The Probable Result.

There is not yet sufficient known to jus
tify the assertion that tho Radicals have
been routed everywhere throughout the
State; but that Gen. Hamilton Is the Gov
ernor elect there seems TO BIO no Doubt
II is probable that, Notwithstanding the
Loyal League and the admirably organized
effort to carry the blacks in body for the
ultra Radical ticket, about one-thira of
them managed to vote Conservative tickets.
1t is thought that if they had been manp-
ulnted BY neither party, at least one-half
of the negroes would have gone with the
Conservative party If, as the Radicals
have all along contenled, the negro is the
white mans equal, and equally rs quail
fed and competent as the white man to
vote, he ought to have white mans
chance; and We submit it to all fair and
candid men, if it is not wrong to take q
Democratic ticket from the hand Of ne
gro, when he had concluded to vote it, and
taking advantage of his simplicity, ignor-
ance or fear, compel him to put into
the ballot-box striped backed, or Radical
ticket? However much inscriptions and
defeated and disappointed, and embittered
Radicals may dispute the fact, this was
done at the election in this county. We
mention this fact to illustrate the incon-
sistcncy and insincerity Of those who have
used every art, honorable and dishonorable,
respectable and contemplate, to create the
impression on the minds Of the poor, ig-
norant, deluded blacks that THEY ars the
sole and peculiar white friends Of the
emancipnted race. If they think the ne
gro fit and competent person to vote, Of
course they should allow him volition in
the matter, and not attempt preventing
him from voting as he pleases. We can
tell the negroes that the Radicals are their
worst enemies, whose only interest in them
arises from their ability sometimes 10 use
them as tools 10 get themselves into office
when the vote of the white people would
certainly consign them to merited con.
tempt and oblivion,

We shall wait with great anxiety

We shall wait with great anxiety
to hear from the Senatorial election
in Dallas county. The Herald is
confident that Col. Record will be
elected and VIC trust that such may
he the result. Col. r. is q man of
superior ability, and his experience
as chairman Of the Judiciary com
mittee in the Senate, and the high
position he occupied in the last Son
ate and in the convention Of 1866
ssoint him out as the proper man TO
elect. Dallas holding central po-
sition and being place of wealth
and influence, il would be very un-
fortunate for her to elect one-horsc
Senator. There is now no doubt in
our mind about Col. Records elcc-
ton Kaufman Star.

TAKE II EAsY.-ln the late election
many well-meaning men were defeated for
office-men having within them all the
elements of true greatness and qualities
which, at some time or other, must be pop
ular with the people. We are far from
dclighting in haunting political opponents
with defeat. II is neither just nor digni-
fed for us to do so. We may feel rejoiced
Of the election Of favoritcs, and yet have
due respect for the feelings of such Of the
disappointed aspiranls as deserve respect.
To all such we say, in the words Of Mel
notte, che who seeks repentance for the
past must WOO the angel Virtue in the fu-
ture." To them, IL they shall WOO that
angel, there is better day coming. Let
them bear their present defeat with calm
dignity and manly fortituds, aud 1t may
be the very means, next time, or sometime
in the future, Of inducing the people to
receive them into their confidence and
place them in the Offices they desire. We
shall crow over the defeat Of none save
ultra, Loyal League Radicals, whose poll
tics il is the duty Of every honest man 10
despise.

Non.paying subscribers are thus

Non-paying subscribers are thus
talked of by a Western editor, who
expresses our sentiments fully.
Wagons cannot run without
wheels, boats cannot run without
steam, bull-frogs cannot jump with
out legs; or newspaper be carried
on evcrlastingly without money, no
more than a dog can wag his tail
when he has none. Our subscribers
are all good, but what good does a
mans goodness do when it don { do
any rood? We have no doubt that
every one thinks that all have paid
except himself, and as we are Glow
or fellow. aud as his account is a lit
tic matter, il makes no difference.

TIE CENsUs.-Next year will occur the
great deccnnial census of the United States
made by the general Government. Persons
will be appointed for every locality in the
States and Townships to gather statistics
of the inhabitants and of all the agricul-
tural productions, manufactures, etc.
Each cultiyator will be asked for concise,
accurate statement of land occupied by him,
the number of acres, and the amount of
each crop raised during the year, ending
June 80, next. Those who were called on
before will Doubtless remember the difficult
ty in making up an accurate report OF the
various crops. As these reports will be
called for in June it will be necessary to
give in the crops gathered in this fall, and
the suggestion that we would now make is
that cultivators write down while fresh in
mind, the number of acres Of each kiud,
the amount per acre. The product also
and the amount Of pork, etc.; will be ask,
ed for as we'll as all kinds Of fruits, etc.

A BRILLIANT NuMBER.-The Old Guard,
for December, is beyond doubt the most
brilliant Of the year, and this favorile
magazine improves on the ordinary plan of
monthly periodicals and gives the bes,
number at the close of the volume. The pa
pors are various, some profound, some anus
ing and oil entertaining. "Down Among
the Dead Men gives fresh and racy rccol
lcctions concerning Sam Houston, Richard
NJ. johnson, Cornelius p. Van Ness, Ste
phcn Z. Rice and their contemporaries;
"Anli-ShylockT and "Thc Mysterious Thief
are clever short stories, and "About Lodg.
iugs," chatty statement Of New York OK
periencc in single field. "About Sabres
and Such" and "Some Uses Of Lead are
instructive as well as pleasant; and "An
Old Munchausen' is very curious. The
Book Table and Editorial Department are
vigorous as usual; Mr.. Burr gives his vale
dictory, retiring to make way for Dr.. En-
glish under whose vigorous ability the vol
ume for 1870 will unquestionably, increase
in merit and popularity.
