THE DEMOCRACY AND THE TEOrLE. From the Ar. Y. Timex. It is really pitiful to see tho quivering of the once "unterriiioil." Not tho fabled lteg ulna, with his eyelids torn away and his uu curtained eyes exposed to tho noontide, glare of tho Carthageiiiiui win, recoiled more Herwi tiroly than doen now the Domocralio party from the fiery eye of the people. Everywhere it is all the same nothing but shrinking and ovaHion. InHtead of plunging rocklosaly into tho fight as of old, they are all taken up with the thought of avoiding close quarters, and so Hhifting aa to escapo further puninhraont. They would give all tho world to got in a tolling Mow upon tho administration, but on find no point whoro they durat plant themBolves to attempt it. If they try the national dobt, and open ever so shyly upon tho only alternative, repudiation, they prick tho people's honenty and rouse an anger which threatens to annihilate them. They are no better off if they make a bolt at the Presi dent's strict and liberal policy of reconstruc tion, for there again they wound the people's old-fanhioned loyalty and love of order. AVhat makes it all the worse is that they can not Bhuke off thoir old notoriety, and aro sus pected at every glance and turn. Thoir past sins ore still bo fresh in tho recol lection that, by an inevitable law of asso ciation, the people connect therewith all present Democratic motives and designs. Every movement is referred to the lingering disposition of the time when the party prac tically turned against the Government, and sided with traitors. It is felt that tho at tempt to balk reconstruction is all of a pioce with the attempt to balk tho war which saved us from destruction that the temper which opposed tho raising of a dollar is just the temper which would refuse the payment of every dollar that tho spirit which was factiously hostile to tho patriotio devotion of President Lincoln is precisely that which is now engaged in hostility to President Grant. No amount of protestation or sophis tical explanation helps tho matter. All that has been tried to tho litst possibility, and tho only result has been sorer punishment than ever. Tho peoplo s ill not give up thoir old memories. Their old instincts and reason ings will stick. Tho party, after a great deal of vain struggling, has become sensible of the actual caso, and it weighs upon them like a sense of doom. In spite of all their high talk, they know in their hearts that there is no withstanding the force against them. They aro as uompletoly demoralized as wero even tho Kebols in tho last stago of the war. It is needless to say that this cannot last. Tho very vitality of any party is in its strong hopeful spirit. The day that ends decay begins. A spiritless party is a dying party. It lives only to pine, fade, and shrivel, and to drop away by inches into its original ele ments. It may be that outright dissolution will not overtake tho Democratic party for many years to come. But that matters little. The mere formal organization is nothing. When a party cets too weak to bo longer for midable, it ceases to exist for any practical purpose. Without the ability to regain pub lic confidence and its old power having ren dered all retreat to old principles ridiculous, and to old regards impossible, tho Democratic party has actually nothing lelt to live lor The utmost it can do is mischief. CRIME AND INVOLUTION. From. tlie S. T. ZYioutie. The papers of tho opposition in Mexico have excited themselves over tho so-called "legal assassination" of three men charged with the not uncommon conspiracy to rob t conducta of silver and beL'in a revolution Out of nine or ten soldiers found guilty of tho plot these three only wero executod; tho rest were sentenced to imprisonment tor luo which act, viewing the ruthless traditions of Mexico, might bo looked upon as a reason able exercise of forbearance. The opposi tion at the capital fiercely charge upon the government that its threo victims were not fairly tried; but how often has this been notably tho case in a Mexican court? Sus picion goes so far as to hint that tho inculpat ing papers found on tho persons of tho con demned were put there by guiltier persons in official life for what reason it is impossible to fancy, unless it be preposterously said that tho administration fell short of proofs. Here wo have, however, & case of the frown ing weakness of Mexico, her judioial system. This system has all tho worst faulta It is profoundly Becret, it is dreadfully slow, it is provokingly corrupt. Our courts and lawyers may be as bad as some of those in Mexico, but they have not so much in their own hands. In spite of tho excellent project of Minister Mariscul for judicial reform, wo be lieve that the Mexican courts have no juries. A judge and one or two lawyers aro all that aro necessary to a caso. Plantiffs may make their complaints from judge to judgo, and so enter upon a penal round of law tho end of which it is difficult to foresee Tho vilest criminal has been able to claim the legal asylum known as amparo, which is equivalent to our right of appeal, save thut it may bo enjoyed with astounding facility and before a variety of judges. Now, if the opposition of Mexico wero in earnest, it would probably have attacked with might and main tho most infamous etisa of this kind known to recent criino. Major General Benigno Canto, an officer of tho J uarez Government, took out of his bod in August of last year, at Durango, ex-Governor Patoni, late a fellow-prisoner with Ortega, and had him shot in a horrible way. He avowed, when at length provokod to answer, that tho Government had given him reserved orders for the murder. His known hostility to his victim, tho Government's indignant demand for immediate trial, and the shame and mystery of tho event, suppressed any instant charge of complicity against the Gov ernment. But now, after ropoated promises of trial, and after a lapse of a year and a mouth since General Patoni was assassinated, bis murderer remains untried. The Canto rase has passed through. an almost incredible process of postponements. First he was called to the capital to be ejected from his seat as a member ot Congress; tlion ho led time in one of tho courts of tho lanital, marrvincr meanwhile; next he np nail in rhiraiiL'o. where ho declined the itnlinnrv inriwliction. and appealed to a snpe rior court, which annulled the jurisdiction of a lower one and ordered that he bo Bubjocted to militury authority; then a military tribunal took char-'e of him. but. subsequently de claring him incompetent, the affair passed to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, where it now sleeps. ''We have now lost even tho thread of the case," says an administrat ion pnper, willing upon tho Durango authorities to state what condition it is in. But we tuko it thut the stato of the cftso ought to be well known to the Supreme Court to the Secretary of Justice, and to the general administration of Mexico. The government which keeps an army paid, which can com mand the election of a majority of partisans, which can put down insurrections and shoot men at will, surclv nnssnsnnn the means of expediting justice in tho case of one of its own officers. Tho late executions make for it a dilemma from the logio of which it can hardly escape; and if it be right to kill three men, who, it is chargod, wero not fairly tried, and not certainly guilty, surely there is a chance to visit justice upon a ninui fest murderor, accused of his crimo by tho Government itself, and for a year and more without trial. The official silence under which the Canto case has boon allowed to consume patience is shamefully lamentable; the suspicion to which it tempts, in want of a prompt vindication from the accusod Govern ment, is simply horrible. Secrecy in such a caso may be a blundor worso than a crime, and postponement a tampering with revolu tion. If the Mexicans are excitedly suspicious beyond their unhappy wont, we may guess the reason, and on all accounts we hone that the Government and people of Mexico inov hn able to vindicate themselves. . THE ELECTIONS. From the A'. Y. WorUL The contest has been so oloso in ronnsvl- vania and Ohio that the result in both States is somewhat doubtful, and nothing short of the full official returns soems likly to put it entirely beyond dispute. If the Republicans have carried one of those States, or both, it is by majorities so slight as to make even their success a source of discouragement and humiliation. Considering how large their majorities in those States were last year, and how very small they must be this year, if they have carried the States at all, they have reason to awn tnemseives now many such victories they can stand and escape total annihilation ? General Grant's majority in Pennsylvania was 18,808, and in Ohio, 40,017. And now, if his party is not beaten in both States, it has es caped "by tno skin ot its teeth. lne enormous patronage of the Federal Government is a potent influence in all elec tions, and that influence has been wieldod by the Republicans. If neither party had been aided by it, nobody can doubt that Ohio and Pennsylvania would have been carried by the Democrats, on Tuesday, by handsome majo rities. But if the 1 ederal patronage had been on the Democratic side, as it was on tho Republican side, tho Democratic majorities would navo been prodigious and triumphant. It would be preposterous for General Grant to claim these elections as an endorsement of his administration. Last fall, before ho had been tried, whon tho people expressed thoir hopes and anticipations, his majorities in Pennsylvania and Ohio were such as he could reasonably be proud of. But this year, after a brief trial of his administration, tho great flush of confidence has so far abated, that nothing but the patronage ho wields lias saved him from a heavy rebuke. I ho great maiori ties by which he was elected have been very nearly it not quite enaced. These elections have decided the fate of the fifteenth amendment the leading mea sure of the Republican party. Pennsylvania having already ratified tho amendmont, tho result in that State could have no effect on its success. But the election of a Democratic House in Ohio extinguishes any chance of ratification of tho amendment in that State; and so many States aro wanting to mako up tho requisite three-fourths, that tho Republi cans can no longer entertain any hope of car rying the amendment. These elections, even if there has been a small majority against us, illustrate tho in domitable energy, pluck, and hopefulness of the Democratic party. Though badly beaten in the Presidential election, tho party was not demoralized. It "bates no jot of heart or hope." So far from being cowed or discou raged, it entered into tho contest this year with unsubdued vigor and spirit, and nothing but tho Federal patronage prevented its win ning a great victory over its opponents. A party which rises after defeat with such irre pressible elasticity, and ia the very next con test reduces adverse majorities of thirty or forty thousand to almost nothing, may feel a reasonable pride in its strength, and unfalter ing confidence in its destiny. If the comparative strength of the Repub licans is as much reduced in New York as it has been in Pennsylvania and Ohio, the Democratic party will carry tho Stato next month by at least a hundred thousand, ma jority. THE FIGHTING IN SPAIN. r . r tr tt u The stubborn .struggle that tho ravnH,!1 Spanish people have uUifle ud "re still making in Roveral of the provinces indicates that the real revolution tne real movement of the people to cast away a tyrannical domination has at last broken out. No doubt the fact that this movement was just beneath the surface was of great assistance to the oligarchs of the army and the navy when they drove out tho 15ourbon dynasty. No doubt, also, a great part of the power of those men before the country was derived from the supposition that they were ready to identify themselves with the will and purpose of the people in their aspiration to bo free. I5ut tho nation has finally discovered that Prim, Serrano, and the rest only desired to change places with tho persons that surrounded the liourbon throne, and now it addresses itself to the labor of driving them out, just as their predecessors in the abuse of power were driven out. It begins well, for wo cannot trust the stories of the suppression of revolt that we get every day. Those stories come by way of Madrid or Paris in every case, and in both cities the statement of news is distoi ted to the disad vantage of tho strug gling people. Indeed, the very fact that tho world has beeu permitted to hear at all of the uprising indicates that it is well nigh beyond the power of the government to control it. An important point in regard to it lies in tho consideration of what tho conduct of the army will be. In tho caso of a French revolution we might almost calculate tho duto at which the soldiers would fraternize with the pooplo, for it has always been the case in every French uprising that so soon as its proportions indi cated thut it wns an expression of the genoral impulse of the nation, the soldiers would not tight against it. Hut then in France the army is so directly derived from the truo body of tho pooplo,tmd iu sympathy with the popu lar mind, that it could not well be otherwise.' In Spam, on tho contrary, the army is an in stitution quite apart, and not inspired by or in sympathy with the general thought and feeling of the muss. This fact would much retard and may altogether prevent tho influ ence upon tho soldiers of the acts of the peo laU eople; yet we cannot believe but sooner or er the army will feel what it is that it is lighting against, and will refuse obedience to tho orders of its ambitious leaders. Tho moment it does so tho republio is secure. The U'KC,eii(leiiu of lh'iiry Vowle, of Huston, luive a wt ot clM-Hxim-ii prerifiitcil to liuu by LouiH I'liilppe, Wliile U'clil!i( t'leuch iu 1710. I.ITDP.ATURP. REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have re ceived "Our Toor Girl: the Story of Thou sands," by Wirt Sikos. This is an amplification of tho story of "Susy Garland" that appoared some time since in the columns of HcartJi anl Home, combinod with other sketches that Mr. Sikos is desirous of having proaorved i a more permanent shape than they could be ia the columns of a daily or weekly journal. Whether his readors will share his solioitude on this subject is at least open to question. We aro informod that tho story of "Susy Garland" was written in tho railroad cars, or wherever the writer could find opportunity while travelling, and on glancing over it wo find no reason to dombt the author's assortion on this point. It is badly imagined, badly constructed, and badly written, and indeed the whole book is about as weak an affair aa has recently come tinder our notice. It is a sorios of sketches of low life im New York, and as local reprints in tho columns of a daily newspaper some of them might pass muster; but whon pre sented to the public in their presont shape, we have a right to ask for bettor workmanship. Mr. Sikes may bo a very good local reporter, but he is a very bad book-maker, and he is apparently deficient in the common sense with which most reporters are gifted, or he would not imagino that his Bcribblings could possibly interest any intelligent readers after they had once passed under survey ia the columns of a newspaper. Tho same house Bend ns "Hester Strong's Life-work," by Mrs. S. A. Southworth, an en tertaining domestic story of New England life. Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfingor send us "The Early History of the Falls of Schuyl kill, Manayunk, Schuylkill and Lohigh Navi gation Companies, Fairmount Water Works, etc.," by Charles V. Hagner. This work is tho substance of two lectures delivored by Mr. Hagner in the year 18." at Manayunk and the Falls of Schuylkill, and it contains many interesting reminiscences of those localities. It is a valuable contribution to our local his tory, and it will certainly find a largo num ber of appreciative readors. From T. B. Peterson & Brothers wo have received "Major Jones' Courtship," a humor ous work that has achieved a fair amount of popularity. "The Atlantic Almanac" for 1870 pre sents an excellent list of articles in prose and verso, including contributions by E. E. Hall, W. D. Howells, W. M. ThacKeray, Elizabeth S. Phelps, T. W. Higginson, Charles Dickens, Alfred Tennyson, J. R. Lowell, J. T. Trow bridge, William Cullen Bryant, and other first-class writers. Tho illustrations are gene rally good, but the frontispiece, after a pic ture by J. G. Brown, is an atrociously bad spocimon of color printing; and "Shad Fish ing," from a picture by Samuel Colman, is scarcely better. From T. Ellwood Zoll wo have received Nos. f7 and 58 of "Zell s Popular Encyclo nedia." which is brought down to tho title 'Cashmore. Turner Brothers it Co. send us Our Bois and Girls for October and Appleton's Journal for the same date, which contains portrait and sketch of Pere Hyaeinthe, a fine Bteel engraving of Lake George from a picture bv J.
