This day's election in the city and State is now and will be the absorbing question with the mags of our readers for a day or two to come. As in Pennsylvania, Ohio and else- where this year—a year in the odd numbers, in which no national officers are involyed—we shall have a short vote in this city and State; andasona short vote the republicans almost without exception loge more or less compared with the relative strength of the two parties ona full vote, we expect that in this election the democrats will at least hold their ground. Weshall not, indeed, be surprised if, in addi- tion to their State ticket, they elect a majority of the Assembly, as in 1867, and a majority of the Senate, The main issues directly before the people are the new State constitution and the separate propositions on the judiciary, taxation and suffrage, upon which the question of its ratifi- cation is divided. General Grant’s adminia- tration is the makeweight in the canvass upon nly rely; but we have been two parties substantially in from the late States they stood last If there is any change itis in a gain to the republicans, from the active oo- operation of the national administration in the matter of the federal patronage; but this gain we suspect is neutralized by local dissensions, disaffected cliques and general apatby in the which the republicans ma‘ presume that, as no new made concerning it, national affairs State as in other November, issues the stand know on this we elections ranks, Ona the obnoxious Excise law, which has con- tributed so much to the enlargement of the democratic majorities of this Metropolitan dis- trict, it is doubtful whether, upon the whole, Sigel, whose motto is free lager, will strengthen Greeley (prohibitionist), or whether Greeley will weaken Sigel. The temperance people do not like Sigel, and the liquor interest, compact and strong, is dead-set against Greeley, The party, it is apprehended, in attempting to carry a barrel of water on one shoulder, with a keg of lager on the other, like the old woman between two stools, will come to the ground, The real contest, however, is not on the new State constitution, nor the State ticket, nor on Grant's administration, nor on the liquor ques- tion. All these are only secondary issues, we are told, if we take an observation from the central standpoint of Tammany Hall, Tam- many has the Governor, and she is aiming for the Legislature, Wherefore? Because the radicals say that with the Legislature she can and will repeal, not only the Excise law and the Registration law, but the laws establishing the Metropolitan Police Commission, the Cro- ton Board, the Health Board, the Fire Depart- ment, &¢., and bring them all under the gene- enate illegal, as he was at the time a Repre- | ‘aived an examination and gave $5,000 bail ror | ral control of the Mayor and the. Common Council. A radical morning contemporary saya that this issue “Indicates a struggle between order and anarchy, between all that is beneficial | in the management of our city affairs and the boundless fraud and raseality, the lawlessness and riot which would attend the unchecked sway of that with her success in this matter we shall soon be “at the mercy of the most corrupt and worthless city government in Christendom.” But this dreadful picture of the consequences of a democratic Logislature does not alarm us. With our incongruous and irresponsible and costly city government, such as it is, we are almost.ready to welcome anything for a change, comparatively good as some of our commissioners are, Suppose we give Tammany fall swing in the new Legislature, and that she proceeds to give us a reign of “boundless fraud and rascality,” and “‘law- lessness and riot,” will it not inevitably he fol- lowed by a decisive popular reaction in behalf of law and order—the very thing we want? In this viow we are inclined to believe that a democratic Legislature would be a good thing ; for it might result, with an eye to Hoffman and the next Presidency, in giving us a much better city government than we now have; and if it should give us anything worse, it will bring things toa focus and wake up thoroughly our taxpayers lo a common purpose, and the result will be a sweeping revolution against Tammany and against Hoffman, Consequently we have no fears looking to the possible elec- tion of a democratic Legislature, We hope to record the ratification, substantially, of the new State constitution, and as for the reat we do not believe that the result, in any event, will transter the Vive Points to the Fifth ave- nue or set the Hudson river on fire, Deorgzass or Tre Nationat Dest.—The debt statement for October shows a further reduction of over seven millions, making a total of over sixty-four millions since the Ist of Mareh, The actual outstanding debt of country at the present time is 649,654,744; but, as the amount in the sury is R188, the net indebted- ness is only $2,461,131,1 President Grant and Secretary Boutwell will therefore have a good account to render of their stewardship ou the assembling of Congress, 3,755, Tue Juprotary TioKeT.—Voters going to the polls to-day might be somewhat exercised as to the proper discharge of their duties in regard to the selection they should make in depositing their ballots for candidates for several of the judiciary vacancies, if personal feelings and political affiliations are to be counted out in making up their minds, The candidates of the Tammany party aré {o a great extent endorsed by the outside organiza- tions; but in the few cases where this is not a0 the doubters must be considered as in the dilemma of the little boy in the show, and recommended, in the words of that sapient and immortal showman, that having paid their money they may take their choice.

Tuk AvoNDALE [unp to the amount of $63,000 is now in the hands of a board of trus- tees, properly organized, with a secretary and disbursing officer, who together give .860,000 bonds, and receive respectively salaries of $200 and $400, It ia singular that the trus- tees of the fund have been applied to for asais- tance by a miners’ association, They very properly answer that no money of this fund can be devoted to any other purpose than the assistance of those connected with and dependent upon persons killed in the great disaster, Raw or Sutwe.—A rainy election day is good for the democrats; a fair day is good for the republicans.

Tur Vonne To Day.—The first rogistra- tion returns made for this election were not favorable to the prospect of a very large vote to-day, There was a change, however, for the better in this respect Friday and Saturday last, when registration was brisk, The ques- Cons submitted to the suffrages of the people are very important, apart from those merely affecting the status of party leaders, and voters will do well to bear this in mind—take 4 note of it—and vote accordingly, The vote on the amended constitution ought to bring out the whole voting strength of the city and county, It is not often we can vote and secure an amended constitution without pay- ing heavily for the chance, and, after all, with ten chances to the one that we lose our money and make matters worse. “Witrot Murvge’ is a rather queer verdict for a coroner's jury to ronder; yet it is reported that such a verdict was given against the con- ductor of a car in a case where o drunken man was pushed from the platform, run over and killed.

Rumors are again afloat regarding the health of the Emperor Napoleon, It is said that he has had a return of his former illness, The rumor, of course, has been contradicted ; and we are not unwilling to state that we have quite as much faith in the contradiction as we have in the report, It is undeniable, however, that in spite of the contradictions there is a very general conviction that the | Emperor's health is not sound, nor can it be said the conviction is ill-founded, The opinion | provails that, while the Emperor may live for many years, his death within a brief period would not be a surprise. This fresh rumor of his being ill revives a } question in which we are all more or less deeply interested—whether the peace of Europo and the world would not be seriously im- perilled by his death. It is undeniable that certain great national and social impulses are held in check mainly by him, The German races would bea unit to-morrow but for the opposition which is given to such union by the chief of the French nation, The smoulder- ing elements of revolution which are known to exist in Eastern Europe would burst forth but for the combination of which Napoleon is the Head Centre. Soon as Napoleon is gone the Hungarian empire will take the place of the Austrian empire, and the German races will consolidate under the imperial rule of the Tlohenzollerns. Russia will become more impe- rious, and, taking her little sister Greece by the hand, will reinstate her in something of her former greatness. There are, besides, social questions which command attention far beyond the limits of any nationality— questions which in their development comprise a European confraternity, alike indifferent to the distinctions of nations and to the distinctions of classes, These revolutions will not be accomplished with- out much commotion—not, we fear, with- out large sacrifices of blood and treasure. That these forees do not command more atten- tion now is due mainly to the fact that the strong repressive hand of the Emperor is upon them. That hand weakened, or removed by death, an explosion may be looked for. This it is whigh explains the recent conduct of the great Powers. It is well understood that Great Britain, Prussia, Russia and Aus- tria, on the occasion of the Emperor's last ill- ness, assured him of their sympathy, and, at the same time, of their determina- tion to support the claims of bis son. Tie Bonaparte dynasty, it is felt, is the best protector of thrones. The death of the Emperor would be a severe blow to the inter- ests of royal families. It would let loose the “fierce democratic.” The question is whether the son of Napoleon will have any restraining power, TamMAsy Men, the Governor expects every man to do his duty this day, looking to 1872, Heads up!

Now, if our Minister has made the communication that the Secrelary denounces, his want of tact and his impertinent reference to things of which he is supposed to have no knowledge may expose him to an unpleasant rebuff, and if the Minister has not made such communica- tion the Secretary appears as striking a ridicu- lously patriotic attitude against a rumor, There has been no recent breach of official decorum that at all compares with this want of good manvers, and Mr. Secretary should be sent home with a flea in his ear.

While the commercial and laboring classes urge the encouragement of European immigration the planters favor the importation of Chinese, and all agree that a fresh supply of labor is absolutely necessary for the agricultural interests of the country, At the same time the movement towards intro- ducing Chinese labor into the southern and southwestern portions of the United States is steadily advancing, Koopmanschap has returned to San Francisco, and he will forward this week one hundred Chinamen to work on the Memphis and El Paso Railroad. He says there are three thousand Chinamen out of employment in California, and, although more are returning to China at present on account of the approaching national holiday in the empire than are coming to San Francisco, he will doubtless find recruits enough for bis grand industrial army.

New York Central Railways. Yesterday the stockholders of the two great fines of railway in this State—the Tudson River and New York Contral—voled their consolidation, Virtually the union had taken place long ago, when Commodore Vanderbilt and his friends came into possession of a majority of their stocks, Both roads were operated in harmony and were practically one, Now, however, they are financially so. The terms of the consolidation, which were kept a profound secret up to the moment the vote was taken, were a great disappointment to Wall street, where a combined capital of. one hundred millions was confidently looked for, As itis the original stocks are simply merged into one total of forty-five millions, appended to which, however, is a scrip of forty-five millions more, bearing equal divi- dends with the consolidated capital. The prices of New York Central and Hudson River both underwent a large decline on the announcement of the terms, but at the decline paused and wavered, the street heing sorely puzzled as to their real value, owing to the conditions of the scrip. Doubtless the next Legislature will again be the field for special legislation affecting both stock and sevip. As it is, the two roads have loat their identity, but preserve their history in the title of the new eorporatioa—viz., the Now York Central and Hudson River Railway Company, Our Asiniic Correspondence. The letter from Bombay which we published yesterday contained—bésides a full report of the loss of the ship J. P. Whitney while on hor way from Calcutta ‘to Mauritius, and an account of the con- version of a crazy captain in the British army to Brabmiuism, and the adoption of the Moslem creed and costume by three English soldiers in Southern India, one of whom, how- ever, has returned to the Christian faith—an announcement of the arrival in India of an envoy to the British Court from the Kushhbegi of Eastern Turkistan or Chinese Tartary, The ostensible ground of the fuss whigh will pro- bably bo made over the envoy is the eager- ness of Indian merchants to extend thoir com- mercial operations into the Kushbogi’s terri- tories, But the real meaning of it, says our correspondent, is that the Kushbegi is now the one remaining barrier, on the eastern side of Northern India, to the further advance of the Russians. ‘The St, Petersburg -jour- nals have already complained of the bribes which have been paid to the Ameer Sheer Ali for the honor of his alliance; but what will they say now that the Kushbegi also is to be brought, by the persuasive action of courteous speeches, and probably a seoret offer of pecu- niary assistance, entirely under British influ- ence?” The British government is anxious to ally itself with these barbarous Powera, not $9 much from commercial as from political motives, While Great Britain and Russia are contending for dominion in Asia, these great Powers are none the less uniting with America in the grand work of introducing into the heart of that vast Continent the forces of modern civilization, Projected railway and telegraph lines must ultimately traverse Asia, as they now traverse Europe aud America. It is thus that the language of ancient prophecy is being fulfilled, “Many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased.” A Lexar in Tag Dark.—The election is always an uncertain plunge to the people. However thoroughly the candidates may be canvassed in the weeks and months before the election day, it is always the same--the mass of voters are completely ignorant of the character and abilities of the larger number of the men they vote for; atthe last instant the citizen who desires only to vote for the best man of two or three put before him must go it blind, This is the defect of our popular system. How to Batanog It.—The first year of the Spanish revolution does not make a very favor- able flnancial exhibit with an expenditure exceeding the revenue by sixty-five million dollars, As the revolution is thus sixty-five millions behind it should think a little more of the one hundred millions the United States offers for Cuba, Cuba will square the account and give a surplus, Demooratto Union Men, There are enemies in the camp. vigilance is the price of liberty.” understand ? look sharp. “Eternal Do you One of the tongues that utter the voice of the people complains that the gas companies do not do justice to the First, Second and Third wards.

Mr, Farrell, of St. Petors Church. ‘The feast of Atl Saints was celebrated religtously throughout the city yesterday. The transition from the festivities of All Hallow Eve to solemnities in honor of te white robed army of martyrs, confessors aud representative Dlesscaness generally is short, sharp and decisive—quatatly human in a word, The loving nuts which on “Hallow Eve’ tell so many “stories? and stir 80 many hearts, and whose erratic movements are watched with equat interest by grandames as by young blood; the indea- nite variety of card-cutting tricks, the innumerable legendary devices in which molten lead opens up the future, the loves begot and the attachments cemented, and, above all, the strange sympathy of the human heart with these pretty, petty social siill- nesses—ail these gave place yesterday to the pomp of religious pageant, to the imposing rites of ritual- istic and Mturgical ceremontal, and to eloquent iec- tures on the stern duties of morality, as the Italian carnival gives place to the fasts of Lent, Tn tho various churches the triumphs of tho saint were celebrated ta every variety, of prose, in liymnd and psaims and canticles, Music of every kind was Impressed into the service of heaven. The sol- emu grandeur of the Gregorian chant was litte more impressive and eifective than the sparkling operatic stra ins of the more. modera and more popular com. posers, Episcopalians vied with Homan Catholics inthe effort to honor the satnts and to add to their numbera, ‘Tho teast was celebrated in St. Peter's church, Barclay street, with much devotion both by pastors aud peo) le. Hassingler’s grand mass for fifty male voices—the delight of German students and th, primeet favorite in the shape of sacred music throughout “Vatherland”—was given with much taste and accuracy, but the want of the full comple- inent Of voices necessary to the vigorous and effec- tive rendering of (the Gloria and Credo detracted much Lor the perfection of the orchestral perform. ance. The sencaiclus, finely given by two tenor and two bass voices, displayed, however, the thrilling power and marvellous musical versatility of the composer. ‘The sermon was preached from the first step of the altar by the Rey, Mr. Farrell. He explained the object of a festival of ail tae saints. The places in the calendar were 80 limited that few of them could have @ distinct feast—at most only a few hundreds, But as thotr number was countless, representing every tribe and tongue and nation, they were ali honored ct jadsse on this day, The glory and happiness were irrepressibie. Even the Apostle Paul, atter having been wrapped to the third heaven, fouud himself to declare it, Eye hath not seen it; ear hatu mot heard it; it had not even entered into the heart of man to conceive. Everything splen- did and fascmating apon earth was a3 nothing com- pared with their secure and happy lot—not even as dust in the balance when weighed against the ace’ guitty of God's intlnite goodness and generosity to his faithful children. This thought had changed that great human genius Ignatius of Loyola from being the silliest of woridlings tuto ‘one of the most ardent and devoted followers of severe Christian virtue, ‘The saints were men and women like us. They had passions and weaknesses, They had to contend with the world, with all the vices and with tiemseives. They did not pelong. to any special class in life. Some ol them came from the workshop, Some from the counting house, others from the professions. Youth and age and sex—all had thei representative saints. To those who be- leved in an eternity of happiness the way to heaven was therelore clearly pointed out, We should walk in the footsteps of the saints, All were not called to the practice of the higher virtues, but all were directed to lay hold on au eternal crown by the serious discharge of the duties of their station iu Ife and the practice of virtue; worldlings might sne-r at these principles, but they all had their mis- givings and felt their wretchedness. They kuew and felt what was right—and they knew tho saints had acted wisciy and well—but habit and associa tion und the fascimations of worldliness and sin made thein follow a@nojher path than that which led to eternal life, SOCIAL SCIENCE SOCIETY. Marriage Denounced and the “Social Evil? Hinted at as Prefernble. Thia is the mame of a new organization which has just been formed, and the members of which propose holding a meeting every Monday even- ing, at Plimpton Halil. Workingmen are particu. Jarly invited to attend these meetings, aa tne labor question will come largely into the discussions of the association. Last evening the first or inau- gural meeting of the assoctation was held at Plimp- ton Hall, when Mr, Charles Moran delivered the opening address. \ In the absence of the president of the society, on motion of Mr, Ormsby Mr. Scott was placedin the chair, Acommittes of three was appointed to prepare and present at the third regular mecting the draft of a constitution and bylaws, Mr. CHARLES MORAN, the speaker of the evening, Was then introduced and proceeded to say that it was with much pleasure that he saw the inaugura- tion of this society. Tne advocates of social sclence had no easy task before them to make it understood. Many claimed that there was not such a science. The academies of the United States had no branch for aoctal science simply because thoy did not consider it @ science at all, Now, in all the sctences they bad but two processes—induction and deduction. ‘fhe so- cial sclentista took society and examined all the phenomena connected with tt and then attempted by deduction to find if there was a law governing these phenomena. If anything was irreconcilabie to the theory the theory was false and the law un- discovered. In social science they were every day progressing from the unknown. It was the sctence of sciences, ana the only practicat one for the wel! being of society. They were reform- ers. They took an interest in the natural laws which governed men in soctety, Our fatal contest with the South, had political science en taught ten years before it occurred, would never have come to pass, because they would have taught tho Southern people that the interests of both North and South were ac- tually Identical. Tney were surrounded at the pres- ent moment with proofs of the importance of their sclenc®, All the questions of the day were involved in it. On careful analysis he could find bat one universal uction to adopt—that every legitimate end @ man wanted to attain could be more easily and the more surely at- tained witiont the Intervention of the human law than with it. But the social scientist had to meet and combat tho great prejudice that existe in the public mind against him. ‘The rea. son why China, which had preceded Europe for centuries in science and civilization, had retrograded was because everything came in that country from the government, and there was no individuality or independence among tts people. Mankind depended one on the other, and no mau who sought success through selfishness woud ever attain tt Dr, NonEwouriy said there are four social science organizations in existence in this cliy already, and he hoped that. soine arrangement could be made ao that this society and those would not clash with each other, He said that all women and children should be supported by the government and that all love shoud be free, The speaker then went on in@ wild and rambiing manner about iree love, religion and an omninm gatherum of foreign sud. jects which had no connection whatever with science, and concinded bys saying that he was strongly opposed to marriage. He looked on it as altogether wrong and believed that Ci A aig Into the world should be supported by the people. After some remarks from another brother of the samo fanciful, vague and ridiculous character as the preceding, Mr. SPsRN, fn order to change the subject, moved hat the name of the society be changed to tnat of The Society for the Prevention of Political Economy.” ‘This suggestion was not adopted, and after some further discussion oa “social science” the meeting adjourned, THE FIRST WARD TRAGEDY.
