is the division of the Democratic forces into
two antagonizing clques, which will 10 sorue

Democracy is apt to be inordinately truculent.
Divided, its conflicting wings serve as mu-
tual check to the exercise of arbitrary power.

ton when it drove John Morrissey ont of It's

its adoption of John Fox as q senatorial candi-

able discrimination in the heartiness with

Phelps. His integrity and ability have been
effectively tested by three years experience in
the office. He retains his position backed by

Our Ring ridden neighbors across the river
have had fortunate escape from the despo-
tism OF their imperious autocrat. The choice
OF +. A. Schroeder as Mayor of Brooklyn is
one of those agreeable surprises which tend
to strengthen ones waning faith in the sober
~econd thought of the people, The unhappy
denizens of that vicinage have chafed under
their yoke long and sorely. They were not
only the subjects of one man power, but
such po,cer! But it seems there Is q point
'eyond the endurance even of plant De-
mocracy, and the Mclaughlin dynasty has
fallen victim to its fatuous audacity. 1t
seems strange that that beautiful city with its
churches and schools, its multitudes of solid,
substantial, thrifty people, should have lived
so long under domination SO offensive to the
self-respect and so damaging TO the material
interests of its inhabitants. In view of It one
is tempted to paraphrase De Stael and exclainn

Current Notes.

The Vicksburg Herald announces editoIi-
ally that Congressman Lamar sis on the
white-line, and so is every other true and
tried Democrat in the state" la
The Richmond Despatch people will take
no TEden in theirs. They warn the s'political
gamblers of New York; that that State is not
the world, and that State which has named
two Presidential candidates to be beaten will
not be allowed to name the third. Governor
Tiden, they say, is a local politician of local
education and habits; and it is the idlest
thing in the world to be pressing him upon a
people who are entirely Indifferent toward
him.
The Tribune and World keep humbugging
the people with the clamor that the Anti
Tammany men helped the Republican ticket.
This is palpably false. 1t was supposed that
Mr.. Seward might secure large number of
votes from that portion of his Irish fellow
citizens who were opposing Tammany; but
the result shows that few or no votes came to
him from that quarter. There is but little
difference in this city between Mr.. Seward
cast for Mr.. Seward is the Republican vote
of New York.-Commercial Advertiser.
The New York Tribune tells the Democratic
party that its only chance of success in the
Presidential canvass is in putting the money
question out of the fight this winter by elect
ing as Speaker of the House an 'uncomprom-
is;ng hard money Democrat, who will so form
his committees as to secure the passage of a
measure for speedy resumption of specie pay
ment." Failing that, either the West or
South will carry the convention for imitation,
or there will be division and distrust which
will be almost as bad. In either case the par
ty will be defeated ''if the Republicans be-
have with ordinary common sense" av
While visiting Baltimore last Thursday,
John Lee Carroll, Maryland's centennial gov.
ernor, met with an unpleasant greeting from
an unwashed but enthusiastic voter. His i'm
pressive appearance attracted the attention
of loafer, who recognized him at once, and,
slapping him familiafly upon the shoulder,
shouted, "'Rah for Carroll" Mr.. Carroll,
says the american, was so choked with emo
ton that he could only gesticulate his pro-
test by brandishing his arms and umbrella.
1--WE lected yer-we run yer in, governor"
SAID the loater, slapping his shoulder again
and getting dirty band on Mr.. CarrolPs
other shoulder. Vehement in manner, al
though so confounded as to be inartculate in
speech, the governor elect struggled to escape
from his uuwashed friend; but it was in vain,
for the latter got both arms upon him and
Rugged him and tumbled him about by way
of congratulation, while st. Paul street stood
out upon the sidewalk to witness the scene.
Mr.. Carroll finally got away, when he re-
sponded to the less demonstrative greetings
of his freinds. 0ls

they drove the Republicans from the polls,

the box for the Democratic ticket.

That envious Vassar girl in Buffalo, who has

''smashing' and mice times has lust uub-
lished another chapter of her memorabilia.
She says the girls pine in their dungeons for
mustaches and caramels. Their mouths water.
and their luminous eyes also, whenever they
think of these forbidden sweets. The Buffalo
Express seriously says that God and Nature
meant mustaches and caramels and pretty
girls to come together; and that the expert.

In the suit Of The People VS.. The Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroad brought un-
der the act passed by the Legislature of Illi-
nois regulatingand restricting freight and pas
senger tariffs, 10 recover penalties for violation
of said act, the Supreme Court of that state
has rendered decision reversing the judgment
OF the court below which was in favor of the
plaintiff. This action is based simply upon an
informalty in the declaration and the people
have won substantial victory inasmuch as the
court assumes the constitutionally of the law
which was the real point at issue.

"Ar a meeting of the governors council a
pardon was granted to Moses S. Wheeler"
is the way the telegraph announces that a
man guilty Of no crime whatever has spent
eight years OF his life within the walls of the
state prison of Massachusetts,, sent thither
by the testimony of his perjured sister. The
crime of which he was accused was arson,
and his sister testified that she saw him com
NIT the deed. The evidence seemed COM
plete. and his protests of innocence were of
no avail. Two years elapsed and this sister
lay on her death bed, and with her diving
breath confessed thather testimony was per-
Jured. Efforts were at once made for his
rtlease, but for some unexplained reason the
pardon did not come until few days ago
when the doors Of his prison were opened
and the man was told simply that he might
go. Doubtless such cases are infrequent, but
until juries are infallible and witnesses are
incapable of perjury, the possibility of their
occurrence remains to warn legislators that
while punishment should be swift AID sure
it should not be such as to preclude all pos
sibility of restitution in case of mistake.

The Recent Election-The Triumph over
Tammany-H0w il was Accomplished
The Results of the Victory.

New YORK. Nov. Z, 1875.
The results of last Tuesdays election so far
as the city of New York is concerned, illustrate
forcibly the cratic tendency of that indefinable
cnrrent which we call public opinion. From a
superficial point of view it seemed scarcely pos
sble that any combination could be formed of
sufficient cohesiyeness and strength to over
come the compact host of 10000 voters which
the Democracy numbered one year ago. Their
organization was perfect, and their discipline
rigid. The right of private Judgment was not
merely denied to the disciples of Tammany
not man among them ventured to claim it.

The people OF the South are evidently fast
finding out the fallacy of the argument for
Tnerly heard so often, that white men cannot
Compete in the matter of manual tabor with
"olOred menin their climate. Southern pa
Pers now report that white men are laboring
10 the fields in many sections, and in every
case with good results. The New Orleans Price
Current says on this point that white labor,
and particularly the participation of the
planter or farmer himself in the labors of the
field, has of late tended to shorten the period
necessary for the cultivation of most of the
crops Of Louisiana, and that the application
or science TO farming, which naturally fol-
lows IN the wake of white labor, will not
alone raise larger crops on given area, but
also improve the quality of the harvest. The
southern press cannot promote the interests
of their people better than by keeping con-
tinually before them the beneficial results of
white labor.

Detroit is getting progressive. The COM

1t. The council then adopted the original
resolution again. and il is supposed that a
majority of that body will refuse this time

city attorney has given an opinion that his
veto power did not apply in this matter,
while the city counsellor dissents. The con-
troversy, ii is said, is becoming quite
