TIE ELEGTION YESTERDAY. 'Tho olection yesterday passed of quictly, the volo boing larger (han usual at a charter election, ‘The majority for Mr. Tanntson and for tho others on the Democratic city ticket will nol be lesa than 8,000, bub the exact figures will be found stated in tha tables, This rovorral of the naval majority in this clty {s duo to the largo increase in tho Domocratic majorities in the Democratic districts, notably tho Fifth, Sixth, Bovouth, Ejghth, and Seventeenth Wards, and to the extraordinary falling off in the Republican wards, ospecially the Third, Fourth, ‘Lenth, Eleventh, ‘I'welfth, aud Thirteenth Wards, Mr, Hanntsow had the advantage of strong personal popularity, commanding the undi- vided snpport of his party, aud drawing out tho full vote, while Mr, Wrrant waa largely unknown, and to soo extent unpopular with Republicans, who permitted their per- sonal dislike to so far control their votes ag to defoat not only the candidate for Mayor, but the wholotickat, ‘I'he Democratic ticket was strengthened my tho namo of Mr Serrr, a wealthy German, a brower, with ox- tensive business connections, and many of his countrymen, not content with voting for hin, voted also for all (be Democratic candi- datos. Dospito the largo majority obtained by the Donocratio candidates, the City of Chicago ia nono the Jess Republican on ull questions of national polities, ‘I'he Demoorntie victory yeaterday was duo mainly to tho locel con- sidorntions wo have named, and not to any change in public sentiment on the great issues which dividg tho political particn of the country, or on which the Solid South is arrayed against tho North, against the Con- stititntion, and agaiust the very existouce of the Government. Under the tide of majority for tho city ticket the Democrats luvo olcated the town officers for the North and West Towns, aud have mndo foveral gains in the Common Council. ‘Tho Socialists Lave electad two, and por- haps three, Aldormon, while thelr genornl vote is somowlhnt lnrger than it was Instyenr. THE PRESIDENTS POSITION, ‘The chief interest in the struggle batwoon the Democrats ond Republicaus in Con- gress centres upon tho probable action of the President. _ ‘the Demoernts have a majority in both Honses, and, if thoy can curb their impationee and use the party lash judictous- ly, they may prevail to tho extont of passing their political legislation as a part of the ap- propriation bills, ‘Tho issue will then bo in tho hands of.the Prosident. If ho shall ap- prove tho bills thus passed, the extra session will probably: bo closed at once, and the Democrats will go to thefr homes rejcicing, not morely over o temporary triumph, but over a new condition of things which will enable them to carry tho next National clec- tion by frand and violence, without rosiraint, and without dangor of punishment. If tho President shall disapprove tho bills, tho Democrata will not bo able to pass them over Lis veto, aud they must thon oither pass the approprixtion bills unincumbered by the political legislation and appeal to tha coun. try fairly, or they must assuma tho respon- sibitity of refusing to vote supplics, and risk the popular verdict upon that vengeful and revolutionary proceeding. ‘The Prosident’s action will bo the turning point in the strig- plo, and it is natural that there should bo grent ouriosity and much speculation as to what it will bo, . No ono, of course, is authorized to spéak for the Provident in thia matter, and it is highly improbable that his como will bo definitely outlined until the billy shall have Veen passed and actually submitted for his approval or disapproval, In tho meantimo, howover, there are certain principles nnd conditions which must exercise n very con- sidorable influonco over his decision, aud from an analysis of those the probable course of tho President may bo safely predicted. ‘Tho Domocrats desiro to accomplish these things by their proposed logislation, vi; Tho repeal of tho jurors’ test oath; (2) tho prohibition of tho em. ployment of tho army to keep pence at tho polls; and (3) the abandonment of ev- ery National safeguard for the suporvision and protection of Natioun! elections, In or- der to achicve theso designs, the Democrats propose to attach them to the appropriation bills, with the threat that supplics for the support of the Government shall ba cut off uuleas the President submits to their dicta- tion, ‘This is the shapo in which the matter will como before the President. For tho purpose of impartinlly oxamining what the President's sonse of duty will prob- ably be, suppose wa concede that he is not personally opposed to tho “negative legisin~ tion" proposed by the Damoerats, Tt is nat Iukely that ho sete much store upon the jurors’ tost-oath, for the Republivans gon erally do not regard it as warty fighting for, Dut actually offered to repeal it an their owit motion, Prosident Iaves ts not. predixposed in favor of tho use of troops wt clectiona, and. certninly would not call ugon them or maine. tion their employmont at elvetion-tinm, ex- copt iu casa of extraordinary nevaniity ; it is possible, therefore, that hoe would emsent to strike out that portion of the Anuy -bill “vhich provides (hit troops may be ualled upon to keep peace at the polly, if such con. kont favolyad nothing more. Lt in harder to believe that hs would, under any circum. stanced, acqulescs in tha purpose of expunging from the United tates statutes every practical mibann for protceting the National elections from corruption and violonca; but wo will even — admit thut he would vonsont to thisunder tho con- vielion that the cluctions will be uefe and fair under the restraint of Stato and: lvcal authority, ‘Then the Domoeratio measures would tid hun inn frame of miad free from all projudico againat.tho objveta in viow, Even under the conditions we havo de- soribed,—all favorable to tha Duimoeratio au bition, —tho President will bu confrouted by certain principles whiok. must anake him hesitate to sign the Democratic bills, With- out giving any partisan rensons why he should refuse thom his slgnature, and with. out dwelling upon his respunuibility to those who elected hin, he would bo obliged to ask limsolf ot luust three leading questions, viz.: (1) Is nut Congress endeavoring to ubridge tho Prvaldont’s conatitutional function as Commander-ln-Chief of tho arwy? (2) Is not Oongrows seeking to take from tho Prosident his coustituiional prerogative of yoto, by intimidation? (3) Ts not Congress ronsuorling the dangerous dovtrine of Stato Sovereignty and denying tho right of the nation ta regulate and control oven National oloctions? Unluse the President cquid satisfy Llmuelf that Cougross was doing none of thogo things, he would not foel justifled in approving the proposed Domocratig legisla. tion, even if he wore in sympathy with its aims, ‘Theso nro tho easontial prineiples invelved which must govern the decision of tho Vreui- dent,—for overy not of his Administration provos that ho ia sausitive ta all oneroach- monts upon the conatitutionnl rights of nny braneh of the Government. ‘Tho Denwernls eay that, if the President shalt refuse his signnturo lo the bills as they pass, on tho ground that Congress has no right to threaten tho Preatdent as to tha usa of the velo pow. cr, they will pasa the political monsurcs Bey. aratoly, and thus constrain his ‘Appxoval thereof, ut this will not bo his sale renson for refusing his approval, hut only one of the reasons, and tho removal of this ningle objection will not apply to tho others, It is stills gravo question whother tha striking out of the words ‘to keop the ponco nt the polly,” as applied to tho use of tho army, is not tantamount to a prohibition of tho Pres- ident’s employmont of tho army under tho express injunctions of the Constitution, that tho United States shall protect every Stato “ngainst domestic violence”. upon application of the Tegistntura or tho Governor of the State. If such application should be mado to suppress domestic vio- lenco on election-day at or near tho polls, the President might find a reason for refus- ing it in tho light of the Congressional de- bate fororunuing tho express prohibition of atch employment of United States troops. Bo, too, the Constitution places the requisite authority in Congress to regulate ‘tho times, places, aud manuer” of holding elec- tions for Congressinen; the Nationnl Eloe- tion law was ati nsgortion of this right when it had boon demonstrated that National nuper- vision was necessary to protect thy C. sional elections from local fraud quit violence. When Congress: proposes to abolish tits supervision, as the Democrats do, on tho ground that it is unconstitutional and an in- torferonce with tho “sovereign” nuthSrity of cach State to tolerate and condono, fraud if it seos fit to dogo, thon tho Prenident myust consider whether this is not na direct attack on the Conntitution, ns well as on the welfare of the country, aud determine what his duty is under that light. hore is no reasonable doubt that Prosi- dont Hayes will bo governed by theso con- stitutional principles, Ho is intrusted with a power equal to one-third of all the votes in {ho Senate nnd Hone. Itis bis sworn duty to protect the Constitution by tho exorciso of that power, Ho has always evinced the courage of his convictions, aud the desire to avoid a controversy with Congress will not iniluance him to do otherwise in this issue. Withont regard, thon, to auy opinion as to the Prosidunt’s “ stalwartness,” tha condi- tions under whieh the Democratic measures will como to him will-bo such that ho will undonbtedly roturn them without his np- proval. AN UNEXECUTED TREATY. ‘Tho 'Yrenty of Berlin,. which was signod with such a flourish of trumpots, and which secured for Disnacit a triumphant entrance into London, is now in process of exocution, and obstacles rise at overy stop. ‘Two of these obatacles Lave assumed such dimen- sions thot already the Signatory Powers aro in a suarl. ‘Cho Europea Commission which was sont into Eastorn Ronmolia has officially veported that the provisions of tho treaty cannot bo oxeonted for long timo to come, In view of tho dangerg).gf such o delay, England has proposed that there shall to a joint occupation of tho''pravince, and En. gland, France, and Ttaly have agreed to send contingents, Germany hea wisely declined to take part in the occupation, which will leave her free to act iu any contingency that many occur.

On Sunday last, at 4 o'clock in tho aftor- noon, ‘Tostis Coctnaye, an infra: man GO years of age, hat just left the sidowall at tho corner of Madison and Clinton streets to cross Madison, when ho was knocked down by a horse drivon at grent speed, hauling 9 bugay in which were two men. A fow hours Inter Mr, Cocunans died of the injuries ho ind revvived. Considering the eciroumatancos that tho horse was drivon at auch 8 speed through tho public streots on a Sunday aftornoon, it violation of Inw and of publi® decency, and that after they hed sevn, a8 ono of then admits, the old man “spin avound” by the force of tho ‘blow, the presumption is frreaintible that tho two mou in the buggy were = drunk. No othor con- clusion is consiatont with an intalligent stnderatanding of the ease, ‘Cho horse was deiven with stch spood, and turned tho cornor go closo to the eldowall, that thera was no tino to give the old mon warning, or oven for him to eseapo the horse forced whon aud over him by the less rational nnituate in the vehicle, Ono of tho two mon in tho buggy said that nt n distonco of three Locks from the placa he “topped, looked back, but didn’t think the man was hurt, and so drove on.” ‘Tho othor man, tho driver, anid: “Did not seo the deceased until upon him ; saw the horse striko him-and spin him around, but did nat imagine ho was hurt; if I had known that anything serious had occurred, would have returned.” Fortunato- ly a witness recognizéd tho two persons who wero in tho buggy, atherwise it is probable no one would have ever known who thoy were, the partics themsolves having been iueapable of giving the maltor a second thonght, Onc of the many great institutions which hove been handed down us part of the pal- ladintn of liberty and as a pratoction to life, liberty, and property, is the ollice of Cor- oner and tho judicial body known as tho Coronor's nquost.
