According to the New York Herald,
this is Ahort tr' way the New York
Republicans regard thr;grcat victory:
"BusineSs men of Republican pro-
clivities could scarcely repress il little
cxultation that MI. Hayes was, after
all, to bc inauyurated; but to the,
eve Of an actual observer there was
visible certain current of,
slihpd diStrust as to the justice OF
their cause, which found expression
in the remark that it was no doubt
best so, but that strictly partisan
division of the Commission was some,
thing to be sincerely regretted. 1t is
evident, too, when one comes down
to u qaict talk with intelligent Ra.
publicaus, who have no official lcla-'
tous to bias them, that the justice OF
Mr. Hayes claim to L"uiSiana IS pref
IT, universally dnnbtcd. Indeed, the
: most superficial observer can not fail
to notice that the zc<t of triumph has
been bluntcd to lay members of tie
winning party by delays aud doubts,
while tn" edge of the diSappolnt-.
mcnt, so far as business men of Dem.
ocratic anteccsttnts are concerned,
has been dulled by the cons'leruti"ni
that the election was fairly won, but,
has been ,jugglrd ont Of their hands
by corrupt Returning Boards"

Der of negroes die than whites, it be-,
comes indeed Il serious matter and
one worthy of investigation. The.
ratio of negro mortality has been
steadily increasing in this city for
years past, but this is the acme, it
now being fon, times as it is among
the whites. The deaths last week for
the white citizens is below the weekly.
