The Election In Little Falls.

Alectlo1 DAY passed on Pleasantly,
without single occurrence to jar the
general unanimlty Of feeling that pre-.
vailed. We have never known an
election 70 pass of At this place when
the people were 50 thoroughly united
10 the support Of one ticket, as vas
the case on Tuesday last. 1t is true
that many persons voted mixed tick.
cts, but tho leading Democratic cans
didates ran far ahead Of their usual
proportion of votes. This fact SUR
priscd even the candidates themselves
Doubtless the political agitation that
has been experienced during the last
few months had something to do with
this. The ruinous financial policy OF
the Republican party has placed such
heavy burdens upon the shoulders of
the people Of this nation that the
whole political field, from Maine to
California, is ,lpe for a change
Thousands Of voters were so thorough>
y ia sympathy with the policy Of the
Republican party during the war, that
they afterwards found it difficult to
open their eyes to the fact that the
party bad been sold out to the bond
holders of Europe and America, and
had become the tool of bankers and
money lenders. Nothing hut its war
record enabled the Republican party
to retain its hold of the national gov.
eminent until all the business inter-
ests of the country were laid in the
dust, and the worklngmen of the ma
ton, most notably in the eastern States,
were compelled to see their wives and
children pinohed by dire necessity.
The money of the country was locked
up to wait for the end of the unprece~
denied and crushing shrinkage of vail
ues. and tens Of thousands of the bus
mess men who persisted in business
through hope for better times and
desire to employ labor, were thrown in
to bankruptcy. It is no wonder, then,
that the people have at last opened
their eyes, and a. political revolution is
now In progress. This fact reaches
even local politics, and the Democrats
of Morr ison county have now ga ined
a victory, which, all things considered,
Is greater than they ever achieved 5e>
fore. The. popularity of the candi-
dates, the general confidence enter
tanned of their ability and efficiency,
and the growing belief in the political
principles which they represent, all
combined to give the ticket a great
triumph. Here is the result in Little
Falls.
For Judge of the Supreme Court,

The Wonderful Cavern OF Luray.

The first accounts published in the
HERALD of the discovery and partial explor-
alton Of the great cavern at Luray having
excited general interest we deemed the
matter Of sufficient Importance to warrant
the detail of n gentleman Of high attain
ments and experience in scientific matters
to make a thorough examination Of the cave
and to report the result of his investigation
Our special commissioners first letter ap-
peared in yesterdays paper. His second is
published to-day, and we may here state,
to set all doubt and cavil finally at rest
that we vouch unreservedly and positively
for the truthfulness and unexaggerated
character Of every statement that has
been or may be made by our corre-
spondent. With the steady, well dis
ciplined mind of a man of science
he set about his task, rs his letters state,
with the impression that he should find
our first glowing descriptions OF the Won
ders Of the cave at least more enthusiastic
than the facts would warrant. His first
examination convinced him that his doubts
were not we'll founded, and his pictures Of
the crystal chambers, with their fairy-like
adornments, prove that the beauties of the
cave could not even be adequately described
except by master hand. One might we'll
imagine that the skill and taste of the
scenic artist had been employed to create
the effects painted by our correspondent,
and the description Of the music produced
by means Of the pendants in the stalactite
grotto call to mind the wonders Of Alad-
din's Cave.
1t is natural that SO remarkable discov-
cry as the great cave of Luray should bring
to the surface the accustomed number Of
ovcrwise critics and doubters. The Balti-
moreal, publishes an article in which the
assertion is made that the cavern is an old
and well known concern, called Rutfner's
Cave; but this story is set at rest by our
special correspondent, who shows that the
Luray Cave is quarter Of mile distant
from Ruffner's, is in 10 way connected with
the old cavity and leads in different direc-
ton. This is confirmed by statements from
some Of the original explorers Of Rufner's
in the neighborhood. There is no doubt
that the discovery has brought to light as
interesting natural curiosity as can be
found on this continent, and the letters Of
our special correspondent, as thorough in
scientific knowledge as they are rich in
descriptive merit, will be read with absorb
ing interest in all parts of the world.

the necessity to guarantee himself against
one by a treaty with the other; but he had
great difficulty in determining which he
should be with and which against He saw
from the example of Hindostan and tire
crowd Of Indian princes, what would be his
fate on that side. He liked better the rela-
tions to Russia of the Central Asias she
dealt with and he inclined that way;
and he has not taken the responsibility
Of his defiance to England without
certainty on tho side of Russia. And
this war comes at time when England
ought to desire to keep her hands free out
Of consideration OF trouble nearer home;
for of course Russia has played the Ameer
in response to that parade Of force made by
England when she brought her Hindoos to
Europe last year. Russia reasoned then
with all Europe that England had no men.
Seven thousand Hindoos were sent to Malta
as hint that England had an inexhaustible
store where those came from, and Russia
now puts forward the Afghans as a means of
giving those Hindoos occupation and will
90 on with her projects in Europe.

A Criminal ROlnn nee.

Mr. Peace is an English murderer and
burglar Of attainments. His story, as told in
the HI RAID yesterday, may be regarded as
one OF the strangest revelations in the history
of crime About his early youth we are not
informed, but burglary and picture dealing
appear to have been coordinate profess
sions with him until two years ago, when
lie fell in love with another mans wife.
The lady rejected his suit and he throat
encd to murder her. The husband, DIr.
Dyson, moved his household to another
place, and in about six weeks Mr. Peace
waited for the lady in tho back yard of her
house and fired pistol at her. He missed
her. Mr. Dyson came to the door to sec
what was the matter and received bullet
in his head. He died. The detectives
''scoured tho country for Mr.. Peace, but
he slipped through their fingers; he even
managed to have the idea prevail that he
had killed himself through remorse
This simple tale Of lust and murder is,
however, only the prelude to q career of
crime which makes oil the romance about
Claude Duval, Sixteen-st string Jack and the
dandy harrington fade into insignificancc.
For two years after his escape, having set
tied down in the suburbs OF London, he led
the life of a burglar and geMleman-very
much burglar and very much gentleman.
So much of burglar was he that he seems
to have worked out three districts success
sively, and 50 much of gentleman that
his establishment ut Peckham was the
pride of the neighborhood and him
self one OF its most hcnorcd residents.
Now, here was q murderer with q price on
his head ravaging whole neighborhoods at
his case and playing violin solos between

The Halifax Award Paid.

The sum Of five and half million dollars
awarded by the Halifax Commissioners was
paid in London yesterday by our Minister,
Mr.. Welsh, and duly receipted for by Lord
Salisbury. Mr.. Welsh made the business
part of the transaction the occasion Of q
note, one half Of which consists OF. explana-
ton and the other half of protest. He
explains to Lord Salisbury that the award
is paid in consequence of the Presidents
the faith Of treaties and Of not
bringing into discredit the method
OF settling international disputes by
arbitration. The first of these reasons is
conclusive and might have dispensed with
the naming Of any other. The duty Of full
filling a compact cannot be strengthened
by any reasons OF utility outside of the
moral obligation and the binding sentiment
of honor. 1t was equally our duty to stand
by our bargain whether the bargain tended
to encourage or to discourage any particu-
lar mo lie of settling future controversies.
The protest which forms the latter part
of Mr.. Welsh's note is judiciously confined
to single point. The money is not paid
under protest with view TO demand it
back Mt some future time, but only with
view to preclude the idea that we shall
ever consent to regard this award as a
standard for estimating the value Of the
fisheries after the termination of the pres
ent arrangement. There is no protest that
the award is not binding because the Com
missioners were not unanimous, rs this
would be perfectly idle with reference
to future arbilrations. When our govern
mcnt makes another treaty of the kind it
can, If it should think it necessary, require
an explicit stipulation of unanimiiy to
make the decision binding. The country
will heartily approve of the manner in
which tho President has exercised the dis
crction with which he was clothed by Con-
gress in the act making the appropriation.

be evident to the thieyes--frst, that they

one of his accomplices on the stand as a
witness against him.

The Gambetta Duel.

The hostile meeting which took place
yesterday between NJ. Gambetta and NJ. do
Fourtou naturally causes Il sensation i'll spite
of its bloodless result. The bare possibility
that Gambetta's life might have suddenly
terminated at this interesting stage Of his
career is not pleasant thing to think Of,
even by those who share the opinion of ex-
Governor Hoffman, EXPRESSED in the inter-
view which we printed yesterday. "A good
DEAL" he said, depends on Gambettas
life. but the Republic does not now depend
on any one life or two" Still it cam
not be disputed that the Republic has at
present no leader who could fill Gambetta's S
place. One of the greatest misfort,pes
which could befall France would be the loss
Of it's ablest statesman and the one man who
possesses the unlimited confidence of the
republican party. The Republic might
founder on to.established success without
him, but the loss of his guidance would be
an irreparable national calamity. While re-
joicing that he was unhurt we regret that
he was exposed to danger.
It was impossible, howevex, for him to
decline NJ. de Fourtou's challenge. He had
given just occasion for a challenge and was
compelled to accept the consequence inn
posed by the social opinion Of Paris. A
charge of falsehood was an injury which
admitted Of no other redress short Of an
absolute retraction, but the withdrawal of
the word which he made in the Chamber
Of Deputies was merely in Difference to the
rules OF the Assembly and therefore could
not heal M. de Fourtou's wounded honor.
He wisely refused to make any other
form OF retraction-wisely, because
it might have been ascribed to his
fears, and even the suspicion that
it was extorted would have i'm
paired his influence and usefulness. He
was governed by the same motives which
led our own Hamilton to accept the chal-
lenge of Burr. Gambetta's mistake con-
sisted in using the word, not in refusing to
retract it. He is naturally imperuous, but
a SOLDERING sense Of responsibility has en-
abled him to get the better of his impulsive
temper within the last few years, and we
trust that this single lapse will not be re-
peated. 1t does not become SO powerful q
leader to violate the decorum Of debate,
much less to employ an epithet of which q
duel was the necessary consequence.
