( l.Now York Herald Cnhlo Special to TUB Hni ! . | However much they may endeavor to attenuate the results last Sunday's elections , the conservatives nro fain to admit that the majority In the next chamber of deputies will bo republican. As ttio pnmo object of the campaign undertaken by thu committee of twelve had been to destroy that majority It Is clear that the loaders of the conserva tive party have met with n crushing defeat. Some conservative papers seek to cover the disaster. The cause they represent has suf fered by declaring that there will bo a ma jority In favor of revulon in the now cham ber. ber.This This assertion cannot bo taken for gnspel truth In nny onso. Even If there bo a rcvls ionnt majority It would necessarily Include radicals such us Floquot nnd Clemcncouu. Floauot and Clcnicnccnu allied with royal , isto , imperialists nnd Lloulangir.tsl We should scarcely bollovo It even If wo saw it. The wisest thing the conservatives can do is to abandon all hope of thu constituent assembly for at leant four years to coma and make the best they can of the republic In the mean time. time.Hope , however , h eternal. When ono is dashed ruthlessly to the ground ho is forth with animated by another. Thus , they bo llovo that , thanks to the strife of parties , it will bo found necessary to dissolve the chamber. This , In our opinion , is chimerical. The history of llio last chamber proves that It Is possible. How the government Is to got along , is not nltbgcthor the question. Somo- llow With the support of the majority and In the midst of continual crises , the republican deputies , moro than ever taught by exper ience , will sink their differences , when It is absolutely necessary for thorn to do so. The. conservatives have two roads open be fore them. They may continue tlio policy o : opposition to the knife , their polltlquc do boucnn , to use the parliamentary word. M , do Cussagnno advises thorn to do this , ami argues that good may spring from an excess of 111 , though recent history contradicts him. Another road is open to the conservatives , ono likely to lead their steps through pleas ant places , and In fact to bo moro in conformity mity with the Interests of the conservative cause than that to which M. Oo Cassagimo would lead them , nnd there Is nothing to prevent them from following it instead of wnr to the kinfo on tho'republican policy. Why should noHhu conservatives follow that course pursued in the senate by M. Huffet or M. do AudllTro-Pasquler } Instead of wast ing their strength in futtlo efforts to de tioy , io 'constitution , why should not they unite with the moderate republicans to defend thu real interests of the conservatives ) Why , in a word , should they not bo truly conserva tives ) Opened UH Heart. LONDON , Sept. aJ. [ New York Herald Cable Special to Tin : Hue. I Moro than once reference was made in the Herald lust , July to the fact that the corporation of the city of London d.ld not proffer a xvcdding pift to Princess Louise of Wales on tlio occa sion of her uiurriugo to the Duke of Fife. It Boomed extraordinary thut the richest cor poration in the richest city of the world should not pay the customary attention to an event , the principle character in which was the oldest daughter of the Prince of Wales , where the rest of the world displayed an unusual amount of Interest. The Herald oven suggested that if only llio raid comfort of mi. address HliouUl represent the wedding gift of thocorporationsuchan address should bo ( inclosed In a suitable casket , at least , nnd not In an oaken chest.

It will rccolvo no reply from any odlclal quarter. It is well understood that some gentlemen directly interested would have the soldiers bollovo that Commissioner Tanner's retire ment was on account of his liberal construe- tlon of the law and the now rules , making it casior to procure now or Increase old pen sions. It Is wall known In Washington in every quarter that this Is not true In the least possible dogroo. Your correspondent had a talk with Secretary Noble this after noon in regard to Mr. Tanner's ' intimation that his ( the commissioner's ) order for a re-rating of pensions below f4 a month up to that amount and his order placing the testimony of a private soldier on the sanio footing with that of an ofllcer wcro the cause of his trouble in the department.

Neither were nny of the orders of the commissioner discussed by the presi dent and the secretary of the Interior vvhero the management of the pension ofllco was by them alone discussed. . The Incompatibility of the commissioner as n manager of the pension olllce was lo cated , so far us the objections to him from his superior oWcors were concerned , away from all general orders.
