J'ROSPECTS OF TIIE DEMOCRACY.
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.
