NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-The HeralTs
Richmond special says: The greatest
excitement, since the secession of
Virginia. prevails here over the Demo
cratic successes reported in Ohio.
The bulletin boards are thronged by
crowds to learn the results, and the
most extraordinary anticipations for
the future are INDUCED in, many fear
ing that the Democratic party at the
North, so long under the ban, may
go into excess when it acquires power.
1t is confidently expected that the
victories in Ohio and Pennsylvania
will change the whole current of re-
construction and many assert that
the election, for the Constitutional
Convention, on the 22d inst, will go
in favor of the Conservatives on this
account. .4a
The Republicans are crest-fallen
and drepressed. The negroes are
said to be in .furore about the great
change in popular sentiment at the
North The intelligent ones among
them who understand the matter,
have industriously speculated upon
the news, and an avalanche of invec-
tives and denunciations is hurled
against Hunnicutt in consequence.
This comes particularly from the con-
servative wing Of the negroes, who
are unanimous in denouncing the
great mogul as the author of all their
woes and misfortunes by his extreme
and ultra doctrines. Local issues and
all matters relating to reconstruction
are lost sight of in the great interest
manifested in the news from the
North.

markable change for the better has
occurred, within the past few months,
