should indulge at least sparingly. If a clerical MAJ

TIE AUG UST ELECTIONS.

| The Republican party has rarely or nevcl
voted anything like its comparative strength
in the year preceding Presidential Election
Its rank and file are too Independent, too
widely scattered, and too ayerse to persistent
political activity and effort. Thus orr State
went Democratic in 1867 by nearly Fifty
| Thousand majority, though it was really Re
publican, and gave a large majority OF IL
legal votes for Grant and COlfax in 1863
And the elections in most other States cX-
hibited similar if not so striking, contrasts.
1t was but reasonable to expect results III
1871 like to those of 1867; but the elections
of this month do not accord with that antici-
patton. North CAROLINA, which went Demo-
cratic by 1000 last year, has now gone ReDub-
lican by 10000, and on an issue made UP by
the Democrats. They wanted to upset the
State Constitution they held that the People
could call Convention though the Legisla-
ture could not so TO the People they appealed,
and by the People they are routed. Though
no State Officers nor Members of Congress
were to be chosen, the vote is heavier than
that of 1870, and the majority much greater.
This triumph disposes of the pretense that
the Republican party in the South is composed
exclusively of carpet baggers" and mig
gers There are hardly a thousand voters
of Northern birth in the State the Blacks are
less than third of the People; the western
half OF the State has very few of them; yet
the Republican majOrities in the White or
Mountain counties are nearly as heavy in pro-
portion as on the selboard and at the east
Not less than Thirty Thousand White natives
OF the State must have voted III the majority.
KENTUCKY has cast a heavier vote than ever
before, with larger proportion of it Repub-
lican. The Republican victories in Counties
like Fayette, Christian, Logan, &c, and in
cities and chief towns like Lexington, Padu-
can, Frankfort, Paris, Bowling Green, Hopkins
vile, Henderson, &C., are not Overbalanced
by the fact that, the vote being considerably
larger than ever before, the Democrats have
a greater majority than last year. They had
entire control of every poll every State
Office holder did his utmost for them
they had an immense social prestige and
Il landlord power over thousands Of Whites
as well as Blacks which constrained
thousands 10 refrain from voting, or to vote
against their own convictions and vet the
Republicans have developed strength, not
only positive but relative, far beyond that of
last year. No Democratic journalist publishes
the returns by Counties unless under local
compu,ion to do So Their complexion is not
agreeable to him.
MONTANA, which chose q Dcmocratic Dele
gate TO the last Congress by loo majority,
chooses a Republican to succeed him by SOME

Whatever else may he said or left unsaid
about the unwise and needless split in the
Republican party of Louisiana, there is one
thing which ought not to escape the instant
and emphatic condemnation of every Rcpub-
lean, 10 matter what his views about the
personal aspects of the quarrel. The use OF
the United States Courtroom, in the Custom
House. as the place for holding the Conven-
ton of one 'of tie factions, and the use of
United States troops to exclude from it persons
claiming to be delegates, or arg persons, are
things so shamelessly indecent that we repudi-
ated the ascriptiOn of their origin to President
Grant as an unwarrantable and incredible
SANDER. If Gov. WaTmoth's wing of the party
had been far less deserving than it is, this
action of its opponents would have given 1t
the advantage in the sympathy of the party
at large.
And we do not see that Marshal Packard's
card published in The TRIBUNE to-day, helps
the case of the anti-WarmOth wing in the
least. The Marshal says that the President
was not responsible for ordering United States
troops out for the protection of the Conyen-
ton; we never believed he was, though Mr..
Packard was reported TO have said so. But,
while the Marshal and the Collector take the
responsibility OF ordering the State Republican
Convention into the Custom House building,
| for the sake of making an excuse to call out
! the military, we do not see that any sufficient
palliation for their offensive conduct has been

Genital of Prussia, nearly 200 miles west OF
wilma. and its first manifestation, owing per-
hans to tho swampy and insalubrlous char

long ago shut out all largo ships, and
IT has little direct communication with
foreign ports. The danger of transmits
sion TO us is consequently not imminent !;
but K0nigsberg has still an active trade
through small vessels and the preference OF
the cholera for routes of communication by
water is one of the curious phenomena OF the
disease which have been established but not
explained. The cholera at K0nigsberg is there
fore much moro formidable to the Western
world than at wilma. Even supposng 1t TO
be steadily moving westward, we may take
comfort in the reflection that at the present
rate of progress at least another seasons

chevous excitement, it is as well to remember
that the danger, though apparently remote Is
still an actual danger and that we are unpre-
pared to meet it. Many of the streets are
reeking with filth, and developing under the
hot August sun into nests of pestilcnce. The
air in certain quarters lis loaded with forii
odors, and the deadly atmosphere Of the tene-
ments is undermining the natural ability to
resist disease upon which alone so many thous-
ands must depend for their lives. The cholera
would make awful havoc if it got into some
of the Wards; but, prOvidentially, though not
easily dislodged it is one of the most
easily prevented of all epidemic diseases.
We have once already been saved by the VlS-
orous action of the Board of Health, and II
the present alarm arouse the authorities to the
necessity of cleaning the streets, promptly re-
moving refuse matter, and making a sanitary
crusade among tho tenement houses, 1t VIII
have done some practical good.

British possessions. Gen. Sheridan seems to
think they will need more intimidation-more
killing probably. And Cen. Hancock wants
TO know if the Government is TO feed these

pear to be to drive the Indians together where
they can exteIminate each other.

CHOLERA.

An alarm has been sounded in London that
the Asatic cholera is spreading westward out
of Persia, has already swept over the RUSSIAN
Empire and crossed the borders of Germany, and
in a few weeks may be threatening all Western
Europe. Parliament has tried to devise some
public measures of precautiOn in Great Britain.
and sanitary regulations are revised (and let
US hope enforced), with something OF the
energy which springs from panic We cannot
be insensible to this alarm for if there is
danger for England, France, and Germany
there is danger for us too. Our intercourse
with those countries is so intimate, that in the
course OF travel and traffic we can hardly help
importing pestence in case they should be-
come its victims.
But in reality the danger is slight. The
cholera in Russia is not a new plague; 1t has
ragged there with more or less violence since
the close on 1869, and it seems, 50 far as the
