system of prescription and test oaths,
the counterpart Of that which has pre-
vailed here. The whole power Of the
Federal Administration and ofthe newly
enfranchised negroes was brought into
requisition to maintain the Radical
party in Missouri last Tuesday, but the
people rose in their might and swept
the whole proscriptive system out OF
existence. The liberal State ticket Is
elected by about 10000 majority and
the opponents of GRANTS policy have
gained five members of Congress. The
Missouri delegation in the present Con-
gress contains two Democrats ard seven
Radicals; in the next it will contain
two Radicals, two Liberals and five
Democrats. Thus has Missouri fol
lowed molly in the wake of West Vir-
sinia and freed herself from the tolls of
the oppressor
In Nevada, the Democrats have
elected the Governor, a gain of over
1900 votes.
The present Congressional delegation
Of New jersey contains three Demo
Gratis and two Republicans; in the next
Congress it will contain two Democrats
and three Republicans, Democratic
loss of one. The Legislature is also
Republican which secures either the
reelection of CATTELL to the United
States Senate, or Of some other Rcpub-
lican in his place. The Democrats Of
New Jersey seem to have been too busy
watching the result Of Federal inter
! ference in New York to devote much
attention to matters at home.
In New York, despite the fraudulent
census, the United States Marshals,
the gunboats and the soldiers, HoFF-
MAN is elected by over $4,000 ma
jority, gain of 10000 over the Presi-
Dental vote two years ago. The Dem
ocrats also gain three members of Con-
gress, the delegation consisting OF six
teen Democrats and fifteen Republi-
cans as against thirteen Democrats and
eighteen Republicans in the present
House.
Rhode Island is carried by the Radi-
Gals as before
The Democrats have carried Tennes-
see, elccting the Governor and Legisla-
ture, and gained five members of Con-
gress. Considering the vast negro vote
which was cast for the Radical cand!-
dates, this is a most cheering result,
From Virginia the news is meagre as
yet, though it is probable that We have
gained one member of Congress there.
1t is also claimed that the Democracy
have gained one member Of Congress in
Wisconsin.
Considering all the circumstances,
the November elections have resulted
more favorably to the Democracy and
more disastrously to the Radicals than
was expected. The accession of ne
g-ocs to the Radical ranks has 10y nc
means elualled the number OF white
men who have severed their connection
with the party, and the administration
of GRANT stands to-day virtually re,
buked and repudiated by the white
voters Of the country. OF course, the
Radical party will still have majority
in Congress-it was scarcely within the
range of possibility to avoid this-but
its defiant two-thirds has been destroyed
and, with it, the power to repeat many
of the fragrant outrages Of the present
Congress. The Democracy will proba'
bly, have about one hundred mem
bers of the House of Representatives,
instead of sixty-sevcn, which is our
present strength. If this does not indi-
cate something of a reaction against
Radical rule, we are at loss to know
what would be considered such an indi
cation. Where the Radical candidates
have been elected, it has been by re-
duced majorities, negro vote and all !;
while in many notable instances they
have suffered defeat If this is as graft
fying to the Radical newspapers as some
of them seem to affect, they will certain
! " come out strong in the MARX
TArLEY vein, when a Democratic Pres-
dent is elected in 1872, as it now seems
probable will be the case.
