now apparent tliat the friends of ex-Governor Bullock are making vigorous, though at present rather quict efforts, to oust the old Sevator and give the position to the ambitious gontle- man from Worcester.” If the republicans of Maseachuselts conclude to throw overboard Senator Wilsen they will ignore the founder of thelr party, the man whe gave the party its baptismal name and who is at this day one of the shrewdest and most adroit political mans- gera in the republivaa pariy, ‘ American and Tnglist Horse Raclag. A marked difference exists between the systems of racing in America and tn England. Oa this sido of the Atlantic racmg is en- couraged ostensibly for the improvement of the breed of horses, combined with amuse- ment; over lhe water it is almost exclusively for gambling purposes. Racing meetings in America have always been aristecratic pas- times—“‘only this and nothing more.” There are, to be sure, a few men in the land who own and run horses for mere gain, but they are so few that they would not be missed from the turf were they to retire ina body. It is by soch gentlemen as M. H. Sanford, A. Bel- moat, Ff, Morris, John Hunter, W. R. Travers, IL. W. Jerome, Dennison & Crawford, Mr. Withers, R. W. Cameron, L, G. Morris, of tho American Jockey Club, of this city; Messrs, Alexander, H. P. MoGrath, A. Keone Richards, General Buford, and others of their class in Kentucky; J. J. O'Fallon, of Missouri; T. W. Doswell,, of Vir- Ginia; Messrs. Coffee, Littell and McDaniel, of New Jersey; Governor Bowie and Mr. Hall, of Maryland, and numerous wealthy gen- tlemen in the West and Southwest, that horse racing has been fostered and encouraged for amusement alone, as these gentlemen seldom bet on their horses, and racing must succeed under their guidance as long as the pernicious English system of gambling can be kept out of our jockey clubs. Attempts have been made by some Ameri- an gentlemen, who have visited Eugland aad who did not understand the evils of the Eng- lish systom, to introduce bookmaking on fixed events, handicapping, making all betting play or pay and other schemes which give epportunities for sharps to fleece the flats, Somo of these objectionable features, we are sorry to say, have been adopted here—such, for instance, as handicapping and making all bets on fixed events play or pay. Very little mischief, however, bas yet occurred from tiese innovations on the old style of betting, and Probably few will ever occur, as American gentlemen generally are not inclined to bet on & race until they know positively what horses @re going to start and what weight they have to carry. Then, our system of betting is so simple and fair that the professional gambler has no advantage over the most unsophisti- Oated. Betting on racing through the pool- sellor is the very fairest in vogue in any Country, but the percentage on the money de- Posited on racing events should be much reduced from the present standard; Assocla- tlons should not share in the percentage, aod the right to sell pools should be given to the responsible man who would charge the least commission on the sales. By adhering strictly to the present mode of pool-selling, one of its features being that when a horse does not start money on him cannot be lost, there can be no great amount of swindling done, as frequently occurs in Eng- land, where favorite horses are withdrawn at the last moment, and all money invested on them is lost before the race begins. Repeti- tions of this kind of fraud have ruined thon- sands and have disgraced the English turf for years, and will do so as long ay bookmaking on play or pay events is continued in Great Britain, Handicapping good horses so that they may be beaten by bad ones is another English gambling game that should be seru- pulously avoided by our jockey clubs. Our wealthy classes are not great betters, and the few dollars they risk ona race isa mere bagatelle compared with what is done by the owners and backers ‘of horses in Eng- land. The bulk of the money laid on races in this country is by men who never own a race horse and never intend to, but who follow the horses from meeting to meeting for betting purposes, and their winnings and losings will never affect the interests of the Ame rican turf. A Cortous Case vor Insanrry Expsrts,— We publish to-day an account of the murder iu Rochester, this State, of a wife by her hus- band under circumstances of peculiar horror. Itaeems that after committing the terrible deed the murderer walked deliberately (o tie station house, surrendered himself to the Officers and gave a detailed account of the manner in which it was executed. In a Short time subsequently, however, ho pro- fessed to be entirely oblivious of the crime, wanted to know what he was conflucd for, and prayed to be restored to his wife, whom, it seems, he devotedly loved. The most curious part of the affair is that the prisoner Is known to have frequently shown signs of insanity, and the qnestion now arises whether he was insane at the time of committing the murder and confessing the act or is insane now in professing utter ignorance of it, The insanity experta have here a new ficld in which to try thoic skill. Tat Israavs or Travanrerco— Mr. Stevens’ Leorore.—The lecture which Mr, Stevens delivered inst evening before the American Geographical and Statisiical Society, on the ‘Isthmus of Tehuantepec as a New Route of Commerce,” hag all the interest and importance of actuality. The Peculiar adyan- tages of this isthmus are fully set forth by Mr. Stevens, but whether they are in all respects superior to those claimed in behalf of several other proposed routes for a ship canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific, can hardly be determined before the results of the underlaken by the United States gov shall havo been completed.

Jacob, like his great prototype, has a large following. surveys ‘ernment Tho Republican Party oa Ruiu. The attention of the leaders and managers of the republican party, including General Grant, cannot be too closely given to the fol- lowing exhibit of the division of the States between the two parties, as indicated in the results of this year’s or the Iantest State elec- tions :— DEMOCRATIC. the Rend to REPUBLICAN, States, Electorat Votes, States, Hlect Alabama. Titinois. . Arkansas, lowa.... Galtcornia, ... Kansas, Connecticut, fer enn. NE. ».06 Massachusetis . Michigan... Mb Rhode Island. South Caroliaa, Vermont, . Wisconsin TOUAL cedcaeeeeeeee 18 femeere EScck.taltoauaane Here we have all the States but two—Mis- sissippi and Tewms—the one giving seven eloc- toral votes and the other six, the seven being hardly more pesitively good for the republi- cans than the sixare for the democrats. It thus appears, then, that from our latest elections the Presidential electoral vote of the United States is democratic. This exhibit is start- ling. The republican party is evidently de- moralized, if not disorganized. In the height of its power it appears to be somewhat in the weakened condition of France, or like the mighty Samson shorn of his locks of strength, Over local squabbles or fuctious divisions the party has lost North Carolina, Georgia, Ten- nessee and Missouri; and from the stupid feud between the Fenton and the Conkling factions it has failed to recover New York; and from incompetent or lazy local leaders it has failed to recover Maryland or Delaware, even with the acquisition of the colored vote, and has failed to make any headway in Kentucky. In short, the republican party has too many cooks and too many captains, too many rival cliques and too many clashing factions, and it is on the road to ruin. It is rapidly using up its capital of General Grant’s popularity, and is in a fair way to swamp General Grant in 1872, The party is doing nothing to strengihen the administration, but everything to embar- rass and cripple it. General Grant saved the party in 1868, and has saved it in Congress henceftorward 1872; but at the rate of its losses this year it will in 1872 be completely demolished. The successes and prestige and power of Tammany Hall, on the other hand, have inspired the democracy of the whole country, and they seem to have in New York city a base of operations stronger than Wash- ington, One would think that the republi- cans, having carried through their missioa on the'slavery question and the negro question to the cap sheaf of negro suffrage, are now beating about hither and thither for some new idea, or some new leader, or seme new party, We know that the old republican party, after finishing its mission, broke up in 1824 on four Presidential candidates—Jackson, Adams, Crawford and Clay. The present republican party, but for General Grant In the White House, would surely go the same way in 1872. They say that Fenton is meditating a bolt any- how, @ la Martin Van Buren, and that Geary, of Pennsylvania, is hot on the trail of the labor reform party as an. independent candidate. At any rate, if these miserable ropublican feuds, petty jealousies, small personal revenges and senseless squabbles are not stopped Gene- ral Grant himself will soon be left high and dry, and the republican party will be scattered and divided among half a dozen mousing small potato politicians, adventurers and sectional demagogues, The simple truth is that General Grant and his party must have some new issue to fight for or his party will go to pieces, and he will go out, at the risk of bonds or no bonds, make or break, redemption or repudiation ; for the American people in this age of railways, telegraphs and army sausages will not go jog- ging-along at the rate of ten miles an hour.

Mr. WALTER MONTGOMERY'S Walter Montgomery last night, at Steinway Mail, gave the first of the three recitals which have been annuunced, prior to his depar- ture for Boston. He has already by his engage- ments at Nivio's and with “the Jauauschek” seated himself drmly in the kind esteem of the New York public as an actor of the first rank. But these rect- tals display the power and versatility of his genius far more strikingly than the exigencies of the stage will allow. He 1% certainly much stronger in elocution than in action. Last night lis programme began with some Shaks- Ft dag selections, including Hamlet's soliloquy un path and “The Seven Ages.” These were rendered with @ conscientious care, which, though apparent, never degenerated into pedantry, ana they must have stirred the souls of all lovers of the honored imnster of English arama by the exqnisite. fidelity with which they were inter- preted.

Clear, rich, musical, it swells and felis in full volumes of uttered melody until the hearer aimost belleves that the “belis, bells, bells,” with their varying burden of joy and sorrow, of solemnity aud pathos, are, in very fact, echon in his ears, The audience greeted this effort with au unboanded enthustasm, which, in so se- ject @ gathering, was singularly complimentary. ‘The recital terminated wiih the reading of a new m, written by Jonn Brougham, ‘The Hymn of rinces,’’ a pointed satire upon the folly of placing to do.

The cry ey Was “frauds in elections In the city of New York.
