Some days ago a World correspoudent discussed in a very able articlo the question of the iuelegibility of postuiusters to be appointed Preaidential electora, reachiug the conclusión that :ho ineleibility did not give the election to the opposition candidate, and al80 that no vacancy was created by the 'üilurt' to elect. The latter position is taken by other writers, the assuuiption juiíifí that an election must be made to an office before there can oucur a vicancy. Thia is not always so. If the office 3 a continuoue office, with a provisión For an incumbent to hold over uutil his 8uccessor is elected a failure to elect would loave no real vacancy, but if the crui of office expires at a certuin date a failure to elect will créate a vacancy at tbat certaiu date. The question ot low such vacancy shall be iilled is entirely another one and must be determiiii'i! by local or State laws. Tiie following letter, bearing date 3ept. 25, and addressed to the Supervisor of Assumption parish, Louisiana, s a sample of the letters sent froui the Kepublican headquarters in New Oreaus to the several parishes of the State It will bear a careful reading : Dkak Bib: It is well knowu to this committhe trum the exainination uf the ceusus ot .875, ihat the Republiciin vote in your p:insh a 2,200, arid the Kepublican mujority is 900.

If John Kelly is made comptrnller of New fork city, Twetnl will have come back just iu une to ■! Tanimany Hall in oontrol of that boniuizii, tlie city trei-sury, once more.- Detroit 'ost of Tuesday. The same edition of the Vost takes the ■piut" out of that " if," a telegraphio dispatch ttiinouucing that Mayor Wicklüin had noniiiiated Jas. S. Thayer to be Comptroller. It is too bad to cheat Celly and make game of Tweed in he same breath. Cau't our cotempo ary relieve its feelings by charging hut some " white line Democratie " official is Associate Press agent iu New York. The New York Evening Post is not ntirely correct iu this statement: The rigid rule excluding clergymen 'rom Girard College in Philadelphia seems to have been relaxed during the )eriod of the Centennial Exhibition, as no questions were asked of strangers." .int 'riiifi the gate house we were asked his question, ' Are yon a clergyman '(" and we personally heard it repeated a number of times, with the occasional variation, " Any clergymen in yonr arty 't" And othors have detailed to U9 the same experienco. The Post bould bc a little more carefnl. T-wo years ago the Sixth district of bis State gave a handsome Democratie raajority - and secured the able services f Geo. H. Durand in the House. This rear tho couuties composiug that disrict were " bull-dozel " by the "henchlen of Zack Chandler and Steve Bingiam and the result is the election of ne Brewer to misrepresent the disrict. And the State Board of Canvassra, " loil " Bepublicans, all entered ever a protest ftgaitist. the fraud and ntrage, but umi ■ haate to sanotion oth. And this in Michigan instoad of in Louisiana. The official rote of this Congrensioual district is announced as follows : RoblWil- Granpon. litH. ger.

The total vote of the district is 36,969, boing 7,715 in excoss of the vote polled for Governor in 1874. A reBpectable increase. Can't the defeated candidato miso a cry of fraudulent votes and stufFed ballot-boxes : that is the way largo Doinocratio gaine and majorities are accouuted for elsewhere. Tweed has made the Bepublioan countenance look sorry and the Bepubhoaa heart grow sick by assuring a reporter tbat he has nothing to reveal about Tilden. " Of all the sad words of tongue or pen, The aoddest are these, - it raight have been."
