The Glorious Result in Georgia.

The result in Georgia at the State cleo
ton on the ID Of this month, is perfectly
magnificent. Thirty or forty thousand
majority in the empire State Of the South
for Greeley Governor is an event that
will ring from one end of the Union to the
other. |, is bombshell of immense d.
mansions thrown into the Grant Camp
The Democracy and Liberal Republicans
in Georgia have won this fight against
great odds. In no State is the power Of
the Administration greater, and in none
has it been more unscrupulously exercised.
II is full of oaice-holders. The negro
vote, too, which tue ot6ce.holders have
banded together, is almost equal to that
Of the whites. There are l27 900 white
voters aud 1885, negro voters, Under
these circumstances and against the bayo:
uet-for the State is covered with soldiers
to have given from 10000 to 10000
majority is az achievement that reflects in.
finite credit upon the patriotic sons Of the
last settled of The old thirteen States.

Mr.. Hereford, who spoke aud voted
against it--and at the same time to ignore
the Radical protection members who voted
against the amendment making it Y cents
instead Of 8 cents on the 100 pounds, is
a feat that surpasses all former triumphs Of
that extraordinary man who edits the lu-
minous Grant organ. How o democratic
member is to DO made responsible for the
defeat Of a measure vigorously advocated
by himself, and lost because his Republican
opponents chose to ignore the rights Of his
constituents, must be supported by more
satisfactory reasons than those published
in last Saturdays issue. The. people OF
this county are not fools enough to believe
such stuff, and coming from such a
source. In its charge the Grant organ Of.
