ANIMPROYEn TONE.

Among the significant results of the
October elections, supplemented as
they have been by those of November,
is the change of tone noticeable in
many of our Independent Journals.
The Democracy is no longer denounced
as a dead party which already
stinketh," etc. The clamor of two
months ago for its burial, - has alto
gether ceased Abuse of the Demo.
cratic ''label'' can io longer be substi-
tuted for argument, when that label
leads everything else in the two great
representative States Of the North and
West, New York and Ohio-when the
best laid plans Of the Administration
arc utterly spoiled by the Democracy
OF Maryland-and when even in Wis
consin, with the farmers aid, one of
the office-holding Washburns is ousted
by ticket in which that same label
leads, l. E., the Democratic Liberal
Reform" Unable to resist longer the
inexorable logic Of events, our ''indif-
ferentials" are quietly dropping into
the old Democratic ruts, denouncing
Federal interference and usurpation in
Louisiana, clamoring for the reserved
rights of the States, demanding a re-
peal OF the back-salaly grab, and lay
ing at the doors Of the Radical party
the whole blame for the present nniost
unwholesome condition of the country's
finances. 1t is upon these living issues
that the Democracy has won its recent
victories, without any help from the In
dependents; and in fact In spite of their
ill-disguised opposition.
We are rather disposed to take adj
vantage of the present opportunity for
ventilating a few other absurdities with
which our people have been amused at
intervals for some few years back. The
practical impossibility Of third par
ty' has been demonstrated for the
twentieth time. The small clique in
Tennessee who have advocated third
party under various shapes and subter-
fuges, have at last been obliged to con-
fess themselves a mere faction seeking
to hold the balance Of power" between
the two real parties. Even the Cincin-
natl Commercial now sings very small
about that third party in Ohio, whose
vote was to be the only significant fea-
ture of the fall elections. Practically,
there are but two political parties in
the country. Practically, it would re-
quire many years of toll and defeat be-
fore any new party could grow to the
size and stature and strength of the
Democracy. So all practical patriots
who wish to see an end to Radical usur-
patton and corruption, must see in
these practical facts that their duty is to
swell with their vote and influence the
ranks Of the Democracy.

THELAROR OUTLOOK.

The Neav York Times of the Sth inst.
publishes full reports of the prospects
of labor in various parts of the North
and New England, from which it says
there are fewer grounds of encourage
nent than it has heretofore been able
to present: The Times adds.
''The times are hard enough and may
possibly be still harder, but it is as well to
remember that the effect 0f bad news ought
not to be measured by its degree of promi-
nence. The prosperous course of trade,
like the peaceful tenor of national life, has,
comparatively speaking, no history"
The Ne,u YORK. Tribune of the 9Th
inst, publishes a full and careful state
ment of the condition of business in a
great number of localities in the North
ern and Middle States. in regard to
which it says:
''Ihe variety of trade interests reported
upon and the thoroughneSs with which the
reports have been made up commend them
to the serious attention of the reader. The
conclusion to which one must arrive, after
perusal of these letters and papers, is that
the condition of the country is improving
rather than otherwise. Here and there
some distress is imminent; and, in not a
few places, the winter prospect is gloomy.
But It Is evident that the effects of the pros
tration of business have been exaggerated.
Indeed, how far the fears Of those most like
ly to be affected have served to deepen the
depression, we can only guess. Our cores
pondence shows that there is much appre7
hension andvert little distress. Operatives
in New England manufacturing towns are
most likely to suffer from coming hard
times. Westward, the pressure grows light
er; and the great mining aud iron-working
districts of Ohio and Western Pennsylvania
withstand the panic fiuch more cheerfully
than possibly could have been expected"

The funeral of Gen. Hardee occurred on
the evening of the Sth inst, and the people
of Selma turned out en- mass to do honor to
his memory and to testify by the Uutpour-
ing their love for the grand old hero.
Giving an account of the funeral the Selma
Times says:
One of the features of the procession was
the old war horse of Gen. Hardee, without
rider, following the hearse that contained
all that was mortal of him that he had
borne on many bloody and victorious
field. the eyes Of many of us who had
seen the noble dead and the gallant steed
on many glorious occasions, were dimmed
with tears of sympathy and sorrow as rec
objections of the past came wildly before
the minds eye. We thought of Shiloh, of
Missionary Ridge, of Ringold Gap, and the
battles from Dalton to Atlanta, the most
wonderful campaign recorded on the pages
of modern history, and the grandness of the
dead hero again came out in its fullness.
At the cemetery thousands had gathered
to pay the last sad tribute to the old hero,
whom they loved while living, and now
mourned, and as the column moved into
the enclosure all heads were bowed in sor-
row. At the grave the appropriate burial
service Of the Episcopal Church was recited
ard the remains were given to mother
earth, there to remain till that day that
mortal shall put on Immortality. There
was a vast assemblage at the cemetery, i'll
fact the largest we have ever seen in Selma.
It was not only his old soldiers that loved
and honOred Gen. Hardee, but the people
who have known him as a citizen and civil
liam shared that affection and respect, and
in all the years that he lived in Selma as a
citizen, there were none OF her people but
that honored and respected him. The grea
out-pouring, the closing of stores, the sus-
pension Of business, and the universal grief
manifested yesterday, speak more eloquent
ly Of the feelings Of this people than our
feeble pen could possibly portray. He has
gone tn the grave, but his inefiiory will ever
be fresh in our hearts, and his life and deeds
will ever be cherished as one of the price
less legacies Of our people.
