The Homestead Is safe. The Ku KIux are dead. I We confess we did not expect such an uprising of the jcoplo, though we confidently expected Convention to be voted down. The vote far exceeds our most sanguine expectations. The large vote ioIIed, and the overwhelming majorities against Convention, shows conclusively that the question was not prescribed by the limits of party. Sev eral thousand Democrats and many Conservatives voted against the ini quitous call. The solid vote of the colored men would not have been suffi cient to have defeated the measfire, had not the white Republicans, thein . df'iendent Jackson Democrats, and the honest Conservatives, who love law mid order more than their party, refused to lend their influence in favor of Revolution, and.who went to jtlie poMs and voted against Conven tion.

Whatever may be the result of the election , in ' this State on Thursday last, there is one feature which stands out conspicuously and will give food for serious reflection in the, future. The negro vote has again been cast in a solid body together, with here and there, a few solitary and praise-worthy exceptions, against the mass of the- white people who pay the taxes into the Treasury. The ne irroes voted blindlv and obstinatelv'asrainst light and knowledge, in favor of tfie office-' holders and the vile men who use tne ne gro vote as a foot ball to advance their sel fish and mercenary ends.

Before the election the Conservatives were, ready to take off their : hats to every colored voter they : met; but now after the election the Sentinel threatens the colored man because lie saw fit to vote against Convention. The colored men ought to thank the Sentinel for exposing the true feeling and designs of the Conservative party. "Forewarned forearmed." .

Oakey Hall Mayor, of New York City fearing a riot, issued an order several clays before the riot took place, forbidding the Orangemen to parade. The press of the city was unanimous in condemning the action of the Mayor, and boldly asserted that the city had been surrendered to a mob. Public opinion being so strong in favor of al lowing the Orangemen to parade, Gov. Hoffman issued a proclamation on the 11th, countermanding the order of Mayor Hall. The procession took place on the 12th and a very serious riot occurred. About fifty persons were killed and a hundred wounded. Up to this time, Gov. Hoffman was the most popular man in the North with the Irish voters. Since he pro tected the Orangemen in their right to parade, the Irishmen have burnt him in effigy-Tklehounced him at public meetings and vowed to have revenge for the spilling of Irish blood. The case is this: Gov. Hoffman is jde nounced by the most powerful element of his party, and Mayor Hall is sus tained. In addltiou to this, the New York Times has published a long list of secret accounts that were passed up on, signed and paid by Mayor Hall and Controller Connolly, which show that frauds of the most gigantic char acter exceeding, by far, those of Swep son and Littlefield have been perpe trated by the Democratic officials who control the city. The Mayor and Con troller are denounced by the Times as "thieves and scoundrels." The charges made by the Times have not been re futed, neither has the Times been sued for libel. 1 An edition of the Times, amounting to Three Hundred Thousand copies, was"printed and distributed throughout the State. The riot and the frauds, as exposed why the colored man should vote the Conservative ticket war should not be made upon the colored man because he does not vote as the leaders of the Conservative party would have him do. The fault lies with the Conserva tive party and not with the colored man. Why? ; J refused io assist in Reconstructing the Ke0TeJQ Publican Partr Governor, lie nas made a gaa canvass.
