It has been the case in other elections. The very fact of the de- mocraey being defeated in Pennsylvania would of itself produce a great effect in this State. But the same causes which have influenced the elections in Pennsylvania will influence them in Now York, and influence them eleewhere, and there cua be no doubt whatever that the administration will have a majoriiy in the next Congress, In this city the democrats would have everything their own way if they were united; but, though the Tammany and Mozart committees have combined on tho samo candidates, many of the rank and file of both have revolted, and they are forming a third organi known as the Jeffersonians, By this div of strength republicans may be elected for offices, who otherwise would have no chance; and such is the unpopularity of both Tammany and Mozart that if the Jeffersonians would no- minate General Dix, simply as a Union ian, earnest for the prosecution of the war, they would probably not only carry the election og their local candidates, but the name’ or Dix would be caught up in Albany and throughout © whole Stat 1 cre: nd Wadsworth would be d om -A.

Hence to stop now to seriously discuss its constitutionality would be a waste of time and a diversion in favor of the enemy, whose great delight would be to see the energies of the people of the loyal States paralyzed by division. The lesson, therefore, which these elections teach is that the war must be prosecuted with vigor and the administration supported, and that all mere party questions and collateral issues must be kept in abeyance till the struggle for the Union is crowned with victory.

The Richmond journals com- plain bitterly of army stragglers, and well they may, when thirty thonrand such stragglers are reported beyond the lines of Lee’s encampinents, straggling about in search of subsistence, General McClellan's army, on the other hand, when supplied with subsistence, food and cloth- ing, including shoes, will present a mass of vigoro and enthusiastic men, liable to suder much more from the wasting inucti of a stationary camp than froin forced marches, exposure to the elements, short rations an fierce and bloody battles.

The two principal grounds of defence ate tem= porary insanity and want of proof as to the deli” berate killing. The arguments for and against the plea of insanity are about evenly balanced, and, as the prisoner has a right to the benefit of the doubt, we presume the jury will come to the conclusion that the unfortunate girl, owing to the wrongs she had endured, labored under temporary insanity at the time of the killing of Real, her alleged husband. But the want of proof of the deliberate und wilful shooting of the deceased seems to be the strong and deci- sive point in her favor. No witnoss saw her fire the shot, though there can be no doubt that she held the pistol when it exploded; but the de- ceased also probably held the pistol before and atthe moment it exploded; for he was seen to have hold of it immediately after, and the nature of the mortal wound he received renders it likely that he caused the pistol to explode by attempting to wrest it from her grasp. Whe- ther she intended to kill him or kill herself, as she had previously attempted, or to kill both, does not appear to be established by evidence. After she entered his store he went out with her to the lobby, and after a few moments the explosion was heard. His brother and others ran out, when they found him holding the pis- tol by the barre] and struggling to take it from her, the girl holding it by the handle and the guard. So firmly did she hold it that the guard was bent while the brother of deceased forced it from her hand. The wounded man died im- mediately after, and gave no explanation. The bullet had entered the upper part of his chest, close to the shoulder, and passed down- ward at an angle of about forty-five degrees, from which one of the medi- cal witnesses concluded that it would require the woman to be ten feet high to dis. charge the pistol in that direction, provided the deceased was standing up. But the struggle to wrest the pistol from the woman easily explains the accidental explosion and the down- ward line of the ball. This is, in fact, the explanation the accused herself gave in the Tombs to one of the doctors who visited her there, and it has all the appearance of truth. A case of the same kind occurred in Lexing- ton avonue, in this city, in the latter part of 1848 or beginning of 1849. A lady named Walker had been separated from her husband, and was ata boarding house. They had lived on bad terms, and it was alleged that he was about to get married again, after obtaining a divorce. He called one day to see Mrs. Walker, and they had been in the parlor only s fow minutes together alone when a pistol shot was heard, and the persons in the house, on running in, found Mrs. Walker mortally wounded in the breast. Walker stated that sho tried to take the pistol from him in fun, and+that it acci- dentally exploded. He was tried for murder’ The public feeling was as strong and universal against him as it is now in favor of Miss Stewart or Mrs, Real. Yet he was acquitted. The ex- cellent moral character of this woman is greatly in her favor. Ample testimony has been borne to her industry and modest demeanor. She al- leges that she was married to Real; that he took the marriage certificate from her and never returned it, but subsequently denied that she was his wife. In his letter to Miss Van Name ho not only denied it, but said she was crazy for making the assertion. Whether she was wedded to him by a real or mock marriage, or was not married to him at all, certain it is she was de- ceived by him, and suffered deep injury at his hands. We are not of those who would save a murderess from the penalty of her crime on the ground of her being a woman. But in this case there is so much doubt of the guilt of the accused that we do not seo how the jury can find her guilty on the evidence, ! marches them off to justice.
