Trig election has batched out a fearful
crop of roosters. If there is anything the
country editor especially delights in, it is
to embellish jiis colitmns with roosters, in
defiant attitudes,. and wings in the most
excited condition of rapturous Mid noisy
'exultation. This, year the indulgence in
roosters.fis confined to the Ilepublican pa
pers. And they have used the .occasioe
as if they never expected another oppor
tunity to occur. The display of roosters
has been prodigious, in some casts half a
dozen embellishments on one page of a
paper. If our side is good for nothing
else, it is good at craving.
THE sudden death of the stalwart Sen

ing the Atherican people, more admire
and are ready to applaud, than integrity
and pluck. The man who has the cour
age to act upon his convictions, and never
hesitates nor temporizes, in the end se
cures the ppblic esteem and is awarded
the mood of praise. - WADE, and 'lsm-
LIN and CHANDLER, none of whom were

• Tire Florida and• Louisiana Democrats
have a move for making sure of the
electoral votes of those states, by giving
the appointment of Presidential electors
to the Legislature. It would not be sur
prising if other of the southern states
should adopt this plan, as it would be
much easier to control the, vote of the
state. in this manner, than 'at: the polls. It
would not do to apply the . Yazoo system
when Presidential electors were to be
voted for; but the 3tississippi plan is per
fectly safe and effectual, when members
of the Legislature are to be chosen. The
desperate measures which will be resorted
to to achieve Detnocratie success in 1880,
will demand - the most radical treatment.
NEW YORK
- WE are regretfully forced to admit
that we - do not look upon the'result
-in the Empire Staie with unalloyed
'satisfaction. There is -a fly of mod
erate dimensions in our ointment
cup. It is all 'very well to hurrah
for Cornell's election as Governor by
a plurality of 30,000, but somehow
arises the unwelcome spectre of a
majority of Democratic, votes of 30 4 -
000, *hen we add together the-ballots
case for Kelly and' Robinson: Will
it be urged that Republican voters
have cast their suffrages for either ?
If this is admitted, it does not add to
our satisfaction as an explanation,
nor does it demonstrate that our
chances of carrying New York in
180 are thereby increased. To be
sure, it is more than probable that, a
portion, if not all, of the Republiean
State officers on the ticket with COr
nell have been elected, .by -small ma- .
jorities, and thht it is fair`we claim a
Republican triumph. Should it
.prove true that we have succeeded it
thus electing s portion of the State
ticket which was. not obnoxious to
any part of the Republican voters, it
will only show a grand Republican
victory in New York 'has been fool
ishly and unwisely lost by pie
violence, stupidity or self-willed ob
stinacy and conceit of those `who con
trol and 'regulate the politics of that,
great State.
The tidal wave which lips swept
over the North has met with: a break
water in New York. 'The same in
fluences which rolled up a majority.
of 60,000 in Pennsylvania should
have put the Empire State in the Re
publican column for 1880;-and settled
the Presidential question beyond all
doubt or cavil. The times were .
auspicious; the public sentiment of
the North *as aroused ; the Republi
party wits never so well nnitcd, never
so. determined to save
. the govern
ment from the control. of the con-
federate brigadiersas it was this fall ;
a feeling which, when allowed exPres
s.ion, has been demonstrated in every
-Northern State, There is every
rea-.on to believe that _New York
would have joined in that verdict, and
spoke in thunder tones, but for the
Unwise course pursued in subordina
ting the public good to the gratifiea
tiS,n of personal;feeling, thereby
aliehating the support of many good
men, and checking and chilling the
'growth and demonstration ol' ;that
poicular uprising which everywhere
else• had full opportunity to enlarge
and, have exvression.
It is useless to.deni that the force
and effect of the iraiiEl manifestation
has been materially weake'ned 1)3 1 the
unfortunate state of afrAirs in the
State of New Y qrk, and by the
questionable victory which we. haie
won. It should not have been a
questionable victory, and would not
have been,..had the leaders there been
unselfish, And aimed only at the good
of the party and the country. It
may be, and undoubtedly is, a great
personal triumph for the distin
guished Senator from New 'York,
but it is gained at a fearful,price to
the Republican party of the natio.n.
It has cast a shad6w of doubt upon
the result in 1880—when it should
have dissipated all gloom and
question about the nest Presidency.
It ensures a protracted,' bitter and
doubtful struggle for the electoral
vote of that State in 1880.
Our sympathies of course s were with
CORNELL. He is a worthy and up
right man, and fit to beGovernor of
the great State which has choseivilim .
as its Executive. But his nomination
was inopporttine, in the fact that it
seetned, like a menace to the National
Administration and was particularly
offensive to's class of Retiublicans
who, though they may be' sentimen
talisti, are •nevertheleEifs , respectable
and undoubtedlyinceire. A
.1 mod-
-
elute, judicious, unselfish course
would have dictated the nomination .
of a man who was not obnosionS tO
any one ; which would have resulted ;
in the grandest triumph4e Repubj
lican4 of that State ever achieVed,
and wonld have been the' proudest
act of CONKLWS Ike, and gained him
universal praise. As it i 5, it will be
come those Re Publicans who control
and•manage the 'Political affairs, of
the State of S:e* York, to set about
the undoing of the mischief they
have caused, and avert the . dangers
which they have raised. The break
ers aredn pain View, but they can be
avoided, if wisdom, courage and un
selfishness are it the helm.
,A spirit
of conciliation must be mancfested—
a desire and determination for the
suecesi'of the Republican
. Party, for
the good of the-country, and not for
the gratification of peisonal animosi
ties, nor the punishment of real or
fancied slights. A higher and better,
sentiment should prevail, and broad
er and more generous ahtions in the
future rede9m--Ahe reputation of her
counsellors for disinterestedness.
We do not wish to be misunder
stood as desiring to belittle the,
victory gained in the State of New
York, nor.of undervaluing the advan
tages of its, results. We only regret
that there Was not sah a demonstra,
tion as was possible, under different
circumstances, and' which would have
settled the Presidenti - al question be
yond all .peradventure. As i. it
only di,spoks of 'TILDEN, and leaver'
hope, a feeble one, to The sure, but
still a hope, with the Deinocracy of
being able to carry the State. Tie
GoVernor wields an immense, political
power which will be used; to our Ad
vantage, and with a Legislature
which fully •sympathizes he will 'l)e
able to prevent 141 e perpetration of
the frauds which so largely increase
the Democratic majority in. New
York city, and
.by securing a fair
election and honest returns, make

certain our success . State. 'The
election - shows that NeW York is a
Republican State, and will cast her
electoral vote for the Republican
candidate, unless it .is, thrown away
by reason of sheer folly and madness.
:THE ELECTIONS
THE loyal North Is now Ja solid
North. The verdict of Maine, lowa,
Ohio, Colorado'and California is re
peated in an- unmistakable manner
Yind with a clearness and force which
cannot be misunderstood _by Penn
sylvania, New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, -Minne
sota, Nebraska and Wisconsin. That
verdict so emphatically rendered is,
that the project for surrendering the
control of this government to those
who sought to overthrow it by rais
ingll the black flag of radii° and
resorting to the sword, shall not
succeed, but that the destinies of the
country ate safe when left to tie
guidance of those who have been true
to the fla and loyal to the constitu
Lion and the laws.
It is a significant -!expression of
disapprobation of the attempted
usurpation of the President's a.othor:-
ity brthe Democratic 'congress, and

the methods by which the negro vote
has been stampeit out in the South,
and of the political e systeni of which
Yazoo is the typ'e, arid the exemplar.
It has placed its foot firmly upon the
State sovereignty . h 3resy, and it has

Which .gave to Greenbackers andre ; -

Before the menace :of Southern sit;
premacy the, NOrth" has solidified,'
and to-day it offer,s to its ancient
enemies, at hoine and in the States
lately in rebellion, an unbroken front,
a promise of firm resistance to-trea
son and financial dishonesty, and an
intense enthusiasm for free, pure and
honest government which will prob
ably be felt, 'witii increased face, in
the great contest of t year. As .a
whole,, it is a glorious triumph for
the principles which wise and pa
triotic.; men 11; - )1c1 most dear; and in
detail ,it is fUll of material upon
which such men may dwell with deep
satisfaction and genuine thankful
ness.
The causes of this mighty uprising
~f the people of the North are not
obscure. First of all, the political
crimes of the South have excited
.here hot indignation, which has . 1
found voice in the Northern press
only td-be expressed more vehement
ly at the polls. ' This is the sign and .
token that the men who once set the
negroes. free
i are eager now to pro
tect them n . the exercise of their
rights as citizens and human beings.
In the next - place, the people have
been deeply stirred by the manifest
purpose of the South to capture the
federal government; they have been
angered by the assaults of the rebel
Congress upon the Executive ; by its
threats ; aßin4t the financial credit of

"and by its persistence in advocacy of

sioners r4trding the collection of State

such action. The Auditor General thinks
that heretofore ilte assessments have been
very carelessly made, and that at least
one-half the moneys at interest subject to
State taxation have not been reached.
The law fixing the State tax on moneyed
capital at four mills on the dollar requires
the assessors to ascertain particulars of
the property so taxed, and to require eve;
ry taxable perp . on to furnish documentary
str+ment of the money dile him'hy sol

quired of taxables must be furnished

A DISPATCH from Chicago, published
New York last week, stated that General

had an important message to deliver to
the people of Ow United States, and that
he would deliver it upon reaching that
city. T.a3 irbeen,announced that the
stony lii)s of•the Sphinx had been opened
to enlighten the world, it would hardly
have excited more astonishment and
cmiosity. It was instantly determined
by one tha . t he was to decline firmly all
thought of a Presidential nomination:; by
,O other that he would announce- himself a
candidate for a tined term. But before,
the newspaper men :were allowed. to
"burst in ignorance," comes a denil of
the whole affair,' and a statemenethat it
is pure fiction. I General GRANT says he
"dLag no special message to delkef to the
people of the United States in Chicago or
elsewhere."
THE forthcoming census will exhibit a
great-advance in the population of the
Northwest, from which the Republican
party will be largely benefited. Compu
tations already made, show that when the
next Congressional' apportionment is
made, based upon the votes of Kansas,
Nebraska and other contigtious States t
there will be a large inereaseof Repre t
seutatiwg, far exceeding the gains in the .
East and the South, which latter, though
advanced, are compared with the gigantic

LETTEB, nom PHILADELPHIA,
ruiLADELrIII 4 , November 10, 1879.
- The thirty thousand ißepublicaa major
ity in this city would seem extraordinary,
if the State majority was not- so large,
and if other StateS bad not2xhitited sim
ilar astounding results. ItTmust not be.
taken,, for - granted that' the Republican
majority in this city can be maintained at
these large figures, for it was occasioned
now by causes which May not prevail
next year. Firstly, the managers of the
Republican-Tarty wisely yielded to the
popular demand for a tieet composed en
tirely unexceptionable to, any portion of
the voters. TheiDemocracy was rent into
factions—and although both wings of the
party acquiesced in the action of the mass
meeting held in the Academy of Music,
called by such eminently respectable Neu
as Major John 0. James and Henry 1).
Welsh, and adopted and supported its
nominees, yet there was a Kilkenny-cat
feeling prevailing', which prevented cor
dial and systematic effort for its success.
The true inwardness of the Democratic
trouble here is Tildenism. Sam Randall
is the leader of the branch which factors
the sage of Gramercy Park, while Wal
lace and his friends are bitterly opposed
to his pretensions. There are
,two sepa
rate and distinct Democratic organiza
tions in this city, both claiming to be reg-
ular, and though both were ostensibly
and actively supporting the same ticket,
the result shows the value of organization
and cordiality, and also . that a house di
vided a,aiust itself must fall. Those whowho
talk about "machines" and find fault be
'cause there are "leaders" and "work
ers" in a political party, may learn a val
uable lesson from the fearful catastrophe
which has befallen the Dennicratic party
in this city. , That party had nominees of
unexceptionable character—but it had
two beads, and consequently an inert or
paralyzed body. With divided counsels
camez•weakness and almost „annihilation.
The Reiciblicans received 'the news
their great victories Tuesday night with
quiet manifestations of satisfaction. The
crowds about the diftCyent places where
the return were receiveil and announced
were immense, but good natured. tonie
of the more enthusiastic parade,d the'
streets with usual blare of brass- instru
ments and the explosion of pyrotechnics.
It.is a curious custom in Philadelphia, of
tllowing the boys to build bon-fires on

that for several days previous a box or

PHILADELPHIA, ov. 6, Iti7G.--To the
Republicans of Pennsylvania i The State
Committee tenders to every RdPublican in
the-State, and to all others who aided in
securing the victory of November -ith,
thanks and congratulations.-' You have
given the greatest
.majority ever cast in
Pennsylvania for a Republican candidate,
savelliat given to General Grant iu 172;
and you have done thisin a campaign the
seeming apathy of which at first alarmed
the timid and the donbtful. You have
.given Pennsylvania a proud place in the
phalanx, of Stateti, remanding that our
revival prosperity shall not be destroyed ;
that our currency shall not be debased ;
that the public credit shall not be tarnish
ed, and that the rights and privileges of
the citizens'shall not be crushed out. All
this you have done by your stern protest
against continuing in power the Demo
cratic party, which assails prosperity by
collusion with foreign capital to break
down American labor and home indus
tries; that seek to destroy a sound finan
cial policy, and substitute a crazy theory
Of paper currency ; that prostrates public
credit through State, corporate and muni
cipal. repudiation, thereby leading cer
tainly to the repudiation of our:national
debt, and that suppresses by violence in
the southern ~titges those rights of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happines,with
out security for which govt nments are
contemptible and existence is a curse:
By your voice these wrongs and dangers
to the nation have been averted, and the
rights-of our citizens shall be redeemed:
F. C. lIOOTEN, Chairman.
