Democratic.
Total

In that election Missouri was carried by the
emancipationists, and Delaware, although elect
ing republican Governor, cast Congress
sional majority for the democrats. 1t will be
seen that neither Vermont nor Maine afforded
any indication Of the great change about to
take place in the political sentiment of the
country, but that the revolution commenced
with the October elections. 1t will be the
same this year. Vermont amounts to nothing
Maine Is important only in so far as the demo-
Gratis have made a hot contest there and may
be discouraged by bad defeat. But on the
18th of October, when the voices Of the men
of iron, the Hoosiers and the Buckeyes make
themselves heard, we shall know whether the
radicals are to be hurled from power or
whether the stupidity and stubbornness Of the
democratic managers are to check the revolu-
ton foreshadowed last fall and occasion the
re-enaction of the election of 1864.

The political, moral and social condition Of
the Southern States is bad. Confusion, dis
trust and approximations Of something worse to
come prevail from Virginia to Texas. A
committee of the Tennessee Legislature, for
instance, has just waited upon the President 70
ask the protection Of force of United States
troops against the Ku Klux Khan. The blacks Of
Georgia are in state of effervescence in con-
sequence Of the expulsion of the African mem
bers from the Legislature. In Mississippi and
Louisiana the white democrats, on the other
hand, appear to be making some progress with
their free and equal barbecues in gaining over
the blacks. In Arkansas and Texas, II we
may believe half that we hear, scenes of vio-
lence and murder are the order of the day and
the night. In short, there is no peace in tho
reconstructed or unreconstructed rebel States.
In the experiment Of reconstructing them up
side down Congress has thrown them all into
confusion worse COMPOUNDED, and probably.
after all, we shall have to fall back upon the
practical good sense of General Grant for q
peaceable and satisfactory settlement Of all
these Southern troubles

The City Markets.

We are glad to hear that the Common Coun-
Gil have instructed joint committee to inquire
into the condition of our city markets and to
report at an early day what measures are
necessary to increase their efficiency and en-
large their facilities for business. We say we
are glad to hear this, although we suspect the
design Of this inquiry is only to cut out another
big job of spois and plumber to our .pora-
ton rings. We are glad, however, Chat the
attention Of the Board has been called to this
subject in this definite shape, because some
thing good may come out of ii. Our city
markets are fifty years behind the age, includ-
ing buildings and conveniences and the laws
and rules by which they are conducted.
Washington Market, especially, instead of
being an object of pride and an ornament to
the metropolis, is apublic disgrace, little better
than a public nuisance, unsightly, cramped,
unfit and bad in every way and the most in
convenient and dirty in its approaches and
difficult of ngress or egress of all the markets
in the United States. We are grat6ed, there
fore, that reform In our city markets has been
officially preached, for, big job or small job,
the community in this matter will welcome
almost anything for change, provided
always that Il shall not he Court House job
in regard of time, but change promptly
pushed forward and speedily finished, like the
HERALD building or the new Jewish temple.

The Emperor Napoleon in the Camp ut
ChnlOns.

Tho Emperor Napoleon in the Camp at
Chalons.
The great sensation Of the hour In
France is the camp at Chalons. The
Emperor has been there for some days.
One of the cable dispatches of yesterday
informs us that the Emperor had reviewed
the troops in circumstances of great ex-
element and amid the widest demonstrations
Of enthusiastic loyalty. From the meagre de-
spatch we can easily see that it was grand
affair and that the Emperor had a fine oppor-
tunity of forming an opinion Of the strength
and efficiency Of his army.
Taking other things into account, it is ex-
stration from some warlike intent on the part
of Napoleon. Considering the excited condi-
ton of Europe and the peace assurances which
for some months past the Emperor has found
it necessary so laboriously to repeat, this
Chalons affair, If II does not mean war, must
be considered very ill-advised. To those who
have never been deceived by Che peace as
surances Of the Emperor and his hirelngs the
demonstration at Chalons appears OF all things
the most natural IL is certainly desirable be-
fore entering upon great campaign that the
chief of the State and the real head Of the
army should, by personal inspection, satisfy
himself of the strength and efficiency of the
forces at his disposal. Now that every branch
of the army is equipped on the most
approved principle, and that the Emperor has
seen with his own eyes what artillery, cavalry,
infantry, engineers, sappers and miners can
accomplish, we may confidently expect some
startling speech on the occasion of his leaving
the camp. A speech he will make; and 1t is
not too much to say that on this speech the
peace Of Europe now depends. No one can
deny that the aspect of affairs is warlike.
| The rumor that Queen Isabella OF Spain is to
be privileged with an interview with the En-
peror on an early day is in perfect harmony
with this view of the situation. We know how
| great her troubles are We know how Bit
tery abe is opposed to the policy of the Italian
! government. We know that she has already
promised to protect the Holy Father in the
event Of the hands of Napoleon being tied by
I a war in the North, as If her protection meant
] anything, or as IL the Holy Father needed any

The Coming October Elections.

1t is generally conceded that the coming
October elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Iowa will virtually determine the
result of the Presidential election. The hope
of the democratic party is in movement of
the people of the Western and Middle States
for change in the policy of the government
extensive enough to sweep away all past re-
publican majorities and turn the great States
over to the democrats by overwhelming votes.
Such thing as q close contest is improbable,
and hence it is clear that if this tremendous
revolution is to come at all it must show itself
in the State elections we have named. In
view of these facts glance at the results in
1862, when similar reaction to that now
predicted set in against the republican party,
on account of their mismanagement of the
war and alleged official extravaganza and cor
ruption, will be of interest at this time.
We find, then, that Vermont, which led off
in the election of 1862, gave twenty-six thou
sand republican majority, being an increase
over its majority for Lincoln in 1860. Maine
followed with thirteen or fourteen thousand
republican majority. But when the October
elections came Pennsylvania, which had given
Lincoln sixty thousand majority two years be"
fore, turned over to the democracy by nearly
four thousand majority; Ohio changed its
twenty thousand for Lincoln into six thousand
for the democratic ticket, and Indiana, which
had given Lincoln twenty-four thousand over
Douglas, elected democyatic officers by ten
thousand majority. This was the beginning
of the revolution, and 1t was followed by SINH
lar results in other great States, 80 that had
President been elected in 1862 the democrats
would have been successful by the following
electoral vote, based on the elections of that

enormous income, the temptation of which led
him afterwards to show undue favor to every
rufian and thief brought before him who
happened to possess political influence in any
Of the city wards. This case is only one of
thousand similar illustrations of the evils Of
q short-termed elective judiciary.
The citizens of New York are wealthy, en-
terprising and liberal. They care very little
how much it costs to govern their city or how
heavy their taxes may be. They have seen
their local taxation mount up in eight years
from four or five million dollars to twenty live
millions. They find to-day that the local taxa
ton of New York city, with its one million of
people, is twenty five dollars for each resident,
while the national taxation amounts only to
about twelve dollars per head on the popula-
ton of the United States. In other words, they
find that their municipal rulers rob them
just twice as much as they are plum
dered by the radicals, whose corrupt and
reckless government forms the theme of so
much democratic indignation. Yet the electors
and property owners of the city 60 on, year
after year, voting into power the men who
steal on the most magnificent scale. It re-
mains to be seen whether this Indifference will
continue now that the easy dispensation of
criminal justice encourages different class of
robbers to band together to burn down and
plumber citizens dwellings, or whether the
people will carry the frightfnl condition of the
metropolis into the general election here and all
over the State, and elect Governor and
Legislature possessing the power and the will
to abolish the present municipal government
altogether, and put New York into the hands of
a commission such as now manages the Park
There is no present hope of city reform except
in this direction.

WHARF AT Hno.-The landing of passen-
gers and goods at the Harbor of Hilo has been
facilitated by the building of short wharf
from the rocky point at the west end of the
beach. 1t has been made by the enterprise
of Mr. Coney and Mr.. Hitchcock, and has
proved such aconvenience that the Hilo peo-
pie are wishing to see it extended, or another
one built at the usual landing place Land
ing on the open beach, especially in rough
weather, is uncomfortable for passengers, and
damaging to goods, SO that a wharf is a most
desirable improvement upon the present way
of getting ashore. The wharf just built is
well timbered and fastened, and carries six
feet of water. Its strength was tested by the
great earthquake wave Of Thursday, and by
a loaded scow washing upon it, and it proved
equal to the strain. Wharfage, hereafter, will
be one of the charges on schooners running
to Hilo. We hear that an application will be
made to the Government for assistance to
still further improve the landing facilities at
Hilo, so that either good boat or schooner
wharf may be placed Oh the beach. The
wharfage will amount to enough at least to
paw interest on the investment and repairs.

DOMESTIC SERvANTs.-Among the reforms
now proposed in England is one respecting
domestic servants, whose extravaganza in
dress, depravity in morals, and unrelia0ilitv
of conduct, have become uncomfortable. A
cergymans wife has therefore started re-
form movement, and makes an appeal TO the
ladies OF England to join in carrying il out.
The great evil in dress, which, among the
lower orders, has arrived at a pitch of ex-
travagance, has changed the appearance of
English towns and villages. Ladies are ex-
horted to fix upon some standard CT dress TO
be strictly enforced, for female servants, Of
some neat, suitable pattern. but in which all
superfluities shall be prohibited. No servant
shall be allowed, on pain of dismissal, to
wear flowers, feathers, brooches, buckles or
clasps, earrings, lockets, neck-ribbons and
velyets, kid-goves, parasols, wristbands and
sashes, jackets, Garibalds, and all trimmings
on dresses, crinoline, or steel of any kind.
No dress to touch the ground. Let dresses
be gored, so as to make the figure neat and
small Let the hair be worn off the face, in
the fashionable style, and neatly bruided close
to the head behind. A small, round, white
cap, without ribbons or trimming. No pads
or frisettes, no chignons, mo hair ribbons or
yelvets.
The same system is recommended for girls
in the Sunday schools, church singers, vii
lage schoolmistresses, and the lower orders,
generally.
On the other hand, we have in Bristol
paper an account of a strike in gentleman's
family in the west of England, of all his ser
wants, thirty in number, not for higher wages,
bat for better food. These poor creatures
were starving on five meals day. They had
eggs and bacon, toast, bread, butter, tea and
coffee for breakfast; bread. cheese and ale
for lunch; hot joints of beef and mutton and
pastry for dinner; toast, bread and butter for
tea; meat, bread and cheese and ale for supper.
The demand of the deputalion was for beef
steaks and mutton-ehops for breakfast As
the gentleman was expecting distinguished
visitors and did not know where to get other
servants in season, their demand was COM
piled with A vast army of fiunkies is fed in
this fashion, while English laborers and their
families are starving on eight or ten shiliings
a week. and great numbers OF the Irish are
snbsisting on potatoes and water.

1t is proposed to start company in Paris to

That which has been used in stopping teeth.
There are buried in Paris every day more
than l25 persons. 1t is reckOned that of
these at least ten have auriferous jaws, and
that in these ten there may be an average of
ten auriferous teeth. So the calculation pro-
ceeds, and Paris is threatened with a resurrec-
