We have no desire to disparage any persons only offered to vote. Tue Irattan Exections have, so far, re- sulted in a popular indorsement of the policy of the Crown. All the members of the Cabinet who have presented themselves to the people as candidates for Parliamentary honors have been returned. The extremest church- tmen abstained from voting. Cardinal Anto- nelli will take consolation in the knowledge | of this fact, and may, perhaps, allege the pe of ballot-stuffing against the friends of Victor Emmanuel. rahe From tue Anczntrxe Rervsiic we learn that the situation for war is maintained be- tween the insurrectionist forces and the loyal- ists near Buenos Ayres and in the provinces. The reports are contradictory. They are sufficiently specific, however, to assure the | world that the commerce and finance of that portion of South America are likely to be vastly deranged and depressed in consequence of the rivairies of political factions in the Confederation. Premmmr Disnaru’s Spencu at Gui~pHsLn ponstituted the most imy grand municipal demonstration which took placo in Loudon yesterday, although no doubt the banquet was, as it ever has been, vastly prized by the city dignitaries and their friends. The chief of the Cabinet appears, judging by our cable report, to have been in excellent tone-— conservative, hopeful and broadly national. The rights of the people of all classes are to be respected, while nou Il be permitied to trench on the prerogatives of the ruling classes, ‘The policy of the Crown is peaceful toward all the Powers, with, evidently, an in- | elination toward a very friendly commenion with France, ant feature of the | of our great men. We would rather cherish them as our nation’s household | gods. We have not had many in| | our hundred years of national life—Wash- ington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and Grant--Grant the last, and not the greatest. But we would disparage none’ of them. And | so our best wishes go with Grant, our best wishes that he will only do justice to himself and his four stars, os a General. Let him accept his opportunities, and we shall remem- ber that although Lee repulsed him day after day in the Wilderness he fought his way through the Wilderness at last. It would be wise also for the democratic leaders to consider these elections as a sudden outburst of anger on the part of the country toward the republican party, and not the ex- pression of a calm, definite, mfatured and de- liberate purpose, It was only the other day that Maine, always a close State politicaily, voted for the republican party. We have had elections in New Hampshire, Vermont and Connecticut, but with the exception of Mr. | Poland's defeat there were no special indica- tions of the ‘tidal wave.’’ Tho first signs | came from the West, and however much we might wish it otherwise, they came from the | sections most devoted to ‘free money” | and ‘grangerism.” Now we all know that | sudden and passionate anger does not always last and that lovers’ quarrels are gen- erally sure of reconeffiation, It will be the aim of Grant to win back some of the love which gave him the victory over Greeley, | | which surrounds his military successes, and | which recognizes that his name and fame, no matter what may befall him, are inseparable from our history. Remember that we had a | overs’ quarrel’ in 1962 between the repub- tion of the defeats and so reformed his policy by the proclamation of emancipation and the vigorous prosecution of the war upon. high and pronounced Union principles that he over- came the anger of his own party and led it cnee more to power. The victory over Grant { in 1874 is no more conclusive asa political | fact than was the victory over Lincoln in 1862. | All will depend upon the use made o:' it by the | democrats, in the first place, reaping the fruits of the triumph, and by the republicans, in the | second place, retrieving the errors which have lost them the confidence of the country. There must be lines of new departure for the democracy. ‘It is not a question of camp plunder with the leaders, buf a quostion of principle. We must have this maxim in the beginning—‘No repudiation and no seces- sion.’’ There must be no recognition of those financial heresies which come to us from the | West and of the secession aspirations which are not dead in the South. We must have the wisdom and moderation of Tilden on financial questions and the magnanimous chivalry of Gordon on secession. We must have a pronounced opinion on the third term. The democratic party, in every State where the leadefs have power over the Legislature, must pronounce tor an amendment to the constitution limiting the Executive to one term. This should be | done at once. The republicans will not op- pose it, or at best they will only make a nominal opposition. To fail in this now, and | especially atter the sentiment of the country on the issue of Cesarism, would do the party | irreparable injury. Then we must have civil | service reform, and this Mr. Tilden should | introduce into New York city. In this city the democrats have absolute and"unquestioned | power. There are more civil servants in office | under various forms of administration than im many monarchies of the Old World. The | whole business of office has been a shameful barter and sale, and the promotion of crime and ignorance for years. Let the re- fotm begin here, and let Mr. Tilden show the nation what he and his party would do with the nation by what they will do in New York. Passing from this to the South, we must have a national convention of peace and recon- struction. The time has come for the due consideration of many important questions, of readjusting the relations of the States to | the national government, of considering what shall be the true basis of credit, of regulating the relations between the State and great in- terests like the railways and of restoring the country to that republican form of govern- ment which has been so sadly shattered by | the results of tha war. These, then, ar\ tho lines of the new depar- | ture that now open to the democracy. We do not wish to rudely interrupt their natural and | long-deferred rejoicings. But, at the same | time, the victory can only becomo a victory when its fruits are gathered. The democratic | leaders have need of the utmost wisdom, mod- | eration and courage. They must commend | themselves more and more to the conservative common sense of the country. They must rise to the responsibility as well as to the exulta- tion of triumph. Nothing is easier thrown away than a victory. Jubal Early showed this in the Shenandoah. Now let our democratic leaders be wise, and not be surprised by some political Phil Sheridan ond sent ‘whirling down the valley.” The “Revolution from the Throne%=— Bismarck and Arnim. Our prompt and intelligent German corre- spondent sends us a valuable letter, which | throws light upon the contest between Prince Bismarck and Count Arnim. For some time there has been much excitement in Germany in reference to a proposed political pamphlet entitled, ‘‘& Revolution from the Throne.” This pamphlet, it was said, would contain cer- tain “revelations” of the correspondence be- tween the Prince and Arnim, showing that there had been a plot in contemplation, the details of which would make as much sensa- tion in Germany and Europe as the diffi- culty between Wolsey and Henry VIII. made in England. Tho result was that the police authorities in Germany suppressed the pamph- let, the printer, as our correspondent teHs us, having destroyed every vestige of the edition. It seems, however, that the author confided some of the proof sheets to personal friends, and from these sheets our correspondent senda | us @ translation embodying a synopsis of its arguments and disclosures. There are no ‘‘disclosures” and very little argument. The writer simply dwells upon some peculiar phases of German politics. We Continent are in such a chaotic condi- tion—German unity by no means assured and neither Austria nor Russia looking kindly upon the newly-flowered honors that cluster on the Hohenzollern crest, and the Roman Catholic Church straining its mighty energies to destroy German nationality—it will be neces- sary for the power of Germany to rest in one hand, the hand of a proud hereditary king. Then he has no honors to gain by a republic. He is a Prince, Chancellor of the German Empire, the most conspicuous statesman in Europe, the most formidable one man who has appeared since the fall of the great Napo- leon. He is the power behind the throne, and he has every interest—the interests of ambition, power, tame and security—to make him wish for the continuance of the Empire. These are the impressions we gather from reading our correspondent’s account of this much-discussed pamphlet. It is simply an ingenious speculation. The interest which it excites shows how important is @his contro- versy between Bismarck and Arnim, and what mighty issues may depend upon it. The New York Zoological Garden. The publication in yesterday's Herat has, as we anticipated, drawn attention to a matter of more than ordinary interest to the people. ‘We have had many publications in our jour- nals as to the Central Park. The glory ofa | city is its park, and nothing has been done in our city, for this generation, at least, that has given New York so much pleasure as the creation of our Park, Twenty years ago there was nothing in the city as a breathing spot or a place of recreation but the small squares here and thero, the Battery and the outlying suburbs. But the city, with its gigantic strides toward metropolitan great- ness, in time smothered, as it were, the narrow breathing places, where little spots of greenery had been rescued from the effacing fingers of a hard civilization. The suburbs could not be reached. Communication was limited. New cities and villages grew up on the outlying skirts of the great city as they clustered about London, and in the ordinary | growth of the metropolis it seemed as if a generation would pass before the city would reach its ordinary growth, and, gathering the suburbs into its fold, be like London or Paris, ; The wisdom of the last generation, inspired, as we may say with pardonable pride, by the stimulating influence of the Hzratp, founded the Central Park. The barren rocks and outlying stretches of vuninviting pasture lands were taken and beautified. In’ time there grew up o garden that recalled the beauty of the famous pleasure grounds of the Old World and bade fait to grow in beauty from year to year. And as pleas- ure and education go hand in hand the zoological garden was formed. As we gathered our experiences from the older world we re- membered that in London there was the famous garden in Regent’s Park, where the animal life of all the world seemed to cluster, from the torpid boa of Equatorial Africa to the grotesque and homely kangaroo from Australian wilds. “We remembered the Jardin d’Acclimatation of Paris, where all the domestic animals of civilization seemed to gather, andthe Jardin des Plantes, with its varied collection of every form of savage ani- mal life, We remembered the groves of Schoenbrunn, where in the gardens attached to the famous palace of Maria Louisa there was a varicd and unique collection of wild and tame animal life. Berlin, youngest of the great cities of Europe, had emulated and almost surpassed her venerable sisters, and in every city of Europe there seemed to be the utmost care that the government should give the people comfort and pleasure in the wide and gracious spaces of the noble garden forests, as well as the educational advan- tages of a noble zoological garden. But how is it in our Central Park? We have, it is true, a menagerie; but it lacks system, purpose, definite fitness. New York, of all cities in the world, would seem to invite asplendid zoological garden. All the coun- tries of the world are bronght tributary to us by the sea. We have virtually a mil- lion and a half of people clustering in the metropolis and: its confines. But we have a higgledy-pigledy haram-scarum collec- tion of animals, thrown together in uncomfort- able cages and dens, which to-morrow might break loose and carry terror into every home. There are really no educational purposes served. The holiday saunterer, tho anxious student, secs little to amuse or instruct him. We have in America a new continent— are told that Bismarck has been intriguing in Spain. This everybody knows. Spain, since the time of Charles V., has been the seat of German and English intrigues. It was in Spain that England broke the power of France under Napoleon I. If Bismarck could place a German prince on the Spanish throne or con- solidate German influence in Madrid, the effeet would be to give him a powerful ally in any war with France. Before France could make war upon Prussia it would be necessary to maintain an army on the Pyrenees, just as she must now, in the event of war, guard her frontiers from an invasion by Belgium and Italy, both of which nations are in alliance with Prussia. Consequently, while Germany would be free to throw her whole military power upon France at any time, the French could bring onlya fragment of their armies to th» rescue, This policy on the part of Ger- many is so natural and its advantages so ob- vious that we can understand the narratives wo hear of Bismarck and his alliance with | Serrano. The ‘disclosure’’ about a possible’Republic in Germany, with Prince Bismarck at the head as President, is fantastic. We can | readily understand how there might be a re- publican movement in Germany, and how it | might result in the overthrow of the Hoben- zollern dynasty and the elevation of Bismarck. Incredible as such an event now seems it is no more so than the emancipation of slavery, licans and Lincola, when Pennsylvania wee the downfall of Napoleoniam and the ovar- new and unknown—with marvellous develop- ments of animal life, living and extinct, the puzzle of sciontific men and the problem of students, and yet nothing is seen of it in New York. Nay, more; there is a manifest | danger in what we do have, a danger to the peace and wellbeing of the citizens who on every holiday throng the Park in thousands. What, then, do we want? A true zoologi- cal garden, like what is seen in the Regent's Park in London and in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Let us have an appropriation from the city, and the formation of a zoological society under the presidency of a man like Colonel Stebbins, who is at the head of the Park Commission, and who would take pride in the Park and do all in his power to encourage the growth of the garden. Colonel Stebbins is a man of vim and force, and his pride in the Park will lead him to the foundation of ® noble zoological garden. The city could give on appropriation which would meet the wishes of the people. Let it be so managed that there,’ would be none of the dangors that now threaten all who visit our own ‘‘gar- den,’’ none of the discomforts that make it a nuisance and annoyance to those who live around the Park. Let our people act in the matter andact at once. We have the enter- prise, the wealth, the publid spirit, the desire to make New York second to no city in tho world, not even in a zoological garden. There is no reason why the Cantral Park should be inferior in this respect to the noble gardens London and Paris, ; The Constitutional Amendments. There is as yet no authentic and precise statement of the vote of the State on the amendments to the State constitution. It was our wish, but hardly our expectation, that they would all be adopted. Our contemporary, the Times, had a judicious article on this sub- ject on Sunday, whose tone of sentiment we indorse, although we have yet no trustworthy information confirming or confuting its con- jectures respecting the fate of theamendments, It was the impression of our contemporary that about one-third of the amendments have been saved, and that the other two-thirds have been lost, solely in consequence of the trickery of Kelly and Morrissey and schemers of the same sort in other cities. What can be more despicably scandalous than the fact that the tate of important copstitutional amendments is put in peril by men of the social grade and intellectual calibre of John Morrissey? What competency have the men who sought to de- cide this great question to judge of it? The thirty-two wisest and most experienced men that Governor Hoffman could select from both Political parties spent many months of com scientions labor in maturing these amend- ments; two successive Legislatures have ap- proved them after full debate; a vast ma- jority of the Bar of the State, nearly all the Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade and similar associations, and a great preponder- ance of the intelligent classes of our citizens warmly recommended their adoption, and yet half a dozen selfish, tricky politicians, of the least intelligent sort, have either caused or come near causing the rejection of a great part of the work which the best intelligence of the State deliberately and earnestly recommended. The method by which this was sought to be accomplished is very simple. It is the | habit of citizens to get their ballots from the booths of their respective parties, erected on the streets near the polls. The Tammany tricksters supplied a ticket indorsed ‘‘Con- stitutional amendments,” but the voters did not open it, and for aught they knew at the time they were voting for them all, when in fact two-thirds of the amendments were can- celled on the ticket which the sharpers sup- plied. They indorsed a few of the amend- ments asa means of more surely seducing democratic voters into defeating the rest. Nothing can deserve more indignant denunci- ation than such methods of practising on the simplicity of unsuspecting citizens and en- trapping them into rejecting measures which their own judgment approves. It is as ras- cally and as intamous as any other means of tampering with the elective franchise. Among the amendments defeated or in doubt are those relating to bribery in elec- tions and the Legislature, those forbidding aid by local governments to railroads or other corporations, and those extending the | term and changing the powers of the Governor. The very best amendment in the whole set, that authorizing the | Governor to veto objectionable items in an appropriation bill without defeating the whole | bill, is said to be in doubt. The amendment restraining the power of the Legislature to pass private, local and special bills—an excellent amendment it is—is said to be saved. When reliable returns are received we may recur to this subject, but meanwhile we sin- cerely join in the Times’ reprobation of the methods taken by the Tammany chiefs for defeating o great part of the amendments. We wisn Mr. Tilden’s spokesmen would in- form us whether he was an advising and ac- tive, or only a consenting and passive accom- plice in thwarting the wishes of a majority of the most enlightened men in the State. Justice to Pennsylvania. ‘When, the other night, the Manhattan Club, in its fresh joy, telegraphed congratulations and invitations all over the country, there was a strange forgetfulness of a next-door neigh- bor, Pennsylvania. “No word of cheer or gratitude went thither. And yet in the Keystone State a fight has been fought and a victory won the like of which our present politics, with all their anomalies, has not seen. | It is the Henaxp's pleasant duty to repair this neglect and to try to do justice to Pennsyl- | vania. One thing, however, must be Admit- ted, not only that there was relatively a great | indifference as to the position our neighbor might choose to assume, but a clear | conviction that thera were nine chances to one she would decide wrongly. ‘Nobody dreamed of what has happened. Yet that is no reason, now that the truth is ascertained, | why we should withhold our sympathy or suppress our rejoicings. The Pennsylvania | opposition,” for so we prefer to describe it, | deserves infinite praise for the brave and emi- | nently judicious manner in which the canvass | was conducted. ‘There was no mistake. There was @ dexterous use of the advantages pre- | sented, and a skilfal shunning of the dangers, | like ugly rocks above the surface of the sea, | which were apparent. It was, too, a self- | reliant canvass. There was no leaning, as of yore, on New York. There was no preliminary October election to cheer or to depress, It was a square fight, and the right has won. Tho odds against success were tremendous. If ever there was a community manacled and ring-bound it was Pennsylvania; for, not only, as here, was there a city ring, but rings existed all over the Commonwealth—at Pitts- burg and Harrisburg just as much as in Philadelphia. The State administration was intensely radical, as was that of the capital. The inert power of fanaticism, which will survive in a torpid community like Philadel- phia long after it has died out everywhere else, is still of great efficacy. The long pos- session of supremacy—at least fourteen years—gave to the republican party a venerable air that was not without | its influence. The press was thoroughly | subsidized, and when an editor was disposed to be mutinous he was sent into comfortable exile abroad. All the machinery, so far as it went, worked smoothly and well, and it is easy to see why the outer world anticipated defeat rather than victory. On the other hand, there were latent rather than patent reasons for success, Although the maw of | Pennsylvania for protective duties had been filled to satiety, a wretched, depreciated cur- rency had done its work of consternation, and, with the utter extinction of Southern business relations—for the South shrank from Pennsylvania—labor was unremunerative, and mines and forges and factories besan in vast numbers to be abandoned. Such distress always helps an opposition. Then, too, a vicious economical policy had fatally stricken the great railway corporation which bestrides Pennsylvania and compelled it, if it wanted to pay ten per cent or any per cent dividends, to mind its own business and put ite house in order. Tom Scott had to abdi- cate his position ns manipulator of elections and master of the Legislature. Democracy had no longer this adversary to encounter. Just at this crisis, too, the Cameronian intel- lect became disturbed, and at a moment when, if ever, harmony of, all the elements of re publicanism wag needed, the dominant junta at Harrisburg took it into its head to quarrel with the President and, in a paltry fashion, to denounce his pet Cesaric dogma. Federal patronage at once ceased to be an active agent, and there was no longer the tramp of federal soldiers iu the streets of Philadelphia or the contribu. tions of the Custom House for the elections. Such being the premises, the conclusion, though surprising, was logical enough, and Pennsylvania takes her proper position in the array of victorious reform. The success of the State ticket, a majority of the members of Congress, and, above all, a majority on joint ballot to elect a Senator are the results, To the last the general public will look with in tense interest and anxicty to know whethes Pennsylvania will abandon her traditionary habits. Drraraenu, in this city, appears to be as. suming something of the character of a viru lent epidemic: Our citizens, therefore, should be very careful in their precautions against it, and our health authorities cannot better serve the community at this time than in active and earnest researches into the causes of and the needful remedies against the disease. Its development into its present magnitade here, in the midst of the most beautiful and gen erally the most salubrious autumnal seasos we have enjoyed for many years, is certainly very strange and remarkable. Coury Nor Beuzeve 1x It.—The Catholia priest, Father Gudemann, who the other day mysteriously disappeared from Philadelphia, has been heard from. Bishop Wood, as ii appears, has received a letter from the fugi tive stating that he has left the Catholi« Church because he could not believe in the infallibility of the Pope, and he further says that “by the time you read this you will know all about me, and, therefore, I have no need to make an explanation.’’ In his case, at least, the dogma of infallibility will not apply; but the plea that he cannot be lieve in the dogma will hardly avail him ina court of justice if they catch him. Senator Canpenter, President pro tem. of the Senate, has saved himself in saving Wis consin from the general revolution. PER:ONAL INTELLIGENCE.

Count Von Arnim’s portrait was to have bee published with a biographical noce in the Almanack of Gotha for 1875, but since his arrest the copies prepared have been suppressed. The Vie Parisienne notices the effect at the Italian opera in Paris of some beautiful new styles of jewelry, whole setsjn sapphires, rubies or eme- ralds, One in sapphires was made in the form of @ garland with leaves and flowers. It 1s reported in the Lonaon 7imes that in Alsace the people are compelled to give their children names found in the German calendar. Names tbat are in French but not in the German calendar are refused registration by the authorities, The report that the editor of the Republic says that paper will support Grant for the turd term “when the proper time arrives’! may very likely be true; but it gives the editor a good margin, as ¥ no, of course, is to be the judge as to what time is “proper” for such a course. M. Hainguriot left 600,000 francs to the city of Parts, and the city refuses to accept it. He pro- posed that a “raliroad school” should be sounded with the money, but Paris discovers that the sum is insumMictent for the purpose. The heirs of the defunct are perhaps not sorry. It was reported that the Pope nad made the Bishop of Nantes a Count of the Holy Roman Em pire, whereupon a correspondent writes to the Pall Mau Gazette that that title expired with the Holy Roman Empire—that is, the German Em pire—and that “there no longer exists any powe which can confer tt.” Faure and the Paris manager, Halanzier, navi made up their diMculty, and Faure remains, Re conciliation was brought about by the interces sion of M. Legonol, Ambroise Thomas and Camilli Doucet, In the note announcing this result the manager appears to admit that he had no right ta increase the prices as he did, and he promises not to do it again. Yon Arnim’s case proves to turn in some degree On @ point of divnity. He wouid have giver ap the papers if the Foreign OMce would recognize that they are private documents and request bim tu deposit them in the Archives; but the Forelun OMce declares them public and demands ther surrender. He wishes this point settied by the courts as a question of right, and not by the Prime Minister.
