The Result In Chicago.

In order to stimulate the Radical
voters to the utmost exertion in the late
Chicago city election, the Radical organs
urged that defeat then would mean
nothing less than defeat next November.
Now that the election has resulted in
carrying the city, and a Democratic
gain of five thousand votes, the follow
ing extracts, selected by the Springfield
Register, will be refreshing:
Remember that defeat to-day means
defeat next fall Chicago Tribune,
April 81.
While we write these words, news
comes that the republican policy of re.
construction has triumphed in South
Carolina and Louisiana. Shall it be said
that Chicago has taken a step backward
at the same instant of time that Charles
ton is moving forward to higher and
nobler civilization2 Shall it be heralded
to the country that the chief city of the
Northwest, renowned for its patriotism
during the war, has at last fallen prey
to its own copperheads2 Reader, if you
say no, 90 to the polls and do soldier s
work for the cause you have loved and
battled for in the past Remember that
defeat to-day means defeat next fall.
Chicago Tribune, ApriI2l.
Should we permit victory to be plucked
from our grasp by a parcel of mendicant
politicians and their INSCRIPTIONS un-
derstrappers, how shall we justify our
defeat to the delegates to the National
Republican Convention, so soon to as

Commonly, these represent local is
sues only; but now the struggle assumes
phases of national character, and is
permeated with influences that will ex-
tend into the Presidential campaign
Chicago Post, on the morning Of the
late election.
Let no man stupidly believe, what the
Democrats will tell him, that this is q
mere question of men-that no princi-
Piles are involved in the issue of this
election. The desperation with which
they are at work, the agencies with
which they hope to succeed, prove that
it is not the success of this or that man,

tablish the prestige of success here for
the party, and Endorsement of the damn.

however much they may seek to disguise
it, is as much part of the rebel pro-
gramme for securing the ultimate tri-
umph Of secession as was the firing upon
Fort Sumter in 1851 Chicago Repub-

1t appears from the way the people
voted that day, electing the Democratic
ticket, that they are slightly in favor of
the Pendleton plan of reputation.

Loose Management of the National Banks.

The national banks are beginning to
show their contempt of law and to dis
play high.handed, Independent conduct.
1t appears that the Controller of the Cur
rency has been compelled to call upon
the bank officers TO perform their duty
according to the tweuty-fifth section of
the National Bank act, which requires an
examination of their securities in the
hands of the United States Treasurer.
Hundreds of the banks have neglected
this duty, and it appears they had some
cause for the neglect in the insuficiency
of their securities. They begin to fear
close scrutiny or supervision. These are
some of the first symptoms of rottenness
which indicate general smash whenever
q financial crisis comes or whenever they
may be called upon for specie payments.
Like all great monopolies with vast privi-
leges and profits, these banks become
extravagant, speculative and reckless.
They will soon demand an expansion of
their currency, and, considering their
immense power, will no doubt obtain it.
This may float them along on the high
tide of initiation for time, but the bubble
will burst in few years at furthest. The
sooner Congress repeals the law creating
these infamous monopolies the better for
the country. Knock the props Of Treas
ury support from under them, which they
have no right to receive, and they will
fall by their own rottenness-M Y.
