SOME INSTRUCTIVE FACTS.

In all cases where the contest be-
tween the Democratic and the Repub-
ican parties in New York at the late
election was a square one, the latter
was beaten. To show this a compari-
son is made by the Nel1 York World be-
tween the votes which Mr.. Nichols,
Democratic candidate for Comptroller,
and Mr.. Fort, Republican candidate
for State Treasurer, received, These
two are taken as the fairest basis OF
comparison, because neither was en-
dorsed by the Liberals. Their votes
therefore gave a fair ideaof the strength
of each party. A comparison of the
vote shows the following result:
Vote for Nichols, Democrat. ..,.. 333, SOP
Vote for Fort, Republican. ....... 329,235
Nichols in excess of Fort. 1867
Thus it will be seen that on a leading
candidate in each party, neither OF
whom had the Endorsement or support
of the Liberals, the Democrats poll A.
567 more votes than the Republicans.
The case of Sweet against Taylor for
the Office of State Engineer was much
stronger one, and had the Liberal vote
been given to the latter, as it was not,
it would have failed to save him. The
strengthen the Liberals, or rather of
those who cling to that organization, is
shown by a comparison of the vote for
Mr.. Willers and Mr.. Nichols on the
Democratic side, and Mr.. Hopkins and
Mr.. Thayer on the Republican side:
Willers, Democrat, Endorsed by the
Liberals, received. ............. 34l,U90
Nichols, Democrat, who was not so
Mindorsed, received. ............. 333, SUI
The Liberal vote for Mr.. Willers.. 1924
Hopkins, Republican, Endorsed by
the Libetals, received, .,,...,,, ,975
Thayer, Republican, who was not
Endorsed by the Liberals, re-
celved. ..........'..''.'.' o0o'+Io
Liberal vote for Mr.. Hopkins. 49,. 1900
Thus the managersof the Liberal par
ty have been able to control few more
than 1000 votes. The former Liberal
vote was not all cast for the Liberal
ticket; thousands of those who cut
loose from the Administration Repub-
ican party last year have cast their
vote with the Democratic party and
voted the entire ticket, and will hence
forth act and work with the Democrats,
with an earnestness and conviction that
indicated perfect satisfaction and trust
in the party and cause of reform to
which they had attached themselves.
The official returns of the Wis
consin election completely mega
tives the pretease set up by
the Administration organs that the re-
suit in that State was brought abont
by the Republicans staying away from
the polls. They show, afirmatively and
positively, that it was a victory for the
reform party gained solely by the posi-
tive strength of that party in the State.

ANALABAMA SENATOR.

The subjoined confession, published
inthe Montgomery Advertiser, shows the
kind of stuff of which Radical Senators
are often made in the Southern States:
G. w. Hatch is the Senator from Hale
county-elected by the negroes over the
regular Republican nominee and a
Democrat-and to whose admission to
his seat in the Senate when the Legis-
lature met few days ago, unavailing
opposition was made. This confession
is fully sustained by official letters fully
confirming anticipating it.sIt is duelto
Senator Harris, of Russell, to say that he,
though Republican, raised the obJec-
ton to Hatch and called for an investi-
cation before seating him; but the ma
iority of his party were against him
and they voted Hatch in. Here is
Hatch's confession:

AT a meeting held in New York at
an early day of the late financial
troubles, Judge Pierrepont, one of the
staunchest supporters of the Grant ad-
ministration, said:
"Our troubles come of a vicious
system of finance, which has stimulat-
ed foreign imports, led to luxury and
extravaganza in every walk of life.
Truth now asserts her sway, and sham
crumbles into dust; and the day of
reckoning has come, and the insane rev.
elry must be paid for"
Our "vicious system of finance" is of
Republican parentage, and has been
hitherto lauded to the skies by Repub-
ican orators. What have Judge Pierre
points Republican brethren in Con-
gress to say now.

HOW THE GOVERNMENT BOLSTER
ED Up THE COOKIES.

The Miluoaukee Sentinel, the leading
Republican journal in Wisconsin, in
enumerating the causes of the Repub-
ican defeat in that State, says the Jay
Cooke failure shook public confidence,
and caused loud demand for reform
at Washington. 1t appears from de-
velopments which are not disputed, that
the government was in the habit of
bolstering the Cookies in the most IN
warrantable ways. The Secretary of
the Treasury allowed Cookies bank in
Washington the use of large sums of
money without security. Deposits of
government money in other banks
throughout the country were secured
according to law, but the Cookies were
made an exception. How could the
government lose two hundred thousand
dollars by the failure of the First Ma
tional Bank of Washington, if the
law had been complied with? And
the sum lost might have been much
larger had the suspension of the bank
occurred at an earlier date. A cor
respondent of the Neic York Sun makes
a statement on the authority of the
Hon. John Lynch, of Maine, who was
member of the House Committee on
Banking and Currency, that there was
at one time a government deposit of
$1,000, 900 in this same First National
Bank. This was discovered during the
investigation last winter of the causes
which led to the failure of the Mer-
chants National Bank, of Washington.
1t is also stated that the First National
was at that time engaged in an effort to
bolster up the lettering Merchants at
the government expense. Whether or
not.the deposit of S7,6OO,OOO was fully
secured it is impossible to say. The
Law requires that the Secretary of
the Treasury shall demand from all
United States repositories ample Sc
curity "in United States bonds and
otherwise" The United States bonds
must be put up as security. If the
Law was violated in the case of the
100000 deposit. it may also have been
violated when there was a deposit of
S7,6O0,OOO; and, if the crisis had come
then, the Government would have been
compelled to stand the larger loss.
This case demands investigation, and
it should not be delayed. The country
should know whether the Secretary of
the Treasury has been in the habit of
depositing money in Cookies banks
without the security demanded by the
law. If the Secretary is guilty of this
unlawful proceeding, let the fact be
made known, and let him be punished
as he deserves. If he were Democrat,
the country would not be long in learn
ing the exact state of the case, for
there are Congressman who would
hardly have waited for an organiza-
ton to proceed in the matter of inves-
tigating 80 serious charge. The fact
that the Secretary is a Republican
should not be allowed to screen him.

THE Telegraph reports gratifying
increase in the business of Macon, Ca,

f1ueneA.

THE Boston Herald hits the nail on
the head when it says: Had Horace
Greeley been elected President, and the
panic had come, how every anti Greeley
oracle in the land would have cried
aloud, 81 told you So" In fact,
they did demonstrate in advance that
the election of Greeley would shake the
whole fabric of the public credit and
plunge the country into bankruptcy and
ruin. 1t is singular fact that all the
evils they predicted under Greeley have
come under Grant, and it seems to in
dictate that the organs are cross-eyed.

@OCEAN PERIIS."

Underthis heading, the Cincinnati Times
publishes this fine bit of word-painting:
There is something inexpressibly sad and
dreadful about the idea Of wreck far out
at sea. Ali the elements of the sublime,
the mysterious, and the awful are united in
the destruction of ship upon the ocean by
collision, fire, or storm; or, more terrible
yet, wrecked upon the breakers, gored and
ground to pieces by the cruel rocks, rent
and torn by the screaming hurricane, and
sucked down by thefoaming, sWirling Whirl-
pools. And how awful is the cloud of
mystery that surrounds the fate of those
ships that sailed away to sea and never re-
turned! From the lofty deck, as the
snowy sails were shaken out and
caught the bracing morning breeze, depart
ing loved ones waved us a fond farewell,
and the last futter of handkerchief is
seen through tears that blur and dim the
vision. Then come the months of waiting;
at first, calmly, hopefully; then with vague
uneasinesS which is more than half pre-
sentiment; then with open anxiety, dread
uncertainty, and at last fixed despair. What
a grim and horrible pathOs is in all that!
What imaginings haunt them who saw those
who were held dear go out from shore in
that Inflated ship that was never heard OF
again! What dreadful pictures will the
Mortified imagination draw of the scene
when that gallant ship went down in mid
ocean, A sky as black as ink, save when
vivid tongues of flame dart through the
sable pail, Clouds and sea are COM
mingled in hideous uproa; the mad
dened ocean boils and roars and
losses its foaming crests to the sky. Amid
this war of winds and waves, in the thick
darkness, in the CHASTITY glare of the light
ming, the doomed ship is struggling like a
living thing for life, now forced to the sum-
nit of mountainous wave, caught by the
shrieling, bowling winds, whirled about,
torn, buffetted, then dragged down by the
waters again, as though they envied the
winds their chance to torture her, into the
black depths of the trough, crushed, pound
ed, whelmed, until she struggles up again,
like poor wounded thing, among the bay
ing, sIarling hounds. Soon the unequal
conflict is over. Mingled with the roar of
the elements, sounds the shrill, terrible cry
that only human soul sends forth when
it looks at last into the very face of death;
and the winds and waters are bowling in
triumph over the grave Of their victim.
