Mr. Smulley of the Democratic National committee expresses tlio opinion that -Mr. Hurchnrd's alliteration turned the scale In favor of Clov eland in tin three States of .New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Mr. Hendricks already announces that) ederal protection of the ballot boxes must lie done away witli at once, and he speaks tile purpose of the Democratic party. "No fair ballot or lamest count in ours, thank ye," they seem to say. The mo t sweeping change brought, about in any State at the recent election is that by which the complete Democratic delegation of six members of the present House of Representatives Irom California is dimmed into a complete Republican del egation lor the next Douse. The New York .Sua says the Connecticut Independents before they decided to vote for Cleveland received assurances from him that in the event of his election there should be nothing like a clean sweep even of the ofiiees not all'ected by the civil ser vice law. If Cleveland lives up to tho-o assurances what a weeping and wailing and gnashin ; of teeth there will lie in tile Democratic party. Major liiirke is arranging with Piesi dent Diaz, wlio will be inaugurated comber 1, to adjourn the Mexican congress o i tile bltli ot December, and also expects the American Congress to adjotnn on thu 1-th of December, so that the expo sition will be opened in the presence of the Presidents of the United States, Mexico, Central American republics, heads of do partmentsand foreign representatives. ,A correspondent of the .Sni recalls the circumstance that when Seymour and Hunt were tlio opposing candidates for Governor of Now York the election was close and for two weeks afterwards the Democrats insisted that Seymour had been cho-en bv a small maiorltv with as nnirh positivenoss anil bluster as thuy have this ! year claimed tlio election of Cleveland. Hut when tlio vote was olllcially canvass ed it was ascertained that Hunt had a ma jority of about ','00, and lie was duly in augurated. According to the annual report of the chief signal ollicor, General Ilazen, which ha just been published, careful estimates have ben made ot the percentage of accu racy, siiowim; M.i; percent for Now KiiKland and for tlio whole country s.1.1 )or cent. Tlio total number of cautionary signals displayed during the year was -'iTii; the nunilier jtistillecl wtis :j;7, or vi,4 iiercont of the whole. It is shown that durinn the year no general storm passed over the country without warnim:. Of the total number of cautionary oll'-sliore signals dis played, !';!..) iter cent were jtistilled as to direction and .. per cent as to velocity. The Court of Appeals of thu Statu of Now York has rendered a decision which makes an end of two of thu pleas by ' which the venders of obscene art have en deavored to protect their infamous busi ness. Tlie defendant, who was on trial i for selling indecent photograph, under look to defend his pictures by proving that they wore photographs ot pictures which hail been exhibited in tiiu I'm is Salon. Hut the court held that the tact that a picture was permitted to kricu or disgrace I the walls of the Paris Salon did not deter mine its moral riuht to public sale in i America. The defence also proposed to introduce "export" artist testimony to thu i elfect that the pictures were not indecent. 1 The court refused to take "export" testi-1 "oxport" inony on this question, and left it to bo de termined by tlio jury. It was all right to wait for thu oilicial count in Now York where thu margin claimed was less than a tenth of onu per cent. Hut it does not appear why thu Hu publicitn National commltteu were so con fident that thu oilicial count would reverse the apparent result. There was no way of correcting tho Hutlor votes counted for Cleveland. Tho clipped ballots proved to lie innpprociiiblu in number. Tho clerical errors told both ways. One thing at least is plain. Not a partlclo of Republican manipulation of thu count is even charged. ! No Republican tried to alter a return. Tlio howling of tlio NevvYork TJmcs and other -Independent papers, that the Republican "sharpers" 'wore trying to client in tlio count, was us false us it was abusive. Tliu Democratic rejoicings over Cleve land's election have been marked by the tearing down of thu stars and stripes at Richmond, Va., the stoning of tliu Gov ernment building in Frankfort, Ky., and assaults upon the lottor-carrlors in Haltl inore, because they aru uniformed ser vants of tliu Government, so numerous tmd outrageous that thu postmaster has boon compelled to stop thu delivery of tliu mails after dark. Of coursu there aru many thousands of Democrats In those cities who do not countenance such out rages, and nru us law-abiding mid orderly as any citizens ; but such occurrences cin phasizu tliu fact Unit thu Democratic party comprises tliu riotous and dangerous classes, especially lit thu South. Nobody supposes (lint any such transactions would have occurred unywhoro in celebration of Mr. Hluiuu's election. There Is much talk In headquarters about expenditures, tttnl Democrats say the Republican National Committee hail a million. Hut they did nut have much more than a quarter of that Mini. The Federal olllco-holders neve: paid mi little, It is already pietty plain that the Dem and the greater part ot the rich men were ocruts, having gut al. that they wanted for Cleveland.

They spoil, more money than was ever spent in tiny- election in iinv country, and a go 1 1 part of it went for wholesale purchases ot votes all lor "Cleveland and iteform."

The one hundredth annivers iry ot the consecration of liishop So.ibury as the llrst bishop of tlis 1'r.itestant Kplvipul clutreh in the United States wis celebrated on Friday, not only in many of the leading cities of tlie United Stai'-S, but nl-o in London, where at St. Paul's Cathedral stately and elaborate services were held in honor of thu event.

Then, tinder tlio terms of tlio compromise, 1 the franchise bill is to bo put to its linal 1 passage in the Louis, and the redistribu tion bill will follow in the Common a fllst ils 1i,,,:o will permit. "The Presidential election takes the form of a lawsuit," says Mural Halstead, and such indeed seems likely to bo the outcome of the oilicial canvass. Now York despatches say that exception have been taken by Mr. Hii-s to re. urns In Now York city, lUl'cctiiin :iln 'it loon votes in the uu'-treKate. Most of these tire on cler ical informalities, many of winch would not be noticed if the cana-s was less c!o-o. The returns ohj clod to are le f erred to "the committee on contested re turns" and as the Democrats have the control of that, it is to lie expected that all matters ol doubt will be decided ad versely to the Republican side. Only the clearest kind of a ca-o of error or fraud will bo permitted to ailed the linal result. It is said that no lennl remedy exists for the wronu by which Duller ballots were counted lor Cleveland. When the com ' niitteu on contested return reports, a Until i appeal to the courts will bo in order, on I any ballots which the Republican lawyers claim to have boon illegally emoted. The llrooklyn I'ltimi which seem- to think it knows more about Vermont than the Vermonters insists tliat the Hil" voters enst for St. John in this Statu represent Republican opposition to Mr. lllaiiio as union as if thu men who cast them had voted for Cleveland, This is simply ab surd.

Docs that action entitle the latter to be heard and hooded, either by Republican or sincere temper ance men '! The candidate of the National Proliibitioni.sts.St. John, conducted a can vass directly and most distinctly in the interest of the Democratic party. His most cordial hatred and abuse was always reserved lor the Republican party, in his speeches. The Prohibition vote in the I Statu of New York has put the Democrat- i ,ic party in power in the Nation. It has i become the ally ot the whiskey Democ racy. If It now wants anything, it will ' probably have to no to the Democracy for , , it. Perhaps it will net U. 'flic 1'iititrr ol'Civil Service KoToi'iu. ' Wo should bo nl.'id to share Mr. Dorinan I li. Katun's rose-colored anticipations for tlio reform of the civil servicu under Pre ident Cleveland, if we could. Hut nuthiim i in the p.it history of the Democratic party j , encoiirau'os any such expectations. Its' motto has always boon, "To the victors belong thu spoils," What lias boon ac complished for civil service reform lias been accomplished over its oppo-ition. It would be pleasant to believu that it lias i abandoned its traditions and chaiuiod its I character, but Hie proof that it lias done 1 o, to any appreciable extent, ha yet to be brought forward. As for Mr. Cleveland 1 ho was, as Mr. Roosevelt described him to ' lie, a very nood reformer when any meas ure wu in hand that struck the Ropulill can party or that struck Tammany, with which lie had a quarrel. I'.ut when any reform measure was brought forward . which all'ected hi- own faction of thu Dent ex ratio party, or his per-omil friends and adherents, he was a broken revd, which I pierced the hands of the reformers who I leaned on him. As Taminaiiy cave him its support in the election anil is now ' all riuht with him, he will probably, as i President, see nothing that needs reform except the Republican party and the way to reform that, lie will lie pretty apt to think, willbetorciuoveall temptation from it, by takiiu; Irom it all the olllces, and dispensing them atuom; the hungry and thirsty Democrats, who are already be sieniiiK him with a keenness undeneruy little short of a bread riot. The facts that Mr. Cleveland selected the most utterly shameless and corrupt man In his party, William II. Il.irnuni, fur chairman of hi National committee, and that Ids most in timate friends and advisers liav be-n the corruptionists, Manuini;, McLaughlin, Thompson and Smith Weed, show vorv clearly that ho has no delicate perceptions and intiucts in the direction of reform of in tho direction of reform of tho public serv ice, if lie has in any dircu- des. and the only way to assure the couu tlon. lie may, probably will, try to keep try that the party I in earue.-t about them up for a whilo some sort of sham, to be is for Cleveland to consult freely and im thrown us a tub to tlio reform whale ; but partially with prominent Democrats Irom tlio most that wu expect from him in that all sections.

If tho Angel Gabriel wuru holdinga federal oflico hu could not so conduct it that sulll ciunt cause for removal would not be found against him by men combining in j their own persons tliu functions of prose-1 cuting ollicor, judge and jury, and who hml already promised the olllco to some good hungry Democrat, So as ninny causes for removal will be found us there are Republicans in olllco. At present the real leaders of thu Democratic party have tlio same love for civil servicu reform that the devil has for holy water. When they get all thu federal olllces llllod with Demo crats, they will bo willing to consider measure. to secure greater permaneiico in olllco, for federal ollicials, and not before. It is possible, of course, that wu mis judge Mr. Clovolund's real instincts and underestimate ids power to resist I pressure of his party adherents. thu Thu event will prove. Wu shall.bu very glad to bo disabused of our belief in tills mat - tor ; but It will take something more than optimistic predictions to cliangu it, Mean whilu wu can say, with .Mr. Depovv, in his speech at tliu Jewellers' dinner in New York: "While I think thu American of them lie will have my respect. If lie is eiial to the best of tlium, he shall have my support." Our Suiii-ruie Court. Tim Legislature last week followed the custom which with few exceptions has prevailed for many yiurs by ro-clcclim: the Judije-' of our Supreme remit.

There is but one criticism that can justly ho made on the Legislature's choice, and that arises from tlio very wroiu; and domiirall.iiit: habit tlio Legislature iias fallen into of 1111 Iuk the public olllces from its own mem bership, Of the pro-out members of tlio Supremo Conn, lour Hero members of the Legislature ut the lime of their election : and of the remalnlm: three, two owed their places, originally, not to the l.ouisla- i turo but to appointment by tlio Governor. .sooftho other Important State olllcers, theorem majority of those in the ift of the Legislature have boon kI veil to Its mem bers.

Who Dill It '.' Tlie Ropulillcan National convention did It. It could have made a noinination which would have united Instead of dlvid Iiilt the parly. Thu political Prolu litionisls did it, and some of them are already sorry for it. They showed their power, but it is easv to "li"w power In certain ways. Any man can throw a railroad train oil' from a track. It will lie loan years before the dainano they have done to their own cause and to the country is repaired. Tlie Independent did it not as much as they siippo-e : but enough. Some opposed their party uuwilliimly and as a duty, and after an honest fashion. Others eagerly, from unworthy motive and in thorouirhly dishonest ways. Some will live to see that the fracture of a uroat party ormini zation is not so Unlit a matter as they have made of It, and that the evil consequence of ii bolt can cmtlat a cainpaiuu and an administration. Dr. Hurchurd did it. His alliterative lioomeraii!.', after sklnuihiiii,' around throe States and costing the Republican ticket Hfty-one electoral vote, Is now hittinn him on the head and reminding him ot his folly every day. Perhaps Cyrus Field with ids Delinouico dinner of millionaire did it. Hut it i not likely lie will have a cliancu to do it again in a hurry. Any our of thoe things, added of course to the constant and calculable' elements of thu solid South and tlio Democratic party, and to the rest of those unusual factors, was enough to defeat the Republi can ticket. The Republicans who are not ropmi blu for any one of tlie-e thing. who, hav ing tried to secure a wiser nomination, pull ed true to tlie end. and votitl right, will led no logrits tor their course. They are beaten : but no -hare ol the responsi bility lor the cleleat belong to them. They can stand eli.-a-tci as well as the rest, and better ; lor .is the evil consequence. de velop they w'ill be able to say: "Thou canst not say I did it." The nuniberof such, wu are proud and Imppy to say, comprises the Vermont Re publicans almost to a mail. Tlie Trouble liegiin. President-elect Cleveland's troubles have already begun. The intelligent and well posted Now York correspondent ol the Boston TruiiMTjif says that Democratic Senators who were not very active in se curing Mr. Cleveland's nomination, claim that their po-itiou in the party entitles them tosonie coii-ldoratiou ill the selection of his cabinet. Some of them ate reported as saying that if the President-elect at tempt to ignore them, they will bo forced to fall back on their privileges as Senators to make tlioin-clvc lelt in the conlirma tion of Ids appointments. They claim that Cleveland lias no more right to utilize his election for the purpose of experimenting with personal theories of lit- own than they would have themselves. The Demo- emtio party, they insist, stand before the country pledged to certain di-tinct poli- country nledged to certain di and therefore are not incline 1 ti credit the various rumors concerning ids intentions. If his oloetiou is in answer to the demand of the people torn change In the administration of tho government, hu must and will accept tho tried and experi enced representatives of the Democratic party for carry logout the popular demand, Any othorcottr.se, thosu Senators predict, would Tylorize his inauguration six months after his administration. Such Is the cheerful spirit in which the .situation i being discussed. Wli.it it forebodes is obvious, Klrctrlrity totho Pi-out. Mr. Cyrus W. Field, who knows a tiling or two about electricity, in addressing the stockholders of the New York elevated railways at their annual meeting tlio other day, made special reference to the probability that electricity would soon he applied in place of steam as thu motive power in tho company's engines, lie sup- 1 ported his own judgment by quoting sir William Thouip-ou's opinion that tlio tracks of the elevated roads afford an almost ideal opportunity for applying electrical force. Mr. Field stated that the change might possibly hu Hindu during the coming year. Mr. F.dison lias undertaken tliu solution of thu problem ot generating electricity directly from coal, but liu ad mits that tho task is so dllllcult that llvo years limy bu required for Us performance.

Had there been a fair and free bal lot In the South tlio States of Alabama. Florida, Louisiana, .Mississippi mn Sotitli Carolina prottv r-rtainly, and probably Virginia and North Carolina, would have gone for Hlaino instead of Cleveland. The colored voters in the South are all Repub licans. The exceptions are not one in ten thousand. Alabama has Hi, nil white vot ers and l1H,4'j:i colored voters, The white rotors include a lurge number of Northern men, mostly Union soldiers, who have settled there since the war. Had the en tire Republican vote been cast and count ed, Alabama would doubtless have elected Republican electors. Florida lias ;4.','(i white and U7.4MI colored voters, and of the wliitv's, at a moderate estimate, lo.tKiu are Republicans. With a full and fair vote and count Florida would have gone for Hlaino and Lou'an by 'luno majority. Hut in Alabama and Florida many oven of the wnito Republicans did not dare vote their ticket. One of thorn, who wont from llrooklyn to Florida, anil settled there, writes to a Northern friend : I did not dare lo vote on Tuosdav. If I hud voted voted the Republican ticket I would have put my life and my propertv iu peril. So I kept awav troin tlio polls.1- J.J. A. Alabama gave Cleveland nn.doii and Florida .oiki plurality. In Louisiana the colored voters outnumber the white, the respective number. being IO'.i.'.Im black to ltls.-lo white. There are many white Re publican in Louisiana. In a single dis trict in New Orleans, TIKI Republican votes were thrown out by thu Democratic com missioners, because through ignorance or more probably misguidance-, they were put into the wrong box. Hy similar moans In some places, and by terrorism in other.-, Louisiana Is made to give Cleveland -Jn.ixM plurality. Mississippi has a still larger pre ponderance of colored votors.having i:l,-JT3 to lOs.'.'.M whites ; and in South Carolina three-fifths ot the voters are colored Re publicans, there being ll,ye.i to Niy.ino white. Mississippi givesheruiue electoral votes to Cleveland by :i(i,niKl plurality and South Carolina her by i:!,(i(i(l ! in Virginia probably more than the nol) votes by which the Stote wa carried for Cleveland, were lo-t to the Republican ticket hy fraud. A colored teacher in a town in S mthhuiup ton county, Va., tells how it was managed there. There were t wo registry books, info for white the other lor colored voters. The day before election it was announced that tlio book. had boon "stolen" from tne store of the white Democrat who had the custody of them. On election day the book of white voters turned up, but strange to -ay tlie other book could not be found ! "So." writes tlie teacher, "not a single Republican could vote. Some of thu colored people are -ad and some mo angry. Tlie re-ult will be that the district will be thrown out. Just to think: as hard as I have worked for Hlaino, our men could not vote for him. I feel real sad. We have been treated badly, but I believe justice will overtake wrong. The Lord will come to there-cue of His people and raie up the bowed down." Had those States a free b illot and fair count Hlaino and Logan could havospated New York, carried for Cleveland by the mass of ignorance and vice wliio1" fe-tor-iu the great cities of New York 'incl Hrook lyn, and still bo elected by a majority of thirty-four electoral votes. That ninny thousand voters should have thu been denied the right to cu-t each "one free ballot and have it fairly counted;" Unit forty-two electoral votes should be taken from one party and given to the other by intimidation, trickery and fraud, is a crime against the franchise and against tho country. The Southern Demoer.it exult in this condition of thing. At the North tlie men who hurrahed for "Cleveland and Reform," know the-o facts, but have nothing to say about them. They cannot deny them, and will not acknowledge them. They simply say nothing, take tlie fruits of tho wrong, and goon to foitity themselves imprognubly in tlie seat of power of thu nation. It i an outrage and a wrong, against which, in tlie words of Mr. Hlaino, "patriotism, self-respect, pride, protection for person and safety for country alike cry out." It may prosper for a time ; but tliero aro wise and far seeing citizens, who believe that in hand ing over the Republicans of tlio South to tlio tender mercy of tho party which prollts by thoir disfranchisement and will do everything to perpotuuto it, tlie " re formers" who shouted for Cleveland have sown the seeds of another civil war. .111'.

Under his ad ministration there has boon u sweeping change in tlio civil service of tho State. Ho went oven further Until partisanship required. In a Republican county where there was a vacancy In the olllco of County Judge which had been temporarily llllod by Governor Cornell, a changu was made by Governor Cleveland and the olllco given ton Democrat, though It was possi ble for him to hold it only a low mouths, Tho only reason for placing an Inexper ienced man in such an olllco for so short a timu was thu demand of Democratic politicians. In every other case of that kind ho appointed Democrats temporarily to succeed Repub licans.
