Our democratic friends, unmindful of the great carditial principle for which they hak•e ever contended, in this government that the electoral system was the only equitable oneL preserving in some degree the equal rights of the States, now that they find themselves beaten by a small majority in the Electoral College, clamor loudly for TILDEN on the ground that he has a large l majority of the pOpplar vote. Let us examine the question briefly and see what jus tice there is in their claim. There have been several coitests almost as close as the present one, and we have had more than one mi nority President .if the popular vote is the proper criterion. ions Q. ADAMS became President on a very small minority of votes. In 1844 PoLK was elected, although there was a popular vote of 28,000 against him, and the opposition , made no objection on that account. In 1848 there was a majority of 150,000 against the Whig candidate, and yet Gen. Ter- Lon was elected. In 1856 JAMES Bu- NIANATi , was chosen President and inaugurated without ptotest, although the popular majority against him was yver '400,000 In 1860 Mr. LINCOLN had a majority of 57 in the Electoral College, and yet thc; popular majority against him was 350,000. It will thus be seen that the electoral system has resulted in the election of men of both parties heretofote against the popu'ar majority, and no complaint has been made.. Now let us look at the question from , another standpoint.. In the states which were 'loyal during the rebellion, Gov. HAvEs has a majority I of more than 250,000. No , candid man will dispute the_ fact that the mass of Southern people still cling to their secession views, and only await the acquisition of power to con sumate their long cherished idea of ar. independent, government, with the restoration of their former rights of property in hutnan beings. Is it safer to entrust. the,government in their keeping than . in the hands of those who def:nded and preserved it in the hour of peril ? This is a ques tion worthy of serious thought. ' - Still another comparison may ba made which will not be found preju dicial to the republican claim that Xi...HAI:Es. is fairly elected notwith st,M.linglre has-not, received a major. itY of the popular vote. I In the present Congregs twenty-two states have, democratic maj ,cities in the Hot*, and fourtean reptiblican fma joritie,s. In the election of,congreSs inen,for the' next House tWenty-one chose a' republican. majority and f in fifteen de ocratic. So that if the election o - 1 4 President devolved upon the Con ,a ress chosen :,,at, the the game election t which Presidential' candi dates w re . voted for, the Republican candidate Would be successful,- We have ,referred thus, bijiefly to the various phases of the Presiden tial question merely., to point out the inConsistencies of the demoerats, whose greed for'power seems almost insatiable, and who seem in — their . pursuit of it to adopt the theory that the: " end justifies the Means." We shall not stop here to argue the ques t: tiOn whether the el: ctoral system is correct or not. It is the law of ,the the land and has been from - the or ganization of the gOvernment, and must be adhered to. THE DOUBTFUL STATES Two of the doubtful States have now completed their canvass and Show majorities for. HAYE,S, with - - out throwing out, any of the fraud ulent 'votes from " bull-doied " districts. Louisiana will complete her count in a day or, two," when a •like result . will be shoWn_ there, and the "long- agony will be" over," and our Democratic friends will have time to reflect on the causes which Nave led to their defeat. , They will discover that their in genious attempt to cover up their past disloyal record under the- spe cioils cry, of reform, was a signal failure,: and that the loyal people have not 'yet forgotten the loyalty. l and_ devotion of those who saved the country"from disruption. ' Four years more of Republican rule will restore the languishing interests of the South, and start them on a Voyagepf peace and prosperity, which, if lion estly persevered in by the people of that unfortunate section, will lead i them out of all their diflkulties. WE have become heartily disgusted with the daily announcement, other Ineligible , Elector." We do ,not believe the people of any State 'have been fool-hardy enough to select 'men who cannot serve in the electoral college. :On failure's ragged edge I stand, And cast a nsufructal eye 'To Louisiana's troubled land, Where all my chances lie.

The Senators elected in the otld numbered districts, bold :or four years, and those chosen in the even numbered districts, hold for two years.

So thorough is the syston 'of inquiry instituted that nine tenths of the money received. Was reatored, to the rightful owners. Among the parcels received, and for ,which no owners could'be found, are articles of almost every discrip tion. some very tine sets of diamond jewelry, valuable gold watches, neck laces, ect., furs., shawls, dresses, fans. shoes photographs, stuffed birds, and reptiles—and even living reptiles— figure the collection. A huge liv ing rattlesnake was recently received from a;,Western Instate, inclosed in a perforated •tin box. These articles are aatalonged and sold from time to time, after all means are exhausted to find their rightful owners. Doubtless in many instance the senders of these j letters, etc., have strongly censured the officials of the Post-offices for their presumed dis honesty culpable negligence. while thtir own carelessness are to be traced their losses and. the disapoint meirts of those for who the valuables were intended.

'Whatever may be the decision of the lieturnitif; Boards• in the disputed States (and we hope and: trust that the decision will be that Mites is fairly and legally elected), the unpleasat t fact remains, that he will have but one majority of the pros electors, with a majority of the people against hint in the popular vote. However thankful we may be that the government is not to pass into the hands Of the party one-half of whom sought its destruction but a few years ago, yet we cotinot banish tht hunt iiating thought tbat the Republican party which Pas been dominant for sixteen pais is now beaten in a popular contet, mid is only able to hold the government, if it bob's it at all, by t provision in the (onstitution which is not popular with any party and which will doubtless before Many years be amended. Sobered and humbled by the result, thoughtful Republicans will review the campaign just e:osed and look over the battlefield in older to ascertain the . causes which brought tbeM so near to a disastrous defeat, and froto which they were only saved (if they are saved) by the votes of those colored men iwho 'risked the loss of employment, the IM;s of life, and the vengeance of the rifle clubs in order to serve the party which have t;lem free dom and the ballot. On all the issues beiftn-e the country the It:publican. party occupied the true ground, and maintained a consistent, straightforward course from the beginning : to the end of the campaign; but the issues l were too few, and the party did notosen py ground enough to obtain an- arileut support of the moral and religious ele ments of society, Possibly it might bare succeeded better at this time by adopting tile doude-headed, Janus-faced policy of the Democratic party on the enrrencY question ; but an honest part ye:lntuit take that course, and a victory won under such circumstances is worse thatf a defei.t. The Democratic partysoughtao obtain control of the government under false pretenses ; it became all things to all men, that efer adventure it might secure votes ens ugh to place 'it• in power. Like Makfiannai :Sioore's "Veiled Prophet;" it preached a doctrine to please every sect and locality. BIENE , siesaked aildidateittisipartrasatiecef vet: them. Tr:imbed,' .of ..Illinois ; Den. W.

Adams, of Massachusetts, and other lead ers in the Republican paity went over to the Democrats. These men possessing unbounded selfishness could not biook the idea of rotation in office, and', because their party diCnot,,keek i them constantly employed in the public service, felt them selves terribly aggrieved,- and in-t h eir an ger at their imaginary wroivi.they, like Benedict Arnold, - deserted to the enemy and attempted to destroy the partythey had helped• to build up: 'Li e . birrr, they doubtless expect to be rewarded - for their treachery, and like him, they willbe de rplsed even by their new issociates. - The Democrat 3c party lives its, a. party of opposition rind re-action it; proposes nothing that is desirable, and ,opposes cry good _measure. It sometimes claims to, he consert l ative; but is conservative only of the bad. It talks about "reform," but has fought against all the reforms, of the present age,' and merely used the word as a bait to catch diisatistied publican votes. Thousands of Democrats despise the word. and like the Irishman, have "hated tho sound of it ever • since Marlin Luther attempted' to reforM the Pop:, of P.Onte:" Though the Democratic party, like Sodom, cari-Lfu'rni:Sh some righteous men, it is tilled with-vicious, re actionary elements that' would gladly wel come a return to the barbarism -of the dark ages.

L./cal option-is in ac cordance with the foundation principles of republican gove;nMent, arid.no intelli gent man of any liarty . eau, object to it without objecting to the 'doctrine that the majority shall rule. If the Republican party will take ground in favor of local option laws it can tibtain the zealous ser•- I and votes of thousands of the most able, active, disinterested andr-sQf-siteris 'icing aiien 'in th ; world—men who care nothing for placc'and power, but every- thing for principles and the welfare of into country—and it would only lose thtisul' - . port of a fliw bretv:•rs and distillers who cling to . i4Tik- the barnacles,to a„ship, to impede its progress or control its action.
