acquaintance, and lifting him to the nigh
est pinnacle OF power.
1t is thought by some that the personal
attacks which have been made upon Mr..
TILpEN have helped him; and his election
is regarded mainly ms an individual vindica-
ton. Ourown opinion is that they had very
little effeot-next to none-either way. Ger

Of President of the United States has a
graver significance than a simple declara-
ton that the people do not believe him
guilty of deliberate swinding and wilful
perjury IL means no less than that they
are willing TO trust, in large measure, to
his keeping for four years, the destiuies of
the country.
We have faith that this generous conf
dence of the people has not been mis-
placed. We think Mr.. TILDEN will justify
the trust which has been reposed in him.
A foretaste Of Mr.. TILpEN's administra-
ton will be afforded by the selection of
his Cabinet. II he calls about him only
the very strongest men in his party 1T will

weak or doubtful Cabinet W ould be the

emboIdeped GRANr In hrs recent inva-
sion of South Carolina, to aid the eloo-
ton OF the most corrupt crew that ever
disgraced the name Of civilized govern
ment. So, too, in Virginia, In Louisiana,
in Mississippi, and other Southern states,
where Federal troops have been thrown,
with the sole object OF intimidating poace-
full voters, aud of holding tue color line
uubroken for third term of Grantism in
the name of HAYES.
Superadded to these outrages. Marshals
Of the United States and their deputies, In
nine cases out of ten the merest creatures
of power, and without any responsibility
but to their masters at Washington. have
been instructed to take possession OF the
polls, to disregard the State laws, aud to
assume supreme police control over tho
elections. all in the teeth of the solemn
Judgment of our highest judicial tribunal.
When the gravity of such acts is con-
sidcred, and their dangerous tendency If
properly estimated, the wonder is that the
people have not risen up in their might
and hurled these vulgar usurpers from the
trusts they have betrayed and the places
they disbonored. Step by STEP backed by

have advanced toward a military despot-

heretofore partially hidden their treason
able designs, and convert the army, after
the fashion of conspiring commanders In
Mexico and South America, into their per-
sonal instrument.
If this conspiracy against the public lib

a precedent will be admitted that some

The Significance of the Election.

Never has there been Presidential cleo
ton in which personality played lesser
part than in this. 1t has been decided
entirely on political principles.
Aud what are these principles on which
the election has turned? As we regard II,
the choice OF Mr. TILDEN is a reafnImance
Of the doctrines in which the American
Revolution originated, and on which the
republic is founded.
/. The Fathers of the Revolution dread
ed, above almost all other things, military
prestige, ms dangerous to the liberties of
the people. There was no constitutional
impeachment in the way of third term TO
Gen GRANT; but the people preferred Il
peaceful citizen, on whose shoulders a star
or an epauctte never shone.
ii. 1t was a leading idea in the founda-
tion of the Government that power should
return at short intervals to the people,
and that it could not long be safely in-
trusted to the same hands. We believe
that the public sentiment is strongly in
favor of a general rout OF the officehold-
ers, aud that one moving cause in Mr.. TIL
Den favor was tho belief that he would
make tins change.
Ill. For eight years We have had per-
sonal, semi-nIlitaly aud corrupt Govern
ment, conceded 10 be such by the great
journals OF its own party. There was a
general apprehension and belief that,
though dln.aished III degree, tins system
would be substantially continued under
HAYES. The doctrine of the Fathers was
that all public Offices were established, not
for the benefit Of the holders, but OF the
people comforting them. There was con-
hience that Mr.. TTLDEN would make all
his appointments III compliance with this
vital principle.
The election Of Mr.. TILDEN we regard a'
the second dawn, the reproduction, Of
the era Of the Revolution.

Although the coming session OF Congress

allow less tins thar is needed tor cOntinu
ing the work of reform by Il thorough re-
duction OF the public expenditures, still
there are certain grave duties that must
not be omitted.
The President, his Attorney General, ana
his Secretary of War, to say nothing otthe
other members OF the Cabinet, have, to ef-
feet partisan object, defied the plain let
ter OF tho Constitution, Outraged the laws
OF the land, ami broken down all the bar

lection 10 The States against Executive
usurpation.

This. IL will be perceived, is one short of
the number necessary to elect.
Since IL was admitted that these States
had goue for TrLDrN, the most positive
and explicit assurances have been received
from trustworthy sources in Florida to the
effect that that state has gone for Tu.DEN
by n majority ranging in the neighbour
hood of three thousand. Florida casts
four electoral votes. By adding these to
the one hundred and eighty-four previous
ly conceded to him, the total is one hun
dred and eghty-eight.
There is not IA shadow of doubt that TIL
DEN has received the one hundred and
eighty eight votes above enumerated. This
makes his election sure.
There is no danger that the vote OF Flor
ida Will be rejected or changed by fraudu-
lent oontrivances, Tor tue election ma
chinory of that state is in the han ds Of
honest men, who are the friends OF Gov.
TTLDEN.
A variety Of dispatches from Louisiana
show that that State has gone for TILDEN
by alarge majority. The Returning Board
Of Louisiana. which is TO manipulate the
votes, is composed of notorious set Of
sooundrels. Inasmuch us the cheating of
TILDEN out of the eight electoral votes of
louisiana would not cause his defeat, we
should not be surprised If the Returning
Board allowed him to have them. How
ever what course the carpet-baggers, who
have so long oppressed and robbed Lou
isiana, may now pursue remains to be
seen.
1t is very confidently claimed that South
Carolina has been carried for TILDEN by
small majority. But this statement re-
mains to be verified.
Among the other doubtful States are
Oregon, Nevada. and Wisconsin. The lat
ter State is said to be very close. Our cor
respondent, however, rather inclines TO
think II has gone Democratic.
AT a late hour last evening dispatches
from the West claimed California for TIL
DEN, and even Illinois.
Upon the whole, we see no cause 10
doubt that Gov. TILDEN has been elected
to the Presidency by the people. A few
days may be needed TO determine his pre-
else majority.

The Recent Conferences of the Trunk
Linps.

The last OF the three meetings between
the representatives of the great trunk
lines was held la this city on the LIST lust.
There were present Col THOMAS A. SCorT,
President of the Pennsylvania Rail
road: Mr.. KING, ice-President of the
Baltimore aud Ohio; Mr.. JEwETT,
receiver of the Erie Railway; and
Mr.. WILLIAM II. VAUDEVILLE, Vice
President of the New York Central aud
Hudson River Railroad. The meeting
was of short duration, not lasting over an
hour.
The railroad people are rather reti-
cent concerning what passed at these
conferences, but IL Is pretty generally
known that the Baltimore and Ohio and
Pennsylvania Railroads conceded to the
Now York Central road the right 10 make
all competitive business equal, only de-
handing that they should have the right
TO make n Florence on freight which was
actually local, to either Baltimore or Phil
adclphia. 1t was Understood that prop
erty shipped from the West to New York
| aud resold for export, either foreign or
coastwise, should be considered COMPETE
tive.
II would thus seem that Messrs. Scorr,
GARRETT Co. have at last come
to understand that the New York
Central would not enter INFO, nor
would the people of this city toll
crate, any arrangement or compact
intended solely 20 divert Western traffic
from this centre by "A concession OF lower
oomnetitive rates 70 rival seaboarI cities.
Supposed geographical advantages have
nothing whatsoever TO do with the perma-
mont settlement of freight rates from
Western centres To Atlantic selboard
cities. 1t question which should never
| have been discussed at the recent confer
ences. Mr.. Vanderbilt, IA we lenrn, was
perfectly willing to concede TO the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Pennsylvania Gem
trail roads the right to make difference go
lower rates-on freight wh'ch was actually
local to Baltimore ana Philadelphia, and
not Intended for foreign or coastwise
export.
| As near as we can ascertain, the
only point on which the great rail-
| road magnates finally d ffered was a.
TO the geographical positions as be-
tween the Northwest aud the South
| west the Baltimore and Ohio Rail.
| road being deslrous Of making greater
differences from the Southwest than from
the Northwest Mr.. Vanderbilt did not
| seem to see his way clear 90 granting this.
While he was willing TO concedc uniform
rate Of difference on local freight from all
competitive points st. Louis, Chicago,
Cincinnati, &c.-he could not understand
why the rival roads, apparently solely for
the benefit OF local consumers should
claim the right OF scaling these differences
unless 1t was TO uphold their "m"edJe
basis.
