The Moral Of the Late Ele ctions.

he radical papers are endeavoring to
draw comfort for themselves and their par
ty, in view of their late political disasters,
from the fact that the Conservative victo-
ries have not effected their numerical
strength in the present Congress. VIII
they undertake to say that, if there had
been elections for members Of Congress in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Connecticut,
they would not have been defeated? The
Conservative maorities in many of their
strong districts afford pretty substantial
evidence as to what would have been the
result, Even Ashloy's district, in Ohio,
gave a majority for the Conservative can
didates, Does be consider this good
endorsement of his infamous course rela-
tive to the pending proposition to impeach
and eject the President OF the Z. S. from
offRe? VIII he and bis infatuated aiders
and abctters accept this rebuke, and will
they be governed BY this ominous straw"
which indicates 50 Enthusiastically which
way the wind IS Lowing? If they do not
regard this edmonton, this clear express
sion of popular disapprobation at their
course, their future doom will be but ac-
celebrated and rendered doubly certain
If they do heed this warning, we shall have
moderate counsels and less vindictive le-
gislation. To this extent, then, the re-
suit Of tic late elections will have good
moral effect.
The most important issue decided by
these elections, is that relative to negro
suffrage. The proposition to engrait negro
suffrage into the Constitution Of Ohio was
voted down by majority of between for
ty and fifty thousand. Remember, the
republican party voted down this negro
suffrage amendment. Will the radical
Congress care attempt to force negro suf-
frage on the Northern or Western States.
in the face of these facts? Certainly not.
Then let the white people of the South do
all they can to destroy this hybrid mons
ter Of radicalism, and all will be we'll after
a while. The Conservative masses of the
North and West will sustain them.

The New York Times states, with can
dor, the causes of reaction against Radio
alism in the public mind It says-"We
do not think that the great body of the
people, or of the Republican party, are
satisfied with the manner in which this
question Reconstruction has been treat
ed They are not satisfied that we have
the right &c force universal negro suffrage
upon the people Of tho Southern States at
the point Of the bayonet, and to exclude
those States from the Union until they ac-
cept it; nor that it would be good policy
to exercise the right if we had it.

From Washin gfOn.

WASHINGTON, October 18.-In we'll
authenticated conversation, the President
has expressed himself to the following eff
feet Regarding impeachment, he appre-
hended the Radical leaders would become
more desperate than ever, and hesitate at
nothing to accomplish their revolutionary
purposes" Referring to his suspension
before conviction, he said +: Il will resist
with all the powers which the Constitution
furnishes for its own protection" Regard
ing the Cabinet, he said circumstances
necessitated change, and before the
meeting of Congress change would be
made. lie will neither consult nor be gov
erned by party eli4uoe. but draw around
him men OF ability, nerve and patriotism. :"
Abiding to General Sherman, he states
that 'ho will be here between the 10th
and 17th Of November, in ample time for
the discharge of any duty, however re-
sponsible, which may deyolye upon him"

'sThey Ethe Southern peoplr] mistake the
real significance Of these Northern elections.
The peaple of Ohio are not voting against
suffrage III the South They aye only declar-
ing BY their votes that Congress has no right
to impose it on them
Such is the language used by General
Schofield, recently, on his return from
Washington to Richmond, according to the
correspondent of the New York Times
With due Difference to the Generals infor-
nation upon the subject, we would respect
fully suggest that he has drawn :'most
lame and impotent conclusion" from the
facts in the case, as we understand them
and as they are understood by the press
of the country generally, both radical and
conservative. From all the information
we have been able to gather upon the sub
ject, no such question as that suggested
by the above quotation, or anything like
it, was submitted to the people of Ohio at
the late elections. On the contrary, the
distinct question submitted was, not whe-
ther Congress had the right to force ne
gro suffrage upon them, but whether they,
the people Of Ohio, by the exercise of their
own free sovereign will, would incorporate
into the Constitution of that State a pro-
vision giving to the negroes there the right
to vote. This, we say, was the issue yo-
ted upon and defeated by between forty
and fifty thousand. The question Of ne
gro suffrage was therefore decided upon
its own merits, so far, at least, as the ma
ked question submitted was concerned.
1t would be rather left-handed compli-
ment to the Intelligence Of the people of
Ohio to say that they voted down propo-
sition not distinctly submitted, and that
they voted against their own convictions
on the abstract question of negro suffrage
That would be like children in the market
place crying, eve have piped unto you
and you have not danced" &c.

Negro Suffrage.

The Syracuse Journal (Republican) In
fers from the returns Of the Ohio election
that negro suffrage must be abandoned. =
It says
General Hayes, the Governor elect,
oongratulates the Republicans, in a speech
made since the election, upon their deliv-
erance from the the colored suffrage issue,
for several years to come.
eve mention these things for the ben
eft Of certain people who do not seem in
clined to take hint from passing events.
The truth is, that unrestricted negro suff-
rage has been run into the ground. The
time has come for planting ourselves upon
impartial and intelligent suffrage. We can
stand on that"

Sunday school Festival.

Editors Herald On Saturday the 18th
Of October the friends Of Walnut Spring
Church Sabbath School held festival for
the benefit of the school, The school was
formed in procession at the church, and
under the marshalship of Squire Obed
Funk, assisted by Luther Hurn and Cal
vim Borum, and marched to the stand cree
ted in the grove near by, where the follow
ing order Of exercises was observed -
Singing by the school; prayer by the Su-
perintendent, Mr.. Daniel Shull; singing
speech by Ezra E. Stickley, Esq, the ora
tor of the day.
Without wishing to digress from the
order Of the exercises, [ will remark that
the address of Mr. S. was chaste, eloquent
and full of interest, and elected the atten-
ton of the audience AS it was mainly
directed to the children, they appreciated
it to greater degree of interest than the
older ones present.
At the conclusion of Mr. Stickley's ad-
dress the Superintendent made few brief
remarks, and then introduced Mr.. James
Robinson, who spoke of the object of the
festival, urging the usefulness of country
Sabbath Schools; but while in the midst
of his remarks a shower of rain began to
fall, which caused stampede" of por-
ton Of the audience, including your cor
respondent, from the stand to the church,
and am therefore unable to give your
readers any further report Of Mr.. RS re-
marks.
The school was reformed and marched
to the tables, where an abundance of the
''good things" Of life was spread out for
all those who felt like contributing toward
the purchase of library for the use Of the
school. The object Of the festival was to
raise funds to purchase a library for the
use Of the school. The amount realized,
[ understand, reached the sum of thirty
five dollars.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on
the managers for the manner in viii Oh The
affair was gotten up The Strasburc

THURSDAY, OCTOBER "a, 1867.
What Hunnicutt is Going to Do.

That delectable specimen of radical du-
plicity, tie Rev James W. Hunnicutt,
was nominated as one of the candidates to
be voted for by the rag-tag -and-bobtail
party in Richmond for seat in the pro-
posed constitutional Convention. He ha-
ted very much the idea of being returned
to that body; it would require great sa-
cri6ce, he said; and had almost as soon
be sent to the penitentiary as to the Con-
yention. Yet, as his brother Thugs had
decreed it, for their sakes he would under
90 any amount of humiliation and self
sacrifice. Taking it for granted that there
could be no doubt about his: election, be
said that, in making new Constitution
for this military district, once the State of
Virginia, he would disfranchise all the
leaders in the rebellion, commencing with
editors and preachers, as they were main
" instrumental in carrying the ignorant
masses of the people into the rebellion =
He would place lifetime disabilities upon
these two classes, and then he would make
a clean sweep Of the politicians. Of course
he will do all this. He will no doubt car
ry considerable number of the Conycn-
ton in his breeches pocket, and he will
take good care to keep them there, until
he shall choose to let them out.
So far as the editors of Virginia are
concerned, as class, they have not said
much that this miserable mountebank and
pimp of Northern demagogues could lay
as fattering JUNCTION to his soul. On the
contrary, they regardsalRn as a mean and
contemplate deserter, Risked mischief
maker and ambitious seehl after power,
who would sacrifice the WhiBe population
and the great matesial interests of the
State to crafty his unhallowed sand I'M
quenchablo thirst for power. It is quite
natural, therefore, that they should be the
frst upon whose heads be threatens to pour
out the walls of his impotent rage But
good pious soul, why he should be so RAM
pant against our preachers, we canapt d.
vine, unless it is because SO fsw ofthem
mix up politics. with their preaching. =
Having himself donned the garments of a
saint to serve the devil in, by prefzjing
"Rev." to his patronymie, Hunni6utt
would drag down to his own degraded level
all our preachers who refuse to acknowl-
edge that the loathsome and disgusting
principles of the mongrel radical party in
Virginia arc part # the gospel as pro-
mulgated by the Saviour AID his apostles.
