Gould's performances on last Wednes
day and Thursday have made a govern
ment postal telegraph n necessity in this
country.
Tin : railroad commiaaionor amendment
was side-tracked by the people of this
state by a largo majority , and the next
legislature will have to give us some laws
Instead of commissioners.

The only way to prevent any such
thing is to place the telegraph in charge
of the government.
TUB New York Times pays the follow
ing compliment to Proiidont Arthur :
"His conduct throughout the long and
bitter cauvaea has ohawn no departure
from the courno demanded by the digni
ty and proprieties of hin position , and
thereis no reason to Biupcct him of any
purnosoto change it now. "
Qua legislative delegation should meet
at an early day and ogroo upon the
amendments that nro needed to our city
charter. In this matter they should
consult with the city council. The chart
er needs n thorough revision , and the
subject ought to bo fully and carefully
discussed.

TUB lady clerks at the national capital
ought to take aomo solid comfort in the
following from the New York Journal :
Wo feel real aorry for the lady clorka
in Washington. But they must dry thuir
tears. Grovcr Cleveland is not the man
to turn them out. llo is a bachelor with
n eoft heart. If there is any slaughter
ing to bo done it will bo among the men ,
and it will bo Iho making of inuny of
them.
Tin : 40th Congress will stand 18G dem
ocrats and 130 republicans , a democratic
majority of 47 , instead of seventy-five us
at present. In the South , Dahn , of
Louisiana , Smalls , of South Carolina ,
and three members in Tennessee , two in
Virginia and ono each in Maryland and
West Virginia are republican. Morrison
Is re-elected ; so arc Carlisle , Hewitt , His *
cock , Phelpc , Bolrnont , Randall , Curtin ,
Itoagan , Springer , and Holman.
Wi : understand that private dispatches
have been received from Sovon-Mulo
Barnutn , of Cipher Alley , directing the
democratic leaders everywhere to hold
secret councils and agree upon some planer
( or supporting the national democratic
committee in whatever it may undertake.
What do theeo secret meetings of the
democratic leaders signify ? If they have
elected their man they have no need of
underhanded work , and if they have not
elected him their cabals are in the nature
of a coneplmor.
THIS situation in New York is thus
briefly aummodupby the Now York Times
of last Saturday :
Our returns of the vote of this atato arc
now absolutely complete from all the
counties , and change but ellphtly the
figures announced yesterday. The plu
rality of the Cleveland electors is 1,801 ,
and this number can be modified only by
further correction of clerical errors in the
I'lQtinua which may have happened here
and there , end are aa likely to bo in nn
rijrottion tui the other. The table oj
electoral volte undergoes no chance. I !

No people on the fnce of the glebe indulge
dulgo in communication through tno
mail * to the satno extent AI the citizens
of the United States and the working of
ouf postoflico system is really n mirror in
which is reflected our wonderful increase
in population and the tlurishing condi
tion of our ti-ado. From the last oflicinl
report of the postmaster general it np
peers that the revenue of his department
for the previous fiscal year amounted to
$111,08,0(12,61 ( , A'tor deducting all ex
pnntcs there still remained a revenue
over the estimated cost of the service
amounting to 81,001,281,82. The re
ccipta for the year amounted to.S.Gper
over thow of the previous period of
like duration and considering the growth of
the country , and Iho steady increase of
commerce , tills ascending ratio would un
doubtedly continue had not a changu
boon brought about by the reduction of
letter postage from three centa to two
cento , which went into effect in October ,
188U. The receipts from ordinary postal
revenue for the last year the three cent
letter postage was in operation were $45 ,
107,07 ! ) 24. Under the now law , allow
ing the oauio number of letters to hare
been mailed , itjwould have been reduced to
some $2,781,382 ! ) 1(5 ( , which shown at once
that the noccaaary expenditures became
largely in excess of the receipt * . Thia ,
wo are glad to ace , is gradually being ro-
ducnd , and it will not bo long bcioro
the postoflico department will bo
on a paying basis again. The per cent-
ago of increase in the number of loiters
mailed since the now law wont into
efloct liao been uncqualcd in the previous
history of the department and it la now
reasonable to argue that the additional
number of letters mailed at two cents
rates will make up for the ono cent ro
duction. Cheap postage ia demanded and
will always bo received with favor oven if
congress ia called upon for appropriations
to 'aid the service. It Is a public benefit
and insures to the direct accommoda
tion of business men especially and the
masses generally , moro than any ether
regulation our law makers have to con
aider for the welfare of their
constituencies Postal cards at
all times a play upon the pri
vacy which ia duo to the most insignia"
cant correspondence , are rapidly gene
nto disuse and the popular two cent
otter rate , a little over n year in oxlat-
once , has demonstrated its success in
every particular.
Onoi.r.HA has at last made ita appear
nnco in Paris , notwithstanding the hopes
and procautionn against ita visitation to
.hat city. Great alarm han been created
in the gay French capital , and nil the
lotols have boon dosortcd by the visiting
foroignora. Ilowcivcr , it ia ao late in the
aoauon that it ia expected the plague willie
io of ahort duration , but it is liable to
break out in the spring again with greater
violence , now that the oooda have boon
sown. Meantime , the American author
itioa should renew their precautions
against the introduction of
cholera into this country.
A strict quarantine ought to bo main
lined at all Atlantic seaports , and every
city in the country should early in the
spring undergo n thorough cleansing.
Too much attention cannot bu paid to
sanitary matters until the cholera shall
lave entirely disappeared. Considerable
irotost has boon made by the paper man-
ifaoturors against the embargo on im-
) ortod rags. They want it removed ao
'ar aa it opplioa to countries that are not
nfoctca by the cholera , but wo believe
Imtit ia for the best interests of the
country that ( ho embargo shall bo con-
in'.iud in full forco. The public will
irofor to pay an increasod.prico for paper
rather than to take any risks of intro
ducing cholera in imported rags. The
irst victims of cholera in Paris were rag-
> lckorB , who became infected from im-
lotted raja.
Govitlixon CLEVELAND'S friondi , and
especially the Albany Arr/m , Dan. Man-
n'ug'a paper , aseuro the country that dur-
ug hia administration thoie will bo very
bw changes in the federal cilice ? , and
that civil eorvico will bo strictly en-
bleed and no removals will ba made ex
cept for cause. This may do for the do-
mrtmenln ut Washington , whcro t'ut1 re-
ontlou of experienced clerks wiU bo
necessary for the conduct of buo'inosa
with any degree of safety during the
next administration. But we apprehend
, hat Mr. Cleveland will not bo able to
withstand the pressure of the hungry and
democrats who , under the lead
ership of Ilonri Wattorson and the star-
eyed goddess of reform , will march 300-
)00 ) strong upon Washington in quest of
ofllcus. Wo know how earnestly Hayes
desired to enforce civil service reform
and how ho succumbed to the pressure of
senators and congressmen , and wo don't
believe Mr. Cleveland can withstand the
same pressure any'bet tor IhauHayos.
TIIK abuse that Is being heaped upon
Bt. John and the prohibitionists by some
of the republicans is outiroly uncalled
for. So far as St. John is concerned ,
some one else would have taken the
nomination of the prohibitlonisU if ho
had declined , and the persons boliaving
in prohibition principles would have
stood by their guns. In this respect the
prohibitionists do not differ from the
early abolitionists , who were radically at
variance with everybody and were re
garded by most people as invotorutb
cranks. They voted free soil tickets
and prohibition tickets when there was
not the remotest prospect cf electing
their candidate. They aparatod themselves
solves from the existing parlies , the
whig a and the democrats , who both
agreed on ono thing , and that was the
protection of alavory , under the constitu
tion , within the domain of iho United
Sbica. The true cause of the republican
disaster should not bo shouldered upon
St. John.

Tin : metropolitan papers are all show
ing up their big circulations immcdialoly
following Iho election. Ono would nat
urally suppose that the Now York popora
would have led all the rcat , but the con-
celt is taken out of Ihom by the Chicago
Kill's which issued 238,758 papers on
Wodncuday , and 2.'liG3G , on Thursday.
This was the largest issue in the United
Stales by any ono paper , and the Newt
is certainly "justified in Inviting con-
gralulalion. " The Bir. accordingly extends -
tends its congratulations to the noway
News.
1 UK famous cipher dispatches of 1870
will not soon bo forgotten. The Chicago
.A'eti'd says :
It ia reaoonablo to suppose that Dr.
ftcorgo L. Miller , the aUtesmanly editor
of the Omaha J/eraW.haa sent a congrat
ulatory telegram to Grover Cleveland.
And , by the way , wo remember that the
atatoamanly editor once tent a telegram
to Mr. S. J. Tildon , which road ai fol
lows : "Ignorant whole business. Part
ner powerful motives to fidelity on Gould
order. Can it not bo done through A.
Kountzo , 12 Wall , or myself , or both ?
Kountzo Tildonish republican. Reliable

everybody and use Davis. Answer. "
This telegram has never been explained.
IN this hour of tribulation and uncer
tainty , when our army ia all at sea , and

era located in Europe. Americans im
port a largo quantity of those goods , not-

ean manufacturers acorn to have come to
the conclusion that it is bettor to deal
directly with the merchants than through
Now York middlemen. It Is claimed
that a saving of ton per cent ia thus
made.
WITHIN a fraotion of perhaps ono

There is no duty moro imperative than
that of insisting that the general public
should remember the comparative unim
pnrtanco of the aacendoncy cf ono party
or another , in comparison with the prevalence -
valence of general confidence. Nothing
cm bo moro reprehensible lhan the
feathcr-huadud declamation which precipitates
cipitatos the very evil which it describee ,
by insisting that nil the destinies of the
country are hanging iu the balance , and
that only a particulor decision of the
questions now in doubt can save us from
business anarchy an'1 general ruin. It
has hoa boon perfectly fair to argue that
the businccH interests of the country are
safest in Republican hands , that that
party has boon tried and proved faithful ,
thai wo know just what ita policy wouW
boand that auch policy will conduce moftl
to national stability and prosperity. It
has been perfectly fair nnd Iruo lo stnlo
that a change from Iho known to the un
known , from the republican party , wltli
its firmcaro for the national welfare and
the great policies which it has constructed
and applied , to the democratic party ,
which has advocclod measures aimed at
the national credit , and threatening in
jury to the national Rood , was a change
fraught not only with uncertainty , bill
with absolute dangor. But , without
Abating n word of this , there is such a
thing ao going to far. Tha best way to
bring about a panic ia to keep predicting
a panic. There ia nothing like solemn
assertions of imminent danger to create a
stampede. Careful men have boon for
aomo two or three yoara predicting
gradual approach of stringency , while
inserting the impossibility of
a national crisis : and probably
their cautious and woll-ndvisod courao lias
been a mont effective moans of letaoning
the trials of this soaaon of depression nud
causing it to assume a milder and loss in
jurious form. Wo can Qnd , therefore ,
nothing but severest censure for those
who are diligently tolling the public that
the whole future of the country is trembling
ling in the balance , and that upon the
final determination of the vote in Now
York it depends whathor wo are to have
a gradual return to prosperity or to plunge
at once into the abyss of unrotriovablo
disaster , Unfortunate aa wo believe it
would bp to experience a change of rule
at thia time , it is ahoor nonsense to pro
diet that in any event the country la go
ing to destruction. If it should turn out
tnat Mr. Cleveland has actually been
elected , it would moan just that much
and no moro. The president does not
make the lawa of the nation , nor
does ho docldo what its industrial or
financial policy shall bo except in aa far
aa the passage of now lawa or the repeal
of old ones depends upon hia approval ,
The housp of representatives has boon in
democratic hands ser two years past , and
will remain ao. Thcro is no change about
that. The senate ia now republican and
will remain so. The republican party
haa therefore at present and will continue
to have an absolutely equal voica in the
national legislation , and no vicious meaa
urea can possibly escape ita voto. If all
the approhonsiona existing in the public
mind in connection with the election of a
democratic president were well grounded
it would still bo folly to pretend that the
event would bo the signal for a general
wrecking of valuea and a loss of public
confidoncp. Before the senate could by
any poesibility bo taken from re
publican control the o would bo
ample tlmn to test what
the democrats might propose to
do with newly acquired power , nnd if
they should allow an intention to abuao
it , wo venture the , ( prediction that
their exit from national supremacy , first
in the house and latter in the president's
chair , would bo much moro speedy and
moro sharply otnphasizad than their ac
cession. The Pionoen Press has not hesi
tated to say what it thoroughly believes ,
that a democratic victory -would bo a bad
thing for the nation. But it does not
share in the unreasonable and oxagorated
fear that ouch an event would consign
the country to the doga at onco. Those
who are preaching thia incendiary doc
trine are doing their boat to hasten what
they profess to regard with the greatest
solicitude ; the impairment of general con
fidence and the prolongation of the per
iod of business uncertainty , public trop-
idatlon and financial timidity which has
already berne too severely upon our pros
perity and progress.
UcfVnt ot Tammany in New York ,
Chicago Herald ,
Tno election of Mr. Grace , the nomi
nee of thu county democracy , as mayor
of Now York aignifiea the triumph of
llurbort Thompson ever John Kelloy.
It may well bo doubted if thia ia in the
interest of good government. So far aa
Mr. Grace is personally concerned ho is
an unobjoctional man. J-To haa bean
mayor of Now York nnd haa acquitted
himself very creditably. But there ia
doubt of II. 0. Thompson's iitnosa to
oxorciao the power which the triumph of
hia cnhdidato naturally gives him.
The democratic party pf the nation at
largo haa little interest in the rivalry of
the various factions in Now York City
except as to fir as their conduce may ef
fect thu vote of that state on national h-
sues. The setting up of one loral bssb or
the pulling down of another lias little
aignilicanco outside of the districts where
their roapectlvo adhcronla reside , provid
ing they uro men of the same stamp. In
thin case their ia grave reason to believe
that Thompoon is not an improvement on
Kelly , llo is charged with a good many
things which Kelly has never boon
charged with , and ho is more vindictive
and grasping. As the head man of the
faction which now controls the mayor's
aflico it is probable that his Influence will
bo any thing but good , either for his party
as a whole or for the pooplo.
Mr. Grace will assume the duties of his
position not unfamiliar with them , but
ho will find now difficulties in the situa
tion requiring all hi * tact to moot and
'
qrjCfuuo. Tammany doe's not appear to
have 'boon moro disloyal to Cleveland
than the county democracy. In the local
contest between them the president can
didate lost about 20,000 votes , while the
republican candidate for mayor sank out
of sljght. Thia tolls the story of local
trading which may have cost Cleveland
the atato.
A sTiiuaaia : i < ouiiiis STATIC.
The Election li luxofNoiv York How
lliu'llCHiilt Will HoDoiuriiiliuu ) .
It now seems probable that there will
bo a legal atrugglo over the determination
of the vote of this atato.S
The election laws in Now York nro
elaborate and explicit. The votes for
electors are deposited in seporato boxes ;
as HOOD [ as the poll ia closed the inepooton
of election proceed to innvnis the votes ;
ut the conclusion of the canvass a atatu <
mentof the result is in ado and duly cor
tilled by the inspectors , a true
copy of which is deposited
in thu oflico of the clerk of Iho town or
oily ; the original ttulument is delivered
by thu inspectors or ono of them to the
upcrvisor of the ward or town nithm
twenty-four hour ? after the eamo
have been aubtcribcd ; if there la no su
pervisor , or he shall bo disabled trom
acting , then to ono of the assessors of
the ward or town in which the election ia
held , the supervisors or a pfsors to
whom the original statements ( f the cnn-
vacs of the votes sh&ll have been deliv
ered , or the county board of canvassers.
The country canvassing boards meet
next Tuesday. They take the returns
and proceed to make up the county n- -
port. The law provides that in case it
appears ao the canvassera there have been
noiinalons in the township ami word re
turns they shall cause the returns to bo
sent by ono of thair number to the town
innpectora or canvassers who sent it ,
calling them together lo make such cor-
rcctiona "as thu facts of tno case require. "
But auch town or ward inspcctoia or can-
VAsiora , shall not at uch mooting cbantjo
or niter any decision before mndoby
them , but shall only cauao their canvass
to bo correctly stated. "
From the county boards the returns
are sent by messengers to the secretary
of atato and pass inlo the hands of the
state canvassing board. Tbij body con
slats of the secretary of elate , thu atalo
engineer , the comptroller , the ntlornoy
gonecal and the atato troaurer , three of
whom are sufficient to form the board ,
which meota at Albany on the Wednesday
after the third Monday of November , or
Boonor if all Iho ccrlifiod copies of the
statements of Iho county canvassers nhall
have been received. The secretary of
stnto ia a republican , the other four being -
ing democrats. Their duty ia aimply to
determine , by a computation in addition ,
the number of votes caat for each candi-
dnlo for elector , and lr dcclaro which of
them lina the fjroalost number of voles.
The law aays : "Thoy ahnll make arid subscribe -
scribe on the proper statement n certifi
cate of such doterminalion. nnd shall
deliver the aamo to the secretary of
atato. "
The law further ptovidca that if anyone
ono of the board diaoeut from the decis
ion of the majority ho may wrlto out his
protest and nlo it with the secretary of
atato.
The duty of the secretary of state to
obey the command of the majority of the
canvassing board ia thus explicitly stated
In the statute :
The aecrotary of atalo shall , without
delay , cauao a copy , under the acal of his
ollico , of the certified determination of
the board of atato canvassers to bo deliv
ered tc each of the pora3na therein de
clared to bo elected.
In case errors or frauds are claimed in
the county canvasses the law provldea
that the supreme court ( court of appeals )
may , upon information by affidavit , re
quire the county board to correct such
errors or Bhow cauao why auch correclion
should not bo madt ) , and in the event of
the failure of said board to make auch
correction , or ahow cauap , the court may
compel the board by writ of mandamus
to correct aiich orrora ; and if auch board
of county canvassers shall have rnado iU
determination and dissolve , such court
may compel it to reconvene for Iho pur-
poao of making such corrections.
The court doea not appear to Invo
any authority over the atalo canvassing
board delegated to it by the ataluto. If
after the stale canvassing board isauea
certificates to presidential electora their
dccidon ohouli bo questioned , it is a
matter of doubt whether the court of
appeals could compel thorn to withholder
or change the cortificatea. The duty of
the secretary of state la ao clearly atatcd
that any failure on hia part to deliver
llio certificates according to the direction
of the majority of the board would bo a
palpable malfeasance. If a correction is
made by a county board on order
pf the court the corrected returns must
aland aa the true returns. These corroc-
tiona must , apparently , bo made baforo
the atato board assembles , na ( hia body's
duties nro merely clerical , with no
judicial power. It ia the theory of the
law that all needed corrections must be
made by local boards. From the cor
rected returns the atato board makea the
footings and delivers cortificatea of elec
tion to the poraoua having the greatest
number of votes.
The court of oppaala in Now York is
composed of four democrats and three
