our tox-poycrs. Men who were never caught
in fcIonious proximity TO their neighbor's hen
roosts took their quota and voted the Ring"
satellite into the Senate of their State. The
Camo is 70 be repeated this year, but wo trust
,r;thout success. There is not voter in the
district who docs not know that this Senator
,,ust be reelected by outright bribery If re-
elected at all; and tho XIIth District cannot
afford thus to disgrace herself a second time.
We feel confident that she will not.
The Democratic managers have made a
much larger draft on their confederates in our
State this year than they did last, know
ing that they won then, not by accessions to
their ranks, but by the heavy vote then un-
polled which is coming out this year. They
must poll Three Thousand more to win than
they called out then; and this requires heaps
of money, which they have petitioned for and
received. But there is not money enough in our
City treasury to save them if the full vote is
polled; and the Republicans are determined
to poll it, Only give us so full a vote as that
of 1SC0 and we cannot be beaten. RepubE-
cans of every city and township! if not al
ready organized, meet this erening and make
arrangements to bring your last man to the
polls next Monday

CONNECTICUT,

On the eve of their last Election, certain
Democratic wire-wOrkers came down from
Connecticut, and, by fearful tale of peril to
the Tipping interest from Republican tri-
mpb induced the LiquorDealeTs of this City
10 give them $4,000 wherowith TO elect tie
Democratic State Ticket. That sum would
not have helped them out but for the severe,
inclement weather of Election Day, whereby
thousands, two-thirds Of them Republicans,
were kept from the polls. The Democratic
strength is largely concentrated in the cities
and villages, where it can he called out with
little effort; whereas many of the farmers
must travel ten to fifteen miles in going to
and returning from the polls. This ought not
diminish the vote, but it does. Too many say
one vote will make little odds" but an
average of five in each township often decides
the result in the State. And thus was Con-
necticut thrown away last year.
The Senate district nearest tins City Is Re
publican by three to five hundred majority.
Last year, the experiment OF buying IL was
tried by the Sham Democracy. A Iammany
politician, who had been cOlOnized INTO ihat us

DEVELOPMENTS At ALBANY.

What we stated with regard to the under
standing by which Mr. Tweed obtained the
votes of nearly every Republican Senator for
his Charter last Winter, was fully admitted
by him in the Senate night before last. lie
obtained those Senator's votes, and thus crushed
out the Young Democracy, by agreeing that
the Registration Of Legal Voters in our City
should be rendered most stringent; and he full
filed his compact Now, he holds on to his
Charter, and the autocratic powers thereby con-
ferrcd on him and his crOnies, and proposes
not merely to take back the consideration. but
virtually to destroy the Registry altogether
All must realize that Registration begun the
Friday before Election and completed next
day, leaving but two days (and one of these
Sunday for scrutiny before the polls open, is
nearly the Same as abolislling the Registry.
But, in order that the remnant of Registry
shall not servo even as scarecrow, he pro-
vides that any one who shall not have been
registered may vote nevertheless upon his own
affidavit that he is voter, without any
corroboration whatever!
Mr.. Tweed, in answer to the remOnstrances
of Messrs. Parker and Kennedy, pretended
that his proposed changes did not invaldate
the Registry; but, even if they did, he was
absolved from his bargain by the acts of
Congress designed to guard against Illegal
Voting! Why not by the German capture of
PARISH This had quito as much to do with
his compact with Republican Senators as that
which serves him for a preteXt
land here let us most distinctly reitcrate that
Mr.. Tweed has broken no compact with as,
for there was none to break. We opposed his
Charter to the last, and personally urged the
Republican Senators to unite with the Young
Democracy in defeating it. Most Of them de-
clined to do so, urging the necessity of pre-
venting a repetition of the mOnstrous frauds
whereby the Electoral Vote of our State had
been stolen from Grant and Colfax, and Hoh
man foisted into the GOveTnorship. This they
said they could secure by voting for Tweed's
Charter: so they did. And now see the result j
Of course, Mr. Tweed will destroy the Regis
try, and pass bis Watcr-bill, and his Tax
Levy, and all his schemes of iniquity and
plunder; but let no Republican who helps him
ever be trusted again! If any accept his
bribes, let them take care that these be large
enough to pay them for the lifelong disdain
and scorn of those who have trusted and
honOred them. BY stealing one seat in the
Assembly, Mr. Tweed has secured Demo-
cratic majority in either House: let him never
be helped by another Republican vote that he
does not buy at the highest market price.
Such fimsy excuse as working for the Erie
Railroad" deceives no one; those who vote
for his bills and those who come up missing
when wanted to vote against them alike pro-
claim themselves unworthy of public conf
dence and intent on making money at any
cost of character or consideration. Let them
be henceforth remembered.

Most persons will be incredulOus that the
CRY of "TO the guilotine !" has been raised in
Paris, center of civilization, in this year of
grace, 1871. 1t seems a monstrous thing to
believe that the Vanguard of Liberty, as
these Communist lunatics delight to con-
slider themselves, should threaten such
thing. And yet it may come to that,
and speedily, if the Thiers government
leaves the capital long at the mercy of this
mob. 1t is not incredible that government
which began with raising the cry of "a baS les
" Riches" should speedily come to this threat
of Death, and from rash words advanced to
violent deeds. The Committee is already com
mitting acts which, though not as bloody as
those which they threaten, confirm their
madness. They have issued proclama-
tons with no wiser purpose than to
remit lodgers' rents, to order search for
women's jewelry, and to prohibit the perform
ance of masses in the prisons. The Place Ven
dome is plastered with placards of like i'm
port, not to mention more idle ones which en-
courage the wild mob with predictions of the
Universal Republic" 1t is q mystery that
such Committee should have stability
enough to hold together even for day,
and the most natural termination of such
a government, thus insanely directed, is
that the strong and most violent
half of the leaders should guillotine the weaker
faction. If NJ. Thiers does not soon give the
Communists cause to use their muskets against
the Government troops, the madmeD seem
likely enough to employ the guillotine upon
each other. There is an intimation, which
we do not fully credit, that the troops of the
Government are prepared to move by Sunday
next, and that the Communists are already
marching upon Versailles. 1t does not seem
possible that the Gardes Mobiles could have
concentrated in sufficient force for move
ment at this time, and the organization of the
tratorous Nationals cannot be much further
advanced.

A great meeting is to be held at the Cooper
Union on next Thursday to give voice to the
general sentiment of the respectable portion
of New-York, without distinction of parties
in condemnation of the several startling
measures now pending and dangerously near
passage at Albany, such as the Two Per Cent
Tax bill, the bill for the establishment of
Parochial Schools, the bill for modifying the
Registry law. and the like. There are some
indications that Mr.. Tweed has begun to find
himself again oppressed by the severity OF
public condemnation which his gross bad
faith is provoking; and it is possible that the
coming demonstration may have some effect.
At any rate, let us show on which side are
the intelligence, the morality, and the respect

Something more than the guarded disclaimer
of Gov. English will be required to dlsprOve
the truth of the revelation concerning bis
communications with Tweed and the infamous
bargain made between the Connecticut De-
mocracy and Tammany to carry the State
election for their party. Gov. English does
not deny that such dispatch was sent, and
the reward which he offers is for I" the convic-
" ton of the person who forged the dispatch"
There was no forgery in the case; the
dispatch was genuine, and Gov. English will
not deny it. Indeed, he gives probability to
the story which he tries thus indirectly to
impeach by admitting that he had sent other
dispatches to Tweed and O'Gorman. Certif-
Gates from the managers of the telegraph
lines of New-Haven that no such dispatch as
that which we published yesterday had been
sent from their Offices are also given, but we
never said it was There are other telegraph
offices in Connecticut besides those in Hartford.
Gov English must find some better evidence
against the dispatch which, to his evident
CONSERVATION, has Unexpectedly reached the
light

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
taken the advice Of THE TRIBUNE, and made
more careful examination of the new Tax law,
the result of which is a notice to assessors and
assistant assessors that no person whose gross
income during the year 1870 did not exceed
g, 900 is required to make any return or take
the affidavit prescribed in the regulations
already issued Perhaps it would have been
better if the meaning Of the law had been as
certained before the blanks were printed; but
the mistakes in preparing those documents
have now been fully corrected, so we shall not
complain. AS the law and the regulations now
stand, persons whose gross income does not
exceed $4,000 need not concern themselves
with the tax at all. Other persons must make
a sworn statement of their gross tdrdbte IN
come, after deducting the sums authorized by
law, but need not give tho sources OF their
revenue, or any other details about it what
ever. OF course this laxity of the law viii
facilitate false statements, and when the pro-
ceeds of the tax come TO be compared with The
cost of collection, the wisdom OF repeating 1t
altogether will be more than ever apparent.
