It is with Joy inexpressible thst we announce this morning the overwhelming defeat of th Ring Ticket in nsratlton County and tho aaocess of the Boform candidates. The majority is lsrgo snd decisive', for this we nre indebted to the patriotic and conservative men of the Republican party, who in large numbers voted with ns. The extent of this victory can hardly be overestimated. For the last eight years, with one exception, the Republican majority has been counted by thousands. To tWs wsa supposed to be impossible.

The Radical iltog did not believe it could be aooom-plWhed under any contingency. Relying opon tbelrMOO majority for Grast, they entered apon the canvass. Tliey had the native support of IIaustbab, ot the Commercial, wtio gave the ticket a warmer and more cordial aid tbaa he was ever known before to professed to bsve no doubt of tbfy result, and clatmed the election a mcjorlty a little lees than what it has been in previous years. All their ablest speakers, Morton, Sbbrxah were brought into the county. No expenditure of money was spared that could possibly give the Ring triumph.

The National banks were assessed for a large amount. Ho wereihe Governmentoflioe-hoWers Federal, State and County, The police were especially sctive. In every ward the blue coats were to be seen dragging men to the polls, and otherwise Interfering with' the Their conduct was dUgraaeful, and indicated In a significant manner necessity for a reform ia the police administration, snd of a total divorce between it and politics. Despite all these disadvantages and their past overwhelming maority, the Ring has been routed, and the very citadel of their strength has passed from them. We do not exult over thia victory as a purely Democratic triumph.

It Is something more and higher it Is the beginning of a brishter dsv for this county. The cor ruption carnival la Approaching Its end. While the success of the county ticket is A splendid local triumph, the majority for Mr. Pxkdlxtoii is even more gratifying. It is a protest Fifteenth by the electors' of Hamilton County.

It la a manifestation of their un conquerable dislike to Negro and Chinese Suffrage. It bran Indication thst they are dissatisfied with tho financial policy of the that they are Jo paying the debt In greenbacks, and for the taxation of the bonds as other property la taxed. It Is an expression of their1 indignation against the fanning out of offices by Ubajt and against bis corrupt gold speculations In New York. It means that the people want mors currency; that their present facilities are too much To the Bpporterg of the Ring Ticket this defeat Is a most signal and overwhelming rebuke, from which they win not soon recover. It vindicates the wisdom, ef the policy which dictated the County Reform movement, without which no such 'victory tjtrald have been We can not close this article without paying onr tribute to Mr.

HAMArREBT, of the Volbiblatt, and Mr. Stabudck, of tbo Timv, who fearlessly and boldly, spurning all party ties, put the influence of then? Journals upon the side Reform. Bitterly denounced and condemned by heated partisans, snd by' the corrupt emissaries of the Ring, they held on the even tenor of their way, and were In a large degree Instrumental In assisting to win the brilliant triumph hich has been gained by the friends of Reform. To Halstead particularly, this result will be most mortifying. It has been, so fsr as he is concerned, his fight ss to the County ticket.

Ilia paper has teemed with the grossest abase of the Democratic and Reform candidates. It has overflowed 1 with vlrulenve and malignancy against the parties who were mainly interested in the movement. lie has spared no pains to- excite a prejudice against them, but be has miserably railed to accomplish his The 1 corrupt Ring, although haying Hautkad for their organ and Head Conter, have been signally baffled and defeated. Never was defeat more deserved. Our office was crowded last night with an immense crowd from an early hoar In the evening to a late hour this morning.

The enthusiasm' was unbounded. Aa the returns came in. from the different Wsrds and Townships favorable to Mr. Pkndi.k-T09 and the Reform Ticket, the cheering could be heard for squares. The Cbmmcr-cial and Gazette offices were early deserted, and a more forlorn andiencenaabeen seldom seen than those who were gathered around those establishments.

The cursing Of Daxstkad was universal, A rontid-erable number had been induced to stake their money on his Judgment, and aa the latter waa worth nothing, they, of course, lost. It will be a long time before they will trust him again. This ends the dictatorship which the Commercial has soagbt to plsy over Hamilton County politics. Hereafter his assistance will be deemed of little importance, and bis opposition will be rather ported than feared, The people have spoken. They demand a change, and a change they will have.

Tbe Leaislatare. The gain of Ave members and two Senators, ia this county, we Insures the next Legislature to the Democracy. This is of vital Importance.

The predictions were, from the beginning, by Uautxad's friends that he would ran largely behind bis' ticket and be' badly beaten. A Coagveiieleaafllaejalry. Congress meets inDecember next. A large majority of that body are In accord with the President and his policy.

Although this is the case, it Is not to be supposed that they will be bound to sustain him in every thing that may appertain to his own convenience and personal interests. At any rate, the people demand that they should not. The late gold excitement has caused grave apprehension, on the part of a majority ef the country, that the President has been en gaged in those transactions, asxl made aa unwarranted nseof his official power te benefit himself and a few' interested friends. We are inclined to this opinion from the fact that, among other things, Mr. as.

Fisk, made a public statement that he Las ta bis possession three autograph letters from the President in relation to. the late gold movement. Moreover, struagor even than this, is the knowledge thst operators hi the gold advance bought" geld, and that among them waa the President's brother-in-law, Mr. A. R.

CoBsnir. It is altogether unlikely and improbable hat experienced speculators would engage in so hazardous aa enterprise, which a word from the Administration could kill, without some ssHuranoes from them that that word would not te spoken. If this is true and we have no reason te donbt Mr. Fisk's statement, although ear co-temporary of the bmmereial sees fit te throw discredit on it, thereby endeavor ing to defend the President by assailing Mr. Fiak's veracity an investigation should be made hy Congress, its assembling; and 'in the name of the people we demand it.

If the facts, aa stated on the authority of Mr. Fisk, and corroborated by circunifltentlal testimony, are found to be trute, we ssy that it ia a anffl cient cause for impeachment of the Presl dent and his remoVat from office. If aet found true, let It be known, and the President exonerated from tie char re so derogatory to his repatatton. and so inja rlous to the country. This would be a splendid opportunity for Beit Bctlcji to push blmsolf forward and show his seal for the good of the nation, ss in his famous case of All of the People of the United States vs.

There is at the present time an Immense European Influence in our politics, Years ago the United States Bank was put down, among other reasons, because, while the United States Government was a stockholder In it, it had as partners European nabobs, much stock ss the Government, could outvote it, end thns dictate to the country its financial policy. This ground of objection to Bio dlx's bank can now be 'made with far greater force. From eight hundred to a thousand millions of dollars of on) bonds are now held in Europe. They are In tbe hands of Dnkes, ConntSj Lords, Princes, Bankers snd They are affiliated in interest with the bondholdlng class in this country. They all act together for common purposes.

The American 'r bondholder takes counsel of and acta nponyhe suggestion JU foreign partner, I( money is necessary to carry elections for the bond party, the foreign Dukes, Counts and Lords are called npon to make np their pony-purses for 'that purpose. Congressmen, Legislators snd Executive offioers are chosen, who wM obejr their behests and oontrlbnte to sustain their policy. Before our Secretary Of the. Treasury, or before Congress acts, tbey are subject to the manipulations of the titled monarchists of the Old World, bo bold a large part of pox immense in- debtedness. This is not a very consoling face for American patriots, and for those who desire to preserve republican Institutions.

A foreign monetary inflaence is the worst danger to which our country can be subjected. It is indeed mere to be feared than all other hostile influences. We must contrive speedily te rid ourselves of it, or we shall inevitably lose onr liberty, and, white nominally independent, will really "be ruled by titled aristocrats across the ocean. NOTES ANO NOTIONS. 'The RaAcals rejoice in the fact that there were five towns In Vermont which die not retarn a Democratic vote at the last election.

The caeeU remarkable, certainly, but net wholly unparalleled. bletory. 'There were no Democrats, we believe, In a certain large city from which Abbahak's brother-ln-Jaw emigrated atoae time, and the place be-camo ratber too hot for Its Haulcal Inhabitant ooii afterward.

In all candor, bestrlct Justice to sll classes, debtors and creditors alike, that It should last nn Ul the debts contracted In that bankrupt paper are paid In tbe sameT Ia there no class of the American deserving consideration at the bands even of independent journalists, except only that class which lends money. A oftBBflPOHDENT writes from Wash-tegtoaCnat "Senator BraAOUB has been busy during this long recess in getting ills artillery In order, and In strengthening the Quality and cjnantity of his ammunition," and Inst he will vigorously attack the Radical pasty In Congress. This is only one of many point at which the lines of 'that party have been weakened by the Insane mkleamess of als leaders, sd It will be something more thaastraag If dosensf tbe ablest men hereto fbse attached to Uiat organisation are 'not seen deserting Its itarxlaftia nefcrs another session of Congress loaded dowa with the multitude ef vicious' and earrapi plunder sobemes, already pared eom as to aa end. One of tbe two Vkcginia Senators who voted against the ratrfleatlon of the fifteenth Amendment was a slack Badleai, who held that aa the Legislature was forbidden te exercise rts proper ntnetiona by the military aa-tboriaes, under Attorney General Hoabs opinion, the rAtiacatios was a fcollsb teres. The colored person's logic is certainly naexeep-Uonable.

There are some Indians out la Montana who evidently have net heard of ths treaties mads by the Feaoev Com ailssloneri last year, and dont care a continental for the moral suasion of the Quaker reglmS. Ths Helena UattU alludes to soma ef their recent proceedings a follows; The Indiana, for several weeks past, have been stealing none from the people In a scope of country comprising one-naif the Territory of Montana front Deep Creek to Benton, and from Benton to Lincoln and Missoula. They have done It both la ths daytime and In ths night, with impunity, and there seems to have been bo one to hinder them or make them afraid.

And, although they have not put theraaelves te much trouble to murder, yet tbey have dons so where convenient. Wehaveheardof nolnterfereneeen tbe part of either soldiers or Quakers to stop these outrages. Of oonrae not. Tbe soldiers are all needed tor' Radical electioneering purposes In ths Booth, and the President Is too busy with his new billlard-room to bother his head about the troubles of the Montaness. The arrangements for the annexation of the Hudson Bay Company's territories to the Dominion of Canada are so nearly complete, that Mr.

Rose, the Finance Minister, is on his way to England to consummate the transaction by the payment of the purchase money, 300,000, It Is nnderstsod that a royal proclamation authorising the transfer will be lamed immediately after the arrival of Mr. Rose, Whatever may be ths destiny of the Provlnocs-tbere Is little doubt, we suppose, of their olUmat absorption into our Republic the people of the United States must always bsve a direct Interest la every thing landing to their material development. To oar frontier settlements In tbe North-west the opening to settlement of the vast territories hitherto held by tbe Compeny will be aa event of great importance, for it Is pretty certain to be speedily followed by the establishment of railroads and other Channels ot trade connecting these remote regions with the rest of the Dominion, as well ss with our own lines of communication; and a road through to the Pacific Is already contemplated by the Canadian authorities. AN.lmportsnt controversy la agitating ths usually placid bosoms of our loyal eotem-porartes. It is all about the origin of Read's poem about BHxarDAB 's ride from Winchester.

One Insists tbst tbe inspiration waa received at RxAn's own house; another, that it was picked out of a dirty eastern pictorial in somsbody else's premises; while a third Insists thst the eagle eye of the poet found the pictorial snggestlon aforesaid La a shop-window, And then, ss if all this were not bewildering enough, while one authority assarts that ths fine frenzy of composition wai stimulated by a cup of oo flee, another Is equally positive that ths Inspirational medium was tea -and green tea at that. We have no positive knowledge that would enable ns to settle tbe momentous question, the entanglement of which Is further complicated' by a Fifth-street market-huckster, who sends us a confidential note averring that, to bis poslUvs personal knowledge, the great poum was written immediately after the author had absorbed, at one of the stalls In that popular publle resort, an unusually liberal drink of small potatoes-his favorite beverage. When some friend of a ruined woman, or the victim herself, resorts to ths knife or pistol to avenge her wrongs, It is ths custom of most of the newspapers to Indulge Ip dreary homilies npon the duty of seeking Justloe nn-dsr the lorms of law, rather than to take it by the strong hand. A fair Illustration of ths manner La which Justloe would be done In toch ceaee, Is gives In a jut pnbusbed latter totneuovernor or lnaiaav written by one RoBSBTfEjuMxaTox, letter says that In March, M8, the writer's daughter became engaged In marriage to Bknjahis BvaAits, who afterward sedaeed her.

Tbe sentence wee passed on the SOtaef September, In the Criminal Court of Tlppeea-uoe County, and on ths 25th-nve days afterward tbe scoundrel was pardoned by that exquisite representative of tbe party of great moral Ideas, Governor BaeerI Such, a pardon aeems to be sn oatrage upon decency and It boldsaut assurance of Immunity to the perpetrators of ths vilest and meanest of crimes, and wMl, unquestionably, have the effect to induce those' who suffer from such crimes In future to take the-law into tlislr own bands. 1 Tub scamps who are called chevaliers induiMe by tbe French because they are not at atl Industrious chevaliers, but prefer tlvlng by their wtts-d1play en amount of Ingenuity In devising new expedients for extracting money from the pockets of their victims, which, if honestly directed, could haraJy fall to bring fairly-earned fortune. Their chosen Held of operations is usually a city, but ef late some have devoted themselves tq working up tbe rural dtotricts. The farmers ef Iowa have recently been extensively swindled by these fellows, in this way They pretend to be insurance agents, and Insure one man's property at alow rate, take hie netefav the amount, then go to another, leUhlmthe note at a discount, nd also insure his take his note, and so carry out their programme nutll the entire neighborhood Is fleeced, when they retire with well-lined pockets. It Is more than snobable that this sort of rascality will soon be, tried In this and the adjoining States, and our friends in the eonnsry will do weU te keep their eyes open for aerlpatetle "agents." Thhbe is a somewhat remarkableMlepo- ertlon manifest at present among the people of ertaln districts In Tennessee to leave their aid homes and seek out other locations.

We do not see, In these eases, any political reason given for emigration but It is not improoaUe that the revolution in tne labor system the outa, produced by the war and Ue bitter feaas wafch that contest Left behind kept altva, as these last have been, by the sinister counsels of imported Radical pelt- tlclans have tnfloeaeed many to make a fresh start in new scenes, Where they may be free from tbe nnpleaaant souvenirs and etrsa stances that an inseparable from their old A half starved curate the English Church gets irritated at theeomplalnt which All the papers about the wretched salaries of merchants' and bankers clerks, and writes te the Iwaav "Nepotism, political Influence, or parens, an oar ooiy pasapene ra any wung higher than the meet meager uoasabeaelea. while It sdds sons thing to disappoint ment to see lads pat over oar beads into the good livings, Let tbe clerks famembav that there are hundreds of men, la many respects their superiors, who yet have tower pay and poorsr prospects than tliemsfive." ATI of wblcb will be good ammunition ror the Liberals when they take ths field in the Impend ing war for dlsestabLUbmsnt of the Church la England. But there Is an Inexorable law of trade with which the reading of the curates and the business observation of the clerks should have made them familiar.

It Is this That aa exeesslve supply of any article win Inevitably put down and keep down Its pries. If curates and clerks' are poorly paid, It Is be cause there are too many men seeking employment a curate and clerks. The market Is glutted, and growling at employers will never remedy that difnoulty. Diminish the sopply-i-let ths superfluous hand or heads seek mors remunerative employment and the question of salary will vary speedily adj ust itself on the proper basis. THE W05PERSJ or THE WEST.

Tbe Hlgbeas atalaa la' she Called From the Springfield Republican.) The progress of the exploration among the high mountain ranges of Western America Is narrowing down the question as to where is tbe highest mountain peak in tbe republic. The Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, the letter's extension through Oregon, the Cascades, and their further extension into British' America, and Alaska, have all been contestants for this distinction and very wild statements have been made of the heights of the representative peaks of eacb of these sections. Several peaks need yet be more accurately measured before the contest Is fully closed; bnt at present California, in her Mount Whitney, carries of the palm. The mountain, which liea in the Sierra Nevada raage, in the Southern part of the State, waa ascended by M. King, one of the State geological survev, in the summer of 1866, to a point of 14,740 feet in height, whore he took accurate measurements.

Ileyond thst point the peak waa "inaccessible;" but bis skilled Judgment was that the summit rose from three to four hundred feetaboveblmi and he therefore reports Monnt Whitney as 15,000 feet high a claim which may he held to be substan tially correct. In the neighborhood of Mount Whitney are Mount Lyell, 13,217 rest nigh, Dana tsrewer TyndaU But next to Mount Whitney, In California, stands the northern part of the State, and perhapa the most magnificent anow-eovered mountain in the United States. It is 14,440 fsot high, and 1 is apparently destined, more' thsn any other mountain in the Republic, to become the object of curious interest and pleasure-seeking tot travelers. Mount Hood, its Oregon rival, and nearly its canal in beauty of shape and extent of 1 snowflelds, la but 11.22S feet high.

They are also dis tinguished for the extern ana magma-cence of their perpetual tnow-flelds. The enclycopedla put down two mountains (still further north in British Columbia) Brown and Hooker-being and 15,700 feet high, respectively; but they prove never to have been accurately and these figures are bnt the wildest guesses of snnerflctal travelers, no more to be depended npon than the claim of the Oregonlans to a height of over 17,000 for Mount Hood, which hag only been overthrown wlthin-the last three years, It is not probable that either of these peaks in BrltlNh America ascend so high as either Shasta or Whitney, in California; but still they need to be accurately measured before the question esn be held to be finally closed sgainxt them. So. too, of Mount St. Ellas in our new Territory of Alaska.

Heights of 10,000 and 17,000 feet have beon claimed by travelers, and soberly put down in books tor this grand eld volcano. But the measurement of Sir K. Belcher, which la the highest nut-forth by any one of rospect-sble authority, claims only 14,970 feet for it, and other observers make It mttih lower. The mountain has really never I been accurately measured. Thus stands the case in the Paclila Coast States and Territories.

Of the coast mountains In California, no one rises above 5,000 feet, that being the figure for Panache Grande. Mount Diablo, so conspicuous an object in the country about ban rancisco, is out reet nign. Commit east to tbe Rocky Mountains. Colorado, which holds the highest peeks of that range, nas four mountains wnion are pretty certainly between 14,000 and 14,600 feet eeeh There are Long's, (iray1- ana Ike's resits, ana Mount Lincoln. Dr.

I'arry, of St. Louis, baa made the most reliable measurement of the Colors- dine Heights; but since one the ba- rometers wnicn tie aepenaea upon tor tne- calculations waa stationed in St. Louis, there wss some liability to error in even the most accurate ofjiis figures. He-messnred the lower of the two Gray's. Peaks, and made It 14,.1 ledK The to which be endeavored to rive, the name ot Torrey's Peak, but which the people ot) voioraao join us twin in me same name of ray, is evidently from one to two hundred feet higher, but has not been accurately measured.

Pike's Peak, is reported by Dr. Parry at. 14,210 foet, and by Fremont, who ascended it, at 14,300 feet. Mount Lincoln-has never been accurately though often ascended. It Is more likely" to be.

lower than higher than Ursy'e Peaks. Dr. Parry did not succeed in' reaching the summit of Long's Peak, but made an approximate measurement which he reported at 14,036 But this-last season the first successful ascent ef the notable mountain waa made by Pro fessor Powell and Mr. Byers, of thr Rocky Mountain Xewa, and their measurement, the first reliable one ever "made, elves the figures at 14,250 feet. The New York Jfation, therefore, showed more presumption than knowledge, when itunj dertook to criticise Mr.

Bowles in his 'Switzerland of America," for not being more exact in reporting the heights of the leading mountains in Colorado. The Jiulion savs "he ought to have known that Long's Teak was 14,500 feet," whloh, 4n fact, no body did or could know outside of the Nation office. There sre numerous other peats ia Colorado of 18,000 feet snd npwsrd. Among these sre Mount Audebond. Veilles Pesk.

fMonnt Ouyot snd Parry's Peak; while those of ten, eleven ana twelve thousand feet in height lie everywhere about in the central portions of the Territory. To the west of the peaks, constituting the dividing range of the continent, lies huge mountain known on the maps as Sopri's Pesk. It seems, both from the summits of Orsy and Lincoln, to be still higher than those. It never has been measured, and though its apparent superiority may arise from the comparative lownessof the peaks direetly around it, the people of the neighborhood will not yield their possible right to claim for Colorado the highest mountain peak in the United fltsu-s, nntll an actual measurement of Sopri's Peak shall decide it against them. The question as it now stands seems, therefore, narrowed down to Sopri's Peak and Mount Wbitney in The peaks of tbe Rocky Mountain range, north of Colorado, in Montana and beyond, offer no competition those of the former Territory.

But when we annex Mexico, that country will bear off the palm, in North America for the highest mountain peaks. She has, too; Popocatepetl and Orizaba, whose heights seem to be definitely settled at 17,730 feet and 17.380 feet, respectively. There is nothing in out mountain ranges hi the Atlantic States to at all compare with any of these figures. Mounts Cllngman and Mitchell; in North Carolina, 0,940 and 0,732 feet respectively, are- the highest mountains east of the Missouri River. Mount Washington, in New Hampshire, ranks third, with a height of The highest mountains In Switzerland are Monnt Blanc and Mount Rosa, 15,775 and 15,150 feet respectively.

South America baa seversl mountain peaks, ranging from 20,000 to 25,300 feet high. Bnt the Himalayas, In South Asia, carry off the palm of the world for high mountain. There are several peaks in that range be tween 25,000 and 29.000 feet in height, Mount Everet reaching the last figure, and, to be precise, adding two feet more. These latter figures almost take one'a breath away, even to think of them. To mount the heights which they represent do it actually; for the air, at sm-h' an elevation, is so rare as to make human-existence there dangerous, if not impossible.
