As the wnt ont in a (run if of jnaduBsB produced by falsehood, it was well that she rhoald take ample time for her re turn; bat that tiuie hi uow been exoeod,d.

Then lot all dUtrauuubeuiHota be speedily re moved, aud let her people forget their pist aberrations in a new aud lasting devotion to that Union which wn their strength and Shield until "vilely cast away." A sat jnct now fitly commiuding much atten tion iu ''the Old Duiuiuiou" aud her promis ing young daughter. West Virginia, is the opening ol direut railway communication be tween the Ohio river and Chesapeake Bay. A good portion of the distance was long since traversed by the Virginia Central, while muuh grading has been done, but (we believe) no rails laid, on the Covington and Ohio Railroad, In Went Virgiuia. Acts have parsed the Le gislatures ot both Virginia and West Virgiaia providing for a consolidation of the existing corporations and completion of a through line on the route np the Kanawha and down the James, which, since the day of George Wash ington, has been regarded by Virginians as not only the shortest and most direct but the easiest and most natural channel of artifioial communication between the Atlantic and the Great Valley. Negotiations looking to the legal consolida tion of the existing companies into one which Shall be charged with the completion and operation of -'the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail load" are now in progress, and some diver gences of views or of interests have been deve loped. One party prop jaes to cut the knot by the sword. General btoneman, commanding the military department which inoludea Vir ginia, is solicited to insne an edict, deoiding that the required consolidation shall be ell'ectei in a certain way and under certain aus pices, and not otherwise. We presume him incapable of such an abuse of authority, but we shall nevertheless record our protest against it. Civil authority was rightfully con ferred by Congress on the military arm for no Such purpose as that here contemplated, but for the protection of personal rights and the preservation of oidtrand peace. We trust all necessity for such authority will soon cease; meantime, let it not be discredited by glaring abuse. We understand that Northern capital stands ready to supply the missing links in the proposed and much needed chain SO soon as the diUerences now existing shall be finally adjusted. L-ave business arrange ments to business men, arjd let the military power be eatitfl-d with doing its whole duty in protecting personal rights and preserving the pnblio $. eaue. Honor Duly r.ild. from the N. T. Tribune. Deb) r ohm as we are of doing even and exact justice to everjbody, we cheerfully admit the extreme modesty wilu which Mr. lilair has conducted his feLare of the late canvass. lie lias subntaatial'y sid every whure: "The Vice Presidency is of no importance; the incum bent of that plac-t is powerless for good or evil; and such being the character of the office, why m I not as fit for it as any man ?" lie has even goun so far as to compare the Vice-Presidency to the liith wheel of a ooaoh. Mr. Beyinsur also has not been sparing of Similar remarks respecting the higher seat to which he has teen anpiring. He has called at tention to the taut that even if he should be elected to the Presidency, he would, with a Republican Congress against him, be a sort of titled nobody, a mere pivot for the revolving government, a political abstraotion and a simple ornament. Both these gentlemen seem to have been gapping for an election as for a mere personal compliment, and have claimed to be trusted because, in the event of their elevation, very little would be confided to them. After their inanguration, they pre dicted for themselves : that both would be merely wooden images would the people have the heart to deny them honors so trifling ? Might not the one be a grand and the other a little Lama, without danger to the country t It is painful to find humiliation like this so completely fruitless. When the cat has taken so muuh trouble to roll herself in meal, it is both provoking aud uncivil for the rats to find her out. It wax veiy kiud, of course, for bath the "Democratic" candidates to dwell so per sistently upon the safeguard of a Republican Congress, but tlie resuliof Tuesday last shows that the Deoule prefer that the Kxeontive aud Legislative branches bliould be iu a condition of tolerable accord. They are sick of the dis jointed condition of i Hairs which has been so long prevailing iu Washington. They have had vetoes enough to satisfy their appetite for that ankle for a century. They know well enough that however contemptuously Mr. Seymour may apeak of the Presidential, how ever flippantly Mr. Blair may speak of the Vioe-l'reetdential office, that both President and Vice-President may, if so minded, do a vast deal of mischief. Tuey have said to both the "Democratic" candidates, "You are not the men for these places, powerless as you consider them to be.' ' Unhappy gentlemen I It is at onoe a pain and a pleasure to think of them as politically defunct forever. W will speak kindly of them, for they have done the Slate the service of demonstrating that honesty is the best polioy after all, in American politics as in everything else. Being dad, they yet make speeches to us. As they have lost in their defeat the reverence and respect of their own followers, they are doubly entitled to the sym pathy of Republican, and they really have ours. "Let us," said Mr. Seymour, at Wilkes- V T 1 . .Li.. . 1 . ... i . . oarre, i ., ai im nounuu iry vo see now best we may terve our country." The people have decided that "they also serve who ouly stand and wait." It is not probable that Mr. Beyniour or that Mr. Blair wilt ever stand gbin; and they will thus be able to wait, as we hope, with philosophical patienos. The Next lYcsIiIeut. From Uie Botton Punt. Ilie flection ot TueBday corBtitutlonally DiaaeH iirueiai uruui iuw uexb I ioaijeut 01 be United States for lour years. II was "ught up by the dominant party in Congress save them from the popular condemnations ch were about to oulininate in their defeat at the polls; and snoh was the eagerness to I make sure of the shield which his military I prestige interposed between them aud raio,i.ht tbey willingly took him as a candidate without a policy, and practically con looted the whole canvass on their side without connecting hli name with a single promiueut issue. When ever he was alluded to, it wai not in oonneo tien with the disousnion either of priajIpUs or polioy. No candidate for offi je was ever more completely dissociated by his supporters from both. Ilia name came iu only as we catch the flourish of trumpets iu the pro gress of a play, to divert the pnblio attention Irom too searching an inquiry into the actual Situation. If he proves to be a man with small regard for the laHlirjg ojiuiona of his countrymen, In will oppose no views or purposes of his owj to their predetermined plans. But if a high lenpe of self respect and a profonuder sense of pnbMo responsibility rule bis oharaoter, we have proclamation made in alvanoe by the couriers of the party that there will be trouble. As be professes to be a patriot, and as he wilt have solemnly sworn to "proteot aud defend" the Constitution of his oouutrv, he oaimit abandon that safe ground to follow after the movements of dreamers, dogmatist?, aud revo lutionary experimenters. Policy or no p llcy, the time will BUiely oome when General Grant must take his position, and inaiuUin it, either within the limits of the Constitu tion or without them. We knotr too well where the Radical leaders are; tiaae nlorio will fix the place of ths Presideut elect. If the Tenure-of-ollice restriction is oontinued, it will practically matter little who is the Executive; and it may come to that, unler radical rule, by and by, when it will be of little importance whether we have any Execu tive at all. Aud if, on the other hand, Con gress unties the Presidential hands, it will by that act convict itself of gross partisanship in its previous conduot, and thns a second time commit an open outrage on the sense of the country by the concession. Bat whichever course that body may ehct to pursue, the people will expect General Grant, made Presi dent by their own votes, to administer the Government within the full limits of his con stitutional authority, and to execute their will as it is embodied in the organio law. W hen a citizen of one of this sisterhood' of States becomes the President of the Federal republio, he is theoretically lifted above the platform of all parties, aud from that hour represents the majesty of the united people. What a man would do as the Executive of a State he might be utterly opposed to doing a) Executive ol the nation. That is the theory on this matter which kaa become the estab lished one. Therefore for ourselves we pro poee to apply to the policy and conduct of the next President those rules of political criticism whicii . are consonant both with his high position and with eur changed relations to its oocupaut. lie becomes from a private citizen, from a Gene ral of the armies, the President of the United States. Ilia administration Is yet to be opened. A plaoo is prepariug in history for it when completed. Whatever he shall do in conformity, first, to the spirit and meaning of the supreme law, that we shall never hesitate to approve ard 6uppert; and whatever he may do to contravene that law, to overlook it, over ride it, or undermine it, we shall not omit to combat and condemn. That law shall bi our standard of judgment still. It is the very bulwark and defense of our republican liber ties, and no man speaks even slightingly of it who knows genuine freedom well enough to recognize the barriers, and strongholds, and intrenchments. The more devoted a President is to the Constitution, the more devoted we promise to be to him. The temptations of the dominant party to continued excesses are likely to be multiplied by their present success. Hence the greater need of the very restraints which are consti tutionally appointed. General Grant oanuot be more than human; and, allowing that Con gress consents to give him the full enjoyment of his cilice, he will do no more than the most illustrious in the line of Presidents have done bwtore him, in submitting unreservedly to the distinct terms on which he becomes the high est officer ot the Government. Aud iu doing that, he will by the same act demaud that Congress shall keep to the legislative province alone, encroa hing neither on the Executive nor the Judiciary, and performing no more than the offices of its original crea'iou. On every side are to be found limitations. The people had full power on Tuesday; that day they gave away again only that part which they have themselves deemed necessary to promote their highest interests. If the Presi dent elect, as he approaches the plaoe of power, shall show that he acoepts this simple and primal principle of our republican govern ment, he will not fail to satisfy the full expec tations ot the American people. we nave now a right, to expect peace, re union, equal rights, equalized taxes, a sound currency, the revival of industry, the diminu tion of the publio debt, a lightening of taxa tion, the steady rise in the publio securities, the resurrection of commerce, and the return of general prosperity, on the strength of the reiterated professions and promises of the still dominant party. Their journals claim to have met these very issues iu the reoeut can vass, and satisfactorily. Theu they are to bs held to their word. All that they have under taken they must religioudy perform, more especially as they have freely denied to their political opponents the capacity for success fully handling such matters in practice. Ia the political administration of the Govern ment we shall wait willingly for suoh public acts as we can consistently approve. We shall be glad to cive the now President a fair opportunity to establish a' fame, as a civil ruler, far above anything he has hitherto achieved aa a military commander. In his prospective career he will receive our free approval on the same ground with our criticism. We shall judge his administra tion on its merits alone, looking, in common with the people of the country, for the inau guration of publio measures to uphold the rule of law, and to again build up the general prosperity. . A lllumlcr. From the N. T. Evening foil. Iu war, it is said, a blunder is worse than a crime; and the blunders ot the Tammany conspirators on Tuesday n'ght threaten to bt more damaging to their reputation, and more dangerous to their success, tbaneven the enor mous crimes they had eomuitted in forging votes during the day. The reports from the State reoeived at Tam many Hall by William M. Tweed, immedi ately after the election, suein to have been, like thoee received by others, very favorable to the Republicans. lie doubtless had, at 8 o'clock, in answer to the secret oiroular to which the figuature of Samuel J. Tilden wai forged, substantially the same returns which reached the publio about 11 o'olook, and wbioh satisfied the best Judges that the State had gone for Grant and Griswo'd by a smll majority, in spite of th enormom majority of 50,0(10 then supposed to have been oast for the Democrats iu this city. But the letums from most of the city wards were still held back. Iu ten or twelve wards the vote could not be obtained by the p lioe officers until there had beu ample time to send inbtructious from Tammany to the la- ppeotors to stuff the' ballot-boxe with thi re quired number of tiokeis, aud afterwards tu count them in full. ' The seoret circular discloses a plot laid by the Democratic Tammany Committee to cheat the people oat of their deuixton, if tbey shoal I dec de against iloffuiin. Tne actual holding back of the returns ou eleotion night sho V a moral oertainty that th plot was oarried out. But the absolute demonstration iu figures might have been Impossible, but for the stu pidity either of Tammany iu dtuauiiag, or of its tools aUhe billot-boxes iu aUemp.iug,more than was needed. . The conspirators bad provided "ample room and Verge enough" for th-dr frauds by registering forty thousand more nauie than there are legal voters in the city. Of thU exoeao, some thirty thousand, at least, were iu districts which thry coutrollei without check. They had but to keep a careful ac count of th number of faUe names registered in each voting district, and the conspirators at Tammany might send to each district direc tions how manv of the fal-te votes should b credited to Hoffman. Tin ouly precaution required was tint no district should report a total vote in excess of its registry. Iu the haste and oontusiou of the conspira tors on Tuesday, this precauti n wa na gleoted. Their tools have, iu inauy iustaaoss, either been carelessly instructed, or hive exceeded their instructions. For example, we 11 ud in the World, which attempts to turn the wl ole subject of fraud uleut voting into a j"ke, that the Twenty first district of th Eighteenth ward returns a majority of 410 for Hoffman, in a vote of &00, the total regis try of the district being 'ill; and that the TweLtieth district of the NiUHtnth ward, out of a reglstrv of 320, returns 433 votes for Hoffman aud 133 for Griswol 1. The Hun hss token the trouble to mike a table of the districts in which the Tammany conspirators have thus blundered, and flu is no less than twenty-two of them, returning an aggregate majority of 4385 for Hoffman aud of 3705 lor Seymour; probably much more than half the total majority to be returned for the latter in the State. These twenty-two districts, being fraudulent on tbelr face, can form no part of the returns aoeepted by the State canvassers. They must be thrown out firct of all. But they suggest another inquiry. If the conspirators have blundered In 22 out of 823 districts, so as to expose them selves upon the face of the returns, in how many others have they succeeded iu keeping within the limits of fraud they had previously prepared? They are not men of less than common shrewdness; but it is assuming them to be rather unusually foolish in their choice of tools to suppose that they have blundered as badly as this iu one cane ont of five. If they have been shrewd enough to get the plot carried out. according to its design in four tilths of the districts, then the whole number of districts instructed to stuff the ballot-boxes on Tuesday night must have been one hundred and ten. At the reasonable average of two hundred, which is mush less than the actual average of Hoffman's reported majority in the districts of the First, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, and many other wards, here is a deduction of 22,000 to be made from his pretended majority' in this city, on the single ground of fraudulent counting, or "ballot-box stuffing" alone, apart from the fraudulent votes actually cast during thedav. On the whole, Mr. Iloll'man'scasa looks very badly. He appears to have very much the same right to be Governor that the receiver of stolen goods, knowing theta to be stolen, has to the property for which he pays one fourth of its value in money and the balance iu reputation. The rmiileiilial Llectinn and the Tarty Tress. From the If. T. Herald. There is a grand exhibition of human nature in the several organs that rejoioe over the Republican victory or try to put a good face on the Democratic defeat. It is astonishing to sea bow the heavy radical organ glorifies aul struts in the triumph of Grant -that same Grant whem it so bitterly opposed so long as it gave utterance to its own opinion, and whose nomination to the Presidency it scouted from the commencement as the last of all possible party crimes. Fancy suoh an organ pluming itself on the triumph of such a oaudidate. An other rail it al org an draws the abstract teaou ing that "in American politios it is radicalism that always triumphs," as if it fancied that Grant might be a radical; and the least posi tive of all our Republioan sheets looks to the fact that now "the reconstruction measures will have a fair trial," as if there was nothing in Grant's success but the possible salvation of those bad laws. These organs are still in the dust of the struggle, have received no party cue for the future, and thus are without ideas. The Copperhead sheet comforts Seymour with the suggestion that he will be spared all the bother ot office, and expresses a dofiuite opinion that he did right in acoepting the nomination when he did, but that his real mibtake was in declining it so repeatedly b.-fore. How ingeniously this disagrees with the conviction of the people of twenty-six States, who have decided that it was just the other way that he was right in declining from the first, and wrong iu aooeptlng when he did 1 This organ has decided that the Chase idea was a great harm to the party. There is no doubt ot that. The mention of Chase's name as the Democratio candidate raised popular hope that the Ddtnooraoy in tended to do a great act. Expectation was at a generous height, and this was thrown down terribly when the name of Seymour was posted on the walls of that grand policy shop in Fourteenth street. No question but that disappointment was a severe thing for Sey mour with the people. The organ of the red- hot Druiooracy studies New York as a bass of operations for the Democratio future, and gives the alternative of reduced "taxation or repudiation," advUing Congress to "tax the bonds this winter or call out troops to defend the revenue collectors next winter." This, considering the provocation, is rather tame, and we must assume that defeat has a oool- ing and depressing effect upon even Brick Him self. There is one hint of reuentanoe for mlsba- bavior. The Copperhead organ regrets that Seymour, who was disposed to "pitch the can vass in a moderate key," was not more suooess- ful in smog the tone to discussion. Perhaps. then, that sheet is ashamed of itself, ashamed of its disgraceful epithets and of its scavenger like conduct towards the great leader of the American people. From the violent organ of the other tide there is no evidenoe of coui pucction on this score; but as the great incen tive to violent speech is now over, it is probable that every man will not be a "liar" for three or four j ears to come. lllosslngs Iu Disguise. From the 2V. 7. Timet. Our Demooratio contemporaries try hard to be cheerful. Tbey are cultivating a nuilo sophii al piety, aud from defeat contrive to pluck holy consolation. They see in Tues day 'a decision the finger of Providence, anl in the overthrow of their party traie blessiu in disguise. I it not ut well as it is?" asked one meekly; aud the answer of all is in the allirmative. Success, they tell n, "would have been a positive evil to the Demooratio party." "The possession of the Executive Department," the same wise heads assert, as omer things win stand. Would have been demoralizing iu its effects." Ia shirt, the newspapers ot the defeated party are mount ing their sweetest smiles, aud chirping with a degree et cheerlulnens that Is positively delightful. Far ie it from us to question the elnoftrUr of these expressions. Of oouree ths Demo cratio journalists always mean exactly what tney say. 'ineyare always what ther pro fess to be. If they are exultaut now, it U heoause tney are satioiHd. it they ae grate Inl for delta', it is because they know ttiit Demooratio success would have been a bvl thii'g lor the country. If they are contented and happy, it is because the country his realized lueir hopes ini fulfilled thulr hon est expectations. AH this must be assumed, or this paiade of pleasuie becomes arraut hjpooii-y. But really there are a few points ou whioh explanation would be satisfactory. For months past the same presses have poured loriu lamentations ever the c inditiou of the country, and the necessity of Democratic suocesn as a meaus of averting abolute ruin. They declared that everything is iu a bad way, and that the el. otiou of tSejmiur was required to put things right. Thy asserted that Demooratio defeat ou the 31 of N J Vein ber would be equivalent to national disaster. To aveit eo great a calamity they have foujut with the energy ol desperation in every btat-t in the Union. They have sanctioned riot and assassination, perjury and fraad, simply aui solely b cause they were auxious to make Seymour President. A long record of crimes pel pet rated iu bis behalf forbids the supposi tion that the Dtinocrats did not desire his election. The only demoralizati n they theu dressed was the demoralization incident to defeat. Whence, then, the new light that 'affirds the consolation to which Democratic readers are treated by their reputed instructors f What has opened the eyes of the blind, and given conscience to the patrons of per jury and the iriends of murder aud fraud t Wnat pro- ceEB of reasoning brings them to the conclu sion that all their talk about the danger of eiectmg Urant has been sneer uninbuir, and that the Seymour they sustained so noisily was after all a pretender f Will somebody explain r The T.rty of Fraud. From the If. Y. World. Horace Greeley's "blockheads" were to have held a jury of inquest on the dead body of New Yoik radicalism Thursday night at the Union League. Whether they were to do th's out o a gennine desire' to a certain "who killed Cock Robin" in spite of his monitor mail of brass, or merely as an excuse fur eat ing a ceitain number of small birds aud im bibing a reasonable quantity of champagne. we know nut, neither do we greatly care. But if they "meant business," we hope they paid proper attention to the Tribune of Thursday. in that veracious journal It stands recorded that on Tuesday last "one W. H. B." possi bly a member of the great chronometrical family of Blunt came "at one of the polls" upon "a gang or about twenty rouuhs." These "roughs" W. U. B. saw vote, aud, as he eays, "immediately proceeded to the next polling district and voted again !" Obviously, a strict oonstructioa of this statement would require us to understand that W. II. B., supposing the "roughs" to be Democrats, aud anxious to neutralize their votes, went off, broke the law, and voted him self "in the next polling district." But W. U. B. is probably an importation from one of those rural aud radioal diitricts in which the school teachers are as destitute of grammar as the school-houses are of the most ordinary conveniences for securing decency. He, doubtless, does not mean that he voted twice himself, and is only trying, in his clumpy, ignorant way, to make us understand that he saw the "twenty roughs" aforesaid vote twice. If Lis time had allowed, he adds, he has no doubt he could have Been them vote ogain and again. We have no doubt of it, for, as W. H. B. goes on to show, these "roughs" were an or ganized gang of radical "repeaters," who had a perfectly good understanding with the radi cal inspectors and the radical police. When W. 11. B. "asked a police officer" if he could be assisted in "challenging" these "ronehs." the complacent minion of Kennedy and Acton replied, "You'll run a chance of having your head btoke." And so W. II. B., valuing his head more than liberty aDd the rights of man and the purity of the ballot, and all the rest ef it, ienobly went his way. The radical "roughs" voted all day, very possibly electing by their votes the one radical Assemblyman, Mr. Riou niCEd, who has tlipped into the city delega tion, and onseuing one Knows not now many noriest votes oi nonest uemocratio oitizens. Will the "blockheads" look into this busi ness ? If they do not, we trust the Demo cratio authorities will do so. Let W. II. B. be pnt into one of General Meade's "sweating boxes" until he exudes the truth and shames Horace Greeley. The Urowl of the Gamblers. AVom the If. T. World. It appears that Mr. Joshua A. Grlswold, who has been fairly beaten as a caudi late on la'.se pretense for the high office of Governor of the State ol New York, is not yet satisfied that "honeBty is the best policy." One of the journals, at least, which have been loudest in trumpeting Mr. Grisnold's "false pretenses" of service to his country in the matter of the monitor which he failed to build la time, theieby causing the loss to the naval service of two noble ships, and of many noble lives of feamen, announces that Mr. Gnswold, in con junction with that pure body ef patriots the "Union League Club," dreams that ho can still get possession ot Air. teuton's uuberna toiial mattress at Albany by putting forward the "false pretense" that he has not been re lected bv the vote of the people of New York. it is not possible to imagine a more flagrant insult to the intelligence and the character of the Empire State. .
