Considering the powerful combination OF
the orthodox republicans, senators, govern
ors, railway kings, ''bloated bondholders"
and newspaper editors against which Genera
Batter had to fight for the mastery in the late
Worcester Convention of eleven hundred and
odd delegates, his vote for Goveruor--four
hundred and sixty-four against six hundred
and forty-three for Washburn-is really re-
markable. Ard yet, in the hour Of his defeat,
he reminds us Of that famous King Of France,
who,
With forty thousand men.
Marcned up Inc NIL and then marched down AGAIN.
And he reminds us of that ship load Of gun
powder, the explosion of which ii was sup
posed would shake down the walls OF Fort
Fisher, but which served only to blow up the
ship. And, yet again, as the General was
bottled up" at Bermuda Hundreds, so, with
all his aourishing of drums and trumpets aud
marching and countermarching to deceive
the enemy, they bottled him up at Worcester.
And, yet again, his proposed short cut to the
Governors chair in Boston may be likened
to the short cut of that Dutch Gap Canal
which remained unfinished when the war was
over.
But worst Of all is the trick played by
the General upon Wendell Phillips and
the women's rights women aud the labor
rcformers par excellence, in leading them, first,
to believe that he would be their champion
and their standard bearer any how, and then,
in quietly informing them, at the close of his
Worcester engagement, that he would continue
to fight his fight within the republican lines.
What, now, becomes Of those glowing eulo-
gums of Phillips, in which General Butler was
held up to the labor retormers aid women's
rights women as the man of all men for the
crisis to do away with the remains of the
republican party, which was dead but still
resisted burial and insisted upon decompos-
ing in the sun. At any rate, General Butler
has shown the old Bourbons of Massachusetts
what vigorous, dashing, popular, bold and
fearless man, single handed, can do in single
campaign against all the powers Of powerful
party ring, aud that in another campaign,
from the foothold he has gained among the
young men of his State, he will carry every
thing before him. 1t means, too, that we shall
probably hear of General Butler for the Vice
Presidency in the Republican National Con-
ventiOn of 1872. \

the men who have heretofore stood at the
head and front Of the republican organization
in New York.
This republican bolt and the troubles which
cannot be ignored or evaded in the Democratic
Convention will have singular effect upon
the election in this city. There seems now to
be little doubt that union will be made on
Senatorial, Assembly and municipal nomina-
tons between the OBrien democrats
and the republicans, and the result
will be a sort OF scrub race, In
which the respective State tickets will be
used as capital upon which to bargain for
local votes. The only question now appears
to be, on what side in these city contests and
combinations will Greeley, Andrews and Com
pany be found bargaining and fighting? Time
and agaio, in the hour Of their
direst need, the leaders of the Tam
many ring have been indebted to republican
aid for salvation from political destruction.
They are now in a worse plight than ever
before, and it would be curious result to all
the clamor and turmoil about city reform if the
tottering dynasty that at present rules over
the old Wigwam should receive a new lease
of power through the friendly assistance of
the Syracuse boilers. AT all events, the
democrats have now the game in
their own hands, provided they act
with common prudence in their Con-
vention and in their nominations. The
folly of the republicans has been little short Of
suicidal. They might have made victory this
year a certainty and have dealt blow to de-
mOcracy from which it could not have re-
covered before the Presidential fight had been
decided. As it is, we are likely to have
regular scrub race all round, with
great chance of the defeat of the
popular movement for a thorough re-
form in the character of the next State
Legislature. And at the bottom Of the mis-
chief lies the eager longing and straining after
the spoils Of Office, which is the handspring
Of all our political machinery, and the great
end and aim of all our political patriots, demo-
cratic and republican, Tammany and anti
Tammany, Conklingite and Fentonite from
one end of the land to the other.

The Pal Nal Gosette denounces the 7sye-
graph for its misinterpretation of Disraeli's
speech regarding the health of the Queen.
1t uses strong language. 1t calls Il ''Hagrantly
dishonest as ever appeared in an English
journal. II adds that '.if Mr.. Gladstone
keeps such company as the editors of the
7otegraph none but the rabbIe will follow
him. All this Is just what we expected. 1t
shows that what our special cable despatch
said was true to the letter-viz., that while
some journals published the so-called Often
slve expression others suppressed it. In the
HERALD OF yesterday we gave sufficient proof
that Queen Victoria, as an active sovereign.
is no longer useful. Mr.. Disraeli, at Hughen-
den. wisely or uuwisely, gave expression to
sentiment which has been common senti-
ment in London, and, indeed, all over tho
British Isles, for many years.
Al the same time it is not to be denied that while
Mr.. Gladstone represents the popular mind.
aud, being in power, therefore the mind of tho
Qneen, Disraeli expresses the aristocratic mind,
probably the mind Of the Prince of Wales, and
being in opposition therefore the mind Of tho
disaffectcd. new fight in England has been
commenced-a fight which will make an end
of all reform, in all likelihood, during the
Queens reign, and which has had nc. parallel
since the days of Pitt and Fox, when George
the Third was old and out of his mind, and
when George, his son, was ambitious OF
power. In the next session of Parliament We
shall expect that the question of a regency
will take precedence of all Irish questions,
and, indeed, Of all other questions which look
10 an amendment of the constitution. The
presumption is that the fight will politically
kill Gladstone and give Disrael, or perhaps
Lord Derby, the reins of power. If Queen
Victoria proves as troublesome as was George
the Third Englishmen are likely to be SO fully
occupied with the rights Of the Throne that
they will, for some time at least, have little
leisure to think of the rights of the people.

Mormon Poiygamy and Chief Justice
Mexican.

Mor'uon roiygamy and Chief Justice
Mexican.
The Chief Justice of Utah is graphing
bravely with that monstrous ''relic of bar
barism, Mormon polygamy. 1t appears, from
the telegram from Salt Lake City which we
published yesterday, that he had rejected
several of the Mormons as grand jurors on the
ground that they had avowed polygamy to be
right, revelation from God to the Mormon
Church, and that man living In polygamy is
not guilty of adultery. The argument of Judge
Mexican in making his decision is logical and
covers the whole ground. lie shows that the
plea that polygamy rs simply religious prac-
tce and that as religious federation Is one OF
the fundamental principles of American insti-
tutions is mere sophism, and that our institu-
lions do not permit the liberation of any prac-
tce that is at war with civilization. He says,
rightly, that the same plea could be made by
those who should sacrifice human beings as =
religious rite. This Mormon disgrace, which
has existed too long, is now being brought to
head. The so-called saints, and especially
Brigham Young and other leaders, seem dis
posed to show their teeth at the action of the
federal Judiciary, and trouble may grow out Of
il; but the time has arrived when this Mormon
disgrace must be removed. We hope the
Mormons may not be SO mad as to inauguratc
bloody rebellion, but, if they should, 'the
government has only one course to pursue.
They must either submit aud give up poly
gamy or remove beyond the boundaries OF the
United States. Chief Justice Mexican deserves
the commentator Of every good citizen for his
conduct in this matter

TIE HOTEL ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL Judge
Barnard rendered very important decision
yesterday, in declaring the Hotel act uncon-
stitutional and discharging lady prisoner
who bad been grievonsly wronged under it.
The Judge expressed himself in very strong
terms in regard to the members Of the Legis-
lature who had passed the act. That hotel
keepers should be protected against swim
dlcrs is undoubtedly just and proper; but
wben law under which that protection is
secured becomes absolutely oppressive and
iyrauncal the sooner il is repealed the better.

The ACCOUNTABILITY OF PAYMAsrERs. -
We publish to-day communication regarding
the accountability of paymasters, aud con-
tanning copies Of general orders issued by
the Navy Department, in which directions
are given to naval paymasters 10 re-
gard to the disposition Of public funds
in their possession. At the time Of the
issue Of these orders they formed the ground
work for a number Of severe attacks upon the
Admiral who was then the confidential adviser
of the Secretary Of the Navy; but II must be
evident to all now that IL the same course had
been adopted with the paymasiers of the army
the recent defalcation Of Major Hodge would
have sooner been detected and the government,
would not have been the loser of several hun
dred thousand dollars. The wrong doing of
Major Hodge cannot be excused; neither should
the carelessness OF those who placed 80 much
temptation in his way be passed over without
censure.

The British Iron Miners RcconciIcd To
Cnpital-Importamt Acknowledged OF the
Rights Of Labor.
The very serious aud long pro;racted labor
strike which has been maintained in the iron
mines Of Statfordshire, England, has been ter
minated by a readjustment of the relations
existing between the workmen and the CAPT
talists A new aud highly important principle
has been evolved by the crisis, one which is
likely to produce very decided consequences
on the bearing OF the industrial and social
relations not only n Britain but 10 all the
great producing countries OF the e~th. The
youngsters of England have conceded the
very fullest demand Of the workmen 10 the
matter Of fixed daily wages. They have done
still more. They agree TO share their profits
in future with the men. In the first place, the
masters have promised to pay an immediate
advance OF ten per cent on the rate of daily
wages. In the second, they promise to pay
further increase as iron goes up in price pro-
portionately TO the shipping tax on the ore.
The latter clause is of the highest Importance
not only to the StafIordsbire miners, but to
the trade of the world at large. 1t is Que of
the most direct Acknowledgements which has
been made in modern days by the ''moneyed
classes that the man of daily toll is power
on the earth that the interests of capital and
labor are identical, and that the first is honor
able aud fit for direct association with the
other.

The Universal Peace League, The Interna-
tional and the Unionists are all very much one
The Peace League is perhaps most the parent
We knew of the Peace League five years ago.
We remember meetings at Geneva, at Lau-
same and at Brussels. On Monday last the
Peace League held the first meeting of its fifth
annual session at Lausanne. 1t was very
much the International, as we have known
the International since the outburst of the
Paris Commune. So far as the Peace Society
labors for the purpose Of making an end of
war, we like it and wish ii success. But we
are not satisfied that the Peace Society has
any distinct or definite purpose. On the
opening day the President made very sensi-
BILE speech. He then submitted the programme
for the deliberation Of the Congress. The pro-
gramme was good enough. 1t WAS as fol-
lows 81. Report of the Central Committee
on the situation of the League, and the means
to extend its action. 2. The social question
Adoption of means calculated to remove the
antagonism of the different classes of society.
8. Report on the Eastern and Polish question
4. On political and International rights,
decentralization, federation, and the
question Of Alsace and Lorraine"
Still we cannot refuse to admit that in this
programme we see the International; nor can
we deny that in proportion rs we see the In
ternatonal we dislike the Peace League. On
September &c, we learn from one of our latest
cable dispatches, the Congress was tumultu-
Gus and many Of the speakers defended the
Paris Commune. After this We have no SYM
patty with the Peace Leaguers. Our idea is
that men should work for their living and not
scheme for it. Let our Peace Leaguers give
themselves to peaceful ways and work con-
scientiously for an honest living and ii is pos
sible that their example will be more potent
for good. Programmes are sometimes good,
speeches are oftentimes highly commeudable.
but in our judgment work is best. We are
long way from the first disciples. We are
further off from the ''good old gardener and
his wife," We are further of still, we hope
from the absolute authority Of quacks If our
readers are wise they will not give their
money TO Unionists or Internat!onals or Peace
Leaguers "The good time coming" must be
brought about by other and more healthful
influences.

Warnings To Man md the Refreshments OF
HumnUity.

The cable telegram news reports from
Europe which appear in the HERALD this
morning detail melancholy list Of fatal dis
asers by storm, by food, and by explosion liz
the bowels Of the earth. The ship Hesperus
was wrecked at the mouth of the Weser, and
all hands--the number is not stated
lost. The coast OF Great Britain was swept
by storm, and quite number Of ves-
sells wrecked and stranded. An unknown
vessel foundered on the Irish coast, every
person on board going down with her. An
explosion of fredamp killed thirty mon in q
mine 10 Switzerland. The saddcning effect
produced 10 The public mind by the conse-
oucnces of such affecting occurrences
was beautifully relieved by the heroism
of woman--the Grace Darling of the
dav. After six men had been swept to etere
nifty from the wreck Of the brig Manly, on
Drogheda BAR Ireland, when the boiling surf
dashed over the deck, when the stoutest men
stood paralyzcd on shore, and the Coast
Guard life boats GREY absolutely refused to
do their duty through cowardice, woman
put of from land in a small boat, struggled
to the hulk, and succeeded in taking away
the only man who still chung TO it, and landing
him alive amid her friends. A noble woman,
and in the full exercise of the woman's rights.
