The battle is over and the victory won, Grant and Colfax have been chosen by the people of the United States our next Presi- dent and Vice President. From the returns before us the republican majorities in the States voting in October are increased, and all the Northern States east of the Rocky Moun- tains, except New York and Jersey, we think, may safely be set down for Grant, and, with an exception or two, by heavy figures. At the hour of closing up for the press the indications are that the contest has been a close one in this State, with the chances in favor ot Seymour and Hoffman, but they are better for Hoffman than Seymour. New Jersey, as far as reported, wears a democratic complexion. Beyond these generalities we have nothing more on the Presidential issue. But they settle the great question. The republicans hold the field and re- gain the Whife House. The democratic leaders flung their chances of success over- board when they made their feeble nomina- tions in July last, and more especially when they brought prominently forward as delegates and stump speakers men from the Southern States steeped to the lips in disloyatty to the government ond fresh from the fields where (ucusands of our Union soldiers laid down eir Hives to preserve the life of the nation. With the candidate the democracy selected to carry their standard nothing but defeat was expected, and we suppose that the most sanguine mem- ber of the party anticipated any other ter- mination to the contest than the election of General Grant. ‘Let us bave peace” is his motio. Welook now to see these words con- verted into acts—to see the olive branch sub- stituted for the sword in the Southern States, negro supremacy quietiy superseded and such measures adopted as will create harmony out of discord in that gonial end fruitful portion of our country comprised in the States now suffering from 2 mistaken and vindictive Policy, We look also, and hopefully to this, that after the 4th of March next there will be a check put upon the monstrons corruptions which prevail in all the departments of the government, that economy shall succeed extravagance in the disbursements of the public funds, that tho public debt shall be reduced as rapidly as pos- sible and that tho taxes which press upon the people shall be made more easy to bear. The people expect that General Grant will accomplish all this, and if he fails to do so he will not have completed the purpose for which he is elected. But we have great confidence in General Grant. ; The tumult of the conflict being over, the flags are furled and men fall back again into their ordinary vocations as calmly as though the country had not passed through any great crisis within the last twenty-four hours. This is alike the beauty and the peculiarity of our political system—a system which foreign nations, accustomed to see changes of gov- ernments and dynasties wrought through channels of blood, look upon with wonder and with envy. Yesterday men met atthe polls to express their preference for their favorite candidates. Their passions may have been hot, their aspirations hopeful, their opinions dissentient; but to-day they submit peaceably to the verdict of the majority, as they always do after a great contest, and that is the end of it. Despite all the anticipations of riot, and so forth, there never has been a more peaceable election, The stump is de- serted, never to know its Presidential orators for four years more. Party processions will be disbanded, torchlights will be ex- tinguished and bands of music must find their occupation in the ballroom for the rest of the winter. This is well, but the public will look to General Grant’s for a just and economical administration at home and a widely enlarged influence in the affairs of the We think, too, and the country will not be disappointed, whatever may be the fate of the extreme to be not even general family of nations. radical faction in Congress, Senntor Semner on Specic Payments, Senator Sumner is performing a new rile, He has jumped the financial hobby and de- claims with as much assurance on national finance and specie payments as he has been in the habit of doing about the negro. In a speech delivered at Cambridge, Mass., he asserts the “practicability of specie payments on the 5th of July next after th® inauguration of General Grant.” “Nay, more,” he says, “it is my con- viction, not only that we can have specie pay- ments at that time, but that we ought to have them then.” History tells us of an old king who planted his throne on the ocean beach and commanded the waves to come no farther nor to wet his royal feet. Mr. Sumner’s speech about jumping to specie payments next July isas stupid as the conduct of the king who foolishly supposed he could arrest the course of nature and stop the waves of the ocean. Specie payments will come when the laws of trade decide it shall be so, and not till then. The dictum of Mr. Sumner or any other finan-* cial theorist will have no effect. Tho Senator imagines that because he and his radical friends have subverted the laws of nature in attempting to make the negro the equal of the white man they can subvert the laws of trade which govern the currency. The / attempt | to elevate the negro tothe standard of the white man and to glve him superior politi- cal power in the Southern States has resulted only in evil, and leaves him where he must ever remain—under the control of the white man, But though their efforts have failed and brought nothing but mischief upon the country and upon the negroes themselves, these nar- row-minded and visionary politicians do not learn anything byexperience, It is the same with regard to financial questions, Mr. Sum- ner would plunge the country into universal bankruptey, check its industrial progress and place the whole business community at the mercy of a few foreign or native capitalists and gold jobbers for an impracticable theory. He does not see that with even our present volume of currency a drain of a few millions to the South or West, or a few. millions being locked up by speculators, causes the greatest strin- gency and check upon business, What would be the consequence if the currency were still more contracted to force specie payments, as Mr. Sumner would have it? The truth is it cannot be done. Mr. McCulloch tried it, but had to back down, The laws of trade began to operate and the voice of the country rose against the stupid attempt to restrict the cir- culating medium. We shall reach specie pay- menis when the country grows up to that through the natural course of things. All efforts to attain that in any other way would fail and produce great miscliief, A Now Star at tho Stadt Theatro—Mme. Von Barndorf, On the Gth of November Mme. Auguste von Biirndorf (the Baroness Von Schoultz) will make her first appearance at the Stadt theatre in “‘Frauenkampf” and ‘Die Schauspielerinn.” On the 9th instant she will appear in ‘‘Adri- enne Leconyrenr,” and on the 11th, the anni- versary of Schiller’s birthday, in ‘Marfa Stuart.” The distinction of Mme. Von Biirndorf as : an artist, her high social position and her fine personal qualities would entitle her to a hearty welcome in America even if she were not for- tiled, as she is, by the strongest recommen- dation’ fom leaders of society ip Berlin, Her portraits, which ate now exciting admiration in several shop windows on Broadway, sufl- ciently atiest her beauty. Shortly after her birth, near Berlin, her parents went to reside in the Prussian capital, where her passion and her talent for the stage were early developed by the powerful impression made upon her by witnessing for the first time, in her eleventh year, a representation of Gluck’s ‘*Armide.” After her father’s death, when she was about sixteen years old, her precocious inclinations towards a theatrical career revived, She be- came xequainted with the celebrated actress, Caroline von Hagen, who one day gave her the monologue in ‘Jeanne 4’Arc” to learn, and she kaew it perfectly on the following day. Introduced ito the director of the Royal theatre at Berlin and attracting the favorable notice of Mme, Crelinger, ove of the greatest dramatic talents in Germany, sie was thoroughly educated for her chosen profession at the expense of the Royal theatre. Afier # few months of rapid progress in her studies she made a very suc- cessful début as Philippine in ‘“‘Vor Hundert Jahren.” Engaged at the Royal theatre, she was speedily promoted. ‘The pretty blonde girl soon ripened into a handsome young lady and became ‘“‘the fashion” at Berlin. Her Berlin successes were reptated at the Royal theatre in Oldenburg and afterwards in St. Petersburg. In the Russian capital she di- buted in “Lucie im Tagebuch” and ‘the ‘‘Tes- tament des Onkels.” She had already won an enviable reputation in comedies and vaude- villes, when the triumphs of Rachel, who was playing ‘‘Adrienne Lecouvreur” in St. Petors- burg, inspired her with ambition to attempt that favorite vdle of the illustrious Frénch artist. The subsequent marriage of Mlle. Von Birndorf with the Baron Von Schoultz did not prevent her from remaining on the stage, such was her devotion to dramatic art. Her fare- well representations at St. Petersburg were a series of ovations to her acknowledged genius. Conspicuous among the costly gifts lavished upon her on these occasions was a golden armor which she wore as Jeanne d’Arc, a present from the Emperor of Russia. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Minister at St. Peters- burg, was one of her most enthusiastic ad- mirers. Her impersonation of Adrienne Lecouvreur established for her a European reputation. Offers of engagements wore urged upon her from all directions. She decided to accept a liberal engagement for ten years at the Royal theatre of Hanover. All her réles during this engagement now belong to the history of art and are duly commemorated in Ed. Devrient’s “History of the German Stage.” She was always “‘a sensation” at the Royal theatre of Hanover, whether she appeared as Donna Diana, Countess Antreval, Orsina, Adrienne Lecouvreur, Marie Stuart, Iphigenie, Phidre, Jeanne d’Arc, Lady Milford, or as any other of the numerous characters in which sho ex- hibited the highest dramatic gifts and accom- plishmenis, Last spring Mme. von Birndorf left her en- gagement at the Royal theatre of Hanover for « tempting engagement in New York. Here she may confidently expect the full ratification of the eulogies which the foremost European critics have conferred upon her as the incarna- tion of grace, seatimont and dashing energy. Those critics declare that she combines all that is light and sprightly in conversational tones with the deep pathos and rhetorical plastic form of the tragic style. They agree that in her peculiar lines of art she is unsurpassed by any other actress inGermany. The hospitality which America has accorded to Mme. Ristori, Mile. Janauschek, Mrs, Scott-Siddonas and other famous European artists may well be ex- tended to Mmo. von Birndorf. Mexico AND ANNR#xATION.—-Owr Mexican letters give a glimpse of the progress of thought in the neighboring republic, as showing that the idea of annexation to the United States has taken permanent hold of the public mind in certain districts, Naturally they are districts that are already in some degree Americanized by relations with Ameri- can energy in various forms and with Ameri- can capital; for theso are civilizing powers, and civilization wants peace, order and all the other resulta of vital government. Mexicans who sée the promise of these only in close relations with this country must hold up their heads with ‘a newer hope, now ‘that Johnson and Seward and the iaaumerable jobs of this administration draw towards their Inst day and are to give place to a goverament that, going into the Mexican subject wilh clean hands, can pursue boldly the conrse that will end the troubles of that country and enrich the commerce of this, The Revolution in Spain-Signs of Trouble. Our Spanish news up to the latest date shows that although the revolution has been got peaceably over so far the reconstruction- ists have hard work before them. The pro- clamation of Espartero as the favorite of the people of Barcelona is very significant. It shows that Spain has not yet come to know exactly what she wants. Itis simply impos- sible that any Spaniard can be King of Spain. It appears that Prim has declared that the Provisional government has not discussed the name of any individual for the monarchy, while Olozaga, it is said, has issued a call to the moderate and conservative union and pro- grassive parties to elect each four deputies to name a king by virtue of a plebiscite. This outburst of the Catalonians only proves that the Spanish people are at sea in regard to the future. The cry of the Barcelonians is a blind cry, which means want, but knows no object. It is the first indication that recon- struction is likely to prove hard work in Spain. We have had the name of one candidate given us. Wemay have many other names men- tioned by the people of the different districts. When the districts. begin to speak out the clergy will not be long silent. Difficulties, in fact, are only beginning. How Spain is ty setile down is the great European question of the day. We cannot predict; we can only wait, While we wish her well and pray for her success the problem isin her own hands. She e myst sol ] it, and sho alone, We learn also that @ haval expedition, with General Dulce at its head, is about to start for Cuba. It consists of four frigates and a number of transporta filled with troops. The ostensivie purpose of this expedition is’ to supply the place of the troops sent to Porto Rico. Wiat its real object is wo shall learn after a litile while. The Transmogrification of Tammony Hell. Excelsior! The new Tammany Wall has gone up—gone up bigher. The Philistines, through the snares of lovely woman, have cap- tured Samson again and carried him off, for his strength has again departed. Politically the christening and funeral orgies of the now Tammany were mixed up inthe nomination of Seymour and Blair, when Vallandigham and Wade Hampton wore the ¢ officinitag high priests in the temple. So we go. The old Tammany Hall was & democratic bear garden up stairs, with a democratic barroom down stairs. So it was: but it has passed into a newspaper estab- lishment, half copperhead, half radical, with a touch of the speculative conservative. This is a great change; but New York in ils building improvements is a city of great changes. Charches are converted into theatres, market houses, carriage houses, livery stables, billiard rooms and clothing shops; and the most pre- tentious homes of the old Knickerbocker aris- tocracy are revamped into ticket offices, club houses and oyster saloons. The transmogrifi- cation, therefore, of the new Tammany from a democratic conventicle to a Black Crook estab- lishment of the order of the London Alhambra is according to the fashion. Tammany drops her war whoop, her tomahawk and her fight- ing attitude, and puts on the airs of a gay young lady and the graces of the Grecian bend. The big Indian overhead weeps at the desecra- tion, but the big Indian, ina new coat of paint and with the pipe of peace in his mouth, will soon come round and take it kindly. Secondly, in a financial view, it has been found out that the new Tammany, for the ex- clasive business of democratic pow-wows, didn’t pay, wouldn't pay and couldn't pay; but that, redeemed and regenerated as the New York Alhambra, and devoted to the charms of female loveliness, gin sour and whiskey straight, it would be a “‘shent per shent” investment. And so it has gone over to the ‘Devil's Auc- tion,” and the fast young sporia and butterflies of Gotham have displaced the democratic old fogies and all their stupidities; and the rebel yell, which on the last ‘‘glorious Fourth” pro- claimed the return of the Southern democracy to the Wigwam, will be heard within its Walls no more. So tade away the glories of this world. Bnt the illuminati of the Manhattan Club would have it so. Finding that the in- auguration of their new Tammany under Sey- mour and Blair was a sell; they have resolved to sell the concern itself; and it fs sold” WASHINGTON. ASTINGTON , Nov. 3, 1868.
