SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. 12,1870.
ELECTION COMMENTS.
The comments npon the New York and
Massachusetts elections are interesting ami
instructive. The New York l'osi says the
election in that city was the fairest held for
many years. No serious effort was made
anywhere to resist the national authority, and
the administration of the laws so far as at
tempted was successful. The Post thinks
however there should have been no compro
mise made with the conspirators.by which the
United States officers agreed to confine them
selves in the execution of the laws to the
punishment of fraud after it was perpetrated.
The Post says :—
The Tammany vote for Governor in this
city yesterday was 86,103; in 1868 it was 112,
522. Thereduction, or 28,350, may be taken
as the measure of the frauds prevented by the
imperfect and hesitating enforcement of the
laws of the United States. There can be no
pretence that the full democnitic vote was
not called out. Never before was such ex
traordinary efforts made by the Tammany
leaders to bring every voter to the polls.—
Never before were the local divisions in the
party, all ot them supporting the same dem
ocratic state ticket, so exciting to the voters,
and so influential in calling them out. Their
vote was certainly much the tullest ever cast
so far as it was an honest vote; and no ex
planation of the great falling off in numbers
is possible, except the enormous frauds by
which it was swollen two years ago.
How the result of the election in Massachu
setts is regarded by the republicans of that
State is truthfully shown we presume in the
following from an editorial in tlse Poston
Journal ot Thursday.
The returns of our State election might
givea stranger no other impression than that it
was an ordinary Republican triumph, ot the
usual magnitude considering the general want
of political excitement, with the only pecu
liarity of having the opposition vote divided
on local issues. In reality, however, it was
one of the most significant elections that we
have had for many years. It brought to the
test of the public judgment a deliberate and
avowed attempt to break up the Republican
party of Massachusetts. It was everywhere
proclaimed that that party had come to its
natural end, that it ought to die, in order to
give vitality and nourishment to the more
beneficent organizations which were waiting
to take its place. It is very natural that Re
publicans,who were never wont to take out
side advice as to their duties, should not
quietly consent to be ordered out of existence,
so they took an appeal to the people as usual.
The result is a most tangible, solid, vital and
healthy Republican victory. It has every ev
element of completeness and strength. The
party has beaten old enemies, it lias crushed
new ones; it enters upon the future unim
paired in its resources within and without,
and destined to reward the public confidence
it so signally enjoys.
The parties led by Mr. Phillips have by this
time seen the mistake they made in trying to
join what ought to have been kept asunder.
In addition, however, to this error, and to the
blunder of their leadership, it is now more
clear than ever that the real difficulty is in try
ing to make a separate issue upon questions
with which the Republican party is compe
tent and—at every suitable juncture—is w ill
ing to deal. In many sections of the State
Mr. Phillips does not command so many votes
as the Labor Reformers alone did last year.
The strength of the party, with another years'
organization, is less in the Legislature than it
was then. When everything is considered,
therefore, it is apparent that the Labor Re
form party has begun visibly to retrograde. It
this is not so, then the returns show that the
Prohibitionist party is the weakest that ever
rose above “scattering” in our Massachusetts
election returns. In whatever point of view
the twenty thousand supporters of Mr. Phil
lips may be considered, they plainly repre
sent no valid public sentiment sufficient to ne
cessitate or support a separate political or
ganization. Perhaps it is worth while to have
gone through the peculiar trials of this cam
paign to have learned this and the other sig
nificant lessons in which the result abounds.
The position of the Democracy requires no
particular mention, as, unchanged in any par
ticular, they have tried to make the most of
the new situation—with their usual success in
this State.
CANADIAN ANN NX A TJON.
At a meeting in Chicago on Wednesday of |
last week Senator Trumbull spoke of the 1
question of annexation aa follows:
It is for the mutual advantage, both of the
United States and of the inhabitants of those
colonies, that they should be under one gov
ernment. They want to sell us their lumber
and other products, and we want the benefit
of their market and they of ours. We want
to be rid of all those officials stretched along
the dividing line across the continent, those
Custom House officials, and so on; and we
want free and uninterrupted intercourse from
the north-western part of the continent, and
frem this city, to the ocean. That is the de
sideratum of the North-west. 'The natural
outlet of these great lakes, and of this part of
the Union, is through the St. Lawrence, Give
us possession of that and it will be an easy
matter to open a communication that will soon
bring to this outer harbor of Chicago the ves
sels from all the nations of the world.
It is as much for the interest of the inhabi
tants of those colonies to he under our Gov
ernment as it is for us to have them. There
was a time when we could not expect them to
join their fortunes with ours. It has been
their boast for years that a slave could not
breathe theirair. Hut now slavery is removed.
We have a free government. We have a gov
ernment where the people rule. Let them
come in and take part with us, and our legis
lation shall be so shaped, in my judgment, as
to make it for their interest to unite their des
tinies with ours. And then, when :his line ot
communication shall be opened to the ocean,
this city, situated at the head of these great
waters surrounded by a country of the great
est fe.'tility and of vast extent, midway of the
continent, a country inhabited by an intelli
gent and thrifty and free people—the day is
not distant when it would he the great city of
the world.
POLITICAL.
Wendell l’hillips is a firm believer in the
infallibility and justice of the ballot. tSo are
we—in his present case.
For an election in which so many sharp su- j
perrisors were around, the New Vork elec- i
tion was exceedingly dull.
Minnesota has concluded to send an 'alf and
’alf delegation to Congress, one republican
and one democrat, and not two democrats as
at firat reported.
The New York Times alleges that the demo
cratic gain in the rural districts was the work
of repeaters for which the republican manag
er* were not prepared.
Gov. Bullock of Georgia, reports the pros
pect* bright for the republican party at the

Congressional districts.

i Saarbrucken has prospered through the
war, which has brought the whole town much

At least three thousand German provision
columns are daily occupied in collecting
everything eatable in the neighborhood of
l’aris, though interminable provision columns
are sent from the railway stations at Nogent
'and Nantcuil. In making requisions there
are frequent fights with the l’ranc-tireurs.
At Tours the recent aurora borealis was re
j garded by the people as a sure augury of the
defeat of the Prussian invaders. No aurora
borealis had been witnessed since 1847. It
was then looked upon as a portent of extraor
i dinary events, and as a matter of fact the
: revolution of 1848 quickly followed. In
] Florence the people were greatly terrified by
the aurora borealis, and considered it as an
evil omen.
When the bugle sounded the recall for the
regiment of dragoon guards (Prussian), on
| the evening following the battle of Metz. C02
1 riderless horses answered the familiar signal
of their own accord. Some of them came
dashing gayly up; others again, came up at a
weary walk; and yet others pressed forward,
halting painfully on three feet, or covered
with blood and wounds. Put they all took
their wonted places in the ranks of the regi
ment, and as they rnnged themselves into line
the empty saddles upon their hacks were sad
j reraindeis of the probable fate of their absent
masters.

GENERAL BUTLER 1XTER VIEWED.
A correspondent ot the Tribune has re
cently interviewed General Butler, who gave
him the substance of a speech which he intends
to make at an early day on the polity the
Administration ought to pursue to keep the
republican party together and insure its vic
tory in the next Presidential election. He
says:
“War memories will not much longer fur
nish political capital, and that the true policy
for the Aduiinistion is to at once demand and
enforce tho Alabama claims, which, if vigor
ously prosecuted to a satisfactory settlement
within the next year, would make the re-elee
tiou of Grant inevitable. England would
come to our terms at once when she found
we* were in earnest and determined to enforce
them. There w ould be no war, for England
does not go to war with a first-class power.
The Republican party he said, is not now
united upon a single question of public policy.
Upon the taritl question it is split in two by
the backbone of the Alhglianhs. Upon all
financial issues the division is almost as
marked. The party has no longer any coher
ent force and recognizes no leadership. It
gives no support to the administration it lias
chosen, which was not able at the last session
of Congress to carry a single one of the
measures it proposed. The San Domingo
treaty failed in the Senate in spite of all the
influence the President could bring to bear.
Creswell's one idea of abolishing the franking
privilege was lost. The Secretary of the
Navy did not get the appropriations he asked
for to carry on his department. The army
was reduced, notwithstanding the protests ot
the War Department. The Attorney Gen
eral's office was knocked in pieces, Dout
woll’s financial measures were badly cut up.
There was never before an Administration pos
sessing bo iittle influence witli a Congress ot
its own party. In reply to a question as to
the nature of the settlement he would have
proposed to England and the way of bringing
it about, Gen. Duller said that a special agent
or embassador extraordinary should be sent
immediately to London ami be instructed to
put the case to Earl Granville somewhat in
this way: We have waited long enough for a
settlement of the claims, my Lord, and we
propose to wait no longer. Theg are a con
stant source of irritation between our Gov
ernment and yours, and between our people
and yours, and no good can come of longer
delay. Desides, it has become a question of
political policy, with us at home, and we are
determinid to have a settlement at once,
amicably, if possible, but if it is not possible,
then by other means. Now, these are the terms
we offer you. We will assume the claims and
settle witli our own people, and we will take
from you all your provinces north ot us.
They are are only a burden to you, and must
sooner or later gravitate to us. \\ e want
them now to get rid of the expense ami an
noyance of keeping up Custom Houses on n
frontier line of 4000 miles, and to settle the
trouble about the fisheries. We do not pro
pose,-however, that you should barter them
away or abandon them in any dishonorable
way. We will have a plebiscitumand we w ill
agree to take only such Provinces ns shall
freely elect to join the I'nited States, but the
vote must he taken by the Provinces, for we
will have nothing to do with your Dominion
which you put up to make an unfriendly
power on uur Northern border, when you
thought we should have a powerful enemy at
the South in the successful Confederate
States. When the vote is taken, which must
be done without the influence of your gov
ernment agents, we will give you a receipt in
lull of all claims we have against you, and
take only such provinces as vote aye upon the
question. This we consider a liberal oiler on
our part, and it is our ultimatum. If you do
not accept it, we propose to fight.”

The Westminster Kevitw for October has
just been republished hv the Leonard Scott
Publishing Company, 140 Fulton Street, New
York. It is a number of more than average
excellence, and also, on account of the sub
jects of some of its papers, ot more than
usual interest to the readers in this country.
Among the papers which will be universally
read arc the following: “American Litera
ture," “John Wesley’s Cosmogony," “The
Laws of war,” “Gunpowder,” and “The New
York Gold Conspiracy." No other English
Keview harmonizes so thoroughly with the
progressive spirit of the age. It will be with
lively interest that the public will take up this
number and read the critical remarks on our
writers, dead and living, in the first-named
article; and the equally critical comments on
the heroes of the late Gold Conspiracy which
forms the subject of the last article, and which
as a striking chapter in the history of finance,
has been thought worthy of a place in the
pages of a quarterly review.

Tlio Daily Advertiser says Mr. Hall L. Da

furnishing to the government the special pen
sion checks, which under the new regulation
of paving pensions by cheeks drawn to the
order of pensioners, the Pension Bureau is
arranging to furnish each pension agent in
the country. There are fifty-nine different j
agencies located in the different States and j
Territories, all of which are to be provided j
with a special pension check and many of
them with two, one can be drawn upon the
local depository, and one upon some of the
large cities, as Boston, New York, Cincinnati,
4c., according to the locality of the pension
agency. The fulfilment of this contract in
volves the use of about four tons of paper
specially manufactured for this purpose, for
the delivery of one million of these checks at
one time. Mr. Davis is now ready to furnish
these checks as fast as they can be printed

The Telegraph says there has recently been
placed on the lot of Prof. Smyth in the grave
yard at Brunswick, a granite shaft, or capped
monument, of llallowell granite, of fine pro
portions and of easy graceful lines. It is
severely simple in design, and thus all the
better fitted to stand over the remains of one
whose character was moulded like that of
the lute Prof. Smyth. The shaft bears the
inscription—“Smyth" on the north front, and
suitable inscriptions upon the other faces.
The stone itself is one of the best samples
from the llallowell quarries, and it was cut
by Mr. Isaac 11. Danlorth.

A gentleman writing from Piscataquis snjs
there is a general complaint that apples are
