THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

We do not remember any State election

the press of the whole country as that whioh
resulted in the signal Democratic viotory of

Itetmblican journals seem quite tiaanimons.
They are all struck with the pitiful weakness
.to which their party has dwindled in this
8tate. They all confess that it lacks efficient
leaderships that it lacks organization and dia

of the State was never so full of hope, con.fi-

perfect unity; was never , more conscious of
indomitable and victorious strength.
The wild and stupid cry of election frauds
in this city as an explanation of the Solferino
defeat of the Republicans is made ridioulous
;, by the fact that the Democratio party has a
handsome majority outside the city of New
York.' If Manhattan Island had been loosened
' from its foundations, floated oat into the
ocean, and sunk, we should still have elected

' The great gains in the interior are of happy
augury for the future harmony of the party.
. It deprives the city Democracy of the power

.. organization, of the State is no longer ill
balanced and lop-Bided. The Democraoy of
the city and of the interior will hereafter
meet and consult on equal terms, in that
spirit of mutual deference and forbearance
which results from a feeling that neither is
wholly ' dependent on . the' other. The
success of free 1 government requires
wise checks and counterooises: all unre-
' strained power, in whatever hands, tending
more or less to abuse. Even if the profuse
- Republican charges of frauds in the city were
true, the recovered strength of the party in
the rural districts would work a perfeet core.
No Republican can pretend that dishonest
voting is necessary to enable the Democratio
party to carry elections in this city; and when
the party in the interior is strong enough to
' stand alone and outnumber its opponents,

to poll fraudulent votes. , Oar victory in the

Aa between the wisdom and statesmanship of
our State executive and the national execu

nounced its judgment in a manner which is
: not complimentary to General Grant. Under
bis administration, with the vast patronage of
the Federal Government to aid him, the Re
publican party of this State has fallen into
decrepitude and contempt; while under the
, admirable and popular . administration of
i Governor Hoffman, the Democratio party of
the State has risen to a triumphant position

The Democracy of New York are stronger

the Legislature, and the assured possession of

' shall bear our victory in no spirit of assump
tion towards the Democracy of other States.
We shall be glad to have them emulate our
1 example if they find anything in it worthy of
imitation; but when we meet them in a na

our action and policy to their revision, and
be bound by the Joint counsels, ripened
judgment, and collective wisdom of the whole
party.
HIRED WITNESSES.
JTem (JU V. r. Sun.
It is said that one of the witnesses
McFailand trial, an expert, received
' hundred dollars for his testimony.
in the
fifteen
Patent
lawyers and suitors in the United States Dis
triot and Circuit Courts are familiar with the
fact that experts in mechanics and mechani
cal and chemical processes, when called as
witnesses in patent eases, invariably receive
fees, which in part represent the valne of
their knowledge, and In part the worth of
their time. The customary fee of these ex
perts is fifty dollars a day.
We do not like the system which makes
the payment of compensation to witnesses in
a trial at law to depend on arrangement with
a party to the suit. It is not possible to
wholly avoid the relation of hired to hirer
when a witness receives money from prisoner
or prosecution, from plaintiff or defendant,
to testify to the troth of certain controverted
facts. Inevitably he will lean to the side
from which he receives pay. He gets a bene
fit from that sidej and it is not in human
nature to damage it with the whol of the
truth that is in him if he has to tetify against
it nor is it in human nature to hold between
th'fl ormosine sides just and even scalds of
The paid witness inevitably is a
ISbllluuuy,
partisan.
The law in this country offers a sufficiently
perilous remedy for wrongs to property and
persons, without having its methods deterio
rated by engrafting upon them the hiring of
witnesses. As soon as practicable we should
find an escape from this threatening evil by
adopting the new English system of allow
ences. The masters of the several courts in
England are the taxing offioers therein. In
their allowance of costs, the masters are in
variably guided by the eminence, professional
skill, and full employment of the subpoenaed
witnesses. For example, the following fees
per diem are allowed to the different witnesses
who reside in the town in which the case is
tried:- 1
Common laborers f lss
Better sort of Journeymen l'ST
Brokers from fl'TOto 8-TS
Hnperlor officers, army or navy 6-2ft
Physicians ... B-sa
Builders 6-00
Engineers 6-23
And these fees, if the witnesses reside at a
distance from the trial:
Attorneys tlO0
Apothecaries from5'5to 10-50
Surgeons . ..from $5-25 to 15'TB
Physicians i from S.V89 to 1575
Theae'allowances are samples merely of &
scale whioh comprehends all callings and all
ranks to society, and which, is based on the
value of the witness of his time and his
ability to earn money. . The spirit of the rule
may be fully appreciated from the allowance
of extra expenses made to witnesses whose
age or infirmities oblige them to take nurses
with them to the place of trial, or to travel
by private conveyance if they are unable to
endure the journey by publio oonveyanoe.
So, if a woman having an infant is obliged
to take it with her to the place of trial, or if
she is obliged to take with her her baby's
nurse, the taxing offioers allow her the rea
sonable expenses of both child and nurse, and
they enter into the costs of the suit. ,
This rule should be adopted in this coun-.
try, in both criminal and civil cases. The
allowances . to all witnesses should be large
enough to compensate them for the interrup
tion of their business; to experts it should
bear a reasonable proportion to the cost of
their education, or the value of their peculiar
knowledge. .Then it should by statute be
made a felony to accept money from either
side in a trial, as an inducement to testify or
as a reward for evidence.
ENFORCING THE FIFTEENTH AMEND
MENT. ,
From the A'. T. Timet.
Admitting the necessity for legislation to
enforce the equality of rights which the fif
teenth amendment guarantees, it neverthe
less seems desirable . to limit all such legisla
tion to the precise point to be attained.
Judged by this safe and simple rule, the bill
passed by the House, on the reoommendation
of its Judiciary Committee, is preferable to
that adopted by the Senate after long and
acrimonious aeoate. ;
The difficulties to be guarded against are
possibilities wnicn may grow out of the con
dition of society in the Southern States. The
Constitution confers equality in respect of
all the rights of citizenship; but local enact
ments may hereafter be framed to establish
arbitrary tests, from the application of which
colored citizens would unfairly suffer. Or
local functionaries may, by fraudulent or
invidious action, deprive - f reedmen of the
exercise of the . franchise. Or by force
or fraud, by violence or the threat
of violence, colored voters may be
kept from the polls, or may be made
to suffer from the free use of . the ballot,
These are, in the mam, the possible evils
which legislation is required to prevent; and
the merit of the House bill is that it eflects
the contemplated purpose, and there stops.
Thus, it punishes by fine or imprisonment
every officer, municipal, btate, or Federal,
who, by any act of omission or commission,
on any pretext whatever, denies or abridges
the nsht of any citizen to vote "on account
of race, color, or previous condition of servi
tude." It treats as a misdemeanor the use of
force, fraud, or intimidation by any person to
prevent the exercise or the iranohise by
colored citizens on the same conditions that
govern the voting 01 whites. It imposes
penalties on those who, in the enforcement
of local law in respect of assessment, regis
tration, or the like, may neglect or discnmi
nate against colored citizens. And it gives
Circuit Courts of the United States jurisdic
tion of causes of action created by this act,
and Circuit and Distriot Courts of the United
States jurisdiction of the misdemeanors
whioh the aot creates. For more than this,
legislation is not required to provide. .
Cut the Senate bill does provide much
more. It covers with what seems to us need
less elaboration all the points presented in the
House bill, adding a section perhaps not
unnecessarily making it the duty of Federal
officers to take cognizance of all offenses
against the act. Moreover, it authorizes the
President to employ the army or navy to
prevent the violation or enforce the due ex
ecution of the aot. So far well. Seotions 14
and 15 are, however, completely out of place.
They are designed to operate penally against
office holders who are ineligible under the
disability clause of the fourteenth amend
ment an odious provision, which cannot be
too Boon abrogated, and the embodiment of
whioh in a measure professedly framed to
secure an equality of rights, tends to revive
animosities whioh wise and generous men are
trying to forget. Nor is the nineteenth sec
tion a whit more excusable. The time may
come when it will be necessary for Congress
to take cognizance of repeating and other
fraudulent practices at elections; but when
it does come, the legislation should be framed
tipon a broader basis, with a more definite
aim, and in a connection less likely to be
misunderstood.
CHIVALRY AND SHIRT-STUDS.
From (Aa Hi T. Tribune.
If it were not absurd for a mere newspaper
writer to question the discretion of a live
knight, we should be tempted to ask whether
the fifteen gentlemen in fancy clothes who
have been exhibiting themselves in Brooklyn
as amateur circus riders do not copy the rue
ful cavalier who crowned his head with a
barber's basin rather than the doughty oham-
Eions who used to smash skulls with real
attle-axes. The sport of tilting at a ring,
while it is neither so manly as a hurdle
race, nor so useful as a target excursion,
is doubtless a very pretty game in its way
better in many respects than base-ball,
cleaner than quoits, and exempt from emo
tional dangers which beset croquet. We
do not see the connection uetweeu uoing
battle in defense of the innocent, and
catching a little iron circlet on the point
of a make-believe lance; but the Colonel
who presided over the Brooklyn tourney ap-
Earently sees it. for he addressed the motley
eroes in a strain of high-toned exhortation
such as Don Quixote used to employ for the
edification of his gallant squire. "Sir
KDigbts," said the Colonel, "the institution
you propose to revive is over thirteen cen
turies ola. It was iifciierea into existence oy
tie opprebsious of those dark ages in the pi-it
t 1 i
in which the light of civilization began to
struggle into the portals of the breast, but
had not yet reached the temples of the in
tellect. Alter which exhibition of elo
quence on stilts, and a declaration that the
proclivity of tournaments as now conducted
is to "augment tne dignity or human nature
and the sum of human happiness," the ring
was hung up, and the Sir Knights went for it.
We regret that the digmtv of human nature
did not suggest to the dashing horsemen the
propriety of appearing in the ordinary cos
tume oi (Jhratian gentlemen, and avoiding
the somewhat incongruous mixture of - mas
querade tuniCB, white shirts, felt hats, sashes,
and base pantaloons which contributed ! so
much to render the spectacle showy if not
picturesque. It is a small matter, perhaps,
but it would also have been a satisfaction , to
common minds if Eddie Gallaher, instead ' of
calling himself the Knight of Shannondale,
had been content with the respectable patro
nymic by which he is known in his father's
printing office, and if the Knight of the Black
Plume had either adopted a lesa romantic
title, or concealed the humbler appellation of
Jim Walsh, by which he is known at heme.
Sir Iirackenbrough sounds well enougn, per
haps, but Sir Jarboe wont do at all, and "Sir
Dr. U. A. Fox would nave driven i roissari
crazy.
The first prize or tne lists was a nne mare;
the second and third prizes were gold
watches; the fourth prize shade of Ivanhoe
and Cceur de Lion! was a pair of shirt studs.
We should not omit to add that the winner of
the mare has also the privilege of plating
the crown of beauty upon '.'the head of
her whom he esteems beyond all other
women.".: Anybody, therefore, who may be
curious upon the subject of Sir Eddie Galla
her's affections will have an excellent oppor
tunity of aoquiring valuable knowledge with
out the risk of asking impertinent questions.
l'robably tne dignity of human nature will not
be materially advanced by the oeremony, but
that bir kiddie s choice will illustrate . "the
proclivity of tournaments to augment the
sum of human happiness," there can be no
manner of doubt.
THE UNITED ' STATES AS A BENEVO
LENT INSTITUTION.
From tht A'. T. Evening post,
We are not opposed to the annexation of
San Domingo this we think it proper once
more to state. "Do you mean to say that
you refuse to buy my horse?" roared a jockey
to a gentleman in searcn of such an animal,
"No. replied the centleman. "I do not re
fuse I have not Been , your horse, and it
would be unfair to the beast to rejeot him
before I have looked at him." i .
We are not opposed to San Domingo but
surely the manner of pressing this small col
lection of colored semi-barbarians upon us
looks a little like the sharp practice of a horse
jockey. We ask what the horse is good for,,
and are told, 4 'Buy him!" We inquire, "Why
any more horses ?" and the answer comes,
"liuy him ! . We suggest that we have
already horses enough in the stable, and still
we hear only "Buy him, buy him, buy him !"
And besides these publio shouts there oome
whispered suggestions that if we don't buy
the jockey will nave his feelings hurt; that
the horse will starve unless he is quickly
taken into our stable; that the price is email
but the horse seems to be worthless; that
to hesitate is to make ourselves disagreeable
but why may we not be disagreeable in self-
defense 7 is tms government an eleemosy
nary institution ?
lhe last publio news about the treaty re
lates that the millions which the people of
the United States are to pay are to be used to
redeem the foreign and domestio debt of San
Domingo. Now before the Senate agrees to
this, Congress and the people have a right
to know who holds the bonds whioh we are
to pay off; how much did these holders pay
for them; and at what rate are we to redeem
them?
A good many men remember what was
called "Texas scrip." When the unfortunate
Texan republio found itself, after its esta
blishment in 183G, without revenue and with
need for a good deal of money, it paid its
creditors in bonds or scrip. These evidences
of indebtedness bore eight and even ten per
cent, interest; but they were not received
even by the first holders at par, and they
were finally, as Yoakum, the historian of
Texas, relates, bought on the streets for
from three to five cents on the dollar.
Now, when it was thus depreciated this
scrip was purcnased in large quantities by
speculators, who then appeared in Washing
ton, and were the most urgent and voouerous
in demanding the annexation of Texas by the
United States. Our Government assumed
the Texan debt, as it is now proposed we
shall assume the Dominican debt; and it was
very well known at the time that some pa
triotic citizens made handsome fortunes by
the annexation of Texas.
Who owns the San Domingo scrip? Of
course, no one for a moment suspects the
President of conniving at a fraud, if there is
a fraud; it is very well understood that he
has been led into this San Domingo business
by blundering emissaries. But as he urges
the ratification of the treaty, it is his duty to
assist Congress in discovering who are the
owners of San Domingo scrip, and on what
terms, and under what circumstances, they
acquired it.
The tseaty, it is said, secures to the United
States nothing in return for the money pay
ment required. The mines and other valua
bles of tne island have already been granted
to private individuals, and the treaty, we are
told, expressly confirms these grants, we
get nothing, therefore; why should we pay
anything ? If Ban Domingo desires to become
a Diaie in tne union, way suouiu bud uuv, u
we see fit to aocept her, pay her own debt, as
New York and other States do ?
