The Election.

The result of the late election in this
county has shown that our population IS
so evenly divided between the two po-
litical parties that the success OF either
party depends upon the perfection OF
it's organization and the amount OF work
it does. When the Republican party Ia
bors for success and the Democrats re-
main idle, the Republican ticket will be
successful; if the Democrats work, and
Republicans make no organized effort,
the Democratic ticket will be elected
and if both put forth equal exertions.
and strain every nerve in the contest, the
result will be doubtful and the majority
small. We feel well satisfied, however,
that if the Democratic party last Thurs
day had put forth an effort at all conf
mensurate with the Importance of the
occasion, or equal to that made by our
opponents, our ticket would have been
elected by handsome majority. We
had many advantages upon our side, and
had clearly the best of the argument al!
through the campaign. That we did not
succeed was entirely our OWE fault. We
mentioned this matter yesterday morn
ing and allude to it again to-day i'll or
der to impress upon our friends, while
the matter is still fresh in their recollec-
ton. the necessity for more work the
next time, and the certainty of success
if ace all do what we can.
There is really nothing in the result OF
the late election that should discourage
any Democrat in Ohio county. We knoW
we can succeed if we work heartily fol
success, aud if we don't work we don't
deserve success Next fall we will vote
for Governor and other State officers
county officers, y member of Congress
aud members OF the legislature Tn,
election will he more important than the
one just past. Let us he prepared for il
and go into the campaign with fixed
determination to win
1t would be unjust for us to dismiss the
subject or the late county election with
out some recognition of the fact that a
portion OF the Democracy did very well
last Thursday. In the Fourth Ward. the
Republican majority OF ll2 cast last
year was reduced to 6? this fall. At that
rate, the lark Of the covenant" which
the nteiHgencer says, abides in that Ward
will be likely to pass into other hands
next year. There are dozen or more
noble fellows in that Ward who did
splendid service last Thursday The
Second Ward also did well, considering
all the circumstances in the case. The
entire vote of the Ward was more than
fifty less than last years vote and yet the
Democratic majority only fell four below
that given for MCCLELLAN And Ritchie
that "stoneth the prophets" came NJ
handsomely after all. The Republican
majority of 6S was reduced too aud we
doubt not that, through the labors OF the
same energetic and earnest men who Ia,
bored there last Thursday, the majority
may DO placed upon the Democratic side
in the election returns one year hence
The country townships did not quite
come up to our expectiOn, bnt we are will,
ing to bet on them the next time.

Pity The Poor Negro.

In Washington City, under the shad-
ow of the national capital, where Repub-
lican politicians, sleek, well-fed and
prosperous, meet to devise new schemes
for party success and moro plander from
the agitation of 1.-The negro question:
where SUMNER will soon be delivering
polished Orations full of classical love
and neatly rounded sentences; and where
WILSON and STEPHENS will soon be clam
Oring for the extension of the elective
franchise to the African race; poor ne,
groes, freedmen as they are called, are
suffering the pangs of starvation and, are
perishing wretchedly amid sqnalor and
filth. What care they for the right tc
vote! Gre them Dread Ii is an absolute
hooking of their misery to offer ballots
to those who are perishing for food
MIS-. C.RiFFING, agent Tor the Freed
man, Association, has recently issued u
Pathetic appeal in behalf of the suffer
ing negroes in Washington City, which
should touch with remorse the hearts of
the politicians who have been instru-
mental in bringing upon these unfortu-
mates the miseries they bear, and who
for the sake of office and the little. brief
authority" it gives, have brought so
much suffering upon race once COM
Portable, contented and happy. Mrs.
GRIFFING, in her published appeal" for
aid for these suffering negroes, represents
the most fearful mortality existing a.
mong them, the Quartermaster's Depart
ment having issued during the hot
weather an average of eighty cOfins per
week, and says there can be no doubt
that the sanitary condition of most of
the poorest class conduces much to the
fearful mortality among them, as they
are, compelled to breathe very impure
air within and stencil from without the
room, and are often covered with vermin,
even after death. 1t is the opinion pre-
vailing among them and of other close
observers, that three-fourths Iof the
children die from want and neglect.
In one family of a soldier. who lost his
life in battle, five of ten of his children
have died since March, 1866. from the
above causes. In another, three ont of
seven children of soldier drafted in
December last, have starved to death
within the last three weeks. The moth
ers in both cases were Frustrated with
sickness, and all their supplies were sud-
denly and entirely cut off.
) IN the same square, mothers and SONS,
wives and children of soldiers still in the
Government service-as regular United
States troops are suffering for.the necss--
saries of life. knowing nothing more Of
their men, they say, than that when the
war broke up they didn't como home.
