THE LATE REAR ApMIRALs.

The Secretary Of the Navy has made to
the Naval Service the sad announcement
OF the death Of two distinguished officers
Of the Navy, Rear Admirals WILKES and
ALDEN. OF Admiral ALDEN, the Secre-
tary says: The life Of this distinguished
officer was devoted, from his youth, to the
service Of his country. As a young man,
he took part in the United States Explor.
ing Expedition under the late Rear Ad.
miral WILKES, aud subsequently had
charge Of most important scientific duty In
the survey Of our Pacific coast. His later
services were those of the Chief OF the
Bureau Of Navigation, and the command
Of our fleet on the European Station.
In every sphere of duty he exhibited the
highest qualities Of naval officer, aud
was, during the late civil war. specially
conspicuous for gallantry and capacity on
almost every occasion which contributed
to the glory of the Naval Service.
In the announcement Of the death Of
Admiral WILKEs, he also says The scien.
tfic and literary attsinments Of this distin-
guished officer, and his acknowledged zeal
and patriotism, have been long known and
appreciated by his countrymen. His death
will be lamented by the Service and by the
people Of the United States.

TIL HorEs OF THE DEMOCRACY ARE
DEAD,

DEAD.
Since the developments Of yesterday and
to-day ripple of general good humor has
been cons tantly passing over the mass Of
Republican voters throughout the country,
while in corresponding degree shadows
Of gloom and misgiving have shrouded the
hitherto hopeful Democracy. Florida Is
for HAYES. That question is now settled
beyond dispute. In the future the only
points Of important consideration are those
of Louisiana and Oregon. Louisiana since
the sun rose on the eighth day Of Novem.
Der has been confidently claimed by the
Republicans. Every development since
that day has materially strengthened that
claim until at last whatever hopes the De.
mocracy have had Of securing 1t for TILDEN
have faded away. Tomorrow the evidence
In this case will be presented to the Tri-
bunal for Its decision. On Monday Mr..
SToUGHToN will make the main argument
for the Republicans, and by Tuesday we
will probably be able to announce Louisiana
for HAYES. The Democrats know this
will be the inevitable result, and are there.
fore looking to Oregon as their forlorn
hope. The case Of Oregon will probably
be reached by Thursday, and Mr.. STANLEY
MATHEWS, who is thoroughly prepared In
the case, will present the main argument
for the Republicans. In this forlorn hope
Of the Democracy the friends Of Mr.. HAYES
have nothing to fear. The popular will Of
the sovereign people of Oregon declared at
the ballot box that Mr.. WATTS was their
choice as an elector. The votes were counted
according to the forms of law, aud he was
pronounced elected by legally constituted
authority, and 1t was only at the eleventh
hour that Governor GROVER importuued
by the National Democratic Committee to
save his party from defeat, decided to usurp
his legitimate powers aud send his "Gob-
BILE" despatch which read:
"I shall decide every point in this case Of the
post office elector in favor OF the highest Demo-
cratic elector and grant certificate accordingly.
Rule morning Of the sixth IN consequence conf
dentisl."
When Florida was decided for HAYES
yesterday the Democrats in their despera.
ton endeavored to console themselves that
they might yet deprive HAYES of this vote
in Oregon and throw the election In the
House. But such hopes are in vain. TIE
Republican leaders have not stepped into
the snare which the Democratic leaders 80
cunningly laid for them. They refused to
assert or admit that the certificate of Gov
ernor SrEARSs was conclusive of the tights
OF the Florida electors. They, on the con-
trary, claim that full force must only be
given to the certificate when there is no
other person present exhibiting better
warrant and showing by unmistakable
evidence that he is the legltimately chosen
elector. We will not boast, but the hopss
of the Democracy are dead.

The English people, as general thing,

involve Great Britain In war. This was
the sentiment which they exhibited just
before the Crlmean struggle, but notwith.
standing the powerful anti-war spirit then
prevalent the nation, through the action of
It's political leaders and the inducements
held out by the allied powers, was sud.
denly launched into that bloody conflict,
which every one now believes might and
ought to have been avoided. The British
ministers were then, as they profess
to be now, enthusiastic for peace, but
when the crisis came they suddenly
weakened and became utterly con.
fused as to the course which ought TO have
been taken. France, as the ally OF Great
Britain, urged her to defend the Mussul-
man power. There need have been but
moderate encouragement In this respect,
for amicable relations between Russia aud
England had long before been destroyed.
Besides, she was in the entsng,ing meshes
OF an implied agreement to aid and protect
tie Sultan's rights. These were the con-
ditions Of Great Britain then, and she is
surrounded by even greater entsnglements
now. 1t may, therefore, be reasonably
expected that when the hordes of armed
Cossacks cross the Turkish border. on their
devastating expedition to the Golden
Horn, they will find the rank and file Of
British red.coats awaiting to receive them
in the provinces Of Bosnia and Bulgaria.

CHANCE IL NOT KING.

JOHN BRoUaHAM says that "life itself is
game Of chance. The very axiom,
nothing is certain, disproves even the
certainty Of nothing being certain. The
very machinery Of the armament Is q
sublime game of billiards, in which the
stars are the balls. and the cues the
centrifugal and centripetal forces"
BRoUGHAM is talking simply for the sake
Of talk, and not for the sake Of truth. Were
his theory correct where would be that
splendid equilibrium which We find so
amply preserved throughout all the realms
Of spaceH Were the machinery Of the
armament sublime game Of billiards, as
he affirms, and the cues the centrifugal and
centripetal forces, and the whole controlled
by the caprices Of chance. chaos would
reign, and clash Of solar systems and the
utter destruction OF the machinery OF
the universe would follow, leaving one
illimitable ruin throughout the realms
OF space. Were BRoUGHAM's theory
correct there would be times when the
Democratic demagogue would be found ex-
pounding the true principles Of honest
Government-a thing which never happens
under the present incompatible system Of
law and order which grace the Universe.
Were nature subject to the vagaries Of
chance, apple trees would be fruited deep
with pumpkins grape vines would yield
potatoes. rose bushes would grow pansles,
plants which this year may be laden with
fragrant heliotropes might bear odorless
flowers the next
CRoNIN's nose, with all It's blushIng
swell, might have been under his arm, and
that fastidious palate Of his. which was
such skillful judge of spiritus fsrmsnti,
might have been In his ear, and
his ear on his elbow. SAMUEL
Cox's voluble tongue might have
been in the mouth Of some Member with
less brains. The Committee of Appropria-
tons hands might have been slung alto
gether to the shoulders Of the extravagant
SPRINGER, and thus would have been
buried constantly In Uncle Sans pocket
for JoB's sake. Indeed, the csprices Of
chance might have made FIELD TWEED
and TWEED FIELD, and the Tombs OF New
York might have been in Washington, and
the Goddess of Liberty outraged aud
drowned In the Potomac. But as Chance
Is not King law and order reign. and the
Electoral Commission, guided by their be.
nIgn influence. Is preparing to declare
HAYES as elected. and the American people
are making arrangements to secure his

THE COUNTRY is moving under cloud OF
mystifying tales of scandal and bribery, trick
cry and falsehood, partisan hate and political
bullying. Mr.. FIELD has brought from the MI
asmatic atmosphere of the Gull, men who have
been wheezing out scandal and tales Of cor
ruption and woe and misery and crime. These
public tattlers OF scandal have gorged the
public press until the public mind Is turned
and dazed with It's enormity, and common de-
cency shocked and shamed.
