1t will be seen that the Democratic and
Conservative vote in these Eve States aggre-
gates the immense number of 1,160,89l,
and that out of a poll of 2,466,931, the
Radicals have a majority of only lac, 1S7,
more than three-fourths of which is in the
State of Illinois alone. 1t does not look as
though the party that can poll SC, heavy a
vote as this could be so very dead thus
soon after the election. Notwithstanding
the Democrats and Conservatives polled
the heavy vote they did in the FIVE princi-
pal States of the North, they viii be rep
resented in the fortieth Congress by only
about one-third as many members of the
House of Representatives as the Radicals,
such is the arrangement of the Congress
sional districts. But for this advantage in
favor of the Radicals the Conservatives
would likely have gained several
members of Congress. It is noteworthy,
however, that with much in their favor,
the Radicals, in the elections which have
so far taken place, have not gained single
member; that is to say, their gains have
been neutralized by an equal number of
gains by the Conservatives. The heavy
vote polled by the Conservatives in the late
elections forms very strong opposition to
the fanaticism of Radicalism, and combined
with the vote Of the Southern States, would
defeat that party. 1t is the knowledge of
this fact which will cause the Radicals to
deprive the South of voice in the next
presidential election, for they know that
their only hope Of electing their candidate
for President lies in this disregard of right
and justice. They know that if they can
elect President at all, it will be by pure
ly sectional vote. If the Democratic party
be dead, why do they thus tremble for their
own safety in the power which adyentitious
circumstances have placed ia their handsg
They may talk about the Democratic party
being dead as much as they please, but
their actions show that they still fear that
party ar-E "lait tt-

THE GoUP D'ETGTA SENsATtoE.-The
Geographic correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette has Whitfield the absurd story Of
the rumored Presidential coup fctat to the
following absurd point;
@EYAsHINGToE, Nov. 23.--Those who are
urging the amnesty and suffrage plan upon
the President, do not disguise the fact that
he still adheres to his policy, declares that
it was not repudiated, and that he really
contemplstes the issue in the Presidential
election, and some of those around Mr..
johnson have stated that the plan now Is
to have the South elect electors, and thea
if one or two Northern States can be car
ried, to declare it a Constitutional election
and take possession Of the government!

DELAY THE MAILS

By a change Of tie schedule on the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, the
northern mail does not arrive here nov
until eight o'clocg in the evening. 1t has
heretofore arrived at four o'clock in the
afternoon, and the four hoars difference by
the recent change amounts practically to a
day, 50 far as our business men are corr
cerned, for the mail cannot be opened SO
they can get their letters at night. They
will find the new arrangement a great in
convenience, and should, if possible, have
the old schedule so far restored as to give
them the mails at least two hours earlier
than at present. IL this cannot be done,
we believe they would, find that the north
ern maid could be delivered here several
hours earlier by the southern route if the
Postmaster General would order it by that
route. This is a matter in which very
large class of our citizens are interested,
and it is worth while to investigate the
facilities which the two routes offer for
quick transit. ss7 RI 81 3r Cif4 rafse1
There is another Inconvenience in the
ate change. The mail leaves here at FIVE
o'clock in the morning and at noon. The
noon mail leaves too early for business men
to prepare their correspondence, as it would
have to be in the post Office by eleven
o'clock, so their letters will have to lie
over here whole night This delay should
be remedied, if possible.
1t will thus be seen that our mails, in
stead of being facilitated, will be retarded
by the change of schedule. 04s1
