There are still something less than dozen
nominations" and elections to be held, withir
the next two months.
Wilmington daily commercial., 1874-09-02

There was some illegal voting, yesterday, and
some, it seems by colored men, under the in
huence of such bad advisers as the one who
wrote the Infamous communication in Monday
Republicdn, melting to violation Of the law.
There was such a case in the First Ward, due
to the persuasions Of Postal Service official
and much to the latters dscredit. The better
class OF colored men, as we know, frown upon
these misdeeds, but all their race and the Re-
publican Party suffer from the odium which
they entail Let the disgrace and the responsi.
bility rest where they belong-not on the igno-
rant men who are used but on those who per-
suade and incite them to wrong doing.
The State election in Vermont took place
yesterday. The returns show slight dc.
crease in the Republican majorities for State
officers, compared with those of 1872, and
also indicate that the Democrats have gained
several Representatives and county officers. In
the First and Third Congressional Districts the
Republican candidates elected as usual III
the Second, owing to bolt from the Poland
Republicans, there is probably no choice.

The English Elections.

The returns, so far as they are now before
us, afford conclusive proof that the present
election contest in England is more than
ordinarily keen. During the course of last
week to Saturday there were forty-eight Par
liamentary elections; of the members re-
turned the liberals claim twenty and the
conservatives twenty-eight This, it must
be admitted, is a large conservative gain,
and it is not to be disputed that if the
same proportion is maintained in the re-
turns from the other five hundred and odd
constituencies yet to be heard from Mr.. Glad
stone will find it necessary, when Parliament
meets in March, to give place to his great
rival and take his seat on the opposition
benches 1t is too soon, however to predict
the final result with anything like confidence.
There are. very few returns as yet from Scot
land and the only news from Ireland bearing
on the contest is that many Home Rulers not
outstanding the shortness of the time al
lowed them to prepare, have announced them
selves as candidates, and that they have fair
prospect OF success. AS yet none of the
members of the Cabinet have been defeated.
The Attorney General, Mr.. Henry James, has
been returned without opposition from Taun-
ton. Mr.. Lowe runs unopposed for the Lon
don University. The conservative gains, so
far, seem to indicate great reaction among
the English constituencies, and the tories will
no doubt be encouraged to make great efforts
as well as great sacrifices in order to win.
The very latest returns from the polls report
the observance of about the same proportion
of conservative gains.

STILL The salvation of the republican party
turns on the consent of another than Durell.
Dureli himself, it seems, would likely give
way; but henchman appointed by him to
place that, legitimately or otherwise has
proved one Of enormous profit, will not con-
sent to Durelps retirement unless he may
name Durell's successor. Considerations OF
his own safety, perhaps are his motive, and
his power to exact this condition is derived
from his capacity and disposition to make I'M
pleasant di ,closures.
Here is fine party; this is the condition
of that great political force which rallied and
organized the power that put down the re-
bellion. And all the facts of this condition
are known to the President and were known
to him when lately he called this Louisiana
trouble monstrosity. His impulse then to
come out in open hostility to such games of
fraud and chicanery as the party name is
made to cover, was creditable to his honesty
and his political perceptions but his asso-
ciates have succeeded in throwing dust in his
eyes, and he halts-for short time only, we

man who forced the rebellion to its great sur

mannuvres; but we doubt if he is the man
to permanently accept the position, and we
hope much for the country from the party
rupture that his resolution must eventually

The STORY OF THE RUNNING Down Of the
British ship Ellen Constance by the Spanish
iron-clad ram Vittoria, near Cartagena, would
be scarcely credible but for the well known
cruelty and recklessness of the Spaniards. 1t
is difficult to believe that the collision was not
intentional, especially in view Of the brutal
refusal of the Spanish officer and crew to at
tempt the rescue of three English sailors who
were left on the ship, or to allow the comrades
of the victims who had escaped to the ram to
make an effort to save them. The nineteen
survivors, including the Captain, were held as
prisoners, but the guns of an English man-of-
war speedily set this part of the matter to
rights and procured their Immediate transfer
to British vessel-the Topaze. 1t is probable
that the outrage will not be suffered to pass
unnoticed by the British government.

The Snow STORM which descended upon
this city yesterday swept over a great extent
of country. The storm came upon Richmond,
Va, on Sunday night, hour not stated It
entered Washington at daylight at ten A. M.
it had reached Philadelphia, and at two P. NJ.
it crossed the Hudson and began to whiten
Manhattan Island in its progress northeast
wardly, apparently against strong northeast
wind. We estimate its speed from Richmond
to New York at twenty miles an hour
that is, the advance northward of the main
body of the storm. The scattering fire of the
skirmish line commenced here before the
main column had entered Philadelphia and
all this immense mass of clouds will hardly
be exhausted this side of Nova Scotia Indeed,
as it frequently happens with our heavy
northeasterly storms, the full force of this one
may not be developed till it passes into Nova
Scotia.

Don CARLOS AND THE CuBANs. We hope
the report that it is the purpose Of Don Carlos
in case he becomes the King of Spain to sell
the island of Cuba is true, because it is the
only sensible proposition which any Spaniard
has made for years in regard to the Spanish
possessions in the Antilles. But we fear it is
not true. As Mrs. Micawber used to say in
her own and her husbands extremity. II
never will desert Mr.. Micawber," so all "good
Spaniards' declare that Spain never will yield
the possession of Cuba, and they say it with
an JUNCTION that Mrs. Micawber, with all her
devotion, could not equal. That Don Carlos
should be so much wiser than his generation
seems impossible.

DOUBTFUL HONESTY. old Bureau of
Elections has claim against the city for
SO, 1852 for unpaid salaries. The bill was
not ordered paid by the old Board of Estimate
and Apportionment, and now the new Board
repudiates. Judge Robinson decides that the
new Board cannot be compelled to pay by
mandamus, and says that the claimants ought
to have got their money out of the old Board
This may be law, but if the claim is a just
one it certainly does not seem to be justice or
honesty. The city should not resort to trick
to cheat any creditor out of just claim.
