TIE NEW YoEK ELECTION The success of the
Democrats in the late local election is luch greater
than at first supposed. The World of the 9th, says
the returns show almost uniforrn gains for the
Democracy when compared with the returns of last
November Ordinarily these local contests may Tot
be regarded as tests of party strength upon national
issues; but where the changes steady and show
themselves so uniformly in every part of the State in
Republican well Democratic localities it would
not be unfair to attribute them to strong, if quiet
undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the rule of the
dominant party in Washington. Of the seventy three
towns pubshclin returns tia morning 1t will be
seen that sxtyfour give Democratic gains, and that
the percentage Of gain is quite large. The list CON
tans returns from all the elections held so far in
the State this spring. of which we have received the

GRANTS KNOWLEDGE OF LAVA Washington let
ter writer says the significant feature of the
der to Congress for the repeal Of the treasury law OF
1889 is the fact that it shows Grant to be totally gnor
rant of the principles of the Government. He adj
dresses a message for the repeal Of law /" To the
Senate of the United States" 1t therefore, could not
be communicated to the House and the supposton
is that he believed the Senate alone could repeal a
law No President ever before displayed as much ig-
norance as this. Grant undoubtedly thinks that the
two Houses are independent legislative bodies each
invested with full Legislative powers and that the only
reason why there two is to provide for the contin
gency Of press of business for which one may not
be sufficient. lie supposes the fathers looked to an
ome gency i'll which it might become necessary for the
law making power to ego ahead on both Wheels" lis
the seanboatmen say. 1t was not tie slip of the pen
that led him into the blu derous OMISSION for he told
one Of his confidential friends on Saturday morning
that he believed the Senate would repeal the act be,
fore night and that Stewart could take his place on
Monday morning" But it happens that the House
had adjourned from Friday til Tuesday, and he had
been notified of the fact. Therefore his error was
of utter Ignorance have sld, Of the charac-
ter Of the legislative department Of the Government
