Radical Reporters" Cut Off.

The Radical dispatches are eagerly
comparing the Democratic majority
now, in New York City, with the ma
jority two years ago-the year of the
Presidential election--when Seymour
had GOATS over Grant, and Hoffman
69,l50 over Griswold for Governor.
They confess disappointment that the
Democratic majority now should exceed
$4,000, Notwithstanding the intended
effect of the United States troops and a
general intimidation Of honest and quiet
citizens by threats of wholesale arrests
at the polls, They had counted on these
agencies for cutting off the vote, and
reducing the majority to 10000 in the
city. As it is, they can only point to
the figures of the Presidential year, and
say the difference now is owing to the
shutting off of 'Tepeaters.
Indeed? But how does this showing
effect the Radicals What becomes Of
them? If the reduction of the vote,
now, Is owing to the suppression of
''repeaters," (as gross q humbug as ever
made its appearance, even in the Radi-
cal press,) then it follows that there
were upwards Of fourteen thousand
'repeaters' who fraudently voted the
Radical ticket in New York, two years
ago. The figures tell the story:
Radical vote in New York City, 1863 47.739
Radical woe in New York City, 1870, 1859
Less, now, by suppression of "repeaters," IA, o59
When the Radical papers answer that
exhibition, we have another conundrum
for them. 1t is this. If Grants bayo-
nets have increased the Democratic ma
jority in New York City from 39,l50
this year, how long will it take to bury
the Radical party by these military
tools ?-Harttor0 Times.

War kilograms.

For three weeks the dispatches from
the seat of war in Europe have been a
tumble Of contradictions. If they had
been prepared by corps of una'ics in
stead Of by az euterpris ne corps of re-
pOrters, they could not have been more
confused and inexpicablc than they are.
Bismarck seems to have dismissed from
his confidence, and King William no
longer unbosoms his secret thoughts and
intentions to, the euterprisng reporter
of the Pail Mall Gazette aud the New
York Tribune. What has become of
this and other correspondents who de
scribed so minutely the first events Of
the great drama? If the same CORES
pondenls who sent US the earlier dis
pitches of the war, send those we now
receive, they must have become crazed
or are chronicaly drunk. AT the scenes
of the conflict, they are not even good
gues'ers as to what has happened or i
likely to happen. But they endpavor to
hit the truth by guessing at every side
and condition of men and things. To
make sure of being right they announce
in immediate succession that a particu-
lar event has and has not occurred-,o
be sure of correctly stating the status of
Bazaine they say that he is for aud
against the Republic; defeated aud
dead, and alive and victorious. They
practice the arts OF clairvoyants, aud
surmse such general contradictions,
qualified by .ayish use of the subjunc-
tive mood, that whatever happens they
must be right in some respect, and they
expect that, in consideration of an occa-
sional and accidental truth. their false.
hoods will be forgiven or foreorIeo.
There is no talk of peace. The item
we published last week in regard 10 ii
had no Foundation. The lotcst is that
the French have been success 'tul in sev
eral engagements lately, and tina, they
have no intention Of surreuderlng Paris.
