OUR LATE ELECTION.
From the Jf. Y. lloruUl
A Democratic Legislature, both branches,
with a Democratic Governor in thin State,
simply means a sweeping revolution in the
laws regulating our city and State Govern
merits. The Democrats, sinco the great poli
tical revolution of ls."2, which swept out of
existence the old Whig party, have not se
cured a full possession of this State. They
gained in the general Whig party collapse of
the Governor (Horatio Seymour) and
the Legislature, and so they took full posses
sion at Albany in January, 18.MI. Since that
time they havo secured the Governor twice
Seymour in W' and Hoffman in 1HC8; but
through all the long interval from 185:1 the
Senate, or the Assembly and the Senate, havo
been against them. Consequently they have
never been able to upset the special legisla
tive measures of the Republican party, passed
from time to time under a Republican Legis
lature and Governor sinco 18.i(, and adoptod
mainly to reduce the Democratic majorities
of this corner of the State.
After seventeen years of exclusion from th
control of the State government we may ac
cordingly expect, with the meeting of the
Democratic Legislature next January, backed
by a Democratic Governor, a general over
hauling and repealing of the Republican party
measures aforesaid, which will amount to a
general reconstruction of the government of
this city, and a'reconstrnction, to a great ex
tent, of the laws regulating the affairs of the
State. It has been broadly hinted from variou i
quarters that the Democratic programme in
the new Legislature (which will be engineered
by Tammany Hall and supported by the Gov
ernor) will embrace, first, on national affairs,
the repeal of New York's ratification of the
fifteenth amendment; and, on local affairs:
1. A repeal of the Excise law.
!C A repeal of the Registry law.
!t. A repeal of the law establishing the existing
Metropolitan police system.
4. A repeal of the law creating the present Fire
Department.
n. The abolition of the present Croton Board.
0. The abolition of the present Health Board.
7. A new Immigration system.
These things are to be done away with,
and, under a new city charter, it is said, we
are to have all these and all other depart
ments of the city government made subordi
nate to the Mayor and a Municipal Cabinet
and the two Boards of the City Council. The
Mayor's Cabinet will probably embrace the
chief of each of the new departments to be
created on the licensing of liquor dealers,
etc., on the police, the streets, the piers
and wharves, quarantine affairs, firemen,
Croton water, Central and other parks, gas,
health, etc. etc. This general reconstruction
of our city government will create hundreds
of fat offices, and can be made to cover five
hundred millions of dollars in good fat jobs,
including a new system of piers and wharves,
new city railroads (overhead and under
ground), new streets, new markets, and other
new public institutions.
At all events, tbis great positive gain of the
Legislature gives to the Democrats so firm a
foothold in the possession of the State, and
such abundant means for strengthening their
position, that it is only by the most stupid
blundering that they can lose it. The repeal,
however, of the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment would be a blunder to begin with,
and it would not avail anything; but it i3 pro
bable that the proclamation of the complete
ratification will be made from Washington
before the 1st of January, which will settle
the question and reduce the Northern Demo
cracy to the wise alternative of joining the
Southern Democracy in cultivating the negro
vote.
On our local affairs the schedule of changes
suggested will require a great deal of mighty
nice consideration, especially as the Demo
crats have, with the full power, the whole re
sponsibility in legislative matters. Neverthe
less, we think great changes may be confi
fidently expected in the laws regulating our
city affairs; but whether these changes will
be good or bad whether they will operate to
lighten or increase our taxes, to render more
safe or more in peril the lives and property of
our citizens, to strengtnen tiie party or to
destroy it will depend very much upon the
engineering of Tammany Hall. She may play
her cards so as to control the National Demo
cratic Convention of 187'i, or so as to lose her
prestige and her power in 1870.-
GENERAL GRANT DECLINING TO RUN
AGAIN.
From the A". Y. Sun.
That energetic soldier and statesman,
Major-Generol Hiram Walbridge, made a
speech to the President on Wednesday. It
was in behalf of the recent Louisville Con
vention, and the General committed the blun
der, common in the ignorant, but astonishing
in one so familiar wiih etiquette, of address
jug General Grant as "Your Exoellency." Of
course so old a courtier as Walbridge could
not finish his speech without some great com
pliment, and he gave it the shape of a formal
nomination of General Grant for a second
term. To this attack the President responded
as follows:
' "Ho was very much gratified to recolve snoh a
delegation, representing not only the great commer
cial Interests of the nation, but also the new condi
tion of ait'alrs. The good fellowship which ought to
unite a common brotherhood, and which was so hap
pily inaugurated and invigorated at Louisville, he
hoped would extend and permeate throughout the
rniiro Union until every vestige of bitterness or un
kiiilDPHH should forever be eradicated. He believed
that within a year or two the South would be far
richer and far more prosperous than ever she was
before; and the people have it within their power,
by judicious policy uud wise acts, to advance their
own interests and those of the eutlro country with
marvellous-rapidity. As to his second term, he
could assure (lenerul Walbridge he felt now very
much as he did at West Point In his cadet days,
when he counted every month with eagerness to get
out of his position. He had not sought hi present
position, as everybody knew."
This answer of General Grant shows that
he had not been informed beforehand of the
purpose of Major-General Walbridge to
Bail?bim with a new nomination for the
rreMdency, and that ho was entirely unpre
pared for it. This gives to tho net of General
Walbridge the appearance of a breach of good
manners of so extreme a character that Gene
ral Grant mav possibly 1 vy it up against him
when he comes to choose a now man for the
ilaceiow filled by tho Jlon. Moses 11. Crrin
ueiitbe exact reverse of what General
Wnlbridce intended.
Commonplace politicians will suppose that
tbis refusal of General Grant to run a Booond
time is only a cunning dodge to help him in
nt.tinr the nomination, lint this is not so.
He practises none of these little arts, and
does not say anything that he does not mean.
This refusal, with its almost pathetio weari
ness of spirit, comes no doubt from General
Grant's present uncertainty as to whom to
trust an uncertainty which Walbridge's soft
sawder must, if anything, have intensified.
Hut this titato of mind will hardly be lasting.
With the native good sense of President
Oast, he cannot long remain in doubt as to
who are Lis real friends aud who are only
humbugs and pretenders especially after he
sees how Horace Greeley hvt ran in this
city.
HOFFMAN,
from the X. Y. Tribun.
It is not very likely that the success tho
Democrats have met with in this State will
help in the realization of Hoffman's Presiden
tial desires. Past experience will not permit
us to doubt that the Tammany corruptionists
and plunderers who have obtained control of
the Legislature will find any difficulty in using
it to carry out their nefarious schemes of
public plunder. Having the State administra
tion, as well as the Senate and Assembly, in
their hands, the Democratic party will be
held accountable for the condition of
things at Albany this wintor. If
we could imagine Hoffman taking a
stand, and llohting tho corruptionists
of his party right straight through, we
would bo delighted to oner mm our support
in this course; but if ho shnll show himself to
be tho creature of tho Tammany Ring as
he has done on previous occasions if ho
chooses to ssstain and indorse the frauds
and rascalities which have undoubtedly already
been prepared as the Ring programme for the
winter vf ho intends to identify his interests
with the interests of the men who have made
our Legislature infamous in yoars past he
will be likely to find, before the end of the
next session at Albany, that he has not gained
sufficient strength among the people to make
him any surer than he now is of being the
Democratic President at the close of Grant's
terra.
We will make him one promise, however,
which we may find it profitable to
ponder over during the next two months. We
promise to watch his conduct closely and
vigilantly during the Legislative session, and
to report it correctly and fearlessly to tho
people of all the States of the Union, from
Maine to California. If he bo a party to any
sort of corruption or chicanery, we snail bla
zon the facts and blazon his name in connec
tion with them, so that they will be known
over the continent. If he prove himself to
be a tool of the Ring, we will not scruple to
use plain words in telling it. If
he put his name to plun
dering bills, we shall state the fact
in unmistakable language. If he be found
backing up those who may be caught with
their hands in the poople's pockets, we shall
expose him as well as them in a way that will
leave nobody in doubt as to what we mean.
In any event, whatever be his course, we
shall give him justice; and if he come to the
conclusion that his ambition can best be
served by fighting and frustrating the schemes
of the plunderers and villains of the Ring, we
shall not be hindred in chronicling such evi
dences of the fact as he may give by any con
sideration of their effect upon his Presiden
tial prospects.
THE TRUE WAY TO ENCOURAGE NA
TIVE LNDUSTRIES.
From the X. Y. Thnen.
State fairs and commercial conventions are
becoming much more common than ever they
were before, and we regard the circum
stance as one of the most promising of all
the "signs of the times." The special indus
tries of each district are brought into promi
nence, and the inventor or the ingenious ar
tisan enlarges his opportunities of finding
profitable markets.
The first exhibition which Virginia has
been able to arrange since the war is now
open. It does credit to the enterprise of the
projectors, and will bring money from other
parts into Richmond; for there is not only
Northern competition, but many visitors
from a distance. We are rather sorry to hoar
that some "domestic champagne" is among
the commodities offered for sale, for there
was quite as much of that in the market be
fore as was good for the health of a confiding
public.
The recent convention at Louisville was of
somewhat more extended importance, and
this fact was recognized by General Grant
in the few remarks he made to the delegation
which waited on him. Purely sectional differ
ences were ignored at the convention, and the
President expressed a hope, which he has
done his full part towards rendering a reality,
that this good feeling would "extend and per
meate throughout the entire Union, until
every vestige of bitterness or unkindness
should forever be eradicated." He also
avowed the belief that the South would in a
few years be richer than at any previous time
in ner History, it is quite certain mat ner
own efforts to extend her commerce, and
foster her industries, will do much towards
justifying this anticipation.
One -personal point in tne I'resiuent s re
marks will not surprise our readers, although
the "enlightened Democrats may rejoice
over it:
"As to his second term,- he could assure General
Walbridge he felt now very much as he did at West
l'Oint in Ills cauei days, wncu nu i-uiuueu every
month with engerness to pet out of his position,
lie had not sought his present position, as every
body knew."
The President has done his duty through
evil and good report, and if he is anxious to
be out of office, we may be sure that it is not
because he is tired of serving tho public.
He has received scant courtesy from his po
litical opponents, but the people at large
only think the more highly of him when he
is attacked by the advocates of dishonesty
and repudiation.
THE BYRON STORY FINIS 1
From the X. Y. World.
Mrs. Stowe may as well, we should say,
go to Florida, and there in some sequestered
vale abide. The frequent showing in detail
of the inconsistencies of her story about Lord
Ryron and his sister is now surpassed by the
exhibition of its "colored, amplified inaccu
racy," as a whole, which is made by a writer
in tho last London Quarterly Review. Our
extracts from this writers able summary are
conclusive. They deal with the merits and
the demerits not only of Mrs. Stowe's article,
but of the entire controversy to which it gave
rise, and contain some hitherto unpublished
letters fpom Lady Byron to Mrs. Leigh
letters full of expressions of affection and
confidence, written at tho very period when
Mrs. Stowe would have the world believe
that Lady Byron had already been cognizant
of an incestuous intercourse between her
husband and his sister! The evidence in
troduced, aside from those letters, is alone
sufficient for tho vindication of the poet and
that "Augusta" to whom ho addressed some
of the tenderest, purest passages of his verse;
but, even if wo could go so far as to admit
that Lady Byron ever did, after writing those
letters, toll Mrs. Stowe the tale which the
lutter claims to have received from her, what
kind of a woman must Lady Byrn herself
have been ? The writer of this article in the
London Quarterly does not confine himself
to proving the speciflo charge false; he ad
duces additional proof to refute the incidental
charges -of Byron'i unfeeling or ungenerous
conduct towards his wife, and even cai:ic3 tha
war into Africa (where be may have naturally
enough supposed that Mrs, btowe mjht be
driven by humiliation to emigrate) for the
purpose of drawing a contrast between Lady
Byron as she was and tho Lady Byron por
trayed by Mrs. Stowe. Thus the unseemly
and regrettable scandal started through the
world by an American woman has recoiled not
only Ttpon her own head, but on the head of
the wife for the ostensible sake of whoso
memory, assailed by a mistress, she engaged
in whot we trust will be the last literary ven
ture of its kind for the present century.
