THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY AT
WASHINGTON,

The magnificent victory achieved by oul
friends in the District of Columbia is thu
occasion of rejoicing all over the country
1t is everywhere felt to be something more
than mere local triumph. The battle
was hotly contested at every point. The
issues made up were broad and national,
There were no merely local questions to
affect the result, beyond the interest which
all business men felt in the ascendency OF
a party whose past record justified their
confidence. The election was untainted
BY any possible frauds. 1t was peaceful
and undisturbed almost beyond precedent.
It's result is a vindication of the great
party whose representatives have jsst
closed their labors at the Capitol where the
election was held. 1t is substantial en-
dorsement of the stern legislation with
which Congress closed its session. In the
stirring words of Col Forney, of the
Philadelphia Press:
1t closes the period of Republican dissension
and opens the future of Republican victory. II
is death to the defeat that springs from perso,
nal quarrels, and life to the spirit born of per-
soual magnanimity. Itsaves the capital of the
nation from periodical discussions about ipl
possible removal to doubtful localities. 1t in.
dicates the ability of the colored man to epioy
the liberty won by the bullet and consecrated
BY the ballot. 1t rescues the capital fromsin-
2uences which, however capable, must have
been certainly calamitous.
Itinvites to you Northern men and North
ern money; and through you pours emigra.
tion, enterprise, and wealth all over the fertile
and semi populated expanses of the South.
Had you failed in your struggle to day, the
great capital started by Washington and saved
by Grant would have been q sort of Flanders
between the North and South, where discor dant
factions, shaming the name of Democracy,
would have plotted new distrust in the one.
and new devastation and treachery in the other.
But from this night you date a new evangel-
ism. You begin another career; and in the
name of the millions who are getting prouder
every day Of their country, as they contrast it
with the lacerated condition of such nation
as poor, bleeding France, so do they become
prouder of the capital of that country. In
their name. and as one who has followed your
fortunes through good and through evil re-
port, congratulate you on the magnificent
victory of to-day.

THE KU-KLUx BILL.

We print to-day full abstract of the
bill to enforce the fourteenth amendment
setting forth clearly all its provisions. We
congratulate the country upon this mag
nificent addition to the securities of the
citizen. We thank Congress for its pa
thence and tenacity and thoroughuess with
which it has performed its work. We
thank the President for the deep personal
interest that he has manifested in the adop-
ton of precautionary measures against
new rebellion. We send our congratula-
.tions to the hunted and periled thousands
of our loyal friends in the barbarous dis
tricts of the South. They can now appeal
with confidence for national protection.
The way is open everywhere to the courts
of the nation.
Good men of all parties will rejoice
when they examine this bill without pre-
Judice and find its penal provision pointed
only against the cruel and the wicked.
That its guarantees of protection cover
every innocent man whose life, liberty
property or peace of mind is in jeopardy
from threats or open violence. 1t is
great advance towards true national life
It will stimulate the growth OF loyal senti-
nents and attach the Southern people to
he government more firmly than any mis-
'alled measures of pacifcation.
We wish we could chronicle along with
bill to repress gerrymanderiog. That
will come next, we trust. We are making
teady progress towards national unity. |
'ut we can never attain it fully till we
ave national system of education which
'uts every child in the schools, That will
. the crowning achievement, and is sure
} come in due time.

Editorial Excursion 1t was stated
several days ago that an excursion party of
editors from the State of New York would
shortly visit Richmond. The Staunton Vir.
g'nian gives the following particulars, which
IL probably derived from Mr.. Hotchkiss
"Mr. N. ii. Hotchkiss, the soliciting agent
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and the
York River railroad, has made arrangements
to give about thirty Northern editors free
ride from Elmira, N. Y, to Baltimore-thence
to Richmond-thence to Stauuton, where they
will remain a day at the Virginia hotel-thence
10 the White Sulphur Springs, where they
remain several days. They will then return
to Richmond, continue their trip to Danville,
Va, and Greensboro, N. G. Then they will
return by the same route to their homes. Mr..
ID s idea is to afford these knights of the old
grey goose an opportunity to see for them
selves the State of Virginia, mix with our
people, and form their impressions from actual
facts"
