made such a wholesale and unequlvo-
cal charge as the above, examine the
official returns of 1866, he will find
that the total vote spolled in the Sew
renth Ward, for City Marshal, was 383;
and for the other offices about the
same. For Councilman, the votes poll
ed were 375. In 1857, the. votes
cast in the Seventh Ward for the
Union Offices ranged from $50 to 391;
for Councilman, 307. We fail to find,
in this comparisons. proof Of the
Curriers' assertion that there has
been polled in that Ward eighty more
votes than ever resided within the
boundaries of the same" So far from
that being true, in twelve months, if
we judge of the election, the Ward
has barely gained ten votes. IF our
,neighbor will examine the official
returns for 1866, he will fluid that
while we lost the Councilman from
that Ward, we carried it for our city
ticket by majority of from forty to
sixty votes. We do not, then, charge
that the ward was lost to as. by fraud,
but by the unfaithfulness of our own
party friends, just as we have this
year lost the First and Thiftl w ards.
Mr.. KoLLE is true Republican, and
an active worker, and received, as he |
deserved, nearly the full party~ote.
We: are sure the Courier will be |
of its charge when it exam
ines the official returns; and we hope |
for the credit of journalistic truth, it
will have the candor to- relieve Mr..
KoLLE and the party from its unjust
and totally unfounded charges.
