The French soldiers who voted "No" on
the Sth of May are to be brought to a realiz-
ing sense of their ingratitude to the paternal
government. The colonel of the 61st Regi-
ment of the line, quartered at Lyons, has adj
dressed the following model communication to
his commands
"The colonel cannot compliment the regiment on its
yesterdays vote. He could not have believed there
were many bad soldiers in the Glst The scarlet hue
rises to his face when he compares the 2
of the regiment with the Al negative votes of the S6h
which ia brgaded with it, Every one, from the first to
the last have share of responsibility and in all
probability shall feel the consequences This
day all the officers will attend parade, and, after having
caused the above remarks to be read the commanders OF
companies will endeavor 10 make the understand
the indignity of their conduct"
The fact is that having asked his subjects
for their candid opinion, the Emperor is very
angry with those who take him at his word
and give it.

Trustee of the Seventeenth Ward Schools Tor

poor girl who was anxious to get teachers
position. Whereupon an incorruptible Demo-
cratic association-organized in the Trustees
Ward, doubtless, for the purpose OF advancing
the science of successful repeating at the
polls-rushed to his defense and poured forth
their indignation in a series of resolutions
which, regardless of the evidence taken on
the trial, declare their champion to have been
"the victim of political persecution, instl-
"gated by the enemies of their association
"with view of striking blow at them as
"well as at him." and also patheticaily aliude
to his honorable record in the State Assembly,
where probably he contracted the very bad
habit that has finally brought him to grief
Without wishing to fight the battles OF the
Board of Education, we are thankful to any
one who does such good service to the public
as to bring to justice any school officer who
has taken a bride for the appointment OF
teacher.

The social view Of the Indian question,
which is so pleasantly mingled with the
narrative of Red Clouds visit to the Navy
Yard, in a Washington letter to-day, is a
strong and wholesome though indirect argu-
ment in favor of the present civilizing rather
than the old exterminatng policy toward the
race. The Indians in Washington have shown,
everywhere they have gone, the klndiier
phases of their rough natures They nave
been quick to appreciate the comforts ana at
fractions of our civilized mode OF life, and
the advantages of our inventions. They have
displayed the utmost respect for women; the
greatest fondness for children. They have
observed, too, (and been perceptibly impressed
by) the position of authority and dignity to when
one of their own race had attained through
ciyilizing influences. Thus in the persons
of these savage ambassadors we see betrayed
the existence of better traits of civilized man,
denoting their capacity for improvement, while
in the person of the United States Commas
sioner who treats with them we have the
fullest and fairest demonstration OF that ex-
listing capability. Why should there remain a
doubt of the wisdom of the policy which seeks
to civilze the racef

1t seems to us about time for the agents of
the American Press Association to quit tele-
graphing and go into some other business. In
the course of week they have sent over the
wires three sensational stories, each of which
has proved to be a hoax. First came the ROu-
manian massacre, elaborated out of a trifiing
riot, and untrue in all its particulars. Then
we had the cruel story of the loss of the
steamer Dacia, with 81 lives-a stOckjobbing
canard which is shown to have had its origin
in New-YOrk. And now we learn that the
report of the sailing of the Cuban privateer
Chieftain from an English port is also false !;
nay, more, that in England, whence the news
purported to come, there has not been even a
rumor of such an event. If any man hereaf-
ter believes report sent through the same
channels, he will deserve TO be hOaxed.

TdMNdNY REPUBLTCdNS.

Mr. Mark Lanigan, a member of the Repub-
lican General Committee, has lately been
brought into public notice as witness in the
Herman homicide case, and also in connection
with little law business of his own. Here
upon somebody writes to The New- York Times,
intimatng that he is one of the pseudo Re-
publicans kept in the pay of the Tammany
Ring, and Mr.. Lanigan replies as follows:
T you will refer TO the vote taken few days since at
meeting OF the Republican General Committee, the
adoption Of resolutions favor OF the removal Of Mr.
Grinnel from the Collectorship you will perceive that

who voted In opposition 10 known to have been
identified with the Tammany Ring for years."
Now without stopping to inquire whether
supporting Mr.. Grinnell ought to be the test
of political orthodoxy, we may assume that
Mr.. Lanigan knows what he declares to be a
matter of public notOriety, and is able to point
out the men who habitually betray their party.
Our worst enemies are the Tammany Republi-
cans, who wear the livery of heaven to serve
the devil in. They paralyze the party; they
create dissensions and disorders in our ranks
and they take their pay in the money or the
favOrs of the Ring. Mr.. Lanigan is member
of the Committee in which these men do their
dirty work. Unless common fame gives him a
glory to which he is not entitled, he under
stands great deal about the secret workings
of the organization. He must know who the
traitors are. Suppose he gives up their names

Mons. L. SimOnin, well-known writer on
La Lberte, has recently come to the United
States for the purpose of advancing the inter-
ests of the proposed Nicaraguan Ship Canal
which Company organized in Paris but de-
signed to be International in its character, wishes
to undertake. This Company hopes soon to
raise fund in London and Paris for the pur-
pose of making thorough survey of the
route, but seeks above all things to secure the
countenance of the United States. The pro-
jectOrs believe that the present Darien Canal
projects will prove nearly impracticable, and
think that the Nicaragua route furnishes far
fewer difficulties than any other. While in
this country Mons Simonin will also act as

Senate and House are considering means of
facilitating legislation. Making the previous
"questiOn" rule operative in the Senate would
doubtless do much good. Taking the Yeas and
Nays by machinery, as proposed i'll the House
by Mr.. Logan, would also be an immense gain,
doing away with a waste of time as inexcusa-
bic as il is insufferably tedious But after all,
a more effective rule than any other would be
the sage advice of an old orator to young
lawyer--to speak only when he had something
to say and to stop when he had said it. If
Congress could be persuaded, for few weeks
at least, to observe this admonition, the closing
month of the session will not find 800 bills on

The Senate was so gracious yesterday as to
allow debate on the bill to abolish the Frank
ing Privilege. This is a concession indeed,
and we confidently trust the beginning of the
end, favorable or otherwise, for that long-de-
hyed measure. Very positive speeches for
and several weak and brief ones against the
bill were delivered. Mr.. Flanagan of Texas
was the only Senator outspoken in favor of
continuing the abuse, and his argument was
based on the queer notion that the Franking
Privilege has been, in effect, an educational
measure, and that much light had been thereby
dispensed to benighted constituents. We doubt
If any other opponent of the bill shares this
erroneous idea confidently enough to avow it,

At the Theatrical Fund Dinner lately in
London, H. r. H. the Prince of Wales was
not only kind enough to take the chair, but he
also condescended to say that he went to the
theater often with his wife to encourage a
"noble profession" although this hardly ac-
counts for His Highness's intimacy with several
actresses of character by no means noble. We
are rather surprised to find sensible man
like Mr.. Blackstone scolding about the insane
"passion for burlesque of the present day."
In heretofore discussing this subject, we have
more than once pointed out that burlesque is
an old and perfectly legitimate form of drama
tic composition-in fact, the best comedy the
world ever saw was hardly more than parody
of tragedy. "The Rehearsal" the wittiest
thing of its kind in the language, is bur
lesaue. So is Sheridan's Critic So is Field
ing's "TOm Thumb So is "BOmbastes
"Furioso" NIitchell's "burlesques' given years
ago in this city were excellent. 1t is MT good
"burlesquen which we need deprecate, but
burlesque which is either silly or nasty.

| votes are as follows:

All this seems to be regular. We know
there was wholesale cheating in the count,
but the fraud was carried not only through
the State ticket, but through the local ticket,
where it was necessary only as blind, there

the frauds of his own party. For the first
time in several years the people voted for In
spectors of Election. There were regular tickets
in each Ward, the vote being by Wards at large
and in a few instances there were irregular
tickets, chiefly Democratic, that polled few
votes. The box for Inspectors of Election the
false counters apparently did not tamper with,
probably deeming it of no consequence. Now
these above all other tickets are the least
meddled with by irregular nominations or
scratching, and much more nearly than others
represent strict party votes. Let us see, then,
lust how the Tammany official organ reports
the result in the two Wards where false count
ing was most notorious:

Here it appears that in two Wards the Re-
publcans were robbed of over 5000 votes, and
the Democrats credited with over 1000 more
than their due, making difference against the
Republican State ticket OF more than seven
thousand Gas representing majority in two only
of the twenty-five Wards. There are like in
stances in other parts of the city, but none so gar
ing The above returns, however, fully show the
knavery, and prove beyond cavil that the cor
ruptiOn of the ballot box was the main reli-
ance of the Tammany leaders to get control
of the Court of Appeals. BY such and similar
rascalities they counted in Hoffman for Gov
ernOr and gave the State to Seymour for Pres
ident; by similar practices they rule every
Department in City and State Government to-
day. Is it any wonder that they complain siren
uOusly of the law of Congress which, if honestly
enforced, will give us a perfectly fair election.
Let the opponent of that law study the figures
of the With and With Wards-staunch Dem
ocratc strongholds-as above given, and
answer if it is not high time to put an end to
such frauds.
1t is worthy of note that the Tammany
schemers at the last election, for the first time,
concealed from the public the names of Inspec-
tors and Canvassers. Hitherto the names have
been advertised some time before the day of
voting, 80 that people might know who were
to take charge of their ballots. This time all
was kept dark, and the tools who did the
false counting will probably never be known,
except to the knaves who paid them. On the
whole, the operations in the With and With
Wards may be considered the climax of Tam
many tactics. AT the State election last No
vember the Democratic vote in the With
Ward was 4,o40; in 1863 when Hoffman called
out every vote of the party, it was only son;
last month, on the tamest sort of a canvass.
with no issue at stake except the plumber of
the City Treasury, this same With Ward is
made to give a Democratic vote of s,474, or
3,403 more than on the election of Hoffman.
In November last the registry list showed
6,922 voters in the With Ward; last month
the total vote was 9,512, and the Democratic
vote alone, as counted, s,474, or over 1900
more than the registry. The World, recently
furious over just such swindles, is convent

We are sorry to believe that the Naturaliza-
ton bill has been killed. It's provisions were
in most respects wise and practical. 1t regu-
lated the right of suffrage to foreigners with
out in any sense discouraging immigration. 1t
was calculated to prevent fraud in voting with
out being in any degree iliiberal in the extern
sion of citizenship. Various diverse interests
conspire to defeat it. The Democrats acted
against it in a body, as they saw in it
the final destruction of their power. The
Pacific Coast representatives of both
parties voted against it because It did not
positively deny political rights to the Chinese.
Other Representatives from districts of South
ern and Western States in which foreigners
hold power also voted against it, and it was
laid on the table by vote so positive-102

Not to be defeated in the effort to expand
the Currency, the Committee on Banking and
Currency yesterday reported the Senate bill
which provides for an issue of S45,OO0.OOO as a
substitute for the measure lately con-
signed to the bottom of the House calendar of
eight hundred bills. But the substitute is
evidently to fare no better than the original
did. On the contrary, it seems that only each

session is to be wasted in "flibustering" over

British Columbia is divided between Union
with Canada and Annexation to the United
States. Her final action depends, it seems, on
the direction from which a great railway that
she demands as the price of allegiance shall
reach her. If the United States builds a road
from San Francisco northward, or from Lake
Superior westward, British Columbia is ours
The old question OF "fifty-four forty, or
fight" will then come up again and be settled,
as it was before, without fight but by giving

When the Tammany leaders undertook to
manufacture majority for Church in this
city large enough to make sure of the State,
they saw that it would be necessary to carry
their false counting down through all the
tickets, lest some glazing discrepancy in
given locality might expose the swindle. SO
it appears by their returns that the tickets on
both sides run reasonably even, with one ex-
ception, to be mentioned hereafter. The de-
clared official votes are as follows:
