u;,be ITO tho party organs in the press and ON

Hthe-to tho party organs in the press and on
the pla,s,so have not condescended to treat
this matte,- with seriousness. Perhaps they
will do 40 nov that it is too late. No mis-
take thew have ever made was so unnecessary
and 30 damaging as that of pretending, first,
that Grant was not o candidate for reelection.
and second, that nobody believed he was.
He has himself shown how false was the first
pretense By republishing bis Cincinnati letter
virtually avowing bis candidacy, and the Re-
publicans who have gone to the polls to make
an effective protest against the scheme have
convinced every ono of the futllity OF the
second. The action of the party upon this
question has been equally destitute OF tace
and honesty. While certain leading he
publicans refused to say word in public
upon the matter, they frankly denounced tho
Presidents third term aspirations In private.
and the more sagacious OF them wished the
party to speak in that sense at Utica. Gov.
Dix. when urged to declare himself ON
this most important subject by men who were
anxious to support him, did violence to lis
own convictions by yielding to the counsois
of those who imagined that evading such a
question was better than answering II. TX
there is now any Republican OF any promi-
nence in the party who does not think that
this trifling with the most vital question OK
the campaign was a great error we should
certainly advise those who wish the party 10
exist after this to reduce this unteachaD.e
leader to the ranks without delay.
1t has been, as we have said before, a CAM
paign of errors. The attempt to win 1t upon
a cry of hatred and revenge against the south
has pitiably failed. The whole business was
founded upon falsehood. promptly detected
and exposed. The attempt to dodge the ques-
ton of the Presidents aspirations was as i'm
prudent as it was timd. The President is not
to be feared as much as the votes OF men
actuated by well-founded dlstrust Tho
attempt to "vindicate' worthless politicians
showed ignorance of the proper relation OK
means to ends. They could not have Their
lost characters renovated, and the party was
damaged in trying it, Whether the disasters
of the year are to be fatal to the organizaticn
depends upon the way in which the managers
interpret their significance. But it is suia
that unless they recognize what has hurt them'
they will soon be past surgery.
New-York tribune., 1874-11-04

public that he would not assent to the Presi-
dents designs. To his irresolute refusal, and
to tho behavior of the Utica Convention which
indirectly favored the Third Term, may be
ascribed the crushing defeat Of the party.
Gov. Dix was stronger than Grant in this
State. Unfortunately for him. he would not
recognize this fact, and the unequal partner
shin has ruined him. Everywhere else, the
result has been similar. 1t is not anywhere
mere Democratic victory. 1t is the protest OF
all classes of citizens against an Administra-
ton which supported Jayne, which enriched
Sanborn, which lobbied the Salary Bill through
Congress, which established its Kelloggs in the
South by perjured judges and misused bayonets,
and tried to sustain them by slandering an
injured people, and which had just put itself
forward with the insolent claim for perpet-
uation of power. The public had grown weary
of six years of rule remarkable for nothing
but laundering and greed. The demand for
an indefinite extension of such misrule was too
much for good nature. It needed the sharp
answer it has received. This is the end of
Grantism. 1t is not the revival Of the Rebellion
nor the defnitive rehabilitation of the Demo-
cratic party 1t simply eliminates Grantism
from politics as an impertinent factor, and
leaves the two parties confronted-so evenly
matched that both must hereafter bo careful
to make no mistakes. The future belongs to
the one who shall earn it.

II the Canadian Government hesitates'as to
the policy of executing Lepine, who was i'm
plicated in the North West insurrection, 1t may
take hint from the meeting of French Cana
dians at Quebec, which shows very clearly
that the death of Lepine would be regarded by
them as an act of persecution. The embittered
feeling which would thus be likely to arise
would naturally tend to dissensions very IN
furious to peace and good government.

Some progress was made yesterday in the
Safe Burglary case, Mr.. Alexander testifyins
to his suspicion that Hayes was contriving o
plot against him. The District law In respect
to the rights of married women was dis.
cussed, and decision rendered to the effect
that they are one with their husbands and
cannot testify separately. The case now be-
gins to open in the direction of Harringtons
management for the release OF the burglar
Benton, and points to the intimacy OF those
wOrthies.

passed or postponed yesterday in the closing
session of the Episcopal Convention. The at
tendance had gradually dwindled with the in
terest, and business was rapidly driven through
till the final adjournment was effected. After
this, the pastoral address of Bishop Potter
proved an agreeable relief, and the delegates
rested from their labOrs while listening to his
careful review of the evidences of external
and internal Church progress, and his DIS
course on the liberty wherewith Christ has made
his people free.
In recent letter our correspondent in Ala
bama sketched the bitter hostility with which
the negroes of that State prosecuted the rev
of their number that voted with the whites
How truly this was described may be seen In
this mornings dispatches. An election riot,
In which several persons were killed and
many severely wounded, originated at the
polls at Eufaua in the abuse heaped upon
Democratic negro. the first shot being fired by
the leader in the abuse. But the dispropOr-
tionate number of negroes killed and wounded
indicates that the whites were the better
armed, and used their weapons pitilessly.
Speaker Blaine kept up to the last moment
his ridiculous calumny about the Democrats
and the XIVth Amendment. To justify his
misstatement of the fact he renewed his asser-
ton that the 662 delegates to the Baltimore
Convention who voted to sustain the three
last Amendments of the Constitution, did so
falsely, as "a huge joke" The vote OF the
people who listened to Mr.. Blaine indicates
that they took q different view of the joke,
and found the falsehood on the other side.
Mr.. Blaine once imperhnently went out of his
way in public speech to declare that liars
should have long memories. 1t is good
axiom for him to recall.
The decision of Attorney General Williams
in the case of Gen. o. O. Howard, making him
liable in civil suit for money received as tho
interest on Government bonds, may give that
officer great deal of trouble. 1t appears that
he used this money in the payment OF bona
fde claims on the Government, and while there
was no intentional dishonesty about this dis
posal of the money, he has become liable for
it as if he were defaulter. The benefit having
wholly accrued to the Government, the offense
against the law is rather technical than real,
and the principal object of suit would be to
prevent the acts of Gen. Howard becoming a
precedent in the case of officials whose honesty
is more open to question.
Isaac II. Bailey is defeated. James
O'Brien is believed to be, though at this
writing returns from his District are not
all in. They will be found on other pages.
James Hayes Is defeated. Winchester Brit
ton goes through on the tide. In spite
of the avalanche VIM. Walter Phelps
seems to be elected. Ellis II. Roberts of Utica
is defeated. So is Walter L. Sessions of Chau-
tauqua, notwithstanding the most profigate
use of money.
