THE implacable hostility of II. G..
toward General Grant as politician
has lately broken out in this way
'sGeneral Hancock's reply to the
democrats who have been urging him
to become their candidate for governor
in Pennsylvania, does him tardy credit.
1t would have been better for his fame
il he had made the discovery some
time earlier, say at New Orleans for
example, that he could not credtably
interfere with politics so long as he re-
NAMED in the army. uthe has shown
himself so good a Soldier and so poor a
politician that we are glad to note, even
at this late day, the symptoms Of his
intention to confne himself hereafter
to business he understands"
This is rebuke to General Grant
for interfering with politics so long
as he remained in the army; and an
rntimation to HIM that he. ought here
after to coDfine himself to business he
understands, the military duties de-
volving on him as general-in-chlef of
the army,-and let politicians run the
government after the 4th of next
month. There is a mixture Of impu-
dence and severity about the extract
which will interest Grant Chicago

THE VIRGINIA. ELECTION

The fears Of the defeat of Governor Wells to
which we gave expression on Tuesday have
been fully realized, the Walker party having
carried the State by majority of about
10000, and secured majority of about fifty
on joint ballot in the Legislature. The leader
of the successful faction, however, claim that
the result is an endorsement of the Presidents
policy, and the chairman of the Walker State
Executive Committee even goes so far as to
congratulate the President on the victory
which they have achieved. If this is to be
taken as true index to the sentiment of the
dominant party, the defeat of Governor Wells,
combined with the ratification of the new
Constitution, is not a subject for serious re-
greet The defeat of the Constitution itself
would have been nothing less than a misfor-
tune for Virginia. Its ratification, although
the disability and test-oatb clauses have been
stricken out, shows that the people of the
Old Dominion are willing and anxious to re-
sumo their normal relations to the Union. If
the successful party steers clear of the folly
in which Georgia indulged, and makes no
attempt to deprive the colored men who have
been legally elected to Office of their ositions
all will be WELL and Virginia will once more
enter upon career of prosperity.

gratifying to believe that it is largely on the
increase at the present time. Let the indie
pendent votersbe increased until they become
a power in the land that politicians will be
bound to respect, and then many of the evils
of party government will easily be corrected.
There is now fine opportunity for this class
of voters to distinguish themselves. Both
the Republican and Democratic conventions
have put up men who never ought to be
elected to any offices whatever. These men
have been nominated in utter defiance of
public opinion; and if the people who have
the decision of the matter in their own hands
prefer to be swindled by such scamps, the
fault is with themselves and not with the sys-
tenn of goYernment.

Special Despatch 10 The EUe1,ing Telegraph
SCRANTON, Sept. S.-The scene at the mines this
morning, when the bodies OF the miners were
brought out, were most heart-rendng. Up to the
last IL oment the wives children and relatives hoped
against hope that the doomed men might be found
alive but as one blackened corpse after another was
brought out, the low sObs OF the women broke out
into shrieks and walls Of agony they recognized
the remains of their friends. Even the men were
not unmoved by the piteous spectacle, and many an
eve was dmmed with tears as the bodies of COM
rades, relatives, and friends were laid side by side
upon the grass. The men who were engaged in
forcing their way into the mine worked with untring
energy, and, II any spur was needed, the agonzed
entreaties OF the women encouraged them to SUPER
human eXertiOns.
1t was sad to see the little children cnging to their
mothers, and wailng in sympathy with them,
although they unable TO understand the full
meaning of the fearful disaster. Some shTank back
in alright from the almost unrecOgnizable corpse of
father or brother, unable to comprehend that this
could be the strong, active body so full of life and
health a few days ago.
The spectacle Of these poor creatures wailing over
the maugled remains of their loved ones would suf
flee to ill even the most hardened with narrowing
memories for "a lifetime, and | sincerely hope that
Imay never be called upon to witness anything of
the Kind again. The sensation caused by this fear
full disaster is most profound, and much Indignation
is expressed that there was means of outlet and
the effect will probably be that measures will be
taken in all the mines to prevent, far it is pos
sible, any such horrible accidents in the future.
