The New Jersey Democrats cannot under
stand why they were defeated at the recent
election, and are asking lor a satisfactory
solution of the problem. The Newark Jour

and those disposed to fatten on ill-gotten
gains be restored to private life." The
people of the State have already done the
latter.
The Pope will not yield. He has just is
aved an encyclical and bull concerning the
spoliation of the temporalities. The Pope
takes high ground. The temporalities, he
says, are not his, but God's. He is simply
a trustee. What is not his own he evinot
surrender. This is sound logic We arc
afraid, however, that.in spite of tho "major
excommunication against the spoliators and
all who are its aiders and abettors," the
temporal power is gone for good. The Holy
Father will do well to make up his mind to
bow to the inevitablo with as good grace as
possible.
The statement is made that the govern
ment has determined upon effective mea
sures for the suppression of Kuklux bandg
in the south. There has recently been fur
nished the mnt satisfactory evidence that
these bands of marauders, who respect nei
ther the life nor property of union men. are
rapidly increasing in various sections of the
south, and notably in central Kentucky,
and are becoming more and more a terror to
the peaceable inhabitants, and particularly
to the union element. It is to bo hoped
that the government will lose no time and
spare no effort in ridding the suffering com
munities frcui the ravages of these murder
ers, who should be dealt with in the most
summary manner.
The Republicans of Buffalo County, Min
nesota, were somewhat bothered at their
late election. Their candidate for Assem
bly was Mr. P. IV.in ; but they were met at
the polls by tidings of his death the night
before. Their county is large and new ; its
population thin and scattered ; and it was
utterly impossible that they should eonxult
and agree on another caudidute. But be
tween a dt-a J Republican and a live Demo
crat tbey had a decided choice ; aud rather
than be tnisrcpreientcd, they chose to be
unrepresented ; so they cast their vote solid
for Mr. Polin and elected him. They are
perhaps the only constitut-ncy in the Union
who have attained an ' absolute certainty
that their representative will not betray his
trust by celling his vote.
President Grant has permitted an ex
planation of his relations to ex Secretary
Cox and to the McGarrahan claim to be
published. It shows that the President, at
the outset of the administration, directed
that nothing should be done with the mat
ter, expressing the belief that both the par
ties interested were tainted with fraud, and
that the property belonged to the United
States. He has all along acted in this view
not favoring either McGarrahan or the New
IJiia company. Secretary Cox's letter
clearly convicts him of attempting to give
the land to the New Idria company. What
now will be said against th President ou
this point? Did he commit a wrong in ca
ring for the interests of the government, as
gainst all adveuturers? And was Mr. Cox i
irreproachably right in seeking to give the j
land to a fraudulent claimant? This i all
, there is in the affair.
A somewhat original method of raWiug
funds for campaign purposes was adopted
by the Republicans in Chicago in the can
vass just ended. The Democrats did not;
make a nominatiou for Congress, but united
with the free traders in supporting Wtnt
worth. They felt so confident. They felt
o confident of the of the success of their
little seheme, that tbey were free betters on
Lis ehuitiou as against farwell. The Re
publicans quietly accepted all tbeir bets.and
now find that, after paying all the expen
ses of the campaign by the money won,
they have 1 10,tnj kii in the treasury. The
funniest part of it is, the Dcmociatic pa
pers are decrying the immorality ot the
movement. It seems exceeJiujgly like Sa
tan reproving sip. Tke sore point, we sup
pose, is, that thi Democracy feel that they
Lave been made to pay the expeast of the
. r . i
.-iupign lor tneir winning opponent, in
J iitiou to their owu. It ;s rather at onj;- J
jnaj nay of rai-iiij uioiicy.
TflE FEENCH-PBU3SIAN WAB.
According to despatches thsre was some
terrible fighting around Paris, on Monday,
Tuesday aud Wednesday, of Iait week. Oa
Wednesday, it is said, Trochu suddenly
made a furious assault ou the German lines
to the east of Paris, and forced his way
across the river Mafne aud effected a junc
tion with Gen. De Paladincs, who was in
danger of being crushed by Prince Charles
aud the Duke of Mechlenberg. Trochu's
movement, from the despatches, would
seam to have been a success in breaking the
GcTBian coil that has encircled Paris for two
months. This would materially change the
position of the contending forces, and will
likely lead to a battle of great magnitude
that may result in raising the siege of Pari
by the Germans. At all events, the situa
tion of the French is not as gloomy as here
tofore, and further news will bo looked for
with much anxiety.
Later. The sortie of Trochu was suc
cessful onlv in developing iho strength of
the German line, but failod in forming a
junction with De Paladincs, who, it is said,
"has abandoned his grand movement for
the present." Thus it seems, that after a
week's hard fighting but little, if any, per
manent advantage has been gained by either
side. .

One of the aciaiaptlurn'Mts of its pres
cut Democratic condition is the whipping
post. The pillory alone, might be passed
by, but it is Mm ply wonderful how any
State professing to have any approximation
towards civilization should continue this
brutal and barbarous punishment. On
Saturday last, at New Castle, Delaware,
three culprits were stripped and lashed.
The officer inflicting the punishment seemed
to have soma compunctions of conscience
over his brutal work, but the bystanders
compelled him to perfurm the duties of his
office. When that State becomes Repub
lican, this degrading, heartless scene will be
of the past, aud be wiped from the statute
books forever. The penalty is nothing but
a relic of burburistii and should have been
done away with long ago.
A singular coincidence is aserted to have
been disclosed by the official returns for
Congressmen in tlu late elections in New
Jersey. In 1808, the aggregate of the
votes cast for Congressmen was. Republi
can, 79,404; Democratic, 83,197; Demo
cratic majority 3,423. In 1870 the aggre
gate, counting the votes cast for Mr. Fitz
patrick as Democratic, was. Republican,
80, 40 ; Domrutio, 77.003 ; Republican
majority. 3,423, or precisely the same as
the Democratic majority iu 1.S0S.
Free Trada vs. IL'gh Tariff.
Uudcr this caption, the Il.irri.-burg Pa
triot of Friday, Djc. 21, 1870, publishes
the following letter from B. K. Meyers,
Esq., tho principal editor of that paper, to
Mahlon Sands, Es.p, one ot the committee
of invitation to the Free Trade banquet,
which came off at Dclmoiiico's in New
York, on Monday, Nov. iSih :
Bkdfokd. Pa., Nut. 26, 1S70. MM,t
Sands, Esq: Df.au. Sir: 1 have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of your
kind uote inviting me to a dinner to be fiv
eu ir. your city on iiia 28th inst. , in honor
ot the triumph of revenue reform princi
ples in the recent Congressional elections
aud in the Missouri State election. I re
gret the pressing business engagements ren
der it out of my power to atteud. Permit
uie to say, however, that my sympathies
are entirely with the cause whose triumph
you arc abir-it to celebrate. During the
last twelve months revenue reform ideas
have made wonderful progress iu this good
old Commonwealth, formerly so tightly
bound with the iron hand ot monopoly. At
the late elections the most prominent advo
cates of tariif bounties to special interests
in this State were igmtiiiiiuuly defeated.
In this (the Sixteenth) district a distinct
ion was made between a tariff for revenue
and a tariff for "prated ion." and though
the power of government oScials, the cor
rupt use of money, ami the iufluence of
party, were all intensely exerted in favor of
.he candidate nf the monopolists, the reve
nue reform candidate was triumphantly elec'
ted. Iu 1S08 the district elected a protect
ionist ion "war issues," however), by 144
majority.
I shall only add that it is to be hoped
that in the next Congress the friends ot
revenue reform will b able to act together,
without regard to former political divisions,
in tho organization ot the House of Rep
resentatives, and in the enactment of the
liberal and wholesome laws so greatly de
manded by the countrj. Thanking you tor
your kind invitation, I remain, yours re
spectfully, B. F. Meyehs.
In this letter Meyers, who holds tho cer
tificate of election, to Congress from the
Sixteenth District, d. c'ares h
inself in fa-
vor of "revenue reform," or, iu other words
in favor of Free Trade, for he says "my
sympathies are entirely with the cause(Free
Trade) whose triumph you (the Free Tra-
ders) are about to celebrate." Mr. Mey
ers, also, as editor of the Democratic cen
tral organ of Pennsylvania, in this lettcr.to
a greater or less degree speaks for the Dem
ocratic party of this State, and places
it on the Free Trade platform. Will the
workingmen of Pennsylvania remember
these facts ?
The prisoners taken at Metz by the Prus
sians included three Marshals of France, 50
generals. 6,0u0 officers, and 173,000 rank
and file. There were 20.000 wounded or
sick, aud among the captured materials of
war were 400 pieces of artillery and 100 mit
railleuses. The total number of French
prisoners on the hands of the Germans are
four Marshals, 140 Generals, 10,000 officers
and 320,000 rank and file.
The official returns of the census show an

The Pittsburgh Gazette says : The report
of Commissioner Delano made from the In
ternal Revenue Office, is full ot interest.
He states that the estimate, submitted in
his annual report of 18t"'J of the probable
receipts from Internal Reveouc resources,
exclusive of the duty upon the circulation
and deposits of National Batiks for the fis
cal year 1870, has been more than realized.
His estimate was $175,000,000, and the ag
gregate receipt 5 are hown to be $1S5,235,
807 97. and excels of $10,235,807 97. The
total receipts for tha fiscal year 1809 were
$160,089,344 i3 ; showing a net gain in
1870 of $25,196,520 68. He recommends
the discontinuance of the employment of
spies and informers, and of the policy of
paving m.ieiies. The Commissioner earn
estly opposes any change in tho law taxing
spirits, and states that the experience of
last year has served to strengthen his pre
vious opinion in that respect. The receipts
from this source are already $55,580,509 13.
Mr. Delano also gives the encouraging
statement, that the receipts from all sources
of Internal Revenue for the first eighteen
mouths of the present Administration,
compared with those of the last eighteen
months of the.late Administration, are in
creased to the amount of $49,672,001 00.
This, too, in spite of our reduced taxation.
In every statement yet presented to the
public, the wise, sound, and economical pol
icy of the Administration, has been demon
strated by dollars and cents, and eannot be
denied. The whole report of Mr. Delano
is an able document.
Fbal'iui.ent Voting. Two individuals,
Potrick McFadden and Francis Shields,
have recently been tried and convicted in
the U. S. District Curt, Philadelphia, of
illegal voting at the' late election, under the
act of Congress. In the first case it was
not distinctly proven that the defendant
voted for a member , of Congress, and the
Court held the verdict subject to review.
Bat in the second Ch.-o, that of Shields, it
was proveti that he voted for a member of
Congress, and the jury returned a verdict of
guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, on
the ground that the fraud was probably un
intentional, the testimony going to show
that such might have been the case. A
few more convictions and a sharp sentence
or two will have a good effect upon that
Irrge class of purchasable scoundrels who
make a practice of fraudulent voting.
In the Kansxs Senate there is our lonesome

presiding himself, offering and .seconding all
the resolutions with nobody to help him, sup
porting them by eloquent addiesses to him
self, and then putting the ipiest'ion to him
self, and announcing to himself: ''It is a
vote." How he likes these sweets of solilo
quy we are uoti informed , but human nature
is always pleased to have its own way ; and
here is a "Democrat" whose "right there is
