Never In a Presidential contest upon the
October elections was such drlyel written In
the Tribune or indeed In any American news
paper. II remained for Reid TO do II In the
great journal that has been so unaccouuta-
bly, prostituted to subserye the purposes and
the schemes of as Infamous gang Of pOllt-
lcal shystcr5, trcksters and adventures as
ever attempted to seize power In any coun-
try. Every journal In the land that has the
slightest regard for Its reputation, no matter
how interested II has been In this contest, has
already given up the fight, save and accept

whose control Is now In the hands Of a man
who has not dared to deny that he was hired TO
Islander Mr.. Lincoln at time when the fate
Of the republic tremblcd In the balance.

At this writing the result In Indiana Is still
in doubt. The afternoon dispatches Of the
Associated Press yesterday conceded the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Hendricks, but subsequent prl-
vate adyices up to Q O'Clock, p. m, seemed
to turn the scale the other way.
Whether Mr.. Hendricks has been defeated
or elected Is matter Of very small conse-
quence so far as the Presidential election is
concerned. II will have no effect whatever
upon the November result. Indiana Is GER
tam to go for Gen. Grant. Concedlng the
triumph of Mr.. Hendricks we have still
achieved Republican victory. The SenA-
torshlp and not the Goyernorship was the
real point in dispute. 1t was the defeat
Of Mr.. Oliver p Morton rather than the
election Of Mr.. Hendricks to the gubernato-
rial chair that the Liberals desired TO accom-
plsh. Mr.. Hendricks was the hardest man
TO beat In Indiana. lie Is gentleman of
high character and of excellent reputation.
aud the only trouble that he had was In car
Tyiug the enormous load Of the old man Of
tue Tribune, and OF having an opponent so
strong, so brave, so rGsolute, so true TO party,
so true TO the republic, to loyalty and free
dom as Oliver 2. Morton. Indiana, cOnCedlng
for arguments sake that Hendricks Is elected,
hOnOrs the one and rewards the other. When
the time 10 honor and reward Gen. Grant
comes she will do It IN way that will carry
with II no uncertain sound.

The Patriot gave up the fight yesterday
morning, Us fOllOwss at Is useless to disguise
that the state elections on Tuesday have not
fulfilled our expectations. The results have
disappointed Us In many ways, but chiefly In
demonstrating that the Liberals have not
shown the strength they claimed with so
much confidence. This Is not the moment to
consider the causes which may have led TO u
failure so apparent aud unfortunate. We
look at the naked fact as II stands, without
investigating Its philosophy. There will be
time enough for that inquiry hereafter, when
ii may be pursued without any other feeling
than that Of calm and practical analysis
We desire to help our contemporary In Its
practical analysis" The late elections have
gone against the coalition first of all because
the people desired to express their conf
dense In the purity, the ability aud the In
tegrity of Gen. Grant aud OF Gen. Grants
administration.
They went against the coalition because
they feel and know that this whole
Liberal movement Is one of the most trans
parent frauds and humbugs; that ii was con-
cclycd In dlshOnOr and born Of iniquity.
Again, the elections went against the coall-
ton because the people desired to mark their
condemnation of MIR. GrcCley's treachery to
his party and treason TO every principle OF
his life. Tho elections went against the coal
ition because the people desire peace, because
they desire an honest settlement of the issues
growing out of the war, because they mean
that the legitimate results of the war shall be
accepted without the least mental reservation.
There are we know, thousands Of men In
the South who have accepted them already;
but the South, Us a section, has not done so.
Witness Georgia only "A few days ago.
The old ncgrO-hating, negro.shOOtin spirit
broke. out US virulent as ever. The North
wants a settlement Of this question, and II is
going to have 1t. It desires peace and re-
Cancellation; 1t desires to see the South all
that she was in glory aud grandeur aud ma
terial prosperity; but ii wants something
more than mere truce with the spirit Of Sc
cesslOn and misrulc. The Administration, so
far as We know anything about 1t, means
peace to all men, to the late soldier OF the
Confcderacy, TO the Indian, to the North the
East and the West, but It must be on a last
ing and durable basis. Shall 1t be had?

In no place have the results of the October
elections beGn made more manifest than Ia
Wall street. Business of all kinds breathes
freer now,that II Is absolutely certain that
'Ihe very miscellaneous old man" will not be
In position to play fast and loose with our
finances, and that tic Infamous FentOu will
not be Mr.. Greeley's prime minister The

the story. Here are some extracts from one I!

President Grants election TO q second term Is
now as reasonably sure as any future event can
be, and men Of all shades OF political opinion
agree In welcoming this solution Of difficulties
In the interest OF the cOuntTy's trade, commerce

complete restoration OF confidence In all
backed by solid material reasons-An abundant
harvest and large surplus, supplies Of cotton,

THE sudden conversion OF political doubt
into tho certainty Of victory for President
Grants administration impaired a confident
tone TO nearly all departments Of the Stock
Exchange. The public funds are hrm to the
close, allowing for the decline In gold, and the

hearish people seemed to compete With tho bulls
for purchases, and the market showed a good

The terrible calamity that beicll the cuun-
try on last Tuesday must be studied and con
sidcred to be properly appreciated. First Of
all, the eminently pure and incOrruptiblc
Liberal candidate for the Presidency was
beaten, aud will never 10 all human proba-
blllty, have a chance to reform and rcgcn-
crate the republic. Mr.. Greeley and oil his
friends were fairly on fire with reform, but
now, alas! all their hopes have been blasted
and they despair OF RcpubllcanIsm on this
Western continent. The horrible condition
of affairs that has existed for the last four
years will practically continue. Mr.. Bout
well will persist in selling gold aud buying
bonds every month, and, worse than that
will 90 on boarding millions Of dollars In the
Treasury. The sanity aud immaculate Fem
ton will never have an opportunity Of show
ing what he can do In the wey Of relieving
the people by assstlng Mr.. Greeley In empty
Ing the Treasury.

statesman is in all probability lost to 40 for
ever; the illustrlous Upton has sunk to rise

The elections held thus far, and the reason
able results Of those to DO held, render 1t
almost absolutely certain that We shall have
almost q two thirds majority in the Forty
Third Congress. We shall retain nearly al
our old leaders, except Mr.. bingham, who
failed of denomination by only one vote

Aruolds, like Banks and Blair. FlrnswOrth
never was a leader In the Republican party,
aud In losing him we have made
an immense gain. Pennsylvania has
elected nearly three fourths Republicans
out of her enlarged representation Of twenty
nine members. Indiana sends US eight or
nine Republicans out Of thirteen; and New
York Is certainly good for twenty-four Re-
publiCans out OF thirty-thrce members. There
Is scarcely State In the Uuion, with the cx-
ception OF negotiating, negro.shooting

The Tribune has at last become inano.
During the last six months II has been daily
falling lower aud lower in popular opinion,
until 1t has at length reached the point where
people of every party with the least particle
Of intelligence simply laugh at it. In an ar
tlclc on the results OF the recent elections In
It's issue of yesterday, instead of accepting
the situation, as nearly oil the Democratic
papers Of the country have done, 1t still holds
out-ln gasplng sort Of a way, 1t Is true, but
II still holds Out-and shows It's utter disre-
gard OF common sense and of OrdiaAry pollt-
ical sagacity by claiming that Grceley's cleo
ton Is still certain. We cannot possibly &C.
count for this stupendOus stupidity on any
other ground than that It's editor, Reid, who
was paid two hundred and fifty dollars per
month In 1864 for slandCriDg Mr.. Lincoln In
the interest of MIR. Chase Is now In receipt
Of some similar sum fol deiaming General
Grant and tue prominent men in the Repub-
lean party.
How long the stockholders OF the Tribune
will permit him to use It's columns In this
way remains to be seen. We have reason to
know that II Will be- only very short time.

We have too much respect for Mr.. Greeley
to think that the above was printed In the
Tribune with his approval. We know thOt
he gives up the fight, and that, II he had been
in New York instead of Baltimore on Wednes-
day night, he would not hold out any such
deluslyc hopes to his supporters. 1t Is posi-
lively wrong. The Presidential campaign
was virtually decided on Tuesday, aud 1t is alb
solutely criminal to attempt to prolong 1t to
keep mp this feeling of bitterness and intense
partisauship. 1t lntcricres with business,
disturbs values and binders the material ad-
Vancement Of the country. Men Of all sections

r1eHrKN1Ee THE GRASP OF THE MONEY


The Denton Union states that petitions are IN
circulation in Caroline county, memoriAlizing
the Legislature OF Maryland for She passage OF
law to increase the, jurisdiction Of Justices OF
the Peace to the determination OF cases wherein
no greater sum than two hundred dollars is in
volyed. The objects OF this law are, first, to
manifest hatred against the Republican Sheriff
and to reduce his fees to mere paltry considera-
tion and, second, to enable money-lenders to
force the class Of people in moderate cireum-
stances, who owe money either to pay heavily
for fcrbearAnce or to be sold out by the Consta-
BILE. Certainly the people Of Caroline county
learning wisdom from the past, will hardly dare
append their names to such pstition-a peu'
ton which promises only to place them more
and more at the mercy Of the money-lendine
vampires who are, and have been. sucking NJ
the life and energy of themselves and children
We cannot believe it, Too many living evidences
surround them on every hand. They have seer
the hoary-headed sire quickly stripped Of the
toll Of his youth, and the young man, struggling
a rainst fate, robbed of his inheritance. The!
have seen woe and want introduced into home
where peace and comfort were wont to dwell, ant
where life was unaccostomed to thorns or bur
dens. A lively remembrance of these thing
ought to forbid the appendage OF single nam
to the petition.
