TIIE DISRUPTION OF THE BE PUBLI
CAN PAIUY.
From the S. Y. Herald.
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. Having given the ri pari am
of the Gulf of Mexioo a taste of their

able craft might be chartered to oarry eiour-

wounded of both the Frenoh and German
armies. 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.
