THE ELECTIONS.
What a Rebel Paper Hopes.

The Louisville Courier, which since
its revival. has denounced every loyal
man and principle with the same bitter.
ness as when it perambulated after the
rebel armies, says Of the late elections,
The same popular reaction which has
caused Pennsylyouii, from being a Rad.
ical State to declare for Democracy, and
which has induced the peoplo OF Ohio
TO place the mark of their condemnation
upon tho Cavoits measure of the Rali-
cals-that rection will inevitably 90 on
until the shack;es with which the South
is bound have been struck off, and the
nation restored TO its normal condition.
The infamous Jacobin Congress will rot
after this, attempt to legislate negro
equality into the States; nor is It prob
able that hereafter Democratic ROpres-
sentatiyes will be excluded on account Of
their and their constituents politics.

TIE OHIO ELECTION.

This important election took place on
Tuesday the 9th inst, and although the
result is not wha! we could have ,expac-
ted, it is nevertheless very gratifying TO
the Union Republican party of the ma
ton 10 know that there was enough of
the spirit of 62-3-4, left in the Stale to
elect that patriot and hero, Con. Hayes,
to thegubetnptorial chair, (ns well as
tho entire Republican State ticket who
fought long and bravcIy to wrest his
country from the reasonable hands of
tho friends Of Judge Thurman.
But the question now comes up for
consideration, What was it that CON
tributed to bring about this apparent
change in the State? Our readers will
remember, that at tho last session OF the
Ohio Legislature there was an amend,
ment proposed 10 tina Stale Constitution,
and submitted TO the people lotgtheir
ratification OF rejection, in this amend.
pent it was provided, that certain de.
sertOrs from the Union army should he
dislranclised, aud the word white
should be stricken from said Consli-
triion, thereby enfranchi'ing all the col.
orOd people ofLho State, and this the Re,
publican party voted down by an over
whelming majority, thus demonstrating
the fact, that the Republican party are
not now, nor never have been 10 favor
Of negro suffrage. Had they been they
could have carried it in tho Stale of Ohio
by large majority. The Radicals done
as they should have done-voled againft
It. If ever negro suffrage is brought
about in this OF sny other loyal State,
it will be through the Democratic. Cou-
aseryativo party. Another issue which
helped in great manner to cause this
reaction, was the tax question. This
was the buHhen Of the argument Of the
Democrats all over the State. Then
when we consider the proposed amend.
menls oud especially the manhood suE-
frago question, which the Republican
party is not prepared to receive, not
withsiandiug the malicious assertions of
The Democratic party both 10 Ohio and
West Virginia. There is nothing very
strange or wonderful. that that part Of
her citizens who read aud think bat lit
tle for themselves, would be lead to be.
lieve that the paryin power was ns-
ponsiblo for oil the horrible pictures
painted before their imaginations. by ia.
scrupulous politicians and designing
.domagogues. We hope, however that
Congress, at an early day, will convince
the people that they have been deceiv-
ed and misloud by party that once tri-
ed to destroy the coua,ry bscaCsq it
could not rule,
