The Political Reaetion.

The Pslitical Reaetisa.
We commend to the attention Of our read.
ers this sensible editorial article from the
Boston Herald:
The political reform movement which is
to take definite shape ut Cincinnati next
month is gaining daily and hourly acces-
sions Of strength. The youngest, most &C
tive and most thoughtful elements of both
looking to it with ardent hope. No thinking
man doubts the necessity Of q thorough re-
form in the government and eternal
vigilance on the part of the people; and
when we hear politicians declaring
that the country was never governed
so well before, and that there is no occasion
for q change. we know. that they are not
interested in the general welfare of the
| country, but find the present order of things
favorable to their own selfish interests, or
that they are so wrapt up in their partisan
ship that they fail to discern the signs OF
the times. The present movement is y nat
ural reaction from the tendencies developed
by the war. In the struggle for national
existence the federal government found
it necessary to assume great powers,
and the people, inspired by patriotism, &C.
quiesced without a murmur.
The creation Of large debt. q national
erers, and the grave problem Of recOnstruc-
ton in the Southern States, have strength
ened this centralizing tendency, and led
TON some cases excused-such encrOach-
ments on the rights of the States as would
not have been .ventured upon Or submitted
to before the war. A redundant currency
and excessive taxation have been favorable
to the formation of rings of SPECTATORS, and
habits of extravaganza, engendered in the
or Of hox, dan Gff91r hold 10
and opened the way to corruption in places
OF trust. The evil results of this course of
things appear in every department Of life
until they are forced upon the attention OF
the people.
Our commerce languishes; speculation
has superseded legitimate business, and
every year increases the mountain of for
eign indebtedness, the interest on which
drains the country of all the specie pro-
duced. If our bonds should be returned
upon us, asthey might be in case of war; a
terrible blow to our credit would be una
vOidable, and we could only borrow money
at ruinOus rates. These things are known
to be facts in business circles, and the sub
stantial elements of our population are
ready for change.
Slavery is dead, the Southern States are
reconstructed, the negroes vote and hold
office, the debt is in manageable condition.
1t is high time to attend to the material in
terests Of the country and to guard our own
liberties. This is what the reform move
ment means, and this, please God, will be
achieved by the measures which will be
adopted at Cincinnati. The Democratic
party is dead and buried; the Republican
party has finished its work and is waiting
for its own funeral; the new party which is
to succeed to the government will contain
the best elements and principles Of both
the old ones

A probate judge in Alabama refused to
issue a license for the marriage Of black
man and white woman, on account OF
State statute forbidding miscegenAtion
under penalty of $1,000 fine. 1t was
claimed that the refusal was in defiance of
the civil rights act Of April 9, 1866, and the
case was submitted to Attorney General
Williams. He has decided that the civil
rights act was not set at naught, because
the law OF Alabama, under which the
license was refused, applies to whites as
well as blacks, and 20 makes NO distinction
between the two races. >.

A Great Revolution In the State Poli-

Thousand neutrality-suspicious. Con-
gressmcn Elected.
RICHMOND, Nov. 4 1872.
Full county returns come In slowly, but from off,
cia and unofcial reports it appears that In forty
two counties and three cities Grant has gained
about $4,000 on the Walker majority OF
1860, leaving about 1000 to overcome in the
remaining ffty-seven counties. The republicans
are now claiming the State by from 5000 to 5000
The heavy gains reported to-day indicate very
marked change in the aspect Of the Congressional
delegation 1t is now claimed by the republicans
that they have not only elected their Representa-
tves in the Second, Third and Fourth districts but
also in the First Fifth and Sixth, leaving only the
Seventh, Eighth and Ninth for the democrats
There is, however, doubt In regard to the First
Fourth and Sixth districts.
A special to the Dispatch from Lynchburg says
that Whitehead (democrat) is elected in the Sixth
district by 200 majority. In Ptttsylvanla and Henry
counties the republican gain is 469 These counties
are in the Filth district, In which the contest be-
tween Davis ldemocrap and Thomas republican,
Is doubtful. Thomas telegraphs that he is elected
