POLITICAL PROSPECTS.
I •
The result of the late elCetion in
Pesylvania may bo said to hare'
.virtually eettledtho Presideptial ques
tion of next year. This:Stato hies
always been regarded as the battle
ground—as the debatable territory—
its the " hist ditch "-where the De'-
moracy was to make its final, despe
rate struggle to gain possession of
the , government. The unexpected
disaiter they have encountered, has
thoroughly demoralized and disor
ganized the Democratic ranks, and
followed by the Republican triumph
in New York, which was a -natural
sequence to Pennsylvania's verdict•
he Democratic party, as ll:party, no
onger exists, and its late leaders are
oohing around to - see what arrange-
meats they can make, fer„cnalition
with'disaffected Republicans.
The result in Pennsylvania, must
be considered in the light of the fle
tiorvfof our State Convention, to
properly appreciate its peculiar sig
nificance as - regards the Presidential
election of next year. This State &
while approtAlag and endorsing_ihe
policy of the National AdrainiStration
was the first to renominate General
GRANT for re=election, or at least the
first to ratify such a declaration at
the polls. The.wisdom of this utter-
ance, in the midst of an apathetic
and apparently doubtful state election
was doubted by many who either did
not know, or did not properly appre_
elate; the hold upon the popular heart
which that distinguished soldief, and
upright statesman posesses. The re
sult justified the shrewdness,and vin
dicated the confidence of those who
believed that in this nomination of
Gen. GiLANT the convention was but
giving expression to the popular wish.
Indeed, it is a matter of serious con
sideration, how far the late triumph
in Pennsylvania may- not be attribute
ed to the fact that upon our banners
the most popular legend was the
name of Gen. GRANT, as our candi-
date for the Presidency of 1872, and
thatourmajority .of 20,000 was the
popular:expression of confidence in
the ability and integrity with wiich
the affairs of ,the nation have been
administered
Ai we have already stated, the d
momlizitlort, of the Democratic par
is thorotili and complete. The pro ; '
cess of -disintegration commented .
with the "new departnre.' What of
cohesion was left, was destroyed by
the occurrences of the 12th of July
and by the Tammany exposures.
.The people might, possibly haYe for
gotten or forgiven the rebellion, and
the part ,the northern: Democracy
filled therein, but as soon as the pee- -
ple manifest a disposition to become
Oblivious of the past, that party af
fords fresh proofs that it is neither
afe nor proper to be entrusted with
power. Des the Republican'arty
become rent with division, distract.-
' ed with schisms, sO dig easy vietory .
!seems within the grasp of the Dcihoe
i
IracY - ? straightway the latter utter

Inew misdeeds to awaken the peorle

lerties of the Nation.

d The Democracy will play an insig
dnificant pat .in the nexi-Presiden
tial election. •They must be content
to be in a meagre minerity,or by coa
lition with the-disaffected in_the Re
' publican ranks, endeaN - or to organ
ize a party, which, rallying .around
some Conservative candidate, will en
deavor to dßati - enough P,epalien i
votes, combined with air" Deniocra,tie
strencrth, to make a respectable show
at the polls. How far uch a coali
tion can be made between the leaders
of the Democracy .and the disaffected
of our own party, yet remains to be
seen. The indications certainty. ? are
-not favorable.' The recent - newspa
per canard that certain. Inading . Re
publidans, supposed to be utifaymit
ble -to Gen. GRANT'S re-noinination,
were to rue - et at Harrisburg, in eon-
saltation; has been sufficient to draw
4rop:t most of the gentlemen named
not only speedy and emphatic denial
of the truth of the report, but also
an expression as to the certainty and
propriety of the re-nmnination of
Gen. GRANT.
Present indications do MA point
to the feasibility of, such coalition as
we have_ spoken f. If the prime
movers could by any possibility agree
Upon a progratiime, they could
hardly bring their followers up to
the mark. The New Departure "
disgusted and. alienated many Dem
ocrats. It was a flat and palpable
failure, in many respects.' The old
leaven of Copperheadism is too strop
in the Democratic party, ever to be
eradicated, except-- by thdpurifying
processlof maw years. The ignorant
and prejudiced of that organization,
will never accept the settleinent of the •
issues of the war,and will'nerer relin
quish the hope that in time the "Con
stittition as it was," may be restored,
including the re-establishment of the
"peculiar institution." ' These voters
will , never support a moderate, or
'Conservative Republican, any ,more
than they would folloW in -the, "New
•
Departure."
On the other hand, disaffected or
Conservative Republicans can never
be brought to the support of a mod
erate Democrat. The elevation of
such a Man as Gen..PAnkrlt of NOV:
Jersey, for instance, would be the
induction in-power of the old regime,
witkall its-traditions, prejudices and
PolicY .- in antagonisM with what the
people desire. To ask a
,sAipporter
of Lincoln's , policy tovote for such a
wan woubi be at once to ask hint to
forgot the past ten years,anti ignore all
NZEi
that he had foughe:for, perhaps bled
for, in the momentous struggles dur-.
ing and following the fiebellion. The
idsa of bringing such disoordant ele
nt
.enth into unison, is too idle and
prepostems to be worthy of serious
discussion.
Probably no President has
ever occupied the Executive chair,
who has not experienced opposition
from a clique of disappointed men iu
his own party. Probably, . also, this
will be the experience of all who :may
in the future be elevated to-that higl) .
position. Gen.= GRANT has torques ,
tionably disappointed many, in the
disposal Of the offices within his - gift,
and there is no man so deeply wound
ed as the disappointed applicant for
office. That there gre those calling
them Selves Republicans who . are
ready to combine with any party to
defat the reelection.of Gen. Ga.txr,
there is no denying. This faction,
however, is impotent to effect such a
disaster. The masses aro more than
satisfied by the administration of
public affairs. No incumbent of the
Executive chair has ever so thorough
ly imbued the people with a comic:
tion of his4onesty and fidelity us has
the man who now occupies that exalted
position. The partisSm looks with
satisfaction to the Radical
, - poliey
which has governed the President in
his recoMmendations and his actions.
To secure to every - one the inalienable
rights of a_Freeinan has been his firSt
care. Under his judicious but ,firm
course, the disloyal and turbulent
eletents of the South, have. been
taught that they must yield obedience
to the authorities, and that they must
respect the rights of every citizen.
Our credit abroad has bee 4 strength
ened and sustained ; the national
debt is rapidly diminishing, prosper
ity extends over the land, and peace
and good-feeling prevail. With the
general results of the efforts and de-
sires of the General Goti•ernment, the
people are more than satisfied, and
deep in the public heart is the settled
conviction, that to the Moderate, wise
and determined guidance of Presi
dLnt GRANr is greatly duo whatever
of prosperity and peace the country
nnw enjoys. That it is.the determii
ation of a Vast majority of the people
of this Republic to continue in power
the present N.ntional Administration
for four years from March 4, 1873,
theie no longer the shadow of a
doubt.
' ts THE 'WOMAN $ - R - FT.AGL - DECLSION.i
The rapid progress of the woman's
suffrage,' movement is a cause of alarm
to its opponents and of gratification
to its friends. Not long ago, Jude
1 4'
Underwood, of Virginia decided that
the recent amendments to the con
stitution nf the United States,temoi
nd all restrictions and made a female
citizen a voter. And ,now the Su
preme Court of the DiStrict of Colum
bia haS ,dccidcd that the amended
constitution; in plain words, confers
upon women full citizenship, with all
and every right, privilege, and im-
Munity pertaining to American citi-
zenship. In this particular District,
howev - er, the court expressed the
opinion that additional legislation is
needed to place her in full possession
of the right_to the ballot. We believe
that, thus far, the courts have 'uni
formlx decid'ed that women are in
cluded in tie amendments among
citizf.ns who may vote. If the Su
preme Court, of the United States
confirms these decisions, there will
be a large addition' of voters and of
Ln clement which we may hope will
purify polities:"

The reference to my steadfast devotion to

In a Conversation nith Hon. John M. Francis,
United States Minister to Greece; Dr. Hollinger
is reported to have said:
"Do you iu the United States comprehend
What that aictrine Is? It imposes open those
who acceptit the solemn obligation to violate
civil law, to set themselves -up in opposition to
the ordinances of your government whenever
the Popo shall pronounce his infallible judg
ment against any one of those ordinances upon
moral or religious grounds. In a word, it is the
assumption of power un the part of the Pope to
proclaim a higher law, which, according to the
dogma his children must obey, though such
obedience Involves treason to the State and the •
overthrow of your (iveimment. This doctrine
is'not only ehockingifo the moralsemse, it takes
us back to the dark ages of the world, and even
a stretch beyond, and it not only limits the
eonunon sense of the World, but strikes at the
common civilizations of our timnc•s. It cannot
and must not prevail." •
—WHAT NEXT ?--An exchange says:
enterprising Massachusetts farmer has
shit:hell - Due of his pastures *All gild buffaloes
which he proposes to time and domesticate,
and ill try Alm experiment of crossing with
Durham. Ayrshire, and Jersey breeds of stock.
Which is a capital idea and ought to lead to im
portant practical results. 'The milk of the bi
son is exceedingly rich. The toughness or the
meat is doubtless owing to exposure and poor
fare ; but even now the :hump is considered a
rare delicacy. , The strength of the creature is
enormous, and the number of these animals
still roaming over the vast fields of the West is
beyond calculation. Who knows what benefits
may come from this happy thought? Of course
our Yankee farmer will no more think of yoking
a. wild buffalo with , a sturdy, steady, slow-going
ox into Lis plow-team, than" we should think of
yoking Mr. Frauhplair with Mr. Greeley in a
Presidential teats.

LETTER FROM WASILtNGTOR.
Wratuscrros, D. C., Nor. 11, 1871
_ Eorron : The sharp Noventbor winds
sweeping drearily through the streota, an:
whirliog in mid-air, the sore leaves that rustle
beneath our feet in the pathways of the desert
ed parks and gardens, are ildieatimurnot to be
mistaken that the winter season is fast ap
proaching.
This period of the year, however cheerless
the !kips or uncomfortable the atmosphere is
always eagerly and ansiously anticipated. The
assembling of Cong,ress The first of December,
heralds a New Departure in the city, ,socially,
morally, financially and politically ; in 'the long
list of pleasures and novelties, c,titl giddy el f
cltements prepared for nianY visitors who
annually itaeli to the Capitol, the dull monoto
ny of the stammer months is forgetter.,
revives, and fashion puts on her gP.1%..4t
attire.
Churches that hays lung stdod ;silent, arc
again filled with their_long absent congrega
tions and ministers, klio during their snrlamdr
vacation, have been bracing , theii• revealed
lungs With blasts from the North Pole or else;
where, arc again pouring forth floods of elo
',Vence upon their devout and :delighted hear
ers. Courts of Justice are once more open and
and-ledges who Lave been trailing the judicial
ermine iu the slime and ooze. Of the Yew De
parture, va July Oins-ing from east to the west,_
the glittering phantom of the Presidency, arc
again upon the bench ; but, alas +with the rosy
visions of future greatness sadly dimmed iu the
results of the recent elections. Politicians and
political jobbers, whose names are legion,while
crowding the lobbies and corridors of the Cap
itol, crowd ako - the Hotels tilling them to re
pletion, making the eye cf the sorrowing
. lord brighten and sensations of gladntss creep
over alder:aerie' proportions. Clerl.s clothed
in an immense quantity of raiment at the shoul
ders and breast, but terminating in dimensions
that - eitt;:rly fail to ruin] their a ppyin mtssion,
stand forth irrepressible as trunk. and bag as
cend stairn - ay to theiT stinted apartments in the
skies.
And ye ancient dame of the historic boarding
house as she beholds the rapidly 'changing.
scono, feels suddenly a corresponding change
creep over her super-annusted anatomy. Smiles
once more embellish her impassive fice.joy and
gladuesl are a n aant dwellers in the house of Is
rael, rejoicings gc forth and the price of beard
gees up.
Government officials icsting from their ardu
ous labors,whoso over-taxed brain and esliamil
ed energies could only hi,recnperatcd in th.•
atmosphere of foreign lands, wandering
on vine clad hills, drinking the waters of Hygie
" from old and fahtilons wells," or
bathing in the flaw's of sonny classic gtreani,are
back again as happy and as smiling as usual
and are Icokitig "rCchui:ab:y iniprovokl."
Thus through all the circles of life, through
all trades, occupations and professions;.as Con
gress asiemblcs, new impuLles with renewed
animation -are witnessed,and all gladly welc , site
the change from "grace to gay." •
The foar millions of dollars appropi iated Ly
the city giavernment to be expended in improy
ins and beautifying the Capitol, will for many
months to'come, give in abundance of employ
ment to the laboring classes and the poor. The
wants, sufferings and privitkons of thts portion
of our population, so usual in winter will by
this empenditure be tuateriallr alleviated and
none need suffer by reaton of a t,uit of wori h .
With the great amount yr 44tiblia Pazo,', 7
nient3 and private enterprises nbw so thorough
ly in progress,y:ashington must soon tleVt.l.)re
itself into one tf the mo::t L antiful and inter
e+tmg cities of the Union. The entire streets
and avenues with raaree an cs.cept.on, are .
now being graded and paved with the latest
ini
provcdsuatcrial ; sidewalks rclaid, and in many
instances widened ; while many -t i Cie streets
-dimmed unneeessanly wide, are b,ing beauti
fully parlied tilt: ugle ntre or at the sides
as fancy uniy deckle.
With the On:cense quantity of Loi;ing tar
that is being used in est. ry t:;reetnni in the con
struction Or these improvements, it tua: be said
that we are now hvii):.; in a land of flame and
smoke ; atoid whi,1191,:, old and nun-p:o;•res.t-
ice resident Ftand4 arnazril and perplexed,
growling end protesting, Lecaure there is no
prowpeel that Co!):4r(•g• can l e induced to foot
the bill.
The tower; :tg whirr of the Metropolitan
church, one of 'Cm largest and met elegant
struettires of the kind in the city, was last week
completed; and , the new grand chime of bells
abant which there has been so mttch written, to
procure, which th..,ro has been sa, much beg
ging, and over which there been 1:o much pray
ing and preaching, has been placed in position.
On the morning dt Thanksgiving day the city
will bo awakened from its slumbers 'with their
harmonious jingle of times and semi -tones,
thirds, fifths and sevenths, diatonic and chro
matic, as they for the first time announce their
advent, to swell the chorus of glad tidings of
peace and good will towards - mom With these
ten thousand dollar bells, the tbn thousand
dollar organ,and the great tido of fashion pour
ing in and oat of 4.liis Magnificent Temple or
worship,would not the honest and simple-mind
ed Methodie of old, on beholding the seene, be
led to exclaim, "now let thy servant depart in
peace."
Daring the past few weeks r. lis.ve had in the
city papers a daily hash ~f the Madame Cata
cazy matter until we, with donbtless thousands
of others are forced'to o.sclaim, "Give us rest.'
Besides, no one seems to know what it is all
about. More ink has been spilt in trying to ex
plain it than would float the whole lipssian
fleet from New York to Washington, and still
the thing remains unexplained and unexplaina
ble. The dispute if newspaper reports are,true,-
has apparently dragged in every one in the
Coifed States and Russia; and. we marexpect
that nothing short of a joint high commission,
appointed by the Great rttlSSiati Bear and the-
Bird of Freedom will be able to settle the affair.
The latest report in circulation is-that Mr. Cat.
acazy has 'ken told. that .after the visit of the
Grand Duke, he will not be received as Minis
ter to Russia here ; and that Mr. Curtin our
Minister to Russia has given that government,
to understand, that unless Mr. Catacazy shall,
have been recalled, or shall voluntarily retire,
his passports hill be sent him. •
The expected visit of Brine: Alexis to die
Metropolis of the nation, seems to create but
little comment or excitemet.
.Official circles 81
far seemingly manifest no agitation over the
prospect of the imperial visit, but, without
question, due honor and respect will be given
his highness when he seeks this latitude or our
public. Barlors will lei: aired and lighted.
Hops will be given and introductitins sought
a'Ttcr. The Washington Regiment of ligl.l In
fantry will parade in fall dress proceeded by the
marine Band. Halls will be decorated with.
Russian colors, Russian flags will wave from
the hOttee tops, and the picked nines of the
baseball clubs will, of course, play a match
game for the enjoyment and edification of 'is
ighuess. Then we shall have Russian baths,
Russian hats and boots -anticoats. Every thing
bought and sold will, for a, time be intensely
Russian ; and 'Fashion fora, season will be
treated and delighted with a. new sensation.

A Twenty-one' Pound Tumor Remdred—
A Delicate and Dangerous _ Operation.
The operation .known, as ovarioto
my was performed yxfitertiny on Mts.
Jane H. Todd, on Twenty-first street,
near Walnut, ` t by Drs. T. J. Orfliths
and Newman. Sizteen other most
distinguished
,surgeons were present
to witness the operation, which was
of the most delicate and dangerous
character;- bat it is hardly necessary
to say that it was skillfully executed.
This operation, one of tile wonders
of the nineteenth- century, and The
glory of its perfection, belongs entire
ly to Kentuck) , surgeons.
The operation of oyarietomy was
first performed by Dr. Eihram Mc-
Dowell, of . Danville, on Mrs. Craw
-1 ford, of this county, mother of ex
Mayor . Crtaford, in_ the year 1809.
The most learned medical men, in the
world, especially in , Europe, con-,.
donned it as a . barbarous act. The
.world - stood avast at the thought of
a stomach being opened, the entrails
being taken out, relieved of an ugly
tumor and then replaced. The clan- ,
ger was thought too great, and hence
the medical fraternity. condemned
the operation. Dr. McDowell, how
ever, thought otherwise, and repeat=
ed tlad operation, thirteen times, dur
ing his only one 'case' proving
fatal.
It was fifteen years' after his death
before any other physiman Would at
tempt what he had done. In the
meantime choloform was discovered
and called '•to the assistance of the
profession. Dr. Atlee, then of Phqs-•
delphia, with the aid of chloroform,
suce2ssfully removed -. an ovarian tu
mor, and since that time the opera
tion has been- freqnently performed,
the late 'Dr. Bradford, •o; Aug,nsta,-
Kf., being celebrated for his skill
and success in • such 'cases. About
. thirty-three per cent. of the patients
usually die, we - are told, when chloro
form is used.
This fact was made known to Mrs.
Todd, and she preferred to have the
use of her wits while under the cruel
but healing knife, avowing that she
was as brave as MN. Crawford or any
other lady. The work occupied
twenty-three minutes, during -which
time the patient lay as mationless as
boula have been desired. 7 .

Since the lows of Avondale coal

the affect upon the ventilation of the

fruitless speculation as to its 441&",
and the mystery which•shfOutied
it at the time has since enveloped it,
and while the story that reaches us
comes from no authoritative. source,',
it is still so generally circulated that
we feel justified in giving it for what
it is worth. A man-who lived-some
where near Grao Tunnel, died from
the effect of stnall pox. last FFiday
