The late elections—East, West and South— have established several important facts in reference to the next Presidency. Theytsettle the conflict for the next Congress for the republicans, with the balance of power in the President's veto; they show in their resalts that on The platform of General Grant’s administration the republican party still substantially holds its ground; that it has secured, through General Grant’s liberal policy towards the black race, the mass of the seven huddred and fifty thousand colored voters of the couniry—a powerful element; that the great political reaction expebted by over- confident democratic arithmeticians has not yet begun, and that the republicans, with Grant as their candidate, have still the inside track and a good headway for the Presidential succession On the other hand, it will be perceived from these elections that the demo- cracy everywhere are organized, active and hopeful; that, under the management of Tam- many Hall, they are too strong to be displaced in New York, city or State; that they are quick to avail themselves of disaffections and discords in the republican camp, and that they are vigorgnsly working for 1872. The most important point, however, gained by Tammany on Tuesday last lies in her de- cisive victory in this city under all the new safeguards applied for an honest election. She thus stands before the country relieved of the odium so widely charged against her of winning her victories by fraudulent votes and false retarns, She has also gained a great moral advantage over her accusers in co-operating with the United States authorities in the maintenance of law and order. In thus gracefully recognizing the sovereign authority of the United States she stands clear of any charges of a seditious character. At the same time the President has displeyed the soundest judgment in his quiet and conciliatory arrangements for the enforcement of the laws, and in the appoint- ment of that cool, experienced and clear- headed diplomat, Caleb Cushing, as the legal adviser of the belligerent Marshal Sharpe and his colleagues. Thus the triumph of Tam- many is glorified in the triumph of law, and she stands before the country now a great, positive and undisputed centre of political power—as the “‘head centre,” in short, of the democratic party of the Union. Governor Hoffman is her candidate for the Presidential succession, and his popularity throughout the Empire State rests upon the solid foundation of a good public record and approved abilities as a politician and as a statesman, ‘The republican candidate for 1872 is General Grant, and there is no danger in his case of any contesting republican aspirant, He stands to-day the accepted champion of his party against all comers, and he stands upon the acceptable platform of a careful, money-saving, retrenching, tax-reducing | and debt-paying administration. Against him, from the facts of the late elec- 1872 There us, the democracy in | political issues of the day may be brought 1 | about within a single year in these eventfal | e | times, Ng | dential canvass the Caban question, the St. Before the formal opening of the Presi- | Domingo question, the Mexican question, or : | the Alabama claims, involving the Canadian ° | annexation question, may be bronght upon the | carpet in such a shape as for a time to super- sede all other questions among the politicians. Ali these issues are in the hands of the Presi- dent, and upon a bold stroke for Cuba, St. Domingo, Mexico, or for the acqnisitioa of the great river and Gulf of St. Lawrence as an outlet for the rapidly accumulating products of the Northwest, General Grant may make a popular bit which will repeat, in bis great suc- fess, the second election of Jackson or the | second election of Lincoln. Meantime the Tammany democracy have a | great task before them in putting the party for 1872 upon some new platform on the living | issues of the day, after cutting it loose from the dead issues of the time of Buchanan. But first and foremost, the duty devolves upon | Tammany of giving this city some satisfac- tory and substantial equivalents for the tax levy—something more than the | shadows of city improvements, includ- | ing improved communications from end | to end of Manhattan Island, and with the If the taxes of the national government were on the * | geale of our Corporation assessments Secre- tary Boutwell would have the diebursement of | athousand millions a year. General Grant | has more, much more, to show for his money collected than the Tammany government.

Protect the | people agalnst the grasping schemes of rail- way and other leagues of powerful corporations, and you may hold the State for twenty years and avoid the intervention of Congress. Hav- | ing all become millionnaires, O most potent | Sacbems! now is your time to act largely and | liberally for the City and the State. | There is no necessity for any hucry in push- | ing the claims of Governor Hoffman for the | nomination of the next national Democratic | Convention. The past Presidential conven- tions of the party are fall of instructions upon | this subject. Never since the time of Jackson | has there been any certainty as to the candi- | date of these juggling conventions, and the | aspirants first in the field have always been | the frst to be kuocked in the head. No, we must except Buchaoan, in 1866. He waa tirst in the field that time, as he was many times | before, but that time he succeeded. But what a mess they made of it with him, and what a ; mess ho made of it, He was the Louis | the Sixteenth of the old Bourbons, lack- ing the gnillotine. So now, not forgetting the keep-in-the-dark dodge of Horatio Sey- mour, whereby he cut out Pendleton in 1868, » | we have our misgivings of this premature | trotting out of Governor Hoffman, It is a different case; but it reminds us that John Van Buren in 1865 trotted out Andy Johnson for the democracy, which was the ruin of Johnson, and the ruin of the democracy, too. Again, the Western democrats have not for- gotten Seymour, and they still have an eye on Pendleton. These old Presidential sores are hard to cure, and disappointed and badly treated aspirants are apt to seck their revenges, Look at Calhoun, Tyler, Martin Van Buren, Fillmore, Seward and Johnson. Let Tammany, then, for the present, be as modest as Hoffman in reference to his claims to the next Presidency, If Seymour had not spoiled the trick we should recommend a posi- tive withdrawal of the Governor from the field. As it is, let him be held by Tammany as sub- ject to eventualities, and not as an ultimatum ; and thus he may escape those rival cliques and factions in. the convention so fatal to any favorite under the two-thirds rule. Briefly, let Tammany do the best she ean, with the aid of the Governor, for the city and the State, and she will do the best she can to make Hoffman President, if not in 1872, in 1876. And thus, O, greatly exalted Sachems! since these late instructive elections, thus endeth our first lesson. The Military Situatlon—Activity on Lolre—Distreas in® Paris, The fighting which has been vaguely reported for several days from the neighborhood of Or- leans definitely shapes itself into three days’ heavy fighting between the forces of General Paladine, belonging to the Army of the Loire, and the Germans under General Von der Tann. The result was the hurried evacuation of Orleans by the Prussians and their with- drawal several miles to therear, The French, instead of the prompt pursuit which has char- acterized the movements of their enemy in all similar cases, rested on their arms when vic- tory was assured and will now await the arrival of ,the rest of the army at Tours. In the north the Prussians have been making such rapid movements towards (Lille that the inhabitants of that city are greatly excited, and General Bourbaki is urging forward the organization of the Army of the North, which he still commands, notwithstanding the false reports of his resignation. About Paris the situation remains without substantial change. One or two cerrespond- ents inside agree that the people are dissatis- fied; that the government is unpopular; that the generals are envious; that the troops are tired of war, and that food is scarce. A case of smallpox among the soldiers is reported by one of these correspondents, who himself claims to be physically enfeebled and sick from insufficiency of food. Trochu is said to be weak and stubborn and to have dis- gusted the troops by an instance of favoritism in placing Ducrot over Vinoy. The failure of the armistice is said to have been due to the stubborn sentimentality of Trochu, who claimed that it was equivalent to a capitulation, and the feeliag of disappointment at its failure was deep and heartfelt among the people. Those additional insiances of the gushing sentimen- tality and mock heroism of the leading authorities of the French government are enough to destroy all belief in the earnestness of the French people and all hopes of a French republic. While we would not say a word against a brave people strug- gling against such dreadful odds for the right torule themselves in their own conntry we cannot but entertain thé idea—in view of their the own family wrangles, their lack of that moral self-denial that would contribate more than all else to weld them together, their blindness to the elements of true heroism while so blatant about the false—that perhaps the virtual oceu- | pation of France by the Prussians for the winter is necessary to save her from becoming another Mexico in Europe. Tne ARMISTICE Fartures—JuLes Faven's Sravemens.—We publish this morving the | statement of: Jules Favre to the foreign ambas- sadors. Jules Favre attributes the failure of | the armistice to the extravagant demands of Count Bismarck. Count Bismarck will not consent to the victualling of Paris during the armistice; therefore the provisional govern- ment will not consent. In their opinion a twenty-five days’ armistice, no provisions meanwhile being allowed to enter the city, would be giving Prussia all the advantage. To a large extent this is true. But can France make better terms? The large army of Prassia is also experiencing difficully in procuring supplies. Prussia has the whip band, and who can blame her if she usea it? It is not impossible that Bismarck will be induced to modify his demands, say to the extent of allowing Paris food supplies at the rate of the last day or the last three days before the armistice. On this small question of food supply it is difficult to believe that Paris will be abandoned to all the horrors of a bombardment. Byt Prussia, not France, is in a position to dictate. Senator Cameron is hard at work irying to reorganize the Cabinet. He claims that Fish and Creswell onght to go out because their States have gone democratic, and a Cabinet Minister is of no force unless he has a strong party in his own State to back In the case of Fish, however, Cameron is wrong in his premises. Fish has two strong parties to back him. That was the trouble. One would have been enough, and two were too many, Garmatpr has fallen oui with the Franes- tirenrs as well as everybody else in France. His ved shirt excites the ire of all the repub- lican leaders as if they were so many mad bulls. Goop ror Mississtppt,—The Boston Journal states that C. A. Foster, of Mississippi, is in that city, commissioned by Governor Alcorn to visit the benevolent institutions of the older States, with the view of taking notes and obtaining the benefit of their experience as to the most practical and successful methods of managoment. This is a good movement for Mississippi, for benevolence should ever be the handmaid of prosperity; and whenever you see a great State or a good man moving in the ways of benevolence the world may be sure that prosperity smiles upon the endeavors of both.

Marshal Bazaine’s Own Statement of the Capitulation of Motz—His lsterview with Our Special Correspondent at Cassel. We publish elsewhere in this morning’s issue one of the most important statements that bave yet been made concerning the great, de- cisive events of the existing war in Europe. Itis the full report of an interview between our special correspondent at Cassel and Mar- shal Bazaine, commander of the late French Army of the Meuse? recently forced to capitu- late to a part of the combined armics of Ger- many at Metz, under the leadership of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia, Following immediately upon the conversa- tion of the Heranp's special correspondent with the ex-Emperor Napoleon III. at Wil- helmshdhe, it is an additional striking proof of the readiness, nay, the eagerness, of the historic men of our time to avail themselves of the vast audience which our untiring enter- prise secures to them in their endeavor to. set themselves right with the opinion of mankind. Moreover, the particulars of this conference will be read with great interest by all who have wondered why so distinguished a soldier as Bazaine should have surrendered an army of 173,000 well drilled French troops, along with one of the strongest fortified places in Europe, without having made one last desperate effort’ to extricate himself by a general engagement. The question has been vehemently discussed pro and con on both sides of the Atlantic and with varying conclu- sions, but the Herawp of this morning is at length enabled to give the true version of the case directly from the lips of the highest and beat informed authority. Our correspondent found the main hotel at Cassel occupied by Marshal Bazaine and many of the officers of his army who had surrendered with him, and he was affably received by the landlord, who proceeded to give him abundant details concerning them. He very graphic- ally deseribes the scene in the long dining hall, where groups of French prisoners of distinction were seated apart, as their pre- dilections and political opinions dictated. The deplorable dissensions now prevailing throughout France are, unhappily, seen to divide these unfortunate men, even in the presence of their captors, some of the officers charging treachery upon others and refusing to associate with them. Marshal Bazaine appears before us, the stern, precise, con- scientious yet courteous militaire, jealous of his honor yet disdainful of what he deems to be the unjust assaults of such men as Gam- betta, who, as he says with a sneer, “has never smelt gunpowder.” The description of his personal appearance is to the life, and his clear, decisive replies fo our correspondent’s inquiries are tho- roughly characteristic and leave no doubt as to his policy both before and after his sur- render. The salient and most important point of his entire statement is that he did not pro- claim the republic in Metz; but studiously concealed it from his troops, that he clings steadfastly to the authority of the Emperor and the imperial constitution, and acknow- ledges no other as yet in France ; that he at first proposed to capitulate to Prince Frederick Charles, on condition that he should be allowed to protect the reassembling of the Repre- sentative Body ani the re-establishment of authority in France; that during the siege at Metz he considered Paris to be under mob rule, and that, in fine, he very distinctly held the attitude charged against him by Gambetta and his colleagues in the provisional government at Tours. The Marshal’s own estimate of his losses from the 15th of August up to the day of his surrender—viz., October 26—is as fol- lows :—Twenty-four generals, 2,140 commis- sioned officers and 42,239 men-at-arms, with but 60,000 classed as effective fighting men at the close, surrounded by a hostile force of 200,000. He did not capitulate until all the cavalry horses had been butchered and eaten, his other stores completely exhausted and the suffering of his troops and of the townspeople alike had become exireme. The war picture that we have thus given is ene of the most impressive in the remarkable collection furnished to our columns by this most eventful and terrible conflict. It fixes before the gaze of the world, in bold relief, Me martial figure of the stern soldier of Metz, and transmits to posterity his owo account of his tremendous struggle and his overwhelming misfortune, | Creswett. having failed to make Maryland republican, even with the heavy negro vote, will probably be invited to go out of the Cab- inet. The jolly Robeson who, like Borie and Welles, steers clear of politics, and doesn’t profess to know anything but shivering his timbers and blarsting his toplights, the gay and gallant sailor boy of the Jersey coast has carried his almost hopelessly democratic little borough, and he will doubtless be re- tained. Tur Bourcrorsiz or Parts are tired of war and are anxious for peace. Except when la- boring under the most intense excitement, which is of very rare occurrence, the bour- geoisie are never warlike, and we are conse- quently not surprised at the intelligence of their present pacific desires, Fiantine vor tik Sports.—The Dubuque (fowa) Z'imes relates a story about three boys in Dubuque finding an old stocking with two hundred dellars in ‘“‘hard cash” in it. They divided it according to their ability to fight. The smallest boy, who first discovered the ptize, got one dollar; the next bigger got fifteen, and the big boy got the balance. This is a fair illustration of the manaer in which party spoils are divided. The “‘big boy”— “the Boss”—gets the biggest share, and leaves the little boys to whine as they please. Tne Vore between ‘Brennan for Sheriff and Loew for County Clerk is so nearly balanced as to require official returns to decide who has made the best run, As the count now stands there are only about five hundred votes differ- ence in favor of Brennan in the poll for Sheri of upwards of one huadred and sixteen thou- sand.

Judge Bedford, in his charge to the Grand Jury, in the Court of General Sessions yes- terday, announced tbat our criminal statistics demonstrate beyond all qupstion the pleasing fact that the bold and daring recklessness which but a short time ago characterized the conduct of the dangerous classes, and which, indeed, for a season threatened to rob the city of its fair name, has been palpably very much diminished. This announcement is especially encouraging at this season of the year, when the increased difficulties in the way of honestly procuring food, fuel and shelter usually tend to multiply the temptations to crime, And it is even more encouraging to be assured by Judge Bedford that this decrease of crime no doubt is in great measure owing to the vigilance, energy and prompt action of the authorities. The Judge expressed his full conviction that in the great battle of law and justice against crime and criminals the latter must always yield to the combined, honest, determined and fearless efforts of grand juries, judges, district attorneys and the entire Police Department. Judge Bedford also took occasion to eulogize the character and services of the late Superin- tendent Jourdan, adding that ‘‘while we have reason to mourn his loss, we may well con- gratulate ourselves upon the appointment of his successor.” ‘Troonu 18 satD to be popular in Paris, but the army and people have no confidence in his generaiship.

Frenon Dissesstons as ILLusrRatep IN Hore Lire.—The babbling to the Hrranp correspondent of the communicative host of the hotel in Cassel, where Marshals Bazaine, Leboeuf andCanrobert and some of the pria- cipal officers of the late army of Metz are domiciled, furnishes a queer commentary on the public dissensions which have rendered France so powerless at the present time. The Marshals and their respective adherents were 80 hostile to each other that the host had to consult their prejudices in grouping them at table. The same discord prevails in Paris and throughout the whole country. What wonder that Germany finds France such an easy con- quest !

So we find that they are com: mencing an endeavor to set themselves right, as far as possible, in the present and for pos- terity, through the columns of an independent journal which speaks daily to enfranchised millions. Marshal Bazaine avails himself of the occasion, In this respect he és the equal of his royal master, Napoleon, and comes nearer to the citizen frankness of Prinos Leopold. The American people ‘hear both sides, They are patient as they are intelli- t. Lyons AND MARSEILLES are reported tran- quil. This is good news. It is to be hoped, however, that their tranquillity is not the re- “sult of the provisional government giving up to the reds and letting them have all their own way.” Goop Enoven For Ong, But How Is Ia For Two?—The Tribune says ‘there are republicans enough in New York for one party, but hardly enough for two.” Beware, then, of being bamboozled by such unfledged and unscrupulous politicians as the Young Demo~ eracy, who sold out Woodford for Ledwith and won heavily thereby! Try it egain, and two to one you will be again badly sold. Bazaine’s Proseot FoR RESTORING THE Exprre.—Our correspondent, whose interview with Marshal Bazaine is reported by tele- grap), puta qnestion to the Marshal which drew out from him the plan that he had first conceived before accepting the German terms, for the capitulation of Metz, This was, in hisj own words, ‘‘to march out withthe army, and to pledge our honor not to ight again in this war, but that we should be permitted to con- vene and protect the French Chambers against the mob, or—as Bismarck called them—the street loafers.” He added that Bismarck seemed to favor the idea. Old Moltke, how- ever, refused to look at the matter in the same light, but preferred to have the surren- der of the army. And se Bazaine’s project for restoring the Empire came to naught. Gentert Poxrtica, Prrases.—A Chicago paper, referring to the ‘‘Another Lie Nailed” catth phrase at abont election times, calls it “Another fragrant fiction impaled upon the nefarious fork of fact.” This ought to suit the most fastidious.

And you were arrested by Captain McDonald, Ain’t singular to see how lively it proved at election yesterday with its braias out,” There is a good deal more wind than ballast in Wipily Phillips at almost any time, thatso?” ‘Yes, sir, it is,” and the prisoner heaves o sigh. ‘You cannot be very long from State Prison,” continues the man of re- tentive memory; “L bave not agen you in five
