The Election and its Probable Sequel.
sPECULATIONs AS TO THE CHAR
ACTER Of GENERAL GRANTS
aIgo ADMINISTRATION. . -
WASHINGTON, November 4, 1868

WAsHINGToN, November 4, 1868.
The election, and the political prob
abilities resulting therefrOm, is main
ly discussed to-day. The Radicals,
of course, are in high state of iubi-
lation. Singularly enough Democrats
are not greatly downcast.. The latter
profess hopefulness that Grants adj
ministration will prove conservative
in character, and as such displeasing
to intense Radicals. 1t IS held by
them, and also by moderate Republi-
cans, that Grant will not acquiesce in
the abominable doctrine of Sumner
& Co., and that out of this division
good results will come. Referring to
the disposition of Democrats to con-
sole themselves with this thought, the
Star (Republican) says:
"We apprehend there is more solid
foundation for this philosophy, on the
part of the minority, than most Re
publicanS would. suppose. Not that
we think that General Grant will ever
place himself upon the Democratic
platform, or formally leave that
framed at Chicago. From the very
nature of things, however, it is i'm
possible for any President to satisfy
the more ultra of his anti-election
supporters; and, in addition to this
inherent general difficulty, we do not
doubt that President Grants admin
istration will naturally and intention
ally tend toward moderate and con-
serVatlve measures"
So, after all, the Democrats may not
be disappointed.

WE announced few days ago, the
fact of the assassination of General
Hindman, of Arkansas. The Helena
Clarion gives the following particu-
lars of the tragica1 affair ..z ..,..,
He was shot with an army musket,
through the window of his dwelling
house, while sitting by the fireside.
His left hand, in which he held his
pipe, was torn away, and two balls
passed through his neck, severing
the windpipe, and doing other inju-
rieS, which produced copious internal
bleeding. The muzzle of the mus
ket, from the powder=burn on the
window-bIind, was not exceeding
eight feet from where he Was sitting,
and but for the accidental position of
his hand near his chin, which diver
ted the aim of the shot, it would al
most have blown his head from his
shoulders. The boldness of the per-
petrator Of this bloody deed is amaz-
ing. 1t was clear, moonlight night.
A person could have been seen and
! almost recognized a hundred yards
OH, From whatever direction the
two fiepds may have approached, they
retreated after the commission of the
crime toward the road or street In
front of the residence, where persons
were apt to be passing at all hours.
The tracks show two persons present,
one Of whom, from appearances, was
white man, but no clue has yet been
found fixing suspicion upon any par
ticular individuals. It is thought
political malice was the cause, and
that a hired william struck the blow,
General Hindman survived about
eight hours, during which he CONVEX
sed calmly in relation to business
matters spoke with touching beauty
and affection to his wife and the four
little children who have been so In
humanity bereaved. He was con-
scious of his fate, and rational to the
end, which he met with sublime cour-
age and resignation. General Hind
man was the great leader Of the
Democracy. Of Arkansas, and was
dealing such heavy blows against
Radicalism as to mark him as its
most formidable opponent. ...f.--..z
This is another of the terrible re-
suits of radical reconstruction and for
chile negro supremacy over the
whites, "outside of the Constitution, y

As it is in Other Lands.

AS it is in other lands, so it will be
in ours, if we follow their example,:
What reduces the people to the
condition in which they appear in
Europe?
There can be but one answer.
Their governments.
The lands all owned by the few;
The money all in the hands of the
few;
The titles all conferred upon the
few;
The privileges all vested in the few;
The monopolies all granted to the
few;
The exemptions all made in favor
of the few;
The power all possessed by the few;
The honor all enjoyed by the few !;
The Offices all held by the few;
The emoIuments all received by
the few;
All favors bestowed on the few;
Affiuence and splendor surrounding
the few;
Ease and comfort the happy lot of
the few;
All the rights claimed by the few ;
On the other hand
All the labor performed by the
many
All the taxes paid by the many;
All the hardships endure d by the
many;
All the poverty borne by the many.
1t is true in political as in physical
science, that "Iike causes produce
like effects"
Our government is fast taking on
the character and adopting the poll
tics which have produced the above
mentioned effects in Europe, and we
must expect the same to follow here
with increasing distinctness the fur
ther we advance in the same direction
Beyond working up the negro int
an element of political power, wealth
is the only object of the fostering
care of government.
Capital is privileged;
Capital is protected
Capital is exempted.
But labor is oppressed
Labor pays all the taxes
Labor is cheated out of what it ha
| earned.
The rich toll not;
In war they fight not;
In peace, the cost of the fighting
they pay not,
But the poor do all the work
In war do all the fighting;
In peace pay all the expense.
Workingmen, take this home ant
reflect upon it,
