As the Democratio party secured a majority In both branches of the Legislature of New York, at the recent election, they now pos sess a complete ascendanoy in the most populous State in the Union.' If they had managed theJrcampaign in Pennsylvania with ft little more adroitness and zeal, they would have elected Facker. The unexpected result in this city was thy only thing that saved Geary from defeat, and the majority he re ceived was so small that it is evident that this Commonwealth, instead of being reliably and radically Republican, is debatable ground. In Ohio, the Democratio nominee, Fendleton, notwithstanding the odium by which he was surrounded, was only defeated by a majority of 7fiOO, and in both branches of the Legis lature the balance of power is hold by men elected on an independent or reform ticket, who, by combining their strength, can give the organization to either the Democrats or the Republicans. The popular vote of the two 'parties in the three leading States is nearly equal, but the Democratic majority in New York slightly exceeds the aggregate Republican majorities in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Those results indicate that badly as the Democracy have been defeated they are still not utterly destitute of a hope of 'achieving future national triumphs? If they can follow np their conquest of New York by making a elight reduction in the Republican strength in Pennsylvania and Ohio, they will again be come formidable contestants for the control of the Federal Government. The re-entrance of the Southern States into the fold of the Union affords them an opportunity to gain available strength in their favorite old ro cruiting grounds. The result of this year s elections in Virginia and Tennessee hasshown that even negro suffrage is not a sure bul wark against renewed Democratio ascendancy Botitn of Mason and Dixon's line; and if the Democratio party is to be kept in a per " petual minority, it will become more neces sary than ever for the Northern Republicans, and especially those entrusted with power in rennRvlvania and Ohio, to serve the noonle well and faithfully, and to avoid with the ntmost care any new causes of discontent and dissatisfaction. The Democrats, too, by gaining power in New York, are placed oa , trial, and their action will not only be closely Scrutinized, but it may exercise no little innu- ence in determining whether that party can be trusted with the government of other Commonwealths. Governor Hoffman, who is looming up as a prominent Democratic Pre sidential candidate, modelled and adapted his recent speech at Albany to the peculiar ne cessities of the political situation. He pro mises as a result of the victory of his f ollow- partisans that they will "make the Legisla ture of the State of New York honast;" that they will be "discreet and tolerant;" that they will "deal justly and honorably, "and "promote the interests of the people.". This is not a Jbad platform, and if the Republiaaa leadsrs of Pennsylvania wish to gain strength they must act on similar maxims. They must also strive to make the Legislature of this State honest, and to deal justly and honorably With all its citizens. The American people are eminently praatical, and deeply as they .are inspired with a respect for the patriotism .displayed by the Republicans during the war, . and much as they contemn the treasonable conduct of a large portion of the Democracy, : many thousands of voters are now ready to act hereafter with sole reference to the future rather , than the past, and to sustain and strengthen the organization which labors most earnestly and honestly to promote teform and to'advance the public interests. By good management, strict integrity, and intelligent legislation, Republican ascendancy may be perpetuated in this Commonwealth, but every new display of corruption or im beoility at Harrisburg tends to endarfger this dominance, and the Democratic party can have no more serviceable coadjutors than dis honest or inefficient Republican legislators and officials. The men elected by both parties will materially affect the future politics of the country by their conduct during the next few years, and, for partisan as well as personal reasons, they should be on their best behavior. NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE J N' ENG LAND AND THE UNITED STATES. The brilliant genius who transmits news for the Associated Press by cable from England, under date of Saturday made the following announcement: "The death of Mr. Peabody occurred so late on Thursday evening half past 11 o'clock that the fact could not be widely published until to-day." , This is a fair specimen of the enlightened intelligence that is brought to bear upon the selection of news to send across the Atlantic by the cable. Nobody here cares to know that the English papers did not announce Mr. Peabody 'a death because it occurred too late at night for them to find it out in time for their next morning's issue, and the fact would not be worthy of comment, ex cept as an example of the Associated Press Agent's stupidity, if it was not also a proof of the want of enterprise that is characteristic of the English as compared with the American press, and their slow way of doing business, especially with regard to the publication of important news. The information of Mr. reabody 's death was Bent anrosn the Atlantic on the night that it occurred, and it was an nounced the next morning in all quartors of the American Union, from Maine to Cali fornia. No daily paper in this country would have felt itself justified in withholding such a piece of news from its readers of tho next day because the event occurred at such an hour as half-pant , 11 P. M. . ' Not only did the American papers publish the fact of Mr. Teabody's death, but most of them gave complote, and sometimes very elaborate obituary notices; and The Evkniw Telkgrafh, in addition to a complete biogra phical sketch of over four columns, caused to be engraved, in time for the first edition, n very satisfactory portrait of the deceased phi lanthropist. In England such a performance as this would never be thought of, and the very idea of Buch a thing would make an ave rage British editor's hair to staud on end, and he would exclaim that "the thing is im possible, you know." So far as real utility to the general publio is concerned, the Atlantic cable is essentially an American institution, and we reap its most important benefits. "With an intelligent news agent on the other side of the water, its value would be increased a hundred fold, and with the frequent complaints that are made about the inefficiency of the present agent of the Asso ciated press, it is certainly a matter for sur prise that he is allowed to impose upon the good nature of the press and public of the United States any longer. More than half of his despatches published this morning are taken np with quotations from the obituary notices of Mr. Teabody published by the London papers, and we presume that for the next week or two he will work on this vein until the American public will regret more heartily than ever the death of Mr. Peabody, and wish sincerely that the agent of tho Asso ciated Press in London had been carried off by a visitation of Providence a day or two bo foro the American philanthropist expired. RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PA 11 MENTS. The despatch to the New York. V-hl an nouncing that Secretary Bout well favored a return to specie payments by the 1st of January, which we published on Saturday, is manifestly sensational and incorrect. It is, however, not improbable that nn attempt to resume will be made at no distant period if Congress directly or indirectly sanctions such a policy, but tho earliest time for such action or.n senrccly be before the 1st of July, 1870. It is unreasonable to expect, after the pro tracted suspension, that any Secretary would attempt the vital change contemplated with out giving ample notice to the whole country, and obtaining the consent and co-operation of the immediate representatives of the people. Resumption, to be effective and per manent, must form part of a comprehensive plan, involving tho negotiation of now gold loans, and the establishment' of the national credit on such a basis that the paper promises of the Government will be universally deemed as gocd as gold. It is idle to expect such a plan to be perfected two months hence, and the Secretary will bo fortunate if he pre pares the nation to resume in July, 1870. The New Boaud of State Charities. Governtr Geary ha3 made an excellent selec tion of members of the new Bsard of State Charities. It consists of Hon. G. Dawson Coleman, of Lebanon; Hon. Wilmer Wor thington, of West Chester; F. D. Penniman, cf Pittsburg; John Welsh, of Philadelphia; ;md General Thomas M. Kane, who are all honored citizens. It will be their duty to inspect the charitable and correctional insti tutions of the State, and as their high charac ter should secure a respectful hearing for any recommendations or suggestions they may make, we trust it will be in their power to accomplish much good by systematizing tho various schemes now in existence, and by giving a wise direction to the beneficence of the Commonwealth. m:iiaios axd politics at beverly. The progressive city of Beverly, New Jersey the Bevcrljltes insist on lis being called a city Is now in u Etute of lieultliy excitement and agitation over the election by the Councils of the Rev. Mr. Boyle to the chair of civic state, to till the unexpired term of Mayor Snyder, which extends until April next. The election of Mr. Boyle Is remarkable from the fact that he Is a clergyman, and that he .was chosen by the unanimous votes of both the Republican and Democratic members of Councils. This comblna nailon of circumstances is alono sufficient to create a commotion, but tho excitement Is further Intensi fied by the well-known fact that Sir. Boyle Is a zea lous temperance man, and It is believed that he will use the authority of his new ofllee to put a stop as far as possible to the sale of intoxicating liquids within his bailiwick. There Is a law In Beverly pro hibiting the t rattle in spirituous beverages, but it has been.allowed to remain a dead letter, and the pros pect of having It suddenly enforced In all Us strin gency by tho reverend Major is esteemed by the lovers of hot whlsky-toddy to be a grievance of the II ret magnitude, especially as the winter is approach ing, and the deprivation will be most severely felt during tho cold weather. The regular Imbibers of spirituous compounds feel the election of Mr. Boyle to be a personal wrong done to them Individually, and tUcli'lndlKnatlon (js consequently unbounded. No mercy, however, Is expected from Sir. Boyle, who has been walling for a chuncc like this for some time past, and the probabilities are that blue will super sede red as the fashionable color for noses at Beverly this winter. This airalr is additionally complicated, meroover, from the fact that many members of Mr. lloylo's congregation arc in doubt as to the propriety of a minister of the Gospel occupying a polltlcul oilloe of this kind, and a meeting or the church members is to be held for the purpose of considering the matter. Whether any of tho members of Sir. Boyle's congre gation feel spoclally aggrieved at tho prospective enforcement of the liquor luw,we are unable to state horn porsonul knowledge, but It is undoubtedly true that they are violently oyposed to that gentleman stepping out or his legitimate gphero of duty and "mixing religion with politics. " Beverly Is a pro gressive place, and It loves a first-class sensation. This ha been furnished by tiie election of Mr. Boyle to tho Mayoralty, and thero U a prospect that lively times Iwiil ubouud tliis winter within the corporate limits. OBITrAUV. Krnr-.tilnilrnl Clinrlea Me nrt, r. M. N. Charles Stewart, the oldest otllcer in the Navy of the United States, both in years and ternrty Bervlee, died at his residence In Bordentown, New Jersey, at a quarter past three o'clock on Saturday atteraoon, at the advanced ago of ninety-one years. The de ceased was born of Irish pari-ntago, In this city, on tho asth of July, 1778, a lew mouths after the death of his father, who bad been engaged In the merchant, service. At the age of thirteen lie entered upoo tin- rrofrsion wrUch had descended to him, and be came a cabin boy on a merchant vessel, from which position ho gradually made his way up through all the grades of tho service to that of captain of an East Indlamnn. This latter rank lie attained before ho had com pleted his twentieth year, and having thus fully quHlilfed himself for his long and illustrious public c arecr, he was, on the 9th or March, 1T9S, commis sioned by President John Adams as a Mentenant In the Navy. Ills first service In this capacity was with Commodore John Barry, on the frigate United States, on which vessel he remained for nearly two years, while It was employed in tho West Indies for the protection or .American commerce against French privateers. In July, 1800, he was appointed to the command or the Experiment, a schooner car rjing twelve (tuns, and continued upon the same station. Soon after assuming this command he de manded, and, after some negotiation, scenred tho release of an Impressed American seaman from the British man-of-war Slum, of which case he learnod while his vccsel was at anchor In import's Buy, lt-land ot Dominica. On September 1, 1soo, ho participated his drat regular naval encounter, capturing the French schooner Deux Amis, of eight guns, after an notion which lasted but ten minutes. This was followed soon after by the capture.near the lslnnd of Barbuda, of the French schooner Dlnna, of fourteen guns, after an encounter of almost equal brovlty. A number of American vessels, which had been taken by French privateers, were also recaptured by tho Experiment during this cruise, which terminated In isol, whon the vessel, on Its arrival at Norfolk, Virginia, went out of service, and was sold by the Government. In 102 Lieutenant Stewart mado a short cruise in the frlato Constellation, during which he partici pated in the blockade of Tripoli. He was then placed In command of the brig Siren, one of the vessels Of Commodore Kdward Preble's squadron, and partici pated in the naval operations against Tripoli In the year lsM. Besides taking part in the different at tacks upon the city and its defenses, he co-operated actively with Lieutenant-Commander Stephen Deca tur, Jr., In the destruction of the frigate Philadel phia, which hnd fallen Into the enemy's hands before Commodore Preble assumed command, this event occurring on the ictn of February. For his gallant services in the bombardment of August? he received the thanks of Commodore PreWe In general orders, and during the same year was promoted succes sively to the ranks of Master and Commander. On tho conclusion of peace with Tripoli, Com mander Stewart returned to the United States, in chlcj command of the frigate Constellation, and in 180G was promoted to tho rank of Captain, the high est then known In tho service, For some time after wards, he was on duty at New York, engaged In superintending the construction of gunboats, the building of 257 vessels or this character having been nutliorlzcTby Congress. But this class of vessels was found to be both expensive and iiiefllcient, and the project for their employment was soon aban doned. On the declaration of war against Great Britain In 1S12, the United States Government resolved to withdraw all Its vessels from the ocean, and expend all its energies upon the defense of our harbors, it being feared that If an offensive policy wore adopted the overwhelming naval force of the enemy would soon sweep our comparatively Insignificant fleet from the seas. This contemplated policy was earn estly opposed by Captains Stewart and Balnbrldge, anil they succeeded In persuading the Government to abandon it. The navy was accordingly ordered to proceed to sen. Captain Stewart, in December, 1S12, was ordered to the command of the frigate Constellation, then lying In the harbor of Norfolk, Va. Hut the port was blockaded by a powerful British squadron, and as it was deemed Inexpedient to encounter tho risk of inevitable cap ture by attempting to run tho blockade with the Constellation, Captain Stewart was, in tho summer of 1813, transferred to the command of the frigate Constitution. In this vessel he sailed from Boston, in December following, npon a cruise extending to the coasts of Surinam, Berbleo, Dcmerara, and tho Windward Islands, and resulting in the capture, on the 14th of February, 1814, of tho British vessel of war Plctou, a foartecn-gun schooner, together with a privateer and several merchantmen which she had In convoy. ; In the month of April following, his offensive ope-" radons were interrupted for a short period by the Constitution being chased Into tho port of Marblc head by two British frigates, La Nympho and Junon. But about the middle of December of tho same year the Constitution sailed upon a second cruise, which was even moro successful than tho first. On tho 20th of February, 1815, Captain Stewart fell in with the British shlps-of-war Cyano and Levant, and ono of the most memorable conflicts recorded In the naval history of this country ensued. The Constitu tion mounted 53 guns, and was manned by 470 men. The Cyane, commanded by Captain Falcon, mounted .'(4 guns, with 185 men, and the Levunt, a sloop, under the command of Captain Douglass, had 21 gum and 150 men. While the British vessels, thererore, mounted three guns more than their American an tagonist, the latter had abont 130 men in excess ; but as these were all confined to the one ship, the odds were manifestly . hi favor of the enemy.' At the commencement of tho action, which occurred . . at . night, . the three vessels were drawn np close together, forming nearly au equilateral triangle, with the Constitution to windward. By expert and Judicious manoeuvring, Captain Stewart forced both of the enemy's ships to leeward, raking them badly, while his own vessel avoided such a lire. The encounter lasted forty minutes, and resulted in tho capture of both the Cyane and tho Levant. The loss sustained on board the Constitution was three men killed and twelve wounded, the joint loss of the two British vessels being stated at forty-one, although no official ac count of the battle has ever emanated from British sources. ... Ontheioth of March the Constitution put into Port Praya, in the Capo Verd Islands, with her prizes; but while arrangements were there In pro gress for forwarding tho prisoners to the United States, a British squadron, composed of two llno-of-battle ships and a heavy frlgute, made its appear ance off the port. Captain Stewart had good reason to believe, from the manner in which British naval operations were conducted In thoso days, that the neutrality of the port would not be respected, and ho therefore cut tils cables and put to sea, the two prizes following In the wake if the Constitution. The British squadron mado an active pursuit, and succeeded In recapturing tho Levant, but the Cyano and the Constitution succeeded in eluding their pur suers, the fornierjirriving at New York on April 15 and the latter about a month later. The brilliancy of Captain Stewart's achievements during this last cruise wera duly appreciated and rewarded. Congress voted him ft) gold medal, and a silver one to each of his commissioned officers, besides tendering to hlui and his officers and mon a vote of thanks; the State or Pennslyaula presented him with a gold-hllted sword; and the cities of Philadelphia and New York vied with each other In the presentation or appropriate testimonials. As a souvenir or the famous onoounter with the Cyano and Levant, tho billet-head of the former, a Unoly carved dragon, la still preserved at the Navy Yard In this city, whore the captured vessel lay for many years alter the termination of the wr. While Captain Stewart wag in command or the Constitu tion, that vessel received the popular title or "Old Ironsides," which soubriquet was also applied to her heroic comraaudor, and by It he was generally known to the day or his death, as well us by the honorary although unofficial title or Commodore. From 1610 to 1820 ho held command or the Mediterranean squadron, bis flag being borne by the ship or the line Franklin. In 1821 he was transferred to the Pacific station, with the same vessel for his flagship, remaining in this comuiaud for three years. From ltao to 1S33 he served upon tho Board of Navy CommUaiouers, and subsequently in command of the home squadron and of the uavul station in tills city. During tlds period he also took an active part in peifect'ug the organisation of the navy, submit ting to the bead of tho department several valuable papers iiion this subject. In i?t7, Uie Board appointed, uuder the act cr Congress or January is, or that year, placed him upon tho retired list In conscquonce of his advanced age, winch left them no dis cretion; but In March, 1859, by special act or Con gress, he was again placed upon the active list, with a new commission, and the rank or Senior Flag Officer of the Navy. Again entrusted with the com mand of the Navy Yard in thla city, he was, In 1SG0, relieved at his own request, and took np his resi dence at Bordentown, N. J., after having devoted sixty -two years an unexampled period to the ser vice of his country, nearly twenty-four years of which were passed at sea, and about twenty yoars on shore duty, while during the remainder of his ser vice ho was unemployed. Ills last cruise, whloh ended In November, 1843, terminated a total active .Service, In the navy and merchant marine, cf over fifty-two years. On tho K.th of July, 1302, he was commissioned a Kear-Admlrnl, and placed at tho head of the retired Use or tho Navy, a fitting recogni tion or his long and brilliant Bervlee. At the ontbreak of tho late civil war Admiral Stewart earnestly denounced tho treasonable con spiracy against the flag whose honor he had upheld on so many different seas', and felt seriously ag grieved when active employment was refused him on account of bis advanced years.' He never par ticipated actively In politics, although at different times his name was mentioned In connection with ihe Democratic nomination for tho Presidency, chiefly by the enemies of tho late James Buchanan, who were anxious to secure the leadership of some one around whom they could make a successful stand in this Stafc. At one time ho became engaged in a controversy with John C. Calhoun, during which he i presented tho arguments against tho anarchical policy of the latter with great force, and showed that, although Inclin ing to tho general principles of tho Democratic rnrty, he had no sympathy with the views which ultimately led tho South Inte rebellion. He was on terms of close Intimacy with Joseph Bonaparte, tho ex-Klna of Spain, who, In deference to his advice, took np his resldenco at Bordentown, which he subsequently selected as the place for passing, In entire repose, the evening or his own days. The death or this illustrious naval hero will awaken universal regret thronghout tho country, and especially In this the city of his birth. Personally he was a man of rare accomplishments and great attractions, and his memory will loug remain fresh In tho hearts of his countrymen. SPECIAL NOTICES. CLOTH ING HEADY MADE.
