THE ELECTIONS OF 180:).
As a general mle,tho party wliicli triumphs in
R Presidential content is allowed to walk over
the course in the succeeding year, and it only
meets with serious and dangerous opposition
&t the Congressional and Btate elections which
Occur two years subsequent to each grand
quadrennial struggle. After Polk's election
in 1844, the Democracy triumphed in 1845,
Imt in 1840 the gathering storm burst forth,
and "Young Hickory" was speedily confronted
ly a hostile Congress. Taylor, elected in
1848, was not dangerously antagonized in
1819, but in 1850 the Democrats regained
Iheir wonted ascendancy in Congress. Pierce,
elected in 1852 by the electoral vote of all but
five States in the Union, witnessed no serious
diminution of the strength of his party in
1853, but in 1854 the great Know
nothing and Free-soil tornado again des
troyed Democratic dominance in the popular
branch of Congress. Buchanan, elected
in 1850, saw no cause for lamentation in the
election returns of 1857, but in 1858 the anti
Jjecompton movement unseated the Demo
cratic Congressmen in their very strongest
districts, and sent a working anti-Democratio
majority to the House of Representatives.
Lincoln, elected in 1800, was well sustained
in 1801, but in 1802 a number of Republican
districts were captured by the Democratic
party, including the bulk of the old city of
Philadelphia. Andrew Johnson's position
Was peculiar, but to a considerable extent it
Was affected by what seems to be a general
law of American politics, for while he was
Well sustained in 1805, despite the rumors of
kis treachery, in 1800, when the Republicans
Jbecame fully apprised of his designs, they
Bent to the capital the desperately hostile
Congressmen who finally impeached him.
The application of this rule to the present
year is that the Republicans Bhould and will
triumph in all the States in which they were
Successful in 1808, except in those where they
defeat themselves by bad management, un
popular nominees, internal divisions, local
issues, or other exceptional causes. Several
Southern States have been lost already
through the Belfish and disgraceful discords
Of greedy and ambitious Republican poll
ticians. The Wells-Walker fight in Virginia,
Jind the Senter-Stokes quarrel in Tennessee,
gave the Democracy a foothold in those Com
jnonwealths which they could never have
gained by their own inherent strength. The
prohibition movement in Maine had the same
disintegrating tendency, but as the people of
that quarter were not yet ripe for a serious
demonstration, it did not sensibly affect the
completeness of the Republican triumph. A
large percentage of the Democracy absented
themselves from the polls. The excitements
find inducements were not sufficient to draw out
& full vote; and an inherent tendency to give
a fair trial to a new administration made the
Democratic masses slow to respond to the
appeals of their leaders.
In the natural course of events, with equal
good management and equally popular andi
dates on both sides, the Republicans would
triumph in 1809 in all the States in which
they obtained decisive majorities in 1808. If
Packer succeeds in Pennsylvania, or Pendlo
ton in Ohio, their success will be due to supe
rior personal popularity or superior partisan
management, and not to any decisive change
Of popular sentiment; for the moral force of
the overwhelming Republican victory of 1808
Bhould and will secure the re-election of
Geary and Hayes, unless they fail to com
ruand considerably less than the legitimate
Btrength of the party.
As in former times, the national adminis
tration will not be fairly placed on trial until
1870. Disappointed office-seekers and dis
affected partisans oannot fully mature their
plans of opposition until that time, nor can
they strike a blow sufficiently telling to be
Worthy of a vigorous effort until a new Con
gress is to be elected. In that contest, how
ever, all the smouldering fires of discontent
Will burst forth. The Democracy will be
Strengthened, directly or indirectly, by all the
devices that baffled ambition can invent.
Then, and not till tl n, General Grant must
look well to his armor. If it has a weak
joint, his personal and political foes will be
Sure to penetrate it. The army of politicians
Will then start on the war-path, and he can
only shield himself against their damaging
assaults by adopting and pursuing a policy so
satisfactory to the bulk of the people that
they will be ready to rally cheerfully and
enthusiastically in his defense.
MORE ABOUT THE rARDONINO
ro WEB.
Oub article of Tuesday on the abuse of the
pardoning power has elicited several explana
tions and some additional information, to
Which we desire to call the attention of our
readers, with a view of doing justice to all
parties. We have been waited upon by the
Hon. William D. Kelley and Hon. Charles
O'Neill, both of whom assure us that the
names quoted in our lint of the pardon peti
tioners did not belong to them. J udge Kel
ley informs us that he has not signed a pardon
petition for thirteen years, and that was when
he was on the bench, and in a caso the merits
of which he was perfectly familiar with, and
Which fully justified a demand for executive
Clemency. The explanation of this is that
the applicants for pardons are accustemed to
obtain the signatures of obscure persons of
JtliO eiuuo camos as prouiiaoat aion, foe tho,
pnrposo of giving the weight of such names
to the petition.
Mr. O'Neill informs us that ho lirrs never
signed a pardon petition in his life, an I tiwt
the Charles O'Neill who figures in the p r ln
record is the late Receiver of Taxes. We
are very glad to do justice to these gentlo
men, and also to oblige the writer of the fol
lowing communication by publishing it: -
PlIIT.AOKI.riUA, Sept. 22, lSBi.
To the Editor of The Evening Telenraph.
Permit mo to nlil several reasons, on fllo in tho
proper department at llarrlslmrir. Imt not Riven In
your article, "The Pardoning PotvT," 2it insUnt,
for tlie pardons of Nos. 13 (William Knut) an I bo
(.mines ltcinv).
The case of Kraft was fanillinr to nic In all its de
tail and presented the not nnfroiiuent occurrence
of an honest, uprialit man committing criino In a
manner inexplicable to IiIh friends and even to him
self. The oilcnse was undoubtedly his (Irst, and hn
uniform good conduct during more than rinht. yearn
of imprisonment tn the Kn.si.eru Penitentiary Hut il
licit ail acquainted with the case that tie was a pro
per Riilvicct for Executive clemency: hence the
pardon.
Tumm rtellly enlisted In 11 as a drummer boy In
my regiment, and served faithfully until the close of
the Rebellion. Discharged In 1 fi5, not twenty years
of age (at the time of his enlistment, he was scarce
sixteen), without a trade, and out of employment, he
became the dupe of designing men, and having been
maiie drunk, he wiia Induced to entor a house through
a window too small for the Ingress of his larger con
federates, ami was there arrested as a burglar.
May not the gentlemen who, like myself, have
signed petitions for pardons In the above cases, or
in me otner cases iy you quoted, have been actuated
by better motives than a desire "to prind little axe.i,
obtain influence at primary elections, convention, etc-.;"
and do you think It in all respects Just to stigmatize
uu wnose names you puolisil as "pardon brofrrnr'
jtespecuuuy yours, 1A)UIS WAGNER.
We had no intention of stigmatiziag al
wnose names appeared in the list of cases
published on Tuesday as "pardon brokers,"
and no such meaning can be deduced from
our language We quoted tho cases as they
stood on the record, and pave tho names as
they appeared.
What we said was:
'We have hero quoted but a small number of the
pardons granted, but thev will be HUlllclent to show
the frivolous character of the reasons assigned, and
the class of men upon whose application tho Gov
ernor was induced to Interfere. Throughout the
whole pardon lint tec find the name of well-kiynon local
and State Politicians, each of whom has hi little axe to
grind, each one of whom expects to obtain influence at
primary elections, conventions, and the polls by using
his influence in matters of thin kind, and tht Gov
ernor vt ready to obliye them because tncy may ao nvn
a qood or evil turn, as he tcins their javor or enmity.
Ve have here laid bare one of the secret wires by
which tho politics of tho State are regulated : and
the spectacle Is edifying, If not altogether agree
able."
During the year 1808 Governor Geary
granted one hundred and six pardons; and
prominent among tho names of the petition
ers we find W. W. att, who figures nine
times; Samuel Josephs, four times; James V.
Stokes, six times; John G. Butler, five times;
Thomas M. Marshal, eight times; James
Subers, four times; William B. Mann, five
times; David Foy, five timos; E. W. Davis,
four times; C. F. Ivleckner, five times; and
fully four-fifths of the applicants
are local and State politicians. The
names of well-known merchants and
respectable business men are seen so
rarely that we have a right to believe that
the pardons granted upon their recommenda
tion may hove had some merit, it is very
evident that the applicants for pardons were
strongly convinced that these men had in
fluence with the Governor, and it needs no
argument to snow tnat this influence was
based upon a mutual spirit of accommodation
between the Executive, the members of the
Legislature, and other political wire-pullers
With regard to the cases mentioned by General
Wagner, we know nothing about them, except
that the reasons assigned in the Governor's
report are frivolous and unsatisfactory.
One thing is certain: crimes of all kinds are
alarmingly on the increase, and we demand,
in the name of justice asd for the security
of society, that criminals shall be punished
with the utmost rigor of the law; that when
men are convicted of great offenses, they
shall not be turned loose again to prey
upon tho community; and to give encourage
nient to others to violato the law. We do
mand that pardons shall cease to be granted
for such reasons as that "he is well inten
turned; tnat "lie is repentant; tnat "lie is a
monomaniac on the subject of horse stealing;"
that "his reasons for committing such and
such crimes are inexplicable;" that "he
is respectably connected;" that "he
has a large circle of friends
ana acquaintances wno aosire nis re
lease," and others of like character that figure
in the vast majority of the pardoas granted
uovernor uearys own report, to go no
further, shows that he has not used tho par
doning power with discretion, or in a manner
satisfactory to those who desire that a check
shall be put upon the misdeeds of the crimi
nals who infest the community and make life
and property unsafe. An appeal from politi
cians, many of whose characters are no better
than those of the jail-birds for whom they so
persistently intercede, is generally sufficient
to Bocure tho liberation of men convicted of
Manslaughter, Larceny, Riot, Arson, and other
offenses.
Since tho publication of our article of
Tuesday, a case has been brought to our no
tice which will illustrate our argument against
Governor Geary more forcibly than any we
have yet quoted. The case is that of James
Sanford andJames Demot charged with "car-
rying concealed weapons, "and admitted to bail
in the town of York in 18(i(i. They dinappeared,
and the persons who entered bail for them ap
plied to have the forfeiture of their recog
nizances remitted. We are assured that
there was no letter or recommendation from
the District Attorney, Judge, or jurors, or
any publication of the application, as re
quired by the rules established by Governor
deary himself for the ostensible purpose of
checking abuses in the granting of pardons.
I.ne following correspondence explains the
nature oi tnis case, and we commend it to
the attention of our readers:

these cases should not be remitted, I h ive to say
that I have consulted with the Hon. J. K. Usher,

Hoping you will pardon the length at wliicli I have
addressed you,
1 am, very respectiuuv, your ooeuient servant,
John W. Uittknoeh,
District Attorney, Y'ork County.
We would remark in this connection that
Mr. Bittenger, the District Attorney, i3 a rabid
Democrat, and that, of course, he puts the
matter in as favorable a light as possible for
his own side of the caso. The facts, however,
appear to be well substantiated, and they
have never been denied by Governor Geary
or his advocates.
When Buits were entered on the 10th of
letters patent of Governor Geary were pro
duced, and interposed to prevent the recovery
of the amounts sued for. Stallman and Koons
were both sworn, and it was developed in the
evidence that Stallman received in hand one
thousand dollars, but tnat Koons only re
ceived one hundred. Stallman and Koons
both stated that the amounts received by them
had been appropriated to their own uses,
The jury, on the strength of the letters
patent of the Governor, gave a verdict in
favor of the defendants, and the bail of the
criminals retained their money, while the
criminals themselves remained at large to
carry on their nefarious operations with im
punity.
Governor Geary, at the commencement of
his term of office, proposed to take a deter
mined stand against the abuse of the par
donmg power, and no established a series
of seemingly stringent rules for tne express
purpose of checking abuses. The first of
these rules is:
"No pardons will be granted until notice of the an
plications therefor shall have been given by publica
tion once a week, ior two consecutive weeKs, in a
newspaper printed In the couuty la wliicli tlie con
viction was had."
How often have any of our readers seen
any such notices in the daily papers? If they
appear at all, it is in some obscure sheets
where it is certain that they will not be seen
by any large number of persons; but the pro
babilities are that, in the majority of cases,
they are not published at all. It is useless to
arguo that Governor Geary has pardoned a
less number of criminals than his predeces
sors, for he is as much in fault if he pardons
five or insufficient or improper reasons as if
ho pardoned five hundred. This whole par
doning system has grown to be a frightful
abuse and a direct encouragement to crimi
nals, and there is now demanded a radical
and permanent reform. It has been shown
that it is neither expedient nor safe to trust
the pardoning power longer in the hands of
the Executive, and although a pardon court
might not prove to be immaculate, it would
offer more assurances that the business would
be done in a proper manner, and that the
rings of pardon-brokers would bo broken up
and tho professional politicians deprived of
the influence they now wield in behalf of the
worst off enders.
I THE LAND
TENURE QUESTION IN
ENGLAND.
The disestablishment of the Irish Church, as
was expected, has proved nothing more than
a sop to the Cerberus of reform. The blun
dering obstinacy of the House of Lords, in
refusing to ratify the will of the people on
this subject, except under a very decided
threat that they themselves would be the next
object of attack unless they yielded, suffi
ciently demonstrated the power of the liberals,
and stimulated thorn to nttnek other relics of
barbarism that cling like barnacles to the
English system of government. It was said
at the time of the Irish Church agitation that
the reform of the Irish land tenure system
would be the next great question to be
brought np, and that this would lead to an
inquiry into the English system, and proba
bly produce its overthrow, just as the dises
tablishment of the Irish Church is expected
to be followed ere long by an attempt
to produce a severance of Church and
State in England. It ia admitted
on all sides that the laws relating to the
tenure of lands in Ireland are an even more
prolilio source of discoutent to a majority of
the population than was the Irish Churoh.
Tliat was, to a groat extent, a sontiuieatil
grievance no less onerous on that aceouut,
however but the othor is n oront and note'lt
wrong, that has forced millions of tho Irish
people to leave their native land for America,
conveying with them au undying hatred of
England, and it has been tho inpiring ciuso
of all, or nearly all, the insurrections, murders,
and other outrages that have disgraced both
Ireland and England ever since the green isle
has been a British province. That a read
justment of the Irish land tenures on a basis
that will relieve the pooplo who till the ground
from tho tyranny of irresponsible agents of
absentee landlords will lie shortly attempted,
probably at the next session of 1'arliiiuinnt,
there can be no doubt; and the task will be
found one attended with far more sjrion1
difficulties than the disestablishment of the
Irish Church. That some measure of reform
will be brought about before long we do uot
doubt; nnd with the wedge once entered, a
thorough reorganization of the land tenure
system will only be a question of time.
Of even more consequence than the discus
sion of this question with regard to Ireland,
is the ncitation which has commenced in
England on the subject of land tenure re
forms. . The political leaders see this looming
up in the not far .distant future as a formid
able antagonist to the whole time-honored
English system. Journals that a few years
ago would have scouted the idea of any
change in the old feudal tenures, are now dis
cussing the Btibject in a cautious and non
committal manner that shows how great have
been the influences secretly at work of late.
The law of primogeniture may almost be
said to be the corner-stone of the English
Constitution, and it is impossible to estimate
truly at this time the consequences of its ab
rogation. The immediate effect might not be
disturbing, but in the course of a generation
or two it would change in the most radical
manner the whole social and political system.
Under this law the land of the kingdom has
gradually been absorbed into a few hands,
and the people are now inquiring more earn
estly than ever before, whether they have no
rights in the soil which are superior to any
human laws. There is very little danger that
any agrarian theories will be brought to bear
on this question, but the signs of the times
indicate that the law of primogeniture will
follow in the wake of other abandoned abuses,
and that every Englishman will be given an
opportunity to become the solo owner of a
portion of his native land. This is the kind
of a reform that is needed, and the evils of
the old f eudal system have now grown to such
a magnitude that they cannot be much longer
endured. Organizations are being formed in
various parts of the kingdom to agitate this
question, and to press upon the Government
the claims of the people, and the necessity for
doing something for their relief.
The law of primogeniture will not be over
thrown without a mighty struggle. Tho
landed gentry are still the rulers of the coun
try, and are likely to be for many years to
come. Such a measure as this, would touch
their interests and their prejudices in the
most vital point, and the opposition which
they have made to every reform project would,
in this case, be intensified with tenfold bitter
ness. The reform bill of last year, however,
by enlarging the suffrage, gave the lower and
middle classes a foothold of power which they
will not fail to take advantage of to make
further demands, and the impending struggle
is one that, throughout all its phases oi pro-
tress, will be watched with intense interest

CHAMPION SAFES,
PuiLADRi.pniA, August 2T, 1369.
Messrs. Farkil, Uekkiko & Co.
Gentlemen: In the year 1S50 1 unfortunately was
In business In tho Artisan Building, which was de
stroyed by fire on the loth of April. I had then in
use what I supposed was a Fire-Proof Safe, but upon
opening It I found everything destroyed, and fire
burning therein.
You will recollect, gentlemen, there was several
of your Safes In that lire, also several In the lire at
Sixth and Commerce streets, the next May, five
weeks afterwards, all of which upon being opened
proved they were lire-proof Indeed, for I witnessed
the opening of the most of them, and In every case
the contents were preserved, while Safes of other
makers were partially or entirely destroyed. I at
once concluded to have something that I could de
pend upon, and purchased one of your Safes.
The safe I purchased of you at that time was sub
jected to a white heat (which was witnessed by sev
eral gentlemen that reside In the neighborhood) at
the destruction of my Marble Puper factory, 921
Wallace street, ou the afternoon and evening of the
S4tliinst, After digging the safo from the ruins,
and opening It this morning, I was much pleased 'to
And everything, consisting of books, papers, money
and silverware, all right. I shall want another of
your safes as soon as I can get a place to continue
mv business In. I could not rest contented with any
other make of safes.
