The "grand rally" of the leading Democrats around Tammany and McClellan in New York on Mon day evening seems to have been for the purpose of carrying New York for their candidate. "Let as carry New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey and our candidate goes to the White House," said one of them. This prophecy shows that they are unsound in mathe matics as in polities. If the demo crats shall carry the solid South and New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut besides, he would still Be a good ways from winning. The number of votes required in the electoral college for success is one more than half of the whole— that is, 234. The South may be counted for 150 votes; New Y'ork will have.lit, Connecticut 7, and New Jersey 12—total, 58, which with the south make 208 votes al together. Any partisan revolution which would give those three states to the.Democrats would very likely give them also Delaware and Maryland, with their 11 votes, making 219 votes lor the Demo cratic candidate—ls votes short of the number required. If it even gave him West Virginia, with her 7 votes, he would still lie, behind, and must carry some large West ern state in order to succeed. Have the Democrats a man in their party who can win all those states? There may be blind par tisans who think so, but the ides of November will undeceive them. General Reyes, the Colombian minister ai Washington, is piping his protest more feebly. He still remonstrates, but he says that Col ombia can save her wounded honor with greenbacks; that if she cannot have Panama as part of her territory, she ought to be paid damages for the injury inflicted and submits the case to the arbi tration of the Hague court. If it is true that ho shows this amiable disposition, amenable to the de crees of fate, Congress may restore peace and harmony by a reason able appropriation. The mileage scandal, in which both parties are equally involved, comes up again in a humiliating shape. The regular session of Congress followed the extra ses sion so closely that there was but a few minutes intermission, yet the members with few exceptions,drew the entire mileage of twenty cents a mile for journeys that were never made. Ordinary travel, costs about two cents a mile by rail. But not only have Congress men drawn pay for journeys never made in whole or in part, but they have very generally traveled on passes issued to them by railroads, concerning which they are often called upon to legislate. This is a national disgrace and a national grief, and that it is high time that a crusade was begun similar in fervency to that against the frank ing abuses and Credit Mobilier which sent so many statesmen in to oblivion.
