Triumph of the Republicans in France=What Nextt Enough is known of the result of the elections in France to indicate that the country was not intimidated by the menaces of MacMahon’s defiant manifesto. It has returned a Chamber in which there will certainly be a great republican major- ity. Precisely what the majority will be it would not yet be safe to declare ; for many districts, as we are already informed, are in dispute, and disputes will also certainly arise with regard to many more that are now set down positively for one side or the other, All the returns that have been given to the world with such uncommon promptitude in this election have been accu- mulated at Paris by the party organization of the republicans on one side and the efforts of the Ministry‘on the other, and as a natural consequence the statement of re- sults is partially inferential. It is very probable that the statement of the ‘‘conser- vative” gains over those of the last Chamber is of this nature. It is strange, jn fact, that the government claims are not greater, and that they are not is in some degree an indi- cation that it has been surprised and demor- alized by the sweep of the popular will. Many of the seats it now claims will melt away when it attempts to grasp them ; for we believe that every change made, as more precise knowledge of the figures is obtained, will be a change in favor of the republi- cans, Another fact will trouble the govern- ment as a result of the success actually scored against it, which is that many candi- dates returned with the sanction and sup- port of the Ministry will abandon that allegiance upon the discovery that the voice of the country is against those with whom they were in sympathy. Except the small number of representatives who are bigoted opponents of republicanism politicians in France as well as in all other countries are agile in ranging themselves on the triumph- ant side. But with three hundred and twenty-five re- publicans and less than two hundred of all other parties the case is bad enough for the Marshal, It would be a very poor point on which to indulge any vainglorious clamor to say that the three hundred and sixty-three were reduced by thirty-eight votes, when indeed that number was part of a majority against the government of one hundred and ninety-three, It is true the number of republicans returned includes those of all stripes and hues, from the very moderate to the very extreme. There are those who would desire that ‘the red pestilence” might ‘strike all trades in Rome,” and who would goto some lengths to further that re- sult; and those whose republicanism is of the moderate type that contemplates the constitutional monarchy as itself the best republic. Between these extremes there is little sympathy; indeed, in the absence of the great main issue of the defence of the Republic against a clerico-imperial usurpa- tion, there might be war between these fac- tions. On the other hand, the ‘‘conserva- tives,” so-called, or representatives opposed to the Republic, are far more profoundly divided. They are for Henry V., for the Count de Paris, for the . Prince Imperial and forthe Pope. The only pas- sion they have in common is a hatred of popular institutions; and this will hold them together effectively enough to fight the republicans, But if they should in any contingeticy be called upon to aban- don this negative ground and endeavor to agree upon any common constructive policy it would then appear that the hatred they have for the Republic is a mild im- pulse by comparison with the hatred that each of these factions has for the passions and purppses of the others. Imperialists stand by the Marshal solely because they believe he will restore the Empire or can be used to that end. Legitimists and Orlean- ists hope in him, each one in the faith that he is only keeping the ptace of power warm for their respective pretenders, and the “drum ecclesiastic” is beaten in his name in the wild aspiration that French armies may yet be led to the restoration of the temporal power of the Pope in Rome. The government can hardly stir a foot or raise a hand without exciting the jealousy of,some one of the factions, and if it moves a hair's breadth to serve any one it offends all the others. Therefore the divisions, of the re- publicans, though they might in some cir- cumstances render helpless a great apparent majority, are so insignificant by compari- son with the divisions of the other side, and so much less likely to come up on every occasion, that they leave this party in prac- tical possession of absolute power in the Chamber. What will the government do in view of this defeat unqualified by any satisfactory salve to its hope or its ariogaut pride? In the simple view of the principles of consti- tutional government that is clear enough. An issue arose between the Executive and the representative body, and the Executive held that his own view was more nearly in accordance with the will of the country. It is possible, certainly, that party passion may drift a Chamber away from a proper relation with the opinions of the constituencies, and, therefore, the constitution gave the Executive the. right of appeal to the country direct by the dissolution of | the Chamber. He exercised that right, and the country has responded and has decided against him, If there were in power a wise Executive that would be the rometers are north of Lake Superior, in Eastern ‘Texas, and between the Rocky Mountains aud the Pacific coast over Oregon and Idaho. The rain areas attending the depressions extend through and unite in the Mississippi Valley, but the pre- cipitation is as yet light. Heavy rain has fallen in the Southwest. We predicted the formation of this Texas depression muny days ago. Its progress of development is slow, The northern depression is moving across the region north- ward ‘of the lakes and Canada, but it will probably descend into the New England Stater as it approaches the Atlantic coast. ‘The winds are now very va- riable in the Mississippi Valley on account of the peculiar distribution of pressures, ‘They are southeasterly on the Middle Atlantic and northeasterly on the South Atlantic coast; easterly on the Gulf coast and northerly west of the Missouri. The weather in New York and its vicinity to-day will be warm and fair or partly cloudy, followed by slowly increasing elaudincade EEE OOOO OOO EEE So tO nizing that he was subject to the will of a free people, dnd must act on that will, and | not endeavor to substitute the suggestions of his own arrogance, Indced, if Marshal | MacMahon were left to himself to decide his iuture conduct trom this point we | believe he would accept the will of the country and perceive that it is not an indignity for any individual | to relinquish his own idea when the votes of an cnormous majority of the people have | determined against it. But he 1s sur- | rounded by men who will put.apon the re- sult interpretations that must present in | the most offensive form this pitiful point of dignity, and by that means they may urge the Executive to a further prosecution of their policy of agitation. It is untortn- nate in this respect that the form in which the republican victory will be made effective | irritating, for the first formal act of the Chamber alter organization will be a vote of want of confidence in the Ministry. That will present squarely to the Executive the issue between him and the Chamber, and will pose the alternative of accepting a re- publican Ministry or defying the nation. It will be difficult, in view of what has passed, for the Marshal to accept a republi- can Ministry. That will be to ‘se soumet- tre’—a thing which he has declared before- hand he will not do. But, rightly consid- ered, it will prove far more difficult*to take the other alternative. ‘That way madness lies,” for aman must be mad indeed who at this day and in view of the experience of French history ventures to make war in de- fence of his own fancies against the declared will of that resolute nation. If the Marshal again dissolves the Chamber—as he has threatened—how can it profit him? Hoe has then only to expect a repetition of these elections—a repetition perhaps more emphatic of the decision against im, and only to hope that the irritation such a step would produce in the country might lead to events that he could seize upon asa pretext for using the army against the nation, with the chance that the army might fail him, and that the Germans would take an over deep interest in such a use of troops, considering the relations of all this agitation to the position of Rome. It is certainly to be hoped that the Ministry may be wisely inclined to put upon the vote an interpretation that may make it acceptable, Organization of Congress. The proceedings yesterday went smoothly enough, and even if there had been a hitch it would have amounted to nothing. There are some disputed seats, both in the House and the Senate; but no intelligent judge supposes that any possible decision in these cases will alter the political complexion of either house. The republicans for the next two years will have undoubted control of the Senate, and the democrats undoubted control of the House, let the disputed seats be awarded as they may. The republican majority in the Senate is, indeed, so slender that the absence of a few republican Senators would leave their party opponeats in control; but there is no like- lihood that advantage would be taken of such an accident. In the action of that body on President Hayes’ nomi- nations it will make no _ difference whether there is o full attendance on any particular occasion or not. The democratic Senators will vote for the confirmation of all fairly good nominces of the President, and will be too glad of an opportunity to insure their success against republican op- position, So long as President Hayes ad- heres to his civil service order his political oppongnts will protect him from hu- miliation by his own party. As often as he sends in a_ tolerably good nomination which would displace an officer whose term has not expired the democrats will vote to confirm it, both asa means of annoying the anti-administration republicans and of asserting the power of the democratic minority. There is likely to come up in the Senate to-day a question which will test the strength of the President in that body. There will be a fight over the admission of Mr. Spofford, the democratic Senator elect from Louisiana, and if Mr. Matthews and the other strenu- ous supporters of the President display rea- sonable tact and vigor they may achievea great victory. But, as our special Washing- ton correspondent suggests, they must boldly take the lead and compel the demo- cratic Senators to follow in their wake. If they. are alert and adroit enough they can easily force the democratic Senators to accept their initiative. It, without waiting for democratic action, they ‘‘take time by thé forelock” and insist on the title of Mr. Spofford to his seat, they will deprive the democratic Senators of the credit of leading and put them in the position of following, making Spofford’s admission a victory for the President instead ofa victory for the democratic party. As the seat will probably be awarded to Mr. Spofford in any event, the President and his republican supporters may as well have the credit of it. It is entirely in the line of the President’s Southern policy, and no republican indorser of that policy should hesitate to accept its logical consequences. The action of the Senate on’ the contested seats will be watched with lively interest. ‘The remaining steps for completing the organization of the House are of little con- sequence, except to aspirants for places on the committees. The expected appointment of Mr. Fernando Wood to the chairmanship of the Committee on Ways and Means will give general satisfaction in this city, anda new chairman of the Judiciary Committee in place of Proctor Knott will be universally accepted os a proof of the good judgment and sonnd discretion of Speaker Randall. As Mr. Randall will leave the greater part of the committees of the last House unchanged, so far as their members have been re-elected, the organiza- tion of the House need consume but little time. The Speaker's excellent and em- phatie speech yesterday puts a pretty effectual extinguisher on the hopes of the subsidy mongers, so far as his action is con. cerned. 7 Political Blackmail, Police Commissioner Erhardt’s rebuke of end of the issue, He would submit, recog-\ Tammany’s attempt to extort money from the employés of the police and other city departments as an election fund for the Tammany candidates is timely and only de- servedly severe, This blackmailing of office-holders by political parties is, as the Commissioner says, a ‘‘vicious practice,” belonging to the days when “knaves and scoundrels found it easy to overcome the good votes of good men by fraud and wrong.” The Fire Commissioners had al- ready put the stamp of their condemnation on the old scheme of raising funds by for bidding the payment of political assessment to any political party or the subscription of money for political purposes by any em- ployé of that department under penalty of removal, Mr. Erhardt stands alone at present in the Police Board in his protest aguinst the attempted Tammany assess« ment, and the people will look with General Smith, Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Nich- ols—on the subject. The heads of every de- partment of the city government ought to follow the example of the Fire‘Commission- ers and protect their employés against the attempted extortion by action similar to that taken by those Commissioners, By what right does Tammany make this call for money on the employés of the city government? Their salaries are paid, not by Tammany, but by the people. If they render full and honest services for the pay they receive why should any of it be ex- torted from them as a forced political as- sessment? What claim has Tammany on any portion of their salaries, unless, indeed, that. organization insists that it gives away the public offices to whomsoever it pleases and that every city employé is in its ser- vice and not in the service of the city. Another Score for Rapid Transit. One of the most important of the many injunctions against the Gilbert Elevated Railway was that. obtained from Judge Sedgwick by the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company, restraining the Gilbert Company from constructing their road on Sixth ave- nue, on the ground that the Rapid Transit act of 1875 was unconstitutional. This in- junction was made perpetual by Judge Sedgwick after trial, and although the ap- plication was based on the ground of injury to the property owners as well as of the un- constitutionality of the act, the judgment was rendered solely on the theory of such unconstitutionality. An appeal from Judge Sedgwick’s decision was taken by the Gil- bert Company to the General Term of the Supreme Court and is still pending. Mean- while the Court of Appeals, in another suit, has decided that the Rapid Transit act of 1875 is constitutional, and this sweeps away the main ground on which Judge Sedg- wick’s judgment in the Sixth avenue case rests. The Gilbert Company, subsequently to the Court of Appeals decision, applied ‘to Judge Van Vorst for a stay of proceed- ings upon the judgment rendered by Judge Sedgwick, and the stay was yesterday granted. This suspends the operation of the perpetual injunction until the appeal shall have been argued and decided by the General Term of the Supreme Court, which will probably be next month, and enables the Gilbert Company to proceed with the construction of the elevated road except in spots where temporary injunctions have been obtained by property owners. The Gilbert Company for this privilege is required to give an additional undertaking for ten thousand dollars conditioned to pay all damages the plaintiff may sustain by reason of the stay. The Van Vorst decision is another victory for rapid transit. It enables the Gilbert Company to resume the work of construc- tion at once, except near Forty-second and Twentieth street, where temporary injunc- tions have been obtained by owners of prop- erty. As the law has been pronounced con- stitutional these and the outside points embraced in the Sixth avenue application will no doubt be speedily disposed of, as any question of damages will have to be de- cided by the courts on suits, and will not be grounds for injunctions. We may thus hope that the main obstruction to rapid transit has been removed and that the work will now steadily progress. An Interesting Centennial Celebra- tion. To-morrow the people of Saratoga county will crown their centennial celebrations with the commemoration at Schuylerville of the final surrender of General Burgoyne's army. There is to bea grand military dis- play ; the addresses will be delivered by Governor Seymour and others whose ora- tions will alone be of sufficient attraction to draw together a large number of people, and the ceremonies at the laying of the foundation of the monument that is to cele- brate the event will be conducted by the Masonic fraternity. There will, of course, be a numerous attendance, and, with finé weather, the enjoyment of the multitude will no doubt be as unbounded as their patriotism. The surrender of Burgoyne is an event which merits a becoming celebration, for the advantages to the patriot cause at home and abroad. of the great victory to which the splendid leadership and per- sonal daring of Arnold and Morgan so greatly contributed cannot be over-esti- mated. As the first battle at Stillwater rendered inevitable the final surrender at Old Saratoga, so the laying down of the British arms at old Fort Hardy insured the eventual triumph of the republican cause. The monument which is to commemorate the great event is to be erected on high ground in the village of Schuylerville, and will be visible for miles around. Certainly no more interesting memorial of the Revolutionary war will greet the eye on any of the old battle fields than that which tells of the humiliation of the proud Englishman whose mission it was to break the backbone of the rebellion and to bring the disloyal colony of New York back to its allegiance to the British King.

A REDUCED MAJORITY! 325 Republicans, 191 Conserva- tives, the Rest in Doubt. BOTH SIDES DISAPPOINTED. The MacMahonists CJaim a Sickly Kind of Victory. GERMANY GLAD OF THE MARSHAL’S DEFEAT. [sx casLe To THE HERALD.) Panis, Oct. 16, 1877. Contrary to the expectations of the croak- ers, the elections of Sunday passed off in a profound and almost painful calm. The day was unusually warm and beautiful—a day of bright, streaming sunshine and cloudless sky. GOVERNMENT PRECAUTIONS. Minute and abundant preparations had been made for the preservation of order. The spirit of the martinet was everywhere, but although the means for instantaneous repression of.any outbreak were at hand the machinery in uniform was kept care- fully out of sight. The soldiers were con- fined to barracks and scarcely a red breeches was visible on the boulevards, where the soldiers usually form so conspic- uous a feature of the humanity that throbs along the broad sidewalks, AMONG THE RADICALS, The Heraxp correspondents made a tour of the voting booths, especially in the radi- cal quarters of Belleville and La Villette. The streets were filled with anxious citizens, who conversed in knots, but never gathered in crowds. There was the ‘blue blouse” smoking his pipe and the petit bourgeois look- ing oracular. Women of the working class tripped to and fro; but, although there was here and there a flash of that bantering cyni- cism which is common to all Frenchmen, there was no sustained levity anywhere. THEY CAN WAIT, Serious, brawny fellows, who have pon- dered much over socialistic books, who quote Voltaire, Victor Hugo and Louis Blanc, and who consider Gambetta but little better than the Count de Chambord, stand moodily at their doorways, as saying to themselves, “‘This is not even the over- ture of the opera; this is only the tuning of the fiddles.” QUIET AND CONFIDENT. The people up here have been told by Gambetta down at the American circus that the republicans are going to win, and they believe him. It is all settled for them be- forehand. Hence there is not a sign of disorder or impatience, not a cheer, nota loud word. This profound calm is in marked contrast to similar scenes at the elections in England and America. THE BOULEVARDS AT NIGHT. In the evening and up to midnight the inner and outer lines of boulevards are thronged with multitudes, making travel almost impossible. On the grand boule- vurds the cafés, kiosks and theatres are crowded. Never did the city present so an- imated and gay a picture, even in the hal- cyon, flaring days of the Lower Empire. WATCHING FOR THE RESULT. As Paris was assured of having gone over- whelmingly republican all interest centred in the returnsfrom the rural districts, At midnight the Hxratp correspondents gathered with their French colleagues in the press department of the Ministry of the Interior, and there listened to the reading of the returns. GAMBETTA’S SANGUINE ESTIMATE, A Henatp correspondent visited M. Gam- betta in the editorial rooms of La République Frangaise, where the ex-Dictator was found surrounded by e host of friends, Gambetta was in good health and spirits. He contin- ually scrutinized the returns which were coming inand which were read every few minutes to the groups in the court yard. Actual leader of the republican party as he is, there would seem few men in France younger of heart. He told the Hzratp man that héhought it safe to estimate the re- publicans in the new Assembly at three hundred and eighty. MANIPULATING THE BOURSE. In a final circular to the prefects on Sat- urday M. de Fourtou, Minister of the In- terios, after announcing M. Gambetta’s second sentence and declaring that 300 con- stituencies are secure for government can- didates, “The Bourse meanwhile rises, thus affirming its confidence in the government’s success.” INTERESTED CAPITALISTS. Asyndicate of brokers also telegraphed to the provinces on Saturday as follows:— “The Marshal's success is regarded as cer- tain, Rentes 105f. 95c.” It is true that that figure was touched during Saturday, prob- ably through the efforts of that same syndi- cate, and for the nurpose of influencing the said : elections, but when the Bourse closed at four o'clock rentes were 105f. 25c., and basie ness was done on the boulevards later et 105f. 120. © HOW THE FIGURES CHECK DIFFERENTLY. Now that the elections are over peace fully and a republican success is un- doubted, it is worthy of remark, in contrast with the official declaration of Saturday, that business was done in rentes on the boulevards yesterday morning at 105f. 90c, THE FIGURES AT MIDNIGHT. All day long the greatest interest haa been manifested in the successive bulletins of results. Two hundred and sixty-seven ig the number necessary to # majority, and ag the republicans were known early yester- day (Monday) to have passed that figure the great inquiry was how much the repub- lican majority had been reduced. At mid. night the returns showed 325 republicans and 191 conservatives. In at least twelve cases a second ballot will be required, sid L088 AND GAIN, This shows a net republican logs of thirty. eight seats, supposing the conservatives should gain all the contested seats, which is far from certain. It, however, would leave the republicans a majority of over one hundred. There have been many un- looked for changes, the conservatives losing about twenty seats to about sixty lost by the republicans, All the republican leaders are re-elected. It will be some days before the figures can be straightened out. ALL QUIET. Perfect tranquillity continues to prevail, BOTH SIDES DISAPPOINTED. The evening papers point out that both the opposition and the government are dis- appointed, the former having ‘hoped to re- turn 400 deputies, while the latter reckoned on gaining 100 seats. NOW FOR COMPROMISE, ‘The Messager de Paris states that the gov- ernment has gained forty seats and may ob- tain ten more, and suggests that the goy- ernment’s success is sufficient to afford an opportunity of terminating the crisis by mutual concessions. ¢ THE DONAPARTISTS. The Bonapartists claim to have gained .from thirty to thirty-four seats, but some of their leaders, such as the Duke de Mouchy, M. Chevreau and M. Raoul Duval have been defeated. The elections are consid- ered as unsatisfactory in result and as cale culated to lead to.a renewal of strife. DE BROGLIE’S IDEA OF A VICTORY. The Francais, the Duke de Broglie’s organ, claims that after Gambetta’s boast that 400'republicans would be returned the reduction of the republican majority ia virtually a government victory, which en- courages the conservatives to continue in the policy inaugurated on the 16th of May. The Défense, clerical, considers the reduc tion of the republican majority a rebuke to the insolence of the 363 and encouragement to President MacMuhon to persevere in his present course, THE REPUBLICAN IDEA, The Temps, while admitting some reduce tion of the republican majority, considers the decision of France in favor of the ree publicans peremptory, and declares that it will be neither possible nor permissible to resist it. The Conslitutionnel advises the immediate retirement of the Ministers. i The following is @ list of candidates elected so far as known:— REPUBLICANS, M.
