MR.. DISRAELPS APOLOGIZE.

When Mr. Disrael published "Lothair" he
had outlived the enthusiams of his youth and
| apparently forgotten those schemes of political
and social regeneration with which he entered
public life nearly forty years ago. The men
who have failed in literature and art he has
assured us, turn critics; and he might have
added that the men who have failed as re-
formers are apt in the evening of their days
to cease being critics of government and
society, and to wrap themselves in the con-
tentment of conservatism. Mr.. Disraei GER
tainly seemed to have reached this cOmforta-
BILE condition of mind. TO live in gorgeous
castle, dine with dukes and ambassadors, give
an occasional banquet to your tenantry, and
belong to the Church of England, are the four
conditions of moral dignity and happiness ac-
cording to the philosophy of "Lothair," and
the only serious evils of life-that is
to say of life in the elevated circles
to which Mr.. Disraeli and all his
readers belong-are Garbaldans and Roman
Catholics But with the renewal of his litera-
ry career the author seems to have suddenly
renewed some of his early fancies. A new
collection of his writings has brought back
faint flush of the old enthusiasm. He takes
up these memorials of his political youth; and
as he pats them tenderly, "reminiscences of
half-forgotten impulses and pet theories long
ago laid aside, are borne to him across the
expanse of years of change and inconsistency,
and he almost renews that appearance of
earnestness which he used to wear so we'll
In the Preface to a new edition of his novels,
he muses. again over the Venetian oligarchy,r
the "Semitism" in politics, and the coalition
between the throne, the peasantry, and the
old aristOcracy which he made familiar phrases
to the passing generation of his admirers.
"COningsby" "Sybil,n and "Tancred,r he
tells us, formed real trilogy, in which he
developed his scheme for the regeneration of
England The origin land condition of political
parties, the situation of the people, and the
work of the Church, III the coming renovation
of the national spirit were the themes of this
triple exposition. We cannot say that we
entirely understood the trilogy quarter of
century ago, and we certainly do not under
stand it any better for the medtative and
almost mOurnfu commentary which Dir.
Disraeli makes upon it now. That the squire
archy and the new nobility had usurped the
functions of the crown while they made slaves
of the people and turned the government into
an odious oligarchy that the strength of Young
England would be found in an alliance between
tOcracy, rallying around real throne and
that in the approaching regeneration the
Church Of England, with vitality derived
from its Hebrew ancestry, would prove one
OF the most powerful of agencies. are

Mayor Halls object in increasing the num-
Der of the districts in the Sixth Ward from
eleven to twenty-three is now evident. In
1869, with no political stake at issue, this
ward polled 6,2H votes. How did it stand on
Tuesday last under the energetic whipping-in
of Sheriff-elect Brennan A little more than
one half, or 1859 votes, were recorded, the
falling off, Of course being the result of the
new election law in preventing repeating and
false counting. The notorious Tenth district
of this Ward, which in May last gave vote
of 934 on total population of $40, only cast
on the 9Th 29l votes. Then the old Ninth and
Eleventh districts, now cut up into eight dis
tricts, gave but total vote of 1874, or less
than an average of $50 to each district, while
the law allows 400. Can Mayor Hall, in view
OF these facts, plead the slightest honest me-
cessity for increasing the election districts in
the city, or deny the shameless frauds so no.

Gov. Hoffman goes out Of this city with
majority of 52,O37, on a vote of f0OSS5, with
a registration of 142,6G6. Two years ago his
majority was $3.50. Mayor Halls majority
over Ledwith falls over twenty eight thousand
short of Gov. Hofman's, amounting to only
2c,sIl. The Democratic majority in the
State cannot yet be given with accuracy, but
it is certainly not less than thirty thousand,
and may turn out considerably more.
According to the best information yet at
tanable, the Assembly stands &C Republicans
to GO Democrats but as several districts are
somewhat in doubt, the actual returns may
vary the result, and possibly even change the
majority.
We have lost three members of Congress in
New-York, in the XVIII, XVIIIth, and X&Xth
Districts; we have probably lost three MEM
bers in Illinois, in the Hid, Vth, and

Michigan, several in Missouri, and per-
haps one in Alabama; and have gained
one in New-Jersey, one in Minnesota,
one or two in Kentucky, and three
possibly fourth Louisiana. The Repub-
Leans will have from so to GO majority in the
new House of Representatives. We dep'ore
losses, but shall affect no regret that, coupled
with the evil thus wrought, comes the CORE
spending benefit of majority not so large as
to breed discussions or stimulate reckless
action.

The semi-oficial statement of the circum-
stances under which Secretary Cox resigned,
sent us from Washington, was not demanded,
as the communication itself suggests and the
explanation needs explanation. Except that
there was some underlined difference of opin-
ion between the President and Secretary rela-
tive to the latter's action in regard to the
"McGarrahan claim" for certain mining lands
which has agitated Congress, the Courts and
Land Office for some years past, the report
tells nothing. Secretary Cox, it appears, was
strongly opposed to granting the claim of
McC;arrahan, but it does not appear that the
President favored it. On the contrary, he
wrote TO Secretary Cox declaring that he did
not wish to append his name to any grant in
the case, and suggesting TO him to take no
action that might be brought in conflict with
possible future action Of Congress in regard to
the same claim. The communication places
Mr.. Nelson, subordinate in the Interior De-
partment, in an embarrassing position as a
person suspected by the President; and It re-
iveals very clearly that Secretary Cox thinks
the McGarrahan claim a fraud, but further
than this it tells nothing.

and unreasonable; and now, upon new trial, the

higher value upon kisses than Others but it appear,

less than the labal. A man must have plenty Of
money to be willing to pay even S. for kissing the
