HIP moral ItpcclB of tiic I.aCc Klcclions. Wbile good mcu rejoice that the re- BullH -)f the late elections haro givou a to the political future of the country, aud maiutaiucd the reins of tho Government in Ihe bauds of those, who, during the war, shielded and pre served ttio life of thu nation, there is still another and higher aspect with which to view the result of tho late vtr diet of tho people. Wo refer to itf moral bearing. It is not too much to suy that it has done more to dispel th unchristian prejudices against color thau any political result that has been re carded in our history. The great quca tiou, almost everywhere Loforelhe pco pie, WAS shall we make the colorei man equal to the white before the law in evpry state of our graud Union, tho liffirmalive decision is so positive BO mnjc'Rlic, and so overwhelming, tha even Huuh organs of immorality and ia decency, as the Chicago bav bt-eu compelled to recant past error aud to declare that it is just, fair, au democratic, that tho colored mau shoul enjoy equal civil and political right with the white mau.

It is a might; Btep forward in the right direction when the men and the argons, who hav Btood in the pathway of Christian pro greBB, come over to the right side. But in cue Btate of tbo Union, an tiat the.grentt!st and most influential there -was really the grandest of moral questions at iBsn0.

Governor Fenton had wisely signed the law, forming a board of excise, controlling the sales of beer and whisky en the Sabbath day. Under that law the frith vhibky shops aud tbe German iieor saloons were closed on Sunday. John T.

Hoffman, though the Mayor of New York, and therefore his duty to enforce the laws of the State, evinced the moral turpitude to write a letter to a committee of German infidels and beer drinkers, dec'aring that it was his deliberate opinion, that no Suuday law should bo enforced. He spoke of the desecration of the Sabbath, in consequence of these beer saloons, as a matter of no account. John T. Hoffman was subsequently nominated by the John- aou Copperhead party, under tho leadership of John Morrissoy, the gambler uud pugilist, simply because it was kuowa that Hoffman mote than any other man could secure the votes of oL that clasn of Germans who wanted to violate the American Sabbath, and turn it into a day of festive jollity. It was calculated that if Governor FENTON, who signed the law, could be jsateu, aud John T.

Hoffmau could be elected, who who was willing to rescind law, hereafter there could be no Suuday iu the city of New Tork. Well, the great trial camo off on the xlh of November, and all the rum Holes and beer saloons forced their hosts to tho polls the powers of um and beer and darkness were so troug that John T. Hoffman received lino thousand more majority in the city if New Tork thau General McClellau, me of the most popular men who ever ived in that city. It is a sud fact that from four thon- andto live thousand Germans who iriginally voted the Keptiblicau ticket, iroved that Ihc-y cared more for beer, rather for Sunday jollity, than they lid for by deliberately voting or John T. Hoffman.

After thu terrific vote which was cast New York and Brooklyn for rum, beer nd copperhead principles, it was sup- osedthut it would be sufficient to more linn counterbalance the strong vote of ho country. But fortunately such was ot the result. The people of this ouutry have not yet become so demor- lized in to say that there shall no onger be an American Sunday.

What unique theory of morals these Demo- aLic journals and when the Russian gets possession of Turkey, he will render the Garden of the World a much more charming country for its inhabitants than it now The Crimean war was a blunder on the part of England and France, and we do not think they will repeat that blunder, even if Russia assails Turkey. But a wise statesmanship always le'ds the greatest of nations to provide against the greatest of contingencies. The Czir Nicholas had no European ally in his Turkish war of 1854, but the, Czar Alexander is wiser than his and, if the report be correct, he has already secured the alliance of the most powerful military monarchy in Europe, to assure success to the next invasion Turkey.

General Doo- littlu was killed while attempting, at the head of his division of tho army, to storm a negro battery. The utter si- leuce as to Mr. Doolittle's whereabouts since the election, will give some credence to this report. The Editor of the Janesville Gazette has really perpetra- trated one of the most readable articles of theseason.and the politicians of eytry class, will so conaede. Political.

Sloan's majority two years ago was 4193; the Republicans have thus gained 803. John B. Brisbiu, chairman of the state democratic committeeof Minnesota, is out in a letter expressing his individual opinion that the South should accept the constitutional amendment.

The Democratic leaders evidently begin to see that their party is doomed unless they infuse into it something like just principles. The La Fayette County (Wis.) Democrat, just previous to election, had this startling announcement: the Radicals succeed in tin's election, your corn will not be worth husking." As the Democrat did not tell its readers how the snrcsss of the "Ridicals" was to destroy the value of corn, we will explain that it probably meant that the defeat of the Democracy would vastly Of the terrible conflict which raged in some' of the Northern on the Gth we have'only space to moke note of the cnllantpart which the Badger Boys played in the great drama, and publish a list of the killed, wounded aud missing, for the benefit of mourning relatives and friends. Tiie battle commenced on Tuesday morning at nine o'clock and raged fury until the going down'of the sun. The slaughter of the confederates was very great aud ia many places the heaps of dead aud woutded reminded one of the terrible scenes of Shiloh and Pea Ridge. The enemy went into the tight with his usual impetuosity, and the same old yell of "death to the nig- gori" made tho welkin ring; but bis pluck availed him nothing, and after the most unparalleled losses, he surrendered, leaving all his dead and wounded in our hands.

St. Paul Pioneer, the leading organ of the Minnesota Democracy, repudiates the doctrine of impartial suffrage which the Chicago Times has just taken to preaching, and Bays that "the Times is not the organ of, nor has it any authority to speak for the Northwestern Democracy." The Pioneer and other of the lesser lights of the Democracy may protest against the new teachings of the Times, but of one thing they can rest assured, and that is that the principle of impartial suffrage is bound to prevail, aud the Democracy have not the shadow of ft chaace for success so long as they fight and pro test against it. It is the superior sagacity of the Times which has discovered this, and not its desire to advocate just principles. Boston Transcript furnishes the following excellent photograph of the situation: A distinguished Democratic politician yesterday morning approached a gentleman from New York with an extended band and buid: 'I noncratnlatn von heartily on the noblo 1 A was made a urij.ir-general by Washington in 1790, was elected United States Senator in Ijf93, holding the years only, when he resigned on account of ill The second of the nutne was Theodore Frelingbuysen, who was Senator from New Jersey from 1826 to 1835; was subsequently Chancellor of the University New York; was a candidate for the Vice-Presidency in 1814, with Henry Clay; was for many years president of American Bible Society, and dually ended his public life as president of Rutgers College.

The vote on tho proposition to call constitutional convention, and tbe vote on tho amendment to the banking law, lave been so carelessly reported, or so frequently omitted in the returns, that it is difficult to form any correct estimate of the result of the election in regard to these From returns far received, it seems certain that the imendraent to th banking law has been adopted by a large msjority, while the proposition for a constitutional convention ia in doubt.

Thus released, devoted himself to the work of his fe, which he has at List carried brough.

Circulars are also quite in favor, particularly those made with a military cape, which rounds in front, and is usually trimmed with heavy fringe.

No doabt the claim of some of heirs will eventually be recognized in the courts. Anneke Jans, who lived in New York when it was iu the possession of the Dutch, is said to have belonged to the royal family, and to have obtained a rrant from the King of Holland a ract of land on the first site of the city of Nsw York, extending from what is i known as Warren street to Christopher street. This probably about the-beginning of the 'l-7th century. It is held by the heirs of this kdy, that when New, York fell into English hands the above grant and that a lease of the lands severed by it was made to the Trinity Church.

After tbe lease had expired, it is contended tbat Trinity continued to hold the lands in question, and thai its continuance in possession was au il legal N. Y.

The London Times of October 30th, sajs, "The third week of the scientific examinations of the British barrows in Yorkshire has been spent by the Rev. William Green well of Durham, and with him Captain Egerton of Leedes- borough, Vr.

Nels, tbe Rtv. F. Simmons, rector of Daltou, the Rev. Canon Musgrave, rector of Etton, and others, on the Goodmanham Wolds, near Enthorpe, on the estates of Lord Lon- desborongh. A group of barrows of various sizes wars opened' varying from twelve to forty yards in diameter, and from one and a half feet to six feet high, all.being more or less ploughed down.

They were situated on rising and sloping ground in one of the smaller wold valleys, and probably the whole- groap of burial mounds number about thirty. Of these, some were opened in 4809 and many others at dif- fereut timts since then. All are made of soil, mixed with flint, and chalk, and sometimes very large pieces or blocks of flint. The result of tbe openings showed that nearly all the bodies were burnt, and also that the b-ruiugs had been made oa the spot, an unusual circumstance ily previously found in the examica km of the small tumuli at Mrs. Mary McBennett secured a verdict of $3.000 damages against the New York 2d avenno railroad, for injuries unstained by her in being thrown off a car, which the conductor started wuile sho waa in tho act of slopping out.

Another style is of blue and white striped tufted clotb, which has a wavy appearance. It ia made iu a short loose sack, without trimming, and is neat and pretty. These are all imported cloaks. There are very many ladies who, while admiring the various styles of imported cloaks, a-e ye.t rather strict They have an eye to comfort more than style.

For such the circular, with or without tbe cape, the loose sack, or the pointed half circular or baeqnine is belter adapted and is far more serviceable, particularly for country wear.

The wholesale has been rather dull, which'is accounted for by the fact that most retail those from the last year a supply greater the demand, and, conse- jnenlly, now have a considerable stock on hand. The prices do not vary mnch 'roni those of a year ago, though the value of tbe more elegant furs ia a trifle "ess.

The fur collar, known as the ige- nie," which is tqaare in" front, with is the leading style cf its class It is made up in erminp, sable, mink, chinchilla and Siberian squirrel. Tbe aoa is to be fashionable, and will be worn, bnt not extensively. It is very expensive, costing as mnch and collar. Ermine sets will be much-used for evening wear. They can not be worn on all occasions, as mink ani sable, but are far better adapted for pleasant autumn days, as weil'as for evening, and are more appropriate for tbe first days of spring.

The highly important feature.

Barrow No. 4 showed tbat the body was placed before burning in precisely the some position as the non-cremation people placed their bodies in the The burnings had been very imperfect and the body was bnt charred, the bones showing the doubled-up position admirably. This seemed a remarkable and important discovery, showing that the custom of contracting the body for burial as adopted by the supposed ab- orignes was continued by the later race, who burnt the body and collected the fragmeats. "The pottery found during the week was also remarkable. Several urns were found accompanying the burnt burials, but none of them contained burnt bones, and with one exception were miniature cinerary urns, and not like those which accompany burnt bodies.

There was also a similar absence of flint implements, both with tbe flies and in the- material of the bones, and what was further remarkable, the searehings made in the adjoining, fields showed that flint chippiaga and implements were particularly scarce -in the surface soil. The researches, however, were on the whole, of a peculiar nature and of great interest." "The barrow first opened was sixteen yards in diameter and four feet high. Four and a half yards east of the center, and a little above natural surface, an nrn was met with measuring eight inches in height, the rim overhanging and marked with punctured markings in the clay, arranged in squares of nine impressions. This urn was empty and upright, and about one foot west of it a second urn, also upright, was found, the pottery being quite plain, bnt the rim overhanging. The bottom of this second urn was on a level with the top of the first.

Both urns were surrounded with burnt earth, mixed sparingly with charcoal, and both were placed amul singularly scanty remains of burnt bodies, of which the first was of a young person, the second much younger, a mere child. The center of the house yielded nothing, the bodies having been burnt and interred on the same places. Two chippings of foreign flint and one long scraper, "thumb flint," very like the type of the oue found with the red urn in Ganton barrows, were tbe only implements found iu the barrow. Tbe body, in another case, was placed in a hole of three feet diameter, a cist sunk into the ground, and around it was a great redness aud mnch sign of burning. Here was a connecting link between the inhumation and cremation customs, showing that the method of burial uniformly adopted in the former, was also that in use in the latter, prior to the application of the fire; in fact, the latter people prepared their body for burial just as tbe early people deposited theirs in the ground, in the customary doubled up or contracted position.

In the hope, also, were found a flint core, from wQich implements had been struck, and a qnar pebble which bod been used as a pounder or hammer, all broken round the edges for counterpart of the one found behind tbe head of an unbnrnt body in one of the Weaverthmpe borrows. "The barrow opened of this series was a retnrn of the cremation type. The house was twenty-three yards in diameter and one and a half fret high. In tbe centre was a cist, three feet deep by. two feet three inches in diameter, evidently made before the body was burnt, the burnt bones chiefly remain- D.
