IiaIIEPUBLICAN NOWEEN-11110ROUG There is, no use attempting to conceal or shake light of the fact that the defeat, of the Re publican party in this city, at the last election, Was owing to two principal mama One was the pernicious system of choosing delegates :to the nominating conventions, and the other was the selection of nominees who, in some instances, were not satisfaethry to the party, and who consequently failed to receive, its cordial .support. If Republican princi ples, t • untrammeled by unsatisfactory nominations, had been on trial, the result of the election wotild have been widely different; for a city that has made such huge sacrifices in the cans% of ;Union and loyalty would not have failed to stand by those principlemt a time when a false F.xecutive was endeavoring to undo the work that had been acsomplished• with so large an dutlay. But an unsat isfactory ticket begat a lack of confi dence, indifference and lukewarmness, a con dition of things which the' cunning and watchful foe was not . slow ~to take ad vantage o£ • There are many good easy souls of Tfepub licans who, while deploring a defeat, put themselves to no trouble to ascertain . its cause, and who trouble themselves.. still less to provide a remedy for existing evils. For the information of these trouble -fearing people who are willing to let "I dare not wait upon I would," we will give some facts relative to, the rotten -borough system that has grown lapin the Republican party, and leave every reader to judge ,fir himself.of the necessity foi reform. There are in the consolidated city 28 wards and 263 election divisions or precincts. The party discipline requires that :tall lioMkaatirig conventions ,there shall be a delegate fpr each division, There is in each Ward a Ward anOefatlee, or an assumed Ward association,which too often forms itself into a close corporation and runs the tarty machine to wait the private purposes of the politicians by,trade, who are apt secure the control of these • organizations. As the Wards and pre cincts are represented without regard to the party strength therein, the consequence is a minority rule, the disastrous working of which is sometimes seen. We have before us the figares_of the vote by precincts of the election of 1866,and we will take them for our data, although a stronger case could be made out from the vote of 1867, it' the figures were at band. Thus in one preEinct of the Fourth Ward 21 Republican votes were cast, while in a single precinct in a strong ReptiblicanWard 450 votes were polled. the one case; 450 Republican voters had a single representative in the nominating con vention, while in the other case 21 voters had a delegate all to thentselites. In 28 precincts of the city there is an average of only 68 Republican voters, while the Fourteenth Ward, which polled 9,f)93 Republican votes, has but 8 delegates, an average of 824 constituents for each dele gate, of 303 more than there were in one pre cinct of the Fourth Ward. The Ward last named cast 896 Republican votes and it had 10 delegates in the nominating Convention. The Fourteenth Ward cast 2,593 Republican votes at the same election, and it had but S delegates to the nominating Convention! The Seventeenth Ward polled 1,388 Republi um Totes and it bad 10 delegates; the Tenth Ward polled 2,572 votes and it had 9 delegates! The precincts are divided ac cording to .population, and the consequence ie that under the existing system a large portion of the delegates in the Republican iaonthaating conventions actually represent a Depocratic constituency, so far as numbers sqe`concerned. It is a curious commentary upon this dele gate system that it makes it the interest of the party wire-workers in weak Republican pre cincts to keep them weak anit -- tinrive • but a small. "latplay family" who may divide among themselves all the party pap and pick ings. Thus, in a precinct,that has but a score or two of Republican voters,only one-half, or lesii, of whom, perhaps, attend Ward and-pre enact meetings, they can Elect themselves to city, lecislative and senatorial conventions,put thenatelvee on Committees of Superintendence, and divide the crumbs of party comfort :Arnowg a limited few, provided stronger dis %nett', where there is less selfishness and less trading in politics,carry the city for the party • ticket. It is South Carolina claiming an, equal representation with Massachusetts in a *publican National,• ConventiOn, and with the forlorn hope of the party in the Palmetto state •discouraging all accessions to their ranlyylest it should lessen the chances of the few for the collectorships and postmaster ships that may be coating about. Iris always easier to point out evils than it is to provide remedies for them ; but the present system is so manifestly at fault that it would not require the wisdom of a. Solo mon to suggest reforms. One plan that has been proposed seems to possess obvious ad yantages over the present bad system, and • with, a careful elaboration of its details much good would probably result to the cause of Re publicanikm. 'the main feature of this plan is the restrictittg of the number of delegates one from each Ward, and with the, pri vilege of hiving an additional delegate for • every (say) three hundred Republic= votes e ast *the election last preeeding. nett airg *Ps to great fairose this . generni O s i s i "ad ' its details are susceptible of easy ,'her *at least one thing ces "4.4l?,i(*lii ire not at home in . 1; 'Abe thetitha pd 0 1101 e* * 1 114 .*,1 41 i-k l i °' +/*/t t • Mg.** - dilit#:lo 4 4 ittett*.l4oo l C 4 satairioee "4bir.er/40botrsP1***,...4 1 4m if) loudly ettlie*lo4.o ita l treiieli on of thetlis- , aster4,4*;*iiet*Ontii44; 4 4:lialk ol;d64o, no tiWtenlk.tiell4ft, r iii''Ati4 4l * . # 4oll-1' KPOIAM 'llk, el'ffOk / Niittlittgril , : 4 P - i -'s I •!

'All boys, are ,trained froui their infOcy to , make, this nee of broken bits of looking-glass, and as they greiw older opera-glasses are 'imiv . ersaly. used :to stare modest women:out `of ceuntentmce: Indeed, we remember tb,'e Case, not quilted by Judge Ludlow, of , a gentietman Who took his opera= glass to church with 'him, in order tp atudy the full effect of the preacher's exprcesion. Boit hi the caSe,tried yesterday 'the plaintiff testified that upOn looking otlt of her window she was suddenly dazzled by an intense light which deprived , her of sight for several minutes.. As soon as she recovered from the pain, her husband requested her to try it again, wbich,did not, indicate that conjugal tenderness which should exist between man and wife. She complied with the request, however, and again came under the Woking and opera-glass battery. The operators appear to ..have been scientific opticians, and had so carefully , studied the angles of light that although the opera-glass man was hidden behind a Chimney, with his instru ment, he managed, with the aid of the looking-glass in, the hands of his colleague, to direct the operatic reflection across the street and into the plaintiff's window. The charge of Judge Ludlow, in this novel case, is an interesting one. Atter defining an assault to be "an intention by violence to .do injury to another," the Judge passed on to the discussion of the question of battery. He acknowledged the novelty of the point of law, but solved it upon the theory that all material things, no matter how ethereal, are substantial, and may be used for purposes of assault and battery. Blows inflicted by light, heat, electricity, sound, vapor, and the like, are as actionable as those delivered by clubs, fists or pistols. This theory is undoubtedly a sound one. Oliver Wendell Holmes, in one of his poems, says: "And silence, like a poultice, came To heal the blows of sound," and the expression "coup de soled,"—a stroke of the sun, is familiar to everybody. We also speak of "chunks of wisdom," and "volleys of abuse," but these last are imma- terial. Judge Ludlow's decision of this interesting case was approved by the jury, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff. The lesson is a very usetul one, and applies to a wide, circle of offenders. In the first place, there is a caution to the fair 'sex that there is such a - thing as - too much looking-glass. In the next place there is a •caution to tbe, unfair sex that there is a limit to the use of opera-glasses. Quiet, modest women may go, hereafter, to the Academy of Music and invoke the protection of the • police against the assaults and batteries which rude fops have been accustomed to commit with impunity, through levelled lorgnettes. Then we have a protection against the blast of orchestral trumpets and peripatetic - hand organs, and unmerciful sextons, who pelt and stifle us with noxious ecclesiastic heat and gas. The martyr Coffey suffers at the hands of the law, but the public will rejoice that by his martyrdom society and its manners wil be improved GOT His ItEWARD. Surgeon A. L. Gihon, the informer in the recent Churt-Martial at Portsmouth, N. IL, has been promptly rewarded for his honor able services to President Johnson. Natur ally anxious to get away from the associa tion of the gentlemen of the Navy, under wtose contempt for his conduct he cannot but feel very uncomfortable, Mr. Welles has given him an asylum on the other side of the globe, and assigned him to the superinten dence of the erection of naval hospitals in China. This is very fair on the Secretary's part. .The informer is always entitled to his pay, and the officer of the Navy who has suc ceeded in depriving a poor 10,209 Second- Assiitant Engineer of his pay and rank should not go unrewarded for the noble deed. In addition to the favor thus shown to Sur geon Oihon by the Navy Department, it is proposed to pat him on the footina of an Admiral, by extending to him the privilege of taking a portion of his family with him to China--a privilege to which no officer below the grade of Admiral is entitled.: It will not, however, be safe for naval officers, gene rally, to adopt the Uihon plan of winning favor at Washington. , In these days, things change so rapidly that, in at very little while,' it may come to pass that an officer will. gain nothing by abusing and denouncing Congreos, or even by reporting the private and un guarded remarks of brother-offieers.: Gillen .has,heen well paid, but it might not .pay as well I r other officers to follow his example. 1.....--------........- Th Mexican people have decided in favor of a constitutional civil government. Presi dent Juarez and General Porfirio Diaz,one of the most popular of Mexican chictlalus, have come before the people, the one as the repre sentative of free institutions controlled by the votes of the people, and the other as the leader of a movement. which aimed at estab lishing militari rule with Diaz as Dictator. The system adopted Was'tbat' by which the ,people of the united States' elect their Fred ' dent, and out of two hundred and forty-seven electors chosen, more than"two-thirds are in favor of Juarez and the' Republic, 111 view of this, and of the' fact that the result was effected without any Organization of Jua rez friends, or expenditure 'of: fun& .behalf, it may be taken for grattM4it the Mexican people have finally det*ltiodi to' build up the structure of a flee` Oil stable' government, and as an evidence of t,iliitekto , nest sineerity, have . placed in power airaye ,Juarez, the mante whor4 above hall .

He says he will then hear and at tend to anything bearing upon the case, but that he will not remain in Richmond after the meeting of the U. S. Supreme Court in December.

Ile was discharged from the Almshouse on the 2d of October, • and on election day ; voted in the seventh division of the Fourth Ward, and then attempted to vote in the seventh division of the Second Ward, when he was ar rested. The defence was a technical one, and consisted of an argument that it had not been es tablished that the man voted because the contents "of his ticket were not known. Judge Ludlow "reserved the question whether It was necessary for the Commonwealth to show how the man voted in order to sustain the charge in the bill of indictment. The jury must be satisfied that the prisoner was not a legal voter in the seventh di vision of the Fourth Ward; that he presented himself at an electionpoll; that being an illegal voter, he did cast a vote. Jury out. In the case of John Smith, convicted of illegal voting, but recommended to mercy, the Court sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of 4520 and to undergo 30 days' imprisonment.

From Weehingtain, Mead Pe:Tacit to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin 1 WASHINGTON,. October 4.—The Retrenchment Corninittee having refused to accept the report of Mr. B.M. Clarke,Chief of the Printing Bureau of the Treasury Department, in lien of a regular examination of that bureau, Clarke has evinced a disposition to interfere with the ope rations of the Committee. He is neither willing to submit his books and records for inves tigation, nor to give satisfactory answers to questions propounded to him. His conduct has only resulted in strengthening the deter - 0: nation of the Committee to make a thorough and complete investigation of the con dition and operations of the bureau, and to facilitate the work, Clarke will, un doubtedly, be suspended by the Secretary of the Treasury, as it is learned that the Committee hive recommended it. The manner in which Clarke has acted towards the Committee has aroused strong suspicions that affairs are not as they should be in his bureau. The Committee began, this morning, the examination of clerks who serve under Clarke. Owing to the non-arrival of General Butler, the Committee to inquire into the assassination of President Lincoln held no meeting to-day. A letter, from General Butler states that it will be impossible for him to commence work here for two weeks yet:---Uutil , he—arrivks there will bo no meeting of the Committee. The Ordinance Committee was wit out a quo rum also, to-day, only General Schenck and Senator Cameron being present. Senator Drake is expected to-night, he having telegraphed that he was on the way. It is not known whether General Logan will be present or not, he not having been heard from. A number of witnesses are here from Balti more, to testify before the sub-Judiciary Com mittee. The following important letter, addressed by Chief Justice Chase to Judge Underwood, rela .the to the trial of Jefferson Davis, settles the existing dispute as to whether the Chief Justice will preside: giWAQIIINGTON, Oct. 22. d, 1867.—0 n reflection, I think it best that you advise the District-Attor ney, Mr. Chandler, that I will join you in hold ing court at Richmond on the 13th of November, if any important busirreli is to be transacted. Mr. Chandler, I think, should notify thebounsel of Jefferson Davis of this, in , order that he may appear Xrthat time and take his trial, if he sees fit, as his bail was taken for his appear ance on the fourth Wednesday of November. He is not, it is true, bound to appear earlier, but as it will be impossible for me to be present, except during the first week of the term,the term of the Supreme Court commencing on the following Wednesday, it may be that Mr. Davis, and his counsel will prefer the trial to take place at the earlier date. It is un derstood that they with that the Chief Justice may be present. "Yours very truly, "S. P. Ginsm "To Hon. J. C. Underwood, District Judge." Mee at Albion, Illichigan.
