The most direct and positive con- tradictions of testimony were sworn to by different witnesses. A colonel defied the authority of the President by his recusancy, and evidently nonplussed the youthful Duke by the use of language which is strictly for- bidden in such presence and under such cir- cumstances, Tae Srrvation rs Mexico.—A Henarp special telegram from Mexico city brings news from the republican capital to the 31st ult. ‘The insurgents in Sonera and Cohahuila have been severely punished by the government forces. The revolutionists in Alguestan sub- mitted to the authority of the executive. President Lerdo insists that Guatemala shall assist in defining the boundary line between the republics. Diplomatic intercourse with the Central American Cabinet has been sus- pended awaiting action in this direction. The Mexican authorities remain, as will be The November Wieetions—signs of = General Coliapse of the Republican Party, . From the returns of yesterday's elections before us, including New York city and State, Massachusetts, Virginia, Wisconsin, 4c, a general. collapse has apparently fallen upon the republican party. Tammany, like a giant refreshed with new wine, rises again with something of her ancient strength, and the fifty-five thousand majority of the republicans on their State ticket last fall, if not com- pletely obliterated, is almost reduced to nothing, Corresponding results are re- ported from Massachusetts, Virginia, Wiscon- sin and other States. The democratic victory of October in Ohio, it may be contended, was accidental; but when we find the East, the West, the North and the South all drifting in the same general direction it is evident, at least, that the sprinkling clouds of October have gathered and strengthened to the propor- tions of a political cyclone in November. In the history of the country, since the time of Washington, there never was @ more over- whelming Presidential success than that of 1872; and in our political annals we have never had in a single year such a general shrinkage for the dominant party from heavy majorities to small ones, and to minorities, as in 1873. The popular whirlwind of 1840, which carried General Harrison into the White House, was followed bya marked political reaction in 1841, and there have been some other cases of this kind from time to time; but we have had no reac- tion of this character to compare with this of 1873, touching the disturbing forces at work, including the demoralizations, divi- sions, disaffections, discontent and indiffer- ence of the party in power to the conse- quences, ‘ seen, watchful and active in their administra- tion of public affairs. Exrr Bocus Reronm.—Yesterday’s election in this city has finally disposed of the po- litical traders who have been driving ® pros- perous business for the last two years under the mask of reform. The Committee of Seventy, after getting s large portion of its members into fat offices, dissolved during the canvass, but was followed by several offshoots, all of which claimed to be the original reform concerns and to wield great power over the city. Some of these combinations managed ‘to oxtort money out of such of the candidates ‘as were foolish enough to be bled, but the re- ult shows their influence was not equal to heir impudence. In future they will be bet- ter known. The people have at last discovered There is something more in all this than local issues and general public indifference concerning them. We remember that the democratic State triumphs of 1867, upon a greatly reduced popular vote in each case, were proclaimed by the democratic journals and accepted by the party as the first waves of a general popular reaction which would swell into a resistless tide in 1868, upon which the old party would be borne again into the government. We remember how the democratic Bourbon leaders in the National Party Convention, held in Tammany Hall in 1868, believing that the State elections of 1867 signified in their general results a popular reaction against the issues upon which the republicans had successfully fought the war for the Union and the contest of Southern reconstruction. We remember how those Bourbon leaders declared the reconstruction measures of Oongress ‘‘unconstitutional, revolutionary, null and void,”’ after rejecting the new departure of a recognition of the fixed results of the war, pro- posed under the banner of Chief Jus- tice Chase, and we know what followed. We know how triumphantly General Grant carried the country as the Union champion of the war, and of the issues of the war as set- tled by Congress, and in the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments of the constitution; and we know that if the same issues were now before the people these elections of 1873 would no more signify the rising tide of a political revolution than the elections of 1867. But these issues of the war are settled, and the democratic party was brought to their recognition through their unexpected victory in New Hampshire in the spring of 1871. From that victory the old Bourbon leaders, learning nothing and forgetting nothing, im- mediately revived their oft-defeated programme against the fixed results of the war, and raised such a hue and cry over New Hampshire that they instantly revived the old Union spirit of the war, so that a few weeks after their great triumph in New Hampshire they were given a rebuke from Connecticut which extinguished their Jack-o'-lantern. Then followed the new departure, inaugurated by the sagacious Val- landigham, in Ohio, and, with the ground thus broken, step by step the democratic party advanced from its old democratic ticket and platform of 1868 to the liberal republican can- didates and principles of 1872. This complete casting away of all the dead issues of the past, this absolute acceptance of the new order of things as established in the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend- ments of the constitution, was too abrupt and too sweeping to be at once accepted or com- prehended by the old democratic Bourbons, Hence their desertions from the liberal repub- lican ticket of Greeley and Brown and the overwhelming re-election of General Grant. Nevertheless the democratic new departure of 1872, first reproclaimed by the party in Ohio in 1873, has become the established creed of the party throughout the country. Accord- ingly there is no longer an inch of ground re- maining to fight over in reference to the great principles of universal liberty and civil and political equality as established in the consti- tution from the results of the war for the Union. The new issues which have taken the place of those old issues rest upon the merits and demerits of General Grant's administration and the party in power. The administration and the republican party are thus thrown upon the defensive, and the developments of the financial pressure which now weighs like a nightmare upon the country are suggestive of something more in these November elec- tions than public indifference to merely local issues and local candidates. In the late Presidential campaign there was one plea advanced against the election of Greeley, which of itself was decisive against him. It was the plea that his election, with the restoration of the democratic party to the control of the government, in the reckless overthrow of our existing financial system, would inevitably precipitate upon the coun- try a financial crisis, a financial convulsion and universal confusion, dis- tress, bankruptcy and repudiation. ‘Let well enough alone,” in view of these terrible dan- Gers, was a most potential cry against honest Horace Greeley as the democratic candidate for the Presidency. But these fearfel dan- gers which the country was so eloquently and successfully urged to avoid in the re-election of General Grant have come upon us in the first year of his second term, and in the midst of a financial security which has been exalted to the skies as the imperishable glory of the administration and the republican party. ‘that if they desire reform they must strive to , ro it by their own efforts and not through instrumentality of scheming politicians impudent strikers, Can we doubt that these overshadowing clouds, these thickening troubles to the business interests aud producing classes of | fund for the poor f te country, have had thelr effect in these late elections? Is it not apparent that the public mind is awakened to the alarming tendencies of the manifold dis- closed in the Orédit Mobilier Operations, in swindling Pacific railway sepemes and buchu banks, in back-pay hills, in reckless govern- ment appropriations and expenditures, in In- dian frauds, and in the general demoraliza- tion of our ruling politicians? Is it not apparent, we ask, that the public mind is at length awakening tothe question of a change? Do we not perceive in these elections that the question of Casarism is in process of settle- ment at the bar of public opinion? In 1852 Pierce was elected President by the votes of all the States except four—two North and two South—and yet from the very excess of its power the democratic party of that day began to fall to pieces in 1853. May not these November elections, then, of 1873 be applied asa warning to the present dominant and over-confident republican party? The Police Justices—The Question of the Constitutionality or the New Law. The Police Justices appointed by Mayor Havemeyer took their seats yesterday in the several courts to which they have been as- signed, with the exception of the Yorkville district. At the Tombs, Jefferson Market and Essex Market the old Justices, who hold by virtue of elections under the old law, quietly retired on the appearance of their suc- cessors, after serving upon the latter written protests signifying that they relinquish pos- session of their offices without prejudice to their right to retain the same, and with the intention of contesting the constitutionality of the act by which they have been superseded. In every instance the meeting of the rival claimants of the positions was marked by courtesy and good feeling. In the York- ville Court the old Justice has adopted an independent course, and has ob- tained an injunction prohibiting the new appointees from interfering with him in the discharge of his duties, Yesterday he had taken the precaution to obtain the at- tendance of a number of deputy sheriffs to protect him against any attempt to disregard the injunction, but the new Justices did not make their appearance. In accordance with the orders of the Police Commissioners, however, no prisoners were taken before the Court, and the question of possession therefore remains open until to-day. The old Judge will, no doubt, repeat this morning the proceedings of yesterday, and it will remain for the new ap- pointees either to take forcible possession or to appear on the injunction and move that it be dissolved. If the latter course, which is the legal one, should be pursued, the first decision on the constitutionality of the new law will be reached. It is very evident that the more speedily this important question can receive a legal solu- tion the better it will be for the community. Grave doubts exist as to the constitutionality of the law under which the appointments of Mayor Havemeyer have been made ; doubts which have been shared by many members of the Board of Aldermen. It is maintained that the Police Justices are justices of the peace, and as such are elective under the eighteenth section of the sixth article of the constitution. Whatever opinion may be en- tertained on this point, every person will con- cede that all doubt should be removed by its final decision in the Courts. If the new Justices are not legally in office all commit- ments made by them will be void, and the consequence may be a most serious entangle- ment and a deplorable defeat of the ends of justice. It is to be hoped, therefore, that neither the Mayor, the police authorities nor the Judges will throw any obstructions in the way of aprompt settlement of the constitu- tional question, no matter whether it is to be reached by the independent action of the Yorkville Judge or to result from the more peaceful and courteous action of his late associates. The Winter and the Unemployed=—A Reliet Fund. The letter which will be found elsewhere, making a foundation for a fund to help the poor through the coming winter, we commend to the thoughtful notice of the well-to-do in our community. There is, we fear, little doubt that all will be sadly wanted which can be bestowed. While our business men are propping cach other to pre- vent a suspension of wealthy firms the chari- table who think of those who are the first to suffer, the poor, should do their share in help- ing to tide over the winter. The researches of our reporters in the city and among the work- ing classes reveal a great amount of enforced idleness and the voluntary cessation from work of great numbers in the building trade to resist a reduction of wages. The ‘bosses,’’ they argue, are working by contracts drawn up on the present wage rate; rent, coal and provisions, they say, are no cheaper, and they teel themselves justified in a course that looks so anomalous at present. Between capi- tal and labor there is seldom much love lost, but it behooves both at present to act forbearingly and with caution. Harsh measures on one side and rash action on the other are equally out of place at this junc- ture, in an industry where there seems a chance of work not being wholly interrupted except from such causes. Capital and labor should, in times like those upon us, be brought into a mutual alliance, instead of taking to hostile camps. But outside this small quarrel there are tens of thousands in this city who would be glad to be assured through the winter of the wages which the laborers re- ject. There are thousands at present un- employed who see little prospect of work until things have brightened. The actual suspensions do not represent one-half of the dearth of employment which the financial position may bring about. Hun- dreds of firms are discharging hands to save themselves from bankruptcy, and it makes no difference to the poor for what cause work has been stopped. We do not advocate anything which would diminish the American work- man’s self-reliance or self-respect. We do not wish to anticipate such a thing as wholesale pauperism among those who labor for their bread; bat philanthropy will, we fear, find abundant exercise for its godlike qualities in the season before us. Let the rich, in some shape, follow, then, the example of the gentle- man who has sent o first contribution to this rr and Nostrams for Reliet. Yesterday, being a legal holiday, gave Wall street a rest ; but to-day does not seem likely to show much recuperation of wasted financial tissue among those who put their trust in Buchu. The troubles which first took shape in Wall treet have spread over a great part of the country, as a stone dropped in the sea sends out ita concentric rings over the water. The tightening of the money sources by the yet solvent banks, pro- duced by the general distrust, has led toa stringency everywhere. What is most signifi- cant in the manner in which this stringency is being felt by the mercantile and manufac- turing community is that the largest houses have first shown signs of going under. Our correspondence from Rhode Island gives us among the many reasons which have brought the great concerns there toa practical bankruptcy as the chief one that the way of Briwreus-handed business extension was chosen instead of safe and healthy business expansion. It was the policy to look for more mercantile worlds to conquer before those already occupied were safe from their nat- ural foes, What would be said of the general, who, taking almost the entire male population from his own country, and borrowing Swiss and Hessians at high rates wherever he could get them, should march out to conquer? It would be very unsafe for his own country. What would be said of his skill and common sense, if, after entering a new country at great cost of men, he left only a corporal’s guard to occupy ét and carried his swelling name and his diminished forces into the next country ahead, and there repeated the process? The first rising would cut his line in two, The heart of his own country would be defenceless, It would only need a Moscow, a hard winter to retreat in and Cossacks to harass him to make the Napoleon ready for his inevitable doom, without a single battle fought. Yet, in finance, this is what has been done. In busi- ness it has been done and overdone, and we see the result in banking houses with preten- tious names and business houses of the hugest proportions laid in the dust or on the verge of being tumbled down. The lines of speculations were too long and the actual money forces too small to make their perma- nent occupation a possibility. The borrowed moneys (the Swiss and Hessians of finance) had to be paid for or returned. Long credits are of no avail when the means of making money are shut off. Such is the condition of the bankers and merchants who have unwisely yielded to the prevalent temptation to be little Cesars in business or finance. What will strike the observer most in the present evils is the immense number of the working classes who suffer grievously for the senseless imprudence of their masters. The latter may imagine that they owe nothing, in weighing these matters, except to themselves. But there is a public opinion which will cry, in no uncertain tones, ‘‘Vare, legiones reddel’’ We learn that railroad corporations are attempting to save themselves from the effects of their over- reaching ambition by turning their workmen out in thousands to face a pitiless winter. Will not the magnates at some time be asked why they entered on an imprudent course which necessitated this disaster to the poor? It is, of course, necessary in this hour to encourage every movement which will bring relief. Every effort should be exhausted to prevent the disaster falling on the poor, and that can only be done by the rich helping each other. It will be cheaper in every way to do this than to have to feed the poor in hundreds of thousands after the trembling institutions have oscillated to their fall. The annual report of Treasurer Spinner comes freighted with the elaboration of a plan which has been, in some form, before the country for weeks past. His plan is to issue legal tender notes to the amount of about one hundred and fifty million dollars, to be convertible at the will of the holder into bonds bearing in- terest at the rate of a cent a day on one hundred dollars. By this means he thinks an elastic currency would be reached and ‘‘corners” prevented forever- more. But he admits a little further on that there is a possibility that even this might fail to corner the brigands of the street, and then more of the convertible legal tender notes are to be issued, at the will of the Secretary of the Treasury, in exchange for six per cent bonds. We cannot quite share the enthusiasm of Gen- eral Spinner in his belief that this is the panacea for all our financial evils. Undoubtedly, one of the great sources of present difficulty is the impossibility of getting currency, but convertible legal tender notes cannot be issued in exchange for wildcat railroad bonds, shares in great mercantile houses of cards or on the stock of banks whose officers have been largely speculating with and peculating from the deposits. We want a more rigid commercial honesty, a safer, if slower way of doing business, and money to be seen some- where when money is talked. Tue Jopiciany.—The democratic judicial ticket in this county appears to have been elected entire. It isa good thing that the popular demand for a pure judiciary induced fair nominations on both sides, so that, so far as the candidates are concerned, it mattered little which might obtain success. Perhaps on one consideration it is better that the victory should have been with the democratic Judges. The recent scandals on the Bench, for which democrats were responsible, will no doubt render the new Judges the more anxious to restore purity, fearlessness and uprightness to the Bench, from the fact that they owe their election to the democratic party, The successful candidates will carry with them to the high positions they are called upon to fill good legal abilities and unblemished personal characters, and hence we are justified in pre- dicting for them honorable judicial careers and in welcoming their election as a genuine reform. ed Toe State Sunare—From tho returns which reach us up to the hour of going to press it is known that the State Senate wil) be very nearly balanced between the two political parties. Indeed, it is not yet quite certain which side will hold tho ma- jority, although it will probably bo republican by a small vote. ‘The character of the Senate will be changed for the better. For the past two years the reputation of that branch of the Legislature hag not been good. The large republican majority which white- ¢\ washed Grebgg ond trembled before Twoed present Provisional Republic will be delayed the session will be fraught with great significance to France. The parties have measured their strength to a nicety, and, after counting the means on both sides, have concluded that neither the Right nor the Left is in condition to strike a decisive blow. Each party held a caucus yesterday, and the signs of peaceful bearing have no other interpretation than that it is not time to fight. The position of MacMahon seems the only thing assured for the present, The Left will attempt under this cir- cumstance a definitive organization of the Republic. The Right will hinder this as much as possible, so as to keep the door open for the monarchy as long as they can, The Bonapartists, hopelessly crushed out of sight by both parties in the Assembly, will turn to the people and clamor for a plébiscite. It is impossible at present to foretell what will be the upshot, but the activity of all parties should surely produce something better than the mongrel thing which at present is called the government of France. It cannot, however, be forgotten to its credit that under Thiers, and in the name if mot the perfect form of a republic, it paid off the onerous war indem- nity and gave France once more to herself. A Worthy Example for a New York Jury. A white boy was murdered, a month or so ago, by two negroes in North Cerolina, and the guilty parties have- just been convicted of murder in the first degree by a jury con- sisting entirely of colored:men. The majority of the jurors, it is alleged, can neither read nor write, and, considering the vexatious con- dition of affairs in regard to races in the South, the honest impartiality of this jury must be highly commended. The remarks of the Judge who presided at the trial were very flattering, although it may be considered as a strange state of things when it becomes necessary for a Judge to thank a jury for doing their duty. But the laudatory address in question receives peculiar significance from the allusion in it to the never to be forgotten Stokes jury. He draws a contrast between the twelve negroes, representing ‘honest ignorance,” and the jury of educated white men, representing ‘‘intelligent vice,’’ and recommends the two cases to the calm consideration of statesmen and lawmakers. It has come to a sad state of things in this city when such a comparison can be instituted in respect to the jury box. Yet, with the extraor- dinary system introduced of late years in criminal trials, by which it is almost impos- sible to prove legally a man guilty of murder as long as his purse holds out an argument against such a theory, what can New York courts of justice expect but contempt and de- rision on all sides? Awnnexation,—There is very little reason to doubt that the vote of the people of New York and Westchester county has been cast in favor of annexation. Although the returns have come in with extraordinary slowness, it is known that there was no opposition to annexation in Westchester county, and in the city there will probably be a good majority in its favor. This result will be welcomed with satisfaction. It would have been unfortunate if the efforts of the anti-progressives had suc- ceeded in defeating a measure upon which the future growth and prosperity of the metropo- lis so materially depend. Lecrrmute Repzatinc—The deposit of greenWacks for the relief of the Memphis and Shreveport sufferers at the different polling places yesterday. The police are to be com- mended for the interest they took in this mode of repeating. It is to be hoped and ex- pected that none of the greenback ballots will be counted out. ‘ ‘Tue Jopictany ConstrrurionaL AMENDMENT, which was voted on yesterday by the people of this State, as to whether the judges should be appointed or elected, ran, so far as very incomplete returns indicate, with a democratic disapproval of the appointing system. From several republican counties the returns indicate that the latter party has largely taken the elective side of the question. This does not promise much for the adoption of the appointing system at present. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Colonel E. Reinlein, of the Spanish Army, is reg- istered at the Hofman House, The Rev.

Loms Gaylord Clark, who won a high and very honorable reputation as an editor, magazine writer and literary critic, died at his residence at Piermont, on the banks of the Hudson River, om the 8d inst. He passed away from life calmly and With resignation in the sixty-tnird year of his age, A brief illness resulting from an attack of paral- ysis was the immediate cause of his demise. Louis Gaylord Ciark, twin brother of Willis Gaylord Clark, was born in 1810, at Otisco, Onondaga county, N. Y.
