In national as well as in a local view the complete success of tho democrats in our late State election is the most important political victory they have achieved since the election of Buchanan in 1856. The full returns of last Tuesday's election will doubtless show that it went by default in the rural districts, and that there is a deficiency in the aggregate popular vole exceeding one hundred and fifty thousand, and it may fall twohundred thousand short of the vote of last November. But whatever the causes, in the fact that the democrats, with the Governor to back them, have both houses of the Legislature for the first time in seven- tecn years, we have a substantial and most important political victory. Since the election of Pierce in 1852 down to this November the democrats have not gained full possession of our State government, and in this long inter- val the repressive acts of the other party havo accumulated into s heavy bill of damages, for which a full indemnity can and will, we dare say, be exacted, The independent boards and depart- ments, for instance, into which the local gov- ernment of this city has been divided by republican legislation, will, we expect, be done away with, and will all be placed in subordination to the Mayor and City Councils and subject to the supreme jurisdio- tion of Tammany Hall. We believe, too, that ia the reconstruction of our city government, as under a responsible municipal President and Cabinet, not only may Tammany increase her pre ent majorities, but that in the matter of retrenchment and reform she may gain a prestige which will give the democrats perma- nent possession of the State, Tammany has her eye upon the next Presi- dential contest, and she has her candidate in tue foresround, From and after the first of January the eyea of New York, and even of Delaware, will be upon the Wigwam and upon Governor Hoffman at Albany. We shall look for the Tammany programme in the Gover- nor’s annual message to the Legislature, and it will probably awaken the republicans to a keen perception of what they have lost. The Governor, however, will have to play his cards very skilfully in his message, in his appointments and in his action e the bills that will be laid before him order to come off to any advantage. We appre- hend that as the Tammany candidate for the Presidential succession he has been proclaimed too soon, and that to secure harmony from the Seymour men of the rural districta the sachems will have to withdraw the Governor a little into the background and bring into the foreground a new national platform for the democracy of the United States—a platform which will be up to the time and the new issues of this new epoch, and shaped to a fusion with the new democracy of the South. The democratic Presidential candidate for 1872, we think, will be a new man; but we do not think it will be Hoffman, The Prest- dential election of last year and the State elections of this year, and the new departure of the Southern democracy, and the near approach of the universal establishment of negro suffrage, and the settlement of Southern reconstruction, have settled the question #0 far es Seymour, Pendleton, Packer, Hen- dricks aud all that old set are concerned, They are shelved, and to make any impression against General Grant a the republican can- didate the democratic party will need some great gun of the heavy calibre, the long range and the national reputation and popularity of Goneral Thomas, There ia no encouraging response from any quarter to the name of Chase. THe, too, with the rest of the old stagers, has finished his career as a pilgrim for the White House, His | rocord js good, but it ie getting musty, To him will also apply tho injunction against putting new wine into old bottles. His political race isrun. New men ond new ideas are wanted for the outslde party at Washington, The New York democracy may justly claim the right to lead off in the reconstraction of the party on a new national programme; for New York is about all that is left in the North for the party toswearby. Tammany may right- fully claim and assume the position of the old Albany Regency, and Sweeny {s the man for chief engineer, from his skilful management of the operations of Tammany in this late contest. His first object now, we suppose, will be to cut out the work for the new Legislature, in conjunction with the other sachems, the Stato Central Committee and the Governor; but at the same time he should not forget that New York did not elect Seymour, and that upon the issues of 1864 and 1868 the election of 1872 will be the same old story. Tho old line demo- crats of Virginia in adopting negro suffrage have pointed out the right road for Tammany, and in General Thomas, of Virginia, the demo- cratic party of the North have the man who can restore them their old Southern balance of power, The Empress Eugenie in a Earopean Crie sls—Tho Semiramis of the West. The foremost woman of the world unques- tionably is the Empress Eugénle. The re- spected Queen of England, who rules an em- pire more extensive than any on the globe or that ever existed, and who is the only female monarch of the time governing a great nation, is not so prom inent a person in the eyes of the world as the wife of Napoleon the Third. ‘Her position as the French Empress, as the wife of the great man who rules France and controls in a measure the destinies of Europe, and as come to Franoe when the Emperor Napoleon dies—and, looking at the precarious state of bis health, this may occur soon—the social and political conquest of this modern Semiramis may establish and perpetuate the dynasty, She has fascinated the monarchs and statesmen of the world more than ever that great diplomatist, Maria Theresa of Austria, did. She has outlived the calumnies with which she was assailed at tho time she became Empress, and is to-day the most popular woman in the world. With the people and governments in her favor she may become the real ruler of France, should Napo- Jeon die before the Prince Imperial attains his majority, All the conservative elements both of France and Europe would favor that, and she may by her extraordinary tact and fascina- tions hold the flerce democracy in check, She may, like Semiramis, lay a solid foundation for her son to ascend the throne, and thon, having established the dynasty, become more famous than the Queen of Assyria, who in some respects was her prototype. The Secretary of the Treasury and a Four Per Cent Loan. There & a rumor from Washington that the Secretary of the Treasury contemplates pre- paring for a four per cent loan, with a view of reorganizing the national debt on that basis, and that he has sent an agont to Europe to negotiate for a part of this loan. This state- ment or rumor may be only a rehash of the suggestions we have made several times to Mr. Boutwell to prepare for reducing the interest on the debt and now put in the shape of authoritative news for the sake of sensa- tion, Or the Secretary may have the good sense to act upon these suggestions and be preparing * class bem out, Of course he the mother of the heir to the French throng, Toganot ba¥s sent ah sgent to Sinope with would, under any cfroumstances, give her great prominence; but she has acquired such fame and influeace through her own character and conduct that her power and the réle she performs ere tosome exteut independent of the Emperor, though supplemental to and in connection with his government, Whether we regard her present position or that she will occupy, probably, in the future, she may be called the Semiramis of the West and of mod- ern times. The parallel betweon the famous Queen of Assyria and the Empress Eugénie, though not perfect, is nearer, perhaps, than could be drawn between any other prominent historical women. Making allowance for the difference of the times in which Semiramis lived and the present age, there is @ similarity in the position and history of the Assyrian Queen and the Empress Eugénio, Tho history of Semiramis dates far back fn the womb of time, to two thousand years before Christ, or, as some say, to twelve hundred and fifty years before, and is involved in fables and some mystery, thongh there is no doubt about the existence of this Queen and the prominent facts recorded of her. As regards Eugénie, there is no difficulty in this respect, Wo know her history, We know that the Emperor Napoleon, who could have com- manded the hand of almost any Princess in Europe, chose the charming and beautiful Spanish Countess Montijo for his wife. As circumstances havo proved, Napoleon showed his taste and judgmont in this as in so many other things. Semiramis was not a foyal princess, nor was Eugénie. The Assyrian became the wife of ® general and frien? of Ninns, King of Aasy- ria, She showed so much tact and ability on acritical occasion in the war against Bactra that the King took notice of her, Admiring her beauty and courage he married her, and on account of this her former husband, Menones, destroyed himself. By King Ninus Semiramis had a gon named Ninyas. Sha made exten- sive Pees built numerous cities and erected magnificent works all over her king- dom. She built and adorned Babylon, carried on numerous wars and subdued Egypt anda great part of Ethiopla. Finally, sho gave up her sovereignty to hereon Ninyas, for whom It seems all her labors and conquests were made. ‘the modern Semiramis of France appears to have a similar object in view. Though she does not make conquests in war, she makes them nevertheless in @ peaceful way, and greater ones than the Assyrian Queen did. Have not all the monarchs of Europ, great and small, been at hor feet? Have not the Emperor Alexander of Rugsia, the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, the King of Italy, the Queen of Great Britain and numer- ous other potentates and the heirs of thrones been to Paris to pay thelr devotions to this remarkable woman? Did not the Sultan of Turkey, the Mohammedan Popo, go in great splendor to the beautiful capital of Europe to honor her? And have not the Pacha of Egypt, Abdel Kader and the princes and chiefs of nearly all parts of the world done the same? Do not even the unfortunate refugee monarchs, like Isabella of Spain, seok her sympathy and protection? Then, wher- ever she goes the most gorgeous pageants are prepared for her reception, and milllons of Money are spent to entertain her. Tho mighty rulera of the earth rival each other in extraordinary efforts to honor her, The mag- nificent entertainments of the Sultan of Tur- Key have been almost fabulous and seem more like the gorgeous creations of an Oriental imagination than reality, Nothing in his- tory approaches'the honors pald to Eugénie, Everywhere, except at Rome, it has been so, It seems strange that this devoted daughter of the Church should neither have been visited nor received by the Pope, though it is under- stood she expreased the desire some time ago to go to Roms. Evidently the Pope and cardinals were afraid of petticoats, though they are known to be ardent admirers of female beauty. Wo think the Pope made a great mistake, for this charming Empress is the truest representative of the Catholic reli- gion, as well as the orthodox representative of fashion and taste. Tho Mohammedan Pope at Constantinople has displayed more judgment and tact, and {9 altogether ahead of the Pope of Rome in comprehonding and adapting him- self to the spirit of the age, And, now, what does all this hobnobbing with the potentates and representatives of the Catholic, Protestant and Mohammedan world portend? What may result from all these entertainments and journeyings over the world and to the classio soll of Judea, Egypt and the Golden Hara? Ja, the gxjsia thet way authority to negotiate a loan, for Congress must give him the power. Still, such an agent might sound the cspitalists abroad so as to obtain useful information for the guidance of Congress and the Treasury Department. If such a loan be contemplated of course the best terms should be accepted, whether they be offered abroad or at home, and it 1s probable they would come from Europe, ag money {s less valuable there and the rate of interest much lower than here, But it would be the best policy to keep as much of the debt at home as possible, and thus prevent the continual drain of specie to pay interest to foreign holders of our securl- ties. In reorganizing or consolidating the debt this should be kept in view; though, as was said, the best offer should be accepted, lot it como from whatever quarter it may. The form of the debt can be mado so as to induce alarge class of our own citizens to take it in small quantities, and to hold itagsa permanent investment, or, to use a homely expression, asanestegg. The surprising suo- cess of the Emperor Napoleon in some of his loans, which were placed among the mass of the French people, might give Mr. Boutwell an idea how to proceed. It is gratifying to see this suggestion of reducing the interest on tho debt taking hold of the public. mind. Itis to be hoped Congress will, during the next session, act upon this important question, and thus give relief to the taxpayers of the country by a reduction of the enormous interest they now have to pay. The Paruguay Puzzle. What is the truth in regard to Paragnay— Lopez, Minister Washburn and the others whose names are tossed to and fro in bitter controversy? Is Paraguay fighting for her liberty against foreign domination, or are her people only forced into the trenches at the will of a tyrant? Is Lopez a monster of iniquity and Messrs, Washburn ond Bliss angels of light, or is it ‘‘the clean contrary way ?” Here are some of the troublesome problems that may rack the brain of the person who shall in the future be compelled to write the history of this South American war. In another column we give two communications from Mr. Porter C. Bliss, which present his side of the case in strong language, Mr. Bliss Is one of the gen- tlemen, we belleve, against whom Lopez made the same charge as that made against Mr. Wash- burn—that he was in a conspiracy against the government, Lopez, believing this of Mr. Bliss, made Paraguay a very uncomfortable country for him, and he came away with o great deal of accumulated indignation. He is now en- gaged in venting this, apparently, and the present instalment takes the form of a windy {ndictment of Minister McMahon. Mr. Bliss, as we have said, uses strong lan- guage, and such as should call forth responses from Admiral Davis, Mr. Washburn and Minister McMahon, For our own part, wo do not believe the statements of Mr. Bliss, and especially we do not accept hia view that the struggle must necessarily end adversely to Lopez. This is subject, however, that is not to be discussed in the distempered style that Mr. Bliss uses, It is sufficient for the public that the sympathies of our people are, as they ought to be, with Paraguay in this war; and we could not require that the leader of the struggling people should turn aside to study the little conventences of Mr, Bliss, Coxernss oN THE Corner.—The proposi- tion for Congress to investigate fully and thoroughly that great piece of roguery, the gold corner, is good one, and we hope it will not fail to receive duo attention at the proper time. The country has a deep interest in knowing the whole history of that event; and in a case where allegation is so bold as to aim even at the Executive the vindication of the purity of the government domands the inquiry. A Mystery Sriuz Unsonvep—The popu- larity of Greeley in this democratic city and his want of popularity in the republican rural districts, Some say that his bail for Joff Davis and other things in that line will explain it; others say that the old Seward-Weed-Mor- gan faction in the interior squelched him; but we suspect that Grocley’s failure among the farmers may be set down to his refusal to stump the State with Mayor Hall. Taz Demooratio BANNeR StaTe—Mary- land, She is absolutely democratic—every member in the Legislature and every State and county officer, Noxt year, however, with the Infusion of some thirty thousand negro voters into the voting body, under the fifteenth amendment, the tables will probably be turned, unless the democratic leaders take a timely bjat from Virginia. A Convention of Postmastera at Wash= fugton. Mr. Creswell, the Postmaster General, has summoned tho postmastera of several princl- pal cities to Washington in order to confer with him on the subject of postal improve- ments. Ho proposes to reduce the charge on registered letters from twelve to six conts— a desirable reform, which will extend the advantages of tho registry system to all classes in the community—and to substitute free deliveries in all citiea for the present system of private boxes—another reform which the Postmaster General thinks will save much time now daily lost in the distribution of letters, It is to be hoped that this convention of postmasters will improve the opportunity to discuss other reforms equally desirable which must at length be adopted as practicable and important, We need not repeat the argu- ments which are now familiar to all in favor of cheap postage, both by land and by sea. Experience has proved its inestimable bene- fits both in Great Britain and in the United States, and experience will soon have demon- strated the advantages of the Post Office telegraph system, which is now being thoroughly organized in Groat Britain, and which, sooner or later, must bo introduced throughout our vast republic. The constitution specially provides that Congress shall have power to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several States and with the Indian tribes, and also to estab- lish post offices and post roads. Hore is the basis for ample authority to establish and per- fect a general post office telegraph system that shall not only be an efficient {instrumentality for the development and extension of thg fia- terial prosperity of the nation, but 826 a, pow- 1 erful agent ip perpetuating its ynity. Already no railroad is of mach acodus: “hich ts con» fined within the limits of a single State. And when State lines shall have been virtually obliterated by a network of raflways and telo- graph lines and cheap postal communications, covering the fall extent of the country, the United States will enjoy a permanent right to be called by that title, The Union could not then be even temporarily dissolved by the aotion of South Carolina or Massachusetts, or Ohio or Utah, or any other single refractory State. The people of the United States would then necessarily ‘‘dwell together in unity.” Our Foreign Correspondenée—Europe, Asta and Africa. The European mails at this port yesterday Supplied our special pon and ink corres- pondence from Great Britain and the Con- tinent, Asla and Africa, embracing’ most interesting and varied reports in detall of our cable telegrams to the 2Gth of October. Erom London we have an _ account of the progress of the radical revolu- tionary democratic movement in England, and from Africa the exact text of Mr. Kirk’s leiter announcing the safoty and present wants of Dr. Livingstone, with notes of @ most sanguinary battle which had just been fought between two powerful native royalists on the west coast, The magnificent reception accorded by the Sultan of Turkey tothe Empress of France in Constantinople is desoribed, and the incipient congregation of the Catholic prelates for the Ecumenical Council in Rome reported. Lord Stanley j writes on the subject of his father’s faneral, and we are equally told how tho Viceroy of Egypt will recelve and what he wili do for his guests during the canal fetes at Suez. We devote a page of our space to a special description of the battles which have just taken place at Valencia and in tho neighbor- hood of that city in Spain, the animating and exciting language of which, with its accuracy of current statement, has not been equalled by any war correspondent since the appear- ance of some of the Hxrsrp field letters during Grant's campaign and those in which we chronicled the march and battles of General Napier from the coast of Abyssinia to Mag- dala. This forcign exhibit wil! not only be enter- taining but exceedingly useful to the readers of the Heratp., We havo no doubt that its appearance will prove vastly agreeable and use- ful also to the great Bobemlan organs, which wiil have it slashed ond backed and stewed and published to-morrow or next day, without reference to chronological order or date, and given to its readers in the form of an original hash, We beg to warn the public in due season against the feint, and, in the words of Superintendent Kennedy on counterfeit bank notes, ‘tA clumsy imitation, but calculated to deceive.” SPANIsH RECONNOISSANCE OF Porto R1oo.— Evidently the Spaniards are not satisfied with the condition of affairs in Porto Rico. The latost mail news from Havana laforms us that several flying columns of infantry have gone out to different parts of the island. For what purpose? may be asked. Has not Porto Rico been comparatively tranquil notwith- standing its close proximity to the revolu- tion in Cuba? Perhaps the quiotness apparent isonly a well affected scoming, and there is more reason to fear an outbreak among the Porto Ricans than is generally thought, Under any circumstances the plan of sending a body of soldiers to march through a peace- ful country is an unwise one, While it will not awe the discontonted it will tond largely to weaken the confidence of the people in the government that resorts to such moans of intimidation to compel submission and stifle independence, If discontent be widespread in Porto Rico itis not of recent growth, and the very silence in which {i has been enveloped renders !t of a more formidable character than the Spanish officials will readily admit, Guy Fawres’ Day.—Guy Fawkes makes no show in our cable despatchos of yesterday from England. Guy was @ representative man as @ conspirator, in his time, but his anniversary ¢n memoriam has passed away. Steam, electricity, petroleum, nitro-glyoerine and Wall street have thrown his attempted “blow up” with ‘‘villanous saltpetre’ com- pletely in the shade; for what could his poor weak agency have accomplished, evan had ho had his way, in comparison with the “blow ups” on the road, the river and in the ‘‘ring,” which we have to record almost daily? Mate- rial progress has ‘“‘wiped out” Guy—a fact which must have boen anticipated in the schoolboy rhyme, which pret.nded to narrate, his adventures sybseanent to the alot. when he “rosolved to hide in Mr, Brune!'s tunnel, weit rien baie meee ae Thames had neither tunnel nor Branel j” or, when heran down ‘ont street and “jumped intoa steam packet,” but ‘in the time of James there was no such place as Regent street and no steamer on the Thames.” So we move, and Guys are left behind, The New Democratic Legisinture—The Work Before I:. The present result of the democratic victory—securing to the party a controlling majority in both branches of the Legislatare— and tho question how will the Tammany Regency exercise tts new power, were the universal themes in all political coteries yes- terday. Wherever knots of two or three-were gathered together the coming policy of tho party was the one and only subject discussed. The out-and-out redhot democrats go for the total overthrow of all the petrepublican boards and commissions which for years past were cancers on the democratic body politic of the Empire City. Tho more sagacious ones shake their heads knowingly and hint at the proba- bility of the Regency: holding on to the said boards, with their immense patronage and power, as political engines, which, like artll- lery seized upon the battle field, can be turned against their opponents, aud thus serve to perpetuate the victory and make assurance doubly sure in the future, This view of the probable action of the Regency was not received with much favor, as it was calculated to leave an unpleasant impression, that after, all—with these hosed ad ‘Cominisstons spared-—t Would be but a change of masters— the old cry of “‘the king.{s dead,” “long live the king,” The transference of the patronage from republican to democratic hands was the only salve in this view of the case, and {¢ must be gaid it had a very soothing effect upon the minds of future candidates for office, Among the heads of boards and officers of commissions, however, there was but little Giscussion on these delicate subjects. The prospect of a speedy trial and condemnation and a brief shrift seomed as much as their dis- ordered minds could take in of the situation, and little of the regular business appertaining to their offices was attended to throughout the day. Tho numerous employés of these boards were all in an equally desponding mood with their superiors, and the temper and state of mind of all concerned partook of the gloomy character of the weather. Though thus cast down and crestfullen, it could not be said of them that they ‘took water.” On the con- trary, they mingled with the jubilant democrats in all the favorite haunts and drowned their griefs in the same bowls that the other side quaffed from in celebration of their victory. Tho Regency leaders did not put {fo an ap- pearance at any of the offices within the pur lieus of the City Hall Park during the day, from which {t was concluded that they were too elated to come down town, and preferred to hold their councils altogether apart from any chance of public intrusion. Peter Bis- marck Sweeny is master of the situation, and to his astute and politic mind the best way of applying the fruita of victory and making them redound more and more to the glory and profié of the party is as clear as was the policy and strategy he putin practice to carry the day, Whatever pollcy he decides on will certainly be that which the new Regency will adopt, whether in maintaining and porpetuating the supremacy of the party in the State or prepar- ing to carry its victorious standard into the great Presidential ial campaign of 1872. Woman's “Rrants,—The roformers among our Hebrew cilizens make the most substan- tial recoguition of the full equality of woman in tho human and social schemo, This recog- nition is the more remarkable as coming from a peoplo whose religion, having a strictly Ori- ental origin, had much of the Oriental senti- mont touching the relation of the sexes, Nothing has fixed more strongly in common prejudice the subjection of woman than the faot that the Bible regards that as her proper relation, Ohristianity came to reform the biblical people, and now they in turn take the lead of the reformers. AN Orp Sinyer.—-If there is anything for thieves better than the State Prison it is such a lesson as the one involved in the story of an old rogue givenin our reports yesterday. There itis seen what deflance of law and of the rights of property comes to at last. An old fellow, who has been a sort of hero in roguery, is brought in his age to a contemptible crime, and makes his appeal for clemency to the court. Stealing is a poor business, Of those who follow it a smaller average thrive than in any other. THE NEW YOUK JUVERILE GU:RDIAN SOCIETY.
