The Triumph Inn Misssis-
siprpi md Texas.


The brilliant Republican victories
in the late elections In Mississippi
and Texas, are splendid evidences
of the deep-rooted strength of
the Republican party, and of the
popularity of Grants administration.
A month ago, DENTS election in Mis-
sissippi was regarded as foregone
conclusion, and little better was ex-
pected in Texas than rebel demo-
cratic triumph. But 1t now appears
that it was the rebel and conservative
element which did the blowing, and
the loyal republicans that did the vot-
ing. Official returns have not yet
been received, but the majorities in
both States are sufficient to leave no
doubt .of a complete / Republican
triumph. The result will have. a
powerful influence in the South to
discourage the reactionists and to
inspire with confidence the progress
sive and loyal elements. Had we
lost these elections, the South would
have been hopelessly lost to the Re.
publican party; but the victory will
go far towards securing that section
to Republication when 1t takes
its final political stand upon the
issues of the day. In connection
with the fall elections in the North
and West, 1t mus. force the Demo-
cratic party into reorganization, or
into giving up the ghost. 1t is prae-
cally dead in the South, and, like the
COW run over by the locomotive, a
good deal discouraged in the North.
With a wise administration of the
finances and material interests of the
county, the Republican party may
rule the country for fifty years longer.
Cedar Falls gazette. [volume] (Cedar Falls, Iowa) 1860-1895, 1869-12-10

We print, this week, synopsis of
President Grants first annual mes
sage, which gives succintly its salient
points, and from which its general
character may readily be gather
ed. 1t is by no means a brilliant
document, from a literary point of
view, but is plain, common sense
and practical, like Its author. Its
recomfieriaasions will, for the most
part, be received with favor 10y the
people, and probably secure the APP
prevail of Congress. So far as ii
touches upon politics, it is up to the
standard of radical Republicanism.-
It's righteous recommendation to
Congress, to adopt such legislation as
will restore the negroes expelled from
the Georgia Legislature TO their seats,
will doubtless be carried out, and will
secure the reconstruction of Georgia
upon the sound basis of equal
rights,
But the recommendations of the
President i'm relation to the finances
will scarcely receive such general
approval rs his political views. We
confess We are surprised that he
should recommend such o thing as
the government shaving its own
notes. For Congress to pass law
providing for the payment of the
greenbacks at less than par would
amount practically to this. 1t would
be an act of bad faith. or as an ex-
change aptly terms it, voluntary
bankruptcy" For every greenback
dollar the government has promised
to pay dollar. To redeem these
promises at 20, or so, or 80, or even 90
cents, would not be to fulfill that
promise. Our opinion is that Con-
gress should not make a declaration
of bankruptcy by offering to pay the
governments paper, past due, at less
than par. Let it resume If 1t will,
but resume honorably and in such
manner as shall not impare our credit.
We verify believe the plan proposed
by the President would delay instead
of Fastening specie resumption. 1t
would send our credit down, down,
and render impossible the negotiation
Of the four per cent. loan about
which the President is so sanguine.
1t is not probable that Congress will
adopt the Presidents financial
policy.
The other portions of the Message
are satisfactory, and call for no
special comment. ......

The Resumption Ques-
ton.

A few weeksago itseemed probable
that strong effort would be made,
on the reassembling of Congress, to
bring about an immediate resumption
of specie payments. 1t IL more than
probable, however, that the rumors
and outgivings to that effect were
put forward as feelers of public SEN
timent, and public sentiment having
proved adverse to immediate and for
chile resumption, all serious efforts
to that end will probably be abandon
ed. The advocates of resumption, as
it looks now, will confine their at
Temps to putting through Congress
a scheme of gradual resumption. Ell
ther that recommended 10y the Presi-
dent or some of the other numerous
plans with which the brains of
would.be financial reformers and
of sciolists are bursting.
OF the chance of success Of any of
these schemes it is yet too early in
the session to speak with confidence.
The most prominent financial mea-
sure brought forward at this writing
is the bill presented by Senator Sum-
ner, "to amend the banking act and
promote the return to specie pay
ments." 1t repeats so much of the
banking act as limits the circulation
to $500, 900, 900, but provides that no
additional national bank notes shall
be issued unless the Secretary of the
Treasury shall, at the same time,
destroy like amount of greenbacks.
This would hasten resumption by
contracting the greenback issue. but
would not afford the relief which
the country demands, viz: an in
crease of circulating medium. I'M
mediate and forcible resumption
would better effect this object, mas
much as it would bring the gold and
silver into circulation, and thus add
to the volume of circulating medium.
If government had the gold to redeem
at once, this one consideration would
shear resumption of half its terrors.
1t would not cause so much depress-
sion in values as people imagine,
because 1t would give US more money
with which to transact business, and
give us also the elements of certainty
and confidence which are required to
induce capitalists to launch out in
new enterprises and prosecute old
ones with vigor. Mr.. Sumner, who
does not dare, or is not prepared, to
ask for immediate resumption, asks
for something that would not afford
half the relief to business.
We believe the country generally
desires an extension of the national
bank circulation, but an extension
that will afford genuine relief. This
Mr.. Summers plan will not do. We
wait with interest for the next propo-
sition, hoping our Legislators will
confine their attention to giving the
country sufficient money with which
to conduct its business, and leave re-
sumption to come i'm its own good
time. We are now working slowly.
but rapidly enough, towards specie
payment without special legislation,
and with an active and prosperous
condition of business Ii will come as
soon as il Is desirable to have it come.
