cepted the fate from which the De-
r,6cracv nrofessed itself anxious to
save ms: and though our change OF
nosition renders their kindly offices
no Longer serviceable, and thus eX-
tinouishes all pretext for future claims
tn our co. operation, still, we should
rive them credit for whatever good
there might have been in their
i inH and not reproach them
with their inability to help US. The
result of these elections fully sustains
the wisdom and policy of the position
of the Agalanche. IF we. cannot sue
coed with such candidates, against the
heavy load Of odium which weighed
down the Radical party in the recent
election, what can we hope for in fu-
ture contests? It is again demon
strated that the Democracy is power
less for good, that we can never res
cue the Government from the hands
of Radicalism as long as that party
clings to dead issues. The war Is
ended; slavery is dead; reconstruc-
ton shows the Radical policy is an
accomplished fact; and if the Demo-
cratic party expects to beat back cor
ruption and fanaticism, it must make
clean sweep of old decisions,
start afresh, determining to bear
in patience what it cannot mend, and
to lend a hand to every honorable
plan to lift our beloved country from
its present depth of degradation 1t

narrowing, to put forever from us the
word Democracy" and to give up
old ideas deeply ingrained in every
fibre and ligament of our hearts.
But the preservation of the Constitu-
ton and the great interests of the
country demand that the national
Democracy should make that saeri-
fee which the historic Democracy of
old Virginia and the once unconquer-
able Democracy Of Mississippi and
Texas have made, and by which they
will yet be restored to their ancient
pride and power. When the Consti-
tuition Of the country, the liberties oil
the people, and the destiny of the
nation are imperiled, it is high time
for patriots to throw from their limbs
! the tattered garments of a past era
and to come out in a new and BETTING
garb. Old fogies, fogyism, worn oui

be discarded; give way to men full Of
strength, vigor and elasticity, and who
know the wants Of the country, nov
so entirely different to the wants 81

A MEAN ISLANDER.
Mrs. Ckm and How She Is Treated at
the Penltentiary. -,...

Some irresponsible scribbler some
two weeks ego published In the Gin
cinnati Enquirer (the New Albany
Ledger copying the article) most
false and slanderous statement as to
the manner in which Mrs. Nancy
Glenn, the Indianapolis murdeFess, is
treated at the Southern Penitentiary
at Jacksonville. The Enquirer cor
respondent stated that Mrs. Glenn had
things all her own way, enjoying the
liberty of the prison, and being dam
tily fed, with no labor to perform. He
the Warden of the prison, Col. Shuler,
and the Chaplain, Rev. j. w. Sulli-
van, intimating that they were crimi-
nally intimate with Mrs. Glenn and
therefore treated her more as a dis
tinguished guest than person con-
victed of bloody crime. 64TI-r
The whole statement of the En-
QuirerS correspondent IS most false.
and was no doubt begotten in malice.
There is not word of truth in the
whole article. Mrs. Glenn receives the
same kind of treatment as the other
female prisoners in the penitentiary.
She is compelled to perform her tasks
the same as other prisoners. She IS
kept employed in making and mend
ing clothing for the prisoners, and is
fed on prison fare. The rules of dis
oipline adopted in the prison are en-
forced against her with the same I'M
Partially and strictness they are
enforced against the other female
oonvicts. The vile charges of the
Enquirer upon the virtue of Warden
Shuler and Chaplain Sullivan are too
base and contemplate to have ema-
mated from any other than a most de-
PRAYED heart and malevolent mind.
They are totally false and without the
slightest foundation. = NcU AlbGny

Iron the Memphis Avalanche
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa held
elections for the State officers on
Tuesday last. In all three of these
States the Democracy put forth their
strongest men. They had the prestige
of such names IS Pendleton, Packer
and Gillespie, and made a courageous
fight; and notwithstanding the Radi-
Gals had to carry the odium and I'M
popularity Of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, they have still triumphed over
the Democratic party, led by its ablest
champions. Everybody knows that
negro suffrage is unpopular in the
North. 1t was defeated In Ohio two
years ago by fifty thousand majority;
yet, 80 deep-rooted is the hatred of
the Northern people toward the
Democratic party that they have sig
nified their willingness to accept
negro suffrage in preference to
accepting Democracy. On Tues
day last the Democratic party
of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iowa
fought the battle with every ad-
vantage. The names of Pendleton
and Packer inspired the full conf
dence of the party, and promised VIC
tory from the opening OF the canvass.
Both were national men whose servi-
ces would Worthily ell the require
ments of the widest sphere of public
duty to which they might be called.
Both have been named in a National
Democratic Convention for the Presi-
dency. The unpopularity Of the Eff
tcenth Amendment, which guarantees
negro suffrage, to which the North is
unaIterably opposed, was worth fifty
thousand votes to the Democratic
candidates. Still they were defeated.
This result shows that there is neither
mnlagnanimIty nor generosity in the
North, and that tina mad rage and fires
porn IN civil war have not vet
burned out-that public sentiment

craft
From the New Albany Ledger.l

THE ELEC1lO6Ss
It rarely happens that a party is
able to sustain itself the first year
after it has carried a Presidential
election. The : lukewarmness of
disappointed applicants for Office has
generally had the effect to so demor-
alize successful parties as to cause
temporary defeat. But the Repub-
licans have been more fortunate this
year. They have carried the two
great States Of Pennsylvania and
Ohio, electing their Governor and
maiorities in the Legislature in each.
True, as in Indiana last October, the
majorities are meagre; but they are
ali-suh1cient for the purpose. The
Radical party is retained ia power in
both, and their members Of Congress,
claiming that they are sustained by
the people, will 60 on with their pro-
scriptive legislation.
That these results Will be severe
disappointment to the Democrats and
Conservatives of the country 1t would
be useless to deny. That reaction an

1t would be well for Democrats TO
look facts straight in the face; and
one of these facts is, that, notwith-
standing its corruptions. its enormi-
ties, It's violations of the Constitution,
its trampling upon the rights of mi
noritles, this Radical party has a
strong hold upon the people, who
cling TO it with tenacity unexampled
in the history of political parties. We
do not believe, of course, that because

continue to vote with this party, they
therefore approve its cOrruptions and
