On all questions Bf legislation likely to arise it was quite at sea. 1 As to finances it coalesced freely with the addle- c leaded teachers of the paper money gospel, and c it did so in the face of its own most honorable raditions.'' v Fear of the South was the Cause.?The ^ Evening Commercial has the following: The jreat victory that has been won shows that the c people of the Northern Slates are true to the ? principles for whioh Grant, Sherman, Garfield a ind Hancock fought. There were other issues, >ut this was the great overpowering one. The ariff played a part, but was it not fear of the iouth that brought the tariff question out ?? The South as managed to-day is antagonistic to D he North in all its parts. The demand for free rado comes from the South. The "changes" ti isked for wero first heard there. It was a de- 8 ermination that the South should not rule Hm* p lountry through Hancock, Bayard, or any other Northern man that brought about the result of resterday. We may deny this, may sneer at the 'bloody-shirt," and prate about the "war being v iver," but these are facts and cannot be dis- '1 [>uted. A Cheerful Voice from the Soctii.?Allan- q a. Go., November 3.?Commencing on the relult of the election the Constitution says : It is E he culmination of a series of blunders begin- b ung with the Potter commission and ending vitb <mrrende^" dr't'ifec narty to the selfish C 'liims of an element which had Mr. John Kelly ct ir its commanding general and Mr. Thomas A. tl [endricks as a volunteer adjutant?blunders, j] anked and supported and almost overshadowed y a halting, limping campaign which crippled self at every corner. Whatever regrets we may have over the result Vl re largely tompered by the fact that as far as p< tie Democratic party is concerned it will be ef- n active in bringing to tho front new forces, nof iSiies, now men. The thoughtful Democrat * rill draw from it consolation that much of the ubbish that has formed the stock in trade of a hiftless politicians and reckless lenders will be 'j wept away and room made for issues that arc b ractical and paramount. It would appear that is he line of sectionalism has been sharply drawn p y the voters of the North, but there is nothing cpressing in this fact. We are willing that . lie North should draw a sectional line in poliics if the South bo permitted to draw, too, a n cctional liuo with respect to progress and im- c< rovement of tliose conditions and forces which u take a people happy in tliair fields, tliqjr work- jf hops and their homes. We hare a prosperous Qj iture before us, and to this end we should look itently. We have the cause of public educaon to promote, and the welfare of a great and c< rowing section to foster. The South expected 01 ttle more from Gen. Hancock's administration inn it will ask from Gen. Garfield's. We want o< othing more than simply exact, absoluto jusee. If the new President owes nothing to tho -^r outh, lie at least owes something to the coua y, and we shall be glad to see him cancel this ebt by giving us an administration as fair, just 1,1 nd clear as that of Mr. Hayes. Dionifed and Sensible.?New York, Novem- P Br 8.?The Journal ef Commerce, in comment- ei ig on the elections says : The Republicans have jhieved a very signal victory. The Democrats ave been defeated throughout the entire Northrn Stales, the local exceptions being insufficient i qualify the general success of their opponents. ai maybe said by heated paitisans, smarting Wi ndcr defeat, thai there have been frauds, bri- 0( sry and oppression, to produco this results.? 'e concede that all which official piwer and .visli use of money could do has been done to ( icure this great victory for the dominant party, at there is something more than this. The cv ictory has been gained and the defoat inflicted th y an honest counting of the vote, and the county may be congratulated that the nowly elected resident may take his sent with a feeling of itisfaction that, over and above the votes that lay havo been unduly influenced on either side, e has been fairly elected by the suffrages of je people. Many Republicans assume that all irtue and patriotism of the country were on the L ido of that party, but n still greater ofTenco was b< ominitted by Democratic speakers and writers i their personal denunciation of the character f the Republican nominee. Tliero was nothing v< ) justify such vituperation. We hope iliet the hi ominnnt parly will noon have a working mit- w >rity in both houses of Congress, and thai they 01 tay be bold fairly accountable for the manage* (' >eat of publio affairs.

Again: In Delaware, Ilenry, Randolph Vayno, Marion, Warren, Hamilton, Lake, loward, Wabash, Steuben, and Parke ounties, open and notorious frauds were ommittcd. The ballot-boxes were 6tuflfed nd gangs of repeaters got in their dirty rork at nearly every polling precinct.? 'hesc facts wero bciug discussed in the ommittcc-rooms this uiorniug, and some no remarked: "Well it is too lateto talk bout it. Wo can do nothing now." "Yes,but wo can next month, if the same hmg is repeated," I auswered. " W-hat cau you do ?" asked the Enquirer ran. "Do ? Why, if the Republicans coninuc to carry Indiana for Garfield by the atno scoundrelly frauds that they carried il fr'Porter, we can refuse to give their Elccjrs certificates of election. Let the matit go to Congress and have that body inestigate the frauds committed in this State 'hat's what we cau do. "Now this is good meat," said the Enuirer man, who is a Republican, and he dded: "Rut you Democrats have nol ot the nerve to do nnything of that kind." "That may be, but I do not believe thai lov. Williams will givo any man a ccrtifiito of clecfttw if k h jyr.ovcd to hini thai iat man was elected by uublus&iujr fraud [e is an honest man, and believes ic standig ly the rights of the people." This is about the substance of the ennsrsation which occurred. So far as I am ersunally. aud politically concerned I do ot rctraot oue word. It may bo giveu a igti-offioial bearing on account of my correction with the Democratic |State central ad executive committees, but that is purcr unwarranted. I conversed with no rnemer of the committee upon the rjucstisn. It i my opinion that, if the Republicans reeat their outrageous frauds in November nd succeed iu obtaining a fraudulent ma>rity for the Garfield electors, the Govcror of Indiana should refuse to issue the jrtificatcs of election until the frauds couilitted are investigated. Oil the other haud, ' the Garfield electors receive a majority r u fair and honest voto of tho people, they re eutitlcd to, and should receive, their jrtificatcs of clcotion. If this is treason, take the most of it. 18 it a "damnable rebel conspiracy to vindlc the people out of the State ?'' No. It is siuiply u warning to the politjl luiid pirates in the Ilepublican party of idiana to have a care'next Tuesday week i repeating their hellish frauds.

SIRS WHICH THE LAW CANNOT REACH. j There are various kinds of sins committed j every day, aud by almost everybody, in this sinful world of ours, some which the law caunot reach, and some which it will not. " In many cases, in this day of personal cring iug aud party favoritism, it is the sinner and not the sin that we are striking at.? There are some crimes that are so difficult to analyze and define that it is almost im' .possible to bring them within ?ho inter' dieted calendar, and under the law of the i statutes. The facilities for a muu to con. ecnl his shortcomings and cover up his tracks are ample uod ousv of access to all wko mpyndetMro tq vqjy \lwmi selves theshadow of a great name or the regis of official position. Tt makes a vast difference. , iu the trcatmcut of tho case, as to whose ox is gored or whoso bull did it. Justice is represented as being blind and holding the well balanced scales with equal and steady ! hand, but this beautiful allegory has passed I into a faded fiction of law, or a wild freak r of the imagination. It is true the world moves and we move with it, b*ut not always iu tho right direction. There is a rctrogrado movement, 1 eveu in revolutions, although it is said they never go backwards. Every new idea or sentiment is not an improvement ou the , past, and some things, besides wine, are mo uoiicr r??r being old. Stealing is a crime puni.-hublo by law, ami yet you can steal a man's good name, which is above the price of rubies, and go unwhipt of jus. ticc, not that you arc not culpable and do, serve to bo dealt with as a malefactor, but that your sin is of that naturo which the law of the land does not .usually take cog nixanco of. You may b? on the popular > sido and have friends cuough in official posi. tions to thwart the purposes of the law and prevent it from reaching your case. The Spartans had a law which took the penalty from the commission of crime and placed it ' upon the act of being detected. We have I adopted, this mode of legal procedure to 'some extent, and have even gone further, , for wo do not a'ways punish the criminal, even when detected. The law of society and custom often abrogates and supercedes the regularly constituted law of the land. i A great do il of the contempt for law and order which now prevails to such a fearful . extent all over the land, may be largely nttrtbftjod to the lax administration of jus ticc in failing-d.o punish those who openly defy its sacred ofenettt$ and live in daily violation of the laws of botli tiwi moral and civil codes. IIow can we expectNtp.s^.nprcss crime, have our laws respected and^Y prosper as a people, so long as we fail to 'cnforco tho laWs and rct^amions that binfl society and government together? .We have any number'of laws upon our statute books which are never onforccd, because they arc not popular, and fail to be sustained by public opinion. The law against duel ling is not enforced, and never will be, until a change in the popular feeling is effected. These things have a bad effected. These things have a bad effect, inasmuch us they bring the law into disreputo and accustom the people to ignore its binding obligations, and treat its sacred behests with contempt. If one law can be violated with impunity, they cannot see why another should not, and thus its restraining influence is weakened, ard crime is encouraged Many persons arc prompted, often from tho best of motives, to protect their friends and screen them from the penuhiop of a violated law ; but it is a bad precedent, and works evil in tho end. All bad and inefficient laws should be at once abolished, and those of tho better and more necessary class that remain should be rigidly enforced against all offenders, without any respect of persons, places or positions. A law that cannot Veoch a crime which it forbids and was intended 'o punish, is u positive evil, and works mischief to the body politic and society at large, and should be promptly abolished. The law against carrying concealed weapons may be enforced in the towns and cities where Rpecial ordinances are passed to protect society within their corporate limits, but the State laws on this subject nro not worth the paper they arc written on. from tho fnr>i tlmt mill ? ?... uevcr be cuforccd. Nobody will act the part of an informer, and the consequence is, nobody will eve; be tried for tho offence Thus we see there are many crimes which tho law either cannot or will not reach. ? ? Charleston Girls in 1733.? A petition was addressed^ in 1733, to tho Governor of South Carolina by sixteen maidens of Charleston, which ran thus : ''The bumble petition of all the maids whose names are under-written : Whereas we, thj humble petitioners, are at prcsuut in a vory melancholy disposition of mind, considering how all the bachelors are blindly captivated by widows, and our own youthful charms thorcby neglected ; in consequence of this, our request is that your Excellency will for the future order that no widow presume to uiarry any yuung Ulan until the uiaids are provided for ; or clue to pay each of thcui a fine for satisfaction for invading our liberties ; and likcwiso a line to be levied on all such bachelors as shall be married to widows. The great disadvantage it is to as ' maids is that the widows, by their forward carriage, do simp up the young men, and ( have tho vanity to think their merit beyond , ours, which is a great imposition on us, who ought to huvc the preference. This is humbly rocommcndcd to your Excellency's consideration and hope you will permit no further insults. And wo poor maids, in duty i bound, will evor pray." Tlio forldru six\ teen would Uavo vory much approved the ; edict of tho Portuguese King which forbade widows nbovo tho age of fifty from remarry[ ing, oir tho ground that experience taught j that widows of thftt age commonly wedded f young men of property, who dissipated tho ) fortunes such marriages brought them to I the prejudice of children and other rcl.i' live*.

Among other-things he said : ' The war of the Union, so far as the crack of the rifle is concerned, was decided over fifteen years ago. Otherwise, unfortunately, it is not finished. One party has sought to keep up sectional nuiuioHuics and to widen rather than to close the chasm betweon the North and the South. Thnqtlcst ion now Is, what kind of a Union jpjhis t<> Union^^ftjrc^wbere scctio^^mlmMity is still rife. This question is to bo settled >k:. is..n in ?? - -??? ? ? in id lull, iiiu uiuuy uieu piacc iiicir party ahead of their country- This is tho attitude of the Republican party. To the Democratic party we owe the acquisition of territory and the legislation which has made our couutiy what it is now?tho home of couutlcss millions." On the question of tho solid South, Gen. McClcllau said when tho pressure that had made her solid is removed she will divide on li.ing questions, and there will bo no more solid South. IIo did not wish the success of the Democratic prrty to depend on the solidity of any section. As to ihe cry that the Democratic party will do troy the industries of tho country, he said the Democratic party has been in power five y^ars and has not impairod or ruined any industry. The tariff ought not to be a party issue. Our people aro averse to direct tazntiou, but the tariff necessary to provide for payment of the public debt is so great that it is necessarily protective. The tariff question effects.sections, aud thoso sections will send a prohibitionist or freetrader to Congress, be he Democrat or Republican, according as they think their interests dictate. Centralization of power is the most important feature in this canvass. Tho power of the government has beeu found sufficient to settle all internal difficulties and to put down the great rebellion, and he did not see what astroug government is wanted for uuless to put down the people." . Tiik Side Sai?dlk on the Turf.?Tho twenty-mile equestrienne race bctwecu Misses Jewett, I'imico and Ruckingham camo near being a flat failure. Th after nouu was cul<l uuddisugrccub'c, a strong wind blowing froui the north. The Jockey Club track was heavy and the attendance small, Miss Buckingham, the "Muzeppa" rider, it ,^as thought would give the other ladies a tCj^Vvvely chase, but sho failed entirely. _ Bitllijfrifoi Wfla ? pi?or, for she dropped behiud from the start, her aniuial goiug at an easy circus lope, while tho others were galloping with long and rapid strikes. The actress proved no uiatch for the tough little girls of the Far West, and at the fourth time around, having lost nearly a mile, she suddenly threw up tho sponge. One of her groomsmen jumped into her saddle and spedaround tho track, as if to show her how easy a thing it was, but she did not try again. Miss Jewett had taken the lead at the start and kept it until th3 sixth mile, when Miss Pinnco suddenly sprang to the front and maintain* cd a strong lead until the end of the thirteenth mile, when, it is said, Miss Jewett was unable to stop her horse, and so kept ou and made two miles without changing. She did not gain much by this, as Miss Pinnoc soon caught up with her, and they came down the homestretch of the fourteenth mile together. This wr.s tho most exciting heat of the contest, and tho remainder of tho race was apparently going to be very close; but Miss Piuncoeot a bad horse for the fifteenth mile and it ran backwards, sideways and every way but straight ahead, while Miss Jewett's was going like the wind. Then Miss l'inneo rode to tho Judges' stand and said, "I will not rido against a two-mile horse; it is contrary to agreement." No amount of entreaty would induce her to go ahead, so Miss Jewett rodo out the remaining six heats, making her twenty miles in 50 minutes and 20 seconds, and winning the purse of 82,500. Miss l'inneo rode back aud forth in front of tho grand stand un'il her rival had received tho complimont of tho judges, but entered no< . protest It is said that she cried at her fail? uro. ** ? ? .? 11 Somk Uses ok Charcoal.?Charcoal; V laid fiat while cold on a burn causes the pain to abate immediately : hv limvinc ir nn for nn hour tho burn scums almost healed /J when tho wound is superficial.
