See sen TRIPLE NRW YORK, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. Owing to the action of a portion of the carriers and newsmen, who are determined that the public spall not have the Hrnavp at three cents per copy if they cap prevent it, we have made arrangements to place tho Hexatp in the bands of all our readers at the reduced price. Newsboys can purchase any quantity they may desire at No, 1,265 Broadway and No. 2 Ann street, From our reports this morning the ate cooler ities are that the weather to-day will and cloudy, possibly with rain, Goop republicans regard the returns as “more fell than anguish, hunger or the sea. Ir Is Nor customary to credit the govern- ment with generosity, but did it keep the Franklin away from apprehension that 'Tweed's arrival might have an unfair influ- ence on the votes of the people? If it did | the consciousness of a great sacrifice made to good motives is doubtless pleasant to it. In fact, virtue is its own reward. Cartes Francis Apams runs behind his ticket in Boston by an important figure, which seems to indicate that his nomination did not attract to the democracy any non- democratic votes, and that he was opposed by the Fenians, despite John Kelly giving him a good “character.” This is a deci- sive evidence of the error, in a party sense, | of this kind of nomination. It is fatal fora party to put on its ticket better men than | its voters will accept. And Charles Francis Adams was not electe: Lyixe rm State.—Such gorgeous mortuary honors as the Church of Rome alone knows how to pay to its distinguished dead are lay- ished on the remains of the great Secretary, Cardinal Antonelli. Of these honors our special despatches from the Italian capital give an interesting description. Well may the venerable Pope say masses for the soul of Antonelli; imhim he lost a beloved friend as well as a faithful servant and astute coun- sellor. Cardinal Franchi is mentioned as the successor of the great Cardinal, ttn Tae Next Hovss or Represenratives will be democratic by a majority not so large as that at present, but more than sufficient for all practical purposes. The Southern States have sent almost solid democratic delegations, and in New England and the West the republicans have not re- covered their losses of two years ago, In many districts the result is doubtful from our present advices, but the most important fact is beyond doubt, and that is the cer- tainty of s democratic majority. Sovrm Canoxmma.—Our despatches show that an attempt to use the troops by some of the United States marshals was reso- lutely met and relinquished in time to wave trouble, If the estimates given shall prove correct as to Hampton’s majority Governor Chamberlain may be wrapped in the bloody shirt and laid away. This may prove that the presence of United States troops is not inconsistent with democratic majorities in the States occupied by the troops, while such occupation probably in- | yoreases those majorities in other States. And \Governor Obamberlain was not elected. | NEW YORK HERALD, WiS)NESDAY, } The Election—Incomplete Returns. At the hour at which it is necessary for us to goto press the election returns are still so meagre and inconclusive that the result is undecided. New York has gone demo- cratic; Pennsylvania seems to be unex- pectedly close, but is probably repub- lican by a small majority; Indiana | seems to be democratic by a majority somewhat larger than that cast in October. New Jersey is democratic by a slender majority. Connecticut is still uncertain. In fact, everything is uncertain atthe hour we go to press. In our later editions we shall give fuller returns, and hope to get such complete news as willshow who is elected President. As we go to press this question is nearly as much a mystery as it was on Tuesday morning. Tweed's confession ? Politics of the Religious Press. Before the next issues of our religious con- temporaries appear the people of the United States have voted for their choice of na tional, State and local officials, and the re- sult will be very generally known. The re- ligious press, therefore, gave advice in its latest issues how its patrons should vote. The Christian Union said four questions are to be decided by the votes of yesterday— the personal, the financial, the administra- tive and the Southern question. On the personal it thinks the times do not demand so skilled a politician as Mr. Tilden is so much as a citizen of experience in public affairs, such as Mr, Hayes is, at the head of the government, Mr. Tilden and his party re- pudiate resumption of specie payments, and Mr. Hayes and the republicans repudiate repudiation and propose to resume at the date fixed by the recent act of Congress. On the administration and eivil service reform question the Union believed neither candidate can achieve it. The roots of present corrup- tion are in the House of Representa- tives; and the only way to effect the reform needed would have been to send such men as Judge Hoar to Congress instead of the Ben Butlers. On the Southern ques- tion the policy of the democratic party, says our contemporary, is non-intervention ; the policy of the republicans is protection. The Union, therefore, concluded that the country would be better served by Governor Hayes than by Governor Tilden. The Evangelist, too, gave its readers some thoughts for the election, to wit:—First, that we have country, which is the mother of us all, and in whose welfare we are all alike interested; second, that our freedom and our political rights which we were about to exercise have been bought with a price, even the blood of our fathers, and if we have not done our duty heretofore the time to take a new departure and strike the keynote of duty to the country for a hundred years to come had arrived. Civil government is a divine institution, and if we were more impressed with its sacredness we should be more care- ful in our duties to it. We ought to put far out of our politics, said the Evangelist, the vicious maxim that public office is a reward, and restore the sounder doctrine of the fathers that it is a trust to be executed with the utmost fidelity. And hence it comes to pass that character, both as regards honesty and ability, is the chief factor which should be considered in those whom we would ele- vate to office. The Zublet believed the passing crisis is the most important since the Re- public asserted her independence of the old country. What is at stake is whether the constitution of the Union shall be main- tained or collapse in ignominy under a combination of fraud and violence. It ex- pressed the sincere desire and earnest wish that for every position, and pre-eminently for the most exalted, the men most likely to contribute to the solid welfare of the country may be selected, whether democrat or re- publican, Catholic or Protestant, or aught else, so long as they do not present them- selves branded with the mean and unmanly stigma of secrecy. On the local question the Now, THEN, where Tablet gave its hearty support to Mr. Ely | for Mayor of this city. The Baptist Weekly believed that by far the larger part of our people who are marked by intelligence and evangelical religion were undoubtedly for Hayes and Wheeler. And it thought that the safeguards which have been placed around | the freedmen of the South should be main- tained inviolate, and that men who whelmed the nation in blood for the perpetuation of human bondage should not be intrusted with power, which all the past proves would be used to repress the “rising race.” The constitutional intrenchment of our common school system from the possibility of Roman interference is also un issue which ought not to be forgotten, and this and the finan- cial question, in the Weekly's opinion, made the election of the republican candi- dates anecessity. The Christian at Work very emphatically called its readers’ at- tention to the duty of voting, and trans- ferred the case to Church matters. Sup- pose, it said, the churches were left to the manipulations of schemers who should geek to get im and govern for selfish and worldly purposes—what would become of them? Suppose, too, our best citi- zens were to hold themselves wholly aloof from public affairs and turn over our vil- lages and cities to the scamps who trade in polities and buy and sell votes as they would potatoes—how long before bankruptcy and ruin would sweep over the country like a besom of destruction ? The Observer thought that in the past campaign it was a ques- tion of men and not of principles that was to be decided, and they who have the best character for honesty, ability and fidelity as statesmen were to be preferred. It regretted, however, that good men have abandoned politics to the vicious, but its trust was in God, in whose hands aré the destinies of nations. He putteth down one and setteth up apother. And we do and will rejoice that, whoever is President, the Lord God is King over all, and in His hands all is safe. The Methodist exhorted every good man to yote and to vote his convictions, to bow to the will of the majority, to persuade other men to vote, but to respect their personal responsibility. But the half was not done on yesterday. We have said who is to gov- | J ern, but public opition must afterward say how they shall govern. Rifling the Treasury. It 1s not surprising that the credit of our country should suffer in the estimation of foreign peoples when each succeeding day brings with it the development of a new phase of petty rascality among the most trusted of our public officials at Washington. The valuable time of the national legislature, instead of being devoted to the framing and consideration of laws calculated to advance the interests of the country and to strengthen the bonds which unite usas a people, has been consumed by investigations which only serve to show to what a deplorable depth of moral degradation an official can fall when he ceases to regard his office as other than merely affording an opportunity for personai aggrandizement at the expense of every principle of honor and patriotism. General Dent held « position of trust under the President second only in point of responsi- bility to that of a Cabinet officer, His duty was to guard the good name of General Grant by a strict adherence to the standard of official purity that all honest men regard as governing their relations with their coun- try and their fellow men. His eonduct asa member of the President's household was supposed to reflect the morale of that estab- lishment, and give confidence to the people that, notwithstanding the asperities of politics, which are believed to be only the outgrowth of conflicting political opinions, the private reputations of prominent public servants were stainless and above reproach. But, unfortunately, such has not been the case with General Dent, and he figures to-day before the country in the un- enviable character of a bribe taker and a venal trafficker in one of the most important interests of the nation. We present on an- other page of to-day’s Hzsaup a statement of facts bearing on General Dent's attempts to manipulate, for his personal profit, the manufacture of government arms, and also an exposure of the intricate combinations that have been directed toward securing for unscrupulous speculators the control of the large appropriations made by Congress for such a purpose. The art of squeezing profits out of the purchase of government supplies has been studiously cultivated by s namber of officials already amply remunerated for their services, but who prostitute their po- sitions in the cause of dishonesty and are at the same time the corrupters and the cor- rupted. The evidence furnished in the Henatp is ample to convict these men of disreputable practices, and we hope that a searching investigation will be instituted on the reassembling of Congress, which will un- mask every one of these violators of law and decency. All good citizens should unite in the effort to purge our governmental depart- ments of the foul stains left therein by these venal rogues, The reputation of the country demands it. Genenat Burize.—It has often been said that nowhere are parties so hidebound as in Massachusetts. The reported election of General Butler would seem to prove that a majority of the people in his district vote for the “regular” republican nominee, no mat- ter who he is or who is opposed to him. Old Massachusetts has not been fortunate in her representatives in either house of Congress for many years. The re- publican party has been too powerful there for its own good. It has fallen under the control of its worst members, just as the democratic party in this city was-long under the control of Tammany. They need in Massachusetts a vigorous independent press to encourage men to bolt their tickets and vote only for good men. Tae Waaturr.—Our predictions of elec- tion weather for the thirty-eight States of the Union, printed in the Hzraxp of yester- day, have proved correct in thirty-two instances and partly correct in the remain- ing six. This result is extremely satis- factory, as we anticipated all similar announcements by many hours and did not have the benefit of the early morning weather observations of the Signal Service Department. The rain storm which deluged such a-large extent of terri- tory yesterday was central over the lake region in the forenoon, and made but little progress eastward during the day. It em- braced all the country between Lake Michi- gan and the Atlantic, and extended southward as far as South Carolina on the coast line. The Southwest- ern, Western and Northwestern States were favored with generally clear but coo} or cold weather. Another depres- sion is now showing itself in the far North- west, bat will not influence a large area of that country south of the national boundary for some days, if at all. The stesdy rainfall in New York should help us considerably in augmenting the Croton water supply, as nearly two inches of rain have fallen here since the storm commenced. The weather in New York to-day will be cloudy and cooler, possibly with rain. Exxcrton Dar Huns.—The day was gloomy and rainy in the city and all the country about. The vote everywhere was very full, and the voters turned out early, in spite of the disagreeable weather. The city was very quiet and down town was deserted, the stores and shops being universally closed. In the evening dense crowds thronged the streets around the newspaper offices and hailed with cheers the scattering news put out on the bulletins. The headquarters of the two parties, in the Fifth Avenue Hotel and Everett House, were crowded with anxious inquirers, and at the clubs also de- spatches were eagerly read and discussed. It is many years since an election has created such intense exeitement, The crowds about the Hzriip and other news- offices remained patiently waiting paper }and bruyantly cheering until a very late hour, and as they were composed of mem- bers of both parties all the news was received with applause, The imperturbable good nature of the crowds, standing patiently un- der their umbrellas, was a pleasant feature, Tun Excrremexr is not yet over, for now comes the question of the Cabinet. Ina day or two speculation will be intense, and until next Mareh the President elect will be listen- ing with patience to the counsel of the party which elected him, NOVEMBER 8, 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. The Election in New York City. It is creditable to the metropolis of the United States that in this exceptionally ex- citing election it should have deposited 172,703 ballots with hardly any disturbance, That several hundred men accused of re- peating were arrested is true, and, perhaps, there were a few fights around the polls, but in other respects both the campaign and the election have been singu- larly free from violence. The passions of both republicans and democrats were fanned to the utmost fierceness, but they were under the control of the common sense of the people, The effect of Mr. Tilden's organiza- tion of the party and that of the withdrawal of the anti-Tammany candidates was seen in the splendid majority of 51,465 for the democratic Presidential candidate. The total registration in the city was 183,958, and the total vote was 172,703, a difference of 11,255. These eleven thousand regis- tered yoters, who were disqualified or neglected to vote, could not have affected the result even had their ballots been deposited. New York was cer- tain to give Tilden at least fifty thousand majority. But no matter how the vote was delivered we are proud to say that New York yesterday vindicated her reputation for order and tranquillity. The election here reminds us of the explosion at Hell Gate. It was dreaded by every one, bot when the event occurred it was only a momentary upheaval of the waves, a subsidence of the water, and then peace. With the success of the Presidential ticket of course comes an overwhelming vote in favor of Mr. Smith Ely and all of the regular democratic candidates in the city. Tae Monat or tHe Execrion.—Many a thoughtful American looked out of his win- dow yesterday and saw the falling rain, the dreary sky, and reflected upon the greatness of the event to be decided before the day wasended. After a hundred years of the Union the American people were forced to decide their future. All the past was entangled in the vote, as the “branches of an oak tree obey the strength of its far reaching roots, The rain fell slowly and steadily, and like its drops all over the country, from North to South, East to West, ocean to ocean, the ballots of the people fell into the countless polls, It was a sublime thought that within 8 few short hours the representatives of more than forty millions of American people were deciding the future of their gov- ernment. Drop by drop fell the rain, vote by vote fell the ballots, and as the shower from the skies fertilizes the ground so may the millions of ballots polled yesterday strengthen the Union. Never before in the history of the world was such an important question more peaceably decided. It wasa triumph of republican principles. Sourn Carotra.—In spite of troops and arrests South Carolina seems to have chosen Hampton. We congratulate the people of the State, and particularly the colored voters. They have shown good sense, and they will now have peace and order, low taxes and good will. So far as we hear at the hour of going to press the election has been entirely peaceful, and on this important result we also congratulate the people of the State of both colors, General Hampton has solemnly promised on every stump in the State that, if elected Governor, he would make the colored people secure in all their rights. He cannot afford to do less, and he bas power and influence enough to enable him to keep his promise. We hope that a new era of prosperity begins in South Carolina with this election. Pzrzn Coorzz.—Returns from 119 districts in Brooklyn give Peter Cooper thirteen votes ; and in this city he comes out with the solid vote of 252 resolute supporters. This shows that the paper money canvass has a great future before it. Its chanves are all in the future. Its glorious successes ate there. Its magnificent triumphs are nowhere else. Peter has his principles, his organization, his speeches, all in a nice state of prepara- tion. All he wants now is a few more voters ; and a man so ingenious, so fertile in inven- tion, cannot fail to secure these. Mr. Cooper once invented a plan for sending people to and fro between this city and Brooklyn by means of a dram. Ifhe would now brush the dust off that useful instrument and use it to drum up voters, there is no knowing what ‘‘the sweet by and by” might not do for him. It is yet possible, as he has plenty of time, that his bait of illimitable printed dollars may take that great carp the Presidency. Tus Eytry or tus Torxisa Fiuer into the Black Sea, to be followed by the fortifi- cation of the coastat Sinope and Trebizond, shows that the Porte, does not regard the armistice with very great hopefulness as leading to permanent peace. This is at least prudent. Russia cannot object to the entry of Turkish vessels into the Euxine when she herself has already torn up the neutrality clause of the Treaty of Paris. It may put Turkey in a better condition to meet the onslaught of Russia if a war with the Northern Power is inevitable, but at the same time it is a decided step toward pro- voking such a conflict. The tender of ten thousand breech-loaders to the Servian mili- tia by the Grand Duke Michael Constantine is another significant feature of the armis- tice, and far from a promising one. It looks as though the great war had only been post- poned. Gunanat Dix is evidently not elected Mayor of the city. This will scarcely sur- prise him, and, as he isa publio spirited citi- zen, we believe he will rejoice that the city is to have a really good chief magistrate in the person of his opponent. In this result the General will find many sources of satis- faction, not the least one of which is that he will have ample leisure for more pleasurable pursuits than politics. Mr. Green has been nominated for the next term by delegations from eighteen different societies. And Gen- |, eral Dix was not elected. No Tran Wave.—There is evidently no tidal “wave. Both parties have brought out their full yote and the independent voter has decided the re- \ small that it is now certain there will be but # slight majority in the new House of Repre- sentatives—not big enough for party non- sense—and therefore undoubtedly beneficial to the country. Those who expected sweep- ing majorities were evidently mistaken. There is no tidal wave. The Prebable Result im the State. The result in the State is probably favor- able to Governor Tilden on the electoral and Lucius Robinson on the State ticket, although it cannot yet be decidedly announced that New York casts her vote for the democracy. The majority for Grant in 1872, with which the returns of this year are compared, was fifty-three thousand in round numbers, and from this New York and Kings county together strike off about thirty- eight thousand, leaving fifteen thousand to be overcome by the rest of the State. There is a steady democratic increase in the towns and wards of the State, amounting in about one-third of their whole number to nine thousand. The same ratio of increase in the remaining towns and wards, exclusive of New York and Kings, would give the democrats a majority of twelve thousand, and this may probably be about the figure reached. But this result depends upon the continuance of the demo- cratic increase, and hence cannot be pro- nounced as certain. At the same time the democracy may by this time feel tolerably well satisfied that its candidate will receive the thirty-five electoral votes of the Empire State, b Ir Dozs Nor Seem that troops were needed in the South. With the exception of a few slight disturbances, hardly worth chron- icling, the whole South voted as quietly and fairly as the North.
