RetuniB from Pennaylvania indicate Uie elee?
tion of the Administration ticket by u larife
niajority though reduwd vote. James 11.
Ludlow, the Democratic candidate for Judge
of the BapBflBM Court, runs ahead of his ticket
in most of the countieB, in cousequence of the
ilissatisfaction witli Judgo Gordon, the Repub
liean nominee; but tho latter ia undoubt
edly eleeted by a derided majority. The
cireumstancen .?f the refuaal to allow an ex
aniination of the Treaaurer's aicounta, which
in aliuost any other State would have proved
fatal to the prospecta of the candidate, do
not seem to have disturlved Treaaurer Mackey
at all. He is roelected by a large majority,
reeeiving in Philadelphia over 25,000 majority,
while the candidate for Supreine Judge on the
same ticket had but 10.-.7. The Itepublican
candidate for City Treaaurer haa 18,762 niajor?
ity over the Democratic and Reform candi
diitefl. Ab pn-dicted in Tue Tribunb yeater
day, the Reform movement made very little
show, and proved itaelf an insignificant
element in the eleetion. Tho people of
Philadelphia and of the State seem to Ite fond
of Ring rule, and, like the eels in tbo fable,
quite enjoy being Bkinned. Taates diifer.
The first returns from Ohio ahow consid
erable Democratic gains, and the DemocraU
had hopea, if the same ratio of gain is held
throughout the State aa in the countiea heard
from. of the eleetion of Allen for Goveruor,
though the vote for Noyee, Republican, in
llamilton County, shows a Republican gain
over the laat eleetion, when the county was
earried by the Democrate. The lateat returns
received at the hour of going to preas give
tbe Legialature to the Democratfl ?nd make
the eleetion .of Allen probable. Thecarrying of
tbe LegUlatore by the Democrata givj;B them
the Uuited Sta_ea Senator, to iucceed Thur
man.
The retnrns frrnn Iowa alone Bhow a heavy
vote. which is oceaaionod by thecoalition of
Democrata, LiberaTs, and Farmera opon one
ticket against the regular AdmiiiL.tration cau
didates. The Adminiatration ticket ia believed
to be eleeted, however, though the returna
are incomplete._
WALL BTREET.
yeaterday fleomed tbc worst day since the
eraati came. In the Vanderbilt stocks alone
tbe fall indicated a sbrinkage in valuea, in
live hours, of ten million dollars. ln the
name stocks the thrinkage aince the outbreak
of the panic amounta in all to about flfty
uiilliona?aay eighteen millions each on Contral
ami I-ake Shore, and fourteea on Weatern
Union.
Wc deplore tbe wild panic which thua ?ac
riflcea Btockfl at leaa Uian their clear, bed-rock
value. Bnt we have no aoothing sirups to
offer. The intlation in tbeae and nearly all
Uie other aecuritiea commoiil- dealt iu in
Wall Street haa been uureaaonable. The enor
motia pre?Uge of Mr. Vanderbilt haa earried
? verything he touched to prieea which tboae
ou thf inaide knew to l>e utterly without jus
tilic aUon. The reaction waa iuevitable, aud it
goot aa far to the other ertreme. For the
wild PBBB3 that has aeooflipanied the fall, nnd
for tlie neodleB- and wicked aaoiifioea that aro
iiitiiilod, we havo mainly to thauk tho
obflajjiate old luau who refuaed Ui aave tbe

iiieotings of the most radical and oarnest
enoinics ot ? iloitrin.il Uieology. ln the eon*
t.-nnce of the " Free l.eligioniatsr thia week,
iu Cooper InsUtute, the boMflflt and clearest
forma of denial will probably ulternatc with
the vagueat utterances flf myatieal spcculation.
Thore will be aomelliing, pcrlmps, to shock

whilo it ifl scarcely poaaiblo thut such iiuport?

alwaya have been men whu uatut.illy turn to

WJlLACIEB OP AN F.LECTIVR JUDICIAET.
No donbt the specioug urgumenta of the
managing politicians in favor of an elcctive
judiciary will have Bome weight with people
who are rcaUy desiroua of baving honeat ad
inini_tration and a puro and upright bench.
Tbe ciap-trap?for it ia hnrdly anything elae?
about tniHtiug the people to ehoose all the
otbii-ra of goverument, judicial aa well as
legislative and eiecutive, bas a taking souud,
and a good many people aro deceived by it.
There is, of course, tho plain BBflwBB
and denial of eommon sense and ex
perience, but most people prefer listen
ing to demagogiieii- logic to taking the
better counsel of their own observation and
eommon sense. So when the demagogueg,
the trading poliUcians who hold judget-hipa
like all other officca aa part of their stock in
trade, for barter or Bale, lift up theii handa
in horror at Uie thought of taking away the
right of the people to ehoose their own
ofticera, the average voter takea the shock
and repeats that it will not do, that it shows
diBtruat of the people and lack of faith in
popular government, and all that 6>rt of tbing,
and refuaes to take the appoiutment of jud??es
out of the caoens to put it into tho Eiecutive
Cbamber.
It is a beantiful tbeory that a free people
can well be tnuted to select their judicial
offlcers. It iB simple and pretty, and digui_.es
politics, while it ennoalea human natui*-.. Jlad
we never tried any eiporimenta in that line,
or had any experiepce "with caucunea and
pulitit'-il Aaehinery, it would be bard to annwer
it conaiatently with a belief in tho capacity
of man for wlf-goveinim nt. h Rut faeta
outweigh theories. Thia matter of cbooning
judgea is a queation Itetween two. ___Ji U
either Cancu. or Eiecutive. Not by^ nny
means afl the politicians put it, a queation of
taking away the nghU of tho people. The
People do not act any more direetly in the
one eaae tban in ihe other. An elective jud,.
eiary ia no moro iinmediately cho?en by the
peoplo than one appointed by the ?K.
ecntire. Iu both caiiea?and we beg the
voter to consider tbo Btutement cflre
fully?tbe aelection ia one remove fiom
the people. Your caucun ia not tho People;
very far from it. The caucua or priuiary
nuxTting, or whatever you may pleaae to cail
it, ifl a vnry small fraetlon of one party?a
Rtill mu tllei ono of U.e people. It haa a sort
of power delegated, or aanuuied to la' del.-.

THE DEIIT OF hOUtEIABA.
Mr. Kelloprg of Iiouisiana has published in
Tht Pmttmtr, an infortiiation " useful to iu
" vi^torH," an oflirial statement of the debt of
that State, and accompaniea it with tho u?ser
tion that it is in every way complete. Tho
table, whieh dons not differ materially from
other oflieial nxhibit*! that havo BBBB from
timo to tuue promulgutod, shows that the
State hai '">w out honda amounting to $22,
302,800. Iujunctiona againnt &>,5U4,0O0 of this
have been issued by the coiirU of the Statn;
ou the remaiuder the iutereat has been paid
up to Sept. 1.
The value of this I,oiiisiana debt statement
would be greatly iuereased if it told the whole
truth alwmt tho linatiees of the State. Ono
form of Stato indebtedueas, aud by uo mnaua
tho leaat, cither iu importanco or amouut, ia
entirely otnilte.l. It has been the custom both
of tho present Administration in Lotiiaiana
and of its predecessor to atttle claima agaiuat
ita Treaaury by iaauing warrauta whicb, aa
the Auditor and Treasurer are generully uu
able to pay them, and refuae to redeein them
when they can, BtBBBBBtAt a kind of pajier
money for favored officiala to apeculato in.
Tho amount of thise outstanding warraute
haa never been made known to the public, but
is varioualy eatimati'd at from live to twenty
million dollars. Whenever tho Kellogg Gov
(riim.Dt get togetber a littlo more money than
in required to pay the current intereat, they
aell it at auction and Utke pay in warrauta
iaaued during thn preaent year. Onn of thoae
aalea waa advertiaed yeatnrday. Northnrn in
vestora are not very likely, in the light of paat
experience, to put much money into the bonda
of Soutlmm Statea whieh are atill under
Carpet-Hag rule, aud uobody will be dnceived
by any of mtt part ial exhibita put forth by

which people of thia aort never attem to thiuk

would be without the Aator I.ibrary j u?t aa it
is! The grtat metropolis of thi* r'nion, at a
period not more reinote thun ninrtet _, years,
hatl no atndenta' lihrary. There were rireu
luting libraiies, but not one ot tlie only kind
that careful, patieut study neeiLs. Kvcry other
city waa ahead of us. The Fianklifl Lihrary

lt ia of the actu.il rather than of tbc pros

Ifa distinclivc feature, it aeema to us, is the
atrict thlelily with which the trust Uiat Mr.

notbing but conjecture aud usceruined reeulta

to thia very hour, there haa bflflfl uo ilepiirturo
froiu the line of duty whieh the benefactor

In thia our sorrowful day of trimU Ix'trayed
and confidenco misplaccd, is it opportuue to
ask theae Truateee to deparr trom a line of
conduct which ia so clearly marked . To ask
them to buy more books than they ean afford
to pay for?to open the Library at night when
ita rcaources are only siiflicient to keep it open
eight hours of duylight?and, finally, to aold
Mr. Astor because, in the exerciue of a sound
judgiueut, he ehoosea to take hia own time aud
lo aeleet tho object of bia bonefactions f
All wo know aud feel Ls that we havo in
