THE PEOPLES VERDICT.

The People of this City and State, in their
election of yesterday, proclaimed their adhe-
sion to the Divine mandate thundered from
Sinai" THOU SHALT NOT sTEALn This is the
meaning, this the moral of the verdict, which
had very little reference to party politics. Re-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES outrages-Protection-
Civil Service Reform-the next Presidential
contest-each and all are we'll in their way;
but the People of our State thought little
and those of our City nothing at all of them.
They were moved to unwonted energy and
activity by conclusive evidence of corruption,
rascality, and robbery, perpetrated by a
portion of their rulers. The plum
derers and their accomplices were not
all of one party, but the more oon-
spicuous and powerful among them were
so and the People struck at these as their
readiest and surest means Of rebuking, arrest
ing, and Furnishing, the crimes which were
sapping the foundations of republican free
dom. They could not readily strike all those

reserved the rest for the next Opportunity.
That 10 the eist Of the matter.
Ifethe result shall seem less than complete
Republican triumph, it is 80 only because the
Rep1blicanS in some instances presented can
didateS who were popularly identified with
the frauds and robberies Of the Tammany
Ring, or with others hardly less nefarious.
Had all our candidates been free from that
contamination, the State would have
been swept from Montauk to Lake
Erie with purifying tornado which would
have left no trace of Democratic ascendency
within it's reach. Had no man suspected of
earning stolen money by doing the bidding of
Tweed been o Republican candidate for any

VICTORY.

We have carried the City of NewYork for
Franz Sigel by at least $4,000 majority; have
defeated every Tammany candidate for Sen
ator save VIM. M. Tweed, and have reduced
the Democratic majority on the State ticket
from $1,000 to (probably) $4,000. In the
State the result is not at this hour "A a. n.y.
sufficiently clear to warrant very
positive statement but the returns from
all quarters are most cheering. We can safely
estimate the Republican majority in the
State at 10000; it is possible that New
York is redeemed by majority even
larger than this. The Senate has 20 Re-
publicans to 0 Democrats and doubtful.
In the Assembly there will be SO Republi-
cans to 40 Democrats, and in these last are
included the Reform Democrats. Tammany
elects only of the 81 Assemblymen from this
city. Brooklyn has disappointed the expec-
tations of her best friends, and has failed to
elect an auti-Ring candidate for Mayor.
Mr.. Walsh appears to have been beaten for
Governor of New-Jersey mainly by a de-
fectiOn in his own City of Newark. The
cause or causes of that detection are not ap-
parent, but it was of such magnitude as, in
itself, to wipe out the whole of the Republican
majority, last year, in the State. Parker's
majority is between 5000 and 1000. We yet
have the Senate, but the Assembly ia in doubt
at this writing.
OLD MASSACHUSETTS, went strongly Republi-
can yesterday, as usual. Mr.. Washburn seems
to have proved very satisfactory candidate
for Governor. He carries the State by ma
jority over all of $1,000 to 10000, and plu-
rality of $4,000 to 10000. Out of the $40 men,
| bers Of the House, the Democrats have only
"a, and in the 40 Senators they have but 4.
The Council and all other State officers are
Republican.
Maryland still clings to Democracy of
Bourbon pattern; she is opposed to all New
Departures. Her Republican vote, however,
is steadily increasing. We have gained sev-
eral Senators and one-fourth of the House of
Delegates is Republican, which is an enOr-
nous gain.
Illinois goes heavily Republican, the Con-
gressman at Large getting about $4,000 major
ity; and in Chicago the Fire Proof ticket headed
by Joseph Medin is elected BY 10000.
Wisconsin gives us about 10000 majority,
and both branches of the Legislature. Min
nesota promises an increased majority.

Let the full meaning of this verdict be re-

pronounced against Democratic thieves, only
but against all thieves. They have decided

and corruption in Office, of all "Rings' for tho

THE CRISIS IN AnSTRIA.

An added gravity ls given to the crisis in
the Austrian Cabinet - which WAS sufficiently
grave before - by the resignation of Count
Beust, which is reported this morning. It is
an event of great Importance, not only in its
personal bearing, but because it indicates an
ominous degree of vacillatioD in the intimate
Imperial councils. When the HOhenwart Min
istry resigned, it was taken as proof that
the Emperor's confidence in the Chancellor
was unshaken, and the designation of Herr
Won Kellersperg as the head of the new Cis-
Leithan Ministry was in keeping with that
view. If the Presse of Vienna is to be be-
lieved, the Premier's resignation was not volun-
tary. 1t was an intimation from the Emperor
himself which caused the Count to remember
that the state of his health demanded absolute
repose. 1t must have required very powerful
palace influences to induce the Emperor to
venture upon this dangerous experiment at
this time.
The immediate occasion of the crisis was of
trivial character. The students of the Univer-
sity at the installation of the Rector Magnifcus,
few weeks ago, hissed and shouted pereat at
the Czech Minister of Public instruction, by
way of showing their emphatic German patriot
lbIu' his WOulO NOT uhV0 D0cu 81 Udu IL Iu6y
had not taken it into their blonde heads on the
same occasion to shout equally classic and
inconsiderate UiUds at Count Beust In acknowl-
edgment of his pure Saxon blood. Even the
gravest statesmen find it more agreeable to be
cheered than hissed, 80 that 1t Is not 30 re-
markable that the Federalist Cabinet left the
Hall, and Count Beust fingered behind, savor-
ing the incense Of the applsuding Burschen-
Bchaft. This was made cause Of serious
complaint against him to the Emperor. But
it was positively reported that His Majesty
had stood reeolutely by his Chancellor, and
had permitted the Hohenwart Ministry to re-
sign power which it was evident could not
much longer be sustained against the active
and growing hostility Of the German party.
This trifing incident was only the pretext Of
the crisis. The Centralist and Separatist par
ties, now in full hostility In every department
OF the Government, have no apparent common
ground for compromise or oonciliation. The
German party demand the exact observance
OF the Constitution. the supremacy Of the I'm
perial Parliament, tho dual governments of
hungary and Austria; while on ,tbe, pther
hand the leaders Of the jealpns pAt
which are embraced under thels4IahS hSbtfg

The resignation by Mr.. Peter B. Sweeny Of
the Office of Commissioner of Public Parks is o
formal acknowledgment Of his private. opinion
that the present is o good time to leave the
Tammany Ring. Defeat and disaster have
overtaken the once prosperous and naughty
organization, and Mr.. Sweeny, with commend
able Circumspection, gets out of the way. The
retiring Commissioner Confesses that he has
stayed in the Office latterly for the sake of
securing the success of the Democratic party
and its candidates. The appearances are that
that party has not of late been helped to
much success by anybody in office, or out
of it.

several provinces, and refuse TO enter Enc
Vienna Assembly until their demands are con-
piled with. The CEechs insist upon 1t that
there shall be o kingdom Of Bohemia entirely
independent OF German dictation. The Poles
claim almost absolute independence for. Gal
icia. The' seeds Of revolt are beginning TO
germinate in every one of the seventeen dit-
ferent provinces which were welded together
to form the Empire of Austria. The Czechish
demand is by no means 90 simple md reason
able as that Of Hungary. The Magyars were
o strong and homogeneous people, and when
their autonomy was granted by Austria IL
seemed as if both countries were benefited by
the change. The Hungarmns got their free
dom and the Empire gained q strong and
energetic coadjutor in place of discontented
and mutinous vassal. But in the Slavonic
regions which are now wrangling for their
Germans, amounting to two-fifths of the pop
ulatiOn, who have some right to insist that
they shall not be given up to the mercy Of an
alien and hostile nationality.
On the other hand the German party are BY
NO means gentle and conciliatory in their
bearing toward their unsatsfed Shvonic
brethren. The conduct of the boys at the
University is to great extent characteristic
of the entire German population. They feel
they are the better race, more intelligent
moro civilized, better educated, better
fitted to govern than the Czechs and
Poles. They will not see that in the weak
ness of human nature in the Nineteenth Cen
tury, it is not possible to expect that any
people should consent to be ruled better than
they can do it themselves.
1t is not probable that the KeIlersperg min
istry is destined to succeed in solving the
problem which Herbst and Giskra, in one
direction, Potoci and Hohenwart in the
other, have attempted and failed. IL it be
true that the reactionary influences Of the
palace, and especially the wife and mother OF
the Emperor, have succeeded at last in eradi-
eating from the Government those liberal ten
denotes which found their embodiment IN the
Protestant Chancellor the event may prove
scarcely less disastrous than the defeat OF

We most heartily congratulate the State on
the election of the Hon. WILLIAM H. ROBERT
SON to the Senate from the IXth District,
composed of Westchester, Putnam, and Rock
land Counties. Two years ago, William
CauldpeH (Dem.) was reelected by 2,274
majority, carrying each and every County.
Now, he is beaten by majority nearly if
not quite as large. carrying only Rockland
County (Derhaps). Judge Robertson has
already served acceptably in Assembly and
Senate; also as County Judge and Representa-
tive in Congress. No other resident of that
district could have polled 80 large 8 vote.
The moral is evident and excellent: II you
want to elect your candidates, nominate such
as the people know and trust
