Thc EIections To.rIorrow,

Six States have thus far held elections
this fall-Vermont, Maine and Colorado
in the North, and Alabama, Arkansas and
Georgia in the South. The Democrats
believed that they would certainly carry
Colorado, and they were not without
hopes that they would also carry Maine.
But to their great dismay Maine increased
her Republican majority Of 3,S72 last
year to over 10000 this year, and Col.
orndo, that went Democratic in 1874 by
2,lG3 majority, has now gone clear over
to the Republican column by n handsome
majority:
The States OF Alabama, Arkansas and
Georgia are Democratic OF course. The
same shotgun policy that two years ago
cut down the Republican vote in one Of
the counties Of Mississippi from over
$500 to less than dozen, finds no diff.
Guilty in rolling up 10000 majority in
Georgia-the majority nnnouncedin this

means, and the cooperation Of the

will not have rs much chance in that
State as they lind in West Virginia when
Col. Ben. Wilson and Judge Camden were
in power in Harrison county before the
war, and when, as Prosecuting Attorney
and Judge, they made things so lively for
Republicans.
We rejoice, however, in the hope that
the great North does not intend 10 stand
idly by and see the "Lost Cause" thus re.
gain its political ascendency in this coun.
try. We confidently hope for such news
from Ohio and Indiana tomorrow rs will

States for the Republican ticket will do
more to cause the "Whitc Liners" Of

that Gov. Chamberlain can issue. A
great Republican victory throughout the
North meals peace for the South. On
the other hand, Democratic victory
means II revival Of the scenes OF Andy

The three States voting tomorrow are

may be used for finding q way out Of the

The New York Yacht Club will hold o
meeting in few days to consider the chal-
lenge Of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club for
possession of the cup won at Cowes by the
America in 1851. 1t is not doubted that the
required six months notice will be waived
and the match sailed. Scarcely five years
ago Mr.. Ashbury and the club. after some
sharp sparring, agreed upon terms which sub
sequently governed the Livonia contests, and
ell doubts as to conditions in respect to
future races were supposed to have been
then set at rest forever and day.
Still the question is often put, "Why
should not the challenging yacht sail against
the whole fleet, as did the America in Eng
land?" We propose to answer this query.
The English race was q sweepstakes; the
American race is q match. In a sweep
stake there are as many interests involved
as there are contestants engaged. Each is
the antagonist of the other, and the sole OBJ
ject sought for is to win the race without re-
gard to the prospects of the other COMPETE
tors. In match, on the contrary, there are
but two interests and two sides, although
the parties engaged may be constituted Of
unequal numbers. Thus the Cambria sailed
the match in 1870, although she represented
one interest and an entire fleet the other.
1t was joint stock concern Of many part
ners, with community of interest on the
one hand and a single representative on the
other, and it was the duty Of the partners to
ignore any personal ambition and to band
together to defeat the enemy. The merest
tyro in yachting will perceive that squad
ron mannuyred en- bloc can be made seriously
to interfere with the progress of single op-
posing vessel, and that for the latter to win
under such circumstances would be almost
hopeless task.
There exists, however, an unanswerable
reason why the fleet cannot be allowed to
sail in the race, and it lays in the fact that
Mr.. George L. Schuyler, the sole surviving
donor of the cup and signer of the deed Of
gift, has explicitly defined the meaning of
the documen. and the conditions under
which the club are now custodians of the
trophy. These are simply that it was the
intention Of the givers that ono single vessel
only should be pitted against the challenger.
In the Livonia contests four boats of different
styles were chosen to meet the visitor, and
the one best adapted to the prevailing sea and
wind was named each morning. English
yachtsmen criticised this arrangement very
severely, as wanting in true sportsmanship.
The New York Yacht Clubwill avoid a renewal
of like unfavorable comment if they will
select from their splendid fleet one repre-
sentative vessel and turn over all the work
to her, whether the event is to be decided
by one or in series of races.

what 1. Wrong with Mr.. walsh,


The Tammany Society on Fourteenth
street the other evening elected the old
Board Of Sachems, leaving off the name of
William A. Walsh. No one objects that Mr..
Walsh is not o good man and good demo-
crat. No one thinks that Mr.. Walsh would
not make good Sachem He is MS good as
when he was elected year ago. Why, then,
should he be removed from the Board.
Simply because he did not support John
Kelly last autumn.
The removal of Mr.. Walsh means that the
secret dark lantern Know Nothing lodge on
Fourteenth street will not permit any demo-
crat in its authority who does not support
the wishes of John Kelly. Yet, in spite Of
this fact, which even the editor of the Express
will not controvert, we are told that there is
no relation between the Tammany dark Ian
tern lodge and the Tammany democratic
organization.
The truth is that T mmany, rs II is organ
lied now, is governed by secret lodge
which is as much at the beck and call Of
Kelly as 1t was of Tweed. 1t is anti-demo-
cratic and should be broken down, or it will
destroy the democratic party rs effectually
in the next campaign a. II did In the last

might seem to imply that, while the story is
not wholly true, there are some things that
Congressional inquiry might have the ex-
PLANTATION Of from him.


The Treasury is great Office, but some
how it fosters ambition. Hamilton came out
of it yearning for the Presidency. Crawford
was SO ambitious that he never recovered
from his defeat. 1t was in the Treasury that
Calhoun endeavored through Ingham to
fomcnt his intrigue against jackson, Wal
ker became ambitious in the Treasury OF
Polk and Cobb in the Treasury of Buchanan.
Chase used the Treasury to supplant Lin
coin. The Treasury is q vast office with
power greater in some respects than all the
others together. Fish can control a few min
listers, Jewell crowd of postmasters, Chand-
Ter batch of clerks and Indian agents-we
have no army and no navy worthy of the name,
but the Treasury absorbs them all. Conse-
quently when Secretary Of the Treasury
becomes candidate for the Presidency he
takes into his support tho living strength OF
the administration.
This is the position of the present Secre-
tary. He is o candidate for the Presidency.
A young man who can well afford to wait, he
allows campaign which began for " reform
to become personal strife for place. Al
ready he has an army of spies and detectives
in the under world and some well meaning
but not well informed saints in the upper
world :" making a canvass" for him.
When Jackson found Ingham supporting
Calhoun against Van Buren, he drove him
out of the Cabinet with high oaths. When
Lincoln found Chase using his Office for his
own end he did not swear. not being a
swearing man, but effectually silenced Chase
by removing him from the Treasury and i'm
prisoning him for life in the icy solitude Of
the Supreme Court.
Now, President Grant has made up his
mind, and wisely, that Mr.. Conkling shall
be his successor, SO far as he has power to
name successor. Since Mr.. Bristow inter-
feres with that judicious choice, and instead
of nursing his youth and waiting his time,
forces his canvass, General Grant should
read up the history of Ingham and Chase
and study well the examples of jackson and
Lincoln.

The New ORLEANS Times, with a start
ling head line, but with conservative
rhetoric, gives n report from the lips of an
ex-ofiicer Of the United States Secret Service
to the effect that during Lincoln's admins
tration General Badly Smith, as an investi-
eating officer, discovered certain irregplari-
ties in the business of officers Of the army.
General Smith recently, upon being inter-
viewed, said that, while he had no reason to
love General Grant, the report in regard to
the President is untrue. Concerning the
other charges General Smith spoke with a
French shrug of the shoulders implying
thereby that he was not entirely without
knowledge Of abuses by great men during
the war. He says that if the report of his
investigation was destroyed in the War De-
partment he is able to furnish another copy
whenever Congress shall call for it. The
story in the New Orleans Times affects the
ability Of General Banks more than his char
acter. and il seems to fatter General Butler,
while it brings in the name of his brother,
who was colonel. General Smiths words
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1876-04-19

The investigating committees at Washing
ton seem to have great facility in turning
back to HERALD exposures in their inquiries,
and they generally appear more anxious to
discover how the HERALD obtains its facts
than to unearth the facts themselves. We
learn, for instance, that General Custer is to
be investigated, and that the inquiry will be
little more than investigating the HERALD.
Why do the committees of Congress 60 to all
this trouble? If General Custer has done
anything wrong-if he is even suspected of
doing anything wrought him DO investi-
gated by all means but a suspicion that in
some way he has served the HERALD is not
sufficient ground for an inquiry. In the
multitude of servants who from time to time
have served the HERALD it is difficult to re-
member whether General Custer was among
them or not but even if he was he was only
one of a distinguished company. Kings and
emperors, as well as presidents and cabinet
ministers and Congressman and military
and naval officers have enrolled themselves
ever wrote for the HEEALD or gave the
HERALD information touching public affairs
to be investigated by some committee of the
Senate or House of Representatives This
apparently is the motive in the case Of Gen.
eral Custer, and if it is it is very silly rea-
son for a silly proceeding. If Congress is to
pursue this policy much further both houses
may as we'll stop attempts at Legislation alto
gether and organize into committees to in
vestigate the HERALD.
