The October Elections and their Lesson, So far as we can learn, the democrats bave either carried or nearly carricd all the States which bave had elections this October. Even Obio, which was esteemed a perfectly eufe avd relinble State for the republicans, came bear going over to the democracy. The returns indicate that the large and enthusias- tic party which so nearly olected Coloncl Fro mont to the Presidency of the republic has almost altogether Gisappeared, has been swept out of existence within a few months after that | stapcndous manifestation of its power. States, counties, cities which teemed with ardent repub- licane last fall now return a small, ewlen demo- cratic mejority, and the republicans do not seem eurprised or shocked at their losses} One docs not bear their voice anywhere. Even the Tribune Geserte “bleeding Kansas” for stocks. The fact illustrates a peculiarity of our poli- tics— their ephemeral character. In the coun- tries of Europe political questions have almost a hereditary significance. They never dic out; generation after generation take them up, and fight them out, at the bustings or the barricade, according to the genias of the people. The great struggle between the landowner and the laborer, and the sempiternal contest between thisgs old and things new have been absorb. ing to the Europcan voter for a hundred years, and still enjoy undiminished attractions No question that could arise would dwarf them ia tac eyes of the intelligent European. Questions of the moment might attrect attention; but they wou'd be goon shaped into the old mould, as | oppesition to the Russian war in Eagland took the semblance of undue partiality for the Court, and ¢ympathy for the Sepoys, in France, is be- coming anotber name fur ultramontane bigotry, There is no-posetble end or solution to the great problems of Ea: opean politics. They are by their nature radical, and ecem to be intended for the amusement and occupation of generations of men. With us, on the contrary, political issues are like fashions ; we change them, year in and year out, and, out or in, we don’t care much about | them. The greatest trouble with foreign politi- | cians is to be forced to choose between dodging or committihg themeelves on all kinds of impor- tant queetions ; the greatest trouble with ours is to tind questions for which the public will care enough to go out of their way on cloction day to deposit a ballot. For a fow years, vague ab- stractions about the constitution kept up an ap fearance of rival parties; then, afer one or two spasmodic and unsucccssful efforts to got up | factions, the tariff supplied us with work to keep our politiciane warm for three or four terms ; | and, after a bricf conflict on the general issue of ruin and bankruptcy, the dull and dis- tant question of the form of labor in the South came up, and has occupied the minds of our poli- ticians for more than ten years. It only shows how traly prosperous and happy « country this is when the only question on which our citizens can mapage to divide into parties with any de- | gtce or appearance of earnestness turns on the peculiar lawe which are to govern the application of Jabor to the agricultural products of a fow Southern States. Such questions, however, may seem to engross some attention for a time; but let any living and vital iseue arise and they will epecdily disappear. This is what we are now witnessing. The slave ry excitement which eo nearly elected a Presi- dent of the United States Inst fall has actually died out and disappeared, in presence of the ab- sorbing and overwhelming pressare of the money crisis, Men who thought of niggers last year arc thinking of dollars and bank notes this and will not give any attention to the political concerns of the country until they have made quite certain that they will not fail, and that their debtors will pay up. The vote at the elections this year is uousually small, The officcholdcrs and their friends, with a few idlers have generally voted the democratic ticket, of course; the traders and substantial citizens generaily aletaincd; and | thoee who did vote, voted for the side which ap- peared to promise most peace and quictness. For the confidence that is felt in the adminis- tration of James Bucharan has completed tho work which the financial trouble~ bogan—namely the disorganization and discredit of all opporition partics. ck Carne Post O: “ rt —Onur readers will remember the tempest in the teapot raised some months ago by the principal proprictors and stockjobbers of the Tine office over that famous Brick Charch pro- perty epeculation, dead men’s bones and all They bought it to scl! to the goverament for a Pest Office site, they proceeded to ecll it, and they thought they had sold it, at a enug profit of re Jon my 1H about two bundred thousand dollars, at least, | when the government judiciously backed out. In connection with this speculation, tae recent procecdioge in the Marine Court, as published in the Hrnaip yesterday, give us another insight into the impadent and foolish tricks of the modern school of lolbyjobbers, It thus appears that, in the matter of the sale of this Brici Church property to the United States, “ Mr. Benton came to the office and requested the pay «250 on the note, saying he could not | Reverses or THe Rice—Pauosoray ror THE Poor.—A great deal of commiseeration aud anxious foretbougbt is bestowed on the proepects of the poor during the impending winter. There can be no greater evidence cf the practical phi- lantbropy avd benevolence of our people. Whilst ail are cuffering, and but too many are compietely ruined, the fint thought ecems to be for these whose position during the severe season ie elwaye a subject of anxiety. Of the thousands alresdy thrown out of employment bat few will probably find work eguin before tte spring. If the ;reseure continues theie number will be ia- definitely incieased, aud it is difficult to con- ceive how this large masa of idle haods is to be provided for. In the uneasiness already mani- feeted in their behalf we ece an earnest that mea- surcs willbe taken to mitigate, as far as poxeible, the destitution to which the cessation of labor in 80 many of our factories and workshops must give rise. The beat efforts of all, we feel confident, will be devoted to this bumane object, and it isto be boped that our laboring classes will be able to tide over the winter without any extraordinary aggravation of the distress which prevails, more or less, from January to March, On the whole, we think it will be found that the poor will suffer lees keenly from our flean- cial embarresemente than almost any other class of the community. It will. subject them to no great reverses of position, and, mentally, their burthen will be lighter than that of persons ap- parently more favored by fortune. There are but few, indeed, amongst our commercial men who would not, for the present. gladly change places with the bumblest of the persons whom they have been in the habit of employing. The terrible ordeal through which the great majority | of them are passing is productive of infinitely | more acute mental suffering than the concern oc- | casioned to the artisan by the want of work. The latter is more or less accustomed to these forced periods of idleness, and he has stcclod him- | self against the anxicties caused by their re- currence. Besides, the noise of his privations does not pass beyond his own threshold, and as long as he can have recourse to the pawnbroker, | he and his family do not feel the actual pinch | of etarvation—he is comparatively safe. Neither his pride nor his position suffers from the change in his circumstances, and like Mr. Micawher, he rests contented with the probability of something | turning up. And if he be not an idle or a dissi- pated man, something generally does turn up; for there is a Providence for the poor as well as | for the rich, and the well disposed and industrious | have their streaks of luck even in the worst and | hardest of times. Very different indeed is the condition of those | who, occupying a high social position, owing to their reputed wealth, have been suddenly pre- cipitated from it by the crash which has en- gulpbhed so many noble fortuocs aud promising speculations. There are at the prceent moment hundreds of families thus situated, aod keen indeed must be the anguieh and humiliating the reflections which it must cause to most of them. The majority of these persons have probably been reared in the lap of luxary, have indulged in the display of foolish ostent- tion, and carried a high head over their less for- tunate neighbors. Pride, selfishness and hard heartedness to the poor have in the case of some } alienated public esteem and rendered them ol» jecta of hatred rather than of respect. What must be the misery of these people at being com- pelled to strip off their fine clothes, to lay acide their equipages, and to quit their splendid maa- | sions for some humble dwelling. Talk of the | distresees of the poor in comparison with euf- ferings like these! There is no pang that want | can cause that is half #0 agonizing as the pains | of mortified pride, of the sense of past prosperity | insolently enjoyed, of the knowledge of the satia- | faction thet one's downfall will give to others, | It is only those whose consciencce acquit them of | an unworthy usc of their wealth that can sustain with equanimity and fortitude reverses like these How few there arc amongst us who can find grounds in our past conduct for a philosophy | which alone enables the mind to survey with calmness the ruin by which it is surrounded. Let not the poor man, therefore, bewail his | fate if the hard times pros upon him with more | severity than be is accustomed to, The trial is but a temporary one; bo will rarmount it with- ~ | out having his pride wounded or his honor im- peached, Not so many of those to whom he has hithcrio looked up with respect, or, perhaps, with | the bitter feeling that fortune, not merit, had | raised them higher in the social scale than him- | self. Let him consider how humiliating and mortifying must be the reflections of thoee per- sons in the new position into which they are dragged, and then contrast them with his own. We will answer for it that the comparison will inspire him with courage to mect contentedly his own hurd lot.

The whole ticket is @ good one, and is made up of men of intelligence, ability and experience. Mr. Wocd bes been nominated for Mayor, and it is sufficient to eny that he has proved a very efficient ex: cutive officer, that he understands the wants of the city, and is thoroughly conversant with all the details of the municipal government. ‘The nominations of Mr. George C. Barnard for Recorécr, and of Mr. Peter B. Sweeney for Dis- trict Attorney, are among the best that have been made. On the ticket is the name of Mr. Richard Schell, who has been nomfnated fer State Sena- tor, asd who will keep things all etraight at Albany. Mr. Schell is an upright, indepen- dent and intelligent man, and will render good eervice to the State at the capital. Then we have also for the Senate Mr. John C. Mather, who cccupied & prominent position 8a a State officer, and whose large experience will give him mach influence and force in that body. Mr. Smith Ely, who was nominated in the Fifth Senatorial dis. trict, has earned for himeclf a reputation in the mercantile community, of which he has long been @ member, and is a man of fine taicnts and ability. In effecting eome of these rominations the democratic party, of course, had to go through one of its etrugglee; bat fortunately for the city, the good men prevailed, and the best portion of the party succeeded in making out their ticket. It was the expiring struggle of the shoulder- hitters, the etrikers and bruisers around towa. The result must be the triumph of the ticket, so that we may yet expect some good out of Al- bany. Tax Starner Commisstoner Case.—The Street Commiseioner case—Devlin vs. Conover, or Cono- ver vs. Devlin—is now before Jadge Peabody, and he has promised his decision thereon within afew days. As, however, the immediate ques- tion before him ie a mere side issue, his decision— which, we presume, will be in favor of the Go- vernor’s Commissioner—will be about es far from a settlement as any of the previous legal proceedings in the cage. It will be carried up to the Supreme Court, and, perhaps, to the Court of Appeals; but the ultimate decision, we doubt not, will establish the right of Mr. Devlin to the office. We think so, from the constitutional argu- ments in the case, heretotore fully reported in our columns—in which Mr. Busteed, Mr. Sickles, Mr. (’Conor snd Mr. Brady were the counsel ‘or the Corporation and the Mayor’s appointee, Mr. Devlin, against Mr. Noyes and Mr. Field, the counsel in behalf of the Governor's right to fill the office in queetion and of Mr. Conover’s right to hold it. It is true that in some remarks recently wpon this case, in connection with the late factious and personal squabbles of Tam- many Hall, an allegation was made through our editorial columns impugning the fidelity of Mr. Sickles to the cause of his client: but, from a more careful inquiry into the matter, we arv en- tirely satisfied that all of the counsel of Mr. Pev- lin and the Corporation, including Mr. Sickles, discharged their duty in the premises earnestly, ably, fully and faithfully. We shall await the ultimate issue with perfect confidence in the result; and from the cordial reunion of the democracy, the decline of black republicanism, and the great and rapidly grow- ing popularity of Mr. Buchanan’s administration, we are not without a hope thet with our next Legislature we shall have the power at Albany, and the will, to release this Corporation entirely from the shackles of the Seward oligarchy.
