It was easy 70 foresee the spirit in
which the Democratic press of the
South would receive the news OF the
recent elections. 1t was foresbadOwed
by the unconcealed exultation with
which they regarded the result in Ohio
and Pennsylvania. But we were not
prepared 10 see them yet cast of all the
disguise which one event afler another
had reduced almost TO single garment.
We gave entire few days since an ar
ricle from the Richmond Enquirer and
Examiner, almost unparalleled for out
spoken hatred of the North and Of the
negro. The same vein runs through
the articles of the Southern Democratic
press almost without exception. From
alarge number Of extracts we select
only few.
The Petersburg Isdex thinks 'the fat
ofthe doom of the dethronsd despots
has been pronounced" adding:
'tFrom ali these States the sovereign
and chorused voice of those who are the
nource of all power has proclaimed TO
radIcalism the emphatic warning that
the Will OF the people must be obeyed,
and " 1t be disreghrded. when neXtfrom
hamlet md city comes this voice, 1t VIII
pronounce the sentence swirl and ter
rfble npou those who have dared TO
destroy she charter and tfAmple uu-
der foot the embletns OF nations liD-
critics."
The Charleston Courier as the last and
greatest of,the results of the elections
says "the final nail has been driven
Into Tie coffin of negro suffrage at the
Morrill, sentence open TO two con-
EtEuctiona. We prefer 10 take n differ
emit view from that of the Courier.
The Charlottesville (ya.) CirOHicLe
says that the aequiescence of the South
in the reconstruction bills was like that
OF the prisoner on the scatfold in the
movements of the executioner. The
halter being removed, as 1t thinks, 1t
bursts out;
HshNlI we not exultf Shall the South
TemBin silent, still tvoiceless In her m.
nruIsII, when the North throws out Inc
siguHi OF cohtrition7 Shall we send
back the New York message, we are

those guns as theiwenried Saxons did

tive people of the North awakened at
last TO q proper appreciation OF the
dangers that Threatened them, have
risen In their power, and by one grand
effort, hurled back the black tide OF
despotism that had well nigh swept
away every vestIge of constituttonnl

on the occasion Of the October cleo

present relieEappearsin prospectfor the
South from the reconstruction bill. 1t
goes on to say:
'It Is moreover virtually sealed that
General Grant Is a Republican, and
will be the Republican candidate for

favor of a Republican majority In the
House Of Representatives which shall
Immediately succeed the present one
Ifso, there can sbe NO contingency ca

The Richmond Dispatch takes a some
what similar view. 1t regards 1t as Ger.
tain that the. cotton States will come
into the Union under that measure, and
pertiueutly adds:
..YlrcInIa,s fate ia not yet decided.
She may succeed in voting down the
radicals upon the question OF, the rati6'
cation OF the constitution. But IL she
does, aud she alone, remain out of the
Union on the 18th OF March next, what

We must. class the Louisville Jotl,-
nal as a Southern Democratic paper, as
1t Is In perfect accord with them ON
every point. Ut calls the November
elections an enlarged and illuminated
edition of those in October. With re-
gard IN what the Republicans viii do
inthis crisis It sagely says: 1ssss,.s
aThey. win reef their sails and call
their most. cunning pilot TO The helm,
III the hope OF riding out the storm
which they have provoked. This u
what they VIII do. y
The tone OF the Republican press al
the South Is sxcsllent and much 70 be
commended. The Wilmington IN. c.
