The TrSunr-oF-0 FFicE AcT.-This whole
subject of repeal Of the act is "left out" for q
season, as was decided by caucus Of the Re
publican Senators Monday. The Boston Alder
tissr special says
This vote shows that less than half Of the Re
publican members Of the Senate answered to
their names on the roll call. II is understood
that Messrs. Anthony, Ferry, Fcssenden, Grimes,
Morton, Wiley, and two or three others were
present, but declined to vote. II is probably
true that most Of those who voted for the post
ponemcnt are against the repeal Of the tenure
ofoiice act, but this is not true Of two or three
at least, their conviction being that II Is best to
pass the repeal bill after General Grant has be-
come President.

the returns unrighteously kept him out.
All the other contests are proceeding IN the
Court Of Common Pleas, but the work Is neces-
saaily slow. We have never entertained any
doubt that the gigantic frauds perpetratet ut
the October election by the Democratic politici-
ans could be detected and exposed to an extent
sufficient TO give 10 most, IL not all, OF the Re
publican candidates the offices TO which they
were duly electel. The object Of the Democrats
in perpetrating these frauds on 20 great a scale
was 10 render the task Of overcoming the fraud

by the Republican candidates. The same policy
was adopted at the October election Of 1867,
but in 1868 there WAS the added stimulus OF
the Presidential contest Mt stake.
