It it so notorious that it is looked for as a matter of course, and a game SO oft repeated that it scarce attracts attention. Were there an honest election in Philadelphia, radicalism would have no fbot-hold in the slate. We will let the Age tell the way it doue. It says: Another farce ww* mactod in Philadelphia yeeteniay under the name of an election. The elective franchise was outraged. The ballot box was debauched. Rounder* plied their trade unmolested. Relators practiced their calliug in all the wards. Gang* of men were piloted from division to division, in one in stance by a "Ring" candidate fir Miature, and voted upon uaune givro them by their employer*. Well known cititeos were personated by loafers and vagabonds, sud wheu th* fact was pointed out to the "Ring officers, they disregarded the infor mation and insulted thoae aho sought to prevent illegal votes from being polled. All day in all paits of the city this disreputable game was car ried out by the "Ring" officials. They had been instructed how to act, and promised immunity from all con sequences by those in authority. Thus emboldened they first stuiled the ballot-box, and then falsified the returns to make tbeni ruu in the same dirty and corrupt .ruts. This t* no political declamation. The farce is over, and we state facts known to all intelligent men in this city, no mat ter what their political opiuions. They know the vote ami returns ol yesterday do not represent the true division of parties in this city. That fact is appareut as the sun at midday. All this work was accomplished under the operations of the Registry act, a measure concocted by the "Ring for the purpose of robbing the people ot their votes, and which they refused to annul when petitioned to do so by scores of the respectable men of their own party. Elliott aud his gaug knew the worth of the Registry act on election day. They tested it yes terday to the utmost, and the result is the return of the whole "Ring city and county ticket, by a heavy majori ty. The "Ring" candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court aud Stale Trea surer were also returned as having large majorities in the city. What do sober, thinking uu-u ol Philadelphia, men who have some thing at stake iu its local government, think of the farce of yesterday ? It is now demonstrate*) that the ballot is a mockery ; that elections have no meaning in this city. They are a part of the "Ring" machinery, and managed as all other movements of that corrupt body are, to suit a few men. And upon this system depend the property and personal rights of citizens of Philadelphia. They have no vfeice in the management of local * flair*. They are set aside at the polle. They are not allowed to de clare who shall rule the city. Are they content ? That is all we have to say at this time in reference to the "Ring" farce in this city yesterday. The result of the election iu this county showa that John Irwiu, jr., barely beld'bia own in the election, on 14th. This is wrong, to so good a republican as Mr. Irwin ; he should have ran ahead ; for we know he re ceived some democratic votes, and yet he shows no gains. Why this shabby treatment ia his own house hold ? That he was cut hy his own party, even in Heilefoote, is clear. If Mr. Irwin don't go back upon some of those chaps iu the radical Miushbouse, he shows no grit. We are glad be was shelved, although he did not deserve it at the hands of his own party. Hcuce we say to him, remember them —go for their nosus when they smell around after same thing. We have a good joke on Jimmy Lasbell—and as Jimmy is a good fel low, we'd rather tell a good joke on him than on any other mau. Now he is AD honest man and sells goods cheap anient re Hill—he is a great talker, and his great conversational (towers draw many customers to his store, and people get bargains there. But men that say a great deal will natur ally forget some of it. Now Mr. Lashell was beaid to say, befoie the nominations, that if Orvis and Miller wrre nomiuated, he would vote fur Orvis—just the choice that an honest and intelligent radical like our friend Lashell would make. But this slip ped his memory, —and we all, occa sionally, have that fault. So when the election came around, like a con sistent republican, Mr. Lashell sup plied himself with a straight republi can ticket, Miller and ail, and was about to go the "whole hog." Hcrp Mr. Davy Gillilaud stepped in and reminded bis friend Lashei) of a declar ation once upon a lime made, that he would vote for Orvis. But Mr. Lashell was oblivious to any thing of the kind, and Davy insisted that it; wa? correct. Mr. Lasbell declared if|' it could be proven fceVl stick to it. 1 David called Jim WCHotiuk, and Jim said he'd heard Lasbell malm j J MKII H taken (in* iwlickl dtaraac l< ll- ; tumiuntl'- ottl eahior ha* robbed. it to that Alllollllt.

We pity I-evi Miller. The Repor ter did uot come down upou him very heavily during the campaign, Iweause we did uot think it neocwary, for we believed, aud predicted, that lie would ootue out very iuall, and hi* mortifi cation would therefore be certain. It wa* not intruded, wheu Levi vra* nominated, that ho wa* to bt elected a large number of delegate* left that convention, and iu our own heating said they would uot vote for him. We told him thia, but he aa* deaf to our warning*. Now the evil ha* come upou liiiu, aud he i* shelved, badly laid out, and feel* *o sick. Well he i* a wiser man now, and know* that the Reporter, a* always, told bint the truth. Now, *iuce the election i* over, we thiuk that there would be no harm in Levi Miller telling which grttiuirr he really intended clicking te, the one he made to the liquor men or the one be made to the temperance tueu. Those "prouiisiug" young meu are of ten cut off in the heyday of life. For the information of Levi Miller, we wish to stale, that Lis party nom inated him by acclamation only u. a burlesque—they wanted sotue tun at somebody's expense, and fixed upon him. and the fact is that his party eu joy the joke more than do the demo crats. There was a "little" sylnpatky for Levi amoug democrats, but the jol ly fellows in his own party only put a ribbon on him to puli him as a gim crack. Iu Lewistowu Wareaiu has 159 ma jorily, and in the two adjoining town ships 231 additional ! These, with McYeytown, were the Ring's strong holds! Last year Hartranft had 21 in the borough, and 2 in Derry, and Buckalew had 6 in Granville. Philadelphia, ou Tuesday, 14th, gave a majority of 32,494 in favor of license. Ohio—lowa. The *lO6llOll in Ohio on last Tuesday 14th, resultrd in • grand victory against the corrupt ion isls, and the election of Al len, the regular democratic nominee fori governor. Tit* democrat* have alto car ried both branches of the legislature, which insures the re-eloction of that gal lant champion of purity and democracy, Senator Thurman, of whom the Huckeycj •tate tee Is so proud, and well she may, for hi* record in tha U.

The grant party made a hard fight to keep Ohio in line, but her people have enough of Credit Mobilieruin, double sal ary presidents, salary grabs, ring rule, and they voted on the Utbimt-, in favor: of democracy and reform. That any state will continue to cast a majority for thel radical party in the lace of such corruption | and plundering as has been practiced un-' der Grant, is a matter of astonishment, j We firmly believe, that were Pennsylva nia free from the accursed ring influences which manufactures majorities in Phila delphia, our state would have spoken in thunder tonas against tho plundering Mat-key and bis thieving crew, who sre persistently robbing the treasury of our •tale, and Ptnnsylvania would this day be ia unison with Ohio, in condemnation of the wrong that is practicad upon }he peo ple. Thousands of honest republicans know and openly admit that the riaginas tcrs are plundering tho people wholesale and thesa ara willing to turn them out by voting for honest democrats, but the frauds ballot-box stuffing and repeating of the ring, ia Philadelphia and other radical strongholds defeat the honest voters. Ohio has dune nobly, better than the dem ocrats looked for with ail the P, i> change.

Puriug the toilsome months of Isst year whop we were doing our best to urge the claims of If l 'race Uroeley to the suffrages of hjr countrymen we were constantly told that Mr. Greeley was a rusn so unskilled in (inancia. economy that his election would dis turb the moneyed classes, llenry Clew# A Co., Jsy CookeA Co., Fisk A Hatch and other firms .uade them selves conspicuous by discrediting Mr. Greelav no the ground that his election would unsettle the ninnev market. "Under President Grant,' said they ."are shftll !r*ve prosperity and ease." But Grant's election has been followed by the very panic which it was expressly designed "to pievrnt. Moreover the very firms that trusted to it for safety aro the chief victims to their own false prophecy. Further more the conspicuous capitalists who last summer advocated Grant's elec tion—we mean such m:i as Horace B. Cinriui; IJenrv Clews, William Orton, aud others,distinguished them -el ves on a recent Sunday morning by urging Grant to violate the law ol the land iu order to relieve them from a pinch and pressure which they were once sure could come only through the election of Grunt's rival! The campaigu slanders which these professed exponents of the business community uttered against a blame less tuau a year ago have now been brought home, by a sort of avenging poetic justice, to their own doors, and find a strange commentary in tbeir own misfortunes.
