Constitutional government cannot be maintained if it is not conceded that both parties are equally patriotic. They established as their Jtit that when one party docs not serva us as well sa A think we ought to be served, we are at perfect liberty to try the other.

One wm October SS. 1 General Crook had to beg Bam Morris-sod hi friends to lei him aloa.

Barn's vindication was more dreaded by the General than Brittons popularity. Stephen Coluhan is already spoken of as tbe next Speaker of the Assembly. Iolk-ticians loaa no time. 1 Counsel and a good District Attorney art good things, but than aU three there is something that comes closer tons all. That lomething is the Immediate protection of our lif and of the property whereby, a Sbjlork has It, sustain our life.

That immediate protection we depend upon the police to give. That protection is precisely what thu police of Brooklyn do not give. When poorTorrino was murdered mi on of our public avenue, th 3ufiD.tr 8ri stated that bis murderer never would be apprehended. He never has been, The Police to-day are as ignorant about tbs causes and tbs perpetrator of the deed as we ere. No man knows but his turn tnay come next.

Of undetected burglars, highway robbers and sneak thieves ws could fiU columns. Is it not time, having gotten rid of the Hoxie contracror, that we got rid of a police administration which if less corrupt is far more inefficient. If ws can not got rid of General Jourdan as we did of General Dix, can not we In some way supplement him with a sort of prime minister We certainly could better afford to pay for an able man than we can afford to do with- I out one. irwinS-'-J it'r agricultural portion of our country, through the disorganization of its laboring class, whose Ignorance must render reorganization, under their new status, not only extremely difficult, but correspondingly slow. They are, in part, also tho reeult of false theories of finance, radicalized to aid corruption and the reckless extravagance noted.

These theories cannot be tuddenty reversed la practice and in principle without danger. AU that at present can come from Democratic victory I the stoppage of the mistreatment of both the South and tlfc finances of the country. These must be stopped by the Administration, in a self-defence which the late elections have at last shown it to have come to Well have no more Credit Mobiliers, no more Hoxie contracts, no more Louisiana, usurpations. Carpet-cogging will lessen in Influence. But while all this will check the increase of A hard it can do no more.

It is not unlU the executive powers of the Government coma into the hands of the party, in conjunction with its legislative ones, that positive relieve can come. This cannot Come to tho Democratic Party.UU after 70, If it does not then come, it will simply because the party will, in the interim, have neglected to properly use tho power given to It by the last State elections.

The Doctor then naked him to take some beer.l tinny voten wiii doubtless be diverted from Tilden to Dlk iu th Oounty on account of no plain an issue being raised against Dix. As an impartial friend of both parties, we again ask would it not hare been better not to bare run Mr, Britton until Gorernor Dix in out ot office! Th Hnlt la ILlag Caaty. In tbs late election, Kings 'County established ita right to be considered the banner Democratic County in the Slate.

The Democratic leaders Outside of Brooklyn counted on Kings for majority at beet of seven thousand, and they would not have complained if it had given no more than five thousand. The majority actually given readies nearly thirteen thousand twice as large as was anticipated by anybody. The majority against Dlx is In part explained by the intense local pride which characterizes our people. Dix aroused It by attempting tb bring odium and disgrace on one of our fellow-citizens Winchester Britton. Dr.

Basics challenged it from tho very day this empiric based his claim to favor on his abuse of our city and of our people. The success of every one of the local Democratic candidates is as remarkable as the great majority for the head of the ticket. It rarely happens that some particular candidate on an entire ticket does not challenge opposition sufficient to secure his defeat. Under the circumstances all the Democratic candidates ran well. It is true that Mr.

Powells majority for Comptroller ran down to below two-thirds. But it must be borne in mind that he and the auditor ran on a separate ticket, and Mr. Powells antagonist was Mr. has made, concededly, a very good official even if he is a very obstinate, ungenerous and, personally, an unpopular man. Vcrleo of Dr.

Baraea in th Local Campaign. Doctor Barnes has been notable during tho late canvass for the successful and hearty support which he gave to Mr, Daniel Barnard, who received ,103 voles for District Attorney, out of a poll of 04,000, and Mr. fimotky Desmond, the most amiable man in Brooklyn, who received just 18 votes for Commissioner, of Charities. The Doctor, the rirffK; the Fifty, and tho entire National (Jommlttee, enthusiastically supported these gentlemen, who account for the great run they made, entirely by the hearty support tfcey received. The Doctor not only opened his columns" to them but furnished them with most of their votes, he having issued directions that any Argun carrier who refused do vote for Barnard and Desmond siduld be docked 100 papers of tbe number In 1851, Horatio Seymour, from the itage of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, opened the apoech which elected him Governor that year, with these memorable words Two week ago the Democratic party pok as a minority.

Within these two weeks we have carried the States of Indiana, Penn- syjlvanla and Ohio the Democratic party speaks as a majority to-day. A month ago the Democracy hoped, at best, to come through the elections of this year with strength sufficient to enable them to go into the Presidential election on something like even terms with their political opponents. Within the month a large majority of the States of the Union have passed under Democratic control Massachusetts, for the first tlmo within forty years, being numbered in the long bead-roll of the Stales which have arrayed themselves agalust Republican rule, as it is exemplified through General Greats administration. More important still, in a political sense, the House of Representatives has passed into Democratic hands, and the arrogant, haughty, truculent and imperious majority, which for fifteen years treated the opposition with contemptuous defiance, now goes Into a minority. It Is not yet ten years since Thad Stevens insolently proclaimed, when urging one of his reconstruction measures There are fifty Republican lawyers on this floor hoping to find some warrant for this legislation In the Constitu-tionof the United States.

They know, and I know, that there Is no justification for it In that instrument, and tlio lawyer who says there is, must be a dd fool." After the fourth of March next, the Congressman who should to make a declaration like this to proclaim that the will of a majority party is above the fundamental law would be laughed at, and ridiculed out of his seat in the House of Representatives. This Is a great gain, and a great gain for Constitutional government. The political consequences of this change in the political complexion of the House of Representatives, under the present Circumstances, cannot be overestimated. For fifteen years every department of the government has been in the hands of one political party, and that party had unchecked ascendency, and treated the idea that it could be overthrown, within the present generation, as chimerical. The period referred to has been one of boundless and, In consequence, of utiprecedented'venality.

The affairs of all departments of the government will now be overhauletT and examined, not by friendly committees, anxious not to find anything wrong, or to excuse any wrong thatforced itself upon their attention, but by au unfriendly and hostile ioo Monday, November 1, (he Dootor, In mo ment of stimulated oouragti, proscribed tbe folio-iOtf! iWIth such an array of facte ae were preaenfced against tble man upon bte trial, his coming before the pttbtia at this time for diecuMlniia one of the most impudent things upon records The charity which the press has extruded him undorths circumstances, has been owing to a conddeuce In the InteUIgeuee of the people, rather than from he infant to write to any eontidemce regained in Brittons'1 Ws were in nopes that he would see the new disgraoe which his branen defiance of publid sentiment would bring upon bin) and quietly withdraw from the sight uf decent nen, and we have said but little In regard to him.

How to Woo a Widow. An indignant widow has been suing Park Commissioner Haynes, aged seventy-three, for assault and battery, The widow, who is. a pretty also alleges that the Pork Commissioner expressed towards her intentions not strictly honorable." The widow stated her case to a reporter on one of tho local dailies. She told it with a frankness akin to that of the lovely daughter of Maria Monk. The widow says that in the greenness of youth she fell in love at first sight.

She fell in love with a sea captain, whom she knew to be wealthy. The ingenuousness of the avowal is charming! With her beloved and wealthy husband she came, from Liverpool, her birth-place, to Brooklyn, the destined home of her maturer years and more perfected beauty. There her husband Introduced to her Mr. Haynes. The husband went in tbe war; and the widow was lonely.

Mr. Haynes oft called to console; and the widow admits that he was always very agreeable. The sailor husband died. The consoling friend suggested' his house as a fit house to mourn in. The widow had Nature had made her suspicions.

She ref UBcd to go, under the hallucination that Mr. Haynes wanted to make love to her, and had an, eye on her money. There is nothing in this wide world more suspicious than a pretty widoW with a fortune. The widow did not go and an additional reason she gives for not gbingisthat, in her opinion, Mr. Haynes is old and ugly and she didnt want to be led astray." Well the widow started for Europe, stayed away three months and returned.

Then she met 3ftr. Hendall another cose of Tove at first sight. Hendall was "yeung and handsome. She married him. The widow, on her return, 'rented her a store from Haynes, in which her husband started business.

The widow says she would have gotten along very well then, but liases commended his tricks" again, It is now his duty to resign from the Democratic ticket, if not, it will be the duty of every honest to vote against Mr. Chittenden to-moc? row. Fellow citloens of the Third District: If 8. B. Chittenden is to ffibttww candidate for Congress, Tbe State Campaign, One of the shrewdest party workers in the State remarked, at Syracuse, the night Samuel J.

Tilden was nominated as tbe Democratic candidal for Govarnort I think he is the strongest candidate we could have nomiuated; he is weaker to- day before the people than he will be any other day between now and the election. It is a nomination that will wear well." The prcdlctiou was well founded. Tilden grew in popular strength every day. His record was without a stain. In his political principles he has been among the most consistent of all the.

public men in tills State. The principles of Jefferson, tho practices of Jackson found in him an expounder and defender in times when he stmed to the more impassioned tc- It is your bounden dut to Vote for Ostrander and Cocbeu, and against Mr. Chittenden this matter ejrery day. As 100 Arguses weigh 10 pounds, apd as they still for 2f cents a pound, several carriers, voted the National ticket rather than be opt 25 cents. In the mattor of the support of Britton and Chittenden, the Doctor was also very happy.

He exhibited the finest example of implicating systems and elevating individuals which, even he has yet shown, and when the systems" which he Implicated," elevated" the Individuals," the Doctor came to time, a little groggy, but a smile" which haunts the alleged soul" of Mave. rick still. In bis articles on Mr. Britton, Doctor Barnes assumed every form of journalist when inspired by bitters. 'He was the ponderous "leader writer, the gliding paragraphlst, the lively local and tho respected correspondent," writing lotters himself Jn a manner Mr.

Toot would have envied to be able to have done. It was much the Bame in his treatment of Mr. Chittenden. The Doctor used up the sharpened end of forty and bit up the blunt end of four hundred more in his mental search for' judicial points' and imputations" upon Mr. Chittenden.

last winter, in the Annexation Committee, Mr, Cliittendeu culled Demas an ass, and this now stands. The Doctor had previously said: Mr. Chittenden was put in nomination by Gene 7 ral Slocum, a Back Pay Member of Congress, who needs to be purged of his offence, and he is handi- bbt say much i ICrooxb. Htf looks downcaat, but doo much. i 4 He looks raccks as' ever, but dto.not .7 much.

Samuel JJTilden bo-report of the investigations to be instituted lfevea in the principles of the Democratic capped by the men who Influenced his selection for motives they do not disavow. These motives are distinctly, that under his name they hope to make a Republican diversion in favor of their ticket, and so place in office the tools whom they have selected to do tbelr work in Kings County. The people will have to examine this suojeot carefully, and, least of all, give no encouragement to a movement which is calculated to promote the eleotion of unworthy men. Mr, Ostrauder is competent for this position, and he ought not to be saorifloed to advance the claims of local nominees.

I tT 1 1 When Chittenden was elected by 6,000 majority and Mr. Britton by neariy that figure, the Doctor was in the dumps. But he soon came up smiling, hip Cheeks standing out with the quantity of dirt even he found difficulty in Swallowing. However, he swallowed ft, and then safe down and wrote the following articles with great animation of spirit the day after 1 A party as a devotee does in his religion.

Winchester britton. Mr.

Britton has been fairly elected District-Attorney of the county. His friends felt that he rAb a very great risk in being a candidate at this time, knowing that hi nomination was a challenge of Governor Dixs Action and that he could not poll his party vote. The result has proven that at any ordinary eleotion their advice was well given, he having run behind the Governor on the some ticket about 8,000 votes. He now has tbe opportunity of securing a vindication from the people by bringing to the office that vigUanoe and care of the pubUo interest demanded of a prosecuting officer, which a mere election to tbe office does not secure. In a city with a population of nearly a half-million people there wili congregate a large elasa of sviVdlspoeed persons.

Private property aud public interest are constantly en-uangered. In tins particular city, a system of public peculation has grown into glaring abuse, tpou the District-Attorney devolves the duty and the power of agu-rdiaushipof the people's right? Mr. Britton has already Buttered tne misfortune To-morrow the case of the people against Frank Moulton, and that of the people against Theodore Tilton both for slander, will be called. It is not believed, however, that either case will then go to Most decent people, hope that neither never may. Weve had enough of it of having been in conflict with the people upon tue definition of tne District-Attornes duty, and doubtless be will now gladly avail himseif of their disappeared, and with him, tho widow says five thousand dollars of her money.

That closed up the store. Haynes 'now had the coast all clear. Ho wooed the widow, now a grass as well a3 an actual widow, and her description -of his wooing beats anything out of Dickens, where probably he got the idea. Tho 'widow says He wanted to come and live with me. Ha offered her a horse and carriage, and he would pay the rent of the house into which she had moved.

The widow remained unmoved. She wouldnt have him af any price. Rents was of no use and carriages was in wain. At last Haynes hit upon one of the most romantic and beautiful ideas to he found in the adventures of Nicholas Nickelby. He offered the widow, if she would consent to living wltb him, to send Jots of vegetables to tbe house, Doubtless, ho thought tbe ruddiness of tbe boot would make amends for the absence of color in his own cheeks, and the mellow richness of tbo parsnip atone for tbe dryness of age.

Women have been wooed with moss-roses and Jasmin hut they were maidens. This was a widow, and an eminently practical one. So Haynes tendered the more solid productions of the garden. But beets like rents was of no use, and parsnips like carriages was in wain. So the next time Haynes met thi widow, thinking if well shaken she migf be taken, he shook her; and for the shaking eke sued him.

There is nothing new.iff'aa animal, In speaking as he did. An examination of what the good Doctor wrought out about Mr, Britton and Mr. Chittenden when they were running, and after they were elected, will show how events impress tlicmselycb on what he is pleased to call his mind. i On Friday, October S3, joat aftec Mr. Britton bad been nominated, tbe Dootor, in a' moment ot Bitter reflection, and much aid from Maverick, got off tbe following In bia oapaoHy aa an eoho of tbe day.

i i Mr. Britton wUhe the people to vindicate" him bj re electing him. Tbe people will do any thing reasonable to oblige Mr. Britton, as soon as thy bare elected a District-Attorney whe does not need yindioxttiog. After this had been read to the staff" and a reporter had been-severely reprimanded fob saying that )' he didn't see it," it was printed.

Emboldened by his success, the Dootor on the same day became what he calls a recorder of developments, and varied the roU with that of an implicator of systems1 in the following: We are simply compelled to chronicle publlo events, and speak of candidates in a manfier not to forfeit the confidence felt in us as a publlo journal. Here the Doctor hutrged himself in his plural capacity. He also represented the vonfi deuce reposed in us" by drawing a cipher Ws beiieve oud know that many of toe leaders of the party look at this nomination as we do. They say that it was forced upon them, after having tried to resist it. The barium which was made to insure eucoess In so boid'and audacious a deiianoe of public sentiment said to hare becu this.

Confederates from both parties Joined In it. The era ts were to have tbe office of District-Attorney and the Republicans tbe office of Comptroller. Lnder this pUnJtfr. Powell is to be defeated for Comptroller arid Mr. Catlm is to be defeated for District-Attorney.

The Doctor explained this to Mavennk as being a desire to veonctute Catiin and 1 gtmtiemen are of course not ware of tne part they are to pay in the name, but Chat it is now tbe istention of tne wire puiters is very certain. Mr. bohroeder being a more ex- Republican party, as now organized. 1 The Democratic gains of the year in the Senate are hardly less significant than those In the Lower nouse of Thq Republican loaders fancied that, no matter what change might come to pass in public sentiment, within tbe next ten years at least, their ascendency in the Senate was assured. The Forty -fourth Congress -will open with Republican majority of but ten in the United States There are nearly twice ten members of the Senate who represent nothing, hut the venal political period which followed tho war and reconstruction.

These men have no political convictions. They are Republicans only because they find their profit in belonging to the dominant party. Tbe 'scallywags" who at present misrepresent Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina, and oiie or two other Stales, in part, will make indecent basto to joint tbe ranks of tbe party which will have postn.asterships, revenue officials-, and Custom House and Navy Yard employes at their disposal; and tho tide is drifting iu one direction too plainly to permit these fellows, to make any mistake. The sparsely settled States of the Far West are represented, in the main, by Senators who purchased their seats. They would he of no value to them from the moment they arrayed themselves against the other two branches of the government.

They will take great care not to Now that Ben. Butler is relieved of the cares of public business, he will have ample time to aid Mr. Morris in the noble work of proving Mrs. Tilton to be whaf, in the words of Planche, sho hadn't ought to be. It is almost tbe only fitting occupation left him now.

At the meeting which he addressed last evening be accepted tne situation lu the right spirit, kills was meant levate the Individual Hi promised the vigilance for tne interests of the putuio which it has a rlgat demand, in this spirit Mr. Bnt- -ton sill be met and sustained by the public.

Wa do not know a mail in the eouuy who antagonized Mr. Brittons official eourse from other than puuiio reasons Mistaking the wishes of a few persons who control policies in Brooklyn for ihe I sentiments of tbe people, has been the error of many officials, ibis is meant to implicate the system. When they learn to correct mat error fbey will find that the people will be their friends Mr. Britton aid start ou ms new oareer in office under the advantage of an implied uiHieratandiog that be views his duties as here deliued, and in so performing them ne will hud the pre and the people as one io sustain him. Tho opponents of Wincnestor Britton seek consolation in tbe remark that he ran behind his liekiK, Sam Morris pud his crowd ran ahead of theirs.

It wis a tin kettle, and they are ahead of it yet. Sams barber has raised bis foe five cents. He says that Sams face Is two inches longer since tbe elect ion. S. B.
