STARTLING RuMoRs-Creat Erc,,e-

STARTLING RUMoRs-Great Ercae-
ment-The CITY AStonished.- several
days the city has been considerably excited
over rumors Of serious nature, likely TO
affect very materially the interests Of the
city. We have put ourselves to consider
able trouble and expense to ascertain the
truth OF these rumors, and are now enable
to contradict them upon reliable informa-
ton.
The general rumor that an election was
held in Richmond last Tuesday, resulting in
a terrible defeat of Republcansm, we are in
formed is entirely untounded, that but few
Republicans comparatively, had anything
to do with the election.
In fact several Of their party this morn
ing assured us that they knew nothing of
the reports, and that several prominent
members of the party were waiting for re-
gstration offices to be opened in order that
they can secure certificates of transfer, pre-
paratory to voting. We are also informed
that some of them had their certificates Of
transfer in their pockets, but didn't deem
it necessary to use them, as the election
does not come off until next spring.
Can it be possible that we have all been
dreaming? All! we stop and bite our fin
gers, and find we are, and have been,
awake, and that the rumors of an election
having taken place is sad reality.

The CASE OF DIR. STRECKER.-Th
case was again called yesterday in the
Hastings court, but owing to the absence
Of the principal witnesses, was continued.
The witnesses who suddenly disappeared
from the city, have, doubtless, on the wings
of love, taken such flight as forbids their
return. We have but little doubt, that a
noUe proseqW will be entered in the case,
during the present term. and DR.. Strecker
discharged.
The whole circumstances of this case,
the character of the witnesses and the gen.
eral belief in the innocense Of DIR. Strecker,
render it great outrage upon one of our
oldest and most respectable citizens. OF
course no blame can attach to the officers
for their part taken in the matter, but the
censure should rest where it properly be-
longs--upon parties who, in an effort to
distort money from an Innocent man,
have been compelled, by reason of failure,
to flee the State and leave the intended VIC
tim unharmed.

[From the Philadelphia Press.l
THIS last judgment of the High Court
of the People not only settles beyond re-
versal or appeal the question Of Grants
denomination, but tenders to him the Presi-
dency of the country again, without, condi-
ton, terms, or bargain. He will enter the
White House in 1873, as in 1869, without
any political debts to pay, beholden to no
men or set Of men--the free choice of the
body of the people.
For many reasons the attention and in
terest of the country will centre on the
vote Of New York city. The results there
are gratifying, encouraging, and full of hope
and promise to all good men. The Reform
ticket, supported and endorsed by two Re-
publican organizations, has been sufficient
ly successful to establish the fact that for
New York the day of her redemption is at
hand. .....,., -.,
From the Washington Chronicle.
The glorious news from the Empire
State may be summed up in few words.
The Republicans have carried the State by
$4,000 majority, being clear gain of 10
600 votes. Both branches of the Legisla-
ture are Republican by two-thirds. Gene
raj Sigel, the Reform candidate, has been
elected register Of the county in which
New York city is situated, by 25,000 ma
jority. Only one Senator-Wm. NJ. Tweed
-of the Tammany nominees, is elected in
New York city. And all the fifteen anti
Tammany aldermen in the city have been
elected.
This is the greatest and most significant
political victory ofmodern times. 1t sounds
the death-knell of corruption in the city
and State of New York.
The effect of this victory, achieved at the
polls by the honest portion Of the people of
New York, will be potent for good through
out the country. Tammany had given a
sort of air of responsibility to nearly every
species of dishonesty, and especially to dis
honesty in handling the public moneys.
Tammany has ia len. The very name is
q by-word Of reproach. Its influence upon
the country is destroyed. And on that ac-
count the country has gained as much in
sound morals as the people of New York
themselves have saved in money and gained
in good government by the splendid victory
we this day record. sts5. 5ae
