THE BEUSGATE ELECTION. The delegate election of the Republican party, which toot place yesterday, exciteffa degree of interest never before manifested in a primary election in this city. So general is the desire to break up the old clique of amaU politicians who have lived so long upon the votes of the Republican party,that a large class o' citizens, never Been at the polls on euch occasions, came out and voted a reform ticket. In many precincts this excellent movement was successful, and \ the most strenuous efforts to preserve the old monopoly cf power were defeated by handsome majofi ities. In other cases the attempt at reform ■was defeated by the most unblushing fraud, and the expressed will of the respectable citizens of these localities set at defiance, al- most without an attempt at concealment. A single instance of this “Ring" management will suffice to . show the manner and extent of its operations. In the Fourth Precinct of the Eighth Ward the Republican party has long been manipu lated by one or'two men who do-not hesitate to boast that they cany the Ward in their pockets. At this election it was determined by a number of respectable citizens, not ac customed to mingle in political movements, to do their own voting, instead of having it done for them as ' usual. A large number of Republican voters, including most .of the substantial and responsible men of the precinct, entered into this movement, doing their duty as good citizens at the polls. At the beginning of the election it was known that the judge and both inspectors were all on one side, and all directly interested in the success of the “Ring” ticket. The Registry list, though re- peatedly'applied for by respectable citizens; had been withheld from inspection and was eobn found to have been so arranged as to exclude many of the oldest and best known voters of the precinct, while it included or was said to include, every voter who presented a “Ring” ticket. Nearly twenty well-known voters, some of whom had voted in the precinct for more than a dozen years, were rejected by the ar bitrary decision of the ‘‘Ring,” and all offers to vouch for the proposed voters were con temptuously rejected. Not; A single “Ring” voter was rejected, and in many cases these votes were passed in and received, with a re fusal to give name and residence to the win dow committee, the refusal being backed up by police officers who were active in the contest A careful tally was, however, kept, and as the anti-Ring voters were personally known, and presented, in most cases, open tickets, it whs' ascertained at the close of the poll, that about 120 votes had been cast for reform, against rather less than half that num ber for the “Ring." Such a result was highly creditable to the Republican voterß of the Eighth ’Ward, and showed how strong is the determination to sustain the sound principles set forth in the address of the Union League. But it is an old adage among a certain class of politi cians, that it is the counting and not the voting that determines elections, and so it proved in this case. A number of tickets had been prepared by-the “Ring” masters, in close imitation of . the reform ticket, and when the result of tbe election was announced it was found that a sufficient number of these spurious tickets had been substituted for the genuine ones to change the vote from its actual figures, and to declare a majority of about twenty for the “Ring,” instead of the real majority of about fifty or sixty for the reform ticket. The process by which this was effected is a very simple one, when there is no one to interfere' with its manipulation. We have cited this single case in full, for two reasons. First, because it- is due to the citizens of the Eighth Ward that there Should be a full exposure of the way in which they have thus been set at nought, and in order that they may know how to act in future elections. And, second, because it is simply a strong illustration of the imperative necessity of p. -adical reform in our munici pal politics. The tactics of these Eighth Ward managers were probably adopted in many other precincts, and many delegates are sitting in the several conventions, to-day, ■who owe their seats to just such management as this. Under the new Rales of the party there is no time to put the evidence into shape, to contest seats fraudulently obtained; but as nothing can pos sibly be so bad for a party or for the com munity as a continuance of such practices as these, it is best that they should be openly known and denounced. : No. temporary dis advantage which inay result from such expo sures to be considered ‘ for a moment, iu comparison with the supreme necessity . of preserving the great Republican party as pure in itspractices as it is in its prin ciples. WHAT IS A KING 1 The word “Ring” has obtained a very popular UEe in the vocabulary of American politics, but it ia far more widely used than understood. It is very commonly taken to inehn nothing lessor more than the whole Jody of office-holders, and this ia a great mistake. It by no means follows that an office-holder belongs to a “ Ring," although * long connection with ofik; kiviy opt tc jresnlt in membership in that abac it intangi ble and indefinable association. A “Jling" is difficult to define specifically, becauseitsbattpenentparts:aroso irregula* in their propormsmand in their relations to each other. But tOT&lca which it expresses is a very distinct not always bo easy to say whether this o&hat man belongs to this or that “Ring," for Of. the “Ring” are based upomrSe guerilla method of warfare. Its members combipip when sofiae general end is to be gained, aid - separate when individual selfishness is the predominant motive. They apportion the of fices, and balance the emoluments,. and ex change forceß and trade votes with each other, and carry on this petty, business with a total disregard of the will 6f the peo ple whom they pretend to serve. The “Ring’’ in a large city is composed of many little rings, and its , members : are bound together by the cohesive power of a common political Corruption. The basis of “Rings” in politics is corruption. Men who receive office with clean hands and honorable principles; who are content, with their honest pay and are occupied with doing their work well, have no fellowship with “Rings,"and it is a very inconvenient, thing for the. “Ring” to have one or two such office-holders among them. There is all the difference imaginable be- tweenmen'who make politics a? profession and pursuit, and men who make it a trade. The ambition of the former is a noble and honorable one; that of the latter is despicable and base. In the contest of parties and in the struggle for lucrative offices, there iB an amount of temptation before. which very ■ well-meaning men often succumb, and when they do, they seek the association-and adopt the practices of the mere traders in politics, and so the “Ring” gets its recruits. From the petty “Ring,” which plots and; lies and works to control the nominations of a precinct or a whrd, up through all the grades of magnitude Until the great combina tions, like the infamous “Whisky Ring,” na tional in-fite scope and exhaustless in its .re 80urces, iB reached, one principle pervades all. The essential aim and object is to achieve, by‘secret combination and corrup tion, personal advantages which the people, in the free exercise of their rights and pow ers, would never dream of bestowing. Such a system cannot long endure in American politics. The people are too free to be long bandied about - by a few cun ning, selfish, unprincipled politi cians: Whenever a “Ring” becomes notorious for its corruption, the healthy tone of .public sentiment will rebel against it and break it down. Its growth in extent and power is gradual,’.and it may be long tol erated, but its destruction, when it reaches its culminating point, is often a very Bwift one. Wise men will not long rely upon “Rings” for preserving their places in public life. They will know that the headjjnd heart of the people are sound, and Will not very long commit power to those who abuse it in the smallest particular. In the long run it will be found that the people will sustain their “good and faithful servants,” and will repu- diate every man who lowers politics-to a mere trade and who relies for his strength upon th e mtrigues of a corrupt “Ring.” THE CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA. Ohe ef the duties devolving upon Mr. Bur- lingame during his sojourn in the Western hemisphere is to make a careful inquiry into the alleged abuses of the coolie trade,and into tfie condition of the coolies held in servitude in the West India Islands. While a steady tide of emigration has, during late years, flowed from China in several directions over the globe, the exclusive policy of that Empire, in separating itself from other nations and being without representation among them, has left its straying subjects unprotected and liable to persecution. This fact is demonstrated more offensively in the case of the coolies, who are held in a slavery that is more or less involun tary; but the condition of the Chinese in Cali fornia also bears witness to it in a manner that reflects no credit upon American civilization. To the, dißabilitieß under which these latter j. labor Mr. Buriiugatae and his colleagues will i do well to turn their attention before leaving ; the United Stateß. Certainly they will not j wholly perform their duty as representatives of the Emperor of China and of the Chinese people, if they neglect at least an attempt to reform the abuseß inflicted upon these emi- j .grants upon our Pacific coast. i The position of the Chinese in California is nearly analagous fo that of the negroes in the South. They are the hewers of wood and drawers of water. They form the laboring population. They are found in the fields,the workshops, the mines, and in families as do mestic servants. They are orderly, law abiding, faithful,'lndu'stribusj and efficient. The Californians do not find fault with their conduct in any respect, but they maltreat them,and compel them to social and political degradation simply because they are Chinese. The newspapers of California and neighbor ing States constantly contain accounts of cruelties practiced against these men in- every imaginable way; It is not rare to hear of their being hooted at, stoned and beaten in the streets of San Francisco, where most of the magistrates have determined that assault and battery cannot be committed against a Chinaman. - If the offence is at all indictable.it must come under the head of cruelty to ani mals. They not only do not enjoy the privi- leges __ of citizens, but they do not have their rights as men. They are regarded as pariahs, as outcasts, in whose welfare society has no interest, and to whom the doctrine of the equality of all men before Divine and human law has no application. The only legitimate fault that can be found with them is that they adhere to their Pagan worship, and practise heathen rites in tfiem temples. But this is hardly a sufficient reason for the ill treatment accorded them. Even a Chinaman cannot be kicked into Christianity, and the conduct of the - Christians among whom their lot is cast iB not calculated to impress them favorably with the beneficent influences of true religion upon its adherents. Muscular Christianity is a good thing, perhaps, hut the missionary who tries to make converts by striking from the shoulder will probably fail. The fact is that-the system of outrages practiced against • these men is only another development of that ignoble trait of human nature which impels men to tread upon those who are be | nealh them, and who are weak and defence | less. It is the same spirit that has, at differ ent times, impc)!,etl peree cation of some class; j: !er it; >]. v-Xti-v; O S T>'-: s\, v > -‘;5-; ■ i-i , ' > v ' to- ■ ■< . eveninubulletin-'-philadelpiita, Wednesday; JtmE ioyises. orof some religi6.ua se{:t,inevery,couotry in the. world, a 'disposition which j finds , its latest illustration in the’ ill treatment of negroes in the Booth, and to nearly as great an extent in the North. • . Precisely how Minister Burlingame is to bet about remedying thh^evilit is: ,difficult to tell. It seems hardly likefly that he will ob tain the cordial cd-bperation of the present Administration: The bitterest enemies and the most relentless persecutors bf the Chinese are the ignorant whites; and , these are, of course, the bone and. sinew of the Demo ciatic parly, and. the most enthusiastic sup porters of Mr. Andrew Johnson. To secure the adherence of tiffs class the President must bold the same views regarding; the Chinese, as he does regarding the negro. Considering that the grievoußnesa of the latter’s offence lies in his color, it ib difficult to perceive how Mr. Johnson can bd more considerate of the former, whose complexion is only of a different shade. Yellow is not more virtuous than black, and a woolly-head is not neces sarily lees capable of. understanding the duties of citizenship than a head draped with a pig tail. But as an American citizen has been chosen ;as the representative of a great many millions of thesepagans,' and has accepted the office as an honorable one, and as Mr. Johnson has received him cordially, and with him the chiefs of this very despised rape, we do not see that he can object seriously to the Chinese; either because of their complex ion or their faith. If Chin Hang: is an honored guest of the nation, at Washington, there can be n'6 consistency in spitting upon worthy WaDg-Chang in San Francisco, merely because he belongs to the same race, and has identical almond eyes, and worships the same absurd idol; - Perhaps, if Minister Burlingame examines the matter ciosely, : he may find that the only cure fbr the California trouble is naturalize- n fieri and the right of suffrage. If these de spised Chinese are admitted to the privileges of .citizenship, persecution will cease. A class which is even an inconsiderable political power, will always receive kind treatment. In this country men are apt to perceive vir tue where there are votes. Mr. Burlingame is in a position to demand this, or. any other reasonable means of protection for his Mon-* golian constituents in this country. Citizenship may not be the. cure; but whatever it is, it is quite certain that the present embassy possess the power to apply it, at least par tially. All the nations of the earth are anxious to avail themselves of the present opportunity to establish profitable commer cial relations withthe Chinese people. , The threat’ to suspend negotiations unless the rights of emigrant Chinamen are guaranteed, will surely produce a remedy. Men’s hearts have often been touched through their pockets, and in thiß instance, the packet is peculiarly sensitive, because our brethren on the Pacific coast expect to gain much from the .increased facilities for trading with China, which Mr. Burlingame’s mission will afiord. Lovers of true art can scarcely consider it a calamity that the contumacy of Woolley has jeoparded the production of a statue of Abraham Lincoln by Miss Vlnnie Ream. That gushing young lady,through the agency of youth, winning manners and some flatter ing portrait busts of members of Congress, succeeded in wheedling the national legisla ture out of a contract for a statue of Mr. Lin coln. This paper protested at the time against entrusting such a work to a young, inexpe rienced girl, who had never made a statue in her life. , Similar protests were made from other quarters, but with no effect- There is now a prospect that the work may never be executed. The young woman ought to be paid, liberally for the time and labor she has given it, and the contract can then be cancelled. There are already enough of deformities in bronze and marble at Wash ington, and if there is to be- a new statue erected there of Mr. Lincoln, it ought to be from a model chosen after competition has been invited among all the beßt American sculptors. No one can claim that Miss Ream can make a great statue because she has made one or two tolerable busts. Arkansas is waiting the consent of An drew Johnson to her re-admission to the Union. Tie bill for her reconstruction has been passed through both houses of Congress for several days; but it remains in Mr. John son’s hands, with a strong probability that be will never sign it His conceit and obstinacy have delayed reconstruction at every step taken by Congress, and yet the Southern people pretend to consider him their best friend.

In Mr. Seward’s note to the Prussian Minister, he ex pressed his regrets at being placed in each a po sition os to be compelled to aak the Pmssian Government: to recall' Baron : Kusserow, and manifest its disapproval of his conduct in participating in the duel. In stead of censuring Kusserow he has been re-, called and transferred to the Court of St James,' and promoted to a higher position than he filled in Washington. This action of the Prussian government has caused considerable comment In diplomatic cir cles, and the motives which. caused Kus'erow’s promotion are actively discussed. ■ Fire at Sorlolb. Fortress Monroe; Jnne 8.-A large fire broke out In Norfolk at 4 o’clock on Sunday morning, In the boot and shoe store of Messrs. L. L. Brickhousc <fcCo., at the head of Market Square. It was first discovered in the second story of .the build. Ing by a negro man, who gave the alarm, and the fire department promptly responded,hat so rapidly did the flames spread that it was found impos sible to save any of the stock, and it required the almost efforts of the firemen to keep the flames from spreading. The third story of the building was occupied by Mr. Walters as aDogncrrean gallery, which, with the entire stock; is a com plete loss, there being no insurance on It Messrs. Philips & Bell, one door west, had their 6tock considerably damaged by water. It consists prin cipally of trimmings ana fancy goods, and no es timate of their lobs can be made until an inven tory Is taken. Their loss, .however. Is fully cov ered by insurance. The adjoining building on tbe cast side Is un occnplcd; has been undergoing repairs for some time past, and escaped entirely, both from fire and water. Messrs. Brickbonse <fc Co. (had a heavy stock of goods in their tine on hand, esti mated at 822,000, which, with the exception of perhaps 82,000 worth, Is a complete loss. They are insured to the amount of ©if ,000 In the com panies represented by Mr; J. C Denting and Messrs. Btewart & Deye, of .Norfolk. The origin of the fire is, as yet, a mystery, but it is presumed to have been tbe work of an incendiary. Mr. Ferre, one of the partners,, was the last to leave the store on Saturday night, and before doing so, took every precaution to'gaard against accidents. The fire department was promptly on the spot, and bnt for their united'efforts there would have been a large loss of property.

A committee appointed for - the purpose waited npon Mr. Myite and Informed him of'his renominatlon,'whereupon, he ap peared before the Convention and addressed it as follows: ■ Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Conecntioh;— This is my fourth nomination to Congress, an honor of which any man might feel proud. In accepting. it, I desires through you once more to render my giatefnl acknowl edgment to the people who have bestowed upon me ench generons confidence. Tbe first two occasions we were in tho midst of a fearful rebellion. On onr part tho war was - for the preservation of tho Government—to Uphold law—to maintain tho cardinal American .principle, that rower springs from tho people, ana vindi cate their - will as expressed at the ballot box. For "this an almost countless host—men and women-mnde hcrolo sacrifice. For this a half miDion noMe hearta lie *neath the sod which a nation's tears still : - bedew, and a country saved, should forever strew with flowers. The loaders of ono great party Raid tho war was ' •Wfailnre,”butthe loyal masseaspnmedthothonght They raised fresh levies against treason. TheVgathered fresh strength from disaster. No obstacle was too powerful tor them to-oyercome."Slavery, the cause of the conflict, Btnrd in tho way of success. Abraham Lincoln—after wards fts. moat illHitroUa martyr—spoke the: word; onr advancing columns swept it from the : land.- and victory at last camo to us hand In hand with frto- - dom. The record of the Bepuhlicen party in that time ot ’ trial is one continued aspiration for the cause in which our bravo defenders triumphed, and tho greatest privilege of m>; life-given me by yotir preferenco—is to have formed part of that record. Tho last two yearahowover, have been scarcely less important Since the war dosed the people’s representatives havo endeavored constantly to erystaUze its lessens into law, for tbe perpetuation of American liberty: but at every tnm they weredelajed by the.criminal defiance of a single man, who, in the inter. - . cst of conquered .traitors, and with a most unholy ambi tion, proclaimed his will supreme A fret) people in a. just caueo need never fear snarmed enemy. Governments have more often been sapped by the encroachments of a, wily ruler. The embattled dead would indeed have died in vain, if wo crushed the aristocracy which planned tbe Bebelllon only to surrender ,to the monarchical grasp of an Insidious President. To assert the people’s rights, to defend republican , institutions . was simply a. duty; and when, at last, Andrew Johnson wil fully broke the plainest provisions of a statute, we should have been false as well as craven-not to have exercised' the high constitutional prerogative of Impeachment. His: few months of olficial power are saved by a single vote, blithe stands convicted before the civilized world, and the slndent of our liis’ory will glean fresh inspiration, from the page which records that tbe American Houbo and Senate, by an overwhelming majority, fixed the brand of a nation’s condemnation npon the violator of law, even though he filled the highest station in the republic. The near future Is bright with promise. In less than a mdnth most of the rebellious states will have tbeir representatives in Congress, despite the votes which pretended Democratic friends cast against their admission. AVhat we Want Is peace. It wllfceme with that reconstructed Union which Andrew Johnson’s long’ struggle bos been powerless to prevent. The great captain of the age; Ulysses S. Grant, faithful as he is brave, and a Kepnblican in his every to-' pulse, recognizes this truth. Ho led our gallant soldiers to victory in the field, and a grateful people have once more chosen him their Btandnrd-bearer, giving him a worthy associate in the stainless young - statesman who has won the plaudits of the country. Grant and Colfax, are inscribed upon our banners, and above them liberty and justice. Who can doubt our triumph? Who can question that peace will follow, and a prosperity under which, with already lightened burthens, the industries or our vast domain will wakcnintonow life and power ? I congratulate you, gentlemen, on this pleasing prospect,, and once more thank you for this, unanimous renomi- nation. ■ The following resolutions were adopted- The Republican Convention of the Third Connersionab D'strict in presenting Hon. Leonard Myers acaln for tho euffriSee of the People, Resolved, That hi* coarse in Oongreßs has met the wishes of his constituents, and deserves their endorse ment again at tho polls.
