The returns, so far received, of the results of the California election of Wednesday last, State and municipal, indicate a decisive and important victory for the people’s party over the Central Pacific Railroad monopoly. The main contest was for the Legislature, upon which will fall the election of United States Senator, in place of Eugene Casserly, dem- ocrat, whose term expires March 3, 1875. Mr. Casserly, having proclaimed himself, ‘in un- mistakable terms, hostile to the continuance of the intolerable railway despotism which has been established over California, may be considered as having secured a popular en- dorsement for a re-election, although it is probable that the democratic party has not secured a majority of the Legis- lature; for theré were three parties in the late election—the republicans, the democrats and the independent anti-railroad party. The two old parties in the canvass were so inexplicably mixed up in the manipu- lations of the railroad ring that neither can claim fairly to represent in the Legislature the independent anti-railroad mcvement. But while the democrats in San Francisco were demoralized and divided by the intrigues of the Central Pacific Ring the republicans throughout the State were much more seriously cut up and subjugated by the same powerful monopoly. The San Francisco Morning Call, a republi- can journal, admits that the general results of the election are in favor of the democrats in its declarations that the Central Pacific is bit- terly opposed to Casserly; that he stood firm as a rock against the encroachments of Stan- ford & Co. in the Goat Island controversy, and that, with a view to his defeat and the election of a United States Senator in the interests of the monopoly, the Democratic Legislative Convention (of San Francisco) was purchased; that the democracy, never- theless, and the best citizens of the State of other parties favor Casserly; that Governor Booth (anti-railroad republican) has an un- derstanding with Casserly that, in spite of the support of the administration, Stanford is in a minority, and that Casserly and Booth have the game in their own hands. From these admissions we infer that throughout the State the republican party, as representing the national administration on the Central Pacific Railroad monopoly, has suffered a significant defeat, and that the democratic party, through Casserly, its representative in this contest, will probably secure the substantial fruits of the victory in his re-election to the Senate. The democratic journals are already begin- ning to sing their songs of triumph over the the apparent general result in California as a party victory, foreshadowing a democratic res- toration; but this election, turning upon the issue raised by the people outside the demo- cratic and republican organizations, has a far broader and deeper meaning than a demo- cratic success. It means that the people, looking to their immediate interests, are beginning to think and act for .themselves; that they are thus liberating themselves from their old party leading strings, and that, against wealthy and corrupting corporations, and against ‘‘the cohesive power of the pub- lic plunder,” they are entering bravely upona new departure. The general result of this California election means directly the subju- gation of the Central Pacific Railroad mo- nopoly and, indirectly, the reduction of all the railroads of the Union to a governmental system of freights and fares, which will bind them against future extortions and rapacious raids upon the public, in any shape or form. In this late active California canvass of the people against the Central Pacific oligarchy we have the opening of a contest. which, we apprehend, will rapidly be magnified into a general movement for the regulation by Con- gress of our ‘commerce among the several States and with the Indian tribes,’’ in a gen- eral law regulating the freight and passenger charges of all our railroads. This journal for several years past has from time to time urged upon the American people the approach of this inevitable and irrepressi- ble conflict and their only course for redress against these grasping and unscrupulous rail- way corporations and unholy. alliances. We have seen how State legislatures have been and can be bought and sold; we have shown that if these law-making bodies of the several States could be composed of the wisest and purest representatives of the popular will attainable there can be no effective or consistent action among them in their legislation upon rail- roads, and we have contended from the begin- ning of this controversy that the only way of public relief lies through the election of a Congress, with instructions directly from the people in reference to the remedies they need for their future protection and security against oppressive railway extortions, frauds and false pretences. We are, therefore, greatly grati- fied with the issue directly raised by the new anti-railroad party in California and with the general result as reported; for with the re- election of Mr. Casserly or the return of any other outspoken adversary of the Central Pa- cific Ring to the United States Senate we shall have the war between the people and their railway kings formally. carried into Congress. From this beginning we cannot doubt we shall have the battle extended along the whole line in the general elections of next year for a new Congress. From the present movements of the new agricultural party of the granges they are evidently drifting in this direction. In some of the Northwestern States they have entered the political field for their coming local elections as an independent organization therein, and they will doubtless, in the results, develop a degree of strength which will lead them to a wider sphere of action. As in Cali- fornia, the republican and democratic cau- cuses and conventions of all the country, ap- preciating the tremendous balance of power represented in. these independent, anti-rail- road organizations, are anxious to secure them; but, while it is apparent that the granges are resolved upon a new departure, it does not appear that, in leaving the republi- can church, to which they belong or have mostly belonged, they intend to be drawn un- der the old flag of the democratic party. Are we, then, to have three parties in our | own subordinates? assist us, to some extent, in answering this question. For example, if General Butler shall be nominated as the republican candi- date for Governor of Massachusetts, and if the bolt which is threatened by the Puritans against Butler follows his nomination, the dis- affection thus developed in the party camp may extend to other States, to the prejudice of the administration and of General Grant, pro- claimed the candidate of his kitchen cabinet fora third term. There may be the disaffection suggested, in the event of a bolt against Butler, because Butler is understood to be the candidate of the administration for Governor of Massachusetts. But as this is one of those ‘‘off years” in our political affairs, in which party discipline is not.enforced, and in which our State elections generally go by default, there may be in these coming elec- tions of September, October and November, some more of those opposition victories and revolutions in figures which, in fact, signify nothing. This California State election, determined outside the two regular party organizations of the day, belongs not to this aforesaid chapter of accidents. It is the practical opening of a great contest for the possession of Congress, by the people against railway monopolies, a contest which we expect'will make every candidate for Congress in next year’s elections a party in the fight, and which will strengthen or weaken tho administration according to its position among the belligerents. It now ap- pears to stand as having been a supporter of the Central Pacific Railway in California, and as having lost thereby something of that pres- tige of success which is indispensable to the unity of the republican party under the ad- ministration. Whatever may have been the precise position of General Grant in reference to the main issue in this late California can- vass, the time approaches when he must de- clare himself for or against Congressional in- tervention for the protection of the people against despotic railway corporations, or be prepared to meet the consequences as an ally of our confederate railway kings. Sins of Omission in Female Educa- tion. The motherly instinct of girls is a theme which has been over-written by moralists and poets. No doubt there is such a principle in very many girls, and that it often saves them from the ruin to which an evil education would naturally lead ; but the moralists frequently appear to forget that in numerous instances this instinct has been crushed by the false ideas which have been fostered at school and the cruel repression which has been employed at home. Now that we are alluding to the defects in female education, it may be well to state that some of the more serious of them arise from sins of omission. Perhaps it is not going too far to say that in the vast majority of cases there is an utter neglect to train and develop this motherly instinct, to throw light upon it, to build it up and strengthen it into a principle and a conviction dearer than life, sacred as honor. It is the motherly in- stinct which makes good nurses and in many cases good servants. Itis that thoughtful and affectionate anticipation of a household's needs and wants which makes a home that “heaven on earth’’ we all have heard of but few of us have found. Prevision dictates pro- vision. The woman who is accustomed to think for others will become apt in devising practical ways for their help and comfort. It is only girls of exceptionally fine natures who can exercise these subtle and sweet solici- tudes. It is only the bright exceptions who have what may be called a genius for home and who understand intuitively how to make a household comfortable. With others—espe- cially with those who have not had the good fortune to possess excellent mothers—it must become a matter of training, and though o school, at best, isa poor substitute for that finely penetrative influence which o happy and lovingly-ordered home exhales, still it is the best substitute we have, and is therefore not to be despised. This is the point we are battling for. Practical instruction in domes- tic details, and, above all, in that affectionate and conscientious spirit which should inspire their performance, ought to underlie all the other instruction at our female boarding schools and colleges. All other branches should crystallize around this focus, and until this is done it is in vain to look fora much purer or more exalted social condition than we at present have, Pourtics any Biaspuemy.—At the Texas Democratic State Convention, held in Austin on the 4th inst, the permanent chairman, in his opening address, made the remark that the radical platform consisted only of high sounding generalities, and that “they might as well have adopted the moral law with the Lord’s Prayer as a postscript.” It would be a good thing if some politicians knew a little more about the moral law than they exhibit in their official transactions. Were that the case such scandals as the Crédit Mobilier affair and such robberies as the back salary grab would be less frequent. The allusion to the Lord's Prayer in the connection in which the Texas democratic president places itis highly irreverent, not to say blasphemous, and it does not speak well for the morality or the religious training of the individual who uses the figure. However, in the instance before us we suppose the old adage about Satan quoting Scripture to suit his purposes may be urged by way of defence, and there is no reason why a Texas democrat should not be allowed to quote Scripture on the same principle. But it is in bad taste, nevertheless. Axorprr Cuarter Mcppie.—Onr law re- porter furnishes the reasons which Justice Fancher assigns for declaring void that charter clause upon which Comptroller Green relied for wresting from the Supervisors what the irreverent politician terms a salary grab. ‘The Judge applies the charter ' to city officers and city affairs only. The decision is likely to reach many other matters. For if, as the opinion argues, all legislation under the ¢har- ter which transcends the one subject and the single title of city government becomes void, then what shall be done with the prohibition against an Alderman continuing to be a magi» trate, or against the Supervisors choosing their Perhaps, too, the clauses next Presidential contest—the republican and | about stolen property and its disposition by democratic parties and the party of the farm- | magistrates, or touching the filing by Coro- ers’ granges and their various outside, anti- monopoly affiliations?

Thiers and the Prospect for the Frenem Republic. The political situation in France commands attention to-day from a variety of causes. Prominent among these is the fact that the war indemnity is now fully paid. It is only two years and a half since the. preliminary treaty of peace was signed by the representa- tives of France and Germany at Versailles; yet in that brief space of time, in addition to meoting all the pecuniary requirements of the home government, France has paid over to Germany five milliards.of francs, equal to one thousand millions of dollars. In the whole history of the world no nation in the same space of time has responded so nobly to the call of its government. It seemed at first a huge burden, but on the shoulders of the French people it rested lightly. The incubus is now removed and France is free, Ina few days more the last of the German invaders will have left her soil, and the famous ‘Pact of Bordeaux’ will be at an end. What will France do with herself, now that she is free? is a question which many are anx- iously asking. This question is rendered all the more important now that, according to com- mon report, a fusion of the Bourbon interests has been effected and that ex-President Thiers has openly avowed his conversion to the Republic. One other item of news, although not yet properly authenticated, lends interest to the general situation. It is stated that President MacMahon no longer makes it a secret that he will not serve his country in any capacity under the white flag. This last item of news may be true or it may be false ; it is not yet, as we have said, properly authen- ticated ; but, true or false, it requires to be stated in this connection. What will France do with herself? is, therefore, a question which compels us to look at the general situa- tion, and to consider at once the character of the existing political combinations and the relative strength of the various political fac- tions. It is undeniable that the Bordeaux compact has hitherto restrained the factions from seek- ing individual expression except in the quiet- est and least offensive manner possible. Legitimists, Orleanists, Bonapartists, republi- cans have, no doubt, during these two years steadily kept their sectional interests in view; but it is not to be denied that these sectional interests, much as they may have been culti- vated secretly, have been subordinated to the general welfare of France. M. Thiers was strong, and his services were deemed indispensa- ble so long as he faithfully clung to the com- promise; but when, in November of last year, he declared in his message to the Assembly that it was necessary to proceed to establish the institutions essential to the national life under republican forms of government he de- parted from the Bordeaux compact, to a cer- tain extent betrayed his trust and made his downfall certain. From that hour the monarch- ists in the Assembly distrusted him and made the arrangements which accomplished his downfall in May of this year. M. Thiers ventured too far and he fell. It was the Bor- deaux compact which made the victory of his opponents so comparatively easy. The con- servatives in the Assembly, who now rule, have said nothing, have done nothing openly, indicative of any intention to do violence to the arragements made at Bordeaux. Their likings and dislikings have been but thinly disguised ; but their public actions have been cautious to the last degree, It has been deemed necessary by all parties to wait until the indemnity was paid and until the soil was free. If M. Thiers had been more cautious he might still have been in power. He was incautious, or rather he was too trustful of his strength, and, daring too much, he lost his hold, and the power which for two years he had used so skilfully and so much to the ad- vantage of his country passed into other hands. True it no doubt is that his over- throw was accomplished by a coalition of legitimists, Orleanists and Bonapartists; but it is not less true that such coalition was effected on the principle of the ‘Pact of Bordeaux.’’ The indemnity was not yet paid, the country was not yet free, and consequently the time for decisive action had not yet come. With the payment of the last franc of the indemnity. money to Germany comes emanci- pation—the emancipation of France as a nation and the emancipation of the factions from all binding engagements. The Bordeaux compact isno more. With France, to-day, we rejoice, We rejoice that she is restored to herself. We rejoice that she has done so nobly in the years of her sorrow, and that she is free to decide her own destiny. But we cannot say we rejoice when we think of the future. Whether the future form of govern- ment for that country is to be monarchical or republican we do not pretend to know. It is certain, however, that when the Assembly meets the question as to the definitive estab- lishment of a government must be raised and in some way settled. The chances for the immediate restoration of the Empire are small, mainly because the Bonapartist repre- sentative is under age. The restoration of the monarchy might be easy were it not for the white flag. France will never have the white flag. But on this point De Chambord may yield. If this point is not yielded the Republic must win. If it is yielded the fight will be between the monarchy on the one hand and the Republic on the other, and in the struggle the Bonapartists will wield the balance of power. The avowed conversion of M. Thiers must be regarded for the present as a gain to the republican cause. The issues, however, are doubtful. Meanwhile it is safe to say that France has before her a fresh struggle which may tax her strength to the utmost. It will be well if the struggle is got over without bloodshed and all the horrors of civil war. Destruction, or Vatvanne Horses.—The fire at Fashion Stud Farm m New Jersey on Thursday has cast quite a gloom over many sporting circles, which was only partially dis- pelled by the news of the rescue of such celebrated flyers as Goldsmith Maid, Luoy and Rosalind from the flames,’ uninjured. Eight well known trotting horses, including a valuable team belonging to President Grant, were destroyed. The fire is supposed to have originated from the sparks of passing looo- motive. It was very injudicious to entrust such valuable stock in a combustible build- ing, liable at any moment to be set on fire from passing trains. The same want of cau- tion may be seen everywhere in the vicinity of | our prominent railroads, The Kelsey Trageay—What Is To Be | solemn German beverages suuiaian cdl the Ultimate Solution? All who have read the wonderful novel by | which Wilkie Collins first established a reputa- tion will recollect the impressive scene in the lonely summer house where Count Fosco dilates upon the frequency with which murder is concealed and its perpetrator escapes. The massive figure of the remorseless and accom- plished villain contrasts with his arch rhetoric and debonnair address, and while Lady Glyde listens and winces a melancholy air blows over the autumn leaves as though giving voice to some horrible foreboding. Possi- bly the memory of some such scene as this has floated through more than one mind that has acquainted itself with the history of the Kelsey tragedy; not that there is anything in the one which is a direct reflection from anything in the other, but that over both, intensified to an indefinite extent in the bloody melodrama of Huntington, lingers that awful spell which makes the flesh creep and the cheek whiten and the imagination falter before the possibili- ties it conjures up. In this inscrutable Long Island mystery are elements so foul, 90 unnatural, so inhuman, so utterly contradictory of what any one would fancy possible in the middle of a community believed to be Christian, that they cannot be swept from public recollection and comment with thedightness of ordinary gossip. Neither is it desirable that they should be. We take no delight in dwelling upon crimes which, like this of Huntington, prove how deep a seat devilishness may have in human bosoms. We have no desire to dip our pen in blood and write with the ink of sensation. But some sins are so horrible that strong language becomes weak when applied to their description, and the only way to enforce the proper moral is to ex- hibit the horror again and again in all its vastness and nakedness, until the sentimen- talist who weeps an extenuation for every vice that does not injure him personally is startled out of his morbidity and put on the track of that sound sympathy and healthy feeling which demand that wickedness should meet with retribution. We think that some such view as this is ratified by the terrible and shameful deed at Huntington—a deed so ter- rible and shameful that for the credit of human nature we await with impa- tience the revelation of any fact that shall prove it to te not quite so horrible as it first appeared It is on this account that we learn with pleasure that the condition in which it is claimed that Kelsey was seen by a circle of observers, among whom both sexes were represented, seems to exonerate the feminine portion of them from the charge’ of immodesty and inhumanity which have been brought against them. If later report speaks truly, this portion of the audience which beheld Kelsey after he had been tarred and feathered was not informed of the kind of spectacte held in waiting, and the victim, moreover, was half hidden with a sack or jacket which depended from the waist. We hope—nay, we believe that this version of the affair is true. Respect for womanhood is father to the wish, and we are gratified for the slightest gleam which relieves the frightful darkness of the surroundings. Above the surface of the Huntington tragedy two important points project. One is the fact that a murder has been committed, and the other is the fact that the perpetrators are unknown.. We have nothing to say at present respecting the kind and degree of punishment which Kelsey deserved, if all that is alleged against him be true. That question has nothing to do with present con- siderations. The awful central circumstance survives that in the midst of a peaceful, happy and prosperous community, where holy church bells tolled on Sabbath noons and decent householders met regularly in the temple of God; where some of the best favors of Providence were %howered, and young people grew up in the light of religious train- ing and example, a deed has been committed which many a savage, with no light but the dim radiance of uneducated conscience, would suffer torture rather than perform. All that remains to be done now is to detect the criminals and measure to them that punish- ment which so immense a crime demands, All that can be achieved is to exonerate all who may deserve exoneration, and, having detected, tried, found guilty and sentenced the proper parties, to leave them until their hour of punishment alone with their remorse and God. The Internationalists in Denmark. ‘Wise was the statesman who observed that “repressive measures only serve to strengthen secret societies and popular demonstrations.”’ We find that Denmark does not believe in this axomatic truth, and that her Supreme Court has sentenced two of the officers of the Inter- national Society to three years’ hard labor in the State Prison and the President to five years. The severer penalty for the offence, which, by the wildest stretch of the imagina- tion, can only be mentioned as a political conspiracy, is equivalent to.the punishment attached to grand larceny, forgery and homi- cide in the United States. Denmark does not know, probably, that she is simply manufac- turing a dangerous class of political martyrs, in whose names or in whose memories the periodical revolutions of the Old World will execute bloody reprisals among the aris- tocracies. History has ever taught this lesson—one which the French should have remembered when they led the Communists out on the plain of Satory and shot them by the judgment of a military tribunal. Nothing inflames the popular passions so much as political vengeance taking the form of needless and extreme infliction. Free governments never exercise it, though their means are quite as adequate as those of Denmark, France or Germany. We need not state that we have no sympathy for the disorganizing and ‘red’’ ideas of the deluded beings who wish to im- pose on mankind a system of chronic anarchy, obliterating family, religion and society. Yet wo do not believe that the best way to combat their morbid cravings is to lock their persons up behind dungeon bars. Fancy Drinks in Fatherland. More than one English correspondent writ- ing from Vienna has described the ecstasy with which the Austrians have ‘“gone’’ for those “gentle American drinks’ mentioned by Disraeli in “Dothair.” Our punches, our juleps and our cobblers spread like wildfire. All the wogld was tickled withastray, The you saw well-born beauties imbibing gin slings and Tom and Jerrys with the piquant consciousness of doing something naughty in highly fascinating manner. The drink im- bibed they made hairpins of the slender golden tubes through which they had drawa it, and went rejoicing on their way. Now it is not generally admitted that Americans are artists in imbibition, and, consequently, the compliment which our German ond Austrian friends have been kind enough to pay us comes with peculiar grace. It iso handsome return for the kindness with which we have taken to lager beer. We feel that, to some extent, we have justified ourselves im the eyes of the world. How beautiful is the imagination that enters into fancy drinks! They are liquid kaleidoscopes, to be admired by the mouth instead of the eye. And yet the Teutons do not seem to have entered into the spirit of the thing as largely as could ba wished. It was no infrequent sight for three. of them to surround one cobbler and gloat- ingly imbibe at once ina sort of triangular triumph. It has been suggested, indeed, that this arose from the conclusion that three heads were better than one, and that when so im- portant an affair as an American julep was to be pronounced upon it was advisable to have one judgment corrected by two others. At any rate, there can be no doubt that American, drinks in Vienna were a success, and that were the originator of American fancy beve- rages known his name would sink affection- ately into the Teutonic heart.

That “honesty is the best policy” may be ex- empiified by the following little incident:—A man at Belmont, Mo., sold to a mill owner a saw log, which proved to be hollow. As he soid it fora: sound log he voluntarily went and gave back the price, and, hauling it to his own yard, chopped {t up for firewood. In this operation he found ten $5 gold pteces which somebody had secreted in it. Tney have had another editorial “affair of honor’ in New Orleans. According to the Ptoa- yune, at four P.

Mr. Roman was twice wounded in the right or sword arm, when Dr. C. Beard, surgeon, declared that the fight could not goon. Thus terminated the affair. Rey. Dr. John Thomson, of the Fourth Presby- terian church in Thirty-fourth street, arrived Wednesday in the Victoria, from Glasgow, and will resume his labors to-morrow, During his absence of two months his church has been repaired and improved in appearance.
