Without having any deoideil prejudioes in the matter, we must express our convictions that things begin to look rather equally for the Republican!!. They seem to be in a mad die all ever that part of the country where they have heretofore "ruled the roast" ex elaaiTely. Dissensions have arisen in their ranks even at their very heart hstones. The Evening Post of this city assails the high tariff or protection wing of the party with the warmth of a decided opponent. The Tribunt retorts, and the temper of its replies shows that its high protection editor has not recovered from the effeots of his late disastrous defeat for Con gress. Senator Sumner, who ha been the Jupiter Tocans of the party for so long a time, seems to have had another attack of "softening of the brain," ho far, at least, as the support he extends to the administration is concerned. This may be attributed to the treatment his friend Ambassador Motley re ceived, r it may be attributed to some other cause. At any rate it is evident he is not the warm supporter of the administration he onoe was. In many of the Congressional districts in whioh elections have just been held ill temper amounting to rudeness and even to acts of violence have characterized the caucus meetings of the Republicans. And it is safe to say that the bad feeling there engendered has not been mollified by the results of the election. Now, who is responsible for this disruption in the once powerful Republican party ? Where does the fault lie ? The party has been in existence about twenty years, and half of that time it bas held supreme power in the land. By a wise and prudent caurse t might retain the reins of government for two administrations yet to oome. But are the leaders wise enough to udopt that course ? Where are Cameron, Wilson, Logan, Ben But ler, Banks, and all the rest of the board of managers of the Republican party? Have they given up the ghost, or do they hold that the party has gone to the dogs, and that it has not the ghost of a chanoe in the Presidential race in 1872? Are they thinking of eacrifioiDg Orant ? If they are, and attempt it, thoy will make a sad mistake. General Grant has made the best President the Republican party could have had. While crubhing out corruption wherever he found it exisleO, and while cur tailing the expenses of the Government and reducing taxation to the lowest limit, he has been the "mildest mannered man" in the world whenever some pet party projects have come before him for approval or rejection. In the exercise of the veto power he has been especially lenient. Ia short, he has been as serviceable a President for the Republican party as that party has been serviceable in its support of his administration. If the party undertakes to overthrow Grant it will inevitably incur irre parable disaster. Grant himself will then take a band in the melee, and the smash up all round will be beautiful for the Demo crats to witness. Let there be oil poured upon the troubled Republican waters by the inauguration of some bold and striking patri otic measure a measure that will restore the weak and wavering to their fealty or the Republicans may make up their minds for defeat at the next Presidential election, and begin putting their houses in order accord ingly. In the meantime what do we do find the Democrats doing? In what sort of battle array do we find them after the smoke has cleared away from the fields of November 8 ? In answer to these questions we refer our readers to a remarkable tablo published by us ye&ttrday, giving an analysis of the vote at the recent elections, and showing how the electoral colleges will stand in 1872, provided the States named vote then as they have voted already. It will be Been by this table that in thirty-five States the Democrats have one hundred and fifty-four electoral votes, and the Republicans one hundred and forty-eight, or six majority for the Demo crats, with two States (Mississippi and Texas), which will probably be equally balanced, not included. Ihus it will be Been that the Demo crats at this moment have actually with the big State of New York as a sure rallying point tne inside track for a sweeping trlumpn at tne next irresiaentioi election - triumph that cannot possibly be averted ex cept by the restoration of calmness and moderation ana wisdom to the counsels of the Republican party. THE NEXT nOUSE OF REPRESENTA TIVES. From the S. T. Tim. Calculations relating to the political com plexion ef the next House of Representatives possess a general interest, and they may be in some oases approximately correct. Bat it is as yet too early to fix the precise strength of parties, xne returns oi tne reoent eleo tiona are incomplete. From Illiaois, Mis souri, Arkansas, and Florida further informs tion is needed before determining absolutely their Congressional status: and, even when the figures are received, a certain degree of doubt will hang over the positions of some of the members elect. The successful candidates on the Grata Brown ticket in Missouri, for example, being reported as "Liberal ltepub lioans," are classified among the regular Re publicans; although it is obvious that their course when the r orty-seoond Congress as eembles will be materially affected by occur rences in the interval. The same remark ap plies to one or two or tne southern members, Their ultimate affiliations are somewhat oon tingent upon circumstances which do not at present admit of exact estimate. Moreover. in five States the Congressional delegations remain to be eleoted. ueorina, California. Texas, New Hampshire, aad Connecticut are all to be heard from, and in regard to some of them the probabilities are susceptible of not hint? better man guess-work. But though precise results are at present unattainable, enough is known to render cer tain the presence ef an adequate working majority on the Republican side. The esti mates of that majority range from thirty-five to fifty the former being almost the lowest possible figure, and tne general nrosDect indi eating that, with fair success in the elections to be held, the majority will not vary ruuoU from forty-five. It is evident, therefore, that the opposition, however well organized, will not be able to embarrass tne administration, or to impede tne development or tne UepuUl can policy. The country has nothing to fear from the presence of a disciplined opposition whose Increased strength may be expected to carry with it a sense of responsibility that has not of late been apparent in Democratic tactics. We Ehall have in opposition a party Instead of a faolion; the trickery and inconsistency of a factious warfare win probably give place to a definod and an Intelligible programme. Apart, too, irom the change to be hoped for in the general course of the opposition, we cannot aouot that a consciousness of lessened toting power ill impel the majority to husband their strength, and to cultivate the moral power which prooeeds from a right use of opportu nities. To secure nmiy mere must to for bearance, a general tone of moderation, and an avoidance of needless controversies. From these considerations the Republioan f arty may gain much, and can loss nothing, ts majority, ample for all practical purposes, will not be so large that the party ean afford to be indifferent to oamses of internal trouble, whether proceeding from dissensions or rash counsel. The Republican party will still. beyond all doubt, prevail. And we may hope that the policy itself will vindicate the confi dence of the country, and make certain Re publican success in 1872. Upon the President the redaction of the majority will entail greater responsibility than ean exist bo long as Congress is abso lute master of the situation. With the ma jority as it is now, the veto power has existed only in same. A two-thirds majority iu Con gress rendered criticism futile, and Executive correction a mere matter of form. It will bo otherwise in the next Congress. And the fact will impose upon the President a serious duty in the treatment of all matters that come before him for approval. The Admin istration may look for more cardial support than it received last session, and the aotion of Congress will be benefitted, because re strained by the opinions of a President in general harmony with the party out of doors and with the people. A NAVAL rRIZE FIGHT IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. From the K. T. Herald. One of the most inexplicable facts of the present war has been the utter inaotion of both the French and German fleets. The former, created by Louis Philippe and libe rally fostered by Louis Napoleon, was known to be formidable, and the latter may boast of some of the finest iron-olads afloat. Yet scarcely anything has been heard of either since the declaration of war. At leDgtb, however, the long, strange silence has been broken. It was reserved for American waters to be roused by the first thunders of the Franco-German struggle for the mastery of the seas. As the great naval battle of our civil war that of the Alabama and Kearsarge was fought on the eastern verge of the Atlantic, so have the French and German Vikings brought their dispute to its western verge, seeking to emulate in the new world what Americans had achieved in the old. The famous battle between the Serapis and the Bonhomme Richard was the ante type of that between the Kearsarge and the Alabama; but no other similar naval en gagement had since occurred, until the other day the French gunboat Bouvet and the Prus sian gunboat Meteor blazed away at each other lor an hour in the Gulf of Mexico. Both these gunboats entered the port of Ha vana on the 7th inst. The Meteor sailed out again after the departure of the French mail steamer JNouveau Monde, which immediately returned, fearing capture. On the night of Tuesday, the 8th inst., the Bouvet left port, but waited outside for the Meteor, which fol lowed after the expiration of twenty-four nours tne time prescribed by law a naval duel having been previously arranged be tween the officers of the two vessels. The Spanish war uteamer Hernando Cortez also went out, bearing as umpire the Governor General of Cuba. The crew of the Meteor numbered sixty men; that of the Bouvet eighty. The Meteor carried three guns and the Bouvet five. Upon the coming out of the Meteor the Bouvet, which was ten miles beyond the oiling, steamed inward toward the neutral line. The Bouvet opened the contest by firing five shots, which the Meteor promptly returned. The Bouvet then attempted to board the Meteor. In thi she was unsuccessful. Her rigging became en tangled," carrying away her main and mizzen masts. The rigging falling with the masts became entangled with the Meteor s screw. At the same moment the Meteor sent a shell into the inside of the Bouvet, smashing her steam-pipe. 'Ihe Meteor, by reason of the disabling of her screw, became unmanage able, and the Bouvet, finding the quarters hot and capture certain if she waited until the Meteor could disentangle herself, quickly made for .port under, it is said, both steam and sail, the Meteor continuing to fire meanwhile. The Bouvet succeeded in crossing into Spanish waters before the Meteor could disentangle her screw. At this time the llernaudo Cortdz fired a gun as a signal that the combat had closed. The telegram which announoes this sews adds that "both fought bravely. Vic tory was accorded to the German gunboat. whose three guns seem to have been too muoh for the French gunboat's five, thms calling to mind the old English brag that one John Bull was equal to tkree Johnny Crapeaux. Both vessels are sow in the port of Havana, re pairing severe damages, but eager for another fifibt. Ihe Meteor had three men killed, whose funeral the German merchants in Havana all attended, and one man wounded. The Bouvet had three men wounded, and, perhaps, one man killed. The German resi dents were greatly elated, and were arranging a grand banquet for the officers of the Meteor. This unvarnished tale of the battle of the gunboats offers no sensational horrors, There are no scuppers running blood, so magazines exploding and darkening the air with the detached limbs of grilled Prussians and mzzied r renchmen; no shoals of sharks following in the wake of "huge leviathans afloat" to gorge their maws with Gallio or .teutonic tidbits. There is nothing, in fine. that would do fur yellow-covered literature or the crimsoned boards of Old Bowerv. We hear, indeed, the thunder of guns, the angry shriek of masses of metal hurled innocuous against iron plates, the scream of the Gallio cock and the triumphant cry of the German eagle, while above the asphyxiating volumes of belchiDg smoke mes sublime, like another Don Quixote, the figure of that chivalrio hidalgo, Captain General de Rodas, who has come forth to "see fair" between the two bel ligerents. It is a naval duel between France and Genuanj, with Spain for umpire. But. after all, were it not for the loss oi three or four lives and the groans of a few wounded, the right would be but a faroioal fizzle. The friends of peace may rejoice at the result of this combat, since it demonstrates that ocean warfare, at least, has reaoned a point where scientific defences have reduced the loss of life to the minimum, and made the deck of a ship in aotion a much safer place than many an American railroad car. But the question of supremacy Is not yet settled. The belligerents are Dent on renew ing the struggle.

Should the weather prove inauspi cious on the appointed day, let the exhibition be postponed to the first fair day. If a errand dinner should afterward be given at Delmonioo's to the survivors, who knows bat it might inaugurate an era of good feeling and lead to ultimate peaoe between the two great nations now at strife ? TnE FEDERAL ELECTION LAW AND THE COURTS. From IXe N. Y. World. We cannot pretend to any tuoh acquaint ance with the reoondite practice of Courts as would warrant us in expressing an opinion as to whether a proceeding can yet be de vised for bringing the constitutionality of the election law before the highest tribunal for ad judication. If there had been a division of opinien between Judge Woodruff and Judge Blatckford, the case of Qninn could have been carried at onoe to the Supreme Court, and the question Bet at rent. We suppose there must be (or rather hope there xaay be; sonie other method of reaching that tribunal, for it seems quite unfit that the hasty, crude opinion delivered by Judge Woodruff under an evident bias and with tokens of unjudicial heat should stand as the final exposition of so new and grave a subject. The demeanor of Judge Woodruff through out that extraordinary trial was rather that of a partisan agent determined to carry an eleo- tion, than of a considerate impartial magis trate holding an even balanoe between the parties before him. He did not deign to weigh the arguments of the counsel for the defense, to which he listened with symptoms of impatience and passed with little notice in his opinion. He took no sufficient time to examine the points presented for his judicial consideration. The court adjourned at G o'clock on one day, and when it was reopened the next morning he delivered an extempo raneous opinion with a vehemence of manner and foroe of gesticulation quite out of keeping with the weighty and circumspect eloquence suitable to the bench. No judge could have properly investigated so complex a subject in the brief time whioh he took. lie had obviously made up his mind, and had determined to render a party service, in advance of all argument. lie accordingly met none of the points of the oppoeing counsel. He only undertook to show that Congress has some power in regu lating the election of its own members a point which nobody disputed. But he did not show, nor attempt to show, that its authority included the actual provisions of the law whioh was under consideration. That authority has, of course, some limits; but he did not attempt to draw the dividing line be tween permitted and prohibited regulation. By the Constitution, Congress may alter the regulations of the btates, or make inde pendent regulations of its own, respecting the time, place, and manner of holding elec tions for members ef the House of Repre sentatives, lhis is the whole extent of its authority. The law in question neither ap points nor alters the "time" or the "plaoe;" these grants of authority are therefore irrelevant to the present discussion. What may be included under the "manner" admits of a fair difference of opinion; that being an ambiguous and pretty comprehensive word. But however wide may be its latitude of meaning, the Constitution evidently contem plates cither a change of some existing State regulation repecting the manner of election, or the substitution of a Federal regulation. The law in dispute does neither. It leaves all the Stale regulations untouched, changing no pait of them, substituting nothing for them. What then does it profess to do ? It merely affixes new penalties to the violation of the unaltered, undisturbed State lcgulalions. The pretense that increasing penalties for violating long-standing regula tions is an alteration of those regulations, or a making of other regulations in their place, is a self-evident absurdity. The act is there fore void as transcending the authority of Congress. At the very least, there is good colorable ground for calling its constitution ality in question, and there ought to be some way of bringing it before a tribunal that will give an impartial hearing to the arguments, and render a mature and well weighed decision. Besides ths unconstitutionality of its main pravisions, it is also unconstitutional in the machinery provided for its execution. It creates certain new officers called supervisors of election, and makes an unconstitutional provision for their appointment. By the Constitution all officers of the United States must be nominated by the President and con firmed by the Senate. "Bat Oougress may, by law, vest the appointment of such infe rior officers as they may think proper in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments." The supervisors of election are appointed by none of these authorized methods. The act does not vest their appointment in the oourts, but in the judges, acting sot as a court, but as in dividual commisbioners of the Government. Any lawyer who has inspected one of Judge Woodruff's commissions must have seen that, by their very form, they do not purport to have been issued by the Circuit Court, but by the individual judge acting merely as an agent for the Government. He was obliged to put them in this form, because the law does not authorize him to make the ap pointments as a court. They are therefore all void lor repugnance to the Constitution. We repeat our earnest wish that all the ques tions connected with these extraordinary and unprecedented acta may in some way be brought before the Supreme Court of the United States, where they would be con sidered with a deliberation befitting the judi cial character, and where the judges would sot act witn the indeoent haste and vehe mence of political partisans.
