Ulll OCTOBER STATE ELECTION'S-
1I1E CONTEST FOK THE NEXT CON
GRESS. From the K. V. UtraW.
Our October State elections in Pennsylva
nia, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Nebraska come
off to-day. Embracing, as they do, the
choice of a full delegation from these Slates
for the popular branch of the next Congress,
and considering that they will, in all proba
bility, utterruiue the political ascendancy in
that body, and that the Democracy profess to
be (-anguine of initiating in these elections a
political revolution which will open their way
to the next Presidency, the results of these
preliminary skirmishes will be looked for
vith a lively interest, especially by the cal
culating politicians of both parties.
In the present Congress, which expires on
the 4th of March next, there are in the Penn
sylvania House delegation of twenty-four mem
bers sixteen Republicans and eight Demo
crats; in the Ohio delegation of nineteen
members twelve Republicans and seven De
mocrats; in the Indiana delegation of eleven
members six Republicans and live Democrats;
in the Iowa delegation of six membors six
Republicans, and the one member from Ne
braska is a Republican. Total from these
five States in the present House of Represen
tatives, forty-one Republicans and twenty
Democrats. But many of these Republicans
members, on a popular vote in their respective
districts, in ltsGf, ranging from twenty to
thiity thousand, were elected on the small
margin of one, two, or three hundred
majority. When, therefore, it is remem
bered that in the October elections of isr.s,
which were made the test question as
to the election of Qeneral Grant or Horatio
Seymour as President in November, and
that those October rosults were universally
accepted as settling the question, we may
say that the Congressional prospects for the
Democrats in these elections of to-day
appear to bo really encouraging, and particu
larly in Pennsylvania. On a short popular
vote the Democrats in our State elections
always poll a larger proportion of their full
strength than the Republicans. The main
reason for this lies in the fact that while the
strength of the Democrats is in the cities,
towns (not townships), and villages conve
nient to the polls, and is largely composed of
men who have plenty of time to spare for
election purposes, the strength of the Re
publicans is among the farmers, who at this
season of the year can be brought out from
their work to the polls only by some extraor
dinary political pressure in October, such as
that directly involving the issues of a Presi
dential contest.
From 1854, when the Republican party first
came into the field, on the platform of no
further extension of Blavery, down to 1808,
they have had all the advantages of the
popular sentiment of the North on the
slavery question, the war against the Rebel
lion, the abolition of slavery, and the recon
struction of the Rebel States, involving the
thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth auiend-
ments of the National Constitution, abolish
ing and interdicting slavery, and establishing
equal civil and political rights, without dis
tinction of race, color, "or previous condi
tion of servitude." But all these questions
are settled, and there is hardly a Copperhead
to be lonnu who any longer insists that the
reconstruction laws of Congress and the late
amendments made to the Constitution are "un
constitutional, revolutionary, null and void
We find the Democrats now fighting their
battle upon the heavy taxations and expendi
tures ot tne dominant party, upon the tarin
and upon the alleged extravagances, oorrup.
tiona and shortcomings of General Grant's
administration.
In short, the general Issue now between
the Democrats and Republicans is General
Grant's administration. Fortunate is it, too,
for the Republicans that they have Grant's
administration for their platform, identified,
as it i?, w ith retrenchments of expenses, cor
rections of abuses, greatly increased savings
to the Treasury upon greatly reduced sche
dules of taxation, large payments of the na
tionbl debt, general confidence in the public
credit, law and order at home, peace with all
foreign nations, and respect from all quarters
of the globe. But for such an administration,
with Bnch an excellent record as this, the Re
publican party, after having finished the
stupendous revolution commenced against
slavery in Kansas and consummated in the
fifteenth amendment, would naturally have
fallen to pieces, thus clearing the way for a
complete reorganization of parties upon the
new issues t arising from the new order of
things. The party, however, from a great
revolution completed, practically takes the
position of a new party on the platform of
Grant's administration.
Herein lie the continued strength and
solidity of the Republicans as a national
party. They may be shaken and damaged to
some extent in - these October elections, but
the results will hardly shake the established
popularity of General Grant's administration,
or his chances against all comers for the
Presidential succession. To carry the House
of Representatives for the next Congress the
Democrats are zealously striving, because it
will be the gaining of an important branch of
the enemy's intrenchments, looking to the
great battle of 1872, and because it will be
held as a sign of the beginning of a political
revolution. But these elections, half way
between one Presidential battle and another,
seldom possess any great significance. We
apprehend that the issues of suocess upon
which the next Presidency will be decided,
overwhelming all extraneous matters, are too
firmly established in favor of General Grant's
re-election to be disturbed by an opposition
party this fall, which is still without a plat
form and without a candidate as a national
organization.
Nor does there appear much ground for
great Democratic) expectations from these
October elections, looking at the results of
those of September. J. be probabilities are,
notwithstanding, that the Democrats will gain
in to-day s elections a considerable num
ber of Congressmen, because of the local
divisions and general indifference of the
Republicans; but no results are likely to be
obtained calculated to raise a serious doubt of
the re-election of General Grant in 1872
Indeed, we thlBk that a Demooratio House of
Representatives in the interval would rather
strengthen than weaken General Grant in
bunging the Republicans to their sober senses.
as Lincoln was strengthened in 18G 1 by the
adverse elections on a short vote in 1802, and
as Grant was strengthened ia 1808 from the
ReDublican failures of 1807. Whatever the
results, there will be no political revolution
in these half way October elections of 18, j.
; OCTOBER ONCE MORE.
From the A". T. Tribune.
It must be admitted, whatever patriotio
panes the confession may occasion, that, with
the best political institutions in the world,
we have a most untrustworthy climate. The
spring of our poets is the English spring,
and not our cold, dilatory, and, we may even
Bay, sloppy season; our summeis oftenest are
either too hot or too wet; and our winters, if
too cold, are inexpressibly tedious, or, if
"open," not only occasion epidemics, but
compel a premature and not seldom a ruinous
vegetation. One season, however, we have,
reaching from the last of September partly
into November, which is probably as produc
tive of delicious physical sensations as any in
the world. It is & season when, in the early
cool of the morning, we recognize the first
breath of winter, which is yet afar off, and our
fevered frames welcome the invigorating at
mosphere as the lips of travellers in Sahara
greet thankfully the longed-for cup of cold
w ater. Bodily exertion is no longer wearily
oppressive; upon the contrary, there is an ex
hilaration in the air which will not suffer us
to remain quiet. As we stalk post the varie
gated panorama of changing foliage, we begin
to ask ourselves if we too were not destined
for pedestrian exploits and the winning of
prize cups; for ten miles now are easier of
accomplishment than one was under the old
solar radiance. Coming out of the summer
enervated, listless, and ceronically lazy, we
find ourselves suddenly in the possession of
fresh muscular forces, and our enjoyment of
their use seems to be for a time insatiable.
It appears to have been settled oy the
poetf, if we may credit their elegiac writings,
that autumn is a season of sadness and of
unavailing regret. Mr. Bryant, in one of the
most charming of his minor pieces, speaks of
these as "the melancholy days, the saddest of
the year." We persist in Bonding our sighs
after the withered leaf "down floating upon
the blustering gale." It is considered to be
a regular and proper thing to mourn for the
blighted flowers blackening upon their stalks,
and to shed a tear or two for "the last rose
of summer." We suspect that in this minor
mood there is a good deal of conventionality,
and, we may venture to say, a little affecta
tion. Upon a clear October day, with its sky
cloudless from the rise to the set of sun, its
invigorating temperature and its variety of
color, the natural feeling is one of exultation.
Mr. Emerson speaks of a temper when walk
ing, in which he was almost afraid to think
how glad he was. It is thus that the fine
October day, with that brilliancy which,
'under a high temperature, might sink us into
a dreamy indolence, makes every sense so
keen that each moment has its new and sepa
rate pleasure. The animal spirits rather rise
than sink, unless, indeed, we are bent, like
clever boys of fifteen, upon being obstinately
Byromcal: the eye is clear to catch the mag
nificence of the landscape and the glory of
the sunset; the ear grows sharper for rural
sounds as they become fewer; the fruitage is
always a cheering lesson of the recuperative
force of Nature; and the few flowers which
the early frost has spared have a value which
we did not accord to the gay and populous
parterre.
It is in these few weeks of the last genial
month of the year that we are able to exist
without over-consciousness and prepense ex
ertion. All the others are seasons of wrap
pinpr and urwrappirg, of debates as to the
kindling of fires or the opening of windows,
of decisions between housekeeping and going
abroad, of watching the weather-class and ot
cultivating patience when inopportune in
clemencies mar our little prospects. But
October is, in the main, not only a trust
worthy month, but its moderation enables as
to enjoy nature without resolutely preparing
ourselves for it as for a business. The serene
sky, the clear atmosphere, the silver haze
which fringes the woodlands, the imperial
splendor of the Occident, the rustic bustle
of the harvest, the tree bending under
its load of ruddy and glden fruit,
each feature of the landscape, however
minute, greets us 'as we go forth and waits
neither for our scrutiny or. salutation. Our
receptivity becomes boundless just in pro
portion to its quiescence, and the less we
look for the more do our eyes behold. We
are, for a time, released from that constant
care of the body which is incompatible with
calm and complete sensation. Emancipated
alike from the ueoessity of hurry or ot loiter
ing, we can go about leisurely and take what
the beautiful earth oners, without spoiling
the feast by our hungry importunity. W
know well enough that these pleasures, ex
quisite and invigorating as they are, will soon
remain with us only as priceless recollec
tions. There is the dull dreariness of
November, with all its leaden inertia, before
us; but we do not care to anticipate. The
shortening days, replete with a wealth of
solar brightness, are too precious to be
wasted in unavailing ioreuoaings oi tneir
speedy and final flight. It is enough that we
have found the relief which through swelter
ing July and simmering August we criei out
for sincerely and not energetically, only be
cause we had no energy remaining. Once
more we feel our virility and comprehend the
purpose of the muscular system. Once more
we cease to complain that Nature made ns
such sensitive barometers. For all his bluster,
and fretting, and frowning, and freezing, we
can bid the young Winter welcome with a
cheery laugh.
'WHY MONEY IS SCARCE.
From the Chicago Tribune.
There is a plethora of money in New York.
The banks are full, the Sub-Treasury is full,
and the brokers and speculators have more
than they know what to flo with. The rates
of discount are easy and exchange on Europe
is down to par. While this is not true of
VT- V l- il. , . t iira.
now xui&, me case is reversea at me west.
e are short of money; our banks are
drained, and exchange is scarce. There are
several causes for this, but they are mostly
incidental o the fact that we have purchased
as heavily as usual from the East, at undimin
ished cost, while our shipments of exchange
products have been sold at an average redac
tion from last year's prices. The balance
against ns we have bad to make good in cash.
It is a plain operation of natural law. Last
year w exchanged commodities. This year
our productions were only worth, say, ninety
cents on the dollar compared with last year s
prices, and, having purchased a like amount
this year, we have been compelled to pay the
difference in money.
This brings the people of the entire West
to a direct appreciation of tne enect ot our
tariff laws. We raise grain, and provisions
and exchange them for iron, cloth, glass, and
crockery, cotton and woollen goods. The
value of our productions is fixed by the
foreign market. Tba producer can only re
ceive the price paid io Liverpool, less the
cost and charges for transportation. If the
foreign crops be large, our prices recede, and
we must sell at whatever rate rulei during the
season. But when we come to purchase oar
supplies, this rule is reversed. The strong
arm of the law is interposed, and . we are
compelled to pay prices fixed by a tariff.
We Lave no choice of mrkefcj. Tha En ' wh
mc ret ant only buys American grain when
he cannot get other at ' lower rates, and
n'verpays a farthing beyond the price at
whioh other grain is offered him. In buy
ing his bread and provisions, he has the
whole world to choose in, giving, of coarse,
the preference to the countries which take
his products in exchange for theirs. The
result is that he only deals with the United
States upon compulsion, and never when he
can get what he wants elsewhere. But when
we come to buy our iron, cotton and woollen
goods, glass, cutlery, boots, and shoes, the
Government interposes and tells ns we must
do one of two things either buy what we
want at home, paying sixty per cent, more
than we can get the same for elsewhere, or
Eay a fine of sixty per cent, for buying from
uiope. We have been submitting to
this outrage for so many years that
most persons had t settled down in the
belief that it was a fixed policy,
and bo long as prices of bread
stuffs remained unchanged they paid no
special attention to its operation. Bat the
fall in 1 readstuffs brings the case home to
us in the most telling manner. The price of
cotton and woollen goods, of iron, and of all
the necessaries of life which we have to bay,
rttunin fixed by law. While the Englishman
is at liberty to buy, and does buy, all he needs
in' whatever market he can obtain it cheapest,
we have no choice. The Government has a
cordon of officers along the frontier to com
pel ns to buy at prices arbitrarily fixed and
established by law. We produce and Bend to
Cadiz, in Spain, staves and headings to the
value of $1,000 000 annually. The price of
salt in Cadiz is about twelve cents per 100
pounds. This shipment of staves and head
ings would, therefore, purchase in Cadiz as
many hundred pounds of salt as twelve cents
are contained in $1,000,000. But the Gov
ernment interposes and prohibits the ex
change of staves for salt, under a penalty of
eighteen cents, in gold, per 100 pounds. If
the shipper persists in making the exchange,
88 he must do, or bring back his vessel
empty, he must lay aside eighteen cents in
cold to pay the penalty for every twelve
rents be expends in salt, and, instead of
bringing home the value of his staves in
salt, he brings back $400,000 worth of that
' article, and $000,000 in gold to pay the tax
thereon.
Producers of grain and provisions are sub
jected to precisely the same process. We
send grain abroad, and are compelled to tike
such prices as we can obtain. If we send
$1,000,000 worth of breadsluffs to Liver-
pool, we are not permitted to purohase that
amount of cloth or other articles we need, or,
if we do, we must divide our money, so that
for every dollar's worth of goods we buy, we
shall have from sixty to ninety cents in gold
to pay the penalty for making the purchase.
If, as is the case now, the price of breadstuff s
has fallen, say, 20 per cent., then we must
bear the whole loss of the reduction, and
have only $800,000 to purchase gootU and
pay tne tax.
Since 1808, in the short period of two
j ears, the price of breadstuffs has declined 40
per cent. Under the operation of the tariff
we have to produce 40 per cent, more in 1870
to purchase the same quantity of clothing
and hardware that we bought in 1808, or we
must, in addition to our whole crop, forward
40 per cent, in cash. We have reached that
point now. Taking the average needs of our
people, in clothing, furniture, iron, and all
other manufactured goods, to be the same as
in 18G8, it requires 40 per cent, more of our
productions to purchase them now than it
did in 18G8. This 40 cents on the dollar has
to be made good by that much increased
' labor, or that much drawn from previous
savings.
Those who wonder why it is that, with our
increased population and increased produc
tion, we are constantly expending all we
earn, and, in addition, are compelled to en
croach upon our accumulations, will find the
true explanation in the fact that the prices of
all we have to buy are upheld and maintained
by arbitrary enactments; and that we are
compelled to sell what we produce for what
ever we can get. If the barriers which Con
gress has erected against our . trading with
the people who buy our crops were, removed;
if the law which confiscates 00 per cent, of
our earnings to subsidize others were re
pealed, we should find immediate relief, and
the property which is now flowing away from
us would remain in the hands of the rightful
owners. ,
TOE FRENCH FINANCIAL POSITION.
From the S. Y. Times.
Should France be amerced in the sums
computed by German calculators as the cost,
on their side, of the war, the French national
debt must be very largely increased. This
debt, before the war, amounted in our money
to about twenty-six hundred millions pf dol
lars. The Germans say the expense of the
campaign to themselves will come to the
equivalent of one thousand millions of dol
lars more. To France the cost down to the
present time including a reasonable esti
mate for towns and villages bnrned, bridges
blown up, and railways, standing crops, and
other property destroyed must be nearly
double that sum. If we reckon it at fourteen
hundred millions, add the compensation
to be paid to Germany, and add both
to the national debt, we have au aggregate of
five thousand millions of dollars. .This vast
amount exceeds the hugest national burden
known to history. That of Great Britain, at
the worst time, has been far below it. At
present the English debt is less than four
thousnad millions, and this is funded at so
low a rate of interest as to make the pressuie
comparatively light. Besides, Bmall as Eng
land is, her vast colonies have assisted her
immensely in carrying a load declared over
and oer again in past times to be beyond her
strength. France, without colonies of mate
lial productiveness available for such a pur
pose, will be called upon, then, by the adjust
ment proposed, to endure a debt a third
greater than the monstrous
Ed eland in 1814.
obligations of
But even this does not measure the extent
of the French misfortune. The weight of
such a debt might be crushing enough for the
whole Empire in its integrity. It is, how
ever, proposed to inflict it upon a dismem
bered France, a territory diminished by six
departments, and more than three millions of
people. Alsace and Lorraine, including the
Upper and Lower Rhine, the Mease, the
Yot-ges, the Moselle, and the Meurthe would
have no part in sustaining the burden. These
departments nave Deen accustomed to pay
freely in support of their Government. A
correspondent writes of an old Alsatian pea
sant. In his shovel bat, looped up on one side.
and short jacket, expressing bis opinion very
concisely, but with indefini' e iteration, "Who
ever has Hundnbach has me. wnetnerthe
French or the Prussians have Alsace all is one
to me. Whoever has it, the peasant will have
to pay the taxes, which are heavy enough."
Uat tcese Heavy taxes wiu no longer, as pro
posed, go to Paris, but to Berlin. Thus, all
flings considered, France will not only have
the heaviest aebt in the. world to stagger
vreT.'lut rill possess from eig'U to twelve
per cent, fewer shoulders than before to up
hold it.' It is this consideration, apart frem
national pride, which weighs so severely on
MM. Favre, Thiers, and the rest whs have'
been representing the new-born Republic.
To accept such terms would look like, if it
did not positively amount to, destruction.
The Democratio leaders, clearly, dare not
assent to them. Yet no alternative is open
to them but the terrible one of an indefinite
continuation of the war. And it will be a
poor consolation to those who support the
Republics, in the event of continued disaster,
to reflect that King William would probably
giant better terms to the Empire.
The truth is tnat the double penalty of dis
memberment and paying the German ex
penses of the war is more than any Govern
ment dare propose to the French people, if.
indeed, it would not be too heavy for their
strength. It is true that prognostications
about non-ability to bear a given debt are
often disproved, but such precedents hardly
justify indefinite expansion. Many insisted
in 18( 5 that the public liabilities of the
United States could never be redeemed.
Some of our friends of the Democratic
party were loudest in this assertion the
same gentlemen who now urge that we are
payirg the debt too fast. But this prospec
tive debt of France is more than double
what ours was at its highest point, to say
nothing of the difference of area and
onnral rate of populaiive increase, which
establish a still wider contrast in the relative
situations. Besides this, a nation flushed
with victory works faster and better than a
nation humiliated by defeat a consideration
not too sentimental, we conceive, to be
taken into account. A careful survey of all
the features of the case ought, we may sup
pose, to lead the sober-minded Germaas to
rue derate the rigor of demands which from
their point of view may seem just iu them
selves. It is a dangerous thing to exact
either the impossible or that which to aver
age ej es looks like the impossible. To press
for too much sometimes ends in the loss of
all. No nation has ever stood in a more
megnificent' attitude than Germany now
stands with relation to an aggressive enemy;
Her moral superiority will lise to the level of
her physical superiority should she abstain
from imposing on France terms of peace
that may appear impracticable as well as
shameful.
JUDGES IN PHILADELPHIA.
From the X. Y. WwleU
There is one aspect of the Philadelphia
election to-day as to which we 'are
tempted to say a word. Every now and then
flings are thrown from that quarter on what
is mildly described as the corruptibility, if
not corruption, of our New York judiciary.
It is, indeed, rather a favorite theme. Cer
tain it is that, after the exhibition now made
in our sister city, it will not lie i:a the mouths
of radical Republicanism to reproach ns or
anybody. There arc, it seems, three judges
cf important local courts to be chosen to
day by the good people of Philadelphia.
Their tenure w ten years, and tue jurisuic
tion varied and important. The Democrats
have nominated gentlemen of the very high
est character, and seem in the selection to have
felt the serious responsibility resting upon
them, and to have duly considered the great
social interests involved. On the other hand,
as we gather from the press on both sides,
the radical advocacy or apology being very
feeble, the , Republicans seem to be try
ing to see how tar they can venture in defi
ance of public opinion. This is especially
manifest in two of their nominations, the
third being simply insignificant. For the
Common Pleas a court, as we nnderstood
it, of most important functions a gentleman
is named only remarkable for his historic
agency, not many yeats ago, in an effort, by
means of money (avowedly sent for that pur
pose), to elect a well-known quack doctor to
the Senate of the United States, in which
creditable enginery he was thwarted, if we
remember rightly, by the superior skill of an
empiric of a diff erent kind, Mr. Simon
Cameron. Mr. Paxson, Dr. Jayne's
agent, was an active Know-Nothing now
an acrid radical. But this is nothing
alongside of another nomination. The Rad
ical candidate for the District Court is a per
son who, being Solicitor of the City of Phila

after involving himself in all manner of
disastrous and discreditable stock specula
tions, on the 27th of April, 1803 only yester

benefit of the Federal bankrupt law and was
discharged from multitudinous debts. Among
these debts this precious official (a fiercely
"loyal" man, be it observed) returned the
arrears of his income tax during the war to
the United States. Among his creditors
he returned his client the city of Phila
delphia; among his assets 44 exempt" he

THE REPUBLICANS FINDING OUT GEN.
GRANT.
Frem tkt N. Y. Sun.
The Evening rot very properly de
nounces the bad behavior of the President in
making war on Senator Sumner and Senator
Schurz for their opposition to the St. Do
mingo treaty. The J'ost reminds President
Grant of what happened to Andrew Johnson,
who set out with a policy of his own in con
tempt of the party which elected him, and
finished his political career amid the derision
of all parties and without a friend to follow
him to his retirement. It is also true that
while the policy of Johnson related to a sub
ject of great importance and interest, that of
Grant relates toasuojectoi very little mo
ment, and in which no one is concerned ex
cept General Grant himself and a few inmates
of his bouse noid.
This analogy between Andrew Johnson and
U. S. Grant is novel, Due it is not without
truth. Grant is already without a sincere
friend in the party which elected bin. The
leaders of that party feel it to be necessary
to use him for the present, and they desire to
avoid an open breach with him. But if he
continues to conduct himself with the same
absence of common sense and the eame dis
regard of all ol ligations but those to his own
family and to the flatterers who pursue him
for the sake of office, He will in due time be
come as much an objeot of bitter enmity to
the Republican party as was Andrew Johnson
Lined'. All tlftt wu save Liai fij-n UU
will be bis own incompetence, indolence, and
folly.1 Thus he will escape fiom Violent ani
mosity, only by falling into entire contempt.
But whichsoever of these two may be his lot,
be is bound to go out of offios on the 4th of
March, 1873, with' as little: of the respect and
confidence which greeted his inauguration on
the 4th of March, 1800, as is possible.
