THE ELECTIONS OX TUESDAY.
OPINIONS OF T&E PRESS.
The following extracts will give the spirit
of the press with reference to Tuesday's
elections :
THE NEW YORK "TIMEs"
The result of the elections yesterday in
this aud other Eastern States will not be
a surprise to anybody, except, perhaps, to
a few tcrso:is at Washington, and it cer
tainly will not surprise any of our readers,
who have been kept tolerably well informed
as to the causes which inevitably tended to
produce the present over the w of the lie
publican party. All that could be done
honorably to avert this defeat has been
done by us, but since the last Presidential
election, many of the party leaders have
been deaf alike to advice and remonstrance.
They have apparently believed that the
people would quietly, submit to anything
and everything, and that the party which
they represented was indestructible. Noth
ing short of the events which we record
this morning could have opened their eyes
to the truth.
The great and signal defeats of yesterday
virtually began last year. The panic did
much injure the Republican j arty, but the
effects of that disaster might have been
greatly lessened had a wise course been
adopted by Congress in relation to the
finances. All through last winter we
begged Republican Congressmen to do
something, and to do it quickly, and we
pointed out the certain consequences of their
mistakes and delays. In return for perform
ing that unpleasant duty we were simply
told that we were '"traitors" to the Repub
lican part-, and that we should be instantly
stumped out of existence. The mismanage
ment at the Treasury, the Sanborn frauds,
and the general series of blunders in nearly
all the public departments were in the
meantime causing incalculable mischief.
The first two nominations for chief justice
were shocking blunders, and disgusted the
whole people.
The administration was making enemies
and losing friends every day. The party
was handed over to the Platts and liutlers.
And just when the disappointment and
irritation of the people Ivcanie most mark
ed, the paper at Washington, which has
come to be known as a mere spcakingtube
of the White House, was set to work cry
ing out for .General Grant for a '-third
term." What could any sane nun antici
pate from such astounding folly except the
over whelming defeats of yesterday ? In
this State a Republican majority of 55,0:10
has been turned into a Republican defeat
of 1L00), a change of fJ7,0R votes. The
gjt.tlemen who have had the Republican
parry in charge during the past two years
will 1 e obliged to admit to-day that they
have nearly strangled it.
It would be useless to dwell on thee
obvious lessons except in the hope that thc'
will be thoughtfully pondered at Washing
ton and elsewhere. If the greatest party
ever known in this country is to be saved
from utter destruction two years hence, and
if it is not to pass from history disgraced
as well as defeated the leaders and managers
must moke a thorough change in their
policy. It would be still wiser to change
many of the leaders themselves. Fortunately
the people have disposed of Butler as they
would have swept away some other
prominent persons, in both House and
Senate, if their votes could have been
brought to bear directly upon them. There
is yet time to prevent a still more crushing
blow in ISTt). but to do that will tax the
combined efforts of the best minds in the
Republican party. The opposition will now
have an opportunity of producing a policy
of their own, and they will find it harder
to do that successfully than to attack the
measures of Republicans. We shall
probably witness the development of the
ideas which were put forward in the plat
forms of Ohio and Indiana, and the effect
of that upon our entire financial system
cannot fail to be very great. The West
and South always controlled the Democratic
party, and they will continue to control it.
What these sections of the country
demand now is inflation, combined with
tmrtia 1 repudiation. Whether the people
will deliberately approve of that policy
when it is submitted to tUem wituout any
dis-ruise still remains to be ascertained.
When we see the great city of Ncv York
deliberately voting to be put back under
the rule of Tammany, it must lc admitted
tliat even the cause of common honesty
docs not appear to be highly ipular. W e
probably have before us a stormy era, in
which 'many questions which the people
imagined were finally settled will be dealt
with anew,aud iu a way calculated to sur
prise the world. The legislation which
has been carried out r-ince the war, on
questions of finance, reconstruction, aud
the nc'TO, and the constitutional amend
mentsCof the same, period, are not beyond
the reach of a Democratic majority in
Congress and the country. The history
of the rebellion and its consequences is by
no means completed. For the sale of the
country, it is to be hoj-ed that the Demo
crats will use their victory in a spirit of
moderation and prudent statesmanship.
We doubtless see to-day the Democratic
Presidential candidate for 1870; and if
the Republican party is not conducted with
greater wisdom and good fortune during
the next two years than it has been during
the last two, Mr. Tiiden is the most
probable successor of Gen. Grant.
THE NEW YORK "HERALD"
Has a forcible article, from which wc clip
the annexed extract : '
d-iK-rrd GnDt, who led the, R -publican
party into power two years ago with the
largest majority, perhaps, ever given to a
President, may feel this morning, as he
reads the returns of the November elec
tions, that lie has been like the prodigal
son, and has squandered a precious political
inheritance. Whatever the causes, the
result is decisive. New York, which has
been anchored so firmly to the Republican
party, now swings out in pronounced and
irretrievable revolt. Even the splendid
popularity of General Dix could not save
thi 'lilmliilctivitli-iri
This election' is not merely a victory, but
a revolution. The United States pro
nounces in favor of conservative purposes.
Wc are weary of war and its bloody instruc
tions. The practical lessous to be learned
cannot fail to be of the very gravest im
portance. The canvass closes the political
career of General Grant.
Mr. Tilden's success shows not merely
the advance of the Democratic sentiment,
but also what, can be done by a candidate
who conducts his canvass upon sound busi
ness principles. He has shown the utmost
tact, industry and enterprise in his conduct
of his canvass. He has managed it as he
would manage a railway. He is now the
foremost . man of the party in a national
sense, and, by virtue of the primacy of New
York among States, he must necessarily be
more than any man concerned in the can
vass of 1876.
The third term is buried forever. General
Grant has two years before him in which
to retrieve many of the mistakes which
have brought discomfiture upon his ad
ministration and defeat upon Ins party.
Let him take this lesson in its highest sense,
and remember what he owes to his great
name, his fame and the place he would hold
in history. His career as a political leader.
is closed, but there remains to him a per
sonal career, which he can vindicate aud
confirm by two years of good t'overment,
reform and devotion to the highest and
truest principles of administration.
TLIE .NEW YORK "SUN,"
In a characteristic article, says : The
indignation of the people, as expressed
through the ballot-boxes yesterday, has
shivered Grant's administration to atoms.
The overthrow is complete and terrific.
Sufiice it to say, it is the
end of Grant and of Grantism. It gives
the finishing blow to a third term for Grant
If he is impeached by the new House of
Representatives, as he certainly ought to
be, there will be far more probability that
he will not serve out Ins second term than
that he will have a third. Of course the
unconstitutional features of the Gag law
will now be repealed.
It is iinjiossible to enumerate the names
of the great mass of hypocrites, adventurers
and rogues which the work of Monday and
Tuesday has but under the sod never to
rise again. There are Freliughuysen, and
Poland, and Dawes, and Robeson, and
Kellogg. There are "Shepherd, and Bab
cock, and Moses, and Casey, and Butler.
These will do for a specimen of the whole
lot.
The incoming House of Representatives
will certainly be controlled by the Opposi
tion. It now seems, in the light of imper
fect returns, as if the Liberals and Indepen
dents may hold the balance of power. This
is well, for it foreshadows the character of
the Presidential contest two years hence.
It was necessary, in order to obtain a ma
jority in the Forty-fourth Congress, that
the Opposition should make a gain of fifty
two members. Sufficient returns have
already been received to fchow that they
have gained more than that number. They
will no doubt, have a good working ma
jority. If they have, one of their first
duties will be the impeachment ef Grant,
leaving it to a Republican Senate to acquit
him on the trial, if they dare take that
responsibility.
When the results of this great contest
arc fully ascertained it will probably appear
that they are due not so much to Demo
cratic gains as to Republican losses. We
fancy that it will turn out that the stay-at-home
Republicans did the business for
Grant. If this proves to be so, it will
afford an instructive lesson to the Demo
crats, of which it will be wise for them to
take heed. It will be their true policy to
so use the power with which the people
have intrusted them as to bring these dis
gusted Republicans to their sides. They
will do well to remember that pome things
were settled by the late war past recall.
Among these arc the Thirteenth, Four
teenth and Fifteenth amendments to the
Constitution, which those Republicans who
have enabled the Democracy to win this
amazing victory will not permit to be dis
turbed. Glory enough for one day.
THE XEW YORK "VOKU" (lM.)
Concludes its leading article as follows
With the light of victory be earning from
their fines as the presage of greater achieve
ments to be wrought and greater victories
to be won, it only remains for the Demo
cracy to close up the ranks and shoulder to
shoulder under the old hammer and the
samo watchwords go on from conquering
to conquer, until the last citadel of Federal
power has been subject to their sway.
Grant's pretorian phalanx has been brok
en. His "Third Term" banner- has been
captured and reversed for a scoff and a bi-i-sing.
The bummers ot his army, the
spoilers of the South, have been compelled
to slacken their hold where the prey has
not been wrested from their teeth. The
political sorcerers discover that Mortonism
has lost its power for a dtdusiou of the de
fenders of the Republic the people at the
ballot box.. Yet this is only the first great
. battle in a long campaun. it is wen
triumphantly. Yet there are others to be
won.
Victory has been tied, with all her gar
lands, on, to the standards of the Demo
cracy by faithful hands which have success
fully planted those standards in thj fore
front of this battle. It is a victory for free
trade ; a victory for hard money ; a victory
for home rule.
The sign by which we have conquered
in the Empire State is the sign by which
we small cornuer in the whole country.
Let the seme victory-graced standards now
be carried on to the storming of the White
House, and to the northern as well as the
southern wing of the Federal Capitol, nnd
two years hence the quatrebras of ludi
calism shall be forgotten iu the havoc of its
Waterloo,
"And that loud Sabbath shake the spoiler-
down."
THE NEW YORK "REPUBLIC."
(Administration) is very general iu its re
marks. It says :
When old Massachusetts deserts the Re
publican cause, defeating Governor, Talbot,
and electing three or four Opposition Con
gressmen by heavy majorities Mr. Butler
beimr left at home, and the old district of
Mr. Dawes captured by an out and out
Democrat it would seem almost- as useless
to deplore defeat in other States as to in
dulge iu explanations over the election of
Mr. Tildenas Governor ot Xew lork. lhe
heaviest calamity to the Republican party
and we only hope it may not prove a na
tional misfortune is the reversal, by yes
terday's results, of the niajorit' and con
trol of the next House of Representatives
iu Cougress.
We need not feel discouraged, and should
remember that though financial disquietude
and factional irritations may have tempor
arily invaded the succctsful record of the
party, these influences arc only temporary,
aud the party organization is still intact
aud vigorous.
THE NEW YORK "TRIBUNE" (Illd REP.)
See in the result a direct blow at the ad
ministration. It says :
The verdict of the country against Grant
ism is dclivcren. There were only two
great questions before the pcopole at this
election. One was whether the adminis
tration deserves the public confidence, and
the other was whether it ought to be per
petuated. They have both been answered
in the negative so loudly that even the
President must her the verdict.
It is not anywhere a mere Democratic
victory. It is the protest of all classes of
citizens against an administration which
supported Jayne, which enriched Sanborn,
which lobbied the Salarv bill through Con
gress, which established its Kellogg in the
South by perjured judges and misused
bayonets, and tried to sustain them by slan
dering an injured people, and which had
just put itself forward with the insolent
claim for a perpetuation of power. The
public had grown weary i f six years of rule
remarkable for nothing but blundering and
greed. The demand for an indefinite ex
tension of such misrule was too much for
irood nature. It
ncecle
d the sharp answer
it has received. This is the end of Grantism
It is not the rivival of the rebellion nor the
definitive rehabilitation of the Democratic
party. It simply eliminates Grantism from
politics as an impertinent factor, and leaves
the two parties confronted so evently
matched that both must hereafter he care
ful to make no mistakes. The future be
longs to the one who shall earn it.
THE NEW YORK EVENING POST ( REP.)
We do no regard yesterday's result as
expressing popular opinion on a conflict
concerning any of these three subjects, of
which we heard so much durimr the can
vass hard money, free trade, and "home
rule." Wc do not believe that if the
Democratic and Republican platforms had
been identical as to all three of these ques
tions, as they were, very nearly, in respect
to the financial question, this morning's re
turns would have read very differently.
What then does the defeat mean ?
Wc have called yesterday a Republicans
defeat. It would be a great mistake to call
it a Democratic victory. The Democrats,
as a national party, offered the people only
one thing. They had no olicy to submit.
They had no record on which they could
ask the jniople to trust them. They had
no circfully matured or coherent measures
for the future better than or materially
different from Republican measures. They
did offer one thing a change. The peo
yle took the change ; they did not t:kc the
Democrats. Whether they will take them
remains an open question. Upon a change
the people are resolved. If the Republican
party have the wisdom and courage to per
fect the change, that party will still be the
strongest in the country. If it have not,
the people will try the Democratic party
not with much hope, indeed ; but they will
try it. Let not the Democrats, then, de
lude themselves into the belief that they
have gained a Democratic victory. The
Republican defeat is simply their opportu
nity. The people have used them as an in
strument to chastise the Republicans.
Whether the instrument shall prove fur
ther useful or shall be cast aside. the next
two years will show.
THE NEW YORK EVENING MAIL (REP.)
Views the matter in this light : We
are free to admit that the Republican jiarty
has been accumulating burdens that would
long since, have crushed any less vigorous
organization. Oue of the heaviest tf them
was dumped off upon the rocks of Cape
Aru yetteivhy. A prty that ha had
vigor enough to get along with Butler "to
the fore" will find its recovery from rever
ses very much faciltated by the loss of its
"Old Man of the Sea." We notice, too,
that the party is the lighter ft r having
dropped several other "Back-payers" in var
ious States, and still other Congressmen
who have been more conspicuous for their
capacity for jobs than for anything else.
Of course, the 'Tidal Wave" that has car
ried away this sort of rotten "flood-wood"
has al taken some excellent material, but
they had no business to be caught out in
such a bad year for Republicans.
THE N. Y. COMMERICAL ADVERTISER.
(IND. REP.)
treats Tuesday's work in this wav :
The long-talked of Democratic "tidal
wave" set in yesterday, and swept down
pretty much every Republican in its way.
It waa not entirely unexpected.
Speculations upon the causes are idle
aud will result in no advantage to the peo
ple. What is wanted, now the elections
are over, and what will do more to revive
business and restore prosperty, is solid con
fidence confidence that will make every
m s1 l 1. 1
-man hopetul, ana encourage mm to reiy
upon the resources and industries of the
country, and not upon Congress. Secretaries
of the Treasury and President. When peo
ple will stop believing in demagogues, clap
trap newspaper impostors aud shallow Con
gressmen, who know less about finance,
tariffs -Hud their effect upon the country,
than they do about the doctrines of the
Koran, then we may look for better times.
Let us be hopeful and cheerful, and we are
more certain to have a change for the bet
ter.
THE "NEW YORK EVENING EXPRESS"
(DEM).
Thinks that the most sailent points of this
election arc these : A peace offering to
the whole American people and the memor
able words of Abraham Lincoln to be put
in practice, "Malice to none, charity for
all." It is the promise of a better feeling
between white and colored people of the
South, by breaking down the dividing lines
which have politically separated the two
races. The colored men, we contend, voted
for their best friends in voting for their
old masters, and wc shall be greatly disap
pointed if the future docs not prove the
fact. There can never be upon this con
tinent any more slavery, and the Southern
white people would not restore the institu
tion if they had the power to do so. Nor,
let us say, in reply to one of the greatest
calumnies of the campaign, can the Con
federate debt, or any part of it, be paid by
the Federal Government ; but the Southern
States can and must be protected iivall the
rights aud privileges enjoyed by States
North and West.
THE BOSTON "JOURNAL" (RKr.)
It is a significant overthrow in many
senses, but it does not moan that the old
Democrat iv. party has taken even a tem
porary lease of power in Massachusetts.
Thousands of Republicans voted yesterday
with the Democrats because they were dis
satisfied with grievances which are mainly
the outgrowth of Butierism. The feeling
m
itself is sufficient to account for the
change that has taken place. When we
couple with this the special objection which
thousands urge against all sumptuary laws,
we have the leading causes of the rout.
That the rwdt is disastrous to' the Re
publican organization, as a party, it would
oe lonr to deny, ino loss
o ri t mi 1
ot Lonress-
men, from whatever cause it may have
arisen, is most damanging, especially in
view of the victories accomplished by the
opponents of the administration in other
States. That it denotes important changes
in the political future of the country is
certain.
THE BOSTON
"advertiser"
(IND. REP.)
Thus expresses itself :
But a part of the falling off, and not a
small part, was directly owing to causes fir
which the administration is responsible.
Outside of all considerations of popularity
or fitness of candidates, the Republicans
would not. Vote in any way that could be
construed as an indorsement of the means
by which the administration has made its
power felt in mass. They have had severe
experience of what it costs to be loyal to
party during the last twelvemonths. They
have seen the power of organization passing
into the control of men for whom the peo
ple have no respect. They have seen im'
portant Federal offices in this State mani
pulated for private ends, in violation of the
rules of the civil service, and in studied
contempt of their advice and judgment.
They have seen the party machinery taken
possession of by the recipients of Execu
tive favor and used to fortify themselves
in their positions and to intimidate all can
didates for office who would wot affiliate
with them. The scheme of allaying the
party with the temperance question has
been tried, and it had failed disastrously.
Voters thought the time had come to say
that they did not care to continue the farce
any longer.
A reduction of the !ggire;5ate Republican
vote for Congressman by -JU.UoO or ;j0,t00
and a loss of the majority of the delegation
is the only answer it was in their power to
make tu what they have long looked Upon
as a grave misuse of Executive patronage.
The defeat of some of our members of Con
gress is to l.e deeply regretted, but it is the
price wo hae to pay for wh.it we devoutly
trust will result m the political
tioii of the Commou wealth.

The Burning Mine.
The New York IfcralJ of Tuesday, con -"
tains a graphic description of the burning
coal mine at Wilkes-Barrc, together with'
the means by which the fierce fire was ex-,
tinguishod. The article is from the pen of
Miss Susan Evelyn Dickinson who during
her recent stay at Wyoming Valley, visited
the scene of theconflagation, "and obtained a
valuable amount of information relative to
the modes (p' randi by which it was cx
tinguihed, all of which is very interesting.'
The writer says :
"The agent which has gained the vic
tory, after months of vailant, persistent
battle with the flames, bringing into' plajj"
almost every resource of engineering skill,"
is a new one, which henceforth takes iu
place as the fire destroyer, whenever that
most to be dreaded' foe enters the mine.,"
The employment of steam by the Lehigh'1
and Wilkes-Barrc Coal company in ex
tinguishing tho I'hnpire mine fire has proved'
a success, which must be of incalculable'
value, not alone iu Pennsylvania, but in!.
mining districts everywhere. The nam 'of
tlie foreman of the Empire mine, Iiewis
Jones, through whose sagacious and per
sistent endeavors the trial by tcam was
made, is certainly worthy of record and re-"
momheranoe. Mr. Jones' own detailed,"
technical account of the method used in'
fighting the fire, and of the causes which
baffled all efforts through months of ener
getic, well directed labor, is to be published
by the company for the use of those most
interested, and a paper descriptive of these .
method: has been read before a meeting of
civil engineers. But no account has yet
reached tho publi
e of
battl
e v
flame
as lull ot vivid and picturesque interests as
it was of peril and excitement to those en
gaged m it.
She then details in a succinct manner'
die method employed, an account of which
1 as aleeady appeared in brief in The Re
FL IiLK'AN. .Miss Dickinson's view of tin
National Miners" association will interest"
our readers mot. Evidently she hiu'nV

will let'
her speak for herself in
the
owimr ex-
tract from her letter :
"I compared notes with the superintend
ent in reference to the former miners' trade

tion," which is now endeavoring to reha-"
billtate itself and become national in its or
ganization. He confirmed the belief which

sociation might for a time regain" ascertain
amount of power, the men had too thorough:
an experience of its tyranny to pcrktit it to
force any jniimancnt serious troubles in
those di.-tricts in which capital and labor
had begun to recognize their interests a
identified with each other.- And these
comprehend a much larger proportion of
the cWt region-, especially in the northern
part of the state:- than is wisely apprehend
ed, a strike or difficulty like the present
one in a single colliery belonging to a small
company at Moosic being supposed to re
present fairly the general feeling, which it
does not, any more than the reports of
murders and outrages among the dangerous'
classes in New York fairly represent the
city'
We would merely add in justice to the
Miners' National association that the men:
who caused the recent troubles at Moosic
did not belong to it, and have absolutely
refused to join it, or receive counsed from'
any of its leaders.
A Cure for Consumption.-
A1 correspondent of one of our exchange
papers give3 the following, cure for Con
sumption, which at the least deserves a
trial. He says : "I have discovered a
remedy for pulmonary consumption. It
cured a number of cases alter they had
commenced bleeding at the lungs and the
hectic flush was already ori the cheek. -After
trying this remedy to my own satisfac
tion, I have thought, philanthropy required
that I should let it be known to the world.
It is the common mullen, steeped strong
and sweetened with coffee sugar and drank
freely. The herb should be gatheretl be
fore the end of July," if convenient. Young
or old -plants are good dried in the shade,
and kept in clean paper bags. The medi
cine must be continued from three to six
months, according to the nature of the dis
ease. Jt r? good for the blood vessels also.
It strengthens the system, and builds up,
instead of taking away strength. It makes
good blood, and takes inflamation from the
lungs. It is the wish of the writer that
every periodical in the United States,
Canada and Europe should publish this re
ceipt for the benefit of the human family.
Lay this up and keep in the house ready
for use."
Important to Banks.
It has been decided by the authorities
at Washington that the practice of writing
or printing the works "one day after cLie ,
without grace," upon bank check., in pLt c
of stamping them and drawing the money
on them the same day, is a violution of the
revenue law. Where it is flone in good
faith, and the checks are not paid until due,
it is all right. Dating them back one day,,
however, will not answer. It is also "a
violation to use an unstamped receipt in
place of a-elieck where a third party enters
into t&e transaction.-
An experienced housekeeper says tho
best thing for cleaning tinware is common
soda. Rub -the ware briskly, after which
wips dry, and it riU kvk e-pd to zw.
