As was to havo been expected, the Copperheads of Colorado, at whose head Gov. Cummings has finally planted bimself, are making bad effort to defoat its admission as a State. A Democratic Couvention is to meet on the 24th for this purpose. To Spain belongs the unfortunate distinction of being ruled by the last of the Bourbons still in the enjoyment of royal power. Bourbonism is synony- mous with a reactionary policy of the worst type, and the condition of Spain, under Queen Isabella, for- cibly illustrates the pernicious character of the policy.

The issue, so long evaded avd postponed, has ripened in Mary- land through the heat of a contest won at the expense of those who fought to save the State which others attempted to destroy. They can now well afford to sot the justice of Impartial Suffrage against the wrong of this bad mishap; we doubt if anything but defeat would have taught them, or any other large class of men in the South, the lesson. But it would be strange if the men of Maryland could not advance to the same views which even Judge Reagan of Texas, ex-Secretary of the Confederacy, has had the sug:nci(y to aunounce. JEFFERSON DAVIS. Eighteen months have nearly elapsed since Jefler- son Davis was made a state prisoner. He had pre- viously been publicly charged, by the President of the United States, with conspiring to assassinate Presi- dent Lincoln, and $100,000 offered for his capture thereupon. The capture was promptly made and the money duly paid; yet, up to this hour, there Las not been even an attempt made by the Government to procure his indictment on that charge. He has also been popularly, if not officially, accused of complicity in the virtual murder of Union soldiers, while pris- oners of war, by subjecting them to needless, inhuman exposure, privation and abuse; but no official attempt has been made to indict him on that charge. He has been indicted for simple treason; and even this indictment bas not been obtained at the instance of the Government. It may be so badly drawn that no conviction could be had on it, whatever the proof ad- yet the Executive could say, “‘I am not re. this, The indictment was obtained nt or privity of my Attorney-General or Cabinet. Repeated attempts have been made by the prison- er's counsel to bring his case to trial; but to no pur- pose. The Goverument does not appear to prosecute; the machinery of the Courts is always out of order. At one time, Martial Law stands in the way; when that obstacle is removed, there is a cavil as to the sufficiency or completeness of its withdrawal; and, when that will no longer serve, it is found that Con- gress has somehow disarranged the judicial districts, €0 that the case cannot safely be proceeded with, And Congress itself, having most inconsiderately med- dled with the matter, never tovk pains to inquire what action on its part, if any, was requisite: so that now Congress, President and Chief Justice, are ina complete muddle on the subject; each seeming in: clined to throw all responsibility for the delay on one or both of the others The upshot of all this is, that the prisoner is not tried, nor likely to be; and that, if tried, Le is morally certain not to be convicted; if convicted, not to be punished. There are still many persons who would like to have him executed; but there is not one intel- ligent man on earth who has the faintest notion that he ever will be. For, though governments sometimes inflict capital punishment on conspicuous Rebels, they never, at least in modern times, do s0 long after their rebellion was suppressed. Austria, in 1549, put to death thirteen of the Hungarian leaders betrayed into her bands by the miscreant Gorgey; but she tried them by drumhead court-martial directly. after their surrender, and had them all hanged and buried within forty-eight hours. Had she waited eighteen wonths, and then executed them, she would kave invoked the execrations of all Christendom. Since it is notorions that Davis is not to be pun- ished, why is he still kept awaiting & trial which he slone seems to desire, and which he can by no means obtain? ‘What good end is subserved by persisting in & menace which still serves 1o irritate, though it no longer sppalls ?

In the state of feeling then prevalent, this aspect of the case was regarded by mavy with evident complacency.

If we could to-morrow have Impartial Suffrage imposed and submitted to, we should very greatly prefer that it be decreed by the South,as essential to her own internal, harmony, pros- perity and rapid development. Aud we feel confi- dent that magoanimity toward Davis on the part of tho: 1o hold Impartial Sufirage to be an essential element of National reconstruction, will powerfully contribute to that juster appreciation of the North at the South which is the first step toward a beneficent and perfect reconciliation. CONGRESS. The present Senate stands 3% Radicals and 13 Democrats and Conservatives, counting the Tetnes- secans, whom we omitted yesterday. The next is likely to bave 41 Radicals and 10 Democrats. The new Senators, thus far, are the Hon. Cornelius Cole of California, the Hous. J. 8. Fowler and David T. Patterson of Tennessee (who have taken their seats), A. G. Cattell of New-Jersey, (present Congress) and H. W. Corbett of Ore Only one of these, Senator Patterson, the President’s somein-law, is a Democrat. The complexion will be further changed by the election of a Democratic Senator in Maryland (probably Gov. Swann) to fill the place of the Hon. A. J. Cresswell, Radical, whose term expires next year; and in Pennsylvania and New-Jersey by the choice of Radicals in place of the Hous. Edgar Cowan and Wiiliam Wright, Democrats, the latter deceased. John Evans and Jerome B. Chaflee are the Senators chose®, from the proposed mew State of Cole7ado, and Thomas W. Tipton and Ggg. 7.

We printed in owr last the courteous and kindly protest of ghe officers of the Fenton aud Woodford Germa Cenira, Campaign Club against our averment that a good many of our citizens of German birth, who have hitherto acten With the Republicans, saw fit 4o vote against us on ‘ixesday, because of thejy antipathy to the Excise act of las; Winter. Trusting ergd, we that said protest has been mead atg {0 bere submit a few comments, N - ‘That a good many Germans zealonsly supported the Republican ticket in our late coutest, Lager of no Lager, is undisputed, They may or may not have numbered 7,000; but there are no mere intelligent, earnest, cousistent champions of Equal Rights thau the great body of our German Repuldicans. We should deeply regret to learn that sy of these Lad taken offerme at onr remarks. Bat trath is trath: and it is troe that a very con- siderable body of Germans, hitherto acting with the Republicans, went sgainst them im our late contest: and that the Exeise act of last Winter was, with wost of them, the impelling cause of this change. Look at the vote for Governor in those Wards where citizens of German birth are most nuwerous: 1861 Frxrox. Wards. Total..® 999 i ® 14 208 Fenton's lows, =15, Hoffman's gain, 3,202. —In the XIth asd XVIIth Wards, Geo. F. Stein- brenner, an active and popular German Republican, was our candidate for Congrese, while Adolf L was running for Assembly ia the XIXth. them, we believe, drew ont every German v could be obtained for our ticket generally, beside many that could not; but for which, Gov. Fenton's vote would have been still lighter. Yet, while the aggregate vote is considerably increa Gov. Fenton is decidedly reduced. And so inthe City generally, but most signally in the Xth and XVIIth Wards, well known to be largely inhabited by Germans. The aggregate vote of our City is about two-thirds foreign-born. From citizens of Irish birth, Gov. Fenton received more votes iz 1%66 than in 1564, We estimate that be had quite as many votes from natives of this conntry in'66 as in '64. Yet his vote is nearly 3,000 less than it was. Thatthis loss is mainly among the Germaus is the general belief; { and we deem it entirely correct. Of course, Germans, like others, are at perfect | liberty to vote as they see fit, and for such reasons s | to them shall seem good. We claim only the right to | report facts and to comment on them. The Ger- mans who voted for Liteoln and Fenton in 1564 are | not dissatisfied with bhim, nor with Congress, nor averse to ** Redicalism: " but many of them are hostile to any legislation which limits festivity and jollity, music and lager, on Bundays. And most of their jour- nals studiously conceal from their readers the fact | that our laws bave, from time immemorial, prokibited public amusements and sociul tippling on Sun- days; so that there is nothiog in the Excise act of last Winter which has not been in substance the | law of our State for generations.

Bud in the Republic the Demagogue often commanding public attention. Having found no time | supplants the State money purchases political power; and the hig s.aces are filled by the lowest men. These are the celects of our excellences, and looking only at the defects, the monarehist assumes that Democracy is a failure, But take another proverb, “There is no corruption 80 bad as the corruption of the best." The beauty of the Democratic principle makes its abuses more conspicuous. The freedom we professed made the slavery we permitted far more detestable than slavery can ever be under a monarchy; the peace we had 50 long enjoyed made the war more terrible; the order maintained by the people made rebellion more re- markable. But tkese evils were not results of our Democracy, but protests againstit. We grant that there are evils which secem inseparable from onr sys- tem of Government, and arise from the ignorance and the passions of the people. Democracy, which trusts the peeple, takes a risk which monarchy avoids, but almost universally it takes that risk safely, for popu- lar prejudices and passions neutralize each other, and the average intelligence of the people finds its level in the end. Deny the Democratic principle and you deny Humanity. Just as we could never fit the negro for freedom by keeping him in Slavery, so nations can never be improved by holding them in subjection to any power, however wise and good it may be. Men do not progress in good by the virtue of their rulers, but throngh their own experionce; the exercise of a power is itself an_education, and if the millenium is ever reached, it will only be through that form of government which makes every man a co-worker in reform and progress. Absolute good must have universal basis. Even in this confusion we cay see the working of the democratio principle ®r good; even the present evil of Andrew Jobnzon's Presidency will be a future good, for e has taught the people & lesson of pruds=ie they are likely to beed. If we CaBUP escape the defects of our excellences, we are at least able to use them to prevent greater evils. CLERICAL REFORM IN THE CAPIT AL. Virtue is looking up in Washington. We do not it is true, and as we are quite pained to record, hear of any novel and stern adoption of good resolutions at the White House, although, in our time, that edifice bas been much whiter than it is at present, in spite of the persistent struggles of the President to range him- self upon the side of purity, truth and charity. When he has determined to declare in favor of special and particular and unmitigated morality, be is hardly so modest as not to advertise bis intention, and we shall probably hear “of it, either by proc- lamation or through a speech from the offi- | otat oor-steps, Meanwbile, we aré hraplured fo learn that tig Secretaries * have under consideration the subjeet of im@drality among the employés of their several departments, and have resolved to adopt effec- tual measures to arrest this growing evil.” Special dwtectives, we are assured, have been detailed. Young gentJemen found fighting the tiger will be pushed from their stools, without a morsel of mercy. Beribes discovered visiting paphian edifices, will be kicked ont of the public buildings. Clerks running in debt to | their tailors and landladies, will be instantaneously guillotined. Any servant of the State, **in any way connected with matters of an unlawful or disgraceful character,” will be driven to perambulate the fatal plauk. There is to be an end of all * reprehensible practices.” This would be unspeakably satis- fnctory, there were any rule Dby which we could determine what i3 consider'd by the preseni Administration to be “‘unlawful” « : *dis- Morality is . In some countries it is held tobe o highly meritorious action for a man to strangle hia superapouated grandfather; in Sparts, the erime wio not in stealing, but in being found out; and the choleric words of captains are flat blasphemy in the months of private soldiers. But we would make no peedless objection. We know very well that there is one law for the high and mighty, and another for the lowly and weak. Lofty place has its privileges, and may indulge in gratifications forbidden to the under if | orders, The holder of a position from which he ean be “promptly dismissed” must be cautious; a little irreg- ularity ‘n those who are upon a firmer footing is not of the least consequence, and if it were, what ara you going to do about it? Might may not be right, Lat it usoally acts as if it were, and, in small matters, this easy-going, jolly old world takes small heed of Iittle inconsistencies. It will be of no use at adl for a wretched clerk, collared by & remorscless detective, in the very act of going into or coming out of & house of evil repute, to plead that the Hon. Mr. So-and-So, of such a Department, sometimes strays over the tabooed threshold. Such culprits, if they will teke our advice, will not adopt that line of defense, for in no other way can they so finally and fatally flcor themselves. They had far better plead **insanity and throw themselves upon the mercy of their Rhada- munthus, whoever he may be, It is very far from our intention to cast a single drop of cold water upon any scheme for the moral re- | form of the City of Washington; for, whatever may be done, we bardly fancy that it will be converted into # New-Jerusalem in our time. But there are other sins and shames as well as those against which the Heads of Department have now been laid together. It is not reputable to game, but neither is it reputable to sell one's politicel prineiples for a mess of pottage, towever palatable it may be. It is discreditable to frequent bagnios, but there is & prostitution of the soul s well as of the body. It is disgraceful not to pay oue's tailor, but it is more so to forget the debt vhich every man owes to his country. There s no immorality so utterly mean and loathsome, uone so dangerous to the Republic, none so abhorred that which is demand is that the law shall now be eitber subverted | mvolved in the surrender of principles and opinions or not enforced.

Weshall then be certain, or more nearly 8o, that these hot and hurrging reform- ers are roally in earnest; whereas, they now seem to us, we must confess, to be searching for a conve- nient excuse—in short, for a grindstone upon which to sharpen the ax of proscription. THE STATE LEGISLATURES. The New-York State Senate remains unchanged by the elections of Tueaday last; with the exception of the XXVIIth District, where John J. Wicks was elected to fill the vacancy cansed by the resignation of Canal Commissioner Hayt, the Senmators hold over. The Senate, therefore, stands 26 Repub- licans to € Democrats. The Members of the Assembly elected were 84 Republicans and 44 Democrats; thus giving the Republicans a majority of 60 on joint bal- lot. This insures the election of a Radical United States Senator to succeed Senator Harris. In New Jersey, the State Senate contains 13 Repub- licans and 8 Democrats; the Assembly 33 Republicans and 27 Democrats, giving, on joint ballot, the de- cided Republican majority of 11, which guarantees the election of a Republican United States Senator to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Wright. The Massachusetts Senate is unanimously Radical; the House stands 227 Radicals to 9 Democrats, The Maryland Legislatnre will be Democratic, The Senate will contain 8 Republicans and 16 Demo- crats; and the Assembly, 21 Republicans to 59 Demo- crats, giving the Democrats a majority of 46 on joint Lallot. This will give the State a Democrat for United States Senator to succeed Senator Cresswell. Definite returns from the Western States have not yet reached us. Enough, however, is known to determine the political complexion of the Legisla- tures in all the States, They are uniformly Republi- can. In Ilinois, Mr. Trumbull will undoubtedly be returned to the United States Semate. Wis- consin will elect Senator Howe, or will send a Radical to succeed him; Kansas will do likewise in the case of Senator Pom- eroy, and will elect a Radical to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Lane. Missouri will elect a Republican to succeed the Hon. B. Gratz Brown, who declines a reélection. Thus the gain in New-Jersey will balance the loss in Maryland, and leave the gain of four Senators in the September and October elections unreduced. The World charges that the Republicans hoped to swell their vote by “Excise laws.” We certainly do elieve that, if Tewer men bad a babit of getting Jdrunk, there would be fewer Democratic voters; but wo should not have mentioned it if we bad R'een’l’t alone. "k ® A The Excise law of last Winter was devised and framed in this City, by mep degply interested iy Tempéiante aud scateely af all in polities. They had no idea that it would influence the vote of our City one way or another. In fact, they believed it so judi- cious, #o considerate, so moderate, that the more re- spectable liquor-dealers would gladly accept and con- form to it. The result seems to indicate that the Rum and Lager interest will submit to no regulation what- ever, and that the decent men connected therewith choose to make tbeir bed with the blear-eyed wretches who will sell liquid poison at all times to any man, woman, or child, who can pay for it. And our sleek, The New:3'grk Obsereer, The Journal of Commerce, The Christian Intelligener, and other organs of commer- cial piety, are perfect(y Willing to let Rum rule at will and make every Sunday a carniys! of debauchery and tipsy riot, if they may thereby injurd fhe Republican party. Thank heaven that their power feii ghort of achieving the mnfair advantage they meditated. REGISTRATION. The World asserts that more people voted in our City last Tuesday than would have done had there been no Registry Law. We thivk many more legal voters exercised their Right of Suffrage; but thers would lave Leen far more votes cast in the absence of a Registry. More men would have voted twice or oftener, and more wonld bave voted who were net legal electors, had there been no registry. As it was, some illegal votes were east; but the regis- try was a great barrier to all manner of fraud. The World talks of the ** difficulties ” which were expected to ** deter poor people from coming to the polls.” There were no such. Two-thirds of the voters inour City did not lose balf an hour cach in getting registered and voting combined, and there are few in- deed who were required to give an bour to both. ‘When we first voted in this City, there was but one poll in & Ward, and we waited two Lours for & chance to vote, and then left to return sgain, seeing that half a day would be spent in reaching the poll. (Elections were then held throngh three days.) That was a real “diffieulty;” bus it has been happily overcome, and now voting in New-York is as easy as it need be. If there be any districts wherein there are too many voters, the Commen Council may divide and multiply them indefinitely. The only ** difficulty " presented by dur present laws, is difficulty in cheating; andthat we trust, will not be diminished. THE MAJORITY FOR GOVERNOR.

Ll L GOV. SWANN AGAIN Vlll‘flld.m PRESIDENT--WEST™ ERN COPPERHEADS CONGRATULATING HIM—EFFECY OF THE ELECTIONS ON OFFICE-SEEKERS. BY TELEQRAPH TO THE TRIROUNE. ‘WasHixoTox, Thursday, Nov. 8, 1965, Goy. Swann of Maryland arrived here this and had an interview with the President. No politi- cal significance attaches to this visit, which i3 rather one of mutual congratulation over the result of tha election in Maryland and its restoration to Conserva. tivernle. Theattendance at the White House this week has greatly diminished from what it has been heretofore. The near approach of the session of Congress and the fact that the elections are over and the proscription policy has mot *\mifled the exfoetaliou» of its efficiency in controll- ng the political action of the people, renders it im- probable that there will be many additional removals on account of want of accord with the views and policy of the Administration, and this has to some ex- tent relieved the President of the persooal pressuro of applicants and their friends. Beside this, resstre 0¥ important &nmic business has been such of late as to prevent the President from granting oral audience to all comers, as heretofore, d:.iz:‘ bave been obliged to leave without the interview after dancing attendance in the ante-rooms for several days. It is of littie use at present for per- sons to visit Washington merely to see the President, uniess assured beforehand that they will be received. A delegation of about twenty Western Conserva- tivi v of whom were from Ohio, learning of the arival of Gov. Swann from Baltimore, called on him at Willard's Hotel this evening and tendered their con- gratalations upon the peace and quietness which pre- vailed in Baltimore during the recent eloction, and upon the result of that election in favor of the Conservative cause, M . Sherlock and Strickland of Obio being the privcipal spokesimen, Gov. Swann replied at some length, substantially vepeating his remarks made at Baltimore in response to the crowd who called upon. him after the election there, He gave the prineipal credit for the good order which prevailed in Baltimore on Tuesday to the influence and good offices of Gens. Grant and Canby. He stated that a proposition had been mode by the old Police Com to compromise the difficulty and resi in 10 days, but said the matter had gove so far vi:c he had declined to accede to the proposition, and it must now be settled by the Courts to which the Commis- sioners had appealod from his decision. After partak- ing of acollation aud remaining for some time in in- formal social converse, the party separated. Secretary Browning bas given a decision in an ap- peal from the action of the Pension Office, in regard to claims for the increase of invalid pensions under the act of June 6, 1766, His construction of the law is in substance containeddin the following paragraph quoted from the decision: ““Three grades of disability are described in the Act; but it is 1ot 10 be presumed that Congress supposed that al iavalid [ siogers who reccive the muximum emount under former laws bis the Aet, Z ‘would be therefore entitled to its liberal provisions.
