It could have done. Coy. Seymour was
the man TO whom all eyes voluntarily
turned as the leader of the allied forces
III this struggle. 1t is 70 be regretted
that his health will not permit him to UNI
dcrtake the duties of the command, but
the way in which the leaders have shown
their power to gauge the public scnti-
ment, and their readiness to yield at once
to that feeling, has done sn immense
amount of good. Gov. Seymour has also,
even in declining, done lis grcat4ervce.
His letter puts the issue for which we are
fighting 30 plainly before the people, that
none can fail TO understand. Hundreds
come into our ranks continually, solely as
the effect Of this transaction. 1t is very
clear 10 see, from the result in
VERMONT
on Tuesday, that the sentiment Of discon-
tent which has been aroused against the
discreditable record of Grant and his Adj
ministration, is very widespread. and is
rolling on with immcnsity of strength.
The Green Mountain boys were consid-
cred to be so firmly ntrenched in their
rugged Businesses, and so well defended
by Republican barricades, that the enemy
could make no impression. There was
no mistake about the bitterness with
which the fight was to be wagcd. Eve
rything that skill and energy could do
was done, and it is doubtful whether any
campaign has ever been conducted with
greater enthusiasm. The result cannot
but be satisfactory 10 those who are striv-
Jug 10 curiaii the evil opportunities Of
the present rulers Of the nation. The Re-
publican majority is considerably smaller
than they had expected, while the same
percentage Of Democratic gain in other
States will give the Democracy almost
every State in the Union. If the Yer
mont election may be taken rs an indica-
ton Of popular sentiment throughout the
country, the election Of Tildcn and Hen
bricks by overwhelming majorities is
assured. Also, from the fields of
ARKANSAS
comes the the sound Of victory. 1t was
expected that this State would give Il
Democratic majority, but the returns
triumph has been much more complete
In both these States full vote has been
cast, and it must bc said that the results
ire very encouraging to US and dispiriting
t. cur opponents. And such are the
prospects all over the country. Even
from the
MINING REGIONS,
We hear that the hardy inhabitants
are disgusted with the way in which
things are managed, and are determined
to come out for q change Of Government.
In Ohio more especially, where Governor
Hayes is personally known, the feeling
class Of the people. His sending the
necessity whatever for his interference
with their concerns, has greatly cxasper-
ated them, and they are determined that
they will not do anything to assist him in
getting an extension of his power. They
know TOO that all t!icir trouble and dis
trcases arise from the bad management of
the National Government, and they per
ceive, with ali unpfcjudiced men that the
election Of Hayes means
Perturbation OF GRANTIsM,
which includes ali the evils and ,letesta-
BILE practices of the present Administra-
tion, and they, with the honest and patri-
otto citizens throughout tho lanG, are de-
term;ned that they will do NIL they can to
prevent such calamity. The Eepubli-
CaHs arc "o-k;ns very hard among these
miners. They are sending piles of cam
paIgn documents, some of the description
| which the Times correspondent recently
condemned in Indiana, and some with
| backs Of the color which will render them
acceptable, rs accompaniment to the
bloody -shirs, and they are literally pour
ing crooked whisky into the region. All
these things, however, will not avail
| nothing has done more to render certain
this desirable end than Attorney General
TAFr's INSTRUCTIONS
| to the United States Marshals, telling
them in plain words that If things do not
work satisfactorily to the continuance in
power of the Republicans, they can con-
slider the soldiers as portion of the posse
contitdftss, and use the a: my as n political
agent. We cannot help asking the ques-
tion, what IS to prevent the application of
this rule TO ourselves. IF the South can
be overridden anu oppressed in the North,
! why cannot we r? Surely it is time that
this whole farce of Government should
be ended, and that we place at the head
of our Executive n man who knows how
| to rule in accordance with the constitu-
tioli under which the nation is organized.
It is an interesting fact that Mr.. Evarts,
/ when Attorney General, gave precisely
the opposite opinion. It is said that Mr..
Taft was not aware of this, and is now
very much disturbed at the discovery.
n. HE'LL GATE. ~
We have been for s'lcng time expect
ing the explosion which is to remove the
obstacles which impede navigation ut the
He'll Gate channel, and as the matter had
| proceeded SO far without disaster it was
hoped that .c accident would now mar
our satisfaction at the completion of the
work. On Tuesday morning, however, as
some of the dynamite cartridges were oe-
ing unloaded 20 take their. .l-rt in the
! find blast, one of them wrs dropped By
the workman who was handling it. A vio-
lent explosion Immediately occurred, and
| three men have lost their lives, and two
were so seriously wounded that ii is doubt
| full if they can recover The body of one
| of the killed was actually severed in two,
and that of another was hurled into the
| river and washed away. 1t is evidently
the result of careiessness, but not The les.
deplorable on that account.
