The New York Victory.

The people have nobly responded to
the appeals made to them. We have
gained a greater victory than we dared
to hope for Once more. can we be proud
of our city and State, and rest in perfect
Security that the long reign of rascals
and outlaws is over Although the Tam
many leaders delayed canvassing the
vote until past midnight, and when we
write--at in the morning-the full re-
turns are not in,, enough is known to show
that a splendid triumph is gained. This
comes OF the people interfering in their
own affairs All honor to the many es-
timabie citizens who FOR weeks past have
been sacrificing personal comfort to the
welfare OF the community -canvassing
from house to house, and inducing peo-
Pile who have not voted for years past to.
assist in redeeming our city now They
have their reward Let US hope that
they will never again relapse into indif-
ference concerning. their own affairs.
We must briefly inscribe the details of
this glorious and ever memorable victory
OF all the Tammany Senators offered for
re- election Tweed alone is successful
and he will soon stand in the felon's
dock. Norton is beaten Genet and
Woltman are defeated Bradley is liter
ally nowhere Judge Barrett is elects
ed by great majority, and Ledwith will
realize this morning the bitter truth that
he has sacrificed honor and reputation
without even getting a mess of pottage
for it May that ever be the fate of
venal traitors OF the Assembly, Dis
tricts we know little while we write, but
our news columns Will supply the latest
information. The probability seems to
be that Tom Fields IS beaten and Sey~
monr eected--and that Mr.. Tlden is
returned in the Eighteenth District We
have gained four State Senator's between
this and Albany, and probably have
two thirds majority in each House. With
this we can sweep away the New Char

essary for the welfare of the people

AS for the State, it has come to our
help with an ardor which we ought never
to forget In the strict where the Times
has a very large circulation, the Repub>
lican gains are very striking Thus in
Poughkeepsie, there is a Republican gain
of seven hundred In the town Of Gon>
kers we gain over six hundred In
Greenbush Rensselaer, county, the gain
is over i've hundred. And 50 the story
goes in nearly all parts of the State. We
Judge from the figures now before us that
we have carried the State ticket by from
fifteen to twenty thousand majority.

the croakers tell US to-day that honest
citizens stand no chance against corrupt
politicians ? The victory we have won
il priceless, not only from what it gives
US now, but because it will revive every
mans faith in the ultimate triumph Of
truth and justsce-because it will teach
scheming politicians that the voice of he
people is supreme, and that the immor-
tai principles on whc, this Government
is founded, although thsy may be mo-
mentarily stfled by dishonest factions
will constantly rise triumphant, while
the men who assaulted them will pass
