THE CHARLESTON MUNICIPAL ELEC
TION—ITS LESSON.
If we mistake not, the whites of Charles
ton registered more than two hundred in
excess of the negroes, and yet, a pestilent
interloper and agitator named Pillsbury
has defeated for the mayoralty Mr.
Lesesne, an old and most estimable Caro
linian. Not only did the whites out-regis
ter the blacks, but numbers of the better
disposed of the latter were anxious to cast
their ballots for Lesesne. The result of
the election, then, must be surprising to
many who might well have augured a dif
ferent issue. It seems very evident that
there are many white men in Charleston
who are attache. I to the Radical party, and
we learn from the Mercury that a number
of negroes who wished to vote for Lesesne
were" ruthlessly driven from the polls
by ruffians of their own color, or so
thoroughly intimidated that they r efiained
from voting altogether. Now, it appears
to us that this Charleston election may well
cause us to be apprehensive of Augusta.—
Here, the blacks are considerably ahead of
the whites on the lists of registry. Not a
tithe of the labor expended in Charleston
has, if report speaks truth, been employed
in Augusta. Besides, have we not reason
to suppose that, at least, one hundred of
those wno are registered as whites will, for
the sake of gain or some emolument, vote
against the interests of the city and help
swell the Radical majority with which we
are now contending? There seems to be
an easy sort of security dwelling in the
minds of those who have this mattei
more actively in charge. Is the security
well founded, or is it only one of those
pleasant delusions which frequently lie
guile the sanguine and incautious? We
hope our friends reckon upon their
auxiliaries of success with some show of
sound judgment and some unmistakable
evidences of discretion ; but we warn them
that they had better not take for granted
what may be still in doubt, but go to woik
as if they were far from being out of the
woods apd witli a determination to risk
nothing foolishly. Wc leave it to each in
dividual property holder to deal with those
he employs and nourishes who are now
armed with a powerful ballot. If the ne
groes have won in Charleston by the game
of intimidation, it will be hard if those
who have the same weapon in tenfold
puissance cannot beat them at their
own trick. We very much prefer that
there shall be perfect freedom in the exer
cise of suffrage, on all hands; but if a cor
rective lias to be applied on the side of
those most interested in good government,
they will be mad as March hares if they do
not exercise their authority to the utmost.
In the election of last April, we heard many
brave promises which, we believe, were in
very few instances fulfilled. Let us see how
many will lie made at this time, and wheth
er they are made of the same windy mate
rial as those of old. Fellow-citizens, re
member the Charleston election, and, if you
are not now specially alert, you will ere
long 1 ave cause to bitterly and humilia
tingly remember your own.
Our New York Correspondence.
New Yohe, NovomUor 0
The result In this State illustrates, in a
most conspicuous manner, the deep and im
placable hostility which a large number of
our citizens,' of both parties, feel for Mr.
Seward, the Secretary of State. In 1860,
Mr. Seward made a speecli against the Rad
icals, and predicted their defeat by 40,000
majority. The result was the re-election of
Gov. Fenton by 15,000 majority. The next
year, from open hostility to the Republican
party, Mr. Seward changed and became its
warmest supporter, and a defeat by nearly
50,000 majority was the result. The more
pronounced Republicans were suspicious of
something, and would not vote. This year
they made a desperate effort to elect “ Mon
itor” Griswold, but the Radicals gave him
the cold shoulder; for weeks the Tribune,
scarcely mentioned his name, and he run so
heavily that the State was lost to Grant,
although Hoffman is 20,000 ahead of the
electoral ticket. The difference between
Hoffmgu’s and Seymour’s majorities is, how
ever, due wholly to the action of Democrats,
either in refusing to vote for electors at all,
or voting direct for Grant, At every poll
large numbers were observed to throw
down the electoral ticket and refuse to vote
it. It will be found, when the official re
turns shall come in, that the electoral vote
is much smaller than the Gubernatorial,
instead of larger, as is usually the case.—
The increased majorities in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and the loss of California,
represent, precisely as may be, that unset
tled political feeling which, though opposed
to Republican recklessness of expenditure
and disregard of constitutional obligations,
was not quite ready to accept Democratic
success, and which, rightly directed, might
have received a Conservative success. But
it is useless to enlarge upon what might
have beeu. The future must attract the
attention of practical men.
It is evident from the result of the late
election in the Southern States, that they
can now afford to take General Grant at
his word, and respond promptly and effec
tively to his invocation, “ Let us have
peace.” If they will do this we can have in
the next House a Democratic majority. Let
the carpet-baggers, and the scallawags, and
the negroes do their worst, it is evident
that they have not suliicient physical or
moral stamina to maintain themselves. The
history of parties is full of occasions in
which they have been defeated by the ex
pedients adopted to secure success.
It must be remembered that anew census
will be taken in 1870, when a vast change
will be made in the centre of political
power. The great West, which has voted
unanimously Republican, will be greatly
strengthened at the expense of the remain
der of the Union. The-border States will
be especial sufferers under the 14th amend
ment, and New York city from its large
alien population. Therefore it is plain that
we get rid of issues arising out of the late
war, and respond practically to practical
ideas. The West can only be reached by
the Democratic party, through financial
issues, taxation of Federal bonds, reduc
tion of the tariff, and similar matters, and
it becomes us at once to pave the way for
bringing such issues to the front.
BUSINESS MATTERS —COTTON.
The money panic has practically ceased,
and appears to have been brought to an
end by rumors of measures of relief from
the Treasury Department. But while the
state of the money market has had little
effect upon cotton it is quite plain that a
crisis has been reached in the market for
that staple, which factors at once under
stand and act upon. Stocks have begun
to increase at all points, and there is a sud
den termination of speculative confidence.
Operators here begin to talk of a decline in
Liverpool to 9d. and perhaps and to
talk of it is h great means of promoting it.
This means as low’ as 20 cents in this mar
ket There is no doubt, however, that this
decline will be followed by a reaction at no
distant period in the crop year, but in the
meantime will not those engaged in moving
the crop find it to their advantage to go
with the tide ? The planter who has push
ed his crop to market is all right.
WHAT A FASHIONABLE DRY GOODS STORE
IS IN NEW YORK.
The world of fashionable lady shoppers
is on the qui vine in anticipation of the
' ening to the public of anew drygoods
store in all its vast proportions. The store
in question, as it now is, covers a space
of about two acres, presenting on Broad
way a front of 200 feet, and extending back
a distance of about 300 feet, while it rises
above to the height of eight stories* inclu
sive of the basement and sub-basement.
The crowning ornament of this extensive
edifice is, however, the dome, which, siity
by one hundred feet in dimension, rises to
the height of the building, where it is lit by
an arched mosaic skylight of the richest
design, while the floor beneath is composed
of trrouud glass, which in its turn gives
light to the basement below. This spacious
dome is supported by iron pillars, beauti
fully ornamented, which weigh from eight
to ten tons apiece. Immediately under the
dome is an oblong counter, allotted exclu
sively to the sale of kid gloves, and one
may form an estimate of the extensive scale
upon which the affairs of this vast estab
lishment will be conducted, when we state
that the retail sales in this department
alone amount to a half million, and require
the services of twenty clerks. And as an
additional item of interest, we may add
that the number of employees number about
2,000. Os these, a considerable number are
women, whose especial duty will be to at
tend upon the lady customers ; and it may
furthermore be of interest to ladies from
more rural localities (and what city is not
rural in comparison with New Aork ?) to
know that one may enter this establishment
in any costume whatsoever, and emerge
therefrom a fashionable city lady, complete
ly refitted irom head to foot, with the ex
ception only of her shoes. Dressing rooms
are provided, where the old may be laid
aside and the new put on—both undergar
ments of every description, ready made, and
outer also, including even a Donnet, for the
millinery department is large. And fur
thermore, for the convenience of the ladies
in particular, elevators on either side are
provided, by which they can ascend to or
descend from the different stories at their
pleasure. Among other things in this
mammoth establishment, no small atten
tion is paid to upholstery, and hote.s,
steamboats, and private houses are fitted
up at a few hours’ notice. We may con
clude by saying that this retail store is
more than twice as large as any in Europe
or on this Continent.
PAINTINGS.
On the 27th of this month the Academy
of Design will be thrown open to the pub
lic. At the Brooklyn Academy, a land
scape by Bierstadt is on exhibition, which
however, does anything but credit "to the
acknowledged powers of this eminent artist.
The subject is the portrayal of the burning
crater of Vesuvius; but ip this picture there
is nothing of the grasp or boldness which
one would naturally look for from the hand
of Bierstadt. It is indeed taine and com
mon throughout, and .such as one might
expect from a painter of very moderate
ability. A flue picture is at Knoedler’s
Bougerean’s—“ Sleeping Innocents.” The
drawing and composition are excellent, and
the delicacy of the flesh tints exquisite. —
This fine work of art will be on exhibition
for a short time longer only, as it has been
sol 4pg Mr. August Belmont. AtSnedicor’s
are a large uun.qor of first class American
paintings, among which are landscapes by
George Inness, one by Constant Mayer and
sonic also by Coleman.
NEW PUBLICATIONS.
Among the new books lately issued, is
one by Harper A Brothers, entitled “ The
atrical Management In the West and South
for Thirty Years.” This is interspersed with
anecdotes by Sol Smith, the well known
actor, now retired, and whose name alone
will create a smile. This book, no doubt,
will be popular, gnd contains in its pages a
great amount of fun and hurpor. Mrs. Ann
S. Stephens, too, has sent forth to the world,
from her prolific biain, another work, “ Ma
bel’s Mistake,” the scene of which is laid
on Manhattan Island, Another work of
theatrical interest is issued also by Hurd &
Houghton, “The Tragedian,” being an es
say on the histrionic genius of the elder
Booth. Another work of a different charac
ter, but which will A>ad r by many, is
“ The Trotting Horse of America: llo\y to
Train and Drive Him, with Reminiscences
of the Trotting Turf,” by Hiram Woodruff.
As the author stood at the head of his pro
fession as a trainer and driver of trotting
horses, and as the book in question is the
matured result of forty years labor in that
line, his method may be accepted by turf
men ns very high authority,
Another work, issued by 8. D. Bru.ee, Is
the “ American Stock Book,” which will
ne sought after and studied by those who
take delight in tracing the pedigrees of
horses and the results achieved upon the
turf.
A book, which wi 11 be of interest to de
vout Catholics, is one entitled “ 4p«stolic
and Infallible Authority of the Pope,” by F.
K. Wessinger, D. D., Missionary of the So
ciety of Jesus. The chief object of this
work is, as may be supposed, to prove the
infallibility of the Pope and his apostolic
authority, and the various testimonies and
authorities in establishment of these points
are brought forward with ability and in tiie
style of an accomplished writer.

I inancial.
The following, which we take from the
money article of the New York Times , under
date of the 9lh inst., will prove of interest to
many ol our readers:
The banks show another heavy liquidation
in loans and deposits, corresponding with the
eoutinued and much, intensified money pres
sure and Stock Exchange panic through the
week, which reached a condition of things on
Friday nlteruoon amounting almost to a gen
eral crisis.
The semi-official announcement the follow
ing rooming; from Washington, that the Sec
retary of the Treasury had decided to exercise
his authority to re-issue the greenbacks with
drawn from circulation last year, or the 3 per
cent, greenback eettiQcates withdrawn or pre
sented for redemption last month, if needful to
relieve and restore confidence to the inouey
market, had almost the immediate effect of re
ducing the cost of money to the brokers from
7 per cent, in gold and a daily commission, to
7 per cent, in currency. Early in the day
some extra rates or commissions may have
heeu paid lor carrying overstocks until Mon
day, but alter 2 o’clock the offers ol balances
by*money lenders at simple 7 per cent, interest
were more than equal to the demand, and the
market left oft comparatively easy. The differ
ence in the cost of money as compared with
the severe stringency of Thursday aud Friday,
decided as it seemed to be, was not so signifi
cant of the improved state of things, ns the
prevailing reliance upon the ability and pur
pose of tiie Govci nment to afford further re
lief if necessary. The trying, not to say terri
ble, ordeal, through which the market lias
passed during the week, is illustrated by the
Hank Statement, which shows that the
further large sutu ol nearly lour and a half mil
lion of greenbacks has been “locked up” for
effect npou the Stock Exchange, making alto
gether a loss of over ten millions greenbacks iu
this direction, over and above the amounts
known to have been received by the banks in
the same time from the neighboring cities.—
The estimate, therefore, is not an extravagant
one, that Irom $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 in law
ful money has been withdrawn from the use of
the market in two weeks. On the present bank
statement the loss of currency deposits is over
ten million ol dollars, of which $4,423,000 was
drawn in greenbacks, and $5,753,000 drawn to
pay off loans and discounts to the banks them
selves. On the other hand, the banks gain
$5,82(5,000 in gold for account of depositors
and lor their own account, collected at the
Treasury for November iuterest. The net dif
ference against the general deposit lino is
$6,391,000. The net difference in favor of the
lawful money basis, greenbacks aud gold, is
$1,403,000; raising the aggregate excess of
gold and greenbacks, over the required 25 per
cent, lawful money security to the cash liabili
ties of the banks, from eight millions last Mon
day to eleven millions this morning. Hut as a
large share ol the security is now in gold, un
equally distributed tVa few of the large banks,
and therefore of comparatively little practical
use to the great body of the Clearing House As
sociation iu the adjustment of their daily set
tlements and legal tender averages, the Sec
retary of the Treasury, on being satisfied
of the critical-though wholly exceptional
—condition of the bank movement In
its relation to the money market, the de
mands of trade, aud the credit of the Govern
ment itself, made public, late on Friday night,
through the telegraphic reporter at Washington
for the Associated Press, his decision and pur
pose to relieve the market in the manner re
ferred to— if, after such an announcement, it
should be found needful. A subsequent tele
gram from Washington also intimates that he
has reconsidered his recent hasty (and in view
of the plain intent and meaning of the acts of
Congress, substituting $75,000,000 of 3 per
cents, for a corresponding amount of compound
legal tender, unwarranted) decision to the effect
that these certificates being once redeemed
coold not be reissued. As the banks in the last
fortnight were compelled to present a large
amount of this class of their Jgwlul money se
curity for greenbacks, owing to the withdrawals
and locking up of (he latter, the decision that
they could not be replaced caused an aggrava
tion of the pressure, which was only partially
relieved by the resolution of the Clearing House
to make settlements in these certificates in place
of greenbacks, or, in either or both indiffer
ently, But the difficulty is now wholly removed
by the Secretary, in connection with the timely
and sensible change' of rule by the Clearing
House Association. We give to this reversal by
the Secretary of his first decision, looking to a
contraction of the three per cents, even more
importance than to his annonneement that he
will, if need be, and as he has clear authority
to do, resort to a reissue of greecbacks to an
rfmount equal to the demandß for relief, as
against the outrageous movement in Wall
street to forestall the ordinary supply of green
backs at a critical period of the Fall and Winter
movements of produce, and of the preparations
making by onr domestic commission and
foreign importing merchants lor the Spring
trade.
The Secretary is to be commended for this
action. It is what every wise and judicious
Finance Minister should be prepared for. It
may be likened to the*repeated relaxation iu
cases of great commercial emergency and finan
cial distrust, of the Bank of England act of
1844, by authority of the First Lord of the
Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
with no distinction as to the immediate effect
in the restoration of confidence, without resort
beyond a few millions ol currency, (and in
some instances, as we believe the relief will
prove in the present case,) without expanding
the circulation at all. But there is this marked
difference in support of our Secretary of the
Treasury. He relaxes no law on the subject;
he transcends no authority; he requires from
the President of the United States, as the Bank
of England requires from the Prime Minister
of the Crowu, no pledge that an act of indem
nity will be passed on the meeting of Congress,
as on the rneetiug of Parliament, for no statute
has been violated or temporarily suspended.
The gold market was advanced 2a2>£ per
cent, on the first telegram, referred to above,
from Washington, because mention was made
that while the pressure continues the Secretary
will suspend his sales of gold to meet his wants
for currency. It might have been desirable to
Lave this promise out of his measure of relief,
but it is too well known in Wail street, that in
such case the most absurd rumors Would have
started to neutralize the announcement in re
spect to greenbacks and three per cents, to the
effect that gold sales would be continued to
large amounts. The Secretary, therefore,
adopted the oilier course to silence, in ad
vance, all such expectations, even at the hazard
of a temporary rise in gold on mere speculation
—for it is wanted at present for no other ob
ject, and will not be, before an easier money
market will authorize a fesumption of 6ales to
the extent of current customs receipts.
The trade of the past week, though interfered
with somewhat seriously, was fair for the
season, both in imports and exports and in the
receipts fpr customs. The cotton movement
is active, and at weji-sustained prieps both here
and at Liverpool. Messrs. Easton, in their
Circular of Saturday, place the receipts of the
week at 74,256 bales, the exports to Great
Britain and ttie Continent at 36,150 bales ; the
receipt* for the season 394,334 bales, against
246.163 bale# to the same date Uat seagon.
The Stock Exchange suffered severely iu ail
departments, including the public funds, and
the fluctuations were unusually violent, audup
to Friday night in the downward direction, but
there was altogether a better state of affairs at
the close on Saturday.
The Treasury Office paid out during the
week (including prepayments on Saturday,
October 61,) on the JJoyerpber gold interest,
$10,707,000 in gold, and received in gold cus
toms, $1,971,000.

Election in Charleston.
The various voting precincts in the city were
crowded yesterday at an early hour. Notwith
standing tho rain that prevailed there was a
long line of voters at each precinct with um
brellas of every description, aud without uni
brdWs. At Ward No. 2 there assembled a large
crowd of colored men, every one armed with
a club, and many wearing ribbons iu their coats.
These men during the day became excited, and
for a time a not was apprehended. They
mobbed every colored man who attempted to
vole any hut the Radical ticket, aud during the
entire day, by their noisy, boisterous aud
threatening manner, created an apprehension
of a disturbance. Their evident aim was to in
timidate, but it is needless to say that in this
they failed. The white people were determined
to exercise their franchise, and they did it des
pite the threatening aspect of the crowd. We
have frequently called attention to the presence
at these places of idle vagabond boys, who cir
culate among the crowd, and often succeed in
creating a row. Os these there were a large
number preseut, and their presence had much
to do with the excited condition of the crowd.
At the Third Precinct of Ward No. 3, there
was also a large crowd of excited negroes,
evidently with the same object in view.—
Owing, however, to the calm and dignified de
meanor of the whites, there resulted no breach
ot the peace, and the polls closed without a
single disturbance of any importance, save
those raised by drunken and excited mobs of
black men. No better proof that the citizens
ot Charleston did their whole duty can be
found than iu the fact that gentlemen, venera
ble men, whose hairs had whitened with the
snows of many winters, and who had not been
at the polls in many years, came out yesterday
and helped swell the vole for peace and pros
perity. It is also a notable faet that while the
majority of ignorant eolored men were "wed
ded to their idols,” and afraid to vote for the
man whom they knew was best fitted for the
position ot Mayor ot Charleston, because they
were bullied into voting for the “League”
candidates, a large number ol sensible, intelli
gent, colored men, Republicans, too, had inde
pendence enough to vote conscientiously.
Upon the whole, there is every reason for
congratulation, in the fact that the public
peace was preserved inviolible throughout the
heated aud excited canvass of yesterday. The
good name of Charleston has not been sul
lied.
Butler Selling “ Niggers ” in Lowell.
—Butler, the Beast, is about the only man liv
ing against whom we would take the testimony
of the “ poltroon,” Gen. Kilpatrick. For this
reason wc give what the latter said of the for
mer in a recent speech in Massachusetts:
“On the afternoon of the departure of Mr.
Butler in the bteamer Spaulding, lor Charleston,
South Carolina, when the Democratic Conven
tion was to he held, he dined with several gen
tlemen at a public hall in Boston, and to one of
the gentlemen -(whose name 1 will give when
General Butler asks me for it, or denies this
charge,) he said: ‘ Sir, lam going to Charles
ton to influence the Democratic party to put
in their platform the Dred Scott decision, and
I propose to fight it out on that principle nntil
I can buy and sell a nigger in the streets of
Lowell, as I can buy and sell a ponnd of can
dles, lor by G—d, sir, it is my constitutional
right.' ” — Exchange.
