The © Reyolution in the Cities—The ixeue im Our Charter Election. ; The result of the recent State elections is but the foreshadowing of a great civil revolu- tion throughout the country that is certain before long to break up all existing political organizations and to merge all other issues in the important one affecting the pocket of every man in the community—debt and taxation. The large changes in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts and other States, like the anni- Rilation of radicalism in New York, have been principally brought about by the votes of the leading commercial cities, such as Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Boston. The people of those great centres of business have been the firat to foresee the effect of the measures of the repub- lican Congress, and to understand that general bankruptcy and ruin must be the inevitable fruits of a system by which the national debt is to be steadily increased, and the burden of taxation rendered heavier and beavier cach succeeding year, while an important section of the Union is kept unproductive and its valua- bie commerce lost to the country. Gold has ranged from forty to farty-five, withoit any prospect of a permanent- decline; trade has been stagnant; the revenue has been falling off in every direction, and all this time the expenses of the government have been in- creased to support a costly military satrapy at the South aud a pampered bank oligarchy all over the country. It is againsi the policy to which this condition of affairs is attributable that the large cities have rendered their ver- dict, and it has been emphatic enough to revo- lutionize the States to which they belong. The Pennsylvania conservative majority is to be credited to the vete of Philadelphia. The | repifblican falling off in Massachusetts has its | basis in Boston, which is carried against the | radicals for the first time in many years. The | great change in Ohio can be traced mainly to the ballot boxes of Cincinnati and other cities of the State. In New York, while the metropo- lis and ita suburb, Brooklyn, roll up a ma- | jority of seventy-tive thousand against the republicans, they carry the rest of the State by some thirty thousand votes. Tt is evident from these facis that the civil revolution commenced in the recent elections is s financial one, and it begins in the cities | because it is there that the doings of Congress are first discussed and the effect of a banefal financial policy is earliest felt. It is the ver- dict of the men engaged in trade and com- | merce against the present ruinous debt and taxation, and in favor of retrenchment ineevery depariment of the government. The farmers, it is true, are beginning to see and understand the danger ahead, aud have helped to bring about the recent political change. In Ohio, especially, they took up the ery against moneyed monopolies and grasping bondholders, and came oul in their strength in condemnation of | the financial policy of their great leader, the godfather of the national banks, In New York, | Massachusetts and other States, they evinced | their dissatisfaction with the measures of Con- gress by absenting themselves trom the polls. But it was in the cities of the Northern, West- orn and Middle States, with their large com- mercial interests and their enormous stake in the financial prosperity of the nation, that the popular voice spoke in the most emphatic language against increased debt and taxation, whether caused by the attempt to force negro supremacy upon the’ South, or to add to the wealth of the government bondholders and the national hanks, | The same considerations that controlled the | votes of the cities in the State elections will | influence the result of the charter election in | New York, It io a Aight betwegn a moyozod question whether the people will suffer their debt to be enlarged and their taxes to be heavily increased, for the purpose of pouring gold into the coffers of the banks and other holders of United States bonds, while the workingmen are compelled to accept their hard-earned wages in paper money. Nearly all that remains of the old demo- cratic party proper exists in the city of New York, and its leaders within the Tammany organization are among the fortunate men who are interested in national banks and holders of gold-bearing bonds, Their old intrigues aud associations with the republicans enabled them to lay their hands upon the government securi- ties, during the war, at forly cents on the dollar, and they now unite with republicans io the desire to secure the payment of the face of their bonds in gold at forty or forty-five per cent premium, as well as to draw their interest for years in coin. In the last Democratic State Convention, which has been aptly styled a * bondholders’ caucus,” the Tammany leaders prevented any open expression of opinion against paying gold to the banker and bond- holder and paper to the workingman. They could not deter the people of the State trom voting against the radical Chase party on that issue, but they now put forward John T. Hoffman as their representative man, under whose administration as Mayor the taxation of the city has risen to twenty-four million dollars, and who is the champion of the moneyed oli- garcby. They claim for him the support of all the national banks and bondholders who desire to draw gold out of the goverament, and to fasten additional burdens upon the people in order to pay the premium of forty or fifty per cent. They call upon the Shylocks whose policy is overreaching themselves to support the Tammany ticket as the ticket they can rely upon for their “pound of flesh,” even though it may cut into the vitals of the nation. It remains to be seen whether they will suc- ceed. The great revolution which has so re- cently swept over the States was the first rebel- lion of the masses against a policy that pours wealth into the pockets of the rich and heaps burdens upon the poor; that gives the bond- holder his principal and interest in coin and compels the working man to accept paper money for his labor. It will be strange if the city of New York, with its eighty thousand voters among the laboring classes, should suffer such # revolution to go backwards. | Rights of Railroads of Other States in the City of New York. The Pennsylvania Central and New York and Erie Railroads recently applied for a man- damus from the Supreme Court to compel the Commissioners of Emigration to admit their agents to sell emigrant tickets in Castle Garden, they having been excluded therefrom by the Commissioners. Judge Barnard yes- terday decided against the application of the former of these'roads, on the ground that as a corporation formed under the laws of another State it is prohibited by a law of this State from selling any tickets in New York. The law in question, although in existence on the statute book, has been regarded asa “dead letter” law. If enforced, it prevents any railroads not incorporated under the laws of New York from opening any offices or sell- ing any tickets in this State undera heavy penalty for each offence. It shuts up the offices of the Allentown line, the New Jersey roads, the Pennsylvania Central, the Great Western, and,in fact, of every railroad char- tered in any other State of the Union, and givesa monopoly of ticket selling to the New York State lines. The Allentown line, now doing business in Castle Garden by a special favor, must, of course, be ejected therefrom, as every ticket sold there over that line is a violation of the law whose enforcement the Commissioncrs themselves have invoked, and subjects the seller to a penalty. The lawis especially hard upon the emigrant, who is almost compelled to buy his ticket in Castle Garden, and is thus confined to lines of travel which may take him many miles out of his way, as well as largely increase the expense of his journey. - The law is an absurd one, injurious to the interests of the city, harmful to the emigrant, and profitable only to the New York railroad corporations. It will no doubt be promptly repealed by the State Legislature. [ts en- forcement will probably occasion one of the greatest railroad wars ever known in this oity, as the Pennsylvania Central is a powerful cor- poration, and will no doubt cut down its emi- grant fares to a merely nominal rate. This will compel a similar reduction on the part of the New York and other contesting trunk lines, as the Commissioners of Emigration, un- | less entirely heedless of the interesta of the emigrants, will be compelled to suffer them to travel by the cheapest routes to their destina- tions, In the meantime these railroad squab- pies, and the singular mixing up of the Com- missioners of Emigration with them, will no doubt attract the attention of Congress and induce the general government to take the business of protecting the emigrants wholly into its own hands. ha Meeting of the Society Army of the Tennessee. There will be a very brilliant assemblage at St. Louis during to-morrow and the next day, of men whom the nation delights to honor, the list including such names as those of Grant and Sherman. As our readers have probably noted, some of the famous armies of the war keep up in civil life « sort of social organiza- tion through the officers, and meet from time to time to eat good dinners and hear speeches of various qualities. It is the Army of the Tennessee that keeps up this agreeable for- mality in the present instance. General Raw- lina occupies a distinguished position in this organization, and is down for the first class oration; and General Rawlins bears peculiar relations to General Grant, being, as it would seem from some recent events, not only Grant’s chief of staff, but on authorized exponent of the hero’s opinions. Rawlins’ speech, there- fore, if it touches politices—as it can hardly help doing—will be more or less held as giving the views of Ulysses the Silent, and may furnish some rare nuggets for the radi- cals, who are bunting so earnestly for Grant's ideas on public policy, Sherman can scarcely remain speechless at this banquet, and by what he may say the opposition will determine whether or not he will do for their candidate, in case the republicans are guilty of the supreme Annual of the folly of putting up an oxirgme redigal suds civiling. ‘i CE body of Maximilian on the sh inst ‘The Congress was | oligarchy and the laboring classes. It is a | Gemoral Grant Ameng the Politicinne~A Little Friendly Advice. General Grant stands in the way of several nice little schemes for the Presidential succes- sion in both the republican and democratic camps. He stands in the way of the radical Chase faction, and they are sorely distressed ebout it. They say he is no statesman, and not much of a general, though he did bottle up Ben Butler, and they are shocked at the bare idea of such @ man as Grant becoming the republican candid&te, especially as they have no assurance that he is perfectly sound on the radical creed. He is too retloent by half. If he would only declare his opinions on the great issues of the day he could settle all these doubts at once. Why don’t he speak out? Shall the republican party bow down before him cap in hand and take him ata venture? Are principles to go for nothing? Such passing remarks as these feebly indicate the sore distress of the Chase radioals in regard to General Grant. The democratic -pipelayers and pumpers, Pendleton men and Seymour men, are equally perplexed with the same obstacle. There is Grant. "What are we to do with him? If we could only get him fully committed to the radicals or against the radicals we might manage him, they say. Why don’t he speak out? And so radical and copperhead managers seem equally de- termined, with all his smoking, to smoke him out. Forney comes out with a flaming radical manifesto, declaring that General Grant is sound as @ roach, and safe ; that his fast friend Elihu Washburne says so ; (huzzah !) and that this settles the question. Straightway Montgomery Blair hurries over to see General Grant—sees him, talks to him, tries to pump him—and comes away with the report that what Forney says is all stuff. Forney retorts, in high dudgeon, that Blair’s report is all gas, green cheese and moonshine ; and so it goes. “Old Ben Wade” says that when he attempted to sound General Grant on politics he talked horse, and nothing but horse; that he lita fresh cigar and kept on talking horse ; and so it seems that none of these politicians are sharp enough to catch him or to smoke him out, All right, General, all right. Stick to it. You have them on the hip; hold them there. The same rule of keeping your own counsels till ready for the aa will apply as well to political ai to iaititary wis na Remember that in 1844 the anti-Van Buren democrats smoked out Van Buren in a letter on the Texas question, which killed him off in the nominating Baltimore party convention ; that Henry Clay, in 1844, in consequence of & little Alabama letter on Texas during the campaign, lost the vote of New York, and so ost the White House; that Old Zack Taylor, in peremptorily and persistently refusing to make speeches, hold conversations or write letters on the issues of the oampaiga in 1848, was triumphantly elected; that thirteen democratic candidates, who were smoked out in 1862 by ao certain Major Donaldson, on the leading questions of that day, in advance, were all shelved at Balti- more, and that poor Pierce, who was not caught by Donaldson, got the prize. He was like the fox in the lion’s den. He had too bad a cold to smell anything, and so he came off the winner. Old Buck pretty much the same. Let General Grant remember these things, and remember, also, that General Scott, in 1852, in answering all questions from all quarters, about everybody and everything, in writing letters and making speeches, made the most awful botch of it, and was defeated worse than Pemberton at Vicksburg, or Bragg at Chatta- nooga, or Lee at Petersburg and on the run to Appomattox Court House. As for the Blair family, General—the old Blair and all the young Blairs—give them a wido margin. Fremont can tell you all about the Blairs. They are Paul Prys, they are Mar- plots, they are troublesome customers, In fact, they are like the daughters of the horse- leech: their cry is “Give, give;” they are ca- daverous, regular bloodsuckers, and they never haveenough. Thurlow Weed is a queer fish of the same species, that get tull of oil by suction—fist fellows, brown on the back, white bellies, and always stir ring up the mud. “Honest Old Abe” tried the Blairs—one of them in his Cabinet and the rest among the cooks in the kitchen; but with all the gentleness and patience of Liacoln, he at last had to say to the Cabinet Blair, “Your time has come;” and thus relieved of the tribe, great was the joy of “Old Abe.” As for Forney, he is a regular horsefly, though pronounced by Andy Johnson a “dead duck,” and when be comes buzzing about your flank switch him off, General, switch him off. This is the way to fix them. When any of these radical or copperhead pumpers come to pump you, General, talk-borse to them, as you talked, him to “Old Ben Wade.” Tell them of your black charger at Shiloh and how he would compare with General Taylor's “Old Whitey.” Tell them how Sheridan’s horses went into the work at the Five Forks, and what fine trotters they have on the Eighth avenue, New York, and in the Jerome Park, and what splendid drives they bave for 9 fast team on the plains of Long ich; what fine driving you saw there among the ladies, “equal to two-forty on @ plank road.” Tell them that the Jersey horses, well in hand, “though rum uns to look at, ard good uns to go.” Tell them all the fine points of the famous stallion of John Minor Botts, and how it is that Mr. Johnson don’t like niggers, dogs or horses, but doats ona good milch cow. Talk to them on horses a5 8 good disciple of the stout old King Gambrinus will talk on lager beer, and these inquisitive politicians will get out. The country is satisfied, General, with your acts and your record, and so you may talk horse to these scurvy politicians till the day after the Presidential election. The Nicolson Pavemont=The Fifth Avenue, Now that our citizens have tried the Nicol- son pavement and know its great superiority over all others in point of comfyrt and cleanli- ness, there is » general desire that the leading thoroughfare in the city for pleasure travel, the Fifth avenue, may be paved with it from one extremity to the other. The not over re- fined locality of Mercer street, since it has been thus paved, has been a resort for car- riages and fashionable turnouts of all descrip- tions, whose owners probably never before wore aware of the existence of sach a street, unless they chance to be readers of sensational police reports, The comfort of driving over the “ Nigolgon” levels ll avighborhoods, sud issue a flat contradiction to the accepted rule is spoken of in every uptown household upon which fortune has been beneficent enough to bestow horses and carriages, as well as among the more humble proprietors of carts, trucks, wagons and hacks. Uppertendom and lower- tendom unite in their praises of the smooth wooden road. Let us by all means have it Inid at once the entire length of the Filth ave- nue, a3 @ boon to all classes and conditions of citizens who go upon wheels of any descrip- tion, from the most luxurious carriage ‘o the most unpretentious cart, The Fesinn Invasieu-New York tured and Dublin Saved. The Fenian revolutionary movement organ- ized in this city against the Crown and govern- ment of Great Britain in Ireland, affords in its Cap. of history, which sets forth that “revolutions never go backward;” for the plan of invasion of Ireland has not only been postponed, but Dublin Castle, Chester Castle, Walmer Castle, with the cities of London, Manchester and Liverpool, have been saved, while the invading Fenian hosts have rolled back over the Atlantic, and, by a grand and sweeping reflux of the ‘political tide, captured the city of New York—that is, all the fat city offices, which, of course, represent the city—at the elections on Tuesday, the 5th of November. This result appears, at first sight, contradic- tory. The Fenian movement being one of purely Irish direction we were prepared to hear of contradictions during its progress ; 60 we were not much astonished at this “ con- thrary,” which must be exceedingly pleasing and profitable to its originators. During the past two years New York Fenians, armed to the teeth, exiled themselves by the shipload to Europe. British royalty met them, however, at every step, in its most unpleasant forms. There were royal proclamations, royal artil- lery, royal Irish constabulary, Crown inform- ers, hostile judges, unpatriotic Irish juries, and transportation to New Zealand. So, having reconsidered the situation, the funny Fenians ordered s countermarch to the steamships, and, according to Scriptural usage, taking with them others like unto themselves, the grand army reached Castle Garden in due season, cleared its gates after the usual troublesome probation, and on election day carcied by a shower of ballots the offices of Sheriff, County Clerk, Supervisor and others; and if we had had to glect 9 Mayor, and the Mayor had a salary of twenty thousng dollars a yea, the Fenians would have taken that office also. This Fenian coup is one of the most extra- ordinary on record, and, like Napoleon’s— which it almost eclipses in promptness of exe- cution—will have very extraordinary conse- quences. The Greek liquid fire, which was 30 alarming to the cotton merchants of Liverpool, is likely to be exchanged for an unlimited supply of Jersey “apple jack,” served out under the name of French brandy, from the Battery to the High Bridge; there will be no more hangings, and good Mr. Isaacs—the only Israelite, we believe, in office in the city—wiil find his occupation gone; no person will-be sent to the Penitentiary, for the new city Sheriff dislikes the institution and declares it unfit for the habitation of gentlemen. So we may expect that. during the coming year the Fenians will fly from Ireland and Canada en ‘masse and come to serve in all the remaining municipal offices of New York—the great Fenian Golconda. The thirty-five Fenians who have heen deported to New Zealand may meet with sym- pathy from their down-irodden brethren, the Maories, and perhaps some of their children may accompany that New Zealander to Lon- don Bridge. But this is a poor reward in com- parison with that given to the “men in the gap” in New York. The Bloomers on the Stump. We learu from our Kansas correspondence that the women’s rights women and progressive bloomers, “Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and several other prominent ladies of Kansas, have projected an extensive campaign in the Northern and East- ern States” to advocate women’s suffrage. By way of commencement, they have made arrangements to speak at certain stated times at Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, Albany, Spring- field, Worcester, Philadelphia and New York. It ig said they are encouraged to this labor by the flattering vote which was recently given in Kansas in favor of woman suffrage. This seems to us s very illogical conclusion, seeing that the people of Kansas, after all the efforts and sanguine anticipations upon this question, have refused by a large majority to give the suffrage to women. But these resfless, agitating women’s rights women and their male allies are irrepressible, and can make an argument out of nothing to justify their desire for agitation and notoriety. The everlasting George Francis Train, who should be presented by “the ladies” with a fall suit of woman’s attire, crinoline, petticoats, waterfall and all, made extraordi- Bary efforts for and prophesied the success of woman’s suffrage in Kansas. Bui he missed it this time. He has, as he frankly confesses, wo- Dounded faith in humbug and in the disposi- tion of people to be humbugged ; but he failed to humbug the people of Kansas on this quee- tion. We are inclined to believe, atter all, that this pretended champion of woman’s rights is only using this topic for the purpose of giving o slap at the nigger worshippers, who give the suffrage to African semi-barbari- ans and refuse it to intelligent white women. It gives him an opportunity io make a very |? damaging assault upon the radicals. He is doing good service in this way, and we hope he will put on the petticoats and come North with Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone and Mrs. Cady Stanton, on théir stumping tour. Let them come to New York. They would eclipse all the places of amusement. No comedy could possibly be as successful as theirs. 7 Radical Congrosamen in Washington Vre- paring for Work.
