THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS TIIIS ' YEAR. From tht K. T. World. If the Democratic party makes no mistakes in the issues it presents, it may easily elect a majority of the next Congress. The recent election encourages us to hope that we can choose almost the entire delegation from this State. We may entertain the name hope respecting the fifteen Southern States. In the four which hare not been "reconstructed" this result may be regarded as certain; and the reconstructed States will have a liberty of action which they have not enjoyed since the close of the war. The bayonets by which they were overawed in the first elections under their new constitutions have been withdrawn; the Freedmen's Bureau no longer exists as a vast engine for controlling the negro vote; and a little strategy and energy will enable the Demo cratic party of the South to carry almost every Congressional district. The Southern whites always excelled as politicians, and they will probably have no difficulty in managing the new element which has been introduced into their voting population. In the South ern cities, where the negroes can be reached by the Republican electioneering agents, the colored vote may be controlled by the Radi cals and carpet-baggers; but the greater part of the negroes are agricultural laborers, living on plantations, and inaccessible to Radical influence. The ascendancy which be longs to property, intelligence, and social standing ia all on the Democratic side. The mass ot negroes in the Southern States, like the mass of white votes everywhere, will follow political leaders; and if the capable, knowing negroes, who are looked up to by their race, are enlisted on the right side by kindness and persuasion, the flock will follow the bell-wethers. The Democratic party will gain new members in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and all the larger States, and with scattered gains elsewhere, we shall oontrol the next House of Representatives. With no fair a prospect of success, the party should exert all its energy. The Congress which is elected in the middle of a Presidential term has a superadded im portance from the duty that may devolve npon it of electing the next President. If more than two candidates are run, and none of them receives a clear majority of all the electoral votes, the President is chosen by the House of Representatives. Judging from present indications, the Congressional elec tions of this year will be of no importance in that respect. There is no reason for supposing that there will be more than two parties in the next Presidential canvass. There will be no division or bolting in the Democratic party; and the Republican party is not likely to split when its opponents are formidable enough to task its whole strength. When it has little Chance of success if united, neithor of the segments into which it might be cleft could have any hope of a separate triumph. The Republican party has outlived the issues on which it was founded; but it has never theless too many advantages to disband and dissolve. No political party ever acknow ledged that its principles were out of date, until after the people had taught it that les son at an election. The Republicans have a secure hold of the Senate until some time after the next Presidential election; they have a permanent majority of the Supreme Court; and they oontrol the vast patronage of the Federal Government. A party thus intrenched will never disband until after a prostrating defeat in a Presidential election Too strong to disband and not strong enough to split without ruin, the Republican party will present a united front in the next national contest, and the Demooratio party will be equally united. If this expectation be well founded, the next House of Repre sentatives will have nothing to do with the choice of a President; and in this view, the Congressional elections of the coming autumn have no importance. . But they are of the highest consequenoe to the Democratic party as a great preliminary step towards gaining control of the Federal Government. If we choose a majority of the next House, the Presidential election will be virtually decided in advance. The moral effect of such a. victory would be prodigious. It would demonstrate to the people that there was no longer any vitality in the old issues, and that the only remaining bond of union among the Republicans was "the cohesive force of publio plunder." In our judgment, the only thing which can imperil our success would be a consent by the Democratic party to fight over the old battles on the old ground, and thus give the , Republicans the advantage of rallying their Earty anew on the negro question. They ave always found that issue potent enough to stir the passions and rouse the fanaticism of their followers; and there i nothing which they so eagerly court as a plausible pretext for inflaming the publio mind again about the rights of the negro. The Democracy, unless they are willing to remain in a mi nority, must not furnish their opponents with a flail for thrashing over the old straw. The contest must be a very aggressive one, and conducted mainly by assaults on the in capacity and imbecility of the present Re publican Congress. This Congress has done nothing to relieve the country. Our shipping interest has been prostrate since the war, and Congress has taken no steps to restore it. Even Mr. Lynch s futile bill, the only mea aure of pretended relief which has been brought forward, was finally Bhelved on Tues dav. and that great interest, once the pride and boast of the country, the source of its commercial and naval greatness, is left to laneuish out of existence. The tariff has been dawdled over and disoussed for a whole ses sion, and the very bad bill conoooted by Mr, Schenck has been consigned to "the tomb of the Cepuleta." The odious income tax, against which the whole country protests, has not been repealed. There has been a great flourish about refunding the debt at a lower interest; out. it will either result in nothing, or the adoption of a quixotio and chimerical scheme which will be the laughing-stock of sound financiers. On the important subject of the currenoy nothing has been done, or is likelv to be done, by this imbecile Congress The people are discontented and ' impatient, and it would be easy to oust these inoaoables. if we d not permit them to drown criticism by a new hullabaloo on the everlasting rights of the negro. Pray, let us have the good sense to drop mat suojeci out or politics THE REPUBLICAN CRISIS. from the N. T. Timet. The condition and prospects of the Re publican party in this State and city have lately been the subject of much duousaion on the part of friends and enemies. The latter have treated us to many taunts which do not call for much reply, yRr jeJ with, re commendations which are intended to aggra vate the evil they are ostensibly designed to remove. The friends of the party, on the other hand, seem to be at a loss to know what course to take in order to recover that asocn daney which there is some danger of our losing, but which we certainly ought not to have lost for at least fifteen years to come. We bad everything our own way. Never was a party stronger with the nation at large. How, then, does it happen that despondency and demoralization have crept into the Re publican ranks ? In the first place, we are unquestionably suffering from that reaction in public feeling which always follows the close of a great contest. What gave the Republican party strength was the great cause of which it con stituted itself the champion. When that cause was no longer in jeopardy, the excitement of the people cooled down, and many thousands of our supporters ceased to take an interest in what they regarded, and justly, as minor struggles. The leaders of the party ought everywhere to have attempted to counteract this apathy by associating themselves with a new policy which should at least attract the sympathies, if it did not arouse the enthu siasm, of the rank and file. We wanted, for instance, a financial policy such aS was rea sonably likely to be acceptable to the ma jority. It was not impossible to have devised Buch a policy. But what might have been made a source of strength was turned into a source of weakness, and to-day there is no thing worthy to be called a financial policy identified with the party. But it is not only with regard to principles that mistakes have been made. Still more fatal errors have been committed with refer ence to men. The convulsions of the war threw a number of leaders to the surface who were ill-fitted to guide the party to steady and lasting victory. Conservative counsels were made almost an object of abhorrenoe. Men who ventured to offer them were treated with every indignity their motives were misrep resented, their aims maligned, their reputa tions cruelly assailed. They were "read out" of the party, and most of them have since been in political exile. Now there is no party which can safely discard such elements as these. Moderate ideas may be at a discount in a time of tumult, but when the agitation has passed away, the moderate men may, and ought to be, made a tower of strength. At present the party is still trying to get on with out them. The extreme leaders will listen to no suggestions not even on questions of finance. Was not Mr. Dawes threatened with expulsion because he protested against extravagant expenditures, and called for a re duction of taxation? A single section of the party is trying to manage the politics of the State we might almost say of the whole country; and the result we already see before us. Has not this section had a very fair trial? Are we to go on trusting blindly to it, until next Novem ber sees us covered with a disaster which will involve us in disgrace? The injudicious course of the ultra leaders ruined the State Constitutional Convention. The same mis takes would now ruin everything. There is no longer a great exciting cause to lead the people to rally around altxost any leaders. We cannot expect the ordinary citizen to take bo absorbing an interest in the measure for enforcing the fifteenth amendment as he did in the success of the amendment itself. While it was uncertain whether or not the Southern States would accept the results of the war, everybody was disposed to stick closely to the party which had carried that war to a triumphant conclusion. But now there is no uncertainty on the subject. All the States save one are fully "restored," and it is no source of strength to the Republi cans that they still deprive one State of its just privileges. We cannot get any more fire out of the extinct embers. We must have a policy a wise, consistent, broad, and en lightened polioy, and men of conservative opinions, long placed under a ban, must be recalled to assist in carrying it out. Men who possess vast administrative and organiz ing . powers are not easily found. Even if they could be found, their treatment is not quite sure to be of the most generous description. But we can certainly do better than intrust our interests to doctrinaires whose opinions on all great questions are as variable as the wind, and who are more intent upon selfish aims than upon the welfare of a nation or the glory of a great party. Let us have the State Convention called at an early day, and let us see if we cannot onoe more appear before the people with a policy which will command their support, and with men who are capable of inspiring their followers with that earnestness and zeal which can alone achieve memorable results. RIVAL SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROADS. Prom the K. Y. Tribune. The proposition of a railway on the thirty- second parallel of latitude has been before ine pumio in various snapes lor twenty years, and yet the enterprise is still struggling des perately for existence. Then Texas was the only btate of all the uuu region to whose prosperity the completion of the road is of almost vital importance, which gave it the least encouragement. Louisiana was cold because New Orleans was passed by, and Arkansas offended beoause Memphis was aimed at. But so earnest was Texas in its wish to see the line built that its several Legislatures under Rebel and loyal rule affirmed and reaffirmed the grant of lands made to the road in 1856. Cali fornia on the Pacific Coast, desirous of making the port of San Diego the western terminus of the line, chartered and aided the partial construction of another line. The Texas route is the Memphis and El Paso line; the California route ia usually called the San Diego and Fort Yuma road. Of the former more than fifty miles are graded, and twenty-three miles laid with rails. Of the latter we know only that work is in progress. Without doubt the two lines have more or nnished work, larger land grants. and better prospects of being eventually completed man any other Southern 1'aoino railway, xhese two roads are under the con. trol of General John C. Fremont, and he has asked Congress to consolidate, charter, and aid them under me nue of the "Southern Transcontinental Railway." The Senate Committee on the Pacific Rail ways has not only reported adversely to this consolidation, put nas propoBea to authorize an entirely new line, to be called the Texas . , j. w . . a 1 i'acino iiauroaa, with Drancues ana connec tions: and the bill makes large land grants. But the new line has certain gravely objec tionable features ro which we wisn to airaot the special attention of the Gulf States dele cations in Congress. Texas, in the first place, can cive no ad to the new road, because her land grants are vested in the old line. The Senate committee claims other wise, we are aware, but these grants have been repeatedly declared valid in the Texas Legislature, before, during, and sinoe the war. The burden of proof conclusively shows that the right to make grants to other roads over the same route has not reverted as the committee claim, to the State of Texas. . At any rate, such right, if elaimel, will be contested, and the first step of any new company which Congress may charter will carry it deep into litigation, and cripple and retard both enterprises for years. Further, the proposed line is not suoh a one as the South needs. Its eastern terminus will be New Orleans on the Gulf, instead of some Southern port on the Atlantic. It is not to be uniform in gauge with the roads of the Southern system, which, without exoeption, are five feet wide, while the Texas Pacific road gauge is fixed by the bill at four feet eight and a half inches. The evident design of all this is to build up New Orleans by com pelling the "breaking of freight in bulk" at that terminus, and will please none but the Senators from Louisiana and Arkansas. The Memphis and El Paso road, on the other hand, connects at the former city with the Southern system, and has unbroken and direct commu nication with the Atlantic coast through the heart of the Southern States. These facts should teach Congress the need of changing the grade of the Texas Pacifto road, or of de feating the bill altogether. Other facts which we have cited in this and previous articles urge, with equal-force, the economy and im portance of encouraging the partly finished "Southern Transcontinental Road." The bill favoring the latter road is still pending in the Senate, and we hope is soon to be passed. MOVEMENTS OF THE FENIANS A PRO CLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT. From the If. T. Herald. If there is not a veritable Fenian operation against the peace and sovereignty of the New Dominion on foot, there is certainly a great deal of hurrahing in the woods and marching and countermarching in the telegraphic re ports. From Buffalo is reported "great activity during the last forty-eight hours," of "large bodies of drilled veterans," and five car loads of these are reported in a later despatch as moving from Buffalo through Rochester for some point further east, from which it is conjectured they are to approach the frontier. Albany is full of the same ex plosive fellows. They are heard of in Auburn as on the way to Minnesota; Burlington and other points in Vermont Bend word of their movements, and even Boston has a story to tell of the same threatening display. In every case the de spatches agree on one or two poiats first, it is the actual presence of men for some uuusnal purpose that is reported, and no theories or guesses are given, because the men were no where communicative; next, in every instance where the quality of the men is noted they are described as men who were formerly in the United btates volunteer forces. Besides and more conclusive still of the earnest in tent ion 'of these valiant souls to free all of Ireland that can be found on Canadian soil the Government at Washington has received information sufficient to warrant the Presi dent in issuing his proclamation warning the remans of the illegality of their purpose, So long as the proclamation is unacoompa nied by the general movement of United States troops and an indiscriminate arrest of every suspected personage bearing arms however, it will not avail much, and the in vaders, if the necessity occurs and they are discreet, may even be enabled to get into the enemy's country by dodging the troop sent to prevent them. Here, then, is apparently the fact of a J; enian operation fairly before us, and the further fact that the persons in charge are putting forward material that can hold its tongue and stand fire. Speculations of the possibilities of such a movement may, therefore, be well spared, since it will certainly not be many days, perhaps hours, before these teiiows win be heard ot as in more or less bloody collision with soldiers, militiamen, or the police on the other side the lines. From the widely different points at which the movement simultaneously appears, it seems to be intended to throw parties across the frontier in a way to baffle all possible vigi lance on the other side and on this side also, Invasion in this way is easy enough, but the concentration in the enemy's country of these isolated parties may prove to be quite another matter if the Canadian authorities are not stampeded by the first alarm and act at the right moment with discreet energy. If it shall ever happen, however, that two or three thousand of the reckless and resolute rascals who probably make up these parties are concentrated on Canadian soil, under a leader of only average Bkili, we do not see why the world might not be indulged with the spectacle of a real Penian war on a more or less bloody scale. Until the war really comes, however, and in view of the past his tory of 1 enian movements, we are at present only authorized in conclnding that the Fenian treasury is empty, and that the leaders feel convinced that "something must be done" to nil it. OUR NAVY SERVING SPAIN A CUBAN PRIVATEER SAILING FROM ENG LAND. From th K, Y. Sun. The United States Navy, since the incom ing of the present administration, may have been the admiration of foreign nations, but. unless that be its essential object, it has been utterly useless for any good purpose. Admiral lion, after the murder of Wyetn and Spekeman, visited Santiago de Cuba, and obtained a promise from the Governor that no more Americans should be executed in his district without trial. But more Americans were subsequently murdered, and Consul Phillips, reporting the facts, was forced to nee from Santiago for his life. Admiral Poor was sent to inquire into the matter of Consul Phillips' compulsory flight, and was afraid to go ashore with him. It is useless to mince words; these are facts. For the last four months the chief duty of the United States fleet in the West Indies has been to guard the life of an unprincipled traitor in San Domingo, who is endeavoring to enrich himself by selling his country. At the same time, in home waters and since the cessation of ministerial summer cruises, the whole duty of eur navy has been coast-guard dnty in the service of Spain. The climax was reached on Tuesday. The country had long since accepted the fact, of course with indignation, that the Spanish Minister could order our vessels about where he might please. But it was not prepared for the knowledge that this branch of out service onoe our national pride had been placed at the disposal of a private detective force of this city. Such, however, is the unpleasant fact. Mr. Allan Pinkerton has replaced Secre tary Robeson. This smart Spanish employe trumps up a story that a vessel, properly cleared from this port for Port-au-Prinoe, was in reality a Cuban privateer, and at onoe every United States vessel in all the navy yards from here to Maine is furnished him for her capture. His remuneration is probably not dependent on his success; and with such aid at his command, he ought to drive a thriving business. We call his not Secretary Fish's atten tion to the faot that on the 3d instant a well armed and well-manned Cuban privateer cleared from Liverpool, where ahe was built, for Japan, and is now at sea. fcue is a awtf and effective steamer, commanded iy a man well known to New lorkers and to Spaniards.; We bave not heard that the English Govern-' ment has sent any vessels after her, or that Spain has requested them to do so. Here is a chance . for Deteotive Pinkerton. In pursuit of such a prize he could unques tionably rely upon being allowed to use the whole United States navy. bat the country may think of Air. Pinker- ton's great power in our Govornmeat is, of course, another matter. THE DRAMATIC AIR. From the Cincinnati Gruute. The Board of Health has had under con sideration the subject of ventilation in the city prisons. This is proper, for they who go there have no choice, and it seems cruel to add the ' destruction of their health by poisoned air to their other penalty. But we venture to say that there is not a prison in the city whose air it not as sweet as moun tain zephyrs compared with that of our two theatres, the National and Wood's. Either of these places deserve to be abated as dange rous to the publio health. This is no un founded contingency; for in the time of the great Mrs. Siddons, during a season at Dublin in which the theatre was crowded, a very fatal epidemio fever broke out which was by general consent charged to the poisoned air of the theatre. The common practice at these two theatres is to shut the audience up without any open ing for the admission of fresh air, to breathe their own exhalations- over and over. The gas lights alone would consume the vital pro perties of the air in a few minutes. Besides all the repulsive sense of hastiness, physical prostration is the result of sitting out a per formance at either of these theatres under ordinary circumstances. Such hot nights as we have had during the last week do force open some of the windows, but this is done only in such hot weather as makes all resorts unavailing. But- unless the weather is hot, these cannot be opened because of the cold draught upon those who sit near them. And besides, there is no one about these theatres who attends to this, or makes any use of such shabby means of relief as they have, or who thinks he has any concern with the comfort of tho audience. And such windows as they have are allowed to be barred up or become impracticable. In cold weather the hot air from the furnaces is passed in, to be breathed over by hundreds of persons for hours, and consumed by hundreds of gas lights, without any opening for the escape of foulness or the admission of fresh air. One cause of the low state to which dra matio performances have sunk in this city is in this disregard by the managers of the com fort and decency of their theatres. They treat their audiences as if they were enemies whom they desired to punish for attending, by making them as uncomfortable as possible, People accustomed to comfortable apartments and decent air will not attend such theatres except upon some extra attraction, and then once suffices for a season. If this is skillful management of a theatre, then it is a busi ness that requires none of the intelligence that is needed for success in other affairs. It dnves away the respectable part of the com munity, and then reduces its performances to the shabbiest scale upon the plea that the community does not support respectable piayiner. If there is any truth in what every decent person experiences of the need of fresh air to life; if there is any truth in what physi cians ana scientino men tell us of the quan tity of fresh air needed to supplv the con sumption of the lungs, and of the poisonous A ! 11 A t 1 . . - properties oi air mac nas been breathed over. and lmnrecnated with all exhalaUnnn frnni human bodies, these places are most potent generators ot disease, and ought to be abated by the authorities. If the audiences could see all the hastiness that they are compelled to breathe over ana over at these places. they would resent the imposition practised upon them by stopping the performance until the manager had repaired his insulting disregard of their decency and comfort. There is not a respectable citizen that has attended our theatres who will not fully sub scribe to this as a moderate statement of this imposition. But the complaint has often been made in the publio press, and without avail. And bo it will be in this case. The managers will say it is an attacic on their theatres. Per haps they will withdraw their advertisments, Then they will shut up their stinking dens the tighter, both to show their defiance and to have satisfaction out of their audiences. A wealthy manager in this city did this once. and succeeded in keeping an elegant and spa cious theatre a very unwholesome place. But we are telling them of that which ruins their business and makes their theatres disrepu table, and of a thing which can be remedied to a considerable extent by a little inexpen sive attention, ana which, li remedied, will do more to increase their business than a thousand times the expense or effort directed in any other line of attraction. lOfc. 1870. 1870.
