The Election.

We have but little to add to our
estimate of last week regarding the
election California we gave to the
Republicans, but later returns give
Hancock five of the six Electors;
the sixth, Judge Terry, was so badly
scratched as to elect his Republican
opponent. The Electoral College
will stand 155 for Hancock and 214
for Garfield. The New York Her
aid estimates General Hancock's ma
jority over General Garfield at 26,
900. The United States Senate will
stand thirty nj ne Democrats to thirty
seven Republicans. The House of
Representatives will probably be Re
publican by very small majority,
say two or three. Tennessee elects a
Republican Governor. The immedi-
ate cause of the defeat of General
Hancack was doubtless the result of
the dissensions which have prevailed
among the New York Democracy for
the past few years. If they had but
done their usual duty New York
would have cast her thirty-five Elec-
toral votes for Hancock, which with
Nevada and New Jersey would have
elected him, to say nothing of the
five votes which he secured in Cali

The WAY Il Puts II.

The following is the way tho New
York Sun puts it. As the FREE Press
stood in the same category with the
Sun, what it says fits our case and
expresses our own views precisely;
When party abandons it's success
full and deserving leaders; when II
party allows it's enemies to dictate
who shall, and who shall not be it's
nominees; when party opens it's
campaign by raising white flag and
beating u retreat, that party has
shown itself to be worthy of defeat,
such signal defeat as has just over
whelmed the democracy. For our
selves we struggled against the inevi-
table from the beginning with n con-
seriousness that no folly could have
surpassed that of making any change
in the presidential ticket which had
carried the country once, and then
had added to it's previous strength
the issue of having been illegally de
prived of Office. To be sure great
deal might have been said about MIR.
Tildens ill health; but the republi-
cans made the same objection to Gen.
Hancock, setting forth that if elected
he would soon die of apoplexy. MIR.
Tilden was the one great democrat
who was free from even the faintest
suspicion of secession. The repub-
leans of this great city knew person
ally that the government would be as
safe in Tilden's hands as in those of
any member of their own party; and
the business men of New York knew
that the great business interests of
the country would be safe in his keep
ing. Such was the prevailing feeling
of confidence in HIM among both
parties.

Immigrants for Texas.
Speciai 10 The GdlrestOn Ne,rs.

New Orleans November 1.-THE
North-German Lloyd steamship
Nurnberg arrived this morning with
$40 German immigrants, forty of
whom remain here and the others,
numbering 900, left by special train
tonight for Texas. The train that
takes them numbers ten passenger
and fourteen baggage cars. This is
one OF the largest II not the largest
body of immigrants ever brought
to any southern port, and
certainly the largest number ever sent
to Texas, at any single time. The
present installment OF new citizens
to our great southern country, comes
from all parts of the Germanic en-
pire, and quite number from the
extreme northern portion of it.
Their Occupations, for the most part
previous to their departure from home
has been farming, and all with very
few exceptions, are young, healthy
robust looking persons, just the peo-
pie best adapted to win their way in
u new world.
It is assured by prominent rail
road man who is in position to
speak authoritatively in the matter
that the sixty-six hour mail service
from New York to Houston is only q
question of time, and of very short
time at that. The very near future
lie says will certainly see it.

The confession of S. L. Morey, ar
rested for perjury, is one of the most
humiliating facts belonging to the
political history of our country. The
man is a mere tool. and his immedi-
ate instigators and accessories are
men of no mark. and they doubtless
will be made to feel the power of the
common law they have wlllfully brok-
en-. But what shall be said of the
committee, composed of the elite of
a great party, that connived at this
crime and condescended to utilize
perjury and rascaity to promote
their political endst Money was
actually paid to the perjurer for his
clumsy lie, and this money hes at
the democratic committee as shame
full reproach. The party name makes
not one whit of difference. Whether
democratic or republican, it would
constitute an off'ense which honor

The LABOR OF AN EDIToR.--Tho

by those who have had the fortune
to have some experience in it. The
merest slip of the pen, an epithet
too much, q wrong date. a name mis-
spelled, or with IL wrong initial be
fore it, the misinterpretation of some
passage, perhaps incapable OF inter
probation, the most trihing offence to
the personal or nation al SUSCEPTIBLE
ty of.those who do not even profess to
care for the feelings of others, may
provo not only disagreeable but cost
ly mistakes; but they are about the
least of the mistakes TO which the
editor is liable The editor must be
on the spot until the paper is sent to
press, and make decisions on which
not only the approval of the public,
but even great causes may hang. He
cannot husband his strength with
comparative repose in the solitude OF
n study, or the freshness of green
fields. He must see the world, con
verse with it's foremost of busiest
actors, be open for information, and on
guard against error. All this should
DO borne in mind by those who com
plain that journalism is not infallibly
accurate, just and agreeable.

New York World: Prof. Felix
Adler discussed in Chickering hall
yesterday on 1.-THE power Of the
press upon progress" He began
with the familiar comparison of the
press to Briareus as a hundred-hand-
ed giant, its wonderful prosperity
and the rapidity with which its
news was collected. He referred to
to its control by men of sagacity.
business tact and fairness; spoke of
the enormous sums of money ex-
pended in Geographic news, and
said he believed that a potent safe
guard against an empire in. this
country was the newspaper, and
that if those who are crying for Il
strong government could succeed
and attempt to curtail the liberties
of the people, newspapers would be-
come the champions of the people
and force thecOnspiratOrst oabandon
their designs before the time for the
cOnsumation. DIR. Adler, whencon-
Guiding, said that the only abuse of
newspaper power was when it in

SIR: 1t is a matter greatly to be
deplOred that Mr.. Tilden is calmly
and energetically pursuing the NOM
ination. If there was anything
magnetic about the man, anything
which could take hold of the sym
pathies and arouse the enthusiasm
of the people, the situation might
be different. But there is nothing
of the kind. He is absolutely a
dead weight to-day upon the party.
1t IS generally felt herea bouts that
we cannot get along without an ag-
gressive campaign, and that with
Mr.. Tilden we should be on the de-
fensive throughout. Grant will in
all probability command the nOmi-
nation at Chicago leaving much
dissatisfaction in his path to the
White House. The general senti-
ment with rare exceptiOns) is in
favor of Mr.. Bayard in Central New
York, and he will command many
votes which, if Mr.. Tilden is nomi-
mated, will surely but reluctantly be
given to Grant.
Why will not Mr.. Tilden candidly
weigh the honest probabilities and
withdraw with dignity; allowing
harmonious action once more in the
Democratic party? Very respect
fully yours, DEMOCRAT.

The bronze horse case is at last
decided, and the city of Nashville
will not be disappointed i'm its ex-
pectatiOn of an equestrian statue of
Gen. Andrew Jackson, to be un-
veiled at the centennial Of that city
on the oath inst. Judge Hagner
heard arguments yesterday from
Mr.. Randall Hagner on behalf of
John G.. Garland for the eontinu-
ance of the Injunction against its
removal, and Messrs. BARLEY, Mer-
rick and Darlington for the dismiss
sal of the restraining order already
granted. These occupied the whole
day At the close Judge Hagner,
in lengthy opinion, decided that
all the equities in GarIand's bin had
been met in Clark Mills answer,
and discharged the restraining or
der, at the same time denying an
Injunction. He said that Garland
would have an action at law for
trCspass against Mills for entering
upon his grounds to remove the
statue, but that he had no remedy
in equity. Work will be COM
menced this morning in shipping it
