COUNTY DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
A DRnocRAr1C wALK-ovER.

A DEMOCRATIC WALK-0VER.
The county election passed off
so quietly yesterday that a stranger
would scarcely have discovered that
anything unusual was going on
ualess he happened to be about the
polls. There was certainly less ex-
citement than at any county cleo
ton held since the war. This was
not owing to a lack of interest, but
from the fact that the regular
Democratic nominees for Sheriff,
Trustee, Criminal Court Judge and
Attorney General of the Bartlett
Court had no opposition. If the
Republicans had jumped up a
ticket yesterday morning it would
have made things lively. They
knew it was useless, and wisely
refraiued from the costly effort so
often tried before in vain. They
concentrated on the magistrates,
but with Indifferent success. The
regular nominees were all elected.
Colonel Stewart was considered
a nominee, having been regular
ly brought out by the Executive
committee, but he had only a day
to work, and was defeated by his
willy opponent who had thoroughly
organized his friends beforehand,
and they worked for him like bea-
vers. If Colonel Stewart had been
brought out a week sooner he could
have beer elected easy enough. The
Republicans-white and cOlored, or
a majority Of them-voted for the
four Democratic nominees at the
head of the ticket, but in the magis-
terial contest voted more generally
for their own ticket. Not an INDIE
pendent was elected in the city, I'M
less we call P. Winters an Indepen-
dent. That little party got badly
left. 1t was wedged in between the
upper and neither millstones-the
upper one being the Democratic, Of
course-and was ground to powder.
Some very clever gentlemen, pre-
Stunning too much upon their per-
sonal popularity, went outside Of
the party with which they had
always been identified, to run as
Independents, They had but a
small following, however, and were,
in every instance, commissioned tC
pursue the walks Of private life.
When the public is oyer-anxious t.
secure the services Of any man thu
public finds means to express itsel
so as to be understood. Belonging
to and upholding the Democrat
party, as we do in a liberal, consel
vative spirit, and believing that tn
prevalence of its principles pre-
notes the general good, and know
ing that success depends upon OF
gAnization, we are always ready
Insist upon permanent, effective OIL
g%anization. In doing this we tax
a straightforward, open course
without concealment or persona
prejudice against those who hon
estly differ from us. We are graf
fed to observe that good feelin
prevailed yesterday and that, Will
the contest was animated in som
wards, no disturbance occurred an

THE New York Herld's Wash
ington correspondent says: Quite
a theatrical scene was enacted when
the President pro tempore of the
Senate, Mr.. Ferry, came to an
nounce his verdict in the Belkuap
case last Tuesday. A good deal Of
interest was manifested as to how
he should discharge his duties Of
President and member of the Court
of Impeachment, and he had been
interrogated on the subject before
hand by good many of his fellow
Senators. Their curiosity was soon
satisfied. Pending the proceedings
he had a chair placed on the plat
form, a few feet from his own.
When the name of "Mr. Ferry
was called he rose at the Presidents
desk and addressed the empty chair,
saying: "Mr. Senator Ferry, how
say your" then crossing over to the
chair he seated himself, rose after
a moments waiting, and turning to
the Presidents desk, said: "Mr.
President and then proceeded to
read a written opinion, and finally
declared his verdict. He then re-
sumed the presiding officers chair.
Mr.. Ferry was afterward congratu-
lated for the success withiwhich he
accomplished his very delicate duty
in the matter, as he has been in
general, for his diligence and abili-
ity in presiding over the entire
trial.
