SOUTHERN COMMENTS.
The Democratic Success i'm Louisiana.
From, the New Orleans PcGyune.
We would urge upon victorious white and
right teilow.ctiZen3 of Louisiana. that they
should proceed with moderation and discrimi-
nation but with steady and firm sep, to the
securing the fruits OF their victory. Let no man
who has not been true to you at all times be-
come q leader or standard-bearer. Jf men
have repented OF their past errors, wec )me
them to your ranks; but do not put them or
permit them to march in the Lead Reserve that
place to those who have ever been true aud
steadiast.
Whatever may be the result of the election for
President, Louisiana is safe against radtcalism
Bnt her State authorities are radical, ana must
be changed. They must bow to the popular
will. They must admit the supremacy of the
yotCls ana of the taxpayers. They must be
made 10 do this. B1t hoWP In the first place,
they must be persuaded not only to cease pro.
digalty aud oppressive legislation, but u repeal
ali laws under VIII en- The former has been made
possible, and TO refuse appropriations for it,
and 10 repeal the latter. THIS can be effected
by finn and positive. yet moderate and liberal
course, combining the SudUteT n1 naodo with the
forTiteT IN re.
General Grants Snence-The Louisiana
Election.
From The Ne,O Orleans Times
That silence which was golden to the candi.
date may prove dfoss to the executive ruler. 1t
is, however but justice to General Grant to say
that persons who hold high position in the
ranks OF the Democracy express strong CONT
deuce not only IN his ability but in his honesty
and conseI vatism. They think that he Will
prove equal to any occasion which mas arise,
and that he Will disappoint the extreme views
alike of his friends and of his enemies.

Just what the Dem0crats' Mistake Was
From The NeiU orleans Bee
To us of the South this election teaches a les.
son by which we should profit. We now see
that Grant ought. from the first, to have been
the choice of the Democratic party, AS the on
man 10 the Government who was friendly TO the
Southern people, At the same time possessing
the confidence OF the Republican party, and
with that confidence the power to restore these
States TO the Union. The radicals, we must ad
nit might have chosen a worse man for us.
A Bitter Rebel View.
From the Memphis Avalanche.
The vote of the North Yesterday branded us as
outlsgs. Be II so. Let this outlawry rest upon
those who, for vile party purposes, have DuD-
Hshed us as such. Since prudence and submis-
sion TO humiliation and degradation bring III
Ao rel .ef we feel no interest IN the republic
and while we heretofore counseIled prudence
and have restrained the hand OF violence tOward
those who have brought up u us all our woes
we can only say to our friends, despIse the Gov
erument that oppresses you, and visit just anC
mer ed rer button upon the thieves aud carpet
baggers who have made us slaves.
Grant Is President We are at his mercy
But If the boudhoideTs and the enobs OF tht
North expect to roll in luxury and mAintaiI

will be sadly mistaken, for the tone and acts O
