The Democrats have encountered an over
~he,ming defeat IN this state. DASFoRTH,
Republican Is confidently reported 20 be
elected for Judge OF the Court OF Appeals.
The Regular Democrats seem hot 10 have
elected inGte than eight or uino members u
Congress. In the present House they have
sixteen. This Is a loss Of seven or eight In
This city they have elected NICHOLAS MUL-
LER, SAMUEL >. Cox certainly. aud perhaps
they have saved FERNANDO Woop. This Is
q loss to the Tamuany Democrats Of three
members In this city. and possibly five.
The Democratic defeat in the Assembly IL
stunning. Last winter the Republicans had
o majority of four. IT looks rs If they
would have a majority ~ at least forty
eight or fifty next winter II the returns
already received arc correct, tho Tammany
Democracy eject only teu OF the twcnty-ono
Assemblynlcn in the city.
These results aro on amazing triumph
for ROSCOE CoNKLINo. He will be returned
20 the Senate in January by a majority
. which will range somewhere between fifty
aud sixty.

Tamrnnny III Ruins.

Tho great hattlc IN this city against Tam
many powcr ne embodied in Mr. JOHN
KELLY. has ended ia tho prostration of tho
Tammany rarty. The Tammauy candidate
.or Mayor. and the 1ammauy candidates
for the other important municipal Offices,
hayo hocn defeated at tho polls by heavy
maiorties ~ tho voters " tho city;
mud tho candidates who werc nominated
ON pon-partis0n grounds. in the interest Of
sound politics, good government, aud an iin-
proved administration Of public affairs. have
been elected. Not only has the municipal
ticket of Tnnmany eccn spurucd but 1aiu-
many candidates for Congress have been re-
icctcd IN districts shat could easily bc car
ricd by the honest and unterrined De
N eyacy. Tammany, in short has bcem over
whelmcd In the city of its power. and the
King and Clown nrc no moro.
Tammany never struggled with greater
desperation for success; Tammany never
before had ~ much at stake; and Tam
many never before met with a defeat so dis
astrous 90 its pretcnccs, interests, and pros
pccts. Tho machinery Of its organization
was worked with unusual skill throughout
the city, every voter whom 1t could control
was driven to the polls; the money poured
into its treasury through its monstrous sys-
TEN OF assessments was lavshly expended, !,
tho corruption ofvoters was carried on under
various disguises all tho arts Of cajolery
aud tcrroneu were rcsorted 10; and appeals
that would bo disgraceful In any campaign
were made to the hascr interests and to the
prejudices OF bodies O. our fellow citizens.
At the last hour Tammany attempted trad
ing Of every Kind in behalf oi its candidate
for Mayor Everything failed.
Tho people were against Iammany.
The fact is that Tammany. under the ono
man power OF AIr. JOIN KELLY, is a fraud.
II is IN opposition to all the principles and
traditions OF our free institutions. The
Tanmany system is In hostility 70 the
political rights OF the people. 10 the freedom
and independence OF tho franchise, to the
proper method OF making nominations Tor
efioo, and 70 the honest and fair admins
tration oi the public business OF the city. Il
70 anu-Domocratic, anti-RNpuhican. anti.
American. Hence IL Is that the people OF
New York have voted the doom oil Tammany.
We congratulate the people OF the city,
without regard to party, and including the
1ammnnv voters. ou the triumph oi ycstcr-
day ENery mans welfare hn, l-cn nd.
vanccd hv il. and tho whole city will enjoy
the benefit oi IL. We congratulate also, the

he one Of tho rcadicst excuses for keeping

To make the possible service of tho regu-
lar army in cocrcing citizens an element Of

army, Is hostile alike to tho traditions and
the spirit " tho republic. The utterauces
Of the founders of the Government aud the
language OF the Bills OF Rights and Consti-
iutious Of most OF tho States show IL to he a
fundamental doctrine Of American liberty
that wcll-rogulatcd militia, and not
standing army, Is safeguard OF public
order. To make the army larger than it
would otherwise be-, "in consequences Of
workmcn's riots" or as II possible protec-
tiol against future riots, Is n step In the
path Of absolutism. Retrenchmcnt Is TO he
successfully urged not on grounds OF possi-
bly using one soldier less horc, and two

army has been gradually made to perform
functions properly belonging to local mill

THIS misuse Of tho army Is one source os
It's being scattered into hundreds Of little
garrisons including the settled aud quiet

the army 10 perform militia duty and the

The Motion for New Trial in Hunter.

One Of tho points raised by tho counsel
for BENJAMIN HUNTER, convicted Of murder
at Camden, New Jersey, on n motion for
new trial. possesses much interest. 1t is
that there were several avorments In the
summing up Of the Prosecutor that were
not supported by evidence.
What nverments arc, or arc not, supported
by evidence, Is a matter on which the coun-
sci on opposite sides frequently differ very
widely. OF course lawyer is not 10 mis-
state evidence; but he may aver, as n fact
what seems 10 him clearly deduclblc from
the evidence when the other side would not
conccde that any such deduction could
properly be made.
Just where the line Is 10 be drawn Is a
worry nice point TO determine heretofore
great latitude has usually been allowed 10
counsel This motion Is an attempt TO cur
tail It; and the motion derives additional
interest from the circumstance that a now
trial in another case was recently granted
on the same ground.
Should tho doctrine on which the motion
fosts become generally established, lawyers
will have 10 be very circumspect not 70
leopard verdict in their favor by stating
their own case too strongly.

Church in Scotland previous to the divis-
ion into ak dioceses, made in March, 1878,

may not be out of place here to refer to an
old statistical record, published by Spot
tiswoode, and quoted by the Rev. James
Carruthers in his Catholic History Of Scot
land. 1t gives list of all the religious
housee, etc, before the Reformation, and
some of the facts brought out are rather
peculiar. There were 81 collegiate
churches, of which II were in Berwick
shire and the Lothisns % hospitals; %
houses of the Canons Regular of St. Au-
gustine, mostly in Argyll, Perth and Fife

course, refer to the universities; they were
served by priests under Dean or Provost.

played in its management great adminiEtra-

ing to the wants of two or three congrega-
tions srce the epidemic commenced, has re-
turned to the Home, where he is now almost
alone having sent all the Brothers and most
of the boys TO the Farm.
Owing TO the present condition of the peo-
pie of this city the finances Of the Home are
getting into q very critical condition. Under
o syttem OF the most rigid economy it takes
ct least S400 to pay the bills for food per
moLth and for the last three months the in
come has not been over 500 per month. For
the balance Father Marine hes 10 go in debt.

of which is still due and bearing interest.

LETTER FROM CANTON.

CANTON, MISS, Oct. 7, 1873.
Editor Morning Star:
Please acknowledge, through your columns.
the receipt of fifty dollars $50, q contribution
from the congregation Of ST Joseph's Church.
Petersburg, Virginia, forwarded September
goth by the Pastor, Rev. Thos j. Wilson, to
Father Cogau, the late martyr pas or Of this
place, for the Catholic srtferers from yellow
fever of Canton.
We are under many obligations for this
timely succor, for, though the noble Howards
have done, and are doing, their utmost to re-
lieve distress in every instance, without dis
tinction of race or creed, yet there are eases
which demand relief that con be known to the
priest only.
1t is to be regretted that Catholic Societies
and congregations did not send their contribu-
lions to the Bishop or Vicar General, or to
some prominent Catholic laymen in trust fer
their Catholic brethren, suf1erers from the pre-
vailinR scourge, for many who are in great
distrtss, and non Catholics rs we'll as Catholics,
who shrink from publicity, or who are beyond
the reach Of public body, like the Howards
and others, could be better cared for.
With grateful hearts we, Catholics of Can

of Peterburg.
Sincerely, Mr.. Editor, your servant in Chritt,
