Let it come out earnestly for ABRATIOE RR. Lawrence reformer without spot or blemish, Let i bring to his support all the voters of G mau origin who place confidence in Mr Urresporren’s sincerity, and Lawrence will be triumphantly elected, treachery will be rebuked, and real reform will gain \firm fuothold in the city government — The Presidency. From the beginning of the canvass we dave aimed exclusively and constantly to lay before our readers the exact truth re- specting its nature, progress and prospects. Wehave told them that if the whole Demo- eratic party, or a sufficient majority of it, should ly unite with the Libe Republicans in support of their candidates they would certainly be elected; but we have also told them (hat if any large pro- portion of the Democrats should refuse to enter into such @ union, the candidates would be defeated. The contest is cordig Ww very near its termi- nation, The voting of next Tuesday wil settle it; and although very important events have happened in the October ¢ tions, affectin ly the probabili ties of the result, the question st remains essentially as it was the day the Cinciunat Convention pn inated Tomack Greciey His success is possible, but it is not certain by any means. The Liberal Republica traordinary tion in the canvass. up to all that was expected of the have proved themselve Lave shown ex Their strength js fully 1. They powerful in num- devo bers, and their discipline is perfect, be cause it is inspi urnest conviction and love of principle, However the strug- gle may terminate, it will be difficult for their bitter Autsgoulists to think of them without respect aud admiration, But they are election, Tn ox tenough to carry th vto make v ory sure the Democrats must go with them; and we are bound to say that the Democratl leaders and the Democratic masses have upon the whole, come up well to the work But there W body of Democrats who have hitherto appeared to stand aloot There were enongh of such in Penneyly bia to have given BeckaLew a majority in October had they chosen to go to the polls There were more than enough of them in Ohio to have outweighed the majority in favor of the Republican candidates; but their hearts were not in it; and they pre ferred to stay away and jet the party with which they had hitherto becu connected suffer defeat. What will these men do next Tuesday Will they stay away from the polls and let UKANT be elected, or will they vote f Gneriey aud eleothim? Oy will they vote for Grayi? These are questions which oan only be answered by the returns after the election, One thing, however tain: If Gian is elected, it will be due to Wiig body of Democrats, and their purpose Will be accomplished either by voting for him directly or by abstaining from voting altogether, It is an Interesting fact that it is this same faction of dissutistied Democrats, and extreme more commonly known a Copperheads, who defeated the Demo eratic purty and its « Jates in the mom orable clections of 1800, 1864, and 1465, ty 1800 they broke the party in two rather than elect Doveras; in 18d and 1863 they Dest it by putting it ona copperhead and repudiating platf Jat the « iL and Naw they oh they prefer t elect Onan that will bo the reason why they prefer him, Any way thore ts progress, ‘relations to the party have unde some change, Another fact of importance which is not generally recognized by political philoso- phere is that, what y the outcome of this election, the Democratic party will be a great deal strongerafterward than it was before, It will stand upon a new platform, pledged to vital and enduring isues, anc with the best elements of the Republ party nddod to ita forces. To this rege ated Democracy the future belongs. ————- Secretary Boutwell and the Currency. An Associated Press despatoh, published in all the newspapers of yesterday, fur- nishes the following tuformation concern~ ing @ recent increase by the Secretary of the Treasury of the amount of legal ten- der notes in circulatte Hreacury Department co gf the secretary — Was a the Assistant Tre vsurer at Ne tr to buy vs fell gold apart from the naual monthly programme {its ae on the tn of October, more than three weeks At the same time the despatch assures us there has be no further issue of green- backs since the date mentioned, and non will be made immediately. Rumors of this extraordinary action of the Secretary had already been more or leas prevalent, but until the appearance of the despatch referred to they were gen- erally discredited, Sober and intelligent citizens could not believe that an official of the Governm would thus take it upon himself to tamper with the finances of the country, and secretly derange the natural onrse of its busin: We put out of sight the darker insinuations that the Seeretary is in league with a ring of Wall street stock jobbers, and acted for their benefit. The mere fact that he should claim and exerc the power of adding, whenever he pleases, millions of dollars to the na- tional currency, and thereby of inflating the prices of all kinds of property and commodities within the national domain, is of itself suMiciently surprising, and proves clearly enough his unfitness to fill the place he occupies. It is true that Mr. Boutwer n make the excuse that he is not positively forbid- den by law to do what he has done, and threatens to do agnin and again, in this matter, whenever it may suit his pleasure, The act of April 12, 1866, under which the volume of legal tender notes was reduced from $100,000,000 to 356,000,000, merely « clared that the amount withdrawn should be “retired and cancelled,” without in terms prohibiting its reissue, Nor was the clause of the act of July 11, 18¢?, repealed, which says that in lieu of any motes “ can- celled or destroyed” there may be issued equal amounts of notes, such as are author: ized by the act. But that the Secretary is virtually proceeding without the sanc- tion of law, and of his own wanton will arrogating to himself most tremendous power over the fortunes of his fellow citizens, is too plain to need demonstration, If he may vdit five millions to the curreney suddenly uid secretly, he may add in the same man- ver twenty or forty millions; and what an iilation to that extent would result in’ w in readily see by re nee to the conse. iMences of the original issue of al ten- ters, Every man who had contracted to Jeliver stocks, or bonds, or merchandise or to do upon what he supposed te of money in circulation, we nous loss aud possibly | iy kind of work at rates based be the amount ld suffer enor= ruined, of all kinds of commodities would r, the wages of labor, which are always the last thing to be reached by monetary inflation would be insufficient to maintain the la- borer, and persons dependent upon fixed ‘orts, already neomes would find thy neroached upon, reduced to still narrower ianits. Mr, Boetwent, we presume, has no intention of immediately effecting this result, but he is mone the less drifting to- ward it. Three times already has he yielded to the importunities of men in pecuniary difficulties, and issued little ine stiliments of the #44,000,000 which he asserts ix subject to his disposal, and it will take but a few repetitions of the act to d out the whole, ‘The sooner the discretion he lays claim to is formally withdrawn by law the better it will be for every man, woman, and child in the country, except the few speculators who may be in his con- fidence, rec w a aetna The New Election Law of Mlinois. The Noveniber elections for State officers in Ti held under the provisions fa pew law, which makes many impor- aut changes iu the manner of regulating the reception and « ing of votes. In his law sp has been taken to provide against the commission of frauds by requiring that before receiving votes the bullot box shall be opened and exam- ined, and shall then be locked and not opened again until the close of the polls; and that after the opening of the polls no ois will by recess shall be taken until all the votes cast shall have been counted and the result publicly announced, It is also provided that any judge of election who shall open any ballot before putting it la the box, or permit a person to vote not legally qualified, or refuse to receive the who is vote of @ person making the required Proof, or count more than one ballot from each voter, or neglect to take the oath of office, shall be fined $1,060 and imprisoned one year in the county 1. Explicit directions are given in regard te the form of ballot to be used, the intent of which is voters an opportunity to change or serateh their ballots as much as they wish, ind in relation lo the manner in which the votes are to be counted and the result de- ired But the most duced in the new law important change intro- manner of voting under the relates to the chuice of Repre- ves in th istature, who may be voted for on the cumulative principle, It is provided that three Representatives all be elected in each Senatorial district, and that in all elections of Representatives each qualified voter may cast as many votes for one candidate as there are Rep- resentatives to be ¢lected, or may dis tribute the same, or equal parts thereof, ainong the candidates as he may see ft, Thus, JOuN Sarr, Joun Jones, and Jonn Bown being caudidates, the voter may express his preference in either of the fol. lowing forms: 1 venta 2 John Smith, John Smith, 1 John Jone Youn Jones in Jolin Brow 4 4 hon Silt 4 Joho Brown, 3 Join Jones 1 In the first form each of the candidates receives One vote; in the second two of them receive one and a half votes each and the third none; in the third SMrrit re celves two votes, Jones one, and Brown none; in the fourth the voter casts a ' plumper for Joun Brown, who is credi ed THE SUN, SATURDAY.

This is the system which it was proposed by the Committee of Beventy to introduce for the election of Aldermen in this city, and which met with little favor among us. Whether the plan is better adapted for the rural districts of [linois remains to be seen, and the result of the experiment will be watched with some interest. ne a No War im Cuba. Only the other day the Tribune, in a leading article on the Cuban anniversary of independence, spoke in terms of unmiti- gated contempt of the efforts made and making by the Cubans for their freedom, ainong other spiteful expressions worthy of Mrs. NAGuLeton, comparing the Cuban ermira to “the impalpable summer clouds.” Our contemporary probably is satisfied with the result of his publication, for his essay was republished with much sound of trumpets in all the Havana pa- pers, and will of course reach Madrid also. ‘The loyal slave traders of Havana and the monarchists of Spain owe the Tribune a service, Asa slig and unimportant matter of t, however, we gather from one of the very papers in which the Tribune's arti- cle is copied, that some of these “impalpa- ble clouds” have proved themselves very ugly bodies for the Spanish soldiery to en- counter, Thus, on Sept. 13, one cloud, five hundred strong, guided by Mopestro Diaz, fell upon, sacked, and burned the village of Cano, near Manvaniilo, On the same day another cloud, three hundred strong, at+ tacked the village of La Sal, near Bayam On the same day still another cloud, one thonsand strong, under the management of CALIXTO Gancta, attacked the town of Guisa, and after sacking it burned it to the eround, The above unpleasantly palpable clouds came upon the Spaniards in the small districts of Bayamo, Holguin, and Manzanillo, with such results as we have deseribed, Of the nature of the “clouds” in the jurisdictions of Santiago, Guantanamo, and Baracoa, the Spanish journals vouchsafe no information. It is believed, however, by well-informed persons that the clouds under Maximo Gomez in these ju tions are so dense as not to inyite examina- tion by the Spaniards, A ring to the Spanish official report of military actions down to Sept. 15, the whole jurisdiction of Camaguey is one mass of these clouds, while the same report ntuins accounts of any number of en- with small © impalpe in every section of the much-pacitiod Villas isdie~ counters The Tribune stultitied itself, only a few days after aiving its iN-dieguised hos. tility to the Cubans, by the public 1 of a letter from Havana which detailed th ult of an attack by one of its im- patpables, this tim: (i and under command of no less a celebrity than Gen, AGRaMoNTE, which surprised and dr e inthe garrison of Puerto Prin- and retreated after having sacked and set on fire the suburb of La Caridad, whieh ts to Puerto Principe what Brooklyn is to New York hese impalpable clouds of which men- tion is now made by the Spaniards amount to over eight thousand men. How his su) jects in Cuba must deluée that poor King of Spain, as well as all the leading politicians, making him belicve that there is a war in Cuba, for he said there was in his speech! President: Grant, the Tribune—happ however, As € only a rural disturbanc epee rere en The people of Chicago are greatly ex- cited over the action of the Superintendent of Police in enforcing a law, which bas long been a dead letter, prohibiting the sale of intoxicat- ing drinks on Sunday. Many years ago, when Mayor Rick was in office, the attempt was made toshut up the beer shopson Sunday, and di commotion was the result. ‘The police authorl- tles met with a spirited resist re from the dispensers and cor of stimulating bever- ages, and the May ity govern nt were besle d for twe ln the old Court House uw & battery of flying artillery came to their relief, During the riot, which was finally quetied by the military, more whiskey than blood was spilled, but broken heads and black eyes were numero Th ent enforcement of the ob- e law was brought about because a publi ing, called to devise measures for the pre- of crime, fell under the control of the temperence en, Who requested the Mayor to close the saloons on Sunday, As this measure contemplated the prohibition of lager on that . the Germans considered it as directed es- pectally at them as a class, and called meetings in which the course of the authorities was bitterly seven hundred stron, cipe. Don Haminror, and y trio—know bette LeRscnpr said, It is umers days denounced, while those who advocate the en- forcement of the law have been holding other meetings for the purpose of defending their views. The matter has now got into politics, the Sunday law party declaring that they will support no candidate for the Legislature, or for any city Fr county office, who does not pronounce in favor the Sunday law; while the members of ihe Personal Liberty League and the majority the Germans will only vote for those who pron ise to labor for its repeal, What effect this ox citement will have on the political complexion of the vote in Chicago remains to be seen, but the Guan? men, with characteristic conselen- tiousness, appear determined to turn it to thelr advantage of possible, ‘The GRAant organ, which is printed In German, assures Its readers that the GRKELEY men are responsible for the at tempted enforcement of the obnoxious law, and that the Grant candidates, If elected, will make no effort to execute it; while, on the other sand, an organ of Grantiam, which is printed in Kn: lish, assures its American readers that the GRANT men are entitled to the credit of en- forcing the Sunday law, and If elected, will cor tinue the effort to render its enforcement por- petual, Tn South Carolina the whites are entirely excluded from the militia organization, while hegro troops are MMR with breech-loaders, and supplied with ball cartridges before each election, Yet in the fave of this fact Gran's Washington organ is moved to rage because the Governor of Georgia, who is an honest man and not a thieving cary Hike his absconding predecessor, Is organizing the militia of that State as a measure for the suppression reaches of the peace which may be too for the control of the police. to Government of Gec any rious Under the present ‘gia good order Is gen. erally maintained, and the publle revenues are Mpplied for the public benellt Lnstead of being stolen ax they were when GRANt's friends were In powers and as it ix the Governor's duty to rovide for the brotection of ehizens against Aisturbandes of all descriptions, he will doubt- Jens discharge that duty as falthfulty as be has discharged others which have devolved upon him.
