into that Military pupilageF which the Rebel
Democracy pretend to depIecate, but do their
utmost to prctract. Congress is about to act
in the premises; and we doubt not that Ala
bama will soon be restored to her place in the
Union, and to the responsibilities and blessings
of self-gOvernment.
The next State 10 vote was ARKANSAS. She
was not only strongly, uniformly Democratic
State, under the old dispeDsatiOn but a very
large majority Of her legal voters, under the
new registry are Whites. The fullest returns
now before us show 33,047 Whites to 81 ,907
Colored; but we believe the complete official re-
turns increase the White prepondcrance to nearly
10000 In this, however, is included large
Union element. which never was dragooned
into the Rebellion. and is invincibly opposed
to all its works and ways. BY the help of this
element, the Constitution has been ratified, a
Union Legislature and Representatives in Con-
gress have been chosen under it, and two
Radical u. S. Senators elected, who are now in
Washington with their credentials. We have
not yet the exact vote on the Constitution; !;
but the Conservatives are crying "fraud,'
which admits that the majority is against
them.
South CAROLINA has of course gone
Radical, and ratified her Free Constitution
by an overwhelming majority not
less than 30,000-ccrtainly over 10000. She has
elected Republican Representatives to Congress.
and will choose two United States Senators OF
like faith. As her registered voters stood sO,-
2S6 Coored to 400 White, such a result was
inevitable. South Carolina was Rebel only be-
cause majority of her people were the dumb
chattcls of the minority. Nothing was ever
needed but genuine democracy to make her "A
loyal Union State as she is henceforth to be.

not admit that they arc therefore rightfully
chattels and beasts of burden, to be bought
and sold, lashed and gashed, at the caprice OF
the White minority. Her original registry ad-
ded up S4,431 Colored to $3.50 White voters;
but some thousands have since been added

closed, shout was raised that they were beaten.
Fuller returns, however, show that she has
ratified her Radical Constitution by at least
$4,000 majority, elected Republican State
officers and Legislature, and three out Of

NORTH CAROLINA has been confidently
claimed for several days rs Conservative" on
the strength Of reported majoritics from several
Counties which prove utterly erroneous. In
this State, also, the Republicans were dis
tracted-a full ticket having been placed III the
field 10y those who were implacably hostile TO
Holden, the regular nominee fF Governor.
The registered voters (OiiiciaD are 1858
White to 1886 Colored-more than Thirty
Thousand White majority: SO that, if the
contest had been one between Whites and
Blacks, as the Coppcrheads pretend the
Republicans must have been badly beaten.
For days, our adveisarics enjoyed their
fools paradise and when at length the
returns looked more dubious, they con
fidently asserted that the Western counties-
being almost exclusively Whitc--would bring
them out ahead But the West though White.
is largely antiRebel so the cry of White
against Black has not sufliced to carry her
against herself. The outcry against mixed
common schools, negro jurors, &c, has doubt
less carried off many good Unionists, but not
enough to insure q Rebel or Conservative tri-
umph. North Carolina is Union and Republican
by a handsome majority, and has not only chosen
the Republican State ticket, but Gas reportedD
Republican Representative in Congress from
every District but one, which returns the Hon.
Nathaniel Boyden, an old-time Wing. We
append the reported majorities from the
counties at hand, which will show that,
though the Blacks are nearly all Radicals, the
Radicals are not all Blacks by many:
