THE VICTORY IN NEW YORK.

The great victory of the Democracy
in the recent judicial election in the State
of New York has astounded Radicalism
and satisfied the whole comfy that there
is still a powerful organization opposed
to the encroachments of the party in
power. 1t is a gratifying feature of this
election that the great gains were in the
rural districts. This establishes the fact
that the agricultural people of the North
have felt the grinding expressions of the
party whose legislation has ignored the
wants of the many tax payers for the
benefit of the untaXed few. The Albany
argus puts the majority for the Demo-
cratic candidates at $4,000, the greatest
majority ever given to any party in that
State, and with one or two exceptions.
the largest ever recorded in the Union.
The New York Times frankly admits
that IFS party in Congress has not met the
just expectations of the country. 1t
says:
The Republican party in Congress has
not only puttered over the amnesty ques-
ton and the African question, but it has
puttered over the question of taxation,
(Which is a great matter TO New York, )
over the financial and revenue interests
over the tariff question, over the CONNER
cial and shipping interests, in which the
State is so deeply concerned. Thousands
of voters have left the Republican party
on account of the way III which the Re
publican majority in Congress has trihed
with great practical questions like these.
These are words of truth fifty spoken.
If the Radicals had given themselves TO
the consideration of questions which
would have brought relief to the people.
instead of devoting themselves TO the dis
cussIon and passage of measures intended
to continue the exasperations of the past,
they would have been much stronger than
they are, not only in New York, but
throughout the Southern States. The
Radical party has proven itself TO be not
a peace party, but party of aggression
and oppression, forgetful of the true inter
ests of the country, and mindful only of
such legislation as would, through force,
fraud and terror, perpetuate their power.
Hence this universal desire for change
in political rulers. The fall elections will
bring this change. Let it come.

correctly than The Senator from Indiana
They see that palilieal persecution win
no longer be. scfviceable for rarty pur-
poses. The New York Times, in speak
ing of :he bill pending in Congress TO
enforce the Fifteenth Amendment, says:
a grave blunder will be perpetrated If
this purpose be made pretext for Great
ing fresh disabilities, or for enactng pen
alties more harsh and vexatious than the
circumstances of the case require. The
equality of political rights now guaran-
teed by the Constitution may surely be
secured in practice, without casting i'm
putalions upon large proportion OF the
Southern people, or contributing to the
alienation of races in the Southern States.
The South itself has better appreciation
of its needs that Senator Morton lately
evinccd when he sought to revive the
passions which should be buried with re-
billion, and to infuse into the legislation
of to-day the spirit we associate with the
agitated counsels of the reconstruction
crisis. Events are no longer favorable to
partisan intolerance.
The New York Express commenting
on the subject says:
Surely the day is not distant when, po-
liticaI passions having subsidized, men viii
regret this attempt of the extremes to con-
troll the franchise of the States by acts of
Congress. Portugal has just compelled q
change of Ministry by full military force,
headed by an ambitious army General,
and from all we can hear, by revolution
or rebellion against the voice of the
people, and especially of the people OF
the country. To this end we are also
tending. The army has made more Sena.
tors in Congress, since the civil war, than
the people unaided by the army. The
curse of Capitalization is before our OWL
eyes and at our own doors, and yet VIC
fail to see and be alarmed at the danger,

MEANING OF TEE NEW YOEEN
~ ELECTION.

-
- ELECTION.
The Radicals are greatly puzzled over
the result of tic election in New York.
The New York Sun regards the Rcpuhi-
can party of that State as hopclcssly
ruined, and all 10y the failure of the
Grant Administration 10 redeem its
pledges, end the incspacily and corrup-
ton of its leaders. The Cincinnati
Chronicle says ''the Republicans Of that
State have fooled away great opportuni-
ties, and finally lost the control-we have
no.doubt for years to come, and il spite
fully adds: "Yet New York boldly
aspires to regulate national affairs under
a Republican Administration, and these
bold professions have been too freely hon
ored." The New York Tribune seems
TO take the result of the election very
much to heart, and says that
hehceforth New York is ''tO
he ruled exactly as William NJ.
Tweed and Peter b Swecry see fit TO
lave it, without any Pretense that the re-
sponsibility is shared by Republican
Boards or Republican Governor The
New York Times is similarly ''disgustcd, "
and despondingly declares that unless we
Cthe Radicals) can infuse into the body of
the Republican party a more vigorous
sense of duty, the favorable auspices Of
victory next fall, which now exist, will
proye a delusion and snare" The New
York World compartments the verdict
precisely. 1t saws Our victory has
been thorough and complete. 1t is all
that we could ask for, and proves that the
Empire Stale is safely and surely anchored
on the Democratic side. She is so firmly
stationed there that no Radical storms or
torpadoes can drive her from her moor
incs. and there she is destined 10 remain,
rs the banner State of the Democracy,
for her sister States to rally around in The
great struggle that is soon 10 come to re-
deem the national government Let The

By comforting the right of suffrage on
the negroes by the ratification" of the
fifteenth amendment the Radicals ex-
pected to make q sure thing of carrying
several doubtful States, among them In
diana. But the thing don't seem TO work
there as anticipated. The Democratic
papers in that State are daily publishing
the names of Radicals who have left that
party on account of its adoption of the
negro platform. Some of them are
prominent and influential men, and the
number of those hitherto Radicals, who
openly declare their purpose to vote
against that party is amply sufficient to
revolntionize the State at the coming
election

The State and county tax last year was
more than one per cent upon the assessed
value of all the real and personal property
in the State
Ten years ago the entire State taxation
was 1851, 900, This year the taxation is
more than double that amount.
The total expenditures of the State lex
elusive of INTEREST," were 154, 500 in 1867,
and are $6l1, 800 in 1870.
The General Assembly costs $145, 600
instead of S43, 900.
The salaries (of Scott & Coz amount
to Sl67, 600, instead of $4,000.
The expenditures for the fiscal year,
ending Oct. 81, 1869, were estimated
at $24b coo; but SS63, 900 were actually
spent.
The current expenditures for State puT-
poses in 1869 (the second year of the
Scott ring), were $500, 900 more than in
(the first year of the Scott ring) 1865.
The debt of the State is-supposing VIE
wipe out the 100000 of Blue Ridge
bonds-at least four and half millions
more than is was in 1869.
And yet the ring say that we are not
taxed, and that there is no urgent need
of retrenchment and reform.

A TEXAN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT.

Texas has a Governor who is evidently
a great man in little things, and the hitler
the things the more brilliant does his ge-
MUS display itself. 1t seems that an en-
teiprising slight-of-hand man has invaded
Texas, and given exhibitions of his skill
in various towns and villages of the
State, by showing the astonished rustics
how he can swallow sword, pull yards
of ribbon out of his mouth, extract
blood from q turnip, and do many other
wonderful tricks known to the necroman-
tic profession. Visiting Austin in the
course of his peregrinatiOns, this shrewd
slight-of-hand man sent the Governor a

nor, not being very heavily burdened with
the cares of office, accepted. Evidently
lis Excellency was much pleased with
