What the Governor Elect Of Virginia
= Says Of IL and Of General Grant.
The victorious Walker "a New Yorker by
the way, the Governor elect of Virginia, is a
trump, man of decided abilities, and prac-
teal statesman. His congratulatory speech TO
his friends in Richmond over their splendid
triumph in their late election is all that could
be desired. He sticks to the principles upon
which he fought the good fight, the removal of
existing disabilities from white men, test
oaths, acknowledgements, &C., and says 81
am now, as 1 have ever been, for equal and
exact justice to all men without regard to race
or color" He has no Ill will OF resentment
for the deluded and misguided radical blacks.
He goes for educating them up to the compre
hension of their political rights and duties.
That done, ''no more will ignorance be ar
rayed against intelligence, and organized
pauperism against property but all, without
regard TO race or color, will strive together in
generous rivalry for the common good of our
glorious old mother"
This is good, but the Governor elect
does not forget to give the honor where
the honor is mainly due. He says to
DE conservative party that ''you and I
stand shoulder to shoulder with the President
of the United States for the emancipation of
the white race in the South"-that's the great
point; that 81 have everywhere done honor
to the President" that ''we are indebted to the
personal efforts Of the President to-day that
the manacles have been stricken from the
limbs of thirty thousand white Virginians.
And again, sYOu have made concessions I'M
paralleled in history, but ''you have redeem
ed Virginia" and s'she is just about to start
upon new career, glittering like the morning
star, full of life and glory" Thus, then, we
understand the whole case. The radical car
pet-baggers in Virginia, and the misguided
black element behind them, are swamped, and
the white elements, representing the inteli-
gence, capital and property of the State, with
the intelligent black balance of power in their
support, have secured the State, through the
election rules ordered by General Grant estab
fishing fair play upon the special issues before
the people. Forney is sorely distressed; but
Forney will have to look sharp or he may before
long find himself cut loose from the administra-
ton. The day of Southern negro supre-
macy is gone, and the day of the emancipation
and supremacy of the Southern whites has
come and, according to Governor Walker, its
Inauguration in Old Virginia is mainly due to
President Grant, and it is towering feather
in his cap in the illustration of his reconstruc-
ton policy.

More Horrors Of the Middle Passage.

Moro Horrors Of the Middle Passage.
The appalling Outrages that occurred on board
the James Foster, Jr., are yet fresh In the
memory, and again we are shocked by an &C
count of the treatment experienced by immi-
grants on board the Alexander Marshall 1t
is true that the blame this time is laid upon
the ships servants, and the account mentions
that the captain, tho officers and the doctor
were kind. This is very well as far as it
goes but considering that those officers, espe-
cially the captain and the doctor, are the most
responsible parties on board of an emigrant
them. The case of the Alexander Marshall,
il the account handed to us is correct, has the
look of forced contributions levied from the
poor immigrants by the parties whose duty it
is to see that the government regulations are
duly complied with, and it behooves the cap
tain and doctor especially to see that they are
properly carried out, and these officers are
liable for any Infringement that may be made
by the cooks or stewards to the detriment of
the passengers. The matter of good food,
pEOptfty pfcpdftu, Ou Dodtu vi al omlBIuut
ship, is the most important feature-the more
so when delicate women and children are in the
case. Considering the great impulse that has
been given to immigration and the induce
ments that have been held out for foreigners
to come to this country, it becomes the bounden
duty of the authorities to look after and pre-
vent the repetition Of such cruelties and bad
treatment. The horrors of the old slave
trade, so ably commented on by poets and
philanthropsts, fall into the shade before these
emigrant ship cruelties recently brought before
the notice of the public. 1t is to be hoped that
the proper authorities will take cognizance Of
the occurrences on board of the Alexander
Marshall, and If the reports are proven they
should mete out suitable punishment not only
to the actual culprits, but also to those whose
duty 1t is to rectify any abuses that may be
committed by their servants.

Boutwell,, the Gold Gambler
and tho ShylOcks.

Secretary Boutwell,, the Gold Gamblers
and tho Shylocks.
During the ten or twelve days preceding
yesterday the Shylocks Of Wall street had
been feasting on the necessities of those who
were compelled to be borrowers of money.
All sorts of extravagant rates of interest were
paid, in some instances as high as one hundred
and eighty per cent per annum. OF course
such a state of things would eventually lead
to mercantile bankruptcy and ruin for, while
the gamblers Of Wall street may venture to
pay such figures, they are fatal to ordinary
business. The first blow dealt to the Shylocks
was q purchase by the Secretary Of three
millions Of bonds one day last week. They
were inclined to think this was only piece of
bravado on his part, and went to work tight
ening money again. But he repeated the blow
yesterday, much to their CONSERVATION and
confusion, by purchasing still another three
millions of bonds. The money thus added to
that in circulation is producing the needed re-
Taxation of the money market.
Secretary Boutwell, is only repeating sue
cessfully piece of strategy which he en-
ployed equally successfully against the gold
gamblers last spring. When the spectators
ran up the premium on the importing mer-
chants and others having an immediate want
for gold he supplied the market from the
Treasury and put the price down again. Now
that the Shylocks have locked up and made
scarce the greenbacks, which are the founda-
ton of banking operations and thus the main
stay of mercantile operations, he is beginning
to turn out his currency balance, which,
owing to the payments of income taxes at
this season, is phlethoric. Secretary Bout
we'll will make his administration by thus
taking the side of the merchants and the pub
lie against the gold gamblers and the
Shylocks.

MINISTER MoTLEY.-Mr. Reverdy Johnson
made muss of things by eating too much
plum pudding and roast beef, and by drinking
United States Minister in England. Good din
ners make men talk often little too much and
often unadvisedly. Minister Johnsons mis-
sion was a failure. Minister Motley knows the
reason why. Rumor has it that Motley has
fallen into Johnson's error. We hope not. 1t
will be well, however, for Mr.. Motley to be on
his guard. Unguarded speeches, though
spoken in private, sometimes reach the public
ear. A word to the wise is enough.

A DEMOCRATIC VIoToRY.-One of our New
York copperhead journals having taken one
day to explain to the Northern democracy
why the Walker party in Virginia accepted
negro equality, negro support, negro votes,
providing for universal negro suffrage, comes
out next day and claims the result in Virginia
as democratic victory. But is Tammany
Hall ready to follow this example? That is
now the question. Surely the great victory in
Virginia points the way to the ruling party of
the future.

The Nfismnnasemost of Sing Sing Prison.
The HERALD has from time to time of late
had occasion to refer to the management of
affairs at the Sing Sing Prison. Reports de-
failing how the affairs of this institution are
conducted have found due prominence in the
columns of this journal, and to Judge from the
EXPOSES which have been made we feel in
cined to the opinion that the practice pursued
in reference to the treatment of prisoners in
carcerated there is far different from what
should exist under proper administration Of
prison rules. AS the management of this es-
tablishment rests wholly with the prison in
spectors of the State they are responsible for
the loose manner in which the business of the
institution is conducted. It is no uncommon
thing to find that individuals who have been
condemned to term Of imprisonment within
the walls of this prison are permitted to
visit, whenever the keepers may consent, the
village in the immediate vicinity-roam at
large, as it were, and to all intents and pur-
poses, for the time being at least act as free
as those who have never been brought within
the pale Of the law for transgressing any of its
provisions. That this state of things exists we
are credibly informed, and it reflects severely
on the management Of the institution. Why,
prison life under such circumstances is farce,
the law q burlesque, and the incarceration
of criminals under such q rule miserable
mockery The people of this city are under
the impression that, once q prisoner is con-
demned by legal tribunal for the offences
with which he is charged, and "sent up" to
spend specified term of months or years,
as the case may be, under no circumstances
should he be permitted to leave his prison,
unless by an order Of court of competent
jurisdiction, the pardon of the Governor, or
when his term of imprisonment has expired.
These and only these are the conditions Of his
release. Yet how loosely are the legitimate
expectations of the people carried out. That
prisoners are allowed too much liberty and
that the employees Of our prisons are lax in
their duties we are compelled to admit. just
fancy number Of prisoners taking possession
of vessel and attempting to escape under q
proper system of discipline; or imagine the
same class of people committing or attempting
to commit outrages outside their prison walls,
If ordinary prison rules were observed. Why,
these things would be impossible. It is not
our intention to urge severity, but to claim
justice-justice to honest people by the proper
treatment of prisoners according to the require
ments of the law during their term Of service.
Only this and nothing more.

THE PATTY PRESS ON THE NEW POLITICAL
REVOLUTION Down SOUTH. The party press
does not understand it. The Virginia battle
perplexes the politicians of both parties North.
To the radical ultras it is an ugly defeat of
men with the success of negro equality. To
the copperheads it Is a success over the radi-
cal ticket, involving q surrender of the prin-
ciples of the democracy. But it is for all that
the Inauguration of new political revolution,
with new Southern balance of power.

as miraculous as that of the three
Hebrew youths ''upon whose bodies the
fire had no power" This does not fully state
the case. Not only have we sustained little or
no injury. We have grown in might and
majesty. We have increased in wealth and
influence. The late war revealed to ourselves
our greatness and that greatness is now con-
Hence the magnetic power which these shores
have over the millions of Europe, and hence, too,
the confidence which the peoples have found
in themselves. Unpopular government be such
blessing why should not that blessing be
shared by all ? Expressed or unexpressed,
this is the revolutionary sentiment Of the hour;
and the sentiment is as much terror to
tyrants as it is an anchor of hope to the OPP
pressed.
With the growing power of steam, electricity
and the printing press, and with the increas
ingly influential example Of the United
States, we may expect to witness
more wonderful changes in Europe. We
scarcely know what we are. We can form no
adequate conception of what we are to become.
With truth we can say all our victories are
victories in the interests of Christian civiliza-
ton and human progress. All our movements
are onward and upward. As we move on
the peoples everywhere feel the impulse and
take courage As we triumph liberty all the
world over nails victory to her standard Our
success already makes it certain that the time
is not far distant when the monarchs, the
olgarchs, the monopolists, the tyrants Of the
Old World, by whatever name named, shall be
no more. We approach that grand period
which shall witness the parliament of man,
the federation of the world.
