LETTER FROM NEW rORK.

Special to the New Orleans Crsscentl
NEW YORK. Oct. l6 1868.
AS matter Of course the result OF the late eec-
tons is occupying the minds of almost every body,
TO the exclusion of everything else. Business is
totally parayzed, and all attention is given 70 the
momentous subjects which are involved in the re-
suit OF the presidential election next month. It is
quite true that the Radicals are ahead a, far az
votes 20, but unless they hold that " a miss il as
good as mile, /" il il equally true that the Demo
Gratis are ahead. Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana
have thrown much smaller majorities for the Re-
publican party than the party anticipated, and
when allowance is made for the OUTRAGEOUS
frauds pracuced by them in Pennsylvania, and
which they tried to charge TO the Democrats by
the old game of thief crying "stop thief" the
Democracy may congratulate themselves IL thew
did not win the State they polled a heavy vote.
which in former years had gone Republican.
The election Of John T.. Hoffman as governor OF
this State is foregone conclusion, In spite OF
anything that can be brought against it. No man
has ever had firmer hold upon the people, ir-
respective of political opinions, than he and
although the October elections have gone slightly
against Us, II is hardly fair criterion of what can
be done in November.
The Radicals make great hue and cry over the
$40 600 given by Mr.. Helmbold, of this city. to the
Democratic cause. OF course he must be reviled
and all sorts of abuse heaped upon him, and all
because he has made a great part Of his fortune
out Of the Radicals and they consider il base in-
gratitude in him to thus help the common cause
OF constitutional government, rather than to keep
bis money within the folds of red hot disunion
and revelation.
There is no mistsking the fact that the RAIDS,
elated by partial success in the late elections are
raising heaven and earth TO carry this State 10
November but they will just miss it this time for
the Democracy are alive TO the necessities Of the
hour, and hard work from now until the fourth of
next month viii be the consequence. We want the
bold, undivided support of every single Democrat

g7e Us The day. This Ia the way the people feel
here after the late elections, for defeat of the
Rad Gals would have been SO easy when success
was so near for the Democrats. that it makes one
feel sadly disappointed that there was not quite
steam enough on the one hand, and a vast amount
OF fraud on the other. EYES AND EARS.

The Five AGIilion Bill.

Tie official journal of the last days session of
the Senate, as published in the Crescent of to-
day, contains Senator Braughn's verbal report
from the committee appointed to inquire into the
attempts at bribery in the matter of this BILL ia
which he mentioned that Senator Lynch and he
went out of the Senate, while in session, to ex.
anime into this matter, g. Senator Bacon refusing
to accompany us.n
This report was verbal; and IL verbal state
menis are to go in the Journal it should. in justice
10 me, have shown what said when refused TO
leave the Senate when appointed to investigate
this matter. IL is well known that had persis.
teniy and almost alone, fought all those features
of the bill which were the subjects of objection
by the governor, and upon which the veto was
based, and one effort had been made to order the
previous question. l therefore refused to leave
the Senate chamber, and thus lose my chance to
yo'e to sustain the veto, taking out two oppo-
nenfs Of the bill to one friend of it.
This said from my place in the Senate when
appointed upon the committee, and IL was moved
that the committee should leave the chamber to
make the examination.
lpresume that the president and secretary Of
the snats will have my remarks interpoated in
the journal where the appointment OF the oom-
mitiee is stated, as there is no session to be had
now in which to have this ordered. What said
was as much part of the proceedings as was the
report of Mr.. Braughn, and said IL as a member
OF the committee. | respectfully ask the city
journals to do me the justice to give this an in
sertion. A r. R.coN

The ADDRESS OF THE GERMANS. pub
lish elsewhere the Address of the Germans
of the South to their fellow-countrymen in
the North and West" In both style and
matter it is very creditable to the German
Democratic Central Committee of this city,
from whom it emanates. We can not doubt
that the appeal will be largely effectual in
bringing home to the Germans elsewhere the
horrors of Radical policy in its practical
effects upon their countrymen in the South.
If they want to liberate these countrymen
from barbarous despotism-if they want to
open the South to German emigration-they
must vote against Radicalism.

Is there not a city ordinance which pre-
the streets at a faster pace than would tend to
the safety of foot passengers who may be
crossing the streets? If there is, why is it
not enforced2 The other day boy was run
over by butcher cart on Magazine street,
and every day carts, drays, hacks, private
carriages and buggies can be seen tearing
furiously along, their drivers either utterly
forgetful of the law, or entirely regardless of
it. Can not this be stopped?
