MONDAT, JULY 19, 1809.
THE ELECTIONS IN THE SOUTH.
Ti Virginia election and the impending con
tents in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Texas
bare arousod an unusual degree of attention.
The Nomocracy was bo thoroughly routed in
the last Presidential campaign that politics
had lost the zest produced by an earnest and
doubtful struggle, and tlio Itepublicans were
repoBing in the confident belief that thoir
supremacy could not be Hcriously questioned.
Iu the midst of this calm, however, Virginia,
the old stronghold of Democracy, revives the
drooping spirits of tho faithful; and aftor a
long withdrawal from the arena of American
politics, her return is signalized by a new
illustration of the astutenuss of her Demo
cratic politicians. The root of their partial
triumph is to be found in Republican mis
management and disaffection. Governor
Veils, the regular ltepub licau nominee, had
caused great dissatisfaction among the ad
herent of his own pnrty by his administra
tion as Military Governor.
We are not sufficiently familiar with tho
dotails of Virginia politics to know whether ho
or his Republican enemies are mont to blame,
but certain it is that he was bitterly antago
nized by many of the leading Republicans of
the State. They opposed his nomination
originally, and their opposition did not ceaso
with tho action of tho convention. If the
Democrats had followed their usual policy of
supporting an avowed adherent of their or
ganization, the Republican dissensions might
have been speedily healod. But they had too
much at stake to run the risk of an open ad
vocacy of Democratic doctrines, and they
therefore marshalled thoir forces in support
of a candidate who was selected by such men
as Ilunnicutt, tho original champion of nogro
suffrage in Virginia, and supported by many
of the most active opponents of the old line
Democracy. It is true that the regular Re
publican nominee has been defeated, but it is
equally clear that the secessionists of tho
State did not dare to put a candidate in tho
field; and the proved partisans who in
fonner times spurned all combinations and
coalitions, fall into line at the tail end of an
organization led by a New York carpet-bagger
who has pledged himself to sustain tho policy
of the administration.
This humiliating example is being followed
by tho Democracy in other Southern States.
In Tennessee, as in Virginia, they do not
venture to nominate a candidate of their own.
The contest is between Stokes and Sonter,
two avowed Republicans, who each number
white and black members of the Republican
party among their adherents. Sontor's elec
tion is advocated by Farson Brownlow, the
pioneer radical of the State, and also by Andy
Johnson, and these notorious politicians are
at this moment as closely allied in State poli
tics as they wore at the commencement of the
war.
In Texas the Democracy have rallied under
the banner of no less a personage than A. J.
Hamilton, who was the most active and elo
quent advocate of negro suffrage in the con
vention of Southern loyalists which was held
in this city in 1SGG, and tho leader of radical
ism in the Lone Star.
In Mississippi the conservatives and tho
Democracy have nominated as their guberna
torial candidate Judge Dent, who is tho brother-in-law
of General Grant.
All theso movements seem to be inspired
by the conviction that an open struggle for
the success of Democratic candidates is hope
less, and that the only remaining resource of
that organization, in the States named, is to
render aid to one of the wings of Republican
ism, in the hope that incidental advantages
may be derived from this policy. Instead of
trying to enjoy a full feast, the Democracy
will bo content, in their old strongholds, with
a few crumbs dropped from the table.
It is a part of this movement to deceive tho
negroes on the one hand, and to force them
into the conservative ranks by proscription
on the other. They are invited to vote for
fluch men as Walker, Senter, and Hamilton,
on the ground that they were early and con
sistent champions of colored suffrage: and
when persuasion fails, they are threatened with
a discharge from their present industrial posi
tions, jno pains are spared to distort the
issues involved, and the arrogant slaveholders
are ready to stoop to any moans, however dis
gracelul, that will enable them to deceive or
control the new negro voters. Such victories
are of doubtful value; and the Democracy of
Uio inorth will have little cause for boasting,
u Walkers election in Virginia is to be fol
lowed by the triumph of Senter in Tennessee,
Dent in Mississippi, and Hamilton in Texas.
Northern Republicans may regret that the
party which has so recently been organized
in the South can be so easily divided, and
fear that these divisions are the precursors of
future defeats. Rut the concessions whieh
the Democracy are forced to make should not
be forgotten, and their departure from thoir
ancient landmarks can scarcely fail to douu
ralize their own organization. Reconstruc
tion is at best a bitter pill for Rebel throats
to swallow, and if they find moans fr sugar-
coating it which are not absolutely dangerous
or illegal, this consolation should not be
denied them.
THE MA SSA CI IV SETTS LIQ UOR LA W.
In several of the New England States attempts
have been made at various times to cho;:k the
spread of intemperance by prohibitory liquor
laws of the most stringent character. Not
withstanding the moral as well as legal in
fluences brought to bear by the advocates of
total abstinence, thoir efforts hare not been
crowned with buoccrs, and the liquor drinkors
and Boilers have always managed to prac
tically keep the upper hand. The Maine
Liquor law was & total failure for all prac
tical purposes, as all similar measures have
been. Notwithstanding this fact, the friends
of tho temperance cause have not allowed
thomsolvos to dospair, but in Massachusetts
particularly thoy have carried on a vigorous
war against dram-drinking and selling. At
the last Bossion of tho Legislature they pro
cured tho enactment of a law of unusual
Btringency, which it was hopod would have
the desired effect of reducing the liquor
traffic. The authorities appear to have ex
erted themselves with far more zeal than
was to be expected to carry out tho pro
visions of tho law, in spite of its very
great unpopularity with a large numbor of
citizens, but the result thus far has not been
such as to indicato that any very decided
moral reform will bo accomplished by its
agency. The Bale of liquors at open bars has
to a certain extent been diminished, and largo
quantities of alcoholic fluids have been seized
by the State constable. This has compollod
the dealers and their customers to resort to
various evasive devices, such as tho formation
of drinking clubs, by which they aro enabled
to get around tho law. Tho measure has also
met with the decided oppisition of many in
fluential persons who are iu tho habit of using
spirituous liquors in moderation, who do not
think that they ought to be deprived of the
use of them because some persons abuse
them, and who opposo tho operations of tho
law as unjust and as infringing on their natu
ral liberties.
The fact of tho matter is, that neither in
Massachusetts nor anywhere else can a law
like this be made to operate. Most men who
are not drunkards will admit that, in view of
the evils resulting from tho abuse of intoxi
cating liquors, there ought to be some super
vision of their sale by the legal authorities;
but experience has amply shown that tho
most the law can do is to aid the cause of
moral reform, and not to force it. Such is
the perversity of human nature, that men who
would freely give their influence to the tem
perance cause will oppose it when it appeals
to the law to do hat it is unable to accom
plish by persuasion. It is well enough that
experiments like this should sometimes, "how
ever, have a full trial, if only to demonstrate
their fallacy; and the fact that practically the
law can do little or nothing to check intempe
rance should cHconrago the friends of
the temperance cause to work wore
zealously to do by moral suasion what they
can never do by force. There is no doubt
that tho introduction of an abundant supply
of drinking fountains in our large cities, with
an abundnnce of lif'ht wines and cheap unin-
toxicating beverages, will do more for the
temperance cause than either moral suasion
or legal enactments. The advocates of tem
perance are too often visionary and impracti
cal in their ideas, and consequently they em
barrass themselves by difficulties that need
not exist. The subject is one of great diffi
culty ut the best, and to deal with it at all re
quires rare discrimination and tact, together
with a large sympathy with the weaknesses of
average human nature, and practical measures
of reform are those alone which will accom
plish anything.
THE ADMINISTRATION AND CUBA.
The Cubnn revolution has afforded our Gov
ernment an excellent opportunity to demon
strate its ideas of international law and duty;
and while it will strengthen our position to
wards England with regard to the Alabama
claims, it will also clearly show the advan
tages of pursuing the only correct and states
manlike policy under such circumstances.
The prompt and efficient manner in which the
Government has checked tho Cuban filibus
ters will meet with the cordial endorsement of
all of our citizens who are not carried away by
their passions and prejudices. The course of
the administration in this matter is the more
commendable, as there .is every in
ducement to wink at the illegal
expeditions fitted out in aid of
the Cuban revolutionists. Their cause has
the unanimous Bympathy of the nation, and
that too without any other than the kindest
regards and well-wishes for the prosperity and
welfare of Spain herself. Our position is
vastly different from that of England during
the progress of the slaveholders rebellion,
and there is no analogy between that occur
rence and the Cuban insurrection, as was
pointed out by the Cubans themselves in their
circular issued some months ago, in which
they appealed for the sympathy and aid of
the people of the United States. The heartiest
congratulations were offered to Spain on the
successful consummation of her own revolu
tion, and tho friendly interest in her progress
has never ceased.The advantages of that revo
lution were withheld, however, from the
Cubans, and their attempt to overthrow the
Spanish power in their island is recognized as
a iust revolution against an outrageous
tyranny against an unjust and offensive
government in which they have no voico or
vote. t Their position is identical with that of
the American Colonies when they refused any
longer to submit to tho authority of Groat
untam, only mat tne uuoans nave more per
haps to complain of m tho way of misgovern-
ment and the potty tyranny of Spanish office
holders, than our forefathers had from the
British Government.
ihus lar, however, the Cubans, while thoy
appear to hold their own, have not succeeded
in their object of establishing a permanent
government or expelling the Spaniards to
such an extont that the United States can con
tit f 1,. .1 1 ,
Dinmit.jr nun mopeny recoomze mem: aut
until they do this, any other course than that
aaopieu ny me administration would be set-
ting a precedent that might be a fruitful
seurco ot annoyance to us in the future
'1 hero is no doubt that V resident Grant and
his Cabinet are luliy in accord with the nation
at lurge in sympathizing most heartily with
trie ellorts oi the uuuans 10 gain their inde
pendence: and, in view of unanimity of fool
nig iu tho matter, his determination to have
the laws strictly enforced is a praiseworthy
indication that he is adhering to the line of
duty which he marked out for himself in his
inaugural address.
ANNEXATION OF SAN DOMINGO.
Thfi-b is ft rumor that measures are being
tnken to annex the island of San Domingo to
tie United States, and that responsible per
fons representing tho government of the
island have recently been in Washington to
secure the aid of the administration. The
United States ought to have possession of one
of the large West India islands as a naval
station, and to enable us to command tho Gulf
of Mexico. For this purpose San Domingo
would bo more suitable oven than Cuba; amd
if we can get it without trouble or expense,
and with the consent of its people,
there is no reason why we should not tako it.
The Government of Han Domingo, however,
is a very indefinite term, as it is very often
difficult to toll who its responsible represen
tatives are, or whether it has any government
at all. Up to the present time the people of
tho island have not shown any particular de
sire to annex themsolvos to the United States;
and tho probabilities are that the persons who
have been attempting to negotiate with Pre
sident Grant are the representatives of a
political faction which is willing to soil out
for a consideration. Whether, in the event of
their completing the bargain, thoir action
would bo ratified by tho people thoy profess
to represent, is question involved in
considerable doubt. At any rate, it
is certain that our Treasury must not bo
depleted of any more millions at the present
time for the purchase of San Domingo or any
other territory, raying off the public debt
and reducing taxation are of far more import
ance just now than naval posts and sugar
plantations in the West Indies. If San
Domingo wishes to como to us, sho cau do so
without expense to either party.

No. 629 Chesnut Btreet, Philadelphia,
Gents: A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night of May 29, 1869, to drill the
Banker's chest received from yon a few menth ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, It la
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
It useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock. The hammering was . heard by parties In the
neighborhood for several hours, but supposing It to
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of your Chest.
That they failed Is another evidence that yonr

The following cases have ocourred under the law at the

THOMAS SOHENCK, of Philadelphia, insured August
17, 1863, under Policy No. 7290, for $1000, giving a loan nots
for one-third of bis premium, and paying the cash part of
his premium quurtorly. He failed to pay the premium
due February 27, 1857, and died April 27, 1867 two months
after tho premium was due and unpaid. Tho whole
amount of tho policy, less the premium duo the Company,
was promptly paid under the law.
ALSO,
A. H. HAMMELL, of Camden, N. J., Insured Septem
ber 11, 18T, under Polioy No. 11,309, for $1000, giving a
loan note for one third of his premium he failed to pay
his premium due March 11, 1868, and died Muy 9, 1869 one
year and a half after his promium was due and unpaid.
The whole amount of his Policy, less the premium due the
Company, was promptly paid under the law, at the Penn
ylvania office, June 19, 1869.
The "Insurance Monitor," of New York, has the follow
ing article in its issue of December 24, 1868 :
Fuix iNStTKANCK. The equity and beneficence of the
Massachusetts statute, whicli makes all life poiioiesgood
for the full term for which insuranco had boon paid the
over-payments of the first years being crodited as upon a
paid-up terra policy, was singularly exeratilitied by a recent
case at New Bedford About five years ago, a citizen of 1
New Bedford effected insurance upon his lifo for $5000.
The premiums were paid regulurly till June, 1867, whon, for
some reason, payments wore discontinued. The assured
recently diod, when the company was notified of the death,
and were asked if the policy was still in force under the
statute of this State regulating tho forfeiture of salt
insurance policies. The reply is that the policy is valid,
and the company, rceognmng the claim, will pay the
widow the amount insured, less tho unpaid premium
and the accrued interest thereon, amounting to about
t350.
