Ruin of the Republican Party Of New
York.

On Tuesday the Democracy swept the
State. Though large portion of their over
whclming majority is due to frauds in this
city, yet, as these were only larger than they
have been heretofore, they are not worthy of
any decisive consideration in estimating tho
causes of the Waterloo defeat of the Repub.
licans Besides, the Democratic majorities
have increased in the rural districts even
more than in this corrupt metropolis.
The Republican party in this city and State
Is completely demoralized; and it it cannot
Be radically reorganzed, it might as well be
disbanded. Its present forlorn condition is
due in great part to the utter failure Of the
national Administration to redeem the
pledges wherewith il obtained power, and in
part to the incapacity aud corruption Of its
local leaders.
From the very start Gen. GRANTS Admin
istration was heavy load upon the party in
New York and the burden has been grow.
ing more intolerable with every month that
has elapsed since he took the oath Of Office.
He has shown an utter lack of craftsmanship

tact in the choice of his confdants and in
the distribution of his patronage in the State

merely, but even its healthy existence, de

Nonsense Z

Rumore are abundant about town that
Mr.. HAMILTON FISH Is about to retire from
the State Department, and that he will be
succeeded by Gen. b. +. BUTLER of MOssa-
chusetts
That Mr.. FISH will take leave of Wash
ington at an early day is beyond question.
Gen. GRANT is not entirely ind tlerent to his
own chances of reelection, and he will doubt
less soon take an opportunity of requesting
Mr. FISH to step aside, so that the Admins
tration may be strengthened by putting in
his place some more popular man, who will
not be out of all sympathy with the Ameri-
can people But that man will not be Gen.
BUTLER The President dislikes BUTLER
and while he is doubtless willing to use
him in pushing the ST. Domingo scheme, il
is out of the question that he should ever
offer him place in his Cabinet
Mr. FISH will not retire alone Mr.. HoAR
and Mr. robson will doubtless embrace
the same occasion OF making their exit from
the honors of the Cabinet. Who will sue
coed them is not known but Gen. GRANT
can hardly 60 wrong in supplying thcil
places with any men of ability and energ!

The French Government lately expelled
an Italian banker named CsRNUscm for giving
one hundred thousand francs to the Democratic
Committee in Paris, to be used in the electionccrng
campaign against the pleJiseitum. Mr.. CsRNuscM
hal lived in Paris for more than twenty years,
and had in every respect conducted himselflik
good citizen. The ground Of his Punishment was,
that while he was an Italian subject he had engaged
ia political movement whose purpose was TO
change the form Of government ia France, and
that ia this manner he abusing The hospitality
which he received upon French soil. THIS accu-
saton was one that It would be difficult to main
tain. Parties in France were divided respecting
the gi,biscit2n, and more than million and a
half OF French voters sha red the opinions Of CER-
SuscnI, and so dc clarod themselves at the polls
However, the expulsion Of the liberal ltaliia does
no, seem to have changed his ,entm enis, for his
first act AFTER crossing the French frontier was
TO send q te lcgram 20 the same Committee giving
uuc hundred Thousand francs more for the same
purpose. If LOUIS IA PoLEoS banished him, he
certainly was not able TO break down his demo-
cratic spirit.

Railroad corporal ons are stringently dealt
with in the proposed new State Constitution of
Illinois Among other things it pro yid es that 10
company shall consolidate It's stock, property, or
franchises with any other railroad corporation
owning parallel or competing line aud in no
case shall any consolation take place except
upon public notice given, Of at least sixty days,
TO all stockholders, in such manner as
may be provided by law. No railroad
corporation shall issue any stock or
bonds, except for money labor or property
actually received and applied TO the purposes for
which such corporation was created; and all
stock dividends, and other fictitious increase Of
the capital stock or Indebtedness Of any such
corporation, shall be void. The capital stock Of
no railroad corporation shall BE- increased for any
purpose, except upon giving sixty days public
notice, in such manner as may be provided by
law. The exercise of the power and the right
Of eminent domain shall never be so construed or
abridged as to prevent the taking by the Gene
raj Assembly Of the property and franchises of
incorporated companies already organized, and
subjectng them to the public necessity, the same
as of ind yduals. The General Assembly is em-
powered TO pass laws to correct abuses and pre-
vent unjust discrimination and extortion in any
rates Of freight or passenger tariffs, and enforce
snch laws by adequate penalties to the extent, If
necessary for that purpose, Of forfeiture of their
property and franchises

The snez Canal win have AN lmmensc in.

The Suez Canal will have an immense in.
nuenco in developing commercial prosperity
throughout the Mediterranean and the Levant A
regular line Of steamers is now established from
Constsniinoplc by way of the canal, the Red Sea,
and the Persian Gulf to Blssorah on the Eu-
pirates. Bagdad, the Red Sea, and the Persian
Gulf ports are thus brought into direct commune
cation with Constantinoplc by sea. Steamers
carry passengers for $500 from Trieste to Bonn
bay. Unless canal is soon cut through the
lsthmus Of Nicaragua, the canal Of Suez will
work mischief upon the American and Asiatic
trade. The American Government has shown
little appreciation Of the effects produced by the
success Of the Suez Canal and its proceedings in
respect to the subject have been marked by oil
the phlcgm aud stolidity which distinguish the
present Rip Van Wrinkle administration OF for.

The Zebra, Bagdad paper, states that the
position of the Afghan Ameer, SHERE ALI KHAN,
has become very critical, in consequence of the
prcteuders to the throne Of Afghan stan having
taken refuge with the Russian army now ma
neuvrng in the direction of Turkostan and
Bokhara. These pretendcrs are supported by
Russia and Persia, while England offers her ALI
ancc to the Amccr, with promise Of actual help
in arms and money. But the AfghanS, listonin Z
to the counsels of their lmams or priests, all OF
whom have been gained over by Russia, are for
hidden to call in foreign aid, and make SHeRE
ALrs friendship for England a matter Of re-
proach to him. The ZJri also announces a raid
upon Turkish territory by Persian tribes under
the jursiict,o of the Governor of Larstan.
Altogether matters in Central Asia are bee inning
exceedingly complicated.

Marshal HAYHAu, the Austrian butcher,
was mobbed by the London people on his visit

women. and was hunted to his grave by public

guilty Of q more hcnous crime. Pretending that
the Cuban war of indcpcnAGnce Is over, he
puts to death one of its principal heroes. by
his own confession he was dealing with van
pushed foe. Even savage tribes respect their
fallen enemies. Only slave powers outrage this
