FRIDAY, NOVEMBER s, 1872.
Tho Victory.

The dispatches in our columns
this week tell the tale of one of the
most complete and significant polit.
ical victories ever won in this coun-
try. The incongruous combination
which in the name of Horace Gree
ley, and by means most dishonest,
unfair and mischieyous, sought to
wrest the administration of public
affairs from the hands of the Repub-
lican party, are buried beneath such
an avalanche of popular disapproval
as must convince even them that the
American people are not to be in
duccd by insincere words, or gilt
tering promises, to abandon the
support of the great Republican
party with its record of honest ad-
ministration, of pledges redeemed,
of national honor and credit sus-
tanned, of economy and efficiency of
public service, and its policy of
cven-handed justice to all classes Of
citizens.
Three-quarters Of the States, some
of them by majorities unprecedent-
ed, repudiate the miserable shams
and chicanery Of the Liberal move
ment. The people, by popular ma
jority, which seems likely to be even
larger than that Of four years ago,
declare their still abiding faith and
confidence in General Grant, and
their approval of his administration
of the affairs of the nation; and, at
the same time, express their wither-
ing scorn and contempt for the
party which, by foul detractiol and
shameless falsehood, has sought to
hlacken the fair fame Of 4 patriot
soldier and faithful public servant.
Not less conspicuous is the rebuke
administered to the slandcrous crew
in this District, who have so mali
ciously and vindictivcly sought to
drag down to their own level our
faithful Representative, Hon. w. G.
DOMAIN.
The victory is more overwhelm-
ing than Republicans had dared to
hope for, and shows how utterly the
insincere clamor for "reform" and
reconciliation" failed to commend
itself to the popular heart.

The New York Daily Bulletin
dwells upon the practical impor-
lance to the United States of the
San Juan adjustment. 1t not only
confirms American supremacy on
the Pacific coast, and gives us i'm
portant advantages in reference to
the trade Of China and Japan, and
the commerce Of the Amoor, but
cit also gives the Northern Paci-
tic Railroad, now in rapid process
Of construction, the advantage Of
one Of the finest harbors Oh the
Pacific coast near its western tcrmi-
nus. And if the Canadian Pacific
should ever be built, the. Eastern
traffic, on which it will SO largely
depend for through freight, must
be conveyed through the Canal de
Haro and the harbor of San Juan.
Thus we possess the largest and, in
fact, the only harbors on the Paci-
tic seaboard-San Diego, on the ex-
IRENE south, being the complement
of San Juan on the northern point,
with San Francisco half way be-
tween. AS for Alaska, it will be 4
generation or more before its COM
merclal advantages can be develop
ed, although even at present it is
the center Of a rapidly increasing
trade. We thus, as it were, stretch
both arms, at distance of over q
thousand miles apart, to take in the
commerce Of China, Japan, Austria
liza and Asiatic Russia, and in few
years we shall have three great
lines of transcontincntal railway
communicating with the Atlantic
SpohoorI ,;

THE Cedar Rapids Republicam is
concerned that popular ideas of
morality and virtue have become SO
vague nowadays as to allow women
to violate its canons of good taste
aud proprlety by appearing before
the public as speakers on political
topics. 1t says:
"It is bad enough for men to call
their opponents liars, villains,
thieves, vulturcs, political monte
banks, and even worse names, in the
heated controversy of Presidential
campaign, but we can not see the
propriety in women taking upon
themselves the responsibility of ma.
king political speeches"
If the above is the idea entertain
ed by the Republican regarding
what political speech must of ne
ccssity be, we do not wonder that
it deprecates the occupancy of the
rostrum by women. But it nigh,
be profitable for our contemporary to
inquire whether scurrility and Wilt.
fication are inevitable and neccssa-
ny adjuncts to political discussion.
Certainly if men cannot restrain
themselves on such occasions from
calling each other by the opprobri'
GUS epithets named by the RepubH-
can, it is time that some OF our
bright, clever, refined women set
them an example Of courtesy and
good breeding.

To the Old Post.

There is no doubt that the public.
will applaud as appropriate and
timely the determination of Horace
Greeley, as expressed in card in
the New York Tribune yesterday to
return to the cditorship Of that
journal, relinquished as he says six
month ago, con embarking in an
other line Of business" in which it
is unnecessary to remark he failed
utterly. Neither will the late read
ers of the Tribune be sorry to learn
that Mr.. Greeley proposes TO again
place it on the plane Of respectable
ity, by making it "thoroughly in
dependent journal, treating all par
ties and political movements with
judicial fairness and candor, but
counting the favor and deprecating
the wrath of no one" OF course to
accomplish this, the first step will
necessarily be the deposition or sub
ordination of the present editor, who
in six months has degraded the
Tribune to the standard of Pom
eroy's Democrat. In conclusion
Mr.. Greeley says that if he "can
hereafter say anything that will
tend to heartily unite the whole
American people on the broad plat
form of universal amnesty and i'm
partial suffrage l will gladly do so;
for the present however, / can best
commend that contamination by
silence and forbearance." The last
sentence is CLEAN Of Mr.. Greeley's
old common sense. Silence will
best become him under the circum-
stances. The people have just
spoken in tolerable distinct tones
upon the subjects indicated by Mr.
Greeley, and unless he chooses to
acquicsce in that decision, it will be
better not to speak at all.
But we rejoice that Mr.. Greeley
goes back to the Tribune. There
he can do world of good, and
win back the respect and confidence
well nigh wrecked in aspiring for a
place not fitted for his temperament
or peculiar powers.

Tho Etln cation Of Daughters.
ON the Cleveland (O.) Herald

From the Cleveland (O.) Herald.
We latcIey gave very nice letter
from a "Boarding School Friend"
In that letter occurred this question,
supposed to be asked by a mother:
"Where Shall ] put my daughters
Our CORES i'ondent gave her answer,
and We bog to give ours.
In this d..y Of easy parting Of
American mother and daughter. for
purposes of education, or travel, or
mere pleasure, just in the tender
years of the daughter, the question
is one Of very deep interest. and one
American mothers should take TO
heart with all the weight Of that
responsibility that attaches to the
delicate duty Of molding the Ameri-
cap female mind, manners and NOR
als. Our answer will not suit the
fashion Of tho day, but there are
scores Of mothers who viii yield a
hearty "Amcn" to it.
Keep the daughter during her
tender years when her character Is
forming just as near the mother as
possible. Part not the mother and
daughter unless there exists a me-
cessity that is perfectly overruling.
There is no boarding school this
side of heaven that can supply the
mothers place. The knowledge
been the two lids Of all the books
extant is of far less value to the
girl than the care, the counsel, the
example of q yearning mother.
There must be boarding schools,
but those girls who by force of
circumstances are obliged to 40
away from home to school arc to be
commiserated, for they are taken
away from the mother just when
they should have the mothers care,
and the best boarding school on

democratic ideas of philosophy and
limitations of government. The
true explanation of this defeat is
not to be found in the nomination of
Greeley, but it that of the previous
letting down Of the party hope
which reconcilcd our national con
ycntion to an act of desperation.
The Times considers the work of
the Republican party not finished,
although the election is over, and
says we have, as party, yet to
prove that we deserve control of
pnblic affairs, and that can only be
done by unremitting care and a
careful consideration of the wishes
and interest Of the people, and of
pursuing a liberal policy worthy of
the period in which we live.

IT would be cruel to seriously
criticize the many and ingenius the
cries and moral reflections which
find place in the journals belonging
to the late political confederation,
designed to account for tho earth
quake of last Tuesday. They will
serve the good purpose Of letting
their writer's down easy, and in
some cases act as safety-valvc for
the release of gases which might
otherwise have unhealthy effect
OF the latter character is the follow.

buque 7s1egropA:
"The people are beaten. The
principles Of free, honest govern

stands erect and triumphant over

ty, gloating in its victory and mock
ing the idea that the people rale.-
But though the people are defeated
by the force Of power and the cor

are those in whose bodies the spirit
Of freemen still live, and who will
rise again to contend against dcs-
potic power, and contest its right to
subiugate the people and rule in OPP
position to their will. Though de-
ffeatcd, the people are not yet sub

not yet reduced to yassalage nor

Foreign travel, under the lead of
a hired governess, is no such train
ing as young girl can have under
the lead of a mothers apron string.
There is nothing can supply the
place, to the character just forming,
of the judicious educated mother,
and the fearful evil of to-day is the
fashionable cruelty that dictates
separation of daughter and mother
just at the tenderest time of the
young girls life.

The Now York Press on tho Ele ction

The Tribune cditorially says that
Gen. Grant was yesterday reelected
by the popular votes ofcvery North
crn State, with those of South Caro-
lima and possibly two or three others
bclew t line. There is scarcely
parallel to the completeness of
the rout and triumph. The Demo
Gratis have We'd with the Liberal
Republicans in contributing to it,
some by voting directly for Grant
electors, and many more by neglect
ing to vote at all for President.
The Liberal movement seems to be
crushed. The Tribune reviews the
causes which lead to this recult, and
gives numerous reasons for it, adj
vocating 4 change in the admins
tration. In conclusion it says:
"Grant now has four years lease
Of power, with congress, of which
two-thirls or thrce-fourths of either
house will support him zcalously.
He has every facility for ctfecting
the reforms no is said to mediate,
and that of civil service, while the
abolition of the much abused frank
ing privilege is SO squarely pro.
nonnccd that its success would
seem assured. For whatever re-
form he may give us he shall have,
from the Tribune, u cordial re
cogntion and praise; where he fails,
he shall have in the future, as in the
past, frank and fearless criticism"
The Herald, editorially reviewing
the result, says: "It is in many re-
spects the most remarkable of any
Of the presidential elections in the
history of the United States. The
defeat of the Liberals in this State
is attributed to the unwise nomina-
ton of Herman against Dix for
governor"
The Herald advises the liberals
to consider well on the blunders
made by the leaders of their Marty
in this campaign, and to recognize
the necessity of y more practical op.
position programme than that of
Sumner, Trumbull and Schurz, as
embodied in Greeley and Brown.
The Herald also advocates the
necessity Of a new cabinet after the
4th of next March, and a change Of
policy with Spain and Mexico.
The World has a two and a half
column editorial on the causes of
failure, and shows that this deplor-
able aspect originated over two
years ago, when the World sounded
notes OF warning all over the coun-
try. In reviewing tho action of the
democrats it says: ''Ifthc democrats
had not been reduced to feeling
bordering on despair previous to
this event it would not have tolcra-
ted for an instant the candidate
whose whole history represented
everything which was hostile to

THE Dubuque Times estimates
that Mr.. Donnan will have 500
majority in Winneshcik, $50 in Fay
cite, 800 in Delaware, and $50 in
Buchanan-3,4Oo, and that Stone
mans majorities will be, in Dubu-
que 1900, in Clayton $50, and in
Alamakee 25O-l,9oO, thus giving
Mr.. Donnan 500 majority.
The Herald's estimate gives
Donnan $50 in Delaware and 500 in
Buchanan-morc than $50 below the
true fgures-and by swelling Stone
mans majorities in Dubuque and
Clayton manages to reduce Dom
mans majority in the District to
1000. We submit that even that
is pretty good for a candidate which
according to the Heraid was sure
of overwhelming defeat.
