The fact is we have made a sharp turn in New. York on the down-hill road to bank- raptey and chaos, and we are on the back track which leads to reform. And from this torning point it will be profitable to every man who has at heart the interests of bis country to look into the history of these political corruptions, and to mark their rise, growth and fearful development through the short historical period of forty years. Our whole political history as an independent people may, in this review, be divided into two periods—first, the period of political demoralization, extravagance, false pretences and brazen-faced debauchery. The first period—the period of political honesty, simplicity and economy—began with the supremely patriotic and honest administra- tion of Washington and ended with the cheap, simple, honest and admirable administration of John Quincy Adams. The elder Adams, the immediate successor of Washiagton, belonged to the same pure, old federal school ; and the administration uader both these men was substantially the same. Jefferson came in as tbe leader of a new party, and bis radical and philosophical ideas were largely those of Voltaire and the terrific first French revolu- tion; but for all this Jefferson was an old Ro- man republican in his sturdy simplicity and lofty integrity as a public servant and a private citizen; and the sound and honesi principles laid down in his administration, of honesty, fidelity to the public interests the country was carried by corrupt politicians down to Pierce’s Kansas border war, which was the overture to our great rebellion. And here, in the war against this great re- bellion, was opened a fountain of corruptions, compared with which even those of Van Bu- ren’a administration appear as trifies. The shoddy millionaires cropping out under Lin- coln’s administration, and the whiskey rings and whiskey kings blooming with the deadly nightshade under the astonishing fantastics of Andy Johnson, bad by the year 1868 so de- bauched the country that honest poverty had become a byword and a thing to laugh at, and successful knavery a thing to be worshipped and eulogized, even by Puritan parsons. Tweed, inspired by these examples and les- sons and by the general corruption of the pub- lic mind, undertook, through his Tammany “Ring,” the reduction of frauds, embezzle- ments and robberies of the public treasury in every form toa governmental system, rest- ing upon an oligarchy, with Tweed at the nexi, to buy his way to the United States Treasury, through Tom, Dick or Harry, for the Presidency. Where ishe now? We have had a groundswell and a tidal wave, and he is wrecked. Under General Grant's adminis- tration, in spite of the plundering Southern carpet-baggers, we have had a wholesome change in our national affairs. In making honesty his golden rale General Grant has made it respectable again. He revives the administration of Monroe, and he resembles the soldier Monroe, too, as @ clear-headed, honest, modest man. His title is clear for another term. On the test question between his administration and that of Tweed New York has spoken for Grant, and Mr. Greeley ought to be made a Commissioner of our Pub- lic Works. General Grant is vindicated and Thiers goverament is unable to wiold. ‘The reorganization of the army postponed ; trial of the guilty adjourned; thirty thousand pris- oners lingering for four months at the hulka, among whom are many innocent persons, attest the delays of justice; financial reforms put off; the industrial and commercial situa- tion—treaties of commerce with foreign Powers, which it is desired to modify— neglected, aud the capital of the natibn, Paris, declared suspected.” In very near these words does Prince Napoleon lament the condition of France and arraign the govern- ment which now has charge of its destinies. As a panacea for all these ills he has nothing better to suggest’ than the appli- cation of a plébiscite, Like certain med- ical quacks who believe their prepara- tions will cure every manner of disease, the Bonapartes entertain such confidence in plédiscites that they rely upon them to eradicate all republican distempera and monarchical complaints from the masses of the Feench people. While Plon Plon recapitulates with accuracy and precision the ills of France since the 4th of September, 1870, and refers only to the war which preceded these evils a3 “unfortunate for our arms,” he omits to inform his countrymen who were tho real authors of the disasters which plunged the nation into the misfortunes which it now suffers under. Who provoked the war with Germany? Who entered into that contest unprepared? And when the standards of France were led to the frontier, was not the grossest incompeatency, negligence and criminal ignorance displayed on the part-of the favorites who wore lifted into power by the imperial govern- ment? The evils which France ia suffering under at the present time may be directly traced to that government which Prince Napoleon still relies on, and which he believes will be recalled by the voice of the people. The empire has left to the republic a legacy of twenty years’ standing, which in the end produced catastrophes almost unparal- Tweed is condemned even by New York city, name his desired majorities in order to get and strict accountability for every penny of the public money, honorably attended the old republican party to the end of its great career. Thus Madison, of school as Jefferson, carried the country throngh the war of 1812 with Engiand, on the Jand and sea, without any blackening ombez- zlements or defalcations or frauds of any sort, and without muddying the fountains of public virtue. Monroe's unpretending but conscien- tious administration was so acceptable to the conntry that he was chosen for a second term as bythe unanimous voice of the people. Lastly, of this brave old Roman period of our WUT VE WUE yUUUp UE eae muha them in the officiaireturns. With New York, then, redeemed, a new hope inspires all bon- est men—the hope of atill better things for the Despair; but what next? There must be an- other “‘aew departure” of the democracy ; but what it will be no prophet yet can tell. A Continental Cyclone. Tho weather reports of the Signal Office, a8 given to the press on Tuosday, reveal a me- teorological wonder. The whole country east of the Mississippi was then under a cyclone, from Lake Superior to Galveston and from Sowannah to Montreal, under it the whole expenses of the govern- | cyclonical storm of such dimensions was im- ment of the United States were some thirteen amillions of dollars a year, or about one-fourth more than last year's expenses of Brooklyn possible ; but it is easy to see, by entering the weather reports for Tuesday at thirty-five minutes past seven A.

Rattroap Barvezs ayo Hien Wates.—It is reported that a serious accident came near occurring to a railroad train on the draw- bridge over Spuyten Duyvil Creek on Monday last. It appears that two of the cars, loaded with passengers, were thrown from the track weke*med eH, RIB Into the water, but of the accident is attributed to the disar- rangement of the rails on the draw, occasioned by the unusually high stage of water in the doms, the question of the East, the question of North German’ consolidation with Austria, the prospect of a European continental war, and the idea of a redistribution of the peoples, according to race and boundary. Russia has not been sleeping over the matter, by any means, since the termination of the Prussian advance against France. -Her people have become jealous of the development of the naval power of Germany. To say that Russia is afraid of this power would not bo at all in place. Russia will endeavor to limit tho operation of its force notwithstanding, In the present expression of the Moscow Gazetic we can perceive an inkling of her resolution, and read the first words of the preface of a new system of Europo-Kastera policy on the part of the Russians. Tae Boarp or Hzatra seems to be fairly aroused to the necessity of vigilance in com- bating the cholera and the smallpox. A reinspection of tenement houses, and thorough weekly inspections of sailora’ and emigrants’ boarding houses were ordered at the meeting yesterday, and a resolution prohibiting any one from living in cellars was adopted. Thorough measures relative to the cleaning of the streets and the removal of offal in the vacant lots uptown were also taken. The Health Officer was requested to issue sanitary instructions for the treatment of cholera to the agents of emigrafit sbips, and the Sanitary Committee suggested that the Secretary of War be requested to compel com- mandants of posts near the city to report weekly the sanitary condition of their forces to the city health authorities, This latter request was made some time ago, we believe, to the Secretary of War, and was not responded to very cordially. Under the present circumstances, howover, in view of the fact that the military is sappoged to be subservient to the civil authorities and the emergency is pressing, we hope the Secretary of War will see the necessity of co-operation between the forces at the various posts and Tue Boarp or Canvassers in Brooklyn Further rumors regarding the arrival of the Grand Duke reached the city at twelve o'clock iast night.

The republic and President Thiers are lovely monicipal ring of ‘Boss Tweed.” General Jackson was a brave man, a patriotic map, @ great man and an bonest man; political cor- tuptions of this day leads us back to his administration; and there it stops. In 1820 the old federal party disappeared, and in 1824 the old republican party was dis- solved and the people became “‘all republicans and all federalists.” Consequently in 1824 there was a scrub race for the Presidency, and it was between Jackson, Adams, Craw- ford and Clay. Jackson had the largest electoral vote, but the election had to go to the House of Representatives, and there, in a coalition with the friends of Clay, Adams was elected. John Randolph denounced it as a “coalition between the blackleg and the Puri- tan.” The famous Colonel Dick Johnson said that “an administration so elected must be put doing well; but the republicans ‘must look | downif it is as pure as the angels of light ;” and sharp, if they would not some fine morning be | Buchanan, 7 caught napping. _ Snow Storms are reported from all direc- tions, and even so far south as Pitisburg, Pa.

This was a new depsrture. It was the beginning of a systematic party division of the spoils. It was the in- auguration of the policy of the ‘cohesive power of the public plunder.” Then came defalcations and embezzlements, and then came the old hero's fight with the United States Bank of that day—that “bank monster with its tuirty millions of capital.” The bank among certain State pet banks, with a carte country plontifully with paper money.

It was truly a continental cyclone, and its existence may well set at rest the minds of many old fogies of science, who still bave their doubts of the law of storms and question the possibility of foreannouncing them. This tremendous revolving gale was Predicted and described in all ils quadrants fully twenty-four nies should be compelled to so construct their bridges as to prevent the possibility of acci- dents occurring from this cause.

This disaster might have been foressen, and if proper pre- cautions had been taken to avert it Long Branch property owners would have acted the part of wisdom. What is wanted is a break- water of stone along the beach, so as to pro- tect the bluff from the fury of the breakers during a storm like that of the night before last.

Tue Latest rrom Uran.—A despatch from Salt Lake which we print this morning has it that a number of well known polygamists are making arrangements to send away their plural wives should the decision in the forth- coming trials go against the defendants. If it should come to this wo shall despise the Mor- mons even more than we have yet done, If they believe polygamy to be a Divino institu. tion, let them stick to it and fight the fight like honorable men.

The plural wives and their families are the inheritance, and therefore in a sense the Property, of the nation, and the nation must and will see to it that they are cared for. Many of the Mormon leaders are now rich, and in the downfall and abandonment of po- lygamy Congress must see to it that the wives and children of tho polygamous marriages havea fair share of the property of the hus- bands and fathers.
