pEwOCRATIC VICTORIES.

The Albany Argus claims that the
town elections in New York, on the Sd
inst, resulted in total rout of the Re-
publican party. In its issue of the 9th
the Argus gives the result of the cleo
tons for supervisors in thirty-four
counties, touching which it says:
In these counties, in 1872, the Re-
pubEcans had a majority of 202. Last
year their majority was reduced to 36;
while this year the aggregate OPPOSE
ton majority is 80. Two years ago
they carried two-thirds of all the towns
in the State; last year they had a large
majority; this year they are reduced to
a minority. The opposition gain "a
towns as compared with last year, and
24O as compared With 1872! Even this
comparison, however, does not place
the story in its most significant light.
Two years ago the Republican
party carried thirty of the thir-
ty-four Boards of Supervisors,
from which we have complete returns
as given below; this year, they carry
but ten. The fullness Of the vote at
the recent elections is as remarkable as
the results. The people are evidently
aroused to the necessity of giving per-
sonal attention to the conduct of pub
lie affairs. Reform at last moves
along the proper channels. 1t aims to
secure honest government by placing
honest men in Office. Ten counties, in
l,lf e Al, =, oil
which remain to the Republican party.
The gains count by hundreds. In the
history of the State such a revolution
in two years is without precedent.
Then, two thirds of the State was I'M
der Administration control; now, the
opposition has a clear majority, and
| the prospect is, will retain 1t to the end.
| The cities feel the reaction. Even where
the Republicans elect their candidates
for Mayor, as in Utica and Rochester,
the Common Councils are Democratic,
and most of the officers are or soon will
be. Well may it be said that a party
has been lost. There is little trace of
the Republican party In New York to-
! day. Supremacy confident two years
ago, and with apparently permanent
lease of power at the close of 1872, it
is already reckoned among the things
which were There is no mistaking
of this political revolution. The first
year of Grants second term closes with
the conviction in every mind that his
administration is plundering and pro.
fgate one; and that reform must begin
with the reorganization ofpartiCs."

SENATOR sCHUR&S WORD TO
WARMERS

In his speech In the Senate recently,
opposing currency initiation, Senator
Schurz spoke as follows:
IF farmer or planter could initiate
the currency and run up the premium
on gold when he sells his crops, and
then so manipulate the currency as to
raise the value of paper money and de-
press the premium on gold when he
buys his supplies, of course that would
be winning trick. But those who
buy from and who sell to him would
try to play the same game; and IN this
tricky game the honest farmer would
be sure to come to grief, as he has
come to grief already. No; if the
farmer or planter wants to prosper be
will, above all things, use every effort
within his power to rid the country of a
system of currency which obliges him
to sell at low and buy at high
prices. He may for n moment
think that imitation will aid him
in paying off his debts, if he
has any; but upon consideration he
will discover that debts are paid out of
surplus earnings, and that his earnings
Will be depressed when the price Of
what he buys is high In proportion to
the price of what he sells; that his sur
plus earnings will grow larger as soon
as the price of what he sells Is put
upon an equal footing with the price of
what he buys. He will discover that
the trick of depreciating the legal ten
der by initiation, in order to pay what
he owes in a currency less valuable,
will not rebound to his advantage IN the
end, and that in this, as in all other
things, honesty is, after all, the best
policy. He will discover that an hon.
est currency, which permits him to buy
and sell on the same basis of value, is
for him the safest basis of prosperity,
and trust the time is not far distant
when the farmers, whatever articles of
demagogism may be used at present
upon them, will, as one man, stand up
honestly and intelligently for the earh-
est possible return to specie pay
ments"
When the currency Of the country
varies as much in quantity and value as
corn and cotton, it gives spectators
every advantage over producers. 1t is
ike changing at will the quantity of
iron, grain, or cotton that shall weigh
one hundred pounds; or the weight of
silver that shall make a dollar. 1t is
important to understand that the only
check on the harm that Congress can
do, and is likely to do, is an enighten-
ed, sound public opinion. This salutary
restraint is alike indispensable and in
valuable. Noamount ofcurrency creates
wealth; that must come from produc-
tivelabor, and primarily fromthe earths
fruitfulness. Who would regard that
an honest half bushel for the seller or
purchaser, which held sixteen quarts
one day, seventeen thenext, and fifteen
on the third day? This is precisely the
half bushel that Congress now uses to
measure all grain and seeds for farmers
and merchants.

THE WayaesbOro Citizen, sprightly
journal started at the county seat of
Wayne, under the editorship of R. P.
Cypert, goes back to first principles
and needn't care whether Congress in
fate or contract. 1t proposes to take in
payment Of subscriptions "all kinds of
barter, such as corn, fodder, oats, hay,
bacon, lard, dried apples, onions, pota-
toes, dry or sailed hides, butter, eggs,
-four, meal, ginseng, beeswax, tallow,
feathers and rags, at the highest market
price" This puts the paper in reach
Of every one, no matter how tight
money may be.

SnLbADL 0A~6.--*1 - @.<@
The ladies engaged in the temper
ance struggle have two objects IN view:
the suppression of the liquor traffic and
the reformation of men. They hope to
accomplish the latter by the former,
and the former by the latter, and, in
order to do the work effectualy, both
by each other. Their field work is to
look whisky out of countenance by
standing face to face with it from day
to day; and to press the pledge. In
Greeneville they have been prosecuting
these tasks for some weeks and
we may now review their work.
All who have kept posted must
agree that their efforts have been per-
sistent and strenuous. The liquor bus
mess there seems, for the time being at
least paralysed. Two saloons have
closed and the custom of the two re-
naming has been largely curtailed.
When Mrs. Wards license expired an
effort was MADE to prevent its renewal.
The town council declared her bust
ness a nuisance, and, it seems,
had ventured to say that no
licenses should be renewed. That,
legally, is no more than private opin-
ion publicly expressed. The Legisla-
ture would hardly license what it con-
siders a nuisance, and the Judiciary are
bound to carry out the intention of the
Lawmakers. Mrs. Ward appeared ike
ly to experience. in getting her legal
right enforced, difficulty which would
defeat any but herself. We have no
measurefor the length ofherpersistence,
nor any fathom for the depth of her
determination, for the municipal author
tiles succumbei early to this deter
mined woman, and have already re-
newed her license. But the action of
the council IN the first instance, though
it receded from position it could not
legally maintain, is enough to prove
that a strong repulsion to drunkenness
has been developed throughout a
large community. There is uncontro-
verted testimony that the people
Of that town and county are seriously
aroused against intemperance. There
are persons, it is true, who do not
heartily approve of the ladies' nsOdHs
operandi, but even these are reader
friends of temperance, possibly, than
they were before. Hundreds have
signed "the pledge" whatever that is.
Public opinion is more acute, more
active, and more sensitive. Much of
the work, therefore, has been effective.
