TThat May be Exported from grant's Ad niiuistrutlou. From the N. Y. Nutton. One of the uufortunate but inevitable ao companlments of a oanvas8, or in fact of all government by popular agitation, is that a measure cannot be carried without exciting extravagant expectations aa to its result. It la impossible, for iustauce, in the present or Any probable condition of the human faoulties, to eleot a l'reeident by a party vote without leading the majority to look for a muoh greater Improvement in the condition of the country aa the reward of their exertions than is in the nature of things possible. Consequently, few Presidents ever pass through one term with out greatly disappointing their supporters. Of course there would be some disappoint ment, even if an arohaDgel were put in the chair, for it won id not be in the power of aa archangel to reward everybody who took an active part in the canvass, according to the applicant's own estimate of bis deserts. But there is also sure to be a good deal of disap pointment for which the hack politician is not responsible. No man can have ten or fifteen eulogistio "lives" written of him, or have Several hundred orators and newspapers de vote themselves for half a year to extolling Lim, and making light of his defects, without Buffering from the cold criticisms of later and calmer days. Moreover, there is no man out of oflloe, and who has never held offloe, who can ever have his fitness for oilioe weighed aoourately, even by the acutest observer. The cumber of those in every State of whom it may be said, with slight modification, what Tacitus said of OUlba, that they enjoy a repu tation for statesmanship the oontiuuanoe of which depends on their never being oalled en to govern, is necessarily very great. More over, we have bad a good many Presidents Whose elevation was not even due to an un tested reputation for administrative capacity, but simply to accident or intrigue. The very best and ablest man must, there fore, owing to causes which have their root iu Luman nature itself, expect to see the lustre of bis name considerably dimmed by the time his first term of ollice has closed. We have little doubt Ibis will prove true of Grant as of others, though none of bis predecessors since Washington bus gone through, under the eyes of the nation, before assuming ollice, such a Severe trial of all bin qualities, mental as well moral, as be has. His enemies have tried in vain to represent him as a mere soldier, and to warn people against him, for reasons that xvould apply to St. Arnaud or Felissier and IVindiscbgratz; and the reason they have failed is, that the man who succeeds at the Lead of an American volunteer army can never be a mere soldier. A mere soldier could not and cannot com mand such an organization, because it ' is not and cannot be made the perfeot military machine which is all set in motion by touching a single spring, as the Austrian or French army is. Even when in its best state for military purposes, it retains very largely its civil character, and has to be managed and mammvred with a very large amount of that civil prudence, that power of persuasion, respect for prejudices and pecu liarities, and skill in judging of individual character, which go to make a statesman's success.' An American general who maintains good relations with the Federal Government, good relations with the Governors of the States, retains the confidence and respect of the troops and the good opinion of the publio during arduous and difficult campaigns, such as Grant's have been, has passed through au ordeal such as no foreign general is ever called cpon to encounter, and must possess many of the highest qualities of a civil ruler. Within a lew days Grant will, we believe, be elected, lie has been, since the Nation man wrote this. Ed. Evb. Tel. While, therefore, perfectly aware that the triumph of the Republican party and the installation of Grant in the White House will not bring or even materially hasten the millennium, we believe there are certain things of the highest Value which a man who is neither sanguine nor excited may, attt-r due allowance has been made for the froth of the campaign, count on as all but certain to result from it. It will, iu the first place, we will not say put an end to crimes and outrages at the South, but it will greatly diminish their number so far diminish it as to produce what will be for the South a condition of peace and security; and this not w holly, or even in great part, by the application of force, for Grant will not have at his dis posal the means of policiug the South. Bat he will have the means of ending the tlagrant disorders, partly by the supply of aid to the civil authorities in bad cases, and partly through the tiled on the (southern imagina tion of the fact that the malcontents have neither sympathy nor support to look for at Washington. It must be remembered that order is not preserved in any community not even in conquered communities by the direct nse of foroe. A reasonable apprehension of punishment, and a tolerably clear -apprehen-fciou of the uselessness of resistance, is all that the most turbulent community needs to reduce it to something like tran quillity. Even in the worst districts of the South, the great bulk of the people desire a quiet lite, and it only needs the belief that the state of things now esta blished is not to be changed by assassination or arson, and that attempts to change it in this way will be repressed with the strong band, to produce as close a semblance of order even in Texas as is possible in the ex isting moral condition ot the population. The election of Grant will, iu fact, be the approval by the country, after four years' deliberation, of the plan of reconstruction adopted by Con gress. The most sanguine or nighty Southern politician will hardly continue to hops for the reversal of such a judgment as this. In the next plase, although we do not flatter ourselves that Grant's election will com pletely remove all danger to the public credit, ft will give all the weight and influence of the Government, and of a formal expression of publio opinion, to that portion of the Repub lican party which adveoates the honest pay ment of the publio debt. It will not silenoe the Butlerites; it may not prevent a split of the Republican party on this very question, and the return of its chief knaves and a large body of its more recent recruits to their old plaoes in the Democratic ranks. But it will certainly cow, and mar silence, the tepudiatora until the finances have teen reduced to order, and something like a settled nolicv adopted with regard to revenue and taxation. That this is the general ex citation both at home and abroad is shown f th rise in the value of greenbacks and (lATOmment bonds since the reeent 8tate lections. That is to say, the merest prospeot t , trims do. has carried us nearly a fifth of the way towards speoie payments with out any cost to tne oouniry. uu oiouhul -.in n.i-rv n niill further, and then au eoono xnlcal management of the Treasury, and the Buppression of war-horses in the House and Senate, will, it i to be hoped, speedily do the rest. Tbongh last, not least, Grant's election will afford the best chance that has ever bsen offered of a reform in the oivil servioe. It is only lately that the necessity of this has become fully apparent to the publio. While population was small, society simple, and the Work of government comparatively light, the evils of the existing system were not very striking. Since the war they have assumed proportions which it is no exaggeration to call awful, for tbey positively threaten the exist ence of the Government. From Presidents taken from the ranks of the regular politi cians, bred under the influence of party usages and traditions, it was useless to expect any assistance . in the work of reform. Even to Mr. Lincoln, honest and well-meaning as he. wax, the present plan of appointing publio servants wore tun appearance of a portion of the natural oilier of the universe, and there was something pa tbetio as well as painful in watching him devoting the first three preoious months of his first term of office when the enemy was lite rally at the gates, and the Government appa rently in the throes ot dissolution to the dis tribution of "the polls" in such manner as to "satisfy the claims of localities" and reward the various back politicians of all degrees who bad taken part in the canvass. Now, Grant is not a regular politician. lie will be the first President the oountry has bad for many a long day on whom old pirty doctrines, as to "spoils" and "claims," will have no influence. He has been bred in a very different and a very much better school a school in which honor and merit are still words that mean something, and that stand for forces in human affairs. He has shown, too, in his administration of the army, that he knows a good man when he sees him, and that as soon as be sees him he clasps him to him with hooks of steel. He is by eduoation and temperament the foe of Jobbsra, intri guers, and blatterers, and will undoubtedly apply to the civil service, iu so far as he can,' the rules of selection and promotion by aid of which he has given such splendid illus tration to American military annals. We may therefore look for, at his hands, in the first place if he gets a fair amount of support from the Senate the formation of a cabinet in which knowledge and ability will count for a great deal, and the "claims of localities" and party usages for very little. We should not be surprised, for instanoe, and should be very much pleased though we know nothing whatever about the probabilities to see him put Mr. Pnmner in the State Department and Mr. Wells in the Treasury. In the next place, the attempts to reform the whole oivil service iu which Mr. Jenokes and Mr. Patter son are engaged, and which will be renewed when Congress meets, will undoubtedly re ceive from him au amount of hearty support such as no regular politioiau would give them. He, like all military and naval officers, will, when brought into actual contact with the diplomatic, revenue, and postal servioe, be sickened by the spectaole of disorder and cor ruption which they offer, and will do what he can to make tbeni what the army and navy are a credit to the country instead of a shame and scandal. The English Elections. FSomthelf. Y. Commercial Advertiser. The English Parliament will be dissolved in a few days, and the elections will immediately take place. The result is looked forward to with great interest, ou account of the probable influence of the new Reform bill upon the election of members. It is estimated that a million new voters will be enfranchised under the new act. This amounts to very nearly ore-half the present electoral vote in England, and so large an addition might naturally be expected to result in a much more lioeral and democratic House of Commons than has been known since the time of Cromwell. But the Tory fears upon this subject are not likely to be realized. Several years must elapse before the English people can realize the full benefits of the extension of the fran chise. The influence of the aristocratic and wealthy classes is so great that the complex ion of the new House of Commons will scarcely undergo any change. There may be a few less Tories and a few more liberals, but the democratic popular element will scarcely be represented at all. Una reason for this arises from the fact that the House of Commons is essentially composed of rich men. Every nif mber pays his own expenses, there are no salaries, and social prestige or exclusiveuess will continue to keep poor radical reformers out of the House until the Amerioau plan of paying legislators shall have been adopted. The chief issue in the English canvass seems to turn upon the Irish Church question. The great rival orators and statesmen, Disraeli and Gladstone, have joined issue upon this subject. Mr. Disiatli heads the opposition of Reform, and opposes the establibhment of the Irish Church by pressing into bis service the old worn-out cry of "No Popery !" It remains to be seen how much this will help him. The Prime Minister is shrewd and far-seeing, and he probably does not greatly overrate the im mense amount of bitter seotariau bate that can be excited in England upon any questiou involving danger to the Established Church. lie takes the ground that the disestablishment of the Irish Episcopal Church, with its enor mous revenues and privileges, will ba fol lowed by a crusade against the Established Chmch in England, lie is piobably oorreot in. this, as it is scarcely in the nature of things that the progressive English people cau long continue to tolerate the absurdity of a State religion of any kind. But there are in England alone about twenty thousand Episcopal clergymen, and of these nineteen-twentielhs will be Mr. Disraeli's most active supporters. They are all men of education; many of them possess wealth and high social distinction, and can influence many persons; and they constitute an immense recruiting body for the clever Prime Minister. They will pound the "drum eoolesiastio" against Gladstone and Irish Churou Reform at a lurious rate, and will be certain to exercise no unimportant influence upon the issue of the election. That Mr. Disraeli will suooeed iu gathering a majority in the new House of Commons is possible rather than probable. It is no more probable that the English people could vote to perpetuate the abuses of the Irish Church system than that the Northern people could vote to restore slavery in the South. But pre judice and sectarian bitterness go a long way in many oountrles besides our own, and the Prime Minister may succeed in procuring a kind of half-and-half Reform Parliament, that will neutralize any real reform, and only con sent at last to conoede just enough of juatioe to break the force of the charges of Messrs. Gladstone and Bright, and thus keep himself and his friends in power a few years longer. The Outcry About Disfranchisement. Frvm the iV. T. Timet. The falsehoods of the Demooratio press on the subject of disfranchisement attain their climax iu the Express, which tells its readers that "TbirtT thousand white men are disfran chised in Wetiiern VltglnU, two hundred ilioufcunu In VukiuIh, seventy tuouittnd In Texas, nlrjely thousand 1m M WnlHtpii, eltfhly thousand in Teiiueaaee, ninety ttiomud in Missouri, and lurue numbers in the other Houtberu Suites. Tula wan Uon by the radicals. Moietuauball a million whites denied the right to vote to gratify rarty craft, and the i power conferred upon a ratny negroes ! In thin 'a government of ihepinple by ine people,' au.cn aa white man fougui, i j psrpetd tie 7" Two hundred thousand disfranchised in Virginia? General Sohofield's report, dated December 13, 18G7, shows that in the entire State only 1G.343 failed to register from any cause, andot these not more than 12,000 are actually disfranchised under the Reconstruc tion acts. Seventy thousand disfranchise! in Texas? That is the Demooratio fi.ition. The simple trn'h being that lathe whole State less than 4000 are disfranchised. Competent authori ties fix the number at 3000, basing their esti mate on a comparison of the number regl teied now with the number of voters in 18 GO. We allow a wider margin and call it 4000. Ninety thousand disfranchised ia Missis sippi f So the prji. The total num ber registered there is 13!),6!)0, of whom ab ut 0,000 are whites. Iu 18 (JO the total number of voters was UP, 000. It is sate to assume that tbe new white voters fall short of the voters killed during the war, and in that case tbe aggregate disfranchised oannot ex ceed 9000. Again, !)0,000 in Missouri ? Mere guess work, evidently. The St. Louis br.mocral, in tbe fulness of local knowledge, states the number at between 20,000 and 25,000. "More than half a million whites denied the right to vote," exclaims our Demooratio in structor, referring to the aggregate result iu all the Southern States. A careful examina tion of tbe registration returns in the ten States to which the Reoonstruolion acts apply, and a comparison of these returns with tbe ' number of white voters in 18 GO, brings us to the conclusion that at no time did the disfran chisement enacted by Congress aff-ct more than 70,000 men, of whom probably 25,000 are to be found in the three States not yet re stored to the Union. A total of 70,000, dis tributed over ten States, does not tally with the sweeping allegations invented by the De mocrats for partisan purposes. Moreover, the Reconstruction acts entail no permanent disfranchisement. Not a solitary citizen, white or black, is deprived of a vote, by Congressional action, in any of the recon structed States. The question of suffrage reverts to the States so soon as they comply with the requirements of law, and the com paratively trilling disfranchisement ordered by Congress ends. How, then, have the reconstructed States dealt with the question of disfranchisement ? The Demooratio accusation implies a continu ance of the disability imposed by Congress down to tbe present time. As a matter of faot, however, tbe charge is untrue. Not only have the restored States not adopted a prosoriptive policy, bnt with two exceptions they have pursued a most liberal course. Louisiana and Arkansas alone uphold a system of disfran chisement the latter State in a modified form. Alabama, which at first enacted disabilities, subsequently abolished them, and disfran chisement no longer exists there. In North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, every citizen is a voter. We believe that the I whole sum of disfranchisement in the restored States does not cover more than ten or twelve thousand votes, and these are divided between Louisiana and Arkansas. Everywhere else all the whites vote freely. With disfranchisement in West Virginia, Tennessee, and Missouri, Congress and recon struction are in no m inner connected. The wisdom of continuing a po'icy which had its origin in tbe exigencies of the Rebellion may well be doubted; but that is a matter to be de cided by the States themselves. Congress is no more responsible for the imposition of the disability or the failure to abolish it, than for the more sweeping disfriuchisement whioh is kept up by the Deuioints in Marylaud and Kentucky. If it is proper in Maryland, why not in Missouri? If right iu Kentucky, why not also in Tennessee ? Color is certainly not a greater crime than rebellion. The Mexicauizlng Radicals. From the If. Y. World. Now that the election is over, and that New York has neither been burned nor sacked nor its citizens put to the sword, we desire to impress upon the publio mind a just and abid ing sense of the behavior of those persons who, being in authority among the radio!, sought to use that authority for the purpose of Mexicanizing the politics of this metropolis. The word is not a complimentary word to "our sister republio," but it is exactly expres sive, and we shall make no apologies for using it, therefore, to Juarez or Ortega or Porfirio Diaz, or anybody else who may happen just now to be in power iu the halls of the Monte zumas. None of our own politicians, not even Charles Sumner or Horace Greeley, uai the trick of noble phrases more at his Augers' ends than the Mexican leaders. God and Liberty do duty in their speeches as Humanity and Equality (with large capitals) do in the Tri lune. But, like our own radical politicians, tbe Mexican leaders recognize only two lever for moving the popnlar action the lever of passion and the lever of fear. Of course, the natural result in Mexico is that every politi cal contest rapidly degenerates into an armed coidliut. What has resulted from the long habits of Mexican politicians iu Mexico is threatened by the growing habit of radical leaders in this country. During the whole canvass which ended with Tuesday's elec tion tbe radical journals appealed to the pas sions of the people. They urged the eleotion ot Grant on the ground that the victorious North ought to impress its victory upon the defeated South. They blew steadily upon the embers of sectional hatred They scattered broadcast through the land the most atrocious misrepresentations of Demo oratio principles and the vilest libels upon Democratio leaders. Their columns were tilled with a noise of trumpets aud of drums. They circulated pictures meant to inflame the lust of vengeance in the popular heart, to keep alive the bitterest memories of the civil war, to madden the ignorant negroes into a fury of race against the whites. I heir visible and concentrated purpose was to heat the popular mind np to a point at which reason aud areu nient should be caught up ana consumed, like the sibylline oracles, in the whirl and flame of tbe fninace. The journals having lone their work thus up to the eve of the election, the looal leaders and manipulators then took in baud the lever ot fear. The persons whom radicalism has charged with tbe duty of proteouutr tbe publio peaoe and tbe interests of order were foremost here. The Marshal of the United States for this dis trict, an official whose sole lawful business it is to act as the minister ot the ludioial author ity of tbe Federal oourts in this district, came conspicuously before the people as the scent of a plot for importing the Federal power by terrorism into the looal affairs of New lork city. In oontempl not only of the prin oiples of free government but of his own official oath and clear duty, this person busied himself pnblioly in attempting to ore ate a general panlo as to intended riots on eleotion day, and to throw disoredit on the constituted authorities of tbe city as' unable or indiepof ea to Keep me city's Peace. In this scandalous work he was the tool or the employer or the associate, or all three by tuins, of the Police Commissioners whom radicalism at Albany has inflicted upon the community. Two of these Commissioner in particular, Manierre aud Aotoo by name, both of whom are utterly unknown to the people of New York in any other capacity than that of political adventurers, threw off all pretense of decency and propriety in their effurts to accomplish their netariuus purpose. We do not believe there is a single respectable eitiznu of this city, no matter how intense may l bis sympathy with the radical party in its national policy, who can have read thi report given in the Tribune of the ronduot of Manierre and Aoton at tbe Police Commissioners office on Mid day evening without shame and indigna tion. Acton iu particular was so violent iu his desire to see tbe bayouet brought out into our streets on eleotion day, and so insolent in hie aoonsations of fraud against his owncollsagues who declined to go along with him in his fury, that be compelled the Mayor of the oity, who was present, to say that "he was afraii if Commissioner Acton displayed as muoh ex citement on Tuesday as be did on Monday, he would not only run a risk of losing his own life, but would also cause the loss of many others." Not even this rebuke ooull, how ever, prevent Acton and his confede rates from confirming their Superin tendent, the notorious Kennedy, in his determination to provoke a publio riot if possible by oidering his policemen to make au illegal disposition of persons arrested by them. With these men tbe Governor of the State also acted. Governor Fenton ostentatiously came down from Albany, and, after closetiog him self with aommittee of leadiDg radioal par tisans, gave it forth publicly that he was in consultation with the "Major-General com manding the First Division of New York militia," and that he would spend the day of the eleotion at the police headquarters, in readiness to proclaim martial law. Iu the face of all these proceedings, as to the nature aud tendency of whioh no sane man can entertain a question, what was the attitude of the people of this great city ? Neither did fear demoralize nor fever mad den them. The day pa ised off as all who know the resolute and intelligent fidelity of the people of this great capital to the funda mental principles of free government kuew that it would pass off. New York preserved her composure, uttered her will, and did her duty. Once again, as so often iu the past, ibis magnificent stronghold of true Demo cracy an -I of popular rights put her enemies and slanderers conspicuously to shame. Once more, as often in the past, she approved her self the champion and the hope of sound American principles. But in doing this, did she not also hold up clearly before Heaven for a warning and a sign the moral guilt aud the publio peril involved in the committal of great publio trusts to tbe Mexicanizing vota ries of fraud tad violence whom the radicals inflict upon us in ministers and servants of the law ?
