 A Discrepancy. o&9 e.t gs3
 Following the lead of the World, the Bridgeport Farmer claims the election of Walker in Virginia as triumph of '.De- mocracy." pure and undiluted: Ai :" .aA.-. The defeat of Wells is also a great victory. He was the leading representative of the Republican party of the Country in the State and was suppor- ted by Grant and se suhole po,oe' of the military. Hts defeat IS defeat of ahe Administration; his and the whole pack of Congressional Jacobins who have thus far made it point in reconstructing the South to rule or ruin. Walker, the successful candidate for Governor is Republican it is true; he is not ona af thnse who believe that it is ei- ther right or expedient to continue policy which disfranchises the whites of the South and at the same time extends the right of suffrage to every black and ignorant field or farm hand that may choose to apply for it. His election therefore, is justly considered great triumph by the Conser- vatives and by Democrats generally.
 In connection with the foregoing, we give the following original document, which scarcely harmonizes with the Fur! m,e,.s view: ail 4@h} esill5lq1a&4 ,f1'&

 MR PRESIDENT: On behalf of the State Executive Committee of the Walker party, I congratulate you on the triumph of your policy in Virginia. The gratitude of the people for your iberality is greatly enlivened by the overwhelming majority by which that policy prevails; [ H & ,,,t,1 IL To His Excellency U. s. GRANT President of the
 United States ,d rref 4.,.,. .s.,. -..,.
 The Associated Press reports of Friday furnish the following epitome of the newly elected governors speech, also conflicting somewhat, it strikes us, with the Farmers statement: .... a,,..... .,..;.,
 Upon reaching the hotel, Mir. Walker appeared between the national and state flags, held by rep resentatives of the two races and after few min- utes of deafening cheers, made brief speech, ,say ing, after congratulating the audience on the com plete victory, that on this moment of his triumph they must not forget charity for the defeated. They must remember that the votes cast against the ticket were given by ignorant and dsuded others. We must remember that we have succeed ed on the platform of universal suffrage and equal rights; and we must see that those who opposed us, as we'll as those who supported us, have all their rights and are protected fully by the law. Loud Oheers.l They must be educated and that has been conferred upon them, and the true value of being citizen. We must not forget that the opportunity of winning this victory was given us through the iberaiityl of President Grant. that it's fruits are for the benefit of all. ' 5a11s
 Perhaps if the Democracy had concluded to go in for Gov. Jewell last spring, and then, after his election, the editor of the Farmer had waved flag on one side of him and some respectable colored citizen on the other, while he congratulated Con- necticut on the notifications of the 10th Amendment, and thanked President Grant for his assistance, that would have made it a Democratic victory We sincerely hope the Democracy will go right on winning victories by electing straight Republicans on straight Republican platforms. We can stand it as long as they can. o1 oa!lal aTad

 THE VIRGINIA ELECTION. oN.-The election in Virginia on Tuesday of last week results in the election of Walker, Conservative, Republican, by majority of about 4O, 900; in the rejection of the Test Oath and Dis franchising clauses and theadoption ofothe rest of the new constitution.l Two Congress sional candidates on the Wells ticket, one Independent, and six on the Walker ticket, have been elected. The Legislature is largely conservative. The result was ef-s fected by union of the Republicans opa dosed to disfranchisment, and the consers vatives. That tho disqualifying clauses of the constitution were rejected, is happy result of the combination Politicians will look for further developments with con- siderable interest >sst. Io nf1Al 54l no

 s@- The Ohio Democrats have repeated the joke of 1864, when a war man was nominated on peace platform. They have nominated Gen. ERosecrans for Gov ernor and passed resolutions, demanding the taxation of D. s. bonds and their pay ment in greenbacks, closing with 2 threat of repudiation denouncing the present tariff. the Fifteenth Amendment, and the National Banking system.
