TIE REsULr.-The Washington cores
pondent of the Charleston Courier, writing
of the situation Immediately after the late
elections. says:
The President and his Cabinent 4inclu-
ding General Grant, fully understand and
appreciate the meaning of the late cleo
tions. They view the result as the want
of the great conservative interests of the
country, which demand peace, stability,
and Justice, under Constitutional Union.
The elections were gained by Conservative
men, and not by the Democrats, as a dis
tinct party. These elections are only a
prelude to a general uprising of Conserva.
tive young men throughout the North and
West--the results OF which we shall see i'll
the November elections, and more decide
div still in the elections for Congress and
for the Presidency November of next year.
The fact is the country is inthe hands OF
a generation of young men who have
sprung up within the last six or seven years,
and the first thing they will do is to brush
off the old and efcte and prcjudiceG lead
ers of the Radical party everywhere. The
old Democratic chiefs of the Buchanan
school will fare no better with them.
They are not going back to past times or
to old dogmas, but will take things as they
find them in this their own generation.
The President has expressed views of the
situation in manner showing that he COM
prehcnds it. Is not his triumph though he
has contributed to it. He says, however,
that it puts an end to the impeachment
project, and will give him an opportunity,
peacefully and7with less obstruction han
was expected, sustain the Executive De
partmcnt with its constitutional rights, i'll
opposition TO the tactious and despotic ac-
ticn of Congress.
The Conservative Republicans, and es
pccially.thc old Clay and Webster Wings,
arc gratiied by the results, and will cvi-
IDENTIFY support the onward movement.
Many held back from the polls at the late
elections because they would not act with
their old opponents, the Democrats. They
will have no scruple hereafter on that
move.
The President will not, in rcadiuSting
his Cabinet, compose it of Democratic par
tizans lie will take Conservative men.
He has stated this in unmistakle terms.
At the same time he will seek men ofncrve
and boldness, as well as integrity and abil-
ity. lie ought to take men representing the
present situation, and probably he will do

Judge Bryan, OF the United States Court
in case to-day testing the validity ofthe5
panel of jury drawn of voters and tax
payers, irrespective of color, decided that
although the Act OF Congress OF 1910 re-
ouircd the jurors to he drawn as prescribed
by the Legislature of each respective State
vet that this must be construed i'll reference
to the changes created by the war;. he is'
held that Congress, as now constituted y. Vas.
the legal Congress of whole country !; tnae
the Reconstruction Act OF Congress- con-
ferrinr suffrage unon the negro, was rald,.
and was the provisional Constitution and
law Of the State. lie held that PRESIDENT
Jobnson had no powerto restore ary sece-
J;nn Statcs 10 the Union. He says: "I
saw il with grave sense of responsibility,
i was not competent for the President, by
any act Of his, to bind Congress to restore
the States TO the Union, and connect it by
constitutional ligaments and relations
He held there was no legal government or
State Constitution in South Carolina; and
that under the existing provisional goverH-
mcnt, the Reconstruction Acts of Congress
were tie supreme and law the Constr
tuition of the State. lie says, if there was
any Constitution for South Carolina, or
any legal State government, then the Act
of 1910. commanding the judge to acceps
as Jurors alone those who are voters under
the Constitution of the State and who are
qualified by the Act of its Legislature,
then it would be decisive of this question,
aud the panel should have been drawn
alone from white men; but it is otherwise.

WAsll1NGToN, October Is.

The n. y. Herald contains the follow
ing analysis Of the Ohio election: AT the
election for Congressman Ohio last year,
the Republicans carried l6 out OF the
10 districts in the State. At the election,
on the sth instant, the Democrats carried
twelve ont of the nineteen districts, and
came within 100 of carving two or three
others In every Republican district the
majorities are cut down immensely. In
the seventh district, which gave Hon.
Samuel Shcllabergcr 2,17l majority last
year. the radicals escaped with bare nine
ty-tivc majority at the recent election !;
willie in the eighth district the majority
was reduced from l,S5G to sixty two. In
the second district, the radical candidate
was defeated by nearly 700 votes-Gcn.
Carey, his successful opponent, although
personally in favor of negro suffrage, is
opposed to forcing it upon any State, and
pledged himself to the Democrats to op
pose any measures looking to the passage
of bill by Congress cntianchising the
blacks, either i'll the North or South. lie
may, therefore, be regarded as an oppon'
ent of the Congressional policy of recon-
struction. The last significant feature
about these districts is the revolution i'll
the tenth. This district is represented by
Mr. J. /. Ashley, the member of Con-
gress who brought in articles of impeacl-
ment against the President. As VIII Dc
seen, the Republican loss is 2,o4lIsr'n,'s .,s
the Democrats majority OF l2f III '''c
district.

The Amnesty Proclamation.

The Amnesty Proclamation of President
JOHNSON, published on the 9Th instant, ap.
pears in our columns this week. The list of
exceptions is short, and we trust these will
disappear in good time. Practically, the am
nesty amounts to very little at the present
time, for the reason that the reconstruction
acts of Congress forbids the persons so relieved
generally from voting. But, looking to the
future, it will prevent prosecutions for treason
and confscaton. This act of the President
will, we trust be hailed by all, North and
So"'h, ao practical step towards that peace
ful restoration of the whole country, which
alone can give us permanent peace.

An Anomaly.

The country--that is to say, the Govern-
ment---is in highly apparent prosperous con-
dition; indeed, financially, it never has pre-
sonted a moro favorable account current, says
tho Columbia Phwnix." The last exhibit
from Washington shows that thore are over
s100, 100000 in gold and over $4,000 900
iu currency in the Treasury, and that the rev.
enue is coming in at the rate of 5000 900
to slO,00o,000 week. II is estimated that
the war debt can be paid in less than fifteen
years, if the financial department. of the Gov.
ernment should be faithfully and honestly ad-
ministered But, even with this favorable
exhibit, the country, in a business point of
view, presents moro singular anomalous
spectacle. The crops are most abundant In
all the large commercial cities-the great cen
tres of tradc-there is All almost unprcccden.
ted plethora of money, and yet, strange to
say, there is equally an almost unprecedented
stagnation in business. The underlying cause
OF this curious state Of affairs is as yet scarce.
ly understood; but that it is, in great meas
ure, owing to the increasing burden of taxa.
| ton upon the people, thero can be little
doubt.
business confidence is, moreover greatly
damaged by the adverse political situation Of
the country. Notwithstanding the immense
amounts Of capital laying dormant and un-
productive, both in this country and Europe,
the magnificent resources of the South, with
her millions of acres of the finest cotton, to-
bacco, rice and sugar lands, are wanting for
the application of capital-and we might
add, of reliable labor-to develop her vast re-
sources. But beside her fertile soil and gen.
ial climate, the South teens with mineral
wealth, in iron, gold, copper aud coal. The
best wheat in the country is grown here, and
the best -four sent hence to the markets of the
country And what obstructs the develop.
ments of these grand treasures of the soil ?
Nothing but the petty partizan spirit which
now prevails and rules the country-a con
temptble ambition BY those in power to hold
on, to the last gasp, to that power which they
are now welding with such mischievous re-
suits Oh for the craftsmanship of the past,
when such minds as Webster, Calhoun and
Clay ruled the councils of the country And
might we not add the prayer for one week s
Executive administration Of the laws and
maintenance of the Constitution, which the
honesty, nerve and Grmncss of Jackson ex-
hibit to the country and the world? But,
alas these aspirations are in vain, aud the
madness of petty politicians rules the hour.

Abundance Everywhere.

The grain crops promise abundance all the
world over The London 4" Mercantile Jour
nal' surveys the various grain growing coun-
tries of Europe to ascertain the prospects Of
immense supplies. No deficiency is appre.
hended in England In Paris, the stock of
Hour is the largest ever held, amounting, to
$4,000 cwts. The last harvest in the South
OF Russia is most abundant; the exports from
that section are expected to reach 2 1000, 900
quarters.
The conclusion is, that scarcity is deemed
out of the question anywhere, and the pros
pect favors the opinion that the grain crops of
Europe will be moro than usually abundant
and that prices will rule low It is a bad
wind that blows nobody good, and the exports
OF grain from the United States this year must
be limited, thus furnishing cheap provisions
to needy and destitute people The crops
of grain shipped wilnot, as therefore,, furnish
any basis in the balance of foreign. indebted
ness This question will thus again be ~
ferred to the shipments of cotton, and such
bonds as may be saleable in Europe will be
the chief resource for the payment of debts
abroad Cotton bills will be late coming in
to market, but they are specie when they do
come, and cannot fail to exercise beneficial
influence on prices.
