Mr.. burgess IL not a Republican.

ORANGE &. H., Nov. IL, 1870.
To the Editor Richmond Dispatch: Sir
In your issue of Yesterday, in the report of
the election in this county, am cIassed as
Republican. Your reporter, whoever he
may be, must have taken very little trouble
to inform himselfin regard to the sentiments
OF myself and many of my supporters in so
claSSing me. was in the convention that
nominated, and l supported at the cleo
ton, Maj. BraXton, the Conservative NOM
inec IN This district for Congress, and sup
pose l am about as much opposed to the
Republican party as any man in the State.
The truth is, there was no question of poll
tics raised in the election for county officers
for this county, and there was no Republi-
can, so far as l know, running for office in
the county the different candidates were
voted for not on account of their politics, but
on other considerations. AS your report
does me and others injustice, I hope YOU
will make this correction.
Respectfully, &c, w. W. BURGESS.

NEW YORK POLITICAL GossIP-The New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger writes:
- The city to-day is enjoying profound
calm. The Democrats are iubilant over
their success i'll re&lecting Hall and Hoff-
man, While Republicans take comfort from
contemplating the returns from New Jer-
soy. OF six editors who were up for Con-
grcss, only three, who are lucky enough not
to be Republicans-Brooks, of the Express;
Roosevelt, Of the Citizen, and kinsella, of
the Brooklyn Edgle-are elected. Mr..
Greeley, of the Tribune; MIR. Wilkes, of
the SPIRIT Of the Times, and Mr.. Nor
veil, Of the Daily Times, only failed of an
election, not because they are not good fell
lows, but because they did not get votes
enough. The talk among the Democratic
leaders now is that Governor Hoffman must
ne their standard. bearer for the next Presi-
dency. One Of their Journals already nomi-
mates him, and calls upon the rank and file
to fall in. Oakley Hall is understood to have
some aspirations to be the Governors sue
ces>or at albany. The Republicans smile
at these little arrangements in the prospec-
tive, and admoniSh the brethren of the folly
Of counting their chickens before they are
Matched. Immense sums of money were
spent by some of the Congressional candi-
dates. Ii is estimated that one Of these,
who was not elected, in one Of the uptown
districts, must have sunk 500 for every
vote that WAS cast for him; and if the esti-
mate is correct, he is out Of pocket at least
$50, Geo."

ARCHBISHOP SPALDISG's RETURN.-Arch-
bishop Spalding, Of Baltimore, who has
been absent at Rome as Il member Of the
Ecumenical Council, returned home on
Thursday. lie was warmly welcomed by
the members Of his church. A procession
of the Roman Catholic societies took place,
and several addresses were made. At the
Cathedral meeting was organized. and a
lengthy preamble and resolutions, denounc-
ing King Victor EmanuePs invasion Of
the Papal territory, and asking the United
States to interfere in favor Of tne Pope, were
adopted.
The Archbishop's address was eloquent
and feeling. He thanked all who had par
tiviputcd in bis grand welcome home, and
from his heart Of hearts he thanked his
Catholic children that they had not forgot
ten him while he was absent from them at
the Ecumenical Council. The expressions
of kindness extended TO him, he said, were
too fiattering, and he was unable to find
words suitable to express his feelings. In
referring to the Council at Rome, he said
that he had endeavored to do his duty in
that Council, and thanked his people for
sustaining him in his action. He was salts
fed that what he did or said at Rome re-
quired no defence from him, as AL were
satisfied at what he had done. He closed
with saying that he was proud Of Baltimore,
ana proud of the Catholic heart contained
in its bosom.
