The New York Evening Post cautions
the Democrats not to be too joyful over
the recent elections. Ii says:
but the condition OF affairs is easily ex-
planned and not wholly TO the satisfaction
OF the Democratic partisans. In all the
states we have named, except Oregon,
the opposition it still controlled by the
Democratic managers, and the fact has not
prevented many voters who desire to re-
Duke the Administration party tor its mis-
takes from voting with the Democrats TO
do SO. But while the Republicans have
lost, the Democrats, As a distinct party,
have not made permanent gains. They are
not united upon any policy and for any
purpose beyond the notification ofa mere
desire for change, their maorities are
worthless. They might just a. well call
themselves Federalists, or Bourbous, or
Communists, As Democrats, SO far as any
principle or policy they represent is CON
cerned. And this, consequently, il why
these elections, these first guns have no
significance, rs the future elections will
show. In some OF the States yet to hold
elections the Democratic party has yirtu-
ally abandoned the field, and in others
the opposition is largely controlled by
new organization. Vermont and Maine
will >ool shoot of some pretty loud guns
Tor the Administration, aud these will be
distinct Democratic defeats. II we concede
that there Is stIll a Democratic party. Iowa
Is swinging In the balance, but ii the
Administration shall be defeated there it
will be gun for the new party, for the
Democrats, as such, take no hand in the
game. The Democrats in Indiana and Ohio
are so divided and undecided that, what
ever the result, ii can hardly be claimed a.
victory or q defeat for them. IL they
carry Pennsylvania IL will notoriously be
a victory for protection. SO tho earlier
elections, on the whole, do not promise
what the Democrats seem to hope fora
Democratic revival They do promise,
however, to c!ca- the way Tor better polit-
ical management In the future"

The VALUE OF A GoOD NAME.-fhe
Philadelph Press allnde, to two circum-
stances In the controversy between Mr..
Beecher and Nr. Tilton. First, the mod
erat and dspassionate judgment OF The
journals, and, second, the remarkable
unanimity. wherever there is an expires
sion of opinion. with which that opinion
leans in favor of Henry Ward Beecher."
The Press too, justly remarks upon this,
that II great name and 4 great reputa-
ton, built up by life OF good works are
TO be struck down in a night time by the
ex parte statement of any man. then a
good name and good reputation are not
what we have been taught to believe and
to hope them to be"

1t was perhaps our duty as Editors 10
carefully follow the progress of the Beech
er scandal and summarize 1t for our read
ers. but we have not the necessary pa.
tience. 1t has become a bore to every
body out of New York. and all will be
relieved when 1t sinks into oblivion.
II is not safe to pronounce any judg-
ment. II is a matter of regret that 20
many people are ready to believe Mr..
Beecher guilty, and indeed to hope that
he is guilty. Mr.. Beecher should have
before the public. the full benefit OF a
presumption oi Innocence, Siias ue wouIu
have before jury. Nothing should be
believed against him until prove and on
ly after the case is all out Terrible in
justice has sometime been done by too
hasty judgments. The point OF the case
at present would seem to be this-whether
the alleged letters are genuine, and il
they are. whether Beecher can reconcile
them with the hypothesis Of his innocence.
The rule in the courts would be that the
letters must be inconsistent with every
hypothsis but one, that of guilt In pub
lie opinion, the rule will not be so favora-
bic - the accused.

The Elections.

The result of the recent elections in
some Of the southern States may be part
ly attributed 10 the operations OF the
Amnesty acts in restoring TO citizenship
large numbers of di.franchied rebels
These would naturally vote against the
Republican Party, and their more active
influence since the bln was removed would
also have its effect. Dislike of the civil
rights bill now before Congress, undoubt-
edly influenced many white Republicans
That these elections are AT all indica-
tive of any change in the sentiment OF the
nation at large. no one will seriously
clam. That the Southern States would
naturally become anti-Republican a, fast
as the old rebel element came to have
votes, was expected. at least in those
States where the white vote largely
preponderates. The Republicans la those
states will make a gallant fight and hope
in time to secure a peaceful and perma-
neut victory for equal rights. The Re
publicans In the more favored sections of
the Country must stand by them. and
give them the moral aid of still larger
majprities.
