ECHOES OF OUR VICTORY.
The Harbinger of Prosperity.

From the Augusta Constitutionalissl
Congratulations are pouring In from all quar-
ters upon Charleston for the brilliant victory
of the Citizens ticket over the Radicals. One
of the most pleasing features OF The result is
that even the defeated party coacede that the
victory was not only decisive, but that 1t was
fairly achieved. They admit that they have nc
valid grounds for contesting the election, and
will submit without protest. After 30 stormy

quIlity of the city. 1t Is the harbinger oi
peace and good government. We hope ere

A Healthy Sign.
From the New York News.]

The defeat of the Radical party In the mu-
nicipal election In Charleston, s. c., Is really
healthy sign. Ira city which has been the strong
hold OF the corrupt and worthless creatures
who haye carpet-bagged from the North can
be cleansed of such parties, what may not be
hoped of the State, and eventually of the
Southern country? 1t is gratifying to observe
that all the respectable classes of c!tizens-the
native Carolinians. the NorLhern-bOrn resi-
dents OF character and respectablity, the Ger
banded together to defeat the carpet.bag
crew which has battened and gorged itself
with plunder so long at the expense'ot the
taxpayers of Charleston. The Mayor elect is
an eminent German citizen; the defeated can.
ddate Is Boston carpet-bagger, brother of
ssold woman" Parker Pillsbury.

A Deserved Defeat.
from the washington ChronIcle.l

The Republican party of that city has acted
an idiotlc part. 1t has long been cursed with a
set of desperate and reckless rascals, the worst
of whom were native white and colored men.
The best men in the party insisted that these
graceless scamps should not be nominated for
Office, but the Republican convention nomi-
mated ticket which the best men of the party
could not aud would not support. Several of
these were afterward set aside and better men
put on. Still the ticket was one which ought
TO have been beaten; and so far as 1t is con.
cerned we are not at oil sorry to record its de-
feat. The victory of the Conservatives will,
we hope. teach the Republican party that their
illiterate vagabends must be put down and
their best men be nominated. With such
nominations as the Republicans made ia
Charleston Except the Mayor and two or three
others) the party will be soundly beaten, and
ought TO be-.

rFrom the Baltimore Americana

The Interest In the Wharton case remains
vuabated, and each day develops some new
fact or rumor which affords material for specu-
lation and conjecture. While the unhappy
woman Is broodlng over the misery OF u
blasted reputation In the tower of the city jail,
the outside world Is busy with her past per-
formances In the way OF getting rid Of her
creditors, and if the half that is told is true,
there has not been such an expert in her Pc
culiar line since the days of the Countess
of Soissons That there should have been no
detection until the 18th of June, 1871, is one OF
those untathomable mysteries that cannot be
explained on any rational basis. Leaving out
xf the question the skill and acumen and pro-
fessional experience Of the eminent physicians
who treated some Of the supposed victims, it
would seem that, under the ordinary doctrine
of chances, there would have been some indls-
cretton, or blunder, or failure, that would have
aroused suspicion and led to an investigation.
But never In all the world before did polished
manners and high social position confer such
absolute impunity. Suspicion was disarmed
in her presence. When one poor heart-broken
woman, inconsolable over the loss OF her hus-
band and daughter, charged Mrs. Wharton
with ha wing caused their death, she was de-
clared to be lunatic. and by some OF the
friends of the accused has been so regarded
ever since.

They are also q religious body, for
they have pious Pope although ho is
not Pope Plus they have also an Abbee,
an Abbott, Dean and holy Palmer.
There is Bedc, Bee man, and a
Berg, the latter a mountain in himself.
In colors, there are four Browns, a
Green, White, aud Gray. For their
creature enjoyments there is q Bass, q

For their personal comfort there is a
Hutt, Kitchen, and Miller. Besides
these they have Smith, Cole man. and
Collier, Hack man, Dole, and Doll.

aud Steele, upon which to sharpen
their wits.

have professional Walker, Reed, no,
broken one, let us hope; only one Of
them is Sharp, and then there is but sin

quickly.
They have Bunch, and Birch, and

The War.

Tho Germans are bombarding Paris.
II was Thoughts at 6rst the city might be
taken without il. The Germans report
the burning Of two barracks, set on FIRE
BY the bombarding. The government at
Paris has issued Q decree announcing the
consolidation Of all the military organi-
cations Of the entire able bodied male
population with the regular army, for
the defence of the city. A commission
was appointed to carry out this decree,
consisting Of the governor of Paris and
president, the commanders Of the forts
and of the engineers corps.
New YoRK, Jan. GA Versailles let.
ter Of the 18th has the following: "The
loss Of the Germans from the casualties
OF war and from disease, is estimated at
a thousand day, aud this. Of course,
exclusive Of such battles as the late ones
under Paris, or around Orleans or Beau
gency. The French loss cannot be in
ferior, and is infinitely larger, If we take
into account the miserable prisoners OF
war who die beyond tho Rhine from ia.
tigue and exposure to the cold. These
prisoners cannot be much under five
hundred thousand. Paris taken, that
number would be doubled. Indeed, it
must be serious question with the
Prussians what they will do with their
million of prisoners if the war is to 90
