The Late Elections.

The Republican party-says the 1 MIA
| dephia BuHetia-has no cause to be dlsap-
pointed with any Of the results of Tuesday
elections, eveySl ee, Republicanism has
COOL Eo'd upon the popular mind and viii,
/ far deeper and more permanent than has
been imagined, even among many astute
politicians. They indicate that the cohe
sive power of the Republican party lies, not
| in the violent excitements of such great
convulsion as the late Rebellion, but in the
SOBER educated sentiment of the respeeta-
ble and intelligent people of the United
States.
A general survey of Tuesday battle field
shows that Republicanism has held its own
most satisfactorily, while in some places it
has gained important victories. In New
y ork city, for instance, the monstrous Dem
ocratic frauds of last year have been 81 gnal-
ly rebused, and the Republican gain there,
under the pressure of those unparalleled ras-
calities, has gone far to counterbalance the
effect of that apathy in the interior which
so often attends the minor elections in the
large States. New jersey has done better
than she did last year, making a gain in the
Republican vote of her Legislature. Wis
consin comes up with her splendid majority,
and Minnesota stands true to her free prin-
ciples Massachusetts, has INDUCED in
sort of mixed fight, in which she has jum-
bled Liquor questions, and Labor questions,
and Republican questions with a free and
easy Indifference to the benighted Democ
racy within her border, that can only be af
forded in such a staunchly Republican com
munity as that OF the Bay State. In Hi
nois there was no State ticket to be elected,
and we have therefore no indications as to
the general results of the vote on the local
tickets Maryland is joined to her rebel
idols, and there she will probably remain long
after the country generally has risen to the
higher levels of pure and enlightened Re
publcanism.

WORTH REMEMBERING The first clear
half year of Grants Administration shows
an aggregate of increase in the revenues, and
of decrease in the expenditure, of $50, 46I,-
l57, las compared with the same period of
6S. That increase was over SI9, 200, 600,
and the decrease was over SS6, ,O0O, 900. the
latter being mainly in the army expenses,
which have been reduced from SCI 600, 900,
down to S29,000,0 900. Among other savings.
is that of l54 per cent ia the cost of col
lection Of the Internal Revenue. The facts
which substantiate these figures are a snlen
did vindieation of the justice of Republican
expectations

New U. 5. SENAToR.-Gov. Chamber
lain, of Maine, has filed the vacancy in the
United States Senate occasioned by the
death of Mr. Fessenden by the appointment
of Hon Lot NJ Morrill,. Mr.. Nj. is gen
tleman of fine education and large legislative
experience. By profession a lawyer, having
been admitted to the bar in 1889 In 1854
he was member of the Maine House Of
Representatives in 1856 member of the
Senate in 1858 Governor Of the State, to
WIKI III Office he was twice re elected by the
Republican party. He was chosen United
States Senator in 1861 for the uneXDired
term of Hannibal Hamln, who had been e.
lected Vice President of the United States,
and in the same year he was member OF
the Peace Congress. In 1868 he was re-
elected to the United States Senate, and
was candidate again for the same office last
year. but was beaten by Hannibal Hamlin.
He will probably be elected for Mr.. Fessen-
dens unexpired term by the Legislature,
which meets in January next, although he
will have formidable opponents in the per
sons of Speaker Blaine, General Sheply,
and, it is said, Governor Chamberlain

"PERCISELY" Sol - The Williamspert
Standard, having been used up politically
by the October election, now devotcs part
of Its columns to assailing the pulpit. 1t
gives long prayers sly hit, perpetrates a
joke on clergyman, and accuses the clergy
generally of preaching the Radical gos-
pei" The devil and the Standard agree
with singular unanimity on the last point.

the Bible, on account of radical clauses.

'ENTRAvAGANCE.' During the late po-
liticaI campaign, the burden of the song of
the Democracy was, Republican extrava-
rance. :" To show the entire fallacy of their
charges. it is only necessary to say that, un-
der the judicious management Of our State
finances, the administration of Gov. Geary
is now enabled to anticipate the payment of
the loan which is due on July l, 1870. Was
ever such recklessness heard Of before
